MARTIN'S ACT.—The officers of the Animals' Friend Society last week caused Edward Brockman, John Sampson, and John Pickering to be fined 10s. and costs each, by Messrs. Keine, Trecothick, and Nethersole, for cruelty to animals at Margate. NEGLECT OF GENIUS.—Of Cuvp, the painter, now so much admired, we are informed that it was not for more than a century after his death that his genius was pro perly estimated by his countrymen ; that down to the year 1750 there is no instance in all the Dutch catalogues to which the compiler has referred, of any picture by this artist having sold for more than thirty florins, something less than three pounds I Their value, it is said, was first made known by English amateurs, and their demand for them first affected the price at the sale of M. Slingelant, in 1785. Of their in creasing value the following is a curious proof. A landscape, now in the possession of Mr. Perkins, then sold for the sup posed high price of 501. ; subsequently, in 1798, it brought 2611. ; in 1806, 370 guineas ; and in 1821, its present pos sessor gave for it no less than I,36sl.—Athenwum. CLERICAL CONUNDRUM. —ln a certain large town, which shall be nameless, one of the reverend gentle men to whom the spiritual instruction of the inhabitants has been confided, is very fond of requesting some of his brethren to officiate for him in his church.

TRUE LEARNING IS TRUE RICHES AND TEACHES THE TRUE ENJOYMENT OF RICHES.,--RiChes Con sist in a sufficiency of thing, for our real wants; learning teaches us to moderate our desires, to make a right estimate of our wants, and to possess a spirit of generous and philosophi cal moderation, and satisfaction with a competence. True learning secures us from a boundless and a wild extravagance, luxury and profusion ; it teaches us to acquire the friendship of the wise and good, and gives us the sweet fruition of civil liberty and peace. LEARNING.-Learning consists in a thorough knowledge of books and facts, in a just and accurate acquain tance with the characters of men, times and ages, ancient and modern—in a just search and investigation of the springs and causes of things, in order to explain the operations of nature, the powers of man and his connexion with God and with the universe; that we may point out and always pursue the noblest ends of our external existence, the best use of our capacities, the highest relish of our enjoyments, and the best application of our faculties; to polish and dignify our nature and promote the honour of God as the supreme source of existence, and " the Giver of every good gift." BEES.—On Thursday evening last Mr. Nutt gave a lecture at the Mechanics' Institution, Lincoln, on the humane management of bees. Although the weather on that evening was very unfavourable, yet upwards of 250 persons were pre sent, and amongst them we observed many of the faculty and their ladies. The lecturer gave very great satisfaction, and it is only an act of justice to Mr. Nutt to say, that we hope, in civilized times like the present, his plan for humanity to the bee may become generally adopted, as by his system many millions of the lives of those industrious insects might be pre served, which are annually sacrificed for want of better in struction.—Boston Herald. WEATHER AND HARVEST.—OVer the whole of Scotland there appears to have been extremely heavy rain early on the morning of Friday last, but it cleared up by six o'clock, and we hope it has been equally good weather since in all other parts as with us. Friday and Saturday were free from rain, but not very droughty, and there was not much inning of the grain ; but yesterday was quite splendid, with bright sun shine and a fine breeze. We may consequently hear of a great deal of good work being performed .this day, should it keep good, of which there is at present every promise. There is a considerable quantity of oats in the stook in this western dis • trict, and some still to cut ; there is also much of the black victual unsecured.— Glasgow Herald. A COMPLIMENT.—" Well, Smith," said a lady at Richmond to a waterman, who had brought some trunk for her from town, and to whom, in addition to his boatages, she had given a glass of made wine, of her own manufacture— " how do you like my currant-wine ?"—" Why, upon my word, ma'am," says Jack, smacking his lips, hitching up his trowsers, smoothing his hair down upon his forehead, and de sirous of being particularly civil—" upon my word, ma'am, it's almost as good as bad sherry !" A NICE POINT OF LAW.—Blackstone, speaking of the right of a wife to dower, asserts that if land abide in the husband for a single moment, the wife shall be endowed thereof ; and he adds in a note that this doctrine was extended very far by a jury in Wales, where the father and son were both hanged in one cart; but the son was supposed to have survived the father, by appearing to struggle the longeM, whereby he became seized of an estate by survivorship, in consequence of which seisin a wife obtained a verdict for her dower. THE CAVAN ORANGEMEN.—Great preparations are making for the great meeting on the 20th, and by letters which we received from Cavan we understand that consider able alarm is felt in the town and its vicinity. We should suppose that Government has received similar representations, and that they may find it necessary to move troops into the neighbourhood. Lord Roden and Mr. Boyton both declare that it is expedient the Protestants should exhibit their physical force--that great masses of Protestants should be congregated. Whether these seditious people will, or whether they can, put their menaces in execution, it will be only prudent to p re p are for the worst.