At the Manchester Borough Court, on Friday, the 17th inst., b e f ore M r. Maude, stipendiary magistrate, M r . Benjamin Stre e t, of Worksworth, Grand Master of the Independent Order of Oddfellews of the Manchester Unity, was summoned to appear at the suit of J. Palmer, formerly a member of the St. Olave Lodge, London die triot, to show cause why the plaintiff was expelled from the ledge to which he formerly belonged, under a reso lution of the general board of directors of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society. The defendant objected to the jurisdiction of the magistrate, as the laws of the St. Olave's Lodge and those of the London distriot, as well as those of the Manchester Unity, were reg i stered nudes the Friendly Societies Act, and that the board of dire!). tors, which he represented, were appointed in conformity with the 22d section of the act, both in the lodge, dis trict, and general laws, final arbitrators in cases of dis pute between any of the members or lodges of the Man. cheater Unity. The magistrate, after a lengthy and careful investigation, dismissed the case, observing that his jurisdiction only extended to those societies which had not pointed out iu their own rules the manner in which their disputes should be settled, or in cases where these provisions had not been complied with. It ap peared that the plaintiff had availed himself of the various courts of appeal and arbitration which the laws of the society to which he belonged legally recognised, and must consequently abide by the adjudication of the directors, as the final court of appeal. This decision is moat irnprtant to the members of affiliated bodies of the friendly society class, inasmuch as mauy branches have declined to avail themselves of the protection accorded by the Ft ieudly Societies Act, under an impression that the clauses inserted purposely for the object of securing the power of self-government and the settlement of their disputes within themselves would prove aldelusion when reduced to practice. This decision must have a salutary effect amongst the numerous lodges and districts yd unenrolled. THE SUBMAN TBSTIMONIAL. WANTED.

The present time seems to be peculiarly saitable for the establish. ment of the proposed Lin of Railway. The works upon the Inver ness and Nairn line nave been commenced, and the contractors un dertake that the line shall be open for traffic by the Ist of August next. On the other hard, the chain of Railway communication on the south is complete as tar as the town of Huntly, and measures are understood to be in progress for extending the line northward f om In these circumstances, it has been thought desirable to a,ply to Parliament, in the ensuing session for the Incorporation of a Com pany for making a Railway from Nairn. to Elgin, which shall com plete the communication between Inverness and Elgin. The com pany will thus be in a position to commence the necessary works next summer, and the-eby, with the least possible delay, to place the fair and ancient province of Moray on such a footing, with regard to Railway communication, that the laying down of an ironway throughout its whole extent, from the Beauly to the Spey, and un interrupted connection with the Southern markets mast immediately With this view, applications have been made to all the principal proprie:ors along the line, who have, without exception, declared themselves favourable to the enterprise, and ready o afford facilities for its construction. The plans have been finisher, minute estimates of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and examined by contractors of the highest respectability ; and the pro moters have no doubt that the works will be undertaken by them for a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock. Prelhninary expenses, and all other charges necessary for the com pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed e 00,0001., or B ' oool - a mile. including bridges over the Nairn Findhorn, and .ossie. For this sum the Comp y an will be In possession of a single line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient rT elXi ng — and with bridges built and land pure raced f4' a double e. And the promoters are in a position to state, that the contrac t_ rs with whom they have been in commun ication will be prepared to tak e payment of one•third of the cost of the works in stock. The Engineering Works—from the level nature of the country, and the light gravelly roll over which the line for the most part Passes —are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed Within the specified time. B esides the large local traffic arising from the line passing through e centre of the richly cultivated and populo is cotiniy of ,'oray. this Railway, when connected with the Great No , th or Scot and Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great through communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south. From the character of the country the line can mver be exposed to railway competition. Through Le Inverness and !Cairn Railway—with the directors of Which the promoters of this undertaking are in cordial ce-operation —the line will b e enabled to communicate with the Caledmian Canal at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large and rapidly-increasi ng t ra ffi c f l ow l, ig along that great artery of corn _ xa t n to a' d from the.counties of Banff, Mo-ay, and Nairn. 'ts ether e x t rem i ty, the line will communicate with V-e Elgin and !os siemouth Railway, end the port of Lossiemouth. Besides these, the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn, Findhorn, and 11urchead. Careful observations of the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a Railvray from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply Sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealth and traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still rapidly increasing. Taking the basis of the observations of 1645, the result will be as fellows : Estimated amount of local revenue £21,000 0 0 Dedact 40 per cent. for working expenses 8,400 0 0 X 12,600 0 0 Of interest on 10,0001, borrowed Leaving • . . . For division, on a called-up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7 Per cent. immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer tainty of a large eventual increase. The undertaking, therein e, presents these reculiar advantages:- 1. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from the passing of the act. 2. It will cost only 8,000/. a mile, for a single line, while the average cost of railways in Scotland, with a double line o. rails, has been 30,000/. a mile. S. While the average return per mile per annum, in Scotland, has been 2,0007., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on this line, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent. 4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole through railway traffic pass ng northward of Elgin from Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western and Northern Highlands. 5. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers, whereby the facilities of transit will be on the one hand greatly increased, while on the other hand the working ex penses will be greatly economised. 6. Lines of this character, constructed at a moderate cost, in the north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in stanced in the Lossiemouth and Deeside Railways, recently opened—both of which have returned di v id ends of 5 per cent. on the first year's traffic. 7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and In evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer cial enterprise.

Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothocarios' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object 01 this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, Irregularities, and excesses, which have proauced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, haw these penalties bay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, sad how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, teat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The A uthor has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have unfortunately been too gener all y confided to the car e of ignorant empirie,s, who inflict great in j ur y on those who are induced to place I tith in their pretensions.

In the present momentous position of the Company's affairs, the Board .if Directors consider it their duty to address the Shareholders, and, if possible, to arouse them to a sense of their actnal interests. At the General Meeting held yesterday, a combinati in of parties was seen, whose objects were as diverse as the means by which they will be prepared to carry them out. One patty, represented by r. Raikes Currie, desires to sell your ships, and wind uiithe affairs of the C mpsny. A second party has not expressed this object, but it has, by every means within reach, endeavoured to gain a power which would enable the leaders to manage your affairs,—an office for which the Board believe them utterly unfitted. _ - On the Chairman's motion yesterday, " That the report and accounts now presented to this meeting be received and adopted, and that a dividend at the rate of bl. per cent. per annum be paid to the Shareholders for the last half-year, free of income tax, the dividend to be payable on and after the 3 Ali inst.," Mr. Raikes Currie proposed the following amendment— " That thi , report be not adopted." Mr. Hutton, whose circulars it may be presumed every share haler has received, seconded that amendment, and he attempted an elaborate analysis a, the accounts then before the meeting. His statements proved, without cent'oversy, too things :—First, that he is entirely ignorant of the nature of mercantile accounts ; and second, that he had been grossly imposed upon. To many of his allegations a direct and positive contradiction was given, and in re lation to the accounts which he had criticised, full and sufficient ex planations Were afforded either by the Stipendiary Auditor or the Chairman. . _ _ The eminent accountant, Mr. Co'eman, who IS also a shareholder, spoke to the substantial correctness of the accounts, though he ob jected to the form. Mr. Hutton was supported by a Shareholder, who is stated to be the accountant of a late Director, and who has published a state ment which the Board does not hesitate to describe a- , a gross per version of figures. Mr. T. A. Hankey spoke to tha Recounts, and he proposed as a further sunendment that they should be referred to some two emi nent accountants. Gentlemen —ro Mr. Hankey's proposition. just and reasonable In Well, the Chairman for himself and the , est of the Directors instantly assented. Ho :Jed they would willing'Y adopt tnat cuur4e. And why ? Because accounts tightly kept, and rightly vouched, %rill bear any examination, provided that examination be condscted in an honest spirit for a prtper end. Atter divcu , si ,n, Mr. Raikes Currie exereSsed a wish to withdraw his amendment, that that of Mr. Hankey might be put, and Mr. Hutton and his friends reiused him what he sough • Well, gentlemen, the report was to be rejected , --the 130 srd wore to be treated with contumely—you we , e t• be refused a dividend, I,)e -cause the accounts were alleged to be incorrect; and the proposition to have them examined by dispassionate and competent persons le refused all consideration. Do you require a stronger proof that a faction is attempting to sacrifice Tour interests to its own desire of power ? The amendment of Mr. Raikes Carrie was finally carried by a cf hands, and She shareholders, opposed to that resolution, de manded a begot. The meeting then adjoorned to the hour of noon on the 22d inst., at the London Tavern, when the result of the bal'ot will be declared, and the business proceeded with. When the meeting re assemble:, if Mr. Ilankey should nit -dhere to ha intention of moving a resulution as to the accounts, the Chairman, on behalf of the Board, is prepaid to move that they shall be submitted to the examination of one or more eminent accountants. In a eco t i e n lnt, whatever may be its p u o c r t t o t f h e t b ß e o apT, patty y el , t y se o l itself , o o h s ! e g d ed to to speak with icy reserve; but iplain nterests. influence on the Company's htscht The question of a Dividend is entirely for your decision. However the accounts may be dealt with—whatever may be the value put on the several assets, this at least is a fact which Is not to be disproved. that during the first six months of this year a net profit of 34,9961. 19s. 4d was realised, and the assets were increased by the sum of .57.642/. 3s. 6d. During the six months now current the profit derived from the employment of your ships has been very large; that must continue for come tiine longer, for they are chartered for periods which do not expire without notice ; and the Il and have littlo doubt that each of your ships, as she returns from Australia, will be cldirtered. Nearly five months of the half year have expir , d, and thererore it is not bold to state that your gains during the present half-year, in clusive of that on the sale of the Prince, will be, it is estimated, from nqiety to one hundred thousand pounds from the 6'overnment alone. The Company's gross receipts, inclusive of the charter of the Indiana, are 28,741/. per month, the Government The argument which th e B oard wish to present to these share holders who seek to sell th e C ompany's property forthwith is this — that the advantages d er i ve d from the present employment of the slips are much in excess o f any reasonable depreciation, whether it nt arise from the deteriorati on of property, or depression in the de mand for steamers, or f rom b oth. providing fuel Gentlemen, the Board repeat that at the proper time the Directors would Oa tly, with your permission, sell a part or the whole of your fleet. It you r-fuse them our confidence, end restrict their discre !ion, insisting on an immediate sale, or within a limited period. you wi 1, without a doubt, inflict on yourselves a heavy and disastrous loss. At the general meeti ng th e directors affirmed, through the Chair man, that they are pr epared to resign their places to any gentlemen who are independent of the baneful influences which have so long been at work ; but th e y are equally resolved by every means which can be legally and ho nourably used, to resist the objects of the fac tious movement, whi c h th ey have not hesitated to denounce. The Board earnestly urge you to look to your proper interests. To evade that pro v i s i on of your deed which limits the numb r of votes in proportion to th e increase of stock, shares have been trans ferred for a nominal onslieration to persons (clerks and ~them) by whose means greater power may be exerted at your meetings. Such expedients may be pursued to a greater extent. the warning is given, and it is 11 ,r you to profit by it. Confident in the integrity of their conduct, in their earnest desire BYeeting.— to preserve the int erests committed to their hands, and in the cor rectness of their poli cy, the di, ectors ask your support at the ballot about to be taken, an d at the adjourni.d m of the Board.

