According to a statement compiled by the Dutch Consul at Odessa, it appears that the :shipments that port in the month of December, comprising grai wool, he., were 'to the amount of 27,000,000 roubl, banco, sent over in 1,382 ships. There were 1 I essels in port early in January, but it would require ,000 ships to bring away the produce already available, so large were the supplies from the interior in consequence of the fine weather. Letters from Berlin intimate that a large number of the merchants of Cracow had written to their correspondents to state that they were unable to meet their engagements, and offering a dividend of 5 per cent., though whether as an instalment or a settlement in full is not stated. If this state ment should prove correct heavy losses will fall upon Berlin, Breslau, and Ifamburgh. The liabilities of the firm which failed at Breslau recently, are now stated at 800,000 dollars. There is rather a better market for the English Securities, and in some cases we notice a slight improvement in the quotations.

NEWMARKET AND CHESTER FORD RAILWAY. The first half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Newmarket and Chestertord Railway Company was held at one o'clock, ye s t er d ay, i n t h e C i ty of London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street ; Lord George .danners in the chair. The notice for convening the meeting having been read, the general seal of the company was attached, at the desire of the Chairman, to the register of the shareholders. The SKCILKTARY then read the report, from which we made the following extracts:— " Your directors reported at the last general meeting of the proprietors, held on the 14th of August, 1846, that con tracts, under the guidance and advice of their engineer, had been made and entered into with a responsible contractor, for the entire completion of the works, whose proceedings on the line up to the present time, have been characterised by great energy; and as the season is fast approaching, when the works may be conducted with greater vigour, the direc tors do not' in the least doubt their ability of carrying out the original intention, of opening the line of communication from the Eastern Counties Railway Station in Shoreditch to Newmarket, by the 30th of September next. In anticipa tion of this event, a contract has been entered into for the supply of twelve locomotive engines and tenders, upon the newest and most approved principle of construction • the majority of which are to b e d e li vere d upon the works before the above-mentioned date. "Your directors with a view to the expedition required, and in order that the works may not be impeded, and to se cure the opening of the line in the month of September next, have deemed it necessary to make a call of 51. per share, payable on or before the 22d instant. " Since the special meeting held on the 11th November last, for the purposes of considering the terms of a lease of the Newmarket and Chesterfield Railway to the Eastern Coun ties Railway Company, which terms were rejected, negocia tions have been opened by that company, but they have failed to produce any result. " In consequence of the short period which intervened be tween the dates of the Act being obtained, and the first ordi nary general meeting, and there being many accounts then outstanding, no financial statement was laid before the pro prietors; but your directors stated their conviction, that the expenset to th Ovintrikinoorporationc would not ancood:l3 o t - per share, which anticipation has been satisfactorily bOine :gut;—the total expenditure being 9,2011. or 13s. ld. per share.

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a tew drops ea the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and wevent It turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A tew drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to ihe toilet. In eases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops an the crown of the heal ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an your. In most cases relief is certain in test minutes.

IEAARISS' PULMONIC CIGARETTES.-Phy sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty of breathing, tightness pflhe chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs, hoarseness, sore throats,aphony (loss of voice), car-aches, rheuma tism of the jaws, toothvaa t he, neuralgia, &e. In the first stage of consumption their,benelieial effects are surprising, and in the ad vanced stages they.rdileVe the cough, lessen the expectoration, check the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

