MINING a INVESTMENT. —Parties seeking safe and profitable investments should turn their attention to the shares of those compalies formed for mining, especially when their estates are in Co nwall and Devon.

At the last meeting of this society, Mr. James Simp eon, president in the chair, on reading the minutes of discussion of the meeting of January 24, attention was directed to the statement of the experiments recently made at Alnwick,onthe quantity of water discharged through a " pot-pipe" of Ei inches diameter ; for while, on the one hand, the results of the experiment suffi- ciently confirmed the accuracy of the formulae of Du Buat, Eytelwein, Smeaton, Prony, Hawksley, and other investigators, and as iecidedly contradicted the results published in the blue-books emanating from the Board of Health, these results, nevertheless, differed too con- siderably from other consistent conclusions to be fully relied upon, and it was therefore desirable that this ex periment should not be taken as a datum upon which to found any hydraulic law for the determination of the quantity of water which might be transmitted through tubes. For this purpose, indeed, the cited experiment must be deemed unsatisfactory, because pot-pipes were never of uniform or exact diameter—inclinations were - --- always - more or less vaguely stated, joints were seldom sound, and when the discharge was into free space, the differential level was rarely satisfactorily afforded. Moreover, this experiment itself was, in some respects, contradicted by very carefully. conducted experiments made by Monsieur Couplet, at Versailles, on a pipe 18 inches in diameter, the results of which were extremely consistent with the mathematical deter minations successfully resorted to by all practical hydraulic engineers. The experiment by Monsieur Couplet was made on a pipe of 43,200 inches long and 18 inches diameter, the motive head was 145 inches (all French measures), the calculated velocity was 401 inches, while the observed velocity was 39 1-6 inches, differing from the velocity calculated from esta blished formUlm only about 3 per cent. It was also contended to be extremely undesirable that centralised authorities should continue to exist, as it was uniformly found that these authorities did great mischief by the wide dissemination of errors, apparently under Govern ment influence, and by the consequent repression of scientific and practical iinprovements. The paper read was "Macadamized Roads, for the Streets of Towns," by Mr. J. Pigott Smith, Assoc. Inst. O.E. The lengthened experience of the author, as sur veyor to the corporation of Birmingham, having under his charge about 150 miles of street road and 50 miles of turn pike road, enabled him to express confident opinions on the comparative cost, durability, and general quali ties of paving, and of broken stone, for roads, and even for streets, subject to a considerable amount of heavy traffic. The parties chiefly interested in having good roads were shown to be the owners of carriages and horses, and the ratepayers, at whose expense the roads were originally constructed and consequently maintained. - 'For both these &stases, " cheateaaada' (i.e., those of small first-cost) were contended, generally, to be the dearest ; horse-power being uselessly expended, carriages destroyed, and constant repairs to the surface of the road being necessitated. Any undue increase of tractive power was shown to fall indirectly on all who purchased any commodities conveyed through the streets, and the annoyances and hindrances to commerce arising from ill-paved or ill-kept, muddy, dirty, and noisy streets were patent to all. 1)1e necessity was thence deduced for having the roads and streets so constructed that the surface should be firm, even, and smooth, with out being slippery, and be free from mud,. or dust, or loose stones. To attain this, the foundation should be of firm material, well consolidated, and perfectly drained, then covered with stones broken to uniform dimensions, well raked in and fixed by a binding composition of grit, collected during wet• weather by Whitworth 's sweeping inachine and preserved for the purpose. This binding being regularly laid on, watered, if in dry weather, would, in great thorougfares, consolidate the new metal in a few hours, preserving the sharp angles of the stones, which assumed all the regularity of a well-laid pavement, with a considerable saving of material, and a firmer crust than by the ordinary method, of allowing the vehicles to pass, for many days, over the uncovered surface of the new stories, grinding off the angles with a deafening noise, and forming dust, or mud, to be carried on to the footpaehs and into the houses and shops. Instances were given of the advantages of this system of using the grit for binding, which should, however, be that col lected by the sweeping machines, and