CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE 8, NEW CO YEN T R - B ,S S T U R R E A E N T C , E T, E C I O C S P 4, N I T. S . The FOLTRT LI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took plate on th e 25 t h instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. Th e f o ll ow i ng is extracted from the rep rt, which is too lengthy for publi ca ti on : QUARE, LONDON. During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland —one for 5001. and the other tor :Mi.—waking together 700/., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve mouths preceding. Prop osaia were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. Gs. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,048 i., upon which 32d1. h. was received by the Company In the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Companv to the Ist of June last, assuran es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,732/. I Is. 6d. tit these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9301. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 151. lid . Since last meeting loans were applicil for to the extent of 17,700/., but 1,1831. Its. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months 'hey had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de PEtang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and In all assurance matters, who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Patis, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Evequo de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab:e amount of business, not only In Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairmen, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish .ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at Its present results and future prospects. NIANY have assumed the use of the word rALETOT, but the PATENTEES of the design and :naterial used in this inexpensive and gentlemanly article of dress ire, Messrs.

Another ground of apparent increase was to be accounted for by the charges for repairs of rolling stock, which the directors were determined to keep up in the highest state of efficiency. There was also a large item for law expenses, which was taken at an estimate of 1,0001. Of this sum only 2501. bad been incurred daring the last half-year, the remaining 7501. being ar rears of former half-years, including the charges con nected with same expensive appeal cases on rates. The arbitration with Mr. erawshsy was still in suspense. With regard to the suit against Mr. Hudson. it was making progress in Chancery, and the question had been put why the directors should not accept a certain sum down, or refer the case to arbitration. He had no hesi tation in saying that as long as they considered the di rectors able to manage their affairs, they ought to allow this matter to remain in their bands. This was a demand for restitution, and not a case for arbitration. He had formed a strong opinion of whet ought to be required from Mr. Hudson, and would not consent to take less. With respect to the claims against two other of the late directors (Mr. Davies and Mr. Richardson) tha directors had made a conditional arrangement, receiving from them half the premiums which the shares were worth on the day that they were appropriated to them. An item on land purchases of 3,443/. 18s. 61 bad been paid for interest, on the completion of conveyances, which sum in most companies was placed to capital account, but they thought it better to carry it at once to revenue. With reference to the Electric Telegraph Company, ne gotiations were going on; and he trusted that arrange ments would be effected, giving to this company a fair remuneration for the capital whieh they had laid out in telegraph works. The arrangement with the Air and Calder Company was a bringing together of parties who had looked on each other as natural enemies. He hoped that this arrangement, whilst •it secured a fair rate of toll, would not prevent that healthy competition which was essential for the protection of the public. With re ference to the affairs of the company generally, al though they were not met under prosperous circutn stanoes, they had much better prospects than existed six months since, and he hoped that the various changes and reforms which were being effected would tend to in creased receipts and decreased expenditure. He then moved the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. Mr. RAMSEY then moved that counsel's opinion be taken with a view to legal proceedings against Mr. Hud son and the late directors, and such officials as had been instrumental in falsifying the accounts of the company; but the motion was negatived nearly unanimously. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of a resolution declaring a dividend of ss. per cent. without deduction for income-tax; which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN observed that last week their receipts were 10,618/, being the highest amount (with one ex ception) that the company had ever received. The CHAIRMAN proposed a resolution, agreeing to accept 1,2501. from Mr. James Richardson, and 1,0001. from Mr. Davies, in respect of shares received by them as directors and subscribers to the Whitby Building Company, such arrangement not in any way to prejudice the claims of the company against them in respect of any other liabilities as directors of this com pany, either solely or in conjunction with other directors. The resolution was carried. Mr. RAMSEY enumerated some defalcations which bad occurred from time to time, and asked if bonds bad been taken from the clerks? The CHAIRMAN—They had in all new appointments, and in the case of old servants such was being dune. Mr. BULL moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, and in doing so, stated that be bad, the last two cis' s, gone over the main parts of the line and found everything in a most satisfactory state. The vote was seconded, and carried unanimously. Mr. STEVENS again wished to speak, but was pre. vented by The CHAIRMAN, who said he should feel it his duty to conduct the proceedings ins regular way as long as he was in the chair. Mr. Stevens having spoken before, be could not again hear him. Mr. BAYLY iigaia remarked on what he had to say at the next meeting; and the question was then put by the chairman and immediately carried. The meeting then separated. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK. The report of the directors, to be submit:ed to the proprietors on Tuesday next. states that the receipts for the half year ending the 30th of June Amounted to 351,886/., and for the corresponding period in 1849 to 323,964/. Ntarly the whole of this increase has been produced during the last quarter. The working ex penses for the halflear ending the 30th of June amounted to 133,0631., and for the corresponding period in 1849 to 132,1'39/. The charges against revenue other than working expenses amounted in the former period to 151,6101., and in the latter period to 118,912/. The amount of debenture capital has been increased since the 30th of June, 1849, to the extent of 215,0004 entailing a cerreevonding additional burden for interest. In the former belt-year there wris a large sum for interest charged to capital account for unproductive works, and during the present half•year there is no such charge in the accounts. The directors propose to carry to capital the sum of 35,402/, the balance appearing on the Great North of England purchase account; but a, sum of upwards of 10,000/. arising from unpaid dividends on and calls re ceived in respect of shares which will have to be for feited, will then be carried to the credit of that account in reduction of that sum. , Since the. last half-yearly meeting the,directors have received a further sum of 10,0001., making'so,oool. of the amount agreed to be paid by Mr. linslson• in aettlemiint of the claims Of the company upon him; but the suns due from him in re spect of the Sunderland Dock has not yet been paid, al though the directors bad expected when they made the arrangement with him that the whole amount would have been received before this time, and have used their utmost exertions to obtain payment, but without effect. The directors, however, hold securities for the amount. The net divisible balance out of the proper earnings of the half-year amounts to 62,212 L, which, added to the net ba lance, 1,500/, from the last account, increases the amount to 63,713/, out of which the directors propose to pay a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum,. leaving a balance of 2,289/. to be carried to the next account. The purchase debentures to be delivered to the Great North of England Railway share holders are in active preparation, and the purchase will be completed in October next. On the Ist of July, 1853, 796,5711. will be payable; on the Ist of January, 1855, 1,062,0951. will be payable; and 796,5714 on the Ist of July, 1856, unless otherwise agreed upon by those en titled to them. The Sunderland Dock was opened on the 20th of June, and must lead to an important increrve of coal traffic on the Durham and Sunderland branch railway of this company. The directors have taken steps to close the capital recount. The amount expended on capital account to the 30th June amounts to 6,667,5071.; due to the corporation of Newcastle, 15,000/.; estimate of works to complete the railway, 131,6221.; Great North of England purchase, 3,732,9021. ; total, 10,547,0311. The capital account will be closed by a bum of 10,550,0001. In Penny Weekly Numbers, and Sixpenny Monthly Parts. Now Heady, Part 1., price 6d., in Wrapper, THE LATE Slit R. PEEL'S SPEECHES.

