RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. JULY 3, 1851. S , N 7 N°.18,339.] LONDON, THURSDAY E N G [PRICE SD. AYBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON. A special meeting of this company was held yester day at Nottingham, its purpose being to confirm the forfeiture of 1,835 shares, and to order the directors to sell them and other forfeited shares, or otherwise dispose of them, (IATITOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ' ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LETCESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Read Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claim. have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other tor 2301.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1449, and the 31st of 'lay, 1850, was more than double the number Issued in the twelve months preceding. Prop.sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,901.25. 6d.: of these 121, comprising 1116 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement et the Cownpanv to the Ist of June last, .i.ssuraw es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. P2s 6d., pro twins in annual premiums 3,7321. Ifs. 6d. if these 54 lapsed, amoiniting to 23,9901. 165. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to 2,991/. IS.. I Id. sine() last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I Is. 10.4. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and financial :and in all assurance matters, who, tinier the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Arelibish , p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parsis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con ilderaWe amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice chairman, Actuary+, SecretarY, and Medical Officers of the establish tnent, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and tits re pros' Pets. in a very eloquent appeal, which our limits do not allow us to give. • Mr. Bourr, in a lengthened speech, detailed the origin and progress of ,the copytight law as already set forth in a pamphlet published by him, and concluded by moving the following resolution:—" That this meeting views with apprehension the recent decision of the Court of Error reversing the previous decision of the Court of Exch quvr, and thereby declaring that foreign authors resident abroad are entitled to British copyright, although subjects of a state which declines to avail itself of the International Copyright Act. That such decision. if finally established, must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of Briti-h literature in all its departments, whiff it removes a material inducement to the accept ance by foreign states of the International Copyright Act." he Rev. 1)r. WORTHINGTON seconded the resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES having made a long speech, con cluded by moving an amendment to the effect that that meeting highly approved of the recent proposition by Lori Clinpbell, as one of the preparatory steps most conducive to the attainment of that which justice de mand.4l. the law of international copyright. Mr. WILLIS. of Craven-street, seconded the amendment. Mr. JAMEI Focoo urged the re- cessity of unanimity on this occasion, and hoped the amendment would be FOREIGN COPYRiGHT. On Tuesday a public meeting of British authors, pub lishers, printers, stationers, and others interested in the subject of copyright, was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state if the laws relating thereto, as recently in terpreted in the Court of Error. It is considered that this interpretation, which reverses several previous dr ci sions, goes to establish the claims of a non-resident fo reign author to copyright in this country, although the English author is strictly excluded from the benefit of copyright in foreign countries; and that the utile ci proeated privileges thus conferred on foreigners, if finally established. must prove extremely prejudicial to the interests of British literature in all its departments,. whilst it will remove every inducement to the acceptance ref our proposed Interresti tnal Cepyri e ht Act. The chair was taken by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Barr., and Mr. 11. G. Behr' acted as vice-cheirrnan, and among the company prieent were William llowitt, Jett, Britton, Urge Cruikshank, Mr. Maccaelaiie; Mr. R. H. Horne, Henry Culburn, the Rev. Dr. Wor tlicgtori. &c Tne CHAIRMAN, who was received with loud cheers, sale, that he had been requested to take the chair on this occasion, in order to all rd an epportielity to bring before the pablic a question which was interesting in itself, and extremely important, as affecting all those who were possessed of property in literary co pyright. He would endeavour then, as briefly as pos sibte, to place before them the object of the meeting. Perhaps there were those present who entertained I views welch were opposed to his own ; and he would sit down assuring them that the instant he took the chair ke would be strictly impartial, and would obtain for all parries a patient hearing. He would now proceed to the !awnless on which they were assembled. They were aware that by the Act the Bth of Queen Anne, and by other subsequent Acts ut Parliament confirmed; certain privileges were ceded to authors ; though the general principle was that prima facie a country could only be suppo. , ed to legislate for its own subjects. It had been long held that the Act of Queen Anne only reft.rred to native subjects of Great Brietin ; and true it was, that till lately foreign authors had no interest in the ques tion which they now agitated. Let them observe that their authors had at various times published in other states than their own. They first published in other states than their own, not so much for pecuniary con siderations as for