CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," Sec. &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses.

About forty pockets of hops of the new growth appeared at market on Saturday, but only sixi:een were sold, the trade consideriPg the prices demanded by the growers to be too high ; the few disposed of realised 90s. to 9:35. per cwt., but it is expected these prices will not be main tained with a duty of 19,0001., at which it is freely backed. A large supply is expected at the fair oa the 19th, when prices will be settled. VI had also twenty. seven pockets of old hops weighed oil the same day._ Worcester dounia The fourteenth half-yearly meeting of the Share holders in this Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, at one o'clock. From the Report it appears that the total revenue of the Company 'has been nearly stationary, and. that the balance in hand is not sufficiently large to warrant its divisicn - among the Proprietors, therefore no dividend was declared. The balance in hand amounts only to - 1,8971:10s. Old: The Report states the followirr , as the circumstances which have contributed to prevent any increase in the revenues of the Company : " The tenacity of the Greenwich Company to a toll almost prohibitory of a short and cheap traffic, which, whilst it has diminished the revenue of that Company, has likewise effectually checked the receipts of the CroydOn line; the slow development of the Brighton traffic during the early part of the year, and the high rate of fare maintained by that Company, which has had the effect of reducing the proportion which the toll should bear to its gross receipts, by diminishing the number of passengers from which such receipts have been obtained." It appears that the Directors of the Croydon Company have entered into an arrangement with the South Eastern Company, the object of which is a division between the two companies of the fare charged by the South. Eastern Company, after deducting the ex penses of conveyance, In PO Port i on t o th e l e ngth o f line of each company travers e d b y th e passenge rs from whom such fare is received. With respect.to the failure of the recent application to Parliament for a Bill for a common road, and to the measures proposed to be adopted, the Report contains the following announcement : " Your Directors propose to make another arrange ment with the South Eastern Company, which was the subject of a communication to the Proprietors at the late Special Meeting. The loss of the Bill before Parliament, for a common road approach, and the subsequent alteration of the'Standing Orders of the I louse of Commons regarding railway Bills, have, in some measure, extended the views of the Directors of the two Companies relative to this matter ; and it is now their united opinion, that the public convenience and the interest of both proprietaries would be better secured by making not merely an approach to the Grange-road, but a railway to a station near the Bricklayers' Arms. The whole of the land necessary for this purpose is either purchased or under agree ment, and your Directors anticipate no difficulty, therefore, in an Act being obtained in the next session of Parliament to carry this very desirable object into effect. To this intent it is proposed that a sum of money shall be raised upon the security of tolls, de rivable from the traffic over the new line—that the in terest of this money be further guaranteed by the two Companies, in the proportion of two-thirds by the South Eastern Company, and one-third by the Croy don Company, and the profits, after paying such in terest, to be divided in like proportion. There is also an understanding that if the project be not carried out, the expenses hitherto incurred shall be borne equally by both C om p an i es . E very probability, h owever , exists of it s b e i ng s peedily accomplished, and of our obtainin g , b y thi s mea ns, at a comparatively moderate cost, an effi c i en t `T es t-end terminus a n d goo d s sta tion for all the Southern lines, thereby removing all pretence for any other terminus independent, of the Croydon Railway." From th e s t a t emen ts of Mr. Cubitt, th e eng i neer , it appe are d th at t h e ex p e nse of this railway to th e ter minus at the Bricklayer's Arms , w oul d amount to about 150,0001., o f w hi c h 50,000/. would have to be raised F by the C ro yd on Company.rom the foll ow i ng pas sage in the Report it appears that a further sum of 65,0001. mus t b e ra i se d to complete the railway "'this meeti ng h as been :. made special for the pur • pose of raising the further capital formerly contem plated for the completion of the undertaking, which has been necessarily increased in consequence of the b great earth works, caused by the land slips at New crossthe last winter. Yo ur and -Forest-hill, during Directors