The debt to the State, which, 54,711,G67f. , was on 31st last December only 31,31 9 ,229 f. were paid on an average on march 24; the four millions due in 1851, up to the present time, were also paid be forehand, one half from May 10 to July 1 of last year, and the other half from February 4 to March 5 present re y ee e d ar t . o T 29 h , e 3l d 2 e , b 2 t 2 o 9 7 ., in in g te t r o es th t e in S el t u a d te ed is . cTohne in hand 6,877,916 f. in Treasury bonds, taken in s°Befoltaureednhtlas paid since 1848, 29,000,000 f., and has in addition y Decem ber last at 4 per cent. interest. As the whole sum re mainingcip a l line to a n b d e t expended h e o sn toD e . Calais,3 , I D B4 u 9 n , k l i o ri r ,, th a e nd pr s in t: Quentin amounted to 11.819,026 f.; and as a sum of 4,535,468 f was paid in 1850, there remains still to be paid on Dec. 31, 1850, a sum of 7,283,557 f. The money ex pended in 1850 related principally to the completion of the St. Quentin line; the definitive construction of the stations of Calais, St. Omer, aed Douai; the enlarge ment, as foreseen, of a number of station's and goods' yards; and, finally, the construction of stock. The commu• nication of the line with the docks at Dunkirk has been carried considerably further down the quay, and Low per mits goods to be transferred at once from the waggons of the railway to the vessels ready to receive them. This produces a considerable saving, and facilitates the deve lopment of the relations with England, particularly in the exportation of flour, which is every day increasing. The whole sum expended during the year 1850 amountzd to 16,535,466`'. 83c. The report then proceeds to give account of the working for the past year, and states that the remits have been most favourable, as appears from the following table:— _ . _ 1543. 1849. 1850. Passengers Goods by quick; trains Goode by slow trains 15,474,214 f. 19,326,478 f. 23,694,8931' . In looking at the receipts of the stations it is found that the:Jo on the frontiers have increased by far the most—those of Quievrain are 40 per cent. higher; Dun kirk, 38 per cent.; Calais, 28 per cent.; and iouseron, 71 per cent., ard if a more intelligent system of customs were estabiithed, this increase would doubtless be own still more considerable. The ex pen,es have by no means augmented in proportion to the increase in the receipts, as from being 7,386,534 f., they are only 8,837,865 f. in 1850. The aug mentation in the items of the central administration, di vision of working, and division of repairs, is only 141 per cent.; and in the division of stock and workshops, the charges of which are in more direct connexion with the traffic, 24 per cent. And even this latter charge has during the past year been unusually high in consequence of the extraordinary repairs rendered necessary in the carriages, the state of which had suffered more than or dinarily from the perturbation caused in the workshops in consequence of the revolution of February. This item during the present and ensuing years will return to its general level, the stock now being in the most peLz fect state of repair. The receipts of the working, de* duetion made of taxes on passengers, indemnities, money paid back, &c., amount t 0... 22,670,411 f. 46c.

The report then briefly touches on the law-suit at present pending between the Northern Company and that of Boulogne, and declares that the suit :s not yet terminated, but that the Northern Company awaits the result with confi dence. The establishment of the electric telegraph on the line is then alluded to, and is spoken of as highly advantageous to the service in simplifying all the details of the working. The plan of receiving shares in depot for the shareholders had been found to answer perfectly. The Northern Company had purchased, in conjunction with that of Strasburg, nine hectares of land situated be tween the Paris termini of the two lines. The two com panies addressed, on October 25th, 1350, to the Minister of Public Works an application for permission to establish a junction line between the two main lines. The application was referred to a com mission, and no definitive answer has yet been given to the demand made; all that the Northern and Strasburg companies wanted was a ready means of communication between their lines, which they:were quite willing to effect at their own expense, and the cost of which would exceed from 60,000 F. to 80,000 f. The es tablishment of such a line was altogether independent of a general junction line, and would it executed save both companies very considerable expense. In the last place the report alludeste the improvements lately established in the commuuications with England and Germany. The traveller can now leave Paris at half-past seven in the evening, and arrive in London at a quarter to eight the next morning, and can go over the whole distance from Paris to Edinburgh, 1,211 kilometres, or 757 English miles, in less than 26 hours. Also, from the let of May such additional rapidity was to be imparted to the Berlinsef vice to Germany, that the journey from Pa ris to would be effected in 35 hours, and from Paris to Co.. logne in 17i hours. Likewise, by Calais from Berlin to London, in 40 hours, and from Cologne to London in 22i hours. After the reading of the report, the conclusions of the report of the committee on the accounts of 1849 were approved of, and the accounts declared to be definitively passed. The accounts presented for 1850 were then provision ally approved of, as was the dividend of Bt. per share proposed; and the same committee was appointed to ex amine them as had examined those of 1849. The outgoing directors, MM. Ilottinguer, Caillard, Dastier, F. Baring, and Dalon, were re-elected unani mously. The CueinetaN, in answer to a question asked rela tive to the payment of the dividend, stated that any shareholder could be at once paid the amount coming to him, at a discount of 4 per cent., the rate of interest at which the Treasury bonds were held by the company being 4 per cent.—(Marks of satisfaction greeted this announcement.) The meeting then separated. .KIN G'S COLLEGE. Yesterday the annual meeting of the council of this institution took place, at the College, Strand; the Bishop of Lichfield in the chair. The Right Rev.

