DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL.— At a MEETING of the COMMITTEE associated for opposing the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, held at Exeter Hall, this Bth day o June, 1844 The Secretaries reported, that on Thursday evening alone there were presented to the House of Commons against the Bill the vast amount of 937 petitions, including the signatures of an unprece dented number of Clergymen of the Established Church, Barristers, Merchants, and Bankers, and persons of all religious denominations, influenced by no political or. party motives, but actuated to spon taneous exertions by a desire to prevent dangerous innovation on the established law, legislative interference with charities for mere indivi dual and sectarian benefit, and a practical patronage of errors, which they deem fatal and unchristian. And the Committee having also considered the recent discussion in Parliament on the second reading of the Bill, It was resolved, _ . _ 1. That while the Committee deplore the numerous, though pro bably unintentional, misrepresentations of laws and facts so pro fusely made, and which might well influence the House—and while they protest against flippant and unfounded imputations on them of a persecuting spirit or indifference to that true religious freedom which they would ever uphold—they must entertain and announce a con tinued conviction, that a more unneckssary, unjust, and dangerous measure has never been submitted to Parliament, and have deter-. mined, that through every future stage modifications should be at tempted, and then, if no satisfactory improvement be made, that its final rejection on the third reading should be strenuously pursued. 2. That to the Petitioner* who, with holy and honourable zeal, have supported the opposition to the Bill, the Committee offer, with their thanks their entreaties that they will not relax in their efforts, by petitions, meetings, and addresses to Members, to produce further that expression of the public opinion of the enlightened, constitu tional, and .pious, which 'even Power, with all its Parliamentary support, may not finally disregard, and which will ensure an ultimate victory to the cause of justice and truth. 3. That the most cordial acknowledgments of the Committee be presented to Sir Robert Inglis, Bart., ; the Right Hon. Fox Manic, 31. P.; J. P. Plumtre, Esq., M.P. ; Lord Ashley, M.P.; and the whole minority of 117 Members of the Hones of Commons ; who notwithstanding all their political attachments under circumstances of peculiar disadvantage, and regardless of the temporary cralitions, confidence, and exultations, with which they had to contend, mag nanimously resisted a measure which has awakened amongst the wise and good a painful alarm, and entitled themselves to that unbought homage and augmenting regard which consistency and firmness in public men (so rare, but so important) very righteously and deeply deserve. VERNON HARCOURT, R.N., Chairman. The Committee will continue their Meetings at Exeter Hall, and receive communications from the country with pleasure, and afford cheerfully advice and support.

AYR TOWN COUNCIL. THE SCOTCH BANKING SYSTEM'. A special meeting of Council was held on Wednesday, the 15th May, Provost Miller in the chair—tor the pur pose of considering the Scottish Banking system, in con sequence of the scheme propounded in the House of Commons by the Premier, on the question of the re newal of the Bank of England charter. No previous notice having been given, the standing orders were de parted from; and The PROVOST rose and said—lt may be imagined that Scotland is comparatively little interested in the pro posed measure for altering the law re l a ting to bank ing and currency, which is under discussion in Par liament. This, however, is a narrow and very short sighted view of the (location. Whatever affects the pros • perity of England must exercise a powerful influence over that of Scotland; and whatever principle is applied to this most important branch of our.com mercial system in England, as well as the mode in which it may be carried into practical operation, must, it is manifest, ere long be extended to Scotland. It, therefore, becomes a matter of the deepest interest to Scotland to ascertain the aim and ultimate tendency of the propoed change.. To attain a Clear view of the character and scope of this measure, it is necessary to take into consideration the whole scheme, and the principle upon which it proceeds. The principle en-. deavoured to be established, and to which the House of Commons is invited to commit itself, is, " that the notes in circulation should; uncittp- all circumstances, vary with the efflux aad influx of bullion." This is a disputed question, and its truth is denied by writers of eminence, as well as by the greater number of bankers. Them is only one mode of - effectually carrying it into practical operation, and that mode is one bank of issue for the u hole kingdon, with the total suppression of all local banks of issue. But Sir R. Peel, being well aware that this proposition, if nakedly stated, and its inevitable consequences clearly explained, would rouse an opposition he could not overcome, limits the imme diate operation of his scheme merely to establishing the principle that the currency ought to be