regret to say that these works have ex ceeded what they anticipated, w hen they gave noti ce of the expected demand upon the Proprietors at the last general meeting, and that in addition to the ex pense thereby occasioned, it his beco me expedient, according to the advice of your Consulting Engi f neer, to purChase a considerable q uantity of land or the purpose of securin g th e permanent safety of y our railway, and preventing the pos sibility of the recur rence of such a cat as t rop h e as t h a t which lately hap lened ; Mr. Cubitt has likewise r ecommended that the rails throughout the line s hould be gradually taken up and re-laid, in consequence of some defe c t, arising from or i g i n al construction, which has recently manifested itself. The sum which your Directors con iider requisite for these purposes a mounts to about 65,0001., and a reso l ution for ra ising the same will be submitted to the meeting." In answer t o quest i ons v arious Proprietors, put bs'r Mr. Cubitt st a t e d that the purchase of the land was to be mad e under the provisions of the recent Railways' Regulation Act, and that it had been re commended by the Surveyor-General of Railw ay s ap pointed by th e B oard of Trade. lie also stated that the necessity for re-laying the rails had been occasione d by the use of p a t ent felt in the or i g i na l constructi on . The use of the felt had originally me t with his appro bation, and h a d b een recommended by several eminent engineers, but it had been found that the felt worked out, leaving a hollow' and that, consequently-, the rails became bent. He had therefore recommended that the rails should be taken ' up, straightened, and re-laid flat upon the wood, the expense of doing which would amount to about proposed by the 4 , 000/ . It was Chairman, and agreed to by the meeting, that the Report should be received and adopted, after which the. Chairman proposed a resolution for raising the sum required by the issue of loan notes of 2/. each (which would give o ne loan note to each existing share), bearing an interest of Si. per cent. for three years. "The loan notes to be conve rtible into shares, at the rate of 151. Tier of two years, at the expiration years, at the option of the holders, the payment of interest to cease from the day of the conversion ; each loan note not converted into s hares which should be outstanding at th e en he of the three years to be paid off at par. The loan notes to be offered first of all to the Shareholder s, at the rate of one loan note par share. In the event of any Shareholder refusing to take his amount of loan notes, such notes to be offered to the other --u " • Shareholders, and, in the event of their refusal, to the lc. The money to be paid public. 'by two instalments ; one on the 15th Octoberd , .and another on the 15th 4, ~ Janua r y next. This prosal was, after some discussion, adopted by the Share holders, and thanks having been - voted to the Chair man and Directors, the meeting separated. It ap pears from the accounts laidtable, on the that during the last half-year, 188,582 passenge i rs have tra ve ll e d by the railway, besides those holdng annual and quarterly tickets, and that the total receipt, on account of passenger traffic, has been 1 1 241/. 6s 10,1 while t from the carriage of goods h' •• ; have e receipts only amounted to 4661.95. 2d.

A L UDICROUS . 1 , --- -7,, 11 LUDICROUS MISTAR.E.—IV e have been told to mind our 1 3 's and Q's; but the following will show that it is quite - as i m portant to mind our A's and O's. An English gen tl e man, residing in o ne of the West India Islands, intending to establish a. dairy farm, wrote to his correspondent in South Americ a , a Spaniard, to send him fifty h e if ers w ith which to sto c k i t. The letter was written in Spanish ; but the writer's acquaintance with that langua g e was not as accurate a s was his knowledge of cattle. The feminine Spanish word for heifers, " be dell-as," only differs in a letter .f,rom the masculine, sig nifying young bulls, " becerros,' and, unfortunately for our friend, lie had unwittingly spelled his order with the 0. Accordingly, after a good deal of scouring over the savannahs, fifty fine young bulls, wild enough it may be supposed, from their native prairies, were with no little difficulty and at great expense, captured with the lasso, and shipped to him. His consternation when the riotous ' animals arrived and were driven to his gate, may be more .. easily imagin e d than described : 1, 0 refused to receive them, averring that he had ordered heifers, and not bulls; but his letter being procured and exhibited, and his Spanish bull explained to him, he was forced to agree to his very bad bargain. The gentleman was afterwards wonderfully fastidious in his words whenever he wrote Spanish letters on business. -- Literary el Y G azette.

