This Association; las been formed principally with the 'view of af erding to gentian.. .n engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUBLIC OFFICE 4, BANW ING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA.- BLISIIMENTS, a.e.afe and advantageous mode of investing a portion M their incomes, et her by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound Interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences. The operations of this Society will he regulated by Tables prepared expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The lending pri selples of this Society are 1. Perfect aqua lily of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member wishing to antici' pate his Shares will be entitled at any given period of the S'oe'etY's c xistenee, with the means if ascertaining precisely at sny date the monist payable to retiring Members, and the value of the Sharet of cent.anuing Members. M embers ma sr pay up the whole er any portion of their subeeripe tins for the to J years, in advance, and discount, after the rate if 41. per Cent. per t wise:ls, will be allowed for the sums so paid. Me mbers wig lung to withdraw their Subscriptions may do se after the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period corn- Pound intone, ,t at the rate of 6/. per Cent. per annini will be allowed upon the sir As withdrawn. Shares r Jay be transferred free of stamp duties. By Ohs plan adapted in this So ciet y new Members entering at any pefie,d, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have gene advanced to them 'without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ; 2 ‘...n ( i, the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new 'members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un *Mal and objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares to auction, and advancing the money to those who sehmit to the largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature, 'Which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the tame advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow. • lag Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the heavy ried into fall monthly " r operationedemption fee," and the mutual principle is car . lie Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own litibecriptions.

A few evenings back (for I happened to see) Mr. Smart and his lady were sitting at tea; And Harry, their firstborn, a beautiful lad, Completed the bliss of the Mammy and Dad. Now, at times each as this, it is often the case, That a family chit-chat is beard to take place ; So it was with the Smarts on the evening in question, And thus Mrs S. made a usefhl suggestion : "My dear," said the wife, with a smile that bewitched, ' " Don't you think it's high time for the boy to be breech'd ; " For my own part, I certainly think that it is; " And now for his suit—for I'm rather a quis. 44 I consider there's no better thing can be done, Than to go to the Warehouse of MOSES and SON." " Of course," said the husband, " you couldn't suppose " That I'd ever go anywhere else for his clothes. " Messrs. MOSES my highest approval have won, " And they, therefore, shall furnish both father and son. " You remember, my dear, how I stood to remark, " Each juvenile suit as we walked through the Park ; " And I kiow they were MOSES and SON'S by the cut, " And Harry shall have one, without if,' or but.' " Messrs. MOSES are fan' tiess in all that they sell, " In hosiery, clothing, and tar goods as well. " And quality blended with cheapness is ono " Of the mighty attractions of MOSES and Still." Thus the wife and the husband agreed, as one voice, And didn't they come to a very " wise choice?" LIST OF PRICES. ILLADIr MADE.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of Climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breech of the law is acqaiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the atter im possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge- Mous and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This Invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby treating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or broach are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a doable revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used ha the Government and aumemus public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Eat., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court, Gracechnrch-street; and at the principal office, 1, Wellington-street, London-bridge, Borough, where applications for shares may be addressed. fAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN TAIN PUMPS, which roll tke water upwards, without oither friction or faltering, therefore can never be eurpitaked ; consew qaently this is the most important discovery ever made ter the pro seryatiol of life and property either at Sea or Olt Laud. AT SEA numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains grateflilly ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : _ . " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saying the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump chocked and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrlyod safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the oitbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so ciety."—Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on fire in aid near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dyery, and 12,000/. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just is time to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which mast kave spread around de struction and death. " North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfelk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the feet is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Ckain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by frletion, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters. lamented thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeis half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had, tried in vain fbr two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 41 seconcis,;but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clenton Roberts, Esq., its his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. [laddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Ilay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement la the useful arts is modern times. The Consansmation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 &et altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at copmetitiox ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

