OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVER- HAMPTON. The half yearly meeting of the shareholders bf this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Contain Rushout, M.P., in the chair. '.l meeting x as ono of consid e rable importance, as the directors had to su b m i t to t h e cons id era ti on of the proprietors the p o li cy which has induced the board to project and promote the extension line from Oxford to tiruntFortl, and thug gi ro th e O x f o rd, Worcester, and Wtiverhanrron a London terminus at the Waterloo ststion of th e South-Western Railway, and render, should the Bill before Parliament pass, the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton line independent both of the London and North-Western and Great Western Compqnie s . There was considerable discussion at the meeting, and much of a per s onal c h a racter, but nearly the whole of the chdirm an ' s s pe ec h, as welt as almost all the impor tant remarks of the various speakers, are to bo found in the report of the directors, which,wo subjoin. The new matter that was, introduced will be found noticed below. The folloiving are the material portions of the directors' report:— " The proprietors will, see by the accounts appended, that the "expenditure (hiring the half-year ending the 31st*Deconiber, 1851, wa5 . .292,0001, and that the total outlay hag been 2,112,0001. The expenditdre is riow proceeding at the same rate of 50,000/. a month; a very large: proportion of the pay ments belie for the works' between Tipton and Wolver cot, the portion of the line in active progress. " The directors intend very shortly to complete the purchase of land between Tipton, Wolverhampton, and the London and North-Western Rail Way at Show-hill, and so soon as by possession of such lands the con tractors'e44 act upon that part of the lino efficiently, they will proceed with vigour towards its construction. " The monthly expenditure will theta be about 75,000/.. " The directors propose to provide the funds for this outlay by issuing the residue of the preference shares created on the 14th January, 1851—by calling up the 5/. per share yet remaining to be paid upon the prefer ence shares already issued, and by borrowing 283,3331. under the company's Acts of 1848. " The moneys which.will be provided by these means will, as your directors believe, be sufficient for the com pletion of the line from Wolvercot through Wolver hampton to the Landon and North- Western Railway at Show-hill. " These arrangements enable the board to state with confidence that the lino will be completed and opened for traffic at about the following periods:— " The loop line from the Midland Railway at Stoke, through Droitwich to Worcester, is arranged to be this day opened. " The line from Stourbridge to Droitwich, and from Abbots wood to Evesham, shortly after Lady-day next. " The line from Stourbridge to Tipton in Oct. next. " The line from Evesham to Wolvercot in Dec. next. " And the' line from Tipton to Wolverhampton and Show-hill about Midsummer, 1853. " Your directors propose to work the portions of rail way (othei than the Loop, which will at present be worked exclusively by the Midland Company), as they severally are completed, and they End that advantageous arrangements can be made 'with third parties to provide the requisite working stock. " The foregoing statement will make it obvious to the proprietors that the time is at hand when the future po sition of this undertaking must be determined; and that it is necessary to decide— " Whether the line shall be worked in connexion with the Great Westerkor Ncrth-Westcrn? or " Whether it shall be independent of either? " Now, with respect to these questions, involving al ternatives of extreme importance to th© proprietors, it must be borne in mind— _ _ " 1. That the proprietors refused, in October last, the only arrangements which the Great Western Railway Company were prepared to make; and " 2. That they appointed u committee from their own body for the purpose of considering the position of the company, and of taking all such steps in co-operation with the directors as they should in their judgment deem most expedient for promoting its interests; and that such com mittee should, in"particular; consider and determine the measures most proper in their judgment to be adopted in respect of arrangements with other railway com panies. " Your directors ; had several interviews with that committee, who they found were in favour of an ar rangement a ith the narrow gauge companies, with whose lines they suggested the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway should be connected at Wol vercot, near Oxford, by a junction line, for which the narrow-gauge companies would make application to Par liament this year. • • " Your directors felt that, inasmuch as the distance from Oxford to Paddington by the Great Western route is 63 miles, while the distance from Oxford to Euston square, viii Bletchley, by the North-Western route, is 77 miles, the consent of Parliament could scarcely be ex pected to so serious a diversion of the traffic of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. They, ne vertheless, expressed their readiness to carry into Par liament any Bill which_sheuld be recommended by the, committee, but, be ieg convinced of the necessity of pro tecting the company by other measures, they reserved to themselves the right of presenting to the proprietors and to Parliament such other measures as they might consider better adapted to promote the welfare of the company.. The committee thereupon requested your directors to introduce into Parliament