The CHAIRMAN said he was sure that the extreme gratification which he had felt in listening to the ex cellent report of Capt. Andrews, must be reciprocated by all present.—(Applause.) Major TYNDALE then moved—" That the works of the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour Company being now completed, and the undertaking being according to the terms of the Act of Parliament vested in the Norfolk Company, the directors be authorised to affix the seal of the company to any deed or instrument that counsel may consider necessary for effecting that object." Mr. F. Mrus seconded the resolution, which was agreed to item con. The two retiring directors, Major Tyndale and Mr. Mills were re-elected. The CHAIRMAN observed, that in his opening remarks as to their future prospects, he had omitted to refer to one matter of great importance. Their friends in the vicinity had brought forward in the present session of Parliament a Bill for the construction of a line from Haddiscoe, through Beccles to Halaeworth, by which an important district would be brought into connexion with the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour. The Bill had passed the second reading, and there was every prospect of its being carried through the House, as no opposition whatever had b°en offered to it. The meeting then terminated.

Between 200 and 300 ref ayes from Hungllry.—until recently sheltered is the domi nions of ABDEL MEscnin —reached the shores of this country to obtain from, the P9ople of England some assistance in misfortnom It appears, quirt', that these rs, on in unfortunates were d r i ven f rom th e land of the Magyars, together with so many other of their fellow countrymen, at the period o f th e defec tion of GEORGEY and of the downfall of KOSSUTH and his compatriots. Until now they have contrived to exist in some way or other under the sheltering ge nerosity of the Massalinen. Anxious, however, to better their condition, and incited p .ssibly by a feel ing of fatigue consequent upon their long confine ment within the frontiers; of Turkey, they have has tened at length to these remote islands, in the hope of obtaining some return of prosperity. The expenses of their voyage have been defrayed by the muni ficence of the Government of Constantinople ; and it now remains for the inhabitants of our own country to enable the refugees in question to secure some satisfactory means of gaining an.bonour able livelihood. To this end exertions seem to be already making in Liverpool with a benevolent inten tion of removing the more immediate anxieties of its foreign visitants. It has been suggested by some en thusiasts that a ball should be given in that great mercantile seaport for the purpose of swelling the hands about to be charitably collected together for the Hungarians. After our fervent and prolonged advocacy of the cause of the betrayed Magyars—an advocacy which obtained for the refugees at Folkestone, within a comparatively brief interval, upwards of a thousand pounds sterling—we cannot assuredly be supposed to regard the continued sufferings of their compatriots with indifference. Our sympathies in their behalf are still earnest and unabated. Nevertheless, we must be permitted to protest most emphatically against the conduct of those pretended friends of Hungary who are using every means in their power to corrupt the unhappy rant who have been hunted to our shores for refuge, to transform them from martyrs of patriotism into sluggards depending systematically upon the alms of a foreign population, to change them from worthy objects of interest, and deserving claim ants on our condolence, into a despicable gang of idlers, eating the bread of charity from the hands of the benevolent, without a single sense of compunction left for their idleness and their mendicancy. We lament to learn that in one of the most squalid quarters of our metropolis a body of men so debased and infatuated appear to have established themselves as in a permanent residence. We are informed that these miserable outcasts from Hungary—undeserving of being regarded for a single instant as representa tives of that fallen but heroic race—are living amongst us in a state of riotous indolence, levying diurnal con tributions on the sensibilities of the English multi tude, and at night squandering the liberal doles of their supporters in drunkenness and debauchery. Anything more lamentable than this in connexion with a glo rious land sold by treason to the vengeance of an im placable despot, can scarcely be imagined. The circumstance appears on the face of it to be charac teristic of the most matchless turpitude and of the most unparalleled debasement. The news of it would perhaps be the very bitterest intelligence that could by possibility be conveyed to the illustrious ex Dic tator of the Hungarians. KossuTa ' s noble heart would burn vsith unutterable indignation were he made acquainted with the shameless state of degrada tion into which some of his exiled soldiers have been plunged by recent occurrences. More especially would his indignation be excited on learning that the disgrace reflected upon his unhappy country had been rendered apparent—of all places in Christen dom ! —in England. F-om England it was that the first and the loudest expressions of sympathy came when the Magyars were first rallying round the marshy suburbs of Debreczin. From England it was that the first practical proofs of interest in the cause identified with the fortunes of KOSSUTH came, when with his almost insulated voice he was calling upon the inhabitants of that fair kingdom to arise at last by a vigorous evi dence of heroism to vindicate their long-despised and outraged nationality. And it is England that has been selected by some of the baser outcasts of Hungary for the scene of their systematized ingrati tude. Scarcely possible as it is for us to give ade quate utterance to our sentiments of disgust at this ingratitude on the part of certain refugees, we can not refrain from at