Ace., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearthl con which uece , resu lting from certain habits, Irregularities and exc h have produced more misery In Youth, degradation in e M ss a e n g' hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any o ther class of disease known to modern pathologists Its pe r u sa l i s particularly recommended to persons entertaining s ecre t 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 alwilutely necessary that all 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, how these penalties may be mitigated, how th e sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and aove all, that there is scarcely any d e g ree of physical infirmity or functional terangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which are unfortunately teen too generally confided to the care of ignorant emoirics, who Inflict great injury On those who are induced to place faith in ~heir pretensions.

EXPLOSION OF GAS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. — Yesterday afternoon, about five minutes past 4 o'clock, while the House of Commons was engaged with the pri vate bills, the members were suddenly startled by a report like that from the discharge of a small cannon— a flash of flame, and the breaking of glass. It was some s s i p d o e t d w . u e r m e b t e h r e s e o x f p the i members e d time before the commotion caused by the incident sub dhavings t r r u e s p h e e a d t e o, amidc r t i h e the of " order" from the Speaker. It appeared that it was the result of an accumulation of gas in one of the burners under the left gallery, which by some means ignited. The new windows were thrown open immediately toclear the house of the strong smell of gas which pervaded it, and the business was proceeded with.

THE WAR. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Captain Peter Richards, C.B. is selected to fill the vacant seat at the Board o f Admiralty, taking prece dence of Captain Milne. Letters for the fleet in the Black Sea will be forwarded by the Harpy steam-vessel to-day, from Portsmouth. The letters must be marked, "By the Harpy." Yesterday notices were publicly given on the Royal Exchange from the Admiralty, that within 20 days from that date the Russian barque Johanna, Captain Uld strom, would be condemned as a lawful prize to her Majesty's steamer Bulldog. We learn from Plymouth, by electric telegraph, that her Majesty's steamship Algiers, 91, Captain the Hon. Charles Talbot, made a trial trip of her engines yester day. She left Hamoaze at half-past 7. steamed down against a strong wind and tide, and went to sea immedi ately. At 12 she returned, and, after making some evolu tions inside the break water, went to sea again by the eastern channel. At half past 2 she came back to the Sound, and steamed in good style to her moorings in Hainoaze. Her engines and machinery appeared to answer excel lently well. She is 300 hands short of her complement. The Hermes, 6, steam-sloop, Captain Fishbourne, arrived yesterday evening at Spithead from China and the Cape of Good Hope. Her news has been anticipated by overland and steam mails. Her craw will be made available for the war service. The Rhadamanthus paddle-wheel steam store-vessel, Master Commander John Belam, took on board in the basin at Wonlwich, for conveyance toYortsmouth, new boilers for the Centaur, and the remainder of the ma chinery for the Colossus, 80, screwAteam-ship, fitting at that port. The boilers of the Royal., Albert were put on board the Beaver steam-vessel, arAphe was towed to 'Sheerness by the Rhadamanthns. Th Rhadamanthus will leave to-morrow, and is - under orders to return to Woolwich within a week to take round the machinery of the Harrier, screw steam-sloop, and the Curagoa, 30, steam-frigate, built at Pembroke. The boilers brought down by the Rhadamanthus were afterwards put on board the Royal Albert at Sheerness. A new spare screw propeller, weighing 6 tons 12 cwt. 3 qrs. 241 b., has arrived at Sheerness for the Euryalus, 51, steamship, now serving in the Baltic. It will be sent out in the steam transport Holyrood. The Curlew, 8, screw steam-sloop, was launched on Wednesday at Deptford, from the slip on which she was commenced about 18 months ago. Her dimensions are as follows : Ft. Length between the perpendiculars Length of the keel for tonnage Breadth extreme Breadth for tonnage Breadth moulded Depth in hold Burden in tons, 311.04. Her engines are of 50-horse power. The Curlew is to be taken to Woolwich to be fitted with her engines in the basin adjoining the factory. The following appointments have been made : Master George L.. Bradley (1848), recently master commander of the Crescent, 42, receiving ship at Rio de Janeiro, to be master in command of the Industry steam-vessel, purchased to serve as a steam store ship. Assistant-Surgeon Charles G. Wolfendan (1851), re cently serving as acting assistant-surgeon in the Fox, 42, on the East India station, to the Hannibal, 91, screw steam-ship, at Chatham. Acting Assistant-Surgeon Seth Lane (1854), to the Britannia, 120, in the Black Sea. Clerk Edward 0. Hayes (1849), to the Prince Regent, 91, screw steam-ship, with the Baltic fleet. Clerk's-Assistant Derisley Martin, to the Meander, 44, at Devonport. Assistant-Engineers of the third class Thomas