The Directors have heard with regret of the Resolution Passed at the General Meeting of the Eastern Counties Company, in reference to the amalgamation with this Company. As the whole p r oceeding has evidently taken place under great excitement, the !rectors of the Norfolk Company caunot but hope that the subject Will receive more mature consideration before any attempt is made on the part of the Eastern Counties Company to repudiate an agreement entered into wills the sanction of Special .Meetings of the Proprietors of both Companies, upon the faith of _ w hich the Lisle and Works of this Company have for the last ten months bean placed in the uncontrolled possession of the Eastern Counties Company, and treated by them iu every respect as their ~O w n property. In the meantime, the Shareholders of the Norfolk ' ° lnPally may be assured, that any such attempt, if made, will be most strenuously resisted by their Directors, who rely with the most Perfect confidence upon the justice of Parliament, for the protection Of this Company's rights, after an impartial inquiry shall have been Made into all the circumstances of the case.

ANOVELTY. —There has lately been registered an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Genlle man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some what in the form of a dress-coat— that is to say, it can be worn without any distinct infringement of th• laws of cos tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ; but yet the garment Is more especially intended fer morning wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each will maintain his own idea as to the requisite case necessary for its fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of their patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, Fe that a sdection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or the wearer's own taste—thus at once 0i..-i.ttaa any annoyance arising from the cutter - not Ithmediateloly comprehending• what is wanted.

When the hair is becoming thin, and falling eff, the only ef fectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above named articles, applied alternately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bear's grease as a nou risher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bear's grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Air. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London, who first introduced the use of bear's grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.

Grimstoae, of the lierbary, High ,ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair's much stronger and more luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to: the virtues of Mr. G.'s ttegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I is. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex ,erlence, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund ance, but as a care of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itt far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any tady of respectability to the &be ve fact .-3, Swan-street, 13srotign." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, naake it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the !lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic kerbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases el nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very had, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If sued on infants' heads, It has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. ♦llietteri addressed to William Grimstone, Het barn Highgate.

Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestie happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

MATLOCK Fair.-This fair, which was held on Monday, was one of the most flat and spiritless affairs ever known at a similar season. The show of cattle was scanty, and those ex hibited were by no means of first-rate quality, while the buyers were neither numerous or anxious for business. A few in - calvers and fresh barrens changed hands at tolerable prices, but we do not hear of any other transactions in stock worthy of notice. The town, however, towards evening, beg an t o ap pear snore gay and animated, in consequence of the influx of railway workmen and rustic belles and beaux, but even these would be compelled to provide, or create their amuse ments, as although the day was remarkably fine, the giants, dwarfs, fire-eaters and magicians of the north, south, and all sorts of places, stopped at home—or at least did not visit Matlock to astonish it with their wonders. It was remarked that the fortnightly market at Bakewell bad the effect of re ducing the amount of business formerly transacted at this fair. —Derbyshire Chronicle. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—BiIIions Complaints, Indiges tion, Flatulency, and Affections of the Liver may be Cured by Holloway's Pills.—Symptoms indicative of these disorders are a feeling of nausea, distention and spasmodic pain in the stomach, sense of oppression and sinking after eating, want of appetite, heart burn, languor, dejection of spirits, and general debility. The removal of the cause of complaint is the most important step, for which have recourse to Holloway's Pills, as they possess such cleansing and renovating properties that the action of the liver is speedily corrected, the re dundancy of bile carried off, the stomach strengthened, the spirits revived, and the patient is restored to perfect health.

