" A bill for making a railway from the London and North-Western Railway, in the parish of Milverton, in the county of Warwick, to Stratford-upon-Avon, in the same county, with branches, to be called the Leamington, War wick, and Stratford-npbn-Avon Railway." The advertisement by which the meeting had been con vened having been read by the secretary, Mr. C. E. Stewart, The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, you have been called together to-day for the purpose of having submitted to you the bills for the various projects which the directors of this company have thought it their duty to prosecute in Parliament, with a view of extending and promotinc , the interests of this great company, and which projects have now passed through the ordeal of an examination in the House of Commons. When I last had the plea sure of meeting you, I told you that I hoped, on the occasion of another meeting, I should be able to give you some information respecting the course which the select committee of the House of Commons had recommended on the subject of the future railway legislation of the country. In that hope I have been disappointed. We are still in the dark with respect to their views as to the past legislation on railway matters, and we are also still in the dark as to their views and opinions of the present system, or of the mode in which it should be amended—that is, providing it has been proved before them in evidence that the system hitherto pursued has been objectionable. The consequence 'of this state of uncertainty has been that we have been obliged to go on as we have heretofore proceeded—we have been compelled to endeavour to fortify ourselves as well as we can—to protect the property that we possess to the utmost extent that the ingenuity of lawyers and the professional skill of engineers would enable us to do. I confess to you that I regret this state of things, for I should have been glad to tell you now that some more definite course of legislation had been chalked out for us by Parliament. I am ready to admit that the directors of this company are fully sensible of the strong dissatis faction that may be, and no doubt is, felt by many pro prietors at the prospect of any large additional expendi ture of capital by this company ; but I can assure you that the directors have not been regardless of such a feeling. On the contrary, they have been exceedingly anxious to consider all the projects originally brought forward this year, in the hope that some of them might be abandoned. Int I assured you at the last meeting that the directors had examined them calmly and deliberately; and that they found it impossible to appear in this room and to recommend to the proprietors that any of them, in that stage of their existence, should be abandoned. In the interim that has elapsed the directors have not had their anxiety in any way diminished in reference to these bills ; they have watched with sedulous care their progress through the House of Commons, and have waited to see whether the select committee would do anythingto guiderailwaycompanies in their future course; but, as I have stated, the select committee have, as yet, not chalked out any course for us to pursue, and we therefore now appear before you having reconsidered all those projects, and the result is, that we are satisfied we should not be fulfilling our duty to the great company, whose interests are placed in our hands if we did not recommend you, on this occasion, to give your unqualified, and, I hope, your unanimous sanction to the measures named in the circular that has been for warded to each proprietor. I should be sorry to occupy your time with preliminary observations to-day particu larly as we have a good many of these bills before us ; but as honourable proprietors may have some objections against, or be desirous to offer some observations upon them, I will proceed to name the different projects as they are offered to you in the circular. I think you will remember. that at the last meeting, held in the month of April, I stated the number of projects involv ing an expenditure of capital was nine ; they are now reduced to six, three having fallen victims to the in quiries in the "louse of Commons ; and the amount of money required to complete them is also reduced by 750,0001., leaving the estimated outlay at 1,400,0001. This certainly lightens the task which is before me to day, and I hope that you will be satisfied in giving your sanction to the amount that we shall have to ask for. The first of these bills is to enable the London and North-Western Railway Company to make a railway to connect the Buckinghamshire Railway with the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, and to confer certain other powers with respect to the last named railway. Now this was explained to you before as being a very short branch to connect our Bucking hamshire system with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton Railway, and which is in point of fact a continuance of the narrow-guage system from South Wales to the east of England, and I think it closes a gap of very great importance. The east of England will now be open to the mineral products of South Wales ; and I think that the traffic, passing through our dis trict, as it must, will be found extremely beneficial to us. The estimated outlay for these works is 36,0001. The line is two miles in length, but it is in the neighbourhood of Oxford, and the land is of course of considerably higher value than land generally is in agricultural districts. The next bill is to enable the London and North-Western Railway Company to construct a railway from near Tring to Ox ford, with a branch at Oxford, and for other purposes. Now, gentleman, this is one of the projects the pro priety of which was rather disputed by many gentlemen, who thought the district through which it is proposed to be carried an unprofitable one for a railway. But allow me to say there are other considerations connected with this, and which, I think, will satisfy you - that the line is, at this moment, considering what passed in the House of Commons, one of the most important brought for ward for your consideration. There was the Mid- Western line projectod by a separate company, and it was to form a continuous line, I may say, with the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, into the South Wales district. That scheme was considered for many days by a committee of the House of Commons, and they decided unanimously, I believe, that our line was the preferable one. (Hear.) I dare say that