It is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation of 11,m1th, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body, and which is so frequently overlooked or improperly treated, from either prejudice or mistake It is, therefore, of importance that every person should be acquainted with the common symptoms of worms, which are—disagreeable odour of the b - oath, fevered tongue, particular heavily ss or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, especially the upper lip, frequent itching of the nose, an unequal state of the pulse, appetite very irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and at other times the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short, dry cough, great thirst, vomiting, starlings during sleep and grinding of the teeth, frequent pains in the sides, listlessness, and want of inclination to take ex ercise, inflammation of the eyes, &c. &c. These are some of the general symptoms of being afflicted with worms; adults as well as children are subject thereto. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have recourse to this old-established medicine, which is adopted by numerous families as a general medicine, particularly in spring and autumn. Sold in boxes, at 2P. 9d. and 4s. 6d., and for children at Is. I%d.

Reader, remember, this letter was put tut the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor. trinity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herb:try, High gate for the eleacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, snd the whole of her hairis much stronger and more luxuriant than I over was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7"the virtues of Mr. (l.'s Regenator, feeling essured that many ladies would gladly purchase an l I s, bottle Utley were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume id far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any tady of respectability to the above fact 1-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, Mow drone on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace 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 ❑air brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the meat aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, peer tea or twelve drops en the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat It every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair 00 children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heo,-Is, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.---See &raphlet of testimonials.

Mr. James Meek, Lord Mayor of York, who is at present chairman of the company, presided. There was a numerous attendance of share holders. The CHAIRMAN stated that it was his duty'to bring be fore the meeting two reports, the fourth arid fifth of the Committee of Investigation. They were closely cou nected, and therefore he proposed to move that the 3 should at once be received. The business of the day was of no small importance. They were in possession now of the state of the affairs of the company. After the whole of their liabilities had been discharged, the corn mittee—and'he was not aware that they had overlooked any point either unwittingly or designedly—had come to the conclusion that the company would have'a balance of nearly eight thousand pounds, which would be available for dividend. But there was a further sum due on arrears of shares which had not been re et fired. About 14,000/. of that amount was in connexion e ills Mr. Hudson, who stated, however, that he had coun ter-claims on the company. Till those matters were un ravelled, it was impossible to state exactly what amount would be at their disposal. The great business of the day was the appointment of directors, and the determi nation of what should be their number. The number recommended by the committee was eight—eight honest, persevering, upright men.—((fear, hear.) He did not despair of the elasticity of the company. He would make ao hasty estimate of what it would yet produce, but this he would say, that within his experience there was no other railway so favourably circumstanced. They had a traffic line of nearly 150 &ler :ong, whieee went through mineral or coal district. 6uch lines as that to Rich- mond could never be very productive, but branches through the coal districts would prove unquestionably of oenefit to the main line. Pits would ere long ba opened beyond Newcastle, which a ould increase the traffic on the line between Berwick and Newcastle. People ought he not venturedto be too t o m ythat manage mentd yet proves one of the best in the country. He would not rank it with the seconder third class; he ranked it with the s u a ch this alarmed. line N Vi th would ge arst.—(Hear, hear.) It was for the shareholders now to appoint directors who should so manage the company's affsil s that the large expenditure which had been incur red should be turned to the best advantage. It would also be necessary to appoint auditors. The committee did not propose to nominate any individual or indi viduals; they felt it their duty to stand in an independent position. Their great duty was to bring before the shareholders the circumstances in which this great undertaking stood. It was for the shareholder s t o se l ect tlsose in whom they had confidence to act in the capacity of directors nod auditors. He would not enter into de tails with respect to the reports; they were in the hands of the shareholders; and it was now the part of ,he shareholders to express their opinions on the sub ject. He should move that the fourth and fifth reports be now received. Mr. MARTINEAU begged to ask why the Great North of England purchase account laud not come before the committee, and also whether any statement could be made with respect to the balance of 288,0001.? Mr. LOVE explained that the account had not been exam'ned, because the time of the accountants was fully occupied with the other accounts that day. When it was considered that they had had to take the accounts from 1842 to 1849 and almost reconstruct them, he thought the reason he had assigned would be felt to be a valid one. The committee had looked into the matter, how ever, and as the result of their examination th e y h a d stated that a very important .erPF-1144 been committed by the officers of the company., Mr. MARTINEAU wished to company,: whether he might not gather from that statement of Mr. Love that the rest of the balance would really be forthcoming? Mr. LOVE—Undoubtedly so. The fourth and fi!th reports were then received. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the reports be aVopted. Mr. MAcLAnEN seconded the motion. Mr. WYLIE then said be had never risen with feelings of so much embarrassment to address the shareholders, because he was deeply convinced of the importance of the occasion which had called them together. As an in dividual shareholder he must be permitted to say, with respect to the committee of investigation, that ho was penetrated Kith admiration of their ability, which was only equalled by their zeal. The reports dealt with matters which appeared more to belong to the regions of romance than of reality. No man. could read the sad toles they disclosed without blushing to learn that in this country, and in the present day, there should be found men who had ventured on conduct which was branded as infamous. He would call upon them to demand that expiation, that public satisfaction, which they had a right at common law to demand. A production had been revealed such as must ever after form part of the Complete Letter Writer. Ho referred to the corre spon,lence between Mr. Close and Ma!Allport.—(Hisses.) From that specimen it might be imagined what had been the conduct of those who ordered such things to be done. Mr. Close wrote to Mr. Allport that the half year was not long enough—(Laughter)—and that a a week was wanted out of the next half year ; and Mr. Allport most accommodatingly yielded, with a little de mur indeed, but not because there was any impropriety in deluding shareholders, but because his books were made up, and it was inconvenient.—(Hear, hear.) This was not the proper time for submitting the motion which ho held in his hand, but it was to the effect that legal proceedings be instituted against every one of those gentlemen.—(Much cheering.) He was astonished that, with these facts patent, some shareholders were found•still to wish to retain the service of one of these gentlemen. It would be the duty of the directors to take legal proceedings against them if his motion should be carried; but every shareholder had as much right to take such proceedings, and if from ary party manoeuvres he should be outvoted -(Cries of " You won't be !")—he would pledge him self to join any gentleman who would insist on having that reparation which perhaps a clique might deny to justice.—(Cheers.) He was almost ashamed to hear it argued that, on the ground of expediency, the services of one of these gentlemen should be retained ; but, as it had been put on that ground, he would meet that argu ment. It was urged that Mr. Piews had much local knowledge and experience ; granted, but place against that the fact of his name being signed to the cooking of the accounts.—(Hear.) Mr. Wood, it was said, had a contract under the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Com pany.—(Mr. Wood—" No.") Indeed ! was he not supplying the company with coke ?—(Mr. Wood— " They thought proper to take coke from a colliery in which I am concerned, but they arc quite at liberty not to do it whenever they think proper. They took it be cause there was no other colliery at that end of the line.") He (Hr. Wylie) should speak plainly. Mr. Wood's answer was a subterfuge. He admitted that the company took coke of him, only it was not under a con tract—there was no signed contract.—(Cheers.) Similar remarks might be made respecting Mr. Allport; but enough had been said. His connexion with the com pany, and that of all these gentlemen, must now termi naue—(A. voice, " No." Laughter.) There was one solitary "No."—(Mr. Glynn, of Newcastle—" Those are not the facts." Mr. Sidney—" Is there any motion before the meeting." Cries of " Order, order.") Be fore, however, coming to the question who were the parties in whom to place confidence, it was proper to in quire upon what principle confidence was to be given. The object should be to obtain responsibility, efficiency, and honesty in management. With these three things obtained, be should not want to hear of Government auditors; he would be his own auditor.—(Hear hear.) The chief of these requisites—responsibility of direc tors to those who appointed them —was, in his opinion, to be secured by having properly remunerated officers. —(Hear, hear.) He remembered once, when he had made some observations which were not vita palat able to Mr. Hudson, the latter told the meeting that he bad only 801. a year. That was a most unfortunate 801.—(Hear, hear.) There should be men at the head of the company's affairs who would not merely give their time for one or two days in the week, but make the company's business their occupation.—(Hear, hear.) How could this or any property thrive with what, after all, was amateur management? Gentlemen gave to these matters their spare time; but their active time was what was wanted.—(Hear, hear.) Proper remuneration would secure efficiency and responsibility. Some gentlemen objected to the expense ; what was the expense of the last management? The directors had 2,5001. a year, Mr. Allport 1,000/., Mr. Close 1,6001-5,100/. a year could not have been laid out to worse purpose.—(Hear, hear.) Half the money might have been applied with goad effect to secure the object in view.—(Hear, hear.) At present, however, it seemed the company were bound by Act of Perlianentjand could not have less than eight directors; and if so, the next best mode appeased to be that recom mended by the committee; but if there were to be three managing directors, as suggested by the committee, they must give their whole time and services to the affairs of this company, and have no other occupation.