That the capital be raised by the issue of 3,000 shares of 1001. each, not: subject to a r. nnt in gen c y upon life, and that the i,iunts of the Association be divided annually: That those subscribers who have paid their deposits upon the plan originally announced, may, on or before Monday, the 24th inst., re ceive back the same, without deduction, upon application at the Office, and those who are desirous of transferring their subscription to the present scheme, are requested to signify the same on or before that day.

The Provisional Committee of the Paris and Lyons Railway Com pany having ascertained that it is the intention of the French Govern ment te lease the line to a company able and willing to reimburse the State for all expenditure hitherto incurred, and to undertake all fur ther outlay which may be required for the entire construction of the line, have determined upon increasing the capital to the full amount necessary for this purpose. In conformity with the terms of sub scription contained in the circular of the 10th August last, which con templated such a contingency, they have resolved upon offering to the Shareholders Two New Shares for every Old Share, sub ject to all the liabilities of increase or diminution hereafter, as in the former case, and subject also to any further call which may be found necessary.

Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit (with out security) for half the amount of the first seven annual premimns, paying interest thereon at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, with the option of paying off the principal at any time, or having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the policy becomes a claim. Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are generally re quired for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the same security for the payment of their claims, whenever death may happen, as if they paid double the amount of premium, which would be charged for assurances effected in the us ial way.

This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in a large paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it since its commencement in 1834, its ANNUAL INCOME being UPWARDS of 72,0001. In 1841 the Company declared an addition to the Shareholders of one-half of their Stock, and also added a Bonus of 21. per cent. per annum, on the Sum Insured to all Policies of the Participating Class from the time they woe effected. The Bonus added to olicies from March, 1834, to December 31, 1840, is as follows : Sum Time Sam added Sum Time Sum added Assured. Assured. to Policy. Assured.

CAUTION TO CONSUMERS.—DRY GAS METERS. DEFRIES'S DRY METERS have successfully stood the test of six years' trial. Among the 10,000 in use, they have been adopted by the official authorities of the Houses of Parliament, Woolwich Dock-yard, Somerset-house, Foreign-office, Thames Tunnel, United Service, Reform, Conservative, and other Club-houses, the Queen's Theatre, Chinese Exhibition, and many other large establishments. Upwards of 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas have passed through some of these meters without regula tion or repair, and which are still working to the entire satisfaction of the gas company and consumers. All gas consumers who study economy and a good light are invited to avail themselves of the advantages and comfort to be derived ftom the use of Defries's Dry Meter, but, to prevent the substitution of im perfect imitations, it is necessary at all times to order Defries's Dry Meter, and to observe his name on the brass badge in front of all his meters.

PATENT PARAGON CAMPIIINE LAMPS.

