Aqua se hahla Espanol MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES) OF 1 , YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, , Doctor of Medicine, and Matric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro .iuced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various torms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful 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 which 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con -equene 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 the 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 thi4 department of practice, he has been amply rem arded 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 empiries, 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.

At the half-yearly meeting of this company yesterday, at the London Tavern, a dividend of is. per share (equal to 3 per cent. on the capital) was declared, in accordance with the recommendation in the report. The CHAIRMAN (R. G. C. Fane) said the revenue o the line was steadily increasing, and for the last two weeks the receipts were 50 per cent. in excess of those for the corresponding period of 1852 ; and he was satis fied that the entire year's traffic would yield not less than 12,5001., he hoped it would be 13,0001. The agree ment which had been entered into between the Eastern Counties and Newmarket companies was beneficial to both parties, and he believed that before the year elapsed the Eastern Counties Company would derive from it a revenue that would pay not only the whole of the work ing expenses, but r-lso that 5,0001. per annum which they were now under agreement to pay to the New market shareholders. ri'RlOE SD. road, about half a mile apart, and to run trains at very short intervals—probably every three minutes—. at the rate of about 20 miles an hour, including stop pages, and at a charge far below the existing omnibus fares. At the same time ample arrangements would be made for light, with the free circulation of air, and for propelling the trains without the use of locomotives. At King's-cross the line would be connected with the Great Northern and with the West India Dock Junc tion Railways, and all the traffic from them proceeding westwards, or to the Great Western Railway, would be t c h o a n n ve B ye p d er ov e e e r ut t . his ailineaer. hear.) profit could not be less ear. ) The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re p ort, said that, no doubt, the mode of transit in a tunnel would at first appear objectionable to most p eo p le, be cause the notion of a tunnel was connected with some -o,t,hfteunt:nntesottb, ,freboednicaamus that p e ; t h b oaf u t t twh t ase ha lto t re w mco o some thing very dark, very damp, and very disagreeable. That arose in a great measure from the eiroumstance that tunnels were filled with smoke and steam from the engines, which condensed upon the walls and occasioned present instance by the adoption of some different mode for an archway passing under ground, but the term "ar cade" would much better convey the notion which they hoped to realise ; and as they had provided in their con tract for making it watertight, he hoped that it would be altogether as dry as the room in which they were then as sembled. One of the most important objects which they had in view was the Post-office accommodation, upon which they had been in communication with the authorities with the most satisfactory results. They proposed to unite all. the termini with. the Post-office, And to trans mit from the Post-office to every railway terminating round London the Post-office vans as now constructed with the cleilea, by, which much time would be saved in the receipt and transmission of letters and the conveyance of postmen all over London. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. BURCHELL seconded the motion. PROPOSED NEW RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The existing form of railway carriage is proposed to be altered so as to accommodate a larger number of persons. The car riage is to be formed of two tiers of seats instead of one, the body being placed low so as to give the necessary head room for the passengers in each tier, access to be given to the upper tiers by side doors, staircases, and steps, and to the lower or ground tier by doors placed at the ends, the body having a projecting platform pro tected by tailings at each end, to enable passengers to enter the end doors with a passage or thoroughfare (as in America) from end to end of each carriage on the lower floor.

Yesterday evening a frightful collision, resulting in serious injury, in the shape of brokea limbs and cuts and contusions, to several passengers, took place on the line of the Great Northern Railway at Hornsey. The colli sion was of so fearful a character, and the alarm created so great, that anything like a thorough detail of the cir cumstances is impossible ; but the following will be found to be a correct outline : It appears that shortly before 5 o'clock, the period for the departure of the down express from the King's-cros3 terminus, there was a break-down of a coal train at Hornsey on the up line. A portion of the train being left behind, a pilot engine, driven by a man named Paddington, was sent down to take it up, and about two minutes after the express had left King's-cross, a telegraphic message was received that the line at Horn sey was not clear. The express dashed on at its usual speed, but the driver, seeing the stopping signal on at Hornsey, shut off his steam and reversed his engine 200 yards on the London side of the signal-post ; having, however, ten carriages attached, so great was the impe tus that the train ran into the pilot engine, which was at the time shunting across the line, and the carriages of the express were thrown one upon the other. A frightful scene presented itself. Several