FATHER- WINTER. A TALE. (From the "Miscellany of Imagination." 'Twas near the close of Eighteen Forty eight, Some time in Aatumn—l forget the date— When to tke astonishment of each and all, Old Winter favoured MOSES with a call. Striking in countenance, and sharp was he, And very old, for d I was there to see. • His snowy locks hung round his frosty face, Whose ruddy glow illumined all the glace. Two icicles, as ear-drops, I observed, • For which, of course, they admirably served. On being introduced, he bowed his head, And thus auto the two, great tailors said : " I've called upon you, gentlemen," said he, " Merely to ask what you've prepared for me ? Your last year's Winter stock I valued much•; 'Twas out•and-out, and I pronounced it such. lint please to tell me," said the old papa, " What kind of articles your present are ?" " With pleasure," answered MOSES, both together, " We'll tell you what we have for Winter weather : First let us mention, venerable sire, Our admirable stock of NEW ATTIRE. Tou talk of last year's stock," said Messrs. MOSES, " But look at what our Warehouse now discloses : Coats, Overcoats, and Trousers we display, In styles adapted to the present day. Improvement is our watchword, Sire, and that's Apparent also i❑ our choice NEW , HAT:. A hat." said MOSES, " from our stock of stocks, Would well become those beauteous snow-white locks. You can't imagine, Father," said the Hatters, "How much we've done in these essential matters ; Nor does our credit one iota lose, When staked upon our prime NEW BOOTS AND SHOES. With shoes like these, those poor old trots of yours Would not be plagued with bunions, corns, and sores. Another thing,we must allude to, Sir, And that's our present stock of choice NEW FUR. The ladies have pronounced them out-and-out, And what the ladies say involves no doubt. If you were not a bachelor, we guess, You'd bring the good old lady for some dress. A vast improvement also you will see In every feature of our HOSIERY. There's not an article in this choice store, Ilut what the public values more and more. Such are the preparations w@ have made In each peculiar feature of our trade." " Well done 1" said Father Winter, and with that He took his stick, and donned his broad-brimmed hat.

More' exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon' earth. How is it that men, of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a lifer tints spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be beyond measure deplorable 1 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.

REVIEW OF THE WORK. La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in 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 1 In the book before as such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one 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 morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who 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 pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine." —United Kingdom Magazine.

