As on Monday night, Mr. Macready exhi bited no depreciation either of intellectual sugges tiveness or physical power, and he was applauded to the utmost by an audience of the highest respecta bility. The Laertes of Mr. Davenport, the Gertrude of Mrs. Warner, and the Ophelia of Miss P. Horton were embodiments of great merit, and the tragedy, taken as a whole, was very satisfactorily represented. The calls before the curtain extended to Mr. Macready and Mrs. Warner, and the enthusiasm was not less loud than hearty. BRIGHTON THEATRE. Miss Jane Bennett and Miss A. Kemble made their debld on Tuesday last, in the play of The Hunchback. We were delighted with the Julia of the former young lady. It was a complete and refined conception of the character. From her quiet, unas suming manner in the opening scene, we were little prepared for the powers she afterwards displayed. In the interview with the Secretary, the struggle be tween pride and love was delicately, but most power fully portrayed. It was worthy of any actress now on the stage. Indeed, throughout the play, she was as perfect a representative of the character as any we have seen. Miss Bennett has a very pleasing and expressive face, a voice of much sweetness, and a most lady-like and graceful manner. Mr. Belcour is fortunate in securing so valuable an addition to his company, and we shall look forward with pleasure to the opportunity of seeing this talented young actress in the whole round of her characters. She is the daughter of Mr. G. Bennett, a gentleman distin guished as a most finished actor, also as an author of great power and originality ; in his latter capacity he has proved himself second to none of the present day by his admirable play of Retribution, which was pro duced last season at Sadler's Wells Theatre, since which time it has been played in all the principal theatres in England and America, with the most perfect success. We may here mention that it is stated in the New - York papers that Mr. James Wal lack, jun. (who has returned to this country to fulfil an engagement at the Haymarket Theatre), created quite a furore in Blackbourn, a part played with most powerful effect by Mr. Phelps when Retribution was produced under his own manage ment. Miss A. Kemble was an efficient and animated Helen. In the scene with Modus, where she rails against " Ovid's art of love," she was loudly and deservedly applaude 1; she displayed great spirit, but never descended to coarseness. The other characters 1 were well sustained, and the play went off most triumphantly. NEW MUSIC. SONGS OF A STUDENT By Edward Francis Fitzwilliam The Poetry selected from the works of Byron, Shelley, Coleridge, Leigh Hunt, Bulwer Lytton, 6-c 6-c. The list of subscribers to this elegant volume, amounting to nearly a hundred in number, and in cluding among them some dozen or more of the most distinguished titles in our British aristocracy, bestows on the whole a larger amount of commendation on the m-rits of the work than the unknown critic could dream of effecting, even though applying to it all the eulogistic expret , sions a just admiration would suggest. Admitting this, we feel our province in the present case to he that of simpl e mention, rather than of cri ticism. The name of Fitzwilliam, moreover, is al ready too popular with the dramatic and musical world to require a noisy introduction. Suffice it to be said that Mr. Fitz williain is the son of the fasci nating actress who has for so many years attracted a London audience, and brother to Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, the accomplished pupil of one of our choicest English composers. The book opens with " The Ocean Pearl," the poetry translated from the Persian of Hafiz. The story of the pearl is a grace ful conceit : a rain drop falls from a cloud into the sea, and, overcome with shame at her comparative insignificance, exclaims " Sure it were better that I die in this immensity !" A "shell," however, receives and welcomes it, and nourished ther e th e " drop " becomes " a pearl for royal eyes." Fanciful as the idea is, Mr. Fitzwilliam has proved no less happily Fanciful in his arrangement. There is no set melody to the song, but an appro priate alternation of th e sotto" and "fuoco." scherzo, "If while my Passion I i mpart, " Coleridge ' s ce l e b rate d words (so full of love' s ent h us i asm), i n the h an d s o f t h e " composer, are made more than ever famous. The melody is conceived in all advisable fervour and gusto, and hence we hare a love ditty worthy of the days of Rizzio. The song is short, but, like a bon bon, is the sweeter for being condensed. "The Virgin's Cradle Hymn " forms an agreeable contrast to the preceding airs. The Latin. words, " Dormi Jesu I Mater ride!," &0., are purely devot i ona l , an d , to our