passengers were taken out in an apparently lifeless condition—three or four with broken legs. Maxwell, the guard to the ex press, lies at the Railway Tavern in a hopeless condition and two ladies and a gentleman, a solicitor of Lincoln, are also so seriously injured as to be unable to be removed. Two or three gentlemen who had their legs broken and limbs fractured were brought up to London. The Lord Mayor, the Bishop of Lincoln, and Mr. B. Dennison, the chairman of the company were in the train, *tut, with the exception of a slight contusion received by the right rev. prelate, they all escaped. Some of the carriages were literally shattered TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUL SIR,—I regret to inform you that a serious accident has happened to the 5 o'clock down train at the Horn sey coal-sidings, in consequence of the tender of an en gine of a previous train having got off the line, whereby one lady, a Mrs. Harrison, has sustained a compound fracture of the leg, and a;Mr. Harrison, of Bell's Life, and Mr. H. Justins, a solicitor, of Bath-street, City road, have each a leg broken, and several of the passen gers are more or less cut and bruised. The Bishop of Lineoln, Lord Enfield, the Lord Mayor of London, and Sir James Duke are among those who are slightly in jured. Every possible means is being resorted to to arrange for the comfort of the passengers, and to clear the line in order that the traffic may go forward as usual. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, SEYMOUR CLARKE, General Manager. Great Northern Railway, General Manager's Office, King's•cross Station, Aug. 31. TILE NEW ACT ON CHARITABLE TRUSTS. eh i aebrife nsdael s In the important Act for the Better Administration of Charitable Trusts there are 68 sections, which took effect on the 20th inst., when it received the Royal assent. The preamble recites that it is expedient to provide means for securing the due administration of charitable trusts, and for the more beneficial application of charitable funds in certain cases. Her Majesty is empowered to appoint four charity Commissioners, one secretary, and two inspectors, for the purpose of executing the provi sions of the new law. Three commissioners, who are to be banisters of not less than 12 years' standing are to be Commissionersalary is is t o t o b l e ia p v a e i( l l ,s to oo o l nl a y y o e n ar e , ancl paid, and one is to be called "The Chief Commissioner." the chief commissioner. The The Commissioners are to appoint clerks and mes sengers. the other commissioners 1,2001. each, the secretary 6001.. and the inspectors 8001. each. All are to be allowed travelling expenses. After the end of March, 1 Thes 7 , t com missionerhC officers are not to sit in Parliament. The board ; paid .s to be called "The Charity Comm' ' and Wales." issloners for England The work of the board is defined by which enacts that "it s h a ll be lawful for the said board the ninth section, from time to time, as they intheir fit, to examine and i nqu i re into all discretionor any may see England and W a l es , an d the nature and c o h bj a. l r e it t i s es a i d n ministration, management, an d results thereof, and the value, condition, management, and application of the and estates, funds, property, income belonging thereto ; and the sa id b oar d may cause examination and in quiries in relation to the matters aforesaid to be made and prosecuted by their inspectors, acting together or separately in such cases, and at such time as the said board may think fit, and all such inspectors shall from time to time report their proceedings to the said board." Powers are given to the board to require accounts and statements of charities. The inspectors may examine witnesses on oath, and persons refusing to render ac counts, or to give evidence, are to be deemed to be guilty of a contempt of the Court of Chancery, and may be committed by such court, on summary application, by the commissioners to the same, and be ordered to pay the costs, if the court shall so direct. The board 11 I entertain all applications for their opinion and advice, by persons acting as trustees, and persons act ing on the advice of the board are to be indemnified. Some extensive powers are given to the board to deal with charities, in order to make them available for the objects intended. In cases of charities, the income of t os nd which exceeds 301. a year, the Master of the R the Vice-Chancellors, upon applicaion to them at chambers, are to have the same jurisdiction as the Court of Chancery or the Lord Chancellor, upon infor mation, &c. The District Courts of Bankruptcy and County Courts are to have jurisdict ion in c ases of charities not exceeding 30/, a year. An appeal is pro vided. The other provisions relate to the proceedings to be adopted, and the manner of procedure to-make available the numerous charitable trusts in England and Wales. The act is not to extend to Scotland or Ire land. It is to be cited as " The Charitable Trusts Aot, 1853." THE ABERDEEN CLIPPER-BUILT SHIP CAIINGOEIL--• The overland mail has brought us accounts from the Straits of Sunda up to the 2d of July, by which we find that the Aberdeen clipper-built ship Cairngorm, Captain John Robertson, had passed through, having made the run from Lisbon in 60 days. This is another proof that our ship-builders simply want encouragement to compete most successfully with our American friends or any other nation. UNCERTAINTY OF THE LAW.—There were emsatlY the same number of Scotch cases reversed, op appeal to the House of Lords, as were affirmed during the last session. This exhibits the glorious uncertainty of tlia . law in a most damaging and discreditable light. `-- - as. 6.x.1 to atoms. Within six minutes of the receipt of the first message at King's-cross not to allow the express to leave, a second was received announcing the accident and request,. . ing medical aid to be - sent down. " "" It is stated that the main line is torn up for a con siderable distance, and that the driver and stoker of the pilot engine are in custody. Sir J. Duke was going down to attend the funeral of the Rev. Mr. Brandling, of Gosforth-hall, Newcastle on -Tyn e.