VT, BedlOrd:eclarS Londos, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of the above company was held in the Exchange Rooms, Manchester, at noon yes terday; the Earl of Yarborough in the chair. The CHAIRMAN very briefly addressed the proprietors, alluding specially to the canals, which he said were still losing concerns, though he believed they were not the sources of so much loss to the company as they would have been had they been in the hands of -competing companies.—(Hear.) During the present half year the losses upon the canals appeared much greater than they had done on previous halt years, which was partly owing to a severe frost, which lastel upwaris of a month. The company had a considerable quantity of goods to deliver on the line of the canals, and during the continuance of the frost they had to incur a great expenditure for cartage to places where the canal could not be navi gated, and where the rail Way did not reach. He be lieved that the accounts of the present half-year were the worst that would ever have to be laid before the ,shareholders.—(Cries of - " Hear, hear.") Their ex penses had hitherto been necessarily very heavy, but now that the line was so far completed, a considerable diminution of expenditure would take place; in fact, a system of reduction had been commenced by the manager, the effect of which would be favourably per ceptible at the next half-yearly meeting. At a subse quent period of the meeting the chairman stated that this reduction was as follows:-24 clerks, 231. 84. 7d. weekly; 62 guards, porters, &c., whose services had been dispensed with , 601. per week; and boat hire, 61. 103. With reference to the canals, it was considered desirable that the directors should impress upon Mr. Ricardo, M.P., the propriety of having carried out the policy which he hid some time ago stated be should recom mend. It was considered by some parties that the works at Great Grimsby should be suspended for a period, and upon that point the opinion of Mr. Stephenson, an inde pendent engineer, had been taken, and ho had expressed a decided conviction that it was for the interest of this company that the works should be carried on.—(Hear, hear.) The Humber Ferries business had been placed in the hands of Mr. Carter, solicitor, of Birmingham, who wrote to the different individuals connected with the Humber Ferries purchase, and they had decided not to refund any of the money which they had received, unless so far as there had been a miscalculation of interest in the secretary's office.—(llea r , hear, and Shame.)] The report having been taken as read, The CHAIRMAN proposed that that, together with the accounts, should be adopted. Mr. TURNER, of Liverpool, seconded the motion. Mr. MORTON said he understood that at the last meet ing it was decided that every individual who had been connected with that "job," should to dismissed from the company's service. So far from that having been' done, one of them, the engi neer , had actually been pro moted.—(Hcar, hear.) He was glad to have heard the chairman deny that the accounts were •• cooked," for rumours were abroad that some of the traffic receipts, as t h e y appeared in the report, were artificial. Mr. Mor ton complained of the mode in which the South Junction line was worked by this company, as it only yielded this year a dividend of about three-quarters per cent.; and also of the position in which this company stood with respect to the Great Northern Company. No two railways could be found which ought to be more cloiely and naturally allied, whereas they were at com plete enmity, this company doing its utmost to obstruct r affi the traffic on the Great N or t hern l i ne b y a var i ety of expedients which railway mana gers on ly cou ld h ave re courserelations,th e y i a h n l d Iny ak ing t o every, ins instead interchangeo t' cultiva t ing of t f ri endly which could. He also complained of the heavy working ex penses of the line, which amounted to no less than 65 per cent. of the traffic receipts; while on the Eastern Counties they were only 48 per cent.; on the Lan cashire and Yorkshire, 46 per cent.; on the London and Brighton, 43; and on the London and North- Western, 38 per cent. Under all the circumstances, be could not vote for the reception of the directors' report. Mr. CHARLES GEACH, of Birmingham, defended the directors. From elaborate calculations which he had made, founded upon sound data, be was convinced that in 1854 the receipts would be at least 10,0001 per week, which would yield a dividend of three per cent. upon the original shares, and every additional 1,0001. per week would yield an additional one per cent. up to six per cent., which he had no doubt they would ultimately arrive at.—(Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN stated the directors had made various overtures to the directors of the Great Northern Com pany, but on all points they had met with great difficul ties on the part of that company. He hoped, however, that some satisfactory arrangements might shortly be decided upon. With respect to the Humber Ferries transaction, and the position of their engineer, he did not think that Mr. Fowler had done anything improper; he had been a most useful man to the company, and filled the office with advantage to the shareholders. After a tedious and uninteresting discussion, the mo tion was put Irons the chair, and only four hands were held up against it.