thinking, infinitely b etter adapte d f or mus i c than the translation, even though that translation ba the work of Coleridge. There is a poverty of tone in the latter that has fairly surprised us. Mr. Fitzwil liam has, in this little rnorceau (for it consists of only one verse), presented us with a no unworthy compa nion to that lovely chaunt, the "Sicilian Mariner's Hymn." " Oh,:Love me Less, or Love me More :" there is, perhaps, a more decided air in this song than in any the book contains. The soave accompaniment to a pe tition so expressive of tenderness and passion is effectively selected. It has more simplicity of design in it than most of the others, and for thi s , as well as for the reason g i ven a b ove , it is likely to become more generally popular. " Come over the Wave with Me" is all grace and delicacy. The embellish ments are original, and wonderfully characteristic. They seem to sparkle with the " spray," and the "treasures of ocean," which form the burden of the song. " True Love," words by J. B. Buckstone, Esq., is a charming ballad ; each verse concluding with the lines with which the song opens : " The wide world, the wide world, Is all I have before me— But though my sky is overcast, Hope's light is shining o'er me." There are many others also of equal merit, but too numerous for notice. The concluding song, " Cham pagne," composed and arranged with unq ues ti ona bl e zest, is the be au id ea l o f the strain that should echo over the luxuries of the banquet, and from the lips of the bon vivant. The People's Anthens—"God Save the People 1' The Poetry by Ebenezer Elliott, the Music by Wm. Thorold Wood. it is long since we beard a more striking, effective, or inspiring anthem than the above. The noble words with which it opens— " When wilt thou save the people ? Oh, God of mercy, when? Not kings and lords, but nations, Not thrones and crowns, but men! Are given in chorus con gravita, and are solemnly religious in expression. The key throughout is that of B major, the time "simple common. ' " When wilt thou save the people" should become, as it is called, a national anthem. Gather ye Rose Buds while ye Itfay. The Poetry by .Herrick, the ifusic by W. Thorold Wood. The air of this delightful madrigal is as felicitously melodious as the title. It is one to hear and love the better at each repetition. The Sisters. Two Waltzes. By W. Thornld Wood. We give the preference to the first of these waltzes (the " Caroline") ; perhaps because it is less compli cated than its companion, or because the " Camilla" is, so to speak, less faithful to the motivo. They are, however, both genuinely original, and contrast well together. We may say of the one we like it for its quaint steadfastness of character, and of the other we cannot help liking it int , pite of its capriciousness. The Drawing-Room Quadrilles, as Duets for Two Performers. by William Thorold Wood; and the Free-Trade Quadrille, by the same Composer. We cordially recommend these novelties to the musical public. The time is well marked, the airs are well sustained, lively, and adapted to the dance ; while they are, at the same time, neither too difficult for the young, nor too simple for the proficient. The one will find no graver obstacle than an occasional double flit or sharp, while to the other they present scope for the display of touch, execution, and finish. Of the "Free-Trade Polka," we have only to announce that this polka is dedicated to Richard Cobden, Esq., M.P., to secure for it a certain sphere of popularity. Yalse, "La Nuit." .ByCharles Taylor, of her Ma- jesty's Theatre. We know of few among the modern waltzes, since the best efforts of Johann Strauss, that would bear comparison with thi s b r illi ant composition. It is de cided in its character, arranged chiefly in octaves, and is, to our thinking, irresistibly inspiring. And this is saying not a little, considering we utter it not in the days of the stately Pavane, when novelty was at a premium, but in the good old year 1850, when, from the aristocratic atmosphere of " Almack's," to the democratic air of "Cremorne," sweet airs are float ing past, new and sufficiently var i e d to e li c i t t h e praise of individual listeners, be their taste what it may. Descriptive Series. Nos. 1., 11., and lll.—The Voices of the Bells. Composed by J. F. Dug gan. The Mountain Rill. Written by R. Kemp Philp. Composed by J. H. Duggan ; Nightingale. Word s b y J.

The three above named are happily successful. " The Nightingale," in particular, is most skilfully descrip tive. It is like the realisation of a dream —a fancy, made palpable. Dark, Deep, and Cold. Poetry by E benezer Elliott. The Music by W. Th oro ld Wood. A Tribute to the Memory of the People's Poet. This is a grave conceit, b o th i n the metrical and musical composition.