The report of Professor Guy, the dean, on the state of this department, was highly satisfactory. The numbers had increased, the discipline was unrelaxed, the system had worked well. On the subject of the hospital, the Learned Professor s p o k e at length, and adduced the most convincing statistics to prove the inefficiency of the present building, and the necessity of immediately erecting one more capacious to supply its place. He re ferred, also, to the distinction s won at other universities by quondam pupils of King's College, and whilst praistrg the present generation, urged them to emulate their predecessors' industry and worth. Dr. Jelf, and others, next addressed the meeting, and the prizes having been distributed, thanks we re vot ed to the chairman, and the company dispersed. „......1.J..r.....-............„..._ . - . ~-. 4 „ A TI rl , 1 ' Ern W. - : - ME ”.

HO.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each clans of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion rremium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as tire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Avenge. the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire ()Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to time, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company iipcn every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applies.- lien at the Office, or to any of its Agents. CREBIORNE, THIS DAY.

The FOURT ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The follo w i n g is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 200/. —making together 7001., 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, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number Issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 134 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,045/., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 123- 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 ls. 6d. Of these 5 . 4 lapsed, a mounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6 d. , of which the annual premiums were 7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. lis. 103. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed , as Head Ag ent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, 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 Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monse i g neur Parties, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable 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- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establi ult sh s - ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present res and future prospects.

In addition to the usual supplemental matter, this publication contains the entire " Postal" and " Parliamentary Directories," ex actly as in the complete work; it extends to an hundred closely printed imperial octavo pages, and is the cheapest work which issues from the English press. Indeed, it is sold at about the same (pro portionate) price as the e^mplete "Post Office London Directory" itself, which, as stated in an able review in the " Times," " Is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and It may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever." The Directory was characterised by the " Examiner" as " a perfect marvel of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of information ;" and the " Morning Herald" described it as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laugh ing rivalry to scorn."

ROUSE OF COMMONS, April 30. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) HIGHWAYS (SOUTH WALES) BILL. Upon the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. NICHOLLS objected to the principle of the Bill, which he contended was nothing more than making South Wales the scene of experiment. He should op pose going into Committee on the Bill, and if that were unsuccessful, be should move to except the county of Glamorgan from its operation. Mr. W;WILLIAM.S thought there was no more ne cessity for this Bill in South Wales than any other part of the kingdom. After a short discussion on the propriety of extending the Bill to England, Sir G. TYLER rose to move that the House should go into Committee that day six months. Viscount EMLYN said that as the Government Bill was not likely to be introduced at any early period, and as far as his experience went, it was evident that no time could be fixed for any Bill of any kind, he had therefore determined to introduce his own Bill. —(Hear.) He had at first intended to bring forward a general Bill, or some one which would load to a general Bill. His regard had been especially directed to the dis trict of South Wales, which was especially deficient in the means by which a freedom of highways could he carried out. He should, therefore, persevere to a divi sion, and he hoped that the House would be with him. Mr. C. LEWIS said that, although he objected to many of the details, he did not object to the plan on which it was to be carried out. The details were incon sistent with the principles, and coneNnently no perma nent good could be eSected w'.,t l ;out a.,--eat alteration in the mode by which the provisiems of the Bill were to be carried out; however, he did not oppose the principle of the Bill, for he thought that it would be eminently bene ficial, but it might be still more serviceable if its advan tages were made more general. He should, therefore, reserve himself for the Committee. Mr. VIVIAN said that in his opinion the whole of the management had better be left to the county magis trates. The motion was negatived without a division. The House then resumed, when Mr. WILLIAMS said that the whole of the business ought to be borne in mind. It would greatly affect the Bill to which the Government had already given its sanction. Sir BENJAMIN HALL said that whatever the Hon. Member for Lambeth might say, there would at least be a great grievance