—Evening st. Yesterday morning, a few minutes after 7 o'clock, a young gentleman of the name of Hayes, between 19 and 20 years of age, residing in Sloane-street, Chelsea, was bathing in the Serpentine River, on the side of Knightsbridge Bar racks, when he was heard by a trooper of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), who was also near the spot bathing at the time, to exclaim " Help! help! lam drowning." The sol dier immediately swam to that part of the water from whence the sound appeared to issue, but from the dense fog that pre vailed some time elapsed before he could get sight of the young gentleman ; at length, however, he discovered him en tangled among some weeds, and with difficulty the soldier succeeded in getting him on shore, where Mr. Hayes was so far recovered that he was enabled with assistance to walk to his residence. SUICIDE.--A Coroner's Inquest was held yesterday evening, on the body of Captain William Cooke, a Post Cap tain in the Royal Navy, who put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains. The evidence proved that the unfor tunate Gentleman had been labouring under delusions for some time, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Derangement." SINGULAR SUICIDE.—On Wednesday an Inquest was held at the Goldsmith's Arms, Ealing, before Thomas Stirling, Esq., on view of the body of Thomas Taylor, aged 20, who committed self-destruction, by drowning himself in a water-butt, under the following circumstances :--Mr. William Hicks, farmer, of Acton, deposed, that on Tuesday the de ceased applied for accommodation for a few days, as he was in a poor state of health. Witness l e t hi m some rooms i n t h e house, and in the evening the deceased took possession of them, bringing at the time his luggage, which consisted of trunks, &c. The deceased appeared in a very poor state of health and looked very wild. He (deceased) went to bed early in the evening. About twelve o'clock the deceased left his bedroom and went into the yard. The deceased not re turning, although an hour had nearly elapsed, witness went out and searched atout the premises, and at length discovered the unfortunate young man in a water-butt, which was nearly full of water. The legs were sticking upright, the head being downwards. Witness gave an instant alarm, and having pro cured assistance, the deceased was extricated. The Jury re turned a verdict " That the deceased drowned himself while in a state of temporary mental derangement." HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—On Wednesday night last nine armed ruffians went to a house in the neighbourhood of Holycross, in this county, where a man named M'Carthy had been placed as keeper on corn. They dragged the un fortunate man out of bed, and beat him in a most ferocious manner, having previouslyfired two shots at him without effect, the ball of one of which passed under his arm, and grazed his side. They then broke one of his arms in pieces, and, hor rible to relate, actually cut the flesh from his thighs with a shovel.—Clonmel Advertiser. ACCIDENT IN NASSAU-STREET.—Yesterday, an officer belonging to the First Royals, whose name we have not learned, received a fall from his horse in Nassau -street, by which he broke his leg. He was conveyed to his quarters in Beggar's Bush Barracks immediately after the accident, on a jaunting car, where he immediately received the surgical as sistance necessary for his case.--Freeman's Journal. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.--A young man named Clarke, while bathing in the docks at Ringsend, last week, was seized with cramp, which so completely deprived him of the use of his limbs that he sunk never to rise. His mother and two sisters, who had accompanied him to walk, had only pwr,h9ecevedhe had ed a few yards from the spot when the melancholy t p i l En iung g e s d of in h , isf a t e reached them.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1834 NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND. (From the Waterford Chronicle.) GREAT MEETING IN CARRICK-ON-SUIR. Decidedly the most important and influenti d meeting ever held in this town, or perhaps in t' e country, o.i the subject of Banking, was held on Friday las!, pursuant t) public adver tisement, at the Bessborough Arms Hotel, for the purpose of establishing a branch Bank in connection with the National Bank of Ireland, in Carrick-en-Suir. At a little past one o'clock, the Hon. John Ponsonby, eldest soil of Lord Duncan.. non, arrived, and the business of the day was immediately pro ceeded with. The Large Ball-room was crowded almost to suffocation. The principal landed proprietors of the entire neighbourhood, and the commercial wealth and respectability of Carrick-on- Suir, were in attendance. We particularly no ticed Major Curry, Belline ; T. E. Lalar, Cregg House; H. Briscoe, Tinvane House ; J. Walsh, Fannigstown ; O'Donnell, Cottage ; J. Power, Mount Richard ; J. Cant well, R. O'Donnell, Maningstown, &c. &c. On the motion of W. O'Donnell, Esq., seconded by T. E. Lalor, Esq., the Hon. John Ponsonby was called to the Chair. The Hon. CHAIRMAN said, he felt grateful for the honour conferred on him, by an assembly so respectable and nume rous, and only regretted that the unavoidable absence of Lord Duncannon had deprived them of the advantages of that ex perience and knowledge of the matter which they could not expect from him. However, any assistance he could render he would do so most cheerfully, as he would be always happy to see the interests of the country advanced and the town of Carrick, in particular, prosperous and happy.