Office of the Society; 32, Sackville-street, Piccadilly. In the present eventful state of Ireland, the Committee of the Irish. Soch:ty of London would call the attention of the public to the beneficial results of the Society's labours in that Country, and would earnestly appeal for increased support, to carry out the objects which it has in view ; and while they by nu means underva:ue the efforts which are being made, whether by legislation or by private enterprise, to improve the temporal Condition of Ireland, the Committee feel convinced, from much ex perience, that all the remedies proposed must prove unavailing, un less, at the same time, measures aro taken to elevate the moral Character of the Irish peasantry by means of religions instraction. The Irish Society labours in the native districts, where upwards of 3 ,000,000 of the population speak the Irish language. There are now SOO teachers connected with it, who instrnet the native Irish in reading the Word of God. Since the commencement 300,004 individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been taught to read the Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant faith. One hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read Alin Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to groups of the peasantry at work 111 their fields, or by the real side. Seven Irish-sneaking clergymen are in counexlen with the Society Who read the Liturgy; and preach the Gospel in the - native language. Ten congregations if converts have been raised up, or are now ministered to through the instrumentality of the Society. Two of these are in the county of Galway, two in the County of Cork, and six in Kerry. Many Roman Catholics, not included in those distinct congrega tions, have been brought, through the blessing of Almighty God Upon the Society's labours, to renounce the errors of Rome, and are new incorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. In various places crowds of Roman Catholics attend Protestant Charches and School-houses, where an Irish-speaking clergyman has been announced to preach. One clergyman states : " In the Cathedral of L-- I ?reached on Wednesday evening. The church was tilled, the Roman Catholics standing ep to the readtag-desk, and outside the doors. At D--, on Sunday night, there, had we a place large enough, we might have had many hun dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly somber, and those Who were obliged ta stand outside the window occasionally requested that I would speak up, so as they might hear." Another writes : "I had a most interesting tour through the C— Irish districts. I preached 20 sermons, in Irish, to over 2,006 in all. I may count that 1,000 were converts, 500 Rommists, and 500 old Protestants. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard so much about the Sermon from others, that he said lie would ' come to hear the next sermon, if the priest would roast him in the fire for it.' Many a Poor creature from the heart said, 0, when will yon come again ? Alas ! that we hav'nt an Irish ministry.'" Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; but the committee would allude to one more, of considerable importance at the present time, and that is, that wherever the native Irish have been instructed by the Society, they have become loyal subjects of oar Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable practices and illegal associations which are so hostile to the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. The Committee have made diligent inquiries upon this subject,and the replies to their inquiries have been highly satisfactory. The followhig are extracts from one letter out of upwards of twenty of the same character received by the Committee:— " I affirm it as a fact that could" not be contradicted, that out of the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish Society, that none of them are connected with Illegal associations, er with that dan gerous agitation now so formidable, and hostile to Ireland's boat interests. Our teachers an 1 pups are almost entirely friendly to British connexion ; they have felt Rome's spiritual tyranny, and ttm3' believe, if the union with Great Britain were dissolve], that both spiritual and political 'tyranny would become intolerable." And there are not a fe.re instances of members of Ribbon or other Illegal associations having been converted• through the instrutnen tality of the Soaioty, and now employed in teaching their country- Dieu to read the Word of God. _ . . An indvidual who lately visited a congregation of converts in one Of the wildest districts of the west, remarks : ' When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty wel come, crying out' Cead Mille Failthe," Cead Mille Failthe."lhey were orderly in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of God. I was especially pleased with the detheanour of two indivi duals, and net a little grat;fied at afterwards hearing their story. One had been a celebrated and lawless pugilist, the other the leader of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh bourhood ; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers of the Irish Society, they were instructed in the Scriptures, and now, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as well from the change which has taken place, they might be described in the language of inspiration, Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and la their right mind.' Ono of them is the owner of the cabin Where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture Reader employed in the district." To extend these benefits, under the blessing of God, amongst Use Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made. It is aoknewledged by all parties that something must be done for Ireland ; and without limiting the measures which may be devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London Weald respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a prominent place amongst them. It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland, Which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts "England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been instructed by the teachers of the Irish Society, in which crime, sedi tion, and animosity have given place to peace, to loyalty, and goodwill. And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale ? It is a measure which the Committee believe God will honour—that God will surely bless. There is a promise which they would desire to remember, and in humble reliance upon which they carry on the Work committed to their charge —" My w0rd...... shall not return unto me void ; but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach even the Most deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of Man for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any would not work, neither should he eat." It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus give an OPPortunity for the introduction of capital, and the employment of the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of being a burden to others. It will be the • lire remedy for treason and rebellion—" Fear God — honour the king—and meddle not with them that aro given to change." Above all, it will teach them the way of eternal salvation, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.—John ill. 16, 17. — Acts iv. 12. The inhabitants of England, Wales, the Highlands of Scotland, and of the distant colonies, all hear, in their own tongue, the won derful works of God; and the Committee make this appeal to the Christian and benevolent public, that they may be enabled to send to the 3,1100,000 of the native Irish, religious instruction in that lan -Baage which they can understand.

