EXCHEQIJER.—(TH 17 5 DAY.) SWEARING IN OF THE LORD MAYOR. The Right Hon. John Johnsoe. the Lo:d Mayor elect of the City of London, attended this re,orning at the Court of Exchequer, accompanied by the Civic officers, in state, to take th e usua l oa th s on his entering upon, the duties of Chief M ag i s t ra t e o f th e Ci ty. The RECORDF:4 said-My Lord Chief Baron, I have the honour to present to your Lordship the Right H on . J o h n J o h nson, w h o has been chosen by the citizens of London to fill the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The laws, customs, a';id charter of . London have been duly observed in the election of this gentleman, and the most gracious approbation of her Majesty, signified by the Lord Chancellor, has ratified the choice. By the laws of our municipal constitution to be an alderman, and to have served the office of Sheriff of the City of London, are neeessary qualifications for our Chief Magistrate, and the very effective manner in which Mr. Johnson has fillett these duties was the main instrument of his present election; but it was his early and deeply honourable course in life which first attracted the attention of his fellow-citizens. Mr. Johnson was for. rnerly the lessee of the Dartmouth quarries, and he has executed many great national works in the construction of bridges, the formation and improvement of our dock.yards, and, ateve all, the erection of that effectual barrier against the fury of the seas, comprised in that stupendous structure, the breakwater of Ply. mouth. It would be at variance with the sincerity of Mr. John son's character to arrogate to himself the undivided merit of this noble, magnificent, and most useful undertaking. He rejoices to have acted under the guidance and to have been stimu lated by the example, genius, and great spirit of enterprise of the late Sir John Rennie. Mr. Johnson disclaims the praise of being the sole architect of his present ample fortune. He acknowledges with gratitude that its foundation was laid by the ability and integrity of his late respected father; but in raising on this foundation the superstructure, his efforts have been as honourable as their success has been complete. To avail himself of every oppor. tunity of public usefulness has been the leading principle of Mr. John. son's life. During his shrievalty the defective accommodation of our metropolitan prisons were, in a great measure, remedied by the im portant improvement effected by him, and for these and Other services he received the public thanks of his fellow.citizens, and a valuable piece of plate from the Corporation of lAnl on . A s a magistrate he has been exact and indefati ga-.", in his attendance to, and in the performance of, his dutieL, and he is now entering upon the new and arduousd :. .t tes of Lord Mayor impressed with an honourable a , - ...-tniflor , to fulfil them to the utmost of his powe , e'er its acquirement possesses the entire cess. He is confidence of his tcdow.oiriiene, no inconsiderable element of suc deToted in his loyalty to his Sovereign, warm in his attachmeat to use laws and constitution of his count*, entertains a zeitlous regard hue the interests of his feihnit.citizens, and is firm in his determination to support their tights, liberties, and privi leges, comprised in the various charters of the City of London. The late Lord Mayor is also in attendance upon your Lordships. His year of office ends to.day, with all its duties accomplished. He retires Into private life amidst the general satisfaction and esteem of his fellow-citizens. I believe he has ex hibited in the dispatch of his public business great zeal and impartiality. He has dispensed charities with a Inuntiful hand, been most hospitable to his felitehcitiaens, and in retiring from office with approbation, they hope he will still find an opportunity to exercise those duties end virtues in the capacity of a magistrate and a private gentleman. The LORD CHIEF Balm, having congratulated the Lent Me yo: on his election to office, and Mr. Alderman Gibbs oh the satisfac- tion he had given in the performance of his late civic duties, ad ministered the oath in the usual fbrrill and the late Lord Mayor, amidst a titter of laughter in It tlowded Court, was then called upon to render up an aCeOunt of his mayoralty. This having been gone through in the customary manner, the Lord Mayor in vited their Lordehi';,s to his banquet this evening, and then retired- UNITED STATES.

