Committee of this Company, held at the Stork Hotel, Birmingham, on Thursday, the 10th of Decem ber, 1845, 'WILLIAM COLLINS, Esq., M.P., in the Chair, The following Report of the Committee was read : The Managing Committee of the Dudley, Madeley, Broseley, and Ironbridgeitailway Company, with extension to Shrewsbury, feel that it is due to themselves and to the Shareholders, to lay before them, at the earliest possible period consistent with due inquiry, their present position, consequent upon the circumstances which will be found detailed in the following Report : Mr. Francis Giles became the engineer of the Company on its for mation, and the Committee were induced to place confidence in him from the fact of his having been employed by Mr. Robert Stephenson, in his absence, to lay out several important lines in the vicinity of the line of railway projected by this Company. Mr. Giles attended a meeting of the Committee at Birmingham, early in October, when he gave positive assurances that he was ra pidly proceeding with his work, and had made such arrangements as would enable Min to complete it in good time; and from that pe riod till the end of November he constantly reiterated those assu rances to the Committee, to the respective solicitors, and to the se cretary, loOth orally and in writing. Every assistance was rendered which he required, and extracts from the correspondence will abun dantly testify tkat all was done by the Committee and the officers of the Company to enable him to complete his work by the 29th of No vember. His applications for money were, in every case, complied with, and the sum of 4,0..10/. was at various periods advanced to him, on account of his own and the surveyors' charges ; the last payment of 2,0001. having been made, at his own solicitation (though not with out considerable hesitation on the part of the Committee), in order to avoid the possibility of his o perations being retarded for want of funds, or to afford any possible pretext for their being inefficiently performed. • Of this sum, Mr. Dugdale Houghton, the Company's surveyor (Mr. Giles 's brother-in-law), has accepted his (Mr. Giles 's) liability to him for 2,010/., and Mr. Giles has paid Mr. John Brettell, another surveyor, 3001., thus leaving him (Mr. Giles) the sum of 1,7001. The anxiety expressed that all should be ready in time'was only equalled by Mr. Giles's assurances that there were no grounds for apprehension, as the following extracts from the correspondence on the subject will show : On the 17th of October, Mr. Collis, one of the Company 'a solici tors, thus addressed Mr. Giles— " Great anxiety is entertained as to the sections and surveys he ing ready in time. I do hepe you will use every exertion to get them done, and well done." On the 28th October, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles— " I trust you will get the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line completed without'delay, as time runs on. I am glad to tell you that all goes on favourably, and everything now rests with you. You have, of course, made proper arrangements as to the engraving." On the 31st, Mr. Collis says in a letter to Mr. Giles— " I assure you most unpleasant rumours are abroad amongst our proprietors that our sections and plans will not be properly done or ready, as Dugdale Houghton will have told you. Now I have done all in my power to put a stop to these reports. I entreat of you to have the sections of the whole line from Dudley to Ironbridge and to Shrewsbury, as.well as the surveys, most carefully done. You have, of course, made due arrangements as to the engraving of the sec 1. T th .4 lt v ER SITY of RANCE ti -T ITUTION for the EDUCATION o F f YOUNG GEN L V t , 4: 4 ,..d . er the direction of M.

Ber, 19, Melto n-street, t• tions." In a letter to Mr. Collis; on the 9th of November, respecting the Oldbury branch, Mr. Giles says, in reference to the plans which he I several solicitors. Mr. Giles, after informing the Committee that he had known amended sections deposited after the 30th of November to be received in Parliament, where notice of such emendations had been given to the landowners, offered to make correct sections at his own expense, to enable the Committee to apply for their Bill ; and Mr. Houghton also offered his personal services, free of charge, In the event of their determining to proceed, and the application proving unsuccessful. Under these circumstances, taking into consideration the fact that the erns line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampton formed a very important, and to a certain extent independent por tion of the projected railway, and that it was probable, from what Mr. Giles had stated, that they should b e in a p osition to apply for a Bill for it in the ensuing session with a reasonable prospect of suc cess, the Committee agreed that the solicitors should forthwith take the opinion of the Parliamentary agents, Messrs. Dyson, Hall, and Company, as to the course the Committee should pursue; and also send competent persons to ascertain what sections had really been deposited. Mr. Giles had stated that he should at once proceed to make entire new sections of the whole line. The deliberate written opinion of the Parliamentary agents has been obtained, to the effect that it was " a very reasonable and proper ease to bring before the Standing Orders Committee, with a view of obtaining a decision in favour of the Bill proceeding." But information was afterwards received from the parties sent to search at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace, that the sections of the im portant cross line from Stourbridge to WolvehamPton had not been deposited, that sections of several miles: of the main line had also not been deposited (despite the decisive statements of Mr. Giles and Mr. Houghton, the latter of whom delivered out the sections), and that those which had been lodged were extremely incorrect in detail. In the altered circumstances of their affairs, the Committee were at once convinced that their only course was to advise the share holders to abandon all thoughts of an application to Parliament for a Bill in the ensuing session, and to consider what steps should be taken to protect the shareholders from the consequences of the con duct which it has been their painful duty to detail. With this object, as well as with respect to the future operations of the Company, the Committee have called Mr. Sergeant Allen and their Parliamentary agents to their aid, and they will most anxiously and carefully consider the propriety of taking such steps in reference to competing lines in the next session as they may be advised. One course which the Committee propose to adopt, is forthwith to return to the Proprietors the sums of 21. per share, on such condi tions as counsel may deem necessary for the purpose of enabling the Committee to prosecute the undertaking in the session of 1847, should it be found expedient to do so. The liabilities of the Company will be forthwith ascertained and discharged ; •and the Committee beg to inform the Shareholders that every regard has been paid to economy consistent with the progress of the scheme ; and further, that no expenditure has taken place since the 30th of Noveniber, saving such as was