governed by the foreign exchanges. But remarkable skill and ingenuity is displayed in framing the scheme in such a manner as gradually; though with equally certainty in the end, to effect the same result as if all local issues were at once suppressed. The departments of deposit and issue are to be distinctly separated in the Bank of Eng land. The principle is thus fully applied, but in such a manner as to interfere little with the profits of that establ6hment. Local banks are not deprived of their currency, but restricted to the average issue of the last three years, and they cannot, on the ground of either permanently increased business, or any temporary cause, exceed this amount. As the old banks drop off, no new bank of issue is permitted to be esta blished. Whatever, therefore, was the amount of their currency, must be supplied by the Bank of England ; and as by; far the larger proportion of the country cir culation of England is furnished by private banks, it is evident the natural course of events will throw it all into the Bank of England. Existing banks are thus improp e rly given bribed, by by the ttheex t p e e mp nsro a f ry th m e o p n u op b o lic Y , not to offer the measure that opposition which the immediate suppres sion of their currency would certainly have roused. But it requires little sagacity to see that, at the end of ten y ears at farthest, this privilege will be with drawn. Indeed, it appears more than doubtful if it will he allowed to remain so long undisturbed: for the measure will, in my apprehension, instead of steadying commercial matters, have a tendency to create greater alternations of inflated prosperity and deep depression; when its failure will be attributed, not to its true cause, but to the circumstance of the principle not being fully carried out. Whether this supposition is right or wrong, it is clear the object of the measure will at the end of ten years be attained, and one central bank of issue in London will supply the currency of the whole kingdom, regulated in its quantity by the foreign ex changes. Thus, throtO the natural v and almost imper ceptible action of the machinery this scheme sets in motion, the notes of the Bank of England and gold will gradually supplant those of the present issuers ; and when this is effected, the ultimate result, on those districts whose currencies hare been suppressed, will be as.disastreus as if the principle had at once been carried to its fullest extent. It is the agricultural and remote districts which will suffer most severely, as they are the chief field of the country issuers: These district; ss ill Sberefore be deprived to a great extent of the banking accommodation and supplies of capital, to aid Leal enterprise and industry,- which they at present enjoy. But it may be said, Scotland is not touched. Leaving out of view the manifest conse quence of any ii;jury inflicted on England, it would be a fatal delusion to remain quiet in the expectation of being left alone on that ground. Sir R. Peel himself furnishes the reason for this—" He does not wish to bring around his head the storm the idea even of the application of such a principle to her currency would raise." He wishes simply to " establish principle." Let those, however, which he proposes, be once esta blished in England, and England will aid in forcing them to their full extent upon Scotland. There is even now a great jealousy of the prevailing difference of our beingpermitted to enjoy the benefits of a purely paper currency, undisturbed by the panics and distrust which in England have so often impeded industry, and have lately, to a certain extent, robbed the working classes of a portion of their hard-earned rewards, from the defective state of the gold coinage. From this Scotland has altogether escaped. But increase the difference by applying to England still more stringent regulations relating to her banking and currency, and he must be blind indeed who does not perceive that the Prime Minister, even although himself reluctart (which he evidently is not), would .be compelled by England to assimilate in every respect the laws of the two countries, by substituting gold for the small notes, and applying the same principles as well as the same machinery to work them out. The plan is simply to effect this object by'taking the banking establisments of the three coun'ries in detail, and to enforce the application of principles which, with the aim openly and broadly stated, a united opposition would render tilinopnososifblel.ong.Tshigehpteedonpelses of but if they permit this Scotland have the reputa 'England, under the delusion of being undisturbed, the eve n t w ill prove that it has mea sure to be applied to failed them on this occasion. It is even a delusion to imagine we will be allowed to retain our small notes for ten years. Sir Robert leaves himself entirely at liberty to deal with Scotland immediately, as he has dealt w u it England. , IL ofh To err)rospe her rity . banking That system atsys temis Scotlandfounded ed upon"'es n s r l eg cinespetition, and the power bankers derive from the use of their currency t o a llow a comparatively high rate of interest on deposits. Supplant local is suers by the notes of one. central bank of issue, and although there will still be banks, our excellent system, which has