considerations of safety in cases of theological works, in which the opinions of the author differed from those of the Government. This had been the case in Italy, and in one or two cases in France. So in the instance in Voltaire, many of whose works were published in Holland ; but so little, as a foreigner, could he obtain a copyright, that he complained of the mutilated perversions of his works. He came over to England a few years after the passing of the Act of Queen Anne. He resided in London, the place where he laid the foundation of his fortune. He received a large amount of suto,criptions to his " Henriade," which work was promoted by the Princess of Wales, eterwards known as the Queen Caroline. Voltaire lived on terms of the closest intimacy with the most celebrated statesmen of the age; he *as especially intimate with Bolinghreke and the Ministers under whose Government the Act of the Bth Queen Anne had been passed; and, therefore, it was clear that if it had been intended to give a copyright to foreigners, Voltaire would have been apprised of the fact, and he bad every motive for avail ing himself of the advantage. Voltaire received a large sum from the subscribers to the " Henriade"—a sum of 6,000/. So far, if the purchase of the work gave a copy right, he would have been entitled to it. He corrected second editions for London which could not be published in Paris; he corrected a third edition for London in 1733. So little did be possess a copyright, that he re pudiated the edition subsequently published by Mr. Thompson. Another strong case was that of a work written by Voltaire in English, and published in London during his residence there, and which was finally trans lated into French by D Fontaine. Voltaire disclaimed the effort. and complained of the mutilations which had been made in many cases. But so little copyright did be possess that these essays were reprinted in 1739, containing all, De Fontaine's blunders. An edition of his works was begun nt Oxford, containing the works which had been published in London, and the name of him who had rendered the name illustrious was sup pressed, for the title-page gave it as the work of the ingenious Arouet (his father, the notary); thus show - ing that Voltaire had no copyright. Until the case which had occurred two years ago the supposition that the Act of Queen Anne was for the benefit of English authors had never been disputed till the year 1822. But the case they advocated was that of " Beosey v. Purdat," which was decided by Eaton Rulto (now Lord Grate... Rh). in which he, in a comprehensive judgment, etermineet that that Act could only be taken as he had quoted—as having been parsed for the benefit of Beg iish learning, anti that foreigners were not entitled to clas lights But recently this judgment had been re versed, thereby showing the wicerteinty of the law. If h tate decision of Lord Campbell, whim he regarded as a statesman and a man of letters, as well as a mos. eminent foreneie authority, expounded ready the stak of the existing law, it might be expellent to try and el esr it. the Aces of ale aid IV. &c . showed that in those early timss the Lsgianture ent Oaragr d e he intro see.ion of f, .reign beoks. Every man ads at nitro ty to sr It. That doctrine was rel ealed by the Act of Que.!. .1 nne. In the late decision two ease had been referred to —else one th.st of Rapin, and the o her Deloline. Th. judge considered that they hod a copyright—the one in connexion with his work on the Constitution, and the ether in respect to his Hiatory of Englaud. But he would leave it to his friend Mr. B .hn to show that neither of these parties bad any copyright. This only showed how dlficult it was for a judge, most erudite, to view the question in its proper light. The case of free trade bore no analogy to such a case as this. But now the question, which was of real importance, that granting the Act of Queen Aline was intended to increase learning and to encourage learned men to compose good works—was there nothing in the construction of the Act by Lord Campbell which affected the system of foreign piracies abroad? The meeting were aware that it was only since the peace that our literature had been universally culti vated. But, in spite of the increase of the British read ing public, the cheap rate at which the English works were published in all departments of literature hid con siderably diminished. In respect to light literature, with which he was himself most familiar—(Hear)—novels, for instance, excited a curiosity which must be satisfid, and the works were taken off by circulating libraries, and perhaps that branch of literature was sufficiently re taleursed. The Belles Leltres under the existing law had become almost extinct. When he was in Parliameut some years ago he put on the books of the House a no ice of motion on the subject of international copyright, above the river. It was desirable, in view of all these sources, to preserve the frezb-water flow into the Thames, so as to flush it in its progress through London. The land-springs formed the machinery by which it was scoured down, and its impurities made to mingle with the salt water. The total quanti yof fresh water that flowed through Teddington- weir was 600,000,000 gallons, or, at the rate of 1,000 cubit feet per seeond. Tu dimi nishthis amount of fresh flow one-half would lead to the pollution of the stream, and reduce its efficiency. If the Thames were dispensed with as a source of supply, the existing passage of London might be made available in a high degree—perhaps one -tenth of it would have to might be obtained by assuming the sources of supply to e the same. Fi ve wor ki ng en gines, with a reserve, w ould be enough, and works mightconsolidatedbe undertaken by the consolidated company whi c h the ai b nm e d a ail l : t i e da rumeadal.ticompanies c o uld not undertake.

