The London Committee of this undertaking having ascertained • front the various estimates furnished them that one half of the pro . Med capital of 200,000/. will amply suffice for its present prosecu tion —lt was resolved, in pursuance of the power for that purpose contained in the bye-laws of the Company, to limit the issue of shares accordingly. 111 pursuance of that resolution 100,000 shares only have been al lotted, sad the corresponding amount of capital has been fully Paid up. The remaining shares will not be issued until after the General Meeting of Shareholders in the month of June, 1853 ; should the extended operations of the Company then render it desirable to raise additional capital, such further issue of shares will be made as may be resolved upon by the shareholders, who will then be entitled to the option of taking at par value a proportionate number of such issue to that which they may hold at that period. An agent of the Company will leave England for Sydney, on Thursday next, the 30th inst., by the vessel called The Roman Em peror, and it is anticipated that the complete staff, with the neces. nary machinery, will be ready to sail by the end of the month of • February.

A fire, which involved the destruction of a cotton mill, and the loss of upwards of 20,0001., occurred on Saturday eteaing at Manchester. The mill was an old structure, of conaiderable extent, measuring about 60 yards in length, and 12 in breadth, and running to the height of eight storeys and an attic. It was situate in the bottom of Dickenson -street. St. Peter's-square, and was in the occupation of Mr. James Frost, and others, trading under the title of Thomas Ogden and Sons, a firm name long attached to the mill. They employed between 430 and 500 hands in the manufacture of time yarns mainly, and some small quantity of low numbers, and these workpeople will now be out of employ. The cause of the tire was accidental, or at leak it is said to be so. A piece of machinery in No. 3 room, driving the first " wheel-house," or pair of "mules," was not working well, and Mr. Frost in the afternoon gave instructions to a mecharoc to look to it. The man found that the repairs would take some time, and he was obliged to remain at work after all the hands had quitted the mill, at about four o'clock. Darkness comb% upon him before he had finished, h e ca ll e d the watchman o f the mill to procure a light, and while they were Ltill at work the watchman let the light drop, and the fkme communicating with the cotton about, ho and the mechanic had scarcely time to get out of the room betore it was in a blaze. 'There is, however, some doubt about this account, because mills are cleared out on the Seteiday afternonre and therefore there was no -waste—the material which plays so important a part in - the-rapid combustien of cotton mills—lying about; and besides that, tho light is said to have been in a covered lamp. The mill was old, and the floors being full of oil and dirt, a fire once kindled it spread with an amazing facility. A gentleman who was passing down Brook street saw a glimmer of the fire in the room, and made his way to the place, but before he had traversed the half mile which lay between him and the entrance the fire was bursting out of the windows on the opposite side. This was about ten minutes to six o'clock. An alarm was instantly given, and by six o'clock a fi re engine was on the spot, the rest of the Manchester brigade (in all ten engines), two en gines Artillery (manned by the military), f o ll ow i ng quickly; th r e t r i e lle w r a y s an excellent supply of water; a branch of the Rochdale Canal running on one side of the mill, and the Manchester Co rporation thew hoe Wa te re the hWe engines orks affordin g were quantity, near ly a therefore, pious p brought into play directly,ahnidgh t tressure plugs.

ATTEMPTED MATRICIDE. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a degree of ex citement prevailed in the vicinity of llorst.monger-lane Gaol, arising from a deliberate and determined attempt of a son to murder his mother. A man named John Iliff, about thirty-five years of age, and who was for o lodgers.rs In eng e r - Lo for merly assistant - beadle of T rinit y Church, Trini ty A quare, S ou thwark, has for many y ears resided with his mother in the u Singlepper part Cot t a g o e t , 13 terday, at the time referred , . ho and his mother, Eliza beth Iliff, who is seventy - two yea rs of a g e, ware sittin g in one of the parlours, when he suddenly rose up, and his the ru n house k ie c i r n r g a e le c t ' to I I mother supposed, from his putting his left arm round her neck, he was going to kiss her; but sho soon found ho had some instrument in his other hand, with which ho was cutting at her throat. She screamed out, and fell to the ground, where one of the lodgers, upon going down stairs, found her lying in a pool of blood. As soon as possible she gave an alarm; but Iliff had run out of the house, towards the gaol, crying murder, and followed by a crowd of people. He gave a tremendous double knock at the prison gate, and when it was opened he exclaimed in a wild manner, " Take me in, I have done it, I have murdered my mother." Sergeant Branford, of the M division, was Passing by at the time, and took him to the station him th hi s u b F ah , n: ? g e ,e, r d e l; a e avne s i a i i on d tthe t enordtehadei similar p rf c er xtauprir,oenswsgihowonhsa.ilsekhelde want locked up in one of the cells, and a man placed with him to prevent any attempt on his own life.