been so instrumentabin promoting the pros perity of every branch of domestic enterprise and industry, will be annihilated. Scotland is the only country in the world where a free system of banking and currency has been fairly tried, and in no quarter of the world have more benefits been conferred by banks on the public, mixed with fewer evils. Banking accommodation has been afforded on cheaper terms, capital more extensively diffused and subdivided, so as to meet the wants of all engaged in every branch of productive industry, however humble. The loss sus tained by insolvency has been comparatively , small ; and panics, which have again and again desolated England, have 'been almost unknown; whilst the re turns of the circulation of Scotland, printed by order of the House of Commons, furnishes incontrovertible evidence that, instead of being excessive in its absolute amount, and in its fluctuations from year to year, it is proportionally to the wealth and population of Scotland, restrained within morelimited bounds than that of any country of which we possess any authentic evidence. To pass over in almost total silence so striking an illus tration of the results of free competition, and to wander across the Atlantic in search of an example to prove that convertibility is not, where competing issuers are' permitted, a sufficient safeguard against excess, is, to say the least, a singular oversight ; whilst to Insert that the banks of America were powerful joint stock banks, under wise regulations, and generally with unlimited responsibility, is a misrepresenta tion of the actual circumstances. The banks of America were, almost without any exception, chartered State banks, with their liabilities limited. The guarantee for their liabilities was entirely dependent on their paid up capital ; and as the shareholders were in most banks permitted to draw to a certain extent upon the stock they held, the security 'to the public was almost wholly illu sory. Their notes thus became depreciated, not from excess, but from reckless mismanagement and fraudulent bankruptcy. To deduce, therefore, from the disasters of American banking, an argument against competition, would be as reasonable as to assume that no nation will maintain its public faith inviolate because the States of America have repudiated their debts. Yet it is upon such grounds as these that Sir R.Peel proposes a scheme which must eventually alter the whole banking system of the em pire—upon an untried and unproved theory, admitted to be, at variance with the opinions of Snsith and Ricardo, and on uncertain illustration drawn from a distant country ; whilst close at hand there is an example, sup ported by evidence which it is impossible to controvert, satiaactorily establishing conclusions directly at variance with those which form the basis of his whole plan. Having stated my views thus fully on this all-important question, I beg to submit for the approval of the Council the following resolution in which these views are em bodied:— Mr. PAUL seconded these resolutions. • The following is the abstract of the resolutions re ferred to:— ." That the Magistrates and Council, view with much alarm and dissatisfaction, the alterations proposed by the Prime Minister, in the laws for the regulation of the Banks and Currency of England ; for, although there are several valuable improvements—such as greater pub . - litity, both regarding the partners of these establish ments and their liabilitiess--which; if ingrafted on the existing system, would exercise a beneficial influence ; still, in their opinion, it is th e aim, and will be the in vitable consequence of the provisions of this measure, when applied to Scotland, to lead to a total change in the present system of banking, which the long experience, and practical good sense of the nation, have taught them to be attended with the most beneficial results, in promoting the. wealth and advancement of the people." Mr. P. COWAN thought them rather premature. Provost MILLER replied, that although the Premier did not threaten immediate interference, yet his whole observations were indicative of such intention, and that, perhaps, at no distant period. . The revolutions were unanimously agreed to, and or• dered to be published. The meeting then broke up. The following are some of the reasons which have led the Magistrates and Council to the conclusions at which they have arrived:- 1. Because the principle of extending or limiting the issues of the bank notes, in obedience to the action or the foreign exchanges, is one repudiated by, and at direct variance with, the opinions of many of the most eminent authorities on this subject. 