SUCCESS OF THE DERBY DAY. GREAT Preparations having been made for the reception of Company—the rain having ceased, and the sun having taken out an order for continued rays—the Downs were a scene of great excitement amt splendour. The calculations of those acquainted with sporting affairs are always regulated by the qualifi eatto,,s and circumstance, which attend the successtul. Such calcu lations are very rational and businesslike ; in this way every one is accustomed to regard the establishments of E. MosEs and Sort, taking the qua lifi cat i ons , talent. and experience mtber hey of years every person have eYhibited, with the success they have had for a great nu looks upon them as the model of commercial population, and Sp rts xacrt or not, will at any time venture five hundred to one on the superior quality, unparalleled fit, first-rate fashion, endless novelty, Perfect suitability and unequalled cheapness of the Attire made by Moses and SoN. It would require a very long art cle to mention but a traction of the success which attended the productions of E. MosEs a nd soN 00 the Derby Day, the gentlemanly appearance they ti n, Parted, the comfort they secured, the consciousness of superiority at, le and fashion which they gave, and the private satisfaction every one had in the remembrance of their trifling cost in compari 'oll with what would have had to he elsewhere, were the greatest elements in the success of the Derby Day.

MosEs and SON do on one occasion, they at e Prepared to do on any other, and every Style of Summer hosiery, for Juveniles and Adult , ; every article in Hats, Caps, Ladies' and Childress' Dress, Liveries, Uniforms, Sailors' and Me chanics' Hosiery, Clothing, Outfits for Military, Naval, and Professional En g, agements, and for Ladies' and Gentlemen emigrating to any climate I r' the World, are at any moment to be obtained at E. MOSES and SON'S at the most economical prices. E. MOSES and SON'S Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe D epartments, offer advantages in quality and price which it is im- Possible to find at any other House. CAUTION.—F.. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the Public against imposition, hxving learned that the untradesman-like f alsehood of "Being connected with their Establishment," or , " It's same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for Obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have 11 0 CONNEXION WITH ANT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OM OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : _London City Establishment , 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church. all communicating.

For some months past the magnificent new ball-room erecting at Breadalbane-bOUSe has been h urr i e d forward in ord er t o b e c ompleted in time to be used on the pre sent auspicious occasion, and by the most unceasing ex ertions it was only finished about half an hour before the visitors commenced arriving. The noble ma rqu i s , i n order that nothi ng th a t could be desired should be want ing to give the greatest eclat to the entertainment, hired the mansion No. 30, Grosvenor-street, at the Causer of which Breadalban e -h o u se stands, the garden or which adjoins the garden of Breadalbane-house, and by build ing the ball-room on the site of both gardens, throws both mansions into one by means of a c onservatory . at each side of the ball-room, thus giving accommodati on equal to three' mansions. The exterior of Breadalbane house was beautifully illuminated with numerous loyal inscriptions and devices, the light of which attracted a vast crowd of spectators both in Park-lane and Gros venor-street. MR. ALBERT SMITH'S MONT BLANC, Including the BERNESE OBERLAND and the SIMPLON, THIS EVENING, and Every Evening at Eight o'Clock, (excel): Saturday) ; and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday Mornings, at Three. II Stalls, 32. (which can be take n at he box•-ofticß every day from t till 4 ; area, is.; gallery, 13.—EgyPtian Hall, Piccadilly. Brown) parted on Saturday with an esteemed friend on the direction, whom on the following Mon day he found a corpse. He might observe that in proportion as the business of the company went on in creasing, so ought the remuneration of the directors be increased, for an ill-paid director was tantamount to ill paid shareholders. (Hear, hear.) Though rather an Irish congratulation, he was inclined to make favourable mention to the meeting of the large number of policies which had been declined. That, in his opinion, proved the value of an intelligent direction. There was always a certain amount of new business coming in to assurance offices of respectability ; and in many instances, and especially in the years 1848 and 1849, the difficulty was not in procuring business, but in knowing how to decline what was offered ; and it required the greatest vigilance and activity to prevent them being imposed upon. Mr. WINKWORTH seconded the resolution. He said it was impossible to read the report without perceiving that the satisfactory result which it disclosed had been brought about not only by great exertions, but by extra ordinary prudence ; because the amou n