MANAGING DiaEcTou..--Mr. Richard Clark, 447, Strand This Company is formed to carry out upon a snore extensive scale the very valuable patented and other inventions connected with the production of light. Commercial undertakings are the best of any calculated to prosper, for while there is a certain restriction upon the income of railways and other spectiletions of the same kind, there is no bound to the exten , to which commerce can be carried. The improvements introduced by the patentee In connexion with lam, s and lighting in general. consist in the production of the ver tical, diamond, pearl, and other lamps of the most perfect construc tion for his country, survssing all British and foreign manufac tures; a complete set oN lamps for India and the colonies, and patent gas burgers, which, for illuminating power, are unapproached, and exhibit principles in science never before brought into practice in the production of light ',rum coal gas. The estimated value of the articles connected with the production of light annually told in the United Kingdom, and the manufacture and sale of which will engage the attention of the Company, is about 3.000,0001. And assuming that 100,0001. only of this trade falls into the Company's bands (an t xtremely low estimate), the Directors, after the most careful ca'culation, are satisfied that at least 20 per cent. per annum will be insured to the shareholders. The capital of the Company will become immediately reproductive in the extension of Its manufacturz - —the present returns exceeding 20,0001. per annum ; and a dividend will be p:'-yabie to the share holders at the end of the first six months. The eminent success attendant upon the adoption of commercial under takings similar to the present, such as gas companies, Price's Patent Candle Company, and others, afford a strong guarentee for the successful operation •f this Company. Applications for shares in the annexed form may be made to the Provisional Committee, at the offices of the Company, 36, Moorgate street, and 417, Strand; the Solicitor, 33, Essex street, Strand ; at Messrs.

REWS'S CHLORIDE OF Z INC, Cthe best and Cheapest Disinfecting Fluid for the purificatioin of Ship's Holds , Cess p ools, Drains, w water-closets, &c. ; the Dis n fection of Sick Rooms, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of Contagion. Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is now establish,d beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its applicaiion and innoxious in itself.

The Edinburgh, 58, Captain Hewlett, screw gunnery , ship, returned to Spithead from her cruise last night, and - is reported to have answered very satisfactorily. The Bulldog, 6, paddle-frigate, was commissioned pro tem., on Friday morning by Lieutenant George H. Clarke, First of the Blenheim, as the depot ship of the steam reserve squadron at the port. Forty seamen and marines of the Blenheim remain behind to bring forward the Dauntless (screw), 24, and Dragon (paddle), 6, steam-frigates, for commission. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert was hauled under the shears yesterday morning, and had her masts taken out, preparatory to being lengthened— a transfirmation which will cost as much, we suspect, as would f urn i s h h er M a j esty with a new yac ht. The Pl umper, 9, screw corvette, Commander Whar ton, was i nspected at Spithead yesterday by Vice-Ad miral Sir Th omas Cochrane, the Commander-in-Ch i ef, after which s h e took in her powder, now ready f or service. The Vulca n , screw troop-steamer, Commander Von Donop, arr i ve d at Spithead yesterday morning from Woolwich, t o em b ark draughts of the 10th, 36th, 39th, and 59th Regi ments, which the Sprightly steam-tender took out t o h er . S he sailed this evening. shell, &c., and is The artificers of this dockyard were given the half holyday to-day which they usually receive on the day of muster by the Lords of the Admiralty. The Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, was paid off in this harbour yesterday. The Antelope, 3, dispatch -packet, Lieutenant-Com , mander Young, was inspected Sir Thomas Cochrane on Friday evening, and yesterday morning she went to Spithead. U , SEPT. 10. The Lords of the Admiralty are O expec TH ted at Moors head's Royal Hotel, on Tuesday and Wednesday, when they will commence their annual inspection of the dock yard, the new steamyard at lieyham, the Royal William Victualling -yard, and the other public naval establish ments. On Wednesday they dine with Port Admiral Sir John Ommanney, and on Friday their Lordships patronize a ball at St. George's-hall, Stonehouse, in aid of the funds of the Royal British Female Orphan Asylum. Her Majesty's ship Harlequin, 12, Commander Arthur P. S. Willmott, which left Ascension the 24th of July, arrived here yesterday morning. In consequence of this long passage—seven weeks—her crew for the last fortnight have been put on short allowance of water. The Harlequin left Plymouth in December, 1850, and has been ever since actively employed in the suppres sion of the slave trade on the coast of Africa. Her boats have been engaged in many river expeditions, but she has made no captures since she has been in commission. Commander Willmott