a Bill to lease or sell the Oxford and Worcester line to the London and North-Western, the Midland Compa nies. This Bill the directors propose, in fulfilme nt of their pledge, to submit to the consideration of Par liament. •• , and the Bucks — : - The directors have also introduced— "l. A Bill to amend and enlarge the powers and provisions of the Acts relating to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company; to extend the time for the completion of the works and the purchase of certain lands; to authorise deviations in the line and works, and the construction of certain branches and works, and for other purposes. " Tho ohjects of this Bill were explained to the com mittee of shareholders, and their propriety admitted. "2. A Bill for enabling the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company to extend their line of railway to Oxford; to construct a station there, and a branch to join the Buckinghamshire railways; for altering some of the provisions of the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton Railway Acts relating to the Great Western Railway Company, and for other purposes. "3. A Bill for extending the line of the Oxford, Wor cester, and .Wolverhampton Railway from Wolvercot, near Oxford, to the lino of the London and South-Wes tern Railway Company near Brenttord, in the county of Middlesex, " The measure upon which your directors rely to se cure that indspendsnce which, in their estimation, has be come indispensable, is the proposed extension from Wolvorcot to Brantford, which, parsing close to Oxford, will accommodate in its course the market town of Theme, Prince's Risborough, Wycombe, Beaconsfield, and Uxbridge, and will terminate at Brentford by a junction with the aciunslow lino of the South-Western Railway. This new line will be of groat public utility to a large district of country much in need of railway accommodation; will Materially shorten the distance from Oxford to London; and will give an outlet fur the traffis of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, independent either of the Great Western or of the North-Western Company, securing to it, at the same time, access to the best railway stations, whether for goods or passengers, in the metropolis. " The South-Western ConiPany have, through their board of directors, directed their readiness to receive and accommodate this company's traffic on very reason able terms. . " The proposed line is fifty miles long, the works aro of an average character, and the cost from Oxford to Brentford is. estimated at 570,000/. " The landowners are anxious to see the lino formed; while, by the inhabitants of the several towns which it will approach, its great public utility has been cordially recognised. " From the period when this measure was suggested but one opinion as to its merit has prevailed amongst those members of your board who have been selected by tpe appeal l t to oP thear _As it appeared to them the esessential tproprietorsiai that this h o i s f this measurecom Par liament in the present session, amid rs entered into an was impracticable, your directors P s a h n oUl d be as s l a b : p t proprietors previously to the giving the November . notices Tredwell, your present contractors, to en 1 nt as requirement of Par tame , ar rangement with Messrs.

It have success fullyarsespeedr ttherfo the e h tlies committeeatze shareholders Approved of the policy of the directors. I , was stated,, to the proprietors that the directors had three courses open to theta —se e i n • t , to enter into an al liance with the narrow-gaup s , "ie generally interest—in other words, with the London and North-West Th p e an alliance with the Great Western Company; another, ern Company; and the third, which the directors thought the most advantage ow, to make the line a p es f eot i • ePendent one. With this impression the directors had decided upon applying to Parliament for an Act to authorise the construction of an extension from Oxford to llre atford. The necessity , of the measure was grounded on the all ega ti on that, ter initiating as the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line does at Oxford, the company would always, unless they had a guarantee, be at the mercy l of the company over whose line they should run beenetween' Oxford and London; that a g uarantee h adrefused by the Great Western Company, who had Liways, as it was. stated, had an, eye to their own interests, which, with their possession of the Birmingham and Oxford line, is, and perhaps must be, adverse Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton interest s : and the animus declared of the Great Western executive was to be gla ringly exhibited in the recent applicationto the Vice- Chancellor to restrain the former company from y expend ing any portion of their (the Oxford Worcester; and Wolverhampton Company's) funds in promoting the Oxford and Brentford scheme. It was contended se veral of the directors and by shareholders e he m by etig meeting Oxford e ae yesterday, that both the preamble ofthe t Brentford Bill, and the clause relating to th e raisin g of the capital, clearly pointed oat th 4 th e c nfitmar the ap plication to Parliament, as well as dims -- or' tha nstr ,r -lion of the proposed extension , was to fall upon" I the new capital to be 'created, and which would form a capital distinct from the capital that has been expended, and that" has to be expended, upon the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line proper. That the Great Western executive, in going to the Court of Chancery, had sought the aid of the law to prevent