EAST CO WES.—ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Nov. 30.—The Windsor Castle steamer, which came into this harbour about two years since in a damaged state, in order to her being repaired on Mr. Ralsey's patent slip, discharged her cargo into Mr. Auldjo's stores, then tenanted by Col. R. Hunter, Consul from the United States at this port. In consequence of differences between the owners of the vessel and the captain, and afterwards with the agent (Mr. Edward Day), and since with ano th e r agen t, th e c l erk to Col. Hunter (Mr. Knowles), the cargo has remained in the store, with four locks on it, to the serious in jury of the shippers and consignees, persons in no way mixed up or promoting these suits, but whose pro perty was left to perish waiting their decision. After ruinous expenses had been incurred, four gentlemen came down on Sunday last, to endeavour to get pos sion of the cargo. On Tuesday last Mr. Auldjo's agents, assisted by the police and some labourers, made their appearance, and served a notice on the Collector of the Customs, who attended and removed the Queen's lock ; at the request of the landlord, the other three locks were then broken off (Captain Ema nuel's, Mr. Edward Day's, and Mr. Knowles'). Mr. Auldjo being satisfied for the amount of rent in arrear (two years, 1001.), the London gentlemen took possession of their goods, and are this day (Wed nesday) busily employed shipping it on board the London trader Vectis, Jeffery, master, for Cotton's wharf. It consists of porter in barrels and bottles, mess beef in barrels, butter in firkins, flour in barrels, none of which appears to have received much damage, nor the barley in bags, and the cases of plata glass ; but the candles in boxes have perished, of the hams nothing remains but the bones and the skin, and the cheeses are also in a bad state. The cargo altogether has not suffered so much as might have been expected, when it is considered that the salt water was one foot deep in the stores on a high tide, soon after the cargo was landed. The 500 sovereigns are ordered to be placed in the Portsmouth branch of the Bank of Eng laud, by Saturday next. The demands on this cargo exceeded 3,0001, but possession has been obtained by payment of only 1001. There is also in the store the machinery of the steamer, and her spars and sails; it will require another trader to convey away the whole. POTATOES.--Six sloops, with west country potatoes for the London market, have been detained in Cowes harbour, during the past week, by the weather. The barometer, which was at four A.M. on Monday at 28.38, is now at 29.53. RADICAL ARITHMETIC VERSUS TORY DISHONESTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—One of our Tory journals—the same that was prosecuted to conviction a year or two ago for a series of. lying libels on the character of some of our most respectable citizens—on Saturday last thought proper to call in question your arithmetic, in a para graph which appeared in The Sun, respecting the contributions to our local charities, and in order to show your inaccuracy, proceeded to place the sum contributed by the Grateful Society to the credit of the Tory party. Now, my purpose is to inform you of a fact with which the Tory Editor was previously very well acquainted, viz., that the Grateful Society is avowedly non-political, and is attended by persons of both parties ; therefore, the sum subscribed by that Society should either be left out of the account alto gether, or equally divided between the two parties, which would leave the result exactly as you stated. Having thus corrected the Tory version of your "Radical .A.iithinetic," I will take the liberty to pro pose a problem of another kind, which I should be happy to see solved in Felix Farley's Bristol Journal of Saturday next :—Whether is it more immoral, un wittingly to commit an arithmetical error, or knowingly to publish a dishonest misrepresentation? I am in formed that the President of the Grateful Society this year was a Liberal; whether that were so or not, of this I am certain, that I am A LIBERAL WHO WAS INVITED TO DINE AT THE GRATEFUL SOCIETY, BY THE PRESIDENT. Bristol, Nov. 30. (From the Bristol Gazette.) The Journal of Saturday, in giving a paragraph from The Sun, relative to the collections of the dif ferent Societies on Colston's Anniversary, adds the following:— " Now for the figures.—The two Tory Societies (the Dolphin and Grateful) contributed 811/.Bs. clear of all expenses. The Radical Anchor Society, 380/. 3s. , from which sum is to be deducted for 80 dinners (not to be too nice), say 501. Thus, instead of the Whigs " beating the Tories by nearly 1001," the To ries licked the Whigs•to the tune of about 4811. We wonder who the wiseacre is that does' the Bristol correspondence of The Sun ?" The statement of The Sun might be excused on the plea of ignorance, for we do not expect the London journals to be accurately informed on mere local mat ters, but what shall be said of our Contemporary, who being on the spot, very coolly sets down the " Grateful" as a Tory Society, and claims the whole amount of its collection as a party subscription ? It is perfectly notorious that the " Grateful" is a neutral Society, and politics are carefully and strictly es chewed. Whoever may be the " wiseacre" that fur nished