t of claims paid bore a very inconsiderable proportion to the amount of business really done. Not only as a shareholder of that company, but as connected with another of a kindred character, was he gratified at the result exhibited, be cause it showed that the field of exertion was ample, and that these undertakings could he carried on with equal advantage to the shareholders and the public. (Hear.) The theory of life guarantee was but imperfectly known. It embraced a large sphere of usefulness, and, when more generally known, it would be more highly appreciated, and more extensively used, not merely by the middle and wealthier, but also by the operative class. (Hear.) The motion was then carried. On the motion of Mr. G. 0. EDWARDS, seconded by Mr. SAUNDERS, Mr. Pratt and Mr. Owen, the retiring auditors, were re-elected. Mr. H. B. RYE proposed that interest, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, should be paid on the paid-up capital of the company, and, in doing so, remarked, that with such an indefatigable manager as Mr. Sheri- Jan, the company would at no very distant period be second to none in the metropolis. Mr. LATIIASI, in seconding the motion said he was present at the launch of the vessel, and knew all the anxieties which attended the event. He had, likewise, witnessed the completion of every voyage, and he might now say, that the good ship had returned from her fifth voyage in a state that would bear any inspection. It must be thought he admitted, on all hands, that they had hitherto made a most successful venture ; but the gratification which they felt in the past would be in creased, if they compared the business of the year just expired with that of former periods, as from the report it would be seen that the income of the last twelve months amounted to half as much as the total income of all the preceding years. He had, therefore, great pleasure in seconding the resolution, which he considered might be agreed to with the greatest propriety and safety. (Cheers. l This, like the preceding resolutions, was p asse d unanimously. Mr. MAnDonat proposed, and Mr. BLUNDEL, seconded a motion for dividing 5511. among the directors, to whom, as well as to the auditors, votes of thanks were passed. Mr. RYE returned thanks on the part of the auditors, who, he said, had not allowed a single item in the ac counts to pass without the fullest investigation, and on i whom, as long as they remained n office, the proprie tors might rely for every aid, it was in their power to give for the protection of their mutual interests. Mr. Wiecox moved a vote of thanks to the medical officers, observing that the best proof of the prudence and care which they had evinced in the examination of lives, was to be found in the extraordinary small amount of claims during the past year. The motion was seconded by Mr. SHERIDAN, and carried. Dr. CoOKE, in acknowledging the compliment, pro mised that the medical officers would continue to bestow the same conscientious care on every case that came be fore them that marked their previous recommendations. Looking at the great number of lives declined, it might perhaps be thought they had been too careful in their examination, and though some of the cases might have turned out to the company's interest, yet, where ever they had the slightest doubt they always recom mended the directors to be cautious in accepting them. The CHAIRMAN said that in consequence of the absence of the gentleman who was to have taken the chair, it fell to his lot to propose a vote of thanks to the manager, Mr. H. B. Sheridan, and the other officers of the com pany. The talents of their manager were known and appreciated by the directors and the shareholders. (Hear, hear.) The exertions and judgment of the medical officers relieved the directors from a great deal of the responsibility which they would otherwise feel with regard to life assurances, and were it not, for the clear ness of judgment and decision of mind which characterised their manager, he believed that with regard to the gua rantee department it would be better to have the ledger closed. (Hear, hear.) The giant's share of the work fell on his shoulders, and he executed it with ability and energy. With respect to the officers generally he would only say that he believed no office was better served. Mr. LiLwAes. cordially seconded the motion, and in doing so said the circumstance of the claims paid by this company being smaller in comparison than those paid by any other company, was to be attributed to two causes. In the first place to the skill and care of the medical officers with reference to the selection oflives, and next to the tact and judgment of Mr. Sheridan in regard to the guarantee department. No one who had not a practical acquaintance with the matter could form any idea of the attempts which were made to defraud public companies of this kind ; and if it were not for the vigilance of the directors, and particularly of the managers, the losses sustained by them would be immense. He believed he only spoke the sentiments of all his brother directors when he said that the great shrewdness of Mr. Sheridan, and his general aptitude for the business he had to