Dine ley, Joseph Rothesy, James M'lntyre, and Owen Ash Davies, have been appointed to the fleet. Acting Gunner James Fullerton to the Minx steam vessel at Woolwich. The following rewards and promotions have taken place in the civil departments in the dockyards : Mr. Harding, foreman of shipwrights at Woolwich Dockyard, has received the annual gratuity of 501. for that yard. Mr. Cheeseman, foreman of shipwrights, the annual gratuity of 501. for Chatham Dockyard. Mr. Carter, measurer at Chatham Dockyard, is pro moted to be foreman at Portsmouth Dockyard ; and Mr. Hamden is promoted to be measurer, vice Carter. Mr. Siburn, inspector of the second class at Chatham, is promoted to be inspector of the first class. The, galley's crew of Rear-Admiral Martin, Superin tendent of Portsmouth Dockyard, and picked men of the crew of the Royal yacht, left Portsmouth at an early hour yesterday morning for Ham, to carry to the grave the remains of the late Vice• Admiral Hyde Parker, C.B. These men, with the exception of the two from the yacht were, we believe, the late Admiral's boat's crew during his last commission afloat, when his flag flew on board the St. Vincent, 120, in Portsmouth harbour. The Lords of the Admiralty yesterday gave notice at Lloyd's that a ship of from 500 to 600 tons was required to convey part of a regiment from Cork to Melbourne, New South Wales, and afterwards call at Ceylon, to bring home part of another regiment to this country. Advices were received yesterday at the Admiralty, uuder date Gibraltar, May the 29th, anno uncing that the Parainatta, Cornw a ll, A nn Blake, and three other Government transports, and a frigate had arrived, and sailed to the East, with troops and stores. The Lord Raglan transport, No. 93, embarked at the Plymouth Dockyard yesterday a Major, Captain, Lieu tenant, and Cornet, an infantry surgeon, and two troops of the 6th Enniskillens, with 72 horses, f or service in the East. The embarkatio n commenced at 10, and was completed by 1 o'clock ; shortly after which the Con fiance and Pique steamers took her through Hameem into the Sound, whence, at 4 o'clock, a favourable breeze carried her out of sight of land in about two hours. The engineers, boiler makers, &c., volunteers from the factory at Woolwich for service at Malta, leave Woolwich to-day for Southampton, tolembark in the Candia, screw steamship of the Peninsular and Oriental Bteam Naviga tion Co., for a passage to their destination. One hundred and three recruits arrived at Woolwich yesterday to join the Woolwich division of Royal Ma rines. They aro principally volunteers from the Shrop shire regiment of Militia. No. 2 company of the 12th battalion of Royal Artil lery left the garrison at Woolwich at 6 a.m. yesterday, and embarked at Roff's wharf in one of the Woolwich Steam-boat Company's vessels, for conveyance to Shoe buryness, where they are to join the lst company of the same battalion, for practise with the Minis carbines in the mornings and with the siege guns and long ranges in the afternoons. They are two of the six companies under orders for foreign service. Gunner and Di iver, Fuller, until lately groom to Captain and Adjutant Telfer, of the Royal Artillery, committed suicide yesterday morning at six o'clock, while getting ready for guard-mounting- By some Means he loaded his gun unobserved by the other men, and, with the aid of a piece of twine and his foot, pulled the trigger after he had placed the piece under his chin, and blew his head almost entirely off. The deceased had been 15 years in the service, and has left a wife and two children. Lieut.-Colonel Yule has been appointed to command the Royal Engineers of Jersey, in the place of Lieut.- Colonel' Alexander, who has gone to join the army in Turkey. • A detachment of the 44th Foot proceeded by railway yesterday morning from Portsmouth to W'aliner, to join the depot. The depot of the 34th Regiment is ordered to join the service companies at Portsmouth from Leeds. Two detachments of the 6th (Eaniskillen) Dragoons left Exeter on Wednesday en route for Plymouth. The order for their departure arrived late on the previous evening, and the men left the Topsham Barracks shortly before 11 o'clock, and proceeded down the main street of the city. A large number of citizens were assembled to witness their departure, and cheered them as they passed. Two troops of the Ist (King's) Dragoon Guards, under the command of Captain J. R. S. Sayer and Captain Sir T. Grisley, Bart., arrived in Dublin on Tuesday from Newbridge, and occupy quarters in Portobello barracks. Two additional troops of the same corps also arrived in Dublin on Wednesday. Captain R. T. Thompson's troop will be quartered in Island -bridge barracks, and Captain A. H. P. S. Wortley's in the Royal barracks. The regiment is under orders for Scotland, to replace the 7th Hussars. Colonel M`Murdo has arrived in Dublin, and will as sume the duties of Assistant-Adjutant -Gene ral in the Dublin district to-day. A Limerick military paper says In the forthcom ing military Brevet the services of the following staff officers will be discontinued in their present position, all occasioned by promotion, that from Major-General to be Lieut.-General, and pf Colon&to be Major-General, -- viz., Major-General Conyers, lonian Islands; Major- General Sir H.

