At a numerous ➢IEETING of LANDOWNERS, LEASE HOLDERS, and OCCUPIERS of PROPERTY through which it is intended the ab , we Railways should pass, held on Thursday, the 16th day of January instant, at the Horns' Tavern, Kennington, in the county of Surrey, WILLIAM WILES, Esq. (Churchwarden of the parish of Lambeth), _ in the Chair, It was resolved—That this Meeting, consisting of Landowners, Leaseholders, and Occupiers of Property upon and in the neighbour hood of the proposed extension Lines of the South-Western and South-Eastern Rail ways to Hungerford and Waterloo Bridges, is of opinion that such lines will occasion serious injury, not only to the owners of property through which they arc intended to pass, and of all property adjacent thereto, but also to the occupiers and inhabi tants of the neighbourhood, without producing any corresponding advantage to the public at large ; That the introduction of a line of railway, supported upon arches, through a neighbourhood so densely populated, cannot fail to be most detrimental to the morals and comfort of the inhabitants, especially of the poorer classes, and must necessarily be to the last degree in jurious to the trade of the district through which it passes. (Signed) WILLIAM WILES, Chalrman.l A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then unanimously carried. SOUTH-WESTERN AND SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAYS EX. TENSION to HUNGERFORD and WATERLOO BRIDGES. We do hereby give notice, that, in pursuance of the above Reso lution, proper petitions to the Legislature, for protection and redress ; to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, for his support to his lessees and tenants, by a continuance of his dissent to the above pro jects ; and to the Lords of the different Manors, the lands of which are to be affected ; are in preparation, and will be submitted imme diately to the different parties for their approval and signature, em bracing two objects First, To prevent, if possible, the said Railway Bills passing into a law, on the ground that there really is no such probable benefit to be derived from, them, as to warrant the destruction or private property in the way proposed. Secondly, If they should pass, to obtain in the Committee of the Houses of Parliament proper clauses for compelling the Railway Pro prietors to take the land on each side of the proposed lines to a cer tain extent, and to give proper compensation for all property affected by them, whether taken or not. WILLIAM WITHALL, 7, Parliament-street. HENRY HARPUR, Kennington-cross. DIREUT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY'S OFFICES, 64, MOORGATE-STREET, London, Jau. 18, 1845. TO THE EDITOR OF " THE SUN." I Sir,—The interest which you evince in Railway matters, induces me to take the earliest opportunity afforded, of making publicly a brief commentary on, or rather correction of, a passage in the leading article of the "Railway Times" of to-day, devoted to a dis cussion of the merits of the Lines to York. This article, although written generally in a courteous spirit towards the Direct Northern Line, has the following sentence :—" The Line, it seems, is to join the Great Northern a mile and a half beyond the City of York, for the purpose of avoiding deten tion —a mighty convenience this to the :aid City of York, which is to be so greatly benefited by the Line!" lam aware that this remark has, in all probability, arisen from the language of the statement recently put forth by this Board of the " case and merits of the Line," which, on my attention being now brought to it, is not specific on this point, for, after stating that the Line will reduce the distance between London and York to 176; miles, and that collision with the traffic of the York and North Midland Railway is avoided by carrying the line by a bridge over that Rail way, it has certainly been omitted to state the fact, that the conve nience of York City has been duly provided for by the intended for mation of a New Station close to the existing turnpike-road at Mickle gate. This station, which has always been part of the plan, "is in fact a material feature in it, in order to avoid the detention and confUsion which would otherwise occur at York, from the use of the present station there, with Its other multifarious traffic. The object of the Junction with the Great North of England Railway, at the distance of a mile and a half from the City of York, is to carry on in tke most direct manner the Northern and Scotch traffic. I have forwarded this correction to the editor of the " Railway Times," but as the same cannot appear in that paper until next week, lam desirous immediately to obviate the impression which the article in question must otherwise convey to the public, and, there fore, I shall be obliged by your inserting this in your paper of to-day. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, WILLIAM AAISINCK, Secretary. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON. Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament.