the statement to The Sun, he stands in a better position than the writer in the Journal, inasmuch as lack of knowledge is venial compared with wilful misrepresentation. The Committee of States having concluded their labours at Berlin, and returned to their respective pro vinces, Miss Fanny Elssler is, at present, the undis puted lion of the Prussian capital. A caricature has lately appeared there, with a view to show the com parative importance in which the Representative As sembly and the danseuse appear to have been held by the public. A large party of the members and friends of this Association dined together on Wednesday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. It was, we believe, the 117th occasion on which the supporters of this excel , lent Society had assembled, on St. Andrew's Day, to promote its charitable objects and to celebrate the recurrence of its anniversary. The Bight Hon. the Earl of Haddingten (the First Lord of the Admiralty), one of the Vice-Presidents of the institution, occu pied the chair, and was supported by the Hon. William Fraser, of Saltoun, and several other liberal friends of the Society. The Association owes its origin to the exertions of a body of benevolent persons who, as early as the commencement of the reign of James the First, formed themselves into a society for the relief of the less fortunate individuals of the Scottish nation. Since that period, however, several important changes have taken place in its constitution, with a view to increase its efficiency, and it now extends relief to many objects not originally entitled to claim its charity. It has a branch society at Edinburgh, under the Presidency of the Duke of Buccleuch, and managed by Directors of the highest respectability; and it may be characterised as an institution emi nently advantageous to the nation to which its opera tions refer, as a S.)ciety of merited prosperity and in creasing usefulness, and peculiarly worthy of that distinguished patronage of which the Charitable asso ciations which adorn our common country bear lasting and substantial testimony on the .occasions of their annual celebrations. After an excellent dinner had been disposed of, and the cloth was removed, the usual loyal toasts were given from the chair, coupled with an announcement that her Majesty the Queen was an annual contri butor to the Association of one hundred guineas. In proposing the toast of the " Army and Navy," The Earl of HADDINGTON said that if ever there was a moment when a loyal company waa called upon to drink that toast with gratitude and enthusiasm, it was the present.—(Loud cheers.) To the unwearied energy, gallantry, and perseverance of our brave sol. diers and sailors the country was indebted for the . . happy news which had so recently arrived of the res toration of peace in India and China—(Cheers)—the consequences of which it was not easy, at the present moment, to foresee.—(Hear, hear.) Our disasters during the last year in Affghanistan ha , l now been repaired, and the character of our country had been vindicated in the very scenes in which those disasters had occurred—(Cheers)-and the result was that the (he trusted) well-founded notion of the "invinci bility," if he might use such a term, of the British arms bad been once more insured.—(Cheers.) He need scarcely add, that nothing could possibly be more calculated to perpetuate our empire in the East., nothing more likely to keep those countries in peace, than the prevalence of that notion in the minds of the native population. (Hear, hear.) With respect to. the very singular warfare in which we had been engaged in China, it was most for tunate that the contest in which we had there been engaged, had been brought to a conclusion, by the united efforts of the army and the navy— (Cheers)—which had acted during the whole pro gress of the expedition with a concord highly credit able to both services —(Cheers) --and which had given to himself, in the situation which he had the honour to hold, the greatest pride and satisfaction in reading the account of the manner in which tho Gallant Ad miral, commanding the naval force, had disembarked his men, and acted with 'the military branch of the expedition as one united body.—(Cheers.) We had not, however, owed these successes alone to the army, properly so called, of her Majesty. Let it not be for gotten that, in one of our important victories in India, the greater proportion of our troops were those in the servizt of the East India Company—(Cheers)--- and who nad vied with their European comrades in shed ding their blood for the British cause.—(Cheers.) Let it not be forgotten that in China also there were engaged many volunteers from India, and Sepoys from the Madras territory—(Hear, hear)--and that of the twelve steamers employed no fewer than ten were the property of the East India Company.