actually necessary for ascertaining their real position. The Committee desire to record their unabated confidence in the intrinsic excellence of the line, and to express their regret that a scheme, supported by such an array of noblemen, Members of Par liament, landowners, ironmasters, and other gentlemen, whose in terests demand its construction, together with a large proprietary of unexampled respectability, full one-half being local, should have been frustrated by the circumstances which they have set forth. They are consoled, however, by the conviction that a railway so im pe"atively demanded by the locatty, possessing gradients superior to any other line in the district, accommodating South Staffordshire and Shropshire in a manner that no other scheme can do, bringing the respective places in Recourse much nearer to each other than any other project does, and gaining, as it has, so great an amount of public favour by its undoubted merits, must shortly be carried out. It now only remains for the Committee to say that they should fail in fully discharging their duty, if they did not express their per fect satisfaction with the conduct of the solicitors and the secretary, all of whom have paid the most unremitting attention to.their re spective duties, and have used their utmost exertions to advance the interests of the Company. The report having been read, the following resolutions were unanimously carried:— I. That the report now read to the Commite be adopted and published, at the discretion of the Committee, in te the local and daily newspapers. 2. That the further. services of Mr. Francis Giles, as engineer to this Company, be at once dispensed with. 3. That the Committee of Management take such proceedings against Mr. Giles, their late engineer, as counsel may advise. 4. That the warmest thanks of the Committee are eminently due to Richard Heath and Joseph King, Esqs., for remaining in Birming ham during the eventful period ending with the 30th of November, and lending their valuable assistance to secure the deposit of the plans and sections. had received—' " The plans are, as I consider, in good condition." On the 10th of November, Mr. Collis thus writes to Mr. Giles— " I know you will pardon my expressing deep anxiety as to every thing being done in due time, particularly that we may have the Sec tions and surveys finished, as the middle of November Is nearly arrived." • Three days afterwards, viz., on the 13th, Mr. Collis says— " I hope you will nse every means to complete the sections with the least possible delay. I assure you we all feel extreme anxiety on tile subject. Should you want me, or if I can do anything to for- Ward you, pray send for me, or let me know immediately." The next day, the 14th, Mr. Collis again urges Mr. Giles onward, by saying— " We quite rely upon your having all ready, and that the sections are in the hands of the lithographer. Bear in mind that the 29th is only twelve days off, and that the sections must be sent before then to us, and be ready to deposit. I trust you will excuse my most earnestly beseeching you to use every possible exertion to complete everything as quickly as practicable. The general impression is, that we shall not be ready. • We must not spare exertion of any kind ; in fact, we must keep faith with the public." On the 19th, Mr. Collis writes— " I have just heard that Houghton thinks there is some misunder standing between you and the lithographer. If there be the slightest foundation for this, I beg and pray of you not to lose an instant in setting this matter right. Excu se my personally entreating you to use every exertion, as I am daily pressed on the subject." To this Mr. Giles replies on the 20th— " I know of no misunderstanding between me and the lithographer. Don't give credit to such nonsense." The same day, the 20th, Mr. Collis writes to Mr. Giles as follows— " I am desired by the Committee to beg and entreat you to see that the sections are completed, and placed in the lithogra.pher's hands as speedily as possible. I do hope you will excuse my writing so ur gently to you. I do seriously assure you that we all feel that honour and characters are at stake, to say nothing of the large sum of money that would be sacrificed if our plans and sections are not duly deposited." On the 21st, Mr. Giles replied as follows— " I beg that you will not be in any anxiety about lithographing the sections. Mr. Houghton will get some done in Birmingham. I will get all the rest done, and have provided for it. You shall deposit on the 29th. I come to Birmingham to-morrow night, by express train, to meet my troops, who are all to assemble at Dees to-morrow night." Mr. Collie's next letter to Mr. Giles is dated November 21st, in which he says— " I know you will not like my troubling you with these m repeated urge nt letters, but I confess I a m so strongly pressed by nu of people daily, that I feel painfully anxious that we should not fail in keeping good faith with our shareholders." Mr. Giles replies on the 22d— • "If you come to me to-morrow, in order to be made certain of my work being done, I will even show you my plan and arrangements for it—otherwise be assured of it - The Committee, feeling that the foregoing extracts abundantly confirm the assertion with which they set out, will now refer to the statements made to them by Mr. Joseph King and Mr. Heath, two active members of the Committee, who were in Birmingham, watch ing the later proceedings. Mr. King states that he went to Birmingham, at the urgent re quest of Mr. Collis, in company with him and Mr. Heath, on Thurs day, the 27th of November, and that he remained there till Satur day night, with the exception of a few hours on Friday, during which period he had every reason to believe that the business was pro ceeding satisfactorily. Mr. Heath reports that he accompanied Mr. Collid ro Birmingham on the 18th of November, at his request, to have an interview with Mr. Giles, who had stated that he should be there that night. They and Mr. Wainwright saw Mr. Giles after midnight. at the Royal Hotel, when he gave them the most positive assurances that every thing would be ready in time. The following Monday, the 24th, Mr. Heath again went to Birmingham with Mr. Collis, when Mr. Giles repeated his former assertions that everything would be ready. Three days afterwards, Thursday, the 27th, Mr. Heath, at Mr. Collis's request, once more went to Birmingham, accompanied by Mr. Collis and Mr Joseph King, and remained there until he had seen the various gentlemen start on Sunday night to make their re spective deposits. About five o'clock on Sunday afternoon Mr. Heath saw Mr. Houghton deliver the plans to the several solicitors, in doing which he (Mr. Houghton) expressed his obligations to them and the other gentlemen connected with the Company, for the assistance they had rendered him, adding that the sections would be ready in half an ' A Z4 RYLEBONE, DECEMBER 6, 1845, TO BRICKMAKERS, &c. o f m —e Vestrymen of this parish hereby give notice that tiN, s„ et in the Vestry-room of the Court-house of the said tl t ° re t ,,..""DAX, December 27, at Eleven o'clock in the fore tz,`‘'e TENDERS from persons willing to CONTRACT for da' and ASHES of the said parish for ONE YEAR, from °l.January next.