MILITIA. A regiment of Militia is to be quartered in the Royal Marine barracks of the Woolwich division for garrison duty. The Dorset Yeomanry Cavalry has been under inspec tion during the last few days at Lenthay, near Sherborne, by Colonel Griffiths, of the 10th Hussars, commandant of the Maidstone girrison. The Colonel has expressed himself in strong terms of approbation of the appearance and working of the regiment, and complimented the Earl of Ilchester on having under his command such an efficient body of men. On Tuesday last Lieut.-General Sir John Bell, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey, inspected, at Fort Regent, the Jersey corps of enrolled pensioners, under the command of Major Du Vernet, in the presence of his Excellency Major-General Love, Governor of Jersey. The Cornwall and Devon Miners' Artillery Militia, having completed their 28 days' drill, were dismissed on Tuesday, and delivered up their kits and accoutrements at Pendennis Castle. Their advance and proficiency in drill have been commended by their Colonel, Sir Col man Rashleigh, and also by Colonel Andrews, the in specting officer of artillery for the south-western dis trict. The majority of the corps being miners, whose wages are good at this moment, there has been little of no disposition evinced to volunteer for permanent duty. TILE BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA. The Journal de St. Petersbourg, of the 23d inst., has the following leading article : "It is not without surprise that we have received (pris connaisance) the manner in which Vice-Admiral Hamelin describes the bombardment of Odessa, in his official report to his Government. "According to the terms of this report the combined Anglo-French squadrons destroyed the Port Imperial of that town, the establishments of the Admiralty, its ma gazines, barracks, powder magazine, and battery, with out the 30,000 men forming the garrison, or the 70 cannon of the fortress, or of.its batteries, being able to preserve Port Imperial from this disaster. - "In order to appreciate, the truth of these assertions it suffices to say (that which cannot besides be unknown in Europe in regard to a town annually visited by thou sands), that there exists neither fortress, admiralty, nor port devoted to military purposes. That which Admiral Hamelin designates under the name of Port Imperial was formerly, in the days of Admiral Ribas, a military port. It has retained this name up to this day, but in reality it is nothing but a pratique harbour, destined to receive ships which have finished their quarantine in another harbour, into which vessels enter which are submitted to sanitary measures. Now, the mole of free pratique has not been destroyed. It still exists, as can be verified by all inhabitants and foreigners in the town. Its battery of four pieces maintained during six successive hours a combat, during which it had to return the fire of eight steam frigates and one corvette. It was at last dismounted ; but, if there be cause for astonishment, it is that it resisted so long, and that in despite of the number and heavy calibre of the guns of the frigates, the work of destruction should have required six hours, in lieu of being accomplished in a few minutes,* as might be supposed by persons having any knowledge of projectiles. This result of the enormous disproportion of force in combat does not in any way appear to justify the passage of Admiral Hame lin s report, wherein he boasts (proue) the immense supe riority of the practice of the Anglo-French cannon. We permit ourselves even to think that public good sense and historians' impartiality will, on the contrary, arrive at a totally different conclusion. As regards the pretended destruction of the Admiralty establishments, store:houses, barracks, and powder magazin e , which blew up,' amidst the cries of Viva l'Empereur' from the French crews, accompanied by hurrahs of the English sailors.' as stated by Admiral Hamelin, we will merely observe that all reduce itself to the nar row (infernies) proportions of the explosion of an ammu nition waggon, and of a wooden shed, erected for the use of the gunners employed at the Mole Battery. "What remains, then, of all the exploits so compla cently narrated by the commander-in-chief of the French squadron ? Why, the destruction of some coasting vessels, or the damage which others may have received, more or less. According to the detailed report, re ceived on this subject by the Board ofForeign Commerce, the greater part of these vessels had, as a measure of precaution, been sunk (coures) by their own captains. "The same precaution had been taken by the authori ties in regard to the Andie, the only steam-packet be longing to the Crown, and the floating light of Olchakoff, which was at Odessa. "The Board of Construction had to regret the loss of the dredging machine, and of some damage done to other similar machines. "'lt could not enter into our thoughts,' says Admiral Hamelin, to do the slightest harm to the towns of Odessa, or to its