The Master and Felicia s of Trinity College, Cambridge, have appointed the Rev. J. W. Blakesley, M.A., Fellow and Tutor of that Society, to the vicarage of Ware. The new incumbent is opposed to the innovating spirit which has kept this parish in a ferment during the, lasi two years. Several of the master sawyers of Glasgow and neighbour hood have agreed to the increase of wages asked by their workmen, and a number of the men have again resumed their wonted employment. A rehearsal of the fifth concert of ancient music took place yesterday morning, preparatory to the performance to mcrrow, which will be under the direction of the Duke of Wellington, who has made a very fine selection of sterling com positions. The principal singers were Madame Caradori, Mdlle. Vera, and Mdlle. Brambilla, Staudigl, Hawkins, Machin, and Herr Pisckek: the latter made a very great im pression at the rehearsal, in two solos, and in a duet from Fidelio, with Staudigl. The - only director present was the Earl of Cawdor, but there was a very numerous assemblage of the subscribers. NATIONAL TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—The friends of temperance, constituting the " National Society," held their snot. versary meeting at Exeter-hall last evening. The body of the room, as well as the platform, was well filled, the members of the Society of Friends forming a considerable proportion of the audi tory. The chair was taken shortly after six o'clock by Mr. S. Bowley, during the unavoidable absence of Mr. J. J. Gurney, who arrived and occupied that post at a later period of the meeting. The Secretary, Mr. Compton, read a number of letters from various well-known advocates of temperance who were unable to attend, and then submitted the third annual report of the Society, in which was introduced a letter from Father Mathew, addressed to the Secretary, and reporting the progress of the cause in Ireland. In reference to the exertions recently made to extricate him from his embarrassment, he wrote, " Whilst I feel myself overwhelmed with the weight of your bounty, I am perfectly convinced that it is not on me, but in the sacred cause of temperance, that this muni. Scent donation has been bestowed. Circumstances to which it is unnecessary to allude, have rendered the subscriptions in Ireland comparatively small, and for the sum of 8,3001. I am principally indebted to the high-minded generous people of England... Father Mathew concluded his letter by the following allusion to his affairs :—" Having some time since, by the sacrifice of per_ coral and family property, by insurances and other securities, raised money to pay the medal manufacturers (my only creditors), the above sum will enable me to extricate myself from all my eme barrassments, and place myself in the same position in which I stood before I entered on the temperance mission." The report presented a variety of statistics showing the active labours of the temperance missionaries, but the accounts exhibited a small balanee against the society. The meeting was addressed at length by Mr. Buckingham, Mr. S. C. Hall, Rev. Jabez Burns, Mr. Collins, Mr. Heyworth, Dr. Oxley, Mr. H. Vincent (who was received with more than ordinary enthusiasm), Mr. J. Collings, of Philadelphia, Mr. Mackerrow, Mr. Livesey, Mr. Teare, Mr. Logan, &c. The resolutions were of the usual character, expressing confidence in the proceedings of the national as well as the provincial associa. tions, thanks to God for the success attending their exertions, and proposing measures to insure accurate returns from all parts of the globe of the real progress of teetotalism thneigh the medium of agents. After the passing of the first resolution, a collection was made in the room in a way rendering evasion almost impossible. On a signal being given from the chair, the collectors sprang up from their seats in all parts of the hall, and in less than ten minutes evtr e y x person present Theresent amounth atleas co t li s ec n te o d w pio a rt s u s n o it l., y besidesofa contributing do nati donation the of 501. by the chairman, and some others equally liberal from the chief occupants of the platform. The proceedings throughout were of the most orderly character, and did not terminate until nearly eleven o'clock. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—The Erebus, Captain Sir John Franklin, and the Terror, Captain Crozier, discovery vessels, left Greenhithe yesterday for their destination. Each ship has been supplied with 200 tin cylinders, for the purpose of hold. ing papers, which are to be thrown overboard, with the statement of the longitude, and other particulars worthy of record, written in six different languages, and the parties finding them are re. quested to forward the information to th e Ad m i ra l ty. HE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—A writer in the Art Union has drawn attention to a number of asserted heraldic blunders which appear on the exterior of the new Houses of Par liament. He states that many of the shields are charged with de vices copied from coins of various Sovereigns, which were never intended to represent arms, and that it would be as reasonable to take .4. George and the Dragon for the arms of George IV. as to adopt those devices for the arms of the monarch on whose coinage they appear. He points out, too, amongst other objections, that supporters hare been assigned to every Sovereign, beginning with the Conqueror, though it is known that supporters were not used by the Kings of England till the reign of Richard 11., 300 years after the Conquest. _ _ THE MAILS. SOUTH A IMPTON, MAY 19. —The Oriental Company's steam-ship the Montrose, Captain Wilson, ar rived in the docks this morning from Gibraltar, which place she left on the 9th is:stant, Cadiz 10th, Lisbon 13th, Oporto and Vigo 14th, and Corunna 15th. The mails were sent to London by the nine o'clock train. The Montrose has 59 passengers, and a full cargo of fruit. The Great Liverpool will sail to-morrow with the East India and China mails, via Alexandria, also passengers, and a large cargo of bale goods, &c. BOULOGNE, MAY 18.—An alarm took place at the English chapel here, during the celebration of Divine set vice, which occasioned some personal injury, and was very near causing loss of life. While the minister was preaching, the cord of one of the sashes gave way, and the lead weight mad e a noise which gave rise to an impressicu that the gallery was falling. A great number of persons rushed for the door, amid screams from the women and children, and some twenty or thirty were thrown down and tram. pled upon. Several ladies and children were injured, though not seriously, in the struggles upon the floor; some fainted, and wer taken to neighbouring houses; and the sermon was abruptl urinated. The alarm, indeed, was so general that oar of tile Mita pewit took fePip 10_14e; the puyiat ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in JILL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning, Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION at ONE CHARGE.