SOUTH DEVON. Pi:mourn, Atm. 27.—The ordinary half yearly mf eiing of this company was held at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, this afternoon ; Mr. Thomas Woolcombe, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. Amongst the directors present were Sir A. Buller, David Derry, J. W. Buller (chairman of the Bristol and Exeter), Ralph Cole, Mr. Morgan, F. P. Barlow, and Hr. Beal, Mr. W. Cain, secretary, and Mr. C. C. Whit ford. There was also a full attendance of shareholders. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the notice for con vening the meeting was read by the secretary, and the seal was . attached to the register of shareholders. The report, which bad been previously circulated amongst the shareholders, was then taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, after some lengthened observations upon the state and prospects of the undertaking, moved that the report be received and adopted. Mr. W. PRANCE having seconded the motion, Mr. C. STEVENS then rose, and said he had a resolu tion to the effect, that an extraordinary general meeting should be called on Wednesday five weeks, for the pur pose of considering and determining whether any and what measures should be adopted for the reduction of the expenditure, impro►ing the working establishment, and maintaining the credit of the company, and for gene ral purposes. He then proceeded to state that, as re garded the forfeiture of shares. the shareholders of the company ought not to forfeit people's property without due cinsideration. They could not tell what circum stances of monetary pressure prevented them from pay ing, and he therefore begged them not to forfeit their shares without it was by request. He then referred to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, which was indebted to the South Devon Railway Company in the sum of 10,00014 sad in the month of April, 1847, notwith standing the shareholders of the South Devon paid 40 per cent., the Bristol and Gloucester Railway bad not paid ono farthing. He contended, with regard to the contract for locomotive engines, that the shareholders had a right, every one, of reading and perusing the con ditions and provisions of that contract. He believed the whole of their 6 per cent. bonds to be illegal, and com plained of the sum of 6,4004 having been spent in law charges. He submitted his amendment for the purpose of calling an extraordinary meeting, so that these things should be inquired into. Mr. Mourn seconded the motion. Mr: W. Fox expressed regret that another meeting should be called, and a committee appointed to inquire into the affairs of the company, as it would be the means of bringing discredit upon the company, and perhaps do them a deal of mischief. With regard to the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, they had paid part of the money, but its being withheld from them proved a benefit to the company, for they had paid live and six per cent. interest, whereas it tho money had been in the bank they would have bad but two or three per cent. He complained that the traffic in goods was not more; but he could tell them, without mentioning names, that parties were i❑ London who contracted with miters at Exeter for goods to be sent there, and instead of the goods being sent on the South Devon line, they were conveyed by van here. If a steamer was on the point of sailing from London to Plymouth, goods were shipped on board her, and the railway was thus cheated. lie trusted that the company would come to an arrangement with the opposing shareholders, otherwise they would never be able to get on well. Mr. D. DERRY, one of the directors, explained that, with regard to the forfeited shares, the greater number of the owners had requested them to be forfeited, and as far the others, they were dead. lie defended the can dnct of the directors, and stated that they were trying to renew the debenture bonds again; and with regard to the law expenses, he thought those gentlemen who corn plained of them were doing that which would involve them in greater costs. Mr. T. STEVENS was of opinion that an arrangement ought to be effected previous to another session of Par liament arriving. Mr. S. DERRY thought it would be unwise to enter into a contract for a long period, inasmuch as some power might spring up in the course of ten years which would be less expensive. The CHAIRYAN said they should have a contract with the power of relinquishing it to a certain extent, but parties lending money knew full well the value of it, and, therefore, they could not expect to have it all their own way. Mr. BAYLY asked a question relative to the branch to Sutton Pool, on which _ The CYAIRMAN replied that they could not go into detail on that matter. The shareholders might rest sa tisfied that the directors had provided such a sum as would be considered amply sufficient to discharge the engagements they had made. Mr. BAIL; after stating that he held very little in terest in the company, spoke in favour of the amend ment, and concluded by saying that he should propose to lay before the next meeting of the company a state ment of operations, including idle, profligate, and waste ful expenditure, which he believed would surprise aed astonish the shareholders of the company. The CHAIRMAN then asked if there was any other gentleman who wished to speak on the motion, and as there were none, the questions were put, when there appeared— For the amendment ••• ••• ••• • • 2 Against it ... ... 