length directing against them the finger of contumely sanguine that, if by no nobler feelings, these miserable dependents on our charity may be impelled by those of absolute shame to alter their mode of proceeding. Opportunities have been afforded to many of their better-minded fellow-countrymen to cross the At lantic in search of that remunerative employment which may almost be had fur the asking in the United States of America. Many better-minded refugees from Hungary than those we have reverted to, have, we repeat, availed themselves of these admirable chances of improvement. Yet the men we allude to have been deterred from following their example by a miserable satisfaction in the leisure obtained through the means of their present organized system of mendicancy. Rather than be at the trouble of earning their bread by honest exertion in the western hemisphere, they prefer remaining amongst us, with nothing to occupy their attention beyond the enjoyment of the charities meeted out to them by popular generosity. Advice, we believe, with this tendency has been proffered to the exiles from Hungary recently arrived in the port of Liverpool. `ti nether such pernicious recommenda tions will have any influence over the poor voyagers from Constantinople yet remains to be seen. Ear nestly we hope that its infamy may be recognized by them betimes, so that their gallant and soidierlike natures may not be contaminated by any such de spicable principles as those which appear to actuate their degraded brethren iu the English capital. For their (Pen sakes, and for the sake, too, of the national reputation of the Hungarians, we are solicitous to receive accounts very speedily of the departure for America of the 262 refugees now sojourning at Liverpool. Great changes have recently taken place in the code regulating the commercial navy of Great Bri tain. In 1849 the navigation laws were completely revised, and England, which had previously adopted the doctrines of free trade in commodities, extended the principle to the means of transit, and, relying on the excellence of its shipping and the qualifications of its hardy seamen, threw open its ports to the competi tion of the vessels of all other nations. It was a bold hut at the same time a wise and judicious proceeding. We believe that monopoly never advanced the inte rests of any large class for whose supposed advantage it was conceded. Deprived, to a certain extent, of the necessity of exertion, that emulation, which is the great sharpener of the wit and exciter to activity, being removed, the parties naturally become negli gent and apathetic, and disregard those ordinary im provements and ameliorations which the sharp rivalry of competition would force upon their attention. The case of our mercantile marine formed no excep tion to the general rule. Many evils sprung up du ring successive years which at length required legislative notice. The alteration in the navigation laws rendered it essential to endea vour at least to remove the causes that pre vented us from entering upon the competition we had invited upon the most favourable terms. The Mer cantile Marine Bill was therefore introduced in the f,il ow i n g year, and we are bound to admit that, se far as it went, it was calculated to prove highly be neficial to the shipping interest, to the shipowners, to the masters and crews engaged in the trade. But did it go far enough ? That is the question, and it is one which we fear must be answered in. the netative. When day after day we read of the fearful loss of life and property by shipwrecks and disasters at sea, arising in too many instances from causes not beyond our own control, we must feel that the Go vernment and Parliament of this maritime nation have not exhibited that natural cnxiety to diminish the number of these casuaities which the vast im portance of the subject, and its effect on the welfare au - i Prosperity of the nation, so loudly and impera tlvely demanded. Wnut stets, we a , ,k, have been taken to avert the chances of cillision at En, which we re gret to say are of almost daily occurrence, involving Ln enormous amount of daraave, and too frequently the entire loss o f s h ip and cargo ' with every soul on board. It it; Et startling fact th a t during the five year ) f ro m 1845 to 1849 in c l us i ve, we find no less than 3,016 case ;; of collision duly repo r t e d an d autfwnticated nr a: ave rage or 6 0 3 in each and every year. 603 cases qf collision annuilly ! about 50 in every month ! ! 12 in each week !! ! nearly two a day !! ! ! Of t h e 3,016 cases, 279 resulted in total loss es , or about 54 in every year. Let it only fur a moment be con sidered that every week one vessel goes to the bottom, with crew, pessengers, and cargo, bringing ruin THE SUN, LONDON, auJ mi.er I , or r,..) many iLl,lividualF, and what will be thought of the crassa negligentia, the criminal default of those who omit enforcing the adoption of such precautions as would, in the great majority of instances, prove effectual. We have now before us a brief pamphlet* by an officer of the Royal Navy, a sound practical sailor, which oilers many valuable suggestions for the prevention of shipwreck and collision at sea, to which we would invite the attention of the Government (more especially of the President of the Board of Trade, within whose department the matter properly falls) and of the Legislature generally. A consideration of the causes that in the great ma jority of instances lead to such collisions, will indicate the nature of the remedies that must be provided. Generally speaking, these heartrending calamities occur through ignorance of the course the coming vessel is pursuing. The look-out may discover the outline of a large ship, but he knows not in what direction she is steering, and is therefore unable to decide what step should be adopted to avoid the im pending danger. Any change in his own course may be productive of the most deplorable results. The uncertainty in such cases produces