Dear Sir,—The Executive Council met hero yester day, and were in full conference from eleven till four o'clock. Much discussion arose aseo the time when and the conditions upon which, a termination should be put to the present unhappy state of estrangement betwixt employers and employed, and sub-committee was ap pointedon this subjeet for conside ration by the association.- - a to mature proposal, " There was a unanimous expre3,i,,a of opinion that that the cessation of , working had been productive of the most salutary effects, in bringing the artisans to a proper and more considerate - h tense of their re l a tion to versions from the delusions of the Amalgamated So . their em ployers, .ankth at. every day produced fie sh gusty.- " But the step of simultaneou s closing has bean one con ponsibility„and it i s felt that any hasty re sumption of work will deetroy , th e w h o l e ut ili ty , o f t h e powerful effect which has bee% already produced upon Of grave res the the workmeii by - and unanimity of the masters.

Should anything material transpire for your consideration, I shall take care to keep you fully "advised. " It is universally felt that it would have been better never to have closed at all than to open premathrely, to the effect of merely enabling the `e x mllgarnated Society to ride over their present difficulty, and when ,vigilance is lulled and the establishments opened to permit the Executive Council to proceed with their machinations, and to &lin the time when masters are least prepared fur resistance to put their insidious practices into ope ration. "..On the 2d of January instant, Mr. Newton, , the ringleader of this movement, observed, ' That the men took no notice and felt no excitement on the subject of a combination among the employers, knowing that they did not possess the elements of c ombination amongst ,them; but that there was such an inordinate love of self that, if after having pledged themselves to one an other to close their works, they yet would, on the pro spect of the slightest pecuniary advantage to be gained, break faith with one another, and throw their pledges and combinations to the winds. The employers as a body cared not ono pin for individual honour, or their plighted word, but had sacrified the one and broken the other over and over again.' Upon this calumny the men have built their hopes, and now they find that the mas- ters have honourably stood by each other the workmen lire beginning to waver, to quarrel amongst themselves, , and to seek for reconciliation on the terms of the em ployers. _ will which ease h a v t e h e latt " A little firmness, perseverance , an d sacrifice now, by maintai n i ng t h e present att i tu d e of inacti on until some co nsiderable body of the artisans express satisfact or ily and unmistakeably th e ir condemnation of the pr act i ces drivener, and h themasters to their present course, t permanently, f rom t h e future of th e i nto l era bl e di c t a tion to which they h ave been subjected, and which was in rapid course of leading to further and more peremptory measures of tyranny and exaction on the part of the employed. Where there is a will, t h e men will find a way of disavowing publicly the practices , adopted in their name. All the meetings and speeches of the workmen have been on one side, and breathe a spirit of triumph and defiance: Until the steady and well disposed call their meetings, and defy' the Amalgamated Society; the evil is not cured; and the employers must maintain a position which they have adopted with serious deliberation, and will soon be justi fied by their succeiS, if they will on.y de serve it by a patient continuance in joint inaction, 'and upholding the goodsfaith they have hitherto kept with each other. " I am, dear sir, your most obedient servant, ," SIDNEY SMITIC The reading of this circular caused some little merri ment amongst the members of the council, and the gene ral opinion expressed upon the subject of its contents was that the employers evidsutly regretted the conse quences of the step Whieh they had taken, and found ttipmselvos iu a position from which they foresaw some difficulty in extricating themselves. Satisfaction was generally expressed at the fact of having obtained pos session of an important document, intended to bo kept secret; the more especially its the public were kept quite in ignorance of the proceedid floyers' gs c the mittee. Tie council wore then occupied by arrangements with regard to the aggregate meeting of the iron trades, to be he held this day at St. Martin's Hall, and to which it was resolved that the following resolutions should be submitted:— " 1.