has, however, been a very suc cessful mediator in making treaties of peace among con flicting African tribes, and he and his crew have con ducted themselves very meritoriously in fixing a new false keel to the Teazer, 2, screw tender to the Commo dore, which got ashore near Sierra Leone. It was con sidered necessary by the carpenters of the Penelope to send the Teazer home, but Commander Wilmot, by main force, hauled her up 90 feet, high and dry, upon the beach, and completely repaired her. This extraor dinary effort, in such an unhealthy climate, has had its effects on the brig's crew, who, though not now ill of the fever, are suffering from weakness, especially their chief. The master, Mr. Earl, died in the spring of the year, when on detached service in the Volcano, 5, Commander Robert Coote, and Mr. Harris, acting master of the Waterwitch, 8, Commander Alan A. Gardiner, is now doing duty on board the Waterwitch. Lieutenant Commander W. R. A. Pearse, of the Athol, 4, storeship, having become sick, the First Lieutenant of the Waterwitch took charge of the Athol, and the Second Lieutenant of the Harlequin went first of the Waterwitch. Mr. T. B. Mitchell, acting mate of the Spy, Lieutenant-Commander H. B.Beresferd, is now acting lieutenant of the Harlequin. There have been no promotions in the brig during her absence. Commodore Bruce, in the Penelope, with the Crane, 6, Commander Thomas Miller, and the Myrmidon steamer, Lieutenant-Commander W. K. Jolliffe, was off the mouth of the Congo on the 6th of July. The Philomel, 8, Commander Skene, was towed out of harbour this morning by the Confiance steam-vessel, and took her powder in, preparatory to sailing for the coast of Africa. Those officers and seamen of the Ajax, 58, screw steam-ship, Captain M. Quin, who have been three years in commission were paid off yesterday, and she was re commissioned to-day by Captain Frederick Warden. The apprentices' brig Nautilus, 6, tender to the Im pregnable, Lieutenant-Commander Samuel B. Dolling, came into harbour yesterday to refit. The crew of tie Daedalus, 20, Captain Wellesley, sent down lower yards and topmasts on Thursday, and unmasted her to-day. She will be paid off on Tuesday. The brigs Scorpion and Mariner are ordered to be commissioned at the port. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 10. Secretary's Clerk.—Edward Faulkner (1847), to the Impregnable, 104, flagship of Admiral Sir J. A. Om manney; K.C.8., at Devonport. Clerk. —Richard F. Wily (1852), to the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, screw steam-ship, at Devonport. Byron Stratford, H. F. Alldricks, John Rivers, and F. A. Miles, have been appointed clerks'-assistants. Lieutenant John Trevenan (1850), recently serving in the Vulcan, has received his appointment to serve in the sloop Arab, 12, at Chatham. The Rifleman, 8, screw steam gun-vessel, is getting rapidly on with her refitting, and will be out of the hands of the dockyard and ready for commission in about a month from this time. The Violet, iron padle-wheel Dover mail steam packet, of 120-horse power, Lieutenant Commander Henry P. Jones, arrived here on Friday afternoon from Dover, to have some repairs effected. The c r ew re turned on the following day by railway to Dover. MALTA, SEPT. 2. Advioes from Besika Bay to the 25th of August state that there was a decided improvement in the health of the crews of the British squadron. The Bellerophon, Captain Lord G. Paulet, however, had an unusual num ber of sick on board, and continued at Tenedos. The Sampson, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Jones, was at Imbros. The Firebrand, 6, paddle-frigate, Captain Parker, which was relieved at Constantinople by the Inflexible, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Popplewell, had been dis patched from Besika, to visit Smyrna, Beyrout, Jaffa, and Alexandria, and to rejoin the fleet by the end of September. The Modeste, 14, Commander Lord W. Compton, left Malta on the 25th of August, for Naples and Leghorn. The Wasp, which arrived from Corfu on the 27th, with the lonian and Greek mails, left with the return mails on the 29th. NEW CLIPPER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN TRADE. A splendid new iron first-class sailing vessel is build ing, and now nearly completed, at the Bank Quay Foundry, Warrington, winch has been an object of attention and curiosity to travellers for some months past. Following the course of the river, Warrington is not less than 30 miles from Liverpool ; and thousands of people travelling by the London and North-Western Railway through the town, and seeing a huge ship of 2,500 tons burthen on the stocks, without perceiving the water near, have naturally asked "how and where is it to be launched ?" Many of these persons in the ab sence of any certain knowledge have speculated on the subject, and supposed that it was a vessel fitting together in parts, as iron houses and churches are for the colonies to be taken to pieces again, and removed in a more con venient form. The fact is, however, that the river Mersey flows past the foundry, and though insignificant in width, something like the Thames at Henley, it has tides which give a considerable depth of water. The