NAVAL iNTEIaLIGENCE. THE NAVY CLUB DINNER TO THE FIRST LORD OP THE ADMIRALTY.-The Thatched House Navy Clue dinner to the Right Hon. Sir Francis Baring, Bart., the First Lord of the Admiralty, Vice-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., in the chair, is postponed from Thursday, July 10, until Saturday, July 12, on account of Sir Francis being prevented by Parliamentary Judea from dining with the club on the former day. A polio, 8, troop-ship, Commander Rawstornt', arrived at Port Royal from Gibraltar, with troops, June 8. She was en route to Halifax. Alban, steam-tender, Lieutenant-Commander ford arriyed, June 2, at Port Royal, from crreytown. Verew-sloop; lattncheat Woolividff, arrived at Greenock' from Woolwich last Thursday, to have her engines fitted by Scott and Sinclair. Hecate, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Hand, left Ports mouth for Lisbon, on Tuesday afternoon. THE NEW FLAG-OFFICER.-Rear-Admiral Houston Stewart, promoted last week, is one of the members of the Board of Admiralty, and has served about 20 years afloat. Ho is about 61 years of age, is second sur viving son of Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, by Ca therine, daughter of Sir W. W. Maxwell, Bart., and is brdther of the Duchess of Somerset. The follow ing is O'Byrne's sketch of his services:-" This officer entered the navy Feb. 5, 1805, as first class volunteer, on board the Medusa, 82; served in the Re venge, 74, off Brest and L'Orient, and witnessed the capture, September 25, 1806, of four heavy French fri gates by a squadron under the orders of Sir S. Hood. On the latter occasion he was present in the boat which took possession of La Gloire, of 46 guns. In the ensu ing October he joined the Imperieuse, 38, Captains Lord Cochrane and Thomas Garth, in the boats of which ship we find him, 7th January, 1807, contributing to the de struction of Fort Roquette, at the entrance of the Bay of Arcasson. In July, 1808, he aided in enforcing the surrender of the Castle of Mongat, by which the road to Gerona, then besieged by the French, had been com pletely commanded; in September of the same year he united in destroying the semaphores at Bourdique, La Pinde, St. Maguire, Frontignan, Canet, and Foy, with the houses attached to them, 14 barracks belonging to the Gendarmes, a battery, and a strong tower on Lake Frontignan; and in November, 1808, he served on shore at the defence of the fortress of Rosas, beseiged at the time by a French army. He was subsequently placed in command of La Julie, an armed xebec, which he bad assisted in cutting out from under the batteries at Port Vendrea; and was sent to cruise in her, as an armed tender, in the Mediterranean. He then accompanied the expedition to the Walcheren; where, during the siege of Flushing, he obtained the thanks of Captain Garth for suggesting the firing of shells (pre viously provided by Lord Cochrane) from the maindeck guns, whereby the formidable fort of Terneuse was blown up, and the frigate relieved from a very critical position. Was promoted Ist August 1811, to the rank of lieutenant. Served in the Tigre, 74, off Rocheford, in the San Josef, 110, and as signal lieutenant to the Queen Charlotte, 100, bearing each the flag of Lord Keith in the Channel, 3d March, 1814, as acting captain to the Clarence, 74. stationed off Brest. He was confirmed a commander 13th August in the same year; was employed in that capacity between January. 1815, and March, 1817, in the Shark, Royalist, and Rifleman sloops, on the Jamaica station; and was there, in the course of the month last mentioned, nominated acting captain of the Pique, 36, and Salisbury, 58. Capt.du Stewart's post commission bears date 30th June, 1817. His next ap pointment was 21st October, 1823, to the Menai, 26, in which v(eisel, stationed on the coast of North America, he continued until December, 1828. During that period he had charge for two successive winters of the dock yard and port duties at Halifax. In command from 9'h April, 1839, until May, 1842, of the Benbuw, 72 With the Cur)sfort, 26, Magicienne, 23, and Zebra, 16, under his orders,' be was intrust( d during the operations on the coast of Syria, with the bom bardment of Tripoli. He also, in the months of Sept( mb , r and October, took possession of the island of Aronad, attacked To: tosa, which was al . er wards evacuated, saved the consuls of Aleppo and Alexandria, and des , royed the governor's house and stores at the lat ter place; took possession of Ltrktakiah for the Sultan; and distributed above 6,000 stand of arms to the moun taineers. In November. 