Sheriff MAGNAY stated to the Court, that since the last Report was made to the Sheriffs from White cross-street prison, a serious loss had been sustained in the death of Mr. Barrett, the late keeper, with whose merits and excellent qualities the members were well acquainted. The Sheriffs had nominated Mr. Thomas Burdon to the office, a gentleman whom he (Sheriff Magnay) had known for twenty five years, and whom he considered in every respect exceedingly well qualified to fill the situation. Upon the motion of Alderman BROWN it was re ferred to the Gaol Committee to inquire into the qualifications of Mr. Burdon to fill the office, accord ing to the usual forms observed in cases of the kind. The salary of the office was incidentally stated to be 6001. a year, and it is to undergo no diminution. The accounts of the late Mr. Barrett were referred to the same Committee. TUE LATE PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY IN TII E CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The TOWN CLERK read a presentment made by the Grand Jury a few days ago in the Central Criminal Court, complaining that a number of paltry cases had been submitted to them; that several of those cases had been. charged against persons not accused before; and That"thd - Magistrates ought to have dealt sum marily in them instead of sending them to such a tri bunal ; that the gaol of Newgate was crowded with female prisoners ; that there was great want of ac commodation for witnesses about the Court; that male and female witnesses were not kept apart from each other; and that the latter were taken by the police-officers to the public-houses in the neighbour hood, to the serious peril of their moral sense. Alderman BROWN said there were certainly several observations in the paper just read, which deserved serious attention. At the same time many of the evils could be only remedied by the Legislature, or the Secretary of State.—(Hear, hear.) Those which it might be in the power of the City authorities to re move or modify could be best ascertained by referring the prentment to the General Committee, and no doubt the most effectual means would be adopted to accomplish the object. The Alderman then moved that the presentment should be referred to the Committee. Alderman LUCAS said the presentment of the Grand Jury did not say whether the trivial cases to which allu sion was made in it had been sent for the considera tion of the Grand Jury by Middlesex, Kent, Surrey, or City Magistrates. It would be satisfactory if the cases had been particularised in such a manner as would show to what Magistrates they were referable. Alderman BROWN observed that the 'answer would probably be that the cases were not committed by the City Magistrates. ,The Committee, however, would have an opportunity of reporting fully on the subject, and thus the attention of the proper authorities might be drawn to it.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman T. WOOD said therewere many points in whiCh the Magistracy could not at all interfere. They had .no sort of control over the police, either in Mid dlesex, or in the City, and of couree could not inter fere to prevent what was complained of in the pre sentment as to the conduct of the force. As for the charges against juvenile offenders, the expense attend ing those accusations had been over and over again represented as unnecessary, and still they were not put a stop to. With respect to the state of Newgate, the City authorities had 'done all they could to in crease the internal accommodation. It had been de termined that Newgate should be a gaol for those who were to undergo sentence. He believed that the Go vernment would not hesitate to apply the proper remedy, and approved of the suggestion of referring the subject to the Gaol Committee. Alderman Lucas thought the Grand Jury com plained of some matters which it would not be very easy to remedy. Every one knew that a policeman was expected to keep his witnesses together, to be ready when called upon, and .it could scarcely be supposed that a person, under such circumstances, could nicely separate the male from the female wit nesses. As for the crowded state of Newgate, the Sheriff's could satisfactorily account for that. He re. collected, when he was Sheriff, that he frequently went to the Secretaryof State to request that functionary to clear the prison. There were many circumstances which concurred to render the removal of female con victs a matter of difficulty. Alderman Gians wished that the Grand Jury would attend the Gaol Committee, and explain some things in their presentment, which, in his opinion, very much required explanation.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was unanimously agreed to. THE QUEEN'S VISIT, TO SCOTLAND. The LORD MAYOR presented a Report, detailing the proceedings adopted by his Lordship (already pub lished), upon receiving information of her Majesty's intention to honour Scotland with a visit. The Report was ordered to be entered in the Jour nals of the Court. The LORD MAYOR also presented the Report of his Lordship's survey of the river Thames. The Report, which was of considerable length, was read in brief, and 'ordered to be entered in the Jour nals of the Court.