Deposit, 11. 10s. per Share. e proposed by this Company commences at Cowley bridge .tt the vicinity of the city of Exeter, unitifig at that pitoint with the Bristol and Exeter Line, traverses the centre of the cetlnty of Devon, and the great mining district of Cornwall to the 1 " 1, et Truro, whence it takes a southerly direction to, and ter. bkihates at, the port of Falmouth. 'The line is integral between Its termini, and will, by means of the Bristol and Exeter and the Great Western Railways, connect t he Yon of Falmouth and the western counties with th‘ metropolis and the chief manufacturing towns in the north of England. The line was surveyed, at a great expense, in 1838, by the Lon -4°o. Salisbury, Exeter, and Falmouth Railway Company, the pro- Meters of which applied to Parliament in the session of 1837 for an Act of incorporation, which had, after a protracted and search. 1118 investigation, the sanction and report of a Committee of the House et Commons in its favour. The present Company has, by an arrangement with the Share welders of the former, acquired the valuable plans, sections, and Other documentary evidence in support of the line, and it is thus enabled to preoenti an undertaking sanctioned by a Committee of 'we Legislature --a feature which distinguishes it from all the rail.. • Ways of recent projection. The notices and deposits of plans required by the Standing Or. dery of the Houses of Lords and Commons have been perfected. A deposit of 11. 10s. per share to be paid to the account of the Acting Committee with the Bankers of the Company upon appro. Dilation. But in accordance with the arrangement entered into With'the Shareholders in the London, Salisbury, Exeter, and Fal- Mouth Railway Company, their Shares will be recognised on the Payment of ss. per share, part of the deposit, and the further sum of 11. per share will entitle the bolder to a certificate in the pre sent Company, representing a deposit of 11. 10s. ; the Subscribers' elleeetnent and Parliamentary contract being previously executed. In the event of this undertaking not receiving the sanction of the Legislature, the Parliamentary deposit of 1/. per share will be returned to the Subscribers without any deduction. No application fb r shams can be attended to, unless made in the &Bowing form:— To the PROVISIONAL COMMITT' , .E of the GREAT WESTERN and CORNWALL JUNCTION RAILWAY.

Quinquerudal Meeting there es as added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cei.t. on the sums paid, and a bonus of fire per cent. to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual i tere,t. For the convenience of parties wishing to minus for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a pers to assure hts life for X 1,00.1 on the im mediate payment of the premium for £5OO only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of £lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an Immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall Pave been liquidated before the claims arise.

BY THE HALF PREMIUM PLAN only one.half of the first seven years' premium is required, the other half being pay able at the convenience of the assured; thus allowing a Policy to be continued for seven years at one-half of the usual rate, or to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice, and entitling the assured, seven years hence, when loss of health may prevent him from affecting a new Assurance, to continue a Policy at a rate of premium applicable to an age seven years younger.