A busy week's work.— Union. COMMERCIAL. WEDNESDAY, P.M.—The news from Europe by the Great Britain continues to be highly important. Great importance is attached to the partial failure of the potato crop. Letters have been received from the continent, ordering potatoes to be shipped from here. Besides grain and sour, cheese has con tinued to go forward to England ever since the !all season cern menced in greater quantities than usual, and at higher prices.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEW SCHEMES. Last week was unusually unproductive of new railway pro jects. The following appear to be the few that have been ushered t', to the world in spite of the extreme pressure which .ha_s lately been perceptible on the money market : DIRECT WESTERN.—A public meeting of the inhabitan's of Wells, was held on Thursday, the Mayor presiding, for the purpose of taking into consideration the various lines of railway proposed fur the accommodation of that city and its neighbourhood. After the merits of the many competing schemes had been strongly advocated by their respective supporters, and considered by the meeting, it was resolved by a large majority, that the Direct Western Railway offered more advantages to that city and its neighbourhood, both as regarded local accomodation and communication with the metropolis, than any other line, and the meeting pledged themselves to give to that Company their fullest support and co-operation. WELSH SOUTH MIDLAND. The shares in the Welsh South Midland, or Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Glouces ter Junction Extension, were allotted on Saturday. The Committee state that they delayed issuing the letters of allotment in this undertaking, until they were perfectly satis fied that the surveys, &c., would be perfected in time to proceed with their Bill in the ensuing session. Mr. Gravatt, their engineer, had now assured them that the plans, sec tions, and books of reference, would be ready to be deposited according to the Standing Orders of Parliament by the 30th instant. GREAT KENT ATMOSPHERIC.—The Committee of Manage ment have issued a notice to the shareholders, informing them that in consequence of the non-receipt of letters of allotment within the time specified for payment, they have extended the time for paying the deposits until the 17th inst. Up to this date upwards of 100,0001. have been received.—Steam Times. FALMOUTILHFILSTeN, AND PENZANCE.—The surveys upon this line of railway are in a very forward state. The plans and sections will be duly deposited with the proper authori ties before the 30th instant, and every step will be taken to ensure an application in the eheiiing session of Parliament for an Act of Incorporation. The proof that this line is much needed is, that the Corporations of the towns through which it passes, and the entire of the landowners in its route, are in favour of the undertaking. At present all the immense productions of the mines and granite quarries are transmitted to the ports over the uneven turnpike roads in carts, thereby enhancing the price of articles in the public markets. This railway, when completed, will effect a great reduction in the cost of transit, and will enable new ground to be opened which at present is prevented being worked by the enormous charge for carriage.—Railway Herald. SOUTH WESTERN.—Henry Charles Lacy, Esq. (the pro moter of the Manchester, Southampton, and Poole Railway), has been invited to join the direction of the London and South Western Company, to which that gentleman Shaving assented, a resolution to that effect was passed at a full board ' of the London and South Western Directors, held at Nine elms on Fridsy REGENT'S C,ettAL,—The allotriient letters in this line were issued on Saterdttyy and contained an announcement which might be imitiated by other new Companies with credit to themselves and to the comfort of the pi.iblie, namely, " that the committee gharantet the rethrh of the deposit, less a sum not extetding 7s. 6d. per share, "hould the application to Parliament not succeed in the ensuing session. " —Railway Examiner. The Whitby, Pickering, and Great Netth of England Junction have resolved on throwing oil a branch from the main litte at Molten.

The present route from Brad ford to York, via Leeds, is about 45 miles, and by the pro posed line the dist ance w ill b e a b out 33 miles, thus reducing the distance 12 miles. The project, it is said, interferes with no vested interests. Messrs. Butterfield and Piccup, of Brad ford, are the solicit ors o f th e C ompany.. 'MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON EXTENSION,—The Ob • ject of this railway is to afford local accommodation to the large population lying between Dreitwich, Stourbridge, and Wol verliampton, and at the same time to improve the chain of direct communications between Blanchester, Salisbury and Poole on the one hand, and between Manchester and south, ampton on the other. The line will commence by a junction with the Birmingham . and Gloucest e r Rail wa y, near Droft wick, and passing by the Salt Works' at that place, and through or beam tano of Bronogroye fuel •gtotahridge; .'r ~:ai...~ :-i....-.-> - • - I will fall into the intended grand contr a ! s t a ti on a t Wolver hampton, whence run connecting lines with all parts of the kingdom.