Gentlemen,—l have the pleasure to inform yo,t, that the plans and sections of the line have been completed, and were duly depo sited at the office of the Board of Trade, and at the offices of the Clerks of the Peace in the counties of Chester and Lancaster, on Saturday, the 29th ult. The utmost care and. precaution have been t tken to make the plans and sections accurate in every particular; and their having passed under my own immediate inspection, warrants me in saying, that the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament have been complied with. By reference to the phut; and sections, you will perceive that the gradients and curves are of the most favourable description, fully bearing out the opinion I give on first going over the ground, that no country could possibly (Ar greater engineering facilities for the con struction of a railway. lam therefore satisfied that this line will be worked at as moderate a cost as any in the country. I have not yet completed a detailed estimate, but from calcula tions I have already made, I am of opinion that tny previous estimate will be fully sufficient for carrying out and completing the line. During the survey, I have had every opportunity of ascertaining the feelings and opinions of the owners and oceepiers of the land through which it is proposed to pass, and can say, with confidence, that they are generally in favour of the project, and have every wish for its success. Having been requested by many of your board to give nay opinion as to the ultimate success of the line, I do not hesitate to do so, although Ido not consider it within my province. the success of it does not, in my opinion, admit of a doubt. Ido not look upon this Hue as dependent upon local traffic, bat as a link in a great and im portant chain of railways, which will form the most (area and best communication with the South-Eastern and Midland Counties, as well as with the great and important towns in the north-west of England and Scotland. With this view, it would be impossible to over-estimate the Importance of the undertaking, or the amount of traffic ; but . I have no hesitation in saying, that the returns to the shareholders will be quite equal to the average of the test lines in the kingdom.—l remain, Gentlemen, your obedient, faithful servant, H. T.

BETTS and CO.), Patent Brandy Distiller, 7, Smithfield Bars, feels it due to himself and the public to state, that the Manufacture of the PATENT BRANDT was not, and never has been known to any person except to himself and one of his sons. And that he was succeeded in the business of the Dis tillery, 7, Smithfield Bars, by his sous, J. T. BETTS, jun., and CO., on his retiring therefrom? in 1843. Mr. BETTS further states, that he is the sole Patentee, manufac turer, and vendor of the Metallic Capsule, (or solid metal covering for the muths of bottles), that no other Brandy in England, except BETTS'S o PATENT BRANDY, is thereby protected ; the Patent Metallic Capsule if, therefore, applied to any other Brandy, must have been surreptitiously obtained.

After this interview with Mr. Houghton, the party left to'prepare for starting, and returned to Mr. Houghton's office about half-past five o'clock in the afternoon, where they remained until twenty minutes to nine in the evening, and during this period, facts of such importance are spoken to, that the Committee feel bound, not withstanding its length and the reluctance of Mr. Heath, to give a letege portion of his report in detail. After stating that they found Mr. Joshua John Peele, of Shrewsbury (solicitor to the Wor cester and Crewe, and also to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail way Companies), and Mr. Hood (a relative of Mr. Roy, the other so licitor to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company), in Mr. Hough ton's waiting room, ready to convey the Worcester and Crewe plans for deposit, Mr. Heath thus proceeds : " Between seven and eight o'clock Mr. Peele was sent for by Mr. Houghton, and he remained in Mn Houghton's room until after the delivery of the sections by Mr. Houghton to the respective solicitors. At this period I became very anxious, and requested Mr. Collis to see Mr. Houghton. Mr. Collis accordingly went into Mr. Houghton's room on the first floor, but immediately returned and told us that Mr. Houghton positively insisted on his leaving the room. Shortly after this Mr. Giles came out of Mr. Houghton's room, and on my asking him respecting the sections, Mr. Giles said that they had ~peen out of his hands some time, and that they were under Mr. Houghton's care, upon which I again requested Mr. Collis to go to Mr. Houghton. Mr. Collis, consequently, went a second time, but came back directly and said that Mr. Peele (whom I saw in Mr. Houghton's room when the door was opened) refused to admit him, telling him (Mr. Collis) that Mr. Houghton would soon hand out the sections. Mr. Collis further said that he had remonstrated with' Mr. Peele on the impropriety of his being in Mr. Houghton's room at suA a moment. Thus matters stood, the solicitors and myselfremaining in a small room adjoining Mr. Houghton's, in a state of great anxiety; a person being then stationed in the passage leading to the door of Mr. Houghton's room, who positively refused to allow any one of us to pass to it. Soon after eight o'clock Mr. Peele, from Mr. Hoagh ton's room, called the respective solicitors of the Company, who ac cordingly went into the room, whither I followed them ; and where I saw Mr. Houghton give to each of them certain rolls, which he said contained the sections of the Dudley and Madeley line com plete, except the section of the branch from Rudge to Wolverhamp ton, which he said should be delivered out in a few minutes, if it could be found, adding that they were then engaged in looking for it. We then left Mr. Houghton and went into the anti-room, where we consulted together as to the propriety of the solicitors at once pro ceeding to their respective destinations (the evening being so far ad vanced), to deposit such sections as they had ; but it was at length agreed that Mr Houghton should be again distinctly asked if the rolls he had given to each of the solicitors contained the sections of the whole line, except the Wolverhampton branch ; for which pur pose Mr. Collis once more went to Mr. Houghton's room, Mr. Wain wright, another of the Company's solicitors, following him. Mr. Collis returned immediately, and reported that Mr. Hough ton had told him, contrary to what heoe(Mr. Houghton) had previously stated, that the respective bundles did not contain the whole of the sections with the exception of the before-mentioned branch. Upon this the solicitors and myself held another con ference, during which Mr. Collis partially unrolled one of the bundles of Sections, and it appearingthat Dudley was upon one sheet and Shrewsbury upon another, the solicitors and I came to the con clusion that the rolls which they had received comprised the sections of the entire main line, contrary to Mr. Houghton's last statement. Immediately upon this discovery being made, Mr. Peele called from Mr. Houghton's room for Mr. Collis, whither he went, returning directly, and stating that Mr. Houghton had now informed him that their respective rolls did contain the whole of the Sections of the line, with the exception of the Wolverhampton branch. The same state ment as to the correctness of the rolls was made by nd Mr. Houghto colleagues n to the other solicitors of the Company. Mr. Collis a his then started, at twenty minutes before nine o'clock. with much pain, " Mr. Heath concludes as follows :—" Observing, that attempts have been made to impute blame to the solicitors, in reference to their conduct on Sunday, the 30th of November, and preceding days, and particularly that a scene of