Little intelligence of import Overland Bombs Mail and that very us by th e y , paucity o facts is consolatory, inasmu c h as iti s an assurance th a t our Oriental possessions and the adj acent territo ries still continue in an unusual state of tranquillity. As in Europe, t he weather in the A s i atic count r i es i s of remarkable magnificence, and promi ses not merely an abundant, but a very forward crop. In Sinde an has been rendered apparen t extraordinary necessity by the propitious character of the climate, namely, it has been found since our occupation of that splendid province, that its soil, though naturally most prolific, is in a great measure unproductive, from the total lack of irrigation. A n ,, ce,sity of this description, how ever, is less calculated to baffle the enterprise of a;fri eulturists than any inh e rent poverty in the land, see ing that the application of a comparatively trifling amount of ingenuity will remove the difilcuity which at present retards vegetation. l`bluch Las undoubt edly been acconiplished already fur the purpose of Putting Sinde to our advantage since its original conquest, but much—very much—of a physical and lof a tnotal kiLid re►uains to be done to direct the treasures of the land in such a channel as may con duct them to the treasury-chests of the Anglo- Indian Government. In spite of calumny and misrepresentation, this truth is at length being recog nised, and measures are being adopted one after another to elicit the innate wealth of our newly-ac quired possessions. If the same rational course be pursued for only a reasonable period the conse quences must be most beneficial to ourselves, and must likewise vindicate the judgment. and discernment of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, both as a puissant captain and as a wise administrator. Among other arrange ments recertly made for the improvement of Sinde, we observed that a sum of five thousand pounds has been appropriated by the Government for the erec tion ofachurch at Kurrachee ; and besides this a grant of an additional six hundred pounds, subscribed par tially by Government and partially by individual patrons, is to be collected for the establishment of seminaries at Hyderabad. Having done thus much for the moral and intellectual tuition of the inha bitants of Sinde, surely it is but reasonable to ex pect that something will be done for the irrigation of the fruitful but parched soil cf the fields of Sinde. Government and individual enterprise must undoubt edly be directed in this quarter, considering that that enterprise would necessarily be mutually pro fitable. Considerable interest is attached to the dispatches received from Bombay, from the circumstance of their containing the announcement of the rumoured return homewards of Lord HARDINGE in October next, and the consequent elevation of the hero of Aleeanee, Sir CH4RLES NAPIER, to the Corn mander-in-Chiefship on the expiration of Lord Gotta n's term of five years' service, on the Bth of March, 1848. It is needless to remark that such an appointment would be most judicious, and most calculated to enhance the position of our Oriental forces, and to sustain the distinguished character already acquired by the regular and Se pov troops, both in regard to discipline and bravery Besides the changes in anticipation, there are others that have already taken place, such, for example, as the departure of Sir Jolts LITTLER from Lahore to Jullundur. The monetary transactions at Bunnoo and Tauk appear to have been carried to a satisfac tory settlement by the intervention of Lieutenant Enwaans, and there is now little prospect of the recurrence of the involvements formerly prevalent at Hazereh. While excitement and insubordination still prevail in the &minions of the Nizam, and likewise at Lucknow, Goomsoor has happily lapsed into quiescence. Various occurrences have, in the midst of the ge neral tranquillity, agitated the public mind with ap prehensions. Of these, perhaps, the most singular arose from the descent of the armaments of Candahar through the Bolan Pass. After pocketing some where about thirty-five thousand pounds sterling, by way of tribute, these formidable visitors retired Ly the road taken upon their advent without creating any disturbances whatever. Another source of anxiety has been the pillage recently com mitted in the Rajpootana states, and the remaining cause, the systematic plundering effected by an organized body of promoters of larceny, very expressively termed the " Bombay Bunder Gang." Despite these petty reasons for disquietude, however, it is unquestionable that our Asiatic possessions have been latterly blessed with an almost unparalleled duration of peace. From peace, be it also remem bered, those possessions can alone hope to secure the happiness of the population and the full development of the national resources. Peace is likewise the surety of the permanence of British influence in the sur rounding territories, besides being the readiest means of ensuring the extension of civilisation among a bar barous race, and the ultimate obliteration of an idola trous creed by the divine and benign principles incul cated by Christianity. The political catechism on Monday evening, in the House of Commons, in reference to the present posture of affairs in Portugal ran to an unusual length. Nor is this to be wondered at. The publication in the French papers of the protocol, signed in London on the 21st ult. by the repre sentativeto .of Great • 43ritain, France, Spain,' and Portngal; . and 'Which appeared in the English . tigers on Monday, rendered it an imperative duty Upen those who, as far as their own private information and judgment could lead them, considered our policy in regard to Portugal to be objectionable, to press the Government in every way to afford them the earliest opportunity of discussing this most important question in the House of Commons. Had this pro tocol not 'seen published, it would have been open to our Executive, in accordance with established prece dents, to have delayed the production of any official documents touching the vexata queestio till their views had been consummated, or pending any negotiations which , were likely to spring afresh from the opera tions they had determined upon adopting for termi nating the internecine war in Portugal. As a general rule such a course is entitled to approval, and, ordi