WELSII CHARITY SERMON.-,ST. DAVID'S DAY.— The 134th anniversary took place yesterday at St. George's, Hanover-square, one of the four churches used in turn. Prayers were read in the ancient British lan guage as usual; but the children, from an immediate cir cumstance, which it is hoped will not last long, were un able to attend. It is painful also to the lovers of the Principality to find that the funds are at present de pressed, that only half the vacancies can be filled up, and that there are 15 children less than last year, when there were 200. Twelve months more, it is earnestly hoped, will afford a more cheering report; the mere knowledge of the fact, amongst the sons and daughters of the moun tain-land, which has generously distinguished itself :in proportion to its sizo hitherto, not to speak of English amity for six centuries, will doubtless "fetch up" the deficiency. The Bishop of St. Asaph preached, and appealed with feeling to those who had themselves felt the powers and difficulties of temptations, to give to the poor the early defence of education and religious in struction. THE GALLERIES AT THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—It will be remembered that some time ago a change took place in the management of the galleries at the Central Criminal Court, the:sheriffs taking them into their own hands and employing money-takers of their own, the fee for admission being under all circumstances one shilling. Before that time the galleries were " leased" at the rate of 251 per session to a Mr. Reeve, who regulated the charge for admission according to the peculiar nature of the case under investigation. A few months' experience has told the sheriffs that the regular rate of one shilling each was not quite so remu nerative as the letting of them to Mr. Reeve for a stipulated sum ; and as Mr. Reeve Was willing to become the lessee again if the sheriffs would reduce their terms, an arrangement was last week made between him and the sheriffs. Yesterday, Mr. Reeve took pos session of the gallery keys, and the individuals who were " formerly i n hi s emp l oy as agents again made their appearance. Mr. R e eve, it is understood, is i n f u t ure to pay at the rate of 2501. a year for the galleries, the amount to be charge for admission being, as formerly, entirely optional on his part. The receipts of the galle ries whilst they were under the control of the sheriffs fell far short of 201. per session. Buenos Ayres' dates come down to the 16th of December. The outbreak of disturbances in Pernam buco is mentioned, but not in any marked manner. Ac cording to these accounts, the trade of the Oriental coast in the immediate neighbourhood of Monte Video was far from being in a satisfactory position, vessels being every now and then seized, and their restoration only effected by the payment of a ransom. Mercantile affairs were quiet at Buenos Ayres.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.--WOOLWICH, MARCH I.—An order was issued yesterday evening for the first three companies on the roster for foreign service to hold them selves in readiness to embark on the 15th of the present month for service in Canada—Captain M'Coy's com pany, sth battalion, and Captain Tuite's company, 4th battalion, to relieve Captain Crofton's company, 7th battalion, at Montreal; and Major Burn's company, 3d battalion, at Kingston, Canada, since June, 1843. Major Hennis's company, 2d battalion, at present in the Field battery here, is the third company under orders for Canada, and is not intended:to relieve another company, but to augment the strength of the Royal Artillery in North America. The augmentation causes a change in the destinations of the companies next on the list for foreign service, and Captain Townsend's company, 4th battalion, at present at Glasgow and Fort George, aro expected to return immediately to head- quar t ers , pre paratory to proceeding to the Mauritius in May next; and Major Lethbridge's company, sth battalion, will return to head-quarters about, the same time to embark for the Cape of Good Hope. The Atholl troop-ship, at present at Woolwich, is to embark the three companies for Canada. COMMISSION of L UNAC r.—Yesterday a commission de lunatico inquirendo was opened at the King's Arms Inn, Haswell, Middlesex ' before Mr. Commissioner Winslow and fifteen sp ec i a l jurors, to inquire into the state of mind of Warren George Mangin, Esq., aged thirty-four, a son of the late Admiral Mangin, a gentle man possessed of property of about 3,000/. a year. The commission, which was unopposed, was taken out at the instance of an uncle, A. Mangin, Esq., of Southampton, and a brother, Henry Marcus Mangin, Esq., barrister at-law. In its support appeared Mr. A. J. Stephens as counsel. The evidence of Dr. Sutherland, jun., Sir A. Morison, and other witnesses, tended to show that the mind of the unfortunate gentleman became first impaired as far back as July, 1836, shortly after his return from the East Indies, where he had been serving as a midship man in her Majesty's navy. Mr. Mangin himself under went a long examination by Commissioner Winslow, and a unanimous verdict was returned, dating the unsound ness of mind from the 30th November, 1845. WATERFORD, IF.B. 28.