The Applications for S'utres in this Company being upwards of 200,000, the Provisional Committee have been compelled to delay the allotthent, in order to make the necessary inquiries respecting the applicants. The letters of the allotment will be issued this week, and the Com mittee have to request that those parties who may not receive an allotment will accept this general answer to their applications the same time, the Committee much regret that so many applica tions of great respectability have necessarily been omitted, and: ail greatly abridged.

The names of the Provisional Committee, together with a MI prospectus, will be published in all the Morning and Railway News papers of Saturday next. The Shareholders in the Trent Valley ContinneiOn and Holyhead Junction Railway will have preference in the allotment of Shares in this Company. Applications for Shares may be addressed to the Provisional Com mittee, at the Office of their Solicitor, John Bethel!, Esq., 78, King William-street; City, London. GRAND UNION RAILWAY. An Extension of the ,GRAND ITAION RAILW tY is deter mined upon, from Nottingham to'theTerminus .of the intended Manchester and Buxton Railway, at Anther Oate. The line will traverse the Great Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire coal-field, run ning from the Amber Gate-sta'ion through or near Ilartsey, Ripley, Codnor, Ileanor, Eastwood, Ilkeston, Trowel], Wollaton, and Radford, to the town of Nottingham, and thus passing through a densely populated district, inexhaustible in its mineral resources, and from whence an immense degree of local traffic must be de rived, it will complete, by its junction with the Grand Union and the Manchester and Buxton lines, a direct communication between the eastern and north-western parts of the Kingdom. As this line was originally a part of the plan contemplated by the promoters of the Grand Union Railway, anti was merely postponed until it should be ascertained that the Manchester and Buxton Company would carry - out their scheme of extension to Anther Gate, a preference will be given, in the allotment of shares, to the holders of shares in the Grand Union Railway. A Provisional Committee is formed, and a detailed prospectus will be issued in a fow days ; and in the meantime, communications may be made to the Provisional Committee, through their Solici tors, Messrs. W. and S. Parsons, jun„ Nottingham, of whonn further information may be obtained. 26th April, 1845. PILBROW'S ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY and CANAL PROPULSION COMPANY. Provisionally Registered. Capital 600,000 t., in 60,000 shares of 101. each. Instalment 1/. per Share. _ _ Since the issuing of the former Prospectus, the Provisional Direc tors have considered it desirable to negotiate with the Patentee for his whole right of patents, instead of confining themselves to the United Kingdom and Ireland, as originally proposed ; and the Direc tors have now the satisfaction of announcing to the public that they have agreed for the purchase of the British and Foreign right of Pil brow's Atmospheric Railroad and Canal Propulsion Patents. By this extended arrangement the Directors have obtained the patents upon much more advantageous terms for the proprietary, in consequence of which the amount of call necessary to carry out the object and intention of the Company will be greatly diminished, and the pros pect of immediate return considerably increased. _ _ _ In lieu of Five Pounds, One. Pound per share is considered ample to cover the expenses of purchase, and to lay down a line of sufficient length to prove the superiority of Pilbrow's Atmospheric principle. The arrangement of this undertaking, however. necessarily involves many changes ; the amount of capital and the number of shares must be considerably augmented, but the shares will still be continued at the same amount, viz., Ten Pound shares, to meet the wishes of the original applicants. An instalment of One Pound per share will be required on the signing of the deed of settlement. DIRECTORS. The Right Hon. the Earl of ESSEX, Chairman. The Right Hon. the Earl of Besborough.

The prominent advantages of this syztem of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed u on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by another, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and it is confidently expected that a stationary engine every ten miles will be sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with perfect efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile; two:mains or lines can, on this plan, be laid for little more than the cost of one, upon the other plans ; and a saving or working in annual expense of two-thirds. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, &c. The objects of the Company will be to dispose of foreign patents ; to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under contracts with the different Companies ; and to lay down an experimental line in the neighbour hood of•the metropolis, by agreement with an existing company or otherwise. The income derivable from these sources offers considerable advan tages, while the expenses, with the exception of the purchase of the patents, and laying down the experimental line, arc obviously small. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to th,, foot, may be seen at work on Wednesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock, at the Company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of the Company.