Wools are still reported firm, and fine foreign wool is on the advance. The spring trade for hosiery and fancy goods is flatter than usual, owing to the prolonged winter, but hopes are entertained of a brisk demand as soon as the weather irnproves.—Leicester 431ercurp SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT). STAMFORD, MARCH S.—This day our quiet town has been in a ferment occasioned by the clerk of an attorney, who is also a manorial steward to the Marquis of Exeter, carrying about a petition to the House of Commons against this railway : the objection to the line is that its crossing the road on the level near the bridge will be dangerous. A little handbill was soon distributed in the town to caution persons against being entrapped, as this objection is the only bugbear the Marquis of Exeter can raise against the Bill. At twelve o'clock the enormous number cf 26 persons had signed this precious document, although it was headed by " Chas. Haycock, Mayor," who had on the previous day also solicited signatures. His Worship, it is reported, is about to add a weather vane argent to his coat of arms, he having signed the memorial in favour of this line. At the close of this day not sixty inhabitants had signed the peti tion. The memorial in favour of the line now before the Board of Trade was signed by 2,000. It is expected that Sir George Clerk will oppose the wishes of his constituents on this most important measure for the benefit 2f the town. The following excellent bill was issued yesterday evening : " TO THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED, AND THOSE WHO CONTEM PLATE SIGNING, THE PETITION AGAINST THE SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH LLNES CROSSING ON A LEVEL AT THE BRIDGE. " Gentlemen,—Spare your humanity, since you will not extend it ! The evil you sign against is most problematical —the good you would oppose most positive You tell us our lives would be endangered by the railway—we tell you our lives are in danger without it ! You tell us that life may be lost by an accident—we tell yeti that our lives may be lost from starvation t* We ask for work, that we may live—we are told we are permitted to live in a workhouse! A railway is offered which will bring to our own desolate homes the comfort and blessing of cheap coal—and you mock humanity by refusing this, affecting to regard our safety! Truly "the corruption of reason is worse than bru tality itself." Pray retire to your own cheerful firesides, eat, drink, and be merry—think for yourselves if you please ; but leave us alone. We ask not your aid—we seek not your ad vice—we detest and despise your opposition. " Signed, on behalf of the poor, " HUMANITAS." * Coals are from 265. to 30s. per ton. CAMBRIDGE RAILWAY LINES. A meeting of the Trustees of the Paper-mills, Turnpike road, took place at the Red Lion, Cambridge, on Saturday, the Rev. Dr. Graham in the chair. The following Trustees were present :—The Rev. Dr. Webb (Master of Clare); G. Pry me, Esq. ; Ebenezer Foster, Esq. ; G. Fisher, Esq, ; C. Pemberton, Esq. ; H. J. Adeane, Esq. ; W. P. Hammond, Esq. ; Henry King, Esq. ; S. Chambers, Esq. ; W. Swann, Esq. ; and C. Balls, Esq. The minutes of the former meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr. RANCE, the Clerk of the Trust, stated that, in con formity with the resolution passed at the preceding meeting (Saturday, March 1), he wrote, on March 3, to the Secretary of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company, expressing regret that the illness of the engineer, Mr. Buck, should have prevented the solicitors of the Bill from sending an under taking to insert the two clauses proposed by the Trustees, and requesting that they would, before the adjourned meet ing on the Bth, give the Trustees a positive undertaking to insert the clauses, otherwise they would not feel themselves any longer justified in remaining passive. In consequence of that letter, he had, on March the 6th, received a communica tion from the solicitors to the Cambridge and Lincoln Rail way, dated March the 6th, stating that they saw no objection to the clauses, but that they could not have been included in the first print of the Bill, inasmuch as it was presented and deposited in the Private Bill office before they received them. They added, that they expected that the engineer (Mr. Buck) would be shortly sufficiently recovered to be in town ; but should that not be the case, that they would consult another engineer; and en tertained no doubt that they should be authorised to give the undertaking required by the Trustees. A short discus. sion ensued, in which some sparring took place between Mr. Alderman Fisher, a promoter of the Bill, and C. Pemberton, Esq., an anti promoter ; and during which, Ebenezer Fos ter expressed doubts of the safety in grudging th e sma ll fund requisite to petition. The Bill, he said, would be read a second time on Monday, March 10th (this day), and three clear days required by the standing orders alone remained to petition. They had not the undertaking to secure them ; only a repetition of the promise. He had seen so many trickeries in London with Parliamentary agents and railway Bill solicitors, to make him fear the Bill might be hurried on to a third reading, to the exclusion of their power of pe titioning. G. PRYME, Esq. (late M. P. for Cambridge), explained, that by the soard of Trade's recent decision, the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Bill could not go into Committee till after Easter. They had three weeks for adjournment and petition if the undertaking was not sent. After some conversation as to the most convenient day for adjournment, H. J. Adeane, Esq., proposed the following re solution : " That this meeting do adjourn to Thursday. the 20th inst., at twelve o'clock, in the expectation and reliance, that previously to that day, the solicitors to the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Bill will give the undertaking required from them, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to them." The resolution having been seconded by Wm. Parker Hammond, Esq , was carried unanimously ; and the meeting, after the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman, which he acknowledged, separated. PETITIONS AGAINST THREE RAILWAY LINES. At the same time and place in Cambridge, the Com mittee appointed by a meeting of the Ely Turnpike trustees held on Monday, March 3, met for the purpose of carrying out the resolutions passed on that day. The re solutions were that petitions be forthwith presented to Par liament against three railway lines, viz.