An Extraordinary General Meeting cf the Propr.e tors of the above Company was held yesterday, pur suant to adjournment, at the office of the Company, 20, John-street, Adelphi, for the purpose of providing means to pay off' the liabilities of the Company, and to adopt such proceedings in law or in equity as might ap pear desirable. It will be recollected, that at the last meeting of the Proprietors of the Company, a Report of their pro ceediags to that time was submitted to them, which Re port had been drawn up, on the authority- of the present acting Directorl, by Mr. Ashurst, their solicitor ; hut the Proprietors, considering that this Report was - but an ex parte statement of' facts, objected to its reception until it had been inspected by a Committee of their body, and a Report made thereon, and, in conse quence, a resolution was carried to that effect, and a Committee appointed. An adjournment was then moved, in order to carry this resolution into effect, and the pre sent meeting was convened fur the purpose of hearing the result of examination of the Report of the Com mittee of Proprietors. Mr. Cnoemow, having been proposed, took the Chair, and read several letters from Dr. Veesy and Mr. English, of the Mining Journal. The letter from Dr. Veesy (:as an authority to the Chairman to act as his proxy at that meeting. Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood read another ,letter, purporting to be written by Dr. Veesy, appointing him as his proxy ; and some discus sion arose in consequence of the letters being in a dif ferent handwriting, and questioning the authenticity of the same. Mr. Alderman T.Woon then rose, and said he should not have made the complaint he was about to do, but that it was due to the meeting to state in what position they stood, and how persons who really meant to meet the question in dispute fairly were attempted to be run down by exparte statements. He alluded to a placard „which was being hawked about that very street.- ivkitt• liaktkiiini tii - corlid' front th# 'office-of Mr. English of the Mining Journal. He said happened, be ' cause the bills were published at his (Mr. English's) offiei , . Mr. English was at their former meeting as a reporter, and in hi s re p orts o f t h e i r proceedings thought proper to pass some.very severe strictures on him (Mr. Wood) ; and. not content with that, he made a sort of epitome of what had been reported in another place with respect to their proceedings. He (Mr. Wood) had great respect for the press, and he thought that no respectable member of it would have taken such a proceeding as that to which he alluded. He would ask, if there was any person present representing Mr. English, whether the proceedings he had alluded to with regard to the placard, were their instructions. He had questioned the man carry ing the board as to the parties who had sent him there, and he stated that he was placed there at the-instance of that Company, and sent from that office. He put it to any gentleman whether they thought it proper that any one should be run down by statements of this sort, just to prejudice the public mind before any tribunal had made a proper investigation. He thought it was not fair, and he begged to ask if any gen tl eman present repre sented Mr. English ? [The placard to which the worthy Alderman alluded was one carried by a - man up and down John-street, ing on liveryinen of the City to withhold their votes from Mr. Alderman Wood, in consequence of his con duct with respect to the Talacre Coal Company.] The CitAxamast rose to proceed with the- busineSs of the day, when WOOD said he (lid not think such conduct was at all courteous, and begged to have an answer to his question. The R*porter to the Mining Join- sal—lt is not cus tomary foc reporters to speak at public meetings. Mr. SIIEWBRIDGE said he asked the man with the placard whO placed him there ! and he said, the Talacre Coal Company. • Mr.,TAYLOR begged leave to say, that there was no truth whatever in the statement ; and, with regard to Mr. English, h e (M r . T ay l or ) would declare that he had never seen him in his life, except when he came as a reporter at the last meeting. The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, we have a good deal of business. Mr. WOOD did not want to interrupt the business at any time, but when he had asked a question he did think IV! was entitled to an answer, unless it was meant that there should. be no fair play. The CHAIRMAN said, he was not aware of any placard. A PROPRIETOR —What have we to do with the pla card? Surely the Company is not . answerable for the placards about the streets ? The CHAIRMAN—Are we to proceed to business ? Mr. WOOD said he should move that the placard he had alluded to was not issued on the authority of the Company, and