MAIDS OF HONOUR. 3 I'n!g. H. Colbuln. This is an amusing tale illustrative of the Court of George the First. Perl - aps in all our history there is no reign more uncongenial with the feelings of Englishmen ; our glorious country was ruled over by a German Prince whose heart was in his own Elec torate, and who was unacquainted with the feelings, customs, and even with the language of his new sub jects. In the work before us his character is placed in no favourable light; his quarrels with his son, his national prejudices, and his subservience to his Ger man favourites are minutely described. Though not aspiring to such a dignity, this book may be valuable in a philosophical sense, by helping to unmask the empty splendour of regal pageantry—to show _that "all is not gold that glitters, affording, as it does, a mournful spectacle of men, great in titles, wealth, and power, wan ti ng on l y i n true no b il i ty of soul—of men of learning and genius, whose brilliant talents only rendered their moral depravity more conspicuous : such were the brilliant courtiers of this corrupted age. But, however correct in an historical point of view, there is a fault in the arrangement of the novel itself. The author seems well aware of the magic of a name, he has given real names to almost every indi vidual. Of late years truth has become the chief' basis fur all works of fiction ; the great characters and important events of history form a fitting theme for the pen of the novelist; but it is hardly fair to gi ve the names of pri va t e i n di v id ua l s t o the heroes of an imaginary tale. The heroine of this story is the beautiful Mary Lepel, whose charms have been I celebrated by all the poets of her time, even includ ing Pope ana Voltaire. We are unacquainted with her private history, her fame only exists in the verses of the poets ; yet this lady is made to experience as many dangers and misfortunes as if she were really a creation of the author. It is the same with the other characters—they all boast some name well known in story, and thus attract an interest foreign to themselves. Notwithstanding this objection, it is an amusing work, and the interest is increased by the introduction of many celebrated anecdotes of those eventful times. There is an account of the visit of the gifted but unprincipled Duke of Wharton to Sir Robert Walpole, when, under pretence of joining the Government, that accomplished hypocrite deceived the unsuspecting Minister, obtained pos'ession of his plans, and th en hastened to the House to turn his weapons against himself. We also read of the great poet at his villa at Twickenham, and 'his terriole interview with Lady Montagu, that fatal event which " Froze the genial eurient of his soul," when his fervent devotion was repulsed with heartless ridicule, and the glossing feelings of the poet's heart were turned to hatred and despair ; that brief moment changed the character of his life, and infused a bitter ness into all his subsequent writings. It is not in the original portions of the work that its chief interest lies—in the descriptions of the Court, the character of the King and his favourites, and these touching anecdotes of real life, there is far more attraction than in all the hair-breadth perils and escapes of its adventurous heroine. The third volume concludes with an account of the King's death after reading the letter written Qll her death-bed by the unfortunate Sophia Dorothea, who spent more than twenty years in a gloomy prison by her husband's orders, shut off from her family and friends, while he, deaf to the voice of humanity, reigned over a generous people, unquestioned and undisturbed. Truly, it may be said, The King's name is" —no, happily the tim es are changed, hut in th ose days—the King's name was indeed, "a tower of strength."

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII.—The intelligence of the arrival of the West India steamer Tiviot, at South ampton, was announced at Lloyd's by means of the electric telegraph of the South-Western Railway, as early as a quarter before eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning. The letters and papers by the packet were delivered in the City at about five o'clock in the afternoon. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.—The Chevalier Neukomm's oratorio, David, was performed at Exeter•hall on Wednesday. This work was written for, and performed at the Birmingham Festival of 1834. Its greatest strength lies in the choruses, all of which are ably constructed, and some of them contain grand masses of harmony. The author has also shown consummate skill in the management of the instruments and production of orchestral effects. The symphony of wind instruments, which introduces and accom panies the soliloquy of Saul at the commeneement of the second part, is full of beauty, and heightens greatly the ex, pression of the recitative. The finest passage in the oratorio is the chorus of Israelites, ‘, 0 Israel, mourn !"the lamenta tion for the fatal day of Gilboa: it is deeply pathetic. The triumphal march and chorus in the first part, with its clang of warlike instruments, would require a stage. The prin cipal singers were Messrs. Manvers, Allen, and Machin, and Miss Lucombe and Miss Barrett. The oratorio was greatly applauded, and some of the movements were encored. Han del's Solomon is to be performed on the 23d of this month, when Miss Birch will appear for the first time after her long absence on the Contin en t , K K. 9. Southport and Euxtonllaiiway.