By the former access is obtained in the shortest time to Nee - ark, Grantham, Nottingham, Peterborough, and London ; and by the latter, the most direct road is secured from Leeds and the neighbourhood to Gaineborough, Lincoln, Horncastle, Spilsby, Wainfleet ) Boston, Spalding, &c. It will accommo date not only its own locality, but will also reduce the dis tance between Leeds and the metropolis from 205 to about 180 miles, or a saving of 25 miles. The distance between Lond , ;,•il and the other great seats of the woollen trade, Dews lortry, Bradford, Huddersfield, &c., will also be lessened full 30 miles in each instance. Capital 500,000/., ill 2,500 shares. SHOREHAM AND CHICHESTER.—The line from Shoreham to Chichester is rapidly approaching completion. The rails are laid down to within half a mile of the city, and a number of stonemasons are busily employed in the works fur the ter minus and other parts of the line. Blifs'rof, AND Ex - M1.12 RAILWAY COMPANY.—From an ac cidental omission in our report of the proceedings of this Company at Bristol, on Friday, a slight confusion appears in the reading. The last sentence should have run thus—" The motion for the non-confirmation of the agreement was carried by an overwhelming majority." SOUTII-EAsTERN.—We understand that the Directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company have resolved to place at the option of the Postmaster-General the opportunity of sending mail bags, by every one of their trains, without making any additional charge for the facilities given.— Railway Standard. EASTERN COUNTIES.—Mr. Bulkeley has resigned the Se cretaryship of the Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. Bulkeley's courteous mariners had deservedly secured for him a " host of friends."—Railway R ecor d. NEW LINES ABANDONED.—Amongst the railway com panies which have notified the absolute or temporary aban donment of their undertaking are the following:-Direct London and Manchester, vid Bedford, Railway Company; the Stourbridge, Dudley, and Birmingham Railway Company; the Salisbury and Dorchester Railway Company, and the Torquay and Newton Abbot Railway Company.— The Share holder. SCOTCH LINES. Eprienunerne . WEDNESDAY.—An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Caledonian Company was held within Gibbs's Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, this day, Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said, ftom the nature of the country in which some of the heaviest works of the Caledonian occur, considerable time has necessarily been required in order to provide accommodation for the workmen, but for some weeks past 2,500 men have been employed, and at an early period a large addition will be made to this number. The Directors have also been much engaged in effecting settlements with the landowners along the line. They have accomplished _this in a great many cases, and they feel justified in stating that they see no reason to anticipate any difficulty in bringing the whole of these negotiations to a conclusion, or to fear that the works will not be finished within the time originally an nounced.—(Applause.) The Directors have been, and still are, engaged in negotiations with other companies; and they hare hopes of bringing most, if not the whole of these, to a satisfactory issue. —(Cheers.) You have heard of the union which has just taken place between the London and Bir mingham and Grand Junction Companies, and know that now, substantially, the whole line from London to Carlisle will be under one powerful body.—(Applause.) The Cale donian Company have hitherto been always cordially sup ported by the Grand Junction Company. With a view to a still more intimate connexion, I am happy to announce that an arrangement has been made, by which, as soon as pos sible, an honourable friend, of high standing, now a director in these united Companies, will take his place as one of the Directors at the Caledonian Board. As a general principle, I feel that the progress of railway enterprise has been too rapid. (Hear, hear.) But good may come out of seeming evil; and I shall not regret it if the result shall be to induce Govern ment to take a comprehensive view of the whole railway question, and lay down some sound principles to guide our railway legislation in future.—(Applause.) Meanwhile, with every one moving around us, we cannot stand still. We have given the best consideration in our power to various proposals that were submitted to us, and the result is that we have come to the conclusion that the schemes which we now bring before you will materially tend to the advantage of this Company. The SECRETARY then read the following report :—" The time having arrived when it becomes necessary to make preparations for bringing before Parliament, in the ensuing se: sion, such additional works or projects as the company may think expedient, the directors called the present meet ing for the purpose of determining upon them as notified, and with that vieese they beg leave to offer such an ex planation of each object as appears necessary to its being sufficiently understood. With respect to the first two, the acquisition of the Garnkirk Railway and the Clydesdale Junction Railway, these lines hate been always regarded as :the best modes of access of this railway to Glasgow, the former on the north and the latter on the south side of the river Clyde, which divides that city, and also as the means of connecting the Caledonian Rail way with the projected Dumbartonshire and West High land lines, and with the various existing and projected railways in Renfrewshire and Ayrshire; and the direc tors feel assured that the terms upon which they have been acquired, and Which are detailed in the agreements now laid before the meeting, are such as will be profitable to the Company, even although they were viewed merely as separate investments, without reference to their utility as essential communications for the through traffic of this rail way. The objects embraced under the third head am— t. A deviation of the main line at Carlisle. This is for the purpose of reaching a joint station, which has been fixed upon by the Lancaster and Carlisle Company and* the Newcastle and Carlisle Company, as being in a very superior situation to that which was originally con templated, 2. Branches from Dumfries to the main line northwards and southwards, with a subsidiary branch to the port of Annan. These were suggested by the Committee of the House of Commons last session as necessary portions of the Caledonian system. 