Jut published, and may be had in French or English, in a Sealed Envelope, 2s. 8c1„ or post-free, from tke author, for forty-two Stamps, THE NEW NOVEL, "ANGELA," by the author of "Emilia Wyndham," is just now the topic of conversa tion in most literary circles. Having painted " Emilia Wyndham" on the eve of that great struggle which a young lady obliged to got her living would have to make, the author, in this new production, has described that struggle actually taking place, and the difficulties which a brave and generous temper—strengthened by religion —would enable a young girl to overcome. The con trast between indolence and energy—between an educa tion founded on first principles and one neglected— between natural gifts alone and gifts strengthened and developed by sound discipline and piety—is admirably shown in the contrast between the two principal female characters.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 3T, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source In every instance disclosed, in how many could itbe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any ether to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatem; and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ke forgets that accurate discrimination i n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

YORK, FEB. 21.—This day the half-yearly meeting of this company was held in the De Grey Rooms; Mr. Iludson, M.P., in the chair. The attendance of share holders was numerous. After the preliminary business, Mr. GRAY, the secretary, read the following report:- " The directors, in laying before the proprietors the statement of the accounts of the company for the half • year, ending the 31st of December, 1847, have to report that the receipts on the traffic account for passengers, parcels, and mails amount to 126,9461. 3s. 3d.; for mer chandise, cattle, &c., 106,9011. 19s. 5d.; and for rents and staithe dues, 151/. is. 4d.; total, 233,9991. 4s. The expenses of working the line during the same period are 69,298/. 17s. 7d.; and the interest on debentures, 18.653/. 4a. 4d.; the clear profits of the half. year de rived from traffic being 147,765/. 1 la. 2d. " The directors recommend that a dividend be de clared after the rate of ten per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock of the company, and after the same rate 101. per share of the East and \Vest Riding shares, being the amount which was paid up on those shares previous to the 30th of June last-deducting income tax; the total amount of this dividend will be 113,9311. 13s. 6d., the payment of which, together with the half year's rent of the Hull and Selby and Bridlington lines, due on the Ist of February last, will leave a balance of 8811. 155.:9d., which, being added to the sum of 16,0001., the proceeds of the sale of a portion of the East and West Riding shares, which were placed at the disposal of the diredadtp, leaves a gross surplus of 16,8.811.153.9 d. to the credit of the company. " The Harrogate line was opened as far as Spofforth en the 10th of August. The line between File) , and Bridlington was opened on the 20th of October ; and from York to Market Weighton on the 4th of Oct.; and the directors expect to open the line from Selby to Market Weighton and the new station at Hull, with the branches leading tlaareka in April next, and the remain der of the; Harrogate aline in May next. The•greater part of the works on all these lines has been already executed, and the statons at Hull and Harrogate are approaching completion. " The directors add the following detaila of the traffic for the half-year :- "Passengersafirst class, 105,815; second class, 241,443; third class, 319,713; Government class, 160,094; total, 827,065.

" The cash statement was suspended. The capital account showed the receipts prior to July, 1847, to have been 2,891,6541. ss. 6d. During the half year there has teen received on account of shares 388,932/. Is., and on debentures, 134,6781. ; debentures to the amount of 22,000/. have been paid ofl, leaving the net receipts of the half-year at 501,610/.. Is.; the sum of 300,0001 has been borrowed from the 6 per cent. guaranteed stock, and a balance is owing of 106,032/. 15s. 6d. The payments prior to July, 1847, amount to 3,196,869/. 10s. Bd.; during the half year there has been expended in works and stations, 340,0741. 19s. 3d.; sleepers, 38,823/. 15s. 7d.; land and conveyance, 54,4981. 14s. 9d.; iron rails and chairs, 58,612/. 13s. 9d.; engines, carriages, wag gons, &e., &c., 41,5941. 7s. 11d.; Parliamentary ex penses 5,0301.; engineering, 7 , 0001 .; advance to Hull and Selby Company, 55,917/. 4s. 10d.; miscellaneous and printing, 875/. 15s. id.; total payment in half year, 602,427/. lls. 4d." _ _ The seal of the company was then affixed to the regis try of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN then rose to move the adoption of the report. He said, he congratulated them u.pon the fact that he had not to meet them with a diminished divi dend; but although that was not the case this time he would not conceal the fact that ere long, as increased capital had to be paid upon, there must be a diminished dividend. But that was a question of traffic. If trade revived and the means of the people increased, then the company would be benefited by increased traffic. With respect to the East and West Riding shares, he proposed that they should pay on another 5k capital next half year, on another W. on succeeding half-year, and on the further 5Z on the third half-year. He observed that the interest on these shares had not been paid out of capital, although their Act permitted them to do so. With reference to their future traffic, he observed that during the past half-year they had averaged 8,0001., and he an ticipated that next year they would realise an average of 10,0001. per week. He was hlppy to say that this com pany had resisted a reduction of fares before Par liament, and possessed the sam3 tariff as when first incorporated. They had not dipped into capital for working their railway ; no amalgamation of this com pany was anticipated with the York awl Newcastle Company. He stated these facts in contru'iction to re ports made elsewhere. He commented <ii the great increase of traffic to result from their branches when they came into full working order, and lopked forward to the day when they would realise 10 per cent. on all their capital. The company would not - have to go to Parliament this session for any Bill, and he believed their property was as secure as any property could be. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Moon asked some questions ; hat Mr. RAND objected to such questions being pressed during negotiations which are pending respecting the lease of the Hull and Selby, in which the Manchester and Leeds have an interest. The CHAIRMAN entered into some further details, from which it appeared that he expected they had ample capi tal to meet all their expenses in the execution of their branches. Mr. BROUGH recommended that the East and West Riding shares should participate sooner in full dividend. The CUAIOMAN promised to consider the suggestion before next meeting. The resolution declaring the dividend, as recommended report, teconsolidated stock, an d 10, , . per share on namely, at the rate of 10 per cent. per n and West Ridin g s h ares , l ess i ncome -t a x, was annumthenin t E h e:t o has rried. Sir J. Simpson and Mr. R. Nicholson, two directors, were re-elected. • A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the business of the meeting. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. At the close of the former meeting the business of this company was proceeded with ; Mr. Hudson also in the chair. Mr. Close, the secretary, read the following report:- "The directors be; to present to the proprietors the usua l statement of the cap i ta l an d revenue accounts f or b 1 e 2 3 5. 1 8 s t d nDfeacveofue favour of ltabset,shoei companyn account, g after deducting working toahnbe balance f e • re y e T ev a fe r n2ule6,7 ending l4l t . ex penses and interest. e The directors recommend that a dividend be de clared at the rate of 9 per cent, per annum upon the consolidated stock of the company, and upon 101. per share of the York and Newcastle Extension shares (No. 1.); and that a dividend at the same rate be paid upon lee, per share of the original Newcastle and Berwick and North Shields purchase shares respectively, and at the rate of 5 per cent, on the remaining 10/. per share of the North Shields shares. After the payment of these seve ral dividends and the half-year's rent of the Great North of England Railway, a surplus of 45,8331. 13s. 10d., will remain to the credit of the company. e The traffic for the past half-year appears to :the directors to have been most satisfactory, and as there will be no addition to the rent now payable to the Great North of England Company for the next eighteen months, and as a large increase of traffic may be con& dently expected on the completion of the bridges across the Tyne and Tweed, and of the different branches yet unopened, the directors regard the future prospects of the company as of the most encouraging character. The directors propose to commence forthwith the construction of the docks at Jarrow Slake, for which an Act was obtained last session. Th ese d oc k s , w h en com pleted, will form an important addi t i on to t h e f ac iliti es which the company now possess for shipment of coals and other merchandise, and cannot fail to prove highly advantageous.

The CHAIRMAN said that, owing to the late severe pressure in the money market, they thought it more prudent not to proceed with the works; although there were some proprietors who would have been glad to pay up their calls and receive 5 per cent. interest, yet there were many others to whom it would have been extremely inconvenient. The directors therefore thought the better course was to delay active operations. It was reasonable, also, that they should have some considera tion for the Great Northern Company, as well as for themselves, because the line would have been but of little value to them if it was opened before they were ready to work it. Thero was an impression in the Stock Exchange, and elsewhere, that the six per cent. guarantee would come into operation on the Ist of July next, whether the line was finished or not. The Act of Par liament provided that it would not come into operation until the line was opened, which would probably be eight or nine months later than was anticipated—some time in the spring of 1849. In conclusion he moved the adoption of the report. A PROPRIETOR understood that the date mentioned was definitively specified in the agreement with the Great Northern Company, whether the line was finished or not. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said, that the Act of last session was so worded that it overruled that part of the agreement. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, reducing the number of directors to nine, reelecting Captain Laws, reducing the amount of remuneration to the directors and auditors in accordance with the report, and electing Mr. F. A. Paull to be one of the auditors. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that although there ap peared no charge in the accounts for Parliamentary expenses during the past half year, there was an out standing account against them for the expenses of three bills, which he believed were very considerable. He was happy to say, however, that they had no Parliamentary business this session. It was probable that they would not make a call for six months. Thanks were voted to the chairman and directors, and the meeting separated. Sir George Larpext, Bart., Chairman of the Londoit Committee of 1846 for Extension of klteain Navigatiou to Australia.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimetone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hairon her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any 'ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mane it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate _ladies may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs see. flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevoits headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the grown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In roost cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair oil children's heads in a few appplications.

