Mr. Ald. Humphery had declared that a he had done had been done inadvertently; such being the else if the meeting eho,e, it was competent for it to rescind the resolution, but this he mustsav, that the Directors, instead of de siring the resolution to be adOpted. wished it not to be carried. Mr. STEVENSON, the engineer, thought, in the statements Mr. Ald. Humphery had made with reference to the alterations that had been made, he had entirely omitted the only one that had been suggested by him, and which was adopted ; aid at the tame time he had taken credit to himself for su,ggosting brick walls instead of cast-iron pillars to support the roof, which had been adopted, on the suggestion of Mr. Tite, the architect, and him alone.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. puling the last four months the number carried has been aLout 150,000. With reference to steam-boat traffic, the following facts can not be ton often repeated; namely -Ist. That the distance from the centre of the City to the Blaekwall Railway Terminus in Fenehurch-street, is no further than to the Steam Wharfs at London-bridge. 2d. That in going by Railway instead of the River, a saving is i &dud of, on the average, three quarters of an hour. 3d. That the use of the Railway will whoily obviate the extensive damage to property and loss of life, incurred by acci dents f om steamers in the Pool. Much consideration has been given by the Directors to the subjea of increased fares. But, although the present fares are unquestionably low (perhaps lower than any other Railway in England), the Directors would deprecate any increase, until the present rates have had a fair trial, with the advantages of the extension line. The attention of the engineers has been directed to the preparation; for an extensive goods traffic. Arrangements for the accomplishment of this very desirable object are now in a fir: ward state, and will shortly be brought into operation. The total receipts from passengers' traffic for the past year amount to 32,6501. 13s.

After a few observations from Mr. Salomons and the Chair man. it was proposed and carried that Mr. Rennie be elected to fill the vacant Directorship. The Report was then ordered to be receivedwd adopted. In answer to a question from a Proprietor, Mr. STEVENSON, the engineer, said that the expense of con veying the goods from the docks to the warehouses in Fen church-street, would be only that of the porterage at each end. In the present circumstances of the Railway, the expense of traction would be nothing, or so little as to be inappreciable. In answer to the same Proprietor, the CnAinmAs said, that the charge per ton to the Dock Companies, must depend upon the expense of porterage. It would not be half the expense of waggon carriage.—( Hear, hear.) On the motion of Mr. STOCK, seconded by Mr. Li. WRA NCE, a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors was carried unanimously..

The SPEAKER—My Lord, with the most profound gratitude and respect I submit myself to her Majesty's commands, and it now becomes my duty, in the name and on behalf of the Commons of England, to lay claim, by humble petition, to the free exercise of all their ancient and undoubted rights, mm un iti es' and privileges ; more. es pe c i a lly those - of debate, and freedom from arrest and m s ". :for . their persons and servants, free access to ier Majesty, when occasion may require, and that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to put the most favourable construction on all their proceedings and ac:ions; and for myself, ,my Lord, I have to entreat, that if any errors should be committed, it may be attributed to me and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. BLAcicwALL RAILWAY. The RAILWAY TRAINS run from the NEW TER ' MINUS, Fenchurch-street, and also from the 11inories, Shadwell, Stepney, Limehouse, West India Dock 4, and Poplar - Stations, and from the Blackwall Terminus, every quarter of an hour, from Half-past Eight in the Morning till a Quarter before Ten at Night (except Sundays during Divine Service), viz. from Half-past Ten to One. Fares, First Class 6d. • Second Class 4d. A vote of thanks was also unanimously voted to Mr. The, the architect, and Mr. Stevenson, the engineer; after R hic h he meeting separated. For the present it is probable that the working expenses will not be less than that sum ; but as to the future, the Direc tors have the authority of the engineers for stating that a con siderable saving will be effected in many of the items. Any additional expense attending the carriage of goods, will, of course, depend on the extent of that description of traffic. In conformity with the resolutions adopted at the recent Special General Meeting, held on the ltith of the last month, the Proprietors have had Shares in the new capital allotted to them, according to the numbers held by them in the original capital.

The Speaker then bowed to the Commissioners, and retired Irons the bar. The number of passengers carried on the Railway, during the }ear ending in July last, have been 1,864,756. It is char that a great increase to those numbers is necessary in order to realize the expectations which have been entertained by the Shareholders and Directors. It must be borne in mind that this Railway was estalaished mainly for the steam-boat traffic of the River Thames. Up to the prrsent time, the business of the Railway has arisen chiefly from sources which had either not . been taken into account at all, or from which no such amount was expected as has been derived.