— (Cheers.) Although, Gentlemen (concluded the No ble Earl), the forces of the East India Company are not usually united with our own services in this toast, I trust, that, in drinking to the health and success of the " Army and Navy of Great Britain," you will not forget the duty of paying, at the same time, the debt of gratitude you owe to the Company's forces. The toast was drunk with signal enthusiasm, and followed by " Rule Britannia," which, together with several other vocal pieces in the course of the evening, was excellently given by Messrs. Broadhurst, Young, Fitzwilliam, and Bradbury, accompanied by an effi cient band. The Scottish character of the festival was also kept up by some lively interludes played by Lord Haddington's piper on the national instrument of Scotland. The Noble CHAIRMAN next proposed the toast of " Prosperity to the Scottish Hospital," and, in the course of a short speech in support of its object, stated that it appeared, from the Report which had been that morning read, at the Annual General Court of the Governors, that the number of poor persons relieved during the past year had been, on an average, 259 in each month, of which 82, together with their wives and families, had been provided with a free passage to Scotland. The aggregate for • the year was 3,115, besides 80 aged and infirm objects, to each of whom a pension of 101. a year was granted. In those ob jects the sum of 2,288/. 3s. 6d. had been expended in the past year, which, with other expenses, to the amount of 442/. 4s. 10d., made a touli expenditure for the year of 2,732/. Bs. 4d. The property of the Hos pital consisted of 35,770/. 16s. ld. in the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities, 5,100/. Old South Sea ditto, and also 3,1821. 9s. 2d. invested in the Three and- a-Half per Cent. Annuities, of which the interest was devoted to the schools attached to the churches of the Scottish Establishment in London, or under the ' min isters thereof.—(Hear.) After this toast had been drunk, and " The health of the Duke of Sutherland " had been also given from the Chair, The Hon. W. FRASER rose and proposed the health of a Nobleman who had long been one of the Vice- Presidents of the Society, and who, in the midst of other duties of an important and official nature, had ever shown himself ready to do whatever he could for the benefit for the Corporation, to the funds of which he had been a most liberal subscriber. He need not add that he referred to the Noble Earl who had done them the honour to preside on that occasion, and to whom their best thanks were due for his kindness in having found time, amidst other duties, to do so. " The health of the Earl of Haddington" having been drunk with appropriate honours, The NOBLE EARL, in acknowledging the toast, ex pressed a hope that every St. Andrew's Day would It as well attended as the present; and concluded by proposing " The health of the Duchess of Sutherland, and the Ladies Patronesses," which, with the toast of " The Duke of Buccleugh," was drunk with much applause ; as was also that of " Vice-Presidents of the Society." The Noble CNAIRMAN then rose, mid said that he was anxious to propose to the Company the health of a gentleman who had long filled, to the advantage of their valuable Society, the useful office of its treasurer. —(Cheers.) It was the business of treasurers in ge neral to give themselves no more trouble than they pleased, and to content themselves with the simple discharge of the duties of their office ; but such, how ever, was not the case with Mr. Fraser, whose addi tional services had been most valuable to the Associa tion, and for which he had no other motive than the exercise of his natural generosity and humanity.— (Hear.) He (the Chairman) well knew, that among the other modes by which he benefited their Society, there:was one branch of his duties which gave him (Mr. Fraser) considerable trouble, and that was the exertions which he annually put forth in securing the patronage for the Caledonian ball, which had become a great favourite with the ladies, with whom also it might be some consolation to his Honourable Friend to know that he was equally a favourite himself.— (Cheers and laughter.) He would give them the health of the " Hon. W. Fraser, of Saltoun." Mr. FRASER, in returning thanks, briefly expressed his acknowledgments of the honour conferred upon him, and the pleasure it had given him to do the humble duties he had performed sincehisconneicio with the b y officeaski asking g h e t h h e e m l d to o n thefil theirSociety.g i glasses to the health He wouldcon clude a s of Lady Haddington, whose exertions in beh a lf o f th e Association demanded their gratitude. Lord HADDINGTON returned thanks. The NOBLE EARL then rose to propose the health of as brave a soldier as ever Scotland sent forth to fight the battles of his country. Lord Saltoun— (Cheeri)—had served under his itn . mortal capt a i n , th e Duke of Wellington, in the Peninsula, and finished his services under the same Illustrious Commander at Waterloo, where he gallantly sustained the difficult defence of Hougoumont.—(Ch eers.) His name had now again to be mentioned with honour an d distinc tion in connection with the attack of a place of which he (Lord Haddington) could not exactly recollect the name--(A laugh,—lt was, however, that at which the last battle in China took place, where their noble and gallant countryman had borne so full a share of the honour of the day.—(Cheers.) He would, there fore,_ give them the " He a lth o f L or d S a lt oun ." The toast was drunk with marked enthusiasm. The Hon. W. FRASER, in returning thanks for his Noble brother, assured the company of his gratitude for the, kind manner in which his health had been pro=' posed and received, and. Said that the - greatesepleasure which his family could, in his absence, feel, was in the hope that they might soon have the pleasure of seeing him among them again.