The public is informed that arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company for the purpose of establishing a General Railway Terminus on the site of Ilungerford-market and wharf, 1)y adapting the Suspension-foot-bridge as a means of transit for the railway carriages into the market. The proprietors of the market and the bridge are the only persons whose property will be required for the purpose, and those Companies arc favourably disposed to a scheme so manifestly advantageous to their interest. The situa tion of the proposed station is unequalled ; and, as remarked by the Board of Trade in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap proach to the metropolis, it will afford the most superior London terminus. A prospectus, with further details, will shortly be issuei. WEST METROPOLITAN AND HUNGER FORD-MA PI KET RAILWAY TER MINUS COMPANY. In reply to the caution put forward by the London Central Railway Termintis Company, stating "that the Bridge and Market Companies being separate interests, the latter Company cannot carry out their project without the Hill concurrence of the Hungerford-bridge Com pany," it is proper to state that the Ilungerforil-market Company and its Proprietors are holders of more than one-third of the Hunger ford-bridge shares; that the area of the market property is amply sufficient for all the purposes of a terminus ; is unequalled in its loca lity and approaches for railway purposes; and, as remarked by the Board of Trade, in their report of schemes for facilitating the ap proaches to the Metropolis—" it will afford the most superior London terminus." The market property, from its construction, will require bat a comparatively small outlay to adapt it for a railway terminus ; probably, not more than one-third of the capital proposed to be raised by the London Central Railway Terminus Company; and one of the many advantages which the scheme of the West Metropolitan and Hungerford-market Railway Terminus possesses is, that it will not have to encounter the great uncertainty and expense of such an op position as must inevitably attend the project of the London Central Railway Terminus, which clearly cannot he carried into effect with out interfering, in the most serious manner, with the interests and property of the Hungerferd-market Company, as well as numerous Individual interests. The proposed West Metropolitan and Hunger ford-market Railway Terminus will, on the contrary, only have to make arrangements with the Bridge Company. A. L.

Encouraged by the recent increase of business in the Sale and Transfer of Shares in the various public Companies, British and Foreign, and acting undor the advice of friends, capitalists, and Directors of Companies, Messrs. LAMOND and Co., Licensed Auctioneers, have deemed the additional occupation thus created, together with the late abolition of the auction duties, a fit oppor tunity for opening a separate and independent practice, to which they have determined to devote their undivided attention, declining all other business for this express purpose, viz.—" For the Sale by Auction of Shares in Railways, British and Foreign; Assurance, Minlne, and Canal Companies; Joint-Stock Banks, Debentures, Bonds, &c., &c. ;"—in short, of every description of Interest con nected with the numerous Companies formed and now forming in the commercial world. In arriving at this determination, it will be the anxious desire of Messrs. Ltunond and Co. to give every information and satisfaction to their friends and the public; and looking at the probable magni tude of operations yielding adequate remuneration, they have re solved to adopt a low scale of ad valorem charge by way of Commis sion, and where Sales are not effected, a small fee (merely sufficient to cover the expenses of „printing, advertising, &c., &c.) for putting up the lots. . - - As all Scrip and Share Certificates must be deposited for examina tion at least one day previous to their being offered to public compe tition, Messrs.

