Thomas Jonathan Wooller expired at his residence, No. 10, Carburton-street, Fitz roy-square, on Saturday, the 29th of October, in the 68th year of his age. Having for a number of years secluded himself from active life, his name has of late but rarely appeared before the public, and the existing race of politicians, generally speaking, know little of his former career. He first brought himself into notice as a political writer by the publication of a weekly periodical, under the title of the Black Dwarf, whiCh advocated ex treme Radical opinions, and was a bold and dangerous experiment on the part of the author ; and it was not long before he was marked out by the then Attorney- General, Sir Samuel Shepherd. The jury, on one of Mr. Wooller's trials,' produced a verdict of ac quittal, but on the other he was found guilty. Both trials took place at the Guildhall, in the city .of London, and in both instances Mr. Wooller de fended himself. To enter into a detail of all the subse quent events of his life would lead us into too lengthened, a space. At the time of the agitation of the question of Parliamentary Reform, and when the popular fever was at its height, he was elected " legislatorial attorney" for Birmingham—a proceeding which was manifestly illegal, and led to the incarceration of our hero for a period of 18 months in Warwick gaol. When the Reform Bill was paSsed, he wisely concluded that the field of his po litical labours was closed, and with that prudence and dis cretion, for which he was eminently remarkable, he abandoned political life altogether, and connected him self in the legal profession with the late Aldermen Har mer, to whom his knowledge and abilities were of the highest value. He was a particular friend of Major Cartright and Jeremy Bentham, one of the most pro found, though eccentric, thinkers of the age. He may be said to have beer, fortunate in the choice of his friends, nor less so in his domestic relations. Of him it may be truly said, that "he dared be honest in the worst of times." His personal and public integrity were beyond suspicion. But he was the victim of an act of the most cruel i,,justice. At one period he was induced to study for the bar, but the benchers of Lincoln's-inn, from the most paltry and most pitiful motives, refused to admit him, and thus his fairest prospects were for ever blighted. A noble, generous-hearted man himself, he has left be hind him a widow destitute of all provision, qc, Oct. 27, 3e, Oct. 29, abay to Li- .2 N., long. Ebrington, our market ;.

The report of the directors, to be submitted to the shareholders at the meeting on the 15th instant, states, that on the authority of a very large majority of the proprietors at the meeting in May last, the directors pledged the company to seek for powers in the next session to construct a double line of railway from Dor chester to Exeter, by which means they had succeeded in obtaining -the .rejection -of the -Devon and Dorset {broad gauge) Bill. The directors state that the ques tion; whether the company shall or 'shall not carry into Parliament a bill for making an, extension railway from Dorchester westward, is not now open for discussion, and that the proprietors, pleading the altered state of the times, have only to decide Whether the undertaking can- be so varied as to be carried -out substantially in a manner less burdensome to the company than its exact and-literal fulfilment might at the present moment occa sion. The directors state they have most carefully con sidered all the circumstances, and have now to recom mend the following course "1. That the application to Parliament in the next session shall be for 'powers to construct, within five years front the passing of the act, a single line of rail way from Dorchester to Exeter, to be there connected with the Bristol and Exeter - and the Exeter and Credi ton lines, with land for a double line. • • " 2. That the share capital to be authorized by the bill shall be limited to such sum as will suffice for the above purposes, and that the usual borrowing powers besought in addition, to be used in such manner as the proprietors may afterwards determine, either in substi tution for share capital, so far as they will extend, or for the purpose of doubling the new line, as next men= tioned: " 3. That the bill shall contain an obligation to make the extension line double between Exeter and Ax minster within, five years after the opening of the line, and also between Dorchester and Axminster within the Same period, unless in the meantime an act shall have been passed for making a narrow-gauge railway from Salisbury to Axminster. - " 4. in order to obviate the necessity fora sub= scription and issue of share capital in the present state of the money market, the directors should, on the au th Rity and ,at the request of the proprietors, and for their benefit, execute the necessary Parliamentary con trtlct, and take all the other needful measures for com plying with the standing order of Parliament respecting the capital." The company's engineer, Mr. Errington, is of opinion that a single line