MR.

DOVER, THURSDAY MORNING.—Since Tuesday , evening a very heavy gale of wind from the west-south west has prevailed along this portion of the coast, and unfortunately been productive of much havoc amongst the shipping, several coasters having been lost. Her Majesty's mail steam yacht Vivid, Commander Sinitliett, met with a serious accident yesterday in attempting to enter the harbour. She had made a very quick passage from Ostend ; and just at the moment of her entering the harbour two or three tre mendous seas took her and carried the vessel with fear ful violence against the head of the north pier. Her paddlebox and bulwarks were carried away and her en gines rendered unmanageable. Fortunately she got clear off, and with the aid of canvas succeeded in getting clear of the South Foreland and made for the Downs, where she brought up, and a lugger being sent out to her the passengers and mail were landed in safety. About the same time the Boulogne steamer for Folkestone passed to the Downs—being unable to make that harbour. Neither of the Calais steamers made their appearance. Northward, numerous casualties are reported by the pilots. The master of a brigantine lying in the roads reports seeing a schooner go down eight miles north of Beachy Head; all on board are supposed to have perished. The formidable cha racter of the sea prevented the brigantine getting near the spot to render assistance. upon the Earl of Clarendon. d e Hl T i n s ee of tVACANThe Earl GARTER.—'she Carlisle of The Garter has ,it v is saida c n b e t e b n y the con ferredWEL- Till LATE HON.

Colonel Liddell, and other connexions, were to attend the funeral. The late Countess of Mornington (mother of the deceased), and the late Marquis Wel lesley, the Earl of Mornington, and Lord Cowley, are all interred in the family vaultiat South Aud le y Cha p el. FATAL REMORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the body of Henry Fox, aged 34, a lamplighter in the employ of the City Gas Company. On Saturday last the deceased and his wife had been taken to the station house for creating a disturbance in the street, and being drunk and disorderly. On Monday they were charged before Sir Peter Laurie with the offence, and fined 65. each The unfortunate deceased would seem to have been generally of temperate habits, and the disgrace of having been locked up in a station-house preyed exces sively on his spirits; and this, coupled with the fear of losing his situation at the gas-works, at length led him to hang himself. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. SIGNS ow Wrzczart.—Several flocks of wild geese have been seen upon the Cornish coast, and quantities of starlings have also made their appearance. Many woodcocks have shown themselves, and a few have been shot. A beautiful specimen of the osprey or fishing hawk (pancion haliachis), was caught alive at Moors• water Lodge, by P. Lyne, Esq. It was seen for several days previously about the grounds, induced to remain there probably for the purpose of preying on the trout in the fish ponds, although it had been once fired at. It was finally captured by means of a rat-gin placed on a high pole, on which the bird attempted to perch ; it was very slightly injured, and is now in Mr. Lytle' a possession. According to Montagu, the osprey is rarely met with in England, and more frequently in Devonshire than elsewhere.—Plymouth. Journal. MARDLE VAIIIIIING, OA SLATT Ohio, according to a New York paper, a Mr. Blake, of Akron, has discovered a curious mineral, soft at first, and like indigo, but hardening in a few days into a slaty stone. On analysis it is found to consist of about one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, with mag nesia,oxide and sulphate of iron, lime, and carbon. By reducing paint, it to fine powder, mixing with linseed oil into thick and applying it with a brush to wood, iron, tin, zinc, or brick, it becomes, after a few months' exposure, perfectly hard and indestructible. As a protection against fire, it is said to be invalu able. In the west it is in large demand for covering roofs of buildings, for bridges mad fences, ac., all of which i t protects from weather as well as from fire.

We make a present of the sugges tion to the Portland cement manufacturers. Pa rian cement mixes with oil, and might thus, we think, be used as paint, or for stony veneering ; and certainly the surface of blocks of Portland cemen, reminds one a good deal of slate: the hardening, toot from a soft or moist state very much adds to the resem blance which it bears to this new world's wonder. By the way, silica, with lime, has been found, if we mistake not, to form a sort of glaze well adapted to give a stony d veneering, like thi s , t o p l aster.-7 he Builder.

