SIB,—It really seems conduct of almost incredible inconsistency on your part to issue the advertisement which has lately appeared from vonr Board (and whose object is only to delay the progress of in quiry), after your own statement at the Meeting on the 2d inst., that you would court investigation, and your absolutely seconding the re solution to that eff.•ct. The whole tenor, indeed, of that advertise ment, which you signed, or, more:probably, prompted, is fallacious and jesuitical, from the array of names at the head, many of which belong to gentlemen absent from town, and who could knciw nothing of your proceeding, to the promise at the conclusion that a General Meeting should be held as soon as it is consistent with the interests of the Company. By this latter clause you mean, possibly, " when it is consistent with the interests of the lawyers," who are, it is well known, well cared for, though net too well, by the members of your Board I rejoice to perceive that the Committee of Investigation do not in tend to allow your announcement to stop them in completing the im portant task they have undertaken.

SOLICITOR—Joaerh Cary, Esq., - 52, Moorgate-street, London. There are some distinguishing features in this projected railway calculated to give it a decided preference over foreign railways generally. let. The preliminary concession for ninety years, under very fa vourable terms, has been already obtained from the Belgian Govern ment, so that there is no risk of present or future competition, or necessity for agreeing to cib'advantafzeous terms in order to obtain such concession. As, according to the law of England, a certain amount must be deposited before a railway Bill be read in Parlia ment, so a deposit must be paid into the public treasury of Belgium, to be afterwards a• propriated to the construction of the line, which deposit completes the agreement already entered into. 2. This railway is the second that has been offered to private en terprise, as distinguished from the State system of railways. hitherto prevalent in Belgium. It embraces a line of country inferior to none in Europe. As elements of profit the traffic and transit will be very great, the line running through the richest, most fertile, and mos po pulous part of Belgium, abounding in minerals, coal, iron, lead, zinc. &c., with quarries of building stone and marble: and connecting it self with the railways of the State, and also with the great line from Calais to Cologne, and, by an intended branch from Mons to Manage (for which the preliminary concession has also been obtained), uniting itself with another great line between Brussels and Paris, which con nects the capitals of two kingdoms. 3d. Its length from Namur to Liege is 4S English miles, and the line from Mons to Manage, comprehended in the convention with the Minister, 22 miles, making a total of 6514 miles of railway. The line fiom Namur to Liege, in addition to the Belgian Government survey undertaken by M. Magis, has been subjected to the inspection of Mr. Rennie, and the estimate applied to this line carefully checked by him. 4th. On the banks of the river and on the line of this railway there are already twenty-two smelting furnaces, two foundries, three roll ing mills, twenty-three forges, several zinc and copper works, glass houses, saw-mills for wood and marble, paper-mills, potterieP, and fire-brick manufactories. What these may be when the railway is in operation may be gathered from the evidence adduced before Par liament in England, that the average effect of railways has been to quadruple the transit and traffic previously existing. The increase in Belgium has hitherto more than doubled this ratio, which must be further increased by the opening of the German markets, through the operation of the Zoliverein. sth. The reprm,ibility of Shareholders is limited by the Belgian law to 3- Mtn of the amount of the value of the shares.

Report of George Rennie, Esq., C.E., F.R.S., above referred to. To the Chairman and Committee of the proposed Railway from Namur to Lie ze. Gentiemen,—Agreeably to your' request I proceeded to Pelgium in the earl , part of the present month, and on the sth and 6th instant, in company with Monsieur Magic, the engineer of the Government, and by whom the plans and other documents were prepared, having made a minute examination of the whole line of country through which the railway passes. and compared the plans and sections of the same, and having also investigated the various calculations rela tive to the cost Of constructing the railway, and compared them with similar documents relative to the existing railways of the State, I am of opinion that the proposed line of railway Is laid out with judgment anti accuracy, and every way worthy of the repu tation of Monsieur Magic ; that it is very easy of execution, that it presents no difficulties of cutting and embankments, or works of art, that the inclinations scarcely exceed the inclinations of the river Meuse, to which it runs parallel, and that it is one of the easiest and best lines in Behium. The works can be executed for the estimate. And, finally, that as a commercial line it is situate in the most fertile and richest district in the kingdom, particularly in minerals, with which it abounds, and that as a main trunk line from the cast to the west part of the kingdom it combines great local and great political advantaces, inasmuch as it unites the mineral and manu facturing districts with the passenger traffic from Calais to Paris, Calais: to Cologne, Calais to Dijou and Lyons, and to the countries eastward of Liege, and it: only requires the junction of the Manage and Mons Rail rays, likewise comprehended in the con cession, to render this one of the most complete railways on the Continent. I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, London, March 2 2 , 1845 . GEORGE RENNIE, Form of Application for Shares.