tran sact, were one of the best securities for the safe working of the company. (Hear, hear.) The motion was put from the chair, and most cordially agreed to. Mr. BROWN said that before Mr. Sheridan replied, he would wish to know on what kind of securities the amount of 7,0841., mentioned in the balance-sheet, was placed. There appeared to be 3,718/. in agents' hands, which was a large item to be so left. Then 3,0001. was invested in establishing agencies and local boards, He should like to know how much of that sum was a bona fide stock in trade, and how far it might be available. Mr, H. B. SHERIDAN, in acknowledging the vote of thanks, said that with regard to the item of 3,000/. spent in establishing agencies and local boards, there could be no doubt that if they were to sell these appurtenances to an institution founded on a different princ i p le to their own, they would not be worth so much as if they were sold to one of a kindred character. In the latter case, in stead of being worth only 3,000/, they were much more likely to be worth a sum of 8,0001.; for it required the expenditure of a great deal of time, trouble, and money to find out proper and respectable agents, and to educate them, as it were, to the business which they were called on to discharge. (Hear, hear.) If this item were submitted to an actuary, therefore, he would make a considerable addition to it. With regard to the investments, the item referred to was money ad vanced on personal security, with th e addition of the item in of the policies. This was an im p ortant in their business transactions, and he was sorry that they had not more money to lend. With regard to the money in the hands of the agents, he had to ob serve that by the deed their financial ye . ar end hedan in April, and therefore a larger sum appeared in the ds of the agents than would otherwise be the Fase. handßut a large sum of money must always appear in the s of the agents, and it would be found that the current ac count with them always bore a proportion to the amount of business transacted. The agents should not be pul led up too shortly, because if they were troubled too frequently there was danger that they would throw up the agency altogether. He, therefore, thought that they should not be called upon for a settlement more than once in three months. %frith regard to the expenses generally, he had to observe that they pressed more se verely in the first years of an institution like theirs than they would in future pears. They must wait till the valuation now in progress was com pleted, and if it was found that they had a profit it did not matter what they paid for it. (Hear.) Their lo sses were light, particularly in the life assurance department; but they must not ex pect that it would always be below the average. The losses in the guarantee depart ment were 1,2001. On the other hand, what had they received 1 It would be diffi cult to tell till the investigation was completed ; but his opinion was that it was over that amount. A PROPRIETOR asked what was the amount of capital unpaid on the calls. Mr. SHERIDAN said that about 9,001. was the amount unpaid, but one-half of that had since been paid. The remainder represented the first and second calls that had been forfeited. But they were justly assets, inasmuch as he would himself be glad to purchase them if allowed to do so. He begged, in conclu sion, to thank the meet ing, on his own part and on beha lf of the other officers of the company, for the compliment paid them. Mr. BROWN was glad that he drew forth the explana ions of Mr. Sheridan, which h e considered highly satis- the cures which it effected were the effect of imagination. Now, allowing that this were so, it would not lessen his devotion to the science, because he infinitely preferred imagination to physic. (A. laugh.) The second objec tion to it was, that the science was the result of satanic influence, but that was an objection too absurd in itself to need refutation. Tested by a comparison with physic, every man of reason or common sense must be a be- IT NIVER SAL PROVIDENT LIF E ASSURANCE, 52, King William•strect, London -bridge. LIEF ASSURANCE.

Mr. ASHURST MAGENDIE, F.R.S., seconded the re solution. There was no secret whatever in mesmerism. Its professors wished to see it exposed to the world, and so far from having anything to conceal, they invited the medical profession to come and witness its results, and judge for themselves. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. G. S. NOTTIGN moved—" That T. A. Shaw, Esq., Thedosius Purland, Esq., M. Tatham, Esq., and F. C. Beard, Esq., surgeon, be elected members of the committee, in the room of Dr. Ashburner, Lieut.