" We believe Mr. t Courtenay's experience in the treatinent of stric ture during the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it liras not surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no matter of surprise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a most dexterous and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ; and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert that the introduction of instruments through a stricture whfc,h had previously been Impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight scauce of gratification on Mr. t'ourtenay's part. to have achieved the reputation he has in this res )ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture of the urethra."—Medical Circular.

SIR JOHN BO WRING AT SIAM. (From, the Manchester Examiner, Aug. 11, 1855.) We have been favoured with the folloWing extracts of priAte letters recently received from his Excellency Sir John Bowring -- • EXTRACT FROM A LETTER OF SIR JOHN BOWRING, DATED ITONG KONG, MAY 23, 1855. " 1 have made a noble treaty with Siam. lam amazed at my own success ; but all the good genii were with me. I found there in the prime minister a marvellous man ; and, together, we shook the Gaz t gates of monopoly. Siam is likely to become what it was once—one of the most com mercial and progressive nations of the eastern world." EXTRACT FROM AN EARLIER LETTER. "Bangkok is a city of more than 300,000 inhabitants. The Jesuits say 400,000. It extends for many miles on the two sides of the Meinam. I imagine no city in the east has such a number of gorgeous temples. The prostra tion of the people before the king and the nobles, and of the nobles before the king, is, I suppose, unparalleled even in Oriental nations. Everybody becomes a quadruped in the neighbourhood of the Lord of the White Elephant, with their faces in the dust. But I have been so much in the graces of the two kings—for there are two—as to be introduced into their private apartments, to have seen their wives—the first has 600, who have 2,400 female at tendants—and to have many colloquies, lasting many hours at a time, seated vis-a-vis at their tables, or close to their thrones. All the kotou-ings and acts of vassalage have been dispensed with. I came up in a ship of war to the capital, and she anchored off the ancient factory, fired there a royal salute, which met with the appropriate re sponse. In a word, everything has gone on delightfully ; though I once or twice had to apprehend a total failure. But the king promised that all the honours ever done to a foreign ambassador should be done to me; and as I found the ambassador sent by Louis XIV. in 1688 was not sub jected to the humiliations which have been since exacted, I have managed to escape every indignity, and to be al lowed to sit at the royal audience, where all the princes of the blood were on all fours. We wore our swords, too, a privilege for which the French ambassador stipulated ; and though it was ceded comme faveur .tout-a-fait per sonelle et particuliere,' I persuaded the king, after long discussions and much resistance, to allow, to me. But his majesty had the goodness privately to lea r d me to the hall of audience, acknowledging that the claim of Queen Vic toria now was as good as that of the French king in 1688 ; so we settled before the day of reception all the ceremo nials, and they were no sooner over than his majesty sent for me to tell me I had conducted myself most satisfac• torily, and desired I would hear him read the speech I had delivered, and which he did me the honour of saying was the very sort of speech he wished me to make. He dan dled on his knees a pretty child the while, which he told me was the twelfth which had been born to him since he came to the throne, four years ago. The favourite wife he could not introduce, as she was ' in a state of happy ex pectancy,' he said. SUSPECTED MURDER OF A SAlLOR.—Yesterday Mr. W. Baker, the deputy-coroner, hell an inquest at the George and Dragon Tavern, High-street, Shadwell, on view of the body of George Smith, aged 43 years, who was found on Monday morning lying dead on the cause wary failing New Crown Wharf, Wapping•wall, with a severe injury,oll the bead, which wassuffi*i.t.te account k er mt, number of witnesses - yw?re ,oxamitied was returned Oki-Found. dead .in the ricer with a cut wound on the head, but hoiv,saused, 9i0:ju17.13941 no evidence to show."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The half-yearly ordinary meeting of this cornpuy was held yesterday at Euston-square Station, for the transaction of the general business of the company the Marquis of Chandos, M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he bad no longer to call their attention to an increasing traffic, but a falling off in the mast important branch—the passenger traffic. The diminution was from 704,0001. to 680,0001., which be thought was to be attributed much to the war dimi nishing the means of persons to travel. The di minution was not confined to stations where they had competition, but was observable in others, and he re ferred, in illustration, to the decrease of traffic at the stations between London and Layton. Another cause of diminution was the numerous new lines, and the altered position of others from recent legislation being brought into competition with them. Amalgamations had been effected, which the directors always predicted would be injurious to them, and the result had verified these prognostications. If they compared the traffic