one of the considerations which induced them to come to their decision'svas the larger amount of capital required for the proposed Mid-Western line. The committee, expressly stated that they thought it most desirable that a narrow-gauge communication between the South Wales district and London should be carried out by this projected extension from Tring to Oxford. I think this is a most satisfactory conclusion for. us—(hear)—and the committee were satisfied that this line would afford not only the best through communication, but that it would, also give the largest amount of local accommodation in that district of country. lam afraid that some of the landed proprietors of the district are disappointed at the loss of the Mid-Western project, but I think the line of country is so completely within our system that you will at some future time give your sanction to provide kir the whole of the accommodation proposed to be given by the Mid-Western scheme, for I am satisfied it will entirely answer all our purposes and be remunerative. We cannot expect that any por tion of the district should remain satisfied without having the railway accommodation required, and I think the affording such accommodation to all the great tow ns in England is in some degree a question of time. I my self fully anticipate that, at some future day, the whole of England will be a network of railways, so that there will be hardly a town without railway conveniences. The length of the Tring and Oxford line is 31 miles, and the estimated outlay is 400,000/. ; but we have reason to believe that this is rather an excessive estimate, and I think the revised estimate will give it at about 381,0001., for which the works will be completed. It was here suggested that the chairman should put to the sanction of the shareholders each bill immediately after he he had ma d e his observations upon its object. The CIIAIRMA.N said he was anxious to carry out the wishes of the proprietors, and at once pu t t h e bill s f or the bran c h to conect the Buckinghamshire and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railways, and for the Tring and Oxford line. The bills were unanimously approved of. The CIIAIR3I AN rh e i next bill s one to enable the London and North-Western Railway Company t o construct a branch railway to St. Alban' s, nd e f x o p r la o i t e h e e d r purposes. I think the object o f this bill' was t branch . to you at the last meeting. It i s fora which will be a considerable f ee d er to our main r Albans is placed in rather a pe cu li ar position witillie. refer ence to its being a certain distan ce f rom the Great Northern Railway. If we do not accommodate the in habitants they will obtain it from another company ; an d although I do not wish to express any great jealousy at the increase of traffic upon other lines, I must yet ob serve that we are necessitated to give accomodatio n in districts which legitimately. belong to our system of railways. I think the projected branch will be bene aow to us. The lengt h i m ei ght mileth and the esti- 111111111111/ mated cost 70,0001., and I have no doubt it will be com pletedvit inthis within the bill when I last had estimate. The Ara ershambr he nchwhich was included pleasure of meeting you, has not been granted by the" committee of the House of Commons. A PROPRIETOR.—What was the original estimate under this bill ? The CHAMMAN.--it was 152,0001; for the whole of the project. The bill was unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN.—The next bill which I have to intro duce to your notice is to enable the London and North- Western Railway Company to construct a railway from Northampton to Market Harborough, with a branch therefrom, and for other purposes. I dare say it may be in the recollection of some of the proprietors of this company, that there was in the year 1846 a scheme called the South Midland earned through the House of COmmons.. The project before you is a portion of that line. The Midland Counties have the other portion of the line, viz., the portion from Market Harborough to Leicester. Therefore, if it was desirable in the year 1846 that this system of railways should be constructed throughout the country, the thing is just in the same position as it was then, except that we have the country from Northampton to Harborough, and the Midland Counties from Leicester to Harborough, OI have no doubt as to the remuneration for the expenditure to be incurred for the construction of the proposed works. It is almost impossible for anybody to calculate what may be the result of opening out the resources of a new dis trict by means of railway accommodation. We are told there will be a large mineral traffic through the district, and I think there will be enough to pay the interest of the money to be expended for the construction of the proposed works ; but it is also one of those lines very much demanded by local parties ; and in our position I do not think we should be justified, if there were even to be a slight loss to the company, in refusing to give the accommodation required by the local parties in these districts. The line is 18 miles long, and the estimated cost 250,0001. Considerable opposition was offered to this bill, and Mr. PUNCHER moved that it be not approved of. The motion having been seconded, was put to the vote, when there were for the approval of the bill, .46 hands held up, and against it 22. A poll was demanded, and Mr. PUNCHER asked if the board was unanimous in recommending- this bill to the shareholders for adoption. The CHAIRMAN answered in the affirmative, and Mr. Puncher withdrew his opposition. The bill was then unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN—The next bill is to enable the London and North-Western Company to construct branches to Stourbridge, and to form a junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, in the town ship of Upper Swinford, in the county of Worcester, and for other purposes. Now, gentlemen, I explained to you at our last meeting that this is a short line, eight miles and a half in length, and that it will be a very ex pensive one to make. The estimated cost is 300,0001., or 33,000/. per mile ; but we, have, already been in the country, and know the difficulties we shall have to con tend with. We have had experience in the construction of the Stour Valley Railway, running through the dis trict ; and I have not a doubt that the line will pay the proprietors a handsome profit. This bill has passed the House of Commons, not in the manner in which we hoped and proposed that it should