THE LAST MEETING of the LEAGUE for this SEASON, in the THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT GARDEN, will be held on WEDNESDAY EVENING next, 7th inst. GEORGE WILSON, Esq., will t a k e th e Ch a ir e t HALF-PAST SEVEN O'CLOCK precisely. _ _ Persons intending to effect Assurances should observe the ap. proach of their birthday, as each year adds to the annual payment required. The first Life Assurance Society commenced business in 1705, and the principles of life contingencies, understood at that time to a very limited extent only, have repeatedly undergone important changes and improvements; but till the establishment of this So ciety in 1841 no attempt had ever been made to assure the lives of persons who suffer from disease. The science of statistics has only within a recent period been successfully applied to the duration and mortality of disease, and hence tables on the probability of these results could not have been formed ; and it would evidently have been unsafe and hazardous for any society to have undertaken the risk of assuring the lives of persons afflicted with any particular malady. The statistical in formation, however, now collected, and in possession of this office, is of so great an extent as fully to warrant the extension of life assurance to such cases, and, in fact, to place the application of life assurance on diseased lives on a more secure basis than even that on healthy lives. It is hoped that while kept clearly in view that this Society, in common with other offices, will assure the lives of healthy persons, it is as yet the only one established to assure the lives of persons labouring under disease; and to this latter feature particular atten. tion is directed. In the first place, because it opens a larger field for business than all other offices can have unitedly; and in the Second place, because that branch of assurance must, from its own nature, be less hazardous, and its principles rest on a more permanent foundation. These are two highly important facts, and we shall enter into an explanation of each ; and first, as to the prevalence of disease. The period of life most important to an assurance office is that be tween 15-60 years of age, and in the following remarks we refer exclusively to this period of life. It will be found that the deaths in the metropolis for the two years preceding 1842 were, from all causes, 30,518 ; and from consumption alone, 10,688 ; showing that more than one.third of the total deaths in that period of life takes place from the preva lence of a single disease ; and if the same inquiry were instituted with respect to other diseases, such as asthma, dropsy, diseases of the head, heart, &c., it would be found that more than one-half of the whole population would, on medical examination, be refused admission into an assurance office. If the inquiry be carried to the principal towns in England, like facts are elicited—ln Bir mingham, Liverpool and Manchester, the deaths from all causes, per annum, are about 5,023, while those from consumption are 1,988, forming considerably more than one-third of the whole. The same thing will be found to hold good in the large towns in Scot land, in six of which the deaths in a given period, from all causes, amounted to 23,078, those from consumption alone to 6,359, and from six important diseases, 9,754 ; in the latter case forming more than 42 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. On reference to the returns from the city of Glasgow for 1836-1840 It will be found that the deaths in that period, from all causes, were 14,107, from consumption 4,087, and a list of five diseases, 6,423, being more than 45 per cent. of the deaths from all causes. The diseases here alluded to are such as exist in general in a chronic form, frequently for many years prior to death, but which, en a strict medical examination, would effectually exclude the persons so affected from the benefits of life assurance ; and since it thus appears that a majority of the population is included in this class, the value and importance of the new feature of this society cannot fail to be justly appreciated. The second point to be explained is the fact that there is much less risk in assuring diseased lives. This is a feature of paramount and vital importance to the interests of this society, and deserves to be carefully considered. Tho real risk incurred in all assurance transactions consists in the chance to which an office is liable of experiencing a different degree of mortality from that expected by the tabjes on which its caculations ere founded. This difference is termed the fluctuation of mortality, and will be found to be much less among diseased lives than over the general population, and among selected lives. The deaths from consumption in the metropolis per annum are sufficiently near the annual number which takes place in Glasgow, from all causes, to admit of a comparison, and by reducing the matter to figures it is found that while the fluctuation per annum in the latter case is as high as 45 per cent., in the former it is only 9 per cent., or, in other words, the fluctuation of mortality in consumption was only one-fifth of the