Until very recently, no inroad had been made on the old modes of conveyance. Proprietori may be aware that nut a single steamer has been displaced front the Pool ; nor could it well have been expected, until the extension of the line to Fen church-street had been opened. Aud although the passengers taken by the three boats which have during some portions of the last four months confined themselves to the Brunswick Pier, amount to so many as 140,500, yet these form hut a sinal proportion of the multitudes passing 131ackwall to or from Lon- don-bridge wharfs. Sanguine expectations had been entertained by many that on the opening of the Raaway to the Alinories, the bulk, if not the whole of the steam traffic on the river would have imme diately found its way to the Brunswick Pier. But time must be necessary for the accomplishment of so great a change. Habits have to be altered, and prejudice and conflicting int,•re.ta to be overcome. Steam-vessels have been long connected with the wharfs to which they at present resort; and this connection cannot he severed on the instant. The Lords Commissioner then retired. The Lord Chancellor shortly afterwards re-entered the House and took his seat upon the Woolsack. Several PeerS then went up to the table to take • the oaths. SOLICITOR— William Henry Cotterill, Esq.

The decided advantages offered by the Brunswick Pier, in connection with the Railway, have been demonstrated by the success of the steam-boats on that station, and the Directors entertain no doubt whatever, that the proptietors of stem vessels generally will soon be convinced that it is greatly to their interest; if not absolutely necessary to their self-preserva tion, to proceed no further up the river than Blackwall ; awl, seeing that the traffic yet remaining to be made available to the Railway is most abundant, the Directors continue to have unaba ed confidence in the complete success of the undertaking.

BLACKWALL RAILWAY. The Tenth Half -yearly General Meeting of the Proprietors of the B!ackwall Railway took place on Thursday at the London Tavern. On account of its being understood that Mr. Alder man Humphery would be present in order to explain the cir cumstances under which he had sold certain shares in the Com pany, and in consequence of which he had resigned his seat as one of the Directors, the meeting was attended more nume rously than usual, ROUTII, Esq., upon taking the Chair, slated that the meeting had been convened in the usual manlier for reasons that would be presently stated to them; but the Directors were rather anxious that he should at present avoid making those observations upon the Report which he thought necesssary, in order that they might proceed to the other business for r.hich they had met, and xhich was of great interest to the Directors. He would now, therefore, merely call upon the Secretary to read the Report. The Secretary of the Company then read the following Report : At the last Half-yearly Meeting► the Directors stated their expectation that the works on the extension line from the )li noriei to Fenchurch-street would be completed for traffic in the course of the month of June. , The state of the weather, and some other circumstances, occasioned an unavoidable delay of four or five weeks in the opening, which took place on the 2d of the preent month. The plan proposed by the Engineers of the Company fot working the extension line has been attended with entire success. No impediment of any description has interfered with the perfect accomplishment of all that had been antici pated ; and the Directors venture to state, without fear of contradiction, that as a work of science of a very high order, it needs only to be seen to be admired. With equal confidence do the Directors regard it as a work of great utility to the public, and of advantage to the Proprie tors. In the arrangements of the terminus at Fenchurch street, every attention has been paid to the convenience and comfort of passengers; and ample space, the want of which was much felt at the rilinories Station, is provided fur any in creased amount of traffic. All possible consideration has at the same time been given to the protection of the publi c , an d to the prevention of annoyance to the neighbou r h oo d. The experience of a twelvemonth has d one muc h towar d s bringing the working of the Railway to a state of perfection ; and if the peetiliar mode of traction adopted on this Railway yet admits some alight improvement, the Directors are able to state, as well upon the authority of their Engineer?, as from the most minute attention and anxious consideration they have themselves given to the subject, that the time is not remote when any existingdefects will be entirely removed. The adoptisn of the Wire Rope has been attended with com plete success. It has never broken although sonic portion has been in use for twelve months. In working the whole line with Wire Rope, care has been deemed necessary in watching the effects pr. dined upon it, and the Eng:neers have therefore advised that it should proceed gradually ; but they are satisfied that ere long the Hemp Rope will be wholly removed from the line, except so far as a small portion may be requireirto afford the necessary elasticity in starting the trains. When this is accomplished, a great reduction in the annual expenditure, as compared with the Hemp Rope, will be effected. The association for the formation of a Company for running steam-boats between the Terminus of the Railway at Black wall and Gravesend, in the establishment of which your Direc tors have taken the greatest interest, has been eminently suc cessful in its proceedings. Three vessels have been built ex pressly for this station, namely, the Railway, the Brunswick, and the Blackwall, all of the highest character for accommoda tion and speed. In the last four months, during the greater part of which time only two of these boats were running, they have carried 140,500 passengers. By starting from the Brunswick Pier at Blackwall, steam boats are able to make the passage each way in an hour and ten minutes with, and an hour and three quarters against, the tide ; and, by making six trips during the day with each boat, the owners are enabled, with beneit to themselves, to charge fares less by one-third, than the boats which go up to London bridge. The advantages to be derived from this pl an b ecame at once obvious to the - Proprietors of those favourite boats the Father Thames and Sons of the Thames, who have accordingly made arrangements with the Railway C nnpany for the use of the Brunswick Pier, at which these boats now call en every trip. So that a communication between Gravesend and Blackwell is now kept up every half-hour during the mornings and evenings, and every hour during the middle of the day. The great success which has attended the experiment of pro viding boats for the Brunswick Pier station entitles the Direc tors to urge the Shareholders in the strongest manner to assist both in the prosecution and extension of the enterprise, by con tributing towards the requisite capital, in the mode which has been already submitted to them.