vessel is building at a bend of the river, so that she will be launched not across but up the river, in a straight reach of the stream, up which she may run 'Jaffa mile if necessary, with ample depth and space. The present vessel, named the Tayleur, after the head of the firm who builds her, is to be built, completed, and delivered in Liverpool within six months froni the laying dawn of her keel, and the company have orders for other large vessels to take her pla ce on the stocks a soon as she is launched. Sheis of built for Messrs. Charles Moore and Co. of Liv er p oo l , and i of exceedingly handsome model. Her proportions are : 2,500 tons (new measurement) ; length and fore rake, 225 feet ; r a k e o f stern -post keelr. feet ; beam, 39 feet ; depth of hold (from under side of 2 of the feet 6 inches. deckto tospheof has t threeheflo d or e in ?k g) e , , 28 feet ; boose on the upper deck, an d saloon, with c w ab it i h ns ca a ra nd . berths for captain and principal officers She is double rivetted throughout, an d w i ll be the strongest-built . craft afloat, being divided into five water-tight compartments, each fitted with pumps. The total quantity of iron' about her is c a l cu l ated at about 780 tons. She has an enormous box keelson, running fore and aft, 2 feet 6 inches by 2 feet, which will carry 25 tons of water, with pump at one end to render it available for use, whilst in the meantime it will serve as ballast. The beams are of great strength, and at intervals only 12 inches apart, the beams to the lower deck being 9 inches deep and half inch thick ; of main deck, 8 inches by half inch ; and of upper and spar deck, 7 inches by 7-16ths. The height between decks is 6 feet 6 inches on first and second decks, leaving 15 feet for hold, with stancheons running perpendicularly through her, 3 feet 6 inches apart, and of 3i inches in diameter. There are con venient openings in the sides for taking in cargo, and the 'tween decks are well fitted with skylights and ven tilators, the securing to passengers as much light and air as possible having apparently been a matter of great care with the designer of the ship. The lower mast, 94 feet long, are of iron, with transverse plates inside, running from top to bottom, and the top-gallant fore castle is plated with iron up to the top. The accommo dation for the seamen in the forecastle is to be of a very superior and unusual character. Altogether, she is sald to be the largest iron merchant vessel ever built, giving accommodation for about 680 passengers besides cargo. " "we AIL N CE. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. The di ors of this company have issued a report on the procee 'ngs in Chancery instituted by Mr. Geach, Mr. Scott, nd others against them, to be considered at the special meeting of proprietors, called by requisition, at Shrewsbury, on Wednesday, the 21st inst. They state that the proprietors ire already sufficiently acquainted with the charges brought against the directors by the parties so deeply implicated in London and North- Western interference with the affairs and independent management of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany ; that these parties have thought it not unbecom ing. to transmit, not only to the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham shareholders, but to those of the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, copies of the bill filed by them in Chancery—a bill which the proprietors are called upon to sanction and prosecute, notwithstanding the refusal of the Vice-Chancellor (Sir W. P. Wood) to make any order on the subjects embraced in it ; not one of the numerous assertions affecting the honour and integrity of the board having been sustained. The directors re commend an appeal to the Board of Trade, as likely to reach the truth more directly and speedily than any other arbitration ; Mr. Scott, for reasons only known to himself, objected to any reference, save to himself and the three gentlemen who were acting with him as accusers, counsel, jury, and judges. The Vice-Chan cellor fully ooncurred with the directors in the pro priety of calling in the Board of Trade, and unequivo cally gave his opinion that it remained with the plaintiffs to ;show why that course had not been adopted. The report concludes by stating that a proxy paper is enclosed, having for its object the immediate and definitive settlement of the question whether pay ment of Mr. Scott's expenses shall be ordered by this company or left for liquidation by the London and North-Western Company, the real promoters of the suit. The directors might well have called for a stronger con damnation of the interference and oppression to which the company has been subjected ; but, believing that the future interests of the proprietors will be best consulted by a quiet yet resolute disapproval of these proceedings, a simple negative to the demands of the requisitionists is considered sufficient for the emergency, leaving it open at the forthcoming election, in accordance with the suggestion of the Vice-Chancellor, for any shareholder to " state what his view is of what has been disclosed on the affidavits and statements which have been made in this case."

" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex oerienced by taking BLA'S GOUT and RHEMATIC PILLS, f feel that I sun but performi lß ng a duty to that por U tion of the public who may bo similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va iety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro .ured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential rel'ef, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. 1 lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that momen t, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to ale is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic hay. zeased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. oreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf tered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result nas always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, "GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand."

LONDON. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Yesterday the Sunday Times published the offi cial reply of the Earl of Clarendox to the circular note of Count Nesselrode. Through what channel that journal has obtained this important document which all the persuasion of both Houses of Parlia ment could not induce the Ministers to make public we are unable to say, but there can be no doubt as to its authenticity. The dispatch in question is addressed by the Earl of Clarendon to Sir G. H. Seymour, her Majesty's Ambassador at St. Petersbargh ) and is as follows: " THE EARL OF CLARENDON TO BM a. H. SEYMOUR. "Foreign Office, July 16, 1853. " Sir—The Baron Brunow has communicated t 6 me the circular dispatch addressed by the Count de Nessel rode to the legations of Russia, bearing date the 20th June (2d July), 1853. • " 1t would give me much pain to express to you the astonishment and regret with which the Government of her Majesty has seen the declaration contained in that dispatch, that it was in consequence of the refusal of England and France to yield to the recommendation of the Russian Government, and in consequence of the entry of their fleets into the waters of Turkey, that the occupation of the Principalities had taken place. " The passages of the dispatch containing that extra ordinary assertion are the following "' In placing this ultimatum before the Porte, we had more particularly informed the cabinets of the great powers of our intentions. We had especially appealed to France and Great Britain not to complicate, by their attitude, the difficulties of the situation • not to take measures too hastily, that, on the one hand, might have the effect of encouraging opposition on the part of the Porte, and, on the other, might engage more deeply than had hitherto been the case the honour and the dig nity of the Emperor. " ' On the other side, the two maritime powers have not thought it their duty to yield to the consideration which we have recommended to their serious attention. Taking before us the initiative, they have judged it in dispensable to precede immediately, by an effective mea sure, those measures which we only announced as purely eventual, since we made the carrying of them into effect depend on the final resolutions of the Porte, and because at the very moment when I write, the execution thereof has not yet begun. They immediately sent their fleets into the waters of Constantinople. They already occupy the seas and ports of the Ottoman dominion at the gates of the Dardanelles. By that advanced attitude the two powers have placed us under the weight of a threatening demonstration, which, as we had predict e d t o th em, may add to the crisis new complications. " ' In presence of the refusal of the Porte, supported by the manifestations of France and England, it becomes more than ever impossible for us to modify the resolu tions that the Emperor has made dependent on them. In consequence, his Imperial Majesty has sent to the corps of our troops stationed at this moment in Bessa rabia the order to pass the frontier, and to occupy the Principalities. " I may observe, in the first place, with reference to the first of these passages, that the dispatch of Count de Nesselrode, addressed under date of the first of June to the Baron Brunow, had not been brought to the knowledge of the Government of her Majesty before the Bth of June, and, consequently, the orders forwarded a week previously to Admiral Dundas to repair to the environs of the Dardanelles had not been issued, as pre tended in the circular of Count de Nesselrode, after the considerations were made known to the British Govern ment. But had it even been different, and had the orders not been issued, it was still impossible for the Government of her Majesty to think that the menace to occupy the Principalities would not be carried into effect in consequence of the adherence on the part of the Porte to the rejection of those clauses which a few days before it had rejected without hesitation. " Consequently, on the Bth of June, the Government of her Majesty could not but consider the occupation of the Principalities as inevitable, and they think that the cabinet of St. Petersburg will not now pretend that the note of Count de Nesselrode to Redschid Pacha con tained merely a simple menace, which it was never seri ously proposed to carry into effect. It is a fact, more over, that the note of Count de Nesselrode of the date of the 31st May, containing the communication of the hostile intentions of Russia, would suffice of