On the morning of Saturday last intelligenc, reached Carnarvon, that a large ship had, on the pre vious night, during the awful gale that was then raging, gone to pieces in the bay. Immediately upon receiving the information, J. Hughes, Esq., Comp troller of Customs, and the officers under him, manned the Queen's boat and proceeded to the spot, when, V.7f regret to say, they found the report to be too true Pieces of the wreck were strewn along the beach foi miles, the entire shore between Abermenai and Lland dwyn exhibiting tokens of the disaster, amongst which were spars, stores,seamen's chests, and n um blerless frag ments of furniture and materials. There was also seen a large long-boat, keel up, which when turned over was found to have in it another boat or pinnace, but there was no name on either. Th ere were also on the shore the larboard and starboard quarters of the ship, with quarter galleries, chains, and lanyards, appa rently cut with an axe. Nothing else material has been picked up, except .a cat-head and the figure head; but every exertion, we learn, is being made by Mr. Edwards, postmaster, to save everything be longing to the ill-fated vessel as it reaches the shore. It is scarcely possible for a wreck to be more fatally complete. From the name on the medicine chest and other sources we learn that the vessel was called the William Turner, belonging to Belfast, 488 tons register, Geo. Evans, master, and that she was homeward bound from Ichabee to Liverpool, with a cargo of guano,which Is entirely lost, not a vestige of it remaining. It is our painful duty to add that not one creature escaped alive. What may have been the number of human beings who perished on this occasion we have no means of knowing, and it will probably be some time before the truth will be accurately ascertained. The crew would most probably amount to from sixteen to twenty in dividuals, including the master ; and there might have been passengers, as well as the complement of hands belonging to the ship. One of the bodies, a lad about fifteen years of age, dressed in sailors' clothes, and deeply pitted with the small-pox, was washed ashore on Monday, near Llanddwyn, and we shall, most likely, hear of the remainder in a few days. The keel, and part of the hull of the ship (visible from Lland dwyn) are on the spitof the South Bank, in about four to five feet of water, at the lowest ebb, which warrants the assumption that the vessel must have struck sometime about five or six o'clock on Friday evening. The wind at that time was from the south-west blowing a hard gale. The pilots at Llanddwyn, and the people at Lord Newborough's Fort, and at Abermenai, neither heard nor saw any thing until the following morning, which is remark able, for the weather was not very thick, neither was it dark at five o'clock on Friday, so that the ship might have been seen for miles, ere she struck on the bank. It is useless to form conjectures as to the cause of this disaster, and the course of the ship into the Bay. Whether the captain mistook Bardsey Light for the South Stack or the Skerries, and, there fore, steered accordingly, or whether the ship had previously become unmanageable, or had been swept down at anchors, is a matter which can never be ascertained. One thing is certain, that the gale on Friday night was not from a quarter which would cause disasters, and drive vessels into Carnarvon Bay under ordinary circumstances, therefore some other reason must be assigned for the unfortunate and melancholy catastrophe. FURTHER. PARTICULARS. One of the crew of the Eliza Scotland, which vessel sailed from Icliaboe before the William Turner, and arrived at Limeri c k on th e 4th , came h ere on Wed nesday, by the Dolphin steamer, and states that the William Turner must have had about 30 people on board. A bible has been cast ashore, in a very mutilated condition, in which is the following address :—" John Nicholls's book, given him by the Rev. C. Grinfell Nicklay, April the 29th, 1842. The following communication relative to this wreck has been forwarded to the Rev. T. Thomas, vicar of this parish, and by him kindly forwarded to us, in order that public attention may be drawn to the de scription : ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

OBSERVER.—It may be conceded as a favour ableuceosuotne o d f , a the s savi n savings-banks, exhibitings. a t a h n e k s r , indicati on o f th e r i s i ng prosperity of the country that the purchas es o f t h e Government brokers on ac resources u a r feature o t u f rteh the not to he middle, questioned, and we may truly say, no small portion of the lower classes. In all districts of the United Kingdom where savings-banks are now formed (and the establishment of other similar most excellent institutions is in rapid progression), the deposits are, we believe, without ex - ception, in i a ratio far e xcee di ng th e w ithd rawa l s . When, too, it s recollected that those gradual accu mulations of resources, the fruits of honest and per severing industry, are periodically transferred to the Commissioners for the Savings Banks, and by them laid out in the purchase of Stock, not much wonder need be excited at the present high values paid for the