With the view of embracing within this system the chief towns and places of this great country, the Universal Electric Telegraph Com pany contemplate establishing district offices for the reception and transmission of messages upon the principle of radiation. A diagram, to be had on application, exemplifies the contemplated development of the principle. There a-e upwards of 800 towns or places in the United Kingdom containing more than 2,000 inhabitants, to all or most of which it is proposed to carry the lines of communication as speedily as pos-ible. 2. An uniform charge of 6d. per message (not exceeding 20 'words) to any of the Company's stations. This great reduction the Com pany is enat led to effect by reason of the inexpensive construction of its lines as id stations, and the improved method of working. 3. The Message is written by the Telgraphic Instrument itself.— The message leaves the Telegraph wraten on paper by the instru ment itself, in clear and distinct characters. This process would enable any person, if desirous, to perpetuate an accurate record of the message itself, and the precise time at which it was received, which, in matters of stat, legal, monetary, or mercantile intercourse, must be of inconceivalile advantage. 4. Simalaneous transmission of the Message to all or any number of the Radiating stations, without intermediate operators.—This Is effected by the patented "Automaton ►°epeater," by means of which an unlimited number of towns may "e communicated with by the same electric touch. 5 Extreme Simplicity. —one wire only is used, and the mechanical lrrailreirient of the apparatus generally is of the simplest possible character. 6. Superior insulators.—The difficulties hitherto attendant upon endeavours to insulate the ov.rground wires in this country, have seriously impeded the full de elopment of the telegraphic system, and have led to the very exteisive practice of laying wires under ground enveloped in gutta percha. These difficulties are overcome by the patented insulators, which, ith the joint operation of the automaton repeaters, render the overgro find wires capable of efficiently transmitting the message to an unlimited distance, at so low an electric working power, that the cost is comparatively trifling. 7. Greatly increased Itapldity of Operation.—This is attained by means of an apparatus entirely new, which Wings Into play the posi tive and negative currents of electricity with as much facility as the one current by exiqing metho Is. 8. One operator only required at each telegraph. This System re quires only o,e person to each in,trumenc, thus effecting a saving of one-half in the usual staff of operators. 9. The most pet feet AccuracY.—This is ensured by the absence of quivering pointers or needles, which are apt to mislead—by compen sating the action of atmospheric electricity—and by abstaining from the use of complex chemical mixtures, liable to fail in their opera tion—thus the numerous and important mistakes so often made in the transmission of messages, and so much complained of at present, will be altogether obviated. Again, a message transmitted to any given destination, may not only he written there, but, by means of a second wire, may be simultaneously written at its original starting place, the sender is thus enabled to assure himself at once that his message has been correctly forwarded. It is impossible to overrate the value of the security thus afforded to commercial communi cations. Arrangements have been made for vesting the patent rights in trus tees for the Company. Application will be made to Parliament for an Act o' Incorpora tion to enable the Company to carry out the foregoing objects. In the meantime the Company will be formed under a deed cf settle ment pursuant to the JoiPt Stock Companies Acts, in which is em. bodied the usual limitation of liability clause. The estimates have been carefully prepa ed and considered, and the Directors feel confident of a highly remunerative return for the capital iny. sted. It is intende to commence telegraphing so soon as any section of the work is completed, by which means income will be obtained upon OF. very first expenditure. Proposed a ,, ff of Char es.—An uniform rate of Cd. per message (not exceeding 20 words) to any of the Company's A-diens, and one halfpenny for each additional word.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist once secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfluitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management wnich cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is tl'e only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. - In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to read the names of the directors, and inquired if any person was prepared to name a gentleman to succeed Mr. East, Mr. MALINS thought it most undesirable that the ' directors should retire in a body, and moved that Mr. East be requested to accept the office of director. Mr. MOORE understood that the directors were to have submitted a list of names to the meeting ; and if they were not prepared to do so, he would suggest an adjournment to this day fortnight. (No, no.) Mr. SHEPPARD said that some time ago he brought 1 forward the names of several parties, but they had de clined to act. A SHAREHOLLER suggested that at least seven names should be proposed before any election took place. If more than seven