itself to authorise the Government of her Majesty to take mea sures for the protection of Turkey. " I will endeavour now to establish at what period and on what motives the British fleet was sent into the waters of Turkey. The Prince Menschikoff, acting, as we must believe, by order of his government, has declared in his note of the sth May, of which a copy was received in London on the 18th of the same month, that all fur ther delay to adopt his propositioneirehitive to the Greek Church would be considered by him only 'as a want of respect towards his government, which would impose on him the most painful obligations.' "And accordingly, in his note of the 11th May, of which a copy was received in London on the 30th of the same month, the Prince Menschikoff said, that in case of an unsatisfactory decision by the Porte, 'lf the principles which formed the basis (of the articles under discussion) are rejected—if by a systematic opposition the Sublime Porte persists in withholding itself from an intimate and direct understanding, he must consider his mission as terminated, inter rupt his relations with the cabinet of his Majesty the Sultan, and cast upon the responsibility of his ministers all the consequences which may result therefrom.' And , in fine, in his note dated the 15th of May, received London on the Ist of June, Princ e M enschiko ff con cludes with these words :—' It remai ns f or the sa gacity highness with all theirto weighwei theweight on incalculable the ece consequences v t d of e h in e and the great calamities which may result and w hi c h menaces menaces, ofw yillofuarll ministers of his Majesty the Sulta n . " On responsibility power whose independence Russia h erself had dec l are d her n one determination hand, to these maintain—these reiterated addressed with the intention of sustaining t he say towards w e a , demands so little conformable to the assurances g i ven to the Government of her Majesty; and, on the lother hand, the great armaments, military and naval, which during months were carried forward on the very frontiers of Tnrkey, left no longer any doubt in the minds of the Government of her Majesty upon the imminent danger in which the Sultan was upon the point of being placed. They deeply regretted that that danger resulted from the acts of the Russian Government, which was a con tracting party to the treaty of 1841 ; but as the Govern ment of her Majesty entertains now as firmly as in 1841 the principles laid down in that treaty, andas they think that the maintenance of the peace of Europe is engaged in the conservation of the Ottoman empire, they have felt that it was time for them to be ready (in the interest of peace itself) to protect the Sultan. On learning, then, the sudden departure of Prince Menschikoff, they took the determination to place the British fleet, which at that time had not quitted Malta, at the disposition of her Majesty's Ambassador at Constantinople. "On the Ist of June the Government addressed to Lord Stratford de Redcliffe a dispatch authorising him, upon certain specified occurrences, to send for the fleet, which, in such case, would sail for whatever place might be indicated for it. On the 2d of June they forwarded to Admiral Dundas instructions that he should repair immediately to the neighbourhood of the Dardanelles, and place himself in communication with her Majesty's ambassador. "The evening before we received a copy of the note of Prince Menschikoff, dated the 18th of May, in which he announced that his mission had terminated, and that the refusal of the guarantee demanded ' would hence forth impose on the Imperial Government the necessity of finding it in her own proper force.' " On the 2d of June I brought to the knowledge of Baron Brunow the measure taken by her Majesty's Go vernment. That measure could not have been commu nicated by him at St. Petersburgh before the 7th or the Sth, and, consequently, it could not have the least in fluence on the decision taken by the Russian Govern ment ; whilst the note by which Count Nesselrode an nounced to Redschid Pacha that ' within some weeks his troops would receive the order to pass the frontier of the empire,' was dated the 31st May, and his dispatch to Baron Brunow, in which he said that, if the Porte did not sign Prince Menschikoffs note within a week, counting from the reception of his note by Redschid Pacha, the Emperor ' would give orders to his troops to occupy the Principalities, • • ' • ' bore the date of the Ist of June. "It results, evidently, from that which precedes, that the British fleet has not been sent into the waters of Turkey out of disregard of the consider ations submitted to her Majesty's Government by the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, and that the de cision to occupy the Principalities had been taken by the Russian Government on the eve of the depar ture from London of the instructions directed to Vis count Stratford de Redcliffe. And that decision, we say, had been taken because the Russian Government could not seriously, even for a moment, entertain the hope to see the Porte give its adhesion to the clauses, ' without variation,' (les clauses sans variante), which respect for its proper dignity and the interest of its security had, a very few days before, imposed on it the obligation to decline. Nevertheless, Count Nesselrode asserts, in his circular dispatch of July 2, that the presence of the English and French fleets in the Bay of Besika, has, above all, provoked