THE ATTORNET AT THE DEATH-BED SIDE.— Spoaking of the sudden emergencies which demand the energies of the legal man, Mr. Warren says:—" Take a case which I glanced at in a former lecture; your being sent fur in haste, to prepare the will of some one sud denly seized with mortal illness, or who has suffered some dreadful accident, hurrying him to a premature death-bed. It may be a person of great wealth, whose property, both real and personal, is in a complicated con dition—whose business transactions are extensive and intricate—who has a large family to provide for. He is suddenly bidden, by the Supreme Disposer of events, to turn his pale face to the_ wall. Haste! fixate! Life is ebbing fast away: his family are weeping around him; but he is waiting for—is thinking of—you, in his agony and alarm: he has but an hour or two—it may be less time to live: he has, with fatal imprudence, delayed making his will till this terrible moment, and you are now suddenly summoned, as the nearest professional man accessible. Writing materials are at band: the medical man has ominously whispered that you have not a moment to lose; and he leaves you for awhile with his dying patient. As you look on him—as you listen to him—are you flustered and bewildered? Does your ill. regulated, turbid mind, fail to follow your unhappy client, so that you do not distinctly perceive his inten tions and wishes—intelligible though they really are— for the disposition of his property; do you feel a sicken ing consciousness that you cannot carry them into effect; or do you, perhaps, imagine that you can, when you really cannot? You draw up, however, a document, professing to secure the interests of many tenderly. beloved children, tied other dear afflicted beings depen dent upon the testator, and their very sobbings may be audible to you. Having caused that instrument to be executed, you quit the apartment, assuring your client almost at the last gasp, that as far as regards his worldly affairs, he may die in peace ; and you depart with his feeble thanks in your ears, the pressure of his feeble fingers on yours;—and yet, the instant that the will comes into operation, it explodes, as it were, like a shell! shattering every interest which it touches! It plunges everybody and everything into inextricable confusion; involves those whom your poor client best loved, in ruinous and sometimes malignant and interminable liti gation; your blunder is proclaimed, canvassed, and vainly sought to bo rectified, in Court after Court of Law, and Equity; you are unable to bear the agonizing but un availing reproaches of those on whom your ignorance or incapacity has entailed such lamentable evils. You dare not go near the grave of him whom you have so dreadfully deceived and wronged!— Warren on Attornies and Solicitors. UNIVERSIT .. Y . COLLEGE, OXFORD, OCT. 27.-111 r. Thomas Valpy French, scholar, and Earl of Leicester's exhibitioner of this college, was this day elected to the vacant fellowship. 13121INCHLET.—Great alarm prevailed here on Sa turday morning by the cry of " Fire." It appears that Mr. E. Monckton, of the Parsonage farm, was awoke by Mrs. Monckton, at about two o'clock in the morning, s h e seeing an unusual light in the air; and Mr. Monckton, on going to the window, saw the large barn in flames, An express was immediately sent to Tunbridge Wells (seven miles distant) for the town engines, which arrived in about two hours, when the scene was terrific, two barns and a hay barn, with contents, being destroyed. Had it not been for the exertions of Mr. Lambert and others, the lofty granary, stables, &e., must hare also been burnt,—Maidstone paper. Cross-examined by the ATTORNET-GENERAL—Be came a Chartist a week after the 10th of April. Was at the meeting at Bonner's-fields, and had attended several ef the Chartist meetings. Belonged to the Marylebone vality. Mr. Justice MAIILE—What do you understand to be a Chartist. Witness—A person who is anxious to get a fair day's wages for a fair day's work.—(Laughter.) The ATTOMIET-GENERAL—HOW do you expect to get it? Witness—by peaceable means; by petitioning, and not by using such- - weapons as this (pointing to the pike). Mr. Justice MAtrLE—Then you are not a physical force Chartist? Witness—No.—(Laughter.) Cross-examination continued—Witness was a member of the Emmett Brigade. Emmett was hung many years ago, but witness did not know for what. It was not for petitioning. Thomas Paris—Was a blacksmith, residing at Green wich.. Knew Davis, and was sorry he did so. Witness never saw him work, but saw those guns, pistols, and other things is his shop. Met Davis on the 16th of August, about one o'clock. He said to Witness, " You are the very man I want." He said to saltness " This is the night the blow is to be struck ;" and ho asked witness to come up to London. Davis said he was " all right" or " all ready," and opened his coat and showed some tricoloured ribbon. " In preparing the above tables, it has been the earnest wish of the directors to exhibit, in as clear and intelligible a form as possible, not only the whole expenditure already incurred, but an estimate of all future liabilities.