The very large number of applicants for shares in this Company necessarily precludes the Pro visional Directors from communicating by means of letter with each individual, and compels them to adopt the medium of an advertise ment.

This undertaking, in connexion with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway and its tributaries; will bring the. important mineral, agri cultural, and grazing districts of Furness and West Cumberland (hi therto for the most part isolated) into immediate and direct commu nication with the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and York shire, and will form a continuous line of railway between the east and west coasts, viz.: from Hull and the other neighbouring ports on the Baltic, to Whitehaven and the other ports on the Irish Sea, and it will afford the only safe and sure means of transit, irrespective of tides, from the town and port of Ulverston with Lancashire north of Sands, to all other parts of England. . The line is intended to diverge from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Miinthorpe, which, admitting of a near approach to the foot of the Lakes of Winandermere and Coniston, may be deemed the most eligible route to Ulverston. _ _ A preliminary survey has been made, and it has been ascertained by the engineers that the line may be so constrlcted as not to affect injuriously the residences or ornamental property of the land-. owners in the district.

HARN EY, of Bath, formerly Sur geon in the East India Company's Service, recommends to the Public his Family Pills. . _ The great benefits resulting from an efficacious household medicine must be manifest to all. This medicine is not put forward as a cure for every complaint, but in those cases of sudden and temporary ill ness so frequently occurring In families, it will be found of singular service, as its operation Is extremely mild, as well as effectual. The large and steadily increasing sale of these Pills, princi pally from the recommendations of those who have expe rienced their salutary qualities, is the best proof of their. ex cellence. A few doses will convince those suffering ffom Indi gestion, from whatever cause arising, that their effects are perma nent. They remove obstructions of the bowels ; act upon the kid neys, stimulating the absorbents to carry off those fluids which might otherwise terminate in Dropsy. They hove been found of infinite service, both in England and during Dr. Harvey's practice in the East Indies, in preventing and caring the Jaundice ; in passing off Gall Stones and restoring a healthy action to the Liver.

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT has of late taken great interest in the breeding of the Llama, from which a very fine wool is obtained. The Cloth made of this is of a peculiarly soft and agreeable texture, and as some curiosity has been raised by the announcement Of the registry of a coat under the new Act, byMessrs. NICOLL, of REGENT-STREET, TAILORS to the COURT, it may be marked that such was made of this material. The coat Itself Is termed the REGISTERED PALETO C, and in its appearance there .1s nothing very singular, beyond a very gentlemanly neatness, and an absence of all unsightly vulgarity. Upon being submitted at Court it met with high appro bation.—Morning Post, April 19. Amongst the registration of designs according to the new Act, that of a coat is to be found. The notion of securing the particular sub stance and cut of a coat is certainly a new one, but it speaks well for the working .-of an Act which _thus secures the profit of a good judgment and well-directed ingenuity to those to whom alone it is due.—The Times, April 4. The REGISTERED PALETOT, Two Guineas. 114, Regent street, London. GOVERNMENT PROTECTION; under 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 65, for three years, obtained by'H. J. and D. NICOLL, COURT TAILORS, 114, REGENT-STREET, London, for their new introduction, the REGISTERED PALETOT, which is a summer overcoat, light in weight, embracing the convenience and comfort of the wrapper of tweed and its Moderate price, without its inelegant and universally-admitted common appearance. The ma terial is of a peculiar softness, made expressly of the finest Llama Wool, and in its fashion is neither trop neglige nor trop habille, but whilst showing to advantage the proportions of the figure, it cannot encnmber free movement, worn riding or walking: it will also, from the neatness of its form, admit of its being used as a light Frock Coat —a desirable advantage in our warmest summer months, or abroad where heat is found oppressive. H. J. and H. NICOLL, sensitive to the importance of that rade mecum—a moderately-light overcoat in a climate so changeable as that of Great Britain—would not submit to the public the Registered Paletot till themselves were satisfied of its being perfect, and that when used as a pardcssus, riding or walking, or as summer frock, the above firm might pledge a reputation, which, gained by matured skill and honoured by royal patronage, is of some standing. This they can do with safety, as their new introduction, they respectfully submit, will not compromise that characteristic of an English gentleman — the unassumed neatness of his attire. As a wide extended sale is sought, the very moderate price of Two Guineas is fixed. Respectable firms will alone be treated with relative to an agency for the sale of the "Registered Paletot, to whom alone a discount can kept ready in the extensive W areroems, 114, R EGENT-STREET_ be allowed.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. fIEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the testo six ,years' trial.