commercial port.' We have already ob served that the harbour designated by M. Hamelin under the name of Port Imperial,' and which the Admirals proposed to destroy, is in fact the harbour of free pra tique, especially destined for coasting vessels, and con sequently as much a commercial harbour as that called of 'the quarantine.' There is no difference between the two, except in a sanitary point of view. " But let us speak of the town. To judge by the French reports, this has been spared. In order to know what to think of this, it suffices to see the houses struck by the enemy's projectiles, and the shells (frag ments, it is to be supposed) picked up in the streets, of which some struck even the most distant quarters. In the town three men were killed and eight wounded. These facts, which can be verified on the spot, give the measure of the truth of the French report. We might point out other errors. " The field battery posted at the Pdrecype suburb was not put to the rout (mis en deroutc, as this report pastends. It was this battery, on the contrary, which routed and compelled to a precipitate retreat the enemy's boats detached under the protection of the steamers, to wards the coast, with the apparent intention of effecting a landing. "Admiral Hamelin speaks of the disorder which reigned in the town from the commencement of the at tack.' The inhabitants of Odessa and foreigners who were there can attest that public order was not troubled for an instant in the town ; that divine service on Easter Saturday was not interrupted, and that foreigners were not molested. It is known that foreign consuls have, by an official document already published by us, ren dered the homage of their unanimous gratitude for the protection their countrymen had received. " According to Admiral Hamelin, two French vessels profited by the imaginary disorder- occasioned by the attack to leave the harbour. We have to state that these two ships, laden with grain, had received the Em peror's permission to depart, in consideration that they had taken in their cargoes and quitted Odessa before the export of grain was forbidden, but had been obliged to put back to repair damage. "Admiral Hamelin attributes to the disorder prevailing at Odessa the absence of the Russian standard during the combat. The cause of this absence can be explained very simply, because there was no fortress, no admiralty estab lishment, no Russian vessel of war at Odessa, whatever may be said by English journals, who have been still more liberal, by blowing up a frigate, and by destroying nine other vessels in dock. The batteries of Odessa are not permanent works. They have only been raised and armed temporarily, to protect the port against isolated Turkish cruisers ; for we must avow that we never thought of such an eventuality as an attack on a peace ful and purely commercial city by the combined squad rons of two civilised nations. We will add that it is not customary with us for detached batteries to have flags. " The grand deeds (hauts faits) of the com bi ne d squad rons upon thi s occasion suggested to Admiral Hamelin an observation, thus worded ;—' If the supreme art of war consists in doing much injury without receiving any, never did this maxim receive more opposite application.' This fine phrase would only have had a logical sense if the Odessa batteries had been unable to effect the smallest damage to the enemy's vessels. But if such were the case, let us ask why three frigates were compelled to be taken in tow on the 22d, and the Fury next day, in order to get out of the range of fire ? When frigates moved by the powerful force of steam are compelled to be taken in tow, in consequence of an en gagement, it may be permitted to suppose that the ad verse batteries have contributed something tb,ereto. " The two admirals pretend that they completely ef fected the proposed object by inflicting the destined chastisement upon the military authorities of Odessa. Nevertheless, their summons bespoke in imperious terms the pretension to obtain forthwith' the restoration of all French, English, and Russian vessels at Odessa. But, after cannonading from dawn to evening, they quitted the waters of Odessa without obtaining the restoration of the vessels which they had peremptorily demanded. Now, when a thing is demanded in a menacing tone, and recourse has been had to force to give effect to me naces, and retreat is made without obtaining the object demanded—if that cannot be termed a check (echec), we know not what word to employ. " Finally, as relates to the assault (attentat) of which the Odessa authorities are said by the Admi rals to have been guilty, in regard to the flag of truce, we have nothing to add to the information given by us on this subject. The admirals were not witnesses of the incident (but Captain Loring was). If they permit themselves to say, in their letter to Ge neral Osten-Sacken, that he merely advances erro neous allegations,' the expression may be little palatable, but it does not follow that it was juAt. Why should their