" We are sensible, Sire, that to the wisdom and vigour of your Majesty's councils, and to your increasing en deavours to promote the truest interest of the powerful and generous nation which Providence has committed to your care, may be greatly attributed the reigning tran quillity of Europe, and we venture to augur, that by en couraging a friendly and personal intercourse between your Majesty and the Sovereign of Great Britain, your Majesty adopts the surest means, not only of strengthen ing the happy and stable alliance between the two coun tries, but of encouraging the Governments of surrounding kingdoms in the maintenance of their present amicable relations with each other. " May your Majesty be long spared, in unison with our Gracious Sovereign, to cultivate the arts of peace. May your Majesty's constant and zealous exertions to advance the general welfare of mankind be crowned by the dutiful and loyal attachment of all classes of the gal lant and enlightened people whose destinies are placed under the wise and paternal government of your Ma jesty ; and may the two mighty empires of Great Bri tain and France be so indissolubly connected by the re lations of amity and concord, as to ensure and perpetuate to both, and the world at large, the blessings of un interrupted peace and repose. Given under the common seal of the said Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses, at the Guildhall, in the said borough, on the Bth day of October, in the eighth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lady Victoria, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight-hundred and forty-four." The Town Clerk, having read the address, returned it to the mayor, wh o pl ace d it i n th e h an d s o f the King of the French, by whom it was most graciously received. His Majesty having handed the document to M. Guizot, who stood immediately upon the King's right, advanced somewhat nearer to the Corporation than the position he had previously occupied, and addressing himself to that body, spoke as follows : " - Mr: Mayor, .Aldermen, and Burgesses of the bo rough of Windsor,—l feel most grateful to her Majesty Queen Victriria for having permitted you to present this address t', - ) me. I receive it with the most cordial thanks, imprP:ssed with the kind reception I have met with from al ) . classes of her Majesty's subjects since my arrival in this country. I was most happy last year to perceive the sentiments of the French people, when her Majesty fa voured: me with a visit at Eu. I was most happy to entertain her Majesty under my own roof on that occa sion, and rejoiced at the interchange of social feelings which then took place. The union of France and Eng land is of great importance to both nations, not from any wish of aggrandisement, however. Our view should be peace, while we leave every other country in the pos session of those blessings which it has pleased Divine Providence to bestow on them. Happy I am that you appreciate my constant endeavours, assisted by a wise Government at home, to promote the most friendly and peaceful relations between the two countries. France has nothing to ask of England, and England has nothing to ask of France, but cordial union. I thank you for this very kind address, and I consider it a privilege that I have had the good fortune to express before you the sentiments with which my heart is filled." The above excellent reply was spoken by his Majesty with marked emphasis and feeling. In alluding to the desirableness of maintaining peace between the two countries, his Majesty spoke with considerable energy and fluency, and, at the close of his remarks, bowed courteously to each of the deputation, alI of whom imme diately retired from the royal presence. GRAND NAVAL BALL TO THE OFFICERS OF THE FRENCH SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK, A.N.—This magnificent fete, given by the British officers of the ships in commission at this port, to the officers of the French squadron, is now in its zenith, and a more splendid or exhilirating spectacle than the entertainment, at this moment, was perhaps seldom before witnessed. The place chosen for the ball-room is the spacious quadrangle of the Royal Naval College, which has been formed into a pavilion, beautifully tapestried from the ceiling to the floor with the flags and ensigns of all na tions, amongst which the royal standard of England is naturally most conspicuous. The floor (a boarded one of course) is elegantly carpeted, and the immense area is lighted by three splendid chandeliers suspended from the ceiling, which throw a flood of light on the beautiful and glittering throng below. A large transparency, with medallion likenesses of King Louis Philippe and Queen Victoria, with the French and English crowns, and the initials L. P. V." wreathed with palm branches, ornaments the extreme end of the ball-room, opposite the grand entrance, and above the orchestra occupied by Weippert's band. This specimen of art, we understand, was executed by Mr. Martin, of the dockyard, assisted by one of the naval officers, at a moment's notice, entirely from memory, and without the aid of a copy ; and taking this latter circumstance into consideration, it is really a very creditable performance. Over the grand entrance, in the interior of the ball room, is a radiant sun formed with broad swords, the