3. A branch from the main line to Langholm, which would have a considerable traffic in minerals. 4. Branches from the Edinburgh branch to Granton and Leith, and to Queensferry and the Union Canal. The importance of the two former branches, for communication with the shipping of the Forth, is obvious, but if satisfactory arrangements could be made, that communication might be sufficiently attained by means of a junction with the Edinburgh' and Glasgow Railway, and thereby with the existing Leith and Granton Railway. The brands to Queensferry will supply an advantageous connexion with the Edinburgh and Perth Railway. The branch to the Union Canal will be only about 200 yards in length, and is expected to command a consider able traffic. 5,6, and 7. Branches from, and improve ments upon, the Pollox and Govan Railway. One of these branches is intended to lead, by means of a bridge across the Clyde, to 'the principal passenger station in the centre of Glasgow, which will be one of the.best in the kingdom in every respect. The others are intended to improve the connexions with the harbour, and with the other railways on the south side of Glasgow, and to afford to those rail ways an access to the passenger station above referred to. 8. A branch from the Castlecarry branch of this railway to the Garnkirk Railway, to shortern the distance to Glasgow for the northern traffic. 9. Branches from the Clydesdale Junction Railway to the Garnkirk Railway, near Dundyvan and Coatbridge, which will have a - very large mineral and passenger traffic, 10. A branch from the Garnkirk Railway to Airdrie, which will also have a great traffic. 11. Such sta tions as may be found necessary in connexion with the various branches. These are all the objects which the Di rectors consider it necessary at present to recommend for the approval of the. meeting ; in order to bring the Caledonian Railway into full operation, it has been computed that the capital which their completion will render necessary is about 1,275.0001. That sum the Directors propose to raise by creating one new share of 25/, for each original share of 501. of the consolidated Caledonian and Clydesdale Junction Rail way Companies, and to allot the ncwshares among the share holders of the two Companies, in proportion to the original shares held by them respectively, and to issue scrip for the same on a deposit of ten per cent, being paid, and the Parlia mentary contract being signed." Mr. P. M. STEWART, M.P., in moving the adoption of the report, said—Notwithstanding the magnitude of the plan, which, in my view, always appeared as the first of our great national lines from England to Scotland, I never met (notwithstanding the various duties which devolved on the Board) with a more satisfactory report from those to whom such duties were entrusted, than I do on the present occasion. —(Applause.) It gives me pleasure to refer to one point mentioned In the report, and that is the proposed branch to Dumfries. When the original Bill was before Parliament, the Committee regretted that they could not sanction the whole of the Caledonian scheme then submitted to them, being obliged to reject the branch to Dumfries. They said, on in specting it—l thought they said with truth—that there had been some haste in projecting the branch from the main line to Dumfries ; but it was suggested by the Committee that, to complete the scheme then before them, and which met with their sanction, there should be branches, as now projected by my friends Mr. Locke and Mr. Errington, from the south, coming from Carlisle to Dumfries, and to the north, in going to Dumfries, thus completing the plan prospectively sanctioned by the ommittee. There fore, I feel that we have a claim, and I have no doubt that we shall succeed in our application, and get that most im portant part of our scheme completed in next session. With regard to the operation of this great line in the neigh bourhood of Glasgow, I do think we should be satisfied with the report now read, for I know the struggle going on there, from the competing interests of the different rail ways. I know also the great wealth and influence, and the importance of that district to every line, but in par tpi u r e l c a t r t r o s i a lav g e r et acted leading a wiselyd n g t e e C a pointsl e o n i a f .

We have already in the state of things which now exist —by their holding of stock— we have already an earnest of their intentions to this end. Our Chairman had alluded to other steps which they mean to take to identify theniseives with us; and I do say that not only to the Caledonian line, but to the Scottish interests in general, it :6 a etlirjett of 'neat congratulation that this is one of the Maley fruits 6. the improved communication a o p n i a t i al an a d nd co t in he m e e n r e c r i gz of Ea interests g of our eoiiiitiy..,--(Hear, beer.)