LIEUT.-GENERAL NAPIER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " BOMBAY GENTLEMEN'S - - GAZETTE." Sir,—ln your paper, of the 2d November I read the following paragraphs in allusion to the defeat of th• Boogtie tribe by that intrepid officer Lieutenant Mere wether:—" A Government general order has testified to Lieutenant Merewether the satisfaction that Govern ment entertain of his services and conduct in dispersing these lawless tribes ; but we cannot conceal from our selves that these bloody frays might be prevented. These unhappy people were starving in the hills, and came, according to their custom, to levy contributions on their more provident countrymen in the plains. It has been asserted that had they got among the peaceable villagers they would have shown less mercy than they received ; we question that, when we find that they were cut off to a man." (Yes, but they were repeatedly offered quarter by Lieutenant Merewether and re fused it; whereas they themselves, never gave quarter!) "It will serve as a lesson for the future, and caution them how they offend again, and may lead them even tually to accept the protection which an extended mode of civil government is likely to open to them. It should be cne of the first measures of the new Goovrn ment to conciliate and improve the condition of these people." The OutliveAN, in moving the adoption of the report, observed, that their weekly traffic had averaged 1 0 ,4001., and had not the squeeze occurred in October it would probably have reached 13,0001. They had a large balance, after paying the dividend which they recona mewled, w hick must be highly gratifying. The con struction of their bridges over the Tyne and Tweed were being pressed on with all speed, and he hoped that in the month of July next they would have a temporary bridge over both rivers. When those bridges were completed, he assured them that the traffic would greatly astonish all parties. They would furnish Edinburgh and a great part of Scotland with coal and coke. The Kelso branch would be opened as soon as possible in the next autumn, and would form an important feeder. The Bedale branch would be opened on the Ist of next month. With reference to the traffic, bad they possessed dock room ample to their wants they could have worked their traffic at much less expense and realised a much greater revenue. They had car ried the astonishing quantity of above 1,000,000 tons of coals in the last half-year. No property existed which could be relied upon with more certainty than the rail ways in this district, which possessed an immense agri cultural produce, a large travelling population, and mineral in unbounded quantities, for which there was enormous demand. With reference to calls, he did not expect that they would require any during the next half-year, but he declined to pledge himself on that point. The next call would be on the No. 2 extensions; then the calls would be on No.l and N 0.2 in equal sums, pursuant to the terms of amalgamation. The resolution adopting the report was carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN then moved— N r u o i auwed of y , g S m i e r on , ut ronwm the o tu j h u e s n t cs w oi n n a dyuicnt remarkingw pursued h i c h upon o bo u yn n ah two a e v f e rp oa a ma l a w afi a gre i s y s at spoken of my gove rnment i n Si n d e i n d uces me to request fthaie in the above extract, so a s t o ena bl e t h e pu bli c to f orm a to last towards the Boogtie tribe. I request this, because the omission of Lieutenant-Colonel Shaw's letter, and a portion of Major Jacob's, by the Bombay Government, leaves the public to suppose that I had taken no pains to conciliate this tribe. First passage—" We cannot conceal from ourselves that these bloody frays might be prevented," &c. Second passage—" It should be one of the first mea sures of the new Government to conciliate and improve the condition of these people." • I have to show the public teat every possible step was taken by me to prevent these " bloody frays," and that every means was employed by me " to conciliate and improve the condition of those people." Had these things not been done by me, I should have little merited the approbation which my government of Sinde has been so fortunate to receive from two Governors-General under whose authority I served. A slight sketch of our transactions with the Hill tribes will enable the public to judge. Of these tribes there were many. The more powerful were the Murrees, the Boogties, the Doomkies, and the Jackrannees. Properly speaking they are all subjects of the Khan of Kelat, I believe; at all events he claims their allegiance, but they do not acknowledge, and I believe never have acknowledged, him as their sove reign. Of late years these tribes, with the exception of the Murrees, have been mainly ruled by Beja Khan, the Doomkie chief, and Beebrook Khan, the Boogtie chief. But Beebrook died some years ago, leaving Beja Khan the chief marauder of the Cutchee Ilills, and these tribes, as usual, plundered the plains towards the south, so as to mak3 the greatest part of Cutch Gundava a desert, although the soil is very fertile. When these tribes had devastated the country, and that Sinde began to thrive under our rule, the robber tribes pushed their inroads across the desert, and spread terror among the peasantry of Sinde inhabiting the frontier, as they did in the time of the Ameers, who were unable to do more than protect the town of Shikarpore, up to the walls of which these robbers carried their inroads. Against such active and enterprising enemies I saw that I had but one course to take: this was to attack their fortresses in the hills, or Sinde would become the prey of these merciless ruffians, for to guard this long frontier from their incursions was not possible, and if we withdrew our outposts, acknowledging cur impo tence, Beja Khan's name would ring through Central Asia as the conqueror of the English, and his force would increase from about 18,000 men to something like 100,000, recruiting his daring bands from Central Asia and the Punjaub; moreover, bands of confederate rob bers would form within our own territory, causing a long and sanguinary war, to the ruin of the Sinde peasantry and the injury of the revenue. I, therefore, marched a force into their strong country, attacked