Offices of the Company, No. 2, Moorgate-street, City. This Company is established for the manufacture and sale of the Concentrated Essences of Tea and Coffee under Staite's Patent, by licence from the Patentee. The advantages peculiar to the process for which this patent has been granted, are very numerous; but among the most prominent is this, that while the properties of the material are completely ex tracted. its available quantity is augmented, and its virtues improved. . . The distinctive qualities tithe Essence obtained are, the retention of the identical flavour and fragrance of the particular Tea or Coffee used, and a degree of strength secured before unknown. The method employed in preparing aid putting up these Essences. secures them against injury from the lapse of time and change of climate, affords the greatest possible facility for portability and im mediate use, and se reduces the price to the consumer, that economy itself furnishes an ample guarantee for their extensive use. One teaspoonful of the Essence, in a cup of boiling water, will be sufficient for the instantaneous production of a cup of tea or coffee of the finest quality. ' ' The following certificate from Dr. Ure is, with satisfaction, sub joined : " I hereby, certify, that Staite's Patent Essence of Tea is a pure and wholesome beverage; and that is is extracted by a peculiar process, which, while it excludes in a great measure, the bitter and astringent matter always present in the teapot. preserves and refines all the exhilarating and aromatic principles of the Chinese herb. Being put up in Mr. Rand's Collapsible Tubes of pure tin, it will keep un changed for any length of time. (Signed) "ANDREW URE, M.D., FRS., "Analytical Chemist to the Board of Customs, &c., &c." The Committee have also thought it right to have the samples of the Essences submitted to high and unbiassed authorities is the Tea Trade. The following testimonial from a well-known and eminent judge is the result : " W. J. Bland having tested the samples of the concentrated Es sence of Tea, manufactured under Staite's Patent, pronounces them clean, full and perfect. " By whatever process the Extract is obtained, the aroma is finely preserved, and without the crude er fibrous property which ordinary methods of maceration or evaporation would exhibit ; the distinctive flavours of Pekoe, Souchong, Congou, Sce., are completely preserved, so that even critical judges of the article would not be able to tell any number of cups of the diluted Essence apart from others infused after the common method. This result may be regarded as tke acme of the invention, and its greatest protection and recommenda tion. _ _ "The Coffees, extracted after the same patent, are rich and aro matic in flavour, and brilliant in colour: perfectly pellucid, without the slightest sediment—whilst the distinguishing properties of the Mocha, the Mountain Berry, and other known peculiarities, are so naturally doveloned as not to be mistake.. ,uininereud Sale Kaolin., LOnautt, Mayl7, 1843:" Prospectuses, with full particulars, and forms of application for shares (a portion of which aro reserved for the trade) may be obtained of the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, 2 Moorgatc-street, City, where samples may be seen and tasted.

The Epsom Races terminated yesterday, and, apart from the two principal events, the sport they afforded was of indifferent character, and the attendance, whether patrician or plebeian, less numerous than usual. For the inferior quality of the majority of the races we can not easily account, and if we tried to do se our opinion would be contested ; but we may safely impute the paucity of the com pany to tke lowering appearance of the weather each morning of the week. Few calculate, that though it may rain in town it may be exceedingly fine a dozen miles distant, yet so it hap pened to be every day after the races execept on Thursday. Notwithstanding we have rarely seen the Oaks run for with fewer spectators. There were hardly two hundred vehicles of any sort upon the Course. The line of horsemen on either side the chains barely extended beyond the Grand Stand, and in the balconies of that edifice, and at its base, we do not think there were three hundred spectators, of whom about twenty or less were ladies. When we arrived at Epsom about an hour be fore noon on the Derby day, we found it more than tolerably thronged, and the Spread Eagle both within and without showed a busy crowd of those whose " breath is the agitation" of the race course. Yesterday the scene had changed, and the town was quieter than it would be even on a well attended market day. On the steps of the Spread Eagle, and in the area in front, there were only a few dozen persons, nearly all sporting characters of high and low degree. An hour before the prin cipal race, the betting ring on the hill seemed to be as thickly filled as on Wednesday; and business was carried on with an energy that proved how comfortably the professional specula tors had got over the Derby. At:two o'clock the bell for clearing the course rang, and the numbers on it being so few it was speedily cleared, and , easily kept so. At twenty minutes to three the careering of eques trians from the betting ring, and from behind Sir Gilbert Heathcote's training stables in the direction of the " Corner," r , announced the approaching start, and in about five minutes afterwards, the bell told that it had taken place, and soon those about the winning -post saw the competing cavalcade swiftly crowning the hill, the colours of the jockey caps and jackets sparkling in the sun. They were quickly round the corner, ;down the hill across the road, and in front of the grand stand there Refraction darted like a ray of light from the second rank, and snatched the Oaks prize from its compeers in the most gallant stile imaginable. It is a singular fact that she was ridden by a brother of the lad that rode l'he Merry Monaroh. Prince George of Cambridge and the Prince of SaxeWeimar were present yesterday, and so were nearly all the noble and distinguished individuals whose names appeared in our list of spectators on the Derby day. The following is a return of the sport : The Oaks Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft, for three yrs old fillies, Bst 71b each ; the second to receive 100 sovs. out of the stakes, and the winner to pay 1(10 soya. towards the police regulations of the course.

