The Provi s i onal Committee beg h to remind the public that, pre . piouslyre any application being made to Parliament in cases whe re t riem e are competing lines, it is now required that the me rits or er.tz °f such line s hall be submitted to the impartial tribunal of the Board of Trade, and reported upon by that Board accord. rnglY' therwbY rendering totally unavailing the repetition o f an y tteen Pt by aconabination of parties to make the p u b lic interests su bservient to private or political views. This line is in every respect (more especially as it reg ards the zniMibie shorterlicna interests) i superior to the now only competing line ; it is one length of P 1 miles, has better gradients, less objec. tion i able curves, crosses fewer public roads, and interferes less in for ously with private property. , U nder these ci rc umstances, the Provisional Committee, confident Sri the merit s o f t hi s line, enterta i n no d ou bt o f the success of their intended application to Parliament for an Act to authorise its for 'nation in the next session, for which the necessary plans and sect ions have been prepared, and will be deposited, and the proper notices given, in compliance with the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament. Applications for the remaining shares may be addressed to the St`er tary, at the office of the Company, 11, Abchurch.lane, where detailed prospectuses and copies of the engineer's report subse quently to the defeat of the rival lines in Parliament may be ob tained, and where the plan and section of the line may be inspected. No application for shares will be received after the I Ith of -November next, on which day the allotment will be made. Holders of the scrip of 1836 and 1839 may exchange it for scrip of the present date, upon signing the subscription and contract deeds; but if they tlo not give notice in writing to the Secretary, on or before the 6th of November next, of their intention to do t his, they will be understood to relinquish the stock, and it-will be re -issued.

PRICE and BOLTON, Plaintiff's Solicitors. To the PROPRIETORS and POLICY-HOLDERS in the NATIONAL MERCANTILE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. Gentlemen, THE Proprietors and Policy-holders in the above Society are respectfully informed that the advertisement for a Meeting to dispose of, or to dissolve, the Society is issued by the Directors in consequence of a Requisition signed by a large body of Proprietors, expressive of the sentiments of three-fifths of the entire body, calling a Meeting to remove certain of the Directors from their office. The Society, if under a manage ment possessing the confidence of the Proprietary, was never in a more promising condition, and it only remains to remove the present obstacles to its progress to make it one of the largest and most successful offices of the day On behalf of three of the Directors, and three.fifths of the Proprietary, 1 respectfully request that the Policy-holders and their friends will put the proper cons'ruction on the motives of those Dime' ors who have got up the requisition, and called the meeting to dispose of, or dissolve, the Society.

I am, Gentlemen, your - most obedient humble servant, JOHN L. EVANS, Secretary to the Committee of Proprietors. 1, Wardrobe place, Doctors'-commons, Nov. 7, 1844. F.DWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their burning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

This, this is the day for a civic display, In London's remark blo Ci' y ; And, therefore, again we take up the pen, To welcome it in with a ditty. Such occasions as these are certain to please ; And all must pronounce them as splendid ; When they view the parade of the rich cavalcade, W,tn pomp and with grandeur attended. Many thousands remember " the Ninth of November," With feelings of glowing delight, And thron ,on this day, with a view to survey The beautiful popular sight. But what would they say to the civic display, While moving in stately progression, If MOSES and SON, with the hosts they have won, Were tojlin in the City procession? Then the armour of mail wou'd little avail, And few with the sight would be won; Whilst " all" would admire the splendid attire, Produc'd by E. MOSES and SON. The Sheriffs and Mayor in habiliments rare, And the Aldermen gaily bedight ; Would all be out-done by MOSES and SON, In such a remarkable sight. N.B. For the convenience of parties residing from town, en appli oation, directions for self-measurement will be forwarded post free. READY MADE. X s. d.

Strange, sold a t 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 profession, for what reason we are at a loss to 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 sufibr. 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.