—The Emma, from Port Tal bot, sunk in the int:rbour yesterday; crew saved. [SECOND NOTICE By far the larger portion of this, the fourth and concluding volume of Mr. Macgregor's most valuable work, is devoted to the statistics of Oriental commerce, including, of course, a history of the origin and pro gress of the British dominion in Hindustan and of the English East India Company. The history of the Company should he attentively studied by every free-trader. It is a complete illustration of the truth of free-trade doctrines. The East India Com pany originated in necessity—its formation was a practical protest against the monopoly doctrines and practices by the Dutch "In 1599, Queen Elizabeth appointed Sir John Mil- denhall as ber minister to traveroverland, by the route of Constantinople, to the Great Mogul. He arrived at the court of that potentate, and applied for trading pri vileges to an English company. He aas opposed by the Portuguese at that court; but he finally succeeded to a partial extent. Individual enterprise, in regard to the risk of undertaking uncertain adventures, was paralysed by the disastrous fate of Raymond's expedition. The Dutch had, however, opened a successful trade to India. At this juncture England,' says Methuen, not being able to get supplied with Eastern commodities from Lisbon, on account of the war, could only obtain them through the medium of •the Dutch,...w her own Turkey Company, by way of the Levant. - The Dutch, taking advantage of this circumstance, raised the pepper upon us, from about area shillings to the extravagant rate of six and eight shillings per pound. Aggrieved by this imposition, the merchants of London conceived an idea of putting in for a share of this trade. A meeting was accordingly called on the 22d of September, 1599, at Founders' Hall, at which the Lord Mayor and most of the Alderman and principal merchants of the City, to the number of 101, attended, and agreed to form an association, for the purpose of establishing a commercial intercourse with India direct. The sum raised for that purpose was 30,1331 6s. Bd." Soon after the Company was incorporated they sent out their first venture, which returned to the merchant-adventurers a net profit of 95 per cent. The anti-free-traders of the day objected to this com merce in silks and spices carried on by the East India Company, as the anti-free-traders of the present day object to a commerce in corn, that it drains the country of specie. This fallacy was admirably exposed as early as the year 1616 : "A pamphlet published at this time, entitled' Trade's Increase,' charges the East India trade as draining the country of specie, among other alleged evils. Sir Dudley Digges, who answered these charges, says that, the company had employed, from the it origin, twenty four ships, of which four had been lost; that nineteen of them were from 150 to 600 tons' burden; that one was of 800 tons, one of 900, one of 1,060, one of 1,100, and one of 1,293 tons ; and that the reason for having such large ships was owing to the navy not being sufficiently strung to protect them from the Barbary rovers.' He states that the largest value of goods exported in cne year was 36,0001.; that 70,0001. had been saved annually to the nation in the prices of pepper, cloves, and nut megs for home consumption ; that spices had been ex ported in the last year to the value of 218,000/, besides indigo, calicoes, China silks, and drugs, to which should be added the king's customs, and also the employment given to ships and mariners in the re-exportation. " That besides cinnamon, the Company calculated that there were annually consumed at home, viz.:—pepper, formerly at Bs. but now at 2s. per lb., 450,000 lbs.; cloves, 50,000 lbs.; mace, 15,000 lbs.; nutmegs, 100,000 lbs.; and that the cloves, mace, and nutmegs were pro portionably reduced in price since our direct trade to India. That the cargoes, in 1614, amounted to 100,0001. and consisted of bays, kersies, and broad cloths, dyed and dressed, 14,000/. ; lead, iron, and foreign merchandise, 10,000/4 treasure (which is less than allowed to export by charter), 12,0001.; the shipping and furniture cost in the same year, 34,0001.; for provisions and other extra ordinary charges, 30,0001." No doubt the Protectionists of that day had the same objection to cheap spices that the Protectionists of the present day has eto cheap corn and cheap sugar. In the time of Cromwell the experiment of absolute free trade with India was tried : - "From the commencement of the Company's estab lishment complaints bad often been made against their exclusive trade to India. Cromwell, by way of experi ment, declared the navigation and commerce to India open and free to all for three years. Milburn remarks: All ranks eagerly embarked in the trade. The conse quence of this permission is thus truly stated by an in telligent author—" When the East India trade was laid open, they afforded India commodities so cheap, that they supplied more parts of Europe, and even Amster dam itself therewith, than ever they did after, whereby they very much sunk the East India Company's actions;" and there was also a great lowering of English com modities in India.' In this year the Company made up the actual state of their affairs, by which it appeared that their assets amounted to 185,589/. 75., and their debts to 29,271/. 19s. 4d., leaving a balance in their favour of 156,317 L 7s. Bd.' " In consequence, however, of the representations of the proprietors of the East India Company of the great expense they had incurred in erecting factories, &c., the charter was renewed in 1657. Still the outcry about the drain of specie continued, and was met in the following manner by Sir Josiah Child : " In the year 1670, Sir Josiah Child, who was an East Indian director, published his Discourses on Trade.' In that work he maintains with respect to the Indian trade, that, " I. It employs from twenty-five to thirty of the most warlike merchant ships of the kingdom, with sixty to 100 mariners in each. " 11. It supplies the kingdom constantly and fully with that necessary article, saltpetre. " 111. It supplies the kingdom for its consumption, with pepper, indigo, calicoes, and several useful drugs, to the ♦alue of from 150,000/ to 180,000/. per annum. " IV. It also supplies materials for carrying on our trade to Turkey, viz., pepper, eowries, calicoes, and painted stuffs ; as also for our trades to France, Spain, Italy, and Guinea, to the amount of near 300,000 L per annum, most of which trades we could not carry on with any considerable advantage but for those supplies. And those goods exported do produce in foreign parts, to be returned to England, six times the treasure in specie which the Company export to India. He there fore concludes— " That although the East India Company's imports greatly exceed its exports of our manufactures, yet fur the above reasons it is clearly a gainful trade to the nation.' lie subjoins also, " ' Ist. That if we had not this trade ourselves, the single article of saltpetre, so absolutely necessary for making gunpowder, would cost a vast annual sum to purchase it from the Dutch. " 2d. The loss of so many stout ships and mariners would be a great detriment to the nation. 