" The receipts from excursion trains have been about 10,0001., and the ordinary traffic receipts have increased concurrently with the excursion train traffic. " In 1844, Compulsory enactments were passed by the Legislature to oblige railway companies to convey pas sengers at id. per mile in third-class carriages, and an exemption of duty on such fares was put forward in the Act as an inducement to extend such arrangements. The directors conceived that when they offered the means of travelling at a much less rate of faro and on more favourable conditions in other respects than the Legislature contemplated, affording, as they did, not only third,tut in many cases first and second-class carriage accommodation at fares under Id. per mile, exemption of duty on receipts so arising would not bo denied to them. In this they have been disappointed; the Com missioners of Inland Revenue and of Railways having refused to allow of the exemption of duty, unless the re ceipts urise exclusively from the lowest class of carriage accommodation. The directors are advised that this is not . the proper interpretation of the Act, as assuredly it is not in accordance with its spirit, and they trust they will ultimately establish this view. In the mean timo it embarrasses them and other railway companies in the arrangements they are contemplating for the accommo datio❑ of the visitors to the Exhibition of 1851, and it has tended to diminish the facilities they might, under more liberal treatment on the part of the Government authorities, have been able to afford. " The preparations for the Exhibition of 1851 have engaged the serious attention of the board. They have ordered, in addition to their present stock, 64 carriages of various denominations, capable,of conveying at one time. 3,212 additional persons. " The contracts for the permanent way and works ex pired on the 30th of November last, and the whole line has been relet in ,two contracts to two responsible con tractors. The annual charge of maintenance on that portion of the line formerly let is, under the new letting, less by 30,6691. per annum than under the old. In pursuance of the instructions of the proprietors, the directors are negotiating with the owners of land and contractors on the Alton Line, and will be guided in their determination to construct this lino or not by the result of these negotiations. The arrangements by which it is proposed that the Taw Vale Railway should be opened for traffic, and the investment of the London and South-Western Railway Company in that undertaking made to afford a return, are in progress, and the Taw Vale Company apply during the present session for Parliamentary powers to carry out the plan. It is hoped that this line will be in a position to be opened for traffic in 1853, when the rent guaranteed by the lessee will become payable. " The Exeter and Crediton Railway (six miles long), by means of which the Taw Vale Railway communicates with Exeter, has recently been let to the Bristol and Exeter Company, subject to the approval of the share holders, at a rent of one-third of the gross receipts; from this, however, the cost of relaying some portion of the rails will have to be deducted. " This property, therefore, west of Exeter, which has been hitherto unproductive, is now• in fair course of affording a return to the London and South-Western Railway Company. " Notice has been given by the North and South- Western Junction Railway Company for an application to Parliament this session for powers to construct a con• netting line 3f miles long between the London and North-Western Railway and this railway, the estimated cost being 50,0001. This company and the London and North-Western Railway Company have agreed to enter into a joint traffic arrangement, by which a certain amount of goods will be secured to the new line. The directors believe that this line, connecting for the first time the whole of the railway system of the north and east of England with the narrow-gauge lines of the south and south-east, the docks of London and the Thames with those of Southampton, and the manufacturing and coal districts of the north and centre of England with the south coast and port of Southampton, is calculated ultimately to bo of great use to this railway. The risk arising from this traffic arrangement, in the form in which it is given, could not, under any circumstances, exceed 1,1251. per annum to this company.

He commenced by expressing a hope that the accounts would be considered satisfactory, and flattered himself that those proprietors who did not respond to the opinion which he expressed in August last—that they had passed the lowest point—would now see some reason to change their opinion. —(Hear, hear.) The ex cursion trains, which had been looked upon by many persons as a mere speculative matter, had produced a considerable profit; and although they had run over more than 30,000 miles, it was gratifying to find that the extra cost of working was not more than 2231. With respect to the suburban traffic, family tickets had, in many instances, been issued, thus ena bli ng a f am ily to travel in a single compartment, and this arrangement had given great satisfaction.—(Hear, hear.) The di rectors had endeavoured as much as possible to run the excursion trains on week days, and scarcely 4,000/. out of the 10,0001, which those trains had produced, had arisen from the running of Sunday trains.—(Hear, bear.) In the provinces, in many cases, excursion trains on working days were successful, but in dealing with the metropolis Sunday excursion trains were more valuable to the community and more beneficial to the exchequer. —(Hear, hear.) From the Great Exhibition the di rectors anticipated a considerable increase in their funds, believing that many of the visitors would take up their residence in the suburbs, and make use of the railway as the most convenient mode of transit.—(Hear, hear.) They also anticipated great benefit from the Northern and Southern Junction. At present the merchandise arriving at Camden-town had to bo Owed on waggons, Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable Rates 01 Premium for each dais of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation ti the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap xoached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Mee will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per eent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against foss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Il anover-square ; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF .ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfrctly resemble natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. COPY OF A YOUNG LADY'S VALENTINE.