PURCHASER'S POEM, Pray, Messrs. MOSES, don't decline An humble tribute, such as mine ; Nor scorn the vain attempt I make To follow in your poet's wake. For though I don't profess to be A poet of the first degree, I think I've got sufficient tact To tell the public how you act; And here a compliment is due, Namely, that all I say is true. You, Messrs. MOSES I would choose To occupy my humble muse ; Nor could I think of doing less, On looking at your WINTER DRESS. The last new Overcoat I bought Is good in cloth, and firmly wrought ; And then the style which it discloses, Does credit to you Messrs. MOSES. And this applies to all the rest, The Coat, the Trowsers, and the Vest. I said the instant that I bought 'eui, They're just the very thing for Autumn, And really, Messrs. MOSES, that's My notion of your WINTER HATS. and though I'm not a man that flatters, I do pronounce you first-rate Hatters. Your Hats are firm, though light—if not, I certainly don't know what's what. And if not stylish and elastic, My lines have nothing Hudibrastic. These, Messrs. MOSES, arc my views, With reference to your BOOTS AND SHOES. They're good in style, and make, and leather, And, Sirs, I like them altogether I bought a pair just six months back, Which never yet have shown a crack, My lady says the same of hers, And praises up your WINTER FURS. She bids me say she never wore A better Mantle, Muff, or Boa. My lady often tells me, Sirs, MOSES and SON'S are famous Furs. Nor do our notions disagree With reference to your HOSIERY. The quality of such a stock. Is such as nobody can mock. I wish I'd apace to call attention More fully to the goods I mention'. I'm much surprised at what Is paid For these and all the goods in trade. Cheapness and quality I find At your Establishment combined. And while this principle discloses, I'll be A CUSTOMER TO MOSES.

Moro exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every oilier impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from is influence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling cower of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. l'hon 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. Ilow 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, er 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. These 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 tionsia the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from solitary habits, excesses, o z infection. By SAMUEL LAILERT, M.D., Dieter of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Mall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &e. This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author haying ob tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes sloaal experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat ment of time diseases. REVIIINT OF TIM WORK. L.l'Mert en the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are Scenes i• the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result Is ever disastrous. Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him ! In the book before as sech a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing ens idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of ►norality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, epos all whe are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these sages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of s homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

Blackwood (1838), brother of Sir Henry Blackwood, late second ,in command in th• East Indies, are the officers in expectancy of the flag captaincy of this port, when vacated by Captain Charles Eden's appointment as private secretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty. Captain Sir Henry Blackwood (1827) is a candidate for the command of the Vengeance, 84, vice Lushington, in the event of the latter officer's appointment to the su perintendence of the Indian navy. The Superb, 80, Captain Corry, expected hero hourly from the Mediterranean, will be speedily recommissioned, after being paid off all standing. A subaltern and 80 marines of this division are already draughted for her new commission. The squadron to be placed under the orders of Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier is victualling and fitting with considerable alacrity. The 15th is to be the day of sailing. The Reynard screw. schooner, Commander Cracroft, is to Lave one of Mr. Grant's improved com pact cooking utensils, which will economise space and prove of great use in the distillation of salt water. The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, is getting on rapidly with her outfit. She has an excellent picked crew and skilful officers—advantages which will insure her speedy and sound equipment. She is intended to relieve the Grecian, 16, on the south-east coast of America station.