centre-piece being a shining metal imitation of the orb of day, and along the walls a quantity of musketry and other arms are displayed in a manner similar to that adopted in the guard-chambers of our various royal palaces. There are three orchestras, two fitted up as side galleries, occupied respectively by the Marine band and the band of the 59th Regiment, and the third, at the extreme end, occupied, as we have already stated, by Weipperc's celebrated quadrille band. The band, play alternately, and (as every where else) the Polka is still in the ascendant. Beyond the ball-room, and occupying the space known as the covered-way, is the supper-room, where the celebrated Gunter reigns lord paramount, and here taste has done its utmost to gratify both eye and palate in most lavish profusion, and wines and liquors of the choicest and most expensive kind flow forth in the richest abundance, whilst beautiful vases, containing the rarest exotic and autumnal flowers, send forth their grateful perfume, gratifying every sense, and leaving hardly a wish unprovided for. This apartment is lighted from gold and silver candelabra. The number of per sons present is variously estimated at 1,150, 1,200, and 1,300, and we believe that the last-mentioned number is not an exaggeration. The company began to arrive about nine o'clock, and were received by a number of officers in full uniform. The entrance-hall and pass age to the ball-room were decorated in a similar manner to that already described, the former being lighted up by a brilliant star of Brunswick. The exterior of the building was handsomely illuminated with myriads of variegated lamps, the impressive word " Welcome" being displayed along the entire front of the college. The orrery was fitted up in the most handsome manner, as a reception-room for the ladies, and the fencing-room was used as a cloak-rbore, and the library, for the first time, was occupied by card parties. The students' dining-room was the only apartment in the building not converted from its usual purpose, it having been devoted to the dispensation of refreshments. The following officers acted as stewards, and were decorated with elegant favours of white satin, orna mented with silver flowers :—Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Rear-Admiral Parker, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclaronce, Captain Rowley, Commander Lowe, Com mander Crawford, Captain Corry, Captain Mowbray, Commander Matson, Commander Harris, Commander Thompson, Lieutenant Cracroft, Lieutenant Fade, Lieu tenant Farro, Lieutenant Shere, Commander Shering ham, Lieutenant Chamberlain, Lieutenant Hynde, Lieutenant Herbert, Mr. Pechell, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Clerk, &c. Daring the setting down of the company. which lasted from nine until twelve o'clock, the stewards had cer tainly no sinecure, for, faithful as sentinels, there stood Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, and a glittering array of colleagues, vieing with each other in polite attention to their guests. Outside the gates of the Dockyard the scene, as regarded the continuous stream of carriages, more resembled St. James's-street on a Drawing-room day than a mere sea-port ball, conceived in a hurry, and carried into effect with only a few days' note of prepara tion. The line of vehicles appeared almost intermin able and here the resemblance to the Court gala ceases, for almost every description of conveyance, from the aristocratic carriage to the, humble one-horse fly, ap peared to have been pressed into the service for the occasion. Antiquated stage-coaches, railway omni buses, and obsolete post-chaises, all did duty, the latter with an affected air of former briskness which would have excited even the sympathy of a road-side innkeeper. The floating bridge which plies between Gosport and Portsmouth, and which usually rests from its labours at ten o'clock, was kept going backward and forward during the entire night for the convenience of the nu merous guests who came from Southampton and the neighbourhood of the New Forest. The last trains from London contributed not a little to swell the list of the company ; but so dilatory was the ingress through the single gate of the Dock-yard, which had to let the empty carriages pass out as well as to admit the full ones, that numerous parties were obliged to quit their vehicles and proceed to the ball-room on foot. Owing to the anxiety of some parties to gain early admittance, and who were thereby induced to attempt to break into the rank, several casualties occurred, which are likely to afford employment to the coach-wrights of the vicinity for some time to come. The police being occasionally obliged to shut the gate rather abruptly, the horses of the first carriage were frequently startled back, and in a moment the crashing of poles and panels ran like electricity through the entire chain. With the ex ception of this unavoidable inconvenience the whole of the arrangements were admirable, and nothing could ex ceed the order and regularity with which the entire affair was conducted. At half-past ten o'clock, Admiral La Susse and the other French officers who had dined with Admiral Parker at his residence in the Dock-yard, arrived in a suite of carriages at the ball-room, and, im mediately on their entrance, the band of the 59th Regi ment struck up La Parisienne. From this moment the enjoyment grew " fast and furious," and never was such a scene witnessed in Portsmouth or its neighbour hood before. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