—(Hear.) There was one point which he must notice, as it had been so strongly pres s ed u pon him by correspondents. All w h o had moved among railway shareholders must know the grave depression, if not poverty,, caused in many quar ters by reduced dividends, and, in some cases none at all; but he was bound to say, though with much grief in regard to the parties so inconvenienced, that he thought the proposition of the committee to pay no dividend at all was the just one in the present position of the company.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the prospects of th e com p an y, he would say h e did not be lieve there existed a better property in the kingdom than this lice, if it h a d e t cient management —(H ear , h ear .) Only let the shareholders not give their votes to cliques or parties, but throw aside all private considerations and sectional differences. He looked for such an increase upon this line as would make it one of the best railway investments in the kingdom.—(fleer, hear.) But whether it should be so or not would depend upon the principles the shareholders laid down, and the persons they now no minated. Most earnestly would be beseech them to put aside all personal antagonistic feelings, and do their duty to themselves.—(Cheers.) Mr. GLYNN explained that he had interrupted Mr. Wylie because he was misrepresenting facts. He would add that he had seen Mr. Ailport in various cases, and bad never seen anything in his conduct but what was perfectly honourable, and if gentlemen would read his letter calmly, and consider that he was but the second officer of the company, the secretary being the first, and Mr. Hudson the chairman, they would see that there was really nothing done by him that a perfectly honest man might not do.—(0h!) Mr. ALLPORT felt called upon to ask for a few minutes of the time of the meeting, in consequence of the severe terms in which he had been animadverted upon by Mr. Wylie. His conscience perfectly acquitted him in re gard to the motives imputed to him by Mr. Wylie. He was the second officer cf the company. He received his instructions from Mr. Close. He knew that companies were in the habit of making up their accounts to the end of the week. his own system had always been to make them up to the end of the month, and he had sent them in so made up. The account was returned to him to add the week's traffic, and he did so. He could declare upon his honour that if every director and shareholder had come to him and asked him to alter a single figure, he never would have done it—(Hear, hear) and he did not think his letter would bear the construction put upon it by Mr. Wylie. He had nothing to do with the making up the half-yearly accounts; he never saw them; his were merely subsidiary accounts. Ho never saw the inside of the books at York (as we understood); he never dictated a singl3 figure or line in hose books ; he knew n );hing about them.—(Hcar, hear.) lie merely acted upo.i the instructions of the secretary, and his lette-, taken candidly and fairly, in the position he held, must he thought, exonerate him from the charges made against him.—(Hear, hear.) He would throw himself upon the shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) From his first connexion with the company in 1844 to this moment he had never done a single thing in regard to which his motives could be questioned. He had endeavoured to the best or his ability to serve the interests of the shareholders.—(Bear, liear.) He had worked night and day for them, and he would appeal to gentlemen who knew him whether he ever neglected his duties for a day or an hour.—(llear, bear.) Mr. Wylie never saw him in his life; but he would appeal t o th ose present whose faces he 'new, though he was not per :.oually acquainted with them—gentlemen who had seen his conduct, and he was quite content to abide their recision. —(Bear, hear.) He had done his duty faith fully to the shareholders, and if ho was to be sacrificed fur this one single transaction, ho could not help it. Mr. RAMSAY wished to ask Mr. Al!port whether he considered he was doing his duty to the company when he was working Mr. Hudson's line, although he was the company's servant? Mr. ALLPORT would remind the shareholders that the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway was t Iken for this company on the Ist of August, 1848, and immediately came under the management of this company and of its servants. He, as the manager of the one, took the other also; Mr. Close did the same, and so did the engineer, and it had been worked to this day as part of the York, Newcastle and Berwick line. True, Mr. Hudson now had the management; but for whose benefit? It had been worked purely for the benefit of the shareholders of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company.—(Hear, hear.) He (Hr. Allport) had been placed in a most in vidious position, this company refusing to have anything to do with the line. It had been worked for the benefit of this company, and other parties had borne the losses, and ho had had to endeavour to please two parties. It was as much worked for the York, Newcastle, and I3erwick shareholders as any one of their branches; the cash and returns went to Mr. Close. The com• mittee never could have intended to single his (Mr. All port's name out with a view to its being inferred that there was any unfairmanagement on his, part.—(A share holder—"ls Mr. Hudson the lessee of the line?") Mr. Hudson, as chairman of the York, Newcastle, and Ber wick Company, took the lease of that line for three years; the matter was not yet decided. He (Mr. Ail port) had not had time to report fully to the committee of investigation.—(Mr. Ramsay—" Then are you the servant of Mr. Hudson as well as of the company?") Certainly not.—(Mr. Ramsey—" You receive no emolu ment from Mr. Hudson?") Certainly not; not a six pence.—(Mr. Ramsey—" It is reported by the committee that you are one of his servants.") Mr. IPLAnErr begged to explain that the committee did not imagine that the words used by them contained any kind of imputation upon Mr. Allport.—(Hear, hear.) They merely meant to state a fact which they thought every one was aware of, as it had been fully explained in February how the Carlisle Railway stood.