The rate of mortality in the metropolitan districts, which was shown to have been augmented in the two previous weeks, has received a great additional increase in the week ending last Saturday. In the first week of November 989 deaths were registered, in the second 1,022, in the third 1,132, and in the last week of the month 1,279. During the same period the weekly mor tality of persona aged 60 years and upwards has in creased in the following numbers : 202, 207, 242, and 277. If corresponding weeks of the ten years 1841-50 be taken for comparison, it will be seen that the average was only 1,044, and that with the exception of 1847, when in consequence of the commencement of epidemic influenza at the end of November in that year the deaths rose to 1,677, there is no corresponding week in which the mortality was so high as in last week. The average, as above stated, may be corrected for increase of popu lation, and in this case it becomes 1,146, compared with which the 1,279 deaths now registered show an excess of 131. The mortality of young persons in last week increased 6 per cent., of persons in middle life 14 per cent., and of those of advanced age 19 per cent. above the average. As might be supposed from the early severity of the weather, the table of fatal causes shows that diseases which affect the respiratory organs have been mainly instrumental in destroying life. During the last four weeks the deaths from this class of complaints hare in creased as follows:-148, 168, 256, and 298. Phthisis, which stands in the tubercular class, produced in the same periods 125, 123, 135, and 161 deaths, and hooping cough 17, 22, 27, and 34. Phthisis or consumption now exceeds the ordinary amount of mortality. Last week laryngitis carried off 6 persons, pleurisy 4, bronchitis 134, pneumonia 123, asthma 26, diseases of the same class, not defined, 5. The fatal cases enume rated under these heads amount in the aggregate to 298, while the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 240. . . -- - --. A woman aged 56 years died of chronic bronchitis, at 20, Star-street, Paddington. The medical attendant states that " the deceased was severely affected by the effluvia from the drains of the house." . The class of epidemics numbered last week 252, which is just about the average at this season. Small pox, which appears to increase, was fatal to 32 children and five persons of 20 years or more. In the sub•dis trict of Charing-cross, at 14, Bullin-court, on Nov. 25, a gunmaker's son, aged 2 years, died of " smallpox, natural (12 days), pneumonia (4 days)." Mr. Leonard states that " the disease attacked all the children of the family; the child which has fallen a victim was the only one unprotected by vaccination. Small-pox modified by vaccination is very prevalent among children under 12 years of age in parts of his district, and the re sult is the strongest proof of the benefits of vaccina tion." At 1, Lower Sussex-place, Old Kent-road, two sons of a japanner, aged six years and one year, died of " variola,' in one case after five days', and in another after 11 days' illness. Mr. Stevens, the registrar, adds, that " in neither of these cases had the children been vaccinated, the parents baying an aversion to it; and the disease is still prevalent in the family." At 4, Jordan place, Islington, the son of a labourer, aged two years, died of " smallpox (6 days), not vaccinated." Mr. But terfield remarks that the disease, though not fatal in all cases, has much increased in his district. In the sub district of St. James, Clerkenwell, at 6, White Horse court, on the 18th and 24th November respectively, the twin daughters of a carman, aged eight months, died of " variola, confluent (11 days), not vaccinated." In the sub-district of Hackney-road, at 46, Old Nichol-street, on the 22d November, the son of a packer, aged four years, died of "smallpox (12 days), vaccinated, with doubtful effect, four years ago." Mr. Murray de scribes the street as "crowded, close, and undrained." In the sumo subdistrict, at 20, Vincent-street, which is also described as " a low, close, over-crowded street and totally undrained," the son of a hawker, aged ono year, died of "natural smallpox (nine days)." A court in Hackney-road sub-district, viz , Smith's-buildings, where the wife of a hawker died of peritonitis, is also stated to be " narrow, close, over-crowded, undrained, and wretched iu the extreme." Scarlatina is now on the, decline; it was fatal lasi week in 3S cases. In the subdistrict of Mile-end, Old Town Lower, at Albert-road, Mr. Castleden registered the deaths of three girla in one family, from scarlatina inaligna, who died respectively on the 22d, 26th, and 27th of November. He adds, "The situation of the house is very open, and the place, I believe, well drained. The father states his belief that the disease was caught at a preparatory school which one of the deceased attended. The whole family of eight children have