2. Because the tendency of the proposed measure being ultimately to suppress all local issues, and thereby to call gold, as the instrument of exchanges, into much greater use, must have the effect of enhancing the value of money ; and thereby aggravating the burden of all debts and engagements—an effect similar to that which in former years, spread ruin and bankruptcy over the land. 3. Because, evidently, it is ultimately the intention of the Minister, by gradually claiming all the profits upon the issues of bank notes, to convert them into instru ments of taxation, and thus to deprive the people of those advantages they receive through the present system ; for free competition, which equalises the rate of profit on every branch of - trade, under the existing system prevents the bankers from appropriating to them selves the profits of the currency. They are, therefore, transferred to the public in one shape or another, through the intervention of a more inexpensive system of banking than will prevail when the currency is furnished by a Central Bank of Issue. Upon the public, then, and not upon bankers, will be thrown the burden of this new tax. 4. Because the Prime Minister carefully avoids pledging - himself to any course with regard to Scotland. He is perfectly unfettered, and may suppress all, or any portion of the currency, if he obtains the sanction of Parliament. He has deferred all consideration of the banking system of Scotland—merely . preventing the establishment of any new bank of issue— until his " principles are established." But, if the bribe held out of a temporary monopoly to existing banks, at the ex pense of the public, neutralises opposition, and his' mea sure is carried for England—he may look forward for the aid of England in suppressing or curtailing the cur rency 9f Scotland, as the people of England may be expected to view with dislike and jealousy the posses sion, on' the part of the Scottish nation, of an advantage not enjoyed by themselves. 5. Because Scotland is the' only country in the world where free competition in banking and issues has been fairly tried; and-in no country has banking accommoda tion been more extensively at the command of all classes, on easier or cheaper terms, or attended with more safety. The loss sustained by insolvency has been comparativuly small. Panics almost unknown—and instead of the circulation being excessive, and subject to violent fluctuations, the returns, printed by order of the Manse of Commons, afford incontrovertible evidence, that in proportion to her wealth and population, it is both smaller in amount and more unvarying in its general character, than that of any country of which we possess any authentic evidence. But the Prime Minister overlooks so striking an illustration of the results of competition ; he wanders to America in search of an example, to prove that competing issues tend to excess, against which convertibility does not offer a sufficient safeguard. To assert, however, that the Banks of America were powerful banks, generally with unlimited responsibility, and wise regulations, is a pal pable and most unaccountable error. They were, al most withoutany exception, Chartered State Banks, with limited responsibility ; their paid up capital—the only guarantee for their liabilities—being . in reality almost illusory, and their notes were depreciated, not from ex cess, but from general discredit and fraudulent bank ruptcy. Thus, consequently, can no argument be de duced from what occurred in America in support of the Prime. Minister's assertion, that competition must lead to excessive issues of notes, whilst it is satisfac torily disproved by the instance of Scotland, where competition is found to be attended by a diminished amount of Bank notes, instead of an enlargement, cor roborative in this respect of the high authority of the " Wealth of Nations," in the chapter on metallic and paper currency. Lastly, The Magistrates and Council are of opinion, that, in particular, the proposed measure will press with the utmost severity upon the more remote and distant parts of Scotland, from the danger and expense of transmitting gold to and fro—and it is most probable the result will be the total withdrawal of bank agencies from those districts, which must deprive them of the banking facilities they at present enjoy ; and by leaving them to their own expedients, a degree of confusion in all money transactions may naturally be expected to arise, which will not only check their advancement, but tend to make them retrograde towards that condition from which they emerged, chiefly through the easy distribution of capital so essentially promoted by the present banking system of Scotland. HUGH MILLER, Provost. Extracted from the Records of the Town CoUncil o: the Burgh of Ayr, by HUG H REID, Town-Clerk. the last-mentioned Bill the Committee had examined the several matters required by -the Standing Orders to be inquired into .by Committees on Railway Bills, and had agreed to the following Report : I. That the capital proposed to be raised by the said Bill is 200,000/., and that it is not proposed to authorise the raising by loan or mortgage a sum greater than one third of the capital, and that until one-half of the capital is paid up the Company are not to have power to raise any money by loan or mortgage. 2. That 6,750 shares, amounting. to 135,0001., have been subscribed fur, and the deposits paid thereon amount to 13,500/. 3. That the appendix contains the names and resi dences of the shareholders, distinguishing therein the directors or provisional committee, with the amount of shares taken by each, and shows also the shareholders who subscribe 2,0001 and upwards. 4. That there is one shereholdee who may be.con sidered as having a local interest in the line, and the amount of capital subscribed by him is 10,0001. 