Of Course if the directors shall find upon Further investigation that any of the lines are not likely to pay, they will not go on with them ; and I hope the share holders will have that contidence in the directors as to be lieve that they will run into no expense which they really think will not be justified.—(Hear, hear.) The report was then unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then moved the adoption of a series of resolutions, authorising the directors to proceed with the undertaking, which were also carried unanimously. On the motion of Colonel ➢I'DoNALD, of Powderhall, seconded by Mr. MACONOCIIIE, of Meadowbank, the thanks of the meeting were unanimously tendered to the chairman and directors, for their great and successful exertions in pro moting the interests of the company. STANDING ORDERS FOR THE THIRTIETH. (From the Irish Railway Gazette.) The time is now at hand when the various projected com panies must commence complying with standing orders, and it is needless for us to warn the promoters that no mercy will be shown in the ensuing session to any company that has not strictly, and to the letter, complied with standing orders. We shall briefly notice the principal standing orders which must be complied with on or before the 30th inst. In the first place, the fifteenth standing order of the Com mons requires the publication of the Parliamentary notices for three successive weeks, in October or November, in the London, Edinburgh, or Dublin Gazette, as the case may be, and also in some one and the same newspaper of all counties, towns, &c., through which the proposed railway runs. The notices must be delivered to the Gazettes three days before the day of publication. In the second place, the twenty-third standing order en joins that on or before the 30th of November, immediately preceding the session of Parliament in which application for the Bill shall be made, a plan, and also a duplicate of such plan, on a scale of not less than four inches to a mile, be de posited for public inspection at the office of the clerk of the peace for every county, riding, or division in Ireland, in or through which the worl: is proposed to be made, which plans shall describe the line or situation of the whole of the work, and the lands in or through which it is to be made, or through which every communication to or from the work shall be made, together with a book of reference, containing the names of the owners, or reputed owners, lessees, or reputed lessees, and occupiers of such lands respectively, with a sec tion and a duplicate of the railway. The Standing Order 23 A, also provides that a copy of all plans, sectims, and books of reference, together with a pub lished map, to a scale of not less than half-an-inch to a mile, with the line of railway delineated thereon, so as to show its general course and direction, shall be lodged with the Board of Trade, on or before the 30th of November. There are other matters to which attention must be paid on or before the 31st of DKember, such as lodging the plans and sections, as far as they relate to each parish, with the clerk of the union within which such parish is included, and also depositing a copy of the said plans, sections, and books of reference in the Private Bill-office of the House of Com mons, and in the office of the clerk of the Parliaments. It is also required that before the 31st of December, the notices enjoined by Standing Order 17 of the Commons, be served on owners, lessees, and occupiers, and a list made out distinguishing which of them have assented, dissented, or are neuter, in respect to the proposed railway. These are the principal orders which will have to be com plied with. There are other particulars, however, to which we need not advert, as they are mere matters of detail. Any company that is in a position to comply with the standing orders, on or before the 30th instant, can experience no diffi culty in point of time in complying with all the other orders. BRIEF STATISTICAL SKETCH OF IRISII RAILWAYS. PROJECTS NOT YET BEFORE PARLIAMENT. In our last number we gave a brief sketch of the various Irish lines which are in actual operation, or for which the sanction of Parliament had been obtained. We now com plete our liet by adding to it all those which are projects, not having been as yet submitted to the judgment of the Legislature.