of the past half-year with those of previous years they would find that, when new channels of com munication bad been opened, they tended to di lute and but slightly increase the traffic of the district. The diminution of their passenger traffic might be divided into two heads, 20,0001. owing to the opening of new lines, and 12,0001. from a diminished traffic, arising from what he had already alluded to. There was a large increase of income connected with the merchandise and mineral traffic, which it was gratify ing to find had been earned at a reduction of working , expenses, arising from arrangements made by the direc tors, and the accounts showed the excess of receipts over the corresponding period to be 7,0001. Arrange ments had been made to meet the reduction of passenger traffic, and the directors thought that, having placed a check on increasing expenditure, they might hold out hopes of reductions in the working expenses commensurate with its being carried out. The noble chairman alluded to the payment of 4,0001. to the Shropshire Railway over the usual half-yearly payment, which would be done for the future until that account had been brought up to the date of all the others. After referring to the bills that had been passed this session of Parliament connected with this line, he adverted to the bill for improving the communication with Ireland, which ultimately would have to come specially before them before anything could be done under it. The rejection of the North Staffordshire Amalga mation Bill was to be regretted. It was intro duced into Parliament under a belief that it was a wise measure, believing from the position of the North Staffordshire Railway it could be worked in cordial co-operation with this line. It was with that view the company entered into arrangements with the North Staffordshire Company. The bill had, however, been rejected a third time, but he hoped it would not render a less harmonious working of that line by the two com panies. By the arrangement between the two com panies, if Parliament rejected the bill three times on its merits, and not on formal points, the arrangement was to be at an end; and the bill having been rejected a third time, the beard of directors considered they were no further bound by the arrangement ; but it had been asserted otherwise, and the directors designated repudiators in consequence of expressing such an opin ion. His lordship then entered into the details of the proceedings in Parliament, relative to the three applica tions for the bill, and said there could be no doubt three applications had been made, but denied there had been a suspension of either of them, as had been stated, so as to make it appear there had been but two applications made to Parliament instead of three. He contended the applications had been refused by Parliament entirely on their merits ; that of amalgamation, which was so understood by the North Staffordshire Company, and who were aware the last was the third application. The directors of this company, after reviewing the whole of the circumstances, were of opinion they had fully carried out their engagements with the North Staf fordshire Company, and that the agreement was at an end. Mr. BOOTH, one of the secretaries, then read the re port, which recommended a dividend of 2/. 7s. 6d. per cent. for the last six months, amounting to 535,865/. ls. 2d,, leaving a balance of 6,950/. ls. 6d. to be car ried forward to the next half-year's account. Mr, BENSON (Deputy Chairman) moved the adoption of the report. Mr. UPCROFT called attention to the high rate of in terest they paid for their money, which he considered arose from the directors settling it amongst themselves, instead of advertising for it. Were they to do so they might save 40,0001. per annum. Mr. HADFIELD, M.P., said he thought the time was come when the directors should allow a . deputation of shateho!ders to look into the accounts and ascertain the cause of the diminution of the dividend. He understood a committee of the Board of Directors had investigated the subject, and that they suggested enormous reduc tions. It was a notorious fact that, whilst the traffic had increased i❑ four years equal to one per cent., their dividend had decreased. There must be some cause for it which he wished to see explained. He for one did not consider the management of the line was what it ought to be. (Cheers.) The hon. gentleman proceeded to 'flake some remarks on the expenditure of the com pany, observing that the fighting expenses of this com pany averaged 100,0001. a year, which had to be paid out of revenue. (Hear. He was satisfied one percent. of revenue might be saved from the expenses of the com pany. The committee he alluded to had taken evidence, and he called on them to speak out. The appointment of the deputation he named was not intended as a vote of censure on the Board of Directors. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY, M.P., called attention to the debenture debt, which amounted to 10,834,0001. The CHAIRMAN said be thought much good would ultimately be effected by the return recently moved for by the member for Sheffield with reference to railways. He had always been opposed to extensions and Parlia mentary warfare, alluded to during the meeting ; and in reference to the appointment of a deputation, as pro posed by Mr. Hadfield, said the board of directors would be most happy to meet a deputation, and that, as re garded extensions generally, the board was opposed to them. No doubtsrexcursio❑ trains had been used much to the injury of companies, and he believed they had much decreased this year. He was not there to approve or support views entertained many years since by share holders, but now very much moderated by experience, and entered at some length into the general state of the railways tbrow,Yhout the country. The board had no wish to keep anything from the knowledge of the share holders, Lut they doubted the policy of making every thing publicly known for the information of the public and other railway companies. A very lengthened discussion' took place relative to the management, the rate of fairs - charged, and the im policy of running excursion trains at so low a figure, and the interference of Parliament with railway property, is hich latter, it was stated, had had the effect of placing thi+ line in its present adverse position. The report was then put and carried, and the dividend declared of 2./. 7s. Gd. per cent. A resolution embodying Mr. Hadfield's views was then agreed to, and a committee of gentlemen nominated and approved of. A discussion then took place relative to the rejection of the North Staffordshire Amalgamation Bill, after which the meeting terminated. NORTH LONDON. The half-yearly meeting of shareholders was held yes terday at the Euston-square station ; Mr. John Scott in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. CHUBB, the secretary, read the report of the di rectors (already published), which, after some discussion, was adopted, and a dividend of 21. per share declared out of the profits of the last half-year. Power was also taken to borrow 25,0001. on debentures, and the 50/. and 10/. shares consolidated into stock, after which the proceedings terminated. was present at the ticat appointed, but after waiting for an hour in vain for the agsembling of a quorum of his brother directors, the meeting was adjourned according to the provisions of the act. THO SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY MOVEMENT. Yesterday evening a most numerous and respectable meeting wasbeld in Guildhall, for the purpose of con sideiing the steps necessary to be taken to ensure the cessation of business in the City from two o'clock on Setttrdays. Sir James Duke, M.P., in the chair. Mr. ,LILWALL, the honorary secretary to the Society for Promoting Early Closing, read letters from the Earl of Ebrington; Mr. Gregory, of Bedford-row, the Rev. Thomas Binney, the Rev. Henry Allen, and Alderman Salomons, regretting they could not be present at the meeting, and expressing their cordial concurrence in its objects. He then read a statement of the progress of the early-closing movement, from the commencement to 'the present time, which was received with much appkuse. X. W. HUBBARD, Esq., late Governor of the Bank of England, moved the first resolution, - to the effect that as the Saturday half-holiday had been tried in Edin burgh, Glasgow, and all the principal towns in Scot land, in Liverpool, Manchester, and many large towns in England, and even in many important branches of trade in, London, and was found to work beneficially for both the employe r s an d the employed, it was expedient to clopt.that practice wherever it was practicable. He aid he should have beea unwilling to have moved such a resolution at tlae commencement of the movement, for he thought it would be dictating to employers what time they should let their people work ; but that diffi culty was removed, for he, saw that those very masters wh4 were interested in the matter were not only the supporters of the motion, but the actual promoters of it. (Cheers.) There was a stupid axiom extant that capi tal and labour were in antagonistic positions ; and with .narrow-minded people it was so, for they gacrfficed every thing and everybody to gain. But the enlightened capi talist found that his greatest gain was in not wearing out his labourers by overworking them. The Rev. TRESHAM GREGG seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. J. R. TAYLOR proposed the next resolution, to the effect that a memorial be presented to the proper autho rities praying for the closing of law, public, and other offices, at two o'clock on Saturdays. He said that 236 firms of London had petitioned the judges to this effect ; but! one of them feeling that be could not give up so much time belonging to the public, would not consent to it, and the others would not act without him. Mr. TARLTON seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. A. Mooiu proposed, and Mr. Deputy HOLT seconded, the next resolution, recommending the masters to pay wages on Friday, or early on Saturday. This and some complimentary resolutions having been put: and carried, the proceedings terminated. STORMY PEACE MEETING AT ST. MARTIN'S HALL. Last night a public meeting was held at St. Martin's )1 Ha , Long-acre, "to take the opinion of the public upon the momentous question of peace or war." Mr. J. Hamilton, of Southwark hustings notoriety, took the chair. The attendance was comparatively thin at the commencement of the proceedings, but towards the close the. ball was pretty well filled. The CHAIRMAN, in a long rhapsodicspeecb, continually interrupted by tempests of mingled cheers and hisses, proceeded to state his opinions upon the war and its con sequences, assuring the meeting that he did not kno w the amount of treasure expended, nor did he know how much sacrifice of liberty bad been made ; but he would say, without hesitation that nearly 500,00 g human lives had been lost ; and it was his duty to inform them that a grave impression had gone abroad that the brave Bri tish army in the Crimea might possibly be doomed to perish without returning to their native land. He would not tell them what they fought for,unless he were to utter dark suspicions ; but if the Christian religion bad never beep known, and if there had been no recognition of eter naljustice on earth, there could not have been a war more recklessly carried on ; and history, he believed, would brand the war as an atheistical one. (Hisses and cheer ini) In conclusion, the chairman, as the best advice he Could give them, recommended the people of England to refuse to supply to their Government those materials of war which were only used for their own destruction. (Uproar.) Mr. B. O'BRIEN attacked the newspaper press of the metropolis because they would not gratuitously publish an address, of about two columns in length, emanating from a society of which he (Mr. P. O'Brien) is president. After 'characterising the war as an aggression upon the part of England, and making a fierce attack upon the Governments of England and France, amid much con fusion he concluded by proposing a long resolution con demnatory of the war, and strongly protesting against its further continuance. (Uproar.) Mr. J. G. HARRIS, in seconding the resoletion, - preseed the assurance that it w,ould be unanimously adiipted, and that it would have an electrifying effect thrOughout the country, that the Government would he turned out, and universal peace prevail. (Laughter.) Mr. PASSKORE EDWARDS rose to propose an amend ment, denouncing the war " as a mockery, a delusion, and a snare ;" but the meeting decided that this was no amendment, and refused to hear him. .bout fifteen other gentlemen, anxious to address the meeting, then jumped to the front of the rostrum, con tending for a long time for precedence, amid a scene of indescribable confusion, in which the chairman found bis'seat anything but one of rose leaves. Ultimately, Mr. HORACE ST. JOHN obtained a hearing, and moved as an amendment, "That this meeting recognising both the justice and necessity of the war in which we are en gaged, and seeing that the great objects for which it was undertaken are still unaccomplished, pledges itself to support any honest government that will vigorously prosecute it to an honourable and victorious termination." Mr. St. John, in speaking to his resolution, aroused the ire of the peace party, one of whom advanced and shook his hand in the speaker's face, and another scene of up roar took place, which it is impossible to describe. Afterwards, Mr. H. CooKE seconded the amendment, asserting his opinion that thb people of England had not abated one jot of their determination to carry on the glorious war. (Confusion.) Mr. W. \VILKEs vehemently opposed the amendment, exciting considerable surprise by characterising the bom bardment of Sweaborg as the crowning proof of ministe rial treachery, because it was calculated to do more harm to the Fins, our friends, than to the Russians, our ene mies— an announcement which was met by a storm of ridicule and disapprobation ; but Mr. Wilkes afterwards recovered ground by advocating the extension of aid to Poland. He advised them to stop the war until they had put down Palmerston and got universal suffrage. Mr. S. KYDD observed that the wishes and ascendancy of Russia could not possibly be better promoted than by stopping the war unconditiOnally. He loved peace; but peace, in the present state of Europe, meant fighting and conquering Russia. (Loud cheers.) War was a great game and they must not be idle at it ; either let them make peace in earnest or make war in earnest. (Applause.) Mr. G. THOMPSON supported the resolution. The amendment and the original resolution was then put by the chairman, when the latter was carried by a majority of two to one. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The 19th ordinary half-yearly meeting was held, yes terday, at the Euston station. Sir Harry Verney, Bart, chairman of the board, took the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report :—" The directors have to present their usual statement of the receipt and payment of guaranteed dividend for the half year ending the 30th of June last. The account shows that the rent received from the London and North- Western Company to the 31st of December, 1854, added to 1,1301. 11s. 3d., the bala nce from t h e formeracc a ount, amounts to 26,0301 lls. 3 d.

The directors have the satisfaction of report ing that the traffic on the line shows an increase during the past half-year, as compared with the corresponding period of 1854. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. The motion was seconded by the Hon. PHILIP SYD , NEY PIERREPONT, and carried unanimously. " A vote of thanks to the chairman and directors having Iteenvaistindc, The proceedings then terminated. • - WORCESTER AND HEREFORD. The usual half-yearly meeting of this tompany was adveitised to take place at three o'clock yesterday after noon, ,in; the.Eustontainare station. o 111 r. Thomas ney wood, the chairman of the directors, TV. S. LINDSAY, M.P. TYNEMOUTII, Wednesday.