the hill tribes, and forced the whole to surrender in the great fastness of Truckee, except a portion of the Beogtie tribe, which portion escaped and fled into the Keytrian coun try,lhe Lord of Keytrian being father-in-law to Islam Khan, chief of the Boogtie . tribe _ _ " That a dividend be now declared at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock of the com pany; on 15/. per share of the original Newcastle and Berwick shares; on 151. per share of the North Shields purchase shares; and on 101. per share of the Extension No. 1 shares; and at the rate of 5 per cent. on the re maining 10/. per share of the North Shields purchase shares; such dividend to be paid (less income-tax) on the 28th of February inst." This resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN referred to the express trains on Saturday last, from London to Glasgow, with the budget. They beat the Caledonion line into Glasgow by two-hours and a half. The details were as follows: —From Rugby to Normanton (113 miles) in two hours and six minutes, being at the rate of 54 miles an hour; from Normanton to York (25 miles) in 29 minutes, being at the rate of 52 miles an hour; from York to Berwick (150 miles) in 3 hours and 26 minutes, being at the rate of 43 miles an hour; from Berwick to Edinburgh on the North British, 58 miles in 1 hour and 20 minutes, being at the rate of 47 miles an hour, and from Edinburgh to Glasgow, 48 miles, in 1 hour. The total distance from Rugby to Glasgow was 394 miles, which was done in 8 hours 21 minutes, including the time lost in crossing the Tweed and the Tyne, where the bridges are not completed.—(Applause.) The next resolution was— " That Mr. G. Hudson, M.P., and Mr. R. Davies be re-elected directors, and that Mr. T. Benston and Mr. 11. Richardson be elected auditors for the current year." This resolution was carried with loud applause. The business of the half-yearly meeting having been concluded, a special general meeting was held for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors, for their con sideration and approval, the drafts of the following Bills intended to be applied for in the present session of Par liament, ria.:— " A Bill for enabling the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick Railway Company to deviate or alter part of their Thirsk and Mutton Branch Railway, and to abandon part of the same, and for other purposes." " A Bill for enabling the Hartlepool Dock and Rail way Company, and the Great North of England, Clarence, and Hartlepool Junction Railway Company to lease their respective railways and works to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company." " A Bill for enabling the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick Railway Company to improve their main line of railway, and to make certain branches in the county of Durham, and for other purposes." The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the object of these several Bills, and they were all unanimously ap proved of. The proceedings were concluded by a cordial vote of thanks to the Chairman. The Murree tribe had formerly made a treaty with us, and as I heard that they had acted honourably towards Major Brown, when ho so gloriously defended Kahan, I maintained our friendship with this more honest tribe, on condition that they did not give refuge to the other tribes; and they served us faithfully in the hill campaign, which was more than I expected. The reader will bear in mind that when this campaign in the hills ended successfully, and almost without bloodshed, we brought the captive tribes into Sinde. There we gave them fertile lands and also daily pay, till they reaped the fruit of their honest labour on these lands. Every kindness was shown to them to induce them to become industrious, and we succeeded. They did become industrious, and consequently are now com fortable agriculturists, enjoying the fruits of their in dustry, and most of them hold those very lands which they had formerly harried and made des date! In 1645 they destroyed twenty-three villages, the inhabitants of which had been obliged to fly into the interior of Sinde! BOSTON, STAMFORD, AND BIRMINGHAM. The half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at 14, aioorgate-street ; Mr. T. Macaulay in the chair. The report stated that the unexampled and lengthened depression of commercial and monetary af fairs induced the directors to suspend all active opera tions in the progress of the works on this line—a course they had the less hesitation in adopting, since from their peculiarly favourable character they may be complett d in a few months when once commenced with energy. What has been done comprises the setting out and taking of the lines, and the preparation by the engi neer of the working plans. Under these circumstances the directors have had no occasion to make any further call upon their shareholders, and have endeavoured by ali the means in their power to reduce the current ex penditure of the :company ; believing that in so acting they should best consult the wishes as well as the inte rests of the proprietors. They proposed to reduce the number of directors to nine—one resigned and three go out by rotation, but only one offers himself for re election—Captain Laws. The directors also proposed to reduce the amount of remuneration voted to them from 1,200/. to 8001., per annum, and the allowance to the auditors from 201. to 10/. each. The offices in Abingdon-street, which were an expense of 300/. a-year have been given up, and accommodation has been af forded by the Great Northern Company at one third of that amount. It was now very evident that the robbers who had escaped would be forced either to turn to the cultivation of the small valleys among their hills, and not venture to quarrel with us again (especially as the great leader, Baia Khan, was captured), or that they would adhere to their predatory course of life, and, when other and more easily plundered districts to the north, the east, and the DREADFUL FIRE AT THE RED LION, RED LION.. west were exhausted, that they would, under the influence Ty T li destructivei s e morning, h a s r h a o c r t t , l , r y , COURT.—This u a a y . r e .a i f ie tearrloyn attended t t o'clock, w a ith fire a LION of want, push further south across the desert into Sinde.