been attacked, and there are now three not out of danger." It is satisfactory to observe that typhus, continued fever, &c., have also declined; these, which numbered . , 60 cases and upwards in previous weeks, have decreased to 50. One death occurred from intermittent fever, 2 from remittent fever, 3 from rheumatic fever, 3 from influenza, 2 from purpura, 6 from croup, 28 from diarrheas, 21 from measles, 4 from thrush, 11 from erysipelas, and 7 from puerperal fever, besides 7 other cases of women dying after child birth. At 5, Rutland-place, Holloway, the widow of a labourer, aged 35 years, died of " fever (15 days) ex haustion." Mr. Butterfield reports that " Rutland place is decidedly unhealthy, and many deaths occurred in its neighbourhood during the time of cholera." No death has been registered from cholera during the last three weeks in the metropolitan districts. DARTFORD EXPLOSION. INQUEST ON THE SEVEN BODlES.—Yesterday Mr. C. J. Carttar_ held an inquest in the board room of the Dartford Union, on the bodies of Christopher Haggart, William Harrison, Thomas Nash, Joseph Loft, James Goldsmith, Mrs. Sarah Goodeve, and Jane Brown, the seven unfortunate persons who perished at the explosion which occurred on Tuesday afternoon last in the rocket manufactory of Mr. Callow. The jury having viewed the remains of the sufferers, which had been carefully collected and laid upon a quantity of straw in the dead house, and covered over with drugget, the Coroner pro ceeded to take the evidence of the various witnesses. One of the workmen who had been in the factory a few minutes before the explosion, described the nature of the building and its condition at that time. One-half of the floor was of board and the other of fine gravel. The de tonating powder with which the fusee or miners' match was filled was; usually spread upon a table, at which the min sat to fill the fusees, while the women were engaged in labelling, an operation which consists in dipping the cases in hot resin after they have been filled, and wrap ping the label round it while the label is hot. None of the witnesses could explain the cause of the accident. The owner of the factory deposed to have given orders for the exclusion of the women from the building, in order to their employment in the house, which was less dangerous. The other witnesses, however, showed that it was by the foreman's orders that the women were at the scene of danger when the accident occurred. It was stated that about three or four bushels of the ex plosive mixture was on the premises when they blew up. The jury not being satisfied with the amount of light thrown by the evidence on the cause of the occur rence, adjourned. THE MARSHALS OF THE EMPIRE In the person of Marshal Soult ceases to exist the last of the eighteen marshals created by the Emperor Napoleon, on May 19, 1604, the day after the pro clamation of the empire.

FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1851• RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. A special general meeting of shareholders in the above company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, David Waddington, Esq., chairman of the company, presiding, to consider and determine on the propriety of uniting with the London and Blackwell Railway Com pany in an application to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to make a railway from Ilford to Tilbury (opposite Gravesend) and Southend, and fur ther to receive a report from the directors as to the measures intended to be brought forward in Parliament in the ensuing session on behalf of this company, or by other parties, and which affect the interests of this com pany. Mr. WADDINGTON, in opening the proceedings, apo logised for the late preparation of the maps of the con templated alterations. The whole blame lay with the lithographer. The measures about to be submitted were of great importance to the interests of the company. The first point was connected with the Great Northern Company. They had given that company notice that it was their intention to pass over a portion of their line, but, in consequence of the kindly disposition recently evinced by their directors, it was only intended to hold the power as a means of protection.—(Cheers.) The next point had reference to the junction between the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Rail way, and the Southend and Stratford Railway. This would give them a communication with the North- Western Railway, by what was called the Willesden branch, and various other advantages. Much incon venience was removed by this arrangement, for which the consent of the shareholders was necessary. An other alteration would give them command of the port of Harwick, by the Eastern Union line. The total cost of estimated alterations as connected with these junc tions would bo 30,0001. The next point was their pro posed arrangement with the Blackwell Company. There had long been a struggle as to who should have a portion of the Essex traffic, and at last the two companies bad agreed to apply together to Parlia ment for a line of thirty-six miles, from Ilford to Tilbury, to Southend. They would then both be within a few minutes of being as near Gravesend as the North Kent line, and, he expected, would get the great bulk of that traffic. The traffic to Gravesend And Southend would amount to about 48,0001. per annum. He had proposed to distribute the capital necessary for the proposed line among their own shareholders, being sure of the paying nature of the traffic. But knowing the depressed state of their pro perty—(Hear, hear)—he had merely reserved half, which would be created into a 6 per cent. stock.