By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta :eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con• trihntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, it his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser,'at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk it forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.

Mr. CAYLEr seconded the motion. In reply to questions from Mr. BROWN, it was stated that every shilling of the money raised on those shares would be paid into the Bank of,England and be appro priated exclusively to the payment of the bondholders. The amount raised by the issue of the 10 per cent. pre ference shares was 50,000/., but it was intended to re deem them as soon as possible. This money was raised in compliance with the request of a meeting of the shareholders against the judgment of the directors, and it was urged at the time by the former, that borrowing money at 10 per cent. for a short period would be less injurious to the company than borrowing the same sum at 6 per cent. far a long period. The reselutions were unanimously carried. Mr. CATLRY said, they were in hopes of obtaining the money they required at a reasonable rate of interest in consequence of the state of the money market and of the incresso of traffic on the line. _ . . The, proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. EAST LANCASHIRE. The thirteenth half-yearly meeting of this company was held on' Wednesday at the company's station at Bury. -Mr. Thomas Dugdale, 'deputynhairman, pre sided; and there was an.unusually large attendance of proprietors. ,• The company's seal was affixed to the registry of proprietors, and the report. of which the following are the' prineipaPpoints, was taken as " The directors have not undertaken any new works during the past-half year. They are now in communi cation with the Lancashire and Yorkshire board re specting the abandonment of•the Dock Branch at Liver pool; .and, if this measure be decided upon, the land will be re-sold, and your portion of the proceeds applied in reduction' of the capital account. The directors have, during the past halt-year. used every exertion to obtain payment , of calls in arrest, and are enabled ,to state that the •total amount of arrears has been reduced to 12,000/.. of.which sum it , is expected that at leist one half will be recovered." At the extraordinary meeling held on the 20th March last, the company determined to raise. an additional capital of 304,0001., by : the creation of ' Preference Fifth Shares.' These shares were created under the 15th section df the East Lancashire Railway Act, 1849, which in express terms authorises the company to issue the shares upon such conditions, and with such prefer ence of dividend, not exceeding ten per cent., as the pro prietors might determine; and, pursuant to this provi sion, a dividend of six per cent, fur the first five years, and five per cent. in perpetuity, was secured to the shares, the company having the option of redeeming them at par in June, - 1855. The shares were offered to the shareholders, in accordance with the ' resolution of that meeting; but either from the very heavy call made upon them, or the terms not being sufficiently favourable, the stock has not been generally taken up; 48,069 of these shares now remain on hand. This circumstance has rendered it necessary that some other mode should be adopted for tho purpose of disposing of such of the preference fifth shares as are still unappropriated; and the directors have thought it expedient and only just to the proprietors that, before offering them to the public on modified terms,' the proprietors should have an oppor tanity of taking them; and, accordingly, the directors will have to submit a resolution for the approbation of the shareholders at the meeting on this subject. This resolution will be so framed as to preserve the strictly legal character of the stock. Referring to the revenue accounts the proprietors will observe that the profit for the half-rear is 34,680/. 17s. Bd., which leaves the sum of 11;8721. lls. 54. applicable to divi dend upon the ordinary share capital of the company, after paying interest on loans and all preference charges. Among the causes which have been in operation to im pede the natural and progressive increase of the traffic of the railway, the unfortunate occurrence of the previ ous half-year must be mentioned, as having so impaired the efficiency of the company's working stock as to pro duce numerous delays and great irregularities in the conduct of both the goods and passenger traffic. The influence of these causes on the traffic of the railway is pow disappearing. The working stock is in good con dition, and the public confidence in the punctuality and efficiency of the line is becoming gradually restore& During the past half-year the receipts of the company have been diminished by a severe competition with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company. A negotiation has, however, been recently opened, which may probably lead to some arrangetnent for putting an end to this competition. The arrangement, if made, is expected to be concurred in by the London and North-Western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies; and by removing competition from the district will largely increase the traffic receipts, as it will enable the com pany to advance the rates, and at the same time materially reduce the working expenses. The company may calculate upon the early opening of the Preston Extension Line, and the completion of the railway at Preston. The opening of this portion of the railway is of great importance, as it will at once relieve the com pany from the payment out of revenue of the toll