Atwood, Esq., 13, Upper Seymour-street, rortnutn- BRISTOL, FRIDAY.—The half-yearly meeting of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway was held to-day, at the White Lion, George Jones, Esq., the Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The attendance of Proprietors was large. After the CHAIRMAN had adverted to the circumstances connected with the proposal to lease the line to the Midland Counties Railway, and other circumstances, The Secretary, Mr. Fletcher, read the report, which en tered with considerable minuteness into the proceedings of the Company during the past six months. From the fre quent cheers which the statements elicited during the read ing, it was evident that the Proprietors were of opinion that the Directors had done their utmost for the benefit of the Company. The surplus balance being 7,853/., the Directors recom mended a dividend of four per cent. per annum, being 20s. for the 501. shares, and 12s. for the 301. for the half-year, to be paid free of income-tax. This was unanimously agreed to. A balance of 2,974/. 14s. 4d. remains to be applied.to contingencies. . . . _ The following account of the loss of the above ship is ex tracted from advices received at Lloyd's from the Captai (Fawcett):—The Mellish was lost on October 5, on the south side of the North Danger of the Paracels, in a severe typhoon. The ship struck about sixty miles E.N.E., one half of the crew perished at the time the vessel was lost, the remainder of the crew and master took to the boats, and arrived at Pandaran Bay, situated in lat. 11, 35 N. lon. On the 27th October, on being visited by the authorities, the captain urged how much they wished to be sent to Singapore, or to any place where they could get a passage.; they were then informed that they should be sent in fifteen days ; they were afterwards told thirty days, and on the 16th November the captain states that they had altered the time to three months, so that without they ob tained assistance from Singapore, they would be detained there longer. The survivors, amounting to eleven in num ber, were all well on the 16th of November, except two, but received bad food and were scantily clothed. The Chi nese up the country were very hospitable and kind, but the Cochin Chinese quite the reverse, and dirty in the extreme. The authorities had confined them to a fishing village in Pandaran Bay, which is de scribed by the captain as being a filthy place. It was subse quently reported that they would leave about February last, in a Chinese vessel, for Singapore: the reason of their depar• tare being protracted, was stated by the Chinese to be occa sioned by the monsoon, which sets in during the intervening months. For the whole time they were in the boats to the time they reached the shore (22 days), they tasted little, if any, fresh water. 1g the The ,029 f. B tbsil . square, London.

In conformity with the terms of sub scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering to the Shareholders Two New Shares for every Old Share, sub ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the former case, and subject also. to any further call which may be found necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst. Notice is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated.

The number of Directors will now be reduced to ten, but the form o keeping up the Board must be adhered to till the Act for ratifying the amalgamation of the Company with the Bir mingham and Gloucester be obtained. In the meantime the united companies will be managed as provided for by the terms of amalgamation recently agreed to. The business of the lease to the Midland Counties was then entered upon by the reading of the terms of agreement. The CHAIRMAN, after a few explanatory statements, calcu lated to show that the lease was mutually beneficial to the contracting parties, moved a resolution sanctioning the agree. ment, and authorising the Directors to adopt the necessary measures for carrying it into effect. Mr. ACKEN, banker, suggested that an opinion in favour of non-Sunday travelling, as far as practicable, be expressed to the Midland Counties Company. This view was supported by several shareholders, but the matter was left to the Directors.