Public Securities. And, notwith standing the " Reduced" Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have scarcely been so firm this week as previ ously, owing to some sales for temporary purp o se s , yet, at the termination of business yesterday after noon, a value equal to 4i4 per cent. above par was most willingly p a id. If , as i t i s very currently believed, the Chancellor of the Exchequer intends to attempt a reduction of the Three per Cents. Reduced in the courss of the forthcoming session of Parlia ment, how fortified will he be by the result of the last conversion. Figures speak for themselves. At about the period when it was pretty well known that Go vernment intended to reduce the Three-and- a-Half per Cents. to the present rate of interest their quota tion was about 102. For some time past—say from the commencement of the present year—the Three and-a-Quarter per Cent. Annuities have reached within a fraction of 4i- per cent. above par. Among the more prominent articles of foreign pro duce imported into this country, and which may, with the utmost truth, be said to be interwoven with the domestic economy of the mass of the population of the United Kingdom, is that of tea. In the more distant ports of Great Britain—in Liverpool—in Bristol, &c., a movement has long since been made to impress upon her Majesty's Ministers the policy —nay, the absolute nesessity—of an important reduction in the duties upon the leaf. At the eleventh hour the influential merchants connected with the trade to India and China have held a meeting—a private one, to which the trade only were invited—at the Jerusalem Coffee house, and at which there was a pretty full attendance. The resolutions passed were in accordance with those which have previously been sanctioned in the pro vinces. But in the opinion of many, it would have been much the wisest course to have called a public meeting on the subject, and then a memorial to the Prime Minister would have received the signa tures of the mass of the tea-drinking public of the City and elsewhere, in favour of the concession,which is asked for on the part of her Majesty's sub:ects. If a reduction of the duty to is. the pound were to be made, it is the opinion of competent judges and of practical men, that, with the rising prosperity of this country, the consumption would be so far increased, as to leave but a small deficit in the duty under this item of revenue, at the end of two, or at the utmost of three years. An immense boon would thus be yielded to the poorer classes, and golden opinions be formed of the administration of Sir Robert Peel, under which many important concessions have been already made to popular feelings, by the new tariff. Such is the competition of the traders now, that were the duty to be lowered to the point referred to, i. e., ls. per pound on teas all round, the millions wou ld h ave the full benefit of the reduction of the duty. As so much is said and written upon the eve of the new Parliamentary campaign, relative to conflicting claims for a reduction of duties, it is very fairly a matter to bring prominently before the attention of every patriotic Member of the House (who, without being wedded to particular crotchets, or trammelled by particular interests, sincerely desire the welfare of his country). How great might be the advantage of simplifying our tariff, by striking off a multitude of minor articles, which bring but an unimportant, sum in the aggregate towards the revenue, and yet lead to an enormous expense in collection relatively to pro ductiveness ? Thus, about five hundred articles could be struck off, to the great relief of trade, and with a loss of only about half a million sterling.

He was a man about five feet six inches high, dark hair, a wart on the first finger on the right hand, and one on the left eye-lid, and a thick bottom lip. If there is such a person found, I would be glad if you would have the kindness to write to me, for his wife is in a distracted state of mind.

LINES.—A report having gone abroad that the London and Birmingham will not oppose the London and York, we can state, on the best authority, their deter m i na ti an to do so.—.Fierapath's Journal. REVENUE.—It now appears that the traffic of the last six months of 1844, on the thirty•eight principal rail ways of Great Britain, amounts to three millions and a quarter or more—exactly 3,264,4501. This traffic has been carried on 1,522 miles of railway, and 234 miles of branch lines, making in all 1,756 miles. This revenue is 450,0001. more than the corresponding half of last year. It is chiefly owing to the improvement in the trade of the country, and only slightly to the increase in ex tent of lines opened to the public. It represents an im provement of nearly ten millions in the value of the railways of Great Britain since the commencement of 1844. This revenue amounts to about 4,0001. per mile per annum, of which let us take 1,6001. for working expenses, and we have 2,4001. per mile per annum for dividend, in dicating a market value of 48,0001. per mile at twenty years' purchase. The total s u m available this half-year for interest and dividends will be about two millions, giving, for the value of all the important lines of the country, at twenty years' purchase, a sum of 80,000,000/. But as many of the lines are worth more than twenty years' purchase, and as many small lines are not in cluded in this estimate, while some are in course of construction and not open for traffic, it may be near the truth to say that at the commencement of 1845 we start with a national property in railways worth not less than one hundred millions.