gross confusion and disorder occurred in the surveyor's room, in which they are impliedly charged as participators, I feel that though I have shown they were rigidly denied access to Mr. Houghton's room, I owe it to the Com pany, to these gentlemen, and to myself, as a member of the Manag ing Committee, to declare that a more unfounded calumny could not have been uttered. I was with these gentlemen during the whole of Sunday ; I had many opportunities of observing their unrem littinghave exertions on the preceding days — l may s a y ni g hts also ; and great pleasure in stating that, with whomsoever the blament of of thar is failure may rest, it was in no way attributable to any Wa rangement or zeal, or activity, on the part of the solicitors, or of the secretary, their conduct throughout, and especially during the most critical period, having been praiseworthy in the highest deg ree." The Committee have also received reports from the solicitors: re. (erring to the circumstances detailed by Mr. Heath, and speaking in the highest terms of the exertions made by Mr. Houghton to com plete his portion of the work in good time, up to the period of the delivery of the plans ; ut they do not think it necessary, after uot ing at so great a lengt b h front Mr. Heath's statement, to allude to them ffirther at present. Notwithstanding the foregoing facts show it was next to an impos sibility to make the deposits in time at Shrewsbury and London, the Committee think it no more than justice to state, that the most strenuous exertions were made to do so, Mr. Anstice posting to the former place, a distance of forty-five miles, in three hours and twenty seven minutes, and Mr. Wainwright arriving at the Board of Trade, in London, upwards of one hundred and fourteen miles, by the aid of a special engine, in three hours and forty-six minutes, both gentle men having been retarded on their way by accidents on the road. The journey to Stafford, twenty-six miles, might have been readily accomplished by Mr. Collis, but he was detained a long time on the road between Birmingham and Walsall, in consequence of the great misconduct of his postboys, which was such as to induce suspicion that unfair means had been employed to retard his journey. Hy great exertion Mr. Collis ultimately reached Stafford in due time. Mr. Houghton made the deposit at Wo: cester also in good time. As soon as the failure in the deposits was known, a meeting of the Committee was hastily summoned at Dudley, when Mr. Giles and Mr. Houghton attended. The former off'red .no excuse for his con duet, further than that" he had been disappointed, adding that no parties could have behaved better or acted more handsomely, than the Committee and the officers of the Company had behaved towards him; and he at once admitted, that even if the lateness of the de posits could he got over, his sections were in some instances so de fective, thtt they would not bear a searching examination. In an swer to questions which were pressed upon him, he said " That the sections of the cross line from Stourbridge to Wolverhampten were strictly correct ; in fact, he believed the sections of the whole scheme were complete, with the single exception of the branch to Wolver hampton." Mr. Houghton expressed his sorrow at the failure to de posit, and his regret at the mis-statement made by him to Mr. Collis on Sunday evening ; justifying himself, however, by saying that he was greatly excited at the time, from his previous exertions, and that he corrected himself immediately. Tins, the Committee may remark, is opposed to Mr. Heath's statement, by which it appears that soma time elapsed before Mr. Houghton re aalled his previOUS VA this gateman is echlinholl by the - - - - DEATH OF THE BISHOP OE JERUSALEM.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.—The principal intelli gence I have to-day to send you is,. that Russia has at last entered into a new commercial treaty with the Porte, which will place her in the same commercial relations with this country asthe other nations of Europe. This measure so long urged, especially by Great Britain, on the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and so long delayed, has certainly been very reluctantly adopted. Since 1839, when England and other western states trading with the Otto man empire formed their present common treaty of com merce, for so their separate treaties may . be called, with the Porte, it has been a constant complaint against Rus sia that she has refused to trade with this country on the same terms as other nations. _ _ BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.

B. and Son, submit the following cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies," and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such ,great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most usefld and convenient sauce; will keep good in all climates. _ _ Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London. The Original Fish-sauce Warehouse, - It is perhaps necessary to remind your readers that the commercial treaty of 1839, alluded to, was framed for the express purpose of putting an end to a system of trade which was alike injurious to the foreign and the native merchant, and to the general consumer. Up to the date just named, raitny of the most imrortant objects of commerce in Turkey could not be brought into the market for foreign importation without a firman from the Turkish thavernment. This firman was sold to certain merchants fora sum .a good deal under the value of the merchandise they, by virtue of the firman, became pos sessed of. The merchandise, corn or wool, or whatever it might be, was then sold again, and a third time, perhaps, before it came fairly into the public mart. And by this means a very large revenue was secured to the Porte, and the most vicious monopolies were established. In the interior provinces of Turkey especially, this system was found to be most vexa tious, ruinously to the disadvantage of the fair, unprotected trader, whilst it enriched enormously fa voured individuals. The public revenue, however, ac cruing therefrom could not be dispensed with till some other source of revenue should be opened. England, therefore, and other,pa tions agreed with the Porte that, on the condition of these firman monopolies being , abolished, the import duties on foreign merchandise and the export duties on the home produce and manufactures of this country shoul4 be considerably augmented. The tariff was accordingly; raised to 5 per cent. for imports, and to 12 per cent. (altogether) for exports. By this arrangement all parties were great gainers. By the suppression of monopolies the commerce of Turkey with foreign nations has, within the last few years, been much increased. But Russia refused from the beginning to adopt the new arrangement, and by so doing she set all fairness at defiance, as she necessarily partook of all the advantages which England and other States had been glad to purchase at a heavy cost. The tariff to which Russian trade till now has been subject in this country- has only been 3 per cent. for import duties and 5 per cent. for exports. She has thus for several years enjoyed here immense com mercial privileges, ,which she has had all to herself, and of course Russian merchaats have thriven, in what ever part of the Ottoman empire they have opened busi ness, above those of any other nation. These advan tages are not, however, to be relinquished. After a long negotiation of two years the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has consented to be placed on the same commercial foot ing with the Porte as other foreign States. The Eng lish and Preach merchants here naturally rejoice much in this event; the more so as they had fully persuaded themselves that it would never be brought PRICE SD.