do. The committee of the House of Commons have thought it right to give what they call facility clauses to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company, which means that they may have the power of carrying their traffic over this line and the Stour Valley Railway ; that is, to force us to carry their traffic on the Stour Valley line to Bir mingham, and make use of our station. We do not think that we can agree to this, and I cannot think • that the House of Lords will agree to the clauses. There has been a very great discussion in the committees of the House of Commons as to running powers, and there have been various proposals of other descriptions to meet, not the views of parties, but to give facilities for carrying the traffic through upon the different lines of the country. Now, I think these facility clauses are more objectionable th an th e running powers asked for by other companies. It would be a large business to dis cuss that question now, and, in point of fact, it would require a person to have paid a great deal of attention to the subject to enable him to explain it to you pro perly ; but you can perfectly understand that it would be much against the interests of our company to carry traffic at tolls to be fixed by other companies, and I am not prepared to say we shall go on with this bill if the House of Lords allow these claims to be retained in it. If, on the contrary, they strike them out, we shall then have the bill as presented to the House of Commons, and the line will be, I believe, a very remunerative one to our system of railways in that part of the country. The bill was unanimously approved of. • The CHAIRMAN—The next bill is to enable the London and North-Western Railway Company to construct a railway from near Wellington to Coalbrookdale and Ironbridge, with a branch to the Hadley station of the Shropshire Union Railway, and for other purposeS. This was proposed to be, and it was thought very desir able that it should be, in connection with our Shropshire line. We had a right to suppose that it would be a pro fitable line, as there were a great many parties in the field contending for it, but the committee of the House of Commons have rejected our bill, and have granted it in, I believe a sort of mutilated state. Part of the new line has been given to the Severn Valley Railway Com pany. I believe it has been given in such a shape that neither company will be grateful to the committee for what it has received ; and whether the line will be made or not Ido not know. The estimated expense was 160,0001. The next bill is for enabling the London and North-Western Railway Company to construct a railway from Crewe to Shrewsbury, and other works in connection with their undertaking, and for other pur poses relating thereto. This is for a line from Crewe to Shrewsbury, 33 miles long, and the estimated expense of which is 350,0001. It will be made at a very cheap rate-10,600/. per mile. It will be of easy construc tion, and be made, I think, within the estimated cost. This would appear to be a competing line with the' Cheshire and Lancashire. In projecting this line we have not had any intention to interfere with that,com pany, or of loosening the ties of friendship that bind us together. We are still on terms of friendship with that company, and hope we shall remain so. The pro posed line is in the centre of our system, and it is'abso: lutely for the purpose of carrying the Lancashire and Yorkshire manufactures down into South Wales, and vice versa bri ng i ng th e - m i nera l pro d ucts o f South Vales into Lancashire and Yorkshire. I think it will be a useful line, and will pay the expense of making it. The bill was unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN—These are all the bills that involve any expenditure of capital, or any outlay of money, on our parts ; and the whole amount required to complete the projected lines is 1,417,0001. The next upon the list is a bill for conferring additional powers on the London and North-Western Railway Company, with reference to the construction of their Oldham branch, and for making an alteration in such branch, and for other purposes. The matter was explained to you at the last meeting as an old project which we are obliged to make. The bill was unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN—The next bill is for making a railway from the London and North-Western Railway at Wil lesden to the East and West India Docks and Birming ham Junction Railway, with a branch to the North and South-Western Junction Railway, to be called the North and South-Western Hampstead and City Junc tion Railway, and for other purposes. This is a bill promoted by independent parties, the capital is 250,0001., and we apply fOr power to subscribe 150,0001. to it— permissive power. This bill was also unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN said, the next for making a rail way from Worcester to Hereford, with certain branches therefrom ; for making arrangements with the Midland and London and North-Western Railways, and for other purposes. This is a very important line. We do not subscribe any capital to it, but still have permissive power to do so. I repeat that this is a very important line for the completion of the narrow gauge system in that part of the country. There have been discussions, of great length, before the House of Commons, on the question of the mixed gauge. The committee rejected . the project of the Great Western, and Oxford, Worces- ter, and Wolverhampton Companies, and unanimously objected to the extension of the mixed gauge: I think the question one of the most important of those that have been discussed before thncommittees, in reference to the railway system of the country, and that we should congratulate ourselves on the result of the inquiry. I think the mixed gauge impracticable, and if you remem ber I told you at the last meeting I hoped and trusted that the broad gauge would never be intermixed with the narrow gauge to Liverpool. We have to congratu late ourselves also on the rejection of the Great Western bills in reference to the Shrewsbury line, and I trust that Parliament will have the good sense not to allow the broad gauge to be extended, notwithstanding the expectation of the Chairman of the Great Western, who speaks of its extension to Liverpool. I feel that the more the broad gauge is permitted to be extended the more difficult will it be to reconcile those conflicting railway differences with which it is connected ; and I cannot indeed hope, so long as the broad gauge is