"I never said it was possible. I only said it was true." • M. G. LEWIS. "Levrai n'est past toujours vraisemblable."— FONTENILLE. Lord Stanhope having, in the first instance, sealed up two papers at my lodgings, during my absence from the room, delivered them to me on my return to it, inform ing me that one contained something written by a friend of his, the other something written by himself. I gave them that evening, while in my box at the opera, to two ladies of my party, who had often been placed by me in a state of waking clairvoyance, and bad read in nut-shells and boxes, but never in sealed packets. One of them, after I had made passes over the paper, said that the words (which she wrote in pencil), "Be lieve not every spirit, but try* whether it be good," were written on it; and that alter the last word of the sen tence, there was one which she could not make out — that it did not appear to belong to the sentence—that it began with a capital letter like a 1). The other lady informed me that she could make out the following words only, but that there were others which she could not. "If you t this t much good." She thought that the word betw. en "you" and "this" was "read," but not feeling sure she would not write it. On the 4th, the Earl brought with him into my car riage two packets of motto nuts sealed up, informing me that he had purchased them in different shops, one in Bruton -street, the other in the Strand, and that they had not been touched by any person but himself since they ware purchased. He took from one of the packets a nut, which, at my request, he marked with a file, and gave it to a lady, who stated the words of the motto. His Lordship opened it and found the words were as stated. The same was done with three more nuts and with the like success. No passes Isere made over my face or over the nuts. We called on two more ladies, and found them in company with their mother and two military officers. The lady who bad read in the carriage read three more while iu the house, without passes being made. One of the other ladies, three; the other, two. They required passes to be made over my face, as well as over the nuts, and all the nuts were previously marked, and afterwards opened, by Lord Stanhope. One of them was read while in his band. One lady told us, before the nut was opened, that it contained one perfect motto, excepting tnat part of the word " think" was wanting, and on the same paper one line and three words of a second line belonging to a second motto. All this proved correct The following were read in the carriage:— " The sight of my fair, makes joyful my heart, 'Tis only when absent that II feel any smart." "Aim to acquire talents, for they will last When thy present charms shall all be past." " Bless the hour, name the day, Haste to church without delay." " Your faults are odious in my sight, And ne'er can give my heart delight." The following in the house, taken from the second sealed packet by Earl Stanhope:— " Is there on earth a joy so great, Blest with a fond and faithful mate?" " A person with a wooden leg, Will come your favour soon to beg." " In search of joy some cross the sea, I'm only happy when near thee." " Of all the pains the greatest pain Is to love and love in vain." " Think not too much of form or grace, The mind's more noble than the face." " Let the hours be swiftly fleeting, Till they bring ." " Love, they say, on sweets reposes, And took your lips for his bed of roses." " Life is a bark o'er which dark fates oft hover, As a pilot sure let us take our lover." " Where there is no sincerity, There cannot be infidelity." _ Old Bond-street, Aug. 6, 1850. W. BUCKLEY. The above statement is perfectly correct. I must observe, that neither my friend nor myself was at the Opera when the above-mentioned papers were read. - STANHOPE. • The words " the spirit" were inserted here in the original paper, of which the last words were a christian and surname; the first letter of the name was P, but so written as to re semble D.— Stanhope. f The word "read" was here inserted in the original paper.

Archdeacon Hale has addressed the following letter o the clergy of the Archdeaconry of London : " Reverend Brethren,—The illness which during ,he preceding week rendered me wholly unable to make a reply to a requisition which was forwarded to me to call a meeting of the clergy of the Archdea conry of London, necessarily prevents my attendance at the meeting of the Fellows of Sion College, which has been convened for Thursday next. lam thankful to be now sufficiently recovered to take this means of expressing my cordial approval of the general object of the proposed meeting, as well as my regret that I am precluded from taking part in its proceedings. These are indeed times in which every one who values the Protestant faith is bound to stand up in its de fence, and no longer to conceal his alarm at the dangers which environ our Church and country from the establishment of the Papal jurisdiction in this king dom, and the announcement by a Papal bull that England is become an Archiepiscopal province of the see of Rothe. Great as were the usurpations of the Popes of Rome upon the rights and liberties of England in the times prior to the Reformation, it may be doubted whether any act of the Popes ever surpassed in violence that of which the present Pope has been guilty in annihi lating two most ancient provinces of the Western Church, those of Canterbury and York, forming them , into a single province under Dr. Nicholas Wiseman, and substituting the Jus Commune of Papal Rome for the constitutions and canons of the Anglican Church, however rncient their date. It can hardly be sup posed that our statesmen will tamely submit to this invasion of our Church and country by a foreign Prince and Prelate, or that they will violate that so lemn pledge, by which every one who takes the Oath of Supremacy is bound to resist such an attack upon the Queen's authority, as the supreme governor over all persons and in all causes ecclesiastical as well as temporal within her dominions. Much less can we imagine that any will have the hardihood to renew the doctrine of a dispensing power, or to assert that the Sovereign can dispense wi▪ th her ow e supreme authority—can allow a foreign Prelate to exercise jurisdiction in England according to the common law of Rome, and permit the i▪ nternal state and condition of every county in her M a j esty ' s dominions to be continually subject to the cog nizance of the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide at Rome. If, however, these evils are to be averted, it must be, under God's blessing, by a combination scarcely l ess powerful and united th a n that which in 1688 prevented James 11. from carrying into effect his wishes for the conversion of England to Popery. It is not by mere protests or remonstrances that the Pap a l p ower can b e expelled ; but by the authority of the l aw , b y t h e exert i on of in , honest zeal defence of the Protestant religion, such as actuated the statesmen of former times, and by faithful adh erence t o t h ose principles of the Eng lish Constitution for the defence of which the House of Brunswick now sits upon the throne of thi s r ea l m . Th at our Bishops, and specially our Reverend Diocesan will, both in and out of Parliament, do their duty in endeavouring to deliver our Protestant country from papal aggression we can not doubt. Our Church is assailed by her ancient and implacable enemy from without, she has been basely deserted by many of her sons, but our Bishops well know that the Protestant faith is dear as ever to the people of England, and that the voice of the coun try will be with them in every resistance which they shall offer to the establishment of the Pope's jurisdic tion in England, and to the recognition, either secret or avowed, of any of the emissaries of the Church and Court of Rome who may be sent to this country by virtue of the recent bull for the establishment of a Papal hierarchy 'in this flourishing kingdom of England.' " I remain, Rev. Brethren, your faithful servant, "W. H. HALE, Archdeacon of London. ,rterhouse, Oct. 29, 18.50."