other; and in Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, even with the disadvantage of smaller numbers, the fluctuation does not exceed 3 per cent., showing a remarkable uniformity in the law which determines the mortality of this disease, and that it is more positive and absolute in its results than that which regulates the general population. Consumption has here been selected, not because it was consi. dered more favourable in its results, but simply on account of the larger numbers affording a more satisfactory proof of the question under consideration; but the same test has been appled to a great number of other diseases, and like results obtained. Among nine diseases in the metropolis, including asthma, dropsy, rheumatism, disease of the liver, of the heart, of the nervous system, &c., the fluctuation was only 7i per celit., and in five diseases in a different district the fluctuation was about 7 per cent., while among eleven in another locality, and even with small numbers, the fluctuation did not exceed 6.2 per cent. ; and taking the principal towns in England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield, &c., the fluctuation over eleven of the more important diseases was 6'4 per cent. The remarkable uniformity in these results cannot fail to pro. duce a conviction of the positive character of the law of mortality in disease; indeed, there seems to be nothing within the whole range of the doctrine of probabilities so well defined as the mor. tality of diseased lives. The mortality of the general population has frequently been referred to by writers as an example of the cer tainty of common events, but the preceding remarks must show with how much greater certainty the mortality of diseased lives can be depended on. It is perhaps right to state, that, in applying the test of fluctuation to disease, it has not been confined to one place or class of lives, but has been extended to the principal towns in England and Scotland, as well as t• many rural districts in Eng land, and included the experience e one or two large societies of select lives. This has afforded an opportunity of judging of the effects of locality and its sanatory condition en the duraticn of life, and a remarkable fact has thus been developed, ♦iz., that the value of life generally is much greater in the coun. try districts than in large cities; but that of those persons who suffer from disease the value of life is nearly the same. As an example of this—the expectation at the age of 30 in the country districts is 36.7 years; in cities (viz., Glasgow) 27.6 years—diffe rence 33 per cent. nearly; but take the case of persons of that age in whom the consumptive tendency is developed, and who will ultimately die of consumption, and their expectation of life in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, will be found to be 14'5, in cities (Glasgow) 14'4, and in the metropolis, Manchester, Bir mingham, 13'9 ; difference *Ol7 per cent. (or 1.57 per cent.) It therefore appears that while the difference between country and town life in the former cm is about 33 per cent., that in the latter instance (consumption) the difference is almost nothing, and the results nearly uniform. The same thing holds good with some other diseases, which have been investigated in this manner. This fact, although not generally understood, Is only what might have been expected by a careful consideration of the conclusion formerly arrived at—that the fluctuation of the law of mortality in disease is confined within a very narrow limit, and consequently little in fluenced by external circumstances. Ithence appears that the fluctuation in the mortality of diseased lives is much less than among select livee and the population gene rally, and therefore the risk of assuring diseased lives must also be BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES, Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London.

It has since been reprinted, together with the Minutes of Evidence and Appendix. From the evidence we are inclined to quote some curious extracts; but at present have only room to select, from the answers of Peter Cloves, Esq., the following curious notice of reverend betters and levanters. It is instructive enough : What do you suppose is the reason that the clergy have discontinued attending the turf?—l never knew more than two or three. How many of those have you known levanters?—l have known two; not more than that in the course -of my life. How many have you known betting? —I hardly ever knew a clergyman bet beyond those. You state that you have known horses withdrawn pre vious to the great races, and other practices which you consider unfair upon the turf; do not you consider those exceptions?—Certainly. And that in general the proceedings on the turf are carried on honourably?—Yes, I think so, certainly. And that even those clergymen and such practices are exceptions?—l do. Are the clergymen you allude to men occupying high stations in the Church?—Yes. _ t ic a z ' of 0011.14 -- SILVER SUPERSEDED, and those corrosive and injurious metals called Nickel and German Silver sup planted by tho introduction of a new and perfectly matchless ALBATA PLATE.