contradictory orders and the utmost confusion, which paralyses the energies of the men, and prevents them from display ing the presence of mind and activity that are at all times of the utmost importance, but are essentially ne cessary in emergencies such as those above referred to. It is obvious, therefore, that the great desideratum is to provide such a system of night signals as will enable the crews of each ves3el to ascertain nearly the course which the other is steering; and if, with such know ledge, an accident should occur, it must be occasioned by culpable negligence of those on board either vessel. One of Lieutenant LIALAHAN's chief objects is to convey this valuable information speedily and effec tually, and this he proposes to do by means of a lent horn which he has invented for the purpose, and which certainly appears a great improvement on anything hitherto in use. The great merit of the plan consists in its great simplicity, which would enable any man before the mast to learn it practically in all its details in a quarter of an hour, and to make the required alterations in the positions on any change of course with the greatest rapidity. A diagram is given in the commencement of the pam p'nle, which Lieutenant HALAHAN designates as a " night-signal compass," which completely illustrates the matter. It is effected by changes in the position of red, green, and plain lights, two of each being only required ; the signals are eight in number, and immediately show the semi-quadrant in which the ship is proceeding. Lieutenant HALAHAN also suggests a aeries of fog signals, to be used in foggy weather, and which, by methoclizing the usual noises now made to show the presence of some ship, would also show the direction in which she was sailing. We trust that this admirable plan, which we have no hesitation in declaring to be at once the most simple, &finite, and comprehensive that we have ever seen, may be fairly tested, and, if it receive the approba tion of competent judges, to whom it may be re ferred, that it should be carried into practical opera iion with all convenient speed. As we find that three•fourths of the vessels that came into col lision during the five years above referred to are British, it would effect an important amelioration if adopted generally by British shipping. It will in such case be recognised by the marine of other nations, which would hasten to adopt a plea so calculated to promote the interests of humanity throughout the entire world. If the various suggestions that have been offered on this interesting subject were referred by the Board of Admiralty to the commander and officers of the ex perimental squadron, unexceptionable reports could be obtained as to the mode best calculated to attain the great desideratum. There are many other useful hints given by Lieutenant HALAHAN as to the best mode of re ducing the number of shipwrecks. That for im proving the education and qualifications of mas ters, and inducing a higher class to enter the mercantile marine, by having a new class of appren tices, distinct from and in no way interfering with the present mode of apprenticing, to be styled " first class apprentices," is well worthy of notice. Such a course would induce many parents moving in respectable stations in society to accede to the re quests of their children, who are smitten with the charms of a seafaring life. Persons would thus be regularly educated in the best manner for the situa tion of masters, and England would no longer have to complain of the deficiencies of those entrusted with the command of vessels, and on whose discretion and skill the property of our merchants, and the lives of passengers and seamen, are in a great degree de pendent. We cannot close our observations without referring to the proposal for testing the anchors, cables, and ground-tackling now in use. Within 18 months from January, 1849, there were no less than 246 cases of wrecks and casualties between London and Dungeness, of which 131, or more than a half, parted their anchors and cables. The great ma jority of these cases arose from vessels not being provided with tackling of sufficient size according to their tonnage, or they must have been Old or worn out, badly manufactured or made of inferior materials, which could not be the case if Lieutenant HALAHAN'S plans were carried out. We believe that it is the slams unanimous opinion of all persons con nected with the merchant service, that the adoption of stringent measures on this paint, adequate to the object to be attained, would be one of the greatest boons that could be conferred on the shipping interest. It may be said that Government should not inter fere in such matters with owners and masters, but that they should have liberty to use such tackle as they think proper. This, however, would be but false delicacy where the lives of British subjects are concerned. There may be, and we fear are, but too many cases where the loss of a fully insured vessel is not regarded as any very great calamity by the owner. Perhaps a total wreck may in such instances be re garded as the most profitable way of disposing of such vessels. It seems little better than conniving at fraud and knavery to give such persons the privilege of getting their ships' " findings " without regard to their sufficiency. Once more we commend this valuable brochure to all persons interested (and who is not ?) in the welfare our commercial marine. We trust the Govern ment may notice and (if found deserving) reward the suggestions and exertions of Lieutenant HA.LA HAN according to their deserts. We believe that the ser vices of that officer would entitle him to the highest rank, that his character and qualifications are unex ceptionable, and yet, unfortunately for this country, he is still simply Lieutenant ITALlsitx—another of the thousands of illustrations of neglected merit which are to be found in the Royal Navy of Great Britain. * "Plan for the Prevention of Shipwreck and Collision at Sea."