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. • calls should be allowed interest on them, and those not paying up calls should be charged interest for not doing so, and individuals are more likely to exert themselves to pay up their calls when they have a decided interest in doing so than they otherwise would. (Hear.) There is one other point to which I wish to direct your atten tion. We are offered to have the electric telegraph laid down even before the line is completed, and which we should ultimately require. The Company would let us have the use of it at a very moderate sum—at least not more than that paid by the South Wales Company, which is very small indeed ; therefore I think it is our interest to give the company all the facility for so doing as far as we have the power. (Hear.) Since we last met, the West Cornwall Railway Company have obtained a bill to carry their line on to the river into the town of Truro. We may have the use of that portion of the line, so far as we can make it suitable to ourselves, by making a fair compensation for it ; and if we do not use it we shall not pay for it ; if we do, we shall pay only in proportion to the use we make of it. In reference toithe opening a Vt. Austell, before finishing the Lis keard portion of the line, I am not in a position to say whether it will be for your interest to open the one before the other. As we get on with the works, we shall consider whether your interest will be best served by opening to St. Austell, first, or not. These openings at short distances are attended with very great expense, more than a common observer might at first perceive. We have advertised for tenders for letting the works from Saltash to Liskeard. As yet we have had no report; when we have it and the tenders are received, we shall be enabled to judge as to the best mode of carrying out that portion of the line. We have made only one call since we last met, and lookingat the state of our finances, no licrther cat wilne — requii-ed till the - pi-Ogress of the works are further advanced. At present we do not want it. We have found latterly that we have • been ' enabled to increase our labour. The other day we could not get men on any, terms. Gentlemen, I have only one remark more, which is, that your fellow residents of Cornwall, with /ourselves, may rely on our best attention being given to your interest in complet ing the line, and the directors have no reason to alter their opinion that they were in a position fully and fairly to carry out this great undertaking. If any share holder present wished to make any remark, the Board would be glad to receive it ; before doing which, how ever, he would move that the report be received, adopted, printed, and circulated among the share holders. R. PEARCE, Esq., of Penzance, heartily seconded the resolution, as he was glad to hear so satisfactory and gratifying a report of their proceedings and of the pro gress of the line, and also that so small a portion of the line remained to be let, which was a proof that the directors had been most usefully engaged since, the last meeting. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said there was one remark which he had omitted to make, which was that the charge for en gineering expenses included everything to the 31st of March last. (Cheers.) The chairman then put the re solution to the meeting, which was unanimously adopted. No gentleman rising to address the meeting, The SECRETARY said there was no further business to present to the shareholders. Mr. ELLIS observed that he could not allow the meet ing to terminate without thanking the chairman and directors for their constant attention to their duties, and he hoped that all their anticipations would be fully rea- used. On behalf of himself and shareholders of Fal mouth he would assure the chairman and directors that if they could assist them in facilitating the progress of the railway, they should be most happy to do so. He would therefore move a vote of thanks to the chairman and board for their energy, skill, and talent in carrying on the various works of the Cornwall Railway. Mr. STOKES believing that the county at large was satisfied with what had been done by the board, and that there was a growing feeling of confidence that the line would be successful, he would second the resolution. The CHAIRMAN said it was very flattering for them to meet the shareholders with such good feeling every half year. He could assure them that it was a very great in ducement for them to continue their attention and zeal in promoting the successful issue of this undertaking. It was very true that their gratitude was the only payment they received, but that was duly and amply appreciated by himself and the board. The good-will and confidence shown by the shareholders towards them gave them pleasure in attending to their interests ; and if they succeeded in carrying out the line, as they hoped they should, successfully, no undertaking he ever took in hand would give him so great pleasure as the carrying out of this railway. In all countries he had been in he had witnessed the difference railway commu nication had made in promoting the wealth of those places, contrasted with other places where no railway existed. He had recently returned from France, and in the interior of that country he had himself observed the advarrtsges accruipg from railway communication. In Burgundy, a place six hundred miles from any water communication, the wine was all brought and forwarded by railway, and the effect of only the partial manner in which