Surgeon James Niven, M.D. (1850), to the Esk, 20, screw steam-corvette, at Woolwich. TRANSPORT SERVICE. The 'Robert Lime, No. 134, screw steam-transport ship, having taken on board 13 cylinders, each filled with I,ooolb of powder, at Woolwich, was taken in tow yesterday by the Widgeon steam-vessel to Greenkithe, where she will have her compasses adjusted to-day, and then proceed to Portsmouth, to embark troops for the Crimea. The Robert Lowe also takes a large supply of the munitions of war to be landed at Balaklava. The Holyrood, No. 77, screw steam-transport, has arrived at Woolwich, to take on board a supply of shot, shell, etc. for the seat of war in the East. THE SINBAD. The Sinbad, mortar vessel, is now in an advanced state in the east dock at Woolwich. The mortar bed in the bottom of the vessel has been completed, and is very strong, and the planks, or entire base timber, being 14 inches thick, and into which is inserted a centre pivot of solid iron six inches in diameter, and twelve other pivots each two inches in diameter. Four of these pivots are near to the centre pivot, and the other eight pivots are placed one on each of the eight sides of the bed, which is in the form of an octagon. The whole of the pivots are strongly secured in brass. The upper bed on which the mortar, 13 inches in diameter of bore, is intended to rest is 11 inches in thickness, and is fitted underneath with corresponding strong brass for receiving the pivots fixed to the lower bed, and between the brass below and the brass above India•rubber bedding three inches in thickness has been placed round each pivot to act as an elastic body, and yield in some degree to the recoil or concussion when the mortar is fired. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE AT MALTA. Intelligence has reached Southampton that the steamer Prince, which took out a regiment of British soldiers to the Crimea, and the voltaic battery which is to be used in blowing up the sunken Russian skips at the entrance of Sebastopol harbour, had arrived safety at Malta. SALE OF A RUSSIAN PRIZE. Yesterday Mr. Lochlona, the Admiralty broker, at tended at Lloyd's to submit the Russian prize Dwina to public competition. The vessel was captured by her Majesty's ship Miranda, Capt. Lyons, off Lapland, dur ing the prosecution of the White Sea blockade, oa the 29th of August last. Her cargo was salt fish, which merely produced a nominal price. The first offer for the Dwina, described as a schooner of 100 tons burden, was 1501. A spirited competition hereupon ensued, which ended in the vessel being sold for 4401. THE 46TH REGIMENT. A letter from Dr. Vaughan Hughes, of the Prince transport, which took out the 46th Regiment, says : " The Prince experienced a heavy gale in the Bay of Biscay, and another in the Levant, which obliged her to anchor in the Bay of Carysto, in the south of Negro pont, from the 31st ult, to the 31 inst. She arrived at Constantinople on the sth at 7 a.m. On the previous day," says the letter, " Colonel Garrett presented on deck to his regiment (the 46th) the new colours which are to replace the oh!, these having lasted a period of 18 years, and now quite in rags and covered with mil dew. He delivered a very affecting address, which was received by officers and inen with tremendous cheering," ACCOUNTS FROM THE CRIMEA. We have been ftvoured with an extract from the letter of a medical officer on board the Queen of the South, which sailed from Portsmouth fur the Crimea, on the 27th ult., having on board draughts for various regiments, and, among others, for the Guards, under the command of Lord Adolphus Vane, M.P., Mr. Ponsonby, M.P., and other officers. The letter states that the Queen of the South arrived at Malta on the 9th instant —all well. We are sorry to learn, by accounts from the Crimea, that Major Nasmyth (of Silistria renown) is ill, and unable to attend the duties of his new appointment— aide•de-camp to Sir John Burgoyne. Sir De Lacy Evans was on board the Simoem, laid up from diarrhoea and the effects of a fall from his horse. The three wounded captains of the 17th Lancers, Norris, White, and Webb, have arrived at the hospital at Scutari. Captain Webb had his leg amputated. Sir William Gordon, of the 17th, had also arrived, as well as Capt. Mande, of the Royal Artillery ; Captains Elmsall and Campbell, and Cornet Hartopp, of the Royal