The (From the Tim es .) month is drawing t o a close.. For more th an a fortnight h , ve the operative engineers new refused the conditions of their employers, and in 50 or 60 of the largest establishments in this kingdom the peremptory mdinance is observed, that " the engine should be stopped and no prodtictivo work ea -ried on." The "Executive Couficil" of the Arnal a e te lle d L d Society declines to withdraw the notices which (I L O anti as the men profess to uphold the stoppage, there in their decision we can only conclude that they are resolved the pro secution of the schemes which th6' Ce u ‘2l commenced, and which i n t h e society's rert thus ti comber last they so plainly acknowledge. What pur poses that) schemes compr e h en d, and to what objet they are directed, we hai e e x pl a i ne d so repeatedly, ande demonstrated by such unanswerable vouchers, that on this point no more doubts can be sincerely entertained. However reasonable or pr.ictieal bad been the demand s in themselves, it would have been absolutely ruinous to the masters to have yields(' to a summons so made, so quali fied, and so aimed; but, in point of fact, even those very requisitions which were selected by Mr. Newton for the commencemen', of operations are indefensible even in that view in which ho hypocritically endeavours to place them. The Council demanded by formal notice served up on employers the summary abolition of "overtime?' Omitting, now, for a moment, the true signification of this "ad vice" in the mouths of Mr. Newton and his colleagues, we will state the whole question on its own merits for the information of readers, who, often as they have heat(' the expression, are, perhaps, not yet folly apprised of its meaning. The ordinary working thy of au engineer is considered to be ten hours—any time above this ex pended iu his master's service being 'overtime." Oc casionally the employers say to their men, "We have some work in hand which must be delivered by a certain period, and which cannot be finished unless you make more than ten hours in your day. Instead of leaving, therefore, at six or seven o'clock, you must stop till eight or nine." 'This is the practice of "overtime' which the masters have been summoned by the Amal gamated Society to abolish immediately. In Consider ing its bearings, the realer 'mkt first understand that this overtime is not only paid for, but paid for at a premium. Thus, for instauce, if an operative works two hours of an evening overtime, he got s no t on l y ad ditional wages for these two hours, but they are reckoned to him as two hours and a quarter, showing a bonus or gratuity in his favour of more than 12 per cent. As the employer, therefore, must evidently be a loser by the particular bargain which charges him extra wages for what must, at the close of a hard day's work, be infe rior labour, why, it will be asked, is the practice adopted? The men allege that the custom overtasks the energies of those employed, and, by such an undue con centration of work, keeps other workmen in proportion out of employment. They say that some are surfeited, while others are starving, and in the assumed interest, therefore, of the whole body, they demand the discon tinuance of the practice altogether. On the side of the masters the question• takes this form:—Tlsey say that the business of engineering is ex ceedingly irregular and peculiar. They cannot, like other manufacturers, prepare a general stock against a general demand. Their whole occupation is an aggre gate of particular orders, specially given, and in the majority of instances requiring execution and delivery by an appointed time. To perform these orders, if they happen to exceed the ordinary strength of the factory, they must either employ more hands or work their hands extra time. The former of these al ternatives is that now dictated by the " Council," but the masters make a very reasonable statement in reply. They observe that such an increase of hands requires an extension of premises, and that though the men might be dismissed when the emergency had passed, the build ings would still remain, entailing outlay and loss. No manufacturer can be expected to regulate his premises by exceptional instead of average occasions. Even in the interest of the men, too, they point out that the " overtime" system is the safest. Suppose, for instance, an employer keeping 250 workmen to receive an order exceeding by one-fifth the strength of his establishment. Hs has evidently the option either of employing the men already in his pay 0n..