At one penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de mands. As will he noticed by the above list, so it is a well-known fact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 tech, or 2s. 2d. per pound, whfch, with duty added, makes 4s. 414 d. per pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number One, sold this description at 45. 6d. per pound. Hundreds and thousands of people have tried it, and can vouch for its strength and richness of flavour. Nobody ever finds fault with it, and it pleases every body, because it is both good and cheap. When Government falls the duty, we will fall the price of tea in the same ratio, at Number One, and publish it to the world. All purchasers will be allowed one pound on every 30 pounds as overweight.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I I s, bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund mice, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact: , . -3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and orevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the Most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief Is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair oil children's heads in a few appplications.

PARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy siclans have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &c. In the first stage of consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

THE COUNTRY OF JENNER.—On looking at the registers of York, he (Dr. Laycock) found that twenty fchildrenthe bad blind th diede other from day,sm a - h p small-pox, x , and ascertainedo n visiting that the mel; ahS lthe a c l h f o o o f l the pupils were blind i n cons eq u ence of havin s mall-pox. It was w e l l known that su ch need riot be the ca se in this land; a n d when he remembered tha t t his l and gave birth to Jenner, he blushed for the neglect which was manifested; and well might a foreigner express his surprise that so many should be the victims of that disease in this country, when in Ilanover and Prus=ia he never saw a single instance o'n" blindness from the small-pox. —Dr . Laycock's Speech at York, Sept. 12, 1846. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TILE GREAT WESTERN RA LWA T. —On Monday, as the express-trt , in from Exe ter, arriving at Paddington, at 411. 30in., was passing the four o'clock down train at Southall, the tire of the driving wheel flew off, and striking a second-class carriage on the down-train, broke the upper part to pieces, killing on the spot two men, and wounding several others. A lady in the , express-train was also injured by the rebound of a part of the broken wheel. Neither train was thrown off the rails, and the express was not travelling at above its usual speed. me T nt H s The returns of the past quarter prove that nothing effectual ,EchiI:fIOyNSEQUENCE OF NON•INTERFEREN oE. h th a e s c b o e n en sel d u o e n n e coe t f o ias p sth u ho t a: a 7 s , top to the disease, suffering, and death in which so many thousands perish ; that the improve , n g o a t oi r s e , a a ch n e d d sh th ip e B h . im p and habits of the people; and that bat of the 11011 and women u thousands, perfi a themselves,nlsuperficial, u perish otsnildYeoc fh o of character, children,eterdiseases h a formerly so fatal, for the same reasons, in barracks, camps, art of the Registrar-General, ar- General, 1846. (From The Sun of last Night.) There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur day, at previous rates. Sales, 3,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were lower. The numerous arrivals from abroad do not, as may be presumed, bring equally favourable intelligence. The political accounts from our East Indian possessions, intimate that there was some fear of treachery at Lahore, but few here doubt the ability of Lord Har dinge to overcome it. The Six per Cent. Loan was filling up better. In general the markets for imported goods, whether in India or China were not active. The packet-ship Anglo Won, with accounts of the sth inst. from New York. seems to bring a good report to those who watch with patriotic anxiety the chances of an abundant supply of food. There is evidently a conviction on the part of the Americans that they have so large a surplus that it will be to their interest to sell us as much as they can at existing rates. In the Metropolitan Corn Exchange these accounts have had due weight to-day, wheat being dull of sale, while malt, b;c., is decidedly cheaper. At Dublin, and in o ther places also, there is a decli ne in the price of grain. The news, per steamer, from Jamaica, Demerara, and the other West India colones, is very cheerful with respect to the weather and the prospect for the next crops. In Aria' Birmingham Gazette , rec eived this day, we find the following just remarks ;—"The preduction of railways is not essentially different from the production of mannfac tured goods generally —wages have to be paid and circulated while railways are making, as they have during the process of other manufactures, and the return of profit wi ll imme diately commence in b oth cases, :Paean as the manufacture, is completed; and supposing rail Ways to be---as they ought to be—in the hands of capitalists, no