By the junction to which he had' just alluded goods would be conveyed with „greater speed and economy, and the London and-South-Western Railway would thus acquire a great 'Advantage over all the other seuthern lines.—(Hear, bear.)- . On Sun day lest, he understood that nearly 9.0d0 persons pro ceeded from the neighbourhood of Islington •to Black wall by the London and Birmingham and East and West India Dock Junction Railway; and he could not help believing that when the Northern and Southern Junc tion ehould be effected a considerable' number of per sons would use it for the purpose of vieitinkKew Gar dens, Richmond, Twickenham, and other places by the South-Western line.—(Applause.) The growing im portance of the town of Southampton could not fail to increase the traffic on this line. There were about sixty-eight arrivals and departures of mail: packets in the course of tho month, and, besides ebese, the com pany possessed boats of their own, which enabled them to compete with other parties for the passenger traffic. 'rho merchandise on the line had been progressively increasing, but the efforts of the directors were, to a considerable extent, neutralized by . the .competition to which they were subjected on the right band and on the left—by the Great Western Company, who had opened their line to Promo, and by' the facilities afforded to parties proceeding by Way of Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight.—(Bear, hear.) Tee directors, he was happy to say, were prueeediug in cencert for the general interests of the comperly; and it inlited staff and concentrated supervision existed over the whole of the departments at an infinitely less cost than at former periods. It was gratifying to find that 9to 000 shares in the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester line; on which a de posit of 5/. had been paid, had been withdrawn, thus re lieving this company from the guarantee which had been given.—(Hear, hear.) So much stress had been laid on the closing of the capital account—(Hear, hear)—that he was anxious to place befcre the meeting the actual posi tion in which the company now stood. The questions to which ho directed his attention were—first, the suffi ciency of the estimates for the completion of the works and the closing of the capital; secondly, the means of meeting those requirements; and thirdly, the precise position of the cesapawyeesibearitrevitifehrltretattebse closed. A careful estimate was made in November ; lB4B, and revised in February, 1850, from which it appeared that the amount then required to complete everything was 640,850/. Since that time the amount expended has been 301,7471., leaving a liability of 339,1031. Experience had shown that this athount would be amply sufficient. To meet this liability-there were ar rears of calls, 173,6001.; surplus property (according to the valuation of Mr. Tice), 157,573/.;.rails and chairs, 85,7981.; making together, 416,971/ ; leaving a surplus, after paying the 339,103/, of 77,868/. 'The amount re quired for the Taw Vale was 30.000/.eatid for the Alton line 40 ,0001.—making together 70;000/.. ' leaving, after their completion, a surp l us o f 7,8681. This he consi dered to be a virtual closing of the capital account.— (Hear, hear.) The capital account would then stand thus:— Surplus, as before stated, 7,868/.; shares not is sued, 495,519 L; power to borrow, 340,7081.; calls not made on 1,845 shares, 249,5981.; making a total of 1,093,6931. to be applied in such a manner as might be thought proper.—(Hear, hears) This statement, he trusted, would satisfy the proprietors that the company was placed in a good and sound position.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman concluded by messing the adoption cf the report. Mr. UPCROFT pressed on the directors the necessity of becoming carriers on their own line. If they exerted themselves in the matter, they would be able consider ably to increase the income at , a comparatively small ex penditure.—(Hear, hear.) He wished A;to know if the promise had been kept that the solicitor should in future be paid by salary, and also whether the costs previously paid had been taxed.—(Hear, hear,) Mr. T. SMITH (a director) said the question of car riage had been discussed over and over again. The company were carriers of goods On' the line, but they did not exclude other carriers. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to the question relative to the payment of the solicitor by salary, said the directors were of opinion that the better and . more economical course was to pay that gentleman when his services were required. On the settlement of his bill a large discount was allowed, which was, perhaps, more beneficial than taxation would have been.