—(Hear.) Mr. RAMSEY-Mr. Allport, when you sent that answer to Mr. Close, did not you know it was morally wrong? Mr. ALLPORT —I had nothing to do with—(" Oh.") Mr. RAMSEY—I want a reply to that question—did not you knuw that was wrong? Mr. ALLPORT —lf I had been asked to publish ac counts, or to make up— Mr. RAMSEY—No, no; answer the question. Mr. ALLPORT —lf I had been asked to falsify the ac counts I never would have done it. Mr. RAMSEY—Did you not consider it was wrong? Mr. ALWORT—It was wrong to publish wrong ac counts. Mr. SIDNEY wished to turn the attention of the meet ing to the subject of the purchase of the Great North of England Railway; he considered that the prospects of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company were en tirely dependent upon the way in which that bargain was dealt with. Ho was no repudiator of bargains when made, though they might turn out to be bad, and could not recommend taking advantage of imperfections in the Act; but if in the difficulties of their position a few individuals, by standing out, forced the company into such a course, the fault would lie with those individuals. As to the funds, he thought the directors ought to have made a oall upon those shares by which the purchase money was to be raised. He regretted that the course had been adopted of sending delegates to York from various towns, and issuing proxies. —(Hear, hear.) Everything depended upon the persons selected to manage the company, and as he now withdrew his own pratensions he could say this freely.—(Hear, hear.) He should object to Mr. M'Laren, who was a banker in Scotland, and was but a representative of others. He should like to ask whether Mr. Leachman, who had also been named, was the representative of another bank, and what stake he had in the line; and how long he had been a shareholder. Mr. MOSLEY, of Liverpcol, thought Mr. Wylie, in his very admirable address, had been rather severe upon subordinates, whose conduct ought to be looked at with some allowances, grievously misled as they had been by those in high positions.—(dear, hear.) He coull make groat allowances for Mr. Allport, though ready as any one to blame what he had done; and seeing that he bad come forward in an opeu and manly way, he (Mr. Moz ley) was not willing so speedily to throw away such an officer for one fault.—(Hear.) He had no acquaintance with Mr. Allport, and never saw him till within the het 24 hours; but had understood that he was a man of high talent and very fit for his situation.—(Hear.) If he had committed a fault, it was that of being too obedient to the orders of those who ought to have known better than to call upon him to do what he was required to do.—(Hear.) Besides, it had been by no means a received point, in regard to railway accounts, that they should be closed at the end of the month; sometimes they were taken to the end of the week. But Mr. Allport rightly slid ho had no command over the accounts, and the shareholders had no right to blame him for the act he did in his ministerial capacity.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, it was plain that the committee did not mean to intimate that he bad continued in the management of it against their wish. Let not the meeting turn aside to find fault with the officials when there was far higher game before them. —(Hear, hear.) Two questions were before the meeting, all the rest required time for their development. The meeting had to say whether they were satisfied that a board of eight directors was sufficient; and if so, who should be the members of it ?—(Hear.) Let the meeting consider whom they would select. He did not know Mr. Plows, and must be understood as not speaking of his private character, hut must say this—that he had touched dirt and was defiled. He had done that which disqualified him for a public situation under present circumstances. It was to be hoped that they might not be put to the painful necessity of going to the vote upon this gentle man's name, but that some other person might be put before them in whom they could place their entire confi dence.—(Hear, hear.) Some remarks had been made with reference to sectional interests. Let the share holders take no one whom they believed put forward merely to servo the purpose of particular parts of the country. What was wanted was a board, whose one object should be to raise this to a station of respectability among the railways of Great Britain.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Sidney had brought before the meeting the question of the Great North of England line. Surely the com mittee had set a wise example in going very lightly into so delicate a subject. As to making a call, suppose the payments would " come when you did call for them"— (A laugh)—it ought to be known what foundation there was before a call was made. They were not prepared to say, having had no report, whether the whole thing had not been founded in fraud—(Hear)—and whether it might not bo well to go to Parliament and ask for a committee to examine into that iniquitous affair. Any board of directors that attempted to make a call or to sanction the arrangement without a full examination, unless met in a fair spirit by the Great North of Eng land direciere, would ho guilty of a dereliction of slaty, not only to the York, Newcastle,and Berwick Company, but to all England.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to Go vernment auditorship, ho felt it to be a farce, when he looked round the room and saw so many men of business capable of managing their own affairs.—(Hear, hear.) All that was wanted was, that they should do their own duty efficiently, select proper men, and provide that they call to their assistance an accountant who should make out a statement. The committee, however, had rather undervalued the services of auditors, in assigning to them a remuneration of 501, a-year.