— -Mr. W. S. Lindsay, M. P., who is threatened with opposition from Captain Liuskill, a liberal conservative, and a cousin of the Greys, has taken the first opportunity to meet his constituents, and addressed a large asi.embly of the electors of the borough last evening. His reception was most cordial. Mr. LINDSAY, afte thanking the meeting for the hearty reception they bad given him, passed in review the measures brought before Parliament during the ses sion. He referred the meeting to a thick pamphlet he had published a 3 a complete refutation of the charges brought against him by Sir C. Wood. He denied that he had derived any advantage from his position of mem ber of Parliament ; on the contrary, he had been attacl:ed and abused for his exposure of Government mismanage ment—mismanagement that had lost many precious lives and squandered much of wealth. The administra tive reform movement was going on quietly, but he said he would have liked to have seen them show more nerve and agitate for Parliamentary reform and the immediate abolition of all patronage as the most speedy means to reach their end. After referring to Mr. Linskill and his address, of whom he understood the Government knew nothing, for the Secretary of the Treasury had told him that he was not aware that there was such a gentleman in existence, he urged upon the electors not to allow him (Mr. Lindsay) to be stabbed behind his hack, but to support him as their independent member, and as an honest and independent administrative re- Former. Mr. Lindsay retired amidst general cheering. A return moved for by Mr. H. G. Langton, M.P., gives a list of the seizures made and of prosecutions for breach of the tobacco laws in the years 1852, 1853, and 1854, with a list of the offenders. It appears that about 69 persons or firms were so prosecuted in England and 31 in Ireland during the said period. The cases of adul terated tobacco are very numerous, and the materials for adulterating it consisted of sugar, alum, lime, flour of meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpetre, &c. POISONING IN SOMEMETSHIRE.—The quiet little ham let of Clapton, in the parish of Midsomer Norton, in the above county, has been alarmed by the almost sudden death of Mrs. Emma Candy, wife of a highly respectable farmer of that place. The deceased was 27 years of age, and in consequence of the suspicious nature of the cir cumstances attending her death the coroner, Mr. Bruges Fry, has felt it his duty to commence an inquest on the body. At the express request of that official we with hold for the present the evidence which has been already taken ; but we may add that the contents of the stomach having been submitted to analysis by Mr. Ilerapath, the eminent chemist of Bristol, undoubted traces of a rsenic have been discovered. The inquest stand s adjourned ov7 till Monday, the 20th inst., and though t here is doubt that the deceased died of po i son , the questionno whether it was administered by he r own hands or the hands of another remains to be decided by further evi dence to be adduced, and by Of verdict of the jury. 41r7"7 ~ --, 7 OP IF ./- ~- '- .f • '', 2r Z --- • .. ~.. , . , , ,_..-,, . : )..;,..• ,: - irZ-Ekt . ,-,. , , i , , . „ ~..* a 2' fil 'BIRMIggir GREAT . wRI'Vf... .. .. ~. :„-„,-; 3 , . -. ---- --',....

Having thus stated their objects, and cautioned the meeting against being se- . dueed by bad men into any unconstitutional steps, Mr. Aliday proceeded to read several extracts from the Blue Books, relative to the neg otiations whi c h p rece d e d th e declaration 'of war, and from which he contended that they all went to prove complicity - on the part.•of our • Ministers with the enemies of England, 'and demanded their most serious and prompt consideration. _ . . . .

Mr. DALZELL brought up the report of the committee on the probable effects of the war, in the following order, viz.:—England's commerce, her influence on the people, the people's position :—" First,—The Committee de clares that England's commerce will be impaired ; that she will sink to a third-rate state if the peoples inter posing hand de es not stay the decomposition to which she is hastening ; her influence on the people will be subversive of that state of honour which is essential to the political well-being of a mighty nation ; the people's position will be miserably degraded if we strike not the effective blow ; and we are farther of opinion that Eng land's present Prime Minister is guilty of treason of the deepest dye." Mr. HAWKING presented the report of the committee to which was assigned the consideration of the obstruc tion of the river Danube. It declared that the com mittee had not been able to fully consider the subject, and that were it not for the interference of Russia the river would be navigable. Mr. HAFFERTY brought forward the report of the com mittee respecting the probable effects of the war, which were said to be ruinous indeed to England. The Prime Minister was announced therein to be guilty of treason of the deepest dye/ Mr. LANGLI produced a report on the policy of Eng land with reference to the fall of Poland and Hungary, and the document, after reviewing all the transactions in connection with the partition of Poland, concluded as follows :—" After having thus betrayed Hungary, he seat an insulting letter to Austria, which clearly shows that it was not for her he had woven his web of deceit. Our verdict, therefore, against Lord P a l mers t on an d hi s colleagues, w ith regar d to the assassination of Poland, is, guilty." mr. COLLETT presented a report with reference to the Four Points, disapproving of all, and pronouncing the Government guilty. CHAS. ATTWOOD, Esq., then submitt e d th e a dd ress , which was unanimou s ly adopted, amidst loud and con tinued cheering. Mr. DALZELL then seconded the adoption of the ad