—Railway Chronicle. FRENCH LINES.—The surveys have commenced with activity on the Boulogne line. It is decided that only one line of rails shall be laid down at first, although the land will be purchased, and the works executed for two. Within two years it will be opened. The Rouen Railway produced, during the past year, 256,1401 ; and the Orleans, for the same period, 263,9701. The two . . , Versailles companies have come to terms to amalgamate and demand the concession of the line from Versailles to Chartres, and a new company will be formed ; th e ac t ua l shares of ! the two will be exchanged, on certain terms, for shares in the new company.—Railway Chronicle. Several of the brokers connected with the provincial Shares-markets have issued their annual circulars, and these disclose some useful statistics, showing the progress of the majority of lines in full operation. The circular published by Mr. Greaves, of Liverpool, states that the total increase in the traffic of twenty-two railways for the six months just ended, compared with the corres ponding period of last year, has not been less than 321,4021., the only decrease being that of 160/. on the Glasgow and Greenock line. The particulars of the increase are as follows:—" Birmingham and Gloucester, 19,9911.; Chester and Birkenhead, 2,4511; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 2,752/.; Glasgow, Paisley, and Ayr, 6,631/.; Grand Junction, 14,8441; Great North of Eng land, 10,752/. ; Great Western, 61,5807; Liverpool and Manchester, 19,7251; London and Birmingham, 18,4131.; London and Brighton, 15,912/.; London and Croydon, 5,126/ ; London and South Western, 6,6901; Munches te,Kondqiirmingham, 10,8871; Manchester, Bolton, and 8 . 4/ 4 4;9 , 04 Manchester and Leeds, 36,099/. ; Midland Qv't I. : , 18771; Newcastle and Carlisle, 8,2361 ; eT) •,,, Al s . 16,489/ ; Preston and Wyre, 2,964/. ; She eltatitit:Manchester, 5,084/ ; Ulster, 1,283/. ; and I`efl6ltiti Noith Midland, 10,5231." , : y • fig.ll,,,Qf Liverpool, in his circular, takes a coin ' Aktic4rty of the oldest and most important rad - Otiikh.ft statement gives an increase of value of „ss., . ,`-clifring the last year, of 28,695,4791. over the 4 4 , „.....coapital laid out, the former being 85,554,081/, 'aipttAire 'is itbk 56,858,602/. It appears also, from the same document, that the only railways which have fallen in price are the London and Birmingham, and the Glas gow, Paisley, and Greenock. The Birmingham and Gloucester ; Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock, and Ayr ; Great North of England ; Newcastle and Darlington ; Sheffield and Manchester ; and York and North Mid land, have risen above 50 per cent. in their value during the same period. The highest prices of Birmingham shares were those current in the month of January, when quotations ranged from 237 to 243; and the lowest those current in the month of October last, when the differences between the Birmingham and Grand Junction Companies seemed likely to produce strong opposition on certain branch lines brought before the public. In that month they fluctuated between 216 and 212. a large package n y l e l a t r O , RESS. During the last week of the: d Custom-horse, jusp from the United Miss JANE PORTER, _ arrived at the London the Lord Mayor, from the Mayor of departed year, States, consignedt a handsome arm-chair, made in New York, containin g orde order of the literary inhabitants :—" T o that city, by Miss Jane Porter, the English authoress, be presented to as a testimony of the high a n d respectful admiration they tertain for one to whose pen the=ir cou n t ry h o ld s th en 'Neff indebted for some of the purest, noblest, and most delightfully imaginative productions in the wide range of British literature—her name having spread over the length and breadth of the land, and her works found, gracing alike the abodes of the wealthy and the humble dwellings of the poor." Such are a few of the commenc ing lines of " the address " that accompanied this dis tinguished tribute to talents so faithfully directed. The address is elegantly written on white vellum, with many signatures, at the head of which is that of the Hon. John Harper, the Mayor of New York ; then follow many others, amongst which are those of several publishers and booksellers eminent in the city ; and it cannot but be supposed that the now venerable authoress should fcel much gratification in the sentiment of a present so appropriate to her ago and her yet occasional vocation. • THE SUN is Published .EVERY MORNING at FIVE O'CLOCK, in Time or the EARLY TRAINS and TOWN DELIVERY ; a SECOND EDITION (Evening Sun) is Published in Time for the AFTERNooN TRAm a q and a THIRD EDITION at SEVEN O'CLOCK, for POST, containing PARLIAMENTARY and all other NEWS in LONDON up to that Hour.

