CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTFI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in Englanc% and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 2101.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Propsals were made for in Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 12 i, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3a. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Juno last, assuran es were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3.7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,930/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to 2,991/. 15s. I Id. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbish p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parsis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab!e amount of husine's, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of th• establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects. BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHIeU MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years, has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and In corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written by John Mollard Wheeler, E;q., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi cation, will fully confirm. " I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercy,to any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they aro of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if In a later, they alleviate pain and effect a muc h speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge." Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas ['rout, 229, Strand, London," im pre.,sed unon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the •enuine Medicine.

ANOTHER FIRE AT GRAVESEND GRAVESEND, OCT. 28.—At about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon smoke was discovered by several persons passing at the time proceeding from the iron grating over the front cellar of the house No. 5, in Harmer-street, at the corner of the upper and western side of the street turning into the Crescent. So much suspicion was attached to the origin of this fire, that on the information of the police-superintendent and his officers the borough magistrates thought it incumbent on them to institute an inquiry into the matter. Accordingly, this day, Messrs. Oakes (chair. man), and Spencer, Smith, and Tickner, held an in vestigation, when the following facts were elicited. Mr. Samuel Marden, a respectable-looking elderly man, stated, after the usual caution against saying anything that might possibly tend to criminate him self, that about seven o'clock on the previous (Sun day) morning he had, with his wife, servant, and a gentleman who lodged with him, got up and pre pared to go by the train to London, but, on arriving at the station, they found themselves too late for the train. They then returned to No. 5, the house he recopied, and prepared to go by the nine o'clock boat torn the Terrace-pier. Whilst so preparing, he took a candle in a bedroom candle-stick, and went down to the cellar to get some coals and wood, to ha ye ready to make a fire when they should return in the even ing. While in the cellar he heard the bell announc ing the time of the boat's departure from the Ter race-pier ringing, and hurried up, leaving the lighted candle he did not know where in the cellar. Mr. Marden went on to give a statement of all that he alleged to have occurred between seven o'clock and the time of going by the steam-boat on Sunday morning so incoherent that it was impossible to find out from it anything that could fix the time of his and his family's departure from the house, and the origin of the fire. The following evidence was taken by the magis trates after Mr. Oakes had stated that the case of this fire, from the information of the police, was of so suspicious a character that the bench of magistrates felt it to be their duty to investigate it in the fullest possible way. The first witness called was a porter of the Diamond Steam-packet Company, who deposed that on Saturday evening, late, he was called to attend at 5, Harmer street, and to remove from there three boxes to the Diamond packet-office, to be sent up by the first boat the following morning. He removed them with the assistance of another porter, and on the following morning, at a quarter past eight o'clock, the man (a tall and thin man, not at all like Mr. Marden) who delivered the boxes to him at No. 5, came to the office, and superintended their removal to the boat about to start for London. He should know the man again if he saw him. He went by the boat on board of which the boxes were put. Mr. Marden here said that he was the last person who otherlemftanth, e w h h o o u s s e e o n n a m S e u , nd as a y h i m s o l r o n d in g e g r , a h no dcoul dthe t not recollect, had left that morning by the railway. again tnme vpiigrd ohe e ctn a ec u ened t o in eam o dgma e ti d i ont siVtis himself, state tm /a w r as s e n n it wouldo tt o say b anything e taken 1%1 Mr.r down Oakestm t Hardennh a in reply to Mr. Oakes, that he had insured his stock (haberdashery) for 250/, his furniture for 2501., and some glass cases in his shop for 50/., on or about the sth inst., through the medium of Mr. H. Newman, of Gravesend, agent for the