In our publication of May last we ventured to give our own calculation of the probable dividend of the London and North-Western Company for the half year ending June 30, 1850, and the result ittowed that we were almost entirely correct in our views upon the subject. After a very careful consideration of the pro babili ties of the case, we have now to lay before our r vaders the figures which induce us to believe that the Dec. dividend will he 5 per cent., with a practical closing of the capital account, by taking in the whole of the debenture interest, and with a tolerably large surplus to carry over in addition : The traffic of the half-year ending Dec 31, 1849, was Interest on cash balances, rents, &c 19,058 Total And the net balance avilable for interest and dividend was £517,247 The increase of traffic in the current half-year has so far been at the average rate of 3,1701. per week, and we see no reason to doubt that thl same rate of increase will be maintained. Thus an additional gross earning of 82,1001. will appear in this, as compared with the corresponding half-year of 1849. The additional working expenses incurred to earn this sum of 82,1001. must, of course, so far be matter of estimate only ; but we believe they would be rather over than under stated at 26,0001. Thus the available balance at the end of the cur rent half-year bids fair to be—. Corresponding half. year Add Less 56,100 £573,347 Then the amount required at the end of the half year June, 1850, for dividend was 460,7601., and at the end of the current half-year it w ill be about 480,0001. Then the additional capital expenditure to be charged against revenue for the whole or a por tion of the half-year will be abcut 700,000/. (includ- 1 ing the Coventry and Nuneaton branch), or an addi tion to the charges of the current half-year of (say) about 14,0001. for interest. Then there is the Buckinghamshire guarantee. We do not know 'whether the directors can legally charge this to revenue till the whole of the lines are finished next year. But, as the Banbury branch has been open since May last, and the line to Islip, six miles from Oxford, since Ist October, it is clear that the amount of the guarantee, less the profits earned, ought to be reserved in some way as a liability of the present half-year. If it be so reserved it will amount to about as follows : Capital expended, 950,000/. at 4 per cent.... £38,000 Less profits, say ... ••• ••• 10,000 28,000 or £ 14, NO for the current half-year. All this will leave over, in the shape of interest upon expended capital, or uncompleted works, a sum , as against the half-year, of about 34,0001. only. Supposing this to be boldly charged at once to reve nue, although the lines are not opened, the half year's account will stand about thus : Net balance available as above ... ••• £573,347 Less dividend, at 5 per cent. .. £484,000 Interest (additional) 14,000 Bucks guarantee ... ... 14,000 Interest 34,000 542,000 £31,347 Less additional allowances for reproduction of rails, &c., say £5,000 Loss on Shropshire Union, say 5,000 10,000 £21,347 Probable balance over liabilities ... To add to present " rest" of 140,0001. This is extremely satisfactory ; and although there may be loss of revenue from the further development and opening of the Great Northern, and from the opening of the Birmingham and Oxford and other lines, still, with the Exhibition of 1851 in prospect, and the general prosperity of the country, there is no doubt that a 5 per cent. dividend will be maintained, with probably an ultimate increase in the rate of di vidend, provided always that the proprietors be con tent to keep to a conservative policy, and to accumu late their surplus earnings until all chances of com petition and warfare with other companies are passed by.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the adjourned inquest on the death of Jael Denny was resumed at the police station, Breotwood, before Mr. C. C. Lewis, the coroner. The extraordinary interest which the pro ceedings have excited was manifested by a densely crowded court-room, but every precaution had been taken to provide for the accommodation of those obliged to be present on business. Mr. Hawkins, of tne Home Circuit, attended as counsel for the accused, and Mr. Woodward as his solicitor ; his father, his uncle, and other relatives, were also in court, and, judging of them by their appearance, seemed to be very respectable people. A sister of the deceased girl and several other women were in attendance, and the former at one point in the proceedings sobbed aloud, and became hysterical. With this exception the in quiry was conducted in the midst of the most pro found silence, and without any disturbing incident, or any strong emotion being displayed. At those points se here the evidence told most heavily against the ac cused, or where the details given seemed most likely to make him spreadquail, a deeper stillness seemed to spread over the audience, and every eye was directed to him. Yet he stood it all with wonderful