Dragoons ; Captain Brown, of the 44th ; Cornet the Hon. G. Ne ville, of the sth Dragoon Guards ; Lieutenant Clutter buck, of the Bth, and Lieutenants Trevelyan and Hough ton, of the 11th Hussars. Lieutenant Houghton was bet slightly wounded. Brevet Major Coats, 55th, and Vandeleur Breedon, Byrne, and Marten, had also ar rived sick. DEPARTURE OF STEAMERS FOR TOULON. The Oriental Company's steamer Ripon left South ampton yesterday morning for Toulon to take French troops to Sebastopol. The Esk left the same pert in the course of the day for Portsmouth and the Crimea, with forage and biscuit. Within six days six steamers have been despatched from Southampton for the pur pose-of carrying troops, provisions, and ammunition to the Allied forces at Balaklava, viz., the Manilla, Candia, Rajah, Thames, Ripon, and the Esk. Some of these ships have been despatched at two or three days' notice. So urgent was it for the steamers to leave for Toulon that tie Oriental Company's steamer the Candia could not wait for some of her stores, and had to take those on board the West India Company's steamer Thames, be cause the latter was not ready to start for a day afterwards. All the steamers which have left Southampton for Toulon have had stalls fitted up on board of them for 10 or 12 horses. It is jexpected that the Indus which left Southampton for Alexandria with a mail, on the 4th inst., will be stopped at Malta, and made to carry on a regiment of English soldiers to the Black Sea. Per emptory orders were received at Southampton for the Esk to start immediately for Clarence-yard to take out about seventy tons of hay and a large quantity of bis cuit. A private letter has been received at Southampton from the seat of war, which states that reinforcements are much wanted there on account of the hard work to which every fighting man is subjected in labouring in the trenches. The Indiana, which is now about to start for Toulon, has been fitted up according to a plan designed by Mr. Croskey, the American consul, for the conveyance of a large number of passengers to America. This plan is found well adapted to convey a very large number of troops. The English mail packets, it is ex pected, will each make a couple of trips from Toulon to Balaklava with French soldiers. We are gratified to be able to state that there is no truth in the report circulated by a cotemporary that Major DeSalis, Bth Husars, was seriously wounded at the battle of Balaklava. Major DeSalis's horse was seriously hurt, but he escaped uninjured. THS WAR AND THE RECRUITING SERVIOS.—Never, during the last sixteen years, has recruiting been so active in Leeds as at the present time. We have now in Leeds recruiting parties from various regiments of horse, foot, artillery, and two regiments of militia, viz., the 2d and 3d West York. As soon as hostilities actu ally commenced, there was a visible increase iu the number of recruits ; and this increase has become greater week by week. Since the invasion of the Crimea the war spirit amongst the young men of the district has been roused to an unprecedented height ; and it is quite surprising to witness the large number of recruits that are daily attested before the sitting magistrates at the court-house. CORK CITY MILITIA.—On Wednesday there was con siderable activity in town, enrolling volunteers for the Cork City Militia, and a large number was admitted. The bounty is 61. per man. Readevous have been estab lished at Castle-street, Geerge's-street, and other parts of the city, and it is confidently expected that a con siderable further number of volunteers will in the course of the next few days be added.—Cork Constitution. SECOND SOMERSET MILITIA.—This regiment is form ing an efficient band, the men in which are to receive a pay of 2s. per day each. Several have been already engaged. On Saturday last they mounted guard and did garrison duty for the time under Lieut. De la iiooke.— Cork Constitution. MA.YO MILITIA..