inconvenience can arise from the necessary delay in their completion. With the present scarcity and high price of provisions, it is well that the labouring classes have profitable employment, and that our captalists are compelled to circulate their money, since this must tell immensely to the national welfare and advantage. Fortu nately for the stability and safety of the trade of this impor tant district, Birmingham has been comparatively free from that undue and unwholesome speculation in railways in 1845, the consequences of which continite to be gradually developed in towns where that speculation was carried to so fearful an extent. Our merchants and manufacturers have, for the most part, already furled their.Als, and are prepared for the threatening storm, which will pass harmlessly over them if legitimate credit and confilence be fairly maintained and supported." We join our contemporary in the remainder of his reason ing as to the impolicy of the Times, or indeed of any journal making bad worse by its exaggeration of evils. We are enabled to state, on the best authority, that the London and North-Western Company have offered to lease the Scottish Midland Railway in perpetuity, at 6 per cent. and half profits ; the offer will doubtless be accepted. As the Scottish Midland joins the Aberdeen line in the neigh bourhood of Forfar, it is understood that this offer to the f or mer is preliminary to the conclusion of the negotiations between the London and North-Western, which have been going on for some time for leasing the Aberdeen, in which case the Euston-square company will next year have an un interrupted communication from the metropolis to the north of Scotland, a distance of more than 500 miles. The Englimh Funds have been to-day decidedly better. The rally is in fact to % per cent. in Consols, owing mainly to the great improvement in the Rentes at Paris on Saturday. For transfer to-morrow the quotations have been 90 3 / 4 to 90%, and for time 96% to 91; 4 . Exchequer-bills have been ls. higher, viz., 3s. to 7s premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 92% %. Bank Stock is worth only 203% to 204%, not having participated in the improvement. East India Stock is marked 248 to 250. The Foreign Bonds have participated in the improvement of our own market, and are more dealt in at advancing rates. Spanish Five per Cent. have been 23 to 23%; and the Three per Cents. 34 1 4 to 34. Portuguese Four per Cent. have been 34 to 34%; Mexican, 21% 3 / 4 ; Grenada, 18% to 19 ; Brazilian, 84 to 84%; and Dutch ;rim-and -a-Half per Cents., 57 to %.

THE PRICE or BEER.—We are requested to state that the London brewers have not raised the price of porter one penny per quart or 1 . 25. a barrel, as was stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but only ss. a barrel, or rather less than one-halfpenny a quart. The additional advance has no doubt, in many instances, been made by the retailers. FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The proposition which Lord J. Russell is to submit to the consideration of Parliament this evening has an inherent importance, to which even the magnitude of the present crisis can add nothing. The introduction of a mea sure of relief for the poor of Ireland concerns not only present interests and temporary exigencies, but the necessities of the rehole empire for all time to come. The condition of Ireland is, directly, the condition of the British empire. No legis ative union can tighten —no Utopian separation could dis solve—that intimate and close connexion between the two islands which has been formed by the hand of nature, and consolidated by the operations of time. Where position and circumstance have stone so much, it were vain for the wishes and theories of men to struggle against their results. It were as easy to change the geographical longitude of Dublin, as to untie that social union which exists and will exist be tween Ireland and England, independently of the wishes of the people, or the resolutions of the Legislature. Each year cements by closer fusion the twain branches of the Saxon and the Celtic stocks. Those giant ministers of civilization, steam and iron, deride with Promethean sneer the puny !seance of faction and the antipathies of fear. Whilst our passions are the most excited, and our jealousy the most vigilant, terror and passion are found equally unavailing to keep those apart whom a higher Power than man's has joined by the contiguity of position and the bond of mutual dependence. It does, therefore, become to every thinking Englishman a question of paramount importance how that natural unity which already exists shall be best confirmed by legislative enactments, and that intercourse which can never be checked shall be carried on to the greatest advan tage of both countries. Hitherto the union has been local and geographical, but not substantial. Ireland and England have resembled nothing else so much as the dead and the living bound together by the fetters of a cruel caprice. The dead body has been convulsed with painful imitation of its breathing neighbour; the living has drunk in inevitable cor ruption from the contagious mortality of its companion. But this must now be changed. The lethargy of centuries must be