The Hunter's Stakes of 10 sous. each, h ft. Heats, once round. ___.... On Friday a very full meeting of the medical profes sion of Bristol, to take into consideration the new Bill brought in by Sir James Graham, was held in the theatre of the Philosophical Institution. Mr. W. MormsiEa, having been called to the chair, briefly opened the proceedings, and called upon Dr. Sraimosis, who, in moving the first resolution, said he thought they were greatly indebted to her M a j es ty' s Government o forrw wasahr a dt vi hs n eh g fig re i s n ht t e r A,r o ai d li n u ai c hs e t od d re txohtfee extensive ec a a s r u om r w e en . a sw S uhr i oe r had ja m es brought Graham of medical reform. He thought the Bill, as a whole, had been carefully framed, though is was faulty in some of its clauses. There could be but one opinion as to the advantages which would arise from the appointment of a central council of health; an authorised register of legally qualified practitioners would be also highly ad vantsgeous. But, while he thus confessed his ap proval of the Bill as a whole, he was not blind to its faults, the principal of which was the want of proper protection to the qualified practitioner. They ought, therefore, to demand such protection, and that the charlatan or contraband practitioner should be subject to penal consoquences. He knew it might be said, the register would be open to the public, who might thus select properly qualified practitioners, and that it was a part of the liberty of an Englishman to select whom he pleased ; for, if they were foolish enough to select unqualified persons, they weuld them selves suffer for their folly. But he would ask, was it just for the Government to encourage imposture, or was it correct for a Government to allow the public health to be placed at the mercy of unskilful pretenders ? They certainly ought not to go before the Government with an argument= ad inisencordiam, but they ought to speak firmly, but respectfully, and demand that protec-• tion to which they were entitled from the toils, the diffi culties, and the expense of the education which they had to acquire before entering on practise. They all knew that the medical practitioners had to toil from early dawn to dewy eve, and were often deprived of their rest for perhaps three nights in the week, and if for this any one of them obtained a remuneration equal to that ob tained by some person who ministered only to the arti ficial tastes of mankind, they were considered to .be rp ceiving a wonderful income. •Dr. Symtnoifg tlrp4 niOed' •• - • the following resolution ' " That this meeting has great pleasure in ientpressin'g its obligation to Sir James ,Graham an d her lliajest , 's Government for bringing before the Legisliiture• . 1 " long-agitated question of Medical .referm, and also for laying the ' Bill for the better-Regulation:of-Medical Practice throughout the United Kingdom' on the table of the House of Commons, so that it may ba well gin sidered by the medical profession during the Parliamen tary recess." Mr. COLTUURST having seconded the resolution, it was carried unanimously. Mr. in moving th e secon d resolution, saidth j. Cath:tySArNE' having been in practice for several years pre •vious to the passing of the Apothecaries Act, he could bear testimony to the many benefits which had arisen from it. Nothing could be more marked than the de cided improvement in the education and respectability of the medical practitioners since that period ; although when the profession endeavoured to get an Act, it was not intended to give the Apothecaries Company the powers they afterwards obtained under the Act, yet they had found who in that having oncecompan undertakes y men of the intelligencetask hadand i in tegrity, tegri ty w car ried it out in a most exemplary manner, and had in stituted regulations, and examinations, which hadgreatly raised the character of the profession. By the Apothe caries Act powers were given of legalising practitioners, and of punishing those who practised without passing the proper examinations and having pursued the pre scribed course of study, and he for one thought the for mer part of that Act would have been of very little use but for the power of punishment ; besides, it was well known that many medical students, as well as other per sons, would shirk the labour of the extreme study which p e r e g r s o o , n a s n e d o the uld e p x r a p c e t n i s s o e a a l s s o , w ife 11, e w y i f t o h u o n o d t that e unlicensed the hnaltilcteo t n r su o en u dd ble or expense.

(RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.) NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. NEWMARKET, SUNDAIt, Two" O'CLOCK, P.M. In the programme of the ensuing meeting, published on Saturday, we indicated by an asterisk the horses that were in the town up to Friday, omitting, however, Jamal, who should have been included in the arrivals. Since that time the following have arrived : —Lord Eglinton' , s Plaudit, Britannia, and Jamie Falshaw—Lord Glasgow's Give-him-a-Name, Sister to Give-him-a- Name, and colt by Velocipede, out of Amulet—Mr. I.