41 In favour of the original resolution ... 32 Against it ••• ••• ••• ••• ••• 2 _ The original motion was then declared carried. Mr. STEVENS essayed to speak, but The CHAIRMAN would not allow him to be heard. Mr. STEVENS persisted in claiming to be heard, on the grounds that they were partners in a mercantile company. He was not, however, allowed to speak. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the forfeiture of the shares, which was seconded by Dr. DERRY, who said he wished his were being put to the vote as well. Mr. STEVENS again spoke about having an extraordi nary general meeting, observing that if the directors refused to call one, they would themselves, as he had a sufficient number of shareholders' names on the re quisition. Mr. W. MoonE knew that the directors had the per fect control of the company, and it was a mere matter of form for the shareholders to come there. The CHAIRMAN, after the last remarks, said the di rectors had the interest of the company in view as much as the shareholders themselves. They had no interest in laying out the money in l aw charges; but if th e y were to lay down in the d irt they would neith er have law nor justice. The directors were as deeply alive to the misery and mischief which would ho in volved by any litigious proceeding as any shareholder could be. NURFOLIi. It appears from the statement of receipts and expendi ture on capital account for the half year ending 30th of June, that 53,0751. had been received, including 10.000/. temporary loan, and 37,5001. on account of rolling stock or stores transferred to the Eastern Counties Company, and 50,1471. expended, including 49 0001. mortgage bonds paid off, leaving a balance of 2,9271.

The length of railway open is :i9 miles, from Leeds to This-5k LIVERPOOL. M A NCIIESTER, AND NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE J UNCTION. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was intended to have been held on Tuesday at York. At the appointed hour the chairman, Mr. George Leeman, and ➢Messrs. Courtenay, Gray, and Audus, directors, took their seats, but only about a dozen share holders attended, and the number present were insuffi cient to constitute a legal meeting. The CHAIRMAN entered into a full explanation of the Railway Abandonment Act, and it probable effect if put into execution, when the whole of the shareholders pre sent cordially agreed with him in the opinion that it was not desirable, for the present at all events, that the company should place itself within its operation, coupled as it is with the notorious and much condemned Wind ing-up Act. ' l nc . directors expressed their intention of forthwith paying to the shareholders 23. 4d. per share, being a year and a halt's interest at the rate of a fraction lest, than 4 per cent. per annum on tho paid-up capital, pur suant to the powers of their Act. This announcement was received with much satisfaction, and alter a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The 25th halt-yearly meeting of this company was held on Tuesday in Glasgow ; Mr. P. Blackburn, of chairman of the directors, In the chair. The report was then read. The CHAIRMAN stated that the report end accompany ing sheets explained as fully as the directors were able to do it the financial position of the company. The board regretted most sincerely that they had to present that most objectionable feature—a reduced dividend. The board was equally interested in this matter with the shareholders, and nothing could give them greater plea sure than to see an extended traffic-table and a large di vidend, but so long as the expenses had not increased the board could not take any blame to themselves on ac count of the diminished returns from traffic, for over this tkey had no control. As to thecompetition with the Cale donian, which commenced in the beginning of the year and lasted two months, he was glad to say that an ar rangement had been entered into. The Caledonian direc tors had met the board in the fairest, spirit, and though iszalous to make the best terms possible, matters bad been so settled that they would do