narily, Parliament has always been contented, at the mere dictum of the Minister that it would be detri mental to the public service, not to urge prematurely the production of written or oral communications of transeticr.s involving she chinces of war. Were this practice not to be suffered to prevail, the energy which it is oftentimes so necessary to display in the conduct of international affairs would be seriously compro mised. There are many matters that would entirely fail of successful prosecution without the advantage of temporary s. cresy, and which can only be main tained by confining the conduct of them to a very limited number of the sworn and responsible advisers of the Crown. In the case before us the matter is altogether different. Lord PALMERSTON admits the protocol, as transmitted to us through the French journals, to be a faithful translation, and that instru ment establishes the fact that an armed inter vention has been concerted between ourselves, ante, and Spain, in order to resist the Junta in Portugal; and tlsere can be little doubt but that, by virtue of this united agreement between the Powers, the people, who have in so ex traordinary a manner gained the upper hand over a SOVEREIGN by whom their constitutional rights have been so insanely infringed, are already involved in increased confusion, and, it may be, bloodshed. When it is borne in mini how much we prize the blessings of liberty, and how our own history tells us that our ancestors only realised them for us by a stern and patriotic resistance to the acts and galling sway of despotism, it is evident that English men will consider with extreme jealousy the question whether Ministers are justified in taking what is described by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs "as an exceptional course." Portugal is our most ancient ally, and the force of circumstances Should be strong indeed to overcome the natural re luctance with which this country would view any vio lent intervention, on our part, in the civil affairs of Por tugal. Taken alone, the protocol does not appear to us to justify the present proceedings; but when the same shall come to be regarded in connexion with the other papers, which are to be laid before Parliament with all possible dispatch, this impression may be completely varied. Of this the Premier is thoroughly convinced. Lord J. RUSSELL observedlon Monday night, that " the more the case was known and the better the facts were as- certained, the better the stand on which her MA JESTY'S Government had to rely, ar.d he also ex pressed his hope that the House would not come to any opinion on this subject without knowing, not only what hid taken place between the Queen of Pox- TUGAL and her subjects, but also what had taken place in reference to the appeals which had been made by the QUEEN to (Aber power..., and the offers of other power s to interfere in the affairs of Portugal—without "owing, in short. the whole hic:tory of those trans actions'• All must concur in the reasonableness of these remarks. This interesting subjf-ct will probably come under discussion on Friday next. IThe Poor 11 elieT h i c rel and) has at length passed both 1-I..wes. ( it, as altered by the Lords, with have accepted aivseotoheir ac slight excep tions, and have even consented to waive ledged and highly-priv , d privilege know an r i s k the safety of a measure of such vital it:pl.otrhtance to our starving - brethren in the sister kingdoms and t o our own over- taxed and over-burdened countrym en , who readily consented to support from the profit4o£ their toils and labours those who were still more I destitute than themselves, and who had no legislative I title to a maintenance from the land of their birth. It may be considered by many that the representa tives of the people were wrong in giving way, even in the most trifling degree, on a point in which they were supported by the entire sympathies of the country, in for a moment permitting their most valued privilege—that privilege to which they owe their real power and supremacy—to be interfered with. It is quite manifest that the opinion of the House is in accordance with that of the public, and in opposi tion to the amendment by which the area of taxation was altered. Every one whose opinion carried with it the slightest weight protested against the change, and the clearest indications were afforded that the landlords, for whose especial benefit the substitution was effected, will have only a temporary triumph to boast of, that one of the earliest acts of the ensuing session will be to provide a remedy for the mischiefs and grievances occasioned by the present statute, and which, ere that period, will be fully apparent. The proposition originally brought forward in the vain hope of conciliating the landlord party did not afford sufficient protection for the people. The temptation held out for the clearance system, and the power to carry it into execution, was far too great, even before the Lords had further impaired the efficiency of the measure. By the iniquitous " quarter acre' clause the proprietors of the soil were enabled to drive the cottiers from their wretched tenements. By withholding and inducing the neighbouring squires to withhold employment, they could force the industrious and able bodied pauper to apply for assistance, and he should surrender his holding before he could obtain the neces sary relief. That aid for which he was forced to bar ter the only spot he could call his own was not of a permanent character—it could only be granted for a limited time, when certain preliminaries had been complied with, and on its cessation he would be forced to seek refuge in the neighbouring towns and villages, and thus add to the mass of pauperism, of want, and disease, by which they are crowded. The means are thus given to effect clearances, while the temptation to do so is increased by the fact that, in a certain fixed time, the district from which the paupers have been removed will be freed from all liability as to their future support. 