This light causes no smoke, cannot emit blacks, breaks no chimneys, creates no smell, requires no cleaning, and in its construction is so simple, that any person can trim it. - It is so economical that, while producing the light of two argand oil lamps, or the light of twenty candles, it costs no more than two candles. This oerfect lamp fitted to persons' own pedestals, for 23 shillings, all complete. To be seen burning at Clark's Lamp'Depot, 447, West Strand (op osite Warren's Blacking bfanufaetory).

QCHWEPPE'S SODA and other ALKALINE Ly WATERS continue to be manufactured, as usual, upon the largest scale, at- their several establishments, and to maintain their supremacy over all others. Sixty years' experience, added to the unvarying favour of the public during that long period, have enabled them to sustain the reputation they acquired as the original inventors of Aerated Waters ; and their manufactories at Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby, enable them to supply all the provi , ces with equal faci lity to from their principal establishment in London. Respectable agents will be found in every city and town in England, Scotland, and Wales, as well as in all the large towns on the eastern coast of Ireland.

Several private apartments devoted entirely to the above purpose, and Eome of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it ne cessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.

BRAZILS. Her Majesty's packet Linnet, Lieut. Dicken commanding, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday morning,, and landed her mails just at the moment of- the mail-coach leaving for London, so that her bags were posted on en mane, without being sorted. She left Rio de Janeiro on the loth of Feb., and brought freight in gold, and diamonds to about 16,0001. in value. Her passengers were dies-sre. Thomas and Priestley and a miner.

Business in all branches had been exceedingly limited; the several markets had been destitute of the slightest interest, and apathy had been in the several departments a characteristic feature.

J. Hymns, of Camberwell, the Rev. J. Pizey, and several other elergymen of different denominations of religion. The meeting having been addressed by some of the reverend gentlemen on the platform, resolutions were unanimously agreed to, in efect, that it was inconsistent with a Protestant faith te appropriate any portion of the public revenue fim- the endowment of Popery; that there was no contract by which the Legislature was bound to make the grant annual, and that the meeting pledged itself to offer every constitutional opposition to the measure. A petition, founded upon the resolutions, was also agreed to, when, thanks being voted to the Gallant Chair man, who briefly replied, the meeting brok e . dRANT TO MAYNOOTEL—Monday evening a large meeting of the ministers and congregations of the various churches and chapels at the east end of the metropolis was held at the Eastern Institution, Commercial-road, fir the purpose of opposing the Government grant to Maynooth College.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST K ENT.—MA DSTONE, MONDAY EVENING.—This afternoon a numerously attended and most important meeting of the freeholders of the western division of the county of Kent was held in the spacious ball room of the Star Hotel, High-street, Maidstone, opposite the Town-hall. Long before the hour appointed for holding the meeting carriages began to arrive, containing several of the most influential gentlemen and yeomen in the district. By one o'clock not fewer than three hundred had assembled. .Captain Marsham, took the chair. Captain A ust i n proposed the lion. Viscount Holinesdale (son of the venerable Earl Amherst, of Noel t'ark, Sevenoaks) as a fit and proper person to represent the freeholders of the western division of the county of Kent in Parliament. The resolution having been seconded, and carried unanimously, Viscount Holmes dale then addressed the meeting, declaring himself in favour of protection to agriculture, opposed to the Anti-Corn-law League, and a supporter of the policy of Sir Robert Peel.