were given in, then a selection might be made. Mr. LEACH held in his hand a list which had been dis ysheafrethhoeldmerse,mbaenred h o a f d t r e h e eceuisyseedd b t board. He understood that measures were in progress for improving the position of the company, and as those by many macy llf approval the of many measures might result in the junction of the board with many influential persons connected with the shipping interest, he did not think it very important that the new board should consist of that class, and should be satisfied if they were men of busiziess and honour. The list which he was about to move comprised three mem bers of the old board, and four gentlemen from the body of the meeting. The old members were Messrs. East, Kennedy and Sheppard ; the new ones, Messrs. Maims, Henry Tootal, Davis, and Jackson. He believed all these gentlemen to be perfectly competent, and that they would act together. (Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN then put the name of Mr. East to the meeting. (From the Daily .News.) The evidence of Mr. Pulling before the Commis sion of Inquiry into the state of the City Corpora tion is worth referring to, as it contains many de tails concerning the nature of the corporation in ancient times which are not generally known. Mr. Pulling directed attention to a fact which is seldom taken into consideration, except by pro fessed antiquaries, that at an early date the corpo ration of London—and he might have added all corporations—had stood in a peculiar position to wards the state, a position which it was impossible that it could occupy at the present day. It had, he said, possessed very extensive powers, which appeared to have rendered it in some measure in dependent of the Crown. This may surprise many , who are not acquainted with the history of muni cipal institutions both here and on the continent, but the fact is patent enough to all who have con sulted the early charters of the City and other cor porations. It appears at the first reading of these that the cities treated, as independent powers, with the sovereigns who granted or con firmed the charters. In one of the earliest— that granted to the citizens of London by the Con queror—we may see this. William confirms the citizens in all their ancient privileges, and adds a clause which goes to the effect of establishing or confirming the right of hereditary succession. This is addressed to the officers representing the corpo ration. Now, the very treating rights like these as privileges shows clearly that the citizens had acquired something which other classes had not. The fact was that no one, with few exceptions, had the rights of a man in those times, except those who held land directly of the King, or indirectly from the barons, and those who, by clubbing their forces together as a corporation, attained that right as a collective unity, which as oms they were un able to enforce. The King claimed a limited mili tary service from a certain number of holders of land who, saving this obligation, were freemen. The population around them were mere serfs, hav ing no property either in themselves, their children, or the paltry substance they had gathered together. A town, by its collective strength, was enabled to claim and exercise the privileges which every indi dual possessed on his own lands. A simple citizen was powerful as an inhabitant of a town which had strength enough to claim corporate rights—but in dividually he was nothing. Guizot, in one of his treatises, treats very graphically the imaginary case of a resuscitated inhabitant of one of the old corpo rations entering his ancient dwelling place at the present day. He pictures his dismay at the de fenceless state of the citizens without walls, without closed gates, without fortifications of any kind, and would tremble at the strange unwarlike ap pearance of the place. The Lord Mayor, as a baron representing the. collective unity, London, was considered of suffi cient importance to fill such posts as the barons holding the great crown fiefs were privileged to claim. He had a right to the office of chief butler to the Sovereign. He was a member of the Great Council. On the decease of the Sovereign he en joyed, without any new grant from the Crown, any dignity which he might have previously possessed. All the conditions which existed when the muni cipalities were formed are so changed that it would be absurd to say that the regulations dictated by such conditions should be now rigorously enforced. The Lord Mayor has no longer the care of the mi litary defence of the City against Baron or King. The Aldermen never have their slumbers troubled by the sound of a " dreadful bell " ringing madly in the market-place. The great body of the citizens are relieved from all those fears which formerly caused them to combine, and which have given rise to the existing customs of the corpora tion. Let the municipality be remodelled with re ' ference to the new state of things. Preserve the municipality itself. Do not touch the principle of local self-government, but cut off all those tra ditional absurdities which have now as much meaning as the ceremony in Westminster Hall, in which, until lately, a qa:et Englishman clothed himself in armour, grasped a lance he could not wield, mounted a horse furnished from the "ring" at Astley's, flung down a glove that he knew no one would pick up, challenged any individual pre