In pursurtnee of that resolution 100,000 shares only have been al lotted, and the cerresponding amount of capital has been fully Paid up. The remaining shares will not be issued until after the General Meeting of Shareholders In the month of June, 1853 ; should the extended operations of the Company then render it desirable to raise additional capital, such further issue of shares will be made as may be resolved upon by the shareholders, who will then entitled to the option of taking at par value a proportionate nuraher of such ' Issue to that which they may hold at that period. v • An agent of the company will leave England for Sydney, on Thursday next, the 30th inst., by the vessel called The Roman Em peror, and it is anticipated that the complete stall, with the neces sary machinery, will be ready to sail by the end of the month of February, The bankers' receipts will he exchanged for certificates of shares en and after 31onday, the 26th inst.

" It having been intimated to us that Mrs. Cumming is desirous of reversing the decision of the jury finding her to be insane since the Ist of May, 1846, we are of opinion that the verdict given by the jury is so manifestly against the evidence, that she is fully justified in insti. tilting all necessary proceedings to traverse the inquisi tion, and submit the case to another jury. " EDWIN JAMES, Q.C. " CHARLES WILKINS, S.L. " THOMAS SOUTHGATE. DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON MILL BY FIRE. A fire, which involved the destruction of a cotton mill, and the loss of u p war d s o f 20,0001., occurred on Saturday evening at M a n c h es t er . T he mill was an old structure, of considerable extent, measuring about 60 yards in length, and 12 in breadth, and running to the height of eight storeys and an attic. It was situate in the bottom of Dickenson -street, St. Peter's-square, and was in the occupation of Mr. James Frost, and others, trading under the title of Thomas Ogden and Sons, a firm name long attached to the mill. They employed between 450 and 500 hands in the manufacture of fine yarns mainly, and some small quantity of low numbers, and these workpeople will now tie out of employ. The cause of the fire was accidental, or at least it is said to be so. A piece of machinery in No. 3 room, driving the first "wheel-house," or pair of " mules," was not working well, and Mr. Frost in the afternoon gave instructions to a mechanic to look to it. The man found that the repairs would take some time, and he was obliged to remain at work after all the hands had quitted the mill, st about four o'clock. Darkness coming upon him before he had finished, he called the watchman of the mill to procure a light, and while they were still at work the watchman let the light drop, and the flame communicating with the cotton about, ha and the mechanic had scarcely time to get out of the room before it was in a blsze. There is, however, some doubt about this account, because mills are cleared out on the Saturday afternoon, and therefore there was no waste—the material which plays so important a part in the rapid combustion of cotton mills—lying about; and besides that, the light is said to have been in a covered lamp. The mill was old, and the floors being fall of oil and dirt, a fire once kindled it spread with an amazing facility. A gentleman who was passing down Brook street saw a glimmer of the fire in the room, and made his way to the place, but before he had traversed the half mile which lay between him and the entrance the fire was bunting out of the windows on the opposite side. This was about ten minutes to six o'clock. An alarm was instantly given, and by six o'clock a fire engine was on the spot, the rest of the Manchester brigade (in all ten engines), two en gines from Salford, and an engine belonging to the Royal Artillery (manned by the military), following quickly; there was an excellent supply of water ; a branch of the Rochdale Canal running on one side of the mill, and the Manchester Corporation Water Works affording a copious quantity, nearly the whole of the engines were,therefore, brought into play directly, and also several branches attachedor high-pressure plugs. N o t with to the hydrates, withstanding the deluge poured into the building on all sides, the fire gained head, and in half an hour it was roofless, and every floor had disappeared the wh o l e length. The end walls, massive towering blocks o f brickwork, remained standing, and were the only portion of the structure entire within about an hour after the devastating element made its a pp earanc e. It wa s , i n • deed, one of the moat rap id and a pp al ling fires Man entire eck wreck. of ec y k a . r Thein cheater ever had. Th e books of the fir m were saved, we believe, also a sma ll quantity of the bundles, but the machin er y i s an e mill and its conte nts are insur e d i n various o ffi ces for 26,000 L, a nd this, we understand, willamply cover the loss.

ALLAN, general secretary, stated that ho wished to call the attention of the council to a document of a somewhat extraordinary nature, which had recently been issued in the shape of a printed c ir cu lar, marked " pri vate and confidential," by the Exec u tive Council of the Employers' Asso c i a ti on, sittint, in Bucklersbury, to their members, and with which he had been that day favoured by an employer whom he believed to be con nected with that association. Mr. Allan then read as "Central Association o f Employers of O p erati ve E ngineers, leers, 30. Bucklersbury, Jan. 20 , 1852. " Dear' Sir,—The Executive Council met hero yester day, and were is full conference from eleven till four o'clock.