—We understand that Mr. Augustus Samuel Bolton, late captain and adjutant of the 31st Regiment, and Mr. okson Butcher, late 12th J cot,lave been respectively appeiOeti by the Lords We understand that three gentlemen had an interview with Sir William Molesworth, at his office in Whitehall place, on Friday, and submitted to the right lion. baro net some ground plans and elevations fur new public offices in Downing-street, on a very extensive scale, and which wbile affording to the officials that accommo3a non of which they stand so greatly iu need, would be a striking ornament to the metropolis. The idea is to erect a W.oelt of buildings, with a facade to \Yhiteball, of which the buildings now occupied by the Council Office and Board of rrade should form one wing, with another similar wing extending down King street, and joined by a very handsome centre of great elevation, with a magnificent entrance archway, and giving a frontage of nearly 700 feet in length towards Whitehall. It is then proposed to carry the building (on the side next the Horse Guards) at a right angle, into the park, with a front extending 400 feet, likewise baying a handsome centre and archway, then carrying down another centre i n th e park, looking westward, to, and parallel with. the proposed one in White hall ; with a fourth fro n t, also at right angles, in Chares-street, similar to the north one in the park. Thus forming an oblong mass of buildings with four faccades of great beauty, affording an enormous amount of public convenience. Is in these times of war the Government or the country might not be disposed to embark in a scheme involving an outlay of more than half-a-million of money, the (gentlemen who submitted the plans to Sir William Moiesworth, offered to construct the buildings on the grant of an annuity of 32,0001. for fifty years. The Government are, it is asserted, now paying near 25,0001. a year, for rent and repairs, for disconnected buildings, ill adapted for this purpose ; so that should this proposal be accepted, at the end of fifty years the Government would be in possession of beautiful and commodious offices by the additional payment of about 7,0001. a year ; whilst at the end of that time the great annual outlay of 25,0001. will cease altogether. Sic William received the gentlemen with the greatest courtesy, thanked them for showing him the plans, and appeared to be much struck with the beauty and extent of the design. He doubted whether the ground required could be purchased at what they had estimated it, and informed them that plans were already being prepared by the Government architect, but of a much less exten sive kind. Means will be taken forthwith to enable the public; to form their •wn opinion of the merit of the designs sub mitted to Sir William Molesworth. OLASGOW UNIVERSITY. GLASGOW, WZDNESDAT. The election of Lord Rector of Glasgow University took place this day, the retiring rector being the Earl of Eglinton. Three candidates were proposed, ♦iz., Mr. Disraeli, M.P., by the Conservatives, Mr. Thomas Carlyle by the Liberals, and the Duke of Argyll by the Presbyterian section of both parties. The contest was conducted with the usual keenness, the turmoil being confined to the boys and lads in the college. Mr. Car lyle was withdrawn at a late hour, when the students went to the vote on the two other candidates, and the result was that the Duke of Argyll was elected by a majority in all the nations. The state of the vote was as follows : Argyll. Disraeli. Natio Glottiana . Londoniana Transfostbana Rothseyana A. protest was taken against the validity of the Duke's election, on the ground that his Grace is Chancellor of the University of St. Andrew's, and that it is therefore illegal to hold offices in two colleges. The office of Lord Rector is almost a nominal one. - Upon installation he delivers an address, and no more is heard of him. Under present circumstances, it may he found that a member of the Cabinet has something else to occupy his time than that of preparing an essay for the GlaQgow students. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND TILE MORNING ADVERTISER. A special general meeting of the Incorporated Society of Licensed Victuallers wa- held at the London Tavern yesterday, at three o'clock, for the purpose of coming to a final decision as to the management and editorship of that paper. It was by far the large,t meeting of the kind that bad ever assembled, being limited to members of that society. A f,:ul has existed amongst the licensed victuallers for the last three mouths, arfiing out of the Sale of Beer Bill, which passed in the last session. That bill, by limiting the hours of public-hou , e trading on Sunday, curtails the profits of the suburban publicans. There persons became very discontented, and