% sT RAIL WAY COMPANY. 'SPECIAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY TO ' THE SHARE• HOLDERS. Four months having elapsed since the last general Meeting of this Company, and events having hi the meantime occurr• d which have ' caused great confusion in the commercial world, and occasioned the abendonment of many important undertakings and the unavoidable suspension of others; the Directors, anxious at all times to keep the hitarekoiders well informed upcn all matters which affect their in , terests, consider that they are called upon at the predent juncture to report to them officially the present position and prospects of the 'Cotiipany. ThaYarn happy in the Ant place in being able to state that, owing 4 , 4 0 the manner in which the last and all previous calls haVe been re liOnded to, not only have they been enabled to carry on the Cam ' Pany's works without suspension up to the present time, but they are in a position to continue to carry on the principal works on the Main line between Skipton and Clapham without any abatement of vigour, and without further demands on the Shareholders until the Month of March next. • In regard to the future conduct of the works, the Directors, with a view to render the future calls as little onerous as possible, pro ' Pose to devote the whole of the available resources of the Company to the construction of the works on the main line from Skipton up- Wards, in such a manner as to bring successive portions of the main aim in extension of the Leeds and Bradford Railway, into profit able operation at the earlist possible Period ; a course which a pro- Posed arrangement with the Midland Company, superseding the Remits , of a large outlay for working plant, renders still more de ' Bitable :—aud they are of opinion that, without inconveniently Pressing en the Shareholders, portions of the main line may be thus anecessively opened as far as Ingletou before the summer of 1849, and as tar as Kirby Lonsdale before the following autumn ;—thus bringing the North-Western Line within n'ne miles of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at Miinthorp ; and placing the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the Eastern and Midland Counties, with the excep • tion of that interval, in direct railway communication with the lake district, Carlisle, and Glasgow. The Directors, having personally visited the whole of the works in progress, have satisfied themselves of .the forward state of large portions of the line and of the excellent and inexpensive character of the works :—there are no engineering difficulties of any kind ; and, with the exception of the Ingleton and Dillicar Viaducts, no • Works that are not of the most ordinary character. From the contracts which have been already entered into, the Directors are in a position to state positively that the whole line Will be constructed considerably within the Parliamentary esti- Anates ;—the average cost of the works at present under contract and executed amounting to 9,000/. per mile, exclusive of land, rails, Parliamentary and:current expenses; and' to 16,0001. per mile, In ' chiding every possible contingeut expense. The Directors have already, more than once, stated their opinion, founded on particular local inquiry, that the registered shares are in • the hands of a most respectable, wealthy, and influential body of Shareholders; they are fully confirmed in this conclusion : and they think it rLiht to add, to their former expressions 01 opinion in respect ' to the Register, the important fact, that the average hold of each • • Shareholder in the Company does not exceed 30 shares. The Directors consider it at h present prematu or re th to fl x the number • of Calls to be made during te year,their a, but Will be prepared to enter into this matter at the Half-yearly Meeting • hit February. The Directors propose to continue to allow Interest after the rate Of 4/. per cent. pet annuta en paid-up Calls. The account of any Shareholder who may happen tobe in arrear will be debited with in ' terest•at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, from the date at which - the paymtneesball have become due, and credit( d with 4 .per cent. • • *Om the dme only whti the payment shall be made. •.

Mr. ARBUTHNOT adverted to the circumstance of an alteration in the sugar dutiea having been effected about two years ago, depreciating the protection en joyed by India sugar as against .slave labour sugar. Since then it had been generally reported that the slave trade had materially increased, and that the growth of slave-labour sugar was increasing; and, unless some steps wore taken to retrace our policy, it was feared that the planters of India would be driven out of the field. He understood that a letter on the subject to the Government had been sent to that Court, and he wished to know whether that" letter had been received, and whether it was the intention of the Court of'Directors to take any steps in conse quence ? The CHAIRMAN had the pleasure of informing the Hon. Proprietor that the letter he alluded to had been received, and had been vabmitted to the Government through the proper officria channel, with the expres sion of a hope that the Government would give it that attention which its importance appeared to de serve.—(Hear.) The CumardAN said he would not go into a case which had already been decided in .that Court seven or eight times. The directors had that day received official infOrmation of the death of the' Raja. The directors did not know that the climate of Benares disagreed with him until he (the Chairman) received a letter to that effect from Mr. Thompson, and they immediately sent out a dispatch directing that he might be removed to any other place he pleased. He should meet the present motion by one for an adjournment. Mr..THOMPSON opposed the motion, and in doing so made use of some very strong language, for which he was repeatedly called to order by the Chairman,:who at length told him that he filled the unenviable posi. tion of a public calumniator. The motion for an adjournment was at length put and carried by 27 to 6. The Court then adjourned. HALE, BOYS, and AUSTEN, Solicitors, 6, Ely-place, London.