On the subject of those charges he had nothing to add to what ke stated at the I:st meeting. On that occasion, in answer to a question put to him by a gentleman then present, he stated that it had come to the knowledge of the Directors that Mr. Alderman Hum phery had sold shares in the Company of which he was nst possessed, that this had led to afiiscussion among the Board of irectors, which had resulted in the resignation of 31r. Alder man Humphery. This information was given to the last meet ing, and Mr. Alderman Humphery had since that rime pub lished a paper, in which he reflected on the character of his colleague. Since that time the Secretary of the Compny had published a letter, stating that the Directors repudiated all the charges which Mr. Alderman Humphery had brought against them. What, therefore, the Directors first proposed to do was to give Mr. Alderman Humphery an opportunity to enter into an explanation, not only of his own conduct, but of the reasons which had induced him to make the charges he had done against others.—( Cheers. ) _ _ Mr. CIRAWSHAY said that, as his name had, been mixed up in the transaction to which the Chairman had alluded, he trusted he should be allowed to state how far he was "concerned in it. He claimed to be allowed to state the whole transaction, both with respect to himself, and also:to Mr. Alderman Humphery, as he thought it was but fit, before they legislated upon any subject, that they should be perfectly aware of it. Hitherto a great deal had been stated and published with respect to these transactions, which are highly derogatory to the character of Mr. Alderman Humphery. But the meeting must bear in mind that those statements and assertions must still remain to be proied. It was stated that not only had Mr. Alderman Humphrey dealt in 100 shares, but that he hail sold many hundreds, and that he had done so for the purpose of reducing the property of the Shareholders. Now he (Mr. Crawshay), after having made every inquiry, was quite convinced Mr. Alderman Humphery had not sold more than the hundred shares. The real nature of the transaction was this—Mr. Al. derman Humphery had come to him, and had asked him if he would sell him a hundred shares at nine discount. He (Mr. Crawshay) expressed his surprise that Mr. Alderman Hum• phery should make such a request, observing to him, that he could obtain them in the marks tat 10 discount. In making this statement, he (Mr. C.) wished the meeting to understand that he was anxious to do justice:to an individual whom he con. sidered to have been dealt with rather too harshly. Upon his making the statement that Mr. Ald. H umpherycould get the shares at 10 discount, Mr. Alderman Humphery observed, " Never mind, I will give you 1,6001. for a hundred shares, as I eannot get, them in the market to-day ;" and he said he would also give him (Mr. Crawshay) the calls for a hundred shares more that day month, at the same price. He (Mr. C.) then asked Mr. Alderman Humphery if he should have any ohjection to the subject being mentioned to Mr. Routh, to which he said hehad not; and ultimately, after Mr. Routh had been made acquainted with the subject, he (Mr. Crawshay) declined to sell or bu That was the whole transaction between him and Mr. Alder. man Humphery. As he had said before lie had been told that Mr. Alderman Humphery had sold hundreds of shares, when he fii mly believed the fact to be, from all the inquiry he had made, that he had only sold one hundred shares. Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY assured the meeting that he thanked his friend Mr. Crawshay for saying what 'could not be elucidated by anything that might fall from him (Mr. H.) It had been' said that he had sold some hundreds of shares to injure the Company. But the fact was, as they had heard, that he had sold no more than the hundred which of they had just been told; and these he certainly would not have sold if he understood at the time the real nature of what he was doing. However, his only reason for doing so was that he saw he never could have an opportunity again of getting so much money for his shares. —( Hear, and a laugh.) It had 'been said in the papers that he had sold shares.again and again, until be brought down the shares to 11 discount. But he affirmed solemnly that the t• ansaction which had been ex plained, was the only one he had ever been concerned in, either in buying or selling shares. He never had had any shares in any Joint Stock or • Railway Company before this in his life.