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. G. HUTCHINSON was desirous of absolutely fixing the period for closing the capital account, and therefore proposed as an amendment that the report be received, but that it be an instruction from the meeting to the directors to close the capital account, including loans, on the 30th of June, 1851.—(Hear, hear.) Until the closing of the capital account it was impossible for the proprietors to ascertain the real value of their shares. Mr. UPCROFT seconded the amendment. Colonel REID (a director) said' tha% practically the capital account was closed. Although . a sufficient sum had been set apart to discharge the liabilities, it might be impossible to discharge them before the 30th of June, and Eutficient time ought to be allowed to effect a settle ment in the most economical manner.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE, M.P., congratulated the meeting on the prospect of closing the capital account; which indeed mist from this time be considered as closed.—(Hear.) Mr. TITS said it might be impossible to realize the amount required by the 30th June, and that sufficient time ought to be allowed to dispose - of the property on the most favourable terms. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE advocated the immediate closing of the capital account. -1-(Hear, hear.) He thought there was something wrong in the management of the goods traffic, and believed that a considerable in crease would take place if the directors were sincere in carrying out the wishes of the proprietors. TO amendment was then put and negatived, and the report was adopted by a largo majority. Mr. Moort, after urging the necessity of a proper ob servance of the Sabbath, moved. a resolution to this effect:— " That the business of the railwarbe suspended on Sun days, except for such restrictive conveyance of passengers as seems to be called for on the groLind of public necessity, and that the directors shall take as tp.eir guide the conaider ation of the public good, and not the private interests of the company." —(Oh, oh, and laughter.) Mr. CASTLEMAN seconded the ' resolution in a speech of some length, which was frequently interrupted by cries of " Question," " Have `mercy on us," &c. After a fuw remarks from Mr. LocKE and another proprietor against the resolution, it was put and nega tived, only tour or five hands ;being held up in its favour.

It is considered pro bable that the Government also will support it, as the PRESIDENT of the Republic has always been per sonally in favour of such a measure. _ A brother of the order of the Ecoles Chregennes (the order to which Frere LEOTADE belonged) has been arrested at Reims on several charges of indecent as sault ; he will be tried on the 28th of this month. We read in the Pays-- - "The journals of the coalition attempt to turn to ac count, with their usual honesty, the division which ap pears to have recently arisen in tha meeting of the Rue. des Pyramides. Our readers know that this meeting, formed at first to preserved to the party of order in the Assembly the ensemble and force which belong to it, and which the exigencies of the Legitimatist meeting of the Rue de Rivoli threatened to compromise, consisted of all the Moderate Members of the Assembly, who took the election of the 10th Dec. as the basis of their political con duct, and supported Louis Napoleon by their influence and votes. Since the coalition has caused perturbation in,tho Assembly, division has slipped into the meeting of the Rue des Pyransides. Some members have -endeavoured to-eause their colleagues to deviate from the path traced to them by the regulations and - antecedents of the meeting; others have determined to remain faith ful to the policy of devotedness and patriotism, which rejects the .pirit of party, and supports the chief of the state. Inds irce. Another incident completed the schism. On Friday a sitting was held for the re•election of the bureau, and M. Baroobe was chosen president, M. Beugnot and M. Lem Faucher vice-presidents. Im mediately the coalitionists imagined a resignation en masse, and on Saturday, in the lobbies of the Assembly, M. 'fliers and his friends were named amongst the se paratists. It appears, however, that the number of these friends disposed to follow the chiefs of the coalition in all their proceedings is very limited, and that their separation will produce such slight effect, that they begin to ask themselves whether it would not be more prudent not to proclaim their weakness by such a sudden - re treat." The Espirance of Nancy says— " The President of the Republic has been kind enough to accord a sum of 3,000 f. to old soldiers, the most un fortunate of those presented to him during his passage through the departpient. This sum, small in propor tion to the misery existing, but very large compared to the narrowness of the President's resources, is to be immediately remitted to those for whom it is destined."