—( Loud cheers. ) P. HAYDEN, Esq., moved that W. O'Donnell be requested to act as Secretary. The motion was seconded by T. E. Lalor, Esq. Mr. O'DONNE T L said he had been at various times endea vouring to get a branch of the Bank of Ireland established in the town,—but, he was sorry to say, without success. He had communications with several influential persons on the subject, who- would be ready to afford any co operation in their power. He felt great pleasure in being able to say, that the father of their honourable and worthy chairman (Lord Duncannon) at the time took an active part in endeavouring to promote that object, and was foremost then, as he had ever been, to advance the public interests, in the attempt to increase the welfare of Carrick and its neigh bourhood. He also felt it his duty to state, that in conjunc tion with many respectable inhabitants, he waited on Lord Duncannon, and consulted him as to the propriety of intro ducing a branch of the National Bank of Ireland into the town, and that the pi oject met his entire approbation. He also mentioned to Lord Duncannon that the inhabitants of this town felt particularly desirous that his Lordship would preside at this meeting. His Lordship stated that he would feel great pleasure in doing sa, but that he was unavoidably obliged to leave home for Dublin on Monday ; however, that he would take care his eldest son (the Hon. John Ponsonby) should preside in his absence, and represent his feelings on the occasion.--( Cheers.) Mr. O'Donnell said he deemed the co-operation of wealthy and extensive landed proprietors of vital importance to the welfare of the institution, and begged to read a letter he had received from one, whom he believed possessed a landed property of about 8,0001. per annum. Mr. O'Donnell then read We following letter : Rossenarra, Sept. 10th, 1834. Dear Sir—l regret that an engagement for Friday next will prevent my attendance at the meeting to be held in Carrick-on- Suir, but I beg you will consider that it has my best wishes for success in the attainment of its valuable object, as it is obvious that a branch of the National Bank establishment, opened in a town situate in such an important district, would greatly facilitate our progress towards commercial and agricultural prosperity, and prove to every individual an important accommodation. I have the honour to be, Sir, yours faithfully, William O'Donnell, Esq. WILLIAM MORRIS READS. Mr. REYNOLDS read the prospectus of the National Bank, which having concluded, he said, that he congratulated that numerous, highly respectable, and influential meeting, on having so amiable and promising a member of ti:e aristocracy presiding as their chairman, and mingling with them on an occasion of such public importance and utility, and he was the more gratified, as it was rather unusual for the aristocracy to take a lively and sincere interest in the concerns of the people, particularly in Ireland. But it was not a matter of wonder to see him connecting himself with the people, and presiding at a meeting, having for its object the improvement of the country, inasmuch as the name of Ponsonby had ever been identified with the best interests of Ireland. And looking on the Hon. Gentleman as the representative of Lord Duncannon, and remembering the high official situation so lately entrusted to that nobleman, he could not forbear regarding the circumstance with feelings of peculiar gratifi cation and delight. Though the principal objects of the bank were very fully detailed in the prospectus which they had heard read, from which they must be aware that it is purely and ex clusively a mercantile speculation, having for one of its especial objects the improvement of the agricultural and commercial interests of the country, by the establishment of a sound and improved system of Banking ; yet he felt it necessary to make a few observations, in order to obviate some objections that had been made to it. The " Commercial and Agricultural Bank" had accused them of a want of patriotism. He could hardly conceive on what solid grounds such a charge would be brought against them. Indeed, he had heard a silly remark, -that their scheme was unpatriotic, inasmuch as their head quarters were held in London. Now, he thought this was one of the chief recommendations of the National Bank, andthe very essence of patriotism. He had been in the habit, for the last ten years or more, of reading the opinions of what were considered wise men, and they all, without exception, seemed to concur in this—that the result of all patriotism and the great conse quence of the tranquillity which necessarily follows successful agitation, was the introductifin of a - Mai; and he believed there were few individuals among the wealth and respectability that surrounded him who were not agreed, at least upon one point, that available capital was the grand desideratum in Ire land. Now, here was an offer of the introduction of One Million to the people of Ireland. With these broad and un deniable facts in his favour, he was astonished to hear the charge of a want of patriotism. On the contrary, it was evi dent that the Bank was calculated to confer the most substan tial and lasting advantages in the country, and that the objec tion raised against was the very secret of its stability and success. Isolated stock was not the thing. There should be connection and credit, as well as wealth—for wealth, without respectable commercial connections, and the credit ne cessarily attached to them, lost more than half its advan tages. We had an instance, a few years since, of the im portance and benefit of stable connections and good credit, in the case of a run on one of the branches of the " Pro vincial Bank." The demand for cash payments becom ing troublesome, and finding it impossible to meet the incessant applications made to them, they had immediate re course to head-quarters--to what is objected as unpatriotic in our system—and were, without the least possible delay, sup _ plied with a quantity of gold amply sufficient to meet every demand. Thus a prompt and timely reinforcement from head quarters re-established