inflicted upon the agricultural, and he might say upon every part of the community. After a few observations from Mr. C. LEWIS, Sir F. LEWIS expressed his opinion that this Bill, although defective in several points, was calculated to be of great public benefit. Lord EMLYN said that it would be cf benefit if the whole of the matter were to be referred to the Govern. moot. Mr. HUME said that he had repeatedly drawn the attention of the House to subject 3 of this nature, and the whole of his exertions had been mot with a put off. What ho wanted was a comprehensive measure. The fact was that the whole affair ought to be taken up by the Government. After a few words from several other Members, The 1101.13 e divided, when there appcared— For the motion Against it ••• ••• ••• ••• 8 Majority —5l The House having resumed, Mr. Hum: and Lord EMLYN made several observations on the sth clause, after which the clause was passed without a division. The remaining clauses were then agreed to, and the report was ordered to he brought up this day w...ek. LODGING-HOUSES BILL. This Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed this day week. FARM BUILDINGS BILL. Mr. B. COCHRANE moved the second reading ce this Bill, the object of which was to enable proprietors of land to borrow money fur the erection of farm buildings. Mr. TRELAWNY considered that the Bill would have an injurious tendency. After a few observations from Mr. MULLINGS, Mr. HUME said he objected to the proposal that landed proprietors should be enabled to borrow money under the previsions of the Bill without paying the stamp duty; if they were to be relieved of this duty the exception ought to extend to other classes. He thought the measure would have the effect of doing a great in justice to successors to estates by placing additional burdens upon them. Mr. MILES opposed the Bill. The House then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... 66 Against it ... 25 Majority --41 SUNDAY TItADING PREVENTION BILL. Petitions against the Bill were presented by Mr. ,WAKLEY and Mr. BARING WAtL. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the House go into Committee upon the Bill. Mr. ANSTEY opposed the motion. He had been on the Committee which had sat en the Bill, and ho was 'sorry to say that he could not congratulate the Com mittee on its handiwork. The Bill was, in fact, the result of a mixture of Sabbatical fanaticism, and a desire on the part of shopkeepers in certain dis tricts to crush the efforts of their poorer brethren. There was an exception made in the Bill with regard to milk and cream, which was allowed to be sold on Sun days before ten in the morning and after one in the after ;loon; and he should like to know why greater regard was to be shown to the soul of the fishmonger than the out of the milkman. Club-houses were exempted en tirely from the operation of the Bill, as were also pub licans. These were only some of the inconsistencies of the Bill. But the must tyrannical and objectionable lause of the Bill was the 7th, which gave a judicial power to policemen to decide, on their own discretion, whether a party had committed an offence under the in tended Act, and to seiz3 the whole property of some miserable hawker or dealer, which might happen to be of a very perishable nature. It was true that a magistrate had 'the power after wards of, restoring the property, bat in the mean time it might become worthless. The statement in the pre amble, that legislation on this sebject was necessary, was altogether unfounded. In all'the principal districts of the metropolis Sunday trading had considerably de- Creased, or remained stationary. There had been no in crease in the borough of Lambeth, which was repre isented by the proposer of the Bill. Sunday trading, however, was carried on somewhat largely by persons of the Jewish persuasion, who had a Sabbath and holidays of their own. Their Sabbath, last, and other days, which they most religiously observed and on which they abstained from labour, amounted altogether to sixty-six days in the year, and the effect of the Bill would be to compel them to make fifty-two more holi days; in fact, to withdraw from them, altogether, four calendar months out of the twelve. The Honourable Member for Darnbeth had said that the Bill was as much his (Mr. Anstey's) as his own; he wished he would adhere to that statement, and allow him (Mr. Anstey) to withdraw the Bill; in that case the House would never hearer it again.— (Laughter.) If he were defeated on the present occasion he should Oppose it in every stage of it s future progress. The on. Member conclude d b y moving th a t t h e Bill go i nto Committee on this day six months. • Mr. BARING WALL hoped that the Hon. Member for Lambeth did not beriously intend to go into Com mittee to-day. If the Bill went into Committee he should move that it should be made a general instead of a local measure. He depre cated that sort of bastard le g islation which W iled to particular d istric ts , and prevented the people knowing under what law they lived. The next amendment he should propose would have re ference to the times mentioned in the Bill for the sale of articles. There were many other amendments which he intended to make, in order to remove the anomalies in the Bill. He concluded by seconding the amendment. Mr. LEONARD moved that the debate be adjourned. Mr. ANSTEY seconded the motion. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but on our return we found that it had been agreed to adjourn the debate until this day fortnight. CORONERS' BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a second time, Mr. FITZROY recommended that the Bill should be postponed until the country was made acquainted with its provisions. Mr. ESTCOUR e agreed to postpone the Bill, and 'the motion for the second reading was withdrawn. The other orders of the day having been disposed; of, House adjourned shortly before Six o'clock. IV.