-iifch overtime, or of increasing their number by one fifth more hands. In the the former ease he works them two additional hours, but in the latter he would be introducing fifty fresh men into the shop and neighbourhood, -who must be thrown upon the labour market to glut and depreciate it when the occasion for their ser vices had passed. Ile argues, therefore, that it is better for the men to execute. if possible, all the work by the regular strength of the shop than to adopt a system which peestunee a body of unemployed operatives, always floating loosely in the market, to be ready against emergencies which may not occur three times in the year. Moreover, it is alleged, in defence of the practice, that it is sometimes absolutely indispensable, inasmuch as only a e,iven nutntier of min can find standing room at the work in hand, so that, if time is an otlscr, tc must be made up by the extra labour of individuals. So far, it must be allowed that these arguments are good, and that they do in plain trail convict the demand of the " Council" for the absolute and summary abolition of a practice often necessary, and rarely without some jUsti fication. On the other hand, however, it is equally cle a r that the employers o f l a b our are under temptations to pervert the expedient by carrying it systematically to excess for the sake of their own gains. It is quite conceivable that a master may maintain premises too small for his av erage business in reliance on the re source provided by working his establishment overtime, and that the men may be thus too constantly taxed for his benefit or convenience. This, indeed, appears, at first sight, to bo the view taken by the remonstrants, for they protest simply against "systematic overtime." When, however, we refer to the explanation given by the " Cduncil" itself, we discover at once that the demand has no such reasonable purport. Mr. Newton and his accomplices maintain, we believe, that in no case' shall' overtime be tolerated except on occasion of a break down, and for the aid rendered to the employer in these straits double. they genero us l y st i pulate that he should pay The misfortune of the whole case, as Lord Cran worth sagaciously observed, is that, practically speaking, neither masters nor men are left to make their own bar gains. If perfect liberty of action could be secured on both sides there would be no ground left for dispute. Every reader knows from his own experience that a car penter or a bricklayer, or a workman of any sort, elan always be found but too glad to make 71 days in his week by working two hours extra per day.' Tho chance would be considered, as in truth it is in the case before us, a most fortunate , privilege by f our men out of five, What the " Council' profess to complain of is that'tliere is no option given, but that a man is forced, at his seas: ter's discretion, either to work overtime or to leave his work altogether. This is certainly hard. But, on the other hand, it is perfectly evident that Mr. W. Newton and his " pickets" would never leave a man at liberty to accept the chance before him. It is because they would never permit him to say " Yee" that the masters forbid him to say " No." If this destruative control were abo lished, a workman with few calls upon him, with an in cline:ion for self-improvement, or a liking for leisure, might decline overtime work, while it is unquestionable that others with large families, long foresight, or untiring habits of industry, such as we constantly meet with, would be ready and willing to undertake the duty. But this is the intolerable point of the society's demand. They say, not that any man ought to be free to decline such work, but that no man shall be free:to tsi it; and they would prevent John Brown and his employer from working comfortably together b, - .cause John Smith wants a share in the transaction. We have, then, put the overtime question in a plain light, though, as the reader is aware, no such favoura ble view can be taken of it iii the demands of the " Ex ecutive Council." Their object is not to . spur° work men, but to distribute work; not to modify the dealings between employer and employed, but to force other parties into employment against the desire of both. In this it concerned the most vital interests of trade that they should be resisted to the uttermost, but we should rejoice to see that the consequent embarrassments were confined to those immediately culpable. Is it absolutely indispensable that all works should be stopped? Cannot the masters open their establishments to those avowing themselvea free to sell their own labour on their own terms? Cannot unskilled labourers and non society men bo taken again into employment? Wo think such an overture might be made, and if it were so, instead of offering the outstanding operatives our own advice, we would refer them to that given by " A Prac tical Mechanic," whose letter wo publish this morning. They will there see, as in a looking-glass, the results in which a strike like th e i r own ac t ua lly en d s .