Una pulled up lame yeAerday morning. Lord Albemarle in , tends to run the Emperor and The Brewer, but not Delapre. It is not unlikely that William le Gros will come ; he ran second to Alice Hawthorn at Dumfries, and on the following night was backed at Manchester, at 14, 15, and 16 to 1. John Day has nothing here at present ; Old England will arrive to-morrow, but from the number of horses amiss in the stable, it is doubtful whether anything else will come. As yet, the arrivals are few ; but, from the orders for post-horses, and the number of places secured for the extra coaches, there is every reason for expecting one of the fullest meetings ever known. The only fashionable names that have reached us are the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Albe marle, Earl and Countess of Miltown, Lord C. Manners, the Hon. Capt. and Mrs. Rous, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. Anson, Hon. H. Forester, Hon. Capt. Spencer, Co lonel and Lady Alice Peel, Mr. C. Greville, Mr. 11. Greville, Mr. S. Graham, Mr. Worrall, Mr. Ramsbottom. Sir G. Heathcote will be at his old quarters, the Crown Inn, Chesterford. " That this meeting cannot concur in the justice er propriety of abolishing the existing enactments against unqualified practitioners, upon the plea of their ineffi ciency', but urges the practicability of making the law in this respect more simple and effective." Mr. STAPLES seconded the resolution, which was passed unanimously. Mr. WALDO moved the third resolution : " That this meeting considers the appointment of a Council of Health and Medical Education' to be highly advantageous. but that its constitution is unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the " Licentiates of Medicine and Surgery' are nut adequately represented." Carried unanimously. Dr. O'BRIEN moved the fourth resolution Some showers fell yesterday afternoon and the course of the night, but the ground is still harder than trainers like ; a few hours of steady rain would be of immense service in this neghbourhood. The Ratan case comes on next Tuesday morning previous to the races ; the invpstigation is kinleitiikep- by the , tewar s it con.fic quence of a letter` -received from the Captain Eons atucl Lord Ildiftinct;'NiqueSting - them to inquire into all the circumstances connected with the affair, in order, to use an aneigtft but. not inapprOpriatephrase,:that the '`saddle may be plit - ori the right horse.- Old Vauxhall has cicsea its career for ever ; but a new one, in a More elevated 'spot, amid the fashionable world, is preparing to take its place, and entirely put in the shade all the former great doings of the old school. Littlejohn, long famed for his great tact, has added another and important wreath to his laurels by the style in which he has opened the Rosherville Gardens. By this enterprise ho has this season put seven thousand pounds of clear gain into his pocket. Next year he intends that Cremorne House (nearthe site of the Ranelagh Gardens in the olden time) shall eclipse even the transcendant fame of Rosherville. We see in our columns the miscellaneous appendages about these beautiful grounds do not accord with his views of the present times, and are consequently con signed to the hammer this month, in order that the approaching season may open with all the éclat which novelty and splendour combined will neces sarily ensure. PARIS AND ROUEN RAILWAY. —At the present rate of dividend, the shares would, to be on a par with the average price of the English lines, range about 551. or 561. The price of this stock is the subject of general remark. The meeting takes place on the 31st of this month. This is the answer to a correspondent of last week.—Railway Record. _ THE ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.—An intelligent correspondent says :—" I can confirm from personal knowledge your refutation of the Railway Magazine's assertion as to the opinion of the Great Western Di rectors of the atmospheric system. But I know also that Mr. Saunders still entertains strong doubts of the faci lity of working the traffic of a long line on the single at mospheric way (owing to its inflexibility,) particularly in connection with a locomotive line, the strictest punc tuality in starting the atmospheric trains being essential to secure safety at the sidings where the up and down trains pass, and to prevent delay ; whereas the locomo tive system cannot secure such great punctuality, nor essentially requires it with a double line. You have done so much to engage public favour in behalf of this admi rable invention, that the discussion of these points and illustration of the mode of working the atmospheric sidings would be of the highest value."—Railwayßecerd. We understand that the King of the French has been obliged to decline the Duke of Devonshire's cour teous invitation to Chatsworth. His Majesty's engage ments cannot permit of the King to prolong his sojourn in this country beyond Monday next, the day originally appointed for his Majesty's departure. PETERBOROUGH.