to the lessees of the North Union Railway, and the cost in curred• in -carting goods between Bamber-bridge and Preston, amounting together to about 8.000[.. per annum; and it will also place the company in a thorongly inde pendent and satisfactory position in that important town." The amount still to be expended of the estimate for completing the railway submitted to the last general meeting is 498,005/, the expenditure during the half year ending June 30, 1850, having been 172,489/. The statement of traffic receipts and expenditure shows a balance in favour of the company of 34.6801., the re ceipts having been 77.1671., and the expenditure 42,4871 The directors have unanimously elected Mr. C. W. Eborall to the office of general manager, at a salary of 4001. per annum, subject to increase, according to the amount of dividend paid by the company. When pay ing 8 per cent. dividend the manager's salary will be 1,0001. per andum, where it is to remain. The directors stated in a note, that several matters of importance af fecting the general interests of the company would no doubt be discussed at the meeting; but they had re solved to trust to the proprietors assembled for support, rather than put the company to the expense of proxies, and they urged upon the proprietors the importance of personal attendance. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the meeting. Having expressed his regret that the late chairman, John Grundy, Esq., should have felt it necessary to retire from office. Mr. Dug isle said the directors were all con• scions of having done their duty; and contrary to their nsual custom, they had put, some days ago, into the hands of the shareholders the accounts and the reports, which exhibited a plain, unmistakable, and comprehen over sire view of the condition of the comp a ny. Th e resu l ts of the opening of the branch into Pre s t on wou ld b e very beneficial. The total outlay upon th ose wor k s wou ld b e the ha o d utlay. He passed was the Ribble to be on able the 163,5001.; and even with the present t ra ffi c i t wou ld pay 5 t o p s e t r s t cent. that a upon tra in previous day, and it would be open for Government inspection on the 18th of next month. But he was of opinion that they must look as much to increased rates as to increased traffic for a good dividend.—(Hear, hear.) To' show the effect of the present low rates, ho might say that for the last half-year the traffic be tween four stations on the Liverpool line and four stations on the East Lancashire Railway had been 21i per cent. more than during the last half-year of 1849, while the increased receipts had only been 3i per cent. greater than in that half-year. Had , the charges made in 1849 been in existence, the receipts would have been 17+ per cent. more; with the charges made when the line was opened, 59} per cent. more; or with the rates charged by the canal company before the line was opened, 106 per cent. more.—(Hear, hear.) The chairman,' after expressing an opinion that the passing of Ricardo's Bill' would benefit the interests of the line, moved the adoption of the report. Mr. BROWN seconded the motion. Mr. JOHN GRUNDY, the late chairman .of the board, having expressed a conviction against the propriety of appropriating money for dividend which should have been applied to the traffic account, alluded at some length to his retirement from the chair. He said (as he had stated in a letter to the board) that he retired be cause of the renewal of arrangements with other com panies, and the refusal of the board to carry out a finan cial scheme which he had previously proposed for the extrication of the line from its diffi-...ulties. If the board had been unanimous in its policy, if it had had any policy at all, he should never have deserted his post. His opi nion was, some time .ago, that the control of this district should have been permanently handed over to some other conipanY. ,Of their present system of patching up traffic he could not approve; nor, seeing in how many cases the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company had broken faith r w a i n th ge t m he en m t , s w w o i u th ld under an Act of Pailiiiment.--(Hear , hear.) Had they . t h h e at agr eo e gn e p to an t y h . e e ir xc e e n p te t r t in h g ey in w to er a e n m y aadre continued in tompetititm -tip to last autumn, the line would, he believed, have got into possession of some cther company, which he thought it ought to do as speedily as possible. Mr. BLACKLOCK defended the Lancashire and York shire Company from the attack which Mt. Grundy had made upon them. Mr. THOMAS WItIGLEY (who has lately resigned his seat at the board) said he was not surprised that the shareholders in this line should frequently complain. It had now been in existence for six years and a half, dur ing which time the property had been gradually but steadily declining, till they had at length come to a one per cent. dividend. At present the East Lancashire was the worst-managed lino in the kingdom, and if there were fewer complaints than there used to be of the management, it was only because people were tired of complaining. Their arrangements with other companies appeared to show an abject submission to the two cap tains, Laws and Huish—(Hear, hear)—and he could not believe that any arrangement made with these two gen tlemen could result advantageously to the East Lanca shire Company. As to the Sunday travelling, be denied the right of the directors to settle that question, which ought to the determined by the general body of share holders. Re concluded by moving that the report be not adopted, the board as at present constituted not having the (Widen°, of the eherehelders• Mr. E. R`SSON seconded the