'What will be the result we leave those best acqaainted with Irish land lords to pronounce. We feel confident that before the next session of Parliament scenes will be enacted of the most heartrending description, a frightful quantity of individual misery will be occasioned. The burden of supporting the destitute poor, which, under any circumstances must be sufficiently onerous, will be greatly increased. The owners of land in many parts of the country will be enabled, for a few months longer, to evade a portion of their duty; while the inhabitants of towns, unable to discharge the rates assessed upon them, will be compelled again to seek assistance from the national purse. That assistance will be granted at a cost of a few additional millions, and then, at length, a measure will be brought for ward of a much more stringent character, which will cause the landowners to regret the temporary success of their intrigues and exertions in the Lords to weaken and impair the Bill sent up from the Lower House. In another part of this day's paper will be found an interesting account of the election of annuitants on the BENEVOLENT FUND of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION, which took place on Monday, at the London Tavern. We have often recorded the pro -1 ceedings of this excelle n t assoc i a ti on , an d f ee l t h at on 1 each occasion we are called upon to increase our meed of praise, because daily experience proves that the more the advantages of this society are known the more they must be appreciated, and that the board of managers do not content themselves with mere empty promises, but use their utmost energies to carry into full effect the powers with which they are invested. As we predicted, the Provident Clerks' Association, from its constitution and the men who are at the helm of affairs, must make headway, and become one of the first associa tions in this great commercial country ; so, we are happy to say, that we have not been wrong in our prognostication, the advances 'in public favour, the great accession of members, the'manner in which its benefits are dispensed (at onceliberally, and without any ostentation, the regard paid to the feelings of tbe recipients—we allude particularly to the fact of initials, not names in full, being given), cannot fail to at once command the well wishes and approval of all who desire to be prudent and raise the national standard of moral, physical, and social zdvantage. Our report of Monday's pro ceedings will be read with much interest. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following, dated Constantinople, 14th inst.:— " The official journal of yesterday announces that the Greek Cabinet has at length determined to yield, and that M. Coletti, after having received from M. Persiani a communication of the last note from the Russian Cabinet, promised him not to throw any further obstacle in the way of the settlement of the differences between the two countries. The Emperor has learned with regret the offence which has been given to the Turkish representative ; he approves the conduct of M. Mussu rus, and blames that of M. Colrtti. The Greek Cabinet ought at once, by a frank explanation, to give the satis faction demanded by the Porte, and not complicate the ..tLor in a manlier injurious to the dignity of King litho. M. Coletti, adds the Emperor in the note, instead of adcUng nny difficulty to the foreign relations of Greece, w ,, ulti do better to apply himself to remedying the evils of the country by a better administration of affiirs. The Czar approves the conduct of his representatives in Tur key and in Greece, and gives instruction to them to press the Greek Cabinet to give without delay the re quired satisfaction to the Porte, as the only means of putting an end to the existing state of things: Madrid papers of the 25th ult. have arrived. The QUEEN arrived in Madrid on the 24th, from Aranjuez. The KING continues at the Prado. Rumours were circulated of another Ministerial crisis. The Duke of SOTOMATOR or the Marquis of MIRAFLORES were spoken of as the probable chiefs of the new Cabinet. Senor OLOZAGA, on his last inter view, had, it is said, been coldly received by the QUEEN. Dispatches had been received announcing the con clusion of the treaty for the pacification of Portugal, and General MANUEL CONCHA left Madrid on the 25th for Zamora, to take command of the army. He had orders, it is believed, to enter Portugal. MADAN) BOLS.A, MAY 25.—The Three per Cents. were done at 29% for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 18 3 / 4 ; the Five per Cents. at 18%; the Debt without Interest at 5%; and the Coupons at 16. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. It is considered that the Ministers will be compelled at last to resort to a loan to cover the deficit. The Union Monarchique says— "lt was reported on the Paris Bourse, on Saturday, that the Government had resolved, at a Cabinet Council held the day before, to contract shortly a loan of 300,000 000. We have ascertained, from an authentic source, that a financial deliberation actually took place in the Cabinet on that day, and that it was agreed to present to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law to the effect of extending the amount of the royal bonds in circulation from 210,000,000, thelsum set down in the estimates, to 275,000,000, in order to compel the Budget Committee to propose the negotiation of a loan, of which the Government has recognised the necessity." A project of law to that effect was presented to the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. The Chamber of Peers adopted on the same day ;he Secret Service Money Bill, by a majority of 112 ;o 22. The Minister of Public Worship announced his intention of laying before the Chamber of Deputies the St. Denis Chapter Bill. Upon this measure it is considered as not improbable that the Ministry may be defeated. M. DUCHATEL, upon the plea of illness, keeps himself totally secluded from his colleagues and the Chamber. This is looked on as ominous. M. DucuATEL's indispositions are generally followed by a Ministerial crisis. The Union Monarchique states that Count BEESSON goes as Ambassador to Naples, and that the Prince DE BROGLIE %%ill not accompany his father to Lon don, an illustrious personage having insisted on the Count DE JARNAC remaining. The Constitutionnel states that a circular has been addressed to the prefects, directing them to slacken the public works in course of excution in their re spective departments. " Every day," says the Con stitutionnel, " brings us a new avowal, on the part of the Ministry, of the numerous faults that it has com mitted in th e a d m i n i stration of pu b l i c wor k s , an d i n the fina nces o f t h e State.