assertion be an authority ; and that of Russian officers, under the eyes of whom the incident occurred, merit no credit ? But since there is affirmation on one side, and denegation on the other, seeing the deteFinina : , tion taken in France and England to consider tie always in the wrong, we must submit - to remain under the accusation of an infraction (attentat contre) of the laws of nations. " It appears to us absurd, however, to presume that a vessel carrying a flag of truce should be fired upon without motive. (It did not appear so riduculous to those exposed to the fire.) The mission of the flag of truce was accomplished without hindrance by the boat of the Furious. What legitimate motive could the frigate have in the interest of the parley to place herself within range of our batteries. We can comprehend this. By this infraction of established rules, she had placed herself in the wrong. It is evi dent that if she had remained as she might out of range, nobody would have thought of firing at her. By coming within range she must have had a motive of some kind which could have nothing in common with the parley. Was it to examine more nearly the means of defence of the town, to study the localities, or to sound ? How can we tell ? But all probabilities tend to attribute some such motive to the Furious ; and so, by way of clearing up the mystery, the batteries fire at her under a flag or truce as well as at her boat. " The explanations we have thus given will serve to point out (relever) the errors in the report of Admiral Dundas in regard to the same affair. He speaks of the fortress of Odessa—of the explosion of a powder maga zine ; and pretends that the town a❑d mole which covered the merchant vessels were not struck. We will limit ourselves to referring to what has been said above on this subject." Now, without entering into any counter explana tions on this subject, it is not possible to avoid regretting the tone of sarcasm and contemptuous superiority that pervades the greater part. This is certainly not the way to induce our admirals to repeat their act of forbearance, either a second time at Odessa, or elsewhere. However much extremes may be deplored, it is almost to be hoped that upon all future occasions they will either refrain from making peremptory demands, or, in case of refusal, persist in their chastisement so long as a stick or stone remains standing in therecalcitrant place, no matter whether it be or be not a place of war. All we have gained by forbearance is the above docu ment, and a universal impression throughout Russia that we were driven off crippled and terrified. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 31. IMPERIAL GAS COMPANY V. LONDON GAS LIGHT COMPANY. An action had been brought by the plaintiffs against the defendants for cutting their pipes and affixing ser vice pipes of their own to the plaintiffs' mains, thus allowing the plaintiffs' gas to flow into the defendants' pipes. The defendants pleaded the Statute of Limitations. The plaintiffs, by their replication, stated that the de fendants, by secret and fraudulent means---namely, by cutting off the service pipes which they had thus affixed, and stopping up the holes in the plaintiffs' mains, had within six years endeavoured to prevent, and, in fact, prevented the plaintiffs from discovering their cause of action. To this replication the defendants demurred. A second count in the plaintiffs' declaration stated the trespass of plugging up the pipes, and the fraudulent concealment thereby of the cause of action, and alleged the loss of the right of action as consequential damage. To this count the defendants demurred also, but ob tained leave to plead as well as d4inur. The demurrer was supported by Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Wilder appeared for the Imperial Company. The question in the first place was, whether if a de fendant wilfully and fraudulently had taken means to prevent the plaintiff from discovering his right of action for six years, the defendant could plead the statute, or whether the time did not run ftknn the discovery only of the right of action. A second question rose on the second count, as to whether, if, by the fraudulent act and trespass of the defendant within six years the right of action was concealed until it was barred, this trespass did not give a new right of action in which the measure of the damages would be the loss of the former right. The Court unanimously held that the statute ran un conditionally, and stated that a contrary decision would be attended with the utmost alarming consequences. The demurrer to the replication must be allowed. The second count of the declaration was clearly good, as it alleged a trespass within six years ; but it would be for the judge who should try the case to direct the jury as to the measure of damages. If the defendants were em barrassed by the wording of the count they might go before a judge at chambers. This demurrer must be overruled. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS—JuNic 1.