not mere slimy mud. A street in Birmingham, subject to great traffic, had been thus perfectly made and consolidated in five days, whereas, tinder the ordinary system, three months would have been required to produce the same effect. The repairs were capable of being effected any period of the year ; under no circumstances were the street surfaces permitted to be worn down, and they were never stopped as was the case for lifting and re-paving. Rules were then given for keeping the surface in perfect travelling order, for picking off all loose materials, for sweeping and never scraping, for preserving the profile of the surface and getting rid of all lodged water, for light watering in dusty weather, and heavy watering when there was adhesive mud, that could not be otherwise re moved by the long brushes of Whitworth's sweeping machines, which were contended to be indispensable for keeping roads and streets in good repair, and for preventing the nuisances of mud and dust. The system employed in London, of heavy watering without remo ving the mud, or of scraping and of hand-sweeping, and lifting by shovels into carts was shown to be bad and expensive. The loss of speed and the extra power re quired to be exerted by horses drawing ,carriages over street surfaces in the state of those in London were shown to be as much as 25 per cent. as compared to the work done in Birmingham. The employment of a better system, combined with the use of the sweeping machines, had been produetive, at Birmingham, of an economy of nearly one-third of the materials employed for the construction andirepairs of the streets and roads. Instances were given of the actual results of the system of washing and sweeping parts of the Quadrant, Regent street, where the method had been satisfactorily proved to have produced superior effects, but prejudice had in duced obstinate adherence to the old system, to the an noyance of the public and with the derision of all foreigners who visited the metropolis. The actual state of all the leading thoroughfares could vouch for the jus tice of the criticism on the present metropolitan system. The greatest amount of wear and tear of macadamised street surface, in Birmingham, was shown to be 4 inches per annum, the average might be therefore taken at 2 inches ; the cost of maintenance was 4d. per super ficial yard, and that of watering and cleansing was 2d., giving a total of 6d. 'per yard per annum. Paving cost 15s. per yard ; it required to be renewed once in 15 years, and the cleansing cost about Ad. per yard. Paving was, therefore, evidently about double as expensive as macadamising at Birmingham. It was, therefore, con tended, that macadamised roads and street surfaces, if properly constructed and carefully managed, well water cleansed for mud and watered for dust, brushed, or swept by machinery, maintained with a uniform surface, and not permitted to become degraded, were well adapted for towns and cities of average traffic, and for many localities in and around the metropolis. ►N COMMISSION. again yesterday, at 32, their inquiry. Present -I,nehere and Sir John Patte (proceedings, • . laugh.) I know that I never spent such a month in thy life. The Chairman—Yon mean that it was a, most agrie able trip ? Mr• Anderton—l do, sir. It was the most agreealkel, one I ever took part in. (Renewed laughter.) • Mr. Richardson, solicitor, who was previously ex amined respectingthe ptirehase of the Citizen newspaper, attended for the purpose of repeating his former evidence; to the effect that Mr. Benjhmin Scott - and Mr. Toulmin Smith were joint purchasers and proprietors of that,. paper. He thought it necessary to appear and state that he adhered to his former evidence on that point, be cause Mr: Scott had in some manner contradieted• him., Mr. Tiirnley, chairman of the navigatkot ceminittee of the,oorporation, was next examined. He said - Chit he had held his present office for the last three yeirW: He wa,§, a lighterman on the river.: The chairman of-the com mittee was not always connected with the ,river trade; but there were at present two members on thecommittee who were engaged in that trade. There wereother gentlemen on it also Who were perfectly conversant with the business of navigation, and ' who had acted on; the committee for several years. There were shoals in . the river and always would be. The committee, how: ever, had not sufficient fun;ds to keep the navigation in as efficient a state as was 'desirable. The river was not a source of profit to thecorpo:ration, but rather the contrary. Witness then said 'he wisheld to state that in June last he was elected one of the sheriffs of London, but declined to serve. A man named Roe came to him one day anti said he wanted to see him. Roe th. en said, " I am very sorry, but I must make yea sheriff to, tnorrow.