nothing injurious to the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company which did not be nefit themselves. There was one point to which he would allude, in the hope that every shareholder would exert himself to provide a remedy. He alluded_ to the extreme pressure of the rates and taxes charged upon all railway companies . Inthisre G sp e e v c e t r h um ec e o u, n t te e e e d d e d quite they were unfairly treated by themselves. w O h r ie t hueseecareautuestetdhiste 15 percompany cent of their net dividends. This was a vast item, and if Government treated them fairly it would take off the passenger duty, and pass a measure defining the mode in which railway _companies were to be rated for poor, police, and other local rates. In the mean time every parish thought it right to grasp as much from railway companies as possible. Including the income-tax, thi s company paid away no less than 18 per cent. of its revenue. He might mention that sinoe the last half-yearly meeting they had paid eff debentures to the amount of 80 0001. To make up for this the board had borrowed 25,000/. upon other terms; but as compared with last half-year there was now 55,000/. less debt owing out of the company than there had been. The Edinburgh and Glasgow had now all its liabilities before Tit with the exception o f t h e Wi lsontown and Bathgate. he Stirlingshire junction would be opened in the course of a few days, and after this the preference would be payable out of revenue. This would amount to 8,000/. a year; but he hoped the increased traffic would make it up. They were aware that a dispute exists(' with the Stirling and Dunfermline line. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Company declined to take it, for the reason that it was not the line for which they originally bar gained, and had now no access to the town of Stirling. lie had no doubt the justice of their ease would be main tained in a court of law. Mr. T. HILL then addressed the compiny at great length on the claims of the Edinburgh and Bsthgate to an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow at 4 per cent., instead of 2i per cent, as now offered. Mr. G. W. MUIR asked if any progress hid been made towards the amalgamation with the Caledonian. The CHAIR3IAN replied that some meetings had been held, but no real progress bad been made. Tne Cale donian board, since it was formed, had been so much taken up with its own difficulties that this subject had been left over i❑ the mean time. He retained his opi nion as to the desirableness of the amalgamation. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the usual resolutions, including the payMent of a dividend of 2i per cent. on the 16:h of September, which were agreed to. SUNDAY TRAINS. Mr. Cox, of Edinburgh, then moved that a morning and evening train be run along the lime on S unda)s, which IVAN seconded by gr. PATON. Mr. M'FLE, of Wailhouse, moved, as an amendment, that neither goods nor passenger trains be ran on the Lord'a-day, which was seconded by Mr. BLACADDEIL After a very lengthened discussion, in which several clergymen took part, a show of lands was taken, when CREMORNE GARDENS, On the Banks of the Thames at Chelsea.

In the above locality, supposed by many to be en tirely occupied by persons of wealth and respectability, it was aecer aineo, through the London City Mission, that there wore no less than 1,000 children needing in etruction, and that the greater portion of 570, under 14 years of age, attended no school whatever; and in one street, called Brand-street, containing only 68 houees, 19 of those houses had each produced a convict. This state of things isdueed the district clergy, aided by several benevolent individuals, to establish a ragged school in Brand -street, which has continued succe.esfutly, until it was at length found necessary to obtain increased accommodation, and accordingly a piece of freehold ground was recently purchased in the Hornsey-road, to form a site for new school-rooms, with residence for the master and mistress. A plan for the same was gratuitously supplied by James Harrison, Esq.. archi. test, with the further kind offer of superintending the erection cf the building, also gratuitously, and which WA G accepted. Yesterday was fxed for the important encnezEmsogn„ythoef laying the foundation sto ne b y Henry pw President end Chairman of the Middlesex Magistrates, for which the usual preparation of erecting a marques with seats beneath, were made, and above floated a va riety of flsge, &c. Prior to ;he ceremony, the numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen who had attended to witness the same were gratified by an inspection of the ornamental trowel, mallet, and levels, and also a coloured draw ing of the intended structure, which will be in the Tudor