All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived from the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Dr. Wow , ' then commenced his address, and said that, before stating to them the motives of his journey to Bokhara, or entering into its details, he must there make a most de cisive declaration, in order to quiet the anxieties of the friends of the victims on whose account he had undertaken the jour ney. That brave and valiant officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Conolly, and the brave, excellent, and religious Captain Stod dart, have been put to death by the order of the King of Bukhara. Many others, among whom were six English officers and an Italian nobleman, have also met with the same melancholy fate. He then proceeded to say that his object in undertaking such a journey was, that he might put into practice the knowledge which he acquired from the religion of Jesus—that mere preaching the Gospel was not enough, but that he would be ready at any time to lay down his life fur the brethren. He was not en Englishman by birth, but lie was naturalised as such by his late Majesty George the Fourth. Having heard that these English officers were im prisoned in Bokhara, he was determined to go, and if pos sible to effect their liberation. It was in 1841 he first heard the report that Captain Stoddart was a prisoner there, and having been himself in Bukhara in 1832, and having while there received the kindest treatment from the present King and his prime minister, and the whole nation, he doubted not but he would succeed in the enterp r ise h e had resolved upon. He had heard after that an account in the news papers of their murder, but he did not believe it, and he wished to go there to ascertain the truth. Captain Grover promised him his assistance, and if necessary that he would go with him to Bokhara. A Committee was then formed, and it was decided that the Government shotskrbe applied to for every assistance they could reader. He must there, also, take the opportunity o t giving his most cordial thanks for the assistance which had been obtained. And his acknowlegments were especially due to the British Ambassador at Constantinople, Sir Stratford Canning—the Commander-in-Chief at Malta—the Prime Minister at Te heran, and Sir James Graham. No idea could be formed of the excitement which his journey caused at Malta, and in deed wherever he went. When he was at Malta, Sir Edward Owen most kindly gave him letters of introduction to his friends in Athens, where he was also very warmly received by King Otho and his Queen, who wished every success to his undertaking. After some delay at Athens, he then set out for Constantinople, and on his arrival there every account he received of Colonel Conolly and Captain Stoddart was favourable—they were still alive. He was the more con firmed in the belief that that this was the fact from having met with Captain Layard, a traveller, who informed him that he had lately received an account from Bukhara that Captain Stoddart was still alive. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to state that Sir Stratford Canning obtained for him letters of introduction from the Sultan and his Prime Minister to the Pachas of Jerusalem, Trebizond, and the Governors of other Pachalics on his route, and that the most active interest was taken in his success by the Austrian Ambassador and other influential persons at Constantinople. He sat out from Constantinople on the 24th November, in an Austrian steamer, furnished with a telescope and a pair of compasses, kindly provided by Sir Stratford Canning, and he arrived at Trebizond on the 24th December following. The Rev. Gentleman here detailed the particulars of his journey from Trebizond to Teheran, during which lie met with the most cordial reception wherever he went—post-horses and every other requisite for his journey being provided without a penny expense to him. The only danger he experienced at this stage was from being overtaken one day by a heavy shower of snow, by which ten people were killed. The Rev. Gentleman here detailed the particulars of an interview he had with the person who had imprisoned him twelve years ago, and who was now himself in a dungeon. His name was Mahomet Khan, and he was said to have made slaves of no less than 60,000 people, whom he had overpowered in that country. From the cruelty which he exhibited to them he was called the " Head-tearer." He (the Rev. Mr. Wolff) escaped from him at the time he had referred to without suffering any other loss than that of his money. He did not wish to reprove him in the state in which he then saw him, and the unfortunate man appeared most anxious to do all in his power to serve him. He told him (Mr. Wolff) not to go en without having letters of intro duction to the King ofPersia, and it would be well for him to take a man from the Viceroy along with him to the Kim: of Bokhara. When he arrived at Teheran he was received in the kindest manner by Colonel Slid, who was then Charge d'Affaires