His Grace the Duke of Wellington most promptly gave his authority in aid of the efforts of the Court; and the officers and sol diers employed on the occasion acted with the greatest zeal and temper, so that no occurrence of a disagree able kind took place amongst the numerous multi tudes assembled to hail the visit of the Queen.— (Hear, hear.) It gave him great pleasure, too, to state that by the judgment and energy of the City Police Commissioner, the police force were rendered most effective, and were most deserving of the cor dial notice of the Court..—(Hear.) Sir Peter Laurie then moved that the thanks of the Court be given to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, fur the aid ren dered by him on the 28th of October, by ordering the attendance of troops, &c., on the occasion of her Ma jesty's most gracious visit on the opening of the Royal Exchange.—(Loud applause.) He also moved that the thanks of the Court be given to Sir George Murray ; to the Benchers of the Temple; to Messrs. Child and Co., the bankers; to Lieutenant •Colonel Cox, and the officers of the Artillery Company ; to the Commissioner of the City Police, &c., &c. The votes of thanks were unanimously agreed to; and Sir PETER LAURIE said he experienced peculiar pleasure in bearing testimony to the admirable plan adopted by Mr. Harvey for keeping the streets quiet and orderly, and he rejoiced to find that the Com missioner was so extremely well qualified to manage and control so large a force.—(Cheers.) Alderman Lucas, in seconding the motions of thanks, heartily complimented Mr. Harvey upon his skill and activity. Alderman WOOD said that the approbation thus ex pressed was well deserved. The Commissioner had been obliged to employ a number of additional men on the day of the Queen's visit, and, in order to maintain order more effectually, he dressed the newly sworn constables in the old clothes of the force, so that the apparent numbers of the police operated in preventing anything like confusion amongst the vast erowds.—(Hear, hear.) Sir P. LAURIE said that at the last Court of Alder men the letter of Sir James Graham, announcing the gratification felt by her Majesty at her reception and entertainment, had been read. It was his wish that, in the narrative of the proceedings, that letter should be introduced. The LORD MAYOR intimatei that a Committee was engaged in considering the subject, and that, no doubt, there would be no omission of any circum stance worthy of record.—(Hear. hear.) Alderman Wow) wished that the letter written by Sir James Graham to the Lord Mayor, on the subject of doing away with the evening sitting at the Central Criminal Court, should be entered on the minutes of the Court. He submitted a motion on the subject, and Alderman Humphery seconded the motion. The LORD MAYOR most decidedly objected to the proposition, which at once fell to the ground. The Court then adjourned, and proceeded to Guild hall, for the purpose of holding the ceremony of swearing in the new Lord Mayor. COURT OF SEWERS. A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City of Westminster, and part of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the Sewers-office, Greek street, Soho square, Thomas L. Donaldson, Esq., in the chair. The most important business of the day, namely, to receive tenders for the works on the lianelagh and Counters-creek districts, and to take such steps thereon as may be deemed expedient, having been brought be fore the Court by the Chairman, an animated dis cussion ensued, upon a proposition c)f . Mr. Leslie's to return the tenders unbroken to the respective parties, and to throw open the works upon the line to further competition. The motion was ultimately negatived, and the different tenders—three in all—having been opened and compared, it was announced that Messrs. Hazlitt and Bonnin's was the lowest. - On the question that their tender be accepted, Mr. LESLIE objected that by the Court's present system of contracting, they were paying twice as much as was paid per foot run by the Holborn and Finsbury division. He had been to the neighbouring Commission for the purpose of certifying this point ; he had got the fullest particulars of their mode of doing business there, and he had ascertained, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that for every foot of sewerage put in by the Court of Westminster, the Holborn and Finsbury division could build two. That was a matter of some importance to the public. By a continuance of the present defective system they were losing sight of the public interests, and damaging their own character, as a public Court, to an enor mous extent. It was a singular and atriking fact, that the same person did the works on that district as in their own—he meant Mr. Bennett, the late con tractor. What did he charge them, and what that Court ? Why, he charged the llolborn and Fins bury district only 131. 15s. per rod, in cement, but his price to that Court was 151. 10s. _ _ Mr. ALLASON would remind Mr. Leslie that Mr. Bennett was not atir contractor now, neither was he present in Court. Mr. LESLIE thought the fact that that gentleman had contracted with both Courts was a very im portant one. He (Mr. Leslie) had in his pocket a copy of the contract, and the prices for which Mr. Bennett had tendered for a particular line of road, and that price was greatly under what that Court paid. The CHAIRMAN-Blit Mr. Bennett lost several hundred pounds by that contract, and the Court made the loss up to him afterwards. Mr. LESLIE would suppose that correct. It did not vitiate his argument. They did, indeed, allow him 2001., but that was in consequence of an ob struction by the Regent's Canal, which had not been before contemplated. But what were the prices ? Why there, 18s. 6d. per foot lineal, while in that Court they paid 21. 2s. 10d. Was he not right, then, in saying that they in Westminster paid double to what they paid in Holborn ? The ramming in and filling in in Holborn was charged fourpence, but in that Court one shilling ; and that difference of price arose simply from their system of accepting contractors for the district, and the unfortunate bill of particulars which they hal sent into the contracting parties. They were literally binding themselves hand and foot, and giving themselves up to the tender mercies of those persons. The Holborn and Finsbury dis trict had got seven tenders from respectable parties. Jr. Bennett's happened to be the lowest, and he was accepted ; but why, he asked, should Mr. Bennett charge them 15/. 103., and the Holborn district only 131. 15s. ? The CHAIRMAN thought Mr. Leslie was digressing from the question. Mr. Bennett was no longer a con tractor with that Court. Mr. LESLIE'S argument was directed against the system. The Court was that day going to choose a To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton-garden, London. contractor in precisely a similar way to that which had Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, J 144. produced those effects in the former case.