the stability of the branch Bank, and placed it (because tried) on a firmer basis of credit than before. This is an indisputable case in which a branch Bank, without the accessory advantage of English connection and English credit, would inevitably have broken down. The commercial credit of individuals in this country could not possibly be as available for the purposes of banking as in England, and for this reason—that gold was brought into the market there like other commodities, and was as open to the purchaser; whereas in this country the case was entirely different. In England they had an inexhaustible resource in the money-market, which was tangible only by that credit which we had not, and whiph they were desirous of extending to us for our mutual advan tage ; thereby promoting the prosperity of Ireland, and, by creating an identity of interest, cultivate and establish, on the solid basis of mutual benefits, a friendly feeling between the two countries. _ _ Cork, Limerick, &c., would be quite distinct from, and inde pendent of, each other—each being in separate partnership with the parent bank, and the subscribers of each, only re sponsible for the branch of which they were shareholders. To prevent the possibility of heavy and extensive losses, an an nual meeting of the shareholders would be holden, and if it hould appear that there was a loss of 25 per cent. on the subscribed capital, they had the power of dissolving the branch. No branch would be liable for the losses of the Lon don Bank; and the reason, founded on the opinion of the most eminent counsel who have been consulted on the matter, is this—that as the branch bank participate not in the profits of the London Bank, they cannot be made responsible for the losses. In addition to this, a Secretary would visit each branch once_a month, for the purpose of investigating their transactions, and reporting the same to the Board in London —thereby obviating the danger of more than one month's mis .management occurring without detection. They would please, also to bear in mind that the shareholders of each branch would have the power of electing their own directors, who would be the guardians of their property ; and it was to be presumed that they would entrust that responsibility only to persons on whom they could place the most unqualified reliance. It would be unnecessary to remark, that all mer cantile speculations were liable to risk ; but it should be ad mitted that especial care had been taken by the projectors of the " National Bank of Ireland," to limit the liability so effec tually, as not only to prevent the possibility of any great loss occurring, but also to inspire a rational hope that the esta blishment would not only prove profitable to the proprietors, but also advantageous to the public. Recollecting that a de putation from the " Agricultural and Commercial Bank" had recently visited their town, and held a meeting, with a view of inducing the people to sanction their project, which their good sense and sound understanding rejected, he felt it necessary to be thus explicit. And he felt great gratification at finding that this explanation had been deemed satisfactory, and that that highly respectable and intelligent meeting had sanctioned with their approbation the establishment with which he had the honour to be connected ; and had determined on giving to their important town and district the benefit of a sound bank ing system. It was then moved that the Hon. J. Ponsonby be requested to leave the chair, and that T. E. Lalor be called thereto. E. POWER, Esq., said he felt particular pride and pleasure in having the honour to move a resolution of thanks to their worthy chairman, who reflected so admirably the virtues of his noble father. He never regretted so much his inadequacy to give expression to the emotions of gratitude and respectful affection► then beating within him, and which he was confident had a responsive sympathy in the breasts of every individual in that numerous and respectable assembly. The resolution being read, the chairman said he could not sufficiently thank the meeting for the handsome and flattering manner in which they had received the mention of ais name. He felt exceedingly grateful for the honour they had (lone him. After the able and satisfactory expose made by Mr. Reynolds, lie was satisfied to say that he saw every prospect of success, and he should be most happy to see the inhabitants of Carrick in possession of a good Bank, and plenty of money in it—it should have all the assistance in his power. This short address was received with repeated acclamations, and immediately after the meeting broke up. BASING, BATH, AND BRISTOL RAILWAY. ( Abridged from the Bath Chronicle.) A public meeting of the inhabitants of Bath and its vici nity, was held at the White Hart, in this city, on Friday last, for the purpose of hearing explanations respecting the above undertaking, to afford which a Deputation from the Committee of Management had come to Bath. The at tendance was extremely numerous and highly respectable. Sir T. FELLOWES, K.C.8., was called to the chair. He said that the efficiency of the Manchester and Liverpool Railway was well known, and there could be no doubt that similar benefits would result from the 'establishment of 'a line of Railway between Bristol and London. Bristol was at present sinking in importance, but if this Railway were carried, the traffic from the South West of Ireland, from Wales, &c., would contribute to resuscitate its commercial prosperity. The object of this meeting was to promote the Taking a line of Railway from Bath to London. Its pro jectors proceeded on national grounds ; in peace the under taking would be of the greatest value, and in time of war the advantages would be peculiarly great, as Bristol would then be considered as a commercial port of the greatest safety. The Chairman then alluded to the two lines which had been proposed ; and considered that the one from Basing to Bath, through the towns of Trowbridge and Bradford, was preferable to that usually denominated the Great Western Railway. Sir Thomas concluded by hoping that every gentleman who might wish to address the meet ing might be heard with patience and good feeling.