—(Hear, hear.) It was stated in one of the railway newspapers that a meeting of the Directors Was called for the purpose of taking this transaction into consideration. That was not the fact, for the conversa tion on that subject took place at the regular meeting of the Directors on the Tuesday, and he owned then that he had sold his shares, and, therefore, must at once resign his seat ; at . the same time denying that he had sold them for the pur peso of depreciating the property of the Company, in which he had a deep interest, and which he had done everything in his power to promote. He then read a letter from the Secretary, dated 16th October, 1840, requesting him, in the name of the Directors, to put his name to a promissory note for 10,0001., which had been signed by all the Directors. He did sign the note, and could he want to depreciate the pro perty when be had incurred so large a liability? Mr. Salo mon's sad in.his published letter, that the funds were furnished by the influence, responsibility, and means of the Directors. gut Mr. Salomons was not one of those who signed the note. (Cries of " Question, question.") Mr. Se LOMONS said he was not one of the Directors at the time.—( Hear, bear. ) Mr. Hu al PHIS RY—lt was said that every one who was liable had security, but he (Mr. H.) had no security whatever. Mr. SA LOMO NS would discharge the worthy Alderman from all liability at once.—( Hear.) Mr. CRAWSHAY said that every person engaged in such concerns as this must incur Lability ; and he, as Chairman of another Railway Company, was liable in large amounts, but with such security, as we understood, as lett him no reason to care about it. But others might not wish those matters to be made known, and it might be injurious to them. But at all events this topic had nothing to do with the present subject, and the diseussion seemed to be highly inconvenient.— ( Hear.) Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY only wished to show that he was liable, and .that his property was liable to the amount of 47,000/. For however well off the other persons might be, every man was liable to casualties, and it was possible that the whole loss might fall upon one men.---(Cries of " Oh, oh," and laughter.) He had never trafilicked in shares.—(" You sold them.") Every man had a right to sell if he bought, and -she •Comtesn.y wouldise very ,much obliged to a man who should buy . up a 1 their s h ares at 8 cliscomit - , and ooze th em a ll oa t again, lien he got them up to a premium of 3 per cent. Mr.Crt A WsltA v said it was clear that the Alderman had sold shares which he aid nor possess ; for there it was in his own handwriting, when he made the acknowledgment to him— (Mr. C.) in the presence of the Chairman—(Hear, hear. ) " But," continued the Proprietor, " If there is nothing against you but this, 1 think that I have fully explained it."—(Cries of " Hear, hear.) Mr. Alderman Elvatestrav said that he did not know at the time that there was anything irregular in what he did. He had never sold a share before, and he had never sold one sinew. No man could be surprised that he was irritated at the man ner in which he was assailed. No sooner was the resolution censuring him passed, than a paper, capable of the worst con struction, accompanied by an anonymous letter, was sent to every one of his constituents ; and a paragraph of the mast in jurious kind was sent to all the papers in Dublin to meet him at the Docks as soon as he landed. Mr. CRAWSHAY--Yoll know that was not done by the Di rectors, but by a political party who got the information from the newspaper reports of the meeting. H u 311.11EitY had not, however, read the specific charges against hint until his arrival in London, and he wrote the letter in the newspapers the sane day. It was under those circum stances of irritation, ha said Mr. Salomons and others had calls in arrear. He now repeated that statement. He left London on a Tuesday, having, on the Saturday before, seen the ba lance-sheet, in which it appeared that there were upwards of 20,000/. in arrear, of which the greatest part was in the name of Mr. Salomo;.s. But that gentleman, in his published letter, said, that " up to the day of the last meeting (when the reso lution against Alderman Hu m ph er y was passed), no shares had been forfeited, and the arrears were inconsiderable, of which no part were upon the shares of a Director." That might be the case upon the day named by Mr. Salomons, but the fact was, on the day to which he (Mr. H.) alluded, precisely as he had stated.--,-( Great interruption, and cries of " Name by whom.") Mr. Salomons had said, t hat his statement was untrue.—( Hear, hear, from Mr. Salomons.) Then the papers ought to be pro duced, which would show whether he was right or wrong.— ( Hear, hear.) He next came to the charge that the Dim tore had voted 5001. to one of their own body for expenses incurred by him in obtaining the Act of Parliament. He (Mr. Humphery) opposed that vote ' • but he said at the same time that if pait at all it ou g ht t o be paid out of the fees of the Directors, which latter, however, he had always contended ought never to be . paid until the line was opened. His opposition on that occasion had caused great hostility to him, which was still continued. Mr. CR.AWsHAY asked the worthy Alderman whether as a plumber of Parliament he was not aware that, in getting Bills passed through Parliament, expenses were wisely and expe diently and honestly incurred, which it would be most incon venient to specify in detail ?