"On the 2d of January instant, Mr. Newton, the ringleader of this movement, observed, ' That the men took no notice end felt no excitement on the subject of a o hete el e combination among the employers, kn , g that they did not poss ess th e elements of Como-illation amongst them; but that there was such an ino r di nate love of self that, if a ft er h av ing pledged thems e l ves to one an other to close th e i r w orks, they yet would, on the pro spect of th e s li g h test pecun iary advantage to b e gained, break faith with one another, and throw their pledges and combinations to the winds. The employers as a body cared not one pin for individual honour, or their plighted word, but had sacrified the one and broken the other over and over again.' Upon this calumny the men have built their hopes, and now they find that the mas ters have honourably stood by each other the workmen are beginning to waver, to quarrel amongst themselves, and to seek for reconciliation on the terms of the em ployers. " A little firmness, perseverance , and sacrifice now, by maintaining the present attitude of inaction until some considerable body of the artisans express satisfactorily and unmistakeably their condemnation of the practices which have driven the masters to their present course, will ease the latter, and that permanently, from the futur e of the intolerable dictation to which they have been subjected, and which was in rapid course of leading to further and more peremptory measures of tyranny and exaction on the part of the employed. Where there is a will, the men will find a way of disavowing publicly the practices adopted in their name. All the meetings and speeches of the workmen have been ou one side, and breathe a spirit of triumph and defiance. Until the steady and well disposed call their meetings, and defy the Amalgamated Society, the evil is not cured; and the , em ployers must m a i n t a i n a position which th ey h ave adop te d w i th serious deliberation, and will soon be justi fied by th e i r success if they will only deserve it by a patient continuanc e i n joint inaction, and upholding the good faith th ey have hitherto kept with each other. " I am, dear sir, your most obedient servant, " SIDNEY SMITH." The reading of this circular caused some little merri ment amongst the members of the council, and the gene ral opinion expressed upon the subject of its contents was that the employees evidently regretted the conse quences of the step which they htaken, and found themselves in a position from which they foresaw some difficulty in extricating themselves. Satisfaction was generally expressed at the fact of having obtained pos session of an i m p or t ant document, intended to. be kept secret; the more esp ec i a ll y in ign orance o f t h e proceedings of the employers' coin. singe.as the public were kept quite The council were then occupied by arrangements with regard h eld to the a gg re gate meetin g o f th e i ron trades, to bhe this day at St. Martiu's Hall, and to which it was resolved that the submitted fo llowing resolutions should be 1.

T he (From the Times.) fortnight hn cuuditions oa t fvh theiri s t h d r u 7e v t p n rpa g i t:) t v, o ee r as engineers a s u e 4. i F a n o; ow m o rr o e r j e ou t vo h df a n toh4 n ee largest establishments in this kingdom the peremptory ordinance is observed, that " the engine should be stopped and 'no - productive work carried on." The "Executive Council" ofthe Amalgamated Society declines to withdraw the notices which compelled the stoppage, and as the men profess to uphold them in their decision we can only conclude that they are resolved on the pro. secution of the schemes which rho " Council" have thus commenced, and which in the society's report for De cambee lest they so plainly acknowledge. What pur poses these schemes comprehend, and to what objects they are directed, we have explained so repeatedly, and demonitrated by such unanswerable vouchers, that on this point no more doubts can be sincerely entertained. However reasonable or practical had been the demands in themselves, it would have been absolutely ruinous to the masters to have yielded to a summons so made, so quali fied, and so aimed; but, in point of !set, even these very requisitions which were selected by Mr. Idewtou for the eetnmeecement 'of operations are indafeesible ern in that view in which he hypocritically endeavours to place them. The Council demanded by formal notice served up on empl )yers the ± , ummaryabc, , lition of "ever.iine." Omitcteg, sow,: for a 'nionisrit, , the true signification of this "ad ' dice" in the mouths of Mr. Newton and his colleagues, too will state the whole question on its own merits for die information of reeders, who, often as they have 'itr2rd the expnssion, are, perhaps, not , /et fatly arriz , ,:d of its meaning. Theortlinary working d 47 of au engineer is considered to be tap hours—any time al;teve this ex pended in his master's service p being '• overtime." Oc casionally the employers say to-their - men, "We hai,2 some Work in hand which must be delivered by a certain pried, and which cannot be finished unless you make more than ten hours in your day. Instead of leaving therefore, at six or seven o'clock, you mint stop t:l eight or nine." This is the practice of cvortirnt:' which the masters have been summoned by the Amal. gamated Society to abolish immediately. In consider ing its bearings, the reader must first understand that this overtime is not only paid for, but paid for at a premium. Thus, for instan ce , if! an operative works two hours of an evening overtime, ho gets not only ad ditional wages for these two hours, but they are reckoned to him as two hours and a quarter, showing a bonus or gratuity in his favour of more than 12 per cent. As the employer, therefore, must evidently be a loser by the particular bargain which charges him extra wages for what must, at the close of a hard day's work, be infe rior labour, why, it will be asked, is the practice adopted? The men allege that the custom overtaska the energies of those employed, and, by such an undue con centration of work, keeps other workmen in proportion out of employment. They say that some are surfeited, while others are starving, and in the assumed interest, therefore, of the whole body, they demand the discon tieuance of the practice altogether. On the side of the masters the question takes this Form:—They say that the