5. That the present means of conveyance and commu nication between the proposed termini are insufficient for agricultural, commercial, manufacturing, and other pur p sea. The present amount of traffic by land and water, the average charges made for passengers and goods, and time occupied, are stated in the appendix. 6. That the number of passengers, and the weight and description of goods. expected upon the proposed Rail way, are stated in the appendix. 7. That the amount of income expected to arise from the conveyance of passengers and goods, and in what proportion, and generally the description of goods from which the largest revenue is expected, are stated in the appendix. 8. That the proposed railway is a complete and in tegral line between the termini specified ; viz., from Ep som to a junction with the London and Croydon Rail way at Croydon. 9. That excepting the proposed Epsom and South- Western Railway, there is before Parliament no other competing line existing, or in progress, or in contem plation. The Committee are of opinion that the line recommended by them is entitled to preference for rea sons stated in a former part of their report. 10. That the railway is proposed to be worked throughout by stationary engines on the atmospheric principle, but power is taken in the Bill to use locomo tive engines. 11. That there are no peculiar engineering difficulties in the proposed line. There is no tunnel on the pro posed line. 12. That the gradients and curves are not unfavour able, the steepest gradient being 1 foot in 100, and the smallest radius of a curve being 40 chains. 13. That the length of the proposed railway is 8 miles and 152 yards, and there are no branches. 14. That it is not proposed to cross on a level any public carriage road or turnpike road. 15. That the amount of the estimates of the cost and other expenses to be incurred up to the time of the com pletion of the railway is 180,0001 and these estimates appear to be supported by evidence, and to be fully ade quate for the purpose. 16. That the estimated s;harge of the annual expenses of the railway is 301. per cent. on the expected annual income, and the calculations on which this charge is es timated have been sufficiently proved. 17. That the calculations proved in evidence before the Committee have established that the revenue is likely to be sufficient to support the annual charges of the maintenance of the railway, and still allow a profit to the prgiectors. That Mr. Cubitt, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, and Mr. Gibbons, were the engineers examined in support of the Bill, and Mr. Locke and Mr. Robert Stephenson in favour of the competing line. PUBLICATIONS.

SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. REPORT FROM. THE COMMITTEE ON THE EPSOM. AND SOUTH-WESTERN AND CROY DON AND EPSOM RAILWAY BILLS. Viscount Howick reported from the Select Committee on the Epsom and South-Western and Croydon and Epsom Railway Bills (competing lines), to whom several petitions against the said Bills were referred— That the Committee had carefully considered the two Bills which had been referred to them, with regard as well to the question whether it is desirable to have any railway communication to Epsom, as to the comparative advantages of the two lines which have been submitted to them. Upon the first point, the Committee are satisfied that an amount of traffic may fairly be calculated upon, be tween London and Epsom, sufficient to justify the forma tion of one line of railway, connecting that town with one of the existing lines of railway from the metropolis, but not such as to make it proper that two different and independent, lines should be made : it has therefore been the duty of the Committee to consider which of the two lines ought to be preferred. Both lines were equally unopposed by the owners of the property through which they respectively proposed to pass, the opposition which was offered by the land-owners to the Croydon line having been withdrawn in the course of the proceedings. In favour of the South-Western line, it has been shown that the length of railway to be constructed, and the amount of capital to be expended, would be very greatly less than in the competing line • but on the other hand, the promoters of the Croydon line have un • dertaken to afford the public very greatly superior ac commodation to that which would be given by the com peting line. It has been shown in evidence that, if the Croydon line should be adopted, it is intended that there should be thirteen trains a day each way ; while the promoters of the. South-Western line have stated that they only contemplate running four trains a day each way, under ordinary circumstances, two only of which would provide conveyance for third-class passengers. This limited number of trains by the latter line could not, as it appears to the Committee, be increased without very great inconvenience to the long traffic of the Com pany to Southampton and Gosport. Both Companies also have handed in to the Committee clauses, by which they were prepared to bind themselves not to exceed certain rates of charge for passengers and goods • and upon comparing these rates, the Committee find the charges proposed by the Croydon line to be very much the lowest, and therefore the best for the pub lic. The Croydon line also, by passing near the large villages of Cheam, Sutton, and Carshalton, will provide accommodation