1840, he was selected to com mand of a force destined for Scanderoon Bay; and ex pedi,ion eventually, however, not required. In the at tack upon St, Jean d'Acre, oil which place he was for a time senior officer, the Benbow was the first ship in action. During the evacuation of Syria by Ibrahim Pacha, Captain Stewart had command, from 21st De cember, 1840, until Ist March, 1841, of the British and Austrian forces employed of the coast. As a reward for his conduct at St. Jean &Acre, Captain Stewart was nominated a C. 8., 18th December, 1840. He was or dered, in the absence of Sir Francis Augustus Collier, to set, 17th July, 1846, as superintendent of the dockyard at Woolwich, and Captain of the William and Mary yacht; and on the 130 November, 1846, he was at pointed comptroller general of the Coast Guard. Captain Stewart married, 10th February, 1819, Martha, youngest daughter of Sir. William Miller, Bart., now deceased, of Glenlee, by whom ho had issue three sons-the eldest, William Houston, a commander, RN.; and the second, Houston, a lieutenant in 321 Regiment, who died a short withdrawn. Mr. COLBURN said be had been one of the greatest sufferers under the present law. It was clear to him that unless the law was altered the literature of this country would ba seriously injured. It was impossible to . expect that authors would write till they were paid; as well might they expect the farmer to till his ground and not rep his . harvest. He had himself given as much as 800/, or 1,0001. for works of fiction; but now, in consequence of the existing law, be could not afford to give authors fir the same matter more than 1001. or 150/. What had prevented the publication of the remaining works of M. Thiers? Why, the publishers had been almost ruined by the operation of the piracie.F. M. Dames attempted to dispote , of his copyright; bit unless there were a recip rocal Copyright Acr, the publishers, he supposed, would not pay one shilling to any foreigner for their publica tions in future. He thought that retaliation was the only wane to be pursued till the Government framed some practical measure. Mr. JEFFREYS, the defendant in the case of "Boosey v. Jeffreys,'' addressed the meeting. at some length, and showed the singular state of the copyright law in Ame rica at present, by which, to secure a copyright, a man must renounce his allegianee to his Queen and country. We continued the injurious effects of this state of things in America, in reference to musical compositions, &c. Mr. Novell() supported the amendment, as did Mr. Cooks, Mr. Hyde Clarke, and Mr. Vizetelly. The CHAIRMAN put the question, and on a show of hands tkie amendment was lost, and the original motion was carried. Mr. G. CRUIKSHANK moved the next resolution, that the meeting considered the subject to be of national in terest and importance, and that the expense of deter mining the meaning of the law thereon ought not to de volve upon a private individual; that a committee be continued to ascertain the meaning of the law, and to open public subscriptions for the necessary ex penditure. Mr. MTARLANE seconded the resolution. Mr HENRY MAYHEW rose to move an amendment, which; however, being of a personal character, was over ruled by the Chairman and the meeting, and after some discu,sion the resolution was csrried. Mr. SHEEHAN proposed a resolution to the effect that an appeal should be made to the House of Lords, and that, if necessary, application should be made to Par liament for a declaratory act to explain the real and true meaning of copyright. The resolution having been seconded, was carried; and subsequently a vote of thanks to the Chairman was moved, seconded, and duly acknowledged. The meeting then separated. rs ok d l s ' aT d y pi days t N ending On this TgE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—We under stand that even b ets are ta k en th at i n t h e c o urse o f t h e present and nex t mont h th e rece ipt s o f t h e L on d on and :.