This work on English Grammar treats of the subject: under the usual div.sions, namely, Orthography, Et) urology, and Syntax. Under the second of these are given some general rulei or prin ciples for the formation of one part of speech from another—a branch of the subject which is but little attended to in most elementary books on English Grammar, although extensively employed in Latin and Greek initiatory works. Part Second contail s a seri( s of•Ques lions, and a variety of other Exercises, designed to impress more deeply on the mind of the pupil the information contained' in Part First, and also to lead him gradually from a knowledge of single words to the impo , taut art of forming sentences. He will thus be aided in his first attempts at composition, and be prepared to enter upon the study of such other works on this, subject as will enlarge his acquaintance with the English language, and enable him to ex press his ideas with precision and fluency.

" North Walshtim.—At this fire the Portable ]Engine was of great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but Will the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Ckro nide,: August 220846. At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines arid they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo ipheres._ Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, andQliatn Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom excees's half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tri.d in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last th e victorY is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to tweuty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but some Men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Clanton Roberts, Esl., in his popular Work, No. 1,110, did well lh placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, IMAM, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. itaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps Were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, en the other hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain. able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve mentin the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. - The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, boric, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

The littl e an i ma l was walled to :he ground, the 11th milestone on the Slough-load, a few initiates before three o'clock, and ero it was un clothed excited no small curiosity among those w ho were not its personal acquaintances; a skin-view still more astonished them, for assuredly it was, height considered, a lengthy, leggy, and dangerous-looking animal—u-ing the epithet dangerous in its double sense. The start made, it was soon seen that the creature could go; but before a quarter of a mile was covered, the hinder rail of the match-cart broke, and the driver, Mr. George Jenks, was placed in a situation as anxious as that of an unqualified Member of the House of Commons; it was clear that his was a seat only to be held by determined opposition,.and this he showed by clinging on by the aid of his p - my's pulling and his own resolve of sticking to his return; this he made good at the 18th milestone. Here the turn took place, and the gallant little animal had to persevere until the 10th milestone on the road towards London was reached. This was done, mirabile dictu, in 58 minutes 15 seconds, thereby proving the victor by 1 minute 45 seconds, an achievement unpre cedented by an animal of its inches. PEDESTRIANISM.—JENKINSON AND MOLYNEUX'S RICE FOR 251. A-SIDE.—The race of 440 yards, between H. Moiyneux, and Charles Jenkinson, the London Stag, attracted, on Tuesday last, a large assemblage. The ground agreed on was at Harlington Corner, on the Hounslow-road, in the immediate neighbourhood of the Coach and Horses, indeed the starting point was nearly opposite that hostelrie. At a few minutes before three the men showed in racing trim, and got off at the first start. The ground, roped and staked up the middle for the last hundred ards, was well kept. The race, although a ,peedy one, wss sc trcely ever in doubt —a rattling run of 200 yards showed the Stag had all his work to du—at 300 yards they were level, but Molyneux winning, as far as self-control was concerued—at 400 he ran on, and turned almost, as if to look for his man. J9,nkimon ran gamely, but was defeated in a fast-run race by five yards. Time, 54 seconds, or perhaps under, and a heavy road, as the moist state of the atmosphere J. A. BRANDON.—On Saturday fl th u e Tstil l a l Et th riLre in Te s En t t , l‘i o ni c sE c u U r r e. j red the death of Mr. J. Arthur Brandon, a young architect of much promise, at the early age of twenty-six. Most of our readers have a knowledge of the valuable works produced by the Messrs. Brandon—" The Analysis o Gothic Architec ture," Parish Churches," &c.—and will grieve with us in hearing of this loss to the profession.