•"- ,(Aiaugb d ) Witness replied that he was very much obliged to him, but if elected he would neither serve nor pay the fine. Witness was a member of the Merchant Tailor's Company, and Rose therefore, no doubt, thought he was fair game for plunder. This man Rose had impowtuned him every year, but witness had kept his hands, out of his pocket. Having re fused Rose money, witness was at last elected sheriff. He then memorialised the Cou'at of Aldermen to excuse his paying the fine, and had toad them that they might have his body, but they should -never have his property. (A. laugh.) After Mr. Rose had done him the honour of electing him, he sent some hundreds of "unwashed gen tlemen" to him for him to pay them for supporting him. Three years before the same man came to him in the same manner, and said, " I am sorry, but I must make you sheriff." Witness then told him that he had 400 persons who would attend and hold up their hands against him, when Rose exclaimed, " Oh, I don't mind that; I have 900 who vllll hold up their hands for you. I have 200 bankers' clerks - who come out at one o'clock to their dinners and they will vote for you." (Laughter.) The system was certainly a. very disgraceful one, and no respectable man would act as sheriff whilst it continued. The corporation had nothing to do with Mr. Rose' pro ceeding! ; in fact, he acted altogether independent of them. Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Ctrosby-square, examined : He bad been a member of the Court of Common Council for the last 20 years, and had acted as a member of the Irish Society in 1843 and 1844. The management ex penses of the Irish Society were certainly rather large, but there was no analogy between the society's estates and the estates of a private proprietor. The society's law expenses had been very great some years ago ; but the suits were all now terminated, and this heavy item of expenditure would not again recur. The society had been driven into a course of litigation to defend its own rights, and had had no other alternative but to embark in these proceedings or give up its property. The 7001. paid by this society to the corporation of Londonderry went to defray the salary of the recorder and other muni cipal officers ; and if the society did not make this con tribution a town-rate would have to be made for the same objects, and 'to this late the tenants of the society would have to contribute. 'The society used to exercise a political influence over its tenants, but it exercised no such influence now. The mode formerly was for the society, when the *candidates were in the field, to tell the tenants the man whom it expected they would re turn, but all that had been since changed. The inquiry was then adjourned till Thursday. CITY OF LOND The royal commission sat ingdon-street, arid resumed the Right, Hon. Henry Lab( son. At the opening of thi Mr. Payne, coroner of the city of London, appeared to explain a portion of they evidence which had been given at a previous sitting. He wished to state, with regard to the assertion thai. the Lord Mayor was the coroner of the - city of London, that this was an entire mistake. The charter of Edward VI. said that the Mayor and . Conitnonalty t)f London might appoint whom they would to the Office of coronet ; and the act of the 11th George 1., which regulated the City elections, stated that the election of the coroner and other officers should still remain in the Common Coun cil. Therefore, the Lord Mayor was not the coroner. Again, it had been stated that the office of 'coroner in the City was an annual office. He would take the liberty of stating that •it was not an annual office, but an office which was .held ditring good behaviour; and this view was borne out by the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of the Queen and Grimshaw; in 1847, when Mr. Justice Patteson said that "a coroner well in, was in for life, ad 'could not be displaced without cause duly shown." Mr. Sergeant Merewether, own clerk, attended, and produced A lisV the 9fitces o e corporation which had beers Purchaserby their pr , - -'t pOisessors or by their • predecessors. They were as - follows : the two attorneys Of the Mayor's court, the firreserjeant of the chamber, the yeoman of the water-side,:the swordbearer's young man, common huntsman's young man, the water-bailiff's young man, thefruit meters, and the deputy oyster meters. He wished to state that it was the intention of the com mon Council to put an end to the practice of selling offices for the future. Mr. Merewether then reverted to the subject of the sale by the corporation of Sir Thomas Gresham's house to the Government in 1768 for a ground rent of 5001, a year. He repeated that the cor poration had made no improvident bargain in effecting a sale on these terms. Indeedkeonsiderin g th e inc r ease d w value of the property since 1763, and the b u ildi ngs th a t had been since erected on the site, he