at that city: He told him that his Majesty the King of Persia wished to see him, and had all the letters for Bokhara ready for him, and would give him an audience next day. He (Mr. Wolff) was quite surprised to find that his Majesty recollected him, and all the particulars connected with his former visit to his dominions. The Rev- Gentleman having received letters of introduction to the King of Persia and the Prime Minister to the different governors through whose dominions his route lay, proceeded on his journey, from Teheran, in the month of 'February. He had apprehended that the dangers which beset his journey in the territory adjoining Persia would be even greater than any he was likely to meet with in llokhara itself, for the year 1831 the greatest fanaticism prevailed amongst the inhabi tants against the Christians, and so completely regard less were they of the rights of humanity to others,' that they sold one another as slaves. He, however, disregarded all the persuasions that were used to induce him to give up his undertaking, and resolutely determined to " put his trust in the name of the Lord, who made both heaven and earth" (Psalm 127), and to persevere. To his agreeable disappointment, his fears were groundless. The war of Affghanistan had effected that good. He must state, although opposed to that war, it hail had the effect of causing the name of " Englishman, to be not only feared, but respected in every extremity of these territories. He could not help feeling amused when he heard the names of Major Pottinger and other gallant officers mentioned by the natives. They also made mention of Stoddart, as a most gallant officer, and there was another name repeated, which from the peculiarity of their pronunciation he could not for a long time make out; but which, after considerable difficulty, he at last found to be Shakespeare. Every house was glad to receive him, and having at last arrived at the house of the Governor, he was informed by him that he had heard that Captain Conolly and Colonel Stoddart were still alive. He then continued his journey, and arrived at a place where they desired him to sleep in the Mosque, and upon his expressing a disinclination to avail himself of their kindness, they told him that they looked upon him as an English Dervise, and, therefore, considered they were only acting in accordance with what was due to him in permitting him to do so. He then continued his journey till he came to a place which was a resort for pilgrims from Hindustan, Persia, and Bagdad, and here he heard the most discouraging statements respecting the individuals in quest of whom lie had undertaken so much labour. One rumour was that Stoddart: was murdered, but that Conolly was still alive; and another that both were alive; and another that both were dead. He was determined, however, to persevere till he ascertained the truth. To one distinguished person among them, who used his best exertions to dissuade him from proceeding, and who implored him for the sake of God not to go on to Bokhara, for that if ever h e (D r. W o lff ) came back he would permit him to cut off his beard. He re plied, that whether he ran the risk of cutting off his beard or not, lie would go on. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to give an account of the conflicting statements re specting Colonel Conolly and Captain Stoddart, which he continued to hear as he proceeded on his journey. At the next stage of his journey, D ow l a l i, a cur i ous l oo ki ng man, came to him, the brother of the party in Bokhara who had instigated the King to put every European to death that came that way. He inquired if he (Dr. Wolff) was going to Bokhara ? to which a reply was given in the affirmative. He then asked if he had letters from her Majesty the Queen of England? to which lie (Dr. Wolff) replied that he had not, but that he had letters from the Sultan of Constanti nople, and from his Prime Minister; also letters from the King of Persia, addressed to the Mullahs of Bokhara. To this it was rejoined that all would be of no avail—they would go for nothing—for that as soon as he (Dr. Wolff) arrived at the frontier of the kingdom, they would bind his eyes, chain his limbs, and in that state take him to Bukhara, where, on the second das' after his arrival, he would be mur dered, as had been Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly be fore. He (Dr. Wolff ) asked him how he knew that? when he replied that Colonel Stoddart ana ca r iii uonoliy had arrived at Bokhara with letters from Sir John 11PNeill, but that the King said the letters were good for nothing and threw them into prison. This person further iuformed him (Dr. 