compla'ned that the Morning Advertiser had not fought their battle with zeal and energy ; and they passed, in September, at the usual quarterly meeting, a vote of censure on the manag ing committee of the paper. Not willing to remain under this stigma, the committee convened a special meeting yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the following re solutions, which were avowedly intended to nullify the effect of the resolution adopted at the last quarterly meeting : "That this court, finding that erroneous impressions have been made upon the public mind that most important changes in the committee and in the editorial management of the Morning Advertiser have been effected by its pro prietary, hereby declare that no such changes have taken place ; and it is further of opinion, that any change in the politicll or general principles advocated by that jour , nal would be injurious to its best interests. " That this court, therefore, pledges itself by every means in its power, to assist the editor and committee to increase the circulation of the Morning Advertiser, and with that view would specially recommend that the editor be instructed and empowered to add to the staff supplying literary talent, and commercial intelligence." These resolutions were met by an amendment, pro posed by the leader of the malcontent party, to the effect,— " That a change be made in the editorial department of the Morniv Advertiser, and that some gentleman of high literary talent be appointed to succeed the present editor, •n the termination of his existing engagement." This brought the vote to a distinct "aye" or "no" on the single question of dismissing the editor. And after *early four hours discussion, the ♦ote was taken, when there appeared : FOr . the original resolutions For the amendment, to dismiss the editor 212 Majority --305 So ends, we suppose, this quarrel. The chief point on which the public can feel any interest is this : The meeting of yesterday consisted entirely of pub licans, 729 in number, brought together from all parts of the metropolis. This ground of quarrel was the new Sale of Beer Bill. This was the crime charged against the editor, that ho bad not opposed the bill. All who really disliked that bill, or nearly all, were arrayed against hint. Yet, when the vote was taken, they num bered only 212 out of the whole 729. The conclusion is inevitable ; the Sale of Beer Bill is not so unpopular, even with the publicans themselves, as some people have attempted to represent it to be. THE MORNING ADVERTISER. Our readers will find in another part of our paper, a report of the proceedings at , the great meeting of the Proprietors of the Morning Advertiser, held at the Lon don Tavern yesterday. It will will be observed, that there were from 700 to 800 persons present, being by far the largest meeting of the proprietors ever held since the establishment of the paper, upwards of sixty years ago. We do not point, in terms of exultation, to the result of the division, which affirmed, by a majority of 517 to 212, that no changes have taken place in the Committee of Management or in the Editorial department of this journal, and that 116 e paper will continue to be conducted on the same political and general principles as before, —though it may well be supposed bow great is the gratification with which we regard that result. Never, we venture to say, in the records of journalism, has a more resolute battle been fought for the Freedom of the Press than the one which has been carried on in the persons of the al Committee of Management and Editor of this journal , without without one moment's intermission, during t months. Should the history of that s trugg t le i h n e e t v a e r r ea c t o i m ag e to be written , it will form one of the moe Press. We chapters in the annals of the Newspape r seo assuring our only refer to the fact for the puirpo.4dvertiser remains readers, that so long under its present management , astheMdn conducted on those thoroughlyinde pendent high rank and pros perouswhich have raised it to its prese n t h n it n will principles t o b e by th ose merit of the numbers, on the position. division, tt hwasich the received, anno announce ment n by ot a o n n e ly n t l h o u u s d ia a s e m d which ng n-il n pr o tracted,ever but be were ch aracterised forgotten who heard them.—Mo, nog Advertiser.