ALDERMAN HOLLINS. STOCKPORT, Nov. B.—The presentation of plate to one of the borough aldermen, Mr. Hollins, took place last evening, in a large room of the factory, a room 159 feet long, 33 feet wide, and 20 feet high. There were about 700 of his work people present, and as each person in his emply had a ticket for a friend, probably about 1,200 persons were assembled. They all partook of tea and refreshments; and one of the workpeople ( Mr. Hurst) having taken the chair, the follow ing toasts and sentiments were given : " The Queen." " God save the Queen." _ " The People."—(Three time three, and cheers.) " The Mutual Aid Society" was the third toast, and then the presentation of plate took place, the tray holding the plate being presented to Mr. Hollins by two of the oldest workpeople at the factory now worked by Mr. Hollins, one having been thirty-six years in the same employ, the other twenty-six years; two as fine looking men as any part of England could produce, and right proud were they of their position. The address was read by Mr. Jounsox, the honorary se cretary to the workpeople. It was as follows: TO EDWARD HOLLINS, ESQ. Respected Sir,—We, the undersigned, filling various situations in your establishment, have united in contributing towards the testimonial we have now the highest gratification in presenting to you. We are fully aware, Sir, that had your individual wishes been consulted you would have exerted your utmost endeavour to pre vent this public manifestation of our attachment, remaining per. fectly satisfied with the silent, yet delightful recompense of an ap proving conscience, for whatever actions of yours have contributed to our happiness and comfort. _ _ . But, Sir, we felt convinced that passively, year after year, to witness your interest in our welfare, and daily to partake of the advantages resulting from a connexion with you, without giving some practical proof of the estimation in which you are held by us all, would justly have laid us open to the charge of ingratitude; while, at the same time, we should have deprived ourselves of per forming an act, not more of duty than of pleasure. While, Sir, we would as much disdain to address you in the language of flattery, as you would be disgusted at accepting it from our lips, we nevertheless feel ourselves impelled, in justice to your self, upon the present occasion, to refer to a few traits in your cha racter. which, were they more generally conspicuous in individuals of your station, would go far to dissipate those local differences, which have too frequently existed betwixt the employer and em ployed. In you, Sir, the master is blended with the friend. Convinced yourself that ignorance is incompatible with happiness, you have laboured with nnwearied energy, in raising us in the scale of intel. ligence—in proving to us, by personal argument, that the interests of master and servant are identical—that class interests are opposed to the welfare of the community—and that the proiperity of a nation must depend upon a harmonious union and reeipiocitY of interests, between the sons of toil and the wealthy capitalist. But, Sir, more than this, we have witnessed in you the tender sympathiser in affliction, the secret benefactor in seasons of dis tress, the anxious designer of our comforts, the encouraging in quirer into our wants, the ready promoter of our wishes ; in short, Sir, your conduct towards ourselves and others, has been of a character which has disarmed envy and established peace—im planted hope in bosoms which once rankled with despair and wretchedness. It has, Sir, been a general source of regret that your ill state of health should have so long separated you from amongst us. You have, Sir, our united prayers for your speedy and complete conva lenscence, whereby the happiness of your family may be augmented, and our anxious hopes gratified. Accept then, Sir, from the hands of your grateful workpeople, this testimony of their esteem. Long may you and yours bye to look upon and enjoy It. May your children be taught to regard this " Poor Man's Gift" as a tribute to their father's merits; and when that period shall at length arrive, which shall summon all of us, high and low, rich and poor, before the last high tribunal, ma; the good deeds performed by you on earth, be rewarded by the society of the just and perfect in heaven. The presentation of the plate having taken place, " The Town-Clerk of Stockport, and the Guests of the Evening," was the next toast, which was acknowledged by the Town- Clerk ; and this was followed by " The Ladies," acknow ledged by Peter Edward Maisland, Esq., one of the magis trates of the boroughand the mayor-elect. About nine o'clocl the tables were cleared away and dancing commenced, which was continued (country 'dance, quadrille, polka, and waltz) till the hour of twelve put an end to this most interesting and exhiliarating scene. Mr. J. ALLINSON (in 1842, a Chartist, who suffered impri sonment)retunied thanks for " The People." - He made a most, interesting speech, detailed how the people . had been hum bugged by humanity-mongers, people who told them their grievances, but gave them no remedy. He had now found in Mr. Hollins an employer who studied the interests of his hands, and he was not to be deluded any more. The speaker was exceedingly well received. Mr. CARTER (another late Chartist) returned thanks for the " Mutual Aid Society." He said this Society had a li brary, newspapers, and Sick Society, and that the members met to debate and instruct each other. That at first they quarrelled and were a little uncomfortable, calling each other hard names, but that now any subject could be discussed with good humour, and they were not ashamed to find them selves wrong. Amongst other subjects, the Eleven Hours Bill had been