Phoanix.office, and was also insured, but to what amount he did not mention, in the Metropolitan Insurance -office. The receipt for the premium of in surance in the Phcenix-offic e he produced, and said his wife bad it in her pocket, and that he had not preserved any other receipt, or voucher, or document whatever. Police-constable Wickham deposed that about two o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, the 27th instant, his attention was drawn to smoke issuing from the grating above the cellar window of No. 5, Harmer• street. Finding there was nobody in the house, he called for assistance, and entered the house through a window, at the rear opening into the garden. Find ing the smoke proceeding from the basement story he went down and opened a door which led into an in termediate cellar between the back and front kitchens, and which formed also a sort of lumber room. The smoke rushed with such violence out of the door that he was forced to go back, and he then went into the back kitchen, found a bucket with water in it, re turned to the cellar, and poured the water on where he saw some fire. He then had assistance, and the fire was put out. The large box now produced by him and partially burnt was the first thing he re moved out of the cellar. The smaller box he found close by the partition, with the candlestick in it as it now appeared, and with the remains cif burnt wadding extinguished by the water he had thrown on it. The candlestick was quite hot. (The candlestick, brass chamber- one, was inserted into the side, or it might be. the upper end, of the boi, of which tw6 sides or ends and the stuff contained in it were burn or 'reduced to tinder and cind er . The candlestic could by no apparent possibility have accidentally got into the position in the box in which it was found.) Witness went on to state that he found quantity of books and other combustible ma-i terials ,lying on the floor round and in contact .with the box in which the candlestick and the ex pired snuff of a candle were found by him and the - other persons who came to his assistance. In the bed rooms he found the wardrobes—three in number—all empty; doe bed was tumbled as if slept on, but there were no bedclothes but an Aid blanket and counter pane. On a bedstead in another room there was a mattress, but no bedding. In the shop he found no-: thing but a few trifling articles of little value, such as gloves and some bonnet-frames. The whole house seemed to have been left in a state of confusion, and with but little of value in it. Mr. Marden had re turned late in the night, but he (witness) had no com munication with him other than telling him how the fire was discovered. Witness had no doubt that but for the timely discovery of the fire the house would have been soon in flames. There was a quantity of broken timber, and other combustible materials, be hind the partition against which the box with the candlestick in it lay. Above the box, on a sort of shelf; was a quantity of books and papers. Some of them were partially burnt. Some of the books and papers on the floor were partially burnt. The parti tion itself was burnt through nearly up to the ceiling. It was immediately under the shop. Robert Atkins, foreman of the corporation fire engines, fully corroborated the previous witness's evi dence, as he had arrived at the spot in a few minutes after him. Mr. Henry Newman was agent to the Phcenix In surance Company. The receipt of the policy of in surance for 5501. now produced was given by him to Mr. Marden on the sth inst. The policy paper had not been sent to him yet, but the receipt bound the company to the insurance. He had surveyed the furniture insured for 2501. when he gave the receipt. Could not say what stock there was in the shop at' the time. Had not seen either furniture or stock since the discovery of the fire the day before. Thought there was a sufficiency of furniture in the house on the day he went to survey it on giving the' receipt for the policy to justify the amount of in surance. Mr. Marden, on being asked by the bench if be had anything to reply to the very serious charge now made against him, declined saying anything more at present,' further than that the witnesses tried to make out a case against him. He admitted that he had the lighted candle in the cellar, but was sure that he did not place it in the box where it was found—if it was found in it. He could not explain how it found its way there, and he could only say he was innocent of any knowledge of the cause of the fire. Mr. Oakes said the charge was one that the magis trates found themselves compelled to investigate strictly, and they would remand Mr. Marden, who was now in custody of the police, until Wednesday. The prisoner was then removed in the custody of Mr. Superintendent North, to be brought up again on Wednesday. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, New Broad-street ; Mr. Ha milton in the chair. --- The CHAIRMAN having apologised for the absence of Lord Wharncliffe, the chairman of the company, Mr. NICHOLSON, the superintending director, pro ceeded to read the report, which stated that the di rectors had little to report as to the proceedings of the company for the interval between the last half-yearly meeting and the present. During that period the monsoons had prevailed, and the operations of the en gineers in the fiel d have necessarily been almost sus pended. The surveys of the first portion of the line had, however, been completed before the rains set in ; and the period of the monsoon has been occupied with the completion of the plans, sections, estimates, and specifications. It has been determined to limit the first contract to the line between Bombay and Tannah, a distance of 21 miles, with a branch of one and a half mile in length (of a single line of rails) to the port of Mahim ; and during the construction of the works on this portion of the railway the engineers will be employed in a minute investigation of the country beyond Tannah, with a view to obtain the best line across the Ghauts, connecting the coast line of coun - try with the interior. It is of the highest importance to the success of this undertaking that the most eligi ble opening through the western Ghauts should be secured. This important point must be ascertained and determined before the works beyond the Tannah estuary can with prudence be commenced. In the meantime the question of the general route of the line in connexion with the resources of the country, is un dergoing the consideration of the Government of Bombay, whose decision the board confidently expect will be speedily pronounced. The directors are about to let the works of the line between Bombay and Tannah, if eligible offers from responsible parties can he obtained ; and these works will be pushed on with the utmost vigour and rapidity. The report of Messrs. Keating and Anderton, the auditors, stated that the manner in which the accounts have been kept, the economy of the expendit ure b y the d i rectors , and the control exercised by the E ast I nd i a C ompa ny, afford the most ample security to the proprietors. The ac counts to the 30th of June showed that the receipts amounted to 132,0681., of which 15,612/. was re• ceived in Bombay, and the expenditure to 35,937/., including 6,8481. expended in Bombay, leaving a ba lance of 96,1311. Mr. ANDERTON, one of the auditors, remarked., that the arrears of calls o n l y amoun ted to 2161., and that, owing to the contr o l exerc i se d o ver their expen diture by the East India Company such thing as spendi ng a farthingthere was no without their per mission. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, stated that the line had been re -surveyed by the company's staff, a n d exer ti ons had been made to ob tain satisfactory tenders from native contractors to execute the works, but up to the present time without success. In the first place, the native contractors were perfectly ignorant of the nature of the works required by the company, and were n ot acquainted with the m o d e o f cons t ruc tion to insure the necessary stability; while th e con tractors in England were w e ll the kind of material s to be ttihsee English ap peared in all the London morn ing acquainted with th e m o de of construc t ing railway works, but they k new no thing about the soil of India, t w h o e rk n s ativ fo es r totheexecioustpioeectthenvarious works. The en gineers had p r ep a r e d plans and specifications of the ha o ci f a c n o d nt t r h a e cto c r ap s a i b n il ß ity oni o . f contractors orng papers, th e in raaactowrse. cl ll as n duplicates saturday thlaesrteoafdfvoer; rail way papers, and the principal country papers, stating that the directors were prepared to receive tenders for the construction of the works. Th e plans and s p ec ifi ca ti o ns had been submitted f or ap proval, which was e xpected ,to be given about the middle of November. It bad .been, arranged, with a view to prevent delay, that the company's engineers shall commence the heaviest portion , of the works, and in case a contract ahould,be entered into for the execution of the works the contractor, should agree to take the works which may be executed at cost price , deducting the amount from the specified sum. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. RICHMOND said, be had great pleasure in se conding the adoption of the report, and with regard to the accounts he wished tth o o . bserve, in addition to what had been stated by eir worthy auditor, that they had been approved of by the East India Com pany. He complained of the course adopted b y some of the B o mbay papers in opposition to th e under taking, and could not discover the reason why the shares of the company should be quoted in the Bom bay papers at nearly fif t y per cent. discount, notwith standing the five per cent. guarantee of the East India Company. Mr. ANDERTON did not consider it surprising that the shares of the company should be quoted at a dis count in the Bombay market, when it was known that money there was worth 9 or 10 per cent.; and under such circumstances it was not to be expected that people could give the full price for shares yielding but 5 per cent. Mr: RICIIMOND said, that the East India Company could borrow money in India at 5 per ceLt., and he considered their railway shares to be equal in value to that stock. Mr. CRAWFORD said, that their shares were not the same as GJvernment stock. The people in India looked upon railway undertakings as a different sort of thing, and they were perfectly aware of the deprecia tion of railway property in this country, and the va rious contingencies to which it may be liable. He hoped the directors would have