MINC I IESTER.---The Baltic arrived in the Mersey last night, with advices showing a further decline of i to , i o f a cent per l b. in the p rice of cotton at New York. A telegraphic announcement from New Orleans shows that a quarter of a cent had been lost there from the 6th to the 9th of April, bUt was regained by the 12th, through the influence of improved accounts received 'by the Africa from this ' country. Some of the other southern markets had, undergone a similar variation. From the New York list, dated April 16, we take the fol lowing particulars of increa se as compared with 181.5 : Bales. Total increase of receipts at p orts ... ... 171,926 Week's increase ... ... ." ••• ••• 8,530 Total increase of exports to Great Britain ... 183,287 Week's increase ... ..• ••• ••• ••• 18 605 Increase of stock at the ports •.. ••• ••• 4,923 Increase of stock in interior towns ..• ... 28 330 But, as only a portion of the week's receipts at New Or leans had been reported, the total excess was estimated at 180,000 bales. This ,was expected to reach 200,000 bales, and then a gradual decrease is looked for. As these accounts are taken to be more decisively indicative than the preceding ones of a progress to a lower level of prices, we have experienced nn increased depression in every de partment of our market to-day. Goods have not been saleable, except at lower prices in general than those of last week; the buyers have held decidedly aloof from busi neas, and very little has been done. The medium and lower numbers of yarn have given way ftbou; id. per-lb. in bundles, and d. to id. in warps and cops. Spinners have effected only an inconsiderable amount of sales; they have, however, in various instances, declined offers of very fair extent, from Continental and India merchants, because of a difference not exceeding *d. per lb. As might be expected, great irregularity is found in the quotations for yarns and goods. It becomes mere evi dent that the production of printing cloths, long cloths, T cloths, and domestics is in the course of diminution. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—The Flannel market has been dull, and a limited amount of business has been trans acted to-day, at prices much the same as those of the preceding week. Wool has undergone no change in price, but the dealers complain of having very little to do. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for manu factured goods has not undergone any improvement since our last; the recent reductions in the prices of raw and thrown silks having produced a decidedly. prejudicial effect with buyers. In thrown transac tions aro somewhat rare, notwithstanding that prices have been somewhat reduced to a standard compatible with those of the raw material. This may probably be attributed in part to the approach of the new silk crop on the continent, which, as it may prove favourable or otherwise, will undoubtedly exercise a great degree of influence for the time being. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—To-clay we have had an average market; a fair business has been done in the hall, though not so much as is expected generally at this time of the year. Mixtures and black doeskins have been most in request in the plain woollen market. The fancy trade continues pretty brisk, and a fair business has been done in the vesting branch to order, for the home summer trade. Some of the export warehouses are pretty brisk with American o►ders, but generally the warehouses have not been ver: busy during the week. Yarns have been in rather bat,er demand. Not much has been done in the wool market to-day, and the ap proaching May sales, which are fixed for the 15th, will have some effect upon the trade at present. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The worsted trade is still in a languid condition, and presents no aspect of improve ment since our last report. The transactions in yarn are rather more numerous; and prices are firm, though they cannot be quoted higher. More wool has been changing bands; and the quotations, though not advancing, ex hibit greater firm❑ess. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There is no change to notice in the woollen trade since last week. The markets have been quiet, but a fair business continues to be done to order, and there is no alteration to notice in prices. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. (From Ucrapath's Railway Journal.) We bad an opportunity of inspecting the line of rail way from and including Bangor to Holyhead during the past week. Various subjects of interest presented themselves for our observation, and at all events it must be said that the new Chairman is making every effort to redeem the premiss he made to the shareholders at their meeting on the 18th of last month. The spot selected at Bangor for the erection of the weat hotel there mid-way between the " Menai" and the Britannia" bridges. A large " spoil bank" run out during the construction of the railway forms the actual site, and upon it is to be raised a building that will con tAn the enormous number of 300 beds in thefirs I instance, with suitable public breakfast, dinNg, and drawing rooms, and a proper proportion of sitting rooms for the use of such families as prefer taking their meals in private. One facade of the hotel, of which there wiil be three, will look towards the Straits and the