We well re. member the time when fine hours were considered a grand feat from end to end ; and now people, then but too incredu lous (as all ignorant, presumptuous wiseacres invariably are), turn up their noses, exclaiming, " How slow I—here we are more than two hours I—it is really too bad." Well, what do those same unbelievers in human progress now admit, when they find themselves actually transported from London to Brighton, Mt, miles, in less than one hour, by the express train?

The election for officers of the National Guard ought to take place on the 25th inst., and the Ministry were exceedingly desirous that they should take pace on that day, and that the officers should be elected by universal suffrage, inasmuch as such an occurrence would give weight to the argument that the electoral law of the 31st May was intended to apply to elections to the Assembly only, and that the PRESIDENT was to be elected by universal suffrage. The majority of the Assembly desire either that the elections shall be post poned until the enactment of the organic law on the National Guard, or that they shall take place accord ing to the provisions of the law of the 31st May. The Minister of the Interior appeared before the Committee on the organic law for the National Guard on Friday, and was interrogated as to the elections, when he stated that he could give no answer without having first consulted his colleagues ' and immediately withdrew. " When the Minister had withdrawn," says the Journal des Dibats, " the Committee, in order to be prepared for all eventualities, decided that it would prepare a pro position demanding the postponement of the elections. It is affirmed that this proposition was drawn up on the instant by M. Baze, and that it is composed of the two following articles Art. 1. The elections of the National Guard are suspended until after the promulgation of the definitive law on the organization of the public force. Art. 2. All the officers and sub officers of the National Guard are maintained in their functions.' " The Government did not wait for the pro. position to be laid before the Assembly, but at once gave in ; and the Government journals of yesterday announce that a Bill will be presented on Monday to postpone the elections until after the promulgation of the organic law.

" It is on the 10. h inst. that another plenary sitting will be held. On that day will expire the delay of a fortnight, agreed to on the proposition of M. de Manteuffel, to give to the sovereigns of States time to maturely deliberate on the question of the organization of the new Central Executive Government. On that occasion, the Conference will vote regularly and defi nitively. It is not known whether any chance has taken place in the feelings manifested by the plenipo tentiaries in the sitting of the 23d ult., but it is affirmed that Prince •de Schwartzenberg still re tains his opinions. After having voted on this first point, the Conference will have to deliberate on the other conclusions of the first Committee, which has proposed the incorporation into the new Con federation of all the Austrian and Prussian possessions without exception, and the formation of an army of 125,000 independently of the Federal contingent. When these questions have been decided on, the conference will occupy itself with the conclusions of the report pre. rented by its second committee. It is known that this committee, which was charged to prepare the solution of questions relative to the form and constitution of the States, has only presented a part of its report. It has not vet entered on the important question started by the King of Wurtemberg, and discussed by that sovereign in his letter of the 18th of January to Prince do Schwartzenberg. The King of Wur temberg wishes to have a chamber of representatives of all the German people established by the side of the supreme Federal power. This idea, which, whatever may be its fate, shows the sincerity and independence of the liberal and constitutional spirit of the sovereign by whom it was conceded, was rejected by the Prince de Schwartzenberg. The King of Wurternberg, however, does not stand alone in this opinion; his proposition, it is said, has the support of the Kings of Bavaria and Hanover. We may, therefore, expect to see the confe rence divided on this question. Prussia will vote with Austria against the establishment of a national German Parliament; but it is nevertheless true that the letter of the King of Wurtemberg has produced a certain sensa tion in the councils of the King of Prussia." The Hessian Chambers are to meet on the 10th. The Constitutional Journal of Bohemia announces that the Minister of Finance of Austria has ordered that henceforth all export and import duties, levied by the new tariff, shall be paid exclusively in specie. A letter from Berlin, of the 6th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" A telegraphic dispatch