thought that the 108;000/. which had been obtained by the Government at the recent sale did notadequately represent that in creased value. Mr. Anderton, under sheriff' for the city of London and the county of Middlesex, examined. He said that the under-sheriffs were appointed by the sheriffs: The secondary of London was, however, practically speaking the under-sheriff of London, for he discharged all the duties of the office ; and the under-sheriffs were only under-sheriffs for Middlesex. His own emoluments as under-sheriff for the last quarter amounted to 1751., which was about a fair average. He had to keep up some little state, viz., a carriage with a pair of horses— he had to attend the sheriffs, and to contribute to cha 'rifles. He was appointed under-sheriff by Sir John Musgrove, and afterwards by Mr. Sheriff Wire, without any solicitation on his part. He had to attend at the Old Bailey assizes, and to accompany the sheriffs on all public occasions ; but the work was for the most part done by the deputy under-sheriff, Mr. Burchell. The . Chairman—What is the use, then, of maintaining the office of under-sheriff at all ? Mr. Anderton—To indemnify the sheriff for any losses he may sustain ; and for giving that indemnity the under sheriff receives the fees of the office. Mr. Anderton then stated that he had to pay 2001. in the shape of in demnification during his last under-shrievalty. The officers from whom he took security in that case failed, as did also their sureties. • The Chairman—ls there any necessity for continuing the office of under-sheriff of Middlesex ? Mr. Anderton—No, if the corporation would under take the risk themselves, as they do in the case of the under-sheriff-uf.London. The Chairman—Have you anything more to say ? Mr. Anderton—Oh, a great deal. (A laugh.) I have been a common-councilman for 17 years, and have stood 13 contests, but I never solicited a vote or spent a single sixpence ito procure' my election. In the year 1846 I was deputy-governor of the Irish Society, and I visited the estates in the summer of that year. The corporation have no more to do with the Irish Society than any gentleman in this room. They do not receive a shilling of profit from it, and their only connection with it is, that they have a visitorial power over the estates. The Irish Society has large estates in the north of Ireland, but I never knew them to exercise any political influence over their tenants. The land is principally let upon leases, renewable for ever. Sivateberir Ferguson isorie of their large tenants. lam not now a member of the Irish Society, because we only serve for two years, and usually retire when we have acquired a knowledge of our duties. The committee receives "line money," and my share of it amounted to 151. a year. This money is for attendances. We had "good-fellowship" expenses be sides. The attendances to the committee have been much reduced of late years. The governor is rarely removed at the expiration of his two years of office. The present governor is Mr. Alderman Humphery, who has been annually elected to that office for many years past. The Chairman--I find that in the accounts of the society for the year 1832 the sum of 3,4601. is charged for law expenses ; and I see by an explanatory note, that a portion of that expenditure was applied in defray ing the expenses of Alderman Thorpe's election for the borough of Coleraine,. Can you account for this ? Mr. Anderton—l cannot ; but I am not surprised at anything that may have occurred many years ago. The corporation of Londonderry and Coleraine are bound by their charter to submit their by-laws for the approval of the Irish Society, and I believe they are agreed to as a matter of course. The Chairman—You say that the corporation have nothing to do with the Irish Society. But does not the society emanate from the corporation ; and in the case of misappropriation of the funds, would not the corpora tion have the power to interfere. Mr. Anderton—ln that case they have ; but the cor poration only regard themselves as visitors. When I was a visitor the estates had not been visited for many years ; but of late years the visits have been more fre quent. When I went I was allowed to spend 5001. altogether, but I only spent 400 i. Our deputation was seven in number, and we entertained the gentlemen of the county, the clergy of all denominations, and the principal tenants. We visited every estate, and gave directions that every labourer should be put to work. The society thought that we spent too much money in our visit, but we gave invitations instead of accepting them. The Chairman find that in the year 1846 the total expense for managing the society's estates was 2,0001., out of a gross annual rental of 8,500/. Does not that sum for management appear to you rather large? Mr. Anderton—l do not see Where you can reduce it. The Chairman —But what