'Wolff) that Colonel Stoddart had written to London for documents to show that he was an accredited agent of the Queen of England, but that no answer had come to hand—no letters had been received—except one from the Governor-General of India, intimating that Caubul was destroyed, and further stating that these two persons (Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly) were innocent travellers. The ;Cif g got angry at this, and immediately after put them to death. Why, then (continued this person to him, Dr. Wolff be so foolish as to go to Bokhara ? His answer was, ‘• I shall go ;" and he desired the party in questicn to leave the room. On this person leaving another one came, a merchant in the town, who informed him that there was a person residing there whh had been an agent of Colonel Stoddart , and whhaorlse, re ceived from that Gallant Officer sixteen Cashmere which he had pawned for a sum of money, and thetwitishw pro eceds taken gardens and land; and who , besides h had kept back several letters sent by him (Dr. Wolff), a s also letters sent by the sultan of Constantinople two years ago, and letters from the Jews in London (one of which was from Sir Moses Montefiore), to the Jews of Bokhara. He sent . for this person, de and he immediately came. He l ;: i s fn a in er i i r g e i d ng ; l f he had in looking little fellow. He ( his possession any letters fronr r the Sultan to the King of Bok.. hare ? At first he answered No, but afterwards admitted that lie had, and said he would bring them to-morrow. He (Dr. Wolff) insisted that he should bring them immediately. He made similar inquiries respecting the letters to the Jews of Bokhara. These also, after some difficulty, and after a threat that the Sultan would, be informed if he refused, he consented to pro. duce. lie produced several loiters, one of which was from Sir Moses Montefiore, enclosing one hundred toumans for Colonel Stoddart. On being asked why he had not forwarded the let ter: to their proper destination, his answer was that he appre hended danger. On being asked what he had done with the shawls, he said that he had forwarded them to Colonel Shiel. Having parted with this person, he (Dr. Wolff) called up on the Viceroy of the place, t o w h om h e was introduced as a holy man—a dervish from England. The viceroy received him very kindly, and, after an interim, gave him a guard to Bok hara. The head of the party assigned to this office was a most horrid character, one of the ferocious tribe of Mirvi, and a descendant of Gengis Khan. He paid this person in ad vance one hundred toumans, and he had handy gone twenty miles before he demanded more money. The Rev. Dotter here described how this person, during the remainder of the journey, continued to annoy him in a similar way for money, and bow, on two :occasions, he (Dr. Wolff) had been unc'er the necessity of sending back messengers to the Viceroy of Dowlah, complaining of the extortions which this person was practising. Answers to both these messages were returned to the offending party, condemnatory of his conduct, without effecting any change for the better. After describing several' other difficulties encountered on the journey, and also of his meeting another person who knew Stoddart and Conolly, and who stated that they had both been executed, the ilev. Doctor at last arrived at Bokhara. On his arrival within twenty miles of the city, the king's chamberlain i came to him, and, after mutual salutations, conveyed t him tc I L fine house, and placed - before him a host of sweetmea ts which had been sent to him from the King , accompanied by a IneS FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES ADDRESSED TO THE SECRETARY.

Price Is. i {~ f ~ f~~ ~- age, intimating his sincere respect for him (Dr. Wolff) On his arrival in the streets of Bokhara, there were at keen 100,000 people assembled, who received him in them ie manner, shouting nut" Welcome, Welcome," "Peace be upon you."—(Cheers.) He was then taken before the " King o Kings" as the King of Bokhara is styled; but, before receiv ing audience, he was asked if he would get down from his horse and bow before the King three times, 'evoke his beard, and exclaim " Peace to the King." He (Dr. W.) replied that he would not only do so three times, but twenty times, if required. He was then received by the King, and after bowing above twenty times, the King said, " Enough, enough," and ad. dressed him in the following terms, " Thou man original— thou man with the star-like tail (a comet), you must go and lay your address before my Minister of Foreign Affairs." The Rev. Doctor then proceeded to describe his interview with the Mi nister to whom he was referred—in which he informed that official of the reasons that had induced him to visit Bokhara, the belief that Col. Stoddart and Capt. Conolly were not dead, but imprisoned. " I wish to know," said the Rev. Gentleman," if they are alive, and if so, 1 desire that they may be given up to me ; if they are dead, I wish to know the reasons why their lives were sacrificed." The interview ended with out leading to any satisfactory result, and at the ter mination of it he was taken to the house where Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly had lived while in Bokhara, and a guard placed upon the door. Next morning he was waited upon by the king's chamberlain, accompanied with another