That the inhabitants of Maldon, having had their attention directed to the formation of a Line of Railway from Maldon to Braintree tat intervals) during_ the last twenty years, by persons unconnected with the trade and interests of the place, whose object has been merely to make a successful speculation,—have hitherto opposed such an undertaking ; but that they are now convinced( from the advances made In other districts, by means of Railways, that it is necessary for the good of Malden and the country supplied from that port, that Ra lway communication with Braintree, via William, should be established. Moved by Mr. PATH], ; seconded by Mr. Timmy FIARRIDANCE. That the several Plans for Railway communication with Maldon now before the public having been well considered, the Merchants, Tradesmen, and Inhabitants of Maldon are convinced the separate and distinct Line, called " The Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway," is the one which should be supported by the Inhabitants of Malden, as being by far the m'st likely to benefit the Town of Malden and Country through which it is proposed to pass and approach. Moved by Mr. RICKARDS ; seconded by Mr. CHARLES lICRRELL. Tim' this meeting views with satisfaction the exertions made to bring the proposed Line fairly before the public, and that it is the de termination of the Inhabitants of Maldon to support it to the utmost of their power, as it is considered that it will be a public benefit as well as a safe investment of capital. Moved by Mr. WiLmstinasT ; seconded by Mr. STEPHEN Caoss. That these resolutions be printed and circulated amongst the Nobility, Members of Parliament, and persona of influence in and connected with the neighbourhood.

A deputation, consisting of the Members' for Birmingham, Mr. Nichol], Lord Sandon, Mr. Cookson, and others, waited upon Sir. Robert Peel, at the Treasury, on Saturday week, to lay before him the injuries the glass manufacturers were cer tain to sustain by the sudden removal of the (laths. The deputation asked for a remission of the duty upon stocks in hand, so as not to compel them to export ; and, secondly, they required a temporary protecting duty upon foreign glass, while adapting themselves to the new circumstances of the trade. Sir Robert Peel, with whom was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Wood, of the Excise, and Sir George Clerk, received the deputation with the utmost courtesy. and listened to the remonstrance with great attention, and in reply to the first request made by the deputation, the fol lowing order has been issued : receiv ` e ` d Ex in c s i t s ru e "The Board have March froin tsh, Lords elB4s. Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury to allow drawbacks Excise-office, on glass on the following conditions : "1. Warehouses at the cost of the manufacturers or dealers must be provided, and being approved by the Ex cise, put under our lock. These warehouses to be at the different manufactories, and in each town where we have a supervision. " 2. That no glass be warehoused excepting under the same regulations as if for export. " 3. That no quantity of crown or German sheet glass, less than 10 cwt., be received at the same time from any in dividual. " 4. That each package be marked with the net and gross weight, and with the name and abode of the depositor. " 5. That the bottle on the manufacturing premises of such of the bottle makers as require it shall be taken account of and warehoused, or secured by the Excise. " ft. That on the repeal of the duty on crown, German sheet, and bottle glass, the quantities so under the Excise locks shall be delivered to the respective owners, precautions being taken to ascertain that such quantities correspond with those deposited. " 7. That so soon as the re-deliveries shall be completed, and the accounts have been examined and certified at the head office, the owners shall receive documents authorising them to claim the sums to which they would have been re spectively entitled by way of drawback on exportation, de ducting 25/. per cent. " 8. That on the sth day of April the stocks of plate-glass, whether in the rough, smoothed, or polished state, be t a k en ; and on all rectangular pieces of 6 inches by 4at the least, andlnot less than 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of is 104. per square foot be allowed, and on such as is po lished and not 1-Bth of an inch in thickness, the sum of 4/. 4s. per cwt. ;if unpolished and under 1-Bth in thickness, no allowance. " A letter, containing full instructions to carry into effect the above regulations, will be forthwith addressed to the several supervisors. " By the Board, " GEORGE BALLARD." To the second request we believe no answer has yet been given, but we rather doubt the success of the application. CURIOUS WILL.—John Moore, Esq., son of Arch bishop Moore, by his will, which was pr ove d i n D octors ' Commons, on Wednesday last, under 300,000/., which is the amount of the personal estate only, has left some interesting specific bequests and directions, of which we give the follow ing:—To Earl Howe he gives his equestrian bronze statue, in remembrance of his attached friend "Old Johnny" (the testator) ; to John Lewis Wy ndh am , Esq., he gives 500/. for r (his messmate), a c"Auldup he fang g wo sy n - n e a t; theto ey J a • llofaytdh g Hyde Parke ; to Spencer de Horsey, Esq., he gives his Reindeer yacht; to Mr. Slater, master of the yacht, 2001. ; to George Cooper, the late master, an annuity of 20/. for his life;* and to Valentine Lewis, the coxswain, a a year.