—It is rather remarkable that not a single case of pocket-picking or robbery of any descrip tion at the late Peterborough fair has been brought to the notice of the Magistrates, either for the liberty or for Huntingdonshire, nor have we heard of any theft having been commtited ; such a circumstance has not been been known for many years.—Cambridge Chronicle. " That this meeting views with much satisfaction the beneficial results that must accruo from an authorised register of licensed practitioners, especially if such be compulsory and published annually. Carried unanimously. Mr. SMERDON proposed, and Mr. STANTON seconded, the fifth resolution, which, after some discussion and the addition of some words, was passed in the following form t-- POST-OFFICE MONEY ORDERS.— the suggestions for an alteration in the rate charged on Post-office money orders, noticed two days ago, have elicited some remarks on the side of the deputy post-masters, some of whom consider that they are not sufficiently remunerated for the increased trouble and risk -they incur in performing the part of their duty to which these money orders be long. Since the Government have taken the money order business into their own hands, it is said that the number of orders issued and paid has increased tenfold, and the revenue derived from them has increased 400 or 500 per cent. The trifling sum the postmasters receive per quarter, in lieu of their original .fises does not, they think, give them a proportionate share of the general benefit derived, especially as they are put to the ex penses of account books for the purpose, - and have to pay a fine of 2d. whenever an error is committed. What with the expenses, and what with fines, the deputy post masters seem to be of opinion that nearly the whole of their allowance is absorbed. That they do work enough for their money,is shown by the fact, which they bring forward, that every deputy postmaster who grants"-the Order has to make five separate entries, and that the deput' paling has to make four,— Times. " That this meeting believes the penal clauses will be inoperative in defending her Majesty's subjects from the mischievous practices of ignorant and unskilful pre tenders, as expressed in the preamble of the Bill, unless they include all those who act in the capacity of a me dical man without legal qualification, for the purpesc of gain. And that we hereby call on the Government to introduce a stringent clause into their Bill prohibiting unauthorised practice by a penal enactment, to be car ried into effect by some cheap and easy proceeding before a bench of magistrates, or by any other mode of access." Petitions were then adopted to both Houses of Par liament, and the meeting, which was a most respectable one, broke up.

ADDRESS OF THE CORPORATION OF WINDSOR TO THE KING OF THE FRENCH. His Majesty rose at his accustomed hour on Friday, and, after breakfasting with the Duke de Montpensier in his private apartments, spent a short period with the Queen and her Royal Consort. The King, having most graciously consented to receive the address of the body corporate of the borough of New Windsor on Friday, at ten o'clock, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors assembled at the Town-hall shortly before nine, for the purpose of completing the necessary arrangements prior to proceeding to the Castle. There were present—the Mayor, R. Blunt, Esq.; Aldermen Bannister, Snowden, Clode, Soley, and Twinch ; and the following Members of the Town Council :—Messrs. Bedborough, Berridge, Jennings, Tebbott, T. Adams, Ingleton, J. Jennings, H. Adams, Phillips, Darvill, Hanson; J. Clode, and W. W. Berridge. The Rev. Isaac Gossett, vicar and chaplain to the Cor poration, also attended the meeting in his clerical robes; and Mr. J. Secker, the town clerk, was present in his official capacity. The various members of the Corporation, having attired themselves in their robes of office, left the hall in procession, and entered a string of carriages which were drawn up in readiness to convey them to the Castle. The cortege moved from the hall at half-past nine o'clock, preceded by the macebearer and other parochial officers, and, on arriving at the great quadrangle, drew up at the State entrance to the Castle. The Corporation having alighted, were conducted up the grand staircase to the Tuccarelli room, where they awaited the convenience of his Majesty to receive them. And here a word may be said as to the striking appearance of the deputation. The Mayor, a fine grey-haired gentleman, of command ing figure, was attired in a rich scarlet robe, trimmed with gold lace. The Aldermen also wore scarlet cloaks, and the members of the Council had on blue silk gowns trimmed with fur, together presenting a very superior specimen of municipal respectability. At half-past ten o'clock Viscount Sydney entered the room, and informed the deputation that his