Captain Grover has received a letter from Dr. Wolff, written on board the steam-boat at Malta from whence he expected to sail on the 28th ult. and to arrive at Southampton about the 10th inst. On Dr. Wolff's arrival in London a public meeting will be held, - when he will give an account of his perilous journey and residence at Bokhara. At Constantinople Dr. Wolff was received most kindly by Sir Stratford Canning, who defrayed his expenses from that place to Southampton. As this is probably the last occasion Captain Grover will have to report Dr. Wolff's progress, he is happy to state, that during the whole of his journey Dr. Wolff has experienced the greatest kindness and most effective assistance from every one in the service of her Majesty. - THB MURDER IN ST. GILES'S.—The prisoner upon being taken to Newgate on Saturday evening was placed in one of the cells situate in the upper part of that portion of the gaol known as the chapel-yard, and two men appointed to sit up with him during the night. Upon passing through the various passages leading to his cell he held his head down, and appeared as if anxious to escape the observation of his fellow-prisoners. On Sunday he attended divine ser vice in the chapel, and was led to his seat by one of his gaolers. He pa►d particular attention to the service, seldom raising his eyes from the book. After returning to his cell he complained of a slight headache, after which he remained silent for several hours. The person who is appointed to watch him during the day describes him as of the most sul len temperament, sitting for hours together without speak ing. Yesterday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, his mother visited him, and had a long conversation with him ; she was very much affected, and repeatedly shed tears. The prisoner was also evidently much distressed in his feelings, although making the most strenuous efforts to conceal it After her departure the prisoner hurried back to his cell, and appeared very much dejected; indeed, it is the opinion of those who are about him, and who from their experience in such matters are entitled to some attention, that his courage, which is but assumed, will shortly entirely desert him, and if (as it is but too probable from the state of the calendar) his trial should not come on before next session, he will ere , that make some species of confession. SUPPOSED MURDER OF A CHILD AT 'HAMPSTEAD. —Monday morning, about half-past five o'clock, as police constable Maekaye, 123 S, was proceeding round his beat, between Haverstock-terrace and the Load of Hay, he dis covered lying in the ditch, alongside the main road, a green stuff bundle. On opening it, he found the body of a remark.. ably fine male child, apparently about a week old. The body was in the first instance conveyed by the police to the station house in Heath-street, and from thence to the Yorkshire Grey, where it was seen by Mr. Gower, surgeon, of Hamp stead, whose opinion was that the deceased had been born alive, and had lived several days. Information having been forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the coroner, ho at once issued his warrant to Mr. Gower to make a post modern examination of the body. On Saturday the annual general meeting of the members of the Society of Schoolmasters was held in the apartments of the Literary Fund, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury ; the Rev. Dr. Russell in the chair. The report was read by Octavius Blewitt, Esq. The Secre tary stated, that his Majesty the King of the French, who had been for many years a member of the Society, had presented this year an additional donation of 10/: The Association was established in 1798, and during the first thirteen years of its existence, had given to forty families of distressed schoolmasters the sum of 7,000 L, and 5,0001. in other charitable donations.

SPECIAL MBEDNG. A special meeting of the Catholic Institute of Great Britain was held yesterday at the Great Room, Freemasons' Hall, Ferment, is public advertisement, ter the purpose of making certain amendments and alterations in the rules, "at the suggestions of the Vicars Apostolic of England, in a commu ' 'neat ion made by them to 'the Committee on 29th August, 1844, and tinder the sanction of their Lordships assembled in London at the present time ; also, to extend and increase the efficacy of the Catholic Institute, and to add to their other oljects that of•embracigg the furtherance of charitable education." `The meeting was very numerously and most respectably attended, and a great number of ladies wcupied the seats immediately in flout of the platform and the chair. Amongst the distinguished advocates of the institute present were the Right Hon. the Earl. of Shrewsbury Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Vicar Apeieolic °Menden, the Hon. Edward Petre, Phillip Howard, Esq., M.P., Right Rev. Dr. Brown, Bishop Apostolic of Wales ; Right Hon. Lord Senator' ; Hon. Charles Langdale; Right Rev. 1)r.