do you think would be the opinion of a private proprieto r if he found the expenses of management on his estate so great ? Mr. Anderton—A private proprietor would not have so many expenses Ito pay, as he would live on the pro perty ; and besides, a private proprietor does not do half the good that the Irish Society does on its pro perty. In 1846 we spent 3 ,451/. on purposes of educa tion, and 1,484/, on charitable purposes and public im provements ; making a total of 4,9651 . The Chairman—l find that in the same year (1846) the society's law expenses in Ireland were 3,2611., and in England 3 141 . more ; making, in one year, 3 ; 575/. out of an income of 8,5001. Mr. Anderton—That was a very unfortunate year, as the society had several law-suits to settle, all of which, however, they were enabled to get rid of. The society allows the corporation of Londonderry 700/. a-year to wards their municipal expenses. I believe they are en titled to something under their charter, and they re ceived this money as a sort of quietus, for they had alwaya been picking holes in the society. The Chairman—Do you know any other town whose municipal officers are paid by grants of this kind ? Mr. Anderton—No, but I know there are many others who would like it. (A laugh.) The Chairman—l find that the exp enses of manage ment in 1853 were very heavy, includi ng 5606 . f or t h e attendance of members. Do you not think that the expenses of management are generally very he av y ? Mr. Anderton—lf yo u or I, sir, h ad the manage ment of the expenditure of the Ho use of Commons it would no doubt be managed cheaper, y ou cannot ex pect public property to be mana g ed as economically as private property. We have done a great deal of good in Ireland. The Chairman—Oh, I d o not for a moment dispute that ; but my question is, as this property is only in tended to be managed for the good of the district, whether greater means of doin g g oo d might not have been obtained if there had been greater economy in the management ? Mr. Anderton—l think you might possibly have saved a few pounds in the mana g eme nt , but I do not believe you would have done so much good. If I lay out a pound liberally I always get 25 5. back for it. At the same time I admit tha t if t were to be appointed a member of the society again, the experi ence I h ave already gained would enable me to , look better after its affairs. The Chairman—Have you anything further to add ? Mr. Anderton—l wish to say a word on Mr; Thom son Hankey's evidence in disparagement of the Lord Mayor's annual banquet in the Guildhall. Whatever may be Mr. Hankey's opinion of that banquet, it is quite clear that Mrs. Hankey's opinion is very different— (laughter)—because I have in my possession two letters from Mr. Hankey to the Remembrancer, begging for tickets of admission for Mrs. Hankey. (Renewed laugh ter.) Witness then controverted the adverse evidence of Mr. Travers with regard to the respectability of the aldermen and common councilmen, and afterwards ex pressed his hope that the Lord Mayor's show would not be abolished. The Chairman—Going back for a moment to the Irish Society, do you not think that the number of gentle men composing the deputation to Ir el and is too large ? Mr. Anderton—Yes, I think it may be ; but every member of the committee wishes to do his duty ; and, moreover, there is a pleasant run into the country, (A, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LivERPOOL, FEB. 7.

The commissioners assembled yesterday at Guildhall, Deputy Peacock in the chair. After the routine business of the court was transacted, Mr. DAW (the chief clerk) laid before the court the Great London Drainage Company's Bill, which has been introduced into the House of Commons, and explained its various details to the commissioners. It was agreed that the members of the City commission who are on the metropolitan commission should confer with the Metro politan Commissioners, with a view to bring under the consideration of her Majesty's Government the plan for intercepting drainage of the metropolis prepared by their own -engineers, and now under the consideration of the joint commissioners, and which will anticipate the works proposed to be done under this bill by a joint stock company. Complaint having been made of an insufficient supply of gas to 50 or 60 public lamps in the district lighted by the Great Central Gas Company, the secretary of that company attended, and was heard upon the subject. Many of the commissioners and their surveyor spoke to the fact of insufficient light for some time past ; but no fine was inflicted, in consideration of the fact that it was the first complaint ever made against the company. The CHAIRMAN advised the company to be very care ful in future. Several of the scavenging contractors were fined for the non-performance of their duty, in penalties amount ing in all to 151.