—(Hear.) Mr. ALLIS was requested by a number of shareholders to express their , opinion that there ought not to be five directors connected with the coal districts; there had been such things as coal comhinations. He was re quested to propose Mr. T. J. Ward for a director. Mr. PAGET agreed with the reports of the committee, but thought there was some want of consideration in their recommendation that there should be three highly. paid managing directors. Tho better mode of managing a railway was to give the directors a moderate sum, and take care that proper servants were appointed. Mr. LOVE trusted the Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Easthope) would do him the justice hereafter not to attack him behind his back—(lcer, hear)—and would state that the representations were untrue—(Hear). He (Mr. Love) knew he was to be attacked, and expected it; the gentlemen at Newcastle, who were favourable to Mr. Hudson, had bceu in secret conclave to prevent his hav ing anything more to do with this company, because he had been fearle.cs in defence of what he believed to be its interests.—(Hear.) Sir J. Easthope knew that he (Nlr. Love) was absent on the Company's business, and made an attack upon him as to his desire to be one of the msnaging directors. The manager, Mr. Allport, too, was at the London meeting and voted against him (Mr. Love).—( Hisses.) Mr. ALLPORT rose, and explained that he did not go to London on purpose, but was there on private busi ness; and, as a shareholder, having a large interest in the company, he considered he had a fair right to give his vote on such an occasion. Mr. PRANQE passed a very high eulogium upon Mr. Love, and mentioned, that when he (Mr. Prance) was convinced in February, on seeing the Great North of England purchase account, that a gross fraud had been practiced, and when he determined to come down to the north and expose it, various friends to whom he had applied to come and stand by him in that undertaking, when he would be bearding the lion in his den, excused themselves on one groun'ci or another, and Mr. Love, wLoni he had known only in the ordinary intercourse of men engaged in the same pursuit, catno forward and said, " If you feel it your duty to go to York and expose this thing, you ought not to go alone, and you shall not; I will go with you."—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) It was objected to him that he was a member of the Stock-Exchange of London. Why, there was no commercial community in Great Britain which could boast a larger proportion of high-minded and honourable men.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the meeting in London, the tendency of Sir J. Easthope's remarks cer tainly was that if there wai a connexion between Mr. Love and him (Mr. Prance), be was objectionable as a delegate. Sir J. Easthope ought to have apprised Mr. Love previously of his intention to make such a point. Sir J. EASTHOPE then rose and proposed to go into a discussion of the charge thus made against him, and was proceeding to insist that Mr. Love's complaint against him now was quite different from the grievance he had all-ged in his letter; but there were loud calls of Time," " We shall be here till midnight," and, after much confusion, Mr. R. 'MARTINEAU formally rose to order. Instead of settling who were to be directors, the time of the meeting Wii3 beity , wasted in a Stock-Exchange squabble.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN put it to the meeting whether Sir J. Easthope should proceed upon the subject, and the meet ingdecid(d by a show of hands that he should not. Mr. M‘LAREN would say a few wordsj upon the question of managing directors. The only prospect the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company had of paying a reasonable dividend was, he believed, by an entire change of management. No set of directors, giving a part of their time from their business, could (as he conceived) give as much as was necessary.—(Hear.) Mr. CARBUTT, of Leeds, expressed doubts as to the mode recommended by the Committee of Investigation. If there were three managing directors, the whole busi ness would ultimately fall into their hands, and the rest of the directors be ciphers.—(Hear.) He was inclined to suggest, as the best system of management, to divide the business into committees, each committee meeting every week to transact its peculiar business, and the board meeting once a month or oftener, as might be re quired ; the reports of all the committees;to be made to the board for general discussion.—(Hear.) If there were two or three managing directors with 7001. a-year, there would be continual intrigue to get into that posi tion gentlemen whose interest it might serve.—(Hear.) Mr. THomesom moved that the principle of appointing managing directors should be approved. He moved that the meeting select one managing director to be recom• mended to:thc;shareholders at their meeting in February, leaving it to be decided whether the number of manag ing directors should be three or one. Mr. PHILLIPS thought the question should be re served. Mr. CONSTABLE, of Otley, moved that the report be adopted with the exception of the piragraph recom mending the appointment of managing directors. Mr. PURNELL, of Scarborough, seconded the amend ment. On a show of hands the amendment was carried. Mr. SIDNEY moved that eight directors be appointed, and that no distinction be made till Februsry. Mr. PHILLIPS, from Sh , ,ffiAd, moved that the question of any appointment of managing director be lett to be decided by the meeting of February. On a show of hands the amendment of Mr. Phillips was carried. It was agreed on the motion of Mr. MOZLEY, to pro. coed to the election of directors. Mr. THOMPSON, chairman of the meeting of delegates, read the list they approved of, viz. :—Mr. Leeman (York), Mr. Leachman, Mr. M'Laren, Mr. Kipling, Mr. Flews, Mr. Hodgson, and Mr. Hunter, the two latter from Newcastle ; and to avoid preponderance of local in terest he proposed to substitute for the name of Mr. Hunter that of Mr. Love, who had the next largest num ber of votes. Mr. WYLIE moved the omission of Mr. Flews' name in order to insert that of Mr. Love. But it was ultimately agreed to put the names seri atim. The names of Mr. Leeman, Mr. Leachman, Mr. Kipling, and Mr. M‘Laren, wore adopted unanimously; There was a largo show of hands in favour of Mr. Plewa —a number of hands were also held up against