3d. Were we forced to buy all our pepper, cali coes, &c., from the Dutch, they would make us pay as dear for them as we do for their nutmegs, mace, cloves and cinnamon; and if we did not use calicoes, we should fall into the use of foreign linens.'" In consequence of the outcry against the East India Company, as lesseners of the consumption of English manufactures, Parliament actually enacted an absolute prohibition of the wear of all Indian cotton fabrics in England, muslin only excepted. While this prohibi tion lasted the wear of Indian cottons in England was very great, and they could always be procured without difficulty, the only effect of the prohibition being to throw the trade into the hands of the smuggler. The prohibition was removed, from that moment the smuggling trade began to decline, and now English cottons have not only driven Indian cottons completely out of the English and all neutral market!, but actually compete with them advantageously. in the Indian markets themselves. Another curious illustration of the truth of the doctrines of free trade is afforded by the history of the East India Company ' as a trading body. A s l ong as they hadcompetitors in the India n mar k e t, suc h as the French the .Portu guese, the Dutch, s o long did they carry on the trade at a profit, but w hen they had entirelyr monopolised without corn the whole trade of India, and «' ere the time the trade petitors, they traded at a loss. At was thrown open in 1834_ , it was at losing tr effectsade to the East India Company. S uc h are the blighting of monopoly. We m ust postpone our notice of Mr. Mac gregor ' s account of the history of the rise and ext ension of the British power in India to another opportunity. REDUCTION IN THE ARMY.—The mules of about 300 soldiers were returned to the Horse Guards, for discharge from the regiment in Cork garrison. It is, however, understood that a letter has been received in. tirnating that at present compliance with the order direct ing discharge would not be required. DUBLIN, THURSDAY. --THE WRIT OF ERROR. — It has been intimated to the state prisoners that the arguments on th e wr i t of error, in the case of bmith O'Brien and others against the Queen, cannot be entered into at the very earliest, before the 20th of May, but more probably not until a month later, namely, the 20th of June.

The directors of " The London Wednesday Concerts avail themselves of this opportunity of tendering to the public and to the press their grateful acknowledgment s for the unprecedented patronage and support which these concerts have received. They were fully aware at the onset of the numerous difficulties which sur rounded the establishment of an undertaking of this character; yet, being convinced of the want of such an entertainment, and being resolved on their part to carry it through with energy and liberality, they were led to hope that neither the patronage of the public nor sup port of the press would be wanting. The result has far exceeded their roost sanguine expectations; and in the short space of fifteen weeks, "The L on d on W e d nes d a y Concerts" havyaken a position as one of the first musical entertainments of the metropolis. The fifteen concerts hill have been attended by upwards of thirty nine thousand persons, and the performances through out the series have received the kind approval of the whole of the daily and weekly press. The directors cannot but congratulate themselves upon the fact, that, at this, the conclusion of the fifteen con certs, they are not aware of a single promise made, or hope held out, in their original prospectus, but which has been fully redeemed; and that they have, moreover, been enabled, by the liberal patronage bestowed, to alai' themselves of a variety and amount of musical talent which they hardly dared to hope for when the series was commenced. The directors feel it their duty to acknowledge their grateful sense of the zeal and ability of the various artists, vocal and instrumental, who have been engaged during the season; this acknowledgment is most pecu liarly due to Mr. Sims Reeves, to whose great talent and active cooperation, upon all occasions, and in every manner which was conceived to be to the interest of the undertaking, although, in many instances (at the time), directly opposed to his own taste and wishes, the directors feel they are in a great measure indebted for the success they have achieved. In conclusion, they beg leave to announce, that, for the supplemental season, most of the principal artistes who have appeared during the past season are retail:ed. The services of Mr. Sims Reeves have been secured for each evening. Several new engagements have also been made, which include Mademoiselle Nissen (three nights), Mademoiselle Helene Stoepel (three nights), Messrs. Travers, Lawler, Noble, 13 riecialdi, and others. Negotiations are also pending with other artistes of eminence; and no effort will be wanting, on the part of the management, to endeavour to maintain the favour able opinion, and liberal patronage, which the public - have been pleased, up to the present time, to bestow upon " The London lednesday Concerts."