MARINE DISASTERS. LIVERPOOL, TIIESDAY.—Every day the vessels from the United States at this port report very severe weather in the Atlantic during the past week. The voyages of the ocean mail steamers also bear evidence to the truth of the statement, as we find that the Europa, which left this port on the 31st Dec., did not reach New York until the 16th ; the Baltic, which left on the 29th Dec., did not arrive until the 12th January ; the Niagara, which sailed hence for Boston on the 7th, did not reach her destination until the 25th ultimo ; while the Atlantic, which left this port for New York on the 11th ultimo, had not arrived on the 25th, although fourteen days out. Sailing ships, however, seem to have fared much worse, as no less than three, which sailed from this port to New York in the early part of January, h‘ve put back to port to-day, viz., the Montezuma and Euroclyden, which sailed on the Bth ult., and the Ex celsor, on the 9th. The former of these ships was for 11 days beating between long. 22 and 24, and bore up •n the 21st in that longitude for this port leaky, with masts injured and loss of stancheons. The New World, from New York, at this port, reports having lost her sails, boats, bulwarks, water casks, &c., during severe weather. The Peter Rolt, which sailed for New York on the 16th ult., has put into Scrabster Roads, on the north coast of Scotland, with loss of boats and sails, rudder much damaged, and four feet of water in the hold. The weather in the Channel has also been very severe, especially the last few days. The Ethope, which sailed on the 2d inst. for Gibraltar and the c4ulna,re, for Africa, which sailed on the 4th, have returned to port. The Charles Souchay, which arrived to day from Charente, reports having passed yesterday, about 10 miles S.W. of Holyhead, the schooner Hylton, of Pentewan, aban doned, having been apparently in contact. The schooner Gulnare and the Penningham barque, for Rio Janeiro from this port, put into Beaumaris Bay to-day. Th. Bona Ventura, from Savannah for this port, went ashore this morning at Rhosnagye, near Holyhead, and cut away her foremast, which carried away her off ma i n topmt. The crew were saved, and the ship is likely to be got o when lightened, at high water. STOPPING THE SUPPLlES.—lnformation has been re ceived, from a source in which we place the utmost reli ance, but which we are not at liberty just now more directly to indicate that a Government officer has been round the manufactories in our immediate neighbourhood within the last few days, and that one of the effects of his visit has been the placing of the Ordnance mark upon some machinery on the premises of one of our most eminent firms. The machinery in question, it is said, was intended for the Russian Government.— Greenwich. Observer. CUSTOMS RECEIPTS AT THE PORT OF LIVERPOOL.--The Customs receipts at this port for the year ending Dec. 31, amount to 3,411, 8191 . As com p ared with t he year 1852, the receipts show a decrease of 72,8061.—n0t at tributable, however, to any diminution of trade, but rather to the gradual reduction of duties on articles im .ported into this country.

Had the baronies consented to adopt :the original suggestion of the board for a guarantee of four per cent., there could be no • doubt that by this dine considerable progress` would have been mace; under present circumstances, the directors have no other alternative than to wait until existing difficul • , tieS shall have passed away, when no effort will be f • • spared on their part to complete a line so important to the districts over which it is to be carried, and to the interests of the company. The directors have made application for a bill to authorise the construction of a branch railway to the Own of Skibbereen. Arrange ments are contemplated for establishing Crookhaven as a Transatlantic station for telegraphic messages between the Old and New Worlds, the Cork and Bandon Rail way thedir being e e te r u e s e a d r ea of s a e p m i n e i d e i h u m t h , a t s o w h fa e n r a t hs e x p t e e r n t d a s h , e a e n e d f this position is fully known and appreciated as a shorter and more advantageous route between Great Britain and America than any other, passengers, mails, and light merchandise will eventually be conveyed to and from this favoured point. The engineer states, in his report, that the recent reduction in the number of daily trains has tended to reduce the working expenses, and that the whole of the working stock is in good order. The capital account to December 31 last shows that 311,1851. had been received, and 310,410/. expended, leaving a balance of 7751. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of December showed that 5,486/. had been re ceived, and 4,064/. expended, leaving a profit of 1,4221. To this sum is added 451/ ' the - balance from the last account; and from the total 1,6041. is deducted for in terest on loans and preference shares, leaving a balance of 2691. The directors propose to raise 100,0001. of addi tional capital to lay down a second line of rails, and to provide additional stock for carrying the increased traffic expected from the proposed extension line to Bantry and Clonakilty, 40 miles in length. They propose to guarantee 6 per cent. per annum on the 100,0001. for 10 years, and 4 per cent. per annum in perpetuity after wards. An estimate is given with a view to show that the traffic on the railway in 1855 will amount to 15,6921., and the expenses to 13,2261., leaving 2,4651. available for dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum upon ' 40,000/, of the proposed guaranteed share-capital, only 20,0001. of which, it is expected, will be called up within this and the next year. GREAT WESTERN. It appears that arrangements have been made for con veying passengers over the Great Western and Shrews bury lines from Paddington to Chester and Birkenhead, and vice versa: There is one break in the route at Bir mingham, which renders it necessary to convey the pas sengers in omnibuses from the Great Western station at Snow-hill to the Stour Valley station at New-street, Birmingham. The anticipated competition between the Great Western and the London and North-Western Railways for the northern traffic will come into opera tion at last, and it is expected will prove far less inju rious to the shareholders of both companies than the enormous expenditure of capital in Parliament to effect it, on the one hand, and to prevent it on the other. The hundreds of thousands expended with a view to prevent an imaginary-evil has produced a real one in the shape of unproductive capital sunk, upon which interest must be paid for ever, while the anticipated evil of reducing the revenue of both companies may never occur. SOUTH-EASTERN. The committees of shareholders formed severally at London Liverpool, and Manchester have agreed to re commend the proprietors to elect Sir John Campbell, Mr. Matthew Forster, and Mr. Jonathan Mellor to fill the three seats becoming vacant in the direction in March next by the retirement of three of the present directors, who will, of course, be eligible for re-election. It is stated that the candidates for those vacancies are advocates of strict economy and opposed to all unneces sary and unprofitable expenditure of capital. COCKERDIOUTII AND WORKINGTON.