dress, and in doing so, detailed an attempt which had been made within the last few days, by a son of the Inspector of the Worcestershire Police, to -obtain ad mission to one of the committees appointed by the Con ference, and to his having recommended the use of phy sical force. The speaker said they did not object to the police being on their committees, nor would they object to the soldiers—indeed, they would be happy to have them all ; but not by intrigue, not underhanded or un known to them. If the police wished to come to their committees, they had only to announce who they were and they would get all necessary information, as the Conference were fully determined not to have any secrecy, Mr.' LANGFORD next addressed the meeting, and urged upon them the necessity of immediate action, in order to secure the nation against the effects of intrigue and treachery. Mr. THOS. CHANDLER, of Stroud, in a brief speech, 'impressed upon the meeting the importance of watching Lord Palmerston, with reference to whom he said, " I hope a universal bunt of execratio n w ill go forth from this meeting and reverberate within the walls of that Russian fortress in Downing-street, and that ere to morrow morning the prime punster and blusterer of all England shall shake in his shoes." Three cheers were then given for Mr. D. Urquhart, three for the Queen, and three for the people, and the meeting displayed the utmost enthusiasm. Major ROLLAND then came forward-and proposed the following protest : —" That this meeting solemnly pro tests against the wrong and danger to the country of leaving any office of nation a l t rus t i n t h e h an d s of Vie count Palmerston, who stands denounced in the face of Parliament, by the Queen herself, as having abused her royal confidence, and who must therefore be supposed to remain in power only by means of some unconstitutional coercion ; who stands convicted by documentary evi dence of having deceived the Parliament by falsified and garbled public papers and despatches ; and who also stands accused of having, through many years, aided the inimical designs of Russia, by men whose charges have never been replied to, nor ever investigated before any competent tribunal ; but which have been investigated and established before that Conference, whose reports thereon have now been laid before and have been adopted by this meeting." The gallant Major said the protest he had just read required no comment from him, and he should leave it with the meeting upon its merits. Mr. G. CRAWSHAY, of Newcastle, seconded the adop tion of the protest, which was put and carried amidst renewed cheering. The opinion of the meeting was next taken relative to the course which had been pursued by Mr. Collett and Mr. Hart, at the recent Polish meeting held in London. Mr. COCKBURN, of Newcastle, brought forward the subject, and having contended that the Polish raeeting was a complete sham, he eulogised the conduct of Mr. Collett and Mr. Hart, in having exposed the imposition sought to be practised upon the public by the friends of Lord Palmerston, and, in conclusion, proposed a resolu tion, highly approving of their conduct. Mr. BIRRETT, of Nottingham, seconded the resolu- tion, which wag carried. Mr. COLLETT returned thanks, and, in doing so, went over the reasons which induced him to protest against the proceedings at the late meeting in London, observing that on looking at the noblemen and others who took part in the meeting, it was obvious they were present by the order and advice of Lord Palmerston, and that was sufficient to induce him to question the propriety of the movement. cheering, the iel e et- ing, alr.nla). was l.J receivedeoulieor wtheititpluroesd andented himself continued which lasted some time ; after w hi c h h e spoke at length upon some of the main points set forth in the various _ reports of the coininittc e , , and concluded an animated t o ad dress amidst renewed applause. that they would purpose of inquiry had been formed,labai l tants in that hall, hold' monthly meetings of the He i moved the following resolu tion Mr. DALzELL then announced that an association for the and :report progress. which have been inveati• great and important questions eo inittees have fully proved, :—" That it is the opinion gateil by the various sub- culpability, neglect, and treachery beyond a doubt, the ,the nionof this meeting,that the late and present Admi nistrations the leading members of andst is the duty of the members of and assisted by the country, to trietie efforts until the guilty parties continue their patriotic And we are farther of opinion n th is e tl' C a o t are preu g ht to.lus" save this country from ; der to . impending ruin, that, 'n order eeein that vitality which England niofeerse;nce:bdaetrii and !rest"' -:'-' d it is imperativelynecessary that immediate steps large to meet the emergenciee of futureoperations." sesse , ' be taken to raise r. i:nrid amongst the operatives, suffici irr.

The meeting was enthusiastic, and, on the whole, signcant, and not to be despised. A. serious foreign reverse would ma k e the movement formidable in the present temper of the masses. AC CIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIIIII R A•IIWAY.—On Monday afternoon a collision took place at the Bolton station on the above line between a pas senger and a luggage train, which, happily, was not at tended by any fatal, or, we trust, permanently serious results. It was fortunate also that the train was a light one, there being only four carriages.