The object which has for a long time occupied the attention of every railway proprietary whose line terminates near the metropolis, viz., the attainment of some point for their terminus situated more centrally, and with readier amens to London travellers than their pre sent sites, appear now to be in course of completion. Two principal lines of railway, the South Western and South Eastern, have proposed and intend to carry into effect extensions of their lines from the existing termini to the neighbourhood of the 1 Waterloo and Hunigerford Bridges, and to this point the traffic front Birmingham and the. North of England will also be enabled to pro ceed, through the contemplated extension of the West London Rail way, across the Thames to a junction with the South Western Line. The perfect attainment of the object In view will, however, remain unaccomplished, so long as the terminating point is kept on the south side of the river; since, although a considerable improvement as compared with the present positions will thereby be effected, still the station in the Waterloo-bridge-road is remote and inconvenient to the larger proportion of travellers, and the evils now so justly complained of will be far from Completely obviated: It is with the view of supplying this deficiency that the promoters of the London Central Railway Terminus lay their project before the public. They propose to provide means whereby the passenger car riages from every line in connexion with the metropolis, can be con veyed across the Thames to a general station erected in the imme diate vicinity of Charing-cross. For this purpose plans have been prepared, which have received the approval of the most eminent engineers, for carrying a double line of rails over the river, adjoining the new Hungerford Suspension bridge, and supported by a simple and inexpensive addition to the present erections of that structure. For the vast amount-of traffic which will thus be brought to the Middlesex side of the river, it k intended to provide a central station of corresponding magnitude. The Company, therefore, purpose to undertake the execution of an embankment, in connexion with the scheme of the Government for embanking the Thames, for the dis tance lying between Waterloo and Hungerford-bridsos, and on the area thus obtained from the river, to erect a station of size sufficient to Supply the purposes of every separate railway, and furnished with every requisite provision for the wants of the respective Companies and the convenience of their passengers. The property of the Com pany will extend through the whole frontage of the Adelphl-terrace, the present buildings of which, as well m those to be hereafter erected, will be admirably adapted for a series of 'splendid hotels. This project would have been before the public at an earlier period, but the projectors were desirous of obtaining the full concurrence of her Majesty's Commissioners for Metropolitan Improvements; and they are now enabled to state, that the plans of the said embank ment have been laid before the Commissioners, and have met with their decided approval. On the south side of the river the proposed railway will join the several extension lines at their nearest point of approach to the Thames and to each other, and thus will constitute a leader into the heart of London for the Birmingham, South Western, Brighton, and South Eastern lines, at present existing, as well as for the various proposed lines through Kent, and to Richmond and Staines, which will shortly be in course of construction. The Directors of severed of the above-mentioned Companies have already expressed their ap probation of the undertaking; but the advantages it offers are so great and obvious that there can be no doubt of the cordial so-opera tion of the managers and proprietors of the ether lines, without ex ception. The plan presents me fes.tares of difficulty, or Involving the neces sity of any extraordinary expense. The ground to be occupied by the station will, from its peculiar character, be obtainable at a eom paratively small cost; and from estimate. careftiry prepared, it is proved that a capital of 500,000/. will be sufficient for the accomplish ment of every purpose in contemplation. This capital it is proposed to raise in 24,000 shares of 20/. each. In order to favour the multitudinous travellers for short distances out of London, the toll charged to passengers for any station short of twenty miles will be less than that required from those bound on more extended journeys, and who are more likely to be eioumbered with luggage. An average of 2d. has been assumed *pen the whole number estimated. From the train° returns of the railways now completed, together with the Increase to be derived from the lines at present before Par liament, it Is estimated that the annual number of arrivals and de partures of passengers from their London termini, who will select the Central Station for their landing point, will amount to 5,501,000; the gross receipt from whom, at a toll of 2d. each, will be 45,900/. per annum. From this amount a deduction of 20 per cont. for working expen,es, &c. (Including the rental to the Proprietors of Hungerford bridge , will be amply sufficient, as the Company will have no need of locomotives, and therefore be freed from those items which occa sion the heaviest expenditure •a otker railways. This will leave a net profit of 36.000/. per annum for the tolls alone. To this must be added the profits that will be derived from the various wharfs and buildings, and from the proposed pier for steam-boats, amounting on the most moderate calculation to an annual rental of at least 15,000/. With this addition, the total returns will amount to somewhat more than 10 per cent. on the capital required. The completion of every new railway, and the opening of every extension line or feeder to the oils ing railways,. will produce a constant increase in the revenue of the proposed line, and promise to raise it most rapidly to an impor tant rank as an Investment for capital. The Provisional Committee have aLso taken into consideration a plan for extending the proposed Embankment and Railway from the great Central Station to some point nearer the City, and are deeply impressed with the great public advantages derivable front such an undertaking. _ _ This plan has been referred to the Engineer and Surveyors of the Company, whose report thereon may be expected in a short time, when the es'imates of the additional expense, and other particulars, will be daly announced. Forms of application and Prospectuses may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, 2s, Moorgate-street ; or from the Solicitors, Messrs. urchin and Dalrymple, 15, Bedford-row; William Chap man, Esq., 3, Arundel-street, Strand; and at the undermentioned Brokers :—Liverpool, Messrs.