therefore the Secretary . do order the man away. - The SECRETARY then left the room for the purpose of ordering the man away, but returned with the intelli gence that the man reused to obey his order, and the subjcpt dropped. • The CHAIRMAN then rose to read a paper he held his hand, when Mr. WIRE said—What are you about to read? The CHAIRMAN —A. report of Messrs. Chappilow, 'Tay lor, and Handiside. Mr. WxnE—l shall protest against the reading of that report, as I understand the business of this adjourned meeting is to hear the report of of the Committee, and I am informed by you that you are about to read a report —not of the Committee, but simply a report from three gentlemen who were members of that Committee, and as that is the most irregular thing that was ever done at a public meeting, I cannot allow it to proceed. Mr. ASHURST—AL that Committee there was no Chairman, and they wero about to report to you in the way proposed. Those gentlemen who were present at that Committee were not desirous that the two reports should bo read at that meeting, and this report merely states that fact, and nothing more. It was, therefore, to report to you that three gentlemen out of five who were present were desirous that the two reports should be read to you. Air. RAWSON said it was fifteen days since their for mer meeting, and, from circumstances which had trans pired, they had not had time to digest the original Re ' port in a way that they could wish. He should like to have come prepared with a Report from the Committee. He begged leave to suggest that the first subject of the Committee should be to raise a subscription among the 'Shareholders, and liquidate their debts; for if they de layed doing this they would be all ruined. Mr. IlunnoucHs said they could not expect any man to come forward with money when ho did not know what that money was to be applied to. He thought the beSt way would be first to ascertain what their real debts were. The CHAIRMAN then read the paper first alluded to, which stated that the original Report had been read to the Committee, and that Alderman Wood and Mr. Wil liams did not concur in the Report. Mr. Wm: said if parties would come forward and subscribe, he had no doubt that in a short time they would be able to get out of their difficulties. Mr. Wild of Nottingham, would come forward and advance 2,0001.; Mr. Southern, 500/. ; Alderman Wood, 500/.; and, with the assistance of th e D u bli n S hareholders, he thought a sufficient sum might soon be raised. Mr. Woof) concurred in the view taken by Mr. Wire. He had felt so Much anxiety of mind with regard to this Company, that nothing should induce him to continue in it longer. As far as ho was concerned, his situation had been a responsible one ; and he solemnly declared that he had never, directly or indirectly, received one farthing of the Company's money, or any benefit in the most re mote degree. lie was, therefore, extremely happy to concur with Mr. Wire, for he thought his view of the case was that which would bring the Company to a satis factory termination. A long and desultory conversatiou then arose upon this proposition, throw hout which there was a continual bondying of personalities, and great confusion was the necessary consequence. S.veral Proprietors suggested that the oeiginal Repor be read, and Mr. WEsTom said, that if that Report was read, he had only one suggestion to make, and that was, if they went into the Report they must make up their minds to sit there till eight o'clock at night. B u t h e h oped thatif that Report were read every individual in i:iat roo:n would pledge himself to remain and hear the other Re port. Ile was sure that before they got through the Report of Mr. Ashurst the patience of the gentlemen would be exhausted. But if th e y would go through both Reports, or the original Report, and the answer, he said read them, with all his heart. Mr. Wool, had no objection to the Report being placed in the Proprietors' hands, but he had to its being read in a public meeting like that. Tile CHAIRMAN would recommend that both Reports be read, in order that every Shareholder might hear both sides of the question. Mr. SHEWBRIDGE rose and he wished to speak to that question. The CHAIRMAN —Please to sit down, Sir. You are not a Shareholder. - Mr. SHENYBRIDGE—I am seri - moiled to this meeting. and hold two descriptions of shares. • I have been heard once, and I will be heard again.—(Confusion.) I know I am perfectly in order. Mr, Woan—l hope Mr. Shewbridgd will see that it is not right to interrupt the proceedings of the meeting. . Mr. SIIEWBRIDGE rose amidst very general confusion. and said with muc h energy—l rise to expedite them. hear di scuss i ons i n several parts of the room, and if am not in order, I don't know who is. I rise toi shares.