I have had the pleasure to leave Sindo; secure from external attacks, and with that internal tranquillity which results from conciliatory measures. I beg to observe that no serious or dangerous inroad has been made upon the Scinde frontier, nor indeed has it ever been penetrated since the hill campaign, whereas before that period, and in the days of the Ameers, the hill tribes desolated the country up to the towns of Shi karpoor and Larkbana. The whole land trembled, and was withered under their merciless ravages!

" MAJOR JACOB TO LIEUT.-COLONEL SHAW. " Oct. 2. " Sir,—l have the honour herewith to forward a report from Lieutenant Merewether, commanding at Shapoor, of proceedings with regard to the inroad of the Boogtie tribe, reported by me to you yesterday. Lieutenant Merewether's letter requires no comment; it sets forth distinctly and fully the particulars of the most perfectly successful affair of the kind I have ever witnessed, or heard of—one hundred and thirty-three men killed nearly six hundred enemies (six hundred), and made prisoners one hundred and twenty in two hours' fighting, the enemy resisting manfully the whole time, and obsti nately refusing quarter. Five hundred and sixty dead bodies have been counted, and there are probably more lying about in the jungle. The conduct of Lieutenant Merewether himself has been beyond praise, and shows a rare and most excellent unison of implicit obedience and great military skill, of cool and careful prudence with the most daring courage.: The loss of life on this occasion has been terrific, but it is satisfactory to know that the men slain were robbers and murderers who were the terror of all peaceable persons within their reach, who kept this fine country in a constant state of alarm and disorder, and whose cruelties Wert sometimes fiendish.

COLONEL SHAW, COMMANDING IN UPPER SINDE, TO MAJOR GREEN, ASSISTANT-ADJUTANT- " Sir,—ln handing up this most satisfactory affair for the information of the Brigadier commanding the troops in Sinde, I beg you will inform the Honourable Colonel Dundas, C. 8., that I see but one point on which to differ from the officer commanding the frontier. I think that our former readiness to come to terms with the Boogtie Chiefs Alim Khan and Islam Khan ought to be persevered in ; that readiness rested at all times upon the suitableness of the thing itself, and not upon our power or otherwise to coerce submission. Therefore, now that submission may be considered as a thing coerced, I humbly think that it is for the glory of the British name to make the same terms in circumstances of success, as we were ready to do before such circum stances came into existence. I consider the present to be a fit mament for renewing overtures, accompanied by admonitory remonstrance, pointing out the folly of op position to British supremacy, and I am persuaded that these views are in perfect accordance with the policy of his Excellency the late Governor of Sinde towards the Hill tribes. I deem it almost superfluous to add to Mayor Jacob's remarks upon the dashing exploit, an account of which is herewith forwarded. I rejoice the more at the feat of daring-do, because it is the harbinger of peace to the frontier territories ; it has not dropped as if by a kind of accident into Lieutenant Merawether's lap, but has been the result of long and patient watching upon the part of this most enterprising officer, whose soldiery virtues have been at length crowned by that entire sue. cess at all times to be expected, when the Sinde Horse is engaged, as the natural consequence of the chivalrous gallantry of its officers.—l have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) " M.