officer, and a writer. The chamberlain, in a very pompous manner, said he had come from the King to ask two questions—first, if he could raise the dead? and second, whether he knew when the day of judgment would take place ? He (Dr. Wolff) replied, " God is great, and he alone can raise the dead—to me he has never given the power. With respect to the resurrection, the Scriptures say that Jesus will come to judge the world, but I cannot say what may be the day or the hour." Having received this answer, and after making some inquiries about the dress which he (Dr. Wolff) wore, the cham berlain and his companions retired. On their leaving, three soldiers were placed at the door, and he heard from without th e remarks of the p eop l e , saying t hat he was doomcd to be an. other victim. He was next taken before the Nazedan of Bokhara, who received him in the most cordial manner, and who had served up, on his account, a splendid breakfast in the European style. The information, respecting Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly, received during this interview, was, that they had been considered as two spies, being without letters, and in consequence put to death. The Nazedan de scribed their first coming to Bokhara. Colonel Stoddart came first, and on being introduced to the king, instead of bowing, according to the usual custom, he resisted and drew his sword. He was afterwards thrown into prison, where he re canted the Christian faith, and became Maheinetan, and again, after a short time, relapsed into his old belief. He represented himself as expecting letters from England, but for 1 4 months none arrived from any quarter but one from Lord Ellenborough. Matters were in course of reconciliation when Captain Conolly came and upset every thing. He was without letters. The two now began to send letters privately away to CaubUl and .Persia, - and also- letters to excite war between Khiva and Cowan. These proceedings excited suspicion and they ware put to death by having their throats cut. Before suffering they kissed each ether, when Capt. Conollf said, " Fearnothing, Steddart, we go to P ara di se , t o Jesus! ' Colonel Stoddart, looking at the executioner, said, " Tell your tyrant, I die a Christian. I am no believer in Mahomet." After this inter view he (Dr. Wolff) still being dissatisfied with the informs.. tion received respecting the object of his mission, and refusing to take his departure, was watched in the strictest manner. Every word he spoke was taken to the King. Fortunately the Jews of the city were allowed to visit him, and he resorted to a stratagem, in order to deceive those who were appointed to watch him. He ma naged to arrange with these Jews that common conversation should be carried on with them in Persian, but that on any ex traordinary or particular matter, he and the party speaking with him should each take out a book, and pretend to read in Hebrew, in question and answer. The Reverend Doctor here gave a specimen of this mode of defeating the tyrant of Bokhara, which excited much laughter anti applause in the meeting. Tired out with the delay, he at last, in an interview with Abdool Samid Khan, the King's Lieutenant, and the brother of the Persian whom he had seen at Dowlah, charged the latter with having caused the putting of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly to death. He admitted having mureer.,4 them, and this admission made, he surround el him (Dr. Wolff) with his soldiers, and forced him to write oat an acknowledgment that he owed him (Abdool Samid Khan), the sum of 6,000 thalers, for services rendered At last, letters having arrived from the King of Persia, request ing his (Dr. Wolff's) liberation, he was set at liberty, and shortly after he was allowed to appear before the King, who placed round him, as a robe of honour, a rich Cashmere shawl, gave him a hundred ducats, made him a present of a horse with silver mountings, and even wanted to send him an ambassador to bear him company on the way. He said to him (Dr. Wolff ) " You are a wise man, and a man of di sere ti on , an d I will send you back with honours." The King further informed him that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly might have been well-intentioned men, but that they had acted very im prudently while in Bokhara. They were stated to have been killed iii 1843, and not in 1842, as had been supposed. After describing very briefly his taking leave of Bokbara, the Rev. Gentleman concluded his address amidst great cheers, having addressed the meeting for two hours and a half. The Rev. Mr. SiPTODDA RT, brother of Colonel Stoddart, next addressed the meeting, and expressed his high admiration of Dr. Wolff's Christian conduct in undertaking se hanardous an expedition. He then proceeded to defend his brother, at some length, from the charge of being a mere soldier, and gave several instances in which he had distinguished him self for literary acquirements and diplomacy. He con cluded by declaring that Captain Grover had made most false and cruel assertions respecting his brother, in the book which he had published on the subject. This unexpected attack,which produced the greatest excitement in the meeting, called up Captain GROVER, who said that it was with great pain that he had originally entered int* this matter. In 1841, when it was believed that Colonel Stoddart was dead, a belief which he did not anticipate in, and when hie family mourned for him, The Hey. Mr. STODDART here shouted out, " We did not mourn for him. There have been many false statements, and that is one of them."