— (Applause.) The Hon. Mr. Da BLAQUIERE proceeded to claim for himself the merit of having originally proposed, in 1831, a line of railway from Bristol to join the Southampton line at Basing ; and supported his statements on this subject with reference to the Hampshire Advertiser, of Nov. 12, in the above year. He then proceeded - - to describe the steps which were taken at the above time to promote this under taking ; and stated, that up to the moment when the Lon don and Southampton Railway Bill went to Parliament, and till the advertisements of the Great Western Rail way appeared, the Southampton Company, judging from the conferences which they had previously held with the leading interests of Bristol, entertained settled im pression that it would be resolved in that city to join their line with the Southampton road at Basing. He felt that this question might be frittered away into one as existing between two rival companies—but it ought not to be so treated ; it should be discussed as a question having reference to the public good alone. The terminus of the London and Southampton Railway was in the midst of a population of 300,009 persons, which would offer an ad mirable market for agricultural produce. No communi cation with the metropolis presented the advantages afforded by that terminus ; and it had been the un successful aim of the Great Western Railway Com pany to avail itself of these benefits. This com pany could not approach that part of the Thames except by intersecting three of the most valuable pro perties in the neighbourhood ; that of Mr. Sloane Stanley, the Earl of Cadogan, and the Marquis of Westminster. The Earl of Cadogan had said that on his property alone the Great Western Company would have to throw down between 300 and 400 of the best houses on the estate. The Southampton Company, on the contrary, would have to throw down scarcely any house property at all. Mr. de Blaquiere then dwelt at some length on the local , advantages which would result to Bath from the establishment of a railway communication with the.metropolis. He would now proceed to a point on which it was important that the meeting should be informed —whether, namely , the estimate for th road was sufficient to cover the actual cost, and if it was the intention of the Company that the work shOuld be commenced. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter from Mr. Giles, the engineer of the Company, stating that he had received a tender (from a person whose name Mr. Blaquiere said he should refrain from mentioning) for the performance of the road between Woking and Basing, an d stating that the work would be completed within the estimate, and expressing the utmost confidence that the execution of the line between Bath and Basing might be executed for the sum announced _1,000,000/. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by hoping , that the attention of the meeting would be given to the in formation which would be laid before them. He only wanted the best line to be adopted, the undertaking was the greatest ever brought before the public, and deserved ge neral support.—(Cheers.) Mr. REED, of Manchester, after some preliminary re marks, said that he represented a capital of 400,0001., which had been subscribed in Manchester towards the Railway now before the notice of the meeting. lie had well considered the practicability of the line between Bath and Basing ; its eligibility was in fact self-evident, and it required no conjuror of an engineer to prove it—it did net require gentlemen figuring for the first time in their lives in this capacity 'to pronounce upon its merits. A steam carriage might pass over it at a rate of at least twenty miless "which an hour. No part of the country stood so much in want oafiia Basing Ivninga)e, asline is the e Bristol co ulbdt n s ?, eaont be dßath—the only question was, H e exceededivas any that the Bath , other which could be selected. of l‘t lineß b T e O t N w , e t e l u i e ß n a g i s i n u e g e r, a nd d B riessroclr.ibed Theeth fi s r e s c r y i 1 1 - 1 miles on leaving Basing were level, then came 2 miles with i a rise of 1 i n 300 , then 4 m il es leve l , t h en 9 m il es w i t h a rise of 1 i n 400 , t h en 4 m il es l eve l , t h en 9 m il es f a lli n g 1 in 300, then miles falling lin 702, then to the terminus at Bath ?t miles falli n g lin 1534. The terminus would be in Wid com b e, and i t was propose d t o a pp roac h it by a tu nne l commenc i ng at M onc kt on Combo, and emerging near the fish pond in Prior Park. The tunnel was not absolutely necessary, the railway might be carried round the hill, and he preferred this plan, having an aver sion to tunnels. The levels of the line between Bath and Bristol were as follows—from the Depot at Widcombe to South Hayes a dead level, then 4 miles falling 1 in 754, then 4 miles dead level, and the remainder of the line to Bristol falling 1 in 528. The terminus would be -at Somerset-square, which it was intended to convert into a Depot for coaches and passengers. From this spot it was proposed to have an inclined plane (with a fixed engine) to therefore be rendered the harbour, for the transport, of waggons with go ods.