the kindness in future to circulate the report two or three days before the half-yearly meeting. A conversation ensued, in the course of which it was stated that the company had contracted to pay at the rate of 304. per ton for the freight of iron rails from Cardiff to Bombay. That sum included in surance. The freight from Cardiff to London was 10i. per ton, including insurance. A technical ob.. jection was raised by Mr. Crawford against the sp= pointment of Mr. Nicholson as superintending direc tor, with a salary ; but it was contended by Mr. White, the solicitor to the company, the Chairman, and others, that the appointment was perfectly legal; and that it had been sanctioned by the East India Company. Mr. NICHOLSON entered into an explanation -of 'Ol6 terms upon which he had consented to join the com pany, and said that Mr. Macgregor, of the South- Eastern Company, and Mr. Laing, of the Brighton Railway, received specific sums for their services, and that these were cases in point, and would meet the technical objection urged by Mr. Crawford against his appointment as superintending director at a fixed salary for the performance of certain duties. The CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to a question from Mr. Field, that the East India Company would not allow parties to pay up the whole sum on their shares, but when the money was required it would be called up by instalments. The line was originally intended to extend from Bombay to Callian, thirty-three miles, at an estimated coat of 500,0001., instead of which it was now proposed to make it from Bombay to Tan nab, a distance of twenty-one miles, at a cost of less than 200,0001. A PROPRIETOR urged the necessity of obtaining an early decision as to the exact situation of their line and station at Bombay, and, if possible, to have a terminus near the shipping. From his long experi-. ence of the mode of carrying on works in India, he, very much doubted the correctness of the paragraph in the report which stated that the works would be carried on with the utmost vigour and rapidity. The report was then adopted, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting . separated. PRESTON AND LONGRIDOE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday, Mr. T. B. Addison in the chair, when a dividend of 12.3.6 d. per share for the half-year clear of income tax, and payable in January, was declared, the re tiring directors being re-elected. GLASGOW AND SOUTH•WESTERN.—We understand that a meeting of deputations of the Caledonian, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the Glasgow and South- Western Railway Companies took place at Carlisle on Tuesday last, when, consequent upon the immediate opening of the latter line into England, mutual ar rangements for traffic were discussed in a friendly spirit, and there is every reason to believe that an agreement will be completed of a satisfactory charac ter for all parties. This will prevent any ruinous competition, and at the same time afford every facility and convenience for the public. ASHFORD, RYE, AND HASTINGS RAILWAY. COMPLETION OF THE WORKS. [PRICE SD. The last link in the great chain of railway coast com munication along the eastern and southern ports of the kingdom was yesterday accomplished by the comple tion of the works on the Ashford, Rye, and Hastings Railway, which is now in a state of such forwardness that it will be ready for opening to the public in the course of a few weeks. A large and distinguished party of the directors and their friends, among whom were several ladies, left the South-Eastern terminus, London Bridge, yesterday morning in a special train shortly before ten o'clock. The Lord Mayor, the Lady Mayoress, the Rev. Mr. Marshall, the Lord M►yor's chaplain, and suite were among the guests invited to be present at the interesting ceremony of inserting the last brick in the tunnel of the Ashford and Hastings line. 'We also observed Sir Frederick Smith, the Government railway inspector; the Mayor of Rve, Jeremiah Smith, Esq ; the Deputy Mayor of Winchelsea, Captain Southey; the Mayor of Hast ings, George Scriven, Esq ; R. Holland, E , q , M.P., H. Curteis, Esq., M.P., James MacGregor, Esq., the chairman ; and a number of the directors of the South-Eastern spectators, and amidst the most enthusiastic acclama tions. The second ceremony was rendered more in teresting from the fact that it took place in the parish of the Mary Magdalene, Hastings, in which the Lord Mayor was born, and in the presence of many of those early and attached friends who had witnessed the honourable career of their distinguished towns man, and were now assembled to congratulate him on the occasion of his revisiting his native spot as chief magistrate of the first city of the world. The new portion of the line commences at Ashford, and is about 29 miles in length. It passes for the greater part of its course through the flat and fertile district called Romney Marsh, the greater part of the soil of which is so fertile that it is said 12 or 15 crops of wheat can he obtained off it without manure, and the farmers in the days of England's agricultural prosperity were called "yellow pockets." There is as yet only one line of rails laid down over a considerable portion of the line, but the whole of the line is ballasted, and the other line of rails ready f r laying, so that the