—(Dis sent.) This would be offered to the shareholders, but it would be entirely optional whether they took it or no, as there were other parties ready to take up the stock.— (Hear, hear.) The sum proposed to be raised for this purpose was 45,0001., in shares of 101. each, with a de posit of 255. per share. But the advantages would be great. The traffic would pass over their line in propor tions of 5,3, and 3 miles respectively, for which they would receive toll without one farthing expense.— (Cheers.) Their security would consist in the facilities they would give the Blackwall Company in the passage of their Bill through Parliament. The next point was one of the greatest importance, and that was their pro posed connexion with the East Anglian Railways. After some negotiation, the following terms had been agreed on, by which they bad anticipated the Great Northern, which would otherwise have seriously inter fered with their trade to Wisbeach. The East Anglian Company had shown that they earned 35,0001. a year, and he had entered into a provisional arrangement with them, subject to the consent of the share holders, which would possible, in the first instance, en tail a loss of 5,0001. a year in working the line, but if they had allowed the Great Northern Company to get this line to St. Ives, it would have been absolute ruin to the Eastern Counties; and he believed i that the ar rangement would place their property n a perfectly sound position.—(Cheers.) If, as he expected, they should be able to work the line at 50/. per week, there would be no loss, but he thought it best to place the project before the shareholders in its least favourable aspect. Another point was the arrangement by which they would obtain a line from Wisbeach to what was culled the harbour line, by the construction of a small branch from the River Nene, at a cost of 16,000/. And the last was their arrangement for working the New market and Chesterford line. The only other subject to which he should allude was the working arrangement they had made with the Blackwell Company, by which the Eastern Counties would obtain two city termini, and he believed acquire a large residential traffic. The chairman concluded by reading a series of resolutions, embodying the above objects. The CHAIRMAN said he would commence by putting the resolutions respecting the Ilford and Tilbury line to the meeting, and would then proceed with the others seriatim. Mr. Box said there was a difference of opinion as to the probabilities of profit from the Southend traffic, but he wished to know if they had not already a Bill for the purpose now sought? Ile saw among the law ex penses an item of 9,629/. for Parliamentary expenses for such a Bill. The CHAIRMAN said that that item was a fruit of the past struggles between the Eastern Counties and Black well Companies. It was probable Mr. Box might find more items of a similar nature. The object of the present proceeding was to avoid such ruinous struggles in future.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Box said a statement was current that this line was proposed because their chairman had property near Southend. Ile wished to give Mr. Waddington au op portunity of contradicting it. The CHAIRMAN—I have not a shilling's worth there. Mr. Box then asked whether Southend Pier was not the property of the Eastern Counties Company ? The CHAIRMAN explained that in the course of their works at Southend they found they were entrenching on the grounds of the Pier Company. They had, there fore, bought the whole from the head landlords, the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, and the property was now paying 1,0004 a year.—(Hear, hear.) They had paid for it 17,0004 Mr. M'LAREN said that it was proposed to create a six per cent. stock for the purposes of the new line. He wished to know who was to guarantee it.