—Builder. The Lord Mayor gave a very elegant entertain ment to the Common Councilmen, the clergy, and seve ral private friends of his ward of Queenhiche, at the Mansion-house, on St. Thomas's-day. There were fifty guests present at the dinner, which was supplied in first rata style by Messrs. Ring and Etrywer, of Cornhill. JUGGERNAUT. Mr. POYNDER had given ' notice of the following motion for to. day : " That the late correspondence between the Hod. Court of Directors and the Bengal Government rela tive to any pledge having been originally given for the continued support of .the temple of Juggernaut on the conquest of the district of Cuttack in the pro vince of Orissa, already laid on the table of this Court, be printed for the use of such proprietors as may previously signify in writing their desire to pos sees it:' • 4 ' :" 61 " But in rising to address the. Court, we understood the' Hon. Proprietor to express a wish to have substituted for that motion another, to the following effect : " That, adverting to the dispatch to the Bengal Government, transmitted fourteen years ago, by the Court of Directors, and dated the 20th o f February, 1833, declaring their determined withdrawal thence forth from all connexion with, and abetment of, the idolatrous rites and ceremonies of India; and further, adverting to the correspondence of the Court with its Bengal Government, ordered to be laid on the table of this Court, demonstrating that no pledge, direct or indirect, was evergiven for the support of that temple of Juggernaut ; and also adverting to the continued anual money payment of 35,000 rupees still made by the local Government for the support of the temple, its priests, and prostitutes, under the supposed obliga don of some fiscal commutation, in consequence of which pa-ment it was proved at the September Court that the abominations of this temple, and destruc tion of human life, still continue precisely as if the said dispatch had never been issued—this Court is of opinion that the local Government is manifestly ex ceeding its commission, and that the time is fully ar rived when it becomes the imperious duty of this Court, to Christianity and the country, to interpose and to declare that all such support of heathenism shall have an immediate end." The CHAIRMAN observed that if the Hon. Pro prietor wished to have the papers mentioned in his original motion printed, there was no objection to that, but that the motion since read was one of a very different character. The original motion baying been read and seconded, was about to be carried, when _ _ Mr. POYNDER said he wished to make a few obser vations. His object was, that the Court of Proprie tors should now take the matter up. Juggernaut, he said, still continued what it had ever been, and though victims were not now thrown under the wheel, still, from the multitudes collected together, from the effect of seasons, and other circumstances, there ensued a vast sacrifice of human life at these superstitious rites, while the idolatry and sin of attending them remained the same. Thequestion was, whether or not there existed any pledg e which bound the India Government to keep up. this heathenism for all time ? In the cor respondence would be , found conflicting opinions on this point, but some of the answers in reference to this 'matter, and they appeared to him to be the wisest and most conclusive, were to the effect that no such pledge existed. He observed that among the proprie tary body of the East India Company there,were 86 cler gymen having 107 votes, and necessarilygreat influence. He thought it hard that those gentlemen, who only made their appearance in that Court twice a year for the purpose of receiving their dividends, and the effect of whose votes was chiefly felt in the election of directors, should be found absent from the Court when some of the most awful and important questions were under discussion. He had sent to them notice of the present motion, but he . had 'onl s k got one an swer, stating that the writer concurred in the motion and would vote for it, if he could give his rote by proxy. As that could not be done, he (Mr Poynder) had consequently lost the benefit of his vote. How ever, he believed that the time could not be far dis tant when, through the prevailing influence of the Christian religion, there would be accomplished an entire and complete relinquishment and abandonment by the East India Company of this foul, unnatural, and detestable source of at least half the crimes in Bengal. Mr. WEEDING observed, that since the last Court information had reached this country in respect to he practice of Suttee, which he believed would he satisfactory to the lion. Proprietor. The information he referred to was to the effect that that practice, which consisted in the sacrifice of women at the funerals of their husbands, was abolished in the kingdom of Lahore by the orders of the Government of that country. That was a great step, and it must be satisfactory to the Hon. Proprietor to find that the local Government of India was alive to the improvement of the social condition of the people. This was the safest way of c° the object w hi c h the Hon. Proprietor h a a c da inPl at heart. The original motion was then put and agreed to ; and with respect to the second motion, it was agreed that that should stand as a notice for next Court, The CHAIRMAN observing that the sum of 35,000 rupees referred to in the motion was