-1. The Cambridge and Lincoln Railway ; 2. Cambridge and Huntingdon ; 3. The Ely and Bedford; and that committees be appointed to draw up the petitions so resolved. The Committee accordingly met on Saturday, C. Pemberton,Esq., in the chair, and agreed upon the draft of three.petitions in conformity with the above resolutions. FlRE.—Betweeen three and four o'clock on Satur day morning considerable alarm was created, from a fire being discovered in one of the sheds belonging to Edwards and Bennett's bay and straw-yard, adjoining the extensive premises of Messrs. Goding, brewers, Belvidere-road. A man who slept in the yard was the first who discovered the fire ; he instantly raised the alarm, when the police-con stable who was on duty ran for the West of England and Waterloo-road engines, while those connected with the place proceeded to get the horses out—sixteen in number, all of which were turned loose into the road. Several of the fire men belonging to the We s t o f England establishment arrived just as the fire was obtaining a hold, but a plentiful supply of water being on the premises, they suc ceeded, by means of buckets, in preventing the fire from extending, and which they ultimately succeeded in extin guishing. Had the discovery been delayed a quarter of an hour longer, the whole place must have been destroyed, and, in all probability, the whole, or at least a great portion, of the brewery would also have fallen a prey, as the access from the road is extremely difficult for engines. NOVEL MODE OF PERFORMING DIVINE SERVICE TO THE DEAF AND DUMB.—On Sunday afternoon the following novel mode of performing Divine service to a congregation consisting chiefly of deaf and dumb persons took place at the chapel of the Scottish Hospital, in Fleur-de-lis-court, Trinity-passage, Fetter-lane. The sermon was preached by the Rev. John Adey, and was rendered intelligible to the deaf and dumb portion of the auditory, of whom a great num bertle- ma of n w b h o o t 1 is s c e o x n e v s e h r s a a d n t a s w s t m h b t l h e d e , m by o d a o s 11. 0 7 . signsß ank u s , s c a d g h e y n the deaf and dumb, interpreting every word as it was uttered by the preacher, and the rapidity of his motions in effecting this was truly astonishing. The chapel has been opened by the Society for the Relief of the Destitute Deaf and Dumb, thus affording an opportunity for that afflicted portion of the com munity the privilege of being enabled to attend Divine ser vice, from which by reason of their infirmity they had been shut out. SINGULAR AND FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE CONSERVATIVE CLUB. HOUSE.—On Saturday afternoon an accident, which it is believed will be attended with fatal re sults, took place at the above named club-house. It appears that *tie of the waiters, named Joseph Smith, aged 25, who was assisting in drawing up coals from the cellar, through the various trap doors, to the top of the house, which was performed by . rneans of a crane, essayed, at length, to go down n the scuttle which had brought the coals up. He had not, however, descended many feet, when the chain by which he was suspended snapped asunder, and he was precipitated into the cellar beneath, from a height of several yards. He was conveyed in a state of insensibility to St. George's Hospi tal, where he remains in a most deplorable state of suffering from a fractured spine and other serious injuries. FRENCH STATISTICS. —A comparative table of the imports into France, during the years 1843, 1844, and 1845, has just been published. The duties received in January, 1845, amounted to 11,360, 029 francs. In 1844, they were only 10,350,169 francs, being 361,000 francs less than the pre ceding year. In January last, the coffee consumed was 10,495 metrical quintals, in 1844 it was 9,655 quintals, an d in 1843, 8,659 quintals, showing a progressive increase. Cotton wool is put down in 1845 at 51,328 quintal s , i n 1 844 at 43,92 7 , and in 1843 at 53,213 quintals. The importation of flaxen and hempen thread in 1845 was 10,277 quintals, in 1844, 7,543, and in 1843 8,721, quintals. There has been a remarkable increase in the introduction of raw cast-iron from 23,932 quintals in 1843, to 41,115 quintals in 1844, and 58,081 quintals in 1845. In January, 1843, there was received for consumption 5,807 quintals of sesamum, an oleagenous qiuhaentiiratypalaastilala,4Bo4f coalquintals, has and in 1845, s l e l e ,9o d, shown a re markable progression. In January , 1 843, it was 668,241 B in qu lB in g tal t s h . e quintals, in 1844, 807,404, and in 1845, 1,241,032 quintals. There has been also an increase in wools. In 1843 the arri vals amounted to 20,126 quintals, in 1845, to 21,008, but in 1844 there were only 14,754 quintals. The increase of duty received was greater in proportion which is to be attributed to the greater quantity of fine wool brought in. The con sumption of colonial sugar in 1843 was 60,807 quintals, in 1844, 66,291, and in 1845, 73,013. But there has been a decrease in foreign sugars. The import of cloths has been this year rather greater than the last, but less than in 1843. These comparisons apply only to the quanties upon which duties have been paid, and not to the gross arrivals. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT SALT HlLL.—There has, perhaps, never been a case in which more idle and absurd rumours have been circulated to the prejudice of the accused ; he has been, according to them, by turns deserted by wife and family, counsel and solicitor. We know that arrangements have been made by the Judges, by which Mr. Fitzroy Kelly will be able to attend the trial of this case, es well as that for which he has a special retainer at Maidstone. We regret to hear that the unfortunate gentleman's solicitor, Mr. Bevan, was taken suddenly ill on Wednesday last, from over-exertion and anxiety, which may possibly prevent his•attendance at the trial. The arrangements for the defence are all but conolucled. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) MONDAY, MARCH 10. PROPERTY-TAX BILL, Reported ; Motion made, and Question proposed, " That the Amendments made by the Committee to the Bill be now read a second time :"—Amendment proposed, to leave out from the words " That the" to the end of the Question, in order to add the s ords " circumstances under which the renewal of the Income-tax is at present proposed, are such as to render it exceedingly improbable that Parliament will have the power of dispensing with its continu ance at the end of three years ; and that it is therefore the duty of this House to take care that the Tax be imposed in a form in which its operation shall be less unequal and inquisitorial than it now is," instead thereof:—Question put, " That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Question."