The CHAIRMAN—There could be no possible com parison between the two. The sewers were different in formation, the materials - were - different, and the depths of digging were also very different. Mr. GUTTER asked if the mode of contracting in the Holborn and Finsbury division was like the mode pursued by that Court ? The CHAIRMAN—No,; they contracted by the job. Mr. LE,BanToN.—Which was the better way ? Mr. LESLIE then proposed a resolution, to the ef fect that, owing to the vague and imperfect manner in which the bills of particulars had been made, they containing many items not likely to be required, that Court determined to receive fresh contracts fel their works in the Ranelagh and Counters creek district. Mr. GUNTER seconde I the resolution. An amendment was moved by Mr. BEECH ' and Fe conded, that Messrs. Hazlitt and Bonnin's tender Le accepted. A lengthened discussion arose upon the question, Mr. Leslie explaining, at considerable length, the (Efferent modes in which contracts were made by tht different Cemmissions. He adverted to, the Jacts, that the lowest candidates on that day had reduced their tender to an amount of some 2601. from that which they had put in a fortnight bef,re ; that there were only three candidates in all, arising, he ha.l no doubt, from the discouragement of public compe tition by the system pursued in that Court. Ile had found that, supposing the Bow-street sewer to have been built according to the Holborn and Finsbury con tract, that the saving in digging alone would be about 3501. That was surely enough to make them pante ere they proceeded further in the matter. Perhaps clause in that .Commission's Act of Parliament could satisfactorily explain the better management of affairs there. It was enacted, under a penalty of 1001., that no person interested in the question at issue should sit in that Court. The Hon. Commissioner then gave the relative depths of works done at the rate of 18s. 6d. per foot run in the Holborn and Finsbury division, and argued therefrom that contracts should be taken by "the job," as more likely to encourage competition. The CHAIRMAN said there was no parallel to Le drawn between the works done in Bow-street and the line to which Mr. Leslie had alluded. The aN erage depth of the Holborn and Finsbury works was sixteen feet, while in Bow-street the average depth was twenty-four feet, and that, too, through gropnd of the most difficult character—a running sand. Mr. Ben nett had been a great loser by the Holborn works, and the fact was apparent, for the second tender was greatly higher. It would have been impossible for him to continue the works at those prices. But he (the Chairman) maintained that no public body was justified in getting their works done out of the pockets of the contractors. There was another fact in the system pursued by the Holborn and Finsbury district which materially reduced the expenses of the con tractor. If he were to use old bricks, and be was allowed to do so, they would be charged only 20s. a thousand, and, in the great quantity of bricks used, this made a most essential difference to him-- Mr. BErcu—Of course, when new bricks would be charged 365. The CHAIRMAN—Then, again, he was allowed to use the pit sand instead of sharp river sand, and this also made an important difference. He (the Chair= man) knew an eminent builder, and he had said to him that he had some few years ago been allowed to use pit sand in one of his buildings, and the mortar was at that time actually rotten ; and so dissatisfied was he with the result, that he stated he would rather have lost in the first instance 1,000/. out of his own pocket than used it. The Chairman was of opinion that the tender given - in that day by 'Messrs. Hazlitt and Bonnin was a moderate one, and should be accepted. The amendment and the original motion were then put, when the former was carried by a majority of six. Messrs. llazlitt and Bonnin were then c•illed in, and informed that their tender was accepted ; but these gentlemen begged to withdraw if the whole works in the district could not be guaranteed them. Their resignation was received, when-- Mr. LESLIE again urge I that further competition should be invited. Mr. Noon moved, and Mr. LOCKE seconded, that the next tender should be accepted. The motion was carried, but Mr. Todd resigned the contract on the same ground that the first parties had. Mr. LESLIE renewed his application, but again un successfully, for it was carried that the third and only candidate should have the offer of the works. Ile also declined to accept them, and for the. ame re inn. Mr. LESLIE inquired" whether, under tl ese un paralleled circumstances, it would not be worth tbetr while to try the plans he had all that day been ad vocating. It was very evident that the bills of par ticulars were either not understood, or looked at with suspicion. _ _ . The CIItIRMAN was of opinion that the Court was degraded in the eyes of all contractors, by its never ending efforts to cramp them in their operations. After much r(crimination, the Court adjourned, it being understood that the subject of the contracts should be considered again next Friday.