the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton board from doing that which they had never intended to do, and which, in fact, the law would not allow them to do; and the act of the Great Western executive in this instance was not only stated to be one that had occasioned an unnecessary outlay of money, but it was characterised as a glaring assumption assumption that the decision o f the Vice.Ch li - or could stay the legislature from declaring and e'nacting that the proposed Oxford and Brentford scheme should be a public benefit. The directors said that the case which they res t e d the success of the scheme was on the ab solute necessity of the construction of the extension for the salvation of the company, and the fact that the dis trict through which it would puss is destitute of railway accommodation. It was emphatically stated that the extension line would be a remunerative one. The estimated cost was 870,000/.—not an engineer's estimate merely, but the amount for which some of the most responsible contrac tors in the country had offered to complete it. Of this amend 636,4001. had been subscribed, and the necessary parhamentary deposit (63,6401.) had been made. Wi t h respect to the paying character of the extension line, it was urged that, by its construction, the traffic of the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line would resemble that of the Brighton Railway. Th e entire outlay for the completion of the whole railway would .be 4,000,000/. ; for this expenditure they would have 150 miles of railway from Wolverhampton to London; a line " looking down" upon Cheltenham, with which place it would no doubt--if the Oxford and Brentford extension were made—be con nected in two or three years, with on approach to Bir mingham, and carrying heavy traffic between South Staffordshire to the metropolis. The salt from Droit wich, the fire-bricks from Stowbridge, &c., would be through traffic; and one of the speakers predicted that with an independent line into London, and such a ter minus as that of the South-Western Railway at Water loo-bridge, the line—looking at its cost—would be one of the mo s t remunerat i ve i n t he kingdom. The expen sive portion of the old line, viz., from Ti p to n to Wol verhampton, pton, about 50,0001. per mile, was justified on the ground that it is the key to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton traffic, and if the company did not construct it, the Great Western Company undoubtedly would. and Upon the questi on o f th e sufficiency of the capital of the comp an y f or t h e comp l et i on of the Oxford, Wor cester,that the co m p any h a d powers t o raise 1,025,000/, an Wolverhampton lino proper , it was stated amount equal to the completion—exclusive of plant—of the entire works on the whole main line. Mr. Peto, M.P. (the eminent contractor), in answer to a question from the board, said he was quite ready to give the best possible security for the completion of the tine at the estimated cost. During the discussion it was stated that tre r diiectors had resolved not to listen to any overtures from the Great Western Company, and that it was determined, - - if possible, to secure an independent line; and that the directors were likewise resolved, if the Shrewsbury and Birmingham alliance with the Great Western Company were sanctioned by Parliament, to ask the Le for their (the Oxford, Worce ster, and Wolver hampton Company's) fair share of th e Liverpool and Norther n traffic. gisluture The report of the directors and that of the share holders' committee were received and adopted; the re tiring directors were re elect", M r , C ohen e l ec ted au ditor, and the meeting un an i mously approved o f the Bill for the proposed ext ens i on line from Oxfo: d to Brentford, and of raising th e capital in the mode pro posed by it. LONDON AND BLA.CKWALL. The ordinary half-yearly m eet i ng was held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. Dadell, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. T here ' was a very fall attenclaano of proprietore. The advertisement conveningthe baying meeting been read, slid the usual preliminaries having been ob served. The CHAIRNAN said it was many y ears Since the di rectors hail bad the pleasure of laying before the pro prietors such a statement of the, pusition and prospects of their affairs as they had on that occasion; and this was not only on account of the increase in their divi dend, though this was satisfeetory, but especially on eeceuat of the arrangements which had been concluded between themselves and the ',endue and North-Western as well as the Eastern Counties Railw ay c om panies; and t h ese results, ho believed, wo u ld not have been attained if they had not been supported by t h e proprietary different stages of reform and amend men t which they had gone through in preparing their lice for the aceom medation of large traffic and the economical working of it. Had it not been for the sueeesive measures of the alteration of the gauge of the line —of the substitution of the locomotive engine for the stationery —of the oomph - • of the, j et Bow, which h a‘i only the Mil atter w in the future traffic, they would not have been in the position. which they then were, nor would the prospects of future traffic be so promising; nor did hod believe the realization of those prospects istant. d neeed the directors were of was very initiative of a very large ' opinion that before they met again at the close of another is the tangible benefits of their improved condition. lie looked upon the, prefies of their new arrangements _as actually within reach.