At the Custom-house end, Salthouse Dock will be carried up towards Mersey_street, its proposed width being . 380 feet, and its length 720. Between these two docks will intervene a third, oplansite the Duke's Dock, extending to Hurst-street, 390 feet long an d 170 wide. These measurements are taken from the plan, and are suffi ciently accurate for the purpose of understanding the design.

Another event, .which may turn out to be of much greater importance still, I have now to mention to you. Three railroad Companies—one in England, one in Belgium, and one is Sardinia—have made proposals to the Ottoman Government to undertake, on their own risk and responsibility, lines of railroad in Turkey, on the condition, of course, of possessing a secure right of property in the enterprise—a right of a sort which no European has ever yet been suffered to hold in this empire. The Porte, lam informed, is now entertaining these proposals with a very good will to close at least with one of them ; and as Reschid Pacha will now be at the head of affairs here, one may feel pretty sure that Turkish bigotry against European innovations and improvements will net. be allowed to hinder the fair con sideration of a projrct which looks so full of promise of progress for the country. It is certainly too soon to an ticipate the consequences of suck a project, yet so preg nant with mighty consequences must it be, should it ever be realised, that it is difficult not to look forward to them. One word only, however, I will say thereupon; viz., that frequency of communication and intercourse between different parts of this - empire, or between any two of its distant and important sites, seems the only possible means of rousing its inhabitants into a sense of their being not scattered like communities, or rather mere groups of individuals—but a people; and that as the people, or popular liberties in other countries have produced all the great mechanical inventions of the present age in the west, so the introduction of the greatest of these inventions into the east would in its turn produce a people—would, if anything could, give a public life and will, a consciousness of aggregate national existence to numerous populations which at present exist in utter disconnexion, simply as loose crowds, inhabiting the same place. Au reste, not to dwell on a view which may seem to you unfit for a letter, all are agreed that the first want of this empire is the want of roads. Instead of roads, then, to give railroads would be making a giant stride in advance. And as to the practicability of the thing, I have the opinion of a very accomplished Turk, bolding an important office under the Government of the Porte, and of several Europeans who have long been inhabitants of this country, that the enterprise would offer every probability of success. Three lines of road have even already been spoken of—one from this capital to Adrianople, another to Smyrna, and a third to Varna. I will sp'eik only of the advantages which the Adrianople line would present. That city has very ex tensive commercial relations with Constantinople, and yet the communication between these two first cities of the Ottoman empire is a most fatiguing. tedious, and ex pensive one. By land it requires four or five days' tra velling on horseback on bad roads (the distance is 150 miles, and by water there are in every season difficulties of another kind. The port of Enos is nearly blocked up with the accumulated deposits of the River Maritza, and is therefore a very unsafe harbour, and the river itself, full of rocks, in winter has its banks generally over flooded, and in summer has often so scanty a stream in its channels, that large boats cannot sail up to Adrian- ople. A railroads consequently, on this line would offer the best prospects of SUCCe3S. lam assured by those whose opinion is of weight, that the speculation could not fail to be a very profitable one. The English proposal on this subject to the Porte has come from two substantial mercantile houses of Liverpool. I hope it will meet no impediment from the question of property, the very considerable property its a3option would give to foreigners on the Ottoman territory. If this qnestion does not interpose a hindering obstruc tion, one will have to rejoice that the rage for railways has taken this eastern direction, for whilst lucre by the establishment of railroad lines in this country would primely be sought, this appetite for gainful enterprise would furnish, at the same time, the most powerful means of giving a civilising impulse to the whole east, whereby the work otherwise of centuries may haply be accomplished in a single generation. I told you in my last letter that the disarming of the Lebanon had been completed, and with respect to the Lebanon, strictly speaking, this information was correct. But I learn that numerous bands of Druses and Maro nites have taken refuge in the Hauran, a mountain close upon the Lebanon, inhabited by the tribe of the Metualis, which spot, from its strong natural defences, it will be extremely difficult to disarm. The disarming of it by Ibrahim Pacha was made at a very great sacrifice of men, and it is said by many that unless the inhabitants can be induced to surrender their arms on terms, the military force under Namik Pacha must be increased in order to effect that purpose. M. de Bourquenay has addressed a note of an apolo getic character to the Porte, on the subject of the me nace made by the Belle Poule to violate the Ottoman territory to rescue the French dragoman who had been arrested and put in prison, as I wrote to you in a former letter, by the Turkish authorities. It appears that the boat's crew of the French steamer did not on that occa sion land ; but their commander threatened only to do so, if the demand of the French Consul were not com plied with. It is to apologise for this threat that the French Ambassador has addressed the note I speak of to the Porte. His tone is much changed since his late explosions. Bat- no doubt in this instance he has acted with the dignity befitting the representative of a great nation in apologising for a gross insult offered to the Ot toman Government by the malapert hot-headed violence of the French Consul at Beyrout. A dispatch from Reschid Pacha has been received by the Porte, in which the ex-ambassador from this country to France declares he shall with all possible expedition take his departure from Paris. He is expected here on the 14th of next month, but may possibly arrive on the 4th. I have just learnt that the Porte has issued circulars prohibiting the exportation of corn from Roumelia, after the expiration of a month, on the pretext of the great s -amity . that exists throughout the empire , but e s p eciall y in Syria. But this subject is too important to b menti e treatned ed of at the close of a letter; therefore, having o the fact, I will say n o more.—Chronicle Coresponde n t . DOCK-TARD.-.—lt is likely that the present system of mustering the workmen in the dockytuds will be done e away with, and the old plan of " recalling" resumed. Lords of the Admiralty some time since ordered the authori ties at the dock-yards to report upon the system ; and we understand that the reports invariably condemn it as au in efficient check and a waste of time.