for a much larger population than the competing line, which, after leaving Epsom and Ewell, passes through a very thinly inhabited country. These, as it appears to the Committee, are sufficient grounds for giving the preference to the Croydon - line ; but further, it was urged in favour of the Croydon line, that the pro moters of that line intend to work it not by the ordinary method of locomotive engines, but by stationary engines, and on the principle of atmospheric traction. Much evidence was adduced in favour of this system of work ing railways ; and on the other side Mr. Robert Ste phenson was examined, in order to show that it was not likely to answer. The Committee do not feel them selves competent to pronounce any opinion on the com parative merits of the two methods of working railways, but they think it right to observe, that the objections of Mr. Stephenson do not go - to impugn either the practi• bility or the safety of this mode of conveyance ; all that he contends for is, that it is not likely to answer as a commercial speculation. Upon this point it has appeared to the Committee, that they are not called upon to form t a h ll e y ir o ru i d n g io m n e ; nt b , u th t this principle, and for u yrkw s r ai alan large lavlpublicergaxg advantageous tepot easargudi restrict er nm v ou o n n sftt money by nu them selves thel nyd be tried, without any cost to the public, by pvirivate hull yd layinga 1 whos, downar e r ait a t alpreparedswvaaenyr very obvious b p in av v o r r P e i ° r s ' That for these reasons the Committee had no p conveyance lti,ij t o a upon rat e which of they charge liesita tion in giving the preference to the Croydon and'Epsorn line, and they had therefore negatived the preamble of the South-Western and Epsom Railway Bill. That they had examined the allegations of the Croydon and Epsom Railway Bill, and had found the same to be true ;- and had gone through the Bill, and made several amendments thereunto. Viscount Howick further reported, that in the case of Under the head of Tow-street police will be found some particulars of the arrest and exammation of this gentleman before Mr. Jardine. The following version of the matter has been forwarded for publication, by Count Ostrowski himself : As Count Ostrowski was quietly sitting in his apartments in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, he was surprised by the sudden entrance of five or six individuals, who, without any attempt to explain the object of their visit, seized upon him with the utmost violence. Count Ostrowski naturally op posed some resistance to this proceeding, when the intruders declared themselves to be policemen (though they wore no uniform), and on being requested by the Count to produce the warrant under which they. acted, they drew their staves, and. threatened to " dash his brains out, unless he surrendered instantly. Count Ostrowski was detained by some of the policemen in his sleeping apartment, whilst the others were engaged in rummaging his writing-desk and securing his papers. He was then conveyed to a station-house at Westminster, and afterwards brought up before Mr. Jardine at Bow-street, where he, for the first time, learnt the nature of the charge on which he had been arrested. It appears that on Monday last Count Ostrowski called at his tailor's, Mr. Inkson's, 111 Ryder-street, St. James's, and observing a pair of trousers of rather striking appearance lying on the counter, he happened to inquire for whom they were intended. He was informed they had been ordered by the Emperor Nicholas ; at which Count Ostrowski expressed some surprise, and added, in ts jocular manner, that he should like to have the trying, or them on. Mr. Inkson, or .his shopman, converted this re mark into a threat against the life of their Imperial cus tomer ; and it was on this absurd and trumpery accusation that Count Ostrowski was dragged with so much parade and so little courtesy before the tnbunals of this country. He was required by Mr. Jardine to find bail for his peaceable behaviour, himself in the sum of 5001., with two sureties to the amount of 2501. each, or in default he was ordered to be committed for two months to Tothill-fields prison. The bail was, of course, obtained without difficulty, as soon as Count Ostrowski was permitted to communicate with his friends, which, however, he was not allowed to do until several hours after the time of his arrest. Count Ostrowski's papers are still detained ; all his endeavours to recover them from the hands of the police having proved unsuccessful. DESTUCTIVE FIRE AT HUDDERSFIELD.