The moorings lately occupied by the Actaeon, 26, off St. Jelin's Leke were examined for the purpose of repairing their defects, when, on heav ing up the anchor, a small hole was perceived in the stock on the surface, which on a close inspection was seen to be tenanted. The anchor was brought on shore for inspection, and on driving off the hoops and taking the stock apart, out came a fine black congor eel, above four feet in length, and weighing above ten pounds. lie must have entered when very young, as the hole on the outside would not admit one-half his size, and although he could not turn in his house, yet he must by some means have lived well as lie was remarkably tiro and fat. The idle and injudicious prosecution in the Royal Court of Guernsey of the Governor by a jurat is still proceeding, though the Crown officers refuse to have anything to do with it. They rightly urged the absurdity of the Court's entering upon a matter in which their decision, if unfavourable, could not be acted upon,—Jersey Zil" March 7. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vublit ®pinion. " Who runs may read." POREIGN.

On Monday George May, shopman to the late Mr. Mon tague, who, it will be recollected, had, with Mrs. Montague, been poisoned at Camberwell on the llth of last month, was placed in the felons' dock, before Mr. Henry, at Lambeth Police-court, on the following charge, as entered in the police sheet :—" Forfeloniously appropriating to his own use various sums of money received by him for and on account of his late master ; also with forging the name of the deceased to various receipts in the parish of St. Giles, Camberwell." Mr. Dodd, the vestry-clerk of Camberwell, attended to prosecute on behalf of the heir-at-law to the late Mr. Montague ; and Mr. Humphries appeared on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Dodd briefly alluded to the melancholy circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoner, and said that since the mysterious death of Mr. and Mrs. Montague, their books and accounts had been examined, and it was found that the prisoner, who had been their shopman and confiden tial servant, had received various sums of money on account of his master, of which he had made no entry in the books kept for that purpose ; and coupling this fact with the in formation which had been obtained from the customers them selves, the nephew of Mr. Montague, w h o i s nex t o f ki n, deemed it advisable to give him into custody on the charge of embezzlement and forgery. Evidence was then adduced as to certain declarations of the prisoner to police-inspector Campbell, with respect to the accounts, and of the receipt of moneys, of which no entry had been made. Mr. Humphries observed that en the inquest holden after the melancholy affair, on the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Mon tague, the prisoner had been examined for hours, and,-though not upon oath, his deposition had been taken down touching these very accounts, with the greatest minuteness. He com plained that it was an indirect attempt to connect the pri soner with a charge of murder. Mr. HENRY said he had nothing to do with such irregu larities, and that he should countenance no more inferential imputations. He was of opinion, however, that there were grounds for remaml, and he asked what was the total amount of the alleged embezzlement? Mr. Dodd replied from 501. to 1001., and added that he would be able to show on a future occasion that the prisoner had represented himself on many occasions as the nephew of the deceased. The prisoner was remanded to a future day, and Mr. Henry consented to take good bail for his appearance. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. A meeting of shareholders in the above line was held yes terday, at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, under rather singular circumstances. On Friday last, an adver tisement appeared in a morning paper, calling a meeting of shareholders at the above house to take into consideration the condition of the company in consequence of the peculiar difficulties in which it was unexpectedly placed, and, Saturday another advertisement appeared, signed by secretary, denouncing the former notice as a stock-jobbing hoax, and stating that the company were in no difficulties, the Bill having been read a first time and standing for a second reading on Monday. Yesterday morning Alderman Vickers (of Sheffield), the projector of the line, issued a cir cular, calling on the shareholders to assemble at therap peinted place, as "it is expedient either to drive the oppo nents of the line into the pit they have dug for the promoters, or, if they do not attend, to place such a resolution before the public as will show this line to be beyond a doubt of first rate public and private value." At two o'clock, there being about twenty shareholders present, E. S. Kennedy, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. VicKuns said, on Friday last his attention was called to the advertisement convening this meeting, and he hastened to the solicitors of th e line, bgging them not to contradict it, but to let it take place, and see if any one dared to come forward. He regretted that that course had not been fol lowed. On Saturday, he ascertained that ne room had been engaged by their opponents, and therefore he engaged it himself, determined that, as the meeting had been called, it should take place. J. STANIFORTII, Esq., solicitor to the Goole line, moved, and Mr. VICKERS seconded, a resolution—" That this meeting express its strongest disapprobation of the unworthy means used by the anonymous writers of the advertisement t o depre ciate the property of the shareholders in the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway by such calumnious and foul reports; and that they deem such conduct most disgraceful and dishonour able to the character of Englishmen ; and that this meet ing express their strong belief in the excellency of the pro jected railway, and recommend it to the continued support of the shareholders, and the favourable consideration of the public at large." The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. W.AunstAx then moved, and Captain Cousuis, for merly harbour-master of London, seconded a resolution re commending the shareholders to support the extension lines, the Lincoln, Leeds, and York direct, and the Goole, Don caster, Manchester, and Sheffield Junction, as tending with this line to ensure the public a cheap supply of coals ; which was also carried. Thanks being voted [to the chairman, the meeting ad journed. LETTERS OPENING.—On Monday a public meet ing (by requisition to the Mayor) was convened at Nottingham, rela tive to Sir J. G.