WATERFORD, WEXFORD, WICK LOW, AND DUBLIN RAILWAY. An adjourned general meeting of the associated shareholders of this railway company was held yes terday, at two o'clock, at the King's Head Tavern, Poultry. Mr. Ponmecum occupied the chair, and amongst the gentlemen present we observed Colonel Sir William Verner, M.P., Mr. William Parry Richards, Mr. J. Dorrington, Mr. A. Hadley, Mr. Charles Joyce, Mr. David Powell, Mr. J. A. Gallini, Mr. Septimus West, Mr. Nash, Mr. Willan, Mr. F. A. Lewis, solicitor, Mr. Humfrays, and several others. Colonel Sir WILLIAM VERNER, M.P., rose to address the meeting. He said he felt it to be unnecessary to occupy their time for more than a few minutes, be cause he concluded they were all acquainted with what had recently taken place in Dublin with respect to this company, and the result of the meeting which was held there in August last. In compliance with the wishes expressed by several gentlemen connected with this company as shareholders, and having taken also a very prominent part in his place in Parliament with regard to the circumstances connected with the company and the transactions of its directors, he felt himself called upon to attend that meeting in Dublin. He went there, and, to his astonishment, he found the meeting was appointed to be held in Dublin, contrary to the rule with respect to all the meetings of the company that had been previously held, except ing the very first. He and his friends conld not understand, in the first instance, why the meeting was to take place in Dublin in pre ference to the company's office in the Strand, where its meetings were usually held.—(Hear, hear.) They very soon discovered the object, however, of holding the meeting in Dublin, which wa s , if he might ex press himself as analrishman, to hold no meeting at all.—(Laughter.) They then discovered that those gentlemen, the directors, who were there as both judges and jury, and were the people who were to decide everything, had prepared themselves previously to declare that the meeting was not competent to act, inasmuch as there was not a sufficient number of shareholders present and eligible to constitute a meet ing. —(Hear, hear.) The meeting, which was ap pointed at one o'clock, took place at half.past one, and when two o'clock arrived the chairman intimated that the meeting was put an end to, on the ground of there not being a sufficient number of shareholders present. Under these circumstances he (Sir Wm. Verner) determined, if possible, that the directors should hear him, and those who acted with him ; and when the Chairman (Lord Courtown) announced that the meeting was dissolved, he (Sir Wm. Verner) re quested that he would not leave the chair until be heard what they had to say—(Hear)—and that be (Sir Wm. Verner) in particular, having taken the part he did in reference to this company in his place in Parliament, wished to make some explanations to the gentlemen who were then present. The chairman said he could not hear him (Sir Wm. Verner) and he would not hear him, and that he must leave the chair.—(Hear, hear.) He (Sir W. Verner) replied that if that was his Lordship's determination they had no other alternative but to move some other person into the chair; and he (Sir W. Verner) immediately moved that a gentleman present should take the chair, on which Lord Courtown, the chairman, and some other directors with him, immediately left the room. Their solicitor, Mr. Kane, then took the head of the table, and addressing him (Sir W. Verner) and his friends, said they could not, nor should they, hold any meeting in that room ; he further said that room was his (Mr. Kane's), and he had paid for it, and they had no right to hold any meeting in it. He (Sir W. Verner) then asked Mr. Kane it' he would state to the gentlemen then and there present by whom the charge for the room was to be borne, and whether it was not to be entered in the accounts of the company. Mr. Kane replied he could answer no questions in the absence of the- directors.—( Hear, and laughter.) Mr. Kane continued to say they must leave the room, that they should not hold their meeting there, nor should they remain there; that he was very sorry to be discourteous, but they could not remain in that room. In this state of things he (Sir William Verner) apprehended that the police would have had to be called in. —(A. laugh.) Eventually, however, he (Sir W. Verner) and his friends put a gentleman into the chair, and they then expressed their opinions as to the trick which had been played by the direc tors to prevent the shareholders holding any meeting. There was a very able statement made by the gentle man who occupied the chair of the affairs of the com pany and its history from its commencement, which he (Sir