(From The Sun of Last Night.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales, 6,500 bales, including 1,(,00 bales American for export, and 1,000 on specula lion. There was no excitement, but the market closed well, and American descriptions were V. per lb. higher. All other soils were at extreme rates. In the quantity sold there are included 5,000 bales of American, at 6d. to 7 1 d. per lb. A large business was done in Railway Shares, with a good demand up to the close of the market. The Share Market was hardly so brisk to-day; but at the sale of Railway Shares, by Messrs. Lamond and Co.. prices were steady. The following are a few of the principal sales : Manchester and Southampton £0 11 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 1 10 6 Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham North Staffordshire Sambre and Meuse Windsor, Staines, and South-Western..... 2 17 0 Great Northern .. •• South Yorkshire, Doncaster, and Goole London and Manchester (Remington'a) 0 5 0 Reading, Guildford, and Reigate .. 5 2 6 Eastern Counties ... ......, Eastern Counties. York Extension......... 6 11 0 South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 5 2 0 South Staffordshire Louvain ala Sambre 1 0 0 The advices received by the Overland mail are in general much of the same tenour as those pre viously come to hand. The demand for our manufactures was but limited, and it is stated that at,talcutta the Ame ricans were the most active buyers of Ilidian produce. Tbis is some proof of the prosperity of ;American industry and commerce. The demand foe Indigo was fair, and it is now mentioned that the weather had become more favourable for the crops. It appears that in the private letters from the United States, there is some difference of opinion as to the extent of the food exports, but, although immediately after the winter breaking up, the American cities on the seaboard may themselves need supplies, few doubt but that in a short time there will be large quantities from the interior. The Funds have gone back to-day, and are about 1 / 2 per cent, under the rates of yesterday. There have been a few sales, and one or two influential brokers have ope rated, although a great many parties who deal habitually are absent at the races. Consols have realised 88 to v s for Money, and 88% % for Account. Exchequer -bills have been quoted Is. to 4s. pre mium, with more doing in them. East India Bonds have realised 2s. premium to 2s. discount. Bank Stock main tains itself at the high value of 194 1 / 2 to 196. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 88% to 88%. The Foreign Bonds have been dull again. Portuguese Four per Cents, are quoted 33, Spanish Three per Cents 34, and Brazilian 82% to 83%. Mexican Bonds were marked 20. Russian Stock was quoted 109% to 110%. Dutch Two-and.a-Half per Cents. have been 58 1 /i. The market for Railway Shares has been rather less ani mated than yesterday ; but holders generally obtain full prices. There are a good many calls in course of payment to-day, including the Paris and Strasburg, the Northern of France, &c., and this, no doubt, checks business, and temporarily occasions some demand for cash, although, upon completion, matters may stand better than e7er. This altogether is a heavy month, as the railway calls fall ing due amount to upwards o 1 2,800,0001., besides which we have the fourth of the month to provide tor. All this time, however, we are getting nearer harvest, and with splendid prospects. iIItITISLI FUNDS. ONE O'CLOCK• •• •• 196 194% CLOSIM= PRIDES. 194 Bank Stock Three per Cent.

He was immediately temoved to the hospital, in a senseless state, where, upon examination, it was discovered that he had f-ighttully mutilated a delicate part of his person with a sharp instrument. No reason can be assigned tor the act, which was committed at the mim's own resi dence, except that he appeared to have been drinking freely. The unfortunate man is lying in a hopeless condition. MURDER AT KIDDIiRMINSTER.—SUNDAY, MAT 30. —A dreadful murdtr was committed in this town about two o'clock this morning, on a brewer named Phillpotts. The murderer is a journeyman ironmonger named Lloyd, in he employ of Messrs. Welch and Sous. The deceased and re soner had been drinking at several public-houses, and ad quarrelled. When they were going home, at the time ab ve stated, and Lloyd was at his door, he aimed a blow at ?hill potts with a clasp-knife, severing th e windpipe. Mr. Brad ley, surgeon, was immediately in attendance, but life was extinct.

WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENT ON aHE ouNGS OF THE E [TRICK SIIEPiIERD. On Monday, at the --"-'- Mu,ic dell, :etorcestre et, Mr. Wilson gave a selection from the songs of Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, for the first time in London, and we do not recollect ever being more charmed with any selection. Everybody in the H4ll seemed to he of the same mind, for the songs were all received with greet enthusiasm, and many of them demanded a second time. There is abundance of variety in the selection of songs, which, by the-by, Wilson always attends especially to, and wherein lies, apert from his exquisite interpretation of the poets or his native land, much of the charm of his entertain ment. We had songs of war, lays of love, laments, and lilts of humour. Hogg, as Wilson remarked, might be termed the poet of the Jacobites, for to him we are in debted for many spirited translations from the Gaelic :Jacobite songs, and those in the present selection are likely to become as popular as the e Wha wadna fecht for Charlie ?" " Cam ye by Atholl?" " Flora Mac donald's Lament," &c. What could be more spirited and effective than "Come o'er the stream, Charlie," as given by Wilson? How quaintly, too, he gave Bauidie Frazer's account of the Battle of Culloden! and as a contrast nothing could be more touching than the Lament of the Highland maid after the battle of Cul loden, while she is sitting weeping over a bloody plaid, the only relic of her slain lover, beginning " Why weeps yon Highland Maid?" The melody of this is very old, and is sweetly wild and pathetic, 1)) eathing moat melan cholily the sentiment of the poetry. Another of this description is the Lament of the Stuarts of Appin, truly a noble song, with most appropriate and exquisite music. The extent of compass i‘f some of these met , dies renders them difficult to be swig but by sudh a voice as Wilson's. The m e l o dy of "'!he Stuarts of Appin" ranges two octaves. The description of the border foray, with the illiterative title " Lock the door, Lariston," was extremely effective, and but for its length and the number of songs Mr. Wilson had to sing, would have been insisted on a second time. The popular song of " When the kye come name," was also deliciously rendered, and merited the encor it re ceived. But last, though not least, we come to the gem of the evening, " The Skylark." This concluded the first part, was rapturously encored, and nearly de manded a third time. The poetry, beginning " Bird of the wilderness," is extremely beautiful, and the melody most appropriately suited to it. The chirrups of the lark, in the symphonies and accompaniments, added much to the effect. This song created quite a furore. "There were many distinguished persons present, all of whom seemed delighted with the efforts of the minstrel, and we would sugge.t to Wilson a repetition of the songs of the Ettrick Shepherd, on an early occasion, as being likely to be the most attractive he could give ; and one requires to hear such songs twice at least to get familiar with them. There could not be a better proof of the audience being delighted, than their encoring the last song in the programme, and not one person left the room till ever) thing was finished. How different is this from concerts generally ! Many persone, who do not like to leave their own homes in the evening, will be glad to learn that Mr. Wilson is to give one morn ing performance in Willis's Rooms, St. James's, next Friday. MADRAS RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the shareholders in this com pany was held yesterday at the Company's office, 2, Win chester-buildings, Great Winchester-street, City, for the pur pose of receiving a report from the directors; J. A Arbuth not, Esq., President of the Board of Directors, in the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The SICKETAKY read the report, which stated that the present meeting was held in conformity with a resolution passed at the third half•yearly meeting, held on the 18th of February last, and which decided that a meeting should be convened for the purpose of considering the advisability of prock:eding with the operations of the csmpany. It appeared that the negotiation which was stated at the last meeting to be pending between the Government of East India and cer . • tain companies, who had undertaken to construct railways to connect Calcutta with the north-western frontier of the Bengal territories, had not been successful, the terms upon which the concession of the Bengal lines would be granted being too disadvantageous to be accepted ; and a letter, which had been since addressed by the chairman cf the corn pany to the secretary of the court of directors of the East India Company, requesting the decision of the Court, not having been noticed. The report then proceeded to state that the indifference with which this and the preceding nu merous communications of the company by the East India Company were treated was not, in the opalion of the directors, to be ascribed so much to a want of courtesy on the part of the authorities at the East India House, as to their peculiar views of railroads in India. Although no official intimation of the views of the East India Company was made, it was understood that they thought most favourably of the railway from Madras to Arcot, and that they were willing to encourage it by a grant of land and other facilities; but yet, that they were of opi• nion that aid from them in the way of money, or by a gua ranteed dividend, should be confined to one experimental line, and that that line should be in the Bengal Presidency, c,n account of the great political advantages it would afford in facilitating the transit of troops and military stores. Acting upon this view, the E:st India Company had offered terms for the construction of a line or lines to connect Cal cutta with Delhi, a distance of about nine hundred miles, and the estimated cost of which, at 17,0001. per mile, would be 15.295,000/. The directors of the Madras Railway Company thought that such a course would retard the introduction of railways into India by encouraging a line which, although posse-sing some superior political advantages, yet was far in ferior, in commercial advantages, to other lines that might be adopted, and was, moreover, too extensive and costly to be experimental. In consequence of these circumstances the directors recommended the dissolution of the company. The report concluded by stating that the number of shares o* which, the deposit of 2s. per share was paid was 17,405. 