—( Hear, hear.) Mr. HUMPHERY knew that was the case, and if he was not very pure himself, he could not appear there that day to defend himself.—( A laugh.) He had heard that a great deal of money laid out in the progress of Railway Bills amongst Members of both Houses of Parliament.—( Hear and laughter.) Mr. CRAWSHAY must be allowed to bear testimony to the exertions of the Director alluded to (Mr. Robertson), who had expended much more than the 5001., which, however, was paid out of the fees of the Directors —(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN requested that Mr. Alderman Humphery would be allowed to make his explanation, and when that gen tleman had done, he would correct him in some points in which he was unintentionally misleading the meeting.—( Hear.) Mr. II tiallslielte could not have insisted that the 5001. should be paid to Mr. Robertson out of the fees of the Directors, for nothing else was ever proposed by anybody, or even thought of. ( Hear.) It was. as always intended, paid out of the fees, and the vouchers were now in the room. Mr. Alderman Hu Arrit ERA" said the only fair way would be to appoint a Committee of Gentlemen, who had not been Di rectors, to examine the vouchers.—(Cries of •‘ Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") Ever since his last election he had found that he was not paid that attention to which he wa. entitled. The Hon. Alderman then went into a lengthened detail of altera tions in the plans of the engineers, and in the materials to be used, which he had suggested and which had ultimately been adopted, after his suggestions had been rejected, with great slight to himself by the Board and the engineers. He then proceeded to denounce as unprofitable and hazardous to the Company, the arrangement which had been made with the East and West India Dock Companies for the use of the Black well Wharf and Pier, from which he said the Dock Companies could, whenever they pleased, shut out the traffic of the Railway. (Laughter end cries of " Oh, oh.") The greatest care was necessary in the management of that Railway Company's concerns. The East and West India Docks were certain to be greatly benefited by the Railway in the carriage of their goods—(Cheers)—but time would show whether the interests of the Railway had been as well secured, and its affairs as well attended to. Before he sat down he must observe, that it was rather extraordinary that this meeting should have been called—he had no doubt un knowingly—for the very time when he was engaged to be present in another place—the House of Commons. In conclu sion, he assured the meeting that he always felt, and still did feel, the strongest interest in the prosperity of the Company ; and if he had unwittingly done anything which could tend to injure it, he would make amends by doing it great good.— ( Hear, hear.) Mr. RENNIE said that he had proposed the resolution at the last meeting respecting Mr. Humphery, because he thought his conduct, in selling 100 shares he did not possess, was highly improper, especially on the part of a Director. He should feel very happy, if the Hon. Alderman had exonerated himself in the judgment of the meeting. Mr II e EMI wished to make a few observations upon what had fallen from Mr. Alderman Humphery. And, in the first place, he could assure him, with sincerity and truth, that the fact that he had engagements elsewhere (alluding to the meet ing of Parliament), was not known to the Directors. With reference to the promissory note, to which Alderman Hum • phrey had alluded, lie could assure him and the meeting that its amount was amply secured, that security being the future cads of the Company.—(Cheers.) With respect to the surplus of capital of the Company, he was sure it would be satisfac tory to the Proprietors, when he stated that he and his brother Directors were satisfied that they would have ample the ,g r risk o e f a tproj requiringctt efyo further r i n view ad ftroo itsfrom the full v S m h e a ae r 'n e "t h 'o o f l w d el e at r hr s r L u. tn ( gt C h h eli t e ) As to the anonymous letter that had been referred to by the worthy Alderman, he could assure him that the Directors had no knowledge of it. Then, as to Mr. Salomons' letter, and the fact of his not paying his calls, it was necessary that- he should state the circumstances under which Mr. Salomons had become a Shareholder. About a year ago that gentleman had formed an opinion that the pre sent railway would be a profitable concern; and the Directors having 750 shares undisposed of, Mr. Salomons proposed to purchase them at 2/. premium. The Directors consideed this an advantageous offer, upon the clear under standing that Mr. Salomons was to pay for those shares, and the calls upon them, at his perfect convenience. It was true that Mr. Salomons, at the time alluded to, had not paid his calls upon those