MELANCHOLY INCIDENT A T SEA.- 1 A serious dis aster, involving the los s of not less than five li nes , oc • curred on its homeward voyage to the ship Consbrsok, M'Guire master, which arrived at this port on M unc h y week from Charleston. Rght or nineinonths ag o M r . Joseph Hazlewoed, form erl y a joiner in ,w ent out on b e h a lf Northumber land-street, iu th:s town, but latterly in the haberda s h ery business in Mill-street, To?coth-p of a club of twenty or thirty persons to explore and purchase lands in some of the western states of Ame rica, with a view to e migrate thither. He fixed on a locality in Tennesse, and having made an extensive and eligible purchase, left his brother-in-law (who had gone out with him) on the land, and set out on his return to this country to make the necessary arrangements for a permanent removal. He emba r k e d on board the Consbrook. When t he vessel wa s about twenty miles off the Cove of C ork a bo y be longing to the crew fell overboard. The sea was v e r y rough at the time, but the unfortunat e bo y swimming s t rong l y and imploring assistance, Hazlewood and three of the crew volunteered to lower the boat and attempt a rescue. The ship lay to as well as the weather would permit; but the boat rapidly drifted, and in about t wenty minutes i (having suffered a capsize, it s feared) sudd en l y disap peared from view. The worst fears, however, were not at first entertained. There were hopes on b oard that those in the boat, finding it useless to endeavour to re turn to the ship, had made for Cork, and sa f e l y lauded there. The Consbrook lay windbound in the chann e l for nearly a fortnight subsequently, and o n h er arrival here a messenger waited upon Mrs. Hazlewood to know whether her husband had reached g hom e . Thinking a jest intended, a humorous negative was th e response, and the above melancholy details wer e th en communicat e d to the sorrowing listener. It was daylight at the time of the accident, and it appears marvellous that the boat should have gone dawn unobserved; but there is still a possibility, to which hope clings, that those in the boat may have been picked up, and carried on by some oat ward-bound vessel.—Liverpool Courier.

BEWDLEY.—There was a very warm contest in this borough, but thosa included in the Conservative list were successful by a majority of twenty. The following gen. tlewen were elected :—Mr. John Keightley Gill (Whig), Mr. James Bancks (Conservative), Mr. James Holkin (Conservative), and Mr. J. Tait (Conservative). BRISTOL.—on Wednesday the annual election of town councillors took place, and was marked by a total ab sence of all excitement, and presented a strange con trast to the scenes witnessed on former occasions. In most of the booths the polling was over at the end of the hour allowed by law, and the aldermen and assessors, relieved from their all but solitary duties, shut up their books, and sent their voting boxes to the council-house, glad to be freed from a task unenlivened by any of the fun that is usually to be met with on election days. The following is a list of the councillors returned :—Bed minster, R. Phippen, Esq.; Bristol, J. G. Shaw, A. Alex ander, Arthur Hare Palmer ;* Clifton, Charles Wait, W. H. G. La ng t on ,* C. W arde, R.N. ;1* District, H. Pritchard;* Redcliffe, C. Hare, T. Powell; St. Augus tine, T. Powell, F. W. Green ; St. James, W. Hera gath ; St. Michael, 0. Coathupe; St. Paul, H. 0. Wills; St. Philip, H. Visger. Those marked thus (*) are new members. Though there was no party feeling in any of the elections, it may be stated as a fact, that the Liberals gain two by the elections, viz., Mr. Palmer and Mr. Langton.—Bristol Gazette. CANTERBURY.—These elections took place on Wed nasday. In Northgate Ward matters were very quiet, the two retiring councillors, Messrs. Holland and Sneller being re-elected. In the other two wards there was some spirit by reason of a split in both parties—in that of the Whigs in respect of Westgate, and in the Con servatives in respect of Dane John Ward. Mr. E. Southee having retired from Westgate, Mr. Chipperfield announced himself for the vacancy—Mr. Walker for re election. Beside these Mr. Avann and Mr. Welby started at. the last moment. And in the Dane John Ward there were four candidates, there being a sere rence between the retiring councillors, Messrs. Sladden and Goodwin, the former taking for a coadjutor Dair. T. W. Collard, and the latter Mr. E. Soutbee. The follow ing is the result:—Dane John Ward: Goodwin, 202; Southee, 188; Sladden, 68; Collard, 56; Westgate Ward: 2 C s h . i pir s er o fi r e th id, gat l e 6 l l; ‘,ar l d V : al i k i e o r lian l2 d B , ; 6; Welby,Sneller, 6 6 5.