PROPOSED MIDLAND COUNTIES AND CHURNET VALLEY JUNCTION.—A meeting was held in Ashby-de la-Zoirch on Monday last, to promote the formation of a branch railway to connect the Midland Counties with 'he proposed Churnet-vallerline, by means of part of the Leicester and Swannington Railway. The proposal is, to commence ar Broughton (between Leicester and Rugh), proceed to Desford, co n ti nue on t h e Leicester and Swannington to a point about four miles from Ashby, and carry the line thence to Willing, ton, on the Bir mingham and Derby line, which is one of the termini of the Churnet-valley route. This route would be the nearest that could be planned between London and Manchester, and will render the distance between the two about 170 miles. Its advantages to Leicester would be greater than at first sight they may appear to be, since, by the oont em pl a t e d j unc ti o n, th a t t own might be made the thoroughfare through which the traffic be tween the manufacturing and agricultnral parts of England would be carried on, by means of the proposed railway from Systoii to Peterborough to the eastward. At the same time, Leicester would be within a three hours' ride of Manchester. A chain of communica tion would thus be established between the purely agri cultural, the mixed agricultural and manufacturing, and the exclusively manufacturing districts of the country.— Leicester Chronicle. BISHOSSTOKE AND SALISMORY.—The Hampshire In lependent states that, so far from there being any inten tion on the part of the South-Western Railway Company to abandon this line, the contracts for 1) to works have been taken and will be immediately commenced. DORCHESTER.—The Town Committee for promoting the carrying out of this line of railway, met at the Audit [louse on Tuesday, when a communication was received From Lord Charles Wellesley, M.P. for South Hants, in reply to an application from the Committee, appointing to meet them at Southampton on the 24th instant, and bear their views upon the advantages of the proposed railway. His Lordship has hitherto abstained from giving the, least clue to his sentiments upon a subject in - which his constituents are so greatly interested. A corn. munication from Mr. Castleman was also received, ;wing most positively that the line was intended to be carried round the shore to West Quay, and that the terminus would be as near the pier as possible. The Provisional Committee were willing to give any further guarantee of their intentions in this matter that might be required, pledging themselves to carry the line to the spot indicated, unless compelled to abandon the in tention by Parliamentary interference.—Hampshire In dependent. &JUDI DEVON.—The tenders for 24 engines —sixteen of 33 inch cylinder, or about 45 horse power, and eight of 12 horse power—were received in the early part of the week at Exeter, by Mr. Brunel, and the authorities of the South Devon Railway, which is to be worked on the atmospheric principle. The contracts were taken by Messrs. Boulton, Watt, and Rennie ; the amount from 40,0001. to 50,0001. The principal Cornish engineers and founders were in attendance.— Western Times. THE WEST YORKSHIRE.—The West Yorkshire Rail way will pass over nine of the public streets of Bradford. The Bradford Board of Surveyors, however, are of opi nion that the interest of the public will not be injured by the proposed undertaking, and have unanimously agreed to assent to it.—Leeds Mercury. BIGGLESWADE EXTENSION.—The Hertford Town Council has expressed its dissent from the proposal of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, to extend their line from Hertford to Biggleswade.—Hertfbrd Mercury. Mr. George Stephenson, C.E., has lately been spending 9, week with Sir R. Peel, in company with some scientific gentlemen. .1? / 1••••••4 •1,--":"1:„../ e.. * ... _ ‘ ,... e... ..- ( , ‘..?.. , -e i rt.-- - r e...5e 7 ,-t.---6 / , ... .. - ..1 1 ` ' '''S,':‘• _ . . . , ,• - •‘. •; 4 A IO, • : . . - , 1 , -,4 !I ... ;..,. , ...,_ . ~. . k\7 o'Z' - ~ art • 4 , ......,- , in A 1 to r - ' ' .., _. • .

DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, JAN. 18.—The Stoats Courant of this date containing a notice relative to the conversion of 5 per cent. stock into 4 per ceat. The amount of the 5 per cent. stock is six millions of florins, and may be increased to seven millions. The operations are to commence on the Ist and 15th of February this year. The Minister of Finance has given notice that the total amount of Treasury bonds issued by virtue of the laws of 27th December, 1840, and 19th June 1843, which were s till i n circulation on the Ist of this month was 2,624,300 florins. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Ist of this month, which were received here yesterday, m a k e no mention whatever of the indisposition of the Emperor of Russia, of which a report was spread a few days ago, and of which we said that nothing was known of it here. The accounts from all parts of the kingdom state that the ice is everywhere breaking; in some parts the rivers are quite clear, and navigation is re sumed. It does not appear that any particular acci dents have occurred. BERLIN, JAN. 11.—The provincial assemblies of the Rhine provinces of Westphalia and Brendenburg are convoked for the 9th of February. We hear, from various quarters, of coercive mea sures to be employed against Hanover by the Zoll verein, unless that kingdom should be induced volun tarily to join the Great Customs Union. We have already spoken of this matter. At present report goes so far as to affirm that the plan is not only to impose higher duties on Hanoverian ships in Prussian ports, but also to impose higher import duties on all articles coming from Hanover, which will be equiva lent to a total prohibition of them. It is asked, in deed, whether such coercive measures are justifiable, so long as Hanover is an independent State, and must know best how to promote the interest of its people. To this it is answered, that Hanover should not so obstinately oppose the general national interest of Germany, and that it must thank itself for the dis agreeable consequences of its obstinacy. BERLIN, JAN. B.—Within these few days, we Ob serve the arrival and departure of many cabinet mes sengers, with great activity in the offices of the lega tion of the great Powers. They are supposed to have 'a reference to two impertant questions. It is affirmed that the Austrian Cabinet has very de cidedly recommended the consideration of the ques tion of a joint guarantee of the land frontiers of the Ottoman empire. The second question relates to the pacification of Spain, and the recognition of the Go vernment of Austria, Russia, and Prussia. COBLENTZ, JAN. 8.--Bishop Amelde has issued an ordinance to his clergy, announcing that he has re solved to constitute a special holiday in honour of the holy garments of our Saviour, and of the other valu able relics, namely, the nails and tl:e spear; that this fete shall be celebrated on the Wednesday following the third Sunday after Easter.

The latter were, in 1829, 583,102 souls. HANOVER, JAN. 11.—The King set out to-day for the Gohrde. The three Princes Seim went to Bruns wich yesterday, perhaps to go with the Duke to join the King at the Gohrde. Our Court will shortly be g raced by the presence of a relative, the Princess Louis of Hess (sister of the Duchess of Cambridge), who is married to Count Von de Decker, and has hitherto resided at Vuder, but in consequence of the promotion of her husband to the rank of Brigader-General, will in future reside with him here.

Lord Frederick Beauclerk, unele of the Duke of St. Alban's, is lying in a very precarious condition, at the family residence in Lower Grosvenor-street. His Lordship's illness has caused the most sericus anxiety to Lady Frederick Beauclerk and the immediate connections. We under stand that on Thursday morning last, his Lordship,. on being called at eight o'clock, his usual hour of rising, and not answering, the servant entered the room, and, to his astonishment, found his Lordship on the floor, in a fit. The domestic had the presence of mind to raise his noble master on the bed and immediately gave alarm to the establishment, when Dr. Chambers and Mr. Hicks were promptly in attendance on the noble patient. It was then satisfactorily ascertained that his Lordship was suffering from a paralytic attack. An express was directly forwarded to Lady Frederick and family, who were at St. Michael's Vicarage, near St. Alban's, and in a few hours her Ladyship accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Beauclerk, arrived in Grosvenor-street. We regret to hear the use of the right side is entirely gone for the present, and that his Lordship still labours under the want of the power of speech. Hopes are, however, en tertained for his recovery. DISAPPEARANCE AND RECOVERY OF A 3001. BANK NoTE.