style, the material red brick, with Caen stone dressings, the whole having an exceedingly neat, though elegant appearance. The dimensions are, depth 50 feet, breadth 28 feet, and extreme height 48 feet. The in terior is ornamented by what is called an antique open timber roof. It will be capable of accommodating about 600 children of both sexes. Shortly before one o'clock the following gentlemen arrived on the ground, viz. : —H. Pownall, Esq., Mr Sheriff Nicoll, Mr. Deputy Lott, the Rev. D. Wilson, vicar of Islington; the Rev. J. Kingsmill, chaplain of the Model Prison ; as also the Revs. D. B. Parnther, D. Magill, J. Branch, and M. W. Lusig nan; R. M. Phillips, Esq., treasurer; S. J. Aldrich, Esq., honorary secretary; James Hertison,E4, honorary architect; Mr. W. Trego, builder, &c., and took their places around the stone, which bore the following inscription:— " This stone was laid by Henry Pownall, Eq., the President, 28th August, 1850. Richard Marshall Phil lips. Esq., treasurer; Stephen J. Aldrieh, Esq., honorary secretary; James Harrison, Esq., honorary architect; William Trego, builder." The Rev. 15. WILSON having invoked a blessing on the undertaking, the stone was raised, the trowel handed to Mr. Pownall, who spread the mortar, and the lowering to its final destination, levelling, &c., succeeded, when it (the stone) was declared to be duly fixed. Mr. PowziALL then addressed the assembly, saying that he had to congratulate every ono present at the happy work in which they had been that day engaged. for whether those present were contrib u t o r s t o th e f un d • or erecting the building, or parents of the children about to receive the blessings of that truly Christian institution, all must feel an interest in the Christian re sults likely to flow therefrom, and in the consequent promotion of the happiness and welfare of a great portion of the community, and this feeling would, he trusted, find a lodgment in the breasts of the more lofty and wealthy. Those who had for years past taken an active part in forwarding the education of the poor must feel truly thankful to the Almighty for the successful issue of their labours; for, considering the immense increase of our population, the number of cri minals was comparatively few, and was daily decreasing, and would continuo to decrease the more they called to their aid such schools, together with the assistance of ministers of the goApsl. After showing that children who having grown up in ignorance, and become parents, were incapable of imparting knowledge to their chil dren, and were thus tending to perpetuate ignorance, vice, and misery, he proceeded to say that now educat ing these children might probably reclaim by instruct ing the parents, and all, doubtless, were now imbued with a desire to educate those who could not educate themselves. Children must bo taught the duties of religion, to honour aid obey their parents, if parents xpect(d from their children that solace, affection, and rei.ptct in their declining years, which proper education alone could produce. They might feel assured that those who were not so instructed, who were ignorant of their ditties as Christians to God and their fellow man, would neither make good husbands, good wives,• or dutiful children.—(Bear, hear.) He trusted that the constant attendance of the children, and their good con duct therein, would crown the efforts which had been made, aid show the success of these schools; and he hoped that, for many y ears to come, the seeds which they had sown, and the plants they had planted, would promote virtue and love to all, and produce in that neighbourhood a happy, industrious, contented, and Christian population. In conclusion, he hoped God would bless all who hail contributed to the funds and assisted in promoting the cause; and should any of the children cducwed therein be destined to go to foreign lands, he hoped they would carry with them all the good religious principles which they had received—that they would ever remember they were taught religion and virtue in the Holloway nagged Schools.—(hear, hear.) The worthy magistrate concluded a long and eloquent speech, of which the kb,re is but a brief outline, amidst loud cheering. Mr. Sheriff AncoLL, in a most effective address, se• corded by tt:e Bev. D. Mecitu.., proposed thanks to Mr Pownull, which was carried unanimously, and duly ac knowledged. A similar compliment, on the motion of Mr. Deputy LOTT, atomic', d by the Hey. J. BRANCH, in a brilliant and affective addresQ, was accorded to E. M. Phillips, E•q , the treasurer, to which the latter briefly replied. Atter thanks to Mr. Sheriff Nicoll, who had come ex pressly from Southampton to honour the proceedings with his presence, which the worthy Sheriff duly re sponded to, Mr. Deputy LOTT highly eulogised the exertions of Mr. S. J. Aldrich. hon. see., through which this institu tion had been chiefly brought to its present position, pro posed thanks to that gentleman, the committee, &c., which was seconded by the Rev. Mr. LUBIGNAN, and unanimously adopted. Other complimentary resolutions were also carried, the interesting proceedings terminating with a Epithetic and appropriate firewell address by H. Pownall, Esq., when the company departed. ANOTHER. BLOODY AFFRAY IN PHILADELPHIA.