amendment. Mr: PENRICE, R.E., said the present condition of the line was in a very great measure owing to the traffic having been carried by a number of competing com panies, which led to the reduction of rates. The low rates had brought the canal company to an arrange ment, which (he spoke advisedly) would raise the company's receipts 200 per cent. along the entire distance of the canal—(Bear, hear.) Money to the amount of a quarter of a million had been invested in this line upon the representations he had always made of the capabilities of the district, and if the arrange. ments with the canal company were adopted, the local traffic would be developed to an extent of which it ap peared few, even of the proprietors in the line, had any conception. After a discussion of some four hours, which was only 'terminated by the departure of a train for Manchester by which many of the shareholders were desirous to proceed, a division took place, and the original motion was carried by a lart►e majority. Resolutions declaring a divilend at the rate of 1 per cent. were carried; and it: was also resolved that the recently created preference fifthti should to offered to the shareholders at par--if not taken up, the remainder to be disposed of to the preference shareholders at 10s. per share discount. Some discussion took place with respect to the low charges of the company; and the'proceedings terminated after a discussion of six hours. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. TIMES.—We publish elsewhere an authentic copy of the protocols finally agreed upon and executed on Fri day last at the Foreign-office by the •Plenipotentiaries of the chief Powers of Europe. The principal articles of this declaration were already imperfectly known to the public by the versions of the former protocol given in the German journals ; but as some doubt has been thrown on the intentions of the great Powers, on the language of this document,'and on its application to the present state of affairs in. Germany and the Duchies, we hope that the production of the agreement itself, as de finitively executed by all the foreign Ministers concerned, and in the. presence of the- Chargi d'Affaires of Austria, will pr.'mote its. object, • and hasten the cessation of an unjust and unnatnrsil No time should, therefore, be lest in bringing this distinct annanneetnint of the principles secognized .by the Conference to the know ledge of those who commenced this insurrection, and are still instigating th. , se hostilities. We have no doubt that the German Governments are, one and all of them, heartily sick of the very name of Schleswig-Holstein, and that although some of them may have had the baseness to regard this contest as a safety-valve to relieve the revolu tionary pressure on themselves at the expense of an unoffendieg neighbour and confederate, the wisest states men of Germany have long since discovered thut this struggle serves to keep alive all those bad passions of the late general convulsion, which have done the rulers and the nation incalculable injury. It cannot, therefore, be supposed that the Governments represented by the Conference of London are really at variance with the Governments of Germany on this question, or that Prussia herself can have the fatuity to adhere to a course entirely isolated from the common policy of the rest of Europe. The false steps heretofore taken in her name prove, no doubt, very embarrassing to her now; but it is not unfair that she should expiate an outrage by an inconsistency, and the Cabinet of Berlin probably rejoices at this very moment that the other Powers of Europe are taking a course calculated to ac complish that which she herself is least able to attempt or to avow. The contention, then, lies not between the German States and the rest of Europe, but between the misguided and excited public opinion of Ger many, which has been decoyed into its present humilia tions by a strange mixture of enthusiasm and intrigue, and the public law and policy of Europe as laid down with authority by a free conference of the great Powers. The question is, which of these forces is to decide this controversy, and to govern the world. If the popular passions of the Germanic race are to give the law, they are leading to a war as destructive in its effects as it has been ridiculous in its causes—a war of which Germany herself would be the theatre and the victim. For half - a century Europe had accustomed itself to look upon the warlike passions of the French democracy as the greatest, peril to the general peace. Perhaps we did injustice to the thrift and disposition of France; for certain it is that the Government sprung from universal suffrage has shown no disposition to attack other countries, and the agitators who speculated on war as a means of revolution have failed to gain a hearing. But that class of nefarious agitators has unhappily turned with more effect to Ger many. There they have succeeded in deluding a large por- tion of the people into a belief that their honour and in terests as a nation are mixed up with this Danish con test, and if the question were now to be decided by popular Assemblies or German democratic bodies, it would be blown at all hazards into a perfect confligra lion. They have yet to learn that a popular war-cry is as feilish as it is odious, until that solemn day comes when the violation of some positive right, the aggres sion of a foreign Power, or some stain upon the public honour which nothing else can efface, calls an entire nation, reluctant hut unanimous, to the field. It is su perfluttus to add, that it becomes the duty of the German Governments, and of the rest of Europe, temperately but firmly to resist these dangerous passions and