Her Majesty and IA Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Pince of Wales anti several other members of the Royal array, bald an early visit to the Exhibition yesterday min iieg. They inspected the dif ferent parts of the builtir ig, end watched with interest the process of examiniege the different packages by the Custom-house officers. t:1?r Majesty has probably never before been so near at e.yewitness of the machinery which contributes so larte ly to the public revenue. The mode in which the workin conducted has its peculiar in terest, like everything tl . :eu connected with this great undertaking. As the vrA &mons containing the packages arrive within the buildini: they are driven to the centre of the transept, and there unloaded and marked by a Custom-house officer. ,From the transept relays of Sappers convey the pack 'gee in trucks to the compart ment of the foreign counts y whence they come. Deposited in this compartment anoener band of Custom-house offi cers are there to receive them, and a fresh party of Sap pers with chisels and °the!, implements rapidly break open lids or other coverings, and with military determieation sweep everything !Defoe() them until the goods lie re vealed. Yesterday the 11%ere0 compartment was the principal one to which i ; i ode were consigned, though ar rivals also wok /Agate tor the Swiss and Canadian collec tions. Entering within 4:re hoarding, where Sappers were vigorously engaged in breaking open groat boxes, one might have almost fu ivied that some scene of plunder was in pro green. The v i I;iety of articles that the-dif ferent packages presented mss also curious, and even the Custom-house people the uselves, hardened as they must be against that species ,tf excitement, appeared in terested in the miscellant ens character of their occupa tion. One box containeee meet of trays, another earthen ware images, another silk ',handkerchiefs or gloves, ano ther parasol handles, auc efer a machine for knitting, articles of general merch aniiee alternated with works of art aad specimens of ekil ;al handicraft. And we may ob serve that even at this early' stage in the arrival of foreign goods there are signs tie it tie palm of cheap production, and the merit of an inti ustial system founded on the principle of utility, are n it t• be resigned to us without a contest by the States of t: ae iollverein. Within the spice allotted fur our native contributions:few...arrivals have taken pise_e4,,key.e...njl _eutiordelgts g and Hardly anftWag"Etaristale.o iv: - - marked off with red psi; at orchalk, and one seetitiero led' on the boards the familiar names of our different wanu facturing communities. In the division or machinery, Oldham has taken the read ty commencing the founda tions of the complicated and splendid display of cotton machines which are to be exLibited from there. Other places would do well to follow this example, and not to lose a day ire, forwardin g the arrangements of a depart ment on which more than ary other probably our in• dusttial reputation depends. It is singular that, as a milliner was;the first co ntribttor to the stock of the Exhi bition,:the small Scotch town of Dunfermline should have its stall first completed. We hear that some of the large towns, and London esp eciall:, are still very far behind hand with their prepar allow. Yesterday morning, a .t a little before 11 o'clock, a high ly interesting experime at wet made at the building with a view to ascertain practically the strength of the gal leries, both under the c ondition of supporting what is technically called a dead ,oad, and also a rolling or moving one. A few s imple figures will pretty clearly explain the basis of cal culation upon which the dimen sions of the several par is composing the galleries have been determined. The points of support on plan occur ring at the angles of squares of 24 feet, the area of each bay of gallery is e ,to 576 square feet. From various experiments i vhick have been made by Mr. Brunel, and by otht elgineers, it has been found that the average weight of a number of persons stand ing together in a contin ed space rarely' exceeds 50Ib. per square foot; that by packing men as closely together as possible it might be brought up to 701 b. or 801 b ; and that, not ev m by picking out the heavy men and gathering them in to the smallest compass, could an average of 1 cwt. p,tr square foot be obtained. One cwt. was therefore atom nee as an amount certain to cover any,unforeseen combinsttion of circumstaucee. On this assumption no bay of gallery 24 feet square could pos -1 sibly be called upon to c tarry a load equal to 30 tons. As it was ingeniously cc attrived by the arrangement of' the flooring that the weight should be distributed over four girders, and every ;girder bad been submitted on the ground to a pressure of 1.5 tons (that being only half the maximum weight that ouch was capable of supporting) applied exactly at the points upon which the floor would have to be borne„ it will be manifest that a very large margin had been left to provide for contingencies arising from any motion eshich it teas possible might be commu nicated to such a load. The immediate objek of the experiment tried yester day was to assure by various tests of the severest charac ter to what extent oscillations could be conveyed to the gallery by the mailer motion of a living load, and to ascertain whether the provision which had been made to meet such contingencies was sufficient. The preparations made for the experiment consisted of the construction of e, perfect bay of gallery, with its floor, binders, girders, and connecting pieces, in every respect com plete and similar to the actual gallery, sup ported upon four points bedded on temporary founda tions; rows of planks, tie full width of the platform, led up to it and do• wn from it, so that a row of men, as wide a; the gallery, might be able to march up and down in close solar an. Three hundred workmen were first assembled by :the contractors, and allowed to cover the platform and the planks connected with it. They w ore t h en comps eesed into the smallest space upon a hich they could stud. The load borne on the planks represented the share of pressure which would be pro duced by the crow divg of adjacent bays of gallery. The amount of deflection produced by this load was inap preciable. The LI ten then walked regularly and irregu larly, and ran over .it. The elasticity of the floor— allowing play to elle limbers and the wro ug ht i ron wor k —was apparent admirably thatrabthly developed by this test, and it became dity of elasticity was o f t h e greatest value i n prntenthg the cast-iron girders from sudden shock. Thus, i is , fi j as severest test whi c h cou ld poss ibl y be applied—when „the men, standing clo se ly p ac k e d to gether, continued jumping simultaneously f or severa l minutes, although in the regular vibrations of the floo r , pub's% that could be ascertained at any of eb of theinders played up and down—the extreme deflection any moment did not e:toe!' 2l one quarter of an inch. As the contractors men were unable to keep military time in their step, and it was considered desirable to ascertain the effect of perfectly regular os c ill a tio ns , th e whole of the Sappers and Miners on the ground, in close columns, were unieciled over and over and round and round, and were finally made to mark time in the most trying manner. With the result of this last test the eminent scientific men present expressed themselves highly gratified, observing, that while at the climax of vibration the motion did not exceed that common in ordinary London hvuses at evening parties. A minute examination of the several parts of the construction ,likely to be affected by similar experi ments, made immediately upon their completion, bore witness to the fact that no portion had suffered any injury whatever fr om the strains to which it had been exposed. When it is remembered that the arrangements for the Exhibition in the ;galleries require passages only six feet wide on the sides ni the gallery counters for light goods occupying the central portion most liable to strain; and when it is borne in. mind that the galleries are of such extent as to render. uniform vibration over any consider able portion of thefir whole area impossible, the results of the experiments w e have described cannot but be re garded as calculated to relieve the apprehensions of the most timid. The performance of this experiment was honoured by the presence cf the Royal visitors and their suite. The Earl of Graniville and Mr. W. Cubitt, C.E., Royal Commissioners, M r. I. K. Brunel, Mr. Locke, M.P., Mr. Field, and a few c ither eminent professional gentlemen, were also present. Colonel Reid, C. 8., Mr. Cole, Mr. Dilke, Mr. Bowr ing, Dr. Lyon Playfair, , Mr. Wyatt, &c., were in atten dance. Dr. Lyon Playrair has just completed a very valuable classification of o bjects to be exhibited, and which is drawn up not only with a view to arrangement in the building, but also •to bring the subjects in a systematic manner before the juries who have to determine the merits of the articles in each class. We stated erroneously in a former notice, that the Commissioners cre Woods and Forests were putting up an iron railing outside of the building, which has since been condemned as unsightly and insufficient. The Woods and Forests had nothing to do with this railing, and the mistake arose from its being the same in design as that used by them in Hyde Park. _ (Town Clerk), and r. Messrs.