line can be completely finished and opened to the public in a fortnight from this date. The ceremony of yesterday would have been deferred a little longer, but Monday was the only day the Lord Mayor had at his disposal before the termination of his mayoralty. None of the stations are at present completed, and it will evidently require considerable exertion to have all prepared tor public traffic before the end of next month. • It is needless to say that Hastings was in a state of unusual bustle, excitement. and animation; and the long line of carriages and cabs as they proceeded through the streets of the town to the hotel, were greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheering. On the arrival of the train at Rye the visitors were received by the mayor of that ancient borough and the civic authorities. There was a band of music sta tioned on the platform, and the station and public buildings were decorated with flags in honour of the interesting event. The Loid Mayor, the chairman of the directors, and the principal visitors were conducted to the sta tion, where an address was presented in the following terms : 'TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH• EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. "Gentlemen,—We, the mayor and corporation and inhabitants of the ancient town of Rye, cordially and sin cerely greet you on your arrival here this day, and on the completion of the works of the Ashfird, Rye, and Hastings line. " W e hail it as a prospect of a new era for the benefit of this town, and we hope that you may long cotinue to manage the affairs of this important company advan tageously to the interest of those whom you represent, feeling as we do that, under such circumstances, an op portunity will be afforded for the development of the re sources and energies of those who now respectfully ad dress you, and we give you a hearty welcome. (Signed on behalf of the meeting) " JEREMIAH SMITH, Mayor. " Rye. Oct. 28, 1850." Mr. MACGREGOR, on behalf of the company , re plied to the address i n appropr i ate terms • after ' which the Mayor of Rye comp li mente d the company t i or on d being honoured w ith t h e presence of h Mayor of L on d on , w h o was connected by the Lord ties of friend s hi p an d l ong res id ence with that part of the country. Three loud and hearty cheers were then given by the assembled multitude, the company re-entered the carriages, and the train proceeded on its wa y t o H as ti ngs . I n consequence of a slip in a portion of the line near the tunnel, some delay took place when within two or three miles of Hastings. The heavy rains of the last few days having formed a lodgment on one side of the line. at the foot of an embankment, the rails were forced up and displaced for a few yards, and a pilot en gine having been sent on to assist in remedying this defect, the train again proceeded, after having been detained half-an-hour, and entered the long tunnel which forms the terminus of the line close to Hastings. Here a temporary platform and scaf folding were erected, several hundred "navies," each provided with a candle, were ranged on either side, and by the glare of the flickering lights, which served only to render the darkness visible, the Lord Mayor and his suite, and those who were to take part in the ceremony of placing the last brick in the crown of the tunnel, ascended the frail-looking scaffolding at an elevation of some thirty feet above the rails. Mr. MacGregor then, in the name of the company, presented the Lord Mayor with a handsome silver trowel, on which was the following inscription :-- "Die Lunge, Octobri 28, A.D. 1850. " Presented to the Right Hon. Thomas Farncomb, Lord Mayor of the city of London, by the South- Eastern Railway Company, on the occasion of his Lordship's completing the works on the Ashford, Rye, and Hastings Railway, by inserting the closing brick in the tunnel 'between Hastings and St. Leonard's." Underneath were his Lordship's arms, the whole encircled by a handsome embossed scroll. The brick on which his Lordship's name and the date were in scribed having been placed in its proper position, the Lord Mayor applied the cement around it with the trowel, drove in the wedges with a mallet, and pro nounced the work complete. Mr. MacGregor then advanced to the edge of the platform and announced the fact to the vast crowd who were assembled in the depths below, and three loud and deafening cheers were given, the workmen flourishing their lights, which threw a lurid and unearthly glare over the strange and exciting scene enacting apparently in the bowels of the earth. The tunnel in which the ceremony took place is 1,400 yards, or rather more than three-quarters of a mile long, and is within about a mile of the Hastings terminus. It is bricked throughout, and is a very massive and substantial structure. The ceremony having been completed, the carriages again moved forward, and after a brief stay at the temporary ter minus at Hastings proceeded along the curve which connects the new line with St. Leonard's. Here another tunnel, about 700 yards in length, occurs, and here the same ceremony of placing the last brick in the crown of the arch was performed by the Lord Mayor in the presence of a still larger number of The train on leaving returned to Hastings. The company were conveyed to the Swan Hotel, where