W. Verner) regretted did not appear in the newspapers. Mr. Nash also addressed the meeting, and his speech was tolerably fairly reported. Ulti• mately it was thought the best thing they could do was to adjourn the meeting to London. With what had since token place the present meeting was tolerably well acquainted, and he should not, there fore, detain them by relating it. He was not well acquainted with the hour or the place of the subse • quent meeting, and he was not, therefore, able to at tend it, but he bad endeavoured to make up for the omission by appearing at this present meeting. Mr. NASII then read the further report of the asso ciated shareholders and committee. After referring to the meeting held in Dublin in August last, and the circumstances attending it as given in the rpeech of Sir W. Verner, the report proceeded as follows We now proceed to cornuaunicate what has been accomplished since our last meeting. "We have secured (as we believe) a dissolution of the company, and abandonment of the scheme, after we had taken legal proceedings, &c. After the signal failure of the last desperate effort in the House of Lords' to defeat, or discredit, this opposition, (then pressing closely upon the directors personally,) over tures were made by the directors to us to suspend pro ceedings in England and Ireland on both sides,' to which we assented, having only one otdect at heart ; subse quently, on Ist June, we obtained a written pledge to dissolve the company.' " The ' actions for calls'—which were thieatened in 1848, and again in 1849 and 1850—have been stayed. Agreements to try only three actions against the as sociated shareholders have been made, and farther stayed by injunctions up to November term. "The' further calls' threatened have also been stayed, and ultimately the intention abandoned. An injunction has also been obtained restraining further calls for the present. " The works (which were estimated to take seventy years to finish at the rate at which they were progress ing) were stayed by injunction, and ultimately stopped altogether. "'The directors have not ventured to proceed with their Bill' in Parliament—fur which every opposition was prepared by us. " The Bill as framed would have cast upon the solvent holders a positive liability to raise among themselves half a million at least.' "We also watched other measures' affecting you. Although the endeavours to obtain a Committee of In vestigation in the Commons were for the time de feated, owing to the lateness of the session, and the mis statements male, to which a direct contradiction was publicly given by Mr. Nash, yet various returns' were ordered, and documents printed by Parliament, and can be bought for a trifling sum, illustrative of the manage ment of this company, preparatory to renewed ef forts in the next session, to which your assistance is solicited. An inspection of the works' confirms our previous statements of the delusive and reckless character of the scheme—not three.miles of line (on the sea side of Kil !lacy and Brayhead rocks—round and through desolate rocks and precipices—overhangiug the sea on one side, with mountains on the other) have been above half cut and finished. The boasted gift of land' (part of said rock) has cost us about four and a half miles of solid wall five feet high—a rcadway fifteen feet wide, with another solid protecting wall, averaging five feet depth for three miles—all round the rock—overhanging the sea—above the proposed line of railway. " The present state of Ireland—the past reckless ma nagement—the worthless nature of the scheme itsch, have rendered the earliest abandonment of the scheme the best course—the directors have at length yielded to this great object of our labours. W e find that, notwithstrnding their continuous and recent boast of the profitable nature of their sc h em e,' directors, solicitors, secretary (who held five shares), architect, and other officials, and their friends, have since transferred their shares to poor persons, and gone off the register of a company which they boasted so late as the last meeting would pay six per cent. " We have satisfaction in communicating this success of labours commenced and pursued—for nearly three years—under heavy blows, great discouragements,' and circumstances unequalled—with bitter per sonal opposition from directors—defections and supine ness of shareholders—great expenses, and contests un parallelled in railway history, and of which the shareholders have as yet hut little idea. " Better and more speedy results might have at. tended this perseverance, with an ordinary consti tuency; but by an early and economical • winding up' (after settling some preliminaries), the loss to the share holders will be trifling compared with what it