above the amount paid; that it was not given as a boon or discretionary grant, but as a payment liable to be contested as a right in courts of justice. Mr. LEWIS thought that other papers should be produced, to throw light on the subject. The CHAIRMAN replied, that no further papers had been since received. Vv Mr. SULLIVAN said that when the question cane to be discussed the Chairman would find him a strenuous opponent of the doctrine he had just enunciated. THE RAJA. OP SATTARA. Mr. LEwts said he had given notice of a motion with respect to the case of the late Raja of Sattara but, as through some inadvertence it had not been advertised, he would renew the notice for next Court. Mr. SULLIVAN said, that he had come prepared to support the Bon. Proprietor's motion, and as he thought this an urgent case, admitting no delay, he would now propose a motion on the subject himself. It was true that the Raja was dead, but his case was not dead, and the iniquity enacted against him must be redressed. He believed all the charges against him to be the result of a foul conspiracy, and that he had been der;lironed and degraded on the strength of evidence which he was not permitted to see. The Honourable Pr oprietor concluded by making a motion to the effect That the content s o f the papers re • cently laid before the C ourt res pecting the innocence of f r evhi o e a u s i Raja necessary,d possessedoo f d S thet rbatogether with t h e information the Court, rend ere d it expe dient the further ance o f t h e en d s of justice, re good gov ernment o f I n di a . t that the inquiry which had been prayed for by the at furut u late Raja should he granted, with the view of re lieving his character, if innocent, and vindicating the honour of the British Government from that suspicion and obloquy which the proceedings against the late Raja excited." Mr. GEORGE Taaatrsori, in seconding the ,motion, said he would bring the subject forward at every Court, until justice was done to the character of the late Raja, who had fallen a victim to the persecu lion of his enemies, and the obduracy of the Court of Directors; in fact, he was a murdered man. The agent at Benares, more than two years ago, reported to the Bombay Government that he was fast sinking from the effect of the climate of Benares, which was very different from the part of India in which he was born. He had repeatedly memo rialised the Government for permission to remove from Benares to some other part of India, the climate of which was more congenial to his constitution ,• but no attention was paid to his request, although the agent had himself stilted that, if not permitted to remove from Benares, he would ultimately fall a victim to the climate. The Government.of India had long been aware that he was slowly sinking under the effects of the climate. He had not died from any disease, but was s lowly murdered.. It was his dyi ng wish that a full investigation should take place into all the charges that had been brought against him. He (Mr. Thompson) wished to know :what was intended to be done with his territory ? He believed the original. intention was for the Government to take possession of it. His family, however, lived to The Noble CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by reminding the meeting that it was customary on such occasions for the Chairman to address those assembled upon the subject which had called them together, and in confOrmity with that custom he felt st eras his duty to address a fe w -v e ry brief observa s lions ` to them wi th respect to the- very latereetfog subject bf the progiess which the Ragged Schools" had made since their establishment.—(Hear, hear.) The success which had attended the efforts of the founders of these schools was most remarkable, and he hoped that it would be an encouragement to others to follow their example throughout the length and breadth of the land.—(Cneers ) Since he presided at a meeting on this subject in St. Pancras, a year ago, he had experienced many opportunities of witnessing the condition of the children from whose class the attendants at the Ragged Schools were drawn; and he had found, every day, reason to thank God for what had already been done in the way of giving an education to these children.—(Hear, hear.) They had•now 5,500 children at their schools, all re ceiving instruction, and all made each day more sus ceptible of moral improvement. They were, when the society took them in its hands, ragged, forlorn, and destitute creatures, and now they were all receiving a good secular and religious education.