Mr. Tothill is the fourth son of the Rev. John Tothill, of Cheriton Bishop, Rector of Ilillisleigh, in the county of Devon, and was born at Cheriton Bishop, in the year 1800. He received the first part of his medical education with William Collins, Esq., surgeon, of Ken- I ton, Devon; he ultimately concluded his studies at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, and was examined for his diploma at the College of Surgeons, London, by the late John Abernethy, Esq. The following is au extract of Mr. Tothill's case as published by him in 1835 : " I had passed my thirtieth year before I first saw the light—the true light that guided me to health—and from my boyhood I had passed a life of disease, physical misery, and woe. I began to run the gauntlet of all the remedies which physicians are in the habit of prescribing—nothing had any effect in giving me ease. Thus I continued, year after year, struggling with disease. My speedy dissolution was often looked for, my meridian of life passed, the powers and energies of life fast subsiding, my faculties impairing —I was fast descending into the grave. The slightest meal gave me all the horrors of indigestion—that low, languid state in which the sufferer finds no case or rest—peevish, sleepless; my joints stiff, and my feet filled with excruciating pains, so that I could scarce walk. Such was I in my thirtieth year, and from six years' occasional use of Mr. Morison's medicines, on and off, for weeks and months at a time, I have arrived at a state of perfect health. I now only require occasional doses of them during the year to keep me in that state. My family have experienced the same benefit, and by a few doses are kept in continual health. Can I, therefore, with such irrefragable proofs before my eyes, pursue the exercise of those fallacious theories which, as a medical man, I acquired in the medical schools ?—Surely not. Heaven and earth cry against it !" In consequence of the misrepresentations which have appeared in the medical papers andother channels respecting Mr. Tothill, Messrs. Morison feel themselves called upon to lay the above before the public. British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, London, August 2, 1844.

But the reader must note, that the " Habits" of Moses, Are different " Habits" from what he supposes. In morals we hear of " good h•‘bits" a d bad"— And in dress, it depends how a person is did. Now the beautiful " Habits" of MOSES and SON Are very "good Habits"—outrivalled by none. When persons "get in" to such " Habits" as these, Such respectable Habits" are certain to please. The " force" of such " Habits" by all is allow'd— They gain you respect as you pass through the crowd; And when with a drawing-room party you blend, These " Habits" will certainly gain you a friend. When a gentleman's wooing some feminine bloom, Much depends on the " Habits" which he may assume. And these are the reasons why gentl . men "don'' The " forcible Habits" of MOSES and 80N. But MOSES has beautiful " Habits," of course, For nymphs in the "habit" of riding the horse, Which ensura to the ladies who "habit" in these, A " Habit" of riding with grace and with ease. Then may all the good readers reflect, as they should, And " cast off" " bad habits" for those that are goad."

To apply this conclusion to the affairs of an assurance rffice, it may be stated, that supposing the number of lives in a society, taking only select lives, was such that the table of mortality would indicate 100 deaths per annum, it would be necessary to have always sufficient funds at immediate command to meet 145 deaths ; on the other hand, an office assuring only &sensed lives need not provide for more than 109 deaths per annum; that is to say, the risk of aasuring diseased lives is to that of average lives as 9 to 45, or only one-fifth. This fact is highly important to the interests of this Society, and establishes beyond doubt the safety and correctness of the principles on which it is founded. For further information, reference is made to the prospectuses and other published documents of the Society, which may be ob. tained on application at the Society's offices. P. o. P. NEISON, Actuary.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. fore, to area in proportion to length of breakwater and pier, Ca,,tain Beechey's plan obviously claims the pre ference. The entrance to each harbour has the same aspect, viz., true east; but, owing to the greater size of Captain Beechey's harbour, he can afford to have a wider entrance than Mr. Walker, without proportionately in creasing the risk of injurious disturbance within it. Accordingly, Captain Beechey makes his entrance up wards of 1,000 feet wide, whilst Mr. Walker limits his entrance to 350 feet. It also appears to me that the ter minating kant of the north breakwater of Captain Beechey's plan is so placed, with reference to the head of his south pier, as to occasion less broken water across the entrance, which, in connexion with its being nearly three times the width, makes it much more accessible when the wind is from the northward and westward, which are the bad weather points, and which, consider ing how close both entrances are to a rocky lee shore, makes a wide and easy access all important. I am therefore of opinion, that in every point of view, as an