The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the repo rt and tie counts, which have already been published. Mr. SMITH seconded the motion. In answer to questions by several proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said the sum guaranteed by the Eastern Counties Company was 5 per cent. on 50,000/., the capital required for stations and. completion of the accommodation to meet the traffic of that compane. On the subject of the trains being run at an 1 earlier hour ere, be explained . that the earlier trains commenced running 1 and as the, early generally traffic declined, so the trains were run later with • to the l a view to accommodate the public.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the proprietors on the satisfactory ceedition of the company's affairs. There bad been a sensible increase of the receipts from passen ger truffle during the last six months, and it was reason able to expect that there would be a still greater augmen tation of their revenue when the Great Northern Company would seek to exercise the power which they possessed under their Act—that of adding a branch to the line of the docks and Birmingham Junction Company. Every day 'meliorated their prospects, and it was only that morning that he had received a communication from the proprietors of Finsbury Park, indicating what an im portant additional source of income would be opened to the present company by the establishment of that place of public recreation. Duriug the last half-year they had conveyed no fewer than 2,000,000 of passengers, and he was happy to say that in no one instance had any acci dent occurred, either to life or limb.—(Hear, hear.) This was in itself a very gratifying evidence of the ju dicious and careful manner in which the line was worked. This line, no doubt, hed been an expensive one, having cost about 100,000/. mile; but when it was borne in mind through what, important and valuable property the lino heel out, it would not be considered that that expense was greater than ought rationally to have expected. The Greenwich line had cost 270,90C1. per mile, and the Blackwell line 266,0001. A ?ROPRIETOR inquired whether there was any foun dation for a rumour which had obtained circulation, to the effect that it was intended to lease the line to the London and North-Western Railway Company? The CHAIRMAN replied that there was not the least foundation for any such report. Mr. WALSH inquired whether the law suit in which the company had been so long involved with the pro prietor of a well-known rope-walk was at an end? The CHAIRMAN said that tho suit in question was completely at an end, and the company had been foiled. In the course of their endeavours to construct the line they had had to make one thousand and thirty settle ments and as there was a manifest d i sp osi t ion on the part of all with whom they had bad to deal to make a hard bargain, the only wonder was that they had not been involved in greater litigation. In the case referred to they had unfortunately been unsuccessful, but the money would not be all lost, nor would the evil be unac companied by some advantage. The promises which were the subject of the suit might, by judicious ma nagement. bo made productive of revenue to the com pany, and would enable them to improve their gradient. Mr. WALSH wished to know whether it was intended to provide third•class carriages for the accommodation of the poorer orders of the public? The CHAIRMAN said that the question had been con sidered by the directors, but they were of opinion that it would not not be desirable to have a third-class car rfege on a line so very short and so publicly circum stanced as the present. After a brief conversation, it was ordered that the re port be received and adopted. A resolution declaring a dividend of 1 per cent., free of income-tax, on the company's original share capital fur the half-year, was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolutinn authorising the directors to raise the sum of 16,6661. by loan, under the Act of 1850, at 4 per cent. The motion was agreed to. Mr. J. ROE thought it was of considerable importance that the proprietors should be informed as to the proba bility of such arrangements being completed as would enable the goods traffic to be conveyed to the terminus at the docks without the interveniion of luggage vans. The CHAIRMAN said that such a continuous and un broken current of traffic as the one referred to was un doubtedly most desirable. It -had. already been ac complished to a great extent—(Hear, hear) —and he was happy to say that there was every probability that such arrangements would ultimately be effected as would give universal prevalence to the system,—(Hear, hear.) Motions for the re-election of Mr. R. Creed and Mr. W. H. Thomas, the out-going directors, were then agreed to, and Mr. Sweetland having been re-elected as auditor, the usual complimentary vote was passed to the chairman, and the mewing adjourned. DIRECT LONDON AND PORTSMOUTH. The ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was advertised to be held yesterday at the London Tavern. There was not a sufficient attendance to con stitute a meeting. The directors' report is as follows: " Your directors have but little to state on the present occasion. The preparation for finally abandoning the undertaking is going on, but the proceedings at law which have been instituted by landowners against the company, pending