of railway from Dorchester to Exeter, with land for a double line, and with proper stations and Sidings, may be constructed for 700,0001., and that a connection with the Exeter and Crediton and Bristol and Exeter lines may be completed for 100,0001. ; but the directors recommend that 20,0001. should be added to these sums in order to provide for certain works not in the first instance necessary, but which it will be 'more economical to construct at once. The board believes that an honest endeavour substantially to fulfil the company's engagements at a time of great difficulty will be recognised by Parliament and the public departments of the Government, and that those measures will accordingly receive full sanction and sup port, while the proposed variation as to the single line may protect this company from an unnecessary expen diture between Dorchester and Axminster. With re spect to the general interests of the company, the board think, as the proprietors did in May and August last, that to exclude the broad gauge company from occupy ing the district between Dorchester and Exeter, and to secure and increase the feeding traffic thence which this company now enjoys, are objects of vital importance, and ought to be unhesitatingly pursued. The directors exclude from consideration any London and Exeter traffic, and mainly rest the question of remuneration on the earnings of the line as a coast and local communica tion. On this point the directors think that the receipts of the Southampton and Dorchester line afford sound materials for aiding their judgment. That line traverses a similar, but less populous and less productive country than the district between Dorchester and Exeter. Within five years from its opening it is already fairly remunerat ing the capital expended on it, and has added materially to the general security or" the company's property, and to the profits on their main and other lines. Of the Exeter and Crediton line, running six miles due west from Exeter, this company are owners to the extent of three-fifths of the entire prdperty, and the capital so in vested amounts to 60,5001. In the capital of the North Devon, extending the Exeter and Crediton line 35 miles to the north coast of Devon, the South-Western Com pany have share; paid up to the extent of 100,0001. Both these lines, and the extension of them to the port of Bideford (47 miles in all), will, on the completion of the contemplated Dorchester and Exeter extension, and at no further outlay, become connected with, and to a great extent feeders of, the youth-Western aygem. Withont such exten'hion the capital expended on them must be beneficial to the broad gauge railways alone, and therefore these lines form an important element in coming to a just conclusion on the policy of the measure now under consideration. In conclusion, the report states that a solemn engagement to go to Parliament has been entered into by the company, and that it is alike politic and just to fulfil it ; and that, with proper union, this engagement may be honourably fulfilled, without that undue sacrifice which has been assumed to be incident to it on account of the present monetary difficulties. Coffin, M.P., and it was resolved to apply to Parlia ment in the next session for a bil' A large amount of capital was subscribed on the spot, 'and among the share holders, is. the. Dowager .Countess of Dunraven and other mineral proprietors of the district. The railway will consist of a line from Bri4end to 131aen Lynvi, a branch from Felin Fach 'to the Bridgend Railway, two short branches in the parish of Bettws, and two other branches in the hamlet of Cwmdu for the purPose of bringing the existing mineral works into connection with the line. DARLINGTON - AND BARNARD-CASTLE. The provisional directors state that concessions having been made by the Duke of Cleveland, it is intended to apply to Parliament for powers to construct the above line. PLYMOUTH, TAVISTOCX, AND DEVON CENTRAL. It is stated that the survey fora line from Plymouth td Tavistock, forming portion of a scheme for a central line through the county, in connexion with the South- Western, has been completed ; the estimated cost is 250,000/., but only 180,0001. is positively required to be subscribed. DUNDALK AND ENNISKILLEN. A special general meeting of the shareholders of' this comp'any was held at the offices of the company, in Dundalk, on Friday, the Right _don. the Earl of Erne, chairman of the company, in the chair. The meeting was convened for the purpose of taking to consideration th e expe die ncy o f construct i ng a rail ay to connect the towns of Armagh and Cavan, form ing a junction with the company's main line at or near the town of Ballibay, passing through, or near, the several towns of Keady, Monaghan, Rockcorry, and Cooteshill, pursuant to advertisement, and was nume rously and influentially attended*. His Lordship, when introdtinmi the subject to the Meeting, remarked that this company already intended to construct branch lines to Cavan and Monaghan, but the extension to Armagh had been forced upon them by the company