allowed to intrude itself into the districts served by our system of railways, to see an end to conflicts that have been so embarrassing to us. The clause affecting the London and North-Western Railway Company was then read, and the bill unani mously approved of. The CHAIRMAN—The next bill is for making a railway from the London and North-Western Railway, in the parish of Milverton, in the county of Warwick, to Strat ford-upon-Avon, in the same county, with branches, to be called the Leamington, Warwick, and Stratford-upon- Avon Railway. We do not subscribe any of the capital required for this project, but it is in connection with our system, and we are therefore obliged to ask the consent of the proprietors to do it. The bill was unanimously approved of. The CHAIRMAN—There is One more resolution which I shall have to submit to you. He then proposed a re solution approving of a bill to enable the London and North-Western Company to hold certain lands and buildings near the Haydon-square Station on the Black wall Railway. The resolution was carried nem, con. A cordial vote of thanks was given to the chairman and directors of the company, for the zeal . and ability with which they have promoted the interests of the un dertaking. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks,' expressed the regret he felt at his approaching disconnection with the company. In a short time he would be far away in another country; but wherever he might be, he should alway s feel the greatest interest in the prosperity of the company. He paid a warm tribute of praise to the able services rendered to the undertaking by the general wager, the secretary, and Solicitors of the company, and thanked' the shareholders for he confidence they had reposed in him. The - meeting then broke up. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAILWAY. YORK, SATFJRDAY. A special general meeting of this company was held here to-day—Mr. Pulleine, chairman of the company, presiding. The object was to consider a scheme for in corporating the Bedale and Leyburn Railway Company, working their line, &c. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution expressive of ap proval on the part of the meeting of the bill, and it was carried unanimously. WEST LONDON. On Saturday a special meeting of this company took place at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to con firm the terms of an arrangement agreed upon between the directors and the London and North-Western Com pany, by which the latter were to take the line of the West London Railway at a fixed price or annual rental, and also to purchase the Kensington Canal and any other property belonging to that company—Mr. Bird in the chair. It was agreed that an application should be made to Parliament for a bill to sanction the proposed arrangement, and a resolution confirming the same was proposed by Mr. Lovelace, and seconded by Mr. Cam pion, and unanimously adopted. The meeting then separated. • SCOTTISH CENTRAL. A special general meeting of this company was held at Perth on Friday —Mr. Bruce, of Kennet, presiding —to consider certain bills before Parliament for con structing a number of branches in connection with the Scottish Central line. The CHAIR BAN explained the nature of the proposed branch lines, from which he anticipated an important addition of traffic to the Scottish Central, though they were not bound to promote their construction. A resolution, giving the sanction of the company to the bills, having been adopted, a vote of thanks was tendered to the chairman, and the meeting separated. COMPLAINTS OF THE PASSENGERS OF". THE STEAMER MAURITIUS. TO THE EDITOR 01 THE SUN. Sir,—l have the honour to forward you a copy of a letter sent to the Timts by the passengers on board the General Screw Steam Shipping Company's Steamer Mauritius. The newspapers from Mauritius will give you the main facts of the voyage from the Cape to Mauritius. Since leaving the latter place, the sea has continued almost calm as a lake. Yet the passage from the Mauritius to Point de Galle has occupied 114 days, being about 7 miles per hour, and that from Point de Galle to Madras 3 days more. Total voyage from Plymouth to Madras 101 days, and from London 108 days, being scarcely more than 44 miles per hour for the entire distance. A PASSENGER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. At Sea, Jan. 17, 1853. Sir,—We the undersigned passengers on board the General Screw Steam Shipping Company's vessel the Mauritius, feeling ourselves deeply aggrieved, and consider ing we have just cause of complaint against that company, desire to place on record the following circumstances :- 1. That the Mauritius was advertised in the Times to sail from London on the 10th of November, and from Plymouth on the 16th of the samdnionth, on the strength of which announcement most of us secured berths. Bat on the 11th of Nov. an advertisement appeared for the first time also in the Times, stating, that with the permission of the Admiralty, her departure from Plymouth was postponed to the 25th of November, when it was too late for the In dian passengers to secure berths in the Overland Mail of that month. We accordingly assembled at Plymouth on or previous to the morning of the 25th, but found the ship had not arrived, and she did not reach the sound until midnight of that day. We were next morning assured her detention in the channel, was caused by stress of weather, and the same reason coupled with " coaling ?" was as signed for her further detention at Plymouth, until the afternoon of the 29th, when she proceeded to sea—thus entailing on the passengers the heavy expense of living at hotels for several days. 2. That we were assured, both by advertisements in the public journals and by the company's officials, the passage to the Cape would occupy 30 days, to Madras 54, and to Calcutta 60, and on our expressing anxiety, that these periods would not be exceeded, and stating the serious loss both of time and money, any delay would oc casion us, we were further informed, that in consequence of complete arrangements of the company, that the pe riods named would, as nearly as possible, be those of arrival at the several places . —the fact, that the con tract to carry H. M.'s Mails, Lowed the Company no less than 74 days to Calcutta, was carefully suppressed. For, had that circumstance been known to the Indian passen gers, scarcely one of them would have ventured to incur the loss of service and emolument so tedious a passage would have involved. 