an elegant dijetiner was served up. The hour fixed for the arrival of the guests was one o'clock, but owing to the unavoidable delays to which we have referred, it was nearly four o'clock before all were seated, their appetites much sharpened by the delay and the fresh and invigorating sea-breeze of the coast. The chair was taken by James MacGregor, Esq., chairman of the board of directors, who was sup ported on his right by the Lord Mayor of London, and on his left by Sir Frederick Smith, who was pre sent as a guest, and not in his capacity of a Govern ment railway inspector. Between fifty and sixty of the gentlemen connected with the line or the towns through which it passed were present. " The Health of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," having been given from the chair, and duly honoured, The CHAIRMAN rose and gave "The Health of the Lord Mayor of London," who had that day honoured them by completing the works on the im portant line that connected Hastings with the county of Kent, and formed the last link in the great chain of railway coast communication from Ramsgate to Ply moutb.—(Loud cheers.) As to the importance of the line in a military point of view, he could not speak of it in higher terms than to quote the words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who had expressed his high opinion of its importance for the defence of the country, and that opinion had been repeated by one who was distinguished as a states man, who bid fair to follow in the footsteps of him who was " the observed of all observers"—he meant the Marquis of Dalhousie, the Governor-General of India.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had that day shown himself a master workman—he bad turned the last link in the chain. " On the huge anvil forged the massive chain, With cramp in cramp the fabric to sustain." (Cheers.) After complimenting the Right Hon. Gen tleman on the high and distinguished position he bad atttained, and wishing him every happiness and pros perity, the Chairman concluded by giving " The health of the Lord Mayor of London."—(Cheers.) The LORD MA,TOR returned thanks. He was fully sensible of the great honour they had done him in in viting him to lay the last hand to the important work that had been that day completed. He had no doubt that the line which was just completed would prove highly advantageous to a town in the prosperity of which he felt so deep an interest. He should remem ber the present occasion with unfeigned sentiments of pleasure to the last day of his life. He was gra tified to find that while discharging the important duties of Lord Mayor of Londo❑ be had obtained the approval of his friends and fellow-citizens. He felt proud as a Sussex man of the distinguished posi tion in which he had been placed, and concluded by thanking the company for the distinguished compli ment they had paid him. The CHAIRMAN then gave, " Prosperity to the borough of Hastings." He wai happy to think that in the performance of his duty in administering the affairs of the South •Eastern Railway Company, he had been enabled to accomplish a work which could not fail to conduce most materially to the prosperity of that ancient and loyal borough. He bad confi dence in himself, notwithstanding what had been said by Lord Dalhousie, that a railway to Hastings would not pay, and that the burden of its construc tion should be given to those who had already the largest share and the greatest extent of profitable railway communication in the county of Kent—not withstanding all that, he still believed that it would eventually pay, be a profitable tributary to the South- Eastern line, and that the labours of Mr. Hoof, their contractor, and of their able engineer, Mr. Barlow, would be crowned with the most complete success. He begged, in the name of the visitors, to thank the town and corporation of Hastings for the handsome reception they had given them, and would couple with the toast " The health of the Mayor, Mr. Scriven."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. SCRIVEN (Mayor of Hastings) returned thanks, and expressed his belief that the completion of the line would materially tend to develope the re sources and capital of the town and district. He gave " The health of their worthy Chairman, Mr. MacGregor."—(Great cheering.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks in appropriate terms, and gave, as the last toast of the evening, " The Lady Mayoress," to which the Lord Mayor res ponded. The chair was then taken by the Mayor of Hast ings, and Mr. MacGregor and the party who had accompanied bim from London returned to their carriages, and proceeded back to Ashford, which they reached at a quarter to nine o'clock. The train then started dcwn the Dover line to Folkestone, arriving there at a quarter-past nine. At the Pavilion Hotel a very sumptuous banquet was prepared by Mr. Breach, formerly of the London Tavern ; and here the capacity of the guests for the enjoyment of the good things of this life was severely tested by the appetizing temptations set before them for the second time in the course of their interesting excursion. The exhiliration produced by a long ride through the varied scenery of the Sussex coast, the gratifying nature of the proceedings at which they had assisted, and the good humour in which all the party were, all contributed