in August last, and then mentioned to the pro prietors, have not advanced to a hearing, though your directors are advised that one of these suits will very speedily be heard. " The directors proceeded to advertise for tenders for the forfeited shares, and the only tender they re ceived was for the 2,000 shares, at 2s. 6d. per share, which they did not think it expedient to accept. " The directors have, during the half-year, enforcec', arrears from some of the largest shareholders in default, and are proceeding to do the same by such others as are in a condition to pay euch arrears. " The directors cannot recommend the immediate adoption of any measures for winding up the undertak ing under existing circumstances." The accounts showed that 144,4284 had been received, and 120,0521. expended. YORK, NEWCASTLE, & BERWICK RAILWAY The half-yearly meeting of this company was held a. the De Grey Rooms, Yorkaesterds Y; Mr. Pulleine, the deputy chairman of the company, presided. The at tendance of shareholders was rather numerous. The SECRETARY (Captain O'Brien) having read the advertisement convening the meeting, th e seal of the company was af f ixed to the registered list of share holders. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Pulleine), who had been elected in the place of Mr. Leeman, resigned in consequence of ill health, proceeded to state that the traffic would, on the whole, be satisfactory to the shareholders as it was to the directors, there being an increase on the corre sponding half-year. In the passenger traffic there was a considerable increase up to the same amount, or more, in money than in the year 1847. He moved the adop tion of the report, except as to a paragraph recommend ing the err ction of a railway hotel at York. Mr. FLEWS seconded the motion. Mr. CommoN moved an amendment. He and many other shareholders felt that a large dividend ought t o be paid—at least at the rate cf 3 per cent. The per manent-way fund, as arranged in August, 1849, must be modified. Mr. MITCHELL seconded the amendment. Mr. LEEMAN said, supposing that Mr. Common would withdraw his amendment, he thought that for the future they (the directors) would be content to take 16,0001. in future as sufficient for this fund. Oa a division the amendment was negatived. Mr. JOHNSON moved that for future years the reserve fund be 16,0001., which was seconded by Mr. Schwano, and on a division was carried by a largo majority. The report, as amended, was then adopted. A dividend at the rate of 3 per cent., less income-tax, was then ordered to be paid on the 9th of March next. ' Mr. Wharton was then re-elected a director, and Mr. Hunter, of Newcastle, was appointed a director in the place of the late Mr. Kipling, and a vote of thanks was given to Mr. Leeman, on his retirement from the office of chairman of this company. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the erection of an hotel at York, which was opposed, and a warm discussion en sued. On a division the numbers appeared to bo pretty equal, but the chairman declared the motion to be car ried, whereupon a poll was demanded, and the result was as follows—for the hotel, 52 ; against it, 30 ; majo rity in favour of it, 22. It was then demanded that the votes should be taken on the number of shares held by the shareholders who had voted. Mr. Wylie was re-elected an auditor, after which thanks were voted to the Chairman and the meeting separated. FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

Let us see how the country stands in its trade and finances; let us ascertain the exact state in which Lord John Russell hands its welfare over to Lord Derby ; let us know, in figures that cannot lie, what it is that free-trade has done for us ; then we shall be able the better to hold a Tory Government responsible for any acts that may tamper with or jeopardise the commercial liberty of import and export which we now enjoy, and have to thank the late and present Parliament for. First of all, then, Lord Derby receives the National Finances in a flourishing condition. Free trade has not, at least, turned a surplus into a deficit. If of late years our expenses have gone on increasing, so also has our income ; and, notwithstanding a re mission since January,lB46, of taxes to no smaller an n a toi of m i et reducingeBunsno2tr am t n h eunxs stills su 6 s sm6y3ofe further Lo6ruife3t income t2 8 : 1 ,007 . rtf , mh2t t i6neh h s " e 3oa r ,vr e twe6lhryze w e. ieng a t x,h s hpraLte a ebno t oe:rfiv t dim h ett u e ai Dalrxii beginning e:trrniebobas ynec ster ling ietnnhirguei not, therefore, have the excuse of want of means for will find no apology in the ab ,, ence of Treasury balances for tampering with or manipulating the n w a i t t i h on a al su fi rio na i n u c s e r s e . pressed on th'e public mind—Lord Derby takes office ling ! He will therefore ; be able, without reverting to a bread duty, to reduce the income-tax and get rid of its inequalities. And how has this enormous—it may be correctly said, this unprecedented—surplus been produced ? By merely giving the industry of the community fair play ; by simply relieving the natural energies of the people from the weight of oppressive burthens ; by only removing pernicious restrictiona on their trade ; by allowing them to carry the , products of their labour to the dearest markets, and enabling them to buy the means of their subsistence in the cheapest. Within the last ten years we have, after