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to know,. also, whether the contracts had been publicly advert4ed. Ile thought that the best plan would be to adjourn the vote for further con sideration. The CHAIRMAN said that his object at present was merely to take the cpinion of the shareholders as to the propriety of taking the stock. No contracts had been taken or offered, and it was perfectly optional whether the Eastern Counties shareholders took any of the stock or not. Mr. M'LAREN said that they lost 10,0001. a year by the North Woolwich and Thames Junction, and it was the proprietors of that line that were the instigators of the present. The CHAIRMAN said that the proposed line would not involve a shilling responsibility to the Eastern Counties shareholders. They might or might not take the stock as they thought fit. All they were positively asked to do was to approve o f t he application to Parliament, and to facilitate its progress. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Sainsbury, Mr. Helps, the Chairman, and Mr. Howes took part, the re solution was put and carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting approved of the proposed expen diture of 50,0001. on the branch lines specified in the statement. Mr. KNIGHT seconded the motion. M r . Box said he hoped that the works would be ad vertised, and not let by private agreement. The CHAIRMAN said he quite approved of the principle of advertising contracts, because he wanted to have them executed as cheap as possible. Mr. HELPS protested against the mo tion a s b e i ng il legal, stating that it could not be discussed at that meeting. The SOLICITOR said they might discuss the question, although they could not then legally pass the resolution. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE agreed with his Learned Friend Mr. Helps, and proceed e d at some length t o oppose the motion amid hisses and expressions of dis approbation. He concluded by moving that " the meet ing do now adjourn." Mr. HELPS seconded the amendment, which, on being put to the meeting, was negatived by a large majority. The CHAIRMAN said he had no wish to force resolu tions on the meeting, but he had come forward with them in consequence of a pledge given to the shareholders on a former occasion.—(Applause.) The motion was then put and carried, as were also resolutions approving of the outlay of 16,0001. on the branch to the Wisbech river, the payment of 5 per cent. interest on the 50,0001. to be expended by the Black wall Company on the station at Fenchurch-street; also with regard to the applicatioias to Parliament for per mission to enter into agreements with the Newmarket nd Chesterford and East Anglian Railway Companies. In reply to questions, The CHAIRMAN stated, that the working expenses on the line had been considerably reduced. The locomo tive expenses were now at the rate of lid. per mile, as compared with 16d. at the corresponding period of last year. Up to the 16th of November, 1851, the expendi ture iu that department amounted to 45,0661., and the number of miles run were 968,667, being at 11d. per mile. At the corresponding period of last year the ex penses amounted to 59,7191., and the miles run to 874,817, being at the rate of 16d. per mile, showing an increase in the mileage of 93,850 miles, and a reduction in the expenditure of 14,7234 —(Applause.) It was ex pected that the permanent way of the East Anglian line could be maintained for 601. a mile per annum, and if that and other things could be done there would be no loss on the East Anglian agreement. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. (1 BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. A long correspondence on the subject of the opening of this line has taken place between the London and North-Western Railway Company and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company. The first letter is dated the 22d of November, 1861, and emanates from the London and North-Western Company, stating that the line was about to be opened, and that in order to prevent any misunderstanding the directors wero advised that the event had happened upon which it was provided by the Stour Valley Act of 1847 that the special powers of using the line given to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company should cease, and the directors felt it their duty to act upon that advice. In answer to this the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company on the 24th November gave notico through their soli citors of their intention to run ever the Stour Valley line on the Ist of December, stating that the directors did not consider that the company had either relinquished or forfeited the right which it obtained to use that railway; and that the question could be decided in a court of law by consent of both parties, the right in the meantime being conceded with out prejudice. Mr. Carter, the solicitor to the London and North-Westera Company, in reply to the notice from the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, stated on the 27th of November that the company had been advised that under the agreement made by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company with the Great Western Company and the other proceedings of the parties the special powers given the company under the Stour Valley Act of 1847 