—(Cheers.) The Earl of lIADDINGTON next gave, " The health of the Secretary, Mr. Auld," who would, he regretted to say, on that occasion, announce the list of their subscriptions for the last time.—(Hear.) That duty he had performed for 26 successive years, and he (Lord Haddington) would take the opportunity of his retirement from the office to say that, during the many long years he had known him, he had ever found him a most kind-hearted and intelligent man, and a faith ful and most useful servant of the corporation.— (Cheers.) He proposed the " Health of Mr. Auld." The toast having been drunk in a manner which must have been highly gratifying to the feelings of that gentleman, Mr. Aura), in acknowledging it briefly alluded to the long period during which he had held the office of Secretary to the Society, and referred with just pride to the prosperous state of its funds at present, in com parison to their amount when he first joined the Asso ciation.—(Cheers.) Mr. Auld then, with much emo tion, bade the Society farewell—wishing health, hap piness, long life, and prosperity to the members of the company present, among whom he recognised many of the warmest friends of the Corporation.—(Cheers.) Some other toasts having been drunk, a list of sub scriptions was announced, amounting to about 350/., and after a highly convivial evening the company se parated. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPAN Y. The Second Annual General Meeting of the Di rectors and Proprietors in this Company was held on Wednesday at their offices, 51, St. Mary Axe, for the purpose of receiving the Report of the Directors, and agreeing to a dividend on the shares in the Company. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL took the Chair, and the Se cretary, Mr. James Allan, having read the adver- I tisement, The CHAIRMAN rose to submit the Directors' Re port to the meeting. The Report stated that the ba lance of profits on the 30th Sept., 1841, amounted to 58,6821. 13s. 7d., out of which had been provided the sum of 12,3331. 6s. Bd., as premiums for insuring the ships of the Company for the year ending on that date. The dividend of 34 per cent. declared last May amounted to 11,8091. 3s. 6d., had also to be deducted from the profits alluded to, and the surplus of profit left available on the 30th September, 1842, therefore amounted to 34,539/. 13s. sd. There was a gradual increase in the gross receipts this year over that of last, which the Directors were not prepared to expect, from the depressed state of commerce dur ing the last 12 months. It would be recollected that in May, 1842, it was resolved that 150,0001. should be insured on the floating property for the third year of the Company's operations, commencing October, 1842. The Directors, however, availing them selves of the discretionary power vested in their hands at the last general meeting, had thought it prudent to increase the amount to be insured to ' 230,0001. They had adopted this precaution under the impression that it would be satisfactory to the Proprietors to know that their property was thus pro tected. It was nevertheless the desire of the Direc tors still to proceed with caution, under the assurance (which the experience of the past justified them in entertaining) that by annual appropriation out of the profits a surplus would accumulate available for an insurance fund, to which premiums of insurance now annually paid away to other parties, might hereafter be added by the Company and invested in available securities, so as annually to increase the fund in ques tion.—(Hear.) The Company's new iron steam-ship the Pacha, was now ready for sea, - and promised to be fully adequate to the wants of the trade. During the past year the Company had frequently been under the necessity of chartering ships, but now they were wholly independent of such expensive aid, and the re gularity of the mail service had been frequently no ticed by Government in a gratifying manner.— (Hear, hear.) When the Directors met at their last half yearly meeting their - attention was drawn to the sub ject of the claim on the Government, which the Di rectors intended to follow up, in consequence of their being still required to send the Company's vessels to Falmouth for the outward mails for India, which it was contemplated would only continue for a short time after the contract was entered into originally. The Directors had succeeded in estab lishing their claim, and the Government had agreed to pay an additional sum of 2,000/. per annum, so long as this additional service was required to be per formed by the Company. The Government had re leased the Company, on liberal terms, from keeping up a semi -monthly communication between Malta and the lonian Isles. The Report then went on to state, that the new ship Hindostan had arrived safe in Cal cutta, and the passengers appeared to approve highly of her accommodation. The passage money received was 6,2501. It would be satisfactory to the propri etors to know that the instalments which had not yet been called for, were fully sufficient to meet all the existing engagements of the Company, including the contracts for the completion of the vessels ; out of the instalments ,called up amounting to 128,2381., only 4901. remained unpaid. It was scarcely necessary to state to the Proprietors that the entire property of the Company was wholly unencumbered. The inter course of passengers to and from India, during the year ending Sept. 30, 1842, had increased conside rably. In the first year the number, via Egypt, did not exceed 573; now there were 800.