him. Mr. Hodgson, Mr. Wharton, and Mr. Lore, were also appointed. Mr. MOZLET proposed to substitute the name of Mr. Maude for that of Mr. Plews. Mr. Maude's name was put to the meeting, when the show of hands was declared to be in the negative. Mr. MOZLET still proposed to go to a poll; when Mr. THOMPSON assured him that the directors held proxies more than sufficient to confirm the nominations made by the majority of the meeting. Mr. Maude and Mr. Wylie were then elected directors. Oa the motion of Mr. THOMPSON, it was resolved that a piece of plate, value 100 guineas, should be pre sented to Mr. Prance and each of the members of the Committee of Investigation, as an acknowledgment of their valuable cervices. The thanks of the shareholders were unanimously Toted to Mr. Leem‘n. Mr. WYLIE intimated that the motion which he had intended to propose was to the effect, that the board of directors should be instructed to lay the report of the committee, with the evidence, before counsel, with the view of instituting legal proceedings against Mr. Hud son and such officers of the company as had acted fraudulently in the management of its affairs. Mr. RamsEv asked the Chairman to read the list of those persons who had received dividends, but had not paid their calls. After some discussion Mr. Close read the names of Henry Newton, James Henry and William Richardson, G. T. Andrews, R. Davies, P. Wilkinson, Gutch, J. Richardson; R. Nicholson, G. Hudson, Joseph Lowrance, J. Close, W. Richardson, Wilkinson, and R. Nicholson : l _ _ After explanations by Mr. W. Ricuannsax and Mr. W. NEWTON, Mr. M'LAaEN stated that the names of Messrs. New ton, Richardson, Andrews, and Gutch ought not to have been in the list, their case being entirely different to that of the others. Mr. LEEMAN explained that those gentleman had to the Chairman, and the large ah a c n l a k i s m s w o e r n e t t ho he c n o mpny. voted ot a ed proceedings terminated at a quarter-past six o'clock. THE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE..—This plague spot of the metropolis will not, we feel assured, long disgrace the first city of the world, for proof of its filth and its inefficiency are daily being made public. On Monday there were many unpleasant scenes with the poor cattle, over-driven, running into the shops of the tradesmen, to their injury and to the danger of foot passengers. Se veral of the largest salesmen are converted, and can see full well that they would have increased accommodation and push a better trade at Islington. One of them states that he is certain some of the cattle would fetch two pounds a head more at Islington than Smithfield. Again there were at market on Monday no less than 5,220 head of cattle, which is almost more than double the number the market can accommodate, and of sheep there.were no less than 29,000 head. Can Mr. Deputy Hicks (" Dea fender of the Filth ") raise his feeble utterance for the prolongation of such a state of things? Humanity, common sense, common honesty has condemned it; for even on the " pocket " side of the question, the Corpo ration of London could save 3,0001. a year by its re moval. The cholera has left us, but if we leave plague breeders such as this market dormant, there is no know ing what the summer of 1850 will see amongst us.

The remains of this much respected gentleman were yesterday interred in the vaults of Hornsey Church, having been conveyed thither from Clare mont. place, North Brixton. Out of respect to the memory of the deceased, the shops were all closed as the mournful procession passed through the village, and business was entirely suspended, Mr. Booth having resided at Hornsey for more than half a century, and having expended a very large sum in beautifying the grounds of bid lute residence, at Crouch end. Mr. John Booth was, for a number of years a partner in the firm of Booth and Co., the eminent distillers, and was the only surviving brother of the present Sir Felix Booth, Bart., well known for his liberality in fitting out an expedition under the conduct of Sir John Ross, for the exploration of the Arctic Regions. He was the second son of Philip Booth, Esq., who may be regarded as the founder of the family. From a very humble station Philip Booth raised himself by his intelligence and industry to be head of the dis tillery in Cow Cross-street, and, by the business of a rectifier alone, accumulated a considerable fortune. After his death his three sons took the extensive malt distillery in Brentford, and carried on the two establishments together. For a short time the late Mr. J. Booth was the proprietor of both concerns, and in one year paid a higher duty than had ever been paid by any distiller before, and realised in the twelve months a nett profit of 30,0001. Mr. John Booth, during the time he remained in business, was unre mitting in his attention to its details. Strict himself, be required punctuality in others ; yet his natural kindness of heart was so great that one of his oldest clerks has stated that, though he know Mr. Thoth 38 years, during the greater portion of which time that gentleman was his principal, he had never known him to speak an angry or harsh word to any person in his employment. This kindness of disposition was, indeed, his peculiar characteristic. Though engaged in the most extensive transactions of life, his simplicity of heart was never corrupted. Per fectly free from deceit himself, he was perfectly un suspicious of it in others, and never suffered his faith in the goodness of humanity to be shaken by partial instances of wrong and ingratitude. His generosity, when he conceived a firm attachment, was un limited, and the ancient sentiment was firmly en grafted in his heart, that it was better not to leave enough money to raise a stone for remembrance than to leave a living friend in want. With great liveli ness of manners he combined the utmost modesty of spirit. The title of an honest man was all he ever coveted, and when he found himself regarded with affection, with respect, and almost with reverence, he referred those qualities to amiability in the persons who entertained then), ratherthan