The inquiry arising out of the alleged attack of the soldiery of the 91st Regiment upon the police was re sumed yesterday (Wednesday), before a special court held for the purpose. The presiding magistrates were Messra. Crossthwaite, Harvey, J. H. Turner, D. Hodg son, and Ilorsfall. The case of IVlTenders being called on, Mr. Snowball, attorney, said he had been instructed to defend the soldiers. He had not had time to commit to writing the statements of the witnesses for the defence, of whom there were 26, but he believed their evidence would put an entirely different complexion on the matter; and he therefore prayed that the bench would adjourn the case until the following day. Mr. Crossthwaite did not offer any objection to the adjournment, but on the following day he should not be able to attend. Mr. Snowball then said, he had an application to malse that the prisoners should be admitted to bail. The officer commanding the regiment was willing to become their security, and the nen would, under his charge, be perfectly safe, and producible when required. Atojor Gordon—l will be responsible for the appear ance of every one of the 24 men. I am aware that there are among them great blackguards, but I feel assured that when they ate put upon their honour as soldiers they wilt keep their bail. The object is, not that the men shall be at large, but when coming out of these dreadful cells they appear iu a state derogatory to the profession of British arms, and not as Queen's sol diers ought to do. Mr. Crossthwaite said, as there had already been some difficulty with respect to the production of font of the men of the regiment (Truster), the magistrates would adjourn before they gave their opinion on the point. On the return of the magistrates, Mr. Crossthwaite said the difficulty of accepting bail, the case being an unusual one, had caused the Leagis- Oates to hesitate, and more particularly as Truster, although a pie lge had been given that he should be produced, had not been forthcoming, neither had a me dical certificate been given of the danger of removing him. The honour of Major Gordon the bench did not doubt; but they would require a certificate from day to day that be (Truster) was in an unfit slate to be re moved, or otherwise that he should be given up. ITP° II this being complied with the prisoners would be admitted to bail. Major Gordon then said that on the t part of colonel urtes Campbell he had to express thanks for the co y and kindness evinced by the tench. o f the bench_ . Mr. Crossthwaite said the great desire (pointing to onliec)atwionnh to make fot had been that the etre shuuld be fully and. fairly in.. vestigated, so that it might not be said that th e e :ea u:B u g:e a trates had acted with partiality towards the Oflitrerd of the police force. d said—l • The Rev. Mr. Connor hers rose an . wish to charge this policeman riot on Monday last. _ for a parts- Mr. Crossthwaite—This is a V ecial court cular purpose. If you have any app _that the case of the man : b e thing in the usual way in an assault, you will get the other ceurt• a s t r a k i• e y d Fount_cted with that of ano- TrMusrferWWabserstni:teinita ther man in custody that the latter could not be die-• posed of until TrokOr was surrendered. Major Gordo re-assured the bench that the stipulra. tion respecti g Truster should be complied with. Jae begged to state that the military authorities had had no. . w hatever to do with creating the difficulty to his thing roduction ; it had been a misunderstandin g on the non-P Pa rt of the milit try surgeon, who in his anxiety for his patient, had, in ignorance of the s e xact forms required, neglected to forward the requisite certificate. This should be done, or the man produced. The Rev. Mr. Connor.(accompanied by a gentleman connected with the regiment) immediately afterwards, applied for a warrant against the policeman he had pointed out in the other court. Mr. Dowling (to the Beech) —There is no necessity for a warrant. The man shall be forthcoming when re quired. I know the obit ct—it is to get the man incar cerated. The Rev. Mr. Connor—That is not my object. Mr. CrosFthwaife—Where is the man? It he is pre sent we «ill take the thing in the regular way. Mr. Dowling said the officer was present. Mr. Wybergh said there was an obstacle to that case being then taken, inasmuch as it would o p en up the evi. deuce in all the other ones. An observation was here made by the military gen. had tlemao. acc ompanying the Rev. Mr. Connor, which reference to Mr. Superintendent Towersr. whom Mr. Towereon said that the person a gainst whom th ey were applying for a warrant was not re!ient at all. Some asperity of feeling was here arising, which was checked by Mr. Wybereb, and the bearing of the cases was further adjourned until Friday nex t. By order, MARK HCISII.