dispelled, and a vital warmth i n fused into the stagnant channels of suspended life. Ireland must be one with Eng land in the participation of her social and material, no less than of her political and constitutional privileges. England .must be freed from the drag-chain rot Irish improvidence and the contagion of Irish pauperism. At present, Ireland is paying the heaviest penalty for the past imprudence and shortsightedness of her wealthiest and most powerful. sons. But she is not paying this by herself: England is mulcted for connivance at a great neglect, which time has developed into a great crime. The weakness or the indifference of man has given intensity to the inflictions of Heaven ; and England feels the scourge which has visited Ireland for the omission of duties which it was once incumbent upon herself to fulfil, and it is now in cumbent upon both to recognise. Celtic hunger and Celtic fury are gnashing their teeth in alternate prayers and exe crations. The redundant tide of Irish misery swells with ominous din and increasing force upon the high shore of our cities and chief marts. Each succeeding vessel from the famine-smitten island brings a new cargo of wretchedness, elamarous for alms, and resolute in complaint. Bristol, Liverpool, Stockport, are thronged with this gaunt and fear ful immigration. In vain are the necessities of domestic want and the indigence of native industry pleaded against the obstreperous demands of this intrusive destitution. In vain is it ur ge d t h at the f i rst mortgagees of home half time, and th e E ng li s h shop k eeper charity ar e unusually numerous; that the English arti zan is worki ng receiving half profits. Irish want and Irish per tinacity admit of no such reply. The dark and squalid throng that diminished wages have thrown upon the succour of parochial or private bounty has received a fearful augmen tation to its numbers in the dreary multitude whom a novel and unheard-of enterprise has landed he our western ports. Strange that the miseries of life should be coined into a trade; that the blind eagerness of a starving people, and the dismay of their richer neighbours, should be wrought out into a gainful speculation But what more forcible commen tary could be exhibited than this upon the two antagonist lines of policy which have been taken in two states of the same empire —a policy which has in one given to unexpected or unmerited poverty a perpetual lien upon consenting pro perty, and, in the other, has left it to the casual support of voluntary benevolence or the dangerouse license of an exact• ing mendicity? With such a state of things as this before their eyes, is it wonderful that Englishmen should look with feelings of curiosity, not wholly unmixed with jealousy, to the Ministerial plan of poor relief for Ireland? Is it, wonderful that theyshould demand an equitable adjustment between property and its obligees in every part of the empire? Is it wonderful that they should insist on giving to the Irish the same privileges which are enjoyed by the English peasant? That they should expect a country which has a gross rental arising from land to the amount of 12,000,0001. a year to burden itself for the support of its impotent poor ;—that they should demand of its aristocracy such a provisien as shall effectually mitigate the recurrence of a visitation like the present, and effectually prevent the shameful degradation implied in their wholesale appeal for alms to the charities of the more pro • vident people? And is it strange too, that, when they cal culate the awful effects which a repetition of such misma nagement and of such consequences must infallibly produce on a population of eight million beings, and of the baneful influence it must have upon English prosperity and English tranquillity—is it strange that they should watch with jealous scrutiny the policy of the Minister and the attempts made by the more powerful Irish interests to obstruct him in carrying out a policy, which past history and present emer gency prove to be necessary for the security of England and the prosperity Of Ireland? CHRONICLE.—One whose faithful performunce of his own duties as an owner of land, not less than his high per sonal character and honourable public services, gives value to his praise, said lately of the Irish landlords, in their present difficulties, that " they had conducted themselves in a manner which reflected the highest honour upon them." These are startling words. Our respect for any opinion coming from the Marquis of Lansdowne obliges us to con ,s.der whether we, and the English public generally, may ,not have done the Irish landlords some injustice. The Noble Marquis confined his remark to the " present trying circumstances." We shall keep within the same narrow limits. Let us try to forget, though but for a moment, that long and shameful history of past neglect and mis conduct which has no apologist. What hare the Irish landlords done, under the pressure of the present calamity, to entitle them to such eulogy fyoin an English statesman ? Let us try them fairly. An objection meets us on the threshold—" You must not judge of them by an English standard. They are poor and embarressed ; disabled from acting in concert by the prevalence of absentee