There is exceedingly little demand for piece goods of any description, and prices of sbirtings and print ing cloth are barely sustained. The yarn market is even worse than that for goods. Prices are, in many cases lower this week ; but the decline has had no influence on the buyers, and scarcely any business is transacted. Under the present circumstances of the market, it is not surprising to find that the working of short time is now tnaki . ag progress in quarters into which it had not previously penetrated. We understand that the principal spinners and manufacturers at Glossop have already commenced, and those of Stalybridge have decided on taking the same course. We have no doubt their example will be extensively followed in the adjoining district. ROCHDALE, FEB. B.—The flannel market has undergone no change since last Monday. The demand continues li mited, and prices much the same as last week's. Wool is heavy of sale, at previous rates. HALIFAZ, Fan. 6.—There is little to notice this week, in any department of business. In the piece hall everything wears the same dull appearance; and the yarn trade remains much the same, as to production, price, and remuneration to the spinner. .Not much wool, either long or short, is changing hands; and if there be any alteration, it is in fa vour of the buyer. HUDDERSFIELD, Fsn. 9.—There is but little doing in ae Cloth Hall to-day; and the rise or corn at Mark-lane 7M.. terday, casts a damp upon our market. The orders for light goods came in so late that much remains unexecuted, and at present there has been no new patterns in dark go o d s . which we have generally had at this period. LEEDS, FAS. 9.—There has been a rather better business doing to-day in our market than last month; and, if some slight symptoms do not deceive, a brisker demand for low woollen cloth is likely soon to ensue. Other descriptions of woollen cloth, however, being totally neglected, the dulness of our trade is but very partially relieved. Prices closed ra ther firmer.—llfaschester Guardian. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 10.—The Court•tnartial to try Com mander Cragg and the officers of the Sphynx is erdered to assemble on Friday morning, on board the St. Vincent. Mr. George Biddlecombe, R.N. Master of the flag-ship St. Vincent, has proceeded this afkrnoon, in the Echo steam vessel, to survey, by order of the Admiralty, that part of the Isle of Wight where the Sphynx is ashore, to ascertain the extent of the refs, &c.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN COLLECTING ICE.—Wednes living at No. 11, Gee's-court, Pye-street, Westminster, was engaged dragging ice out of the river near Thames Bank, day morning a man named Jose assisted by his son, when they were both immersed; young Satchell, on rising, clung to t:,,t broken ice, and WdS rescued by some labourers who came to his assistance, but though every effort was used the body of his fattier could not be recovered. ROYAL BOUNTY.—Wednesday, by order of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, as head ranger of Windsor Forest, a large quantity of venison was distributed to the poor of the parishes in the vicinity of the Castle. The fallow deer in the Great Park, an;ounting to near 2,000 head, be sides several herds of large red deer, his Royal Highness con sidered the pasture to be rather overstocked; and, in obedi ence to the orders issued in consequence, 76 fat does were driven up to the deer pens, near Cran bourne_lodge, and there 1 shot ; and having been dressed and cut up into suitable por tions, we e distributed by the keepers of the varieus gates around the Great Park, in portions varying from 2.11b5. to slbs., the poor people entitled to receive it being furnished by their parish officers with tickets for the purpose.