illusions, which, indeed, can scarcely be said to belong to the true eat,ure or character of the German people, although they have been profusely strewn among them by the destruc tive bands which have lately passed over that country. Morally speaking, the Conference of London now stands pledged to maintain the ground of legal rights and the cause of peace against this aggressive spirit. Practically, that object can only be se cured by causing the insurgent army in Schles wig-Holstein, now hourly recruited by German adherents, and supplied by German contributions, to dis perse and lay down its arms. We give the Conference full credit for having accomplished the first of these ob jects by its declaration; but that object tells for compa ratively litt!e in flagrant war, and the repetition of such sanguinary battles as that of Idstedt will be now more than over an opprobrium to Europe. If the Holsteiners and Germans are fighting for tee acquisition of Schles wig, they are fighting for that which they are now dis tinctly told they shall never have; for though we trust that Denmark will still scorn to owe to foreign aid what she can do alone, there can now be no doubt that a moment a-y success by the opposite party would only bring about a more total defeat of their cause by such forces as the case might require. If the Holsteiners see fighting for the rights of their own duchy, that is a subject perfectly open to discussion and amicable arrangement. Of reasonable causes of war they have literally none, and they are playing at a game at which it is impossible for them to win the stakes, while they are throwing away the rights on which they might rely in negotiation by risk ing them in the field. For instance, Schleswig is already de facto and de jure conquered, and if there were any arguments for her independence before, they are now disposed of by the battle of Idstedt. One more such defeat, and the fate of Holstein will be en tirely in the hands of the Court of Copenhagen; and while the Stadtholderate speculates on drawing Ger many on to interfere in its behalf, it is in reality draw ing the rest of Europe on to resist its pretensions. These considerations are decisive as to the .expediency of making peace, even in the interests of the Duchies, if policy and public duty are to decide that question, The guilt of prolonging the war rests, in the first in stance, on its authors, who have still the power of ter minating its horrors; but if they persist in their reckless course, it would become the duty of all the parties to the protocol of London to consider and to adopt the most direct and effectual means of putting an end to such a contest. POST.—From certain indications which, during the last three days, have become perceptible to those who are closely observant of diplomatic movements, we are induced to believe that within that period a con ference was held at the Foreign office oa the affairs of Denmark which cannot fail to produce the most benefi • cial results. We understand that the decision arrived at by the. Plenipotentiaries is declaratory, and that it pro nounces in favour of the maintenanc e, under the sove reignty of the Danish C rown of the t-rritories of Schles wiga an d rt such a Holstein, without , however, in the case of the latter duchy, weake n i n g i t s relations with the German pt to r regu l ate u l s i te s distinct ly the roy al Confederacy. This, of course, impli es an approval.** we h ex p r essed of' the proje c t e d measures by which the n Kaivneg v of e Denmarkhe d h hasat nproposedapproval succession. Whether the r e p resentat i ves of At:stria and P rus sia have yet attach e d t h e i r s i gnatures to the im portant document in q uest i on, we have not been informed, but we believe there i s no d ou b t that it has b een s i gned by her Majesty's Se cre t ary of State for Foreign Affa i rs, and by the Minist e r s o f R ussia, France, Denmark, and Sweden e Sweden. The three greatest Powers of Europe have, thus, agreed on a course of policy, the moral effect of which is to secure the integrity of the Danish dominions, and to combine the preservation of peace with the ad • vancement and security of commerce. Not many weeks ago we .Were told by the organs of busy and .mischievous faction that England was iso lated from the other states of Europe. M. Drouyn do Lhuyv, it was said, bad left the Court of St. James's to return no more. Baron Brunnow sometimes had gone—sometimes was only going—but most certainly could not remain. The influence of England was shivered like the porcelain of M. Pacifico, and the name of P a lmer s t o n h a d b een a ffi xe d for the last time to any convention of European importance. Such prophecies were not confined to that versatile and de graded portion of the press which is ever ready to back the current falsehood of the day; but, as our readers well know, there were men whose character and position entitled us to expect from them better things who conde scended to aid iu the most discreditable movement which has disgraced the annals of modern policy. Alone in what is called the Conservative press, we persevered in the consistent and independent support of the cause of truth and justice, and, from day to day, we exposed the base fabrications and dishonest purposes of the enemies of our country. We foretold the issue which is now patent to the world. Lord Palmerston has vindicated the honour of England and maintained her high place among the nations of the earth. The ink is not dry in which the miserable predictions referred to were written when Russia and France are united with Great Britain in a publicitot which demonitrates a cordial good tinder, F 0 R D'S WELLINGTON FAMILY and COMMERQTAL HOTEL, DALE-STREET, T,IVERPOOL.