called the Belfast and West of Ireland Junction, who, in projecting thair scheme, have entered into direct. competition with this company's main line, also stopping the traffic both north and south. Persons getting into carriages at Monaghan and other places would, in the West of Ireland line, be carried by the Mullingar Company .to Dublin. This company's pro posed extension also gives facilities to the great fl a x markets of Bailibay an Cootehill, which is of immense importance. In fact, he believed the present the best scheme . both for the shareholders and the interest of the country at large. If any gentleman wished for further information the directors would be most happy to afford it. Mr. J. MURRAY asked, why go to Armagh ? The Earl of ERNE explained that it was necessary to go for the lino as a whole, not wishing to interfere with the Ulster Company, if they chose to make the line from Armagh to Monaghan, and it might be that they should not have to make it ; but, as stated before, they should go to Parliament for a whole scheme, else they would have no chance to carry their measure. Some other questions were put, and the matters ex plained by the Deputy-Chairman, Hon. Captain Jocelyn, and Mr. Macrory. Lord RODEN, in moving the resolution for the adop tion of the scheme, expressed his entire approbation of it, and his opinion of the importance of securing for the port of Dundalk the decided advantages of connection with the west. His lordship, in very happy and com plimentary terms, alluded to the exertions of his noble friend the chairman of the company, for his untiring zeal in the invaluable assistance rendered to the under taking, expressing his thanks particularly on behalf of the Dundalk portion of those interested. The Earl of E RNE expressed his thanks, and The meeting separated, after pledging themselves to give their assistance to the project. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW COMMODORE SUPERINTENDENT FOR WOOLWICH. (From the Morning Gerald. ) Captain John Shepherd (1840), late of the flag-ship at Portsmouth, , nominated to succeed Commodore Eden, has served 24 years afloat since he first entered the navy in 1805. We believe he was never under fire in his life, and we hare no record of his being engaged in any enterprise or expedition that has served as an excuse for a special despatch or for a paragraph in the Gazette. He was made a lieutenant in 1813, and in that capacity attained the reputation of a smart officer, but he served only in the Spartan, 28, Acasta, 40, up to 1815 ; and it was not until 1829 we find him employed in the Rifle man, 18, and Druid, 46, and was made a commander in August, 1828. As a commander he served in the Barham, 50, Donegal, 78, and then in command of the ' Sparrowhawk, 18, in the West Indies. He was posted 1840 - randla 1846, not giving' served previously as ' a captain, he became flag-captain to Sir F. Collier, in the St. Vincent, 120, for a few months. In December, 1847, he commissioned the Inconstant, 36, and com manded her for three years with a vigour that made him most unpopular in the Pacific. In December last he was selected by Sir Thomas Cochrane as his flag captain. We dare not be silent on this act of gross official in justice—we must not forbear publishing the fact that this appointment is a most invidious one, for in Captain Shepherd's whole career there is no one thing—no one act of servibe that entitles him to be preferred to his seniors, or to be preferred to juniors who have gallant, dashing, and long service to recommend them. This ap pointment has completely surprised the navy. It is so outrageous a preference for an officer of no service and of no claims that naval men are struck dumb at the bare faced contempt with which they have been treated by the selection. There are no less than 140 captains on the list senior to Captain Shepherd, and of these 140 perhaps, at least 100 have infinitely superior claims to his, irrespective of mere seniority. There is Captain James Scott, C.B. (1828), who stands 28th on the list, aboutilB of whose years of active ser vice afloat were during actual hostilities. It would be superfluous to enumerate his claims, for he is one of the most distinguished officers in the navy. He is a C.B. and has the good-service pension. His last gallant services were in command of the Samarang in the China war, where he mainly contributed to the various suc cesses, by both planning and executing the enterprises. Why was Captain Shepherd preferred to such an officer, who has every quality, whether of gallantry or seaman ship, to recommend him ? Captain Baynes is more than 100 senior. Why was this officer passed over when it is well known that he is a candidate for a dockyard appointment ? He has served 25 years afloat. He was in the expedition with Sir James Gordon to New Orleans, and was promoted twelve years before Captain Shepherd for having dis tinguished himself as second captain of the flag-ship at the battle of Navarino, for which he obtained the C.B. decoration. He has since commanded a frigate and a line-of-battle ship. ' Captain