asylum harbour, Captain Beechey's plan must be deemed preferable. Captain Beechey's plan has also the advan tage of making the present harbour a portion, and a most valuable one, of the enlarged harbour, and, as such, capable of being made of great importance, from its ap plicability to the various appurtenances wanted to make any establishment of this kind complete. As packet harbours, both plans appear to me deficient in affording a degree of shelter that would give the necessary quiet for berthing the steamers alongside the proposed work ing l iers in gales from the north-west; and in each 1 think it would be found requisite to give the additional accommodation of a deep-water wharf along the east side of Ynys Gyby, in the manner suggested by Mr. Walker. This would reduce the area of both harbours, which would be most felt in Mr. Walker's plan; more from the inconvenience of having to take the packets through the crowd of vessels which won d doubtless be frequently collected within it, than by the mere reduc tion of size. Captain Beechey's plan being the largest, and having greater space inclosed by its south pier, ad mits of a better opportunity of devoting that portion of the harbour to the sole use of the packets. To this the only objection is, that the packets would be incon veniently removed from the dockyard, and in north-west gales would frequently have to use the wharf along the opposite side of the harbour, in the same way that Mr. Walker's plan contemplates. Mr. Walker's plan has undoubtedly the advantage of increasing the accommo dation of the present harbour, by the gradual extension of its north pier; but judging from past experience, it is a reasonable apprehension that any increase of ac commodation which could be so obtained would invite such an accumulation of shipping as would deprive the packets of much of the benefit. It appears to me, therefore, that if the object sought is the accommoda tion of a larger class of packets, it is worth close in quiry whether that might not be fully accomplished by the expenditure of a comparatively small sum in deepen ing the present harbour, so as to make a sufficient area for vessels of say 150 feet length, which I assume to be sufficient for insuring the requisite speed. Whilst ad verting to what I have considered to be a want of de sirable accommodation in the two plans for the harbour, on which my opinion is requested, I have thought it un necessary for me to particularise their individual merits. The high scientific and professional character of theim projectors is a sufficient warrant for their general excel lence, and would deter me from making any suggestions of my own; but the great importance of a harbour of refuge at Holyhead has been so impressed on me during my late investigation of the subject of this report, as to produce a conviction on my mind that no money within a reasonable limit should be spared for effecting the most spacious and complete harbour that the site will admit. In replying, therefore, to that part of the ques tion as to my own opinion on the best position for the harbour, I hope I shall not be considered as exceeding my instructions in laying before the Lords Commission ers of the Admiralty a plan which, though more expen sive than either Mr. Walker's or Captain Beechy's, appears to me justified by its commensurate magnitude, and the number of important objects it would embrace. It is shown on the accompanying chart, on which I have also laid down Mr. Walker's and Captain Beechey's, for the more ready comparison of the three, and by which it will be seen that by running off a breakwater from e headland west of the present harbour called Soldier's Point' eastward, so as to terminate north of the ' Platter's Buoy,' and forming a pier from Yns Gyby, with its head resting on the Outer Platters,' a har bour of upwards of 300 acres would be formed, having its entrance windward of the entrance of the other pro posed plan nearly three-quarters of a mile, and in €4 fathoms of water. The breakwater by this plan would be about 5,000 feet long, and the south pier about 2,000 feet long, and the enclosed harbour would contain 252 acres, having two fathoms of water and upwards (at lois water), 216 acres having three fathoms and upwards, 188 acres having four fathoms and upwards, and 127 acres having five fathoms and upwards ; and the whole space was reported to me by Commander Kains, and others having local knowledge, as excellent holding ground, and free from rocks or foul ground. That :ht last-mentioned advantage is possessed by this site, is confirmed by the elaborate soundings given in Captain Beechey's, chart, which shows only one small sunken rock, on which is marked 15 feet - water, and which should recommend to be covered by ~,n inner pier, run off the shore, as shown by dotted lines on the plan. This pier would also separate the packet harbour from the asylum harbour, afford quiet berths for the steamers in north-west gales, and would shelter the west side of the dockyard and Yns Gyby, as also the greater part of the pier, which runs from thence to the Outer Platters. The land forming the south and west sides of this har bour is mountainous, and offers complete shelter. The breakwater is not more exposed than in either of the other plans, and though the water in which it would