THE DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND DINNER. —The anniversary festival of this Institution was held on Wednesday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, under the presi dency of the Duke of Cambridge, whose careful attention to the interests of this charity has been renewed during many s ears. Above 200 gentlemen sat down to dinner, which re -fleeted much credit on the management of the house. The appearance of the hall was much enhanced by a very bril liant assemblage of ladies, who thronged both galleries, and occupied a considerable space on each side of the entrance. On the removal of the cloth, Xni nobis, DI)7111 . 11e, was very effectively chanted. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, Sir I. L. Goldsmid proposed the health of the illus trious Chairman, who, after returning thanks, urged on th e notice of the assembled company the caims of the Theatrical Fund, as affording a benevolent aid to the misfortunes of those in whom the public took much interest, and to whom they were indebted for many happy moments of relaxation. Mr. Harley, as the official representative of the c h ar i ty, re turned thanks in a speech replete with appropriate expres sions of gratitude for past support, and earnest appeals for renewed favour. He feelingly described the benefits deriv able from this source, which had been this year extended to four decayed subscribers, who were, from their neces sities, added to the previous list of recipients. He co i eluded' by a fervent appeal for aid, to counterbalance the t - cess of expenditure which had arisen during the pastlyeeaxr., .u;cli for, applause,aft after a fe a u n in consequence of the additional claims. This d th ito i r) ll and more was r n ou ot tin vb e 'i t ts o ll is le t l et a , se a ftw li c s " t t u r epcuetilvtehde auditory; of subscriptions was read, containing the jesty the Queen, 105/. ; the Duke 'Of Can n i a b n r t i e d s o. of her 2 ; the Ma- Duke of Devonshire, 26/ ss. ; the Duke of B le' et ord, 501 ; the Duke of Beaufort, 20/. ; the Marquis of Lansdowne Marquis of Normanby, 51. ; the Duke of t;a 191.; the Lord Francis Egerton, 10/. ; Lord W.

The first of subscriptions amounted to 71 , 01., exclusive of a legacy of 500/. by the late Mr. Edward I_l alpole, and other subscriptions were expected to be added during the evening. The Chairman was supported by Sir R. Paul Joddrell, Sir I. L. Goldsmid, Hon. Mr. Mildmav, Mr. Alderman Johnson, &c. The musical entertainments were very effective, under the able management of Mr. 'f. Cooke, supported.by Miss R a i n f ort h , M rs. Alfred Shaw, the Misses Williams, Miss Kate Loder, Miss Clara Seyton, Mr. Harrison, Mr. Hatton, Mr. King, and a host of other pro fessionals.