ism. They have to deal with a peasantry wretched and helpless to a degree unknown in England ; and there is not, as in England, a middle class to share their efforts or their burdens. It would be most unfair to try them by an English standard." Be it so. We will not try them by an English standard. But there is a class with whom they may be fairly compared. The Western Highlands of Scotland are inhabited by a peasantry similar to those of Ireland. Potato food, want of a middle class, impoverished and absentee landlords, are facts common to the two coun tries. Will the conduct of the Irish proprietors, in the pre sent trying circumstances, bear comparison with that of their Scottish brethren? In the course of last session an Act was ' passed authorising loans o f mon ey to landlords for drainage. 'ly e s ay nothing now of the policy of that Act. But when the first indication of famine appeared, the Scotch landlords proceeded to avail themselves of the means thus afforded for employing the peasantry. With what result? Sir George Grey tells us that they have hitherto got through their difficulties with comparative success. Only two deaths have taken place from starvation. There has been no waste, no ne glect of tillage, no demoralization of men working in gangs upon the roads, Leok to Ireland. An Act was passed autho rising each barony to employ the poor who could not find private work, the whole of the necessary funds to be ad vanced in the first instance by the Treasury. Lord *Chu Russell declared its object to be to stimulate private employ ment. Precautions, which anywhere but in Ireland would have been successful, were taken with this view. The public wages were to be fixed at a lower rate than private wages. Public works were not even to be set on foot where private and profitable employment could be found for the poor. At the same time the landlords, like those of Scotland, were enabled by the Drainage Act to afford such employment. How did they act? With one accord they flung aside the Drainage Act, and pat men by thousands upon the roach, to be paid by the Treasury. It is now perfectly evident that this reckless waste of public money was incurred in the belief that they would never be called upon to repay it. Loans under the Drainage Act they knew must be repaid, but with respect to advances for public works Sir David Roach blurted out the truth at aLimerick meeting :—" They say we shall never be asked for all this money we are getting.' It was a good opportunity of easing John Bull of his superfluous cash. While this reckless system was going on, the land lords began to cry out more and more loudly against the un profitableness of what they were doing. The Government was charged with producing all the evil, because it was said that the landlords of a whole barony could not act together to find profitable employment. The Government. to take away all excuse, literally suspended the law, and enabled the landlords of a single electoral division to act together. But it annexed conditions which would have secured repay ment of the public advances. There was a momentary pause. The clamour then broke out afresh. The new plan was de clared to be as bad as the old. The Government was abused, and the money was drawn out of the Exchequer in fresh goods to be wasted on the roads. From first to last the ten iency of the course taken by the landlords was to relieve them selves from every burden, and to cast the whole weight of alleviating the public distress in one crushing mass upon the shoulders of the Government. When we look to the present frightful condition of Ireland when we see millions of money expended in destroying the habits of the people, in teaching them to look to Government, and not to themselves, for support, in familiarising them with pauperism and strengthening their tendency to combina tions—when we see under the form of law the dissolution of society itself advancing with rapid strides, we are compelled to ask the Marquis of Lansdowne with the utmost respect— If the landlords have so acted as to reflect honour on them selves, whose misconduct is it that has brought about these gigantic evils? Who are " the architects of ruin ?" We cannot even imagine a defence of the Irish landlords as a class which would not convict the Government of the most unpardonable folly and incapacity. We are satisfied that the Government is open to no such imputation. lk htever ex perience it had of Irish landlords, it could not anticipate, in a time of public calamity , the rec kless neglect of all their duties which they have exhibited. With English landlords or Scotch landlords the measu res which the Government adopted would have worked as they were intended to work, and even if they had defects , p rivate ant, voluntary zeal would have made up for toem. They failed and were turned to mischief in Ireland simply as every other reform has been and will be perverted which is made dependent for its working upon a class proved to be incorrigible. What ever• I S to be due for the regeneration o f Ireland must not be done by or through the !audlords. The experiment has been tried to o often without success to be now rep: at ed. A differ ent and a surer basis rust be found for legislation in the pea santry themselves.