—(Bear, hear.) In order to facilitate the transit thr o u g h Egypt, which embraced a distance of 250 miles, the Di rectors had placed two efficient steam-packets on the Nile, with two iron luggage-boats. The Di rectors, however, were still unable to say that the con veyance across the Desert from Cairo to Suez (a dis tance of 84 miles), was made as convenient to pas *sengers as it ought ere this to have been. This was owing to the parties who Lad hitherto been connected with that branch of conveyance neglecting to place this part of the transit on an equally improved foot ing. Every facility had been promised and given to the Company by his Highness the Pacha. His High ness had granted the Company firmans for navigating both the Nile and the Canal by steam, had established telegraphs across the Desert, and was now taking measures to erect a coal depot at Alexandria, and a large hotel at Suez, at the expense of the Egyptian Government, the former for the Company's use, and the latter for the accommodation of the passengers. The Company had sent out Captain J. R. Engledue to Calcutta, to represent the Company there, and the East India Company had consented to afford them whatever facilities their establishment at Calcutta ad mitted of, without impeding their own public ser vice, in effecting the repairs of this Company's ves sels. The Report, after recommending a dividend of 34- per cent. for the half-year, concluded in these words :—" In concluding this Report, the Directors cannot forbear to congratulate the Proprietors on the prdspect of increased prosperity to the undertaking, which the recent brilliant successes of the British arms in the East have opened up. The settlement of affairs in the north of India, the establishment of peace, and the extension of our commercial relations with China, are events which must obviously lead to an increased intercourse with these countries, and a consequent enlargement of the resources of the great enterprise in which we are embarked." The CHAIRMAN having made a few general obser vations on the Report, it was adopted, and ordered to be circulated amongst the Proprietors. A statement of the accounts was submitted, from which it appeared that the balance remaining in favour of the Company was 34,539/. 13s. sd, which would be appropriated to the payment of the dividend. A PROPRIETOR then proposed that' the sum of 1,000/. should be divided amongst the unpaid Direc tors, as a recompense for their exertions in behalf of the Company. Sir JOHN PIRIE thought it would be better to leave the consideration of this question until another year, as the present unpaid Directors were self-elected. At the end of the next year the Proprietors would have an opportunity of electing fresh Directors, and then it would, perhaps, be better able to consider this _ question. The Ch intimAil concurred with Sir J. Pixie, and the motion was withdrawn. Mr. POTTS said he wished to call the attention of the Chairman and Directors to an article which had appeared in the Railway Magazine. In it there were certain charges brought against the Directors, and he wished to know if they had been noticed by the Board. The first charge was, that the Directors bad sold, or rather forced sales, of a very great portion, if not of all, of their shares in this Company, to certain parties, over whom they had influence, having made it a condition of sale that they should hold the proxies ' of those shares to use as they pleased, so that they sat mid controlled the affairs of the Company, having either none, or a very small stake in the concern. The names of these Directors, they understood, to be Mr. Bourne and Mr. Hartley. The CHAIRMAN said the article had been noticed by ' the Directors, and he was glad they had an opportu nity of answering it. So far from the Directors hav ing acted as imputed, none of them were holders of proxies at all.—(Hear, hear.) So much confidence had Mr. Hartley in the Company, that he had increased his shares to I,loo.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Ports said the next charge was, that the trade in cattle from Vigo was completely monopolised by Mr. B. A. Wilcox, son of the senior Managing Di rector ; or that the Managing Directors themselves were enlisted in this traffic. In corroboration of this rumour, it was affirmed that a gentleman having ap plied at the Company's offices, to know the freight of some cattle from Vigo, received for answer that they could not bring any, and that no freight had been fixed, yet it was said they did carry cattle to and from Vigo. The CHAIRMAN said that, in answer to that, he begged to say that the short stay at Vigo, only two hours, and frequently at night, rendered it impossible for the Company to come under any engagement to bring cattle. In all cases- where cattle had come, it had been through Mr. Wilcox, as 'agent of the Com pany, and the freight was carried entirely