to the virtues in him self which had called them forth. Kindness and bene volence were indeed so deeply rooted in his nature as to be inexhaustible ; those who knew him best loved him most, and even they were continually surprised by some new instance of his consideration and fore thought. In his last painful illness this disposition was as conspicuous as in his previous life. He never complained, though often wrung by cruel pain, and he never received the most ordinary attention paid to the sick without some expression of gratitude and thankfulness. His whole nature was so entirely , truthful that be was absolutely incapable of believ ing in falsehood; he had the innocence of the dove, hut nothing of the guile of the serpent. It is seldom that the purest minds rise to the highest places. Mr. Booth was not of a character to attain worldly honours. Lengthened proceedings in Chan cery, and other accidents, tended in some degree to impair the prosperity and peace of his later years, but his cheerfulness and good humour never deserted him. The beatitudes of the Christian character were all his own. During the winter he was attacked with paralysis, but the natural vigour of his constitution sustained him, and his friends had the strongest hopes of his recovery. Other maladies, however, developed themselves, the seeds of which had been sown during his laborious attention to business, in comparatively early life, and he expired on the 16th inst., after a severe illness of seven days, in which he was attended by Dr. Babington and by Mr. Cock, surgeon of Guy's Hospital. He married a daughter and co-heiress of the late Mr. Williamson, the wealthy maitster, and has left three sons, neither of whom has issue.—Post. ENORMOUS FISIL—A few days since an extraordi narily large trout, weighing 151b5., was caught in the river Stour by an eel stage fixed near the bay fronting Bryanstone House, the seat of Lord Portman. Much curiosity was excited at the appearance of this aristo cratic monster, and efforts were made to keep it alive, but the bruires occasioned by its capture rendered this impossible. It may be remarked that the fish became Tilte blind before its death, and took no nourishment after its capture. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Wonderful Efficacy of Hol loway's Ointment and Fills.—Nine months since a gentleman residing in Glaslough, county of Monaghan, had an opening made from the hip to the knee, and a great deal of diseased thtsh removed. For three years he suffered night and day, al. though he consulted all the most skilful surgeons and physi cians he could hear of, using baths, liniments, &c., without effect. He expected to bp a cripple for life, yet, by the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, he is now cured, and enabled to attend to business for the last six months, as though nothing had happened. His address is known to the proprietor of the Armagh, Guardian. Sold by ail druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, arand, London.

MANNING THE NAVY.—Seamen are now coming in pretty fast for the ships fitting at the ports. The Leander, 50, Captain Dacres, at Portsmouth, entered above 30 blue-jackets on the 24th, and is now only about 50 short. The Ganges, 84, at Devonport, entered 24 men one day this week. The Termagant, 24, serew-frigate, will he ready for the pendant at Portsmouth on the Bth. Grant's appa ratus has been completed. The Spiteful, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Carmichael, has drawn charts at Devonport for the Mediterranean, and is now cump!ete in Barnpool. She is ordered to be kept ready to start at a moment's notice. The Stromboli, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Lord A. Beauclerk, arrived at Devonport from Portsmouth, on the evening of the 22 and left on the following day for Queenstown fir rawly-raised men fur the Ganges, 84, fitting at Devonport. Advices from the Cape of Good Hope to the 14th of August leave the Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., in Simon's Bay, waiting th e arr i va l o f th e "Castor, 36, to be relieved by Commodore Wyvill. The Geyser, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Brown, was also there, and the Dee, 4, steam-transport, Master Commander Filmer, was at A!goa Bay. The Pantaloon, 8, Commander Hyde Parker, arrived at Pernambuco, Sept. 7, 35 days from Plymouth, and left on the 9th for the Cape. THE MEDITERRANEAN. We have news from Malta to the 17th of October. Nearly all the ships comprising the force of the station being with Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., G.C.8., there are few items of interest in naval matters. The fleet sailed from Corfu for Athens on the 10th, the Gallant Admiral intending to cruise in the Archipelago. The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, C. 8., as we stated on Wednesday, has been ordered from Leghorn to Athens, to join Sir W. Parker's fleet. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codriegton, C. 8., has been ordered to Gibraltar and Lisbon, to try her rate of sail ing with the Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fitz roy. She arrived at Malen from Corfu, on the 18th, but here countermand orders awaited her from the Ad miralty to return and rejoin the Admiral. Captain Adolphus Slade arrived at Malta, from Mar seilles, in the Oberon, 3, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Gardiner, on the 15th; and the vessel having coaled preceeded at once to Athens to communicate with Sir W. Parker. The Bulldog, 6, steam-sloop, Commander A. C. Key, to leave Naples and join the fleet. The Locust, steam vessel, and the A ntelepe's officers and crew, were to leave Malta on Friday last with her orders. NEW MARINE NIGHT SIGNALS. A public mewing was held on Monday last in the Town Hell of Peterhead, of the principal inhabitants, bankers, shipowners, and seamen, to hear a lecture delivered by Mr. Rettia, C.E., from Lond in, inventor of the railway and marine night signals, and on the New tidal harbour lights, who gave one of the most lucid and interesting accounts of the progress made and the importance of having one uniform