SUGAR DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—When Sir Robert Peel announced his intention of reducing the sugar duties, he stated that the con sumer would be benefited to the extent of lid. per pound. He surely must have meant that this reduction of price might be expected in the course of time, say next year, when we should be in receipt of large supplies to meet the increased demand, for the reduction of duty proposed by him is rot quite five . faithings per pound. The impor ters have already obtained an advance of 4s. to ss. per cwt. from the lowest point of the market, so that the con sumer will n be able for a considerable time to buy sugar more than a half-penny per pound cheaper. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, March 6, 1845. FOND OF SUGAR. THE AUCTION DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sln,—Being a constant reader of your impartial Journal, I take the liberty of addressing you in the hope that you will give your powerful assistance in making known, and thereby averting, a grievance which the contemplated augmentation of the auction license will effect in districts where employment in that busin• ss is not of every-day occurrence. In this part of the country a considerable proportion of the income of an auctioneer is composed of fees for making inventories and valuations of the goods and effects of persons who have either died, or been seques trated by the Court of Session ; in the former case, for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of legacy duty payable to Government ; and in the latter case, to en able the trustee to make up a correct state of the bank• rupt's affairs. Tradesmen and others have, however, been allowed to perform such duty on payment of a license of lOs.—a sum always miserably inadequate to the important privilege conferred by the license. And now that the expense of an auction license is to be in creased three-fold, the appraising license ought, in all fairness, to be at the same time largely increased. But should that not be done, a manifest advantage will be given to the tradesman over the heavily-taxed auctioneer, who must labour under powerful competition in that de partment of his professional duties, by persons acting as appraisers, many of whom do not take out a license at all. It is thus evident that in small towns and country places, this cause will operate to prevent parties from embarking their money in en auction license, where the field for realising an adequate return is so very much narrowed, and, in a financial point of view, the result will be that the increase in the number of auction licenses, anticipated by the Minister, will not be realised, and, consequently, the revenue arising therefrom will come far short of the estimated sum. I have no doubt that those who now take out the ap praiser's license would net object to its being raised to about 51., and the poorer classes of the community might, by the produce of that duty, be benefited in the remission of taxes on the necessaries of life to the ex tent of nearly 10,0001. per annum. I earnestly hope that the Government will yet attend to this matter, which, from not havin ,, consulted the parties i n t eres t e d, mus t h a ve escaped their notice. I inclose my address for your satisfaction, and remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, Dundee, Feb. 28. AN AUCTIONEER. FRENCH STATISTICS.—A comparative table of the imports into France, during the years 184.3, 1844, and 1845, has just been published. The duties received in January, 1845, amounted to 11,360,029 francs. In 1844, they were only 10,350,169 francs, being 361,000 francs less than the pre ceding year. In January last, the coffee consumed was 10,495 metrical quintals, in 1844 it was 9,655 quintals, and in 1843, 8,659 quintals, showing a progressive increase. Cotton wool is put down in 1845 at 51,328 quintals, in 1844 at 43,927, and in 1843 at 53,213 quintals. The importation of flaxen and hempen thread in 1845 was 10,277 quintals, in 1844,7,54.3, and in 1843 8,721, quintals. There has been a remarkable increase in the introduction of raw cast-iron from 23,932 quintals in 184-3, to 41,115 quintals in 1844, and 58,081 quintals in 1845. In January, 1843, there was received for consumption 5,807 quintals of sesatnum, au oleagenous seed,, in 1844 the quantity was 11,484 quintals, and in 1845, 11,908 quintals. The importation of coal has shown a re markable progression. In January, 1843, it was 668,241 quintals, in 1844, 807,404, and in 1845, 1,241,032 quintals. There has been also an increase in wools. In 1843 the arri vals amounted to 20,126 quintals, in 1845, to 21,008, but in 1844 there were only 14,754 quintals. The increase of duty received was greater in proportion which is to be attributed to the greater quantity of fine wool brought in. The con sumption of colonial sugar in 1843 was 60,807 quintals, in 1844, 66,291, and in 1845, 73,013. But there has been a decrease in foreign sugars. The import of cloths has been this year rather greater than the last, but less than in 1843. These comparisons apply only to the qualities upon which duties have been paid, and not to the gross arrivals. —Galignani. ABOLITION OF THE WINDOW TAXES,-.