Sir,—Mrs. Newton, resid ing in Hanover-street, in this town, was afflicted with asthma for many years, a difficulty of breathing, and a violent cough, causing acute pains in her side, more par ticularly so when she took cold.

Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Professor Holloway's establishments, 244, Strand, Labia, and 80, Maiden-lane, Now York. We obser►e that the approaching meeting of the Lon. don Sacred Harmonic Society is to be distinguished by the presentation of a testimonial to Mr. Surinam, the gentleman who has been the conductor, to the 'moiety from its oommencement, and who fed many years was the conductor of a kindred society, whose co mm i s are also held in Exeter-hall. Mr. Surman deserves well from the admirers of sacred music, for Vie ability -f or bad, he has uniformly displayed in the selection of hie •ab. jects, and his control of the large masses, whose ezeel. lent training and efficient performance have been there. sults of his skill in teaching, and his power as a leader of these ma:Wm performances. Sine* this gentleman commenced his labours as the conductor of the Sacred Harmonic Society, great progress has been made in diffusing a taste for sacred music in the metre , . polis and throughout the country ; and we believe an one who is acquainted with the history of the musical world in this metropolis for the last twenty years, needs to be told of the large share gr. Surman has had in the great progress which musical science has made. The concerts of this gentleman in Exeter-Hall, in point of time, took the lead in the successful efforts to procure for the public a superior class of music on terms within their reach ; and among those who have laboured with honour and success in this field, there is no one who has stronger claims on the public gratitude than the veteran to whom the London Sacred Harmonic Society, aided. by all the friends of harmony and social progress, ha about to do honour on the forthcoming occasion, on Monday next, the 20th inst.—Morning Advertiser. COWES, ISL 3 OF WIGHT.-6-Nai. 11. Taoors ion THE 11... ST.—Detachments from the itth, 20th, 26th, aed 28th Regiments embarked from Cowes this morning, amounting to about 250 rank and tie. Recruits are arriving daily, and sometimes two or three times a day, in parties of 12, 20, or 30, and proceed OR to Parkhurst Barracks. They appear all young men, very few of them being above 20 years of age. RINGING THE CEANGES.—SeveraI of our grocers have been taken in this week by some travelling cheese dealers. Some of them (rather keen hands, too) have bought large quantities of what they took for very superior cheeses, but which have proved to be only skin. Died, on the 13th inst., Frederick Rowten, Esq., of London, one of the directors of the National Freehold Land Society. His death will be a serious loss to tlte society, as he was a gentleman of great energy, 04111$y, and perseverance. MUNIFICENT BEQUESTS.

A FALSE ALARM.—An alarm was given on Monday night by the unexpected tolling of the large bell at half past eight o'clock, and it was conjectured that Sebasto pol had at length been taken by the Allies. All anxiety, however, was soon set at rest when it was discovered that a boy from the High-street, who had been leading his assistance in ringing the bell at the usual how (eight o'clock), had been shut in, and net relishing his cold and lonely quarters, be had by dint of great exertion managed to set the bell tolling, and thus brought tks bells an to his rescue.—Brechias Advertiser. - SERGEANT SIILLIVAIL—Sergeset Sullivan, who is so honourably mentioned in Lord Raglan's despatch, ie the first man below the rank of ensign nor anti one 4 in a public despatch of a British Gootal. _ I -1 I Timo