Menai- bridge, another in a slanting direction towards the Bri. tannin-bridge, and the third directly towards this bridge and the Marquis of Anglesea's magnificent place " Plas m) wydd" on the Angleees or opposite side of the water. Mr. Reed, of Liverpool, is the architect, and everything is so planned that if the public require increased accom modation 200 more bedrooms can bo added by the con struction of two wings, one at the east end and the other at the west end of the building. It would occupy too much space to particularise the internal arrangements of this vast structure. We shall therefore only say that whilst they are based on the plan of the " Three Kings" at Basle, the " Giant" at Coblents, and the " Limb" at Vienna, the difference in the tastes and habits of Eng lishmen from continentalists has been fully considered and duly provided for. It is intended that it shall be ready for the reception of visitors in the spring of 1852. A Herculean task, though not more than can be accom plished by the powers that now preside ever this railway. The company is, fortunately for itself, the possessor of the whole of the land between the railway and the high road to the Straits—a distance of nearly half a mile. There is room on this land for a small town to spring up. It all slopes towards the water, so that crescents and terraces can be erected throughout its entire length, and every house would have a fine view of the bridges and the Straits. We were informed that important negotiation© on the subject of building are in progress, and almost brought to a satisfactory conclusion. During the construction of the railway and of the Britannia•bridge, Captain Moorsom, the then resident director, occupied a house on the left or mountain aide of the railway, to which are attached'3o acres of land, also the property of the company. As this land is on a still higher elevation than the ground we have just de scribed, it is intended to sell it in plots of from one to two acres for the erection of first-class detached villas—and a more charming spot could not be selected for such description of buildings. Its height affords a commanding prospect towards the Straits in every direction, and immediately at the back of this land are some of the most picturesque walks that can be conceived or depicted. As the present Bangor station is about a mile and a half from the New Hotel, a new station to be called the Junction Station, will be erected. This will accommo date not only the residents at the hotel, but will be equally convenient for the inhabitants of the villas and terraces to bo built on the other portions of the Com pany's property. The Carnarvon branch (progressing rapidly) will join the main line just opposite the hotel. Proceeding towards the Tubular Bridge we learned the arrangements for its inspection. The public wilt be taken through the tubes, under the control of company's servants, until a quarter of an hour before each train is due. They will not be allowed indiscriminately to walk across the outside of the tubes. The privilege is only to be obtained under special authority, but about twenty feet on each " land tube" is to be securely fenced off, and the public admitted thereon. This will enable them to see the structure just as effectively as if they were permitted to walk across. At Holyhead we have an example of what well-di rected energy will effect. The existing passenger sta tion of the railway is situated nearly a mile and a half from the pier at which passengers embark for and dis embark from Kingstown. They themselves and their luggage, as well as the mails and all par cels, have to be brought in omnibuses and other vehicles from one point to another. The harbour and pier branch at present in course of erection will remedy this defect. Although its construction in volves a cutting a third of a mile long, and from ten to fifteen feet deep, the demolition of eight or ten houses, the filling up and levelling of suffi cient space for the erection of the new station, and of the very complete refreshment rooms at tached to it, the hying down through the harbour of a timber viaduct, half-a-mile long, which is then continued on as a tramway at one side of the road to the packet pier, another' half a mile in extent, yet this harbour branch was only commenced four weeks ago, and it is to be ready for use by the 15th of May. From and after that date, the passengers landing from the steam packets will walk some thirty steps to the railway car• riages; their luggage, the mails, and parcels will be at once loaded, when the train will be drawn along the tramway and viaduct by horses to the station. At the refreshment rooms thole the passengers will find all that they require to soothe the inward or outward man, after the fatigues and the heart-rendings of the voyage. The lavatories will be provided with ample supplies of hot water and every other requisite for making a com fortable toilet; whilst the refreshment departments are to be presided over by one, who, in her way, is as great as the redoubted Soyer—the famous Mrs. Hib bort. We are surprised to learn that she deserts the great cradle of her fame—Wolverton—for the classic retirement of Holyhead harbour. Nevertheless, such is the fact; and we will only make ono aspiration on this change, which is, that her smiles may be as sweet, her handmaids as charming, and her pork