The chair was taken by Mr. O'Neill Daunt. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting, con fining his observations to the threatened concordat be tween his Holiness the Pope and the English Govern ment, which he denounced in the most emphatic terms, and declared his conviction that any rescript, having reference to such a subject, would be received by the Irish people as so much waste paper.—(Cheers.) The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last day's proceedings, and acknowledged the receipt of se veral remittances, Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose and moved the marked thanks of the Association to Messrs. Mackey and Molloy for their gratuitous 'yxertions in conducting the recent re gistration of the city of Dublin, and likewise to the Learned Gentleman who attended the registration throughout the country generally, on the part of the Association. The Hon. Gentleman then went into some statistics for the purpose of showing that, at the last re gistry sessions the repealers bad gained considerably on their epponents, and urged on the people the neces sity of further exertion. It was idle, he said, to ex pect that the Legislature would confer on them a better registration system than that at present existing, and they ought, therefore, to avail themselves of the means within their reach towards achieving the regeneration of their country. At the next election the people of Ire land would have to dispose of several seats in Parliament. The number of Members at present representing repeal principles was quite inadequate to the state of feeling which prevailed. He would call on those Members, who, although they were repealers, yet remained pas sive, to come forward and give effective and practical aid in working that cause of which they were but the nominal supporters, or they would have to render an account to their constituents when the proper time should arrive. They should imitate the generous and disinterested exertions of Mr. Hutchinson. The alter native they had to propose to candidates at the next election would be—if repealers, a free and gratuitous return ; if anti-repealers, a strenuous opposition and all its accompanying expenses. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by submitting his mot'on to the meeting. Mr. GRATTAN, M.P., seconded the motion in a lengthened address, in the course of which he pronounced the intrigues at present being carried on between the Pope and the British Government as a base conspiracy against the Catholic as well as Protestant, and that the object of them was to poison the mind of his Holiness, and create, if possible, an enmity between him and the people of Ireland. The SECRETARY announced the receipt of 401. from Melbourne, New South Wales, and read a communica tion which accompanied the remittance. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having given notice that Mr. O'Hea would, on the next day of meeting, take a review of the proceedings of the Association for the past year, announced the rent for the week, 1781. 16s. The meeting then adjourned. RIBBONISM IN SLIGO. The Sligo Champion, after noticing the successful exertions of Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association to put down ribbonism in that district, laments that new attempts have been made to revive the pernicious system, That journal continues— " We have been furnished with the pass-words for the present quarter, and we think it right to publish them ; first, to show the persons who are connected with the society that all their secrets are known ; and, secondly, to deter them from identifying themselves with a system which must end in their degradation and ruin. The following are the signs for the present quarter:— " Question: The days are on the decline?' " Answer: So are the enemies of Ireland.' " Question: ' Will Ireland get her rights?' " Answer: She cannot be denied.' " When two persons connected with the Ribbon So ciety dispute, without knowing each other, should a third person, belonging to the body, be present, he interferes, and says, Don't be unreasonable;' to which the answer is, I never was otherwise.' When parties are out at night, and want to recognise each other, one observes, The night appears cloudy;' and the reply is, Yes, the clouds appear dull' Now, should this paragraph ever meet the eye of a ribbonman, we ask him, must he not be mad to adhere to a system which is so well known? The Rev. Malachi Brenan, and his colleague, the Rev. Mr. Noon, are doing all they can to put down ribbonism in their parish." MURDER IN ROSCOMMON. The Roscommon Journal says:—" A most brutal and inhuman murder was perpetrated a few days since mid way between this town and Strokestown. The victim was a well conducted, industrious man of the name of Patrick Shiel, whose only offence was,having advanced twopence per barrel in the price of corn in that locality, in which he trafficked, and disposed of in Longford." MURDER IN KERRY. The Tralee Chronicle contains the following :—" On the night of Saturday last, one of those barbarous crimes which are the fruit of intemperance, took place near O'Dorney. It appeared from the facts as detailed in evi dence upon the inquest, that a quarrel took place between two brothers, named Cornelius Murphy and John Murphy, while labouring under the effects of intoxica tion. John Murphy was urging his brother to go home, and on his refusing he struck him a blow on the head, on which Cornelius stabbed him with a penknife in differ ent parts of the body. John Murphy shortly after ex pired. The jury found a verdict of • Died of wounds inflicted by Cornelius Murphy,' who has not as yet been detected." " A MAN KILLED IN A FACTION FIGHT.—At Sneem fair on the 15th, a man named Sullivan, who it is said, commenced the affray, was killed by a person named Dwyre. The presence of the police restrained the belli gerents until the close of the day, when they availed themselves of the unlucky opportunity of coming into deadly contact with each other. Dwyre was arrested by the Sneem police that night, and immediately after an infuriated party of the friends of the deceased arrived at his house, and would have, in all probability, taken sum mary vengeance, were they not anticipated by the vigi lance of the police. The deceased, it appears, was a pledge-breaker." THE REGISTRIES. At the city of Waterford registry, on Friday, the fol lowing were admitted :—Liberals, 27 ; Conserva tives, 10.