would have been if the delusions disseminated by every halt yearly report had continued to mislead the share holders, and to make them the laughing-stock' of Ireland. In effect one gruel object for the shareholders has been accomplith A, tamely, a stoppage t f expenditure, an abandornenr, of the project. end if we were to close here our labours would not have been unproductive; but it is necessary to breve the cordial co-operation of the shareholders with this association to ensure a prepi-r ter mination, with that spirit of fair play and tib,ence of personal feellug which we have ever desired. " It is clear that but for the efforts made during the last three years shareholders would have confided in the illusory reports of their directors, calls would have been made and paid, or enforced, and the whole 20/. per share would by this time have been called up and become not worth 20s. when the real position of affairs was ascer tained. passing that " i t e could oalso h ew ach n iw watched, It and b i it guwadovouen A bandonment much assistance to Bill, In the irhes7, applied to this company. That Bill was opposed y th e Great Western direct ion and a director of this c o mpany. They also opposed suggestions and provisions whioh would have faci li tated its operation. _ _ " Proceedings were taken in the spring of 1850 against the directors to obtain a proper investigation of the affairs of this company and to fix them personally with certain liabilities. Overtures were made and under takings entered into to give a wind-up and dissolution of this company, as before observed. Afterwards, the so: licitors of the company, by letters of Juue and July last, prepared us for a ' requisition' from the shareholders to wind up and dissolve this company, upon which they avowed their readiness to act. " Bat it has been found that no facilities for the re quisition has been afforded by the directors. Access to the Register of the Shareholders' has been refused, the shareholders' address book has been imperfectly kept, the poor persons holding directors', solicitors', and secretary's shares have not been permitted to sign it, and other persons were dissuaded from doing so. " The directors, in a report,' refer to their inten tion to wind up, and to obtain a special Act for that purpose, finding that the Railway Abandoment Act dis appointed their expectations in that respect.' This means a wind up in their own way, and an audit of their own accounts by themselves, and may be charactosised as a delusion, and a means of prolonging their exist ence, the expense of th e com p any , an d the liability of the s hareholdere. " It has been ascertained that the Kingstown Company , will not interpose, as a bar to the wind up of this com pany, any contract with them, but that they will seik for compensation for the breach of some contract. The obstacle is thus shown to be an imaginary one, and this company can be amicably wound up at a cost t f lees than 501., under the Abandonment Act, instead of a special Act, which would cost 5,0001., and might not be granted. "In an inti , rview with the Solicitor -General he pro mised an amendment of the Abandonment Act next session, if it were found not to woik7 " The ' printed' accounts for the last half-year (audited by Mr. Codd, who has transferred his shares to a window-cleaner!—(Laughter)--and by Mr. Slade, the company's counsel) offered no real information on the state of affairs. " An inspection of the books of the company has been had, and the directors have been compelled to exhibit a balance sheet,' and a statement of debts, liabilities, and assets of the company,' under the statute. - - " It appears thereby that the directors had only ' cash in hand (in June) of 2,1441.,' but according to the answers of the directors in Chancery it was only 600/. in September. That the debts due by the company,' as admitted by the directors, are— For land purchases, assumed at For works expenses, engineering expenses, law costs, office expenses, &c., assumed at ll,OOO Interest due to shareholders Calls paid in advance 27,500 579 210 £28,289 But it is believed that these items do not include com pensation to the Kingstown Company, to contractors, to landowners, &c., for loss of the line, inasmuch as in their answers in Chancery the directors state that there will be other claims, amounting to, it is supposed, 75,000/. 1 " To meet this debt of 28,2891. the directors state the credits and property' to be— ' Land, cost' (including, we assume, the lands for which 16,5001. is to be paid, and 10,5001. has been already paid.. £27,021 Works, in course of construction, cost' (in cluding Kelliney, tunnel contract,' on Kingstown side of Bray, 19,1661., and Bray Head, the other or Wicklow aide of Bray, 29,8801.)