THE WAGES MOVEMENT. PRESTON, FEB. 7. , —The initiative has been taken in a movement which, it is hoped, may result in bringing together the masters and men, who have been so long estranged. The following memorial, which is to be signed by the mayor, the clergy, and the chief inhabi tants of the town, is to be presented to-morrow—whe ther to a general meeting of the Masters' Association specially convened for the purpose, or to the committee, has not yet transpired : " TO THE MASTER MANUFACTURERS OF PRESTON. " Gentlemen,—A crisis has arrived in the condition of the town which impels us to address you in the language of respectful but earnest entreaty. Disastrous as the con sequences of the long suspension of factory labour have already proved, we feel persuaded that a longer suspension of that labour will prove infinitely more disastrous, if not, in many respects, permanently ruinous. Our observation leads us to believe that the losses and sufferings necessarily attendant upon the cessation of industrial activity to so great an extent have become so aggravated and intolerable as to produce a general, sincere, and strong desire for the resumption of work. We believe that a large proportion of your people are most anxious for the opportunity which you alone can afford them to resume their work ; not those only who were forced against their will into the bondage of a union, but many also who now see their error in forming or encouraging such a union. On the grounds therefore alike of policy and of humanity, we entreat you to take the first step in what wo trust will be a return to peace and prosperity, by opening your mills for actual work without further delay, and without previous formal conditions. And we entertain a sanguine hope that such a step on your part will be found prudent as well &a i r com passionate, and issue, under the Divine blessingt_ie athre mutual benefit of yourselves and y o u r people. w gentlemen, &c.

EARLY SLEEP. --Maidens who will sit up or lie Awake I chattering, and young men who will stay eat late at night, are often ad mon i s h e d b y their elders that one hour's sleep before midnight is worth any two after the witching time of night : while the fair sex are tempted to the early roost because it is so beneficial to the com plexion. If this repose just before midnight is so whole some, what must it be after dinner? [A.DvEnTisEmENT.j—Holloway's Pills a safe and cer tain cure for Coughs, Colds, and Asthmatical Corn plaints.—The autumnal quarter is the season when coughs, colds, and wheezings on the chest are most pre valent ; such are the properties of Holloway's Pills, that if taken at the commencement of the attack, the viru lence of the disease is very much abated, and the patient thereby suffers little or no inconvenience, but if neg-• lected, it frequently occurs that the foundation of in curable disorders is laid.; therefore let those who are liable to attacks of this nature try these invaluable pills, and they are also particularly recommended to those who are afflicted with asthmas and diseases of the chest. —Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 22.4, Strand, Loudon.