3. That a few days after our departure from Plymouth it became apparent that the machinery was not in an effi cient state, and the engine pumps having ceased to act, the engine room was completely flooded, causing numerous stoppages, and defying the utmost exertions of the engin eers. In this state the crew laboured at the pumps day and night for several days, until our arrival-.at St. Vincent on December 11 , when immediately a strong body of negroes were employed to pump out the remaining water, and relieve the exhausted crew. Here we were de tained six days repairing defects in the machinery, during five of which we were enveloped in clouds of coal dust. On the 17th we left St. Vincent, and progressed favour ably till the morning of tho 24th, when a part of the ma chinery in connexion with the screw was found to be broken; in consequence, we were delayed five days, dur ing nearly the whole of which period the massive ma chinery of the screw, weighing upwards of seven tons, was repeatedly raised and lowered by means of an immense pair of sheers erected for the purpose, and a chain worked by the windlass on the fOrecastle, and at three different times, portions of one of the fans were cut off. Ascension was reached on the 31st of December, being 32 days from Plymouth, and 40 from London: On the evening of same day, we left Ascension, and up to the 11th of January, we experienced delays, amounting in the whole to 52 hours, when the engines again stopping for several hours, it was suddenly discovered, that there was not so much as three days' consumption of coal on board; in consequence of which, the fires were extinguished, and the ship put under sail. 4. That the provisioning on board this' vessel, is of an inferior, and the cooking of a very uninviting description. The attendants are inexperienced, and there being only one stewardess, the ladies' cabins are arranged by men. 5. That in consequence of the usual baggage room not being provided, our luggage has been most seriously and irreparably damaged by being buried beneath many tons of coal ; that many boxes of apparel, essential to the com fort of the passengers, have only been procured after several weeks of deprivation. 6. That it is our deliberate opinion, that the detention and delays to which we have been subjected, entailing on many of us serious loss both of service and emolu ments, are not the result of ordinary accident, but have been caused by utter neglect, and the reckless manner in which the vessel was hurried to sea without any trial, or test of the fitness of the machinery ; unless, indeed, the protracted passage from London to Plymouth may be con strued into a trial trip ;—the result of which, as proving the inefficiency of the vessel for sea, in being obliged to anchor twice on her passage round to, and undergoing repairs at, Plymouth, ought surely to have deterred those in authority from despatching us on a- voyage of upwards of 12,000 miles. To this absence of the usual trial trip (a matter of vital importance to the safety of an ocean steamer), we attribute the original of our mis fortunes, and which omission might have been most dis astrous to us, to the really noble ship and her valable cargo, had we encountered anything but the calm and delightful weather we have had throughout, which would not have endangered the safety of a boat. It may be argued on be half of the company that the Naval Superintendent of Mail Steam Vessels at Plymouth inspected and passed the Mauritius as fit for sea ; but in answer to this defence, we would remind you, Sir, that the same functionary paid a similar compliment to the unfortunate Melbourne. In conclusion, we desire to bear testimony to the ur banity and gentlemanly conduct of Captain Elder and his officers, whose zeal and energy, aided by the exertions of his crew (more especially those of the engineers and their men) we cannot praise too highly.—We bog to subscribe ourselves, Sir, your obedient servants, Charles Taylor, Cape Town.

NEW WAY OF RAISING THE WIND.—An incident of a ludicrous nature has come under notice, which occurred two or three weeks ago. Two individuals of Bacchana lian notoriety had been drinking together at a public house in Horncastle, when, finding they were minus the needful, they bethought themselves of an expedient for " raising the wind." In an instant a , striking idea nearly overwhelmed one of our heroes, and having asked his companion whether he had made his will, and being answered in the negative, he exclaimed with rapture, " I have it, listen to me—you must be suddenly taken ill, I'll see you home, make out your will, and charge your wife for it: you must,then gradually get better and rejoin me." Accordingly, the poor fellow was taken suddenly very ill, and his companion like a kind-hearted man, took him home, acquainted his wife with the sad occurrence,- and threw in some dark surmises about him not surviving the night. At length the will was made in favour of the side man's wife, and the "professional"gentleman was about to depart, when the invalid called him back, and requested his spouse "to pay the gentleman before he quitted this mortal world." The "professional" gentleman's usual charge was a half-sovereign, but Mr. being a friend of his, he would only accept of three half-crowns. The money was paid, and away went the lawyer to the White Hart. Presently he was joined by his friend, who, after the money was paid, suddenly bad become restored. They quickly metamorphosed some of the cash into liquor, which they swallowed with gusto, and were laughing to themselves how they had cheated " the old woman." She herself, however, at length entered, and knocked her husband out of his chair. While in the act of falling he shouted to the "profes sional " gentleman, " Alter the will, alter the will ; I'll I cut her o ff with a s hilling. — Stamford Mercury. • _ LORD ELLESMERE AT NEW YORK. (From the Now Pork Herald.) The British frigate Leander, Coromauder King, ar rived at this port yesterday from Plymouth, ha,N:ng on board as passengers Lord Ellesmere, family, and suite. Lord Ellesmere is the English - Royal Commissioner to the Crystal Palace at New York. • - The general interchange of friendly feeling among the governments and inhabitants of all nations and the wide spread diffusion of the most recent discoveries in the arts and sciences, together with the immediate propaga tion of the results of the latest philosophical researches and agricultural improvement inquiries, which took place after the Great National Exhibition in London, entitle that tremendous undertaking to be looked upon as a chief blessing by the