WORCESTER, Atm. 3.-The weather this week has been very fine, and the advance of last Saturday in the price of wheat cannot be maintained. The highest price for English white wheat is 17s 6d per bag, red 16s 6d, foreign about 16s 6d per bag. Barley in slow request at 2s 6d to 2s 9d per bushel for distilling qualities; malting not inquired for. English oats 3s 4d per bushel, Irish from 2s 6d* to 2s 9d per bushel. Old beans, English, 3s 6d to 4s per bushel; foreign from 3s 4d to 3s 6d per bushel. White peas 55 to 5s 4d per bushel, gray 4s to 4s 64 per bushel. Stourbridge market on Friday was fully supplied with wheat, and in consequence of change of weather for the better a reduction of Is per quarter on the rates of last market day had to be submitted to. Wheat averaged 425 6d per quarter. Barley dull at last week's rates. Peas and beans in fair request at lsst week's currencies. At Stratford-on-Avon market on Friday, there was also a full supply of grain and a fair attendance of mil lers and dealers. Wheat must be quoted on the whole 6d to is per quarter lower than last week. Farmers en• deavoured early in the day to keep ap.last week's prices, but as millers would not purchase they had in the after noon to submit to the decline. At this redaction a good business was done. Best white wheat 17s per bag, and red from 153 64 to 16s per bag. Beans were worth more money, good samples of old fetching 11s 6d, and new lOs 6d per bag. At Wolverhampton market there was an average sup ply of wheat, which was held pretty firmly for last week's advance. Millers, however, purchased very sparingly, and sales to any amount could only be effected at a de cline of Id per bushel. Farmers' wheat sold at 6s 6 1 per 721 b for red, and 7s fir white; dealers' 5s 8d to 6s per 621 b. Grinding barley in request at full prices say. 2ls to 22s per 3921 b. English beans is per quar ter higher, prices being lls 6d to 12s per 2961 b. Oats in moderate request and unchanged in value. At . Kidderminster the supply of wheat was good, but the trade ruled dull at a decline of 2d per bushel. In other grain little doing. GLOUCESTER, Ate. 3.-The rise of last Saturday has not been maintained to-day, though wheat is still worth more than it was a fortnight ago. White wheat must be quoted at 5s to 55 6d per bushel; red, 4s 6d to 55 4d per bushel. Foreign wheat, 4s 6d to 5s 6d per bushel. Malting barley nominally 22s to 23, per quarter, and grinding 20s to 21s; Irish, 21s per quarter. Old Eng lish oats, 235; new, 20s to 21s; and Irish, 17a to 18s per imperial quarter. Old beans, 4. per bushel; new, 3s to 3e 6d; and foreign, 3s to 3s 4d per bushel. Good boiling peas, 3s 6tl to 4s 6d per bushel; gray qualities, 3s to 3s 61. At Cirencester trade was pretty firm, and a fair amount of business was transacted. Old red wheat, 5s 64 to 5s 9d per bushel; white, 5s 6d to 6s; second quali ties, 5s to 5. 3,1. Grinding barley. 23s per quarter; peas, 14s to 161; white oats, 22s to 245; black, 18s to 20s; flour, 32. per sek; inferior, 29s to 30s. Best bread, 6d per quartern ; second+, bd. At Devizes market there was a full supply of wheat, but nevertheless prices were pretty well supported.

We quote the value of Polish Odessa 23s 6d, of Bradianski and Maria nople 24s 6d to 25s per barrel. In oats we have very little doing, and to effect sales lower prices should be submitted to. The flour market is quiet, and we have only a moderate business passing at late rates. Owing to the rumours of disease in the po tato crop holders of Indian corn are looking for an ad vance of price. As, however, potatoes are every day becoming more plentiful, and as they are (in this specter at least) still perfectly sound and free from disease, while the price is now very moderate, and there is little or nothing doing in maize. We quote the current asking price of the article 615 s to 6/455 per ton. Indian meal meets a very restricted sale.

OPENING OF THE GREAT NORTHERN. The opening of this stupendous undertaking for`public traffic over the southern, or t own di v i s i on o f th e line, namely, from London to Peterborough, is fixed to take place on Wednesday next, the 7th inst. Several trial trips have taken place during the last few days, and on Monday lust a powerful engine and a special train were brought up to the present temporary terminus at Maiden•lane, King's-cross, for the purpose of conveying the Government Inspector of Railways over the line. Captain Simmonde, the Inspector-General of Railways, arrived at the terminus shortly before ten o'clock, and was received by Mr. Denison, ALP., the chairman of the company; Mr. Thomas Cubist, "the en gineer; Mr. Louis Cubit; the architect; Mr. Brassey, the contractor for the line; Mr. Seymour Clarke, chief superintendent of the line, and a large body of the di rectors and their friends, who immtnediately took their places in the carriages, Captain . Simmonds and other scientific gentlemen taking their stations on the engine. The journey from London to Peterborough was per formed in.a very short space of time, considering. the necessary stoppages, in order to allow the Government Inspector to examine the various works of importance as the train proceeded. The result of the inspection has, it is understood, proved perfectly satisfactory, and the Inspector-General has given his certificate as to the fitness of the line to be opened to Peterborough on Wednesday next. In order to enable the reader to form some notion of the magnitude of the works "going on at the London terminus of the Great Northern Railway, it may bemen tioned that the plot of land on which the present tempo