OXFORD, MARCH I.—l❑ a convocatioi, holden this afternoon, the honorary degree of Doctor in Divinity was conferred on the Rev. George Smith, M.A., of Mag dalen Hal, Bishop Designate of Victoria, in Hong Kong, China. The Rev. Gentleman was introduced to convo cation by the Rev. Dr. Jacobson, Regius Professor of Divinity, who, in a suitable Latin oration, urged his claim upon the notice of his auditors for this important degree. The convocation was rather a large one. We noticed several heads of houses, as well as Masters of Arts and Proctors. The ladies' gallery was numerously attended, and a great many under-graduates were also present. - At the same time the grant from the University chest of 200/. towards the restoration of the church of Draycot le•Moors received the unanimous sanction of the house. The names of the Rev. John Robert Oldham, M.A. of Oriel College, and the Rev. John Buckle, M.A., of St. Mary Hall, were also ordered to be restored to the re gister of convocation. THE HARBOUR MASTERSHIP OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—The Port of London Committee were to have met yesterday, at Guildhall, for the purpose of electing a principal harbour-master, but the election was postponed till this day, in consequence of the holding of a Court of Common Council, at which the members of thecommitteo were obliged to attend. Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., enter tained at dinner last evening the French Ambassador, Vice-Admiral Cecile, Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas, C. 8., M.P., Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, and a party of friends. During some portion of the time the gallant host held the command-in-chief in China and the East Indies we believe Admiral Cecile commanded the French naval forces on that station. GOLD FROM CALIFORNIA.-.lt was reported in the City yesterday that intelligence had been received at the Babk of England to the effect that her Majesty's sur veying brig Pandora, Lieut. Commander Wood, was comitg home from the Pacific with a freight of " gold diggins," to the amount of nine tons—or to the value of 900,000/. sterling. This will give the lucky commander about 11,0001. for the freightage, the admiral's share will be 2,8761., and Greenwich iospital will benefit to a like amount. DUDLEY CRANBOURNE. BY SICEFTINGTON MOORS. ( —This novel sets out with more than one startling fact in woman's history, two of which lend their hue to all the rest of the story. One is the lapse from honour in the wife of an earl, described as a most magnanimous character (as he is drawn in relation to his frail lady, in remembrance of their former love, and for the sake of their only son); and the other is the equal fall of a virtuous and high-spirited widow, in coenexion with the aforesaid Noble Lord, and the sad consequences thereof. The most original feature of the work is the gradually descending career of the widow. It is not overstrained, nor un mixed with traits of her original goodness and purity. She is a female and novel Lucifer—truckling and base, and sensual under the pressure of her condition, but re taining qualities unobliterated, though confused, of her former self- esteem and womanly worth. We consider this portrait to possess very uncommon truth and na tural reality."—Literary Gazette. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—In our obituary of this week we notice the death of Miss Sarah Maria Dancocks, daughter of the late H. H. Dancocks, Ek.q., of DJ mock, in this county, and sister to Mrs. Thomas Higgins, of Dingwood Perk, Herefordshire. It appears that this esteemed young lady left Ledbury on Saturday (17th ult.), in a gig, to return to her residence at Dymock, accompanied by an attendant as driver, and when a short distance from Ledbury the horse, owing to some cause arising from the inebriated state of the driver, ran off at a rapid rate, and both were precipitated with fearful violence to the ground. The driver was incapable ;of rendering Miss Dancocks any assistance; but she was discovered some time after the accident lying on the road in a senseless state, and wasimmedi ately brought back to Ledbury, where every assistance which human aid could bestow and skill suggest, was rendered by Drs. Tanner and Goat, but the injuries she had sustained were of so fatal a nature that she never rallied, and died on the following day.— Cheltenham Examiner. THE JERSEY COLLEGE.--On Tuesday last there was a meeting of the Administrators of the Impot and the Committee of the States, appointed to co-operate with them, with a view of erecting in the island. After some deliberation, the majority of the meeting rejected the revised plans of Mr. Buckler, and also decided not to allow more than 5,500/. towards the erection of a college.