" Whitefield's bones! and what of them? They have long since been mingled with kindred dust—' massed into the common clay.' Seventy-fire years have sunk into the grave of ages since the Prince of Preachers was laid down in the narrow bed, from which he never rose but in the spirit. Only the memory of Whitefield survives—his immortal part is now wearing its crown, and with the Elders he is waving his palm; but of, the tabernacle' in which he tarried on earth for a season, no trace can remain. It was committed to dast ' long, long ago,' and nothing but the blast of the archangel's trump shall collect the scattered atoms, and bid the dry bones live. Such may be, perchance, the exclamation of the reader, on glancing at the heading of this sketch; but let me crave his patience whilst I relate, as simply as may be, the particulars of a xilgrimage which, scarcely more than two months ago, I made to Whitefield's bones, for, to the everlasting disgrace of those who might prevent it, they are exposed to the public view " a marvel and a show." I was spending a Sunday at Old Ipswich, in the latter part of last September, when, by accident, I fell in with an old inhabitant of the town who had heard Whitefield preach there. He was a sort of patriarch of the place, and as he sat on one of the stones which surrounded the ancient orthodox meeting-house, his grey locks stream ing from beneath his queerly- shaped hat, and attired in his primly-cut old-fashioned coat, he appearel no bad representative of the departed Puritans who, in former days, had soberly and decently obeyed the call of the Sabbath bell, and worshipped in the same temple whose steeple now cast its shadow athwart the green sward beneath. A Sabbath in a New England village is quite a-primi tive affair. The old-fashioned folk commence it on the Saturday evening, but the custom is confined to, and will probably die out with them. Where it is observed in all its strictness, every occupation ceases about six o'clock. All loud and boisterous talk is hushed, and the old clock in the corner ticks audibly, whilst the family circle, consisting as well of the domestics as of the members of the family, gather round the wood fire, and listen to the head of the house read and expound the Scriptures. As the bell of Old Ipswich church swung out that bright Sabbath morning, it was a pretty sight to see the village people coming from different points to the decay ing old church, which was situated, as most country churches in New England are, on a hill top. Whilst I was enjoying the scene, the old man to whom I have alluded, and who was sitting on a stone, accosted me, and asked if I was not a stranger in " those parts?" On my informing him that I was, he became very loquacious, and pointed out to me the various " lions " of the neighlnurhood, which consisted of such places as " Heartbreak-hill," " Lovers'-lane," and other affec tionately-named localities, and wound up by observing, "I suppose, Sir, you've a-heard of Whitefield?" Of Whitefield! to be sure I had; and then it occurred to me that the celebrated preacher had often visited Ame rica, and recollections of a fine old mezzotint portrait of him, which used to hang over the family mantel-piece when I was a boy, became vivid, and my curiosity was thoroughly excited as the old gentleman said, when I nodded my head in reply to his query, " Well, I've a-seen Whitefield ; George Whitefield stood on this very stone," and he dropped his stick feebly from his shakino. hands, "and I heard him preach here. ' " And do you remember anything about him?" I asked. " Well, I guess, I do. I was but a bit of a boy then, but here he stood on this stone, looking like a flying angel, and we do call this Whitefield's pulpit to this day. That other stone, further on, is the one on which they tell the devil lighted when he jumped over the church. The mark of his toes is to be seen now; but that's non sense, and neither here nor there." " He'd a-preached in Boston, on the common," con tinued the old man, "in the morning, and came over here to give a sermon in the afternoon, and he went from here to Newburyport in the evening. There was folk here from all parts to hear'n; so he was obligated to speak outside, for the church warn't half big enough for 'em, and no twos ways about it. I've a-hearn many pa-arsons sin' that time, but none on 'em could come nigh he, anyhow they could fix it." "Do you remember anything of his sermon ?" I inquired. " Oh ! I was too young to notice aright, Sir, but the preacher himself and the crowds of people, but I know he had a very sweet voice, and, as I said when he spread his arms out, with his little Bible in his hand, he looked for all the world like a flying angel. There never were so many people afore or since in old Ipswich. I suppose, Sir, you'll be goin' to see his bones ?" " His bones—whose bones ?" I asked, in some asto nishment. " Why, Mr. Whitefield's. He was buried at New. buryport, and you can see 'em if you like. The sexton shows 'em, but only strangers go to see 'em, I here." I made up my mind that I would see them too, if pos sible; but I regarded the affair as an old man's story, until I learned from other quarters that what he had stated was true. I attended service in the church, which is one of the oldest in America, and was, therefore, more interesting than a modern erection would have been. There was the old pulpit, with elaborate carvings about it, and of a forty-parson power size. It was surmounted by an enormous sounding board, which was decorated by a gilded star. There had been a similar gorgeous decora tion in front of the pulpit, but it had been considered too gay by a rigid deacon, who scraped off, with his own pious hands, the gold leaf. The pews were very capa cious, and square, old-fashioned high-backed chairs be ing used as seats. In a very high and deep gallery was an ample spacosfor the choir, which was an exceedingly good one ; and en peasant, I would observe that the Americans are far beyond us so far as hymn singing is concerned, and it would not be amiss if some of the dole ful tunesters in our churches and chapels would imitate our transatlantic brethren in this respect. After listen ing to the delightful congregational singing its New England, the monotonous, melancholy music of our me tropolitan dissenting choirs, seemed to me dismal in the extreme. But to my more immediate subject. On the following day, I went over to Newburyport by railroad, and having previously ascertained the inte resting spats, I proceeded first to the house in which Whitefield died. It stands in School-street, and was at one time the residence of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons, the first regular pastor of the Presbyterian Society in the town. It is a plain, unpretending structure, consist ing of two floors, and possessing no other claims to at tention than its being near the spot where the last scene of Whitefield's career was enacted. I knocked at the door, and asked of a servant girl who answered my sum mons, if I might be allowed to see the room in which Mr. Whitefield died, taking it for granted that so memo rable an occurrence must have been familiar to her mind. She looked me in the face for some time, and then replied that no one of that name lived there ; and finding I could make nothing of her, I was turning away, when a lady came forward from a side room, and on learning my business, and receiving my apologies for the intru sion, very courteously showed