rary terminus stands consists of about fifty aores t situate alseut , n quarter of* mibs irens - the7eito-sril:tkes-intonded. permanent terminus. the Small-pox and late London_ Fever llospitale at King's-cross. and immediately abutt ing on the Regent's Canal, on the northern side of the Imperial Gas Works. On the east this piece of land is bounded by Maiden-lane, and bn' the west by Agar Town, in the rear of St. Pancras Workhouse and the Old St. Pancras-road, whilst on the south the Regent's Canal intervenes, and on the north the embankments of the Birmingham and Blackwell Junction, which crosses the Great Northern line by means of a viaduct within a few hundred feet of the Copenhagen Tunn e l. . a 0 It is intended that this vast space 'should be devoted to the goods department of the railway, and it will, with the exception of its greater extent, bear close affinity to the goods and locomotive departmeni of the London and North-Western Railway at Camden -town. The works in course of construction on this portion of the railway are of a most massive character. They are being carried out under the direction of Mr. Louis Cubitt, the archi tect, and the Messrs. Jay, of London-wall, who are the contractors for all the works on the London aide of the Copenhagen Tunnel, and who it is understood hare within the last few days also obtained the contract fur the construction of the permanent terminus at King's cross. The present terminus of the Great Northern Railway is entered by two large gates situate on the western side of Maiden-lane, facing River-street, and the City of York Tavern, within about 150 or 200 yard s o f the bridge over he Regent's Canal, now being widened at -the expense ,of the company, and being converted into an elegant structure of iron, 60 or 70 feet in width. Immediately on entering the outer gates is the temporary range of waiting-rooms and offices leading to the platform, which is about 200 yards in length, with an elegant and exceedingly light iron and glass roof, constructed, when completed, upon the same prin ciple as that of the North-Western terminus at Euston grove. To this point the main line of rails is completed, and laid on an exceedingly solid foundation of burnt clay, the rails them,elves laid on sleepers of wood, and apparently of a more heavy calibre than most rails hitherto in use on any of the other narrow gauge lines. Immediately crossing the railway to the south. west, is a large building to be appropriated to the official depart ment of the line, and which will contain the directors' board-room, &c. Further westward are the carriage sheds, and t he sheds to be appropriated to the goods de partment. These buildings are of the most stupendous cha racter, being each of them several hundred yards in length, and so capacious in every other respect that barges which come up the canal from the river Thames, after being re ceived into a capacious dock, now in course of construc tion, can be brought under these sheds, into which the dock extends, for the purpose of either unloading or receiving their cargoes. It is understood that on one side of these docks will bo the coal deco:, it being the intention of the Great Northern Company to bring up that article of consumption direct from the coal fields of the north, at a very reduced rate, for the Lon don trade. The other department will be for corn; and so great is expected to be the demaad, that large six story stores are about to be erected for its deposit. Bearing further westward, towards Agar-town, is the entrance to the goods and locomotive department, which is reached by a turning from the St. Pancras-road, at the end of Brewer-street, Somer's-town, to which point, when completed, the works of the company will extend, passing the range of gasometers of the Imperial Gas Company in that direction. The engine- house and lo comotive department aro situate more to the north-west ern extremity of the land described. The engine-house is a capacious building, and has been supplied with an immense tank, covering very nearly its entire roof, into which it is stated the water for the engines will be con veyed by means of a powerful steam-engine from a large artesian well. Looking from the present temporary passengers' sta tion in a north-easterly direction, the first object which the eye encounters.is the very elegant and substantially constructed five•arched bridge or viaduct which crosses the railway in continuation of Maiden•lane. To this point from the terminus the line is on a very great curve, and so continues till it reaches the C,,penhagen Tunnel, the mouth of which is, however, pl a i n ly visible from the station through the arch es o f t h e M a i len-lane viaduct. The Copenhagen Tunnel i s a b ou t h a lf a m ile in length, commencing at the entrance of Copenhagen-fields on the Maiden-lane side, and terminating in the Chalk road, where the line enters on a cutting gradually rising to an embankment, and crossing the Holloway road by means of a very elegant and tastefully con structed bridge. Returning to the works going on with a view to the completion of the London terminus, many rumours have been afloat as to the means by which it is intenchd that the Great Northern Railway shall meet the engineering difficulties presented by the interposition of the Regent's canal and the exten s i ve wor k s o f t h e I mper i a l G as Company in order to arr i ve at the Small P ox H osp i ta l at King's-cross, where their permanent terminus is to be erected. The difficulty is solved by the construe• lion of a tunnel, the princip a l s h a ft o f w hi c h i s no w