" The North Union hue i s also a joint-lease with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at ten per cent. per annum ; the loss upon this undertaking has been charged in the revenue account of the general concern, and In both cases it is not improbable that any loss will entirely disappear with the return of commercial prosperity. " The Shropshire Union lines are guaranteed a dividend equal to half of that of the London and North- Western Company, but are entitled to any profits on their own line as far as six per cent. ; further profits to be divided equally between the two compani,,,. Tho nominal capital is large, but the Shropshire Union Company has at present confined its outlay to the formation of a line from Shrewsbury to Stafford ; the calculations appended, refer only to that work, which brings a new and important district into immediate connection with the centre o f th e L on d on an d N o rth Western Company's lines. Tho canal forms a portion of this guarantee, but as it has produced a nett pro fit considerably above the guarantee, and is not likely to be seriously affected by surrounding interests, the directors f ee l much confidence in ass ur i ng t h e propr i e t o rs that they do not anticipate any d ra i n on their resources from this undertaki n g. " The Stour Valley line will be an expensive work, an d t h e cos t will exceed the original estimate in con sequence of the line of passing the Birm i ngham through a de Canal pl ? o rendered e ritth. w o Company difficult e st e r to calculate e its expen se . ‘T is on 565,750/.

A principal object has been to save capital on new lines by a union of interests w h ere the parties occupy the same districts. It would be premature to specify the particular points ut which th e y con template this economy, but should the arrangements now proposed be carried out, the affect would be materially to reduce the general expenditure. " The only rem a i n ing guarantee is that to the Scottish Central Company, which is taken in concert with the Cro!!s-examined by the ATToRNEY-GENERAII—Did not know whether he was a Chartist or not, but upon being pressed, he admitted that he was, and belonged to the Wat Tyler Brigade. Davis was a class leader. Witness bought a gun in order, if there was to be a fight, he might be ready as well as the rest. Davis said there would be a revolution, but witness said there would not, at they were not ready. Davis had always a brave of pistols about him. The gun witness bought was a Queen Anne's piece, and a real rum one.—(Laughter.) Witness gave 6s. for it. Reuben Collett—Was a baker and knew Davis. Was not a Chartist, and had never been asked by Davis to become one. Saw pistols in Davis's shop. Had heard Davis say he was a Chartist, but never beard him say he would wallow knee seep in blood for the rights of his fellow creatures. Thomas Martin said that he had beard Davis make use of that expression, but Collett was not present. John Matthews, a bricklayer at Greenwich—Had seen Davis at several of the Chartist meetings in Greenwich With pistols, and urging the people to join the Chartists. John Hanks, of Greenwich, said that Davis had told him half-ineh chisels were very good things to tear up the bowels of the police, and, pointing to a musket, he said, " these are the things that will settle your special constables." Witness would not believe Davis on his oath. Cross- examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Davis knew witness was a special constable. Witness would not join the Chartists, because he knew what they wanted could never be carried out in this country. John Stanton, John Vinegar, and several other wit nesses from Greenwich, were examined for the purpose of contradicting the evidence of Davis, but they did not succeed in doing so in any material respect. Several other witnesses were called and examined, for the purpose of contradicting the evidence given by the informer Barrett, but they did not shake his testimony ! ,1 1 any material degree. The evidence given by these w i tnesses was a recapitulation of 1848. Lancaster and Carlisle, Caledonian, and Edinburgh and Glasgow Companies. The lease is 7 per ceet. on a ca pital not exceeding 1,020,0001. (of which this compan') s proportion is one-fourth); and as the Ims, if any, i s to be borne only in proportion to the traffic which each company receives from it, the risk is inconsiderable. " The directors may dismiss, therefore, this descrip tion of engagements with rem:stating, that if they do not offer any early or flattering prospects of profit, neither as a whole (taking into account the additional traffic to be brought upon the old lines) are they calculated to prove a lasting burden on the company; and further that the control of the working of these important branches will add to the strength and security of the whole undertaking is beyond doubt; and when time has been afforded for the development of their resources, it is not unreasonable t o ex p ect t h at pro fi t a l so w ill b e derived