—Adjourned. DEATH IN ST. LUKE'S ASYLUM. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon, at St. Luke's Lunatic Asylum_ Old-street, before Mr. liaker, on the body of Nathaniel Currie, aged 34, formerly a merchant's clerk, and latterly an inmate of the above Asylum. Mr. Henry Lambert, surgeon of the Institution, stated that the deceased first came under his care as a patient on the 12th of August last Deceased was of a very violent disposition, and once had an encounter with one of the keepers, when he (deceased) fell in the struggle. He died at three o'clock on Sunday . last, and on the following day a post mortem examination, to ascertain the cause of death was was made by Mr. Luke. Dece ased's was the result of having had four of his ribs fractured, but witness could not tell in what manner they be came so. There were no external marks of violence on the chest, and he had not heard the deceased com plain of pain there. Mr. Jas. Luke said that the in juries must have been received long before that period. Inflammation of the lungs consequent upon the frac. tured ribs was the cause of death. Ellen Currie, of 12, Ashfield-street, Hoxton, said that the deceased was her husband. lie had been out of his mind for the last six months, but did not enter a lunatic asylum until the 12th of August. Six months ago he was brought home in a cab, suffering from an injury to the head he had sustained by falling down a cellar ashe walked along the streets. On the day before that accident, he very foolishly spent 201. in jewellery, for whic!: he had no use. Witness saw him for the second time after his admission to the Asylum on Wednesday last, when he said, as he lay ill in bed, that he was " bro ken all over." Witness had no reason to believe that he had been ill-treated in the asylum. Se was cer tain that nine weeks ago, three weeks before he en tered the asylum, his ribs were not injured. Mr. Luke again said that the ribs must have been frac tured more than a fortnight ago, but not at so distant a period as six months, when he fell down the cellar. Charles Turner, one of the keepers, said that a fort night ago, whilst undressing deceased, he (deceased) caught hold of his thumb, and caused him such pain by forcing it back that he was compelled to throw him off. Deceased could not have had his ribs fractured by that. Verdict—" That the deceased died from the effects of four fractured ribs, but how they became so fractured there was no evidence to show.'

Several gentlemen anxious to effect a settlement were also present, and amongst them were Dr. Booth, W. chance, Esq., Mr. Burgess, Commis sioner of the Birmin g ham police, J. Meredith, Esq., Captain Baldwin, and others. At one o'clock Lord DARTMOUTH was requested to preside, and on taking the chair his Lordship stated the object of the meeting, -and in so doing referred to the meeting held last week at that hotel. His Lordship said he did not think he had any right whatever to in terfere between the masters and men, but having been requested to use his influence to bring about an amicable settlement, he had attended for that pur pose. He felt more at liberty to afford the men an opportunity of meeting the masters, because he knew that ample precautions had • been taken to secure the peace, and that the power of the autho rities was such as to give an ascendancy to the law. The law-. and authority having been upheld, he for one would be most willing to go into any grievances of which the men might have to complain. He thought the better course to be pursued on that oc casion would be to call in the working men and let them state their case. 'They had also better call in the butty colliers, and hear both 'sides, and after hearing all, he would recommend that all those gentlemen not engaged in the trade should leave the room, and let the masters and men settle the difference between them. Before they went into the buSiness, he thought Mr. Chance arid Dr: Booth might wish to say a few W - ords • • • - IN M. CHANCE, Esq., a Magistrate and manufacturer of Birmingham, then rose and said, that he had met a highly respectable gentleman belonging to the coal trade the day before, who seemed to intimate that he (Mr. Chance) ought not to take any part in the pro ceedings between the hove and men, and the gentleman asked him how The should like it if a similar interference took place between him (Mr. Chance) and the persons employed in his glass-works. He (Mr. Chance) disclaimed most positively any intention or wish to interfere between master and man, but at the same time he felt bound to say he considered the pre sent strike one of more than ordinary importance, the effects of which were daily being felt throughout the country. The question was one which had assumed a sort of national importance, and in which every man might be said to be interested. He had in his manufactory 600 men and 100 women and boys, to whom not less than 7001. a week was