The mare, we understand, was sold on Thursday to his Lord ship, but on a hint that she might possibly be above the proper age, her mouth was examined. and found to be a very suspi cious one ; his Lordship, therefore, not only refused to ratify the purchase, but immediately objected to her starting.

A good start was accomplished at the first attempt, and, a novelty here, not mere than a quarter of an hoot after the time fixed for running. The lead was taken by Hope, Lady Wildair and Lancashire Witch following her, with Caroline, Refraction, Longitude, Miss Sftrah, and Glee in waiting on them. They ran in this way at an indifferent pace to the turn, where Caroline and Lancashire Witch were beaten. At the road Miss Sarah took the lead from Hope, and carried the running to the stand, where Refraction went up, took up the running, in creased her lead as she went on, and won easily by a couple of lengths, Hope, who had followed her, beating Miss Sarah for second by a length ; Lady Wildair a good four, Glee fifth, Si r C. Monek's filly sixth, and Longit u d e sevent h. The others were beaten off. ~~= . lT THE FIRE at RAGGETTS 110TRr,./ RESUMED INQUEST. The inquest upon the bodies of the sufferers, namely, bin% Round, aged 56 ; Mr. Raggett, aged 62; Miss Raggett, aged 37; Mrs. Jones, aged 28, and Mrs. Barnes, aged 40, was yesterday afternoon resumed before Mr. Bedford, the Coroner for West minster, at the Rising Sun, Charles.street, Grosvenor-tquare, when the fo:lowing evidence was adduced:— Mr. Henry Davies, surgeon, of Brook.stroet, Manchester.spare, said that he attended Mrs. Round in his professional capacity. H e had seen the body which had been found that day, but he was unable to identify it. His opinion, however, was, that it was not the body of Mrs. Round. He was led to that conclusion from the fact of the features being larger than those of Mrs. Round. He understood that a gentleman was present who would produce portion of the jaw.bone of the body found that day, the formation of which clearly expressed that the body was not Mrs. Round's, but in all probability it was that of Mrs. Barnes, the servant. Mr. Smith, a surgeon, produced the portion of the jaw.►one M. laded to, from an inspection of which it certainly appeared that the deceased bad very large and prominent teeth, which was not the mice with Mrs. Round. Berkunin Rich, a servant to Mr. King, a merchant of Bristol, was next examined. He said, I was in Raggett's Hotel on Monday night last, and went to bed about half-past eleven o'clock. I came with my master on Friday afternoon. I was awoke by hearing an alarm of fire, between twelve and one o'clock, when I looked out of window. I saw six or nine persons in the street at the time, who were shouting fire. I went to my bed.room door, but as soon as opened it, I found smoke and flames coming up stairs, and then went back to the window and got out of it. I hung for some time by the window frames and sill. 1 then dropped down into the balcony, and escaped from thence into the street. I held on the windows as long as possible. I did net let go my hold until my hands were badly burned. I saw bliss Raggett and Miss Round, and another party, at the next window, whilst I was hanging at the sill. Miss Raggelt said---" Oh, for God's sake, Rich, save us, or we shall be all burned to death." I saw Miss Raggett attempt to get upon the escape ; in attempting to put her foot upon the same she slipped, and fell down into the street. A Juror—How low was Miss Ra - ggett waiting for the tiro-escape? Witness—Four or five minutes. The escape was not placed exactly opposite the window, but in the middle of the two. Another Juror—How long was it before the fire. escape arri►ed t Witness—Twenty minutes. Frederick \Vm. Raggett re -examined—My opinion is, that the body found to day was that of Mrs. Barnes, one of our servants. The body was found in the ruins, near to` where my father was sleeping. My impression therefore is, that she went into his room to arouse him, and that, being overpowered with the smoke, she fell down. The floor having given way will account for the body being found in the position it was. Mrs. Round, I should say, was about S feet 8 inches, and more corpulent, but not so large boned as Mrs. Barnes. A Juror—What was the width between the two windows on the second floor ? Witness—About four feet. Henry Raggett examined—l am a clerk in the servise of Mt. Smitzwick, a civil engineer. On the night of Monday last I %fa, sitting up with my brother, who was waiting for the return of two parties from the French play. About half-past twelve o'clock las companied my brother is Mrs. Round's apartments, on the second. floor. On my descending, and reaching the first-loor, I heard some one cry vet, " tire." I then saw flames issuing