discussed, and they decided in the Mutual Aid Society that eleven hours would produce as much manufac ture as twelve; that Mr. Hollins said they might try it. They had done so, and they found the result was that the work was better done, and more of it, in eleven hours than twelve, and the additional hour thus gained was devoted to improvement. The very lads had established a Mutual Aid Society for themselves. The TOWN-CLERK said the guests of the evening were much obliged to the workmen for their invitation. That if Mr. Hollins had only done the good of showing to tbe work men that he was only a buyer of labour and they the sellers, and therefore were to treat each other mutually as buyers and sellers of any other commodity did, with mutual re spect, attention, and civility, he had done a great and po sitive good; but he had effected more, he had established between himself and workpeople such a reciprocal feeling of kindness that, come good times or bad times, his workmen would not turn against their employer, but look to the real causes of distress, either improper taxation or improper go vernment. The feeling of the meeting was gratifying in the extreme. Mr. Hollins seemed to be the idol of his workpeople, and as he walked through them blessings were showered on him from all sides. We were sorry to see him in a very delicate state of health, and he could only remain with them about half an hour, the excitement of the scene being too great for him. The plate consisted of a very elegant silver tea ser vice, valued at about 1201. NAVAL INTELLIGENC: PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 9.—Her Majesty's ship President is ordered to take on board six nine.pounder field guns, with the requisite stores, and 300 rounds of shot, &c.; they are to be landed at the Isle of France, and kept in readiness for any emergency. These ordnance stores are expected this day or tomorrow from Wool_ wich, by the Dee steam transport, and when embarked, the Presi dent will put to sea. The Juno, 26, will not sail until to-morrow for the Pacific; orders were sent down yesterday for all the supernumeraries and packages for the ships at the Brazils, to be taken out, and the Juno goes direct round the Horn, to join Rear-Admiral Sir G. Seymour. The Rapid screw steamer has been brought alongside a hulk to have her stores landed, and prepared for being docked. Her masts will be taken out, and when in dock the screw altered. The Scourge steamer hauls from the Dock - y ard jetty to-morrow, and will go to Spitheed directly. She ha s taken in 40 tons of water, and 100 tons of c 6.115, but not a n y provisions, as the party will eery one or two days' supp ly with them; she has also 30 thir teen.inch shells, and SO My six pound shot. The shells will b e fill e d at Spithead. As it would not be oafs for the men to be at the wheel when the mortar is fired over their heads with a charge of 201bs. of powder, an additional w heel has been fitted between the aftermost funnel and the ma inmast — "there, the steersman and the binnacle will be perfectly sate.

MAGAZINES CONTI T UED• SPORTING RR 'VIEW. k nortrait The illustrations of the present number are a of Th. 3 Peron, drawn by Herring, and engravea by Hacker, and a spirited picture, by Hancock, of a r.o . watching two rabbits at play, entitled, "How ham' could Ibe with either." This last picture is engraved by a. R. Scott. Craven comments on the Newmarket First and Second October meetings in an admirably written article ; and the Editor continues his stories of " Leatherlungs the 'Leg.'" Mr. Hesket's paper on *sited Deer of Devonshire is concluded in this number, and, is by far the most interesting paper of the review. From it we extract the following notice of the duties and qua lifications of a harbourer. Probably few of our readers were aware that to every pack of stag-hounds in the Red Deer country is attached a man who might rival an American Indian in detecting and following up a trail:— " To every pack of stag-hounds a harbourer is an essential appendant, whose duty is to be not only acquainted with all the coverts in the hunt, but also to know when and where a deer may be roused in any particular wood. To ensure st. day's sport, he must be at the coverside some time before daybreak, and mark the feeding grounds, and the racks over . which the deer have passed during the previous night; for it is only at this time that he moves from his lair, and therein does he differ from the buck orfallow-deer,who feed in the open country.by day, and move but little from their particular locally ; whilst the former frequently traverse a distance of 20 or 30 miles of a night in search of food or hinds. The har bourer examines all the places where a stag is likely to have been, and, by means of his slot and other circumstances, can tell for certain whether there are any within the covert in tended to be drawn and whether it is a stag or hind, as well as its size and condition —indeed, without seeing him, he has. the means of knowing everything about him, and is able to , report with certainty to the master at the meet whether it is a runable stag, fit as well for the table as the chase, that may be roused, or whether he is unfit for sport. And for this no little ability and experience are requisite : he is well stored with all the knowledge and traditions which the ancient foresters have, from time immemorial, handed down to him. Having discovered signs of a deer, perhaps by the slot, he traces it to the cover, and, if he finds that he has entered' it,' he then proceeds to ring it, in order to ascertain whether he has again left it or not; if, from the absence of fresh-mada slot and other circumstances, he finds that he is still there, he will abide the time of the meet, taking care that nothing disturbs the