—Property to the extent of 30,000/. to 40,000/. in value was destroyed by fire on Monday morning last, at Folly-hall, near Hudders field. Between one and two o'clock in the morning flames were discovered bursting out from the third floor of the large factory at Folly-wharf, the property of Mr. Joseph Kaye. Messengers were quickly dispatched for fire-engines to Ar mitage-bridge and Milnes-bridge; and the fire-engine be longing to the factory and that of the Leeds and Yorkshire Insurance Company at Huddersfield were immediately set to work, as were also the engines which speedily arrived from the former places ; but, notwithstanding there was a plen tiful supply of water, the whole of the buildings in which the fire originated fell a rapid prey to the element. As it was soon evident that the fire had a large hold, owing, in a great measure, to the inflammable nature of the contents of the mill, the efforts of those who worked the engines were soon directed to the preservation of another large mill, a little to the south of the one now consumed, and also the property of Mr. Kaye. Hap pily, though the heat from the adjoining conflagration melted a great portion of the lead forming the roof of the second mill, and did great damage to the doors and windows, the efforts of the firemen were successful in saving the second mill from destruction. The mill or factory which was de stroyed was about 63 yards long, 18 wide, and 24 in height to the caves, above which were attics, and without these there were five stories. It was divided into a number of rooms, with steam power to each, and occupied by separate persons or firms. By the conflagration an immense quantity of property, amounting at least in value, as we have said before, to thirty or forty thousand pounds, was destroyed.. Five hundred persons have been thrown out of employment, and several of the occupiers of steam power ruined. Most of the latter class of persons had not their property insured, and Mr. Kaye's property was only partially insured. His loss, we understand, will not be less than 20,000/. The only accident that occurred in connection with the fire was to a youth about seventeen years of age, who had his arm frac tured by a coping-stone falling upon it. The origin of the fire has not been positively ascertained, but relm?ur ascribes it to the spontaneous combustion of a quantity 01 phoddy, or devil's dust. LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.—A general Meet"- ing of the provisional committee for the construction of this new line of railway was held on Friday morning at the Hall of Commerce, Threadneedle-street. The Right Hon. the Earl of Winchilsea occupied the chair. Mr. J. H. Astell, the chairman of the acting committee stated, that that commit tee having been appointed for the purpose of adopting mea sures for amalgamating the two companies then before the public, viz. the Great Northern Company, and the London and York via Lincoln Company, each having_ in view the connecting the metropolis with the city of York, sax] lain mately with Edinburgh, by means of a railroad, bad so Sr succeeded in their object, that henceforward the two. companies would act together in an harmonious spirit The committee had also appointed Mr. Locke, the en gineer to decide upon the merits of the respective lines. Mr. Pitman, the secretary, then read the report of the acting Committee, the contents of which, however, may be gathered from Mr. Astell's speech. The Noble Chairman said he fully concurred in all that the report contained, and added that he should be happy to give his most cordial sup port to either line that the engineer might prefer; even though, regarding it in a personal point of view, the other might be snore advantageous to himself. Upon the motion of Viscount Howick, M.P., seconded by Sir G. Strickland, m.v., the report was then agreed to ; as was a motion ap pointing a Committee of twenty-four gentlemen, with full. power to take all necessary measures to carry out the under taking. The Committee was subsequently nominated; and, upon the motion of Mr. E. B. Denison, M.P., seconded by the Hen. Octaviui•Duncombe, M.P., a vote of thanks was passed to the Noble Chairman, when the meeting separated. THE BRADFORD MunDsn.—We inserted in The Sun an account of a murder committed on an inoffensive musician named Benjamin Gott, who had attended a proces sion of some Orange clubs, by a mob of Irishmen at Bradford, in Yorkshire. After a long investigation before Mr. Pollard and Mr. Kaye, two of the Magistrates of the West Riding, four Irishmen of the names of Thomas Rogan, John O'Brien, Daniel Donovan, and William Quin, have been committed to York Castle, for trial at the ensuing assizes, on the charge of ." Wilful murder of the said Benjamin Gott;" and a man named Daniel Power has been admitted to bail, himself in 100/, and two sureties in 50/. each, to answer a similar charge when called upon. Costa's opera, Don Carlos, is:in active rehearsal at her Majesty's Theatre. This is likely to be the only opera tic novelty this season. Ricci's Corrado d'Altamara is post poned, and Persiani's opera, Il Fantasma, meets with an obstacle in the cast of the part, M. Persiani objecting to the one allotted to Mdlle. Favanti. WoOLwICII DOCKYARD.—Under the superinten dence of Capt. Denison, Civil Engineer, of her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, a considerable enlargement of that establishment is about to take place. For some time past much inconvenience has been felt in consequence of want of room by the boiler makers belonging to the yard. RAILWAY BlLLS.—Before the gallery of the House of Lords was opened on Friday, the following Railway Bills were read a second time :—viz., South-Eastern Railway Bill, Whitehaven and Maryport Railway Bill, Salisbury Branch Railway Bill, and South Devon Railway Bill. BRAINTREE.—k meeting of the Directors of the Braintree Corn Exchange was held on Tuesday last., at the Horn Inn, Braintree, when a dividend of 4i . per cent. was declared on the shares. William Walford, pin., Esq., and Mr. John Taylor, of Hedingham, were unanimously elected treasurer and chairman, in the room of George Nottidge, jun., Esq., resigned.