composure, and not for one moment did he evince the alarm which his situa tion must have caused him. His eye turned in an almost unembarrassed, though not careless manner, from point to point; his colour never changed, and his bearing, under circumstances so trying, was un affected and simple. Indeed, his face would puzzle most physiognomists, who might try to seek within it the ferocious traits of character which must mark the perpetrator of such a murder as that of Dodding burst. He has fair hair, a brilliant florid complexion, small delicate features, regular in their contour, and a general cast of countenance very expressive of mild ness and rustic innocence. His youthful appearance and good looks created a strong impression in his fa vour, and one hardly finds it possible, after minutely searching his face, to believe him guilty. Yet the facts detailed in evidence were, as the reader will per ceive, of a veryformiclable and . conclusive character, and the jury by their verdict have shown the weight which they attach to them. When Drory came in he shook hands with his father and uncle, but appeared far less agitated by the interview than either of them. His perfect self-possession throughout formed a remark able contrast to his almost feminine cast of counte nance. He is a little man, and, under ordinary cir cumstances, notwithstanding a smart, active figure, could hardly have had sufficient strength to overpower the murdered girl Denny, who was five feet nine inches in height, and a powerful, well-proportioned, and rather comely girl. The first witness called yesterday was George Nichols, of Southwell, a market-gardener, who said that he knew the deceased and the prisoner. On the Ist of October he went to the latter in a field where he was ploughing to give him a basket which he had lent to him the night before. The prisoner began the conversation by alluding to something which had taken place at More's sale, and he told the witness that on Sunday morning he had been to the deceased, who had certified that the child with which she was pregnant did not belong to him. He then added, " George, you will hear something very se rious of her some time, for she told me on Sunday morning that she would make away with herself." Witness replied, " I hope you don't think such a thing, Thomas," but the prisoner made no answer, that the witness recollected, except that the deceased told him so two or three times. The prisoner then said he did not know what he was about, to which witness answered that he did not think he did. The prisoner appeared confused. He had seen him with the deceased, and frequently conversed with him about her, especially about twelve months since, when their connexion first became known. The conversation on the Ist of October was about nine o'clock in the morning. Susan Turner, living at Brentwood, said that the deceased had come to reside at her house about the 24th of October, 1849, and remained there till the 11th of July last, during which time Thomas Drory used to call two or three times a week, until April, when his visits became less frequent. She had seen him there once or twice since April, but she could not say how often he came, as she was much from home. She had desired the prisoner to keep away, as she thought he would do the girl no good. She had heard the deceased say that the prisoner's friends did not like her, and therefore she concluded that he would not marry her. Inspector Coulson proved that he had taken a pair of smallclothes belonging to the prisoner to Dr. Tay lor, in order to have some spots which he found on them examined. They were those which Drory, by his own admisison, wore on Saturday night. Dr. Alfred Swaine Taylor, professor of chemistry and medical jurisprudence at Guy's Hospital, pre sented to the Coroner the following report, which was put in evidence :—" On the evening of Monday, Oc tober 14, I received at my house, in Cambridge-place, Regent's Park, from Superintendent Coulson, a pair of corduroy smallclothes, for the purpose of de terming whether certain stains seen upon them were or were not caused by blood. (1.) On the left side, at the upper part, and near the corner of the pocket-flap, about two inches below the waistband, there was a small red stain on the prominences of the cords, not penetrating the grooves. The spot was altogether about a quarter of an inch in diameter. When examined by a powerful magnifier, small dark red coagula, resembling hardened or clotted blood, and presenting the glistening and shining character of dried and clotted blood, were directly visible. Exa mined by a knife, under the magnifier, they were found to be firmly adhering to the fabric of the stuff, and to be locked up in it. To the best of my judg ment and belief this stain or spot has been caused by blood. From the stain being on the prominence and not in the grooves of the cords, it may have been pro duced by the superficial contact of some substance having blood upon it. (2.) On the middle of the front of the left thigh, about