Purcell (1828) is 100 senior to Captain Shep herd. He has served 23 years afloat, was in the Wal eheren expedition, was promoted by Sir James Sau marez for his gallantry against the enemy, and did good service under the late Sir Nisbet Willoughby in putting down smuggling on the coast of Ireland. His last ser vice was in command of the Superb, 80. Captain Lushington (1828), 11 years senior to Captain Shepherd, has seen much more service than he has. For years he was engaged in the suppression of piracy in the Mediterranean, and commanded the "Etna bomb at the siege of Morea Castle, for which he was decorated and promoted. He has commanded a sailing frigate and a steam-frigate, has been superintendent of the Indian navy, and is now in command of the Albion, 90, in the Mediterranean, and yet this 1840 captain is preferred. Then there is Captain Duntze, next in seniority to Captain Lushington. He has served 19 years afloat, commanded the Tribune at the blockade of Callao, and the Fisgard, 42, for three years, in the Pacific. Captain Duntze is the nephew of the late admiral of the fleet, Sir G. Cockburn, which fact should certainly be no dis qualification for such an appointment as Captain Shep herd has been preferred to. Captain Michell (1830), of the Queen, 116, is ten years senior to Captain Shepherd. He has served 25 years afloat, mostly during the war, in which he received no less than eight wounds. At the battle of Algiers, when it was thought Lord Exmouth's flag captain was mortally wounded, Captain Michell was sent for by the commander-in-chief, and directed to act in his stead. Captain Michell commanded the Inconstant, 36, on the coast of Syria, and saved the Scout sloop from wreck. Captain R. F. Rowley (1840) is ten years senior to Captain Shepherd. He is the son of the late Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, and has commanded, as a captain, the Sapphire, 28, and St. Vincent, 120, and has served 16 years afloat. Captain Charles Graham (1840) is ten years senior to Captain Shepherd. He has served about 23 years afloat, was at the capture of Porto d'Anzo and the ope rations against Leghorn and Genoa. He has com manded, as captain, the Rattlesnake, 28, Castor, 36, and is now in command of the Rodney, 92, in the Me diterranean. He was made a C.B. for conducting, as senior officer, the operations against the New Zealand rebels. He is brother of Sir James Graham. Captain T. W. Carter (1831) is nine years senior to Captain Shepherd. Captain Carter entered the navy five years before Captain Shepherd, and has served afloat about 26 years, two more than Captain Shepherd. He was in the battle of Copenhage n , in Lord Cornwal lfs's pursuit of th e F renc h fleet, was in the expedition to Walcheren; commanded the Emulous, Carnation, and Wasp sloops, and in the latter captured a Venezue lan sloop of war ; and as a captain he has commanded the Vestal, 26, Winchester, 50, Caledonia, 120, and is now flag-captain to the commander-in-chief in the Mediterranean. This officer we know has been a can didate for a dockyard for many years, and yet he is passed over for Captain Shepherd. Captain Sir Thomas Pasley, Dart. (1831), is nino years senior to Captain Shepherd. Ho is son of the celebrated admiral, has served about 19 years—for the last four as Superintendent at Pembroke Dockyard. This officer, if qualified for Pembroke, might reasonably have expected promotion to Woolwich. Captain Wyvill (1832), A.D.C., is eight years senior to Captain Shepherd: He entered the navy :he same year as the latter, and has served afloat six years more than he has, in all climates, and in some gallantactions t :o, which Captain S. has not. He has lately returned from the Cape, where he was commander-in-chief during the Kafir war. Captain H. F. Greville (1832) is eight years senior to Captain Shepherd, and has served afloat 20 years. He was shot through the leg in a boat affair when midship man of the Arethusa, was at the capture of a Freqch frigate, and was in the gold medal action off Lissa, in Captain (now Admiral Sir Phipps) Hornby's ship. Ho subsequently served up the Chesapeake, and against the' slave traders on the coast of Africa. He now com mands the Trafalgar, 120. Here, then, we find amongst the first 75 seniors on the list of captains, no less than a dozen officers (from twelve to eight years seniority to Captain Shepherd), passed over in favour of that officer—the one hundred and fortieth on the list—officers who have not only seniority and family claims, but superior service claims— claims for not only service afloat, but positions where they have acquired as much experience as Captain Shep herd can possibly have gained—men who have the addi tional claim, which Captain Shepherd does not possess, of having served.in some of the most brilliant and dash ing affairs during the war. Upon what pretence, then, was Captain John Shepherd preferred, and on what grounds were his seniors neglected ? VISIT OF THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF BRAE ANT TO THE FLEET. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 7. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Brabant have paid a visit to this port to-day. They left Ostend at 8 o'clock yesterday morning in one of the Belgian mail-packets, and arrived 'at Spithead in the night. At 9 a.m. the Royal Belgian steamer entered. the harbour under a salute from the Platform Battery, and on arriving off the dockyard the Victory and Nep tune manned yards and fired a Royal' salute ; the com mander-in-chief went off in his state barge, and, having paid his respects to the illustrious visitors, brought them ashore and landed them at the King's-stairs, where Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe was in wait ing with a guard of honour furnished from the gallant 79th Highlanders. The commander-in-chief escorted their -Royal Highnesses to his residence, where breakfast was provided, after partaking of which the Royal party re-embarked in the port-ardesiral's barge, and proceeded on 'board the Victory, where their Royal Highnesses were received by Captain Sir Thomas Maitland with manned yards and a Royal salute, the Belgian flag being run up to the main. The duke and duchess having inspected Nelson's old ship, got on board the Fairy yacht, Captain the Hon. Den man, which steamed out of harbour and passed through the squadron at Spithead, which manned yards and fired a Royal salute. The august party then went on board the Duke of Wellington, 131, screw, Commodore Henry Byam Martin, and after having inspected that Magnificent war-steamer the Royal Visitors left for the shore under a Royal salute from the Duke. The Duke of Brabant landed at Fort Moncton, being anxious to visit the Royal Hospital at Haslar, whilst the duchess, attended by the commander-in-chief, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe, with Captain the Hon. Denman and' Flag Lieutenants Hankey and Yonge, landed again at the King's-stairs, and the duchess proceeded to the establishment of Sir Thomas John Cochrane. Their Highnesses will be entertained this evening by the gallant admiral, where the Royal visitors will sojourn for the night. The Belgian consul, Mr. Alexander Beaty, and the Austrian consul, Mr. Vandenburgh, have received orders to be in attendance this evening, at seven, to be introduced to the august visitors. These gentlemen were early in their attendance this morning ; but the arrival of the steamer took all by surprise, excepting the authorities, who, of course, had received due notice. PLYMOUTH, Nov. G. The repairs of her Majesty's screw steam-ship Aga memnon, 91, Captain W. R. Mends, having been com pleted, she will go from Hamoaze into the Sound on Tuesday. Her crew have been paid wages, and they are now on leave of absence for 14 days. The Diligence transport arrived on Friday with stores from Portsmouth. This morning, at 4 o'clock, a frigate, under three royal topgallant sails, topsails, and courses, was ob serve d close in to the olt, going up Channel, wind northerly, light breeze, and heavy sea. At 4.30 a.m. the frigate was followed by a paddle-wheel brigantine tug-steamer, having black sides and a red streak, under steam only. At 12.30 p.m., a French paddle-wheel ship of war, heavy built, all black, with black mastheads and barque rigged, was observed inside the Eddystone, going down Channel under steam and canvas. She carried a pennant on her mainmast head, and dipped her ensign to a full-rigged French merchant ship going up Channel. The smack Lady of the Lake, Captain Langlash, of and from Guernsey on Friday morning, which arrived here on Saturday, picked up, about 18 miles north of that island, a portable writing desk and some deck plank belonging to the brigantine Susan, Captain Godfrey, driven ashore in a calm, and totally wrecked on Wed nesday last ; crew saved. Nov. 7. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Terrible, 16, Captain M'Cleverty, with the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Edmund Lyons, arrived in the Sound this morning, and saluted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney. She left Portsmouth at noon yesterday, and will sail at 4 o'clock this forenoon for the Mediterranean station. ADMIRAL DIINDAS AND THE ASSISTANT SURGEONS.— The subjoined letter from Besika Bay, relative to an alleged gross act of disobedience of orders on the part of the captain of the Retribution, will be read with in terest. It is an honourable trait in Vice-Admiral Dun das's character that he endeavoured to enforce as Com mander-in-Chief the opinions he held while at the Ad miralty ; and we think he cannot have been made acquainted with the conduct of Capt. Drummond, or he would ere this have tried him by a court-martial : "I beg to send you the following illustration of the man ner in which the Admiralty order about cabin accommo dation for assistant surgeons is carried out in her Ma jesty's ship Retribution. Nearly a year ago, Admiral Dundas, when inspecting that ship, asked to be shown the assistant surgeon's cabin, and on being, told none existed, he ord6red one to be built for that officer. Since that period the admiral's order has been disregarded, and the assistant surgeon luxuriates in a hammock. Your insertion of this will, I hope, attract the admiral's notice, and induce him to see that obedience from the captains of the fleet is a necessary element of naval com fort, if not of naval dis3ipline."