—(Hear, hear.) It was impossible to calculate the advantage which the Ragged Schools conferred, unless one went into the districts from which the attendants of these schools jcame, and took the measure and gauge of the moral and physical degradation in which those who resided in such districts were placed ; and it was impossible to witness that state of degradation without feeling thank ful to God that already so many poor children had been rescued from it, and without feeling courage to go much farther with such a gdod work. The chief point to which he now wished to direct the attention of those assembled was, the great advantage which must arise from the establishment of a class of indus trial education. It was peculiarly necessary to teach these children habits of useful and profitable employ ment, for they were of a peculiar class and character, and totally unlike children born of honest, and indus trious, and hard-working parents ; accustomed as they were to vagrancy and violence of every kind, they required to have ideas of industry carefully im planted in their minds by showing them the advan tages that resulted from such a course. It was not difficult to effect that desirable object, for children who had come into the schools fqurteen months ago with no idea whatsoever of the advantages of indus trial occupation, were now fitted by the teachinz of the schools for any humble employment which might offer—(Cheers)—and trained to habits of industry, order, and sobriety.—(Hear, hear.) In the West minster " Ragged School" that fact was exhibited in a striking manner, inasmuch as the majority of the scholars were clothed in garments made by themselves.—(Cheers.) They had laid down as a rule in Westminster that, however ragged a child was when he entered into the school, he should remain so until he had learned to make things for himself. That might appear severity, but it held out an inducement to the child to make an effort, and when the advantageous results which followed the effort became apparent to him, he began to learn the value of industry. When they did not require things for themselves any further, they were desired to as sist their brothers or sisters, or colleagues, in this re spect, and thus good, moral, and kindly feelings were implanted in their minds ; feelings the very reverse of those which they entertained when they were, as they termed it themselves, "on the sneak," or " on tramp." He would earnestly request of those who were present to go down to Westminster and witness the effect of the system which had been established there, for it had been eminently successful.— (Cheers.) If in other schools it was advantageous to have a certain portion of the day devoted to industrial education, it was peculiarly desirable in these schools, which ware intended for a peculiar class, as far separated in their habits and ideas from the ordinary run of children, almost as any species of animal could be from another of its genus. Ile could state from his experience that nothing could present a greater contrast with the ordinary moral and social con iition of the children of honest hard working parents than the condition of those poor children, and industrial education for them was there fore the more desirable. He hoped that they would all continue their exertions, for after their best endea vours to improve the condition of those forlorn crea tures, there would still remain much to be done. — (His Lordship resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.) The SECRETARY then read the report, from which it appeared the girls attending the school were now constantly instructed in sewing and other plain work by many charitable ladies, who most kindly under took the office. it was also proposed to establish, as soon as sufficient funds were obtained, a system of in dustrial education for the boys. Several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the assembly separated. WHAT A GENTLEMAN MAY DO, AND WHAT HE MAY NOT DO.—He may carry a brace of partridges, but not a leg of mutton. He may be seen in the omnibus-box at the opera, but not on the box of an omnibus. He may be seen in a stall inside a theatre, but not at a stall outside one. He may dust another person's jacket, but must not brush his own. He may kill a man in a duel, but he mustn't eat peas with his knife. He may thrash a coalheaver, but he mustn't ask twice for soup. He may pay his debts of honour, but he need not trouble himself about his tradesmen's bills. He may drive a stage-coach, but he mustn't take or carry coppers. He may ride a horse as a jockey, but he mustn't exert himself in the least to get his living. He must never forget what he owes to himself as a gentleman, but he need not maid what he owes as a gentleman to his tailor. He may do anything, or anybody, in fact within the range of a gentleman—go through the Insolvent Debtors' Court, or turn billiard-marker; but he must never on any account carry a brown paper parcel, or appear in the streets without a pair of gloves.--comic Almanac.

CALLINGTON MINING COMPANT.—Yesterday the quarterly meeting of this company was held at the offices of Mr. Stainsby, 44, Finsbury- square. By the accounts submitted for the three months ending September last, it appeared that the reserve fund had increased to 6101. 19s. 6d., and that there was a credit of about 1,4001. This account had been considerably diminished by the fall in the price of lead. The sales of silver lead ore for the three months amounted to 5,9451. 9s. 7d., the silver ore to 31/. 16s. 9d., and the copper ore to 669/. 10s. The cash balance was 298/. 7s. 6d. The chairman said the directors had been considering over a dividend of ten shillings per share, but thought it had better be postponed a little longer, when they expected to make it twenty shillings per share. After some discussion the meeting adjourned.