civilised world. The English Government was soon aware of the bene ficial influences which would flow upon mankind from the uninterrupted march of the new spirit thus engen dered by itself, and, with characteristic readiness, it re solved upon lending a helping hand to similar institu tions all over the world. The contributions of. America to the Crystal Palace in Hyde•park were such as entitled this Republic to rank among the most distinguished of the kingdoms in point of industry, genius, and practical appliance of mechanical skill ; and hence we were the first to determine upon having an" Exhibition for the Industry of all Nations" upon our own soil. The alacrity with which England responded to the in timation of our intention is known to all. Her Sove reign issued a commission, by virtue of which a repre sentative delegation would proceed to New York ' • and every department of th e Government--Admiralty, Mili tary, Ordnance, Finance, and Trade----showed the most ready determination to assist the Queen in carrying the idea to a successful issue. The British Sovereign placed at the head of the com mission the Right Ron. Francis Earl of Ellesmere, a nobleman whose life has been distinguished by a devo tion to the practical study of science, literature, and the fine arts ; and it was determined that he should proceed upon his peaceful mission in a manner worthy his own rank, his country, and that to which he was accredited. The Lords of the Admiralty'immediately ordered the new and very fine man-of-war Leander, which was com missioned for special seryice, to be made ready for sea, and, her naval equipment being soon completed, Lord Ellesmere, with her Ladyship and a portion of their family, sailed from Plymouth upon the morning of the 10th May. The voyage was most pleasant. No extraordinary speed was desired, and; an even rate of sailing was main tained throughout. There was no sickness on board, further than the expected stomach qualms of some of the landsfolk comprising the suite, and the ship sped on her course merrily. The Leander arrived at the Narrows about half-past ten o'clock yesterday morn ing, •and was there taken in tow by the steam-tug Ajax, by which vessel she was brought abreast of the battery, where she cast anchor at a quarter past twelve o'clock, noon, after making the passage from Plymouth in a little over 30 days. ; When the Leander was coming into harbour her offi cers espied the American flag hoisted at Governor's Island, which was saluted by a discharge of .21 guns from the ship, the cannon of the fort responding in a moment. The news of her arrival was immediately forwarded to Mr. Barclay, British Consul, and simultaneously tele graphed to the _Herald office by our ship news agent. We dispatched special reporters to visit the ship, and upon their arrival at Whitehall they found one of her boats fully manned, with the union jack waving from her stern, waiting to convey Mr. Barclay on board. Mr. Barclay was received on deck by the commander, Captain George St. V. King, with due honour, and conducted over the vessel. Immediately after our reporters came alongside, and upon presenting their cards they were at once admitted, and received with that frank and urbane attention which characterises the British sailor both at home and abroad. Upon the Leander every man was at his post, but the necessary bustle which always exists after a voyage was such that a full inspection of the ship could not be made yesterday. However we have recei ve d some d eta il s re specting her whi c h will be found interesting. . The Leander is a new ship—it not being more than half a dozen years since she was built—of very ample breadth, and a good height between decks. She does not present the app eara nce of a "quick one" when viewed at anchor, but yet she has the reputation of being a very fast sailor, as was attested in. her late voyage; She is of 2,000 tons burden, and is. manned with a force, includ ing officers and hands of every rating, of 500 men. She is pierced for and mounts 50 guns of very heavy calibre. We find the names of her officers published in the Navy List of the past year ; but as many changes have taken place since , in consequ ence o f promot i ons and exchanges, we furnish a corrected roll of the gentle men now in commission : Captain—George St. Vincent King. Lieutenants First, Charles H. May ; second, Agnew ; third, Frederick W. Gough; fourth, Sir Henry Blackwood ; fifth, Campbell ; sixth, Lord G. Gros venor. Surgeons— Robertson, M.D., Blake, M.D. Chaplain—Rev. Charles W. Belgrave, B.A. Midshipmen—Messrs. Ward, Hardy, Johnson, Mit chell, Warburton, Burnston, Ley, Wise. The Royal Marine force detailed 68 men for duty upon the Leander. They are all in the prime of life, and excellent specimens of the British soldier, both in drill, equipment, and personal appearance. The Marines are commanded by Captain Miller, R.M., and Lieu tenant Douglass, R.M., with the usual complement of non-commissioned officers. The following is a complete list of the passengers on board :—The Right Hon. Francis Earl of Ellesmere, the Hon. Harriet Catherine Countess of Ellesmere ; his Lordship's children—Lady Alice Harriet Frederica Egerton, Lady Blanche Egerton, the Hon. Algernon Egerton, Captain Coldstream Guards ; the Hon. Arthur Frederick Egerton, Grenadier Guards. Sir John Acton is also a passenger. Lord Ellesmere's suite consists of three maid-servants and three men-servants. 'ln order to enable the servants to perform their duty with more ease and greater facility, a considerable portion of the aft part of the ship was fitted up as temporary cooking and washing rooms, &c., which somewhat detracts f r om h er a pp earance . These fixtures will soon be removed, we understand. We regret to announce that during yesterday after noon Lord Ellesmere was confined to his state room with a severe attack of gout, and had expressed his de termination not to leave •the ship during the evening. The Ladies Egerton had gone ashore, attended by their maids ; they were in excellent health, and we trust enjoyed some pleasure from a sight of the novelties, varieties, and bustle which are to be daily met with during a walk through the Empire City. The Hon. Captain Egerton was on board also, in good health and spirits, Lord Ellesmere has brought some valuable contribu tions to our exhibition—paintings, works' of art, &c.