HAYDEN, Esq., in proposing the first resolution, begged to remark, that the establishment of a branch bank in the town would obviously be of essential benefit to its commercial pur suits. The merchants here were often obliged to lay by con siderable sums inactive and unavailing, that in a local bank would fructify to great advantage ; and sometimes when there was a great unanticipated influx of goods in the market, they are under the necessity of sending, at great inconvenience and expense, to Waterford or Clonmel for money ; all which dis advantages would be obviated by the establishment of a local branch bank. Our export trade in corn and butter alone, ex clusive of other commodities, amounted to 260,0001. per annum. In the year 1 820, when they had a private bank, the export trade was 300,0001. He remembered one year when it amounted to 360,000/. For many years subsequent to that period, in consequence of the bank being given up, the amount of the export trade experienced a material diminution. Lat terly it had somewhat increased, and is now about 240,0001. per annum. All which money would, one way or other, pass through a local bank, and of course afford no inconsider able profit. The other resolutions were then passed unanimously, with the exception of the one regulating the maximum amount of the shares purchaseable by any shareholder, which elicit ed some interesting discussion, in which I'. B. Wilson, Esq ., Dr. Fitzgerald, J. Walsh, Fanningstown, Esq., T.. Wilso n, senior, E ' sq. R. O'Donnell, Esq., and T. H. Leech, Esq ., took part. It was ultimately resolved that 500 should b e the highest number of sha r e s th a t an y one p erso n should sub scribe for at Si. each. All other necessary details were re ferred to the managemen t o f a provisional committee. E. POWER, Esq. said, that it was 'of the highest importance that gentlemen of landed property and great wealth should patronize the establishment of a local bank. He was anxious that Mr. Reynolds should explain the nature of the liabilities of shareholders. He was aware that many persons enter tained erroneous opinions on the subject which he was con vinced it was in Mr. Reynold's power to rectify. Mr. REYNOLDS said he was glad that he was called on by his friend Mr. Power on the question of liability. The Lon don Bank was called the parent trunk, from which it was in tended to spread branches through the various towns in Ireland. It was composed of men of the greatest commercial credit and respectability, and with a capital of one million. In order to form 'a connection u ith the Bank, it was requi site to subscribe local stock to any amount that might be deemed necessary by the inhabitants of any town wishing to establish a branch ; and to whatever sum was subscribed, say 101., 201., 30/, 401., or 60,000/., the London Bank would be ready to subscribe a sum of similar amount. They would enter into partnership with them, and participate equally with them in the profits and losses of the branch Bank. For in stance, if they formed a local stock of 5,000 shares, at 5/. each share, making 25,0001., they would be thereby entitled to the same sum from the London Bank, which would create a capi tal of 50,000/. for the Carrick -on- Suir branch, toge ther with additional credit in the London establishment to any amount which their local wants might require— which great superadded advantages also might be ob tained without increasing the original shares. The branch banks in the different provincial towns, say Carriek,traterford, representatives of the Great Western Company be called forward to speak of their line in comparison with that of which so much had been said to the meeting, and to vindi cate their character, which he had no doubt they would be able to do the satisfaction of all present. The opportunity of doing this should be afforded before the resolutions were passed. - Mr. SAUNDERS, of Bradford, proposed that an adjourn ment should take place, in order to afford time for a con ference between the Directors of the two Companies, but the proposition was strongly resisted by a great majority. Mr. DE BLAQuIERE rose with the intention of offering some observations, but calls for Mr. Saunders, the London secretary of the Great Western Railway, becoming gene r ral, he was not heard. Mr. SAUNDERS then presented himself to the notice of the meeting. He had a right to stand forth in justification of a large proprietary interested in the promotion of the Great Western Railway. The meeting had heard a great deal on the subject of a new railway undertaking. A crude plan of a branch railway had been submitted to the public. Much had been said of the importance of a rail way communication between this neighbourhood and the metropolis—all this he cordially agreed with. But bad it been shown that it was the intention of the Southampton Company to extend the road to Bristol—no ; for it was only to proceed from Basing to Bath. He (Mr. Saun ders) was not present at the conference which had been referred to, but he knew that it was recorded on the books of the Great Western Company that Mr. de Blaquicre would not consent to an enquiry into the respective merits of the two lines. The Bristol Directors were even now prepared to have this enquiry made. Was not that a fair sub ject of consideration ? Were they to agree to a line with out examining its merits—without the hearing of evidence —a line respecting which they entertained strong doubts whether it could ever be carried into effect. He was prepared to abide by the opinion which might he given by competent engineers respecting the relative merits of the lines. He repeated that the Great Western Directors were still willing to stand or fall by the issue of such an enquiry. Much had been said on the subject of the terminus of the Great Western line, and an objection had been made to its going through Chelsea ; with reference to this part of the subject he would give the meeting an idea of the misrepre sentations which had been so industriously circulated, and the propagation of which had been continued even in this room. It had been said that the Great Western Company would have to destroy between 300 and 400 of,the best houses on the property of Lord Cadogan ; the truth, how ever, was, that only 80 houses would be taken down— ,(Hear, hear) —and it was found that the rents of these ranged only from 151. to 201. per annum.