have to be formed is in its deepest part upwards of two fathoms greater than in either of the other plans, the cost would not be proportionately increased, as the lower part of the slopes need not be made as flat as the upper portions. The facility also of getting stone in the moun tain from which it would spring, will be something greater in the case of either of the other breakwaters As regards the south pier of this plan, it is shorter than the similar piers of either of the other plans, but has from seven to eight feet more water. A rock is marked in the chart on the inside of this pier, but it is covered with 14 to 17 feet water, and being small, might easily be removed to a depth of 3} fathoms, if necessary. As regards the entrance, I have drawn it of a width of 800 feet, the head of the breakwater covering it from northerly gales, but in a manner that would prevent broken water from being thrown across it, and with an aspect which. though sheltered, would admit of vessels running in and out free with any wind between north-east and north ward to north-west. This harbour would also have the advantage of connexion with the present harbour through the drawbridge, which joins the island of Yns Gyby to the main, and it would also have a greater extent of shore than even Captain Beechey's plan. It is, however, the windward position of its entrance, its large stare with deep water, and the facility it offers for the convenient separation of the mail-packets from the general shipping. which I regard as its chief advantages, and which 1 think more than compensate for its greater cost than Mr. Walker's or Captain Beechey's plan, with which it is compared in my answer to the next question," In answer to the seventh question, we have the fol lowing summary of the relative expense of the plans, respectively : " Assuming the cost of executing the several corre sponding classes of work in Mr. Walker's and Captain Beechey's plans to be the same, which I see no reason to doubt, and that Mr. Walker's estimate is sufficient, which I also believe, the cost of Captain Beechey's plan would be 550,000 L, or 150,0002 more than Mr. Walker's; the plan which I have ventured to suggest would cost 600,0002" Mr. Rendel's report on the eighth interrogatory is in the negative. ,5,4,. ,..T.„, 4 ~. ,s. ..,_,,_ ,_,,,,, ~.,,. n i..,- '...'-' . . ... •.1 `'!".' „-- _....,,,,. _ 4 , ,, • ciAr r • , ..:4" '''''*; ~', .A. •:::t. : ... 4,,,,_ . ,s ift'V '''' l t ~ ~, . ,':' ...... 6; - ''.

He then called their attention to the danger they were in of losing the stream of cattle from Lincolnshire, which in consequence of an Act having been obtained for a line from Cambridge to Ely, would most likely be diverted to ir that place, unless a direct line could be obtained by Peterborough. Ire was extremely desirous lat any railway to the north should pass through this lace. It was the right line in a national point of view, the best line for the local interests, the neighbourhood, anti the best for the parties engaged in the undertaking. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously,. Mr. E. B. DENNISON, M.P., said that the Directors of the London and York Railway, having heard that a. meeting was to be held on the subject of the railway, thought it their duty to attend. He was delighted to find that everybody at Peterborough, and particularly the Noble Lord in the chair, was favourable to the line. He was, however, bound to tell them, that whether it would go close to Peterborough would be for the en gineer to decide. The.:Pirectors would have to weigh well the arguments on both sides, and none could be more powerful than those of the Noble Lord. The chief object of the Directors was to shorten the distance between London and York, which, if carried out, would effect a saving of between 28 and 30 miles. A secondary object was to shorten the communication with the West Riding of Yorshire, containing one million of people, who consumed a great portion of the corn of Lin colnshire. It was well known that the greater part of the corn of Lincolnshire went northward, and the cattle southward ; and as the line would come to or near Pe terborough, it would most materially benefit that place. The agricultural districts would reap a great advantage by cheapness of conveyance. He had ascertained that the average cost of conveying a quarter of wheat to Wakefield was 3s. 6d—the farmer had to pay also com mission at Wakefield, and to run the risk of a sea pas sage. If the farmer would undertake to pay them the freight, why he would save in commission and sea risk, besides which, he could bring his corn to market in twelve hours instead of a week. With respect to coals, he believed that the coals of the West Riding might be laid down at ss. a ton less than the sea-borne coal. The line would go through a country where there was no railway, and scarcely any canal, so that, taking any siew of the case, there could be no doubt that it would lie of great advantage to the town. A variety of other resolutions were then agreed to, one of which, moved by Mr. J. D. Simpson, and seconded by R. Hodgson, Esq., M.P., pledged the meeting to sup port, by every means in its power, the London and York Railway. Mr. Mowatt, Mr. Pyne, Mr. Chaplin, and other gentlemen subsequently addressed the meeting, ' - .hick separated