to promote digestion, and to enable the majority to acquit themselves credit ably in the eyes of the worthy host of the Pavilion. Mr. MacGregor again did the honours of the banquet to his various guests, and after the dessert had been placed on the table, The usual loyal toasts were given and cordially II- , sponded to. The CHAIRMAN then gave "The Army and Navy," coupling with them the names of Sir Frederick Smith and Captain Mercer. Sir FREDERICK SMITH returned thanks. He had felt great pleasure that day in meeting his friends of the county of Kent, and in accompanying the chair man and his guests to Hastings by the new line. As an officer and an engineer he felt the great import ance of the line the works of which had just been completed. He believed that railways were some of the best defences of the country from foreign invasion. —(Hear, hear.) England did not maintain a large standing army, but she had stout and honest heats— (Cheers)—and he believed nothing would contribute more to give power and affect to their resources than to have points in case of attack at which to concen trate their forces. It was a mistake to suppose that a line merely along the coast was the best for defence; one a , little removed from the coast was far superior for such a purpose, and he believed tbat na line could be better calculated for military defence than that which had been adopted by the South-Eastern Com pany.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Healths of Mr• Deedes, Mr. Brock . man, and the other Members of Parliament who bad honoured them with their pre sence." Mr. DEEDES having acknowledged the compliment, The CUAIRMAN then gave " The Health of the Lord Mayor of Loudon.—(Cheers.) He thought it was a thing to be marked that the Lord Mayor of London should complete a great and important national work in the parish in which he was born.—(Cheers.) It was unnecessary fur him to eulogise the public cr private character of the Lord Mayor, but all who knew him in that part of the country were aware that he was highly esteemed and respected in the town in which he was born ; during his long and honourable career he had done a great deal of good to the district with which he was connected, and bad secured the esteem and affection of his friends and neighbours.—(Cheers.) After alluding to the sk ill and activity he had that day displayed in a d j ustin g the last brick, and expressing p good-humoured hope that after he had thrown off the cares of office he could be induced to give up his single blessedness and make some fair lady of Kest happy, he concluded bygiving " The Health of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London." The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, expressing his gratification at being once again among his old friends in the county of Sussex. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the Mayor of Folkestone." He had long been connected with the port and town, and had done much to pro mote its growing importance • and he believed that the connexion of the South -Eastern Railway with the port had materially contributed to the prosperity of that town. That would be more obvious to them when he stated that no less than 250,000 persona landed and embarked annually at that port. The toast was drunk with much applause. The Mayor of FOLKESTONE (Mr. David Major) returned thanks, acknowledging the great prosperity that the connexion of the railway with their port had conferred upon Folkestone. The Mayors of Canterbury, Hythe, Dover, Deal, and Maidstone also acknowledged toasts in which their healOs were proposed. In doing so each put in some separate demand on the company for increased railway accommodation, to which the chairman made polite and politic replies. The LORD MAYOR gave " The health of the Chair man," to which The CHAIRMAN responded by expressing his regard for the men of Kent, and his hope that in the dis charge of his official duties he had met with their approbation and that of the proprietors of the com pany. He had endeavoured to do so by adhering to a lesson which he had been taught on becoming chairman,. by regarding the time-bill issued by the company as a contract entered into between them and the public, and which they were bound strictly to perform. The company at that time had published an ample time-bill, and promised much, though they could perform little. His endeavour had been to curtail the promises, and to increase the powers of perform ance. He had made many friendships in the county of Kent, but on no occasion had be spent a happier day that the present, nor had he ever felt more gratified than in returning them thanks for the compliment which they then paid him. The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The Health of Mr. Stephen R. Lushington, the apostle of direct railway communication." • Mr. LIISHINGTON returned thanks. The last Wad given from the chair was " The Ladies," and at a few minutes before one o'clock the greater part of the company started for London in a special train, reaching the London-bridge terminus, without the slightest accident, at three o'clock pre cisely. The chairman and railway authorities were throughout the day extremely attentive to their guests, and their unceasing exertions contributed much to the comfort and enjoyment of their numerous and distinguished visitors.