-Thursday a meeting of the inhabitants of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields was held in the vestry-room, to adopt measures for the repeal of the window-tax. Mr. Pugh. churchwarden, in the chair. Resolutions were passed deprecating the tax, and a committee of nine appointed to co-operate with the other metropolitan parishes on the sulject. At Queen-square Police-court Edward Duckett, a labour ing man, was committed for trial, charged with having stolen a case of surgical instruments from St. George's hospital, from which establishment he had been dismissed for miscon duct in the course of last month. The instruments were taken from the out-patients' room. Two young men, fashionably dressed, named Montague and llaynes, were committed for three months from Marvle bone Police-court, charged with obtaining money by fraudu lent representations. At their lodgings, in King-street, up wards of one hundred letters were found, imploring assistance on the plea that they had obtained lucrative situations, and required a small sum to enable them to enter on their appointments. Many of the nobility and gentry at the west-end had contributed to relieve the supposed necessities of the impostors. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.-1110 total num ber of deaths last week was 1,132, being about 102 above the average. 'The increase is chiefly from diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration. The deaths from these were 404, average 347. The number of deaths froth small-pox was 24 ; and from violence also 24, of which 5 were suicides, and 5 frog burns and scalds. (FURTHER PARTICULARS.) Accounts were received at Lloyd's on Saturday, of the total loss of the above vessel from China to Lon don, which caused considerable uneasiness amongst the relatives of the survivors, and as some apprehen• sion exists, that the crew may be harshly treated by the Cochin Chinese, it will be some satisfaction to such persons to be informed, that in the case of the loss of the John Bannerman from China to Bombay, about nine years since (the particulars of which appeared in this journal) totally lost on the NAV. prong of the Paracels, that her crew, which arrived at a fishing village called Quin-Hong, received at the hands of the Cochin Chinese, considerable kindness, being clothed, fed, and furnished with a passage in a Cochin Chinese man-of-war, to Singapore, and moreover that the Emperor is particularly partial to the Eng lish ; that should he be informed of the arrival of the shipwrecked crew of the Mellish, of which there is no reason to doubt, that every attention which the limited means of a poor and nearly uncivilised nation can afford will be rendered. It will also tend to allay the fears of those interested for the safety of friends or relatives, to be further informed that in the case of the John Bannerman, her crew were detained six weeks at Quin-Hong, but unavoidably so, although in appearances at first unn ecessar ily so , but fully ac counted for afterwards. His Majesty the Emperor of Cochin China also sent a French interpreter to communicate with the officers of the John Banner man, and through him expr esse d hi s s y mpa th y f or th e misfortunes of the officers and crew of that vessel. It may, however, be as well to remark that the crew of the John Bannerman suffered considerable privation for about the first fortnight or three weeks after landing, but no personal injury was inflicted, and much of their privations was occasioned by the extreme poverty of the natives. LETTER, No. I. Co.) Fishing:Vi ( llage, py Padaran Bay, in lat. 11, 35 N. lon., Nov. 16, 1844. To Messrs. Gledstanes and Co. Dear Sirs,—On the 12th inst. I had the mortifica tion of giving you a brief account of the loss of the Mellish, on the south side of the north danger of the Paracels, in a severe typhoon on the sth ult., the said danger bearing, by the reckoning when the ship struck, about sixty miles to the E.N.E. We reached this hay on the 27th, having lost one-half the ship's company :by drowning or want of water. On being visited by the authorities I urged how much we wished to be sent to Singapore, or any place where we might get a .passage there. They informed us we should be sent in fifteen days. A week subse quent the time was lengthened to thirty days ; now they say three months ; so that, without assistance from our own countrymen, our stay here is very pre carious. lam writing to the folks at Singapore, who may lend us a hand. We are quite well now, but indifferently fed and clothed. I manage to get up among the Chinese, who are kind and hospitable. The Cochin Chinese are the reverse, and dirty in the ex treme. On my release you may depend on me losing no time in proving the loss, &c., by my presence in London, with the address of both my mates, and the names of the survivors and casualties, and re main, &c., (Sitned) S. H. FAWCETT. Survivors Mr. Adam Thompson. Mr. John Boy, second mate. Survivors—Henry Soames, J.hn Winchester, John R.