an arduous struggle against class interests, long confirmed mo nopolies, and a powerful combination of aristo cratic influence, obtained free trade in provisions ; we have at least got cheap bread, cheap meat, cheese, butter, sugar, coffee, and all the minor articles of food ; we have got cheap freights to reduce the cost of their transport ; we have got cheap materials (timber, bricks, glass, Sec.) wherewith to build and repair our houses. And mark the consequences. Not only have we now a surplus revenue of three millions sterling, but in nine years our exports have (in value alone) increased full 50 per cent. ; in 1842 they were 47,381,0231.; in 1850 they had risen to 71,359,184/. ; and in consequence of this demand for labour and of this cheap ness of living, our general pauperism is now de creasing at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, and our able-bodied adult pauperism at the still more satisfactory rate of nearly 12 per cent. Let us never, then, forget that Lord Derby has received the country into his safe keeping with a rapidly increasing trade and a decreasing rate of pauperism, and that this, as well as prosperity in its finances, is the result of that free-trade policy which he and his supporters mean to reverse if they can. But, descending from these all important general results of free trade, let us examine a little the par- titular items which make up its noble and conclusive aggregate ; and, first, of bread. In 1845 we" im ported only 1,141,957 quarters of wheat, and but 2,423,145 quarters of all sorts of foreign grain. Since 1847 we have consumed on an average not less than ten millions of quarters; and of that great increase in 1851 no fewer than 5,355,687 quarters were of wheat. Now, by this almost miraculous augmentation, we have, as Mr. Lewis remarks, " gauged the capa city of the real effective demands of the country, and proved, by the demonstration of filar, the extent of the privation previously suffered by the community." Let us remember, then, that Lord Derby, when he assumed the government of the country, found it yearly consuming ten millions of quarters of foreign grain, all paid for in goods the produce of British industry; as shown by the enormous increase in the bullion iu the cellars of the Bank of England. Next in importance comes sugar. In 1842 foreign sugar was excluded from use in this country ; and the duty on British plantation sugar was 255. 20. per cwt. Then we yearly consumed but 4,068,331 cwts. Now, the tax on colonial is only 10s. per cwt., and that on foreign 14s. (to be equalised in 1854) ; and the result is the consumption, in 1851, of 6,884,189 cwts., or an increase in nine years of more than 69 per cent. Let this " great Let" be ever before cur eyes when we think of the time when a Protectionist Government succeeded to power. As with bread an 1 sugar, so with timber. In 1843 we only used 1,317,643 loads of 50 oubic feet each; but the duty being reduced to 7s. 6d., we last year used 2,037,077 loads. In 1842 we took 28,519,646 lbs. of coffee ; in 1851, 32,564,164 lbs. In that time our consumption of foreign cheese has more than doubled ; we ilTß . now using 14.000,000 lbs. more of tea than we did then ; 6,000,000 lbs. more of tobacco ; and one million pounds' we i g ht more of pepper. In raw materials de increased im portation is just as great; in nine years the increase of raw cotton has been nearly 100,000 lbs. ; of flax, 700,000 cwts. ; of wool, upwards of 15,000,000 lbs. Under such circumstances, what wonder that in 1851 our exports of cotton goods were greater by seven millions sterling in value than they were in 1842—that the value of our silks sent abroad has doubled, and so also machinery ? That our exports of hardware have increased in money value one million sterling—iron and steel two millions three hundred thousand pounds—and that even our yarns are augmenting in exportable value ? These, too, are facts to be held in remembrance in the presence of a Protectionist Cabinet. Equally rapid under the influence of an enlarged trade has been the increase in our shipping. In 1844 the tonnage of British shipping which entered and cleared out from our ports, excluding that which came in and went out in ballast, was 5,691,680 ; in 1851 it was 8,535,252 ; and last year, in the single port of Sunderland, no fewer than 146 vessels, of the aggregate tonnage of 51,823 tons, were launched ; and now other 73 ships are on the stocks in the same port. When, too, was money so cheap ; when gold, so abundant; when, stocks so high? All predictions as to corn imports producing a drain of bullion have been falsified ; and in the last five months of 1851 the stock of bullion in the Bank has increased four mil- lions sterling. This, then, is the result of " taking stock," that Lord Derby receives the country with a surplus re venue of nearly three millions, consuming ten mil lion quarters of foreign grain annually, 69 per cent. more sugar than it did nine years since, 25 per cent. more coffee, quite as much more tea, and more to bacco—exporting more of all its produce ; with money cheap, scarce a labourer unemployed; with pauperism decreasing, and generally in such a state of prosperity as that nothing but political perv ersit y can injure. Knowing, then, the state in w hich he receives it, we are now able to appreciate how he will deal with it. This ii` , what free trade has done. Who will dare to interfere with it ?—Daily News.