shares, but he hadmade arrangements fur so doing. If, therefore, Mr. Alderman Humphery had bean aware of that, he would not have made it a charge against Mr. Salomons. Then, as to the 5 00/. th a t h a d been alluded to ; that had been paid out of the Director's fees, and any Pro prietor that chose might satisfy himself of that fact by looking to the books. As to the proprietybiassinabiassing of of that g ran t, h e was him self satisfied that it was an in a d equate remune ration—(Cries h h t ea o r p " o ) o —a th n e d, as o p f ro t o h f e of las t tßhialtl, through would Parliament, the gentleman to whom that s e lf ra f o t o e ' s ' o th s ila is e , o r f ta grant had been made had been subject to some considerable that he should giv e t h em an account of those expeniesi expenses. The Dire c t ors were aware of that, and were anxious which he declined to do. Mr. Humphery had enacted to the private letter written by Mr. Stevenson to himself (the Chairman). He had also alluded to the wharf at Blackwell being the pro perty of the East and West India Dock Compani and said such was th e f act ; but the Railway Company had a lease of that wharf at 600/. a-year for ever.—(Cheers.) That he thought w as as near to actual possession as could be. Mr. Alderman Hu:strifeless wished to know whether it was let as a wharf upon which they could land goods. The CHAIRMAN—his a wharf for the landing of passengers. Mr. Alderman Hymeneal. - wished to know whether they could employ it as -a wharf independent of the East and West India Dock Company ? If they could not, it was useless to them. The CHAIRMAN said that it was left to them for the pur pose of landing passengers, at 600/. a• year. As to the up train goods, it was true that the Docks would derive advan tage, which, for his own part, he trusted they would do, because, as the Railway could not carry goods for nothing, there was a source of revenue to the Railway Company from that. Having made these statements, there was one thing which he must observe upon generally, and that was this—Mr. Alderman Humphery had complained that he had not been well treated at the Board, that he had been alighted, and that he had not been heard. Now he (the Chairman) must give a positive de. nial to that. lie had been heard most fully; it was true that in some meetings discussions were carried to too great a l en gth, and then it sometimes became the duty of the Chair man to call parties to order. He (the Chairman) might have f e lt himself called upon to call the worthy Aldermantoorder, but i n doing so, of this he was certain, that he bad never given a preference over Mr. Alderman Humphery to any other person As to the statement that Mr. Alderman Humphery had been voted out of the Directot ship, for the purpose of making room for him, the Chairman, Ike., he had only to say this, that it was true that the vacancy bad been filled up by his son; and he be lieved he might say that there was no person who felt more than. Mr. Alderman Humphery did the necessity of his son being a Director.—( Cheers.) But it was quite wrong to say that Mr. Alderman Humphery had been ousted for that pur. pose ; for the truth was, that when the necessity was felt of one of the Directors going out to make room for his son, a At the Tenby Races, on Wednesday, the Sweepstakes, with 201. adled, were won by Mr. Henderson's Greedy Sam . ; the Trades Cup by Mr. Griffiths's Smolensk° ; and the last rate by Mr. Thomas's Old Puss.

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES.--The, arti ficial aid afforded to the Sight by Lenses, is one of the roost valu able gifts derived from science, and it is indeed of ♦ital importance that theadoption of Spectacles t• imperfect vision, should be regu lated cn proper principles. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Al bemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, having devoted their whole lives to this branch of Science, and their long extensive practice ha►e enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction, which have gained universal approbation. Immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candle-light, that. mist and dullness which appear bcfsre the eyes is at once removed,. every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most: aged imperfect right becomes bright and brilliant, and is, brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Their Invisible Operative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is not the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex_ treme cases of deafiiess. Those valuable inventions have also gained the Patronage of the Royal Family, and the unqualified approbation of above four hundred of the principal members of the medical profession, and numerous individuals of high distinction wbo have been greatly benefited by their use.—No connexion with persona of the same name. 39, Albemarle-street, opposite the York Hotel and 76, King Willianustrect, Bank of England.