Government, the present state of our financial affairs will not sanction such a . step, and that the repeal of the tax in question must be postponed a.' little, why, I would ask, should that cir cumstance induce any one to offer an impe diment to the sanitary Bill ? , If the Bill be like its predecessor of last session it will contain many valuable provisions ; and it would, I think, be unwise to oppose a measure which is con fessedly good, but which is not quite so perfect as it might be. Besides, I cannot but think that a little reflecion would convince any one that repeal of the window-tax, although very essential as'a part of a general sanitary scheme, would be a very poor sub stitute for the promised Bill. It would, in fact, be like beginning at the wrong end, for where is the use of giving facilities for increasing the number of wsadoevarlii.divelling-houses, laxder to admit more light and air, unless yOtk r -havet previously ta4n care' to remove the causes which tend to vitiate the air, such as imperfect drainage, accumulations of filth, &c. I remember recently attending a poor person in a lodging-house, and on expressing my surprise that the window was not opened to allow a little fresh air to enter the room, I was told that there was a filthy cesspool immediately beneath the window, the exha lations from which were so offensive when the window was open, that they were intolerable. Being desirous of ascertaining whether such was the fact, I raised the sash, but the effiuvia that entered soon induced me to close it. In a case like this—and similar ones may readily be found—uf what use would repeal of the window-tax be, as a single measure, and as a substitute for others It has, however, been shown, in evidence taken by the Health of Towns' Commissioners, that the win. dow- tax may be so modified as not to cause the evils which are attached to it in its present form ; and, should a total repeal be unattainable at present, this modification may probably be adopted. Allow me to apologise for occupying your columns, but I could not refrain from expressing my opinion that the real advocate of sanitary reform will not act consistently in endeavouring to counteract the phi lanthropic efforts of Lord Morpeth and the other members of Government, by proposing to substitute repeal of the window-tax as a preliminary step. Yours, obediently, JAMES ORWIN. Worcester, Dec., 1847. CHRISTMAS BOXES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I perceive, from several reports which have appeared in your paper from time to time, that a fierce agitation is being set on foot for abolishing Christmas boxes. May I, through your columns, call the attention of these conservators of the people's morals (qy. their own pockets ?) to one fact, which doubtless they have often, if not always, availed themselves of, viz., that there is no law which com pels the payment of them ? Then why attempt to imbue those who are generously inclined with their own selfish feelings, under the cant of morality ? Time-honoured custom has usually awarded them ; and long may they remain to provide the means of spreading joy and gladness where otherwise all would be cheerless. Thousands in this metropolis can look to this source alone to repay them for the day's work lost unto them, or to provide something, small though it may be, yet still sufficient to remind them of the festivities enjoyed by others. Again, wages are regulated with direct reference to the supposed emoluments receivable from this source in numerous places. May I ask these pseudo-moralists it; by abolishing these, they will not be abettors in defraud !lig men placed in such situations ? I will not trespass further, but trust to your well ,known sense of justice for some notice of this ; and remain yours obediently, AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT. Southampton-buildings, Dec. 20, 1847. DEFENCELESS STATE OF THE COUNTRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—l am glad that so great an authority as the Duke of Wellington has directed the attention of Government to the defenceless state of the country. I think much might be done to protect us without in creasing our intolerable taxation. Instead of having a few enormous naval establishments, why not have moderate-sized ones at the entrances of our principal rivers—the only vulnerable points—for no enemy would be so foolhardy as to attempt to lard on an exposed coast. I believe the Government are con templating something of the kind. I suggest, at the mouth of the Humber, as they have secured forty acres of land at the east side of the immense dock making at Grimsby. A militia would be of no use. It could not prevent half-a- dozen foreign war-steamers going up to Hull in the night, destroying the town and shipping, and departing before daylight. All rivers are not navigable in the dark, like the Humber, but several are, and these are where the enemy would annoy us. In the next war we shall suffer dreadfully in the destruction of property if our rivers are not defended ; but I cannot imagine that any enemy would attempt to conquer the country. If the Go vernment would consult Captain Washington and the other Tidal Harbour Commissioners, they would obtain some valuable information, which I greatly suspect they need. I have no objection to the people turning out as volunteers for a fortnight in a year to learn their exercise, but do not let us be burdened with a militia. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, A CONS UANT READER. THE WARDMOTES.—STATE OF THE POLLS.

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION. —Last evening, about a quarter before ten o'clock, a fire attended with a serious destruction of valuable property, broke out upon the extensive range of premises belonging to Messrs. Alfred Bennett and Henry Morton Burton, engineers and millwrights, carrying on business in Holland-street, Blackfriars-road, near Blackfriars-bridge, and fur some time it was feared that the whole of the property would have fallen a prey to the fury of the destructive element. Before e l e ven o'clock there could not have been less than severa l hundred square feet of prop e rty in one complete blaze.