I.—A very spirited contest has been carried on in each of the three wards in this borough in the election of town councillors, and this has arisen, not so much from a desire to place any particular political party in power, as to elect men known to be decided op ponents to such an extravagant "and expensive system of drainage and sewage as was attempted to be thrust upon the town nearly two years since by a majority of the then corporation. This is the point upon which all municipal elections have turned since the beginning of 1847, and thus it is we see placarded in different parts of the town, on such occasions, the name of the candi date with his particular qualification stated to be, in bold letters, "No sewage," &c. In Abbey Ward Mr. John Moggs (Liberal), and Mr. Lediard (Conservative), were the oetgoing councillors. Mr. Moggs had been in the council nearly ever since the Municipal Corpora tions Act came into operation, and it is most singular to remark, that he died On the very day on which his ser vice of office expired, he having prcvioudy announced his retirement from public duties. The candi dates in the fieM were Mr. Lediard, Mr. W. Brown (Liberal), Mr. Fall (Liberal), Mr. Haslarn Conrer vativd.) At four o'clock the nwebers stood thus :—Mr. W. Brown 192, Mr. J. Fall 151, Mr. J. Hallam 109, Mr. Lediard 13. Castle Ward—Mr. James L. Farrow and Mr. IL Adams were the retiring members, and up to the close of last week there was no sign of opposition to their re-election, but a third candidate appeared in the person of Mr. Clecy, postmaster, on the anti-sewage interest. The result of the polling is as follows :—Mr. Clacy (Liberal) 162 ; Mr. Adams (Conservative), 92 ; Mr. Farrow (Liberal), 48. Church Ward—A strange re-action has taken place here. Mr. Exall (Liberal), the ppular candidate three years ago, has given great great offence by his advocacy of the s) stem of drainage to which we have already adverted, and he was com pletely deserted by his former friends en that account. Mr. George Cooper, whole term of office ex fired to day, &cline,' b, ing no . ninated again, and two new ear didatee were started ; Mr. John Smith Q taker), and Mr. John ll , ,oper (.3ons , mttive) The 1; B o wing rotes were recoldel ; M. J. Hoo p er, 177 ; Mr. J. Smith' (Li bend), 175 ; M r . NV. Exalt, 70. RocrmsTEß —'l't:e contest for town councillors has been carried on in this city with more than usual vigour. So far as the strength of parties in the corporation is concerned they re.nain the same—three Conservatives for St. Margaret's ward, two fur Sr. Nicholas, and one Liberal for Strood, going out of otliie. ; and the same numbers being again returned. But the Liberals boast of the reduction they have effected in the majority in St. Margaret's ward, sad with a list of claimants ready to place them foremest when another registration shall have been completed. A lamentable feature in the con test has been the debauchery and bribery, which is said to have been carried to a great extent. SALlsuuay.—The whole of the wards in this city were contested. At the close of the poll the numbers were as follow (two to be elected fur each ward):—St. Thomas's Ward: Mr. George Fulferd (0), 99 ; Mr. George Brown (C), 9i; Mr. W. Faucett (L), 89 ; Mr. John Toone (L), 72. St. Edmund's Ward : Mr. William Smith (C), 102 ; Mr. It. Cother (C), 95 ; Mr. N. V. Squarey (L), 81. St. Martin's Ward : Mr. James Hussey (C), 85; Mr. Woodlands (L), 79 ; Mr. B. B. Hole (C), 74. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. I.—The election for councillors took place this day, but little or no interest was taken in the matter. The ward of All Saints having been most successfully contested last year by four influential and persevering gentlemen, the Conservatives offered no opposition in the present instance, and Messrs. Borrett, Sharp, Copeland, and Ellyett were duly returned. The ward of llolyrood returned a Liberal, by a single vote, given in favour of Mr. Brett, who professes independent (though not Conservative) principles. In St. Mary' s Ward three Liberals were returned, viz., Messrs. Lan kester, Purchase, and Degree. The only opposition, in fact, was in the wards of St. Lawrence and St. Michael, where Mr. Hunt and Lefeuvro (Tories) were returned, in lieu of two gentlemen entertaining similar principles. Total gain to the Liberal party, four seats. Wea WICK.—la this borough the Liberals ha ve lsuc ceeded in returning the whole six town councillors, viz., four in St. Mary's Ward, and two in St. Nicho las's Ward. WELLS.