Majesty was in waiting to receive them. The procession then re-formed, and, preceded by four of the royal footmen in state liveries, left the Tuccarelli room for his Majesty's reception chamber, a magnificent apartment, forming the principal chamber of the suite set apart for the use of the King. On entering, his Majesty was discovered standing near the centre of the room with the Duke de Mont pensier immediately on the left, and a little behind his illustrious father. M. Guizot occupied a parallel posi tion opposite the Duke de Montpensier, and all the mem bers of his Majesty' s su ite were ranged in a half circle behind the King. His Majesty having bowed courteously to the deputation, The Melton said, may it please your Majesty to ac cept the humble address of the Mayor, Aldermen, asd burgesses of the borough of New Windsor ? His Majesty having bowed his assent, The Mayor handed the address (which was engrossed on vellum and illuminated with the borough arms and other embellishments) to the Town Clerk, who read it aloud as follows : " TO HIS MAJESTY LOUIS PHILIPPE, KING OF THE FRENCH. " The humble address of the Mayor, Aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of New Windsor, in the county of Berks, in council assembled. " May it please your Majesty, " We, her Britannic Majesty's dutiful and loyal sub jects, the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the ancient borough of New Windsor, most respectfully beg leave to tender your Majesty the expression of our sincere and hearty congratulations on the safe arrival of your Ma jesty on the shores of England, on your visit to our Gra cious Monarch at the long-favoured seat of the Sove reigns of this country. " The presence of your Majesty at the castle of Windsor must at any time have formed a subject of lively congratulation, as tending . more firmly to cement in the bonds of friendship the justly popular monarchs of two of the most powerful nations on the face of the globe. But we have now so recently witnessed the splendid and hospitable reception awarded to the Queen of England by your Majesty and all the members of your illustrious family, and the joyous enthusiasm which pervaded the entire French people on the occasion of her Majesty's visit at your Palace on the shores of Nor mandy, that we are especially delighted your Majesty should now be inclined to experience amongst us the renewal, of that cordial andaffectionate welcome, the echoes of those fervent greetings, - and the univers al ex- NEW MUSIC. AR-HYD-Y -NOS. A FantaS7a,withßrilliant Varia tions, for the Pianoforte. By J. COHAN, The beautiful Welsh air, ' which Mr. Cohan has chosen for the theme of this masterly composition, is well-known to all the admirers of Celtic melody. Whatever objection an exact criticism might offer to all attempts at varying, in fantasia, the purest effu sions of the Gaelic bards, it must be admitted that Mr. Cohan has taken but few liberties with this charming air, and has had the tact to preserve its tenderness and feeling throughout the whole of his spirited and sportive variations. The work is 'dedi cated to the Countess Palatiano. DEATH OF JOHN OVERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—When Mr. Charles Dickens wrote his able and eloquent preface to John Overs' " Evenings of a Work ing Man," his philanthropic desire was to enlist the sym pathies of the public in behalf df that talented mechanic, to enable him to provide " for a sick wife and very young family." Since that feeling appeal, poor Overs has gone to his last home, leaving an unblemished character and no small degree of fame as a self-taught genius. But, alas ! he has also left, to struggle with the difficulties and hardships of poverty, an amiable wife and six chil dren, the eldest not ten years of age, one an infant, and another labouring under great bodily affliction, and the poor widow herself in delicate health. It is but to make this distressing case known, and I feel assured the public will not withhold - their sympathy. When the death of Overs was announced to me I deep'y deplored the absence of Mr. Charles Dickens from England, and I still regret that he is not at hand to ad vocate the cause of this distressed family ; but although I cannot urge their claims so eloquently and forcibly as he would have done, yet I can and do as earnestly appeal to the benevolent, that they will contribute liberally to enable the widow to make some provision for her family. I have the permission of Messrs. Bouverie and Co., bankers, 11, Haymarket, to state, that they will kindly receive subscriptions ; and I shall also be happy to do the same at 72, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square. I am sure it is unnecessary for me to do more than beg the favour of your giving this a place in your columns ; for when a charitable action is to be advo • cated, the Press of England has ever generously lent its aid.—l have the honour to be Sir, your most obedient servant, T.