AT a PUBLIC VESTRY of the Rate-payers of the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, in the county of Middlesex, held in the Vestry-room, Shoreditch Church, on Thurs day, the Bth day of May, 1845, in pursuance of a Requisition deli vered to the Churchwardens ; JOHN BEW'LEY, Esq., Upper Churchwarden, in the Chair. Moved by the Rev. HENRY VALLANCE. Chaplain to Geffryes' Hospi tal, Kingsland-road ; seconded by Mr. THOMAS EVANS, And re solved, — That this meeting enter their most decided protest against the Government proposition to endow the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth, as involving principles in the highest degree detrimental to the progress of civil and religious liberty; but this meeting, at the same time, desires that it may be distinctly understood that this protest is in no degree dictated by any feeling of hostility to their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, whether in Ireland or in England, whose rights and privileges as citizens they distinctly recognise, and would most strenuously uphold. Moved by Mr. llomixs, seconded by Mr. COTTON, and resolved— That Petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons be prepared on the foregoing Resolution, and presented to both houses; that to the House of Lords by the Bishop of London, and that to the Com mons by Jolin Masterman, Esq. ; such Petitions to be signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting.

A Preliminary survey of the country and investigation into traffic have been made, which justify the expectation that a system of ra'lway communication can be framed, calculated to furtker the interests and develop the resources of the island, and to render a liberal return for the capital to be invested, without unduly invading the privacy of property. The prOinoters 'are - anxious to give fall consideration to parties locally interested; but it is hoped that as the amount of capital re quired for the undertaking is limited, applicants for shares will confine their claims to suck a number as they many desire per manently to hold. The detailed Prospectus will be published in a few days. JAMES WHEELER, Solicitor, Manchester. CHARLES E. DEACON, Town Clerk, Southampton, May 15, 1845.