—The elections for this city have terminated in the return of four Conservatives, viz., Mr. Willi am Petkins, Mr. Henry Powell, Mr. Charles Barber Taylor, and Mr. Samuel Hobbs. WINCHESTER.—Ward of St. Thomas: Mr. C. Lam pard (Conservative), Mr. Charles Seaguin (Conserva tive). Ward of St. Maurice : Mr. James Forder (Whig), Mr. John Wallis (Whig). Ward of St. John: Mr. Charles Ruby Thomas (Conservative), Mr. W. Kelsey (Whig). KENDAL. East Ward : Mr. John Jowitt Wilson (Liberal), Mr. Charles Lloyd Braithwaite (Liberal). West Ward: Mr. John Fisher, jun. (Liberal), Mr. Miles Thompson (Tory). North Ward: Mr. Isaac Edmond son (Liberal), Mr. Simon Mashiter (Liberal). All re elected without opposition. VAUXHALL - BRIDGE COMPANY. A half-yearly court of the proprietors of this , com psny was held ye s t er d a y a t t wo o ' c l oc k, a t the George and Vulture, Cornhill; Mr. Parnell in the chair. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, and the minutes of the previous meeting confirmed, Mr. JEFFREY, the clerk, lead the report and accounts. The report stated that the unpaid dividend amounted to 8681. 25., that the company still held 200 shares in the bridge, and Exchequer-bills for 3001. The assessment upon the company for land-tax for the Middlesex half of the bridge, had recently been increased from 5001. to 5,108/. An appeal had been made against this excessive increase, without admitting the liability of the bridge, in the hope that such a reduction would be made as would render it better for the Bridge Company to redeem the land-tax altogether than to carry the matter into:a court of law. The Commissioners had refused to listen to that appeal; the directors, therefore, intended with the approval of the shareholders, to resist this rate altogether in a court of law. Again, they had been com pelled to pay an advanced assessment for the relief of the poor of St. John's, Westminster, amounting to 2251., and an appeal lodged against the justice of the impost. The opening of the South-Western Extension to Water loo-bridge had reduced the amount of tolls, which the directors believed was principally occasioned by the public not having the facility of using the station at Vauxhall-bridge, only two of the down trains to Southampton, Gosport, and Portsmouth, being allowed to stop there. The directors had applied to the company upon the mutter, but without success. The tolls for the six months, ending the 31st of October, amounted to 5,4921. 6s. 7d. (those received during the corresponding period of last year having been 7,0011.), showing a decrease of 1,5081. 13s. sd. The receipts on account of the pier for the same period were 1971. 19s. 6d., and the expenditure 1231. 6s. lid., show ing a profit of 74/. 12s. 7d. The report concluded by recommending a dividend for the half-year of fourteen shillings per share. Mr. FEARON inquired what the revenue yielded by the pier for the whole year was? The CHAIRMAN replied that the revenue for the first half of the year had been 2781. 10s., and for the second half, terminating with October, 1974 19s. 6d. Mr. FEARON—Making the total receipts for the year 4761. 9s. 6d. The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative. It would seem, therefore, that the pier has proved more profitable than the directors or the company generally gave the pier or Mr. Fearon, its originator, the credit of being likely to bring about at the outset. It was opened on the Ist of August, 1845, and produced by the 31st of October, 1846, when it was reported to be a loss, a nett revenue of 211/. 1 ls. 5d., or 11i per cent. profit. From the Ist of November, 1846, to the 31st of October, 1847, the receipts were 500/. 18s. 9d., or 34 per cent. profit on the outlay (1,4731. 2s. 10d.), and in the last year it had yielded 2741. 19s. 5d., or near 20 per cent. nett profit, notwithstanding it had been shut up three months, pending a dispute with the Boat Com pany as to the rate of dues, which, like the sewer rate, the directors ultimately conceded. Shutting it up ill accorded with the loud professions of public accommo dation by the directors. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a shareholder, then pro ceeded to observe that he was before the Commissioners of Sewers three-quarters of an hour, but though he did his best to convince them of the injustice of the rate, he had failed, as they had made au order for its payment. Ile endeavoured to make them understand that the bridge obtained no break from the sewerage, rather an injury—that they (the Commissioners) had no control over the river, and that the bridge ought not to be rated. It was right he should state that the chairman was not a lawyer, as would naturally be supposed, but a clergyman. One of the Commissioners said, " I sup pose the Bridge will pay, if we make an order;" and an order .accordingly was made. The off-hand way in which the gentlemen composing the board decided points of law, which would occupy the judges weeks or months in consideration, was most extraordinary and unjustifi able. Then they had appealed against the increase of the land-tax, from 5001. to 5,108/ ; but, as they might suppose, with no better success, as an order had been made for them to pay. They intended to resist this ex travagant claim to the utmost ; he believed they had an excellent case, and no doubt they should succeed. With respect to the recent extension of the South-Western to Waterloo-bridge, doubtless they did not feel surprised at anything that railway companies might do, but really they could not fail to be astonished at the great want of faith evinced by the South-Western. They stated in Parliament, when they obtained the Extension that whenlhe trains ran to Waterloo-bridge the public would have the same accommodation as heretofore at the station and pier at Nine Elms. Now, they had vio lated their promise altogether, since they only allowed the two trains mentioned in the report to stop, and even then at most inconvenient hours. The public had remon strated, and the Bridge Company had backed them, because they lost iu the same ratio as the public were inconvenienced. As the trains were not stopped at Vauxhall, they were diiren across the viaduct at so great a speed that the noise, from some cause or other, resembled thunder. Some serious accident, from the horses below taking fright, must inevitably ensue. If so, he trusted the inhabitants would testify to the rapid speed of the trains at that part of the line. The dan ger had been pointed out to the Railway Company, but they heeded it Dot, being utterly regardless of the safety of the public. The Bridge Company had also called the attention of the Commissioners of Railways to the matter, who stated in reply that it did not quite come under their jurisdiction. That day they had pre pared another memorial. Then the Railway Company had increased the fare to Southampton from 14s. to 18s. Two trains, however, started at once—one got in several hours before the other, so that parties who did not wish to lose half a day were obliged to pay the additional fare, namely, Es. He would willingly subscribe his quota to bring in a Bill to compel railway companies to act with greater justice. Mr. Fikuoti said he could not but believe that the directors of the Bridge Company had given the direc tors of the South-Western much provocation, for he could not forget the conduct of the former with respect to the proposal made to them for carrying the wires of the electric telegraph over the bridge to the Palace, and thence eastward. A rent of 30/. a year (of the present estimated worth of 9001.) was offered for this accommo dation; but the directors refused to accede to it unless they received 501 What was the result? The wires were carried acro .s Waterloo-bridge, and ;acrimony to. wards them on the part of the South-Western was the natural consequence of such conduct. Hence, perhaps, the non-stoppage of the trains, and the absence of a de sire to accommodate them in any way. He had the strongest reason for believing that the Bridge Company had thus, and in other ways, generated most unfavour able feelings towards it. __ _ The CHAIRMAN said, considering the bridge had not returned more than two per cent. to the proprietors, the directors considered that 501. was not too much to pay for the privilege referred to, inasmuch as it would have cost a great deal more to have obtained the same end by any other means. Ho thought it light to state that he had just been informed that none of the long trains stopped at the Vauxhall station, but that some of the intermediate traffic did. Mr. CHALMERS considered that the company would experience considerable loss by parties not liking to drive under the viaduct, and pass over the bridge, in consequence of fearing their horses would take fright. The memorial to the Railway Commisibioners W4S then read and approved, the reports and accounts received and ordered to be entered on the minutes, the dividend re commended declared, and made payable on and after the Ist of December; the proceedings with respect to the poor-rate, the land-tax, and the terms on which a lease with the Western Gas Company for the passage of their pipes across the bridge, left to the decision of the com mittee; and a vote of thanks having been accorded to the Chairmen, the meeting separated.