Ldergraduate at _Oxford, ;erend) Daidelarrilse - Mary's a sermon did not advocate thy_ -the _ne of baptismal regeneration, his aermon wao unsavoury to the nostrils of the chiefs of the University, that it was not allowed to come forth to the publ*through that gauge of Oxford orthodoxy, the Clarendon Press_! The Bampton Lectures of X.W.--Hampdern "however, were treated with all due respect, having come forth to the world through the University press---a presumptive evidence that they contained nothing exceptionable; and during four years, after their having been thus introduced to society, not a word transpired that the Rev. Lecturer - had advanced any unsound or strange doctrine ; but the moment he was appointed Regius Professor of Divinity by the Whigs, the then concealed but sub st quently manirested Tractarians, who were also ultra- Tories, became enlightened all at once with regard to the Hampden Bampton Lectures, and then for the first time was heard the report of their containing un sound doctrine. flow came it to pass that these men never found out this unsound doctrine before ? They had heard the lectures, they had allowed them uninter ruptedly to pass through the Clarendon Press, and they had read them after they had 'so passed. The Protestant Pope of Exeter says that the author not being then in a position which would enable him to do mischief, these kten - sighted but good- natured men, who were aware of the erroneous doctrine from the very first, did not like to become accusers. This is the defence set up for their silence and reserve; but the error, which they subsequently pointed out for condemnation, was asserted to be one of a very grave character—an error subversive in effect of the whole fabric of Christianity, being a rejection of the "Chief Corner Stone." Were the men, then, who could allow such an error to remain unexposed, unopposed, and uncondetnned for four longyears—were these men, I say, who thus slumbered over such a dangerous doctrine, actuated by a nal concern "for the faith once delivered to the saints?" Was it such a feeling which induced them at length, after the lapse of four years' silence, to expoie this asserted false doctrine ? Nothing of the kind ; but party spirit—a politico-theologico party spirit—was the impulsive cause, and hence the tears drawn forth on the discovery of the unsound doctrine in question. I do not wish it to be understood, by what I have ad vanced, that I assert that the Hampden Bampton Lec tures do or do not contain erroneous doctrinal state ments, but my object is to exhibit to public notice - 4w - insincerity of the prornmers of Dr. Hampden's persecution; and the bitterness of their Spirit. They could hold their peace while it suited their purpose, though at the expense of the truth, but the instant an opportunity was presented them for damaging their political opponent, they availed themselves of it, wishing the world to believe that they were solely influenced in their proceedings by a sincere regard for the truth ; but all reflecting men perceived that they were acting under a cloak of maliciousness. I have not the honour of being personally ac quainted with Dr. Hampden, but what I know of him, through the medium of a common friend, a very pious brother clergyman, and from his letter to that friend, convinces me both of the soundness of his re ligious principles, and of the excellency of his Chris tian character, and I have no doubt of his proving a zealous and efficient overseer of the Church, and an ornament to the high station to which I consider he has been deservedly promoted.—l am, Sir, your obe dient servant, 21st December, 1847. S. PRESBYTER. TO THE BISHOP OF EXETER. MY LORD BISHOP OF EXETER,—The public were not a little surprised, when a letter which certain bishops addressed to Lord John Russell, on the appointment of Dr. Hampden to the see of Here ford, first appeared, to find that the signature of "H. Exeter" was not of that number. Conjectufe was rife; it was thought you might have had too much respect for the Crown to have opposed the " powers that be," or that your charity made you differ from your protesting brethren ; and hopes for a moment were entertained that you thought Dr. Hampden an ill-used man, and that you refused to join the bigoted cry, which was got up by the Tractarian zealots for party purposes. Twenty-four hours, however, dis pelled these pleasing illusions. The well-known cutting style, for which your Lordship's writings have obtained such an unenviable notoriety, appeared in all its glory in the next day's papers, and told a different tale. Your true character was then dis played, and while in strains of ac cus t ome d bi tterness you inveighed against the Premier for daring to nomi nate a man who had incurred your displeasure, and that of a majority of the Convocation of Oxford, you awoke in the minds of many (more especially of those who know your Lordship as well as the writer of this letter does) feelings of astonishment that you, of all men in the world, should give utterance to such lan guage as that of your letter to Lord John Russell on the appointment of Dr. Hampden. I say