With the exception of the Suffolk Stakes, which I booked as a certainty for t'auld mare, my estimate of the running last week at Newmarket and Manchester was tolerably correct. During the present week some very good sport will be seen at the Gorhambury and Shrewsbury meetings. The former commences this day with the Gorhambury Handicap, which, if Fitzallen does not carry off, will most assuredly be pocketed by Mr. Meiklam. The Prop Stakes, for three-year. olds, will have Crim Con for winner. The Brigade Stakes will have Scarmentado for winner if he goes, if not The Altered One. On Wednesday Lord Verulam will pocket the Double Headed Oak Stakes with Maynooth, Crim Con second. The Park Stakes, for two-year-olds, has a dozen nomina tions, several of which I know nothing about, but I should say Cherokee and Anna Millen would be the first two at the finish. The St. Alban's Handicap I shall leave to Auld Lang Syne or Europa, the latter the victor. At Shrewsbury, on Wednesday, the 20 sovs. Sweepstakes for three-year-olds, will go into Mr. Hill's pocket. The Great Cleveland Handicap has 21 acceptances, and is very likely to produce a good race. Milton and Young Lochinvar are in very nicely, and will be close up at the finish; but, as in the previous race, Mr. Hill will own the winner. The Innkeepers' Plate will go to Mr. Meiklant, with Inhe ritress, or else to Mr. Hill. The Hawkstone Cup ought to go to either Alice Haw thorn or Foig-a-ballagh, should either start. I will, in conclusion, say a few words on the approaching Derby. At present it seems likely that about four or five and-twenty will be brought to the post, of which the follow ing are the " cream :"—ldas, Weatherbit, The Libel, Pam, Old England, Pantasa, Laird-e'-Cockpen, and Maynooth. Out of these the three best to stand upon are Old England, Pantasa, and The Libel. I shall enter more fully into the " crack affairs" at Epsom next week. .THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Peel's Cobweb colt—taken WOO to 10 agst Mr. Theobald's Desperation. Out of the above unusually full list, we may make a se lection of four horses as having been in very general favour, namely, Idas, Weatherbit, Alarm, and Doleful. The odds laid against the first were the same that we hare quoted for some time, namely, 2 to 1, but as on all previous occasions, offered at the finish. On Weatherbit the outlay was small, owing, not to the want of friends—of these there was no lack— but to the refusal of the layers to exceed 7to 1. Alarm was backed heavily at 10 and 11 to 1, and Doleful, near the end of the betting, at 25 to 1, a rush to back the Merry Monarch having at one time forced him back to nearly 30 to 1. The Libel, Pantasa, and Old England, were not in m uc h re quest, nor, with the exception of Forth's new favourite—the Merry Monarch—who sprung from 1,000 to 14 to 40 to was there any movement amongst the outsiders worthy of observation. We had almost forgotten to mention that John Day's lot was in immense favour at 4 to 1, and that 8 to 1 was taken to three or four hundred pounds about Forth's lot.

Simpson and Freer, John Barber, Esq., Derby. John Huish, Esq., This Company has been formed for the purpose of making a rail way between Derby and Crewe through the Potteries, thus com pleting the chain of communication by an almost direct line between the Midland and Eastern Counties and the Potteries, Liverpool and Ireland. The proposed line is intended to leave Derby on the south, passing near to Etwali and crossing the Dove at Tutbury, to continue through the valley of that river to Irttoxeter ; it will then proceed by the intervening valleys, by Longton and Lane End to Stoke in the heart of the Potteries, end thence to Crewe ; the last link (from Stoke to Crewe) is intended to be supplied by the Grand Junction Potteries Branch.—The line will thus traverse a district at present totally without railway accommodation, and (except for a portion of it) not Included in any other project. A preliminary view has been taken, and the line presents no engineering difficulties of importance. The line is proposed to be taken in such a direction as to avoid objections by gentlemen having residences near It, and the land, owners generally. The saving of distances between the places proposed to be thus eonnected will be as follows Length of By Derby '-'"" .._, ng. present route. and Crewe. Miles. Miles. Miles.

One-half of the required number of shares will be reserved for landowners and parties locally interested, and the remainder (which the Committee take this opportunity of observing, will neutssarily be of very limited amount) will be allotted to parties givinl unexcep tionable references, and the Provisional Committee announce that the number of shares alloted to any member of their body shall in no ease exceed two hundred.