Some of the German .totes had availed themselves of this privilege. Leo countries, France and America, had taken no steps, but he was told that the question had made progiees in France. In Belgium the chief obstacle, however, was felt America had ob:ained the consent of almost all her authors, and the chaise had receiv, d valuable co eperatton trom the press, and he had no doubt till the recent construction which had been put on the statute of Queen Anne, that this great measure would have been eccomplished; but it this construction of the Act of Anne lately pronounced were maintained, then the in ternational copyright became that which was little better than parchment for battledores. Had there been a copyright in America it would have made a difference to him (the Chairman) of 60,0001., and the meeting would judge what the eff. .ct must be on all persons cultivating popular literature. I: would, indeed, be a happy advent when our friends across the Atlantic were converted into the contributors to, instead of the despoilers of Eoglish literature. He knew that certain political economists would Fay that generosity on our part would lead to the happiest results, but he entertained no such exalted idea of the principle of free trade. He Wiled to our commercial tariffs to chow that liberality on our part by no means ensured the principle of reciprocity. He thought the first duty of a country was to protect the rights of her own subi.ete, We had done what was fair and just to America. We had off ri d to her authors, and those of other countries, o a f which we asked her to give to us. He contended it was impossible to have a healthful pure literature in America so long as the present system existed, and whilst there was this wholesale smuggling of English literature. In America " Macaulay's History of England" was to be got for nothing, So, if an American author went to a publisher there, what was the answer: Buy your book, sir! No. Why Dickens's works will sell like wildfire. Thus the native plant faded under the shadow of the transplanted tree. If they looked to America they must call to mind the writings of Jonathan Edwards, Chan ning, and Washington Irving; but they were the chil dren of another period; and in speaking of the improve ment which the glorious Republic made they did not find that the younger generation had made any improve ment equal to the writers of the past. If ho were an American he never would cease to use his efforts to ob tain a national copyright. He should oppose this one sided Act that tended to deport and deneturalise their own literature. He regretted deeply that this great question had been made the subject of litigation between highly-respectable parties, showing the miserable uncer tainty of the law, keeping the most eminent publishers in the same hot water. He had had but a slight acquaintance with Mr. Bohn, who, to his immortal honour, had put a stop to cheep literature, so called, which had polluted the country. On the other hand, he would refer to the son of a prince of publishers, renowned for his liberality, and who had been connected with the most illustrious writers of the day—he referred to the house of Murray. And next he referred to Mr. Bentley, of whom ho would only speak in terms of profound respect and considera tion. Ho most sincerely regretted that on this question he was opposed to Mr. Bentley and to Mr. Murray. He felt that he had promoted the question of copyright, and that, therefore, he could not shrink from being pre sent on this occasion; but in consenting to take the chair he held himself clear from the difficulties with which the question was encompassed. He declined to consider whether this question was or was not connected with free trade, because the opinions of many present were divided. The Hoc. Darmet concluded his uddreas riE SPATE Rl,OO BANQUET. the , The regret which both the military and civil services felt at t tt ; . urnoureil postponement of the Waterloo lim:pet, proved alto hu'r Unfounded.