cover; but, should he find the deer unworthy, or that it has left the cover, he will in like manner proceed' to others until he is sure that he has harboured a warrant-' able stag. I should mention that it is not by slotting alone that he has certain indications of the presence of deer, al though it is the chief thing on which he relies, for by it he has a very strong criterion according to the state of the weather, &c., as to the time which has elapsed since the deer has passed on, and can tell from it much of its habits—that is, whether it recently frequented rocky and hilly coun tries, or been feeding in rich pasture: if the former, the sides of the feet are worn and broken, and the impression accordingly? whilst the slot of a deer accustomed to rich, pasture-land is more perfect, and has the pressure more On.. the heels, from the greater weight of the animal. Besides the indications of the slot, he notices the racks and galleries through which he passes to his lair, and the height at which he crops the tender shoots and leaves; and, if a bough crosses his path, he notes whether he creeps it or not : young deer will stoop in such a case, but not so the old stag; he bounds over it without concern. It is by this means, and by the fewmishings of the deer and other things, that the harbourer knows exactly all that is requisite concern ing them." SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. The present number of Simmonds contains an article on " Indian Immigration into the Mauritius," which may be considered the manifesto of the planters against the injustice of the Government, and the calumnies of which they (the planters) have been the unceasing objects. Sweeping general accusations have been constantly brought against the Mauritius planters of cruelty and various other crimes—accusations which could only be met by as general a denial, because the accusers hate invariably been too cautious to risk detection by condo scending to particulars. Under these circumstances, the planters, by this manifesto, say, " Mysterious hints and insinuations are whispered against bad masters ; such and such parties cannot man their estates, because they are over-rigorous. Now, to speak plainly, it is not the Governor's especial duty to p robei such associations to the quick. Have not all a right to say, Speak plainly, and putting aside all other motives, does not justice to the good and lenient demand punishment for the bad and severe master?' " Surely this is not asking too much, but this is more than they will obtain, until that sinister influence, which for the last twenty years has weighed like an incubus upon all our colonies, shall be removed from the Co lonial-office, and until our Colonial Minister shall have force of mind sufficient to emancipate himself from the beaureaucracy by which he is enslaved, and shall see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears, and judge with his own reason. We recommend this paper to the attentive perusal of all who take an interest in our co lonial prosperity. There are several other valuable papers in the present number of Simmonds, and among them is an excellent article, by the editor, on Colonial Railways. THE CHURCHMAN'S MONTHLY REVIEW.' The two first articles of the present number are strong and energetic protests against Romanism, and against Tractarianism, as leading thereto. The first is on the state of the Church, and the second a review of a re cently-published tale, entitled "Recantation." -Then follows an elaborate critique on M. Quint's work "Le Christianisme et la Revolution," in which full justice is done to the great and varied powers of that must' eloquent historian. The last article is a review of "Biley's Supplement to Paley's liorreraulinEe.' " FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.. BRUSSELS, Nor. 6.—A baker at Antwerp has made some suc— cessful trials of a mixture of rye flour with the flour of American maize. The Governor of the province of East Flanders has directed the Commissioners of Districts to call once in a month a general met ing of the burgomasters in their resort, fur the purpose of consider ing meao to employ persons out of work, and to provide food for the indigent. The first meeting took place on the 29th of Octcber, and there is every reason to expect this measure will prove effectual. The Committee which has been formed to apply to the Chamber for a reform in the Post-office, founded on a uniform rate, has met several times within these few days. We hope that Belgium will soon obtain this great improvement. Petitions to the Cham bers on this subject are circulated in several cities of the kingdom, and are covered with signatures. We hear that bands of beggars have been formed in the com munes of Hal and of Leerew St. Pierre, where they rove about In the night, and visit the farm-houses, where they ask for bread, and if there is none demand money. lt:is hoped that the local euthori eies will be able by their energy to stop these culpable proceedings, which are extending in an alarming maner.

Si n,—l must confess that I was startled and astonished the other day to read in your columns what purported to be quoted from a recent address delivered at a Mechanics' Insti tution, for, in these extracts I see a fac simile of my (rocs mind—" its very form and pressure, " reluti in speculum, the imagining was in many cases the:ississima vcrba of an address delivered some twenty years ago at the Mechanics' Institu tion, Halifax, Yorkshire. It was printed litera scripta mand. It is a curious coincidence and singular evidence of minds being sometimes cast in the same mould of thought, n'importe;. I was among the earliest advocates of Mechanics' Institu tions.—l am respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, ovember 4. J. MURRAY, Ph. D.