had ceased, and that it was the intention of the company .to resist by all lawful means any attempt to exercise those powers. And, in order to afford every reasonable facility for obtaining a speedy decision upon the question at issue, they sug gested that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company should file a bill and move for an injunction to restrain the London and North-Western Com pany from preventing them using the line in the terms of the Act, the London and North- Western undertaking to admit that they resist such use, and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany undertaking to produce the arguments in question, and all other documents affecting the matter. Between the 27th and 29th of November some letters passed be tween the solicitors on both sides respecting the intention of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company to book passengers and to run over the Stour Valley line with engines and carriages. On the let of December the ex ecutive committee of the Shresbury and Birmingham Company submitted a proposition to the London and North-Western Company to the effect—" That the exer cise of the right of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company to use the Stour Valley Railway be sus pended without prejudice for a month, the London and North-Western Company undertaking forthwith to bring the objection raised by them to that right before the Court for adjudication by injunction or otherwise, and to open forthwith and work for public use the Stour Valley Railway between the joint station at Wolverhampton and Birmingham." The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany undertook, if the first proposal be not accepted, to suspend in like manner until after Monday, the Bth inst., the exercise of the same powers under any circum stances. On the 2d of December Mr. Carter, the soli citor to the London and North-Western Company, stated in reference to the course adopted by the Shrews bury and Birmingham Company on the let inst. to force a passage over the Stour Vailey line, that nothing but the presence of the Mayor and magistrates and of a body of police prevented them from carrying their threatened violence into execution, and that certain loss of life must have been the result. Tbat before they could run their engines and carriages on the Stour Valley line it was therefore absolutely necessary that the extent of their alleged rights should be ascertained by an appeal to the law. Mr. Roy, the solicitor of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, in a letter dated the 3d December, complains that the solicitor of the London and North-Western Company had misrepresented the conduct of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company on the Ist instant, stating that the latter company had given sufficient notice of their intention to run over the line, to enable the London and North-Western Company to move the Court of Chancery to restrain them from exercising the right, and that in stead of doing so they chose to threaten them (the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company) with violence in case they carried on their traffic from Wolverhampton. Under these circumstances, the company had no alter native, rather than risk the public safety, but to abstain from carrying on the traffic of the district and to call in the aid of the magistracy and police while they formally asserted their right. Ho concludes by stating that since the London and North-Western Company persist in keeping the Stour Valley Railway closed, the Shrews bury and Birmingham have gone further, and met them with an offer to suspend their right of using the Stour Valley Railway, if the London and North-Western will carry the public themselves. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Dec, 4. MOORHOUSE V. COLVIN. This cause, which was partly opened yesterday, was resumed. Mr. Roupell and Mr. Toiler were for the plaintiff, Susan Moorhouse. The object of the bill was to obtain from the Court a decree, setting up a marriage contract in the nature of a covenant, entered into by Peter Cochrane, the testator, who had been resident in India for many years, and whose rank there was equivalent to that of general in the army, he being first member of the Medical Board at Bengal. He married a native woman, named Baba Begum, in 1800, and the result of the union was the plaintiff. In 1808 Dr. Cochrane married a lady named Fearon, by whom he had issue two children, Peter Coch rane and John Cochrane. lie brought the plaintiff up in the same manner as his other children, and sent her to England for the purpose of education. Upon his re turning to this country, in 1818, he took up his resi dence in Scotland, where the plaintiff resided with him for some time. By a will, datedin Dec., 1818, he made pro vision for the plaintiff's mother, and gave to the plaintiff a lac of Sicca rupees—equivalent to 12,6001. sterling. He