from the bed-room on the first-fioer. I afterwards went with my brother to fetch my mother, who was confined to her bed with a broken leg. Hay lng brought my mother down, I waited in the street for nearly 20 minutes, when the fire-escape .t last arrived. I saw a man as. cend two or three steps and then come back again. I ascended - the ladder myself, and while going up I saw a female fall into the street. I then got up, uad succeeded In saving Miss Round and her maid-servant. I do not think it was possible for them to have reached. the machine without assistance, inasmuch as I was obliged to reach out in order to get them into the escape. If a man had been with the escape, it would have been his duty to have ascended the same before 1 could have got up. The man whom I saw go a few steps up the machine and then descend again did not appear to me to belong to it; he was dressed in a plain coat. If there had been some of the ladders which are generally placed against the church walls, and they had been placed first to the balcony, and thence to the roof, I think the inmates might have been saved. I attribute the death of my sister entirely to the escape not having been placed near enough to her. Charles Robinson was next examined—l urn a waiter at the hotel termed Raggett's in Dover-street. On the night of Monday last I was in the house when the cry of fire was raised. I went and informed Colonel Bouverie and other parties. 1 met Mrs. Round on the landing of the staircase, and told her to come down, expecting that she would. I went to arouse the other parties in the house. On my running upstairs I met the Earl of Hun tingdon, who requested me to save Lord Hastings, his infant son. The flames were so strong that I could not get through them, and I then went to arouse the porter. A man who went for ladders at the Gloucester.mews was refused, and told that he must get his horses out first. Mr. Joseph Win. Welborn, of $B, Albemarle-street, was next examined—He said, on Tuesday morning, about 20 minutes be. fore one, I was passing along Dover.street, when my attention was arrested by hearing the breaking of glass. On looking round I saw that the glass fell from the first window on the first Boor nearest the southern portico. There were three ladies at the same window, and the room appeared full of smoke. One of the ladies attempted to get out, but was prevented by the others. At that time a policeman came up and sprung his rattle. Almost simultaneously x cabman came along, and I persuaded him to drive to the St. James's station for the escape. He appeared not to know where the station was, and I got up on the box, and the man drove as fast as he could to the station. On arriving there I found a man in charge of the machine, and also a policeman. One of them said the machine was locked. I spoke very severely to him, and told him to give me the keys. I told him that the loss of life would be dreadful if any more time were lost. He appeared to be quite unconscious of what he was about. On my going near the box he threatened to 'mock me down. The police man said it was no good minding what he had said, as he was drunk. At last we got the escape away, but on my going to assist he tried to push me away. Upwards of four minutes elapsed, owing to the conduct of the man at the maehiae, before the escape was got down. I should say that not more than a quarter of an hour was lost before the arrival of the machine. The young woman (Raggett) got out of one of the windows, and placing her hand on the parapet, she appeared as if she was going to lower herself down, but suddenly she sprang forward, but missed the machine and fell into the street. The Chairman of the St. James's Fire.escape Society said, after what had fallen from the last witness, the man who had charge of the escape on the night in question would be discharged imme. diately. Mr. Sampson Low, of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from Fire, said that on the night in question a messenger ar rived at the Society's station, in South Molton.street, and told the conductor to bring the escape to Dover-street. On arriving at Berkeley.square he was met by a man who told hint to take the 4 19 W PacniMCF - inEl d ir /Pi r ckpreaeB,"lnV r ri t qa's t until after it was too late to render any assistance that the mistake was found out. A meeting will be held at Willis's Rooms next week, in order that the matter might be further investigated. Mr. Braidwood, superintendent of the Brigade, said that each engine always carried two lengths of scaling-ladders, each six and a half feet in length. They were so constructed as to form an escape of great length by being connected together. Mr. Superintendent Bereeford, in answer to a question from a juror, said that the instructions of