after the usual vote of thanks had been passed to the Noble Chairman. LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER GORGON. The intelligence of the loss of this steam frigate, witk eight other vessels, was brought over a few (Pays since by the mail packet from South America, and it has been too truly confirmed by dispatches subsequently received at the Admiralty. It occurred on the night of the 11th of May last, during a terrific storm, off the coast of Monte Video, but we are happy to state the whole of the officers and crew were saved. The Gorgon, it will be recollected, obtained consider able notoriety at the siege of St. Jean d'Acre, while under the command of Henderson —a shell fired from one of her guns on deck blowing up the principal powder magazine in the fortress, whereby an immense destruc tion' of life took place, and the battle was brought almost to an immediate termination. On her return to England she was re-commissioned, under the command of Captain Charles Hotham, to the service in South Ameriga, where she has been engaged up to the period of her loss. She was, we believe, launched at Pembroke, in the year 1833, and was a fine vessel of her class, her engines amounting to 350 horse power, and armed with six guns. The account of her lass is reported to be as follows: — At an early hour on the morning of the Bth of May, while the Gorgon and another of her Majesty's steamers, the Ardent, Captain John Russell commander, were lying at anchor a few miles to the westward of Monte Video, it came on to blow very hard from the southward. The weather had for several days previously been very unsettled, and the appearance of the heavens indicated a coming storm. During the whole of that and the suc ceeding night and day the wind continued blowing heavy, until about three o'clock on the morning of the 10th, when it burst into one of the most terrific hurri canes that has been experienced off that coast for twenty years and upwards. At the first blast an armed schooner was torn from her anchors and driven ashore, where she fell on her beam-ends, and the crew narrowly escaped a watery grave. Directly afterwards three other vessels met with a similar fate, their cables snapping asunder, and driving on the beach with great force. Captain llotham, of the Gorgon, took precautionary measures long before the hurricane commenced, by making the ship as snug as possible, and having two anchors out, but notwithstanding the vessel was soon found to be driving from her anchors. The steam being up, an order was given to the engi neers to " go ahead," which was instantly done, and an attempt was made to run her out, but the sea ran so terrifically high that it was impossible, every wave making a clean sweep over the length of her deck, and washing everything overboard. The engines were still kept going, and thus prevented the steamer being mediately driven ashore, though little or no way was obtained on her; however, matters continued this way until about eleven o'clock of the 11th, when Captain Hotham succeeded in gaining the centre of the bay, where three anchors were let go, and hopes were enter tained that she would here safely ride the storm out. Such, unfortunately, was not the case, for, ere many minutes had elapsed, the cables of two of the anchors were found to be parted. Her engines were again put into immediate operation, and endeavours were made to hold on with one anchor, but all the strength of her ma chinery was not sufficient to contend against the fury of the hurricane and strength of the current, for suddenly the ship broke away, and in defiance of all the exertion of Captain Hotham, his officers, and crew, was carried by the tide high on to the beach, surrounded by a tre mendous surf. It was five o'clock in the afternoon when she struck, and, but for the engines being kept in rapid motion, the force with which she would have been carried ashore would have dashed the ship to pieces; whereas, her pro gress was slow, and the shock when she struck was not violent. The crew and officers contrived to effect a safe landing, but in what manner it is not stated. During the whole of the night and following morning the hurricane continued to rage with apparently increased violence, and it was not till Sunday before it any way abated. The Gorgon was then found to be upward of sixty yards above high water-mark, and part of her hull buried in sand and shingle. her guns and stores were got out of her, and several steamers were brought to tow her off, but it was utterly useless. The last accounts received stated that her crew were engaged in digging her out of the sand, and forming a channel about the beach, in order, it is conceived, to float her out, but there appeared not the slighest chance of this ever being effected, consequently there the ship must remain, and is a complete loss. ller Majesty's steamer Ardent was very nearly meet ing with a similar fate. She parted with her anchors, and the strength of the current wa s carrying the vessel towards the shore, when she came in contact with another ship of greater bulk than herself, which stopped her pro gress, and enabled the crew to secure her. During the same gale, further up the coast, at a place called Bucco, no fewer than fourteen vessels were stranded, two of which are reported to be ships of war.