" With respect to the contemplated extensions of the line of railway, it is unneccessary to enter much into detail ; suffice it to say, that in pursuance of the resolutions unani mously adopted at the first general meeting. the directors gave instructions to their engineer, and solicitors, to take the necessary steps to comply with the Standing Orders of Par liament, previously to appiviog for Acts to extend the line of railway from Newmarket to Thetford, and to Bury St. Edmunds, with a branch to Ely. The requisite capital was raised by subscription, and the respective Parliamentary de posits, consisting of 35,6251. and 31,8751. have since been in vested in the Three per Cent. Consuls." The CHAIRMAN then said that, in bringing before the notice of the meeting a resolution to the effect that the re port be received, adopted, and circulated, he felt it to be his duty to make a few observations, though from the detailed nature of the report it was unnecessary for him to detain them long. The Noble Lord then alluded to the dif ferent points referred to in the report, and said that with regard to the I..ctension, it was fortunate that they proceeded to ParliamAt for two Acts from the opposition they bad met with. He would conclude by moving ibat the report be adopted. Mr. J. G. Farrar, the deputy chairman seconded the reso lution. Mr. COOPER, of Cambridge, wished to observe before the re solution was put to the meeting, that be regretted the terms offered by the Eastern Counties Company bad not been ac cepted. He did not blame the directors, for he believed the rejection to have been the act of that meeting on the 11th November. He thought, however, that it was competent for this meeting to consider that resolution with a view to re scinding it. The stock of the company had fallen considerably after the negociation with the Eastern Counties Company had terminated. Mr. J. V. SHELLEY, one of the directors, replied that if any overtures were to be made again by the Eastern Counties Company they would be entertained, but under presert circumstances he thought it advisable that they should stand aloof, and make no proposition. The resolution was then put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. HYDE, one of the shareholders, moved that the direc tors should be re-elected, and paid a very flattering compli ment to them for the way in which they had acquitted them selves of their duties, and he referred especially to the negociation with the Eastern Counties Company. It could not be surprising that their shares had fallen, for consider ing the large call that was recently made on the share holders, and the great pressure on the money market, such a thing was to be expected. It was in his opinion a strong proof of the confidence of the directors in the undertaking that they made a call of 5 per cent.—(Hear, hear.) He begged to move the re-election of the directors. Mr. PACKER seconded the resolution. The directors were then separately elected. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the confidence that had been again placed in them. He begged to say that if any company made a proposal to them they were quite willing to entertain it; but the shareholders might rest assured that their interests would be attended to. On the motion of Mr. CLOWES, seconded by Mr. FULLER, the auditor of the company was also re-elected. This having concluded the business, the meetin )arated SOUTHAMPTON AND DORCHES - TER RAILWAY. The half-yearly general Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held yesterday at the terminus of the London and South Western Railway, Nine Elms. Lord De Manley in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said it would be necessary to trouble the meeting by reading over the Bilis which they were summoned to consider, after the usual business had been transacted. It would be necessary, according to the standing orders to call another meeting at a longer notice. The register of shareholders in the company was then sub mitted to the meeting, and the seal of the company affixed thereto. The SECRETARY then read the report, which stated that so short a period had elapsed since a full statement of the affairs of the company had been laid before the proprietors that it would be only necessary to state with respect to the bill for making the Lymington and Ealing b ranc h as well as the other Bills, that they wereallbefore Parliament, first time, and had been read a and that the directors had made an arrangement with the engi neer, by which their line would be opened in three months. The report then stated that the total receipts were 142,411/. 7s. 3d., the expenditure 137,4561. lOs , and the balance 4,9'5/. was then adopted. J. Mills, Rd. Brownkerr, a n d W . The The Chairman, Chas. Lam bert, Es q rs. were unanimously re-elected as direc tors, and J. Hanbury, Esq., as auditor. Th e CHAIRMAN !Lad, he wished to i n f orm t h e meet i ng that L a grea ter progress had bee n ma d e i n the works than war iginally expected, and that the directors were of opi nion that tho line would be opened on the Ist of May, and the c ontemplated accommodation would thus be afforded to the public, as well as an increased facility to those visititing Weymouth, &c., for the purpose of bathing. Mr. HORNE moved that 6001. per annum should be placed at the disposal of the board from the opening of the line, to meet the contingent expenses. Mr. HEATH seconded the resolution, which was unani mously adopted. The CHAIRMAN said that he had just been informed by their engineer that the line would be open for inspection on the Ist of May, but that it would not be open to receive passengers, or for traffic purposes for a few days afterwards. J. GUST, Esq., then proposed a vote of thanks to the noble Chairman, to whose services, he was of opinion that the company was so much indebted. Mr. CHAriarr seconded the resolution, which was put and carried. The meeting then separated. THE LORD CHAMBERLAIN AND THE METROPOLITAN THEATRES AND SALOONS. On Wednesday the managers of the several Metropolitan Patent and Mino r Th eatres, dramatic and musical Saloons, re ceived the following circulars from Sir William Martins, under the auth or i ty of the Right Hon. Earl Spencer, the Lord High Chamberlain, relative to the gratuitous admission of prostitutes and the police into theatres and saloons. " Lord Chamberlain's-office, Feb. 8,1847. " Sir,—Th e L or d Ch am b erla i n having been informed that prostitutes are admitted without payment to some of the theatres and saloons open under the authority of his licence, his Lordship requires you to state in writing whether any such practice exists at the Theatre.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. MARTINS. " To the Manager of the Theatre." " Lord Chamberlain's Office, Feb. 8, 1847. "Sir,—ln order to carry into effect the Lord Chamberhin's wish, that the Metropolitan police alb.uld have free access the theatres and saloons licerise4 by him, his Lordship thiuk ,, it right that you should send to this ffice two tickets t• r the admission . of one person each to the Theatre, the ticket= to be annual or permanent : as may best suit your convenience.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, " 4'. MARTINS." "To the Manager of the Theatre." ARTFUL ROBBRRY. A story was current on Saturday, for the accuracy of which we not vouch, as the police authorities have not yet received any report of the transaction. It is said Chit a lady of this town stepped from her carriage, opposite the Royal Bank-buildings, passed through the area, and, entering the bank, presented a cheque for a considerable sum, which she received in bank notes. It is believed that she was minutely watched. She re turned to her carriage. and was just about to step in, when a gentleman in spectacles without his bat, and with a pen in his hand, hastily but politely accosted her, saying, "I beg your pardon, madam, we have forgotten to make a memoran dum ofyour notes. Will you kindly return them to me for a te w minutes, and I will restore them to you directly." The lady believing the person who addressed her to be one of the clerks of the bank, surrendered the notes at once, and the gentleman hastily retreated up the steps, through the gates, into the area, and ran in the direction of the bank. The lady waited some time, and at length went to the bank to inquire why the notes were not sent back to her. She was assured that no person had been sent after her from the bank, and that her business with the teller had been com pleted when the notes were counted out to her. She per ceived at once that she bad been ingeniously robbed, and that the respectable-looking gentleman in spectacles, after he had obtained the notes, must have made his exit from the buildings through the gates opening into Elbow•lane.— Liverpool Albion. A letter from Ratisbon, 29th ult., states that the son of the President of Cracow, the young Haller, made his escape the preceding day from the prison of that town. It will be remembered that he took part in the Polish insur rection, and was arrested in a Prussian diligence with several thousand thalers in his possession, which were delivered up to the Government. He had been allowed to take exercise in the environs of the town, attended by one of the keepers, and it was during one of these excursions that he got away. It is announced that the railroad from Amiens to Abbeville will be opened to the public on the Ist of next month.