open, opposite Randall' s t il e -kilns in Maiden-lane, which will open upon the main line on the eastern side of the Maiden-lane viaduct, bef,re described, and pass under the Regent's-canal in the same way as it was proposed by Mr. Madigan, one of the engineers of the North- Western, to carry the proposed railway under London, to the terminus in Farriogdon-street. This tunnel has already been completed, although not opened at either end, from within a few yards of the Maiden lane viaduct to within a short" distance of the northern side of the Regent's Canal. In order to pass under; the canal from the point of the viaduct, until after passing the canal, the tunnel will necessarily be on a great incli nation to the south ; but as soon as the canal is passed, the line will enter a cutting upon an incline the reverse way, and thus come. into the permanent terminus , at King's-cross. By this means also ell the works, as well as the mains of the Imperial Gas Company, will be cleared without any difficulty. The company have already shown their spirit in the works which they have carried on, irrespective of the mere railway. Workmen past in constructi ng a l arge have tunnel th e t n w o o n r tkhss on the northern side of the A large n um b er (re houses have been remo ved, which form e d the 9anal, emptying itself into the old Fleet - ditch at King's cross, and which is now comp leted. south eastern corner of Edmund-street, and the we s t ern s id e o f Maiden-lane, as well as a portion of the Smallpox Hos pital walls, thus converting a narrowmacadamsed road of si x ty f eet i n into a splendid i width. and dirty thorough fare EASTERN UNION. A special meeting o f this com p an y was held on' Fri day at Radley's Hotel, Blackfriars, to consid er the to enable the directors to create ne w shares to pay off a portion of the pro priety of authorising the directors to issue d ebenture shares to pay off a por tion of the borrowed m oney; Mr. S. Bignold in the chair . The CHAIRMAN s tated that the Act authorisin g the ni th e e s I s n s r th e h o o f had last o s n u t b h m . i t T received c t t h Royal as sen t ou w e a s, debenture debt, and thus to place the capital in a posi tion to receive a dividend by removing a largo amount of the present liabilities of the company . The mortgage debt at present amounted to 530,000, a small portion of which was borrowed at four per cent., another portion at six per cent., and the largest portion at five per cent. It was their intention to reduce this rate of interest down to the lowest a mount, and the mortgage debt to a sum not exceeding 350,0001. The traffic on the line produced about 125,000/. per annum, and, after de ducting working expeos", would leave a clear sum of between 60,0001. and 70,0001. a year. If the interest on the mortgage debt could be reduced to 4 per cent. or 41 per cent., it would leave a sum to divide among the shareholers. With a clear sum of 60,000/. to meet a liability of 20,0001., he thought "it-reasonable to expect they would obtain money at a much lower rate ot in terest than they paid at present. lie moved a aeries of resolutions to the effect that the borrowed money should as soon as possible be 'permanently reduced to a sum not exceeding ,350,0001„; that for this purpose the directors be author ised to create debenture . shares and to raise tbereen,a stun Pot exceeding 265,000/.; that the shares be of an amount not exceeding 10/. per , share, 1 and be entitled to a rate of interest not exceeding 4fper i cent. if issued in perpetuity, or 5 per cent. if redestuable ENEFITS ttaining the age of mud Premium of Cash.

At both the Hon. Gentleman was received with the same enthusiasum which has characterised his progress throughout the canvass, and resolutions in his favour were, as before, unanimously adopted. A public meeting took place at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell, and was attended by Admiral Napier, who during the day had paraded the various districts in an open barouche, drawn by four creana•coloured horses, and attended by a gay cortege, the spontaneous aid and contribution of Mr. Batty, the lessee of Astle3'a Am phitheatre.

BRITICII ASSOCIATION AT EDINDURGII.--11 • meeting of the various sections commenced on Thursday, in the University, the class-rooms of which were set apart for the purpose. In the section of mathematical science, Mr. F. Ronald made a report on the observations and experiments at the Kew observatory, and the Rev. II Wen Powell read a paper on luminous meteors. Reports were also read by Mr. W. S. M. Rankine on the laws of the elasticity of solids; by Professor G. S. Stokes, on metallic reflections; by the Rev. Mr. Powell, on the refractive indices of several sub stances, and by the Rev. Dr. Scoresby, on the magnitude, velocity, and phenomena of Atlantic waves. In the che mistry section Dr. George Wilson stated a few unpublished particulars respecting the character and habits of the late Dr. Black. Professor Voeliker discoursed on the per centage of nitrogen as an index to the nutritive value of food. Papers were also read by Mr. Henry Taylor on the chemical composition of the rocks of the coal formation, and by Mr. J. P. Poule on some amalgams. Mr. J. R. Gassiot reported on a peculiar form produced in diamonds under the influence of the voltaic arc. Mr. 11. C. Sorby also read a paper on carbon. In the geological section reports were made by Sir Roderick Murchison, Professor E. Forbes, Mr. Brice, Dr. Cullen, and Mr. Omerod. In the natural history section papers were read by Dr. Hugh Cleghhorn, Sir J. Dalgell, Professor