to the profit of this Company. Mr. POTTS said the third rumour was, that all the Mediterranean and Peninsular parcels were taken to this same son's offices. and the public thereby taxed 6d. or ls., or more, extra on each package. The CHAIRMAN said that certainly the parcels went to Mr. Wilcox's office the same way as they went to Mr. Waghorn's, Messrs. Harvey, Tucket, and Co., and others, and Gd. was charged for booking and agency, as they did not feel themselves responsible for the parcels until they were shipped at Southampton, when the responsibility fell on the Company. - Mr. POTTS—The fourth rumour was, that sin Mr. Charlton had come into the direction the vess ce had all been repaired at Liverpool, and such new vols sels as had since come out had been built and fites there ; as for instance, the Lady Mary Wood, ted Hindostan. A third vessel, of 1,800 tons, was now building there. This Mr. Charlton once belonged to the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, and after wards to the Transatlantic Company, both Liverpool concerns. Tlie CHAIRMAN said that all the ships were not built in Liverpool; nor were they all fitted out there. The Lady Mary Wood was fitted at Liverpool, but she was fitted out by Mr. Simpson, of Charing-cross, who was sent down to do so. The same vessel re cently met with an accident in coming from the Peninsula to this country, and she was placed on the slips at Cowes. The vessels Bentinck and Hindostan were built at Liverpool, because the Liverpool tenders were more advantageous to the Company than the London tenders. Mr. POTTS said the Magazine went on to ask how it was the Company had no vessel in the Mediterra nean, to carry on the mails f rom M a lt a t o th e l on i an Islands, and how did the Company manage with the Government about it ? Why had the Braganza been laid up for nearly three months to have new boilers, and to the present time nothing had been done to her? Why had the Pacha, a new iron steamer, an other of the Company's vessels, lain so long idle at Greenock, and the repairs of the Lady Mary Wood been only just begun? Was it possible that a Com pany dividing 7 per cent. was short of the needful, or was the whisper true, that there were certain shares to some considerable extent paid for, not in bankers' promissory-notes but in private promissory -notes, which now lay in the banker's box, and had never been taken um? _ _ _ The CHAIR - .‘l . AN said that the communication be tween the lonian Islands and Malta had been stopped with the consent of her Majesty's Government, owing to the slight amount of traffic between the two places. The Braganza's boilers were made and paid for, but as the vessel would not be required till the spring, it was considered more advisable not to have the boilers put in until the days became longer. The Paella would not leave. Greenock where she was built, until next spring, and with respect to the Lady Mary Wood she had been repaired, and was now actually running on the line. With respect to the shares of the Company having been purchased by promissory notes, he could tell them that every share that had been sold had been paid for in hard cash. He (the Chairman) congratulated the meeting and his col leagues on this subject having been brought forward, as it had not been their intention to involve them selves in a newspaper controversy. It had not been their object to conceal anything from the Proprietary, and he trusted that these reports had originated rather in ignorance than malevolence to the Company. AT PROPRIETOR wished to know how it ;Vas that the shares were at a discount, when the Company was paying 7 per cent. The CHAIRMAN said the reason he supposed was the depression in all steam property, and unfounded reports which had got abroad that the Company was embarrassed, and had been obliged to borrow 8,0001. A DIRECTOR said there were two classes of shares, those paid up in full, and those on which only four instalments had been paid. The shares paid up in full were selling last week at a premium, and it was the other sort of shares that sold at a discount. Mr. POTTS then proposed a vote of confidence in the Directors, which was seconded, and carried una nimously. A vote of thanks was then carried to the Chairman, who briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting separated. TIIE NEW ROYAL EXCIIANGE.—At the last meet ing of the Gresham Committee, which was held on Fri day, the 25th inst., designs were laid before them of by several sculptors, for ornamenting the pediment the portico of the national edifice with sculpture. The sum voted for this purpose by the Committee is no less than three thousand guineas. After a most careful examination of the designs, the artists were respectively admitted to a personal interview with the Committee, to explain their own intentions and views in the composition. On a ballot being taken, the de sign proposed by Mr. Richard Westmacott, A.R.A., was chosen, and he was appointed to carry the work into effect. Notices have also been given by the City authorities for pulling down the mass of buildings in front of the Bank known as Bank-buildings) in the course of the spring, and that space, w h en c l eare d, i s to be the site for the statue of the Duke of Welling ton, immediately in front of the great portico of the Exchange. The progress mado in the building itself is,most astonishingly great, reflecting the highest credit upon Mr. 