ON ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLES, TAILORING, WOOLLEN-DRAPERY, and OUTFITTING ESTABLISHMENT, 29, LUDGATE-HILL, SAMUEL, BROTHERS, Proprietors. We confidently and positively assert that our system will effect a greater saving to the public in the article of dress, than has ever yet b3en realised. The Establishment of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, is the first in the world which has originated the judicious plan to which publicity is now given —a plan which cannot fail to be hailed with admiration, because, while It realises the most sanguine hopes of the economist, will be a source of pride to its Inventors, based as it is on the most enlightened views, and conducted as It will be upon the most honourable principles. We will now state in what thenovelty consists; although simple in its details, it is most beneficial to the public in its operation, and is neither more nor less than this,—Every customer will be enabled to ascertain the value and quantity of material required for every variety of garreent—each and every Cloth, Cassmere, Doeskin, &c. being marked in plain figures at the price per yard, such price being the same as would be charged upon the purchase of the material by wholesale. We shall explain to our patrons the exact quantity that will be necessary for the particular article of dress wanted, and we shall charge separately for the making and trimmings. This system, as a trial of its operation will abundantly demonstrate, will effect a saving of Hilly one-third of the expense of the articles re quired in Gentlemen's dress. The peculiar advantages of the system of SAMUEL, BROTHERS, may be practicably exemplified as follows: The average quantity of Cloth for a Coat is, IN yards, suppose, that selected be. Bs. pes,yard, materiat•Nould cost :1454, 'one charge for making and trimmings would be 18s., thus a 'really good - serviceable Coat completed in the best style will be ratide to measure ;for 325. - Again, suppose tht Cloth seleCted to be . 12s.'per yrird,•the' materiatwOuld cost, 215., our scliarge.would be 20s. for making and trimmings, and . tints a first-rate Coat made to measure arr4,com pided id the best Style will be obtained for 415., few, if ,aity, :cbarge less than 50s or 525. for the same article. The same 'saving «All be effected in every description of Clothing. Our charge for making anti trimming a Coat for Cloths under 10s. per yard is 18s. and for the higher price Cloths 20s. In quality of cloths, variety of patterns for Trousers—richness and novelty in designs for Vestings, we flatter ourselves that wo have a stock that will please every beholder. _ _ Noblemen and Gentlemen on inspecting our mode of transacting business, will be astonished at the saving they may effect in their Liveries, in many instances nearly one-half. In order to give every satisfaction, we promise that should an article, after it has been paid for, not pleas*, we will exchange it, Or return the money without demur.

Nothing decisive bas, transpired with respect to this horse's nomination • but from inquiries we have made, th ere i s great reason to believe that he was named by the Capt. Williams, whose death was announced about ten days ago, and, there fore, disqualified from_starting for the Derby. It is essential fur those who have bets on the Derby and Oaks to bear in mind that Thursday next is comparing day ; the necessity of attending to this cannot be too strongly en forced.

SIR,—In the first page of the Salisbnry Journal (now in my possession), dated Monday, June 7th, 1756, is the following an. nouncement :—" We hear that in a few days a gentleman is to perform an experiment before his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, and Lord Anson, of an invention of the great Marquis of Worcester, but highly improved by himself, which is of a composition to be fired from a cannon, and can be thrown ten miles, by which be proposes, by being stationed in a ship at the mouth of any harbour, to destroy every ship in it."—Yours respectfully, Newport, Isle of Wight, May 19, 1845 E. W. - AN IMPORTANT NEW WORK.—We learn that Mr. Bentley has in the press, and will publish in the course of a very few days, a new work by the Hon. Richard Rush, consisting of an account of his embassy at the Court of London, from 1819 to 1825, which embraces the negotiations of the important questions con. netted with Oregon, the Boundary Line, Free Navigation of the St. Lawrence, Right of Search, &c. Connected with these grave and important matters, the work abounds with anecdotes and conversations of the statesmen and wits of the day. The pro. trracted negotiations, It may be remembered, were carried on with Lord Castlereagh, Mr. Canning, Mr. Huskisson, &c. The work is a second series of Mr. Rush's " Residence in London," published some years since. Mr. Wilson continues his entertainments at the Music Hall with undiminished success. Last night he gave " Anither Nicht wi' Burns," being a sequel to the former " Nicht," all the songs of which were sung and acted with this favourite vo calist's usual thrilling style. He announced that his " Morning Entertainments," at the Queen's Concert Rooms, commence to niorrow, where he had such f tshionable audiences last leason i we doubt not but they will be equally successful this time. THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR IiANIPSTEAD. Mrs. Cunningham, the wife of the unfortunate man who was found dead in a ditch at Hampstead, states that when he left home on Thursday evening he had with him a pair of silver spectacles, which he purchased at Mr. Woodward's, the optician, of Clement's lnn-passage, and gave 28s for them. As neither these nor his hat have as yet been found, it strengthens the suspicions that some foul play has been practised towards him . Shorly before. he was last seen by h's friends, he called at the shop of his employer, Mr. Moady, of the Strand, and inquired respecting a coat which he had to make, promising shortly to return. Although he was noticed by several peisons in the neighbourhood of Hampstead upon the Friday afternoon, he is known to have bee's seen in com pany with two men in Russell-square, as late as half.past eight on the same evening; at that time he had a small stick with him, and was apparently the worse for liquor. His master, by whom he had been employed between thirteen and fourteen years, gives him a most excellent character. Deceased was a native of Yarmouth, and has left a widow and two children, the eldest a boy about twelve years of age. _ A correspondent states that the Rev. Dr. Collyer has presented a donation of 5/. to that valuable institution the Metropolitan Benefit Societies Asylum, in which Lord Robert Grotninor takes 10 wum an interot.