— his own private property, from the family mansion, but, owing to his indisposition, our reporter did not request a catalogue. It is the intention of Lord Ellesmere to visit the Niagara Falls, Canada, and various other parts of the country previous to the opening of the Palace. The English Commission to America is now complete, and it must be acknowledged that the country is well and worthily represented. The Commission is constituted as follows : Chief Commissioner—Earl of Ellesmere. Geology and Mineralogy —Sir Charles Lyell. Agriculture—Professor G. Wilson. Textile Fabrics and Ornamental Arts—Mr. Wallis. General Commissioner—Mr. Wentworth. Dilke. We are informed by the officers of the Leander, that, in addition to the complimentary delegation, many distinguished gentleme n from various parts of Eng land were preparing to leave home for the purpose of visiting us, and that a number had left in the different ships and steamers daily sailing for our ports. In concluding this sketch, we beg to tender a hearty welcome to the commissioners, the ladies, and the gal lant officers and men of the Leander, and to express the hope that during their stay many opportunities will present, by which the friendly bonds that cement the two great sections of the Anglo-Saxon race may be drawn closer. FIRE AND Loss •OF LIFE IN HATTON-GARDEN.-1 fire of a very deStructive characte r , attended with a serious loss of property, and fatal results to two or three persons, broke out between the hours of seven and eight on Saturday evening, in the premises occupied conjointly by Mr. George Ross, the patentee of the American over-shoe and India rubber fabrics, Messrs. Pakeman, export tailors, Mr. Curtis, a clothier, and several other, persons, situate at No. 107, Hatton-garden. The pre mises in question were of great altitude, there being several floors in the structure. Mrs. Curtis, who occupied the top part of the house, at the time of the disaster occurring, was cleaning the stairs, and was ali .of a suden alarmed by a dense body of smoke issuing from the lower part of the build ing She at once gave an alarm, and had barely sufficient time to reach the street door when she saw the flames breaking through the doors and windows of the ground floor. This part of the property was well stored with articles made of India-rubber, gutta percha, and other substances quite as inflammable, which proved of such assistance to the flames that they travelled as quick as electricity, thereby cutting off all means of escape of three persons who had not been able to run down stairs during the brief interval that had elapsed. The scene at the time—not more than five minutes after the fire was discovered—was painful in the extreme. A young female, named Curtis, who was in the upper part of the house became literally surrounded with flame, 'and unfortunately she was quickly burnt almost to a cinder. A woman, who also lived in the upper part of the house, after making several futile attempts to reach the street, was obliged to make for the front window, no doubt expecting to find the escapes of the Royal Society there, but unfortunately the hour for the conductor to come on duty had not arrived, and the poor creature, as the last expedient, jumped out of the window. She fell, in the first in stance, upon some iron spikes that surrounded the area, and, as one of the neighbours was hastening to liberate her, she fell upon the stone flags with fearful violence. She was instantly removed to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital ; but very little hopes are entertained of her re covery. So fierce was the progress of the conflagration that the firemen, in order to save the adjoining pre- mises, mounted the roofs, and by conveying the hose along the parapets they were enabled to distribute the water in such directions as to confine the destructive element principally to the warehouses in which it began. The poor girl Curtis was found in the ruins by one of the brigade, burnt quite black ; and during the morning of yesterday the body of a man named Stephens was also found dreadfully disfigured by the action .of the fire, and quite dead. NAY EVENING, JUNE 27, 1 853. STATE OF TRADE. (Fron the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) ,HESTEri, June 24.—The danger of war between Russia , and Turkey has increased so much in the pre sent week as still further to restrict the amount of business in our market. All classes of buyers are rendered more timid. In addition to this, the ad vices received by the overland mail have the effect of strengthening the indisposition of the India and China merchants to enter into any operations. We have, therefore, to report a week of extremely limited transactions both in yarns and goods. With all this, however there is no giving way in prices. The firmness which prevails is owing to several causes. Spinners and manufacturers are in general free from stocks, and pretty well supplied with orders. The falling-off in the receipts of cotton at the American ports, and the very great proportion of rubbish now held, give to respectable qualities somewhat of the hardening tendency, even under existing circumstances. On all hands, the opinion prevails that, if the differences between Russia and Turkey were settled, the demand would be such as to cause an advance in cotton, in yarns, and in goods. At present there is a tendency to a higher cost of production, arising. out of the agitation among the operatives for a restriction of the hours of labour and an advance of wages, and this agitation seems likely to suc ceed to some extent. Thus situated, producers are anything but anxious to bring themselves under further engage ments, andlherefore they maintain their quotations with unflinching firmness. The turn-out at Stockport con-' tinues without any appearance of concession on either side; but' it is said the " hands " are receiving hardly, any support from other places. At Blackburn, the " twisters-in" having struck for an advance of wages, all the millowners gave notice, a few days ago, that, if the demand were persisted in, they would, at the end of a fortnight, entirely stop their machinery both in the spinning and weaving departments. The conse quence is that the people, in at least half-a-dozen esta blishments, have ceased operations, without waiting for the fortnight's notice. GLASGOW, June 24.—We have had a quiet but steady market ddring the week. IST,OTTIXGRAIVI, June 23.—The two trades of this,town do riot present any new features to call forth remark, as each continues in pretty much the same condition as we have reported it for several weeks past there is certainly not any improvement in the lace trade, but the hosiers are still well occupied. The high price of yarns is yet maintained for both lace and hosiery, with out any prospect of a reduction being made in either- . LEICESTER, June 23.