Mr. Robins has only to suggest by way of conclusion, to all those who agree with him that land is the staple commodity upon which to rely, to bear in their remembrance the never.to-be.for-gotten • DECLARATION OF OUR FIRST MINISTER, last session, to this effect : 11 and 3. nonce That a GENERAL COURT will be held at the Bank on Thurs day, the 13th instant, at Eleven o'clock in the forenoon, to consider of a DIVIDEND ; and also that another General Court will be held at the Bank on Tuesday, the 15th of April next, from ten o'clock in the for( noon till four in the afternoon, for the Election of a Governor and Deputy-Governor for the year ensuing (which will be declared that evening) ; and the same Court will be continued by adjourn ment, and held at the same place, and during the same hours, on Wednesday, the 16th of April next, for the Election of Twenty-four Directors (which will also be one of the Quarterly General Courts appointed by the Charter), and the Election of the Twenty-four Dl rectors will be declared as soon as the scrutiny is over.

Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed, 4th March, 1645. "With respect to the London and Norwich Direct Railway scheme, an inspection of the map will show that it does not fully accommo date even the thinly-peopled district through which it passes. It goes through Bury, but the convenience of the smaller towns between Bury and Stansted is sacrificed to obtain a short line. We are con vinced that the through-traffic will not, in this case, be sufficient to maintain the railway ; and we believe that both the through and local traffic must be called into action to ensure a moderate return on No. 10,.

Matthew Eizielli, Esq., 62, King William-street, London. The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern ment to lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all ffir ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount necessary for this purpose. In conformity with the terms of sub scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering to the Shareholders Two Now Shares for every Old Share, sub ject to all the liabilities ofincrease or diminution hereafter, as in the former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found necessary. All Shareholders who may wish to avail themselves of this option are requested to apply at the office, and to produce the original receipts, between Tuesday, 11th, and Saturday, 22d inst. Notice is hereby given, that all parties not applying within the pre scribed time will be considered to have waived their claim to the ad ditional shares, which will be otherwise appropriated. the outlay. "It is necessary, in this part of our report, to adverfto a railway called The Chelmsford and Bury Railway,' projected but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that in tended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost; there is a strong local feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which have been received by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree. Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelms ford and Bury, who aro of opinion, that if the direct line be sane• tioned by Parliament, they will be debarred from all chance of being at a future time placed on a line of railway ; moreover, its promoters alle.:e that even as to distance, it gives as short a communication to London from Bury as does the London and Norwich direct line. However, while speaking thus of the Bury and Chelmsford scheme, we must guard ourselves against implying that we have formed an opinion on its merits or demerits, or to whether or not it is required by the district. We now only advert to the scheme in order to show that, supposing a direct and short line of railway between Bury and London were required, a line alleged to be as direct and as short may be formed, which, at the same time, will accommodate a more extensive population. And, further, that as the London and Nor wich direct line traverses a district but thinly inhabited ; that as it does not even afford the best accommodation to this district ; that as the traffic which might come upon it, supposing the Ipswich and Norwich extension line were made would not be sufficient to support it ; and that even if it were required, an equally, if not more useful line might be found, we are of opinion that there are public reasons which ought to be decisive against it." G RESHAM AVENUE ASSOCIATION, 30, Bucklersbury, March 10, 1845. At a SPECIAL MEETING of the PROVISIONAL COMMIT TEE, held this day, it was resolved That, being advised that serious objections are likely to be raised in Parliament against that part of the scheme of the Association re lating to Life Assurance, as involving the principle of a Tontine, the Committee, therefore, deem it expedient to abandon that part of their ortginat - plan for raising the capital of the Association. That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each, not subject to a contingency upon life, and that the profits of the Association be divided annually. That those subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 24th inst., re ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before that day. That applications for the unappropriated shares will be received until Monday, the 24th March inst., when the same will be forth with allotted.

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of England, traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. Ey whichmeans the connexion between the East and West Coasts of England will be complete. A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will most materially aid communication between the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a most desirable object in a Rational point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that few Railways in the kingdom will form aim edium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, poplous, and important places. By it, Salisbury, Sberborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitchurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, 31ilborne Port, Stalbridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to ho traversed will, as has been ascertained ftom ac tual surreys, admit of the construction of the -Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles proposed to be used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, 'making the entire length of the line yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

Post, of Monday last, and we have great satisfaction in giving them a place in our columns, as the first reflects great credit on Mr. George Robins, the celebrated auctioneer, for the warm interest be has taken in the cause of James Carnie ; and the second contains the character of an excellent specimen of that singular and clannish race known by the designation of Newhaven fishermen, from the pen of their kind pastor, the Rev. James Fairbairn, minister of Newhaven. The reason advanced by the worthy clergyman to overcome the scruples ofJames Carnie, and induce him to agree to accept a reward for performing a good action, affords evidence that he is ad mirably adapted for the duty he has undertaken for the re• ligious and moral welfare of the original class of society amongst whom he is located. We trust the object so praise worthily entered upon from the best of motives by Mr. George Robins, and so ably seconded by the Rev. James Fairbairn, will be responded to on this side the Tweed, and that a handsome sum will be raised to present a purse to James Carnie, and some tangible memorial to descend as an heirloom in his respected family. Those only who are ac quainted with the character of Newhave mn c n 'fisherean form any idea of the value of a gift to any of the members of their body for a good action, and the veneration in which a piece of silver plate, presented to one of them, would be held by the whole patriarchal and interesting race—so well known to all who have visited Edinburgh, the clean and picturesque dress of their wives and daughters rendering them objects of interest to strangers in the metropolis of Scotland." P.S. We omit the letters, because we have already inserted them ten days since. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDA Y. CHESTER CUP. There was a slight improvement in the betting on this race, but no striking change in the quotations. We need only observe, therefore, that Cataract and Semiseria were in fair demand, and so nearly level that two sovereigns were taken for the choice of the horse in an even bet of four hun dred pounds. The Era was also in favour, and Obscurity, albeit 22 to 1 was offered agst in one quarter, ave raged 18 to 1 until near the doe, and was finally backed for a small sum at 16 to 1. Zanoni and Winesour were not in request, and of the newly-made favourite Yheo mun-ac-Knuck, nothing was said to fix a price. The mar ket prices at the break-up were as follows:- 8 to 1 apt the three yrs old 11 to 1 agst Mr. W. Scott's Cataract 12 to 1 agst Mr. Jaques's Semiseria 15 to 1 agst Mr. A. Johnson's The Era 16 to 1 agst Obscurity 25 to 1 agst Mr. Parry's Zanoni—taken 25 to 1 agst Mr. Bell's Winesour 25 to 1 agst Mr. Gully's St. Lawrence 33 to 1 agst Mr. Meiklam's Trueboy 33 to 1 agst Lord G.