the centre, but in clining to the inside, there were two dark brown stains ; one had a somewhat oval shape, it was an inch in width, and rather more than an inch in length. The other, immediately below it, was an inch and inch wide. three quarters long, and about half an wide. The stain had penetrated through the stuff, and tinged the cotton on the inside. The stuff was about the eighth of an inch is thickness. No coagula or clots could be seen about these spots. They had a dull brown or red colour, and the grooves of the cords were more deeply tinged than the pro minences. They had diffused margins. The colour was unlike any stain except that arising from blood. My belief is, these stains were caused by blood, and I think from the appearance, that they had been wetted and wiped. (3.) Three inches from these stains, and in a line to the left of them, ther e w ere t w o other spots of smaller size, the larger about half an inch in diameter. In the centre of the upper one of these a small coagulum was observed under a mag nifier; the and lower 5 . the . surrounding colour was identical with that observed in No. 2; and hence, in my judgment, depen- T p h a e r dent on the same cause, the wetting of the smallclothes with similar blood. d on ( `.there e o f w t e h r e e e other g o f the stains clothes, of f a one well marked on the inside, and about six inches in length. Its greatest width at the lower part was about two inches. Like that described under No. 2, it had been apparently washed. (6.) About two inches and a half above the commencement of the preceding stain, and in the centre of the thigh, there was a small red stain, as if from fruit. This colour was quite different from that of the other stains described. (7.) At the upper and back part, on the left side, about seven inches from the waist band, there was a small irregular stain about a quarter of an inch in diameter. When examined under a good magnifier the fibre looked clotted and stiff, as if from a: dry coagulum of blood. There is a very small clot fixed in the groove of the chords. In my judgment this is caused by blood. (8.) Another small spot at the back o f t he left thigh, about 1-16th of an inch in diameter. (9.) At the back of the left leg, about 6 inches from the lower part of it, there were 10 spots irregular l y distributed and of irregular form, the largest being about a quar ter of an inch in diameter. Two of them were cut out and examined by a magnifier. In the centre of each spot small clots were perceived adhering to the cotton fibre and rendering it stiff. The clots bad the hard, shining appearance, presented by dry blood. They have been examined by two surgical friends in my presence, and it is our united opinionj they have been caused by blood. On the two spots advertedust f the to as cut out, the blcod bad clotte d on the fibre o cotton soon after it had come in contact with it, and I don't believe that any attempt bad b e en made to re move these small stains by washing or otherwise. The conclusions I draw fro m this examination are these :-1. The stains or spots referred t d o under 1, B i , 7, and 9 have been cau sed by . bloo . This s and - proved by the colour of the stain the pre sence of a clot in them ; and I should observe, with reference to this, that a great many sub stances will give a red c olour to clothing, as oxide of iron or fruit, but there is no substance except blood which produces a clot at the same time that it pro duces a stain. 2 . T he stains referred to under 2,4, 5, and 8, judging f rom their appearance, have been pr o duced by the sense cause. lice clots are not vi sible. 3. From t he fact of the clots being found in some of the stains, and hay ing a dark, shining appear ance, it is my opinion this blood must have come I from a living person, or one recently dead, and I ought perhaps to state further that when a person dies, on the cooling of the body the blood be gins to clot or coagulate. If blood comes from a body twelve or fifteen hours after death it does not form a clot on any surface on which it falls. I there fore infer, by finding the clot, that this blood must have come from a living person, or one recently dead. 4. The stains have been -produced by the application of blood from without, and not from the inside. In some there is a stain inside, but smaller from soak ing through. Professor Taylor then handed round and explained to the jury the appearance of the spots alrewly described by him as cut out from the small clothes. _ CORONE a—ln a case of death by strangulation would there be an escape of blood unless there was great violence used ? Professor Taylor—l think not. Great violence must have been used to cause an effusion of blood, more than could be used by the party himself, for he would become insensible before he could have put forth the power requisite. A slight compression of the trachea in a very few se conds causes insensibility. The CORONER—Is it usual, in your opinion, to find laceration of the neck when a person dies by human