BISHOP OP LONDON'S PASTORAL LETTER.—Her Ma jesty's Government having refused to allow a Royal letter to be issued in favour of the church building and education societies, in accordance with a custom 104_ 1 : 1 1 has 'long prevail e d, the Bishop of London has isol_ a pastoral letter, addressed to the clergy of his dioceses THE LATE COLONEL TYLDEN. The late Colonel Richard Tylden of the Royal Engi neers, C. 8., .• and .Aide-de-Camp to the Q ueen , was ba rn on the 22d November, 1819. He. Was the second son of the late Bri g adier-General Tylden,- of the Royal En gineers,' andLecilena (his first wife) eldest daughter William Baldwin, Esq., of Stede Mil, in the county,of Colonel Tylden entered the Military Aea,d4mY atWool wicb, al a cadet, in 1834 ; second lieutenant in the Engineers, 14th December, 1837; .first lieutenant, I . 9th March, 1840 ; second captain, 9th No vember, 1346 ; brevet major, for his services at '.the Cape, 28t1} May, 1853 ; captain, I,7th February, 1854 ; brevet lieut.-colonel, 12th December, 1854 ' • colonel and aide-de-camp to the Queen, 29th June, 185 5 , and'Oemi panion, of the Bath at the same. time. He went on foreign service to Corfu, in Jan., 1840 ; remained there until April, 1844 ; then returned to England, aod was stationed at Portsmouth until 1847, when he was ordered to the Cape of Good Hope, where ho remained until 1854. Daring his service of five years at the Cape he was for more than two years constantly employed on a difficult but very important survey of the wild and' mountainous district of Kafir land, called the. Amatola mountains. On the breaking out of the Kafir war,- Sir Harry Smith gave him the command of the very extensive frOnder district of North Victoria, with his head.quarters at Whitlesea. The only force be had to protect-this large territory consisted of the small detachment of Sappers and Miners that had been with hini in his survey, about twenty mounted Burghers, and two or three ,hundred Fingoes. With this very small force he attacked and completely routed a body of 2,000 Kafka under the warlike chief •Sindilla, and thus secured the safety of the district entrusted to his command. This was the first and most successful general action with the.Kaffirs during the war, and, speaking of this daring and gallant exploit, Sir Harry Smith thus expressed hirmiel,f—"lf anything dashing is to be done, Tyiden is the man to do it." At the close of the war he got leave to return to England. On his arrival he found the war with Russia commenced ; his father appointed to the command of the engineers with the army under Lord Raglan, with the rank of brigadier-general, and that the situation of major of brigade was kept open for his acceptance. With the, true spirit of a gallant soldier he immediately accepted it, and although he had been nearly seven years absent from home and friends, in three weeks from his arrival he again embarked for the seat of war, and joined his father at Varna. He was present at the landing of the army in the Crimea, and at the battle of the Alma, and two days after that glorious battle he had the melancholy satisfaction of being with his gallant father when be died of cholera, brought on by the great fatigue he had gone through during the action, and afterwards the sad duty of depositing his remains in a soldier's grave, at a spot particularly marked on a plan he had made of the country around the battle-field. On arriving before Sebastopol he gave up his staff situation to share the more arduous and dangerous duties of the siege, and had the command of the right British attack. From that time until he received his fatal wound he was never absent from the trenches, was pre sent at every skirmish and sortie that took place near his batteries, and particularly distinguished himself in the attack and capture of the enemy's Rifle Pits and Ambuscades, in April last. In this attack his gallant conduct and scientific knowledge were highly eulogised by the lamented General Egerton, than whom uoue knew better how to distinguish merit amongst the offi cers under his command ; and he was mentioned in the despatches, on this and many other occasions, by Lord Raglan, who had the highest opinion of his experience and abilities. In the unfortunate attack of the 18th of June last he was most severely wounded in both legs, so much so that the medical officers did not think it safe to remove him to Scutari until the 28th of July, when he was unfortu nately attacked by diarrhoea, though his wounds were progressing favourably, which had such an effect upon his weakened and shattered frame that he sack under it on the 2d of August, the day after his arrival at Malta. Amongst the many gallant and noble spirits who have fallen in this war none are more regretted by the officers of his corps ; and so highly were Colonel Tylden's ser vices appreciated by his Queen that he was made one of her aides-de-camp, with the rank of colonel, and Com panion of the Bath—honours of which he was scarcely aware when death deprived his country of his services and his family of a beloved relative. We ought not to close this short memoir of a young and gallant soldier without recording the noble conduct of his mother•in-law, Mrs. Burton Tylden, who left Eng land for the Crimea the same day she received the news of his being severely wounded, and had the melancholy satisfaction of being with the young hero when his gal lant spirit left its mortal tenement for a better world. MR. W. S. ITTOODIN'S ENTERTAINMENT. Just now, when novelties in every conceivable variety in the shape of amusement are ministering to the public taste, which, no wonder, has in consequence grown rather fastidious, the ability of one individual, aided only by his own versatility of talent to inspire a mixed audience with good humour, and an unflagging interest in his exertions for two full hours, must obviously in volve no ordinary amount of capability, and a never failing repertoire. Such, however, is the case with Mr. Woodin, to whose new entertainment we have great pleasure in again calling attention. The Olio of Od dities, is, indeed, worthy of its eccentric designation, and although the season is fast waning, its attraction is not diminished in the least degree ; night after night finding the elegant salle at Polygraphic Hall—as its proprietor has characteristically christened it—filied with fashionable and delighted assemblages. Much more compact in itself, and