CHARLES MARSHALL'S DIO RAMA OF A TOUR THROUGH EUROPE. The - grand moving 'diorama painted by Mr. Charles Marshall, and representing the grand routes of a tour through Europe, was opened to the public, on Monday at her Majesty's Concert Rooms (attached to her Majesty's Theatre), in the Haymarket. The exhibition was accompanied by a descriptive lecture - admirably d e _ livered by Mr. Woody, who has the good taste to dis pense with the long white wand which the describers of dioramas have been heretofore so fond of using. The first route exhibited is that to Constant.. nople. vi<i Ilaglburgh, Berlin, Dresden, Prague, the Walnutla—that monument of the patriotism and taste of King Lewis of Bavaria, Ratisban, Vienna, Perth, and Buda, and Hungary, to the iron Gate of the Datiube, and from thence to Consteutinople. Tho second route is frbm Rome to Mount Bist.c, an d i en i n d e s views of Rome, ef the city of Venice, and of the Place of St. Mark, of the Laggo Meggiore of the sublime Monte Rosa, of the Gallery of Iselin of the Valley of Gored°, of the Gallery of Gorodo, of th e Villoge a the Simplon, of a snow storm and avalanche of the beautiful little town of Interlachee, of the Jungfrau, the scene of Byron's " Man fred,"of the Wetterhorn,of the',Vallies of Grindolwald isud Lauterbruunen, and the other magnificent scenery of the Bernese Oberland, of the beautiful Lake Leman, end the neat little.city of Geneva, and of the wonders of the Valley of Charcouni, including the Montanvert and Mont Blanc. We must cat:fess that - we . ware more pleased with this than with any other portion of tie panorama ; Mr. Charles Marshall excels in the deli neation of the "sublime Alpine scenery, and we can, from our own personal reminiscences, vouch for his cor rectness. Thu third route exhibits the tour o*the Rhine, exhibiting JOhannisherg and Bingen, the Mous.

MIIRDER.—HEREFORD, MONDAY.—An investiga tion concerning the murder of a married woman named Sarah Roberts, who was found dead in a ditch by the side of the tram-road from this city to Abergavenny, which has created the greatest interest in the neighbourhood, has just closed before Mr. Underwood, the district coroner. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Isaac Roberts, and the coroner issued his warrant for his committal to the county gaol for trial at the forthcoming assizes. In the course of the day he was removed by Mr. Superintendent Gregory. lie seemed much affected, and wept bitterly. He states his own age to be about 40, and earnestly protests his innocence. The deceased's age was 53.

BOAT ON A NLW PRINCIPLE.—The Debate states that there has been constructed at the establishment of Creusot, a boat on a new system, which realizes the great problem of submarine navigation. The size of the boat and its machines are such, that it will not be confined to the execution of works under water, such as have taken place recently at Brest, and in the Seine at Paris.

ALLEGED MURDER.—On Sunday night last a mur derous attack was made at W ednesbury, in Staffordshire, upon John Welsh, an Irishman, by four or five fellows, also Irishmen. It is supposed that the offending parties enter tained some ill-feeling against Welsh, and upon meeting him near the Gate, at Lea Brook, they commenced a deadly as sault upon him with bricks, cinders, &c. Leaving him wel tering in his blood, and apparently dead, they proceeded to a house in the immediate neighbourhood, occupied by a relative of Welsh's, and who, it is conjectured, had also in some way excited their ill-will. They were in the act of battering down the door, when fortunately some of the police arrived, and succeeded in capturing one of the party, named John Moran, upon whom they found a quantity of furnace cinders. Welsh, who was conveyed to his home, lin gered in a state of madness until Tuesday morning, when death put an en d t o h is su ff er i ngs . A n inquest was held on the body, wh en a num be r of witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that the men who committed this Moran, Patrick most brutal homicide were named M'Farlane, Francis Cosgrove, and John _Moran._ ,Fi verdict inas mu c Moran, who are in custody, were RS in deeds, of Wilful murder" was returned,com ainndittbeld forar a t n ri e al. and W. acts h of omission not less tha n thos e of commission. and in Eliza Cook's Journal.