Hewlett, the Rector of Great Stambridge, and so widely admired in the literary world as the author of the works known as the productions of "Peter Priggins ;" but we were not aware at the time that, like many eminent men who have gone before him, his latest death-pang was embittered by the reflection that he was leaving nine children, their mother having died some time before, helpless and standing close upon the bor der of absolute want. We are assured that after his death it was found that there was not more than five or six shillings in the house, and nothing to bury him. And all this from no fault of his own. The living of Stambridge is of small amount, and burthened with a family of sixteen children, of whom these nine are the survivors, he had laboured inces santly with his pen to support them in a becoming station; and he had succeeded till about a war and a half ago, when the body gave way under this continued mental toil. Sick ness prostrated his strength, but still he refused to loosen his grasp of the pen. "My life," said he, "is no use to my children without my labour;" poverty, that relentless ta,k naster, refused hint rest, as he bad entered into lucrative :engagements with the booksellers, and thus he went on writing his lines with his very life's-blood; for there seems no doubt that if Hs situation could have been known, and timely succour had brought aid and rest, the graceful and witty author mi g ht have been still a li ve . Happily the de ceased belonged to an order distinguished for its brotherly and benevolent tenderibies—he was provincial chaplain to the masonic order, and in the hour of his family's sorrow, when the children stood around their dead parent, bewildered by death and want, a member of the Rochford Lodge, Mr. IlerLert Mew, who casually called in, discovered their situa tion, amid promptly stirred to their succour. He at once un dertook the charge of the funeral, and the care of the chil dren; and not only did the brotherhsod render this tempo rary aid, but they raised a considerable suns towards a per manent provision for the family, and thus commenced a fund for this purpose that has been largely contributed to by those who knew the deceased best as a neighbour and a clergy man; and we hope to see it swelled by contributions from every one who has enjoyed the delight of his acquaintance through the medium of his works.—Essex Herald. NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY The usual half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Northern and Eastern Railway was held yesterday afternoon, at the Shoreditch station ; Mr. Richard Patterson in the chair. The report stated that the dividend for the half year ending the 31st December last, payable on the Ist March, after paying the property-tax, would be -11. 13s. 9 1 / 4 d. per share on registered shares (501. paid) - IL Ils. 3 1 / 4 d. per share on scrip an d reg i s t ere d s h ares (451 : paid to 31st Dec,); 1L 10s. 10 1 / 4 d. per share on registered shares (501. paid, issue of 21st Aug., 1814); and of 9s. 3 1 / 4 d. per share on new shares (11. paid :o 31st December; being equivalent. tu 10s. per share East,rn Counties stuck of -a. 16s. paid.

The sum aimed was 15,9261 Bs, while the sum awarde'l was M 11 ;: 1,706/. I ls. sd. Some inconvenience having arisen fr-rn discussing at previous meetings the affairs of the Eastern Coun ties Company, it had been arranged with the directors of that Company, that the proprietors of the Northern and Eastern Railway should be permitted to attend the Eastern Counties' meetings, and there be allowed to discuss all mat ters relating to the accounts. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was adopted. Mr. YELL protested against the present mode of ke , .ning the accounts, and declarad that it was quite impossible to ascertain whether the Eastern Counties Company paid dividends out of revenue or capital. It would appear, be said, that the construction account would never be closed, and as they were the landlords, and the Eastern• Connabs Company the tenants, their directors ought to see that thesematters were duly settled and explained at their own ameet ings, the meetingsn dn t haovfe the ee Easternsh shareholders o l co d e u rs n ttioesrai Railwaythes questionsthese Company, bay were as accurate an y where, of course, the tenantry would alwa y s have a majo rity at hand. h e CHAIRMAN said to t d he ex b p e li a c t i f w his t h k eny upo o o l edlgde thssei be made.