defined in its object, than the Carpet Bag and .ketcle, Book, in which Mr. Woodin mile his debut with such signal success, the Olio affords a better and inure extended scope for the display of the remarkable genius that gentleman possesses for hitting off with striking fidelity the salient peculiarities of some of the oddities of human nature, supposed to be met with during an imaginary tour through the English lake district, and elsewhere. These portraitures, though purely fictitious, are so truthful, that, whilst viewing them one cannot resist the idea that we have met their prototypes somewhere or other in our intercourse with every-ttay life—and they are assumed by Mr. Woodin, one after the other, as illustrations of his mono logue in all the perfection of dress, voice, and manner with a rapidity which is quite astonishing. The agreeable character of the entertainment is much enhanced by a beautifully painted panorama of some of the most interesting scenery of the lakes, and the appropriate musical accompaniment of a clever pianist. As a whole, we could scarcely point to any public amusement where a more pleasing, and, indeed, instructive, evening could be spent. THE WEATHER AND TEE CROPS. The weather, which for the last six days .has been fine, is ripening the crops, and within these few days has effected a wonderful transformation. The sickle has already partially commenced operations. Some wheat is irretrievably lodged, but it is surprising how much even of that, by means of wind and sun, has filled up and ripened. A great deal of grass, owing to its being so long upon the ground, has become next to worthless. Of wheat we have observed many fields upright and un injured. Although much of the best wheat and barley too have suffered, still a great quantity that otherwise would have been poor and light, has been filled up and matured by the sun and rain.— Wolverkampton'aronicle. Notwithstanding the unfavourable weather during the last two or three weeks the harvest prospects in this dis trict are on the whole of a promising character, and in the course of another week or ten days the harvest will have become general. Several of our most successful farmers have already commenced operations. Our Egremont correspondent informs us that the sickle is already in active operation in the neighbourhood of Middletown, Nethertown, and Coulderton, and the yield everywhere is abundant.— Cumberland Pacquct.

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 15.—8 y the arrival of the Royal mail steam-ship La Plata we have received the particu lars of the loss of the Manchester, American ship, from the captain's son, one of two survivors of the ill-fated vessel : " On board the man-of-war Meteoro, Don B. V. Martinez, Commander, May 25, 1855. " The American ship Manchester, of Nantucket, left New York for Valparaiso on the 7th of April, 1854, the complement of hands on board being 17, 150(1 the captain's wife. One man died at sea before we arrived at Monte Video, which port we put into on the 24th of July, 1854, and again left on the 28th for Valparaiso, after having shipped four extra hands at Monte Video. "On the 28th of August, afterbavingpassed Cape Horn, the ship struck on a sunken rock in aboutsslat; south and to the westward of the Cape, the land being distant about 30 miles. Not being able to keep her free with the pumps we got the boats out, which were shortly afterwards stove, and afterwards the mainmast cut away. " At 12 o'clock the same night she was full of water, but continued to drift until 5 in the morning of the 29th, when, after passing a small island, she grounded, and in less than 20 minutes broke in two parts and all on board were im mersed in the water. The captain and his wife clung to gether, but by some chance they got separated, and the captain alone rose to the surface ; he immediately seized upon a plank, and succeeded in rescuing his son, and they drifted to the stern part of the vessel which remained until sunset, having concluded they were the only survivors of the ill-fated vessel. They then managed to get ashore on the island, where they found one barrel•of broad and an other of flour. " Four days after, the second mate and one seaman arrived at the island on a raft they had constructed on another island, on which they were cast, distant about 2i miles. Hose we remained while the captain was building a boat. We all crossed on the raft to the island on which the second mate first landed, where wasmuch of thewreck of the ship and cargo and provisions. On the 3d of No vember, the second mate died, being completely exhausted- His name was David Reese Evans, a native of South Wales. " On the 10th of November, we first saw any of the na tiies, loan aim three wonken having landed from a canoe. We had just finished our boat, and were.ready for starting. The. Indians, having first received what Would be spared to them of our clothes, &c., retired •;• and afterwards re turned with bludgeons, and insisted upon stripping us. Three attacked the captain and three theseaman, who havingdisabled two of them, fled to the boat in which the boy already was. Unfortunately, the captain received a blow which must have instantly killed him. Theboy re ceived two arrows in his jacket, but escaped unhurt. We landed on the island where part of the wreck still re mained ; we returned in the eveninc , and found the cap tain's body lying naked on the rocks' and quite dead. Not daring to remain, we took two barrels of bread and jumped to the wreck. After remaining some days, indeed several days, we ventured along the coast in our boat. At the end of about six weeks, we found the provisions all ex pended, and subsisted on such shellfish as we could gather among the rocks. After subsisting for some time in this way, a native canoe again hove in sight ; being then quite destitute of any means of subsisting for a month at least, except raw shellfish, we gave ourselves up to the Indians, and, having nothing to excite their cupidity, they be haved very kindly tolls, and with them we have remained up to this present time, having n ever once seen a vessel until a steamer passed a few days since, but had no coin • munication with her. I have only to add, that our eternal gratitude is due to the captain of the Meteoro, who has not only taken us on board, fed and clothed us, but in many instances ful filled the promises made by us to the Indians to induce them to take as on board."