you, of all men in the world, for one of your chief grounds for attacking Dr. Hampden appears to be that he is still lying under the censure of the Oxford Convocation. Allow me then to ask, how comes it, when a certain Dr. Pusey was lying under the censure of an equally authoritative board at the same University, amongst all your brethren on the bench that you were the only one who despised their censure, scorned their ban, and went unnecessarily out of your way to allow that condemned theologian to preach in any pulpit in your diocese to which he could obtain an entrance; while at the same time the hebdomadal board at the University had sus pended him, on account of his unfitness as a teacher, from preaching, as far as their authority extended. And yet you condemn Dr. Hampden! Et to Brute Again, your Lordship hints at the harshness of the law which compels the Dean and Chapter of Here ford to obey the cong,e d'elire of the Queen under a most heavy penalty, and you display a most affecting degree of sympathy for the painful position in which they are placed, by being required to elect one whom you consider such an arch-heretic. But did not your conscience, at the time you were penning your volu minous dispatch, whisper that you yourself had once lived in a glass house, and that it ill became you to throw a stone ?—that after the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill the Dean and Chapter of Exeter were required, by a similar mandate from the Sove reign, to elect a certain Dr. Phillpotts as their future bishop ; and that it was very seriously considered at the time whether they should not resist the royal commands—though they, for their own sakes, wisely determined that discretion was the better part of valour, and obeyed ? And is it not a fact that at the time of your primary visit to the city of your epis copal see, that you were received—must I write it ? with the cathedral bells muffled t And yet you ad vise the Dean and Chapter of Hereford to refuse the Queen's conge d'elire! Et to Brute! Again, your Lordship ventures to attack the theo logical opinions of Dr. Hampden, and you assert that he is unfit to be a chief pastor in the Church of Eng land; but are you sound, I may ask, in all points ? Have you never attempted to draw aside from their " literal and grammatical sense " those articles of our Church which have a tendency towards Cal vinistic doctrines ? Is it not well known in the diocese that you boldly affirm of one of those articles, viz., the 17th, that it was foisted in to please a certain party in the Church at the time of the Reformation ? And yet you question Dr. Hampden's theology ! Et to Brute! Again, your Lordship quoting Scripture with your accustomed suavity, says "a bishop must be blame less." True, most true ; but I would ask, more in sorrow than in anger, have you never heard of a certain bishop in the west of E ng land, whose diocese about three years ago was in a flame in consequence of his abortive attempt to force upon an unwilling people the follies and vagaries of the Tractarian sys tem, and that happily just one grain of common sense was left him to see that, if persisted in, it would end in the disruption of the Church of England ?—that the consequence of his notorious advocac y of the Tractarians has been to emp t y thos e churches of which hifso r efollowers erthe have affections obta obtained very large body of d possession, and to people, who would otherwise have been with us, but alienate ever who are now against us ? And yet yeu insinuate that Dr. Hampden is not blameless, and must not be a bishop ! Et to Brsite ! It is not worth while to point out, at any great length, the sophistry so apparent in the lvo uminous dispatch, in which you have displayed so much acri mony towards a brother clergyman by an ill-concealed " Stand off, lam holier than thou ; or to express my surprise at the confidence (to use no h ars h er t erm ) in which you have expressed Minister of our beloved Sovereignyour will t o th e Chi e f in such sentetices as these :—" Persist not in your rash experiment !" " Forbear whil e you yet have time "—" Retrace your ,steps "—as if you were the Sovereign Lord or Pope of these realms. In conclusion, I beg to subscribe myself (of neces sity " stat nominis umbra" for I have a wife and children dependent on me for support, and my annual income from the Church is considerably less than you receive from the same source weekly), with every respect for the office you hold, ONE OF THE INFERIOR CLERGY OF THE DIOCESE OF EXETER. Dec. 15, 1847. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.•- - In consequence of the late very heavy rains, the directors have, we understand, issued orders to diminish the speed of the express trains over the Trent Valley Railway, which was recently completed, and opened for through traffic a few days ago, to that or the mail trains, during the winter months. The ordinary express speed which, on the old line, is forty miles an hour, will be, we learn, adopted on the Trent Valley Railway early in the spring.—Berapath's Journal. smig LONIJON, , .11 - 1 D AY DECEMBER , m„NING MBER 23, 1847.