" The share capital received is only to the 30th of ' June, 148,3801. " Assuming the directors' own accounts and figures, ' it thus appears that the existing debts (if legally charge able against the shareholders) are 28,2891., whilst there is 79,6981. assets, besides the 84,8891. arrears of calls. However no shareholder can or will object to contribute an equitable proportion to the fair liabilities of the com pany upon a wind-up and dissolution, which would legally exonerate him from further liability. " These accounts further show that the secretary's salary, reduced in defer e n ce t o th e oppos i t i on, to 600 1. a year, the directors' allowance of 1,0001. a year, the rent of attics in the Strand at 500/. a year—(A laugh) —are still chargeable upon the shareholders. " In their answers in Chancery, Lord Courtown and Sir Thomas Esmonde have ventured to say, that they would not attend the celebrated February, 1849, meeting for fear of violence from th• shareholders; that they never heard of any resolutions of censure' by the shareholders; that they haveno information, knowledge. or belief as to the buying up of shares, and hiring of shareholders, by ' Carden and Whitehead,' or by Kane or Symes, the company's solicitors—nor of their letters or indemnities to shareholders: whereas such letters have been read to them publicly, and the resolu tions of censure also sent to them. " In conclusion; if our endeavours were to stop here, we might fairly congratulate the shareholders on the re sult of three years' arduous struggles against strong and powerful interests unfairly pressed against this opposi tion, which was seeking to eff. et a legitimate, and now conceded object, and having only one desire, namely, the protection of the shareholders against delusions and iniquities of an era; aordie.ary nature. It remains now to c.,rry out those results by an economical course of winding up the company, (By older) "CHAS DE LACY NAM. ‘. 52, Parliament -street. " Acting Hon. Secretary." In reply to a question put by Sir WILLIAM Ireasixn, Mr. Nasu said there wasan injunction stopping all proceedings for the present, which would come on for discussion next week. He then moved that the report as read he adopted. Mr. J. A. GALLINI seconded the motion. Mr. RICHARDS suggested the omission from the re. , port of certain passages and terms which the directors might construe as offensive to themselves, and which it was desirous to avoid, inasmuch as the meeting hoped before long to be in friendly communication with the directors. He alluded to the paragraphs in the reports referring to the opposition of the Great Western direction and of Mr. llayter, late a director of this company, and to indictments which counsel had advised against the directors for maladministra tion and for statements in their answers in Chancery. The rest of the meeting seemed unanimously to coincide with the suggestion of Mr. Richards ; the objectionable passages were then struck out, and the report so amended was agreed to unanimously. Mr. WILLAN asked what was the form of the present bill in Chancery ? Mr. NAsn replied that it was a bill for an account. On the motion of Mr. NAM, seconded by Mr. FRED. AUGUSTUS LEWIS, Solicitor, it was then Una nimously resolved—" That this meeting disapproves and rejects the directors' report and accounts sub mitted to the meeting on the 31st August, 1850, and authorise the acting shareholders to investigate, and take such proceedings to investigate the same, and to continue the existing proceedings, as they think fit." Mr. RICHARDS moved that the services of Mr. Muggeridge, as secretary, were no longer necessary, and that his services and salary be forthwith discon tinued. Mr. HADLEY seconded the motion, which was carried nernine contradiccnte. On the motion of Mr. Nash, seconded by Mr. Powell, it was also unanimously resolved, that the as sociated shareholders be authorised to communicate with the Railway Commissioners and the Attorney- General, as to the Railway Abandonment Act and the position of the company. Sir William Verner moved and Mr. Richards seconded a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which that gentleman briefly acknowledged. Mr. RICHARDS, in moving the thanks of the meet ing to Sir William Verner, paid a well-merited com pliment to the Hon. Baronet, for the great exertions he had made, both in and out of Parliament, to sea justice done to the shareholders of this company. The CHAIRMAN seconded the motion, and adverted to the great inconvenience to which Sir William Verner had put himself in order to attend the meeting in Dublin. Mr. NASH also bore his testimony to the exertions of the Hon. Baronet. The motion was carried unanimously. Sir WILLIAM VERNER said he was happy to find that his humble exertions had met with their ap probation. He very seldom took any part in meet ings of that kind; he had frequently attended them, but he abstained from taking any part in them. Having, however, attended on two or three occasions the meetings of this company, and having found the conduct of the directors, in his epinion, highly objec tionable, as well as the pr o p os iti ons made on the part of the shareholders who were connected with the directors, he really felt that he could not bold back any longer from taking part in the proceedings, and he was very happy to find that the humble part he had taken had been approved of by the shareholders. On the motion of Mr. Nash, seconded by Mr. Willa'', the meeting was then adjourned to one o'clock on Wednesday, the 11th December next, to be holden in the same place. PUBLIC BATHS AND WASIMOUSES.—The Wor shipful Company of Merchant Tailors, at a court held on the 24th instant, ordered that fifty guineas should be granted in aid of the funds of the committee for promoting the estab lishment of baths and waslihouses for the labouring chases. The extensive benefits which have been conferred upon the public since the appointment of the committee in October, 1844, have as yet only begun to be understood , and are likely before long to be incalculably developed. The com mittee have established the fact that warm and cold baths, and the means of washing and drying linen, can - be profit ably provided for the working classes, at prices so low, and with convenience so great, as to place these necessary means of health within the reach of all but absolute paupers ; and they are still actively engaged in promulgating throughout the kingdom and in other parts t 0 0 0 e f rvt hi the cee he g ax l v o p l e : e nbde t ei h tnu e vrea r e nb s dy u l t a it hi o l e f l their experience, with information showing the benefit s which may be afforded by these institutions.