hands? Professor Taylor—No; I never knew such an instance. The CORONER—How long may a body retain heat after death ? Professor Taylor—l have known it the case in the trunk of the body for 30 or 40 hours after wards. The age, the kind of death, the quantity of clothing, must be considered, and those who in per fect health die a violent death retain beat in their bodies longer than others. The body of a person in the prime of life and vigour of health cools more slowly than that of an old or young person. If the body be covered with clothes it will take longer than the average period of cooling, which I should say is about fifteen or sixteen hours after death, when a per son judges by touching the skin on the outside. The inside warmth is much longer retained. A friend of mine found that a thermometer placed in the abdo men seven hours after death rose to 104 degrees, and this would be still more the case with a woman in the ninth month of her pregnancy, for that adds to the bulk of the body. The cooling of the body de pends on its mass, and in pregnancy there is a large quantity of blood flowing through the uterus. It is quite possible that a woman so advanced in pregnancy, and killed at half-past six o'clock, might be found warm at ten next morning, but a good deal depends on the clothing. The Foreman—How long do you think the blood has been on this clothing ? Professor Taylor—We have no means of judging the time. It might only be 24 hours, or it might be three or four weeks, for when the blood hardens it has the power of endurance. Examined by Mr. Hawkins—The extremities, I should say, become cold in three or four hours out of doors, or eight inside. The abdomen is the last point to become cold. The CORONER stated that he knew an instance where the body had been dead 24 hours, and was still so warns when the inquest was held that to satisfy the jury he had to send for a medical man to certify that life was extinct. A juryman—ls there any difference in the blood of an animal which a farmer is apt to get on his clothes, and that of a Christian ? Professor Taylor—None whatever. Charles Millington, a carpenter, saw the prisoner about eight o'clock on Saturday night in Brentwood. He had some eggs with him, and said he had just come to town, and was rather later than usual. The prisoner had been there once before in the course of the week, and witness's mother asked him to let her have some eggs, which Ibe said be would. Witness had seen the deceased once at last October fair, and on Saturday night he asked the prisoner if " the little one had come to town yet." He replied, " Not as he knew of." James Millington, the father of the last witness, and a carpenter in Brentwood, had also seen the pri soner on Saturday night, shortly after eight o'clock. The clock, which was three-quarters of an hour fast, struck nine at the time he was there. The prisoner pulled out his watch and said that by it the time was 20 minutes past eight. Mr. More said that the prisoner came to his house on Sunday morning between nine and ten o'clock. He did not then talk to him about the deceased, but some time before he told him he thought lee had com mitted himself with the girl, to which the prisoner re plied that he thought other young men had committed themselves with her as much as he. The CORONER said that Mr. Woodward bad found in Mr. Drory's house a pocket kandkerchief with a certain quantity of blood on it, which he now asked him to produce. Mr. Hawkins assured the coroner that there was no desire to,withhold anything, and that the handker chief referred to would at once be handed over if the coroner or jury expressed a wish on the subject. Mr. Woodward, who said that he had the handker chief in his strongbox, expressed himself in a similar sense ; and Captain M'Hardy, chief constable for the county, and Superintendent Coulson pressed that it should be given up at once. The jury intimated that they were already satisfied on that part of the inquiry; but, in accordance with a wish expressed by the Coroner, Mr. Woodward un dertook to hand it over to Professor Taylor. The CORONER then announced that the point in the evidence which turned on the rope found round the neck of the deceased girl corresponding with a piece discovered in the prisoner's box could not be estab lished. The evidence to be adduced having now been brought to a close, Mr. Hawkins gave it as his advice that the prisoner should maintain a strict silence, for he had had no opportunity of consulting with his legal advisers since his apprehension The prisoner, acting upon the opinion of his counsel, said nothing, and thereupon The CORONER proceeded to charge the jury, and said, that having gone through all the evidence that could then be furnished in reference to the death of Jael Denny, it became their duty to give the case their best attention, in order to determine by what means she came to her death. In doing so they must dismiss from their minds anything they had heard out of doors or read in the newspapers, being guided in the