--(Cries of " Chair, chair," hisses, and great uproar, which was with difficulty suppressed by the chairman.) Captain GROVER then proceeded, and at some length fur nished a very clear history of his connexion with this affair, which gave great satisfaction to the meeting, and was received with great cheering. Yet, for all his exertions (he concluded) he had never received the thanks of a single relative of the deceased. Captain RANDALL, another relation, spoke to the question, and thought the Rev. Mr. Stoddart had acted, in an impro- per manner, and ought to apologise. The Rev. Gentleman, however, persisted in his opinion re specting the contents of the book ; and, after the Chairman, Mr. 8. Buckingham and Dr. Wolff had spoken condemnatory of the terms which the rev. gentleman had used, the subject dropped. Resolutions were then passed, thanking Captain Grover and Dr. Wolff for their exertions, and agreeing to raise sums of money to indemnify Captain Grover for his advances towards tke mission, and to present a testimonial to the Rev. Dr. Wolff for his courage, perseverance, and intrepidity. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, when the meeting separated. ESSEX AND SUFFOLK RAILWAY.—ENLARGEMENT or LINE AND CAPITAL.—We are glad to learn that the Directors of this highly popular project have de termined to include Cavendish and Clare by a short branch, and in order to be able to do so, and meet any increase in the price of iron, have determined to raise the capital to one million, by issuing in all 40,000 shares, instead of 30,000, as heretofore intended. We should hope this increase will have the further effect of di minishing the dissatisfaction expressed by many, of not getting anything like the number of shares they ap plied for, and still more who have not got any at all. As there does not appear to be a single dis sentient among the owners and occupiers along the whole line, it is natural that there should be a great local demand for shares, and we think the Directors will do wisely to encourage this local de mand by allotting to those who desire to invest for a per manency, rather than to those who wish to speculate in the share market. The promised support of the Eastern Counties Railway Company by their very talented en gineer, Mr. Braithwaite, and the success that has at tended their own acting engineer, in his Cambridge and Lincoln line, Mr. Bazalgette, have added much to the public appreciation of this project.—Esser Herald. HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCIIPOLE, THE SUFFOLK GIRL.—We understand that, in consequence of the very great interest excited by this publication, which is edited by the Rev. R. Cobbold, of Wortham, Suffolk, and from the circumstance of the story having been dramatiscd at several theatres, the first edition is entirely exhausted • a nd at the suggestion of nume r ous persons interested in the account of the heroine's extraordinary life and adventures, and who have been disappointed is pro ' curing copies, the publisher has been induced to issue a new (Anion compressed into two volumes, with the.i a llt..- trations, price only _ lov In th;. sue work win, no aouos, amain the large circulation which it deserves, not less from the vivid excitement afforded by its startling details, than from the instructive moral to be derived from its pages. THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR MAY.—The '• Passages in the Lives of Celebrated Statesmen of Europe," publishing in the .New Monthly Magazine, which have attracted so much attention in the political world, are in the number of that popular periodical for May, illustrative of the career of that illustrious diplo matist, Prince Metternich. It is impossible that a subject of greater interest could have been found—this great man being not only the tutelary genius of Austria, but one of the master-spirits of the age, in whose hands are the destinies of nations. The author of these clever papers has evidenly been behind the scenes where, though kings were the actors, the prompter was a Met ternich, and lie afforded the reader glimpses as extraor dinary as they arc entertaining of the rehearsals for the important political dramas that have had Europe for a stage, and the world for an audience. The particulars of the career of Prince Metternich will be found extremely interesting, and are believed to corii.?in many startling incidents and piquant anecdotes hitherto unkiown to the general reader.