-Col. Topham, Captain the Hon. W. F. Scarlett, and C. Underwood, Esq., who go out by rotation." Rev. Mr. PAUL seconded the resolution, and took the opportunity of expressing his conviction that mesmerism would cease to be practised by unqualified practitioners if medical men would only consent to take it up. The resolution was put and carried unanimously. The Rev. GEORGS SANDBY then moved—" That the manner in which the infirmary is conducted, and the benefits derived from it, render it a highly valuable insti tution, deserving of the suppert of all who know the truth of mesmerism, or who have obtained relief for themselves or their friends through its aid." The insti tution was now moving on steadily—the enemy was not able to silence them by their sneers, but had recourse to different tactics, which, however, were equally unsuc cessful. He moved a resolution, approving of the man ner in which the infirmary is conducted, and pledging the meeting to its support. He said he could bear per sonal testimony to the excellent mode in which the affairs of the institution were managed, and to the dis cretion, ability, and general attention of their excellent secretary. By the careful registration of the diseases which presented themselves, they were gradually collect ing a mass of statistics which, in a few years, would prove most invaluable, as demonstrative of the power of mesmerism in certain cases. The fact was, he had found that mesmerism had very often succeeded best where every ordinary medical and surgical agency had failed. He de tailed striking cases in which he had personally observed the wondrous change which mesmerism had effected in the patients applying at their infirmary. He regretted that mesmerism should be condemned by those who were opposed to spirit rapping, simply because some of the members of the committee happened to believe in that doctrine ; he could assure them that the subject was never brought up at their committees, and that, as Mesmerists, they had nothing to do whateve r with it. He lamente d ' the half-heartedness of many who had de rived great personal advantages from the science, and on the strength of whose fair promises the committee had been induced to enter into those engagements which were now pressing upon them. Lieut.-Colonel Tonal' seconded the resolution, which was carried nem. con. The Chairman then retired, and his place was supplied by the Rev. Mr. Sandby. Captain HUDSON moved the next resolution, as fol lows—" That the progress of mesmerism in different parts of the kingdom continues to be most satisfactory, and offers every encouragement to its friends to persevere in its support. He had, since the last anniversary, at tended 203 meetings exclusively on the subject of mes merism. He had given 50 lectures in Liverpool, 15 in Dublin, and a course of 90 in the town of Sheffield on the subject of mesmerism. He moved a resolution expressive of the gratification felt by the committee at the success of mesmerism in all parts of the country. He detailed some extraordinary cases in which he had succeeded in curing persons by means of mesmerism, unaided by any medical appliances whatever. In one case a young lady had been bed-ridden for nine years, but was now able to walk about as well as he could ; during his visit to Sheffield, he had, more or less, relieved from pain 560 people, 46 of whom he had completely cured from their various diseases. He stated the details of a number of very wonderful cases in which he had been successful in various parts of the country. Mr. SIIAW seconded the resolution, which was then agreed to. Mr. THEODOSIUS PURLAND moved a resolution rela y OWESTOFT ROYAL HOTEL. S.

On entering the Grosvenor-street entrance, the visitor passes straight through the passage into the ball-room. The style of architecture most judiciously chosen to give the most striking effect of grandeur to the scene was entirely taken from the mediaeval Gothic, precisely similar to Westminster Hall on a reduced scale.

At the left of the room were placed the Royal Family, on a raised dais, and over the ;eats were placed the banners of the Royal occupants, namely, the e right hand, Prince Albert's on the left; and outside these the Duchess of Cambridge's and the Duchess of Kent's. Over the door was placed a Gaelic trophy, com posed of armour and weapons used by the ancient Gaels, above which was the Gaelic inscription, " Caed Mille a Failte" (one hundred thousand welcomes). Above the doors, and at each corner of the room, stood ancient suites of steel-plate armour, with long Scotch spears, which was quite in keeping with the medieval character of the whole. Passing through the ante-room on the right, and ascending a flight of stairs, the visitor enters Breadalbane House through the Elizabethan - room, which on this occasion was used as one of the refresh ment rooms. Descending another flight of stairs the drawing-room is regained, which was now turned into a second ball-room, in which also seats were provided for her Majesty and the Royal visitors. Above this ball• room was the great drawing-room, which was used as a supper-room, as also was the back drawing-room, which leads from it. A passage leading from the second ball• room communicates through the reception-room with the Park-lane entrance.

The number of guests invited was about 1,000. The youthful King of Portugal and his Royal brother seemed to take great interest in the unusual scene before them, but they took no active part in the entertainments. Shortly after midnight the illustrious guests proceeded to the supper-room, and partook of the delicacies there prepared for them. At half-past twelve o'clock the Royal carriages veers in attendance.