railways ran through that part of the country, was, that it had increased the rents of the vineyards, and value of the wine, 100 per cent. But it did not only ex tend to wine, but to corn and tobacco, which merchan dise had improved to the same extent, and which results were the same in every country. He had never been in the United States, but those who had, had told him that the development of trade, and subsequently of the wealth of the place, had been very much increased by rail way communication— opening as it were a new world. (Cheers.) Although England was not so large as the countries to which he had referred, but as it was opened to the rest of the world, and in proportion as it afforded railway communication, he had no doubt but that the produce of Cornwall would increase, and that they should also find strangers flocking to their county for the bene fit of their health, the temperature being so much more mild than that of any other part of England. They would also find great advantages accruing to the landed inte rests on opening the railway in Cornwall, as it would open the Plymouth, Exeter, and other markets to them for their corn and cattle. He would simply add that he was quite sure that whenever their railway was opened, it would increase the traffic beyond calculation, and consequently the interests generally of the county. T. J. ROBARTES, Esq., M.P., could not, as one of the directors, consider himself entitled to their thanks, as he had not been able to attend the meetings of the board, for a year or two past, as his friends had found him w ork to do in the Commons House of Parliament. He was glad, however, to hear the very flattering report of the progress of the line, and so far as his observation went, especially in his own neighbourhood, the line was being carried out most energetically. He concurred in the observations of their respected chairman, that where ever railway communication had been secured, great ad vantages had resulted to those engaged in trade and agriculture, and more especially to the owners of the soil. He considered himself, therefore, not only bound as a Cornishman to promote a railway, but as a land owner, it was the best thing he could do for his own in terest. (Cheers.) W. M. TWEEDY, Esq. (deputy-chairman), observed that though Mr. Robartes had disclaimed being entitled to the thanks of the meeting, because he had not as sisted them at their board meetings, yet he had assisted them materially as a landowner, and representing as he did a large interest in the county, the support he had tendered them from the first had been of invaluable im portance to their interests, and he had not only met them as regarded his own land in the most liberal manner, but his influence on other landowners had been very great, so that it would be seen that Mr. Robartes had not only aided them directly but indirectly also, and hence the company had derived great advantages by his countenance and support in that way. He hoped when Parliament was not open they should have his presence and advice, which were always valuable, but whether he attended the board or not, he was always of essential service to them, and their thanks was as equally due to him as if he had taken a more active part among them. . .. The meeting, which was a most unanimous one throughout, then separated, apparently highly gratified with the proceedings. NORTH METROPOLITAN. The first ordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, No. 47, Parliament-street, Mr. W. Malins in the chair. The report stated that the act had been obtained under the most satisfactory arrangements with the parochial and other authorities, by which all opposition in Parlia ment had been obviated, the preliminary expenses up to the present time did not exceed 3,0001. The line would pass under the New-road, from the Edgeware-road to King'scross, a length of 2f miles, which wo uld admit of easy extension in the same manner, both to the west and into the city ; but as the course of those extensions might be affected by the arrangement to b e made with the Great Western Company, and by a l . ne , projected by the City Terminus Company, from King s-cross to the Post-office, and from King's - cross to the West India Dock Junction, now the North London line, in con tinuation of this company's line, the directors had deemed it inexpedient to obtain from Parliament in the last session powers to construct more than the line now sanctioned. The directors, however, were happy to inform the shareholders that the arrangements with the Great Western Company were favourably progressing, and that they anticipated no obstacle to the extension to the Great Western Railway station. In the event of the City Terminus Company not proceeding with its project next session this company . would apply for an extension to a convenient ter minus in the city of Lon don. It was intended to lay down two lines of railway in a continuous archway under the road, of ample dimen sions, which would be constructed by excavating th e road from the surface at convenient intervals and relay ing it as the work progressed. Proper provisions would at the same time be made for the sewage and gas and water services. The directors announced that they had entered into a contract with Messrs. Tredwell and Co., the very responsible contrac tors, for the construction of the entire line, including al l the re quisite provisions for sewage and gas and water supply, on te rms w hi c h wou ld insure the line beinglipeedi▪ ly completed withi n th e li m it s of the company's capital (300,0001.) The cost of the line per mile, though traversing the midst of London, would not exceed half that of any of the railways hitherto made through the suburbs. It was in contempl a ti on t o estab lish stations at the princip• al streets crossing the New- CORNWALL. The Fifteenth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was held on Saturday last, at the Town hall, Truro. M. Williams, Esq., the chairman of the company, presided. The meeting, as usual, was not very numerously attended,— arising, we believe, from the very great confidence the shareholders have in their pre sent chairman, secretary, board of directors, and other officials. Among those_ present were M. Williams, Esq., M.P. (chairman), W. H. Bond, Esq. (secretary), P. P. Smith, Esq. (solicitor to the company), W. M. Tweedy, Esq. (deputy-chairman), T. J. A. Robartes, M.P., Glennie, Esq. (resident eng i neer ) , M essrs. H . P. Stokes, Gwatkin 0. Carlyon, R. W. Fox, R. Pearce, J. R. Paull, J. Olver, W. P. Willi ams , R . R ogers , A. Jenkin, T. Henwood, . Clyma, E. Heard, W. Raynard, J.W. Jenkin, Knuckey, jun., E. F. Carlyton, J. Gatley, etc. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by calling on the secretary, W. H. Bond, Esq., to read the advertise ment convening the meeting, and affix the seal to the register of shareholders, which being done, the secre tary proceeded to read the reports and statement of accounts. DIRECTORS' REPORT. The directors have to present the accounts of the past half-year for the information of the shareholders, by which they will observe that 67,0291. 2s 9d. remained in hand at the close of the last account, that the sum of 67, 5741138 ' 8d ' has been received, and 78,9401. 15s. 10d. expended, and that the sum of 55,6631. Os. 7d. remained to the credit of the company on the 30th of June last. The directors have found it necessary to enforce in every practicable way the payment of cal:s in arrear, and have to ' some extent succeeded; they are still proceeding to recover from other parties the calls at present due from them. The directors have taken into their best consideration the propriety of returning to the practice of paying inte rest on paid up calls, as authorised in the Vllth section of this company's act, and after mature deliberation have de termined to pay, during the period of construction, 3i per cent. per annum on all sums paid in respect o f cals made subsequent to the recommencement of operations in April, 1852, persuaded that such an arrangement will greatly benefit the undertaking, and be an act of justice to the pre sent shareholders. The Interest Warrants will be issued on the 25th March, and the 29th of September of each year. It must, however, be remembered, that not only the interest on all the amount paid up will be forfeited during the time any call remains unpaid, but that interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum will be invariably charged on all calls not paid when due, during the time they remain unpaid. The shareholders must not be surprised therefore at the strict enforcementof this provision of the company's set The works between Truro and Falmouth have been let to Mr. Samuel Garratt, on satisfactory terms, and within the estimated amounts. The works between Truro and St. Austell have been pro ceeded with as rapidly as the circumstances of the case would at all admit of, and will be completed by the time originally fixed upon. The heavy works between St. Aus tell and Lostwithiel are in active progress. The whole of the works along the line are let with the exception of the portion between Liskeard and Saltash, and for. this portion your engineer has been authorised to obtain tenders. Your directors feel the importance of completing your line as early as practicable, and will use every exertion to press forward the works without delay. Satisfactory arrangements having been made with the West Cornwall Railway for the use of their Newham branch, the bill introduced into Parliament by this com pany has therefore been withdrawn, as your directors be lieve that all the objects contemplated by it will be now attained. ENGINEER'S REPORT. 18, Duke-street, Westminster, Aug 22, 1853. Gentlemen,—Since the last half-yearly meeting, we have been steadily progressing in the letting of the remainder of the works, and the execution of those already contracted for. At present fifty miles out of the entire line to Falmouth (sixty-three miles) including all the tunnels, and most of the principal works of any magnitude are contracted for in a satisfactory manner. Over the greater part of this length the works are in progress, and upon the rest, all necessary arrangements are made for commencing and pro ceeding at the periods determined upon, so as to secure their completion at the proper time, without needlessly advancing the expenditure of capital. Upon the contracts first let from Truro to St. Austell, the works have proceeded as fast as we have obtained posses sion of the land; and the earthwork generally is as far ad vanced as the periods defined by the contract require ; although considerable delay has arisen from the wet wea ther, which has been much beyond the average of seasons. The tunnels also are well advanced, and the whole is in a satisfactory state. Proceeding eastwards, the works are less advanced, some portions of them are only now about to be commenced. Between Saltash and Devonport no effort has been made to expedite the works, as they will easily be finished before the Saltash-bridge. On the line from --Dora#4lo4aLthe 'unction with the South Devon Station, some liditYwhich it was ireeiraiile to expedite are in progress, and the whole may probably be advantageously proceeded with, and brought into useful operation. The works upon the Saltash-bridge, now named by per mission of his Royal Highness, the Albert Bridge, consist as yet, of course, principally of preparatory works, but by no means of small importance. I am happy to say that all the preparations made by the contractor and his agent at present i n di ca te every desire and every ability to do substantial ju s ti ce to the work, and give every promise of a steady, and I t rus t, successful pro gress.