'Of these, 8,465 raid the call of 18s.; the hollers of the re maining 8,940 shares were, as the directors understood, strictly liable for their proportion of the preliminary ex penses which had been incurred; but the board did not think it right to recommend the company to adopt legal proceedings for the recovery of these liabilities, and that those who had paid the call of 18s. should receive the sums respectively due to them. The 01.11101 AX said, that in moving the adoption of the report they had just heard, he begged to say that he felt sorry that the directors should have felt bound to make the recom mendation contained in the report. The altered state of the money market must undoubtedly be considered to be the primary cause of the failure of, the project. That cause, however, w-uld not have been altogether fatal, if they had received any assistance from the East India Company. But not only had they not received encouragement from that body, but their project had been seriously affected by the want of any notice of their communications. He did not mean to attribute that to any discourtesy on the part of the directors of the East India Company, but to the effect of that system which prevailed in Leadenhall-street. But of this he was sure, that a very great blunder bad been com mitted by them in trusting their project in the way that had been done, and it would be felt more by the natives of India than by the promoters of the present company. He had been connected for a long time with India, and, in common with the rest of the directors, regretted the failure of their undertaking. He did not know that it was necessary for him to make any further observations, and he would con clude by moving the adoption of the report. Colonel Svms expressed his dissatisfaction at the conduct of the East India Company, and proposed a resolution to the effect that the company should be suspended and not dis solved, which, after a short discussion, was withdrawn. The motion was then earned. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that a sum of 2001., together with the furniture of the offices, should be given as a re muneration to the secretary for his valuable services. Colonel CADOGAN seconded the resolution, which, after some slight discussion, was agreed to. Thanks were then given to the chairman and the other directors, and acknowledged by the former; after which the meeting separated. NORTH-WESTERN RA ILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am informed that arrangements are on the way to lease or purchase the North Western Railway, by some parties unknown to the body of the share• holders; will you be pleased to give insertion to this trickery, in order that the shareholders may not be duped. Why not call a meeting in a proper business way, and then the proprietors are aware what is going ou with their property? Those parties are buying up all the shares at a very low price, and the holders of shares are duped out of half of the money paid up, By inserting this in your valuable pap: r, you will oblige, yours, A CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER. Leeds, May 31, Mi. 7 % Par 11 38 15% 714 EAST SURREY.—Mr. Kemble retires from the re presentation, but Mr. Anttobus will again come forward. Mr. Alc ;ck will, we are informed, supply Mr. Kemble's place without opposition, and the county will thus be spared the trouble, and the candidates the expense, of a contest which would probably have only the same result that is attained by this easy compromise. Airs. Trollope's " Three Cousins" will certainly add to her reputation as a novelist. This equal, if not supe rior to the best of her productions, in those peculiar qualities which have won for her the celebrity which she enjoys. Her own sex she seems to have studied with profound attention, and no living writer so keenly satirises the heartless woman of the world, or so admirably exposes all the elaborate de vices by which artificial manners are made to represent natu ral impulses. Mrs. Cobhurst, for instance, is drawn with ad mirable fidelity. Who has not met with scores of such girlish widows, where the joyous hilarity of sixteen is press e d i n t o the service of thirty-four, in order to cover the matronly in trigues of the latter period of life? We can hardly persuade ourselves that the Bishop of Solway and his wife are not studies from nature.—John ASCOT RACES.—The female complexion has, per haps, no fiercer foe than the summer, with its concomitants of heat and dust. On the drive, the ride, the promenade, or the aquatic excursion, ladies should ever be provided with "Rowland's Kalydor," which will be found gratefully refresh ing to the complexion, dispelling the cloud of langour and relaxation, allaying all irritability and heat, and immediately affording the plea-ing sensation attendant on restored elas ticity and healthful state of the skir. As a protector and preserver of the hair, Rowland's Macassor Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from the injurious operation of the sun and dust. It is necessary to see that the word " Rowland's " precedes the name of the article on the wrapper of each, as spurious imitations of the most dele terious character are abroad. EXETER HALL —Handers Alexander's Feast and Mendelssohn's Wa purgis Night were:performed here on Mon day evening by the members of Mr. Hullah's upper schools, consisting of a force of 500 voices, besides the principals; supportea by Mr. Willy's concert band, strengthened largely for the occasion. The execution of those two fine works was, upon the whole, extremely creditable, the obedience of the troops to the governing baton of Hullah, who conducted, being prompt and accurate—demonstrating the efficiency of the system under which such satisfactory results are elicited. The choruses in the Walpurgis Night are far from being light and trivial duties, even with professionals , their chro matic texture and structural