from them. In dealing with these engagements, there fore, the directors assume that the liabilities will be met by the proceeds. " The next class of obligations is that in which the corn [,any hold stock in undertakings not yet opened, or only partially so. The amount of capital thus contri buted, as per schedule 3, is 4,945,231/. " The directors are aware that the net revenue to be derived from these several lines may be variously esti mated; but however sanguine may be the expectations of those competent to form an opinion of what may pro bably be realised in a few years, they desire in this statement to take a safe view of the probable results. " In estimating, therefore, the net proceeds of these undertakings at 3 per Gent., they by no means wish to convey an impressicn that such is likely to be the issue, but rather to place the calculation on o low a scale as not to be open to question. "The subscript ion to t h e Caledonian Company is so limited in extent that a very small dividend would not entail much loss. " The Lancaster and Carlisle line has paid the com pany 4 per cent. on its stock since the opening, and the traffic has so la rge ly i ncreased, that an early advance of dividend may be expected. There will consequently be a direct profit on this stock, and one which the directors feel confident must steadily improve. " The branch lines embraced in the second schedule comprise extensions into new districts, such as the Stamford arid Rugby Railway, the Clifton branch con necting the East Lancashire with the Liverpool and Manchester line, the tunnel and new stations in Liver pool, and the enlargement of station accommodation. The last named portion of this capital cannot be expected to prove remunerative per se, but will be necessary to enable the company to obtain the traffic expected to arise- from the new lines and extensions about to be opened in various directions. The means of conducting the goods traffic at Liverpool are now quite inadequate to the demand, and comparatively speaking a small por tion only of the traffic to and from the interior of the country is yet transferred to the railway. The new station at the north end of Liverpool, and the expected junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line at Manchester, are calculated considerably to in crease this business. The capacity of the Lon don and North-Western line for receiving and convey ing a very large accession of traffic is undoubted; but without the terminal enlargement now in course of being provided, the directors would have found it difficult to manage such an increase, as on a revival of the com mercial prosperity of the country, may reasonable be expected. "Having now rapidly glanced at their various liabili ties, it remains for the directors to point the attention of the proprietors to the present state of the capital and revenue accounts, and to supply materials which may enable them to form their own judgment of the future return. " From the summary it will be seen that the total ultimate expenditure is expected to be 25,862,0121. The account will therefore stand thus : Dividend upon total share ca pital of . • • 421,047,747 at 7 per cent. £1,478,342 Loans, £4,814,265, at 43 per cent. .. „ 216,642 Lees at 334 per cent. on Z 4,945,131, assumed return on capital of subsidiary lines as per schedule 3 .. 173,083 Working expenses 40 per cent. on gross income Total .. 43,659 1,516,90/ •• 1,011,266 1.3 62$ 167 Ayerage per week, to pay 7 per cent. .. • . £.48,618 " The gross reveane of the year ending 30th June, 1848, was 2,194,0931., or an average of 42,1941. per week. "It therefore remains for the shareholders to decide whether the preceding calculations are sound and mode , rate, and if so, whether there is a reasonable probability of the gross revenue of the company from the main line and branches to be opened increasing to an extent of 6,424/. per week by the year 1852, when all the capital will be called up, and the subsidiary lines be in operation. " To produce such an increase, there is the addi tional revenue to be derived from all the lines enume rated in Schedules 2 and 3; and that steady annual in crease, which, with the exception of periods of severe depression, has taken place since the lines were opened —to which should be added, that economy of menage. ment which increased experience will enable the direc tors to introduce. " On the other hand, the directors do not overlook the fact, that a certain amount of traffic will be abstracted by competing lines. It will be much less than is usually supposed, and the general traffic is secure to thecuncern. " In conclusion, the directors beg to remark that they have endeavoured to avoid giving an undue colouring to the prospects of the company. At the same time they have deemed it their duty to arm the shareholders with an answer to the mis-statements that have pins forth; and it will be satisfactory to them to have imparted to the proprietors that confidence which they themselves continue to feel in the undertaking.