It is impossible to read without a lively satisfaction the records that have reached us of the Queen's visit to Ireland. Nothing is more strange in a country where all seems strange than the instantaneous manner in which the presence of the Sovereign appears to dispel those mists of ignorance and prejudice whiChliad arisen at the bidding of professional agitators. It is in vain that the wisest and most prudent statesmen in the em pire—many of them Irishmen by birth or by descent— endeavour to devise remedies for the distress and suffer ings of the Irish people—lreland will not be convinced or reasoned into loyalty. With our fellow-subjects in that division of the empire the actual presence of the Sovereign seems requisite to insure attachment to her person and to her throne. All - the enormous sacrifices which have been made from the Imperial resources in the hour of Ireland's direst tribulation go for nothing, or, by some curious process of distorted logic, are twisted into injuries or insults. LaWs which were passed mainly at the suggestion of those who had the deepest interest in the welfare of the country are received as acts of tyranny and oppression. We have often wondered why this should be, for cer tainly there is no living statesman of the present generation who has had any other object at heart than the welfare of the Irish people and the tranquillity of the country. Strange_ as the result may appear, it is still stranger that the mere presence of the Queen should awake in every heart the liveliest sympathies, and call forth expressions of unbounded attachment from the people, who but a few days before were sedulously en gaged in traducing every act of her Ministers, and en deavouring at least to bring her Government into disre pute and contempt. This anomaly might of course be explained in many ways ; we prefer that explanation which is the most obvious, the most flattering to our Irish fellow-subjects, and we believe the most true. Is it not probable, when we compare, on the one hand, the expressions of loyalty and attachment which the presence of Queen Victoria elicits immediately her foot has pressed the Irish soil with the unceasing vituperation on the other which, in her absence, a certain portion of the Irish press and a certain section of the Irish popu lation so sedulously pour forth upon her Govern ment, that we must draw a broad distinction be tween the Irish agitators and the Irish people ? Nor, when we find how futile the efforts of the professional politicians have been to alienate the affections of the people from their Sovereign, is it con sistent with truth or with propriety to make a nation answerable for the acts of comparatively a few persons, whose obscene trade it is to make the passions and igno rance of the people subservient to their own selfish ends. Certainly, in the reception Queen Victoria has met with in Dublin we can see very little trace of that unpopu larity and disaffection which, as the agitators would have us believe, prevail so extensively throughout Ire land against her person and her throne. Nothing could be more graceful or well-timed than the presence of the Queen in Dublin upon an occasion such as that of the Irish Exhibition. It is an evidence of her wish to foster and encourage those enterprises which may tend to promote the intellectual and moral development of the Irish people. Industry is intelli gence. It is scarcely a stretch of language to say that it is morality as well. What more likely to strengthen the springs of industry in an imaginative and enthu siastic people than the spectacle of those grand results which the united industry of the world has produced ? Why should Ireland lag behind in the honourable race ? 'ln many branches of manufactures she has already at tained an excellence which the looms of any other country in Europe may strive in vain to excel. Why should not the same powers of mind which have already realised such results be directed to the development of those arts and sciences which tend so much to the pro motion of human happiness ? In some respects we should be disposed to think that the natives of Ireland would outstrip their fellow-subjects in the other districts of the empire. The same fervent energy which inspired the glowing periods of Burke, or thrilled in the tender strains of Moore, might surely be turned to other, if not to nobler uses. It was with unmitigated pleasure that we read the following sentence in the report which we yesterday received, and which we will here transcribe without apology :—" The Queen has crossed the Channel to see the first strong development of that remarkable love of art and that sentiment and imagination carried into useful production, which the practised observation of Lord Granville enabled him first to discover and com ment on as the chief characteristic of the Irish Exhibi tion." We entreat our Irish fellow-subjects to believe that Englishmen are not in a conspiracy to put down talent. Most gladly do we welcome any evidence of it which comes to us from foreign nations ; but how much more so when we find it among our own people--among those who are, or should be, bound to us by the strongest ties and sympathies which can link human beings together? We are very ready to admit that the verdict of the world is against us in those very respects in which Lord Granville declares that the Irish have attained the highest excellence. However great the praise accorded to our machinery, and to the wonderful development of our manufacturing industry in all its branches, it has been said—and we doubt not with truth—that in imagination and taste we do not equal the handicraftsmen of Continental Europe. Can we not, then, work hand-in-hand with our own fellow-subjects in another portion of the empire, who can supply our deficiencies, and, in turn, profit by our skill ? Surely, it would be more gratifying to derive the requisite assistance from Dublin, from Belfast, from Cork, than from Paris, or Lyons, or Vienna ? We earnestly trust Irishmen may turn their serious atten tion to the arts of design, if it is indeed true that in them their chief excellence and capacity exist. We must not, however, conclude these few observa tions without more especial notice of that one point about the Irish Exhibition which entitles the spectacle to a peculiar respect. It must never be forgotten that, but for the act of one patriotic Irishman, this magni ficent display—pregnant with consequences as yet un revealed—would never have had existence. Ireland owes her Exhibition to the patriotism and public spirit of Dargan, and it is no mean praise to a country that it can produce men capable of such acts. Let us hope that the Irish people may be induced to draw a com parison between the virtues of such a citizen and the vices and selfishness of the demagogues whose daily occupation it is to lead them astray.