conclusion they came to by the evidence alone. The Learned Gentleman then recapitulated the cir cumstances of the case as proved before him, and pro ceeded to comment on the more important points es tablished by the depositions. The question before them, he said, was whether the strangulation was sui cidal or homicidal—the act and deed of the deceased herself, or done by another. As to the first suppo sition, he was quite satisfied that he need not trouble them. The evidence of Mr. Williams, confirmed by that of Dr. Taylor, and his own experience as a coroner, satisfied him and must convince them, from the extreme violence used, that the deceased had not perished by her own act and deed, but had been strangled lay some other. The question then arose—Was there evidence before them to charge any person with guilt? It was quite clear, and had been admitted on all sides, that there must have been an intimacy existing between Thomas Drory and the deceased. It was clear, also, that she was within a few days of her confinement, and that for some time he had supposed that she would father the child upon him. This was particularly evident from the pains he took to get a declaration from her that might enable him to satisfy the world that he was not the father. They were seen together between four and five o'clock on Saturday eveaing, after which she went home, and mentioned to her mother that she had an appointment again with him at half-past six o'clock. According to the statement of Hubbard, he left his house at that hour also, and it was for the jury to say whether be then went and met her at the stile. Nothing was heard of her from that period until ten minutes after eight o'clock. It would occupy him seven or eight minutes to walk from the place of meeting to where the body was found. The jury would remember that the deceased wore a shawl and a cloak, that she W 29 nearly nine months advanced in pregfancy, that it was impossible to suppose that she could make much resistance, and that if any man wished to strangle her, not more than seven or eight minutes would be re quired to do so. This would bring the time to seven o'clock ; and it appeared that the prisoner was seen at B ren twood about ten minutes past eight, for which there was ample time. When first taken into cus tody, Drory referred to the letter which had been produced in evidence , a nd which he said "would clear him." That showed that the woman and child were then bearing on his mind, and then they found him saying that he had been acquainted with her, but had broken it off nine months ago. That statement had been proved to be false by several witnesses. He did not say they were to judge a man by such unfounded assertions at a moment when he was charged with a crime so enormous, but still it was part of the evi dence, and ought not to escape their notice. The pri soner had never broken off the acquaintance. He had been in the habit of seeing the deceased till last April two or three times a week, and since then frequently. Then, with regard to the stains of blood on his smallclothes, when taken into custody he told Super intendent Coulson that these had been caused by some stuff which he had been giving to the calves, and in support of this an old pot was produced by him covered with cobwebs, and the state of which proved that nothing had been taken from it for some time. The falsehood of the statement was also established by the evidence of Professor Taylor, a gentleman whose testimony was entitled to the greatest weight, and who gave it as his opinion that the stains were caused by blood. Then, coming to another important point, the jury would remember how anxious Drury was to make it appear that the deceased contemplated suicide. They had it from the mother and father-in law that the poor girl had never hinted at self-de struction, or made any observation from which any thing of the kind could be inferred. On the contrary, it had been proved that she was desirous to get out of her trouble, and had provided for the child a change of everything, and had declared that she would earn a living for herself and it as soon as she had recovered from her confinement. Drory had stated that the girl's mother had asked him "If his razors were right," alluding to her daughter's intention to do away with herself, but the mother denied she had ever said anything of the kind. Again, he told Nichols that the deceased had several times to him threatened to destroy herself. The jury must take the evidence as it stood, and say for what . object Drory bad made these observations . An i n ference might be NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The Board of Admiralty named on Wednesday re turned to London that evening, from their Lordships' annual visit to Chatham and Sheerness; and yester day Sir F. Baring, Bart., left the Admiralty for Stratton Park. A Chatham correspondent says : The Board arrived from Sheerness in the Black Eagle steam-yacht, Master-Commander Cook, on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morning