—(Applause.) Was it rational to suppose that the Company would seri ously propose to take down 400 of the best houses in Chel sea! It was necessary for him to allude to these gross libels, and he envied not the feelings of those who originated, or, from other sinister motives, were engaged in their cir culation. They who were the most active in disseminating these statements must have known them to be false. Mr. Saunders then alluded to the attempts which he stated had been used to prejudice the Great Weste,n Railway in the minds of the public at Bradford and Trowbridge, (the truth of the assertion as respects Bradford was denied by Mr. Saunders of that place and other gentlemen present). In Manchester the same game had been played—but notwith standing these occurrences, the Great Western Company had never endeavoured to injure the Southampton Company. The Great Western had, in fact, refused to aid in the opposi tion promoted by those landholders who were opposed to the Southampton road, although they were invited to assist in such opposition. For the truth of this he would appeal to a: gentleman present,Mr. Burke—who was the agent for conducting the opposition referred to._ (Mr. Burke here corroborated the statement of Mr. Saunders.) Mr. S. then read some passages from the evidence of Mr. Ste phenson, showing his opinion of the line proposed by the Southampton Company. Mr. Stephenson stated that " this line was so ridiculously bad, that he could not ima gine who could think of supporting it ; if it were made it might be rendered entirely useless by the establishment of another line, the levels were so bad ; the line was so bad that it would never be made ; the proprietors would sooner or later see that it could never go on." Mr. Saunders then mentioned the names of several eminent engineers who had stated that the line could not be made for the estimated sum, if it were possible to make it at all. " Here, then (con tinued Mr. S.), is ground to pause before we adopt a line which is of so questionable a nature. All we wish is, that the public should support that line which embodies the greatest number of advantages. Besides, a mere branch railway is not what Bath and Bristol have a right to expect. I would beg the meeting to remark that nothing satisfac: tory has been to-day said on the subject of remuneration to the subscribers. This is a most important omission. It has, it is true, been observed, that if the Great Western Company can find a profit on their outlay of 3,000,0001., there can he no doubt that there will be profit in a under taking which requires an outlay of no more than 1,400,000/. Not only, however, do I doubt whether there will be any profit in the scheme of our rivals, but I know that there will be none. It is notorious that the portion of the rail way near London will absorb all the profit, and of this the subscribers to the Bath and Basing line are to have no share. We do not wish to have this question settled by the dictum of our engineer or their engineer ; we want fair and proper enquiry, without which it is too much to expect that we will throw away our prospect of establishing a com munication to which we consider ourselves to be entitled. We are ready now to enter into such inquiry, but it must be undertood that we are not to be arrested in our progress during the ensuing Session of Parliament. Mr. Dc Blaquiere has said that our Directors ought not to condemn the Bath and Basing line without having first seen the section. Have the Directors whom that gentleman represents seen the section of the northern line—no—and they therefore ac cuse us of a fault of which they are themselves guilty. I am enabled to go farther, andsay that at the time when Mr. De Blaquiere made his proposition to the Directors of our Company, he had not even •seen his own section. He has found fault with us for seeing only one section, and it turns out that he decided without seeing any at all ! Bristol and Bath are identified in interest, and I will appeal to the inhabitants of Bath whether they will disconnect themselves from Bristol—(No, no)—and take up a propo sition for uniting them with Basing.—(No, no.) We have heard what has been said by a gentleman from Manches ter. The question is, are you to be sacrificed for the sake of bencfitting the Manchester shareholders ? The scheme this day laid before you has been promoted for the benefit of the London and Southampton Railway Company. The officers of the proposed plan are the same as those of the Southampton Company. It is quite impossible that the two undertakings can be managed by the same persons with equal advantages to both ; the interests of the; one must inevitably succumb to those of the other ; it will be allowed that a solicitor cannot well be employed for both plaintiff and defendant. The plans must, therefore, be divided ; they must be independent of each other ; their affairs cannot be advantageously and properly conducted by the same Company. He (Mr. Saunders) had no doubt that the Great Western Railway would be effected if the Company had not forfeited the confidence of this city, which was most essential to their success. The late disappointment ought not to discourage further efforts. The Liverpool and Man chester Railway B'll had been thrown out on the first ap plication. The line of the Great W estern Railway was good—the levels were good ; he was in no way daunted by what had occurred.' He looked for a great increase on the subscriptions of the present shareholders. After a few general observations, be concluded by saying that the Great Western Company would have no objection to a joint property in a road as far as it might be found conve nient to go together.