sent to fight him, although he was aware that the ' effect of any acceptance of the challenge would be to cause himself and his opponent to be bound over to keep the peace ; and finally, reeled backwards out of the Hall, thankful that the solemnity of the occasion has preserved him from being overwhelmed with ridicule for his participation in one of the most bygone of all farces. It was very right for the City to have the conserv ancy o f the river when fish of ordinary stomachs did not disdain the Thames water, but what do they want with the conservancy, now no respectable fish would swim up its waters ? It was very natural that in the infancy of trade, men who exercised certain trades or " mysteries," as they were called, should unite for the, purpose of fellowship, im provement, and protection, and claim within the city which they enriched by their labour certain exclusive principles. It is absurd, when trade has assumed such gigantic proportions, to apply to it the same rules which were sufficient at its origin. You cannot grow oaks in Cbina jars. The City itself virtually acknowledges the absurdity of the privileges claimed by the companies, by never ex ercising them except in the case of the brokers, publicans, and retailers. But this virtual aban donment of the exclusive privileges does not abolish the exclusive right, which is always at hand to serve the purpose of the mischievous and the litigious. To what extent this reaches may be imagined from the fact stated by Mr. Pulling, that„„ there are 700 local metropolitan acts, nee,' il u y charters, and nearly as many customs, which t u rous be called from their slumbers by any adr 3 n them. attorney wishing to experimentalise upon Here is a legal volcano, over which danger from such are sleeping. It is time tkat all cla e nf at 'Vent citizens h the City a source should cease. It is should give up antiquated privili—es which are of no use, and which it seldonmdeesgercises. Let it take its due place join in the work of reform, a in an age of progress. Mr. MOORE said he could not concur in the appoint ment of such a list, and thought it would be better to wind up the concern at once. He moved as an amend ment that this meeting do adjourn until this day three weeks, for the purpose of electing new directors of this company ; that any shareholder willing to serve in such office do send his name to the office of the company on or before Saturday, the 26th instant ; and that a list of such names be circulated among the shareholders at least six days before the day of election. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Davis said there was an old proverb that "delays are dangerous," and trusted the meeting would consent to elect new directors without any further hesitation. (Hear, hear.) There were gentlemen of eminence in the City who were prepared to treat with a new board, but who were unable to treat with a board which had been condemned by the proprietors. Mr. W. HAvirEs did not dispute the truth of the pro , verb that " delays are dangerous," but wished to remind . the meeting of a motto equally significant, "look before you leap," and in this case he thought a few days' more delay absolutely necessary. Tiie CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, and declared the show of hands to be 27 for and 34 against. The amendment was therefore lost. Mr. MOORE demanded a ballot on the proposition, according to the constitution of the company. Mr. DAVIS and several other members expressed a hope that Mr. Moore would not persevere in his inten tion, inasmuch as a ballot would be productive both of delay and expense. Mr. MooRE, however, declared that he would not give way, and that the further proceedings ought to be adjourned. The CHAIRMAN said he was advised that the name of Mr. East might now be put, and put it accordingly, and declared it to be carried. Mr. MOORE said he should demand a ballot on that question also. The CHAIRMAN next put the question that Mr. Henry Tootal be elected in the room of Mr. Hawes. Mr. MOORE denied the right of the chairman to pro ceed until the result of the ballot should be known. Mr. Hamm declared the course pursued by the chair man to be illegal. The SOLICITOR to the company, having been appealed to, said it was competent for the meeting to go on with the other business, just as if the question had not gone to the ballot.

He thought they had better ad. journ. (No, no.) He eventually put the motion, and declared it to have been carried. The names of Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Malins, Mr. Shep pard, Mr. Richard Belgrave Jackson, and Mr. Davis were put and agreed to in a similar manner, Mr. Moore demanding a ballot in each case. Mr. Charles Whetham was elected an auditor of the company. Mr. MOORE said that all the proceedings whioh had taken place since he had demanded the ballot had been illegal, and if the new directors presumed to act as a board, he would take the best legal measures to pre vent themfrom so doing. The CHAIRMAN said that, according to the charter, the ballot must take place at the offices of the company t o w n e t l h v e e a l e s d th f 0 , ti l v 6t e h a , b l7 d t e h y, n a s n t . d , b t b e e t w m e e e nh hours e titge would of d be of f dj t o b u e r n b e a d l e t till F an r d i da e y e b a t t i n t e w e o t o'cok, be l b c us ittioe sbusiness. receive No the proxies res lt would be allowed.