system of marine night signals, and for a more definite tidal night light, to show seamen the true depth of water during the dark ness of the night. A. Anderson, Esq., shipowner, was called to the chair, and after a most interesting lecture from Mr. Rettin, it was unanimously resolved, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by G. Mude, Esq., of the London Shipping Company, " That this meeting urgo upon the Harbour Trustees the importance of their immediately adopting the new improved tidal system; and also to urge the general adoption of the new signals of distress, which would enable crews to escape and ofttimes get teisistance in case of shipwreck or other casualties at sea." As to one general and uniform system of tidal lights for all harbours, there was but one opinion; tied they did not imagine that any would say a single word against it, and that the trustees of the Peterhead Harbour be respectfully requested to adopt these im provements new at the commencement of the winter. It was observed this morning a vessel had en tered the harbour at half tide and had sustained damage, beating on the ground, just for want of this very use ul invention of Mr. Rettin's. SE W AGE MAN URE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Understanding that a report of a successful experiment in separating sewage manure from the water with which it is associated in the London sewers ap peared an eveninc , or two since in your journal, I b eg to give you a much better evidence than any experiment on the small scale can affird of the efficiency of the prin- ciple, in the fact that the magistrates of the county of Glamorgan having adopted it for collecting the drainage of the county gaol, works have been erected, which will be in active operation within a week from this time; in fact, the first charge of sewage will pass through the tanks to-morrow. Also, that a work of some consider able magnitude, and calculated not only to show the practicability, out the payability of the method, is now in course of con Aruction, from the plans, and under the able direction of W. B. Moffatt, Esq., at the Vulcan wharf, Puddlc-dock, Blackfriars, sanctioned by the City Commissioners of Sewers and the Committee of Health. The gentleman whose experiments you report upoa seems to parade them as if they were the exposition of a principle which he had just discovered, instead of being a very close imitation of a method patented by me more than three years since. For a fu'l developement of my method, and the prin• ciples on which it is founded, I beg to refer you, as I have already referred the Hon. Court of Metropolitan Sewers, to the report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Metropolitan Sewage, and to the evidence taken ;_iefore the surveying officers, preliminary to the passing the Act for Incorporating the London Sewage Chemical Manure Company. I have no doubt that you will see the justice of inserting this letter of, Sir, your obedient servant, - WILLIAM HIGGS. 79, St. Mary's-street, Cardiff, Oct. 25, 1849. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—An article appeared in The Sun of Saturday, Oct. 13, on a case brought before the Doncaster magistrates—"Philips v. King." Thinking that, ac cording to your suggestion, the matter would come before the Quarter Sessions, we have been silent, desiring that it might be fully investigated ; but the grand jury having rejected it, we feel it our duty to offer a few remarks thereupon, relying on your sense of justice for their insertion. We will endeavour to be brief. In your article it is presumed that the question of registration was raised by Mr. John King and his friends. it was not so ; it originated entirely with the magistrates, much to the annoyance cf the defendants, who were anxious that the case should go on. Mr. John King is not the minister, but a trustee of the place, and claiming nothing more than that. No disturbance 'whatever was occasioned by Mr. King, his venerable mother, or Mark Glossop, as alleged by Mr. Marratt ; it originated, was carried on, and terminated with the plaintiffs. The vestry was not entered by any of them ; all that was done was of a protective kind, to prevent injury being done by the missiles thrown upon their premises ; but in doing which poor Mark obtained two black eyes from one of the brethren. This is the truth, and we are prepared to prove it. We beg your attention to the following : This chapel was built for the Congregationalists— Independents ; the deeds specify the doctrines and order, but those who have lately frequented it have instituted a particular Baptist form of worship, in defiance of the trust deed, and contrary to the formal interdiction of the whole of the trustees. Surely that will speali for itself without a word of comment. As trustees we are responsible, and have a duty to perform, however painful it may be to act in oppo sition to a professedly religious people; but we hope that whilst doing it we shall not be misrepresented ; and, from long experience, we know you would not wilfully misrepresent the most humble. Yours respectfully (for the trustees), EDWARD SIDDALL, Sheffield. Oct. 20, 1849. ROYAL ARTILLEET.—WOOLWICH, OCT. 25.—Capt.

FALL OF A RAILWA Y VIA.DU CT .—y ter des ay after noon an accident of a most serious character, as far as property is concerned, occurred on a portion of the Pres ton Extension Railway. About half-past one o'clock, thirteen arches of the Ribble-valley viaduct, which was in the course of construction, cell in with a tremendous crash. Owing to the extreme wetness of the weather, the bricklayers were not at work at the time, and fortu nately the accident has not been attended, so far as is et known, with loss of life or injury to any person. It is conjectured that the accident arose in consequence of the foundation arches being weakened by the quantity of water which had collected on the spot. HOP INTELLIGENCE.—WORCESTER, OCT. 24.—We had the quickest demand for hops on Saturday of any day during the season; so much so that a clearance of the market was effected before noon. at an advance upon all descriptions, of ss. per cwt.