- This morning, about three o'clock, a bloody affray occurred at the house of au Irishmao, a painter, earned Henry Doug. herty, in Calitornia-place, near the corner of the Juniper and Lombard-streets. It seems that there had been an Irish jollification at the house—a sort of celebration of the siege of Derry—when a tight took place between two boarders there, George Dougherty, a brother of the keeper of the place, and Joseph smith. Smith stabbed George in the head. At the time Horny Dougherty was asleep. William WEuen, a guest, exclaiming that Smith had cut George Dougherty, Henry Dougherty was aroused, and he and Smith appear to have instantly got into collision. Smith began a murderous and brutal assault upon Henry, wounded him in the left shoulder, and nearly biting off his ear. Smith also stabbed tel'Euen in the hand. The two Doughertys and Smith fell into the hands of the south-west watch. The wounded pri soners were attended at the station-house by Dr. Chaloner. This surgeon considered Henry Dougherty's wounds so se rious as to put his arm, if not his life, in peril. Smith was covered with blond from head to foot. This morning Smith was brought before the mayor ar.d committed. No motive is assigned for the outrageous behaviour of the man. He must have been crazy with whisky. The whole party were friends, and had known each other, in the old country and America, for years.—Ph iladelphia Buletin, Aug. 13. PHENOMENA or THE OCEAN.—During the voyage of the barque Harvest, Captain Lackey, of New Bedford, recently returned from a wb aling voyage, the fact was veri fied that the tides about the Polynesian Islands do not follow the Newtonian law of variation. At the request of Captain Lackey, affidavits were obtained from two intelligent indi viduals, who have for twenty years resided among the So ciety blends, to the following statement:—" That the time of !lig!' water takes place between the hours of eleven and one o'clock, without any variation, unless caused by winds. The different phases of the moon have no effect whatever in changing the time of high water. At the full and change the tides are from six. to eight inches higher; the full rise being about two feet." Another interesting result of the voyage was the obtaining of deep-sea soundings in the vici nity of the Bermuda Islands. We quote from the narrative, as published in the New Bedford Mercury :—" Here, in lat. 27 10 N., long. 1;2 45 W., on the 20th of April, 1850, the nearest land being Bermudas, bearing N.W. by N., and dis tant 345 miles, water blue with much gulf-weed, weather calm, no current, the boat was lowered; let run the lead, and found bottom in 744 fathoms. April 15, lat. 27 31 N., long. 60 3 W., Bermuda bearing N.W. by N., 300 miles, sounded and got bottom in 466 fathoms. April 29, let. 29 23 N., long. 64 11 W., Bermudas N.W. by N., 160 miles, sounded and got bottom in 620 fathoms. The time occu pied in running out the line varied from 20 to 30 minutes. The line was constructed thus : First 100 fathoms five parts of shoe-thread; second, four parts; third, three parts; fourth, two parts; remainder single. The lead weighed about 51bs. ; the whole wound upon a light reel, and held by hand. In'this process of obtaining soundings the lead is not to be hauled up." SHOCKING DEATH FROM MACHINERT.—An inves tigation took place Yesterday before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, at Guy's Ifospital, on the body of William King, aged 17, who died of h,ck-jaw under the following melan choly circumstances:—The deceased was in the employ of Messrs. Miller, the extensive horse hair and flock manufac turers, in Lant-street, Borough. On Thursday week he was engaged in rolling some horse-hair, but having put too much into the machine, seine portion of it got over the cog whey!, which the deceased went to get back, when three of his tin ,, ers were pulled in between the cogs of the wheel. 1-lavinp called out loudly, the engine was stopped, and the three fingers were apparently hanging to the hand by a bit of skin. He was attended by a surgeon until lest Saturday, when it was thought desirable to remove him to the hospital. hh Oa Sunday, however, tetanus , or lock ei gw, set in, of whic he died the same night. Since the sad occurrence Messrs. Miller have had the cog-wheel covered over, to prevent future accidents.