—Times. CROPS AND Hors.—The Maidstone Journal says, notwithstanding the most ungenial weather of the past week, the College Hop Garden at Maidstone has improved, and there can be no doubt that in some portion of the ground there will be a tolerable sprinkle. The high winds of the last few days have done here, as elsewhere, considerable damage, and we fear that, with so much rain, and so great a defi ciency of sun power, with the probable continuance of cold nights, the crop will come down, not only much less than has been anticipated, but greatly deficient in quality. We last week remarked on the tardy growth of the hop from the burr, and we now think that eo great has been the arrest of growth in many grounds that the hops cannot, even under the most favourable circumstance, advance, beyond their present size. The mould in some of the neighbouring gardens has in creased in spite of the application of sulphur though from observation and experience we know that in many instances the mould has been considerably checked in its growth, if not entirely cured, by that substance. CATCHING A THIEF.—A thief, who had on Thursday got into a house in the Rue Folie Mericourt, being sur prised by some of the occupants, endeavoured to escape by the the roof. The pompiers being informed of what had taken place went in pursuit of the man, and one of them throwing a rope at him with a running knot, like an American lasso, caught him round the body with it. The thief, however, at once drew out a knife, and cut ting the rope, got away into an adjoining house, and made good his escape. SALE OF A GIIILLOTINE.—On Saturday last a consi derable crowd was assembled on one of the boulevards C Rheims to witness, the extraordinary sale of the guil lotine and its accessories, even to the very basket which was used to catch the head of the unfortunate culprit. The upset price was 20f., after which a voice in the crowd offered 25f. The name of the amateur was anxi ously enquired for among the crowd, when suddenly a young man came forward and bid 30f., at which, after some little delay, it was knocked down, and when it beam) known that it had been purchased in order to make a bonfire of it, the crowd gave way to a loud burst of a pplause, which in a short tim e a ft er i ncrease d st ill mo re on seein g it piled up and blazi ng , every one pre sent assisting to keep up the fire. Among the most emergetio of them was a high functionary of the place. Although the crowd assembled was Tory greet, every thing passed off with the greatest order.—ardignani. The Interim Acting Committee for the promoting a Great Industrial Exhibition for Scotland have come to the resolution not to attempt to carry out the proposal next year, as originally announced,—North British Mail. THAMES HAVEN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. J. D. Lowden in the chair. The report stated that the bill introduced into Parlia ment to enable the company to abandon part of the line had received the Royal assent. The line now consists of but 4 miles of railway, exclusive of its docks. During the interval, arrangements have been made as well to settle claims arising out of the abandonment as for lands required for the works, and, with but a trifling exception, it may be stated that all land claims are ar ranged. The works are let to Messrs. Peto, Betts, and Brassey, upon terms which the directors are advised are fair and reasonable. The works will be commenced as soon as the extension of the Tilbury line is so forward as to make the commencement necessary. The accounts showed that 12,9641. hid been received, and 7221. ex pended, leaving a balance of 12,2411. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, called attention to the past condition of the company, and the difficulties they had to encounter in obtaining the necessary acts of Parliament The company had been in existence more than 15 years, and considering the disastrous circumstances under which it had suffered, it was not so bad, after all, to get nearly the whole of the money back again. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report, which was seconded. In reply to questions, it was stated that the number of the original shares,was 6,063, and nearly the whole of them had been forfeited, 4,200 shares were sold to the late Mr. Chadwick, at is a-share, and there were now 12,126 shares in the company. Mr. ANDERTON said, he made the average cost of the shares 81. each, including the proposed call. The report was unanimously adopted, and the pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chair man and directors. OXFORD, WORQESTER, & WOLVERHAMPTON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern yesterday, Captain Rushout, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, presiding. The report, which has already appeared, was taken as T read. he enAmmix said, that since the opening of the line to Oxford in June last the traffic had considerably increased, the weekly receipts having augmented from 8501. to 2,4091., which was the amount of the takings during the past week. He congratulated the pro prietors on the passing of the Bucks Junction line, which had already been staked out, and which would give them an outlet for their goods by a through line to London. They looked for a great accession of traffic from this source, and in the meantime they had entered into arrangements with the London and North- Western and the Midland Companies, which would place the traffic of their line upon a broad and sound basis. The traffic account showed a balance of 13,2491. which had been carried to the revenue account, added to which there was the Stourbridge Canal account, 1,716/. ; and rents, 3731.: on the other side, they were debited with the balance of the Stratford and Moreton Railway account-7951., and one moiety of interest on debentures, payable July 15, amounting to 7,218/. ; and this left a balance of 7,325/. 16s. 6d., which the directors proposed to apply to a dividend upon the pre ferential stock at the rate of 1/. 