LETTER, No. 11. Fishir g Village, N.W. border of Padaran (or Pharan) Bay, in lat. about 11 35 N., coast of Cochin China, Nor. 16. _ _ To Messrs. Maclain, Fraser, and Co., Singapore. Dear Sirs,—Since writing you, on 13th instant, I have learned with horror that the Cochin Chinese authorities do not intend sending us to Singapore till the latter end of the north-east monsoon, to enable their vessel to get easily back. There are some Chinamen about to sail from a place near to us, whom I have offered to reimburse if they will facilitate my getting away ; this they will net do for fear of the Cochin Government, and I cannot get permission from them. I fear sickness, on bad rice diet, and little or no clothing, if we are detained here so long, will leave very few to tell the tale. Under these circumstances, pray do what you can to get a vessel sent for us from our Government. We are eleven in all, wrecked on sth ult. on Paracels, landed here, twenty-seven hav ing been lost. Half the ship's company at the time, and passengers, not having tasted fresh water, except twice or thrice, for twenty-two days. We are now all but two in good health, and would walk had we shoes, if the authorities would allow us ; but we are confined to one village by their orders, which is a filthy place. I manage, with one of my officers, to get among the Chinese for a better meal (their place is about two miles up the river) in the evening, and a cleaner mat to sleep on. I am fortunate in having saved a blanket, which I smuggle away.' The Chinese are exceedingly kind and hospitable, the Cochin Chinese are the reverse, and filthy in the ex treme ; there is no dependence to be placed on their faith. When we first arrived, they promised to send us on to Singapore in fifteen days. (Signed) J. H. FAWCETT, late of Mellish. LETTER, No. 111. To W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's, London. Singapore, Dec. 24, 1844. Sir,—We have to report the loss of the British vessel Mellish, Captain Fawcett, from China to London, which vessel was wrecked, &c. The Captain and eleven of the crew were detained by the Cochin Chinese, but would likely be sent down to Singapore in February, with one of the Cochin Chinese men of-war. We are, Sir, &c. (Signed) LLOYD'S AGENTS. THE LONDON HOSPITAL.—On Friday a General Court of the Governors of this Hospital was held in the board room, for the purpose of receiving the report of the commit tee, and transacting the general business. L. Currie, Esq., presided. The report, having been read, was unanimously adopted. An authority was given for the sale of 2,0001. por- tion of the funded property in the Three per Cent. Consols, to meet the excess of the expenditure over the fixed income of the last year. The statistical account of the accidents brought to this institution shows that they are much greater than any other hospital in the metropolis. During the last year there were admitted 2,149 in-patients, and 3,952 out patients, making a total of 6,101 ; and for the quarter just ended, 862 in-patients had been discharged, of whom 520 were cured, 270 relieved, and notwithstanding the serious na ture of a great number of the cases, only 72 had terminated fatally. There are at present 318 patients in the house; on the books as out-patients, 2,351. The business of the day having been concluded, thanks were voted to the chairman and other officers, and the Court broke up. FATAL WAGGON ACCIDENT.—On Friday Mr. W r . Carter held an inquest at the Rose and Crown, Riddlesdown, four -horse Surrey, respecting the death of Jeremiah George Weaver, aged twenty, who was the driver o l f as a t, f waggon. On Wednesday whilst proceeding along the road towards G o d stone e the vehicle for the purpose of ascending a steep ) h at I d Croydon, at a steady pace, he was steppi ng from the shaft fromi . ( dlesdown, when, in conseque nce of theslipleryill state road, he missed his footing, an d f e l l under the efore I, o , f he t e h l e .

CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST AN ACCOUCIIEUR —Considerable excitement has been produced by a recent event in the populous parish of Cossey, near Norwich, the seat of Lord Stafford. About eighteen months sinus a Mr. Raymond Gaches, a surgeon, came to reside in the village, having, as we understand, performed a difficult operation upon his Lordship, in which he was successful. About six weeks since he attended a married woman named Jane Mary Lovett, as accoucheur, and delivered her, but she shortly afterwards died. The nurse a: .d another woman present at the birth afterwards attributed the death of the woman to the course pursued by Mr. Gaches ; and after the body had been buried for about six weeks, on their communication. with sonic of the Norwich surgeons, it . was deemed advisable to disinter the corpse, and subject it to a post mortem examin ation ; and Mr. Pilgrim, at the request of different members of the profession, consented to hold an inquest upon it. Messrs. Crosse and Francis were the surgeons who made the examina tion. In their opinion, had the woman been treated properly after the birth, her life might have been saved. Mr. Gaches was in the room during the inquiry, but took little or no part in the proceedings; and the jury, after having heard the evidence, in a few minutes found a verdict of man slaughter against Mr. Gaches. Mr. Gaches said that, if he was wrong in the treatment of the deceased, it had been through error, and not by wilful neglect. The coroner issued his warrant for his apprehension, and fully committed him for trial at the approaching assizes. The proceedings were not over till very late, and Mr. Gaches was placed for the night in the custody of police inspector Bassett, but about three o'clock in the morning he made his escape. A full description of his person has since been published, with an offer of 5/. for his apprehension. He is described as being 45 years of age, five feet seven inches high, slender, dark complexion, hair black and partly grey, high cheek bones, and whiskers shaved in a line with the ear. He has left a wife and child behind him. The deceased has bad other children, and we have been informed that the surgeon who attended her in her previous accouchement said, if she had any more children she would not survive it.—Norwich Post. HORRIBLE OUTR AWL—A RURAL ANIUSIMENT.--. The parish of Foulsham, Norfolk, has for several days been thrown into an excited state, in consequence of a most brutal outrage committed upon the person of an old man, between 70 and 80 years of age, named Amiss. Ile resided at Foulsham, and was much addicted to drinking. On the morning of the 21st of February he was enticed into a beer house in Foulsham, kept by Benjamin Clitheros, where several of his pot companions were drinking together ; they had sent for a large quantity of jalop, and put the same into some beer, which they made the old man drink. He was soon in a very bad state. His com panions obtained music, dancing commenced, while the old man, being in a state of stupor, knew nothing that was going on, while the parties in the room hold him up to ridicule and pulled hi:u about. Not satisfied with this, they stripped him of his clothes, and made him dance naked in the presence of females. In this naked state he was pulled into a large fire, and held there till he was so injured that he was unable to walk or stand. Ile was seriously burned in b m u a i n n y i n p g a a rt n s d o l f il his b h c e el w y . , as a l n a d i d w o l n i e n a b in ri c a k l fl i /p r l : s : h s e t r a e t e frown l e re mained all night; but before this he was put on a wheel barrow, and one of the party exclaimed, "Let's turn the old beggar over," which was done. He was not able to reach his ning, when he ss when he died.

The ewe was in lamb at the time, and Walker proposed to save the produce, which was pronounced by Mr. Trimming ham to be a work of impossibility. The young man, how ever, went to work in a skilful manner, and succeeded in the operation, bringing into being two fine lambs, both of which are now living and doing well.—Doncaster Gazette.