TEMPORARY OFFICES-30, Bucklersbury. This Association is formed for the purpose of constructing an Avenue or Arcade, commencing in Lothbury at the end of Barth°. lomew-lane opposite the Northern Entrance of the Royal Exchange, and terminating at the corner of Moorgate.atreet, with a branch to Finsbury-circus. A project of this description has long engaged the attention of moons taking an active interest in the improvement of the City of London, and Plane have been suggested for erecting buildings suit able for Offices, Counting-houses, Shops, and Dwelling-houses, forming an Approach, now become most desirable, to that magni fl. cent edifice the Royal Exchange. The alterations effected of late years, with no unsparing hand, have aided greatly to the splendour and attraction of the Metropo. lis, and essentially contributed to the health and comfort of the inhabitants. Many of these improvements have been effected by the intervention of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the Corporation of the City of London, and different local authorities, whilst some are the result of individual enterprise and public spirit. The ex v•eoit ney of carrying out further improvements in addi tion to those now in progress cannot be doubted, and more especially if at the same time that object can be effected by a safe and profit able investment for the capital required. _ . The gradual substitution of improved thoroughfares for the nar. row, unhealthy, and inconvenient courts and alleys which still abound in the heart of the City, and nowhere more than in this immediate neighbourhood, has been checked or suspended from an exaggerated notion of the value of the property it would be neces. sary to re-model. A careful inquiry, founded upon the experience of the great un dertakings already so ably carried out, has convinced the Commit tee that the value of all descriptions of property in the districts through which it is intended the Gresham Avenue shall be formed, will be considerably improved. It has been determined, therefore, to form an Avenue or Arcade, to be called "The Gresham Avenue," affording a light, well-ven tilated, commodious, and handsome covered approach from Lon. don-wall to the Bank of England, Royal Exchange, Lloyd's, the Stock Exchange, and generally to the central parts of the City. The surveys and estimates made at different periods by eminent surveyors have been recently revised and carefully re-considered, leaving no doubt that the whole can be completed for a sum not exceeding 300,000/., and that this outlay will yield a gross rental of 27,6001., or about 9 per cent. ; so that, after deducting 20 per cent. for repairs, non.occupancy, and contingencies, there will re main a nett income of 22,080/. per annum. The reasonable ex pectation of this result has been fully attested by gentlemen well versed in all that relates to property of this description. An Act will be applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament, for which the necessary notices have been given ; and ftom the friendly disposition evinced by the members of the Corporation, and all parties whom it has hitherto been possible to consult, the Bill may be expected to pass without material opposition. For the purpose of raising the capital of 300,000/. it is proposed to issue 3,000 shares of 1001. each, upon which a deposit of 108. per share is to be immediately paid, being the extent of the sum al lowed to be received, under the Joint-Stock Companies' Act, pre. vious to complete registration. The remainder to be paid at such times as the Board of Management may appoint, one month's no. tice being previously given. On the Act of Parliament being ob. tained, each subscriber will be required to nominate a good and insurable life, not exceeding 20, nor less than 5 years of age. A subscriber will not be limited to one nomination, provided not more than five shares are dependent upon any one life ; the shares to be at all times transferable. Upon the death of the nominee, double the sum, or 2001. for every 1001. will be paid to the subscriber, or his representatives, to be secured by life assurance. The Committee is in a position to effect arrangements with cer tain Life Assurance Offices, and it has been ascertained that the whole amount necessary to be assured, being 500,0001., can he se cured at an aggregate premium not exceeding 255. per cent.. or 6,2501., which will leave a nett annual income of upwards of 16,0001. for division amongst the existing proprietors. This division will be made by way of bonus, the first at the ex. piration of seven years from the passing of the Act of Parliament, and subsequently every five years. As soon as the number of out. standing shares, by the death of the nominees, shall fall to within 500, the whole property of the Association to be vested in and di. vided amongst the holders of them. The foltowing statement will serve as an illustration of the first five years' bonus after the undertaking is completed : Gross Income Deduct for Repairs, Non.oecupancy, Management, and all other Contingencies, 20 per cent 5,520 Premium at 25r. per cent. for assuring 500,000/ 6,250 11,770 First Year's Surplus Interest on 15,8301., at 3 per cent. 475 Second Year's nett Income 15,830 22,555 Deduct premium en 496,0001., reduced by dcathr' 6,200 16,355 Second Year's Surplus Interest on 32,1851. at 3 per cent. ... 