COACH COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND NEWCASTLE.—On Monday, a new four-horse coach, the Magnet, commenced running between the above places, passing through Berwick. She leaves Edinburgh at four o'clock in the afternoon, and, proceeding at a rate equal to that of the mail, she arrives at I\ ewcastle in time for the train which leaves at six o'clock A.m. for London, where passen gers will arrive at eight o'clock, thus obviating the necessity of travelling on the rail under night. She again leaves New castle for the north at ten in the evening, passing through Berwick at five, and reaching Edinburg h in time for the eleven o'clock train to Glasgow. These arrangements seem to offer peculiar advantages to travellers, and such persons, we have no doubt, will show their appreciation of them.

Copy of Mr. Rendel's Report to the Admiralty on the Chester and Holyhead Railway.—(Ordered to be printed 10th ➢iay, 1844.) Mr. Rendel, in the commencement of his Report, states that " the subject being of great importance, and the interests involved numerous, the inquiry has necessarily occupied much time, and required close investigation. Accordingly I have been twice over the line, first with the Company's acting engineer, for information on such details as the Parliamentary plans and sections do not furnish, and the second time to satisfy myself upon several points that appeared doubtful, and to meet such parties interested in the navigation of the Foryd River and sundry shipping places on the coast which the line interferes with, as had intimated a wish to do so." The questions which, by desire of their Lordships, the Secretary to the Admiralty had submitted for Mr. Rendel's opinion were these : " 1. Which of the two proposed crossings of the Dee, at Chester, will least interfere with the navigation of that river? " 2. Whether the ground on the bank of the Dee, and the sea beach from thence to the Strait of Menai, will admit of the line being carried at such distance within high-water mark (without putting the parties to unrea sonable expense) as would leave the shore freely acces sible at all times? 4 ' 3. Can the railway be carried across the Foryd River at or above Rhyddlan, or in a manner that will interfere less with the navigation of that river than by the Company's plans? "4. Will the proposed bridge for crossing the Conway give the same headway as the suspension bridge now there? " 5. Cannot the line of railway be carried on arches in front of the town of Holyhead, so as not to cut off all communication at high water between the houses and the harbour? " 6. Does Captain Beechey's plan for enlarging Holy head Harbour appear to possess any advantages over Mr. Walker's plan; and what is your own opinion on the best position for the harbour? " 7. The difference in cost of tho plans; and " 8. Whether, if it appear that the line of railway cannot be so modified as to preserve that ample space on the beach which those interested in the navigation, and the inhabitants of the coast generally, have a fair right to demand, the line could be carried by Mold, as sug gested in one of the petitions?" On the first question, Mr. Rendel reports— _ " Neither of the proposed lines will interfere with the part of the river which is now navigated. The direct London line is proposed to cross the river considerably above the old bridge and wear, beyond which barges even cannot pass. The other line, which may be called the direct Liverpool line, crosses about half a mile below Chester new bridge, which limits the navigation for sea going vessels. This half mile of river would therefore be made by the railway unavailable to such craft as could not lower their masts.' But he adds, afterwards— " I am, therefore, of opinion that the Company should be permitted to cross the Dee in either or both of the s ituations shown in their Parliamentary plans , provided the bridges be made of the capacity and form described." On the second question, after stating that " the whole distance referred to here, is upwards of sixty miles, and in this length there are essential differences in the character and appropriation of the coast and the adjoining country;" Mr. Rendel enters into