--The following circumstance, we are told, has caused some sensation :—A young gentleman from the old-established banking-house of Sir John Lubbock and Co., was requested, in the course of his out-door duties some few days ago, to snake a payment of 300/. at Messrs. Hoare and Co.'s, in Fleet-street. In order, it is presumed, to save time, he called there en route west ward, and requested Messrs. Hoare's cashier to have the receipt for the money ready for him on his return, at the same time tendering, or rather, as it would appear from the sequel, intending or imagining that he had tendered the money. Upon calling shortly afterwards for the re ceipt, Messrs. lipare's clerk intimated that it was ready for him upon payment of the amount. Thus, while the youthful out-door representative of Sir J. Lubbock and Co. stoutly persisted that he had already paid the money, the other as positively denied the fact. Such was the unpleasant position of the matter, and it was ultimately deemed advisable to stop the payment of the note at the Bank of England, and to put forth an advertisement with the offer of " a handsome reward." After the lapse of two days, we are told, an out-door clerk from the West-end branch of the London Joint stock Bank presented himself at Messrs. lloare and Co.'s, with the missing note, stating that he had picked it up be tween that house and Messrs. Child's. The restitution of the money, it may be said, is abundantly satisfactory. —Sunday Times. DRURY .LANE THEATRE. The lessee has re turned, we find, from Berlin, and has had the gratifica tion to learn that his theatre has been crowded every night during his absence. Th e i mme di a t e o bj ect o f h is visit to that capital was to witness the performance of Meyerbeer's last grand opera, " A Camp in Silesia, in which Mademoiselle Lind has made so great a sensation. We understand that Mr. Bunn has positively made ar rangements with Meyerbeer for the production of his opera in London, and has likewise concluded an engage ment with the cantati ice. A grand ballet is likewise in preparation, in which the charming Mademoiselle Maria, from the Academie Royale, Paris, will appear. METROPOLITAN DRAPERS' ASSOCIATION.—A public meeting was held on Friday evening at the Islington and Pentonville Literary Institute, for the purpose of hearing a lecture by Edwin Lancaster, Esq., M.D. F.L.S., upon the evils resulting from the protracted hours of labour so frequent in drapers' establishments. The Lecturer reviewed the subject' in all its bearings. He dwelt with great force and eloquence upon the deterioration of character which must take place in a human being, whether viewed in reference to his moral, physical, or intellectual faculties, if exposed to this pernicious system. The various portions of his subject which admitted of it he illustrated by diagrams, and he con cluded with a strong and eloquent appeal to all present to use their utmost efforts for the extirpation of a system so injurious to society at large. The attendance was numerous and highly respectable, with a preponderance, as there should be, of the fair sex. THE FIRST GENTLEMAN IN EUROPE.—The Earl of Mahnesbury, who went to Brunswick with instruc tims from George 111., to demand the Princess Caroline for the Prince of Wales; gives the following character.. istic account of their first meeting :—" I immediately notified the arrival to the King and Prince of Wales ; the last came immediately.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Wednesday one of the sergeants of the 44th regiment, named Blackwall, hav ing told a corporal, named Holmes, of the same regi ment, who had broken his leave and lost his great coat, that he was to consider himself a prisoner, the corporal walked moodily towards the guard-house and took up a gun, which he appeared to be playing with, but in the barrel of which he had by some means managed to place a ball cartridge. Suddenly he raised the piece, and, taking deliberate aim, fired. The ball passed close to two sere;eants who were standing near, grazing the flee of one o e- f them, and tore a button from the coat of ser geant Blackwall, against whom it was fired. The man was immediately secured.—Devonpurt independent. CAPT. TAYLER'S BREAKWATER.---It will be very satisfactory to our townsmen to learn that the sections of the breakwater moored off the town have nobly with stood the late gales. The Messrs. Cheesman have at tended the li&sLing of the light every night and are wel 1 satisfied with the light-house, and hope, they say, to make it a long residence. They report that during ths , gale the sea was rendered tranquil upwards of 500 yards within the breakwater, and that the strain on the moor ings was scarcely felt. It seems, therefore, most pro bable that this economical plan will give safe anchorage round onr exposed coast and save many lives and much property.—Erighton Guardian. DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENT, DEVON. JJALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS. A SURE CURE FOE BAD LEGS. The following case has excited so much interest, that the Guardians of the par ish of Brent, Devon, have considered it their duty to sign their names to the accompanying important declaration : We, the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Rm. ens, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds (some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them) ; that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" and had prescriptions from the most celebrated physicians in this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Heise's Scorbutic Drops, have completely cured him, and he is niw enabled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public. Signed by John Elliott, sen., Lord of the Manor, John Manning, William Pearce, Henry Goodman, Arthur Langworthy. June 21, 1943 . The Pbove-mentioned Thomas Rohm was quite incapable of doing any kind of work whatever before he commenced taking these Drope. Some of his wounds were so large, that i.s was most awful to look at them, and the itching and pain of the wounds generally were mo4t dreadful; indeed, the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by, both day and night, for sleep wa entirely out of the ques tion.