SLIMMER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES, THE PASTIME OF WAR.—It is generally known among military men that the present war, undertaken for the protection of Turkey, is on a far more costly scale than any war hitherto undertaken. There seem, indeed, to be no limits set to the expense. Large sums have been spent in improving the science and practice of gunnery within the last two or three years, against which no complaint can be made. It is neces sary for our protection. The progress has been so great that it is alleged they can always throw a ball within a space of 16 feet diameter, or about 8 feet from the centre of a target 3?„, miles distant. We have guns also which will carry four miles, and do execution, though not to batter down the walls of a fortification. If, however, they can kill the men at that distance, there will be no difficulty afterwards about the fortifications. When one considers that an object 1i foot in diameter is hardly visible in a clear sky at a mile distance, and that one 5i feet diameter, under the same circumstances, would be scarcely perceptible at W . , miles distance, he can estimate the wonderful precision and perfection to which the art of gunnery has been brought, to be able to plant shells by a point blank aim within a space of about three times that extent, at so great a distance, and to calculate their time of flight so accurately that they shall explode at the moment of their arrival. Shells are now gener ally used instead of shot, and the destructive effects, therefore, of cannon indefinitely increased. We under. , stand, too, that our powder is very much superior to the Russian. It is alleged to be one-third stronger. These are facts which, though they make one shudder at the consequences, are gratifying to English skill, and will, in all probability, be the means of shortening the war ; and it is necessary it should. For, if we have improved our guns and our skill in using them, the expense has snore than kept pace with both. In former years shot only was use d, and a 32-pounder cost about ss. It is, however, now found that shells are incomparably more efficient, and what is called a 321 b. shell, fitted with fusee and all complete, costs 205., and the charge of powder, with wads, 12s. more, or 325. for every 321 b shell fired. F or an 8-inch, or 321 b shell, the cost is 245., and with powder a nd wads, 38s. The g uns for the 321 b shell weigh about two tons, and cost about 401. The guns for the 681 b shells weigh from 3.1 to 4f tons, and cost from 651. to 951. From these few facts one may form to himself some idea of the costly game we have entered on, and, from its probable destructive effects, what the Czar's subjects "and others will owe to his ambition and madness.—Herapath's Journal. ARREST AND IMPRISONMENT OF DLITCII CAPTAINS. —A statement has appeared in some of the mording papers, to the effect that two or three commanders of Dutch vessels have been a rrested in London on a criminal charge in respect to the cargoes of their ships. On inquiry into the matter, we find that the facts of the case do not warrant so serious a charge. It ap pears that there are at present in Whitecross-street Prison two Duch captains under process for debt, on charges which involve suspicion as to the disposal of The parties laa t r h A: u n s ann d ed e e t hc a i i an n pa e t, d ailn a y r i e ng. pino p —Caint tuh a en cargoes of grain at Constantinople, take n i n a t G a l a t s . of fh R t y h k e e n l s , Countrye onf. the West South tp r h ie oe t c t k a j , of Amsterdam, lyi ng i n and they are charged with h av i ng taken advantage of India Docks ; the high freights which then prevailed, and o; shipping other cargoes for England: in violation of their charter party.

They state, that when at Constantinople, the grain was found to be damaged, and that wh a t th ey did was the best they could do under the circumstances. The cases will be brought before the Court of Euchequer, actions arising out of breached of charter-party having been commenced, when we hope that the circumstances under which the cargoes were disposed of at Constantinople will be found to justify the conduct of the parties implicated.—bhipping Ga zette. METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION. —Yesterday a special court was held at the principal office in Greek street for the transaction of ordinary business. The com missioners present were — the C hairman, Lieutenant- Colonel Dawson, and Messr s. Baker, Gibson, Smith, and Hawes. The secretary reported an available ba lance of 35,0001., to which, if there be added the amount of the deposit account, the total sum in hand will be 115,0001. Payments in respect of current rates were ordered, and amounted to 7,108/., thus leaving the actual balance about 108,000/. The monthly report on the state of the collections gave the following results : Total amount of rate, 225,000/. ; already reported a collected, 116 , 700 /. ; collected during the p as t month, 19,5001. ; remaining uncollected, 98,000/. Rates of 6d. in the pound were ordered to be advert ised in the Finsbury, Ranelagh, Richmond, and Baysw a t er sewer districts, and the estimates for these rates were received. MORE GOLD DISCOVERIES.--According to advisee just received, gold has at length been discovered in the only one of the Australian colonies in which it remained to be found. Letters from Fremantle, Western Australia, of the 25th of March state that surface specimens have been got within 15 miles of that place, yielding a gooi per centage of pure metal.

Webber, chairman of the board, presiding. Mr. SHERID AN, the manager, read the report of the directors, which was as follows : " The directors have much pleasure in meeting the shareholders of the company at this the Fifth Annual Ge neral Meeting. "The directors lay before the meeting a general balance sheet of the company's affairs, made up to the 30th day of April last, the period at which the financial year of the company terminates. " The following directors retire this year, but are eligible for re-election : — E. G. L. Perrott, Esq. ; James Reid, Esq. - Rev. T. E. Thoresby ; Alex. Webber, Esq. " The following auditors retire this year, and offer Owen selves for re - electio n :—Daniel Pratt, Esq. ; ~ hsq.

"The total number of policies completed and issued during the four preceding years, and the annual income therefrom, is as follows, viz. : Pols. issued. Ann. income.