landed at the dockyard, and, accompanied by . Captain Superinten dent Richards, C. 8., and the principal officers of the establishment, proceeded to visit the dockyard, parti cularly the metal-mills, saw-mills, and smithery, after which the workmen were mustered in the presence of their Lordships on leaving the yard at noon, when their Lordships were pleased to grant the men a half holiday. Their Lordships took lunch at the Captain Superintendent's house, after which they proceeded in the Admiralty barge on board the Cumberland ordi nary guard-ship, where they were received with manned yards. Their Lordships mustered the officers and men of the ordinary, and after inspecting the Cumberland, came on shore at the Queen's-stairs, proceeded to the Marine Barracks, where they were engaged a considerable time inspecting the division, which was drawn up on the parade for that purpose. After the men were dismissed, their Lordships in spected the Royal Marine Barracks, and then pro ceeded to Melville Hospital, which having inspected, they returned to the dockyard, embarked in the Admiralty barge, and proceeded to the terminus at Stroud, and departed by train., DOCKYARD.--Mr. Cradock, one of the members of the late School of Naval Architecture, who has been an acting assistant to the master shipwright at Ports mouth, has now been formally appointed the junior master shipwright's assistant at Portsmouth, vice Mr. John P. 'Wallis, who has retired after three years and a few months' service at Portsmouth, having been promoted in May, 1847. It will be remembered that some reflections were made in the House of Commons on Mr. Wallis's promotion, when the Secretary of the Admiralty took upon himself to assert that Mr. Wallis was the most distinguished and experienced naval officer in the service. It is a pity that royal naval architecture has so soon lost the active services of so highly-talented an ornament, especially at the present moment, when it is represented as being in such a mediocre condition. Mr. Sheffield , the senior foreman of Chatham Dockyard (also one of the mem bers of the late School of Naval Architecture), has been appointed timber inspector at that dockyard, vice Clothier, superannuated. COMMODORE MARTIN'S SQUADRON.—By letters from Lisbon it appears that the squadron were in the Tagus awaiting the arrival of the Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., to proceed off the Western Islands to look for a gale of wind, to try whether the Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, would redeem her character. At this time of the year a gale need not be long looked for, when the designer of this frigate (the ex-surveyor of the navy) will be probably satisfied as to the ex pected redeeming point of this vessel. THE GROG QUESTION AND THE NEW SCALE or PAT.—It would appear from the readiness with which men have entered at Woolwich for the Wasp and Geyser steamers fitting out at that port, that the new regulations under which they enter the service are now more palatable than otherwise. Birkenhead, steam troop-ship, Master Commander Aylen, has been taken alongside the Pitch-house Jetty, at Portsmouth, and commissioned. A party of cfficers and men from the Blenheim are employed on board receiving provisions and stores for the use of the African squadron, it being understood that the freight-ship chartered for the purpose of conveying them to Ascension has been lost. The Birkenhead will be forthwith manned from the Blenheim and Excellent, and will be got ready with all possible dispatch, proceeding about Monday for Ascension, ;ouching. at Madeira for coals. The master of the Britannia, 120, ordinary guard- ship at Portsmouth, Mr. Penn, and party of seamen that navigated the Furious to Woolwich, returned to Portsmouth yesterday morning by railway, the Argus, steam -frigate, that they were to have taken back, not being ready. IVe hear the Furious, although very light, behaved well, and proved a good sea-boat. It may be remembered that when she sailed from Portsmouth it blew a hard gale of wind from the westward. Dauntless, screw steam-frigate, Captain Halsted, on Wednesday, when off Osborne, on going down through the Needles under steam, on her way to Queenstown, fired a salute in honour of the royal standard flying from the flag-staff on Osborne House. Captain Jones, R.N.,and Mr. F. P. (screw) Smith, have taken a trip in the Dauntless to Queenstown. Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, has bent sails, adjusted her compasses, and remains ready for service at Portsmouth. Peterel, 6, packet-brig, Lieutenant-Commander Creser. went out of Devonport Harbour on Wednes day afternoon, and sailed direct for Falmouth. Tyne, store-ship, Master-Commander Wellington, fitting at Devonport, had been new coppered, and has been taken out of dock. The Royal Albert, one of Mr. Green's Indiansen, arrived at Spithead on Wednesday, to embark stores and passengers for India. The coast guard stationed at Budleigh Salterton, under the orders of Lieut. Wm.