DISPUTED I.= POLICIES. " A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence turne I upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for 401. interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance of the action being brought by one office against another presents a striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode by which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of prote - fting them selves in every case by due inquiries before the grantinf f each po licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from raising any future question. In the present case two offices are found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be able to guare themselves against such contingences. Siratlar cases have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty, and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree, the people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

Papers from the Cape of Good Hope have •been re ceived to the 14th of August. Affairs at Cape -town were progressing smoothly, and since the final ar rangement of the convict question nothing had occurred to disturb the harmony existing between Sir Harry Smith and the colonists. The accounts from Natal were encouraging. The new Lieute nant-Governor was working zealously to bring the Administration into popular favour, and the majority of his measures were regarded with consideration. The developement of the settlement was gradually becoming more apparent, and the cultivation of cotton was steadily increasing on the ?ea coast, with every prospect of ultimate success. Great jealousy was manifested by the Boers re specting the admission of strangers into the Vaal River district, and two travellers who had attempted to penetrate into that territory had been compelled to 8 t•ek another route. Pretorius was still in that neighbourhood, and had, it was thought, permanently settled down there with his followers. The accounts from the frontier mention that depredations continued to be committed among the farmers by the natives, but excepting in one case where murder is alleged to have followed from an attempt to arrest the parties, they were not cotnmorily of an alarming description. The appearance of Kafir fever at Natal had occa sioned some little uneasiness. With respect to the passengers by the Minerva, the vessel lately wrecked off the port, it is stated that a subscription had been entered into for their relief, and that a memDrial to the Government had been signed by many of the leading residents praying for an official inquiry to ascertain if the disaster was (idling to accidental causes or entirely to the nature of the coast, so that if the latter should prove to be the case efforts may be made to provide a remedy. " Various rumours," it is remarked, " are of course afloat, but there seems to be a feeling among the in fluential class here that any judgment would be pre mature before the result of a thorough investigation is known. They are, however, naturally anxious that this occurrence may not unfairly prejudice shipowner and underwriters against the place. They court inquiry on this point. They feel confident that the roadstead is not more dangerous than those of Tel le and Algoa Bays; many even contend that it is less dangerous than those places, inasmuch as they are strictly bays, and ships must hold their ground or go ashore. This is a straight line of coast with good anchorage, and there is, it is alleged, a fair chance for vessels to get out to sea. Moreover, when the resources of the colony will enable the authorities to throw open the inside harbour to ships of all sizes, the port will bear comparison in point of safety with any in the world, and ships will find here a harbour such as, with the exception of Saldanba Bay only, does not exist along the whole southern coast of Africa."

DINNER TO H. TAYLOR, ESQ., CHAIRMAN OF THE COAL TRADE.—On Tuesday, a public dinner was given at the Assembly Rooms, Newcastle, in honour of Hugh Taylor, Esq., Chairman of the Coal-trade Committee of Northum berland and Durham. The number of guesits were about 100, consisting for the niost part of gentlemen connected with that trade, and some of the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. Matthew Bell, Esq., M.P., was in the chair, supported on his right by the honourable guest, John Clayton, Esq. (Town Clerk •f Newcastle), Ralph Dodds, Esq.