Yet the mine, and the railway, and the harvest field of Englard show that there are motives which can incite him to strenuous labour. Why not try upon this singular people, whom English Go vernments have hitherto found so wayward, and English employers so docile, the virtue of a system which, whatever be its faults, has the one uniform result, wherever it has been established, of inspiring men with a spirit of indefatigable industry? Now 'that an extraordinary emergency authorizes and necessitates a great refurm, and when the existence of extensive improvable and long-neglected wastes present the i n , la u t e ts n , ce why h to o L a o r u u l d p o not t h t e h e d a a s s e i d o occasion o b c e i a taken lsystem t bring o of a Ireland n e w ? There is but one obstacle in the way of so great a good. That obstacle is—the Irish landlords. CAMBERWELL-HOUSE LUNATIC ASYLUM. In consequence of the want of room and proper accommo dation for lunatics in the workhouses of the metropolis, and throughout the country generally, the above establishment, standing upon ten acres of ground, tastefully fitted up, was licensed and opened about twelve months since, for the recep tion of pauper lunatics, for whom the several parishes_ pay so much per week for th e ir k e ep, clothing, &c. The asylum is built for 300 patients, male and female, and there are already 270 within its walls, under the care of Mr. J. 11. Paul, the resident medical superintendent, and Mr.J. F. Reece, resident surgeon, exclusive of Dr. Dickson, the visiting physician. The system of treatment is quite opposed to that severe restraint to which lunatics were formerly subjected, and which, instead of abating, aggravated, and often confirmed permanently, the fearful malady of its sufferers. In Camber well-House, mildness, kind treatment, generous living, and the abolition, as much as possible, of all personal or bodily restraint, are the means adopted, and most successfully, to compose and Booth its afflicted patients, and to restore reason to its throne. During the day the patients are allowed to roam at pleasure, under the supervision of well-disciplined keepers, throughout the extensive grounds, and when fatigued from exercise, or if they wish it, they have large spacious halls, to which they may retire and enjoy themselves as their whims suggest. In the men's day-room there is a large billiard-table, and in the women's room a bagatelle-board, with which they amuse themselves. Besides which there is a library well stocked with general and popular literature, and the several newspapers, but from the latter the slightest allusion to suicide is cut out, lest it might suggest the idea of self-destruction. Once a week, during the last few months, the patients have had a dance, in which the males and fe males joined, one of their companions playing the violin, which he does remarkably well. The dance is invariably conducted in the presence of the medical officers, or of Mr. Gibson, the steward. This amusement had such beneficial effects upon the inmates, that the heads of the asylum re solved to give them a public ball and supper, which they did on Thursday last. On that occasion the gentry of the neigh bourhood were invited to attend. The hall in which the ball came off was most tastefully festooned with flags, banners, artificial flowers, &c. At one end, and over the orchestra, was a likeness of her Majesty, with a tastefully decorated crown suspended above, and encircled with a scroll inscribed with the words, " Long may she live." The floor was hand somely chalked by the patients, who described upon it the royal arms, those of the Prince of Wales surmounted by the plume of feathers, and several other national devices. Shortly after seven o'clock the ball-room was opened to visitors, and at half-past seven the inmates, male and female, headed by the medical officers, and accompanied by their keepers, entered the room, and, having taken their seats, the musicians commenced playing the most enlivening airs, which afforded great delight to, the patients, who evinced their pleasure by their gestures and their beating time to the music with their feet. The visitors and patients then par too{r of coffee together. Th e l atter were not only ex ceedingly. mild in their d emeanour , b ut j o i ned with the greatest earnestness in the general conversation of the evening ; and this, although there were amongst them men and women who were the most violent when they first entered the asylum, and some, who had even several times attempted suicide. Coffee over, the dance commenced, in which the medical gen tlemen and their ladies, and the visitors, had, as their partners, the patients. The correctness with which the in mates went through the several figures, and the mazes of the dance, was truly extraordinary. Having indulged in the amusement to a very late hour, supper was served up to the visitors and the patients, who, having done ample justice to the good things provided for them, the latter re tired to their apartments, highly delighted with the plea sures in which they had participated, and with countenances beaming with gratitude to those who so kindly afforded them an opportunity of enjoying themselves. The visitors were astonished at the pleasing spectacle which they had witnessed, and expressed an ardent wish that they would soon again enjoy a similar exhibition. Dr. Dickson and Mr. Paul assured them that they would, as they were fully con vinced that nothing was so eminently calculated to restore their afflicted patients to their senses and society, than such indulgences and relaxations. What a contrast to the bolts, the bars, the chains, and corporal punishment which were formerly resorted to, for the purpose of frightening (that must have been the object), insanity out of lunatics, although bitter and melancholy experience proved that such an iron-and-chain sytem had quite the opposite effect.— _Dispatch.

KINGSTON MARKETS. (From De Cordora's Mercantile Inteiligencer.) No transactions of a speculative tendency have been in duced by the approach of the Christmas holidays, and the market has been most unusually quiet for the period of the year. This inactivity is attributable to the disinclination of dealers to purchase largely now, when it is confidently ex pected that the supplies will in a short time be considerably increased, and prices must consequently fall. This remark, however, applies more directly to flour than to any other ar ticle, as, if we except rice and pork, it is the only staple of which there is at present any quantity in stock. The ar ticles in most demand are butter, lard, hams, cheese, bread, cod oil, pigs' tongues, herrings, alewives, candles, and meal, in which there is no doubt a good business could be dune. were the supplies at all adequate to the demand. .+►r e may notice that the retail trade is very buoyant. as it always is at this season, but .it is checked in a great mea sure by the scarcity of most of the articles of every day's consumption.