OLD BAcnkLons.—Old bachelors do not live as lone- as other men. They ha ve no b o d y to men d th e i r clothes and darn their stockings. They catch cold, and there is nobody to make peppermint tea, and consequently they drop GERMANY. The Allgemeine Zeitung states that the arrests of wealthy persons, on the accusation of being concerned in an alleged conspiracy, still continues at Vienna. of the nature of this conspiracy nothing is known, and it is generally considered that these arrests are made merely for the purpose of extorting money for the use of the very paternal Government of the EM PEROR. RUSSIA AND POLAND. According to letters received from Poland, the masses of troops stationed in that country have within these few days past made a movement between Czenstochowa and Wielim, where there are large forces with 160 cannon. All the villages of the an cient iVaiwodic of Cracow are full of infantry, and upon the route so important for Russia from Brezesc Litewski to Kalisch there are 200,000 men. The EMPEROR has issued two ukases, which mate rially affect the Jews. By the former, which refers to the reeruiting sys tem, the ukase commands that, in consequence of the great irregularity which prevails in raising conscripts among the Jews, if the number be not completed within the given time, three Jews over and above the one that is wanting, shall be forcibly levied in that community ; the age of the men must be above 20 years. By the second ukase, those Jewish commu nities which have not paid the tax imposed upon them, shall give . up an adult Jew from their own community for every 2,000 roubles which are not paid if the taxes are in arrears. TURKEY. Accounts have been received at Constantinople of the defeat of the Arabs by the Turks, near Bagdad. The Turks have likewise obtained several advantages in Kurdistan. The blockade of Samos has commenced. GREECE. Accounts from Athens of the 29th ult. state that it was considered probable that liiag OTHO would abdicate. W ALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. Intelligence from Galatz states that 800 Russians have occupied that city on the score of sanitary pre cautions, from Moldavia. This step was taken be cause a Magyar chief had broken the quarantine laws by crossing the cordon from Turkey into Moldavia. This measure is sanctioned by the treaty of Adria nople, which gives Russia the privilege of super intending the quarantine in Moldavia and Wallachia. ITALY. The Croce di Savoia of the 14th states that the King of SARDINIA has not accepted the resignation of Count SICCARDI. The Opinione of the same date states, from Rome, that General GBMEAU has determined to declare the state of siege during the Carnival. The English emigrant ship Laconic arrived at this port on Monday, having been'just one hundred days on her passage from Liverpool. She had 215 passengers.

[ADVERTISE➢IENT.]—An Excellent Cure of a Dis order in the Stomach effected by Holloway's Pills.—A lady, an intimate friend of the family of General Rosas, Governor of the Republic of La Plata, declares that she was lately cured of a disorder in the stomach, and restored to perfect health, by the use of this admirable remedy. She had consulted the most eminent physicians in the country, but had not been able to obtain any relief from the complaint that was killing her by inches until she took Holloway's Pills. John Eastman, Esq., an eminent merchant of Buenos Ayres, communicated these particulars to Professor Holloway, in a letter, dated Sept. 4, 1849.—501 d by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, Loudon. POPISH AGGRESSION.—We are given to understand that a meeting of the Italians resident in London will be held this evening in the metropolis, for the purpose of pass ing resolutions condemnatory of the Popish aggression in this country. A very large number of Protestant clergymen are expected to attend. LOLA MONTES AGAIN.—When Mr. Heald and Lola Montes took up their residence some months ago in the Cite Beaujon, they ordered M. Jacquand to paint their portraits on the same canvass, and after some hesitation, it was deter mined that Mr. Heald should be represented at full length, in his uniform as an officer of the Guards, offering to Lola, seated on a splendid sofa, a present of jewellery. Just as the painting was terminated, Mr. Jacquand learning that Mr. Heald was about to leave for England, brought an action against him before the Civil Tribunal for the price of the picture. Mr. Heald objected to the price as excessive, and the Tribunal directed M. Ingres to examine the painting. and to say what it really was worth. M. Ingres reported that it seemed to him that 10,000 f. was a fair price. On Saturday the matter came before the Tribunal for a decision. M. Jacquand still demanded Io,ooof. ; but the Tribunal, after the pleading of M. Blanchet, fixed the price at B,ooof, and condemned Mr. Heald to pay that sum. The costs , were ordered to be divided between the parties.—Galignant Messenger. On Thursday a labouring man of this town found a pocket-book containing a cheque for 1,1691.