Royal, Mr. Hancock, Dr. Embleton, Mr. C. Babington, Dr. M'Donald. The lecturers in the ethological section were Dr. E. Hincks, Professor Rungate, and Mr. D. Wilson. In the mechanical section papers were read by Mr. Scott Russell, Mr. Stokes, Mr. Homeraharn Cox, Mr. I:uthven, Mr. Macpherson, and Mr. James Nasymth. In the statistical section a very interesting paper was read by Mr. G. R. Porter of the Board of Trade. The sectional meetings terminated at three in the afternoon, and in the evening a general meeting was held, when a discourse was delivered by Professor Bennet on the passage of blood through the minute vessels of animals in connexion with nuitrition. FATAL OUTRAGE AT PATRINGTOL—An inquest, adjourned from the previous week, was held on Satur day last at Welwick, about two miles f rom P atr i ngton, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, before Mr. Iveson, coroner, on the bodies of four men, who came by their deaths under the following circumstances :—The Commis sioners of Woods and Forests are reclaiming from the sea sevoral hundred acres of land upon Sunk Island, situate at the mouth of the Humber, and have in their employ on the island a considerable number of " navvies." Part of these are Irishmen, and either from some provocation offered, or to have a monopoly of labour in the district, the English labourers resolved to drive the others from the island. As sembling, therefore, on the 19th ult., they hoisted a dark coloured handkerchief as a signal for the attack, and bore down upon live Irishmen, working together upon the eastern portion of the island, assailing them violently with sticks and stones. The poor fellows, taking flight, made fur the watt r's edge at a point where the ferry-boat plies to the mainlausl at Welwick. The Waterman happened, however, to Le on the opposite side, and the Irishmen then, rather than await their pursuers, plunged into the water, and endeavoured to gain the shore. Only one of them succeeded in this; the re maining four were drowned in sight of the other " navvies," who, with a brutality scarcely credible, made no effort to save them. At low tide the bodies were recovered, and as already stated, an inquest (to which the reporters of the press were not admitted) was held upon them, which was adjourned to Saturday last, when the inquiry was again ad journed. The channel over which the deceased attempted to swim was only from 15 to 20 yards wide, but at the time of the occurrence a strong tide was flowing. The affair has made a great sensation in the secluded district in which it took place. TITCHFIELD.—We regret that it is our duty to record the re-appearance of the potato blight. We bad hoped some two or three weeks since that no trace of the disease would this year exhibit itself, but we are sadly dis appointed. We strongly urge those who have crops, imme diately they discover the infection, to remove the haulm, as this will prevent communication, as well as promise safety to the esculent.

He treats of these topics with that affluence of poetical imagination and experience which there is no counterfeiting—with that thorough love which, coming from the heart of the writer, goes direct to the heart of the reader. The present volume is as fresh in spirit and as rich in matter as it it were the first of its family. The illustra tions by Mr. Foster are excellent. The book is at once wel come to read, and goodly to see. It is richly, poetically, picturesquely various. We cannot doubt its having a wel come as wide as its range of contents, and as cordial as the love of man, and of nature, which every line of it breathes,— Athenceirm.

Ross and Sons can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible ; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it are requested, if conve nient, to have it done the first time at their establishment , which will enable them to use it afterwards themselves without the chance of failure. They think it necessary to add that, by attending strictly to the instructions given with the dye, numerous parties have succeeded equally well with out coming to them.

LIAM/LITT OF CONTRIBUTORIES UNDRR . THE WIND.. Meal" ACT AND THE INSOLVEIIT Comm—The important question of the liability of contributories for calls under the Joint Stock Companies Winding-up Act, petitioning for their discharge under the Insolvent :Debtors Act, came on last week before Mr. Sergeant Dowling in the County Court of Yorkshire. Five Insolvents, named Parchon, Bul- lock, Kerr, Midgley, and Wild, came up to be heard on their petition for discharge. The opposition was instituted by Mr. Guodchap, the official manager, at the direction of the Master in Chancery Kindersley, who had placed the five petitioners on the list of contributories as promoters, of an undertaking called the Wesleyan Newspaper Association, the liabilities in connexion with which amount.to some 7,0001. A further call of 41. per share had been made. and for non payment the insolvents were committed to York'CaStle for contempt of court. It was contended by counsel for the offi cial manner that. by the 88th section of the Joint-Stock Stock Companies Winding-up Act, the insolvents could not be discharged, that section being a portion of an Act pi ssed subsequently to the general Insolvent Debtors Act, and con sequently superseded the latter; in reply to which, on the part of the petitioners, it was urgod that there was nUthing in the 88th section of the Winding-up Act to control the working or militate against the 55th section of the Insolvent- Debtors Act. His Honour acquiesced in this latter view and the insolvents were discharged.