" By reference to the foregoing figures it will be seen that in five years the company has issued 5,301 policies, yielding an annual income of 23,056/. 2s. " During the past year the directors have declined an unusually large amount of business, viz.:— No. of Policies. Aggregate amount. Ann. income. 370 £92,965 £2,168 13s. 10d. This amount is more than double the amount declined by the directors during the previous year. .-------- " LOSSES. " The total amount paid upon claims during the year it shown by the following figures, viz. : 21,250 0 0 Life Guarantee £2,514 0 9 " The directors abstain rom offering any remarks upon the small amount paid for claims, not only in the current year, but from the commencement of the company, for the reason that the valuation of the company's business has been commenced, and the report which will be made upon the completion of this labour, will contain all the remarks and information which are necessary for each shareholder to form an exact idea of the value of his investment in this undertaking. " The directors recommend that interest at the rate 01 5/. per cent. per annum be paid upon the paid-up capital of the company. " The register of directors' attendances is la id u p on the table." The CHAIRMAN said that, in the absence of their chair man and deputy-chairman, he had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report. He was happy t to see the document in the bands of almost every gentle. man present, and he hoped they would consider it of a nature to warrant him saying that it gave good proof of the success of the company, not only in the past year, but in every previous year of its exsstence ; and it was an earnest, moreover, of what they might expect in future years. It would be most gratifying to the directors to have an opportunity of meeting the shareholders with the same smiling faces which they now saw, and to be able to present them in every successive year with a statement as satisfactory as the one they had just heard read. On looking over the report, it would be observed that the number of proposals made to the company amounted every week to very nearly the number of weeks in the year, and though this, of course, did not show the amount of premiums received, yet, at the same time, when they came to consider that each of the poli cies which were issued from the office, and scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land, was an advertisement of the best and most telling kind, they might confidently look forward to an augmented num ber of policies year after year, and to their operations being attended by very considerable profit. (Hear.) Mr. A. PAULL had very much pleasure in seconding the motion. The report, which was a most lucid one, and touched on all the points with reference to which the shareholders looked for information, gave him pecu liar satisfaction, as he had at former meetings pre dicted the ultimate success of the company, and while congratulating the meeting on the fulfilme n t of his pro phecy, he cou ld not omit to say that their present fortu nate position was mainly owing to the exertions of their indefatigable manager. (Cheers.) The resolution having been carried, Mr. BROWN, in proposing the re-election of the retir ing directors, said he had made it his business, as a share holder, and nquire as to th . e relative merits of these gen tlemen, it was exceedingly gratifying to him, as he was sure it would be to his brother shareholders, to find that all of them were men who would do honour to this important company, not ont o by their character but by the zeal and industry which they brought to the ma nagement of its affairs. He was inclined to think that four more efficient directors could not possibly be elected. The election of directors in companies was too much looked upon as a matter of course, and the consequence wa s that many we re ill directed, while, if they had been properly managed, they would have been crowned with success. It required no great gift of mind to foretell that if a man und ertook a business for which he was unfit, th a t business w ould most ass u redly fail. This was often seen in private as well as in public life, but the same rule was not generally applied to each case. I No one would ever th ink of advancing 2,0001. or 3,0001. to an individual who was engaged in a business for which he was incomp etent, - but i n public companys men were not so cautious, and misdirection and failure, in place of good management and success, was the ine vitable result. It was, therefore, with no slight plea sure that he submitted to the meeting the names of the retiring directors. At the formation of the company they worked most arduously notwithstanding the presence of the cholera, which not only presented serious ob stacles to the establishment of young societies, but actually endangered their own iiTON, :or )ac (Mr. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.

FIELDS OF ICE IN TITS ATLANTIC.-A correspondent of the Dublin Evening Post, who was a passenger in the America steamer from Liverpool to Boston, gives the following account of the immense fields of ice encoun tered on the voyage :—" The America steamer left Liverpool on Saturday, the 13th instant, and arr:ved in m Boston on Friday, the 26th, making th e run i n l ess t h an 13 days. Although the weather was favourable, her rate of going was only about nine knots au hour during the first five days, from the power of the engines not being sufficient for her tonnage. At 11 o'clock a.m., on Saturday, the 20th, when in lat. 49.42, and long. 44.30, she sighted a mountain of ice, about five miles distant, and for the next 25 hours there was a deadly chill, as it may be said the ship was traversing an un known sea (in a hazy mist) studded with moving islands of ice, so many as five having been visible at one time. They were of various shapes and sizes, but may not in aptly be compared to large ha ricks after a s now-storm . . At noon, on Sunday, the 21st, y- lat. 47.44, long. 49,32, the ship ran close past an immense iceberg, which w aground on th e e d ge of the bank of Newfoundland there was a cave formed in the centre of it, and the sea and \ around uwaansticovoerede so farwithh ; and il floating sout ice.