—Essex Standard. Extensive preparations are on foot by Mr. Cubbitt, at the Belgrave Works, Thames-bank, to receive the Empe ror of Russia and the King of Saxony, who have expressed a desire to witness the power of steam in that extensive factory. THE WAKEFIELD Cou,mas.—These men yet re main out, with the exception of the pits named by us before, and we see no likelihood of the di s p u t e b e i ng am i ca bl y settled, as both masters and men do not appear willing to make any compromise; this we regret, as we think some amicable ar rangement might, perhaps, have been made. The shop keepers have begun to feel the effects of the strike in a dims • nilhed exchequer, and great complaints are made of the scarcity of money,— Wakefield Journal. RALLWAY FARES.—The following remarks upon the high fares maintained by the Railway Companies of this country, from the reports of the Parliamentary Select Com mittee on Railways, are well deserving of publicity and at tention :—" Great as have been the benefits of railways to the public, that circumstance does not afford any good rea son against seeking, by any just and reasonable means, to enlarge these advantages. Now, it is material to observe, that in this country what is called the high-fare system, ordinarily prevails • that the average charge of railway communication, a Charge falling, in no inconsiderable degree, on trade and commerce, is very much higher than in other countries where railways have been established; and that there is no clear or early prospect of a general reduction of the rate of charge under the present system of independent Companies, even although it might be possible that that great experiment might be tried, if it were tried fully and univer sally-, with no unfavourable results, even upon immediate re turns. It is a question which the Committee are far from thinking themselves able at present to determine, whether it would or would not be advisable that the Government should, at a future period, endeavour to effect a material reduction of this charge ; and, although on the one hand, it would be premature and most unwise in any , degree to prejudge this question, yet, in the opinion of the Committee, it is desirable to reserve to public authority the means of forming a judg ment upon it, when a proper time shall have arrived, at least in all those cases with regard to which the Legislature does not stand committed, by proceedings already taken, to a different course." It may be mentioned, to show the diffe rence, between fares in America and England, that from Boa. ton to New York costs only 95. 6d., although it is abo u t 200 miles ; and from New York to Albany, 160 miles, 6s. Might this not be copied with advantage? o ley E w L e D re END A much lqT amused . A l l a a s T t i ir re (1 btyhea case broug'h't ught ofß ik ev N er y before the Magistrates at the Guildhall, which was rendered one of the :most absurd burlesques perhaps ever enacted within the walls of a court of justice. The subject for ingi!irl arose from an aged and respectable gentleman, a retir ed bookseller, having been playfully attacked by a large and powerful Alpine spaniel (of the species originally bred by tbc monks of St. Bernard), whose owner was charged with allow ing the said animal to range about unmuzzled, to the dan gerous annoyance of her Majesty's lieges. The dog being a particular favourite, from the fact of his having descended from pure stock, and been bred on the rich soil of Bramharn Park, it was net to be endured that a malignant aspersion should be cast upon his fame, without a vigorous effort being made by a special pleader in his defence. The bench was, therefore, crowded by members of the learned and legal pro fessions—gentry, bankers, and merchants—who, together with a numerous host from the body of the court, readily , came forward to prove the excellent temper and docility of the animal ; in further proof whereof, he was ordered into court, and actually- took his stand erect on the bench, at the right of the worshipful Magistrates, where he certainly did appear most sagaciously consequential of his notoriety, and much delighted by the Judicial decision in his favour, that he was neither savage nor ferocious, to the evident chagrin of his accuser, but much to the diversion of a large assemblage of spectators.--York Courant. EVILS OF A LARGE FORTUNE.—"I don't know whether you will be happier with a large fortune?" said Lord Eskdale. " It's a troublesome thing ; nobody ie satisfied with what you do with it ; very often not your self. To maintain an equable expenditure —not to spend too much on one thing, too little on another—is an art. There must be a harmony, a keeping in disbursement, which very few men have. Great wealth wearies. The thing to have is about ten thousand a year, and the world to think you have only five. There's some enjoy. meat then; one is let alone. But the instant you have a large fortune, duties commence. And then impudent fellows borrow your money, and if you ask them for it again; they go about town saying, you are 6 screw."-' Uningsky, or the New .Generativn. l am " be had at all the Stations on Monday, the 10th inst. lil.la4i.