me up a flight of stairs into a chamber which she said Mr. Whitefield used to sleep in. I surveyed the room with some interest ; but the cha racter of it must have been greatly altered since White field's time, for there was a very pretty French bed, and smart window curtains, and portraits of George Wash ington and General Jackson, and a whole army of Pre sidents, and a view of Bunker-hill Monument, and similar matters, but nothing whatever to remind me of White field. " Here is the place he died in," said the lady ; and she showed me a little entry just outside the door of the bed-chamber, directly over the entrance to the house. A window in this recess commanded a view of the road in front of the dwelling. " He lay, the night before he died," said the lady, "in that bedchamber, and when he was took for death he ran out to this entry-window for breath, and died whilst sitting in a chair opposite it." A host of thoughts crowded to my mind as I stood on the spot where the great man gasped, and gasped for air, and then breathed out his life. So simply and so graphically is the last scene of all described by his ser vant, Richard Smith, who attended him from England to America the last time he ever crossed the Atlantic, that I cannot forbear quoting here from his narrative. There is no flourish or parade about it ; its interest lies in the little facts which it records, and which, in connexion Kith Whitefield, are of such deep interest. The ac count," it has been said, " has all the constituents of a completed drama;" and what could close it more graphi cally than that single, simple fact, of " the people who went weeping through the streets to their respective places of abode ?" "On the morning of his death, at a quarter-past four, he waked, and said, 'My asthma, my asthma is coming on; I wish I bad not given out word to preach at Ilaverhill,ioiti Monday ; I don't think I shall be able; b ut I shall see w:a to-day will bring forth. If lam no better to-morrow, take two or three days' ride!' He t hen desired me to warm him a little gruel; and, in breaking Mr. Parsons, who, thinking I knocked for him, rose i hin t , bow the fire . wood,onl and came c a a k o e l d e in. lie went to Whitetield's bed•side, and aske, (locate he felt himself. He answered, am almost sp ocatc( quick, and then not a little surprised, to hear !now 1 can scarce breathe, my asthma chokes me. I Was with what difficulty, he drew his . breath. He got out of bed, and went to open the window for air, This was exactly five o'clock. I went to him, and for about live minutes saw no danger, only that he had a great difficulty in breathing, as I had often seen before. Soon after he turned to me, and said, am dying.' I said, ' I hope not, Sir.' He ran to the other window, panting for breath, but could get no relief. It was agreed that I should go back for Dr. sawyer; and on my coining back, I saw death on his face; d himhe drew some an d he again said, I ant His eyes were fixed, hi went t u o n s t ‘ l ,a e rds rli i t ) h d e r l a v ' i N i - l i t i lo ii \ i v s , va a r n d d timeewveer o y ffe b w re a a r t m h lake some lavender drops, which he refused • I persuaded him to sit down in a chair, and have his cloak on • he consented by a sign, but could not speak. I then offered I tim the glass of warm wine; he took half of it, but it seemed as if it would have stopped his breath entirely. In a little time he brought up a considerable quantity of phlegm and wind. I then began to have some small hopes. Mr. Parsons said, he thought Whitefield breathed more freely than he did, and would recover. I said, No, Sir, he is certainly dying.' I was I continually employed in taking the phlegm out of his mouth with ahandlserchief, and batlsing his temples withdrops, rub -1 Bing his wrists, c., to give him relief, ifpossible, but all in vain ; his hands and feet were as cold as cltay. When the doctor came in, and saw him in the chair, 1 eaning upon my breast, he felt his pulse, and said, He is a dead man.' Mr. Par sons said, ' I do not believe it ; you must do something doctor !' He said, • I cannot ; he is now near his last breath.' And indeed, so it was • for be fetched but one gasp, and stretched out his feet, and breathed no more. This was exactly at six o'clock. We continued rubbing his legs, hands, and feet with warm cloths, and bathed him with spirits for some time, but all in vain. I then put him into a warm bed, the doctor standing by, and often raised him upright, continued rubbing him, and putting spirits to his nose for an hour, till all hopes were gone. The people came in crowds to see him ; I begged the doctor to shut the door." Of the funeral he says— " When the corpse was placed at the foot of the pulpit, close to the vault, the Rev. Daniel Rogers made a very affecting prayer, and openly confessed, that under God, he owed his conversion to the labours of that dear man of God, whose precious remains now lay before them. Then he cried out, omy father, my father,' then stopped and wept, as though his heart would break and the peopie weeping all through the place. Then he recovered, and finished his prayer, and sat down and wept. Then one of the deacons gave out that hymn, ' Why do we mourn departing friends,' &c., some of the people weeping, some singing, and so on alter nately. The Rev. Mr. Jewel preached a funeral discourse, and made an affectionate address to his brethren, to lay to heart the death of that useful man of (rod; begging that he and they might be upon their watch-tower, and endeavour to follow his blessed example. The corpse was then put into the vault, and all concluded with a short prayer and dismis sion of the people, who went weeping through the streets to their respective places of abode." - - The Federal-street Church, where Whitfield was buried, was but a short distance from the house in which he died, and on my way to it I stopped at the sexton's house. That functionary was not at home, but a little bov came up to me with several keys in his hand, and said he could show me the church, which he did. There was not much to see, excepting - the Whitefield monu ment ; and when I had read the iuscription thereon, I asked the boy to show me the vault. " No one but father does that," said The boy ; " he won't be here this half hour." "Is there any one about the neighbourhood knew Whitefield ?" I asked of him. __ _ " Yes, there's old Sam'l Wilkinson, as lives fit street—he says he seed'un." And then, in obedience to my request, the lad pilots me to the house of' a very old man, of whom I inquire if he had known the. great preacher ? " Yes," said he, " and I was in the room with him just five minutes or so- ,after he died. I was only Six years - ofilthen; and I don't know as I ever went with the crowds to hear him, but I saw hirer dead and buried." I had further talk with this old man, and then went back to the church, at the door of which I found the sex ton waiting for me. lit‘ preceded me through the aisle of the church, and, opening a little narrow door by the side of the pulpit, we passed into a dim, dingy room behind it, and from thence, descending four or five steps, found ourselves in a brick vault, which lay directly under the pulpit. It was two or three minutes before my eyes got accustomed to the gloom ; but soon objects became dis cernable, and I saw three old coffins, two of them ser ving as supports to the third, which lay across them. Oae of these coffins contained the remains of the Rev. Jonathan