—Upon a survey of business for some time past, we find that although an almost unpre cedented rise in wools has taken place during the year, a sustained demand has cleared the market, and manufac turers are now found with scarcely an average stock for the season on hand. That the London and Manchester wholesale houses have laid in heavy stocks for the approaching season far beneath present prices admits of no doubt, but the shipping trade being still good, and the harvest coming on, renders it a moral certainty that good employment for the operatives must continue. Worsted and cotton yarns fully maintain their prices, and higher rates in the former are inevitable if wools maintain their present value. We may notice that al though farmers' lots have increased in value from 12s. to 14s. per tod since last year, and foreign wools in the same proportion, the demand both here and in York shire has met with no check, nor will it whilst trade in Yorkshire continues good. The recent advance in the rate of discount has brought prices to a stand at present, and the uncertain posture of political affairs has put a stop to all speculation. BRADFORD.—The trade is decidedly dull, yarns and piece being less inquired after. Wool during the last fortnight has receded ld. per lb. all round. People will not and dare not operate freely at present prices. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM-HOUSE, JUNK 25.

STATISTICS OF CRIME IN LIVERPOOL.--The total num ber of offences committed in 1852 was 19,026 ;—murder, 6 ; manslaughter, 7 ; cutting and maiming, 23 ; bigamy, 3 ; deserting children, 4 ; concealing births, 3 ; rape, 2 ; indecent assaults, 9 ; the number of assaults on police officers was 557. We do not appear to have attained the same eminence in the calendar of drunkenness as our sister country, Scotland, in whose metropolis one in every 15 of the population is said to be appre hended by the police in a state of inebriation, which renders a short period of imprisonment absolutely re quisite. In Liverpool, during 1852, 3.211 "drunk and incapables" were apprehended, which is hardly as bad as " 1 in 15."• 59 persons were apprehended for wilful exposure of the person, 3 for being keepers of houses of ill-fame, 43 for bastardy, 102 for gambling, and 30 for deserting their families. 529 robberies had been com mitted by pickpockets, 554 by girls of loose character, and 402 by other means. 541 robberies were com mitted from vessels in the docks, 359 from the dock quays, and 627 of goods from the streets. Of the number taken into custody 11,809 were males and 7,2l7leinales; summarily punished, 10,296 ; committed for trial, 522 ;, bills ignored, 7 ; acquitted, 99; imprisoned, 517 ; trans ported, 93. The value of the property stolen was 14,042/. 12s. Bd., and of that recovered 4,846/. 10s. lOd. Of the perilous taken into custody on charges of felony, 3,366 males had been previously is custody and 2,211 females-425 of this total number of "old offenders" being under the age of twelve. The number of prostitutes taken into custody and summarily pu nished for being disorderly in the streets was 937, of whom 842 were committed. The informations laid by the police were, in the town, 4,208 ; of these 120, were withdrawn, 235 wrongly laid, or summonses not served, 625 acquitted, and 3,228 fined—the amount of fines being 1,6631. Bs. The dock informations num bered 2,809, and 2,298 offenders were fined—the fines amounting to - 7281. 12s. It appears that there are 484 lodging-houses registered in the town, 2,999 empty houses within the borough, 33 house in which stolen property is received, 162 old clothes shops, and 191 marine stores. The number of public-houses doing business was 1,406, of which 83 were irregular, 22 of them having music saloons. The number at present closed is 18. There is an increase in the north end of the town of 19, and a decrease in the other division of the bo rough of 8. 918 beer-houses do business, and of these 95 are irregular, and 59 have been added to the last since 1851. Of the 96 coffeehouses in existence 15 are ir regular. Although no fresh licenses have been granted during the year the increase has been occasioned by transfers and removals, particularly from the neighbour hood of Wapping. The brothels kept by men number 113, by women 461. The total number of pros titutes is 1,706 ; of men residing in brothels, 262 ; of other houses of bad repute, 49 ; of houses where prostitutes lodge, 69. 44 disreputable houses have been removed by the police, but there is still an in crease over the previous year of 16 houses, although the number of prostitutes has only increased from 1,703 in the pi evious year to 1,706. The number of professional thieves at work in Liverpool, male and female, is 884, 62 belonging to the fair sex ; the occasional thieves, 106 ; and the suspicious characters, 90. w L• erpoo Staticlard. FALL OF A WAREHOUSE IN THE CITY.—On Saturday morning, a very large warehouse in Joiners' Hall-build ings, Dowgate, occupied by Mr. Anthony Nichol. and Son as a warehouse for chemicals, &c:, fell down with a tremendous crash. The basement was used as a stabling, but at the time of the fall there was only one horse remaining there, and which, it is needless to state,- was crushed. MISCELLANEOUS. ......

Mr. Barron has arrived at Dublin Castle to receive instructions for the maintenance of the public peace and the protection of. the electors during the con test. These functionaries will be attached to the Six mile-bridge polling station. The stipendiary magistrates are to attend during the Clare .election, two in each of the polling stations. In addition to these preparations a large military force, both cavalry and infantry, has already arrived at Ennis, in the event of any disturbances taking place. [ADVERTISEMENT..]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills are superior remedies for the cure of erysipelas.—Mr. William Parsons, of St. George's, Pill, near Bristol, was afflicted for upwards of two years with erysipelas in Lis legs, so bad at times as to lay him up for a month toge ther ; the medical aid he received, besides a weekly at tendance at the. Bristol Infirmary, had no good effect whatever in the disease, consequently he determined on giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial, and they have been the means of effecting a radical cure of his legs in an almost unprecedented short time.--Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London.