intricacy demanding the best experiences in the art of part singing • but these upper schools" faced th em b o ldl yx and brought out all their pic turesque point s w i t h f e li c i tous crispness and Alto gether, the choral p or ti on of the programme was executed with remarkable skill, a foretaste of which, however, was given in the rec e nt histo r ical concerts, and tempted the public to expect the excellence it now met with. The s.o.ips, an solos were . d at-signed to Mr. blanvers. Miss Birch, Mr. H. Phillips, Zliss Duval—all of whom acquitted themselves with their customary ability. The hall was crowded. THE PROVIDENT k..l,EltKj_i' MU TUAL BENEFI AS6OCIATION AND BENE VOLENT FUND. A special general meeting of the donor!, subscribers, and members to the benevolent fund of this excellent in stitution, was held at twelve o'clock on Monday, May 31, at the London Tavt rn, for the purpose of tts additional annuitants. Thomas Baring, all, M.P., one of the trustees, occupied the chair. The following gentlemen connected with the manege msnt of the institution were present:—air. Richard Henry Jones, Mr. John White Welch, Mr. Jolin Clarke, Mr. A. Dawson, Mr. John James Iselin, Mr. S. Jeppl , Mr. W. J. Jordan, Mr. J. Lintott, Mr. W. Maitland, Mr Richard Price, and Mr. IV. S. Sawtell. Dr. MULLINDER, the secretary, then read the resolu tion agreed to at the annual ge , eral meeting held on the 25th of February last, recommending the election of two additional annuitants, which was to the following effect:— " That on the 31st May next, or such other day as the beard may appeint, due notice of the same being given to the members, a special meeting be held for the purpose of electing two edlitional annuitants, one being a member, the other the widow of a member, duly quali fied according to the rules." Having also read the advertisement convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said—We have met here to-day for the purpose of electing as annuitants one clerk and one widow, the first to an annuity of 251., and the latter to else of 151. F. ur candidates off red th. inselves in the first instance—two clerks and two widows, but one clerk has since withdrawn his name, so that there are now but three candidates. With regard to the two widows, I am authorised to state that both are deserving of your sympathy and support, as both are deprived of their husbands suddenly—both were fearfully sudden deaths, as each left his home in perfect health in the morning, for the purpose of pursuing his usual occupation. Each widow was left with four ehildren, and each was in the family way, but one has since been confined. There can, 'therefore, be no doubt of the strong claim which both those unhappy persons have to the votes and sup port of the subscribers and donors to the fund. I have nothing more to say, except that the poll will be opened at once, and carried forward, in accordance with the rules of the society, until three o'clock, when it will close, and when the result will be announced to you. Mr. RICHARD HENRY JONES, the chairman of the board of management, proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Baring for his kindness in taking the chair. The motion was seconded by Mr. J. W. WELCH, the deputy. chairman of the board, and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN felt much obliged to the meeting for the compliment, and stated that it would always afford him the utmost gratification to be of service to the insti tution —(Cheers.) The chair was then taken by Mr. JONES. who pro po.ed that the following gentlemen should act as scru tineers:—Mr. Jepps, Mr. Lintott, Mr. Maitland, Mr. Price, Mr. Iselin, Mr. Dawson, Mr. Sawtell, Mr. Clarke, and Mr. Welch. The polling was then proceeded with. Th e p o d was el os ee at three o'clock. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. R. 11. Jones), said—Gentle men, befere I declare the result of the poll, I wish make one or two obsertatiens with respect to this election of additional annuitants. When the ma nagers determined to recommend, at the last meet ing, the election of two new annuitants, they laboured under the impression that no one would come Air wave' to offer themselves as candidat s. They, however, went to the extent they fat the funds would then allow, and the result has shown how acceptable •.his resolutien will he to those who may become reci pients of this additional aid. They. however, fuel very deep regret that one of the candidates must be disap pointed or the [resent occasion ; that is inevitable—in fact all must have been prepared for this result before they proceeded to the poll ; but I can assure you that in all our proceedings we are influenced by the same 'eelings which prompted the managers in the first instance to establish this asso nation.--(Hear, hear.) The same feeling of kindness and benevolence with which we set out has be , n kept up by us through out, and aid hes been extended to those who, from sfil e •ion, stand much in need of it, with an unsparing had. Thus a vast amount of suffering and sorrow has been assuaged. The utmost delicacy is exercised in di pens :t.g relief, so that the feelings of the applicants f, r as -Mance in the bums of need, 'and of catalidates for pen sions, are never wounded. The fact of the it requiring aid is kept as secret as possibl a as their names are never eivulged, and their conOition is confined to the knee ledge of the board, who care:lllly investigate into the circumstances of the parties seeking assistance ; and I hope that the course taken on the present occasion in eivieg the initials only, with the condition of the can didate, will secure the approval of the members in general, as it has done of those who are n ,- .w present. Aid in the slope of gratuities is afforded in the same manner, and with one or two ex ceptions the names of the parties relieved have never been reveal. d. I have now nothing more to do than to announce the poll—J. M., the male candidate, is elected as a matter of course. The numbers polled for the femaleS are—S. M. C., 584 ; E. L., 1,128 ; conse quently J. M. and E. L. have been elected—the former to an annuity of 251., and the latter to cne of 151. Dr. MIILLINDER said—Mr. Chairman and brother members, before you leave, perhaps it