TO TOE EDITOR, OF THE HYGEIST AND MEDICAL REFORMER. Dear Sir,—At the meeting of Hyggists, held at the British College of Health, July 15, 1851, 1 had the honour of proposing that our next annual meeting should be called a seml.jubilee Of the British College of Health, being a quarter of a ciatury since its establishment by the immortal "James Morison; and during the time we were at dinner I said privately to a few gentlemen near me that there ought to be a Monument raised-to the memory of so great a man as the Hygelst, and that at the proposed meeting to be held in the summer of the present year, I should openly recommend such monument to be erected by the smallest contributions from the countless thousands of people in all countries who have been benefited by his simple theory, and the practical use of the Universal Medicine. I am glad, however, to flni in the last number of the Ilygeist, a letter front our learned tri,nd, Mr. Manneville, upon the same sub ject, in which he regrets that the idea of erecting a monument to Mr. Morison has not occurred to others sooner ; and, in conclusion, begs to say, that he alone is responsible for the prop ,sal of a subscription for the purpose of such erection. Now, Mr Editor, I will not com plain that the worthy gentleman has deprived me of the honour of proposing, as I contemplated, but heartily thank him for taking the initiative, and shall,be most glad to second hint, and share with him the responsibility of such proposal. Sir, I believe Mr. Morison has been the honoured instrument of drawing the attention of the world to the simple and truthful system of Ilygeism ; and like all others who have broken in upon the gloom, and have disturbed the slum bers of the old system, he met with abundance of abuse, and endured much persecution. The theory which he propounded is now be lieved by men of all ranks, in every civilised country under the sun. As a theory, it was the first with which history makes us acquainted —it has been believed through all past ages—surrounding and con flicting errors could never destroy that simple theory, that system of nature. But it has been, so far as we know, reserved for James Morison to give it efficiency, by proving its truth and publishing it to the world amidst contumely and scorn. Theories, however plau sible, cannot stand before the scrutiny of modern science unless they can be proved. Morison has proved that theory. He acted on the conviction that cleanliness, external and internal, is the great source of health. He has, by his experiments in the department of physi cal philosophy, shed a flood of light. To cleanse and not to injure was the great desideratum. Morison has made that grand discovery, by acting on the truth of inspiration , in the 33th cha p ter, 4th verse, of Ecelesasticus, where it is recorded — ": The Lord created medicines out of the earth, and he that is wise will not abhor them." Vege table ingredients were what he used —ingredients whose juices would digest, and therein was the grand proof of their salubrity; whose tendency was to loosen and put in a state of solution, tenacious gross humours, and at the same time open up every drain in the human system, through which to expel all unhealthy and corru p t humours. He has, humanely speaking, brought into existence a new power for the healing of the nations. All manner of diseases have fled before it, or been removed by its agency. Tne experiments have been num berless, and the harmonious results all establish the same truth. Sir, the ignorant may scoff, and the learned ,bigot may sneer, the interested may oppose, but the facts arc too numerous to be refuted, too true to be belied, and too powerful to be put down. As popular prejudice passes away, the name of Morison will shine with greater lustre, and his memory be cherished as a high blessing and benefac tor of Isis country and the world. Entertaining such sentiments of the man, I cannot but heartily unite with all right-minded men who have been benefited by the Universal Medicine of the British College of Health to aid in erecting a monument to its founder, James Mon son, Esq.—and am, dear, sir, yours, most respectfully , JAMES HIBBERT. All persons favourable to the above are requested to address the Editor of " The llygeist," 368, Strand, London. THE SILENT FRIEND. IN SIX LANGUAGES—FORTIETH EDITION.