NEW MODE OF RAISING THE WIND. —A new mode of raising the wind has just been discovered, but frus trated in the instance which we are about to notice. "A. much-to-your-advantage" gentleman, resident in London, advertised a few weeks ago for the descendants of a family supposed to be located in Whitehaven or the neighbourhood, and if any of them were living, they might hear of some thing to their " great advantage" by applying to this adver tiser. The name was a common one in this town, and the treat advantage held out presently induced an application. The receipt of the application was duly acknowledged, but in'doing so theadvertiser thus speaks out :—"The particulars communicated are so far satisfactory; but as the claimants are so numerous, and the investigation of them will be at tended with large expense, it has been resolved that every person who wishes to get his or her claim ranked should pay one pound to meet, so far, the outlay made and to be made. On the receipt of a Post-office order for this sum, yo t was so ur claim will be ranked and attended to." The fair applican much pleased with her approaching good fortune that she made arrangements forthwith to forward the fee; but, before doing so, she apprised her legal adviser of what was going on.

THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. The following letter from President Roberts con tains particulars of the progress of the Republic of Liberia. The first paragraph relates to the projected experiments for the growth c.f . cotton : " Government-house, Monrovia, July 16. "Mr. Strand is still here, and I believe, from what observations he has been able to make, he is quite sanguine as to the success of his enterprise. lie is about commencing experimental operations on a tract of land which I have granted him for the purpose. Should he succeed to his wishes, then permanent ar rangements for as much lan,d as he may require will be entered into. "As yet, we have no fun information with respect to the success of the commissioners sent by this Go vernment six or eight we eks ago, to Gallinas, Cape Mount, and the Vey Coun try, to settle, if possible, the disputes and wars which for many years have ex isted among the tribes occupying those territories. I have noticed that several threatening disputes have been arranged, and in one instance, certainly, an ap peal to arms prevented. " The principal difficulty,it appears, now exists with the inhabitants of a large barricaded town in the rear of the Gallinas—many of whom were originally slaves to the Gallinas and other surrounding chiefs—who from time to time have es c aped and taken refuge there, and have hitherto foili!el every attempt which has been made to recover th em. And now by conti nual accession of such pers.)ns they have become so formidable as to defy the conibired forces of the chiefs, and have declared a war of e. r termination against their former masters. And so enraged are they against them, in consequence of former ill treatment, that they have not yet consented to accept the mediation of our commissioners. We hope, however, to be able soon to reconcile them—sw :h is the impression of the commissioners. Such as tle?oe and other difficulties are constantly arising among; the tribes around us, and to settle them gives us much trouble, as well as being exceedingly expensive to cur infant government — decidedly more so than our present resources really warrant, to keep commission . E rs continually travelling from place to place for that purpose. Still we cannot remain idle spectators and vt , f.thhold an effort to pre vent the shedding of blood r uld to avert incalculable sufferings, always the result cf African wars. " The slave trade is now el ffectually abolished from the additional territory latofy purchased by us with aid from London. We are doing all in our power to encourage and establish legi Cmate commerce, and, I am happy to be able to inform you, with considerable success. In the advertisement of Mr. Banks's new book, which appeared in The Sun of ' ruesday, it should have been " Staves for the Human Ladd.sr," by G. Linnceus Banks, and not " Staves of the Human Ladder," by G. Linnoceus Banks, as erroneously printed. We are happy to announce that the Rev. Henry Neville, of this city, has just bee n appointed to the chair of Logic and Metaphysics in Mayn c•oth College, vacant by the recent decease of the Professor B ehan. The various candi dates for this appointment had t.o undergo a " Concursus," or public examination, upon all - the most abstruse questions of theology and philosophy, whi.z,h continued throughout four days, and in which Mr. Neville .?..ninently distinguished him self. The result has been his e levation to the vacant chair, an academic distinction upon which, in common with his numerous friends in the south, we heartily congratulate the Rev. Gentleman.— Cork Exami,2er. Our hotels have had a capital run of business.