pies as excellent as the trumpet of fame has proclaimed all three to have hitherto been. There are great expectations of the development of an extensive coal trade with Ireland, and ample provision for conducting it is provided in the harbour. If the Holyhead directors can compete successfully with the NV hitehaven coals now brought to Ireland, it will be a famous affair for their company, for the best house coals come from the neighbourhood cf Chester and will have to be convey ed the whole extent of the line. We are inclined to think that the gallant manager of the London and North-Western Railway is not far from the mark when be says that there is no more profitable trade than ooals atid.apnedr with load exclusive of waggons for long r uns, from 180 to 200 tons. If the Holyhead Company intend to have a large coal traffic they must not look for a higher rate. As the harbour to ho selected for the American packets to start from and to arrive at is now tahlue at question of °1 interest with nut t h h o e public,out o f p a few a 00. wields: ugreatpon b rea k wa ter, first running. no rth and south, and thin yll e will running east and west, is just one-third finished, that is, it now extends 1,800 feet into the sea, and 3,600 feet have yet to be coubtructod. It proceeds at the rate of about 43 feet a week, and, taking all contingencies into consideration, Mr. Rendell, the engineer, coneiders it will be finished in two years. The greatest depth of this breakwater will be 43 feet, its average depth is 35 feet. It will be 65 feet wide at the level of high water, and 35 feet at its upper surface, which will be 15 feet above high wate r level —spring ti des. Whoa the w hole harbour is com pleted, it will compr ise within it 300 acres of holding gr ound, , with six fathoms depth of water a t th e l owest spring tides. FORTH AID CLYDE NAVIGATION.—The report by the Governor and Council to the company of proprietors of the Forth and Clyde Navigation, recommends the continu ance of a dividend at the rate of VA per cent. per annum, less the income-tax. ANNIVERSARIES. The custom of holding anniversary festivals seems to he going out of fashion, like many other old were Wew, however, can have forgotten that one of the days of the past week—Wednesday, the 23d or April—was a day to be held in peculiar honour in I:ngland, as the anniversary of the (reputed) birth day of Sleikapere. Ceriees that that day should also be St. George's Day ! The Society of Antiquaries met to eject their cfilce-bearers for the ensuing year; ands,e dare say, the fact that it was Shaksrere's birthday was not forgotten among the toasts at their dinner. At other meetings, also, in many parts of the country, the circumstance must have been remembered, as well as thee on tho same day lust year, Wordsworth died. Cant mingles with all things —and most dreadfully of all with di nner speec h es; but we like the fashion o.keepin g ann i v ersaries. By-the-by, talking of birtl!days, does anything in the charae.cr and genius of a man depend on the month in which he was born? Is there any si g _ nificance in the • •feet that Shakspere's first in fant "szs ca the world and on Warwickshire happened in the " 'sweet and showery " spring month? We don't know; bat it would be difficult inductively to make any thing out on the point. Burns was born in January; Milton in December; Goethe and Napoleon in Au gust; Wellington in May; Cromwell—a very different kind of person from Shalespere—almost on the same day in April as Shakspere; in fact, all sorts of men have been born in all sorts of months. Yet a deep fellow Might make something of the subject; and we advise some deep fellow to do so.—Leader. HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The official report says:—The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts in the week ending last Sa turday were 1,075. The mortality, which was of unusual amount throughout March, but in the subse quent three weeks of April showed a disposition to de cline, again exhibits a considerable excess above what is usually experienced at this period of the year. Last week was the seventeenth of the year; taking the same Week in each of the 10 years 1841-50, it appears that the deaths did not rise in any instance so high as in lhst week; that in 1849 they rose to 1,058, but in most cases scarcely exceeded 900. The average of the 10 corresponding weeks was 904, which, if corrected for assumed increase of population, becomes 986. Above this estimated result there was an increase lest week amounting to 89. Compared with that of the preceding week, when the deaths were 995, the present return exhibits an increase in the zymotic or epidemic, and the tubercular classes of fetal diseases, and in those diseases which affect the res piratory organs. The zymotic class numbered 217 deaths in the previous week, and has now risen to 232; the difference arising almost exclusively from measles, which has nearly doubled its number of cases within the fortnight. This complaint carried off 67 children last week, scrirlatina 10, smallpox 8 children and an adult. Typhus was fatal in 32 cases, diarrhea, in 21, influenza in 7, and hoopingeeough in 66. Considerably more than the usual number of children are still dying from this last-mentioued complaint, which at this period of the year does not generally exceed 43 in its weekly measure of fatality.