—( Applause.) Mr. BRUNEL was then loudly callad for, and having pre . sented himself to the notice of the Meeting, this gentleman, on the suggestion of Capt. B. L. Lye, entered into an ex planation why he considered the line of the Great Western Railway the preferable road. He said that he had com menced his examination by surveying the line marked out by Mr. Brunton. He afterwards examined the line through the North Wiltshire vale, and he was very much struck with its great superiority. There was, in fact, no compari son between the two. The line which he bad selected had met with the approval of the best engineers in the country. With regard to the estimates, he begged to say that he could not venture to compare his calculations with those of the Southamptom company. The idea of digging a cubic yard of stuff, carting it, conveying it four miles, and making it into an embankment, for sd. per cubic yard, appeared to him perfectly ridiculous. It had been that. day said that if the Western Railway calculated on a profit after expend ing 8,000,000/. much more might a profit be expected on an outlay of 1,400,000/. It should be . borne in mind, how ever, that the cost of the. two lines had been estimated in very different modes. Between London and Bristol the cuttings would amount to 2.4 millions of cubic yards, while those on the line of the Great Western Railway would not exceed 8 millions, being only one third of the amount.. And when it was considered that the excavations formed a very large portion of the expanse, this, it would be seen, was a most important point. He knew by experience that excavations could not be made for less than one shilling per cubic yard. Mr. Brunel concluded by making some ob servations on the general advantages of the northern line. His statements were received throughout with much ap plause. _ _ .Mr. DE BLAQUIERE then rose and said, that as an Englishman and as addressing an English assembly, he claimed a right to reply to the assertions of both Mr. Saunders and. Mr. Brunel. He sought fair play for Mr. Brunton as well as for himself. He said he was then pre pared to reply, although he had not come into the room to discuss the whole question with the Great Western Rail way Company. His rejoinder would of course occupy some time, and he would have to crave the indulgence of a patient hearing. The meeting having refused tcyliear Mr. De Blaquiere, The resolutions were all p.

Beef Mutton Some time ago, two Wesleyan preachers having occasion to stop in a town in Wales, determined to preach. They therefore sent for the town crier to proclaim their inten tion, that a congregation might be assembled. The preachers found it very difficult to make the marterfect in the words he was to use in making proclamation, but that which puzzled him most to remember was the word Wesleyan. However he thought himself at last prepared, and sallied out with his bell in his hand ; but by the time he had got into the street ho had again forgotten the principal word in his lesson —din g , ding, din;—" This is to give notice that two—two— Welsh , Lions, are to preach," &c. &c. Curiosity was raised to its acme—and almost the whole town, young and old, repaired to the appointed place, to hear the Welsh Lions. Thus the preachers had tenfold the congregation they would have haclif the man had announced their intentions in the proper terms. In June, 1833, a miller received a sabre-cut at a public-house, which completely amputated his right ear. Before lie left the house, he picked up the ear from the ground, and put it into his pocket ; this was in the evening. • Early the following morning he went to a surgeon, and showed him the ear, now cold and somewhat crushed. The surgeon washed the car in spirits and water, and made a new edge to the wound of the part which the man still possessed, and to that of the car which he had lost. After accurately fitting the parts, he kept them together by four stitches, and dressed them with adhesive plasters, compresses, and an appropriate bandage. The day after, some of the dressings were re moved, in order to make sure that the parts were in contact ; the point of union was then observed to be red : the patient was feverish, and had thirst and headache. In eight days those symptoms disappeared, and the helix began to assume its vital warmth : the lobular extremity united the first ; the other parts suppurated, and granulations appeared on the car tilages. In a little more than a month the cure was.coniplete : the patient's right ear was almost in the same condition as the left, ar.d all that was remarked was an elliptic linear cicatrix at the point of union.—Medical and Surgical.l“urna l. HIBERNIAN SABBATH-mAKlNG.—Several Irish labourers were lately engaged by a farmer at Thurlby, near Bourn, to cut by piecework a certain number of acres of whem eat,. and to be accommodated with board an d lodging - by their ployer. The Paddies had assiduously redeemed the six days of the week, of which it is said ‘• thou shalt labour," and when the , seventh arrived, and they saw their m aster ti t e ake his depar ture• A Wesleyan preacher, on his way for church or chapel, they stole away to field and re commenced operations. from Bourn to Thurlby, observing this profanation of the Sabbath, lost no time in making it known t 6 Mr. w h o replied that he knew nothing of the fact, and if the, Reverend Gentleman would accompany him to the field, he would then and there have an opportunity of remonstrating with them on the impropriety of their conduct.