has arrived from Austria, containing an evasive answer to the proposals of Prussia. Our Government is said to be give way, and would rather d re e t t u e r r n mi t n o e t d he n o o l t to old Germanic Diet than consent to any organization in which its demands were not ad ulated." The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from Vienna of the 2d instant, stating that the prolonged ill-health of General DR WELDEN has induced him to send in his resignation as military commander of that city. It is said that General WOHLGENUTS is to blle• ceed him. HOLLAND. TRH HAGUE, MARCH Government has voted 6,000 florins for defraying the expenses of the conveyance of articles to the London Grand Exhi bition. The French Ambassador has been recalled from his post. The cause is said to be some disrespectful expressions used by him relative to the PRESIDENT of the French Republic. These reports reached the ears of Louis NAPOLEON and led to this step. SWITZERLAND. " We have already said," remarks the Constitu. tionnel, " that the Swiss Government, yielding to the just remonstrances made to it, had determined on expelling from its territory the refugees of all nations who had sought an asylum in that country, but who had abused the ho s pit a lit y a ff or ded them, by entering into revolutionary schemes of a nature to compromise the security of the neighbouring states. We can now state that th ese refugees w ill receive passports for America, and pass through France to embark at one of the Chann e l p or t s . Precautionary measures will be adopted by the authorities for their passage through the French territory." A letter from Lausanne of the 3d states, that at an out-of-door meeting of the people, at which 10,000 persons were present, held on the previous day, the people voted, by a majority of two-thirds, that per sons holding. salaried places should not be allowed to be elected members of the grand council. Two-thi r d s o f the grand council bad previously been functionaries under the control of the Council of State, and always voted as it commanded. The democratic party, now in power, has constantly supported this system ; and its defeat by the people of Lausanne has caused con siderable sensation. Similar ineetiLgs have been held in other places of the canton. ITALY. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the sth, states that on the preceding day the third anniversary of the pro clamation of the Constitution of the Sardinian States was celebrated at Turin with great enthusiasm. A letter from Turiv, of the same date, adds that a Te Deum was sung, at which toe first authorities of toe State, the Members of both Houses of Parlia ment, and the National Guard were present, and that in the evening the city wiis illuminated. The cries of " VITTORIO EMMANUELE 11. for ever! the Constitution and Italy for ever!" were universal. The family of the GRAND DUKE of Tuscany is to embark for Naples, on the 6th, on board the Strom boli, Neapolitan steam-frigate. Lombardy and Tuscany, and the Papal States are swarming with guerrillas. TiIE GREAT ERNE—CINEREOUS, OR SEA EAGLE.— A very large bird of the above species was shut at Fasnakyle lapt week.

The Money and Commercial Markets were active, but we observe no particular change. _ _ . The Gaspe Gazette publishes tables of the trade of that port.

At Hamburgh, last Friday, the exchange on London was steady. The weather was colder. Grain rather firmer at the Baltic ports. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the Bth was without much movement. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 57 1 /e. Spanish Five per Cents. were in request. The English Funds have been very quiet, and there has been no particular change in the quotations.

The advices from Mexico inform us that, owing to ill' health, the Minister of Finance had resigned ; but whether this was merely temporarily is not stated.. M. Falconnet, at an interview with General Arista, the new President, had re ceived very strong assurances of a desire to carry out the arrangements with the foreign bondholders, and to do everything possible to meet the justice of the case. Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh likewise expect to meet is full the claim upon them. The Conducta, that was on its way to the capital, did not arrive in time to allow of any money being shipped by the packet which brings these advices, supposing there was any to come, as is inferred. The present system of the West India or Mexican mails is greatly complained of, a period of three months elapsing before answers can be returned from Mexico. The re mittance for the dividend is about 56,000 dollars, but from the instructions sent out by the committee there is every prospect of the indemnity money being speedily available through the agency of Messrs. Baring, and this will yield about 616 per cent. The Bonds have been depressed this morning to 34 and 33 1 ,1.