the police were to call the engines, turncocks, and fire-escapes, but the first object was to do all they can to save life. This being the whole of the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," in each case, adding, " they request that the Coroner will write to Sir James Graham, her Majesty's Sem, tarn of State for the Home Department, for the purpose of calling attention to the evidence given at this inquest, in order that the Government may take some means of preventing, in future, such an awful sacrifice of human life." THE CASE OF JAMES DEAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUfy. 7, Upper Belgrave-street, May 30, 1845. SlR,—Seeing:in the Times of to-day a letter from Mr. Weston and an editorial article, both of which are calculatod to mislead the public as to the liberation of poor James Dean from Reading gaol, I think it my duty to mention the real circumstances of the case. In consequence of a letter written by myself on Saturday last, of which I annex to you a copy, his daugkter.in-law came to my house on Monday evening, and she having in its worst features confirmed the report of the case in the Times, my servant, on Tuesday, went down with her to Reading gaol, where he found poor Dean in solitary coefinement, in a felon's dress, pumping water and picking oakum, and dieted upon gruel, which in dis gust he had poured down a sink in the earlier part of his im prisonment. My servant paid the fine of 101. I Is. to the governor of the gaol, and having given poor Dean 21. for himself, returned with him to Windsor, therefore the statement " that he (Mr. Simmons) and Captain Bulkeley went to the prison, the Berks eelpty gaol, and liberated poor Dean forthwith," is totally at earl ace torch truth, neither of these gentlemen having been present, or having had anything whatever to do in the matter; in fact Dean was at Windsor long before they could have become acquainted with his liberation. I am told that Dean is a very intelligent, well-informed person, and likely to be able to give some useful evidence as to the cranes occasioned by them, if summoned as a witness by the Committee now sitting upon the game-laws; it is therefore my intention to speak to Mr. Bright on the subject. I shall feel obliged by the insertion of these letters in your paper of to.morrow (Saturday).—l am, Sir, your very obedient servant, JOHN COLLETT. u 7, Upper Belgrave-street, London, May 24, 1845. "Sir,—l observe by the Times of to-day that you have been sent to prison and to hard labour for four months, at the suit of Prince Albert, for having offered to sell some pheasants and some phea sants' eggs. . _ " As I disapprove of game.laws, and of all proceedings under them, I will release you by paying the fine of 101. I Is., it you will let me know how I can forward it to the proper quarter.

The plaintiff, on Tuesday last, executed his writ of inquiry, and his damages were assessed by the jury at 2001.; and upon the judgment for that amount he will be enabled to levy his execution on Monday, the 2d of June. " Your Committee will at an early period present a snore de tailed report than they are at present prepared to make ; but they feel it to be their duty to submit their opinion that it is advisable that a writ of error should be brought on the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench; and as the levyilig of the plaintiff's exe cution will in no respect prejudice the proceedings in the writ of error, your Committee do not deem it 'expedient to advise the House to interpose to prevent the levy.

THE LATE DUEL NEAR GOSPORT GOSPORT, FRIDAY.--Mr. Scton, the gentleman who was wounded in the late duel at brown's down by Lieutenant Hawkey, wits so much improved in health on Wednesday, that hopes were enter tained of a speedy removal to his own residence at Soutbsea, but we regret to anncun^.:, that all bore has since vanished. On Thursday the wounded gentleman became worse, and in the course of the day it was evident some unfavourable alteration had taken place. These symptoms have incieased to-day to such a fearful degree that the recovery of the patient is now pronounced hopeless. Mr. Liston has been sent for from London will all dispatch, and Is expected to arrive at Portsmouth this evening, to see if there it any chance of prolonging the life of the sufferer by an operation, the success of v. hia, however, even in the minds of the medical gentlemen, is not lucked upon as probable. Drs. Stewart, Mor timer, and Jenkins attend very regularly, and consult twice s day upon their patient. Neither Lieutenant Hawkey nor the seconds have been heard of since the warrants for their apprehension have been issued. It is reported and b. lieved they are all on the Continent. Mrs. Hawkey has left Portsm tor London, with the .