An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Tuesday last, to consider a deed for amalgamating the old City Gas Light Company with the new company. Thomas Dakin, Esq.. filled the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that, in a matter so deeply affecting the interests of the shareholdets, the directors had thought it better to pre sent a written report of the whole proceedipg, instead of leaving it to the less certain process of explanation by a verbal address. With the permission of the meeting the report should be read, and ho would then be happy to hear any observatiens the shareholders have to offer. Mr. Alderman WIRE real the directors' report, from which it appeared that the Bill of the Great Central had passed both Houses, and is to receive the Royal assent on Friday next. The terms of amalgamation were in conformity with the pledges given to the consumers by the Great Central. The 1' ilUe of the plant of each come peny is to he determined by two arbitrators chosen by the companies, and their decision to be governed by an umpire of their own selection. Mr. HARDWICKE read the indeeture of amalgamation. Mr. rtIACHLN and Mr. LARRY, in short speeches, moved and setconde d the adopuou of the report, which was unanimously Approved. Ur. C PEARSON, D•Tuty STEVEN 4. and other gentle men, address' d the meeting. reeommendieg that all past &if •rences should be forgotten, and diet the directors and shareholders of the two companies should cordially co-operate to carry out the great objec . s of the com pany for the equal benefit of the shareholders and con sumers. The triumphant success of this company, not withstanding the difficulties they had bad to surmount, afforded an additional manifestation of the power of the people when in pursuit of an object of common interest. Mr. STEVENS moved and Mr. BLAKE seconded a reso lution presenting the directors with an allowance of 1.0001. per annum for their services for two years, ac companied by a cordial vote of thanks, in which Mr. Charles Pearson, as an honorary director, was included, for their zealous, persevering, and efficient services in bringing the company to its present state. The resolution, which wail unanimeusly passed, was acknowledged by the Chairman, and the meeting ad• journed. THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMITTEE. On resuming the iuquiry yesterday, Sir James Graham in the chair, Mr. J. Qiick. the engineer of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company, was cross-examined by Mr. Ser geant Wranghem. Q C., on behalf of the water companies of London generally. Captain Veatch was then called and examined by Mr. M e ll o r—Was a eaetuin of the Royal Engineers, and a member of the Harbour Commission. Had devoted great attention to the. quc etion of water supply to the metropolis. In regard to the present system of distribu tion and supply, had had occAsion to observe that the variety of pewee that were charged by the various com• patties for different qualities of water, had made it desir able fer individuals to move from one district to another. Householders were very much swayed in their opinions by the water companies they took their supplies of, both with respect to quality and quantity. Some were very particular about the qteaky, and others about the price. Thought it of the highest importance that water of the heat quality should be distributed to all, and distributed at moderate prices; and thought teat if tho six compa nies on the northern side of the river were consolidated into one, that it would be easy to get the same quality Of water at the same cost, and on the principle of a con stant supply. The same plan might be adopted with reference Po the companies on the southern side of the river. It did not app..ar to him that there was any ne cessity for consolidating the companies on both sides of the river. Uniformity of price in this way might he obtained on both sides of the river. Had considered whether or not the Thames was a proper source of euptly for water to the metropolis, and theught, having considered the other sources of supply obtainable, that it was the most improper source, in a sanitary point of view, that could be devised. It was important to preserve the Thames, and the tresh water streams running into it, as intact as possible, because the latter, after getting into the tidal department, performed a double office—viz., that of preserving and improving the channel of the navigation and also the purity of the river. This flowing of fresh ' water streams into the Thames was essential to its purification, as affected by the sewerage, and was of opinion that the great quantity of fresh water flowing into the Thames at Teddington Weir was one of the main elements in preserving its purity, and the abstraction of the water from that point for the supply of London would be injurious. The river Lest, all other circumstances being the same, would pro duce less polluted water. Under the direction of the Commissioners of Sewers, had directed his attention to the supplies that might be obtained from the Lea. Had ascertained from practical gauging that 7 million cubic feet or 44 millions of gallons of water might daily be procured from the Lea, 21 miles above Hertford, for the daily supply of London. There were numerous fresh water springs on the route of the Loa, from which any quantity of water might be produced. There was one spring with an enormous supply at Woolmor, capable of yielding 300,000 cubic feet or 2,000,000 gallons per diem. The New River and East London Companies were supplied from this source. The supply from the Les to the New River-head, at Islington, was brought 39 miles from Ware by an open aqueduct, at an incli nation of three inches per mile, as a greater slope would make the stream turbid. This circuit of 39 miles could be reduced to 14 miles in a tunnel form. On the north western side of London there were a number of streams in the W atford chalk formation that might be made available. The river Colne, which could be brought 12 miles in a direct line, would contribute 3,000.000 cubic feet per diem, and the Verulam would yield 20 millions of gallons in twenty-four hours, and the supplies might be brought to near Itsgent's-park—se that from these sources alone 64,000,000 gallons might be delivered to London daily. Then, on the southern side of the river, a little up the River Durenth, near Shorehim, 180 feet above high water mark, to a point called Manor-rise, Forest-hill —from that point 2,600,000 cubic feet, or 16,000,000 gallons, could be supplied daily to London through a twelve-mile tunnel, gravitating at six inches to the mile. If the supplies from these sources were brought by tun nels, filtration would not be required. The s upplies from these sources would arrive by gravitation in the I'4llo of lioadoo, and 101 l into reionoira 142 foot ... MOLD.