'rite, the architect, and the contractor. In the course of next year the work will be in great for wardness, and it will certainly be finished in the sum mer of the following year. The sculpture of the pedi ment, Mr. Westmacott undertakes to complete by the Ist of May, 1844. So far as the building goes, it gives great satisfaction ; and the edifice promises to be wor thy of its situation, and the purposes to which it is to be applied. THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.—In consequence of the glorious news from China, by the con c l us i on o f peace with his Celestial Majesty, and a treaty of com merce with Great Britain, the most beneficial results are anticipated by the merchants in the City, Bristol, Liver pool, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and other manufacturing towns. It is confidently stated that arrangements are about being made by Government to ensure the earliest conveyance of letters to Hong-Kong, Canton, Nankin, and the different ports of China, through India, by the monthly overland mail via Marseilles and Egypt, and by the way o f F a l mouth. It i s i n contem plation to have a regular communication between Cal- butte, Madras, and China, by steam-packets, which will b e a great d es id era t um, as hi t h erto t h e transm ission of intelligence to and from China and this country has been chiefly confined to merchant ships by way of the Cape of Good Hope. The postage on letters . to India via Falm ou th, i s now a un if orm r ate of ls. ; by the monthly•closed mail, via Marseilles, 2s. Bd. ; and if ad dressed by French packets leaving that port on the Ist, 11th, an d 21 st o f th e month for Alexandria, 33. 84d. per single letter. The new Post-office arra nge ments,between E ng l an d and France, for a reduction in the postage of letters going to and through that count r y fro the United Kingdom, and vice versa, which has just been concluded by the Right Hon. Lord Lowther, the Postmaster-General, and the French Government, will be highly beneficial to the mercantile interests o f both countri e s. The next mail to Malta, Egypt, an d India will be made up this dayat the General Post office, and be forwarded by the Great Liverpool steamer via Falmouth, and the overland mail via Marseilles on Monday next, December 5. All letters must be pre paid, also newspapers, the postage on which is 2d. DETERMINED SUICIDE 'AT HASTINGS.—On Mon day afternoon a most determined suicide was com mitted by one of the men belonging to the Coast Guard service. It appears that, while on duty on the beach under the East llill, Hastings, he was observed by some persons at a dist ance t o p l ace hi s mus k e t against his side and di sc h arge i t. O n runn i ng to hi s assistance, it was fou n d th a t th e b a ll h a d passe d through his heart, killing him on the spot. The un fortunate man has left a wife and eight children. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. LIVEROOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The fine steam-ship Great Western, Captain Hoskins, arrived from New York to-day, at noon, after an excellent passage of twelve days. She brings twenty-six passengers, and advices two days later than the Caledonia. Santa Anna, it appears, is in bad health—so bad that he had been compelled to retire to his country seat, issuing a proclamation to the effect that he would resume the active duties of his office as soon as his health permitted. In the meantime he is determined to proceed with vigour against Texas and Yucatan. An expedi tion against the latter place left Vera Cruz on the 19th October ; and advices from Galveston to the beginning of November, represent the whole population of the infant Republic as being well organized, and ready for the reception of the invaders. The forces of the latter in Texas are said to amount to 3,000. The Mexican Con gress, much to the annoyance of Santa Anna, had negatived a second time a proposition for the amendment of the Constitution. The oppo sition came from the Federalists, and this cir cumstance is adduced as showing that the power and the authority of the Mexican Dictator had already begun to totter. We have no further accounts from Canada respecting the health of the Governor-General. Mr. Murney, who defeated, it will be remem bered, the new Attorney-General for Canada, Mr. Baldwin, for York county, had been dis missed from the situation he held as a Justice of the Peace, and Mr. Murney, in a long letter to the Governor-General, resented the affront by resigning the office he held, as a Major in um Caledonia Militia. Business matters remained in the same state at New York us when the advices by the Cale donia left —every- thing dull, and people looking forward with considerable anxiety to the open ing of Congress in the beginning of December. LATEST FROM TEXAS. By the steam-packet Neptune, arrived at N ow Orleans on the 6th inst., we have full files of papen, and dates from Houston to the 2d, and Galveston to the 4th inst. General Woll and his army have continued their retreat, and at last advices the spies had discovered the Mexican army, numbering about 3,000, at the Presidio del Rio Grande, fortifying. The spy company had driven in 3,000 