14s. per cent. per annum, or 17s. per cent. for the last half-year. The changes in the policy of this company had naturally involved them in serious expenses not contemplated in the estimate of February, 1851. The laying down of the extra length of broad guage would cost, at least, 100,000/. ; the extra plant would cost another 100,000/. ; and the cost of the workshops and additional station accommodation would be very considerable, so that the proprietors would not be surprised if the demands made upon the company shortly required the expenditure of the extra capital which they had the power to raise. The directors, how ever, would endeavour to stave off the period for raising this capital as long as possible, so that they might pro cure it at a time when they could do so on the most ad vantageous terms. The traffic returns showed a steady increase of receipts, and the directors anticipated that the expectations 'of the traffic manager, who had ex pressed his opinion that, before the meeting in August next the weekly returns would amount to more than 4,0001., would be fully realised. The directors regretted the loss of the Mid-Western and the Cheltenham and Oxford bills. They had had a most arduous struggle in Parliament; and it would be some satisfaction to the pr?prietore to know that provision was already made for going a third time to Parliament next session, to en deavour to procure a direct entrance into London upon the narrow guage for the Mid-Western traffic. He con cluded by moving, that the report be received and adopted. Mr. B. OLIVEIRA, M.P., seconded the motion, con gratulating the shareholders in this, as it had been, un fortunate undertaking, that the line was now pretty nearly out of its difficulties. A PROPRIETOR suggested that, in the event of their going again before Parliament for the Mid-Western Railway, a line should be chalked out more for the in terest of the company. Would it not be better tbat,the line should run into the South-Western Railway at Datchet, and so come into London ? (Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said, that suggestion should receive he consideration of the board. The motion for the adoption of the report was then agreed to. . . Th e CHAIRMAN then moved a resoluti on for the sion of the balance of 7,3251. 16s. 6d. among the pre ference shareholders. The directors were of opinion that half only of the total debenture charge for the half-year should be debited against revenue. Mr. LONGMORE moved an amendment to the effect that the whole of the interest proposed to be paid upon the debenture debt be paid from the present revenue amount. Mr. DIEHRARNE seconded the amendment. After some discussion the amendment was put and lost, and the original motion agreed to. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated, AMBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON At the fifteenth half•yearly meeting of this company, held yesterday at the London Tavern—Mr. J. Wyles in the chair—the report, which has already been published, was adopted, and resolutions were passed declaring a dividend of ls. 3d. per share, free from income tax, and payable on the 17th of,September next, and re-electing auditors and directors who went out by rotation. WEST CORNWALL. At the half-yearly meeting of this company, held yes terday at the offices, Throgmorton-street--Mr. H. 0. Wills in the chair—the report of the directors was adopted, and a dividend was declared of 2/. per share for the half-year, clear of income tax. OPENING OF THE NEWPORT AND HEREFORD. On Tuesday the first train passed over the whole of this line from Newport to Hereford, and its appearance in the neighbourhood of this city created quite, a sensa tion, its arrival having been quite unexpected. The train, bearing a number of gentlemen, including Mr. Rennie, the contractor, Mr. Law, the traffic superin tendent of the Monmouthshire Railway and Can it: Company, and Mr. Batchelor, of Newport, left New port in the morning, and made several stoppages on the route for the purpose of inspecting the bridges and road, arriving at half-past 11 at a place within a mile of Hereford, on the south bank of the Wye. A single line is nearly completed throughout, and, with a little pre vious notice, the train might have passed over the bridge over the Wye, at Hereford, to the Hereford sta tion. The line will be opened to Hereford in October, MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company took place yesterday at Manchester, the Earl of Yarborough, the chairman of the directors, presiding.

TWEEDY, Deputy Chairman. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said—Gentlemen, your directors and engineers have made such a very full report that there remains very little to add as to the particulars of the progress of the railway. Since we last met our works have regularly progre ssed ; the directors h ave gone over the line, and are very much p leased at th e satis factory manner in which the work g enerall y h as been carried on, and especially the substantial m anner in which the masonry and ot her p arts have been ex ecuted. the contractors ratoprisdlyth as we antici pated,ey are g e tti ng In consequence of the want of labour the various works bhuatv by e not progressed ot pressing more men and proceeding more vigorously than for some time past—(cheers)—and w e have reason to be lieve that the portion of the line from Truro to St. Aus tell will be completed in the time state d. We are now g o ing on to Liskeard, and we have every reason to believ e that the contractor will proceed with it to the satisfac tion of the company. Since we last m et, also, we hav e accepted contracts hence to Falmouth. (Hear, hear.) I need not say that it is an import ant feature to c onnect the port of Falmouth with this railway—not only so f ar as the country itself is concerned, but by means of this line we shall be connected with the metropolis, which will be of invaluable benefit to the county in general— (cheers)—and, having that in view, we have taken care to obtain contractors who are likely to execute the work with satisfaction to the company. It is proceeding very vigorously, and in a way likely to give perfect satisfac tion to all parties concerned. We have purchased a good deal of the land between this and Falmouth, and there will be no difficulty in obtaining th e remainder. We have also purchased the whole of the land between St. Austell and Liskeard, and have agreed for some of the land between Liskeard and Saltash. The contractor, as you perceive by the report, is proceeding, as far as I can judge, very well and substantially with the works of the bridge at Salta* as is also the contractor for the work from the bridge to Devonport. (Hear, hear.) In reference to enforcing calls and allowing interest on paid-up capital, at first it may Appear as though we were losing capital by so doing. In our act of Parliament we have power to make calls for the purpose of carrying on the works, and to pay interest thereon ; we consider it, therefore, more equitable, that parties paying up I i