PADDINGTON STATION, Nov. 23, 1848.—Resolutions considered at sev( rat conferences held in London, in the months of September, October, and November, 1848, be tween deputations of the London and North-Western, the Great Western, and the London and South-Western Companies, in consequence of the unprecedented demand for additional capital, to be employed in constructing, simultaneously, many new lines of railway not imme diately or imperatively required, the prejudicial effect thereof on the commercial and manufacturing interests (as affirmed by Committees of both Houses of Parlia ment), and the serious depreciation of investments in railways thus occasioned; with a view to adopt, as well for the sake of the public as of the proprietors, some immediate and efficacious measure for counteracting such results:— 1: That it is in the highest degree important to make arrangements for uniting the interests of the three corn -franies ropresented at this conference, in some manner calculated hereafter to prevent, so far as they aro con cerned, any wasteful expenditure either in unnecessary schemes or Parliamentary contests, while they may at the same time be enabled, by maintaining a fairly re munerative income, to provide liberally for the safety and accommodation of the public, by tineans of efficient establishments under a well-organized system of maliage ment. 2. That upon a careful consideration of the means calculated to attain such important public and private objects the most effectual plan seems to be that of cre ating a permanent and absolute identity of interest among the shareholders of the three companies, under the sanction of the Legislature. 3. That as some "months must now elapse before the Act of Parliament for authorising such union can be ob- tained and carried into effect, it is essential that an ar rangement should be forthwith glade for placing the ex penditure of the three companies under control, and for facilitating such measures as may seem conducive to the accommodation and convenience of the public in the use of stations and the working of lines connected with each other, so as best to develop traffic, without interruption, and with due regard to economy. That for these pur poses, as well as for deciding any question relating to the guarantee or _lease of other lines, or the general policy of the companies, it is requisite to appoint a joint board of control, consisting of seven directors of each company, with all necessary powers—that the quorum shall consist of not less than three members of each company—that at all meetings a majority shall bind the minority, and all absent members, the chairman having at each meeting a casting vote, and being ch. sen by turns from the several companies represented. 4. That a Bill shall be introduced into Parliament in th;n:XTses;iOn for the above purposes, and that the joint board shall have the charge and control of it, and shall take such steps as they may .deem proper for ob taining the sanction of the Legislature ; but in the event of at least five of the seven directors, representing either company, considering any provision inserted, or proposed to be inserted, in the said Bill, indonsistent with the principles herein agreed to, or detrimental to the interests . of their shareholders, it shall he referred to two referees , one chosen by the directors of the dissentient company, and the other by the remaining members of the united board, or to an umpire, previously' to be 'chosen by them to.determine the matter in dispute. The joint board to have the power, in case of need, to renew the application. to Parliament from session to session. • 5. That no new pecuniary engagements, excepting in discharge of liabilities already existing, or in fulfilment of present legal objections, shall be incurred by any one of the three companies, without notice to and consent of the joint board; but full freedom of action is reserved by the South-Western Company as to their extension into Windsor, the Great Western Company protesting against such reservation, for the reasons stated in the accompanying declaration (paper A), and reserving their rights thereupon, the London and South-Western Rail way Company adding as their reply to such declaration the accompau)ing paper B. The joint board shall not be authorised to override any existing pecuniary engagc zuents or liabilities of any one of the contracting com panies, or to compel arrangements for the use of sta tions, or for the working of connecting lines of railway, against the protest in writing of five out of the seven directors representing any one of the companies; it being, nevertheless, in the power of such directors tv withdraw such protest upon arrangements being made to their satisfaction. 6. That nothing in these resolutions shall be under stood to debar any one of the three companies, previously to the passing of the Act, from applying to Parliament for extension of time respecting any railway, the powers of making which are about to expire, but so that no addi tional liability shall be contracted under such new Act without the consent of the joint board. 7. That the broad gauge shall be laid and maintained over the lines for which it has been authorised by Par liament, or over any lines in substitution thereof, when ever such railways may be constructed; and that no steps shall be taken, by application to Parliament or otherwise, for relinquishing or abandoning the use of the said gauge as respects those lines, subject to the ques tion of any existing engagement to the contrary. 8. That iu any united board, to be created under the Act, each of the companies shall in the first instance-be equally represented in number, and such first joint boar:d shall continue in office for a fixed term of five years from the passing of the Act; and that due provision shall . be made in the Act for the local administration of the several railways.. , _ 9. In the event of any of the directors, appointed by either of the three companies, being unable from any cause to attend any meeting of the joint board; or, when the Act shall have passed, to attend any meeting of the first united board, the directors of such company may nominate another director for the occasion, out of their own board or committee, to attend such meeting; and such director shall have the same power at.such meeting as the director in whose stead ho may be nomi natEd would have had. 10. That the functions of the joint board shall con tinue during the proceedings in Parliament, and for four months thereafter, when they shall cease, unless re newed by mutual consent. 11. That the principle of the Act to be obtained is for empowering the three companies, or two of them (not, being the London and North-Western ,and London and South-Western Companies), to be united into the com pany upon terms to be consented to by general meetings of the respective proprietors, specially convened for the purpose; but no amalgamation between two companies is to be authorised to take place until after the expira tion of six months from the passing of the Act. 12. That the general meetings bf the three companies shall be called for Wednesday, the 13th of December next, to consider this arrangement, and, if sanctioned, to approve the draft of the Bill to be submitted to Parliament as required by the standing orders ; and that in the meantime the solicitors give the requisite notices and prepare such Bill. 13. That it be the duty of the chairman of this day, so scion as the draft Bill is ready, or sooner, if needful, to convene a meeting of the joint board for its conside ration, prior to the general meetings,• the companies being requested to appoint in the meantime their re spective members of such joint board.

The London and South-Western directors having sig nified their intention to apply' to Parliament in the next session for a Bill to extend their railway through the Home Park into Windsor, and to authorise a separate station in that town, without submitting it to the deci cision of the joint board alfeady resolved upon, that step is protested against as being a t var i ance w i th the objects and principles of the arrangement,occasioning a renewed contest in Parliament, and involving an expense preju dicial to the inter e st o f any un i ted company Tne Great Western directors having been g w 'lli to submit every qu es ti on o f their own to the joint l board, n can only consent to the reservation insisted upon by the London and South-Western directors, upon the declara tiOn that such measure must receive their uncompromis ing opposition, if attempted in the next session, as being injurious, if no union shall be agreed upon, to the Great Western Company; and, on the other hand, if it shall take effect, injurious to the united company, inasmuch as the scheme will render it impracticable to join the two railways, and will necessitate permanently two dis tinct stations, and the maintenance of two separate establishments in the town of Windsor for the manage ment of that traffic.