On Saturday the question of wood paving became again the subject of discussion at the Marylebone Vestry, and the vestry was very fully attended. Mr. W. Low having been called to the chair, A numerous deputation of the inhabitants of Ox ford-street waited on the vestry to present a memorial, praying that body, as it was understood to be their intention to take up and repair that portion of Oxford street between Tottenham-court-road and Charles street, to have it paved with wood. The memorial urged that the inhabitants of that portion of Oxford •street above specified had submitted to all the inconvenience and nuisance arising from the laying down of bitumen and other specimens of paving from time to time, and that now they were entitled to that consideration which had been afforded by the vestry to their neighbours in the same street, by having wood, instead of granite, placed before their doors. In answer to questions put by various members of the vestry, the deputation said, that they did not be lieve the wood paving to be a bit more dangerous for travelling than stone. In answer to Mr. Nicholay, Mr. PACKER said that he had paid great attention to wood paving in various parts of the metropolis, and bad never seen any wood paving in so disgraceful a state as it was in Oxford street from filth. Mr. JOHN WILLIAMS had no doubt that Oxford street was kept in this filthy state purposely to lend Sir Peter Laurie and the opponents of wood paying a handle against it. Mr. HARBUT denied that the vestry had anything to do with the dirty state of the wood paving. He concluded by moving that the deputation should have the minute of the vestry read to them, which declared that they would not entertain the question of wood paving for a period of three years from that date. After some observations from other gentlemen, the motion was put and carried by a large majority ; and on the deputation being recalled, The Vestry Clerk read the minute of the vestry of the 4th of March, 1843. The deputation then withdrew. Mr. SCAICE, the parish surveyor, brought up a re port which he had been directed to furnish by the vestry, as to the state of the 4,000 yards of wocd paving laid down by the Metropolitan Company be tween Wells-street and Rathbone-place. The report set forth that, pursuant to the orders of the vestry, the surveyor had minutely examined the state of the wood paving in question. The surface of the said paving was rather rough and uneven, and there were many short holes in it. The workmen of the Wood Company had, at his request, opened the paving across the street in three places in Oxford street. Opposite No. 51, the blocks which are of fir were worn from their general thickness of si x i nc h es to four and a quarter inches. The paving facing No. 50 is of elm, and was found worn generally from six inches to three inches ; and opposite 31, also of fir, it was found under the coach stand worn from six inches to three inches. This portion of the street, although in moderate condition on the surface, is so much worn that it was found difficult to raise a whole block. To put it into good condition, he considered the whole ought to be relaid, bottom upwards, about one-half or two-thirds of the old blocks being drawn out and new ones substituted. Mr. HARBUT moved that the report of the sur veyor be adopted by the vestry, and that it be for warded to the Metropolitan Company, together with lotice that the vestry, in accordance with the terms of . their contract, required them to put the 4.060 yards of wood paving between Wells-street and liathbone-place in a state of,ekcient repair, to the satisfaction of.the parish surveyor, forthwith. Mr. CLAPP seconded the resolution. After a few words from one or two other vestrymen, the resolution was then put, and carried by a large majority, and the vestry shortly after separated. THE CORPORATION OF LONDON AND WHOLESALE DEALERS. Some excitement has been occasioned by the order just issued to the City Solicitor relative to the whole sale dealers in the City. The Committee appointed by the Common• Council on the eve of St. Thomas's day in the last year, have at length produced their report, which has been confirmed by the Court. It is very voluminous, and contains many curious ex tracts from the City records, from the Saxon era to the present time. It is recommended in these sug gestions that the Corporation shall immediately com mence proceedings to compel all. wholesale dealers to take up their freedom, and, for the purpose of more effectually accomplishing this object, that the ancient Practices and proceedings of the wardmotes should be revived, and then due observance should by degrees be more rigidly enforced. Upon these suggestions the Committee have reported as follows : " The subject-matter is not only of the greatest im portance to this City, but also involves weighty con siderations—having on the one side deep-rooted pre judices, long practice, and continued neglect to over come; and on the other the necessity of extensive and effective correction of existing evils, and the securing the restoration of the ancient, just, and reasonable rights of the City. We have weighed and considered the conclusions which are printed, and the proceedings which are suggested, and though we are not at present prepared to give our final report on all the matters referred to us, or to recommend at once all the proceedings which may hereafter be requisite, yet there are some points upon which we are prepared to report our recom mendations to this Court, and to press their immediate adoption, as required by the existing evils, and the necessity of a speedy correction. "The pressure on the retail dealers, and the immu nity of others, who dwell within this city, and par take of all its advantages, have weighed much with your Committee, and we have unanimously resolved that the acts of Common Council imposing penalties on persons residing in the City, and not enrolled, Ong arts, trades, occupations, and mysteries 'within this City, should be recommended for immediate en forcement. "We have been the mote inclined to recdunnend to this Court the adoption of proceedings for the penalties under the Acts of Common Council, as we have the satisfaction of knowing that the- Court of Aldermen have likewise had laid before them, by the Remembrancer, extracts and docu ments relative to the wholesale dealers, -co- , Ries of which have been communicated to us by the Court of Aldermen ; and from which we find that the same view we have taken of the liability of the whole sale dealers, who are not freemen, to proceedings for penalties under the laws and customs of the corpora tion, is.adopted by the Remembrancer." It is stated in the corporation circles that there are f some thousands of opulent merchants and wholesale dealers carrying on business in the City without being free. The publicity which the report has ot treceived b ethe intention of h has caused a very extraordinary sensati on amongst this class of persons, rpsoncos,bourtaittioin to s understood n commence an indis criminate crusade agai ns t the whole body, but to select from each ward one or more offenders, with whom the question will be tried. It is stated that all the great wholesale dealers are determined to resist what they consider to be an usurped p ower , an d nex t term is spoken of as likely to bear the decision.