and entirely justified the occupation of the Principalities ; he pretends that these fleets are almost in view of the capital —that they are hardly 200 miles distant, and that the maritime oc cupation by there fleets of the ports and waters of the Turkish dominion, could only be counterbalanced by a military occupation on the part of Russia. "But her Majesty's Government must protest against that assertion in the most forcible terms ; they deny the existence of any similitude between the position of the of the Russian united fleets in Besika Bay an d that armies in the Principalities. The fleets have the . same right to anchor at Besika as they have to moor in every other port in the Mediterranean. By their presence in these waters no treaty is transgre ssed, no territory is violated, no principle of the law of nations is disre garded; the independence of the Ot toman Empire is not menaced by it, and, assuredly, it ought not to be a motive of offence to Russia. On the contrary, I t l i i e o s n l a t o i o f o f n t t h h e e of lawh r P ts h l t e e t u o tpe c r is c un pion iapvton t c oe il frr m i l nt i o t a i ryt e i s o no y ta ß hne u d s s s l a i and of the special t reaty concerning that part of his dominions ; it const i tutes an infraction of of direct hostility against the Sultan, to which he would have the right to respond by a declaration of war and a requisition to the allied squadrons to advance to Constantinople for her defence. That occupation constitutes, in fine, an act so dangerous, considered a s a precedent, and an act so violent on the part of a powerful state against another whose very feebleness ought to be its protection, that it has exerted through. out all Europe sentiments of alarm and reprobation. To admit that there exists any resemblance, or that there could be established with reason any comparison whatever between the position of the English and French fleets without the Dardanelles, and that of the Russian armies within the Principalities, is evidently impossible. "It is with profound regret that her Majesty's Go vernment sees itself in the necessity of expressing their opinions with respect to the recent invasion of the Turkish territory ; but they think that in abstaining from doing so they would have been wanting in their duty, and would render more difficult, in future, their intervention for the defence and maintenance of treaties, which constitute the international law of Europe, and the only effectual guarantees of the general peace and of the rights of nations. "The sufferings that the occupation of the Princi palities must occasion to the inhabitants will be doubt less alleviated by the Russian Government taking upon itself all the weights of that occupation. Having so many times and at such length discussed the demands addressed by Russia to the Sublime Porte, it does not appear to me necessary to dwell upon the other passages in Count de Nesselrode's circular dispatch, which, indeed, contains no new fact or argument in favour of his demands. I must, however, express the conviction of her:Majesty's Government that the cabinet of St. Petersburgh is altogether in error in asserting that the Porte is little disposed to satisfy the just de mands of Russia, or that it seeks to evade the engage ments made with her. If that imputation were true, her Majesty's Government would not have failed to use all the influence they possess to induce the Porte to re cognise its engagements suitably. But the Government has no more knowledge of such violation of the engage. ments in question on the part of Turkey than they have of those numerous arbitrary acts of the Ottoman Govern. ment by which, as it is pretended, the rights of the Greek Church have been violated, and which have me naced even to overturn the order of things sanctioned by time, and so precious to the orthodox Church. Russia demands, in • favour of her co-religionists in the East, the strict status quo, and the maintenance of the privileges which they have enjoyed under the protection of their Sovereign. But Count Nesselrode dispenses entirely with the explanation in what manner that status quo has been disturbed—how those privileges have been impaired —what complaints have been made—what wrongs have remained unredressed. Her Majesty's Government has the knowledge of but one offence committed by the Turkish Government against Russia, and that offence has been repaired to its satisfaction, with the consent of Prince Menschikoff, at the same time that the last firman by which the Sultan confirms the privileges and immunities of the Greek Church was received with great gratitude by the Patriarch of Constantinople. Where, then, are the reasons which, as the Count de Nesselrode asserts, will justify in the eyes of impartial Europe the position taken at this moment by Russia ? " Count Nesselrode adds that Russia, thanks to its geographical situation, and to its treaties, possesses vir tually the right to protect the Greek Church in the East. If it is so, and if that right (whatever may be its nature and extent) is not interrupted, it is Russia that puts its existence or its validity in doubt by striving to constrain the Porte to new engagements. If the ancient rights exist, and if they are respected by Turkey, Russia has no motive for complaint against Turkey. But if Russia seeks to give a greater extension to its rights, then Tur key, on its side, has the right to examine closely the nature of the new demands, and to refuse such