That ia con sideration of the ewstigreP.Trre7 101. paid on the 311. shares, and of the loss that may he sustained by the Chestqr and s7l€;r3ira,sl,ls viz.:—That — nd Birkenhead shareholders by' ,the postpooement of the works, it shall be understood and agreed that 255. per share bas been paid on such share. That one new share shall be allotted to the holder of every 311. sharl upon which 101. has been paid ; and every holder who may decline to accept such new share shall be paid in money 255. per share, and cease to have any furtht• interest in the concern. That the residue of such new shares not taken up shall be rateably divided amongst the holders of the Chester and Birkenhead shares, of the nominal value of 271. 10s. and 221. That interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum be paid to the Chester and Birkenhead shareholders until the Chester Junction line is opened. That application be made to Parliament for power to revise the capital; to limit the works from Birkenhead to Warrington or Moore; and to make-u -rangements with other companies. The CHAIRMAN stated that for some time it bad been obvious that the line could not be made throughout in its integrity—that was, from Birkenhead to Chester and from Chester to Stockport. The amount which.would be required for th a t p ur p ose was 450,000/. If they were to call upon those who had paid their five calls, a capital of only 378,0001. would 1.),i raised; but he telt assured that not more than from 12,000 to 15,000 shares would be paid upon. Finding themselves in this posi tion, the directors proposed to make the line frail Chester to Moore, a distance of 15 miles, and no further at present. Mr. BROWNE said, that if the proposals were adopted a valuable property would be created, in %Ilia the Cheshire Junction shareholders could share. It was stated that the extension line to the docks had cost the sum of 300,000/., which had been incurred at the instance of .the Cheshire Junction Company t that 371,1821. had been paid on the Cheshire Junction shares, and 303,112 L had been expended; that 93,000/. had been expended on the works between Chesty'. and Warrington. • A twig discussion ensued, in the course of which an amendment was moved, that the money to be repaid should be 10i. instead of 255. per share; but it was eventually withdrawn, and the propositions of the di. rectors were carried by a large majority; after .which the meeting, which was numerously attended, separated.

DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN A HOUSE IN THE CITY.—On Saturday f orenoon l ast , b etween t h e hours of eleven and twelve, considerable alarm' was caused in Easteheap, City, by the sudden outbreak of two fires in the upper part of the extensive premises belonging to Messrs. Knight and Fosters, stationers, situate at No. 5, in the before-mentioned thoroughfare, and, from what has already transpired, the Fire Brigade authorities have returned both outbreaks as having been wilfully occasioned. It appears that the third floor of the building was occupied conjointly .by a Mr. Edward Rea and Mrs. Emily Joyce, and 'that 'a 'female servant did the household work for both parties. On Saturday forenoon the inmates were astonished at hearing a very unusual noise in the house, and the servant wasi sent to learn the cause. She returned almost immediately afterwards, and exclaimed " The house is on fire' and left the premises. The engines of the parish and London Brigade promptly attepded,and on the firemen entering the third floor they found a chest of drawers and some boxes in the back room wrapped'in a bddy of fire. They imme diately set to work, and after some trouble they' were succeisful in getting the flames extinguished, shen their at:eution was called to the front room by seeing smoke pouring forth from under the doorway.

The damage done is thus:officially reported :—"A chest of drawers, boxes, and the contents of back room third floor burned, landing scorched, window-glass broken and ceilings under da maged by water; a box and contents burned in front room on the same floor; two distinct fires." The ser vant girl, it appears, was going to leave her situation during the day, and, from other circumstances which came to the knowledge of her employers, they felt justi fied in giving her into custody. WRECK OF THE BARQUE SEMIRAMIS OF GREE NOCK.—This fine vessel, of 360 tons burden, Captain Welsh, master, was wrecked at Saltcoats on Monday morning last. She was ballast laden, bound from Lon don to Greenock, and from stress of weather attempted to'put into the harbour of Saltcoats, following the wake of a small brig, the Farnham, which made the harbour b: fore her. It was at the time blowing very hard from tho south-west, and not keeping a steady cours e , s h e struck on the north side of the entrance, and then came over on to the perch at th e p o i nt of the harbour on the south side, lying in a very bad position. The crew, six teen in number, chiefly " runners " were all landed safely by means of ropes swung over the end of the quay—the whole crowd of people assembled having cheered heartily . when the last was taken off. The vessel was entirely broken up in about an hour afterwards—planks, boxes, barrels, &c., floating on the shore. What remains of her is now off the perch, the principal portion of her lying inside of it. The Semiramis had arrived lately at, London from the East Indies, with a cargo of sugar, ancv. was proceeding to Greenock to undergo a thorough re pair. Captain Joseph Ritchie, of Saltcoats, has been very active in saving as much of the wreck as possible. Mr. Campbell, innkeeper, afforded every accommoation to the sufferers that hospitality could suggest; anti the Rev. John Bryce not only clothed the captain, buW,gavo dry clothes to all the crew.—Ayr Advertiser. THE POLISH REEUGEES.—An investigation about to be made by the Treasury, with the assistance of Or. J.