Parsons, the pastor of the church when Whiteield was preaching here, and another holds the bones of the Rev. Joseph Prince, a blind travelling preacher, who died in 1791, and the third was White field's. _~, Just as if he was going to exhibit some common curiosity, the sexton trimmed his lamp, then lifted the lid off ao old coffin, and holding the flame close to it, said, " Here, look in ;" and then, pointing to a heap of bones, gathered together at the head of the shell, said, in a very business-like tone, " THAT'S THE MA.N." Yes—there lay the man,or, at least, all that remained of the once mighty preacher. For all I knew, the heap of dirt, the skull, and the loose bones, might have been any one else's. But a strange awe came over me at his words, " That is the wan." I took the skull in my hands and examined it narrowly. The forehead was rather narrow than broad— by no means high. I soon put it back again to the coffin, ft ir I bethought me of Shakspeare's malediction, and felt as if I had committed sacrilege by touching the precious relics. It is said that one of the arm bones was stolen, and is in England. Philip, in his " Life and Times," refers to this with just indignation. For my own part, did I know the possessor of it, I would print his name, for the purpose of shaming him into restoration. There are some other interesting sepulchres in New buryport ; amongst them, the grave of Thomas Parker, one of the early ministers. Cotton Mather thus quaintly and beautifully speaks of him : "He went unto the immortals in April, 1677, in the 82d year of his age, after he had lived all his (lays a single man; but a great part of his days engaged in Apocalyptic studies, he went unto the Apocalyptic virgins who follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes." With an anecdote of Whitefield, which, I believe, is not generally known in England, I conclude this article: "In the last visit but one which Whitefield paid to America, he spent a day or two at Princeton, under the roof of the Rev. Dr. Finley, then president of the college at that place. At dinner, the Doctor said, Mr. Whitefield, I hope it will be very long before you will be called home, but when that event shall arrive, I should be glad to hear the noble testimony you will bear for God." You would be disap pointed, doctor,' said Whitefield, I shall die silent. It has pleased God to enable me to bear so many testimonies for him during my life, that he will require none from me when I die. No, no. It is your dumb Christians, that have walked in fear and darkness, and thereby been unable to bear a testi mony for God during their lives, that he compels to speak out for him on their death-beds.' " This anecdote was related a few months ago to a gen tleman of New York, by an individual now living, who was then a student in the college, and a boarder in Dr. Finley's family. The manner of Whitefield's death ful filled his prediction. WHIZ. CALLING OUT OF THE MILITIA. The following circular in reference to the enrolment of the Militia has been addressed by the War-office to the colonels of the different regiments in Great Britain: " GREAT BRITAIN. " War-office, December, 1845. "Her Majesty having been graciously pleased to signlfy her commands that the permanent staff of the several regiments, battalions, or corps of the Militia of Great Britain shall be completed to the numbers limited by the Act of the sth and 6th William IV., cap. 37, I have the honour to acquaint you that the establishment of the staff of the regiment under your command should be completed as soon as practicable, so as to consist of the numbers specified in the margin— " I Adjutant. " 1 Sergeant-Major. " 7 Sergeants. " A communication will be addressed to you respect ing the adjutants by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county. " A-. it appears that there are several vacancies in the rank of sergeant, and it being highly essential that those vacancies should be tilled by active and efficient non-commissioned officers, whose former services in the regular army have rendered them particularly qualified for the duty of drilling recruits in the modern and im proved principle of military instruction, I have caused to be prepared a list of non-commissioned officers (pen sioners of Chelsea Hospital), whose efficiency and ex cellent character combine to render them eligible to supply the existing vacancies; and I beg leave to state that, upon the expression of your wish to avail yourself of the facility offered by this arrangement, I shall be enabled to recommend to you, from among the pension ers residing in your district, the number of sergeants requisite to complete the staff. " Adverting to the recent inspection of the staff of your regiment, I have to observe that, although the in specting officers have reported that several of theqier geants are unfit for the performance of duties, in the event of the Militia being embodied for active service, yet they are not wholly incapacitated from the perform ance of local duties incidental to the ballot, enrolment, as well as the exercise of the Militia, and would be able to afford valuable information on the first training; upon these grounds, it is not deemed expedient, at present, to discharge all such sergeants and replace them by others; but as there may be some who, from their great age, long service, and infirmities, are no longer competent to the performance of any duties whatever, it would be very desirable that those sergeants should be discharged, and recommended to the Commissioners of Chelsea Hos pital for the grant of a pension; but before any definitive measures are adopted upon that point, I should be glad to receive a statement upon the inclosed form, showing the names and services in all ranks of the sergeants whom you may desire to select for discharge upon this occasion, preparatory to the adoption of ulterior mea sures respecting them. " I have the honour to be, " Your most obedient, humble servant, " SIDNEY HERBERT. Regiment of Militia."

These Pills act in so wonderful a manner upon the system and constitution of females generally (even on infants at the breast), that whether taken when entering into womanhood, or at the turn of life, or any other time, a few doses of this fins medicine will always produce the desidered effect and restore health when every other remedy has failed.

THE DEMAND FOR PAROCHIAL RATES UNDER THE DISTUICT ASYLUMS ACT. —At the Marylebone Vestry, last Saturday an order was read from the Cen tral Board of Management 'for the District Asylums for 173/.75. 11d., being the proportion of the Marylebone parish towards the sup port of the Western District Asylum, and which was calcu lated after the rate of the twentieth part of one penny in the pound upon 832.3121, the parish rental. The money is to he paid on the olith inst. to the Hon. Philip Pleydell Bon vetio. The parochial authorities are resolved - to let their coeds be seized sooner than pay it. At the same vestry, Mr Pea:2o:34 solicitor to the board, stated that Lord Port man had served upon him a notice of action, in consequence of their surveyor having attempted to remove the gates erected by his Lordship in Harewood-square. Mr. Peacock said that he would have to pay- the Solicitor- General 100 guineas as a retaining fee iu the action. 'l ha vestry desired their attorney to defend the action, and, instead of the Soli citor-General, selected Sergeant Talfourd and 11 - .1.... r. Peacoci, jun., to be their counsel.