THE CORPORATION OF LONDON. (From, the Times.) Though we have not yet gathered all the sweets which the civic garden of roses presents to the eager eye and greedy hand of the inquirer, we may cull some samples which sufficiently betray the rich and luxuriant nature of the soil in which they have been reared. The case of Messrs. Combe and Delafield, the great brewers, is as good an illustra tion as may be of the delights of municipal go vernment, and the truth of those annual compli ments which associate the name of the City Cor poration with the spread of industry and commerce. This is the way the Corporation takes to encourage the trades which, in spite of its baneful influence, are still carried on within the limits of its jurisdic tion, or rather the following are the penalties which we have to pay for the intolerable nuisance of a Lord Mayor's Show, for the Aldermanic adminis tration of justice, for the ruin of our river, the distortion of our thoroughfares, the enhancement of the price of our coals, and the perversion of a large mass of charitable property to any other pur pose rather than that for which it was intended. Messrs. Combe and Delafield have the misfortune to carry on the trade of brewers within the pre cincts of St. Giles's. They had the additional mis fortune to be the proprietors of a_wharf near Water- 100-bridge, to which were sent large quantities of malt for the purposes of their brewery. This malt the city authorities claimed a right to unload on behalf of the Corporation of Fellowship Porters, which goodly fellowship claims the porterage and cartage of all coals, corn, and grain, salt, apples, pears, and plums, onions and roots, and all manner of merchandise, measurable or to be measured, arriving at the port of London. To enforce this right of doing that for the brewers which they were perfectly content to do for themselves a bill was filed in October, 1835. In 1839 the city set up another claim—that of metage—in addition to porterage and cartage, which, as Messrs. Combeand Delafield did not want their malt measured at all, they re garded with equal disfavour. The result of this second instance of contumaciousness was the filing another bill against them in 1839. So that here was a respectable firm involved in two heavy law suits because they would rather pay threepence or fourpence to their own porters than three shillings and threepence to the civil guild for the porterage of every ten quarters of malt, and because they did not want the city to measure that which they had. already measured themselves. The matter was of great importance to the brewers, the exac tion in question amounting to somewhere about 1,0001. a-Pear, and they naturally thought that they would be better able to defend themselves if they could get a sight of those documents upon which these claims of metage and porterage rested. For this purpose they filed two bills of discovery, to which the city returned indirect and evasive an swers, and it was only after being twice excepted to that anything like information could be ex tracted. This is the way in which a corporation, whose existence can only be justified on the ground that it contributes to the public good, treats those against whom it is seeking to enforce the most op pressive claims in the most arbitrary manner, and thus does it keep back the evidence on which those claims are founded. But this was not all. After they had got the third answer, Messrs. Combe and Delafield asked Vice-Chancellor Knight , Bruce for leave to inspect the documents iu ques tion in the cause, and the Vice-Chancellor granted the application. The city appealed to Lord Lyndhurst, then Chancellor, who dismissed the appeal, and from this judgment they appealed to the House of Lords, where the case remains un decided to this day. Thus, after a litigation of 18 years in the one case, and of 14 years in the other, the question of metage and porterage re mains untried and undecided, and the case is, by the act of the parties claiming the right, hung up on a collateral point. It is very difficult to pe ruse these proceedings without feeling that the city, which puts forward claims of this odious and extravagant nature, which nothing but imme morial usage, yesupposing an act of Parliament, could sanction, has no confidence in its own case, dare not expose to the world the evidence on which its claim rests, and seeks to weary out and exhaust by prolonged and frivolous litigation a resistance which it despairs to overcome by the weapons of reason and justice. In this case, as in many others, we see the proof that the Corporation has entirely lost sight of its public character ; that it regards i ts f ranc hises and its Powers as private property, to be used for the good of existing members, not as trusts to be exercised for the public benefit ; and that there is no artifice, no delay, no chicane at which it will stop to extend its powers, or to beat down and weary out opposition to its demands. Such being the weapons that it wields, a poor man —we had almost said a prudent one—must submit to any extortion and bear any injustice rather than risk his total ruin in the assertion of rights which this great incorporation has raised up to trample on and destroy. But, while the Corporation is thus exhibited in most unfavourable colours in the inquiry before the Commission, we cannot say that those city magnates who have appeared to give evidence have done much to raise the general opinion of their competence to deal with questions of this nature.