BIRMINGHAM, Just 1. STOOK EXCHANGE.—The railway Aharo market is firm, and has apparently rallied from the slight depression which it experienced on Tuesday. The shares of lines of railway most in request are scarce, as holders of stock, from pre sent appearances, anticipate a still better market. There was very little business done on 'Change today, but an improved feeling existed. Midland Stock was transacted at 601. BRISTOL, JUNE 1. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The market remains without any alteration in prices. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT NEW-CROSS, DEPTFORD.— Yesterday morning C. Dowden was at work on a scaf fold, near the Royal Naval Asylum, New-cross, when some one called to him. He turned round sharply, and fell a depth of 50 feet. He was picked up from a pool of blood perfectly insensible. Not the slightest hopes aro entertained that he can survive. , . r , RAILWAY INT ELZ-ZG.ENO,R LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. C N It appears that a large number of engine-driverr - en the southern division of this railway have threatened to strike unless all those who have for the last twelve months been driving upon the line goods as well as pas. senger trains shall be paid 75. per diem. A deputation from the men met Mr. M'Connell at Rugby yesterday, and after some consultation it was agreed to refer the whole question to the locomotive committee of the com pany at their next meeting, on the 9th inst. A new arrangement with the engine -drivers has been for some time in contemplation for working the engines by con tract, and it appears that about 30 of the oldest drivers upon the line have, at their own request, been plaCed upon contract work, and the result has been that they are earning a very considerable increase over the usual wages. The contract work is so regulated that the driver has 12 hours' rest every day, and at the same time he is guaranteed the ordinary rate of wages. The men working by contract are subject to a fine of ls. per minute if they should be from their own neglect behind time with the engines. This stringent rule has, in many cases, secured unusual punctuality. The price paid to the driver, who has coke, tallow, oil, &c., supplied to him at cost price by the company, under the contract system, is from 3id. to 41d. per mile for passenger trains, and from Gd. to 61d, for goods trains, including the repairs which do not require shed work ; and, as far as the system has been tried, it appears to have effected a saving of 20 per cent. Should the adoption of this system over all the lines of the London and North-Western Railway be equally successful, it is ex pected that it will result in a reduction of the working expenditure to the extent of 100,0001. per annum. BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY STATION. The new central station of the London and North. Western Company, in New-street, Birmingham, was opened yesterday for passenger traffic, and the Curzon street station finally closed. All the trains of the North• Western, Midl and, Stour Valley, Shrewsbury and Bir• mingham an d S tour Valley are thus brought together is the centre of Birmingham, and the public, by having afforded to them a continuous conveyance, are most materially convenienced. The arrangements are as yet scarcely completed. The station occupies an area of 7 acres, and the roof 41, 2.1 of which are constructed of glass. There are four platforms, the largest of which, when completed, will be upwards of a quarter of a mils in length. Attached to the station is a first-rate hotel, where travellers are accommodated at a comparatively moderate tariff. BELFAST AND BALLYMENA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at Belfast, the Hon. G. Handcock in the chair, The report of the directors was adopted. After some discussion, the dividend recommended by the directors, of 20s. per share for the half-year, being at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, was agreed to, and the meeting separated. CORK, BLACKROCK, AND PASSAGE. • The report of the directors states that the traffic on the line for the half-year ending the 29th of April last amounted to 4,3721., being 3541, over that of the corre• spending period of last year. The working expense( and interest on loans amounted to 3,4791., leaving a ba lance of 8931., out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum on th• paid-up capital for the half-year. KILLARNEY JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Dublin. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Pennefather. The directors' report stated that the line was, with the exception of a small station at Lombardstown, com pletely finished and in excellent order, and had been given up to the Great Southern and Western Railway Company, who are bound to maintain it. The traffio was steadily improving, and it was hoped that the en suing summer would show a large increase both in pas sengers and goods. The report having been adopted, the meeting separated. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. A special meeting of this company was held on Wed. nesday at Dublin, for the purpose of considering a bill now pending in Parliament, Mr. J. E. Redmond in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that the bill then before Parlia ment was for the purpose of forming an independent company for the construction of a line of railway from Bengalstown to Wexford, and to enable the Irish South- Eastern Company to subscribe 50,0001., subject to the approbation of the proprietors, to be obtained at a meet ing to be held after the bill had received the sanction of the Legislature. After a brief discussion, a resolution approving the bill was carried, and the proceedings terminated. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS. CORK AND WATERFORD. The Earl of MARCH reported from the sub-committee that the bill does not authorise the construction of any new works, but only extends and revives the powers al ready granted for that purpose. Four petitions were referred to the committee against the bill. The com mittee had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the bill, and had amended the same by omit ting the recital as to the branch to Fermoy, concerning winch no powers are taken in the bill, and by defining the western terminus of the railway, and had found the same as amended to be true. BANGOR AND CARNARVON. Mr. BOUVERIR repOrted from the committee that the objects of the bill are to enable the company to raise $ further some of money for the purposes of their under taking, by the creation of new shares, and to enable the company to transfer their undertaking to the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. The length of the Bangor and Carnarvon railway is 7 miles, and that of the Chester and Holyhead (with which it directly com municates), is 85 miles, and it was proved to the com mittee that the Bangor and Carnarvon line had been worked by the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company from the date of the opening of the former line. Under these circumstances it appeared to the committee that this was a special case, in which an amalgamation of the two undertakings was desirable. GREAT WESTERN, SHREWSBURY, AND BIRMINGHAM, AND SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY COMPA. NIES' AMALGAMATION. Mr. LASCELLES reported, from the sub-committee, that the objects of the bill were simply to authorise the con solidation into one undertaking of the Great Western, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Railways ; and the union into one company of the three several companies to whom the said rail ways respectively belong. Petitions against the bill were presented from the London and North-Western, Chester and Holyhead, Shropshire Union, Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton, Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway Companies, and from seven other parties. The new stock and annuities into which by the bill power is sought to convert the mortgage or bond debt of the amalgamated company will be in lieu of mortgages and bonds or other securities in one or other of the undertakings proposed to be amalgamated under the bill, and the rate of dividend or interest to be payable in respect of the new stock or annuities is limited to 4i per cent. per annum, which is a lower rate than the average rate of interest which has generally been paid on the existing mortgages or bonds or other securities of the respective companies parties to the amalgamation. The committee have decided upon recommending the amalgamation of the Shrewsbury and Chester and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Companies with the Great Western Railway Company,fas being of a special charac ter and of great importance to the public interest, inas much as without such amalgamation it appears to the committee that the smaller companies could not effi ciently carry the traffic within their several districts, and that the result of such amalgamation will be 4m proved economy of management, and greater facility of communication to the public at large. NORTH AND SOUTII-WESTERN JUNCTION. Mr. BoUvERIR reported from the committee that the object of the bill was merely to raise additional capital for the completion and general purposes of the under• taking. The amount of additional capital proposed to be raised by the bill is 15,0001., and the amount they are authorized to borrow 4,9341. WEST LONDON. Mr. Bouv bill are treportedo o determine from the committee th a t the objects of the E 999 years of the West London Railway existing l ease f or to the London and North-Western Railway Company (in respect of which lease various disputes have arisen, which disputes riseo enable blsuitse theat leave p a ii ie s g ) i , veaandtW la e w st London Company and between the two corn the London and North-Western fresh arrangements for the Company to enter into of the West London sale or lease of the under taking Western Company, disputes between the find s to provide for the settlement of the Great Western Railway companies, and for admitting the use of the West Lon w d a o y n RCaoiluipany to participate in LEOMINSTER AND K VI INYTON. Mr. ADA. bill IR reported from the sub-committee on the that the proposed capital • 000/ of the company is 80, • and the amount of loan 26,0001. The length of the rail way is 13 miles 2 furlongs, and the steepest gradient is lin 80. It is intended to cross on the level six public and turnpike roads. The estimated cost of the railway is 80,0001., and the quantity of land required 90 acres. The bill authorises the company to enter into working arrangements with the Shrewsbury and Hereford Rail way Company, ~but the power is limited to ten years, and can only be renewed with the consent of the Board of Trade. The sub-committee are satisfied of the fitness in an engineering point of view, of the proposed railway. SIIROPSHIItE UNION RAILWAY AND CANAL. Mr. LASCELLES reported from the sub-committee tha the object of the bill is to remove certain impediments to the granting of a lease of the undertaking to t he Lou.— don and North-Western Railway Company. The com mittee had examined the allegations contained i n th e preamble of the bill, an d had amended the same by striking out certain words, and found the same as amended to be true. MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN OV IRELAN D. The Earl of MARCH reported from the in b -co D. i in the same had mmittee, that they had examined the allegations contained preamble of the bill, but the not been proved to their satisfaction. APPREHENSION OF► DESERTERS.—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, thu constables of the S division took into custody two deserters on Hampstead-heath, one belonging to the Royal Artillery and the other to the Royal Marines.