PROPOSED VISIT OF THE FRENCH NATIONAL GUARD TO MANCHESTER.—it is stated that several of this gallant body of moo (about 1,400, principally from Paris), who have been in London during the last few days, made many inquiries about Manchester, its people, its factories, and above all, the Free-trade-hall, which they expressed a strong desire to see. A deputation waited on the London and North-Western Railway Company, in order to ascertain upon what terms a number of the National Guard could be taken to and re turned from Manchester. Moderate terms were offered, and it is anticipated that a detachment of the 3d Legion, which is about to visit England in a short time will spend a day or two in this city.—Manchester Guardian.

The following is a copy of a requisition most nume rously signed by the electors of this borough, to the Hon. E. H. Stanley, the eldest son of Lord Stanley, requesting him to come forward as a candidate to represent that place in Parliament, in the place of the late Lord George Bentinck. " October 25, 1848. "We, the undersigned electors of the borough of King's Lynn, do hereby earnestly request that you will allow yourself to be put in nomination as a candidate to supply the vacancy in the representation of this borough caused by the lamented death of the late Lord George Bentinck, and in the event of your acceding to this re quest, we pledge ourselves t) give you our most strenuous support, with a view to secure your return to Parliament. " To the Hon. Edward Henry Stanley." To this requisition the names e f 187 electors for the borough are annexed. The following communication from Lord Stanley has been addeessed t. the gentlemen who signed this paper:— " St. James's square, October 30, 1848. " Gentlemen—l regret that, not having returned to London until late on Saturday evening, I was unable, by return of post, to express my grateful sense of the high compliment you have been pleased to pay my son, in for warding to him, through me, a requisition signed by nearly two hundred electors, inviting him to become a candidate for the seat unhappily vacant by the untimely death of your late admirable rcplcsentative, and my dear and valued friend, Lord George Bentinck. The satisfaction which I naturally feel that one bearing my name, and in whom I take so deep an interest, should be thought by you worthy of so high an honour, is greatly increased by perceiving that the requisition is signed indiscriminately by electors of all shades of opinion in that great Conservative party which recent events have unfortunately divided, but whose harmony and combined action, as far as may be found practicable, appear to me to be all important to the best interests of the country. You are aware that my son is absent on a distant tour, which will make it impossible for me to communicate with him on the subject, or for him person ally to pay his respects and explain his views to the constituency of Lynn ; but while I regret the circum stance on this account, I am sure you will not blame • young man who, with no immediate prospect of being called into public life, seeks to add to his stock of infor mation by making himself personally acquainted with the condition of our North American colonies, and of those great and rising states which are connected with us by so many ties of mutual interest, of common origin, and even of civil and political institutions. Of my son's opinions, so far as he had an opportunity of forming, them, on public affairs, I confidently believe that on all essential points they coincide with mine ; but it would be unjust alike to him and to you were I, in his absence, to bind him by specific pledges, on particular questions which may arise ; and I think I am right in assuming that the constituency of Lynn is too wise, even were he present, to desire so to fetter the judgment of their re presentative. Should you, on further reflection, be sa tisfied to overlook the accident of his absence (which, however, the knowledge of your kind intentions will, I sin persuaded, lead him to curtail as much as possible), and to take him upon trust as the candidate of your selection, I may venture, in his name, gratefully to ac cept the honour you propose to confer en him ; and to promise, on his part, not indeed that he will adequately replace him whom you have lost, but that he will at least endeavour to show his sense of the confidence you repose in him by emulating the sedulous attention to public business, and the anxiety to promote the local interests of his constituents, which eminently distinguished him by whom you were so long and so ably represented. " I have the honour to be, gentlemen, " Your obliged and