They atve no connexion whatever with any other establishment, in or out of London, and those who desire genuine Cheap Clothing should (to pt.yeent disappointment, /ice.) call or send to 154, Mlnories, or Bti, Aldgate, opposite the Church. N.B. No business transacted at this Establishment from sunset on Friday till sonunset Saturday when business is rec.umed till twelve o'clock, READY MADE. . this Company was yesterday at the .. - )radon Tavern, in compliance with the advertisement, for the purpose of augmenting the capital stock of the Company. by the creation of 4,800 new shares, upon which not more than 141. IGe. per share is to be paid in the 'prepor lions proposed. The meeting was numerously and re spectably attended. Mr. BosANquET was called to the chair at one o'clock, and Mr, DelscaN read the report of the Directors, and the resolutions to be proposed. Mr. Daster. WHITTLE HARVEY congreulated the Shareholders on the prosperous condition of their affairs, as evinced by the report ; but there were one or two matters to which he wished to call their attention. He had heard, ir, reference to their financial position, that they had been borrowing money to the amount of ;10,0001. at various rafts of interest, from five to six Far cent., and that in a few yews the lenders would enforce the re paymea t of the principal. Now, in ref, mice to this question, he should say that tin' Company would derive two ad vantages by the adoption of this report ; one was that they should repay this money, and fur that purpose pro vide the necessary funds by the time they should be de mandtd ; and the other was that they should raise whateve r money they wanted in future antong%4 themselves.—((fear.) Let the Company recollect that the inter, at of 700,000/., at 5 per cent., was 35,0001 per annum; while, if they had raised the money amongst themselves. or, in other words, had bcceme flit ir oa n ere:liters, they could have had the money at four per cent., nide!) would he only 2s,ootoZ a Jeer, the r, by creating a saving of 7,0004 a )tar to themselt es on such portions of the loan as they paid 5 per cent. for, and of course of a still gn-ater saving upon such sums as they paid 6 per cant, for the loan ar, hear.) Ile would now beg to cell the attention of :he meeting to the pesitit tr in which the Compan3 was placed in reference to another proceed= ing. He did not mean to enter upon a review ef the course the Directors had taken in the management of the Cempany's affair: ; that would do for the great meet ing in August twat, by which time Parliament would. in all probability. have to a certain extent declared their des toty—(llear, heat)—and when the Company would be in a position to pronounce their disapprobation or the contrary, as the ease might be, of the progress the Legislature might have made in regard to - them. —(flcer, hear.) But as to the pr. sent position of the Company, he supposed they were pH aware that the Board of Trade had made a report re'fpectine. them that could not be too highly extolled.—(hear, hear.) That report declared in the most unequivocal terms' that they had given their sanction to the extension of the trunk line, by which the Eastern Counties line would become the great trunk line from Shoreditch to the extremity of Scotland.—(Cheers.) But the Cam. bridge and Lincoln- Company had got another Hite in contemplation, which the Board of Trade had reported in favour of, namely the line from Tottenham to Fa rringtion• vrett. Now, if the Eastern Counties Company made an appeal to the Bt and of Trade on the sunieet, he did think they ' had such paramount claims upon the attention of the Beard that they would be heard with attention, and some importance would be attached to their remonstuneas iu favour of the extension of any line they should pro. pose.—(Hear.) Now, he had no hesitation in saying that the line from Tottenham to Farringden-street would 1* a most costly line.—(Hear, him) It was a distance of only seven miles, but it would run through seven miles of garden and brickwork, and would cost, even according to the Company's own e•timate, 800,000/.—(oh, via.) The Board of Trade, in giving their sanction to this line, did not consider that seven miles could be travelled in a very few minutes ; all they thought of a as, that this great line ought to have a terminus in the metropolis. On the other hand, there was a proposition before them for continuing the line from Shoreditch to Finsbury-square, which it was said could be done for about 200,000/., because it would pass through property Which would be comparatively ralueles , . With regard to the Farringdon-street terminus proposition, all he would say was, that in his opinion, of all the superabundant and extravagant propositions that had been heard of during the present railway mania, this would be entitled to take piecedenee.—(Cheers and laughter.) He did think it could not be made for less than a million and a halt of money, taking the difficulties into account ; while if the line were wade by Shoreditch, and the ter minus at Finsbury-square, then Farringdon-street might be reached at. a et mpnratively trifling cost—and therefore he did think that this subject required the best attention of the Board of Trade. However, if the Cam bridge Company persevered, then it would be for this. Company to consider what steps they should take to protect thernaelves —(Year, hear.) A prow,- sition had b ee n b e f ore t h e B oard of Trade for making a line by Blackwall, Stratford, Eppir.g, and Fenchurch-street ; and though the Board had not given this propasitiun their sanction, they had not disapproved of it ; they merely recommended its postponement. He had no reason to suppose that the Cam, bridge Company were not well disposed towards this Company, or that they would not co operate with them; but if they were resolved to follow up the Farringdou-street proposition, then it would be for this Company to consider whether or not they would take up the lilavka all proposition. brat) 11 ith these few observations he would conclude by saying he felt obliged for the kind attenti m a ith which he had been heard.—(Che, - rs.) The CuAttotxx said he had suffered the Hon. Gentle man to continue his observations without interruption. because they wete of great importance and value to the Company; but at the time he should say it would be absolutely necessary to keep strictly to the subject of finance, which was the only one they could discuss at this meeting, according to the Act of Parliament. Mr. PArusoN, in answer to a question from Mr. Guidon assured the meeting that the best possible feel ing existed on the part of the Cambridge Company to wards this Company.—(hear, hear.) Mr. GERMS was proceeding to make some other ob• servations, when The CHAIRMAN said he regretted exceedingly being obliged to interrupt any speaker; but he felt eumpelled to do so in the present instance, the gentleman's remarks being irrelevant to the question before the meeting. He then put the question, when the resolutions were una nimously adopted, and the meeting separated. ---------- NEW BRUNSWICK AND NOVA SCOTIA LAND COMPANY. The adjourned half-yearly General Meeting of the ' Shareholders in the New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Land Company was held yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill; Mr. John Moxon in the chair. The Directors had to wait some time before there was a sufficient number of Proprietors in attendance to con stitute a meeting. The non-attendance, however, was not attributed to the little interest the great body of the Shareholders took in the affairs of the Company, but to the fact that there were several other commercial meetings of an important nature, convened in the City, for the same hour and the same day. The report stated that the suridus sure which had been expended for the purposes of the Company was gradually diminishing. From 1839 to 1844 it had been reduced from 1,622/. 15s. 9d. to 9001. 19s.

The number of purchasers of the Company's lands in 1844, was 36. The whole number of families settled amounted to 143. In the year 1844 the pro vince had produced 1,289 bushels of wheat, 2,083 ditto buck-wheat, 11,306 ditto oats. 178 ditto hurley, 108 ditto rye. 103 ditto Indian corn and peas, 21,714 ditto potatoes, 3,021 ditto beet and turnips, 437 tons of hay, 330 cattle, 63 horses, 297 sheep, and 243 pigs.