CONCLUSION OF THE INQUEST The inquest was "resumed on Friday, when after the examination of several witnesses, Mr. Hutehbury, at twenty minutes past four o'clock, the fureman of the jury, said they had heard sufficient evidence to enable them to make up their minds as to their verdict. The CORONER remarked that it was for the jury to call for more evidence if they wished it. The jury replied that they had heard sufficient. The CORONER then ordered the room to be cleared, which was immediately done. After deliberating about a quarter of an hour, the jury found the following ••N TT • --- • - 11f ' • r. ) :LLIG --- Bowers;lfiv,na . . . "t % • VERDICT : "That the said Thomas Dryden, George Dryden, Hobert Dryden, and James Dryden, and Edward Ni cholson, together with ninety persons, being employed in working in the Haswell Colliery, were therein and then accidentally burnt, scorched, and killed, by an ex plosion of fire-damp, and we further say that no blame is attributable to any one connected with the pit. and we also further say that the said Thomas Dryden, George Dryden, Robert Dryden, and James Dryden, and Edward Nicholson, came to their death by accident, and so say we all" The verdict was then recorded by the Coroner, after which the jury were immediately discharged. Thus terminated the long and painful inquiry con nected with this melancholy occurrence—an occurrence, which, considering the awful amount of life that has been sacrificed, has seldom been equalled. A subscription has been set on foot for the benefit of the relatives of the sufferers, which already approaches to near 2,0001. The owners of the Haswell Colliery have contributed the munificent sum of 7451. ORLEANS AND BORDEAUX RAILWAY. The main features of this undertaking are as fbllows : The present proposal of the Company embraces the whole distance from Orleans to Bordeaux, 295 miles, passing by the populous cities and towns of Blois, Amboise, Tours, Chatelleroult, Poictiers, Angouleme, and Labourne, to Bordeaux. The works to be executed, at the cost of the State, on the portion between Orleans and Tours, are already so far advanced, that in the hands of this Company, that important extension of the Paris and Orleans Railway could be opened to the public in the snmmer of 1845, with an expenditure of not more than 51. per share on the whole capital. The Company is re-constituted for this purpose. The statutes Of the Paris and Rouen and the Rouen and Havre Companies have been adopted, so far as they are applicable to this Company. The Minister of Public Works, in the name of the. State, engages to pay for the land, and compensation to landowners • to execute the earthwork, masonry, stations, workshops, police stations, and buildings of every description ;—in short, to make the line, and its dependencies, up to formation level, be the cost what it may ; to maintain the earthwork for one year, the masonry for two years, and-the buildings for five years, after delivery to the Company. The Company have only to provide, lay, and ballast the permanent way, fence off the railway, supply the locomotive and carrying stock, work the line, and maintain it during the term of their lease. To these alone their liability extends. The State is to participate equally in the nett profits of the Company, after 10 per cent. to the shareholders upon the capital expended, namely, 9 per cent. divi dend, and 1 per cent. sinking fund. The right of the State so to participate in the nett profits does not arise until after the first five years of the opening of the line throughout to Bordeaux. This will give to the Company about twelve years of undivided enjoyment of the nett profits of the sec tion between Orleans and Tours. The Company are required to surrender the per manent way and its dependencies, at the expiration of the term, without compensation, but are to be pail! the actual value of their carrying stock, materials, and stores, either by the Government or the new lessees, within three months after the term of theit leas - e shall have expired.—Railway Chronicle.