Lythgoe, Sisk, O'Connor,O'Neal, Hearne, T. M. Maedenell, Shortly a fte r one o'clock the Right Hon, the Earl of Shrewsbury took the •chair, and the Secretary read the re pert ofthe'Cominittee, in which regret was expressed t's at the institution was in a rapidly declining state, and that tie rerun , it was feared it must be dissolved, the subscriptions having very much taller oil' ; but it' any suggestionscould be made for its resuscitation and eili.ctive continuation, the Com mittee would be happy to use their best efforts to carry it out. The report recommended that the Hon. C. Langdale should be appointed Chairman, and the Hon. E. Petre as Vice- Chairman of the Institute, if it should be continued ; that a Committee should be appointed, consisting of seven cler gymen, and that the Secretary should also be a clergyman. When the Secretary had concluded reading the report, The Noble CHAIRMAN arose, and was received with loud cheering. His Lordship► e said that the objects for which they weremet were so well understood that it would be unneces sary for him to make any - obeervations, and therefore he would propose that they proceed immediately with the business of the day. The Hon. C. leteereite, M.P., proposed the first resolu' time lie expressed the satisfaction it afforded him to see so large an assembly of their lordships, the vicars•apostolic, present ; and he hoped to have the pleasure of congratulating the meeting_ upon healing their lordships state that the ' proposed alteration of the rules of the institute had 1110, with their approbation. The Honourable Gentleman then read the proposed alterations, and proceeded to say that he would not delay the meeting by any lengthened observa tions, as there were several others present who would wish to address it. But there was one point which he felt bound to say a few words upon, namely, the promotion of charitable education.—(Cheers.) Ile hoped it would not be supposed that he meant to give any offence to any sect or party, for such was not. his intention. But he would ask what was the state of the poor Rom: n Catholics of Great Britain in respect to education ?—(llear, hear.) It was a deplorable fact that tile Catholic poor chibireu were, in very many instances, brought up in such awful ignorance of their religion as was terrible to think of. Ile conceived that great and blameable indeed was the amount of responsibility incurred by those upon whom devolved the duty of rescuing these poor chil dren from this fearful ignorance, and he by no means meant to say that he himself was free from it.—(Hear, hear.) When he looked around, and beheld the noble temples erected in this country by Catholic munificence to honour the great Creator, he could not but reflect that those who could afford to contribute towards the erection of such magnificent temples—not more meg• nificent than they should be could also afford to lend their aid in rescuing from a lite of vice and sin, and spiritual destitution, the poor catholic children of this country.—( Hear, hear.) He had commenced by saying he would not trespass long on the meeting, and, therefore, he would now conclude by expressing his most earnest hope that this subject would be taken up with an interest that it de served, and in a manner becoming the rank, station, wealth, and respectability of the Catholics of England.—(Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. Sisx seconded the resolution. He had heard it said that there was apathy on the part of the wealthy Catholics iu this cause, but he could not bring him- • self to believe .it—(Cheers)—and be was borne out in be lieving the contrary when he beheld such a meeting as the present; and he had no doubt that the result of this day's proceeding would prove that he did not estimate too highly • the zeal of the Catholics of England for the maintenance of their holy religion.—( Loud cheers.) What stronger proof could he have of the interest taken in this institute than the presence of their noble and munificent Chairman-.-(Cheers) t — sm a n n o cl r.), o , f a tl t ic gn l.lo a i t e p ll e l rs r o . L na a i ng in d c a o l i e 4e w i t n l home his to i attend the here.—(Cheers.) It was a melancholy fact that, out of 4 4,000 Catholic children in London, on ly 6.0(X) received edu claedtole himself, cation, and that fact would of itself be sufficient, he felt as sured, to arouse the most apathetic.—(Cheers.) Tlie Rev. DreGmertens. Bishop of Olena and Vicar Apos tolic of London, said he had the pleasure to inform the meeting that the proposed alt.( rations had met with the en tire approbation of the Vicars Apostolic. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The lion. P. How:title M.P. proposed the next resolution', " That the llote Messrs. Langdale and Petre be appointed Chairman 31111 Vice-Chairman of the Institute," and in doing so spoke of the merits of those gentlemen as advocates of Catholicity, and stated that the latter gentleman had re ceived a marked personal compliment at the hands of the Sovereign Politill'.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jones, of Clytliti (Wales), seconded the resolution,- which was 'carried by acclimation. it contained-aloe names .f those who are to form the Committee. The Right Rev. Dr. BRIGGS, Vicar Apostolic of the Western District, proposed the third resolution, calling for renewed support and re-organisation of the Catholic Insti tute. Ile said he knew no object which should be so dear to Catholics, or one that should be taken up with deeper interest than the education of the poor.— (Lend cheers.) • lle hoped much from beholding such a meeting as this, attended as it was by their Noble Chair man, the great number of prelates, and members of the noble Catholic families' of this country.—(Cheers.) The presence of such men carried him back to a contemplation of the limes when the Catholic aristocracy of England looked upon their religion as their best and most valuable inherit ance.—(Cheers.) Amongst those to whom the Catholics, and particularly the Catholic clergy, owed much, was the Hon. Mr. Langdale, who, in his capacity of Member of Par liament, had never flinched front the advocacy of the Ca tholic cause.