Sin,—The Legislature has, out of paternal regard to the morality of the lieges, abolished lotteries and enacted severe penalties against public gambling, but left thimble rigging and " bearing" stocks as still lawful games. We class both pursuits together, as we can conceive no dif ference between cheating with a thimble and pea and cheating without them. " Bearing" cannot be successfully prosecuted without resorting to practices as disreputable as thimblerigging, and it is melancholy to reflect that so respectable a body as the members of the Stock-Ex change collectively are, should lend the influence of their name to statements so very fallacious as have ap• peered in their Weekly Share List. It is notorious that, notwithstanding the great depression in railway stock, there has been no corresponding amount of transfers sent in for registration. This is also confirmed by the experience of all purchasers, that it is extremely difficult to get delivery of any stocks bought. This shows that brokers generally must lend themselves to the conspi racy that has been entered into to depress prices. Is is necessary, therefore, that the public should take the initiative in protecting themselves. It is simply this— let every purchaser of shares, in sending an order to his broker to buy, intimate that unless the transfer with certificates are sent to him within ten days from his order, he will consider his order cancelled, and the shares bought to be at the risk of the broker. Brokers may make any law they choose, but as ono of the Learned Lords recently told them, they can make no law incon sistent with the laws of the country. This simple rule would instanter produce a favourable reaction. It is obviously the interest of all respectable brokers to set their fuce against a system so injuriou itn s htae t tr o eas t t h s e o i f r t o h w ei n r e c lla ha p r i a o c y t e e r r and s. so etthdeenastarluwcatiyvse r o e f col t l h e e ct deprecia tion of property is beneficial only to the few, and disas trous to the many, so that their own interest is identified with what commutes to the prosperity of the majority. The insertion of this will oblige, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. Edinburgh, O c t. 26, 1848. " THE YOUNG COUNTESS."—Mrs. Trollope's new novel, " The Young Countess," is just published, and promises to leecome one of the most popular of her stories. It is au illustration of aristocratic life, in which the two powerful passions, love and jealousy, are made to produce incidents so extraordinary, that, as de scribed by the talented authoress, they cannot fail to leave a very strong impression upon the reader; indeed, " The Young Countess " may be said to be one of the most remarkable works of fiction that have been pub lished for some years.—.Evceing Paper. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THA ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.—Bn tiNcHAm, FRIDAY.—A meeting w as h e ld a yesterday at the Philosophical Rooms, Cannon-street, in this town, for the purpose of adopting resolutions with regard to the meeting of the association, which Is ap pointed to take place in this town in September next. Mr. Geach, the Mayor, occupied the chair. Mr. Phillips, the secretary of the association, then entered at great length and with great clearness into the history, the present condition, and the pros pects of the association. This speech was listened to with great attention, and seemed to excite general ap probation. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. J. C. Miller, rector of Birmingham, the Rev. J. C. Barrett, the Rev. J. A. James, Independent Mi nister of Can's. lane; W. Wills, Esq., W. Chance, jun., J. Russell, Esq., and other gentlemen interested in prcmoting the objects of the institution. They were all unanimous in offering accommodation to the distin guished scientific guests who would visit the town on that occasion. The meeting will take place the week after the Birmingham Festival.