Gd. to 20s. per 1001bs. ; but the market is badly supplied with the better sorts, which are worth. and would realize, from 221. to 255. per 100Ibs. The accounts from the manufacturing districts report very favour ably of the prospects of the 1847 crop, and it is expected that there will be larger" taking off" than there has bee for some years past. It is impossible, however, to hazard Sn opinion as to the probable quantity which will be actually manufactured. In some parishes it is rumoured that the al most hopeless competition which he has before him will induce the planter rather to permit the canes to perish in the earth than yet further to risk his limited means in attempts to overcome the difficulties by which he is surrounded. Eng lish double refined may be quoted at 90s. per 1001bs. for small loaves. Rum is worth 4s. 3d. to 4s. 4d. per gallon. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

BlorrisToN, SUNDAY, THREE P.M.—We have had a heavy gale raging from the south to south-west, but the ship has not received any further injury. She is now so far in that there is not more than 2% feet of water in her. She drew 17 feet when she struck, but the pilots expect there will not at the spring tides be more than seven feet where she sits. The rocks outside break the sea, so that it has very little effect on her. She sits quite upright, and a stranger not aware of what had happened, would not take her for a wreck. The men saving her stores, &c., walk to and from her at low water; indeed there is no other means of ap proach either from this wild sea or shore, for the rocks on one side and the cliffs on the other. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sza,—A paragraph which appears in The Sun of the 12th instant, under the head of police-office, Lambeth, stating that "on Monday, John Jame, a young fellow, whose friends were said to be highlespectable, his father being harrack-master at C or k," bc ., &c., having been brought under the notice of the widow of the officer therein referred to as his parent, I, at her request, beg you will con tradict so much of the assertion as stated "John Jones" to be a son of the barrack-master at Cork, such being incorrect, the only son of that lamented officer being at present in the East Indies, where he has served for the last five years with one of her Majesty's regiments. Your attention to this will oblige, your obedient servant, JOHN MULLEN, Captain and Staff Officer of Pensioners. 26, Lynedoch-street, Glasgow, Jan. 22, 1847. BEITISU AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE.—The opening soiree of the season was given last Friday evening, at the rooms of this society, which were as crowded as usual with an elegant and fashionable assemblage—Madame Dulcken Mr. Muhlenfeldt, Mr. Blagrove, Mr. Goffrie, Mr. Goodbere: Miss Birch, Miss Rainforth, Miss Dolby, Miss Ransford, Signor Marras, Mr. Manvers, Mr. Machin, Mr. Segui n, Signor and Madame Frederick Lablache, Miss Eliza Birc h, and Miss Messent, contributed many agreeable morceaux in the musical department; after which an exhibition was made of a new life-preserver and life-buoy called the Nautilus, which appears to have these advantages over all p receding ones—namely , greater simplicity, the power of self-inflation, great buoyancy, easy portability, and a structure which pre serves it against the risk of its air being exhausted by punc tures or superficial injury. Mr. Buckingha thud gave an outline sketch of his l a te tour through Italy, including a visit to Herculaneum and Pompeii. He gave also some interest ing details respecting the character and policy of the new Pope, with whom he had enjoyed a long personal interview, and after this he adverted in terms of just eulogium to the genius o f a rising English artist, resident at Rome, Mr. Theed, specimens of whose talent were placed in the draw ing-room for the inspection of the company. The Noble •President of the institute, Lord Devon, was present.