Van Ilelmont has informed posterity of the means by which he prolonged the life of a man to extreme old age. This person, whose name was Jan Mass, was in the ser vice of Martin Rythorius, the first Bishop of Ypres, when that prelate, by desire of the illustrious sufferers, assisted at the execution of Counts Egmont and Horn. Mass was then in the 25th year of his age. When he was 58, being poor, and !riving a large family of young children, he came to Van Helmont, and entreated him to prolong his life if hecould, for the sake of his children, who would be left destitute in case of his death, and must have to beg their bread from door to door. Van Helmont then a young man, was moved by such an application. Considering what might be the likeliest means of sustain ing life in its decay, he called to mind the fact that wine is preserved from corruption by the fumes of burnt brim stone; it then occurred to him that the acid liquor of sulphur. "acidum sulphuris stigma" (it is better so to tra iscribe his words than to call it the sulphuric acid), must of necessity contain the fumes and odour of sul phur, being, according to his chemistry, nothing but those fumes of sulphur, combined with, or imbibed in, its mercurial salt. The next step in his reasoning was to regard the blood as the wine of life; if this could he kopt'sound, though longevity might not be the necessary consequence, life would at least be preserved from the many maladies which arose from its corruption, and sufferings sanity, an d consequentimmunity thereon,from m ch must i diseases,cert certainly tend to its prolongation. d fro m the prolongation. He . gave Mass, therefore, a stone b o ttl e of the distilled liquor of sulphur, and taught hi m a l so how to prepare this oil from burnt sulphur, and he ordered him at every meal to take two drops of it in his first draught of beer; and not liking to exceed that, two drops, he thought, contained enoug h o f t h e f umes f or a sufficient dose. This was in the year 1600; and now, says 11.1inont, in 1641, the old man still walks about the streets of Brussels. And what is still better (quodque auyustius est), in all these forty years he had never been confined by any illness, except that, by a fall upon the ice, he once broke his leg near the knee; and he has constantly been fri.-e from fever, remaining a slender and lean man, and always poor. Jan Mass had nearly reached his 100th year when this was written, and it is no wonder that Van Heln-nut, who upon a fantastic analogy had really prescribed an efficient tonic, should have accounted, by the virtue of his prescription, for the health and vigour which a strong constitution had retained to that extraordinary age. There is no reason for doubting the truth of his statement; but if Van Helinont reliect upon his theory, he must have made further experimew a. It is probable, therefore, that he either distrusted his own hypothesis, or found, upon subsequent trials, that the result disap pointed him.

" —Cheltenham THE LATE REV. JOSEPH HEWLETT. —We learn with much satisfaction that the Royal Literary Fund Society have given the munificent donation of 1001. to the gentlemen who are endeavouring to provide, by public and private sub scriptions, a permanent fund for the nice destitute orphan children of the late Rev. Joseph Hewlett. TAKING THE VElL.—Wednesday morning two ladies, Miss Jones, of St. John's-wood, and Miss Colgrave, of Bryanstone-square, received " the white veil and the reli gious habit of our blessed Lady of Mercy," at the Catholic Church, Bermondsey. The ceremony was performed by the Right Rev. Dr. Griffith', Roman Catholic Bishop of London, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. O'Dwyer, Butler, Moore, and other priests. The postulants, habited in white, were intro duced to the Bishop at the foot of the altar by the Principal of the Sisters of Mercy, and having, in answer to a cateche tical examination, expressed their readiness to give up the world and all worldly things, and to devote themselves en tirely and unreservedly to the study and the practice of reli-. gion, they were inve‘tv,! with the veil by the officiating prelate. The ceremony, which was conducted for the most part in Latin, was of an iinpcsing character, several pieces of sacred rn asic appropriate to the occasi - n being performed 15i,h , ip having pron , ,onced the bene diction upon the newly-made " sisters," the congregation dispersed.