She hauled off into the stream, and took up moorings next to the flag-ship St. Vincent, and bent sails the same afternoon. She will leave the harbour fot Spithead on Monday or Tuesday. The Adventure, naval transport, Master-Commander W. Raskilly, sailed on Friday for Devonport with stores. Courts-martial were held on board the Pique, at Antigua, on the 13th of January, to try Lieutenants W. J. R. Card and Constant Gliun, and Surgeon Macrea, all of the slodp . Hyacinth, 18, Commander Francis Scott, for a breach of the regulations respecting duelling. The Court comprised Captain the Hon. Montague Stop ford, of the Pique, President; Captain Erskine, of the Illus trious ; Captain Elliott, of the Eurydice ; Commander Forbes, of the Illustrious ; and Commander Sturt, of the Rose. Mr. James Smith, Secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Adam, K.C.8., officiated as Deputy-Judge-Advocate. Commander Scott, of the Hyacinth, preferred the charges, which were embodied in the fact that Lieutenant Card and Surgeon Macrea went ashore whilst the Hyacinth was in the Congo River, on the coast of Africa, and fought a duel with pistols, and for having sacrificed their words as officers and gentlemen, previously given to Commander Scbtt (to whom the cause of quarrel had been previously referred, and apparently amicably adjusted by him), that they would not leave their ship with any hostile intent. Lieutenant Card and surgeon Macrea were the first tried, and having nothing to allege in extenuation of their con duct, other than the provocation each received from the other the Court, after mature deliberation, were of opinion that the charges were fully proved, and sentenced Lieut. Card to be dismissed his ship, and placed at the bottom of the list of lieutenants for three years ; and Surgeon Macrea to be placed at the bottom of the -list of surgeons Lieutenant Glinn was then tried on the charge of having acted as second to Lieutenant Card, which was fully proved, and he was sentenced to be dismissed his ship, and placed at bottom of the list of lieutenants. Mr. William Dillon, master of the Hyacinth, was to have been tried for having acted as second to Surgeon Macrea, but was invalided home some time prior to the publication of the order for the trial. The above circumstances originated in a quarrel on board t .le Hyacinth, we are informed, involving matters of delicacy between Lieutenant Card aad Surgeon Maerea. The Royal Marines who volunteered from the various divi sions to serve in the Royal Marine Artillery Corps, are daily (weather permitting) practised in the necessary evolutions on Southsea-common and at the Marine-battery. The corps, when complete, will be 670 strong, of which number it is about KO gunners short. The corps already presents a very serviceable, fine appearance. The Racehorse, 18, Commander Hay, has taken the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot, at Cork, vice the Amazon, 26, sailed to the Mediterranean. Contracts for 1,500 quarters of wheat were taken (not to weigh less than 601 b. per bushel) at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard, Gosport, on Thursday, at 435. 9d. and 445. per bushel. Workmen have been engaged during the past week in forming a platform at the extreme east angle of the King's bastion for mounting two more heavy guns. There are al ready eleven (three 12 and eight 32-pounders) serviceable guns mounted on the above bastion, and two more 32'e will be mounted in a few days, making a total of 13 guns, besides mortars, on this important part of the Portsmouth lines: The guns on the Spur Redoubt, below the bastion, to the right, have all been cleaned and efficiently mounted within the last few days; they consist of three 32 -pounders, com manding the mouth of the harbour, and five long 18's com manding Spithead. The Portsea and Gosport lines will be materially strengthened, and put into an efficient state of defence on the completion of the surveys. - - - PROMOTIONS. Commander--J. W.