Tim STEAM IZESERVE.—We are gild to hear that the steam reserve squadrons aro being strengthened us the steamers are advanced in their new fittings and ropier.. The newly-launehed ships that aro in course of equipment will give us a greater number of advanced eteemere of the first class, and in a very short time wo shall h ero a dozen at each of the three principal home Porte, Sheerness, Portsmouth, and Devonport, ready stored end coaled for immediate service. These thirty sirs steamers, as wo have already stated, will be under the charge of the captains of the steam guard-ships, end will, of course, be kept efficient by constant exercise, perhap s in running up and down the coast, when they will be manned from. the depot-ship. It would be a great advantage, hawever, if we bad 50 0 b lue j ackets also in "reserv e " at each of the ports. We have already stated that the Britannia 120, is reported to b e ready for sea on the 7th of next Mouth. The appointment which we announced last we, It of Mr. Cranipton, son of Sir P. Crampton, Bart., Surg on- Geneeal in Ireland, to be our new Miuister at Waesh inaton, vice Sir IL L. Bulwer, Bart., who is about to represent this country at Florence, has been confirmed. RESIGNATION OF ANOTHER OFFICE R OP DEVONPORT ORDINARY.-:-The retirement of Comuaander Al•Cor mick will, it is said, be followed by that of Lieutenant Cull, who, like the preceding officer, feels he cannot longer serve with satisfaction under the system of disci= pline pursued towards his officers by Captain Nie s . It may be all very well for Lieutenant Cull to re sign an appointment; he is a gentleman of em i t., derable private. propertya independent of ,his dense . , mission, and a magistrate for the county of Devon; but all officers of his rank are not so for tunately situated, and to many a man the resignation of such an appointment would be impossible, without for ever destroying his prospects in the service. It is, therefore, 7 ather to be wished that Lieutenant Cull had at once called upon the Admiralty for an inquiry into the circumstances which have induced him to surrender his appointment, in order that the public might be put in possession of the facts, whether such conduct as that complained of by Lieut. Cull meets with the approba tion of their Lordships. As a precautionary measure, it is to be presumed the commodore has ordered the Thisbe (the commander's ship) to b© removed to the t o p of the harbour, about three miles from the St. George, Captain Nias's ship. Captain William Ramsay (1838), who has been ap pointed to commandl the hlegicienne, 16, steam-sloop, Devonport, as superintendent of the reserve squadron at that port, has served afl sit about twenty-seve n years. Ho is the youngest surviving ion of Sir A. Ramsay, Bart. He entered the navy August, 1809, was neidehip man of the Eagle, 50, at the capture of Fiume Trieste, &a, and wa s ma d e li eutenant 1321. Ile was lieutenant of the Albion, 74, at Navarino; and as first lieutenant of the Dryad, 42, commanded the Blackjoke, tender, mounting .1 pivot 18-pounder and a carronade, with 44 ofiflers and men, fell in with, in 1831, and after a long action, boarded, and carried the Spanish slaver brig Marinnerito, mounting 5 18 pounders, with 77 officers and men, in complete man-of-war order. Mr. Ramsay was himself severely wounded, and be had one man killed and six wounded. The slaver had 15:killed or drowned, and four desperately wounded. He was pro moted for this action, and subsequently commanded the Dee, steam-vessel, in the West ladies, for three years. Ile attained his present rank in 1838, and commanded that flee steam-frigate Terriblo, from December, 1845, to 1849. Captain the Hon. SwynietaT. Carnegie (1845), whobas been appointed to the Horatio, 22, screw-frigate, Sheer ness, as superintendent of the steam reserve at that port, is grandson of the Earl of Northosk, who died admiral of the white, and sots of the seventh Earl of Northosk, who was third in command at Trafalgar. Ho entered the navy in 1826, and was promoted in 1832. As a lieute nant ho served in the Castor and North Star, on the coast of Spain, during the civil war. He was made a com mander in 1838, and commanded the Orestes, 18, and for a short time the Devastation, steam-sloop; was a Lord of the Treasury for a few months after his last promo tion in 1845. Ile was M.P. for Stafford. Commander G. Skipwith (1842), who, as we an nounced last week, has been appointed to command the Conflict, 8, iierers-sloop, Brazils, vice Drake, invalided, is fourth son of Si r G rey Skipwith, Bart. He entered the Naval College in 1823, embarked in 1825, passed his examination in 1830, and was promoted ire 1834. A 5 a lieutenant he served in the Chilt4ers, 16, Rodney, 92, and Premi x , steam-slo o p ; an d then as second of Sir W. Parker's flag -ship Cornwallis, 72, in China, where he assisted ut the taking of Chapoo, 1K oosung, Shanghai, and Chin-Kiang-Foe, and was present at the signing of the treaty. Was promoted in 1812, and for three years commanded the Hydra, steam-sloop, on the coast of Braze. Lieut. Riggo (1838), of the steam-reserve, as well as Lieut. St evens, has been appointed to the Magiciefelle, steam guard-ship. C aptain Ramsay. Lieut. Stevens, having served as first of a 50-gun frigate, as well as in several other ships, it is anticipated his appointment to the Magicience, in which, from his seniority, .he must servo as second., lieutenant, is only a temporary one, and that the Admiralty will soon find some other em ployment more in accordance with his past services.