paid in wages. There were not less than 2,500 individuals depending upon the above amount of wages, and he certainly felt that he had a deep interest in their wel fare and whatever affected them. He had been three weeks ago within a very short time of stopping all his works owing to the want of coal. He had been ob liged to get coil from Derby, and every other - place he could, at a very considerable loss and inconveni ence. He did not complain of that loss, but he looked to the present strike as one deeply affecting the in terest of the country generally. They had not much coal in Birmingham, and the scarcity must be felt in other places. He and Dr. Booth had received a deputation from the colliers, consisting of about thirty men, and he must say he never met a body of men with better feelings towards their masters, or men who, if they told the truth, had stronger grounds of complaint against persons who had the employment of them. Ile must, however, say that the statements which he had heard were ex parte—he did not, he could not, vouch for them; but they were certainly deserving the consideration of all those interested in the trade. He only wished that the unfortunate affair might be amicably settled, and, in saying so, he was fully convinced that the sooner the strike was settled the better for all parties. Dr. BOOTH next addressed the meeting in explana tion of the motives which induced him to come for ward on that occasion. He and the Magistrates of Birmingham, in common with those throughout the county, had had a good deal of anxiety in preserving the peace, and now that tranquillity was perfectly restored, they were most anxious to retain it, and they ilAt that nothing would more effectually tend to re store complete order, than the restoration of the col liers to the pits. He felt bound to corroborate Mr. Chance in the character he had given of the .colliers. Ile met the deputation of miners with a very un favourable impression respecting them ; but he was really bound to say he had been most agreeably sur prised at their conduct. He never met a better be haved body of working men in his life, and he should never feel any difficulty in meeting one thousand of them. Shelton, Hughes, and other colliers, whose state ments made last week relative to the butties, have already appeared, then came forward, and reiterated their grievances, consisting of bildasses, over-time, and the truck system. A great deal of contradictory evi dence having been gone through, Mr. EATON, a master, said he had travelled a good dear the day before in Bilston and neighbourhood, and he could say that the masters and butties had made up their minds not to allow bildasses any more, nor would the butties press the men in future for the quarter and half-days. He hoped the men would, therefore, have reason to rejoice at the result of that day's meeting ; that a far better understanding would spring up, and that they would resume work upon good terms with their masters. Mr. DAVIS, a butty collier, after cross-examining the witnesses at great length, said, the great evil of which they had to complain was the big weight. He had to send off boats laden with so much coal, for which he was not allowed the full weight, and he could not, consequently, afford to give the men all they required. SIIELTON said he would ask, was it right to throw all the burden on the poor men ? Why not go at once to the pit-owner and get retirees,. in place of throwing all upon the poor men ? Mr. SALTER said he had every reason to believe t h a t all the masters in that part of the county would remove the abuses of which the men had reason to complain. He thought they might now safely close that inquiry. Some men said they were afraid to complain, be cause they would be discharged. Several agents said the men might rely upon it the masters would not refuse to listen to any proper com plaint, nor would they allow any man to be put away by the butties for complaining. Dr. BOOTH then addressed the men, and advised them to go at once to their masters and avail them selves of the present favourable feeling. They had no right to doubt the sincerity of the masters, who had expressed their determination not to allow any more oppression upon their men. Lord DARTMOUTH said he hoped things would now take a favourable turn, and that they would soon be all at work. During the course of the meeting it was stated that De vly all the pits had been set on to work durin g t h e last two days at the old prices—the proposed " having been abandoned by some maste rs. reductio.. -inortion, it is hoped, will soon follow . be honed that the whole district I T t h i e s, ot t h h e e r re p fo immediately resu: ne. • labour, so far as consump will '" admitted evils of which tion will allow, and that U.. -nay n ever be repeated , the men have had to complain b.. by suc h a mass of nor the peace of society threateneu discontent being thrown upon it. -.-It Al-- 07 ap - MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM e _o say uy pears that three quarters of an hour mere eayr i ea Out this line to Crewe.