of them as are incompatible with its independence and its dig nity. I. ‘ Her Majesty's Government receives with sincere satisfaction the new assurances that the policy of his Imperial Majesty, as well as the interest of Russia, re quires the maintenance of the order of things existing in the East ; and as the interests of Turkey render it ne cessary for it to observe its engagements towards Russia, her Majesty's Government flatter themselves that Rus sia will not wish (by endeavouring in actual circum stances to insist upon demands that the Porte ought not to admit) to prolong a crisis which may render ine vitable consequences that Europe has so great an interest in avoiding. _ _ " You ;:re authorised to read this dispatch to Count Nesselrode, and even to give a copy thereof to his excel. lency, " I am, &c., (Signed) " CLARENDON." THE ARMY. THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIR CHARLES NAPIER, G.C.B. The following very gratifying Memo. was issued in garrison orders on Saturday by Colonel Menzies, com mandant of Royal Marines : " Royal Marine Barracks, Sept. 10, 1853. " The late Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier's family request the Commandant to make known to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates of the Royal Marines, who attended the funeral, the grateful sense entertained by them for that tribute of respect ; and to observe that he served in action with the Royal Marines, and always spoke of their courage, their dis cipline, and many honourable forbearance at times of difficulty and moments of temptation, with the warmest admiration ; and to Lieut.-General Sir Wm. Napier, K.C.8., and all his family, the attendance of the Royal Marines was a grateful spectacle." GARRISON ORDER. :'!The garrison chapel will be hung with black, and all officers with crape round their arms, as a tribute of re spect for the deceased Sir Charles Napier. The Com mandant of the garrison (Colonel Menzies, K. 11., of the Royal Marines) desires to give publicity to the following letter which he has had the honour of receiving from Lieutenant-General Lieutenant-General Napier, asir b e r h o a. th s ertothe late Napier, G.C.B, whose funeral took place on Thursday last : " Oatlands, S e pt. 8, 1853 . "Sir,—Allow me to offer to yourself an d s t a ff th e i e Sir ti t grateful tribute of the late Sir Charles N a pi er ' s f am il y, distinguished L officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldi ers , w h o and to express a hope that you will ma k e k nown to the attended his funeral, what I in vain attampted to give expression to at the time. I meant to say that a great and good soldier was in his grave : a man who had from his earliest youth been a soldier, loving them, serving with them, fighting and bleeding with them (for the poor shattered body before them had seven deep wounds) ; but neither wounds, nor suffering, nor danger quelled his spirit ; that was not in man's power, Death only could do it ? That in his old age he commanded armies, and led them always to victory. Neither in youth, nor in manhood, nor in his aged years, did he ever cease to love and cherish and confide in soldiers ; and never had he r eason t o repent, for never did they fail him or any general who confided in them. " And now they thronged around his grave to do honour to the dead man who, when living, they had, by their courage, devotion, and discipline, raised to re nown. "He could not thank them, but I, who knew his in most feelings, did so in his name, and beg of them to pray for him, and I will pray for them. " Sir, these are sincere feelings, and I pray of you and all under your command to accept the expressions of them. (Signed) " W. NAPIER, Lieut.-General.

The report of the directors of this company to be sub mitted to the shareholders states that the expenditure of 10,722/. on capital account has been incurred chiefly in liquidation of outstanding land claims and for plant which was sanctioned at previous meetings. The bill for converting the debenture and mortgage debt into stock obtained the Royal assent on the 14th of June last. The loans falling due at Martinmas, on most of which 5 per cent. is payable, have been either re newed or replaced at 31 per cent. An agreement has been made with the Electric Telegraph Company for extending their communication to Perth, so as to put this line in connexion with their system in Great Britain. The Telegraph Company are to furnish the requisite apparatus, and also to provide clerks to work the telegraph at Perth, Stirling, and Greenhill Junction, for an annual payment of 41, per mile per annum. The receipts during the past half-year ending the 31st ofJuly, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, show an increase in respect of passengers and mails of 1,5851., in respect of goods to 2,1601,, and miscellaneous matters of 191., making the total increase 3,764/. The working expenses exhibit an excess over the correspond ing period of 1852 of 8061. The receipts for the half year ending the 31st of January, 1852, amounted to 47,3321., and the expenses to 21,4131. ; ending the 31st ofJuly, 1852, to 47,668/., and the expenses to 21,313/. ; ending the 31st of January, 1853, to 54,5111., and the expenses to 20,6591. ; and for the half-year ending 31st of July, 1853, the receipts amounted to 51,4321., and the expenses to 22,7101. ; the per centage of expenses on receipts being respectively 45, 44, 38, and 44 per cent. The balance from the last