business of engineering is ex ceedingly irregular and peculiar. They cannot, like other manufacturers, prepare a general stock against a general demand. Their whole occupation is an aggre gate of particular orders, specially given, and in the majority of instances requiring execution and delivery by an appointed time. To perform those orders, if they happen to exceed the ordinary strength of the factory, they must either employ more hands or work their hands extra time. The former of these al ternatives is that now dictated by the " Council," but the masters make a very reasonable statement in reply. They observe that such an increase of hands requires an extension of premises, and that though the men might be dismissed when the emergency had passed, the build ings would still remain, entailing outlay and loss. No manufacturer can be expected to regulate his premises by exceptional instead of average occasions. Even in the interest of the men, too, they point out that the " overtime" system is the safest. Suppose, for instance, an employer keeping 250 workmen to receive an order exceeding by one-fifth the strength of his establishment. He has evidently the option either of employing the men already in his pay one-fifth overtime, or of increasing their number by one-fifth more hands. In the the former ease he works them two additional hours, but in the latter he would be introducing fifty fresh men into the shop and neighbourhood, who must be thrown upon the labour market to glut and depreciate it when the occasion for their ser vices had passed. He argues, therefore, that it is better for the men to execute. if posSible, all the work by the regular strength of the shop than to adopt a system which presumes a body of unemployed operatives, always floating loosely in the market, to be ready against emergencies which may not occur three times in the year. Moreover, it is alleged, in defence of the practice, that it is sometimes absolutely indispensable, inasmuch as only a given number of men can find standing room at the work in hand, so that, if time is an object, it must be made up by the extra labour of individuals. So far, it must be allowed that these arguments are good, and that they do in plain truth convict the demand of the 'Council" for the absolute and summary abolition of a practice often necessary, and rarely without some justi fication. On the other hand, however, it is equally clear that the employer s o f l a b our are under temptations to pervert the expedient by carrying it systematically to excess for the sake of their own gains. It is quite conceivable that a master may maintain premises too small for his average business in reliance on the re source provided by working his establishment overtime, and that the men may be thus too constantly taxed for his benefit or convenience. This, indeed, appears, at first sight, to be the view taken by the remonstrants, for they protest simply against "systematic overtime." When, however, we refer to the explanation given by the " Council" itself, we discover at once that the demand has no such reasonable purport. Mr. Newton and his accomplices maintain, we believe, that in . no case shall overtime be tolerated except on occasion of a break down, and for the aid rendered to the employer in these straits they gener ous l y st i pulate that heshould pay double. The misfortune of the whole case, as Lord Cran worth sagaciously observed, is that, practically speaking, neither masters nor men are left to make their own bar gains. If perfect liberty of action could be secured on both aides there would be no ground left for dispute. Every reader knows from his own experience that a car penter or a bricklayer, or a workman of any sort, can always be found but too glad t o ma k e 7i days in his week by working two hours extra per day. The chance would be considered, as in truth it is in the case before us, a most fortunate privilege by f our men out of five, What the " Council" profess to complain of is that there is no option given, but that a man is forced, at his mas ter's discretion, either to work overtime or to leave his work altogether. This is certainly hard. But, on the other hand, it is perfectly evident that Mr. W. Newton and his " pickets" would never leave a man at liberty to accept the chance before him. It is because they would never permit him to say " yes" that the masters forbid him to say " No." If this destructive control were abo lished, a workman with few calls upon him, with an in clination for self-improvement, or a liking for leisure, might decline overtime work, while it is unquestionable that others with large families, long foresight, or untiring habits of industry, such as we cons t ant l y meet w i th, b would be ready and willing to undertake the duty. But this is the intolerable point of the society's demand. They say, not that any man ought to bo free to decline such work, but that no man shall be free:to take it; and they would prevent John Brown and his employer from working comfortably together because John Smith wants a share in the transaction. We have, then, put the overtime question in a plain light, though, as the reader is aware, no such favoura ble view can be taken of it in the demands of the " Ex ecutive Council." Their object is not to spare work men, but to distribute work; not to modify the dealings between employer and employed, but to force other parties into employment against the desire of both. In this it cmcerned the most vital interests of trade that they should be resisted to the uttermost, but we should rejoice to see that the consequent embarrassments were confined to those immediately culpable. Is it absolutely indispensable that all works should be stopped? Cannot the masters open their establishments to those avowing themselves free to sell their own labour on their own terms? Cannot unskilled labourers and non society men be taken again into employment? We think such an overture might be made, and if it were so, instead of offering the outstanding operatives our own advice, we would refer them to that given by " A Prac tical Mechanic," whose l e tter we p u bli s h this morning. They will there see, as in a looking-glass, the results in which a strike like their own actually ends. As surely as possible their repetiti on o f th e a tt em pt will meet with a repetition of the co n s equences , an d once more, there fore, we urgently advise them to be wise in time.