This lasted for a i ou but Mr. Shewbridge was about to speak, to veto,Mr. ATKINS said—You have no right Mr. SIIEWBRIDGE—I have as Intioh right to vote as you have, Sir.—(Uproar.) The CIS IPV:).- 1 : hope gentlemen will not go into pex4onalitles this way. A PROPRIETOR—Mr. Atkins, state your case. Mr. ATKINS, looking at Mr. Shewbridge—No, it would be rather too black. Here several groups again collected, and the meeting presented a scene of unalloyed confusion. After a wan dering tlf,sultory conversation, Mr. Rosso moved, " That it be referred to the 1 / 2 EN 1 N (31 SUN. 0:1h1111uet! to examine into the state of the C91P. ,441 ,Y , nd to ascerta i n what are the liabilities of th e :10.1‘, dl.;- introi.hing between the just claims and those consi forect ttnju it, with power to call t'" ,l nia)• be deemed ne;:e.s!iary, a;:d it t in•toey they can froza the and that trustee 3 be appo:ia(.l to itcei-,e ell money; and such Counni ttee be al,:o towy,ottlikr:lo ascer ain and report what steps are r:c.:ces.aryWic-' ", _, solve the Comp an y ; and that this moeting bd. journcd to the 13th October, at one o'clock precisely; that Messrs. Taylor and Rosson be appointed the Com- mittee, assisted by Messrs. Ashurst and Wire. Mr. TAYLOR then moved as an amendment that the original report be read ; but, after a short conversa tion, the amendment was withdrawn and the motion was carried. The meeting then adjourned at about half-past three o'clock _ - PRESENTATION OF TIIE NEW SHERIFFS. Yesterday, agreeably to ancient custom, the newly elected Sheriffs fur the City of London and county of Middlesex, were presented in the Court of Exchequer fur her Majesty's approval. The Civic procession, composed of the 'Lord Maylo, Alderman Gibbs, Alderman John Johnson, Aldermen Lainson, Sir Chapman Marshall, the Recorder, the past and present Sheriffs, accompanied by the officers of oho Corporation, arrived at W es t m in s t er H a ll shortly before three o'clock, and immediately proceeded to the Court of Exchequer. The Ctrawrott 'BARON (Geo. Bankes, Esq.), having taking his seat on the Bench, The RECORDER said—Mr. Baron Bankes, I have the honour to present in this Court for her Majesty's appro bation, Mr. Alderman Magnay and Alexander Rogers, Esq., who have been e l ec t e d b y t h e unan i mous voice of their fellow-citizens to fill the high ap-dl - :roortant offices of Sheriffs of London and Sheriff of Middlesex for the year ensuing.

As regarded the late Sheriffs, their year of office was ended. They had abund antly fulfilled all the expectations that %yore formed of them, and they now retired with the thanks and best. wishes of their fellow-citiz-ns.

The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices are such as result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity, the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe riod of thirty-five years. At the present time so many establishments exist, vicing with each other in the profession of benefits to the public. which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to thousands of industrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages which have been realised by these Offiees. The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all claims with promptitude ind liberality, but has, foes its first establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These amount at the present time to 125,0001. The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be judged of by the following Table. SEWERS of WESTNIINSTER and PART of MIDDLESEX.

The defendant still refused to let bun get down, and drove on to the City, and on arriving at the top of Ludgate-hill, witness saw a police man, to whom he related the whole of the facts, and all Parties then went to the station-house. , City Pulice.constable 365 confirmed the latter part of the complainant's statement. In answer to the charge the defendant stated, that in consequence of the complainant's refusing to pay him a shilling, the amount of his fare, and also refusing to give his card, he certainly did drive him further than Bond street„but his object in doing so was to seek the assist ance of a policeman, in order to obtain the complainant's address. The complainant had no occasion to have gone further than the corner of Coventry-street, but might have alighted there if he had thought proper. Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had no right what- • ever to take the complainant a step beyond the place *here he desired to be set down. The defendant—l detained the gentleman in order to • procure his proper fare. He (complainant) was intoxt- eatod-at- tit° timei'undAiMMot-know_ what he was aboet. The police constable stated, that the complainant ap peared to be perfectly sober at the time, and gave pre cisely the same version of the affair when he was at the station-house. • - Mr. JARDINE said the defendant had committed a most °Toss assault upon the complainant, and that without the slightest jtistitication. He had no business whatever to make a prisoner of the complainant, which it was clear he had done, or convey him . one step beyond the spot he had desired to be set down at. If the complainant had refused to pay his proper fare, legal means should have been resorted to to'obtain it. The public must be pro tected against such outrages. He should therefore order the defendant to pay a fine of 405., or in default be com mitted to the House of Correction fur 14 days. The defendant was locked up. • - WORSHIP-STREET. MISTAKEN IDENTlTY.