—(Loud cheers.) Ile (Dr. Briggs) felt deeply the awful responsibility that' devolved on him as a Catholic Bishop, when he reflected upon the want of educa tion amongst the poor Catholic children of this country.— (Hear, hear.) Nothing could be more fearful to contem plate than a )111111311 being reared up from infancy in this state—(llear, hear)—while, at the same time, nothing could be more easy than to impress upon a youth the value of religious education, Mr youth was like wax, and very sus ceptible of any impressions sought to be made. upon it.— (near, hear ) Why, then, was it, that while the mother carefully guarded her tender offspring, that child was abandoned by its spiritual mother atter it had been spiritually born in baptism?—(Hear.) Let this state 'of things no longer be a cause of shame to those who could re move it, but, like the old man in the Scriptures, let them " sow their seed in the morning, and water it and tend it all day." Mr. BAGSUAWE, editor of the Dublin Review . ' seconded the resolution. He was h a p py to see every Catholic district of London represented here, and he, himself, represented the very poorest of their districts.—(Hear, hear.), He took shame to himself that this institution had been suffered to decline ; but he saw by this meeting that it would not only be revived, but kept up with an intent and deterMination worthy of so great a cause.—(Cheers.) Now was the time f or a ll - to co-operate in this beneficent work, rich as well as poor. for all could be of use to some extent, no matter how humble.—(Bear, hear.) But all , efforts would be of little use indeed if they had not the sinews of war, and therefore let those who could do it now build up the edifice of which they laid the foundation, and he would lend all the aid in his humble power.—(Cheers.) The Right Rev. Dr. Bitowx proposed the next resolution. He said he felt proud of the honour of addressing such a meeting as this, while at the same time he felt great humi lity at the circumstances under which the meeting had been called. He differed from the Rev. Gentleman who said there was no apathy on the part of the Catholics, for, if there were not, this institute would never have de clined.—(Hear, hear.) lle did not allude to individuals,- but to the great body of the Catholics of Great Bri ftaachtLt—h a ( t ir Catholics hear.) 'Phis stateapt t for getful that, without good works, such as feeding the hungry, o to f apathy le l, on w t a h s ei o r w r i a n i g th to the clothing the naked, and giving shelter to the destitute, their faith would be of no avad.—(llear, hear.) He had heard k said that tract. need no longer be issued to the same extent as had been; but he, as representing a most miserable dis trict, should say he totally dissented from such a proposition. —(Hear, hear.) lie contended that those tracts were most useful; but he deplored the want of schools in the principality or Wales, in some parts of which he was aware of a few poor children assembling for instruction in a one-horse stable into which light and air were admitted only through the door.—(" Oh, oh.") But he looked forward now with hope, for a happy future, and this day, he had no doubt, would be the great and good beginning of that bright future.—SCheers.) The Ilon. Mr. Prrite seconded the resolution. He would not presume to delay the meeting by makin g a speech, after the very eloq uen t addresses they had heard e cou ld from those who h a d preceded him. But h not refrain from reminding those he now saw around him of' the many times he had addressed them from that place, and endeavoured to impress upon them the necessity of making exertions to save th e poor Catholics f rom the continued allbrts of their enemies at prosleytism —(Hea r ,hear.) Their enemies had insulted them by taunts to the effect that their clergymen meant to keep them i n Catholics, by th e i r apathy, corroi r a o t r e angL e let ta t u io n t ts t . he (Loud cheer s .) L et them also remember the debt of grati tude they owe d the Catholic soldier, and dis c ha rge th a t debt by ensuring to him the means of salvation when he should full in the defence of his country.—(Cheers.) • He felt pleasure in bearing testimony to the munificent contri bution of their chairman, Mr. Langdale, and others.— (Cheers.) But let not persons unblessed by the possession of great wealth say, they should do nothing because they could not contribute as large sums as Lord Shrewsbury, or Lord Stourton, or others—(theers)—for the 1/., or the smallest contributions of the poor man, would be as thankfully received as the 1001. of the rich.—(Cheers.) He hoped also that per sons would not become apathetic from the belief that Government would aid them, for he could assure them that no such aid would Le given.—( Hear.) The lion. CllAßlES.Quynnti) proposed the fifth resolution. Ile congratulated the meeting and the Catholic cause in seeing so many of the Vicars Apostolic present, for their pre sence augured well for the prosperity of. this institution.— (Hear.) He regretted to have to annnounce that her Ma jesty had lately deemed it expedient that he should retire front an office he held in the county in which he resided, for he was the only Catholic landed proprietor in that county ; but that tact should not lessen his desire for the advance ment of his religion, which only needed the co-operation of the people with the clergy to crown their efforts with success.—(Cheers.) The Rey. Mr. LYTIIGOE seconded the resolution, which was a vote of thanks to the prelates for their attendance. lie said that nearly 2,000 poor children received education in Preston from the clergy and the sisters of charity, but the funds were supplied from the pennies of the poor.—:(Cheers.) After a few words from the Rev. Mr. M•Donnell the reso lution was carried amidst loud cheers. The usual votes of thanks were then passed, and the meet ing separated. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton and family have akired . - iu Belgrave:square for the season.