OPENING OF THE ITALIAN OPERA IN PARIS. - - The Theatre Italien will open on Saturday, the 9th November, with Bellini's opera of La Sonnambula, in which M. Calzolari will perform the character of Elvino and Madame Sontag that of Amine. With regard to another of the artistes of this theatre, a cause was brought before the Tribunal de Commerce on Saturday last, under rather singular circumstances. M. Freyberg, dire ctor of the Italian Theatre of the Kceidgstadt at Berlin, had come to Paris to contend with Mr. Lumley for a young and charming canta trice, who, under the name of Mme. Fiorentini, had appeared with much éclat at the close of the last season at her Majesty's Theatre in London. M. Freyberg estimated the loss he should sustain by being deprived of this young artiste's services at no less than 80,000 f., which he claimed as damages from Mr. Lumley. The tribunal decided that there was nothing in the facts of the case to support the de mand of M. Freyberg, and the claims of the Berlin director were non-suited, by which decision this young and brilliant singer remains attached to the Theatre Italien of Paris. THE DAVIS' STRAITS WHALE FISITERY.—The True Love and the Anne, of Hull, arrived at that port on Saturday last from Davis Straits. They bring no news later than that of the Ist of October, the particulars of which have already been published. The True Love has but three, and the Anne but two fish. The fishery has been very unsuc ces,ful, the ice having been toe closely packed to allow the ships to penetrate into the parts most abounding with whales. It is estimated that the whole produce of the fish ing will not amount to one-half that of last season, although the ships engaged are only eight less in number than those employed in 1849. The other vessels belonging to Hull left the ice in company with the two just arrived; they are, therefore, on their way borne. The True Love brings official dispatches from Captain Austin, Sir John Ross, and Commander Forsyth, which have been duly for warded to the Lords of the Admiralty, but which contain no information in respect to the missing voyagers. A LADY ORATOR.—The meeting of the Canford Estate Agricultural Show was marked by the striking inci dent of a speech by the lady of the principal guest—in this instance the Baronct of that ilk, Sir John Guest. The Can- ford estate is Sir John's property, and the " yearly agricul tural show" is described as " more correctly the yearly en couragement given to his tenantry" by the liberal landlord, who subscribes nearly all the prizes offered for competition. The meeting was held on the `2d, and Mr. Divett, M.l'., did the chief honours of speech-making; but after the prizes were awarded, Lady Guest rose from beside her husband, and said—" I am taking an unusual course, but I wish very much to propose to you a toast which lies near to my heart The prosperity of the labouring classes.' From a child I have had much experience of them. I p asse d some ti me w ith and lived among the mining classes ; and certainly a finer body of men does not exist anywhere than the mining classes. In my new home lam less acquainted, per haps, with poorer people; but I hope to be become more ac quainted with them day by day. My feelings are strongly in their favour, and I am sure they will be borne out by ex perience. There is no finer set of people anywhere than the labouring classes of this country. Look at France—lock at Germany. You go into a cottage in England, and you see every attempt made to be as moral and decent as possible. Excuse me for making these remarks. To raise the condi tion and to expand the mind of the peasantry should be our aim ; for without those advances it is impossible that even the most experienced agriculturist can go on. Forgive me for trespassing thus unduly upon your time, and permit me to propose "rhe labouring classes'." At so unusual but so ad mirable an incident, the audience was extremely delighted, and the kind-hearted lady resumed her seat amidst deafening cheers.— Chester Courant. EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROMAN CATllomcs. For the last few evenings the ne i g hb ourhoods of High-street and Union-street in the Borough have been kept in continual excitement owing to the ext raor di nary conduct of some Roman Catholic priests and their assistants, which has naturally caused the gathering together o f a ll t h e refuse of the low courts and alleys with which this neigh bourhocd abounds. On each evening during the week the windows of the respective occupants of the different rooms have been illuminated with candles, and a priest standing on a chair, dressed in canonicals, and having a crucifix held behind him, so as to give the interior of the court as near as possible the appearance of a Roman Catholic chapel du r i ng mass, has held forth to the surrounding multitudes on the doctrines and progress now said to be making in Engl an d o f the Roman Catholic religion. The discourse has principally referred to the late assumption of spiritual power in this country by the heads of the Roman Catholic Church, deduc tions being drawn therefrom that the estabiished religion of this realm will be shortly overthrown, and the Roman Catholic religion assume its place. The crowds gathered not only in the court, but in the streets at either end. have caused serious obstructions to the neighbourhood, and it is some what astonishing that the police have not interfered to put an cud to these exhibitions. Pnol'OFD PRIZE ESSAY.—A clergymen of the Church of England, with the appr, bation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, proposes to give a prize or prizes of Hai guineas in amount no* the Lest es ay or essays on the following subject;.—ln what manner the unicn of all na tions at the Grand Exhibition in 1851 may he made the most conducive to the glory of God in promoting the moral wellate of mankind.