head of cattle, which the Mexi • cans attempted to drive off in their retreat. The people of Texas are incited by a lively desire for revenge and justice upon the Mexicans. At Hous ton, men of all classes have enrolled thmselves. Even a minister of the Gospel (Rev. Mr. Huckins) has at tached himself to one of the companies, believing the protection of his country, his home, and his family, is not incompatible with his holy profession. In Li berty, Harris, Jasper, and other eastern counties, the militia are ready to turn out at the word. There are now 1,245 troops in the field as follows : 200 at Sass Antonio; 350 under Colonel Bennett, at• the crossing of the St. Marks; 50 from Fort' end, under Captain Gibson ; and 200 from Washington, two miles above the crossing; 50 thirteen miles 'east of Seguin, under Lieut. Lubbock ; 50 with no com mander, about four miles from the St. Marks; 70 from Brazoria, at Peach Creek, near Mrs. M'Clure's ; and 200 from Bastrop and Travis counties, between Austin and San Antonio, under General Burleson. There are also with General Burleson 40 Tonkeway Indians ; and 50 Lipans, ten miles east of Gonzales, are waiting to join him. Many of the French emigrants arrived last spring at Matagorda, have been sick, and several have died during the summer. Four British men of war touched at Velasco few days since, and took in a supply o f beef, &c. They were bound it is said for the Mexican coast. The schooner Eliza, last from Galveston, was wrecked at the mouth of the Brazos a few days ago. She had a cargo of $lB,OOO worth of goods for Messrs. Smith and Adriance, which are a total loss to the owners, as they were not insured.—N. 0. Bulletin. FROM MEXICO. The New Orleans Bulletin has dates from Mexico city to the 15th, and from Vera Cruz to the 19th ult., being 15 days later than previous intelligence. The expedition against Yucatan sailed on the last of the above dates, under the general command of Don Jose Vincent Minon. General Bravo has taken upon him self the responsibilities of the Executive office, and President Santa Anna has retired to his plantation for the benefit of his health, which had became enfeebled. In a proclamation to the nation he promises, as soon as his health shall permit, to resume the Executive functions in accordance with the expressed public will. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. Nov. 16.—A fair amount of business was trans acted in State Stocks this morning. State Five per Cents. advanced per cent., and Kentucky State Sevens sold at a decline ofl. Southern Exchanges were dull, with but little va riation in rates. Our Stock Market shows a decided improvement in the Stocks of the State and city, their rates having gradually advanced from 1 to 3 per cent. Ohio, Ken tucky, and Pennsylvania Loans have also advanced, and a better feeling may be said to pervade the market generally, though no disposition is evinced to specu late; the purchases made are altogether for invest ments. There is a total absence for all foreign demand. Money is still quite abundant, though the amount of paper caused by the renewal of business in the south gives employment to more of our banking capital. Foreign Exchanges have been in fair demand at our quotations, and the departure of two steamers has left the market rather bare at present. The supply of paper from the south has thus fitr been limited ; but as shipments have commenced, and exchange there on the north is becoming equalised, we think it probable the supply will soon increase considerably, which will scarcely be met by a corresponding demand—the fall business being now pretty much over. In commerce generally, we are sorry to s a y the same stagnation prevails as before, and the period of its revival can only he a matter of vague conjecture. UNITED STATES SECURITIES. Offd.

This should not have been, and we trust will never occur again. They were, however, dug up, and received Christian burial, followed to the grave by those of their comrades who had been more for tunate than themselves. The hull of the vessel was sold for 180/., and the tea, upon an average, at 33f. the box. The following bodies have been picked up on the coast during the past week :--Mr. Legge and F. A. Blake, Capt. Tucker's servant, and two seamen. News has ar rived this morning of another body being cast on shore, and from the'description of the clothes it would seem to be that of Capt. Tucker.—Boulogne Gazette of Monday. We have to announce the death of Lady Patteson, the wife of that most excellent, humane, and learn-d Judge, Mr. Justice Patteson.

ANOTHER CASE.--Mr. Benjamin Wilson, an inde pendent, worthy farmer, living in the easterly part of this town, has been made insane by the fanatical Millerites. There are others, we learn, in that region who are but little better off than Mr. Wilson. The howlings of these deluded people, in a still evening can be heard for miles.—Fall River Argus. AUDITORS.

The most rational motives to Lafe Assurance are found in the plan adopted by this Society; viz. joined to a secure provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

Credit until death, with privilege of payment at any time previously, for one-half of the premiums for the first five years upon Assurances for the whole of life ; a plan peculiarly advan tageous for securing Loans. 2.