faithful servant, " STANLEY." THE RAILWAY CONFERENCES. The conferences which have been going on for some time past between the chairmen of the North-Western, the Great Western, and the South-Western Railway Companies, have, we are glad to hear, been brought to a successful termination. The conclusion which has been come to is, that it is desirable, with reference both to the interests of the public and of the shareholders, to put an end to the wasteful expenditure which the com petition of these companies has led them to incur, by a union. With a view to this object, we have reason to believe that notice will be given, on an early day, of an application to be made to Parliament, in the course of the next session, for a Bill to sanction an amalgamation of the three companies, provided that, after a mutual in..' vestigation of the affairs and prospects of each, the direc tors are enabled to agree upon an estimate of the relative value of the several lines. The scope of the Bill will, we understand, be permissive merely; and it will, there fore, rest with the shareholders to determine whether they choosa to avail themselves of i:s provisions or not. Accordingly the first step taken will be, to con vene a general meeting of the proprietors of each com pany, with a view to lay before them the draft of the Bill, and to give them an opportunity of expressing their opinions thereon. And as we believe that the share holders of each have, in general, but a limited know ledge of the actual state and prospects of the other two it will clearly be the duty of the directors to allow atnpl time and information for enabling them to form a cor rect judgment on a matter of such deep importance to their respective interests. To the shareholders the pro posed arrangement presents obvious advantages, by enabling the companies to curtail or postpone all un necessary expenditure; and in these beneficial results, as well as in those which may b e expecte d to arise im mediately from a diminution of the pressure on the money market, and ultimately from the introduction of a uniform system of management, the public also will have its share. On the other hand, the prospective amalgamation of three such powerful companies is not altogether without danger to the interests of the public; but we are satisfied that, if the Bill should eventually come before Parliament, due precautions will be taken to prevent those interests from being prejudiced by an arrangement which, properly guarded, must prove con ducive to the general benefit. BOMBAT OCT. 3.—The Bight Honourable the Governor, Lord Falkland, was expected to have quitted the Deccan yesterday ,'and to have been here to-morrow, but the arrangement seems for the present to have been broken through; he may be expected at the Presidency in the course of the week. Captain Harrison, of her Majesty's 10th Hussars, has resigned his appointment as Aide-de-Camp, and will, it is said, bo succeeded by Captain Murray, of the same corps. Lieutenant Henry, late Aide-de-Camp to the Governor, goes as extra Aide de. Camp to General Auchmuty; he will be succeeded by Captain Fyfo, of the 22d Native Infantry. Captain M‘Mabon, who after proceeding to join his corps (the 14th Dragoons, now at Lahore) was permitted to return to his appointment as Aide•de-Camp, is now with her Majesty's 32d before Moultan. The Commander-in- Chief and General Auchmuty were expected at the Presidency on Friday or Saturday; they continue in the Deccan; no time appears at present to be fixed for their departure for Bombay. Major Brooke, military secre tary to his Excellency Sir W. Cotton, has cbtained the rank of lieutenant-colonel by the death of Colonel Pattoun, and now commands her Majest)'s 32d; h is not supposed that he will resume hie appointment on the Commander-in-Chief's staff. Doctors Patch and Burns have taken their seats i❑ the Medical Board as second and third members respectively. We mentioned in our issue of the 15th ultimo, that we had been assured that the report that Colonel Woodburn proposed joining ti• e invalids was wholly without foundation; we have since heard that nothing could snore have astonished the gal. lent officer himself than the rumour in question, scarcely anything in the world being farther from his thoughts. It has, we learn, been determined to have a monument erected by public subscription to the memory of the late Colonel Sutherland; and there are assuredly few who more deserve or leas require a memorial to be remem bered by. - - OU RT diate&r, '~ ~ZL wit the ed to ring 1 the E ions pro- ment pre le of to be sub- fully the Igal, erect re ty, . for 'rom !fore nur it, man t, in nes- ing aid L of lon 4