a minute description of the physical features and forma tion of these different districts of coast, &c., along the bank of the Dee at Chester, to the point of Air in Flintshire, from the point of Air to Rhyddlan and Abergele, and the points of Penmaen-rhos, through which it is proposed to carry a tunnel four hundred yards long ; and he reports to this effect— " I am of opinion, therefore, that the company should be required to make this alteration in the tunnel, and keep the line proportionably inland on either side of it, and that in all places where it encroaches on the coast it should be retained by a perpendicular wall, widened out at intervals of five hundred yards, so as to form side slipways down to the beach; such slips being made at least fifteen feet wide, and their inclination not exceed- ing ono in twelve. Walls would not be more inacces sible to shipwrecked sailors than the present cliffs, gene rally speaking, are; whilst the proposed slipways would be an added convenience, that could not be otherwise than of great service in sending assistance to stranded vessels, and for the escape of their crews. Of course such slipways should not be used unless with the permis sion of the railway company, excepting in cases of wreck, when the police of the railroad, and the rapidity with which assistance could be brought, would prove of great service. The slips should incline from west to east, and within the reach of high water they should be se curely paved. On this part of the coast I consider per pendicular stone walls with slips in every respect prefer able to stone-paved slopes of the kind pfoposed, which, if made sufficiently flat, would encroach greatly on the beach, without offering a single advantage over perpen dicular walls. From west of Colwyn to beyond Conway the line is inland, excepting where it passes along the slope of Conway-bridge embankment. At Penmaen bach and Penmaen-mawr, the line is necessarily carried along the face of the cliffs for some distance. It also of necessity intersects detached portions of the beach, but in no one case to any extent as to length or protrusion. I should certainly recommend the adoption of a short tunnel through the point of Penmaen-bach, by which means the encroachment on the coast would be reduced, and the security of the works increased. In all cases of encroachment, a perpendicular wall, with slipways to the beach, in the manner before proposed, should be insisted on ; and with this provision, I am of opinion that the line on this division also would be unobjectionable in 1 every nautical point of view." , To the third question he replies, "There are no physical difficulties in the way of carrying the line across the Foryd at Rhydillan ; ' but he recommends certain deviations from the plans submitted. To the fourth question he answers — "I am of opinion that the company should be required to make the new bridge of equal capacity with the pre sent one, in headway and waterway." Of the fifth, he reports— " If the line of railway be permitted to encroach upon the harbour, as shown in the Parliamentary plans, it should certainly be carried on arches, which is very practicable. I am, however, of opinion, that no ad vantages are to be derived by the continuation of the railway beyond the eastern limits of the town, which can in any way compensate for the injury it would in flict on the harbour, even if carried on arches. . . . My opinion, therefore, is, that the railway should terminate east of the harbour, which would prevent injury to the town and harbour, whilst only occasioning an omnibus distance of three-quarters of a mile, in place of one quarter of a mil., to the present packet pier." In answer to the sixth question the details are very curious, whereby Mr. Rendel illustrates the re lative elements for preference as between the plans of Mr. Walker and Capt. Beechey ; and also those of a plan now submitted to the Board of Admiralty by himself. We subjoin the whole of this portion of the report : ' " Captain Beechey's plan incloses an area of 176 acres, by 4,100 feet of breakwater, and 3,000 feet of pier ; whilst Mr. Walker's plan incloses only 90 acres, by 3,300 feet of breakwater, and 2,500 feet of pier.