THE MESMERIC INFIRMARY. AMALGAMATION OF THE GREAT WESTERN AND SHREWSBURY RAILWAY COMPANIES.—The committee of the House of Commons have decided in favour of the bill for the amalgamation of th e a Gnat Western, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, d the Shrews bury and Chester Railways. They have so derided, they state, such decision " being of a special character, and of great importance to the public inter est, inasmu ch as without such amalgamation it appears to the committee that the smaller companies cannot effectually carry out the traffic with their several districts, and that the result of such amalgamation will be improved ecotomy of manage ment, and greater facility of oommunbation to the pub lic at large." The Chester Courant expresses a hope that the shareholders will unanimouskt support this de cision at the meeting, pursuant to standing orders, which will be held in that city on tie 13th inst. The London and North-Western Railway Jompany threaten to renew their oppoition in the Bottle of Lorde.-- Liverpeo? Journal. The annual meeting of the friends and subscribers to this institution, established for the cure of diseases by the agency of mesmerism, was held yesterday, at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. Mr. R. Monckton Milnes, M.P., occupied the chair, and there was a numerous attendance of ladies and gen tlemen. The CHAIRMIN, on opening the business of the meet ing, remarked, that it was advisable and conducive to the interests of the institution, and beneficial generally to science, that the chair at these meetings should be taken by unprofessional persons. This course was so far satisfactory, because those unprofessional persons had arrived at results with respect to the utility of the institution, and the honesty of the manner in which it was conducted by different processes, which were not connected with private interests, or professional ad vancement. It was therefore, in his opinion, not unwise that the chair should be taken by persons who could have no interest in the matter, except for the pure love of science, and a strong conviction of the advan tages of the institution. The Mesmeric Infirmary had now been established some years—at first very modestly and in an obscure part of the town ; but it was now, he was happy to say, gradually rising into great imports ante. (Hear, hear.) An event had occurred in its his tory within the present year to which he would allude. A gentleman from the country, and unconnected with the institution, had performed an operation within its walls, with a success and peculiar perfection of effect, that had created, perhaps, more interest than the event itself deserved ; for it was almost a reproach to the ad vance of knowledge in our day that a highly successful and painless operation in surgery should be considered a rare and peculiar event. (Hear, hear.) Great import ance, however, attached to the operation (that of cutting off a woman's breast when in a mesmeric state), inas much as it was almost the first surgical operation that had been performed in the infirmary. The experience of every day showed that mesmeric science was capable of scientific proof—that it was no longer approached with mere wonder and astonishment, but rather with the same feelings of reverential gra- , titude with which we approached the great develop ments of a beneficent nature wielded by the will of a beneficent Creator. (Hear, hear.) The patients admitted to the infirmary were not treated as mere objects of curiosity upon which to try experiments, but their cases were treated purely in a medical point of view, with the application of mesmeric agency. He might, perhaps, be permitted to say that it would be well for the public to interest themselves more generally in mesmeric science, because it was more desirable for all to know that this great and wonderful engine of good or evil might be ef fectually understood, recognised, directed, and governed. If this agency were understood and used, and applied like other agencies, the institution would be relieved of a great difficulty, and the professors of the science of great annoyance. It was, in consequence of not under standing the science, that persons had recourse to mes merism only in desperate cases, and when all other re medies had failed. If persons only applied to mesmerism for cure, when their constitutions were exhausted by trying all other descriptions of remedy, it was not to be wondered at if, in some cases, it refused to perform its work. But if, on the other hand, it were regarded as a natural agent, a patient would no more think of apply ing to it as a last resource than he would think of apply ing to any other healing agencies. Notwithstanding the astonishing cures which it was admitted had been effect ed by means of mesmerism, it was impossible to deny that that hostility against its principles was still powerful ; that the opponents of science might yet get the upper hand; and that the good it effected might only be of a transient character. It had been said with truth, although it appeared a paradox, that all great discoveries had been known before they were in vented, which meant, in plainer terms, that the inventors of great discoveries had been induced to abandon them for want of public sympathy and confidence. Thus with chloroform and vaccination, the use of the compasses, and the art of printing—all had been discovered in earlier times, although the inventors never lived to see their discoveries fully recognised and admitted. It was therefore of the utmost importance that this matter should take a scientific form in the public opinion, for if Englishmen could once be induced to look upon it in this light it would not sink