account amounted to 10,1681., and the balance of net revenue, after deducting working expenses and preference shares amounted to 17,3631., making a total of 25,5311. Out of this sum the directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. (20,4001.) on the consolidated stock be declared payable on the 26th inst., leaving 7,131/. for the nextaccount. The in terest on the preference stock amounts to 4s, 1 0. per share. The receipts for the year ending the 31st of July amounted, exclusive of the Tay ferries, to 105,9441., and the expenses and preference charges to 66,8841., leaving 39,0601. The dividend declared in January last amounted to 20,4001., the dividend now recommended amounts to 20,4001., together 40,8001., and showing that, in order to pay a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, 1,7401. is required to be taken from the reserve fund. Seeing the prospects of an increase of traffic, the direc tors feel they would not be doing justice to the property were they to recommend a less rate of dividend. The _ . ......._ capital account shows that 1,656,8311. had been received, and 1,678,6271. expended, leaving a balance of 21,7961. against the company. The loan account shows that 417,3221. had been borrowed, of which 32,5001. was borrowed at 5 per cent., 3,8301. at 41 per cent., 221,2221. at 4 per cent., 10,0001. at 31 per cent., and 149,7701. at 31 per cent. The locomotive expenses of engines and. carriages for passenger trains amounted. to 10 . 61 d. per mile per train, and for goods trains to 9.07 d. The con sumption of coke for passenger trains averaged 141 b. 140 z., and for goods trains 2241 b., the average being 181 b. lloz. per mile per train. The number of carriages in the passenger trains was 6.1, and of waggons in goods trains 18.9. The revenue account showed that 51,9551. had been received during the half year, and 22,7101. ex pended, leaving a balance of 29,2451. ; out of which 11,0591. is deducted for interest on bonds, 3001. for Par liamentary expenses, and 5231. out of debt on Tay ferries, leaving a balance of 17,4031. GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND. The report of the directors of this company states, tha they have called'an extraardinary meeting of th e share holders for the 7th of October. to bring under their notice the arrears of calls which exist on certain of the original or postponed shares of the company. Calls to the amount of 41. per share had been responded to by the holders of 15,440 postponed shares, of which 14,376 were trans ferred to persons who have not since paid the remaining calls, and who, it is believed, have no means of doing so. Persons who have come forward with offers to purchase these 14,376 shares at a discount not exceeding 30s. per share, and have proposed at once to pay up the remain ing calls by anticipation. The directors recommend the shareholders to confirm the forfeiture of these shares, and that they be allotted to the proprietors of shares whose calls are not in arrear, in the proportion of one for feited share to every two shares held by the proprietors. For each forfeited postponed share of 101. the purchase price is to be Si., of which 41. is in anticipation of calls, and to be in full of the price of each of the shares. The purchasers are to be entitled to interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the 41. paid in anticipation of calls, such interest to date from the payment of the pur chase price, and to continue until the line is open for traffic from Kittybrewster, near Aberdeen, to Huntly, when the forfeited shares will rank along with the other postponed shares. Such of the forfeited shares as may not be taken up by the shareholders are to be sold or disposed of at the discretion of the directors, at a dis count to the railway company not exceeding 30s. per share. The works on the line are beingproceeded with, and it is confidently believed that the 40 miles com mencing near Aberdeen will be open for traffic by Mid summer, 1854.

CAR Active step s are being H taken D . to carry the act of the last session f or th e construction of this line into effect. Two previ ous acts were passed, authorising the forma tion of the Chard Railway, one in 1846 and another in 1847, and the bill recently enacted revives and amends the powers of the former acts, and authorises the exten sion of the railway to Taunton. It is expected that the important district through which the Chard Railway is to pass will furnish a remunerative return. The works 1 between Chard and Taunton will shortly commence, and the company are pledged to complete the line in three years, or forfeit 1,875/. to the consolidated fund. THE HEAD SCHOOLMASTER IN PORTSMOUTH DOCK. YARD.—Mr. Rawson, the head master of the school for Royal Naval Shipwright Apprentices, in Portsmouth dockyard, who has been appointed the successor of Dr. Woolley in directing the mathematical strdies of the school of mathematics and naval construction, is well known in Manchester by his mathematical attainments. He is entirely a self-taught man, and worked in a coalpit, as a common collier, till he was nearly 30 years of age. He subsequently gave instructions in mathema tics in Manchester ; taught himself French, in order to be able to read "Le Mecanique Celeste" of Laplace, the works of Lagrange, Poisson, and other French as tronomers and mathematicians ; and at the same time extended his own original inquiries into the higher and more abstruse regions of mathematical science.