Owing to the great activity which has been exhibited in appointing all the officers, with the exception of the captain, to the Nile, 91, screw steam-ship, at Devon - port, it is expected that that fine ship will be selected as the flag ship of Vico-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., on his being appointed commander-in-chief of the North Sea Fleet, and the gallant admiral will have the se lection of his own flag-captain, which would account for the delay in appointing an offiter of that rank to the Nile. We stated ten weeks ago that in the event of a North Sea Fleet being required, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Napier would have the command of it; and the seamen in her Majesty's service are delighted at the prospect of again serving under him. _ _ . An order was received here to-day, from the Admiralty to make a return immediately of every pensioner serving in the dockyard, distinguishing those who have served as sea men and marines, and it is supposed they will be called upon to serve afloat, as they would be found highly useful, in instructing and bringing forward, by their good exam ple, the numerous landsmen now daily entering the ser vice. Some idea may be for me d o f th e num b er o f recru it s en tering the Royal Marine branch of the service when it is stated that during the month of January 130 fine young men passed their medical inspection for the Woolwich division, and they are now instructed daily in their drills and a knowledge of the ship gun exercises under Capt. Payne. The Archer screw steam-sloop has been taken into dock to have new copper on her bottom, and be again made ready for sea. 4. , PORTSMOUTH, FRB. 7. Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., late Captain of the Excel lent, has, as we announced yesterday, been commissioned to hoist his flag in the Edinburgh, 58, for service in the North Sea. The Edinburgh not having arrived yet from Plymouth, the Princess Royal, 91, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, temporarily carries the new Admiral's flag. The Neptune, 120, Captain E. H. Scott, flag of Rear- Admiral Martin, Superintendent of this dockyard, has re ceived orders to fit for sea service with all possible despatch, and to complete her complement of men to 950. This is unquestionably the finest sailing three-decker at present in commission. The Cwsar, 91, Captain Robb, embarked her Marines to day, consisting of one captain, one first•lieutenant, two second - lieutenants, two serjeants, two corporals, two drummers, and. 87 privates of the divisional companies ; and one second-lieutenant, one serjeant, one corporal, and 25 gunners of the artillery companies. The officers draughted for these detachments are Captain Charles C.F. Menzies, First Lieutenant. E. T. T. Jones, Second Lieu tenant E. Gladstone, of the artillery companies. The masts for this ship are ready, and the utmost exertions are made to get her out of hand. Volunteers continue to come in very briskly. Four large vanloads were delivered at the dockyard this after noon containing about 60 men. Much enthusiasm seems to prevail. The ships of the Baltic fleet are ordered to assemble at Spithead for the Downs before the 6th proximo. The Cyclops, steam transport, Master-Commander R. W. Roberts, loft Spithead for the Mediterranean with artil lery and stores for the Black Sea fleet this evening. The Talbot, 26, ordered to be fitted at Deptford as a ship, for the conveyance of supplies to the Arctic Regions, has been jury-rigged, bent sails, and received her tem porary crew ready for railing. The Drogou, 6 paddle-frigate, Captain J. Willcox, will be docked on Thursday, to have her copper, &c., examined. Captain Willcox has visited the ports on the Dorsetshire coast since Saturday with the vie v of picking up hands, and has succeeded in finding a few. Several of his old. crew, of the Fury, on hearing of his commission, volun teered their services. The Avon, steam-tender, Master-Commander Veitch, came in to-day from Plymouth, with supernumeraries, whom having discharged, she took in others and returned to Devonport. The Saracen sailed. this evening for the China station. The St. George, 121, Captain Kingeorne, received orders to-day to prepare for sea with all dispatch. Artificers have already commenced stripping off her jury gear. The St. George was built at this dockyard in 1840, and has not yet put to sea. THE ARMY. 1 34 5 , !

EmIGRATo N . — It appears to have been notified by of the Em igra ti on C omm i ss i oners that the n t the p ar n s +; stem, which has hitherto discouraged the g r 0 ch of self-respect on the part of the Government p-ogrants and wasted the resources of the colonies, is to be abandoned. Immediately after the gold discoveries it was pointed out that the entire principle upon which these matters had been conducted was erroneous. While the emigrant at the commencement of a career requiring only honesty and industry to insure unlimited prospe rity was degraded by a mode of charity which taught no obligation to repay the help, so that it might profit ably return at a future period to assist others in like need, the proceeds of the land sales, which should have been applied to public works, were continuously drained_ Since that period a discussion of the question in Austra lia has led to an act being passed for the establishment of a sounder practice, the spirit of which is now b e i ng acted upon by the home authorities. Henceforth emi grants are to undertake to discharge the cost of their passage in one or two years from the date of their land ing by entering the service of employers who will b ecome bound for them. At t he same time, there ar e certain provisions of the law whic h p revent the plan from ope rating injuriously t o them as re g ards wages, and whi c h also enable them, under certain circumstances, by a voluntary payment, to anticipate the expiration of their terms of employment.