afterwards sent the plaintiff out to India, and placed her under the charge of Dr. Thomas. He was very desirous that she should form a matrimonial connexion, and, upon proposals being made by Ensign Moorhouse, he authorised a communication to be made to that gentle man to the effect that upon the marriage taking place he should receive 2,0001., nor should that be all, she (the plaintiff) was and should bo noticed in his will, but to what amount, from the then low state of interest, he could not say. He also expressed a wish that the amount to be given should be settled upon the lady. The mar riage took place. The testator had stated to various persons at different times that he intended to leave the plaintiff a lac of rupees. By his last will, made on the 14th of October, 1829, he left his property, amounting to between 200,0001. and 300,0001. to his two sons, Peter and John, upon their attaining 25; but in case they died before or without issue, then he left it to the issue of the plaintiff's marriage. Both sons have since died, without issue. The present bill was filed to enforce what was contended by the plaintiff amounted to a covenant on the part of the testator, which bound his estate. Mr. JAMES appeared for the husband of the plaintiff. The MASTER. of the ROLLS, without hearing Mr. Roundell Palmer, who was for the defendant, said he did not consider that there was such a contract as the Court could enforce, and must dismiss the bill, but without costs. The defendant to hare his costs out of the estate. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec. 4, (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN RE JOHN BERNARD BURKE. This insolvent, described as an heraldic and general author, and a barrister, applied to be discharged. Mr. J. MORGAN appeared on behalf of the assignees of Mr. Churton, the bookseller, who has recently become bankrupt. Mr. COOKE, for the insolvent, objected that the par ties for whom Mr. Morgan appe.ared were not creditors, and therefore could not appear. The debt arose upon bills, and it might be that not a single bill was in Mr. Churton's hands or those of his assignees, in which case they would not be creditors. Mr, MORGAN said some of the bills had been proved, and consequently the estate was injured to the extent of those bills. _ _ Mr. COOKE replied that at present no dividend had been paid, and consequently the estate had not been damnified. The Learned COMMIS'IONER said his impression was that no debt had been proved. Mr. MORGAN then called Mr. Churton, who stated that independently of the bill transactions there was a book debt due to him from insolvent for printing to the extent of about 1501. He held 400 copies of a work which was sold at two guineas, but, as it was of a peculiar charac-. ter, he could not say what the real value was. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS considered a sufficient debt had been shown to give the assignee a locus standi. Mr. MORGAN was not desirous of pressing any thing against the insolvent, but his clients wished to know whether the insolvent would consent to appro , priate any portion of his future earnings to the payment ' of the debts. Mr. COOKS remarked that the profits of a literary man were too vague to base any proposition upon them. The insolvent had laboured hard to liberate himself from the burdens which he had incurred from his father. The insolvent, upon being questioned, said he was in receipt of 201. a month for editing certain works, but out of that he had to pay a clerk 1001. a year ; and, be sides, his health had been so shattered that ho was al. ways in the doctor's hands. Therefore, he could not undertake to set aside any sum without exposing him self to fresh difficulties. Mr. COOKE drew the attention of the Court to the fact that the insolvent's own debts were only 3001., although his means had been drawn upon largely to meet his father's liabilities. The insolvent said at his father's death he was left encumbered with 2,0001. of debts, besides bill transac tions, of which he had paid 1,600 1 His debts were 6,000/., of which 5,000/. were liabilities of his father. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS thought there was no reason to refuse the insolvent the discharge he asked for, and there was nothing in the case in any way to a ff ec t his honour. The cause of the insolvency wa s self inflicted, but springing from certainly the purest sources. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged forthwith. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Mr. James Solyman Davis, a dealer in plate, watches, jewellery, &c., of 14, Dalby-terrace, City-road, was brought up on a warrant before Alder man C u bi tt, charged with obtaining on credit 20 silver watches and other goods from Messrs. Holland and Co., within three months of his bankruptcy, under colour and pretence of carrying on business, and dealing in th e or di nary course of trade, with intent to defraud the said Messrs. Hol land and Co. After some discussion as to the amount, the Alderman fixed the bail in two sureties of 250/. each, and prisoner in his own recognizance of 6001, with 24 hours' notice. The prisoner was then remanded. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Edward Clarke, a surly-looking man, was brought up for final examination, charged with nearly killing his wire by striking her on the head with a hammer. The prisoner was fully committed. Richard Anthony Knight, collector in the service of Mr. B. Nichol!, shirtmaker, Regent-circus and Lombard street, was charged with embezzlement. The prisoner was fully committed. LAMBETH. Thomas Bew, the notorious begging•letter impostor, who has been in custody for some weeks on two charges of gross fraud—the first in obtaining 251. from the Earl of Digby by false representations, and the second in getting 201. from his Grace the Archbishop of Canter bury by the same means—was again placed at the bar before the ion. G. C. Norton. Captain Wood, the managing director, and Mr. Fer guson, the clerk to the Mendicity Society, were present to watch the case. Mr, NORTON, in committing the prisoner for trial, re- marked that the public were much indebted to the Noble Earl (Earl Digby, who had attended the court) for having, at his advanced period of age (nearly 80), and at this inclement season, travelled nearly 200 miles to discharge what be considered to be an act of duty by as sisting the ends of justice. In no class of cases more than the present was justice more frequently frustrated, as the fraud was generally practised on aged and nervous persons, and therefore it was most praiseworthy on the part of the venerable Earl to come forward as he had done. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. The annual meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office in Leadenhall-street, Captain S. Thornton, R.N., in the chair. The meeting was numerously attended. The report, read by Mr. Howell, the secretary, announced a sum disposable for the half-year's divi dend of 50,216/. The directors recommended a di vidend of 4 per cent. upon the half-year, amounting to 42,0001., which left a balance to be carried to the next year's account of 8,2161. Two screw steamers of 1,200 tons and one of 1,800 tons have been ordered to be built. The two former are expected to be ready in January, and the latter by next May. The directors have also purchased on the stocks two other screw steamers of 700 tons each, for the purposes of the monthly (or more frequent) communication be tween Calcutta and China. The first, the Shanghai, was dispatched for her station on the 221 of October last, and the second, the Chusan, will be ready for sea early in January. The report also states that— " In order to meet the growing demands of the public on the company's lines of communication between England, India, and China, &c., for more extended passenger accommodation, and also for an increased rate of speed, the directors have con tracted for one of a series of larger steamers, which they have named the Himalaya,' measuring upwards of 3,000 tons, and to be propelled by engines of 1,200 horse-power. The hull is now in progress by Messrs. Mare and Co., of Black wall, and the engines are being constructed by Messrs. Penn, of Greenwich. The directors have confidence in stating, that they expect this ship to realize a higher rate of speed than has hitherto been attained by any large ocean-going steamer." The loss of the Pasha, one of the Com pany's steam-vessels, in the Straights of Malacca, on the 21st of July, by collision with the company's steam-ship Erin, was adverted to in terms of deep re • gret, on account of the loss of life by which this melancholy accident was attended; but, with this exception, the company's fleet was reported to be in a most efficient state, and their affairs generally in a satisfactory condition. The directors congratulated the shareholders upon the removal of the difficulties which have hitherto impeded the construction of the railway through Egypt, the works upon which will now be carried forward with all possible speed. The directors finally recommend a dividend of 4 per cent., clear of income-tax, for the half-year ending the 30th of September last, payable on the 23d inst. The report having been read, The CHAIRMAN assured the shareholders that the directors would follow up the inquiries already being made in India relative to the loss of the Pasha, and that they would visit with their severe displeasure any person guilty of negligence on that occasion. The rest of the report presented, be said, one unvaried subject of congratulation. The company had, he be lieved, fulfilled the expectations of the Government, and had increased the confidence reposed in them by the loyal and faithful discharge of all the obligations which they had entered into with the state. The directors had had it in their power to assist the Go vernment