The odds quoted against Forth's lot, Alarm, Ides, Cobweb colt, Kedger, Weatherbit, Old England, Mentor, Annandale, and the extreme outsiders were tasen in various amounts, and in every instance offered subsequently. In the cases of Clear-the-Way and Pantasa, the backers would have gone on ; the investments were not on an extensive scale. Closing prices : 11 to 1 agst Forth's lot 10 to 1 apt Mr. Greville's Alarm 15 to 1 agst Lord Stradbroke's Idea 15 to 1 agst Col. Anson's Kedger 16 to 1 agst Col.

Yesterday George May, shopman to the late Mr. Mon tague, who, it will be recollected, had, with Mrs. Montagne, been poisoned at Camberwell on the 11th of last month, was Placed in the felons' dock, before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth olice -court, on the following charge, as entered inthe police sheet :—" For feloniously appropriating to his own use various sums of money received by him for and on account of his late master ; also with forging the name of the deceased to various receipts in the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell." Mr. Dodd, the vestry-clerk of Camberwell, attended to prosecute on behalf of the heir-at-law to the late Mr. Montague ; and Mr. Humphries appeared on behalf of the Mr. Dodd briefly alluded to the melancholy circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoner, and said that since the mysterious death of Mr. and Mrs. Montague, their books and accounts bad been examined, and it was found that the prisoner, who had been their shopman and confiden tial servant, had received various sums of money on account of his master, of which he had made no entry in the books kept for that purpose ; and coupling this fact with the in formation which had been obtained from the customers them selves, the nephew of Mr. Montague, who is next of kin, deemed it advisable to give him into custody on the charge of embezzlement and forgery. Evidence was then adduced as to certain declarations of the prisoner to police-inspector Campbell, with respect to the accounts, and of the receipt of moneys, of which no entry had been made. Mr. Humphries observed that en the inquest holden after the melancholy - affair, on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Mon tague, the prisoner had been examined for hours, and, though not upon oath, his deposition had been taken down touching these very accounts, with the greatest minuteness. He com plained that it was an indirect attempt to connect the pri soner with a charge of murder. '" Mr. lIENRY said he had nothing to do with such irregu larities, and that he should countenance no more inferential imputations. He was of opinion, however, that there were grounds for remand, and he asked what was the total amount of the alleged embezzlement ? • Mr. Dodd replied from 501. to 100 L, and added that he would be able to show on a future occasion that the prisoner had represented himself on many occasions as the nephew of the deceased. The prisoner was remanded to a future day, and Mr. Henry consented to take good bail for his appearance. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. A meeting of shareholders in the above line was held yes terday, at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, under rather singular circumstances. On Friday last, an adver tisement appeared in a morning paper, calling a meeting of shareholders at the above house to take into consideration the condition of the company in consequence of the peculiar difficulties in which it was unexpectedly placed, and on Saturday another advertisement appeared, signed by the secretary, denouncing the former notice as a stock-jobbing hoax, and stating that the company were in no difficulties, the Bill having been read a first time and standing for a second reading on Monday. Yesterday morning Alderman Vickers (of Sheffield), the projector of the line, issued a cir cuter, calling on the shareholders to asseinble at the ap pointed place, as "it is expedient either to drive the oppo nents of the line into the pit they have dug for the promoters, or, if they do not attend, to place such a resolution before the public as will show this line to be beyond a doubt of first rate public and private value." At two o'clock, there being about twenty shareholders present, E. S. Kennedy, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. VicKEtts said, on Friday last his attention was called to the advertisement convening this meeting, and he hastened to the solicitors of the line, begging them not to contradict it, but 'to let it take place, and see if any one dared to come forward. He regretted that that course had not been fol lowed. On Saturday, he ascertained that no room had been engaged by their opponents, and therefore he engaged it himself, determined that, as the meeting had been called, it should take place. J. STAICIFORTII, Esq., solicitor to the Goole line, moved, and Mr.VicKEtts seconded, a resolution—" That this meeting express its strongest disapprobation of the unworthy means used by the anonymous writers of the advertisement to depre ciate the property of the shareholders in the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway b such calumnious and foul reports; and that they deem such conduct most disgraceful and ditionour able to the character of Englishmen ; and that this meet ing express their strong belief in the excellency of the pro jected railway, and recommend it to the continued support of the shareholders, and the favourable consideration of the public at large." The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. WALMISLEY then moved, and Captain Cousrxs, for merly harbour-master of London, seconded a resolution re commending the shareholders to support the extension lines, the Lincoln, Leeds, and York direct, and the Goole, Don caster, Manchester, and Sheffield Junction, as tending with this line to ensure the public a cheap supply of coals ; w hi ch was alscrcarried.