I LAUNCH OF HER IVIAJEST'Y'S SHIP ALBION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) DEVONPORT, WEDNESDAT.—Yesteiday . was lA* here by all classes as a general holiday, the oceasimt being the launch of the Albion, of 90 guns, one of the largest two-decked ships ever built, and if the expectations .formed of her sailing should be realised, she will be a . valuable addition to the naval force •of the nation. She is to carry thirty-two 68-pounders on her lower deck, and will throw broadside of 2,016 lb. of metal. She is built on the principle of Captain Sir Wrn.'Symonds, the Surveyor of the Navy. Additional interest - Was* given to this launch-by the presence of the Lords of the Admiralty, whose flag is no* - flying on board the San Josef, Captain Burgoyne. •The day was as fine as could by wished, bright and glowing, and the thousands who were abroad, both on land and water, converted the landscape into a most busy and, gratifying scene: The heights opposite the dockyard were crowded With': spectators; the surtax of the water was covered with boats of all kinds and sizes; from, the humble skiff to the noble vessel'of some 'dis tinguiihed member of the Royal 'Western Yacht Club. Tickets of admission to - the seats the tem porary galleries erected along the sides, arici,around the bows of the Albion, were quite at a premium, and -much anxiety was manifested to obtain thorn From three o'clock, When the dockyard gates weir thrown open to the public, till past four, a eontinuous stream of people was pouring down to the scene of action, mid those who could not get an inside place • • were fain to see as much as they could (which hap pened to be very little), through the supports of the • immense roof over the ship and under the spec tators' galleries. The enormous fabric was lite rally ...wedged in by a mass of humanity.

Mr. Hawkes, the master builder, then led Mrs. Drake, the daughter of the .Adrakal-Super intendent, to the verge of the piatforin ; a bottle of wine, gaily decorated with white and purple ribbons, had been suspended at a convenient. height, and it having been, with all due ceremony, placed in the lady's hands, she immediately dashed it against the bows, s hattering the.bottle into a hundred fragments (a good' omen it is said,), and causing the " rep.' purple stream" to flow copiously down the oak tim bers, soon to be washed by another and far diffe rent fluid. " Success to the Albion" was then given, with three cheers by the whole of the com pany, .and the Lords of the - Admiralty left the prateerm, and proceeded to seats Whichbad been prepared for them on the larboard stern-quarter. A few minutes were allowed to elapse to give their Lord ships -time to seat themselves, and - .Mr. Hawkes then gave the mallet and chisel to Mrs. Drake, who divided the cord that, by a most ingenious mechanical con trivance, is all that holds the immense mass in its place, and thus set at liberty the Albion, which, like a gallant horse, impatient m the rein, rushed on her downward path to the ocean, with speed and majesty, which few could behold withot4 a thrill of feeling and a throb of national pride. She was taken into dock with the same tide, and will be commissioned immediately. The Lords of the Admiralty dined with the. Admiral Superintendent in the evening, and a splendid-:eater tainment was also given by Captain Burgoyne,' on board the San Josef, to which more than two hundred persons, including a large number of naval and mili tary officers were invited.