by the conveyance of troops, &c., to the Cape of Good Hope, and it was a subject of congra tulation that during a period of seven years, and comprehending about eighty voyages, only one mis hap had occurred in bringing the mails from China to this country. General BRIGGS moved the adoption of the report ; and Dr. BEATTIE, in seconding the motion, declared that the commencement of the railway through Egypt was owing to the persuasive influence of Lord Pal merston, to whom the company was deeply indebted. In reply to Mr. LEWIN, The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt the new steamers in course of being built for the company would be able to accomplish the speed required by the new contrast. Several gentlemen expressed their satisfaction with the position and prospects of the company, and their confidence in the directors. The election by the directors of Mr. W. F. Do Salis to fill the vacancy at the board occasioned by the death of Sir J. Pirie, Bart., was confirmed ; and Mr. J. C. E wart and Captain A. Nairne, the outgoing directors, were re-elected. The recommendation of a dividend of 4 per cent. upon the half-year was also agreed to, and the meet ing separated after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their services.

Yesterday th e h a lf- yearly general meeting o f proprietors was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, W. Anderson in the chair. The report read by th e secre t ary , a f ter re f err i ng t o the satisfactory positi on o f th e com p an y, s t a t e d th a t the receipts arising from tolls for the half-year, from February 23 to August 23, amounted to 10,7041. 9s. 101; the rec e i p t s f or the correspon di ng per i o d o f t h e previous year being 8,434/. 18s. Bd., showing an in crease of 2,269/. 1 ls. 2d., of which 1,4001. 2s. was for horses and carr i ages, and 869/. 9s. 2d. for foot pas sengers. There had been a further increase since August last of about 1,3461. on these items. This in crease had been i n a grea t d eg ree ow in g t o the attrac tion of the Great Exhibition, and consequent greater traffic. The balance in hand, which in February was 0001. 25., after payment of current expenses, interest on bonds, dividend of 3s. 6d. in the pound to the annuitants, and other disbursements, now amounted to 2,8141. Os. 11d. Several vacancies in the direction had occurred, and the committee, in closing their re port, assur e d th e p ro p r i e t o r s th a t eve rything affecting the interests of the company had received their best attention, and expressed their satisfaction that the bridge was still in a perfectly sound state, without any appearance of defect or settlement. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was unanimously adopted, after which the auditor's report was read to the meeting and con firmed. Three vacancies in the committee having been de clared, Sir John Rennie, Mr. A. Gordon, and Mr. J. Ivatt Briscoe, who had retired by rotation, were re-elected ; Mr. Benjamin Olivera was proposed as a member of the committe, in the room of Mr. Bread nall deceased, and unanimously elected ; Mr. J. R. Walsh being also again chosen as auditor of the com pany. Some conversation took place on the subject of a project for a railway across the Thames over Hunger ford-bridge, some account of which has app eare d i n the papers, by which, if carried out, it wa s su pp ose d the interests of the company might be affected. The Chairman stated, however, that, as far as could be as certained, there was no such project i n ex i s t ence; that no Parliamentary notice had been given, and the necessary deposit bad not been paid ; nor were the railway company (the South-W es t ern ) aware o f th e . scheme referred to ; was therefore unnecessary for the company to take any step in the matter. Thanks were voted to the chair man an d di rec t o r s for their services, which were briefly acknowledged by the former, and the meeting adjourned. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Ointment and Pills an infallible Remedy for Tumours, Swellings, and Con tracted Joints. Ann Carter, housemaid, residing with a fa mily is Burton-crescent, had an immense tumour on her right knee, which increased to such a size that she could not bend the joint, and was in consequence obliged to leave her situa tion. Her medical attendant informed her that there was no chance of cure, and it would be necessary to amputate the limb. This opinion not satisfying her, she commenced using Holloway's Ointm en t an d P i lls i n good, earnest, and by God's blessing they have been the means of effecting a perfect cure, and she has resumed her former situation.—Sold by all Drug- Lgists, and at P ro c essor H olloway ' s Establishment, 244, Strand,- oadai. _ THE COUNTRY MARKETS. i .LitlSnol., DEC. 4.—The supply of both ^s foreign wheat was short, and each is dearer by at le b .. imperial3d7itst 375; ditto d (s i u tt p e ci e r r d ; fi i is per Touter.