LANCASHIRE AND YOWLS HIRE RAILWAY. - The committee of associated share; toiders have issued a long ad dress to the proprietors in this , company, calling upon them to take steps for superseding the newly-appointed board of directors, and for a general reform in the management of affairs, upon the ground that the dividends have declined from eight to two per cent., and the value of the shares from 2001. to 40/. They state that the vote at the late gene ral meeting did not fairly represent the views of the proprie tors, as only one thousand of them voted out of a total of about five thousand. THE CAII,II3ILIDGE MOINHMENT.—The officers of the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers have each subscribed a day's pay to the Cambridge Monument Fund, which monu ment, it is proposed, will be a charitable institution of a most comprehensive kind. SALE OF Honses.—The exportation of horses tbis year from Ireland to England has been unparalleled for a number of years. Mr. Dawson sold a lot of i 7 first-class hunters to Mr. ?durray, of Manchester, for the enormous sum of 2,3001., a price for a " lot" from one dealer to another without precedent in this country.

He had drawn their attention to all the facts which be thought of importance in this terrible case. They would take them into their most serious consideration. If they were dissatisfied with the evidence implying guilt in any particular person they would return a verdict of murder against some person or persons unknown. If, however, on the other hand, they thought the evidence sufficiently brought home guilt to Thomas Drory, then they would find a verdict accordingly. In doing this they were only in the position of a grand jury, referring the case before them to the proper tribunal for its in vestigation and decision. The jury then retired, and the prisoner was with drawn at the same time. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour they returned into court, and amidst solemn silence, the foreman announced as their unanimous verdict—" That Thomas Drory was guilty of the wilful murder of Jael Denny." The prisoner was absent at this moment, not having come back to hear the decision of the jury pronounced. The CORONER. immediately placed an order for his committal in the hands of Superintendent Coulson, by whom Drory was last night conveyed to Chelms ford Gaol. £l9l 11 5 LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY.

RAILWAY ARCADB AT LONDON -BRIDGE.--A rail way arcade, similar to that of the Lowther arcade in the Strand, is being constructed by the South-Eastern Railway Company, on the left-hand side of the approach to their terminus, on the property in their possession abutting upon Tooley-street. The design is rather an elegant one, and consists of a succession' of ehope on either side for the sale of fancy and other articles in requisition by railway travellers, with a large refreshment room in the centre of the thorough fare which fronts the railway terminus. The building between 100 feet and 200 fee t in length, has its basement it; Tooley-street, from whence it rises upwards of 60 feet, divided into two stories of 39 feet each, the upper elevation forming the arcade, on a level with the railway, and the lower part in Tooley-street, forming e range of ordinary shops. There are rooms above the shops; and the floors throughout the building are fire-proof. The front is to be in the Italian style of architecture, and the building, upon which a large number of men have been at work for the last two months, is to be completed and open by Christmas.