into obscurity, but would grow up until it took its place among the great agencies of nature. On the continent the science was progressing most favourably, and in Paris a most marvellous cure of a paralysed limb had been performed, the particulars of vhiah would §hortly be published in detail. The article which had appeared in the Quarterly Review was also a great advance towards an admission of the truth of mes merism. (Hear.) He believed also that Dr. Ellioteon was now bravely and gradually living down the injustice arid obloquy which his moral courage iu the cause of scientific truth had brought upon him ; and lie hoped they would live to see the day when that distinguished man would not only be placed in the highest position among his medical brethren, but that ho would be ac knowledged as the real founder of the practice of mes merism. (Applause.) Dr. ELLIOTSON, on coming forward to read the annual report of the committee of management, was loudly ap• plauded. The report, after alluding to the difficulty ex perienced by the committee in getting a house, and an nouncing that very desirable premises had at length been secured on lease, at 36, Weymouth-street, Portland • place, proceeded to state that they had appointed Mr. Gardiner to the office of Secretary. His unwearied attention to his duties, his undeviating kindness to the patients, his firmness in keeping all things in order, his mildness, conscientiousness, and disinterestedness were admirable. The progress which the knowledge and the conviction of the truth of mesmerism had made since the last meet ing was immense. They might say that its truth was universally admitted. The few who, for consistency, still pretended not to believe it, said but little, and their chief opposition was in ascribing the phenomena to ima gination, suggestion, and dominant ideas—passing over in silence, short-sightedly as well as dishonestly, the innumerable facts recorded, and occurring daily, in which there could be no imagination, no suggestion, no dominant ideas— passing over in silence the in numerable splendid mesmeric cures of all kinds of diseases, and the alleviation of distress and agony, as well as the prevention of pain from the knife, the cor roding caustics, and hot irons of the surgeon. As the folly of denying the truth of mesmerism might now be con sidered to have passed away, so would the absurd expla nations of its genuine effects ; and the wickedness—the wickedness of ignoring it in the medical journals and other medical writings, and in the lectures delivered in the medical schools, must soon be given up in very despair and shame. Since the last annual meeting we have had 27 donations and 25 new annual subscribers. Many of the new donors and subscribers are, like many of former years, inhabitants of distant parts of the coun try ; some inhabitants of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales ; and even a native physician at Milan had become a sub scriber. They have treated 237 patients during the last twelvemonth. There were 39 on hand at the beginning of it., 43 were on hand at present, and there had been 193 fresh patients ; 42 cases had been cured ; 9 were all but cured ; 64 improved to a greater or less extent ; 43 were still under treatment. Nearly all the rest of the patients attended but a short time, far too short for im provement to have been possible : some attended only two or three times ; some even only once. Mesmerism was conceived of by a large number of people as a magi cal remedy, curing at once if it does cure, and not worth being continuedbeyond a day or two, nor capable of doing good, unless sleep or some peculiar effect was produced ; whereas it often required long perseverance, and often simply cures without any other effect. It is to be remem bered that the greater number of patients came after other treatment had failed, and when other is not likely to succeed. A large number had been under several medi cal men, been in more medical institutions than one, and gone through long and not unfrequently severe treat ment in the way of strong and disgusting drugs and severe external applications, to which some of the medi cal profession had rather that their patients should be subjected, even with little or no chance of benefit, than be treated by a mild and easy, nay, agreeable method, with great probability of cure or alleviation. Besides cures striking for their rapidity or for their accomplish ment after ordinary measures long carried on, and per haps disagreeable or painful, had failed, the committee had witnessed in the infirmary a surgical operation which in ordinary circumstances was agonising, performed without the slightest pain, and recovered from as if no thing had been gone through. Mr. Tubbs, a surgeon in Cambridgeshire, one of our earliest and very liberal sub scribers, who for many years has practised mesmerism even to his own serious injury, and honestly published in the Zoist astonishing cures, wrote up to say that he was about to remove a female breast in the mesmeric state of insensibility to pain, and would perform the operation in the infirmary. The committee agreed to it—as so pub lie a proof of the power and utility of mesmerism in the metropolis, when no hospital surgeon had ever ope rated under mesmerism or employed it, seemed likely to produce a decided conviction in the minds of so ciety at lane, and through this conviction to improve the conduct of the medical profession. They availed themselves of Mr. Tubbs' courageous offer, and the ope ration was performed in the presence of those members of the committee who attend regularly to their duties, and of two medical gentlemen and an un professional_ v .er gentleman, who were not on the committee.