Cull meets with the approba tion of their Lordships. As a precautionary measure, it is to be presumed the commodore has ordered the Thisbe (the commander's ship) to be removed to the top of the harbour, about three miles from the St. George, Captain Nias's ship. Captain William Ramsay (1838), who has been ap pointed to command! the Magicienne, 16, steam-sloop, Devonport, as superintendent of the reserve squadron at that port, has served afloat about twenty-seven years. He is the youngest surviving son of Sir A. Ramsay, Bart. He entered the navy August, 1809, was midship man of the Eagle, 50, at the capture of Fiume, Trieste, &c., and was made lieutenant 1821. He was lientenant of the Albion, 74, at Navarino; and as first lie u t enant of the D r y a d , 42, commanded the Blackjoke, tender, mounting 1 pivot 18-pounder and a carronade, with 44 officers and men, fell in with, in 1831, and after a long action, boarded, and carried the Spanish slaver brig Marianerito, mounting 5 18 pounders, with 77 officers and men, in complete man-of-war order. Mr. Ramsay was himself severely wounded, and he had one man killed and six wounded. The slaver had 15:killed cr drowned, and four desperately wounded. He was pro moted for this action, and subsequently commanded the Dee, steam-vessel, in the West Indies, for three years. He attained his preser t rank in 1838, and commanded that fine steam-frigate Terrible, from December, 1845, to 1849. Captain the Hon. Swynfen,T. Carnegie (1845), who has been appointed to the Horatio, 22, screw-frigate, Sheer ness, as superintendent of the steam reserve at that port, is grandson of the Earl of Northesk, who died admiral of the white, and son of the seventh Earl of Northesk, who was third in command at Trafalgar. He entered the navy in 1826, and was promoted in 1832. As a lieute nant he served in the Castor and North Star, on the coast of Spain, during the civil war. He was made a com mander in 1838, and commanded the Orestes, 18, and for a short time the Devcstation, steam-sloop; was a Lord of the Treasury for a few months after his last promo tion in 1845. He was M.P. for Stafford. Commander G. Skipwith (1842), who, as we an nounced last week, has been appointed to command the Conflict, 8, screw-sloop, Brazils, vice Drake, invalided, is fourth son of Sir Grey Skipwith, Bart. He entered the Naval College in 1823, embarked in 1825, passed his examination in 1830, and was promoted in 1834. As a lieutenant he served in the Childers, 16, Rodney, 92, and Peoenix, steam-sloop ; and then as second of Sir W. Parker's flag-ship Cornwallis, 72, in China, where he assisted at the taking of Chapoo, Woosung, Shanghai, and Chin-Kiang-Foo, and was present at the signing of the treaty. Was promoted in 1842, and for three years commanded the Hydra, steam-sloop, on the coast of Brand. Lieut. Rigge (1838), of the steam-reserve, as well as Lieut. Stevens, has been appointed to the Magieienne, steam guard-ship, Captain Ramsay. Limit. Stevens, having served as first of a 50-gun frigate, as well as in several other ships, it is anticipated his appointment to the Magicienne, in which, from his seniority, .he must serve as second ; lieutenant, is only a temporary one, and that the Admiralty will soon find some other em ployment more in accordance with his past services.