Accounts from Tampico rumour that a large body of Mexican cavalry had been observed in the vicinity. The British ship-of-war-Alarm, Lieutenant Mayo, had ar rived in the port; the captain bad been left indisposed at Vera Cruz. From Rio Grand the accounts merely note the continuance of the moverrienp Consequent upon the changed plan of operations. The 3Y laid 4th Illinois Regiments, the Tenessee Regiment of Cavalry, and other-troops, were_either about to start, or had started, from Matamoras, en route for Tampico rid Moquete. The three regiments together amounted to 1,800 men. Great sickness existed at Mati moras. Several Americans had been murdered on the route to Camargo and Monterey. From the latter place we learn, that on the 12th of December General Taylor would start for Tampico vi(-2 Victoria, with one division of the army and it portion of a brigade. It vriis reported Ulm; General Urrea, with a troop of 6,000 Mexican cavalry, was at Victoria. It was reported, also, that Santa Anna had assembled a force of 28,000 men at San Luis. The chief, it is said : had imprif soned Ampudia, and other officers, on a charge of cowardice; General Wool remained at Parras, and Genered Worth at Saltillo. Mexico had been again the scene of intestine disturbances. The State of Tobasco, resenting the neglect with which the Central Government treated the applications of the depart ment for assistance at the time of Commodore Perry's recent attack upon Tobasco, had issued a pronunciamento dechiring independence. Yucatan, also, was involved in disturbance. Campeachy had pronounced against the reunion of the department with the Central Government. _ _ _ Canadian journals to the 30th of December add nothing to our last accounts. Havannah advices to the 20th of December had been re ceived. They merely state that a Yucatecos steamer had managed to enter the harbour, in the face of the Unite 4 States vessel-of-war cruizing on that ground, by hoistineth4 British fag: ; o COMMERCIAL - INTELLIGENCE. • • Our commercial accounts from New York do not extend to a later date than the 2d inst.:— NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JAN. 2, 2 r.M.—The sales of ashes this week are small, amounting to only 400 bbls. of both de scriptions, including pots at 4 dolls. 68 3 %c. to 4 dolls. 75c., and pearls at 5 dolls. 50c.

A general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, at one o'clock. Salomons, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIIIINAIt stated, that the object of the meeting was to decide upon the course to be pursued with respect to the negotiation now pendingwith the South-Eastern Railway Com pany. The latter company some time since made a proposi tion to purchase the right to make the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company, giving a rental of five and half per cent. on the capital of 600,000/. Much correspondence had arisen upon this proposition, the chief object of which was to se c u re for the South 'Eastern Company the right to operate on the ground south of Dorking. This proposition was met by the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company by a series of resolutions, the object of which was to obtain 4 1 ,i per cents, rental and equal profits afterwards—this to be commuted into a perpetual rent of 51,E per cent. on all the capital expended when the line is completed. The meeting had to decide whether the company should persist in their own demands or allow the proposal of the South-Eastern Company to rule the deed of agreement. Mr. SMALL explained that the company's proposition, if accepted by the South-Eastern, would act unfairly, inasmuch as it would probably give as much as 8 per cent. to those who had bought their shares at a discount. Mr. MawnEaT said that he would rather take a small but certain return from a valid company, like the South-Eastern Company, than endeavour to obt.in 41,4 per cent , and profits beside,when the profits might never be realised. They ought to keep faith with the South-Eastern Company. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors haa endeavoured to keep good faith with the South-Eastern Board, although other offers were open to them. A conversation ensued, in which Mr. Mangles, the chair man, and Mr. 11l awhert took part, the object of which was to show that the directors had been guilty of no negligence in not having sooner brought the negotiation to a conclu sion. Mr. Mangles observed that the cession of the line between Dorking and Reigate would greatly impair the value of the line, for it was intended by the South-Western Company to construct a line from London-bridge, to run on the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate line by Wokingham to Reading, and thus make it the chief route of communication to the west of England for the goods and passengers who would come to London-bridge. Mr. KNIGHT thought that the better plan would be to take the offer of the South-Eastern Company. The CHAIRMAN stated that it was owing to the inatten tion of the South-Eastern Company, in the first instance, that the negotiation had not been sooner concluded. The Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company stood in the pecu liar position of having the whole of their 40,000 shares re gistered without compulsion in a single instance. Mr. BLAKE thought that the proposition of the directors ought to be accepted or declined by the South-Eastern Com pany, within a certaiu time, and that this should be put as an ultimatum. The CHAIRMAN stated that all the directors desired was the confidence of the shareholders, and they would carry out the resolution satisfactorily. After some further conversa tion, he put it to the meeting, and while the show of hands was being taken Mr. MARBERT rose to move an amendment; which, after much dispute, was put to the meeting and lost. Tue original resolution, that the directors be empowered to act upon their own resolutions, was then carried, and the meeting separated. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON.