—Elizabeth Garrahan, a very neatly-dressed and good-looking Irish girl, who had b een twice-remanded o n a charge of having stolen a quantity -•of plate and other property from the dwelling-house of a lady named Davis,. in Old-street-road, was finally placed at the :bar, - before- Mr. Bingham. The only evidence in support of the charge was ad- . duced by Sarah Newman, the prosecutrix's servant, a girl fourteen years of age, who stated that the prisoner came to her mistress's' house on pretence of inquiring after a situation, and,. being left alone, carried off con siderable property. She met- the prisoner in the street some days afterwards and gave her into custody. The prisoner emphatically asserted her innocence, and implored the Magistrate not to allow her former iniscon duct to operate against her, as she had pledged the pro perty to preserve her from perishing for want. (It ap peared she had • pledged some property of the person with whom she lodged.) ()um. ed.) She had e nd ear Ito pro curets a subsistence by working at her needle, but was Un able to obtain employment, and she had Out a friend 'in the world to whom site could turn for assistance or sympathy. The gAGISTFcATE expressed his reluctance. to commit the priooner - for trial on the unsupported testimony of so y,eung.a witness, and he remanded her for a week, in orsler that further inquiries might be made respecting her. The prosecutrix was now in attendance with the wit ness, Sarah.,Newinan, and the latter remained unshalie.i is her belief that the prisoner was the culprit. BINGHAM said that the case strongly illustrated the necessity of extreme caution being exercised in giving evidence as,to identity. He had caused inquit:es to be made, and ascertained, that on the thy of the rob bery the prisoner was in. confinement at the House of Correction, her term of imprisonment for il!egally pledging her landlord's property not having then ex - pirbd. He should now di sc h arge h er, and he recom mended the prosecutrix to make her some compensation for the foriaight's imprisonment she had undeset Jed ly suffered. The prOSecutrix acceded to the Magisteate's wish,. and preseated'a sovereign to the prisoner, to which the Ma g:sifate added ss. ; and the poor girl expressed herself sincerely thankfalfor the money. THAMES-OFFICE. Yesterday a party of emigrants, eleven in number 'rom Stroud, in Gloucestershire, waited on Mr. I3allan- The, to complain of the conduct of the people connected with the ship Himalaya, Henry Burn commander, then on her way down the river to Port Philip and Sydney. It appeared, from the statement of the emigrants, that their passage was engaged on board the Himalaya, and they went into the St. Katharine's Dock about 11 o'clock, as the ship was about to get under way, and were told they could not come on board then, and must wait a little while, although there was no reason why they should not have gone on board at once. Soon after wards the ship began to haul out of the dock, but no notice was taken of them, nor were they allowed to enter the ship. They then went round to the lock entrance to meet the ship as it was coming out, and upon the swivel bridge being opened, the vessel remained in the lock some time, close alongside the quay, and they could easily have stepped on board. and were preparing to do so, when they were forced back by the Captain and others, who used the most gross language towards them, and declared they should not come on board until the ship reached Gravesend. A married woman with herchild was, however, assisted on board by a relative, and had no sooner got upon deck than she was rudely assailed, and a man laid hold of her, dragged her along with brutal violence, and forced her outside the ship. She stood upon the rail and clung to the rigging, screaming violently, while the fel lows upon deck, - unmindful of her perilous situation, en deavoured to shove her back upon the pier, and one man held up her child with the intention of throwing it to the people on the quay, who hissed, hooted, groaned, and called out " Shame, shame 1" A scene of the greatest confusion ensued, in the midst of which the ship made a sheer off, rendering the situation of the woman still more perilous. The Captain then called out, " Let her stop, I'll serve them out for it," and she was dragged upon deck and pushed about in a most brutal manner. Tho applicants could not succeed in reaching the vessel, and after meeting with a good deal of abuse wore told to join the Himalaya at Gravesend. They had, however, no means of reaching that place, or sufficient to purchase a meal, and they humbly implored the Magistrate to assist them, and to interfere in their behalf, so as to secure them from ill-treatment during the voyage, which they were fearful might be exorcised towards them after the threats made use of by the persons in authority on board the Himalaya. Mr. BALLANTINE directed Blaby, the chief usher of the Court, to take charge of the emigrants, to see them on board a Gravesend steamer, and pay their passage, give them a dinner, and present to each of tham Gd. to pay a boatman to convey them from the steamer, on her arrival at Gravesend, to the Himalaya, 110 also di rected Blaby to wait upon the agents, and inform them of what had occurred. He expected that no harshness would be exhibited towards any of the emigrants in consequence of this complaint. 'The applicants, consisting chiefly of young men and women, expressed their gratitude to the worthy and hu mane Magistrate in a way not to be misunderstood, and left the Court with the officer. The brutality exercised towards the female who nearly lost her life was witnessed by 150 people on the quay and the police. Th e d oc k- men and others joined in loud expressions of indignation. DREADFUL SUICIDE 1N SCOT LAND. We have just heard of a melancholy event which hap pened at Whitehaugh, in Aberdeensh►re, on Friday last, Colonel Forbes Leith hiving terminated his iiro with a loaded pistol in his drawing-room, in presence of his wife. Domestic unhappiness is reported in that part of the country as being the cause of this dreadful catastrophe. The Colonel had returned from India and settled on his paternal estate about twenty years ago, soon after which he married, and has now loft a widow and several chil dren, As the form of a Coroner's Inquest is unknown in Scotland, there is no investigation, we believe, by any public authority there on the occurrence of events such as the appalling one which we have mentioned, THE EYES.—Optical improvement.: to enable Persons at an advaueod age to read with ease and discriminate ob. jects with perfect distinctness.—Messrs.