965 Third Year's mett Income 32,185 23,095 Dedlle Qini um on 492,0001., further reduced by Beat , Third Year's Surplus... Interest on 40,0501. at 3 per cent. Third Year's nett Income 49,060 23,552 Deduct premium on 488,000/., further reduced by deaths• 6,100 17,452 Fourth Year's Surplus Interest on 66,5321. at 3 per cent. Fourth Year's nett Income 66,532 24,076 Deduct premium en 484,0001., further reduced by deaths' 6,050 16,026 Fifth Year's Surplus ...... 84,558 This sum divided amongst the holders of the ''' 2,900 remaining shares will allow nearly 301. for each 100/. share, or 6 per cent. per annum, whilst double the amount of capital advanced will be secured to the subscriber in the event of his not participating in the ultimate division of the property. Favourable as these results are, they by no means comprise all the benefits that may be expected ; for the surplus or bonus fund must necessarily increase at every subsequent division, in conse. quence of the insurance premiums becoming less, and the constant diminution in the number of lives ; it is obvious, therefore, that the bonus to which each existing share will be entitled must be constantly increasing, whilst the proprietors of the last 500 remaining shares will divide the whole of the property. The holders of shares whose nominees have previously died re ceiving not only such quinquennial bonuses as they may have be. come entitled to, but also double the amount of the capital origi. nally subscribed by them. So soon as two-thirds of the capital is subscribed for, the Com mittee to be at liberty to proceed in carrying out the objects of the undertaking. Prospectuses may be had, and plans may be seen, on application to the solicitors, Messrs. Bischoff and Coxe ; or at the temporary Offices, 30, Bucklersbury. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

OPINIIIONS OF TOO PROM We regard the work before us,'' The Silent Friend,' as a work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of the Medical protession, for what reason we are at a lout o know. We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend, but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages." Age and Argus. " The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to those who are apprehensive of entering the marriage state, cannot fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

ACCIDENT ON THBNEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAIL WAY.—The course of this line has been suddenly inter rupted by the falling in of the tunnel between the Riding mill and Corbridge-stations. It appears the Com pany were engaged in widening the tunnels in order to form a double line of railway, it having been originally made single in this part, and the props put in having been insufficient to support the superincumbent mass, it fell in suddenly on Saturday last, only a few minutes after the passage of a train. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the injury done to the works is so great as com pletely to interrupt the traffic on the line. In conse quence, the trains from Newcastle to Carlisle now stop at the Riding•mill-station, where the passengers are transferred to omnibuses, and luggage to waggons, in which they are conveyed by the turnpike-road to the Cor bridge-station, where they again get upon the line. Pas sengers and goods from Carlisle to Newcastle leave the line at Corbridge and join it again at Riding-mill. The accident, as a matter of course, is causing great incon venience to the railway Company, and somo time must elapse ere the line can be again opened throughout. GREAT SA XHAM FIRES.—On Saturday last, the prisoners Jeremiah Head and William Martin were ex amined before the Rev. S. H. Alderson and J. H. Ileigham, Esq., charged with setting fire to three stacks belonging to Mr. Samuel Silverston, farmer, of that parish, on the night of the 14th of November last, and both prisoners were fully committed for trial to the next assizes.—lpswich Express. On Tuesday night an open boat, containing seventy nine tubs of spirits, lying ashore on the Maplin Sand, was seized by the officers of the Crouch river coast guard station, and convoyed to the Custom-house, Maldon, by the Onyx revenue cruiser ; the smugglers, owing, it is supposed to their having missed their course in the fog, had abandoned their cargo, taking with them the oars, sails, &e., of the boat.—Essex Herald.