may not be the least consolatory circumstance in the day's proceedings for you to know something of our past argl present pro gress. It is true you met to-day to elect but two out of four candidates ; but I hope the time is not far distant when there will not be two to four, but four to our— (Cheers)—or, in other words, that we shall be able to afford pensions out of the permanent an nuity fund to every member who may be in a condition to need one. As an evidence that we are pro gressing, or rather reaching that point when we shall be enabled to afford all the aid which may be required, I may state, that in the year 1846 we effected 376 policies; our income was then 4,841/. New 1847 has been tery unpropitious; we have hail aphis vastator in the potatoes; ecu have had a depression in the money market; we have had provisions at an extravagant rate, and I was told not many rights ago, by a brother actuary, that no applica tions had been made to his office tor policies during the previous six weeks. Besides these, we have h• d to deal with public health; b it, notwith tending all these drawbacks, what is the Provident Clerks' Association now doing? Up to the end of April this year we had received 183 policies, anseunthig altogether io 38,6001., but since that period they hate inesessed to 208 policies. amountit g ti au aggrestate of 43.000/., and before the snd of the present year, if even we go on at the same slow drag pace as at present, and I sin sure you will agree whh me that our progress has been hitherto most satisfactory, the income of the assurance 'denartment will be very little short of 10.0001. a year . —(Chsers). Now, when it is recollected that a certain portion of the subscriptions is carried to the benevolent fund, and when the benefits derived from the fund are also duly estimated, I think it is incumbent upon every individual, whether succesaul or unsuecessful in life, to subscribe to the permanent annuity fund, and also to put his shoulder to the wheel, in order that the fund may be still fur her enhanced. This is to be done by your recommending your friends and others to par ticipate in the advantages which it offers, and conse quently to place themselves beyond the reach of abso lute want in the season of adversity, and when old age comes upon them. lui the temporary department we have no difficulth s to contend with —every ease is met ; but stilt it is a matter of congratulation to you to know that you are in a position to go and tell your friends that we are progressing, and progressing well—that we are going on and 11-urishing, and that we only require your active co-operatien and assistancp to enable tne board to meet every case directly it comes be fore them, and to have the satisfaction of saying that they have no disappointed candidates.—(Cheers.) Mr. DARKER thought, before the meeting broke up, that some one should express the satisfaction with which the society viewed the labours of the directors, and of the way itt which they had conducted the election. He, therefore, begged to propose that the thanks of' the meeting be given to the Chairman and directors for their exertions at all times on behalf of the institu tion.—(Che) rs.) Mr. FREED seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. R. H. JONES,thechairman, was extremely happy to find, from the motion which they had adopted, that his conduct and that of the directors had given satisfaction to all present. He concluded, therefore, that thoseilo a t ss p u r r e; sent participated in the same feelings. r he pr i o n - - ceedings to meet the wishes of the me the meeting that they would endeavour (Cheers.) Nothing stitution as they haul hitherto dontz; mi l n l b e earlsi could tohe to know that their could give them greater pleasure proceedings met with that their general that day, and then to at large. endeavours led to such results as they had witnessed the approbation of t The proceedings then terminated.

As rar as its success depend, don sport, the last mesas - ing at Ascot left nothing to desire, for the racing abundant, varied, and excellent, and its attractions tv,re in no slight degree enhanced by the uninterrupted I, leller.s of the weather. Still, and nothing more clearly. •'etnor,stra'es the it»po:tance attached to the presence of riya:ty—the absence of her Majesty caused a falling on' in the company, and, in C.lls, auence a considerable d, fi 'if ney in the receipts at the grand stand as comp ei h ev'ous years. ode! Tee meeting now in progress comme nced , Wlerent and more favourable auspices. It is true that the return to the old plan of confining the As, Stakes to orie class deprived the first day gilds one Of the principal betting races, and that the and the entries generally are not so promising as have known them, but this is compensat ed for by be tog addition of the Windsor Stakes, by which the av e r quantity of racing is likely io be maintaine d. Our imune mi nt, sonie days b.ck, that her Majesty wa ar re. le near the prelit m. t•ting with her companY, n o ceive 1 with gret,it delight by ail classes, and we 'W e ber doubt ihat at the close of the week, should the wes t r. continue fine, it will be in our power it has piss( d off with complete success. The alterat!l; in the vicinity of the Grand Squid, and the prePa rs , s l :ae for the r•e:•ption of the Court, have been 1 111. '4, not:cel. We have, therefore, only to add that the r ed lie t , fice has confirmed the favourable opinion to state _ I L! es e re rolr of them ; in all other respects the arrangem e nts lo om nexion with the racing were distinguished by libe. oos . and good taste, and they were carried out in a husloutea like and satisfactory manner. Having said thus ore of the general prospects of the meeting, we n r iece to state that the promised visit of the Queen, ttl A pelett C-n,ort, and their illustrious visitors, in aurfalione of which a laige and respectable companY was The bled on the heath, took place as annottliee i T ip gal Royal carriages, nine in number, preceded b y ti le. of Granville, Master of the Buckhounds, and a bile Davis, the Queen's Huntsman, and attended few' retinue, made their appearance on the New Mit s .:, the minutes after one o'clock, and proceeded slOwil_.,:ppr was course to the Royal Stand.