—Unitcd Service Gaz,tte. The Bremen merchant ship Anna, Captain Raschen, arrived at Spithead during the night from Bremerhaven, which she left on Thursday last for Baltimore, having lost some of her passengers by cholera, On the day she sailed a child four years old was taken ill with diarrhoea and vomiting, and died in four hours after. On the same day two adults and a second child were also attacked with similar symptoms, and died on Friday. On Saturday five of the crew were taken ill, and one died yesterday ; the other four are so far recovered as to be able to do light work. Two children belonging to passengers are the only sick now on board. The Anna has 225 passengers, and her crew consists of 15 men. THE ARMY. The following depots (each four companies) of the 16th Foot, 36th and 72d Highlanders, are to proceed to Chatham, where they will remain until the arrival of the service companies of their several corps in England. The 16th depot comes from Castlebar, Ireland ; the 36th from Chester, and the 72d from Clare Castle. The commander-in-chief has granted leave of absence to the following. officers at Chatham garrison :—Assist ant-Surgeon W. L. Reid, to the 6th January, 1854 ; Ensign Hassell, 84th Foot, to the 30th inst. ; and Capt. C. F. J. Daniell, of the 38th, to Jan. 30, 1854. A large number of recruits for the different corps comprising the provisional battalion at Chatham arrive daily from the north and west of England ; about 100 entered Chatham barracks on Saturday last. The following four regiments have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to move from their present quarters to Ireland, viz :—The 28th, from Leeds to Dublin ; the 50th, from Plymouth to Cork ; the 77th, from Glasgow to Belfast ; and the 82d, from Stirling Castle, via Glasgow, to Dublin. These regiments are to replace the service companies of the 9th, 14th, 17th, 39th, 62d, and 89th Regiments, which are under orders to embark for Gibraltar and Malta, with a view to the arrangements for the relief ,of certain regiments serving abroad being carried out. RELIEFS OF REGIMENTS IN INDIA.—The Queen's regi ments aboutto be relieved in the East Indies :—The 15th Hussars, after 14 years ; 51st (King's Own) Light In fantry after 15 years ' • and 94th R egiment, after 15 years ' service on the East Indies station —cannot be expected home before the middle of next year, as the vessels in which they are to return to this country only left Eng land for the Cape of Good Hope and India in the month of September last. WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—The com mittee of this Society have just issued their fourth annual report. They i n f orm th e pu b l i c that they were t h e fi rs t freehold land society formed in London, and that they have steadily adhered to the original principle of rotation, dividing the estates, as they purchase them, equally be tween the paid-up and the subscribing members. From the debtor and creditor account of the estate last allotted, it appears that the members had obtained their plots, at the actual- cost of the purchase, w ith the addi tion of 14 per cent. for conveyance, malting roads, an d all other expenses. They state that th eir p resent num ber of shares are 1,575, and making, with those taken up on the distributed estates, 1,774. The entire subscrip tions have reached the sum of 22,1871. 125., of which 6, 77 71 . 7s. 4d. has been received during the present year. The number of votes obtained by the members previous to the last registration were for East Surrey 35, andl West Surrey 77. The recent revision has, however, added considerably to the number in both divisions of the county. LONDON AND WEST KENT. A meeting of landowners and resident promoters of this project was held at Maidstone on Saturday. The chair was taken by Viscount Holmesdale. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, observed that they were met to consider and determine on the propriety of proceeding with the undertaking, and also to consider the expediency of making any deviations from the original plan. The nature of these proposed deviations would be explained hereafter in detail, but he wished it to be understood that he was of opinion—an opinion which was shared in by the Marquis Camden, Sir John Lubbock, and other members of the provisional committee—it was not desirable to sanction any depar ture from the settled plan of operation already agreed to for securing the successful accomplishment of the main line from London to Maidstone. The line would benefit Maidstone more than any other town. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cobb said the promoters had no intention whatever to deviate in any respect from the plan of operations as settled and agreed to at the landowners' first meeting, on the 4th ult. (Hear, hear.) Under these circum stances it had been suggested that a recommendation be conveyed to the provisional committee to sanction an extention of the time for completing the local share lists from the 15th of October last to the 15th of December, half only of the required local capital having been subscribed. A sugges tion had also been made that the commitee should sane tion an extension of the orginal plan for the main line by two branches—the one from Otford to Tunbridge, and the others from Maidstone to Ashford. The surveys for the line for No. 3 Bill had been completed under the direction of the engineer, from Newington-causeway to the River Thames Terminus and Southwark, and the application to Parliament for the bill for that line would therefore include this extensions to that if the scheme should be approved in the shape which had been recommended, the project to be sub mitted to Parliament would, in fact, form an integral line from an independent terminus at South wark, adjoining the selected site for the new bridge, to Ashford, so as to place Maidstone and all the towns between Maidstone and the metropolis, by way of Bromley, Sevenoaks, Ightham, Wrotham, East and West Mailing, on the main line, instead of being placed on branches from the existing South-Eastern and North Kent lines. From the return which had been received from each district up to the present time, he felt confi dent that the required proportion of local shares would be duly subscribed, upwards of 140 gentlemen, land owners, and residents, having sent in their names as subscribers to the capital for the main line, indepen dently of the subscriptions for the other portions of the undertaking. (Hear, hear.) He hoped that the, sug gested extension from Maidstone to Ashford would re ceive the sanction of the meeting, it being understood that the capital for such extension would form a sub scription separate altogether from the capital subscribed to the No. 1 Bill, being for the first portion of the main trunk line from Sydenhain to Maidstone, and thence to Ashford, The plans, sections, and books of reference were in a forward state, and the necessary measures were in progress for securing the completion of the sub scription list in time for the deposit of the Parliamentary contract, and that the bulk of the liability of preliminary expenses had been provided for, so as to make the charge on the local shares not exceed the sum of 2s. 6d. per share if the Parliamentary contract were not com pleted in due time. The district agents having brought up their reports, showing the number of local subscriptions, stated that they had received assurances of further subscriptions from other persons as soon as the provisional committee should finally determine to proceed with the undertaking. Mr. DENT expressed his hope that the western divi sion of the county of Kent would no longer be behind all the rest of England in the matter of railway accom modation. He was glad to perceive that Mr. Brassey had given in his adhesion to the scheme by taking 200 shares ,as a local landowner, and he (Mr. Dent) had no hesitation in saying that he would double his subscrip tion from 100 to 200 shares. Several gentlemen having addressed the meeting, and advocated the necessity of a combined action among the landowners of the county, a series of resolutions was passed }n approval of the object for which it was held, and thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. BRIDGEND AND MAESTEG. A public meeting of the promoters of this proposed new line of railway was held at the town-hall, Bridg end, on Tuesday. and was influentially attended. The line is proposed to be constructed on the broad gunge, and to run out of the South Wales line at Bridgend. Among the speakers at the meeting were Mr, Walter PIUCE SD. DESTRUCTIVE FLOODS IN IRELAND. CORR, Nov. 5. —As yet it is impossible to state how many persons lost their liveS by the melancholy acci denton PatrielCe-bridge on W e d nes d a y. Th e police have not received any names of persons missing, in ad dition to . those we reported on Thuisday but the names of several persons are given as not having been seen since the calamitous occurrence. • 'On the subsiding of the flood, the city magistrates entered, with the most commendable promptitude, into arrangements for supplying . the people residing along the Marsh, where the greatest. injury was done, with bread, coals, and other necessaries ; and on Thursday, a number of the constabulary were appointed to distri bute relief, when, from their returns, they assisted with bread, bedding, and fuel, one hundred and fifty families. This relief has been still continued, and the number of recipients considerably increased. 'ln the course of Thursday, the districts most injured were visited 'by the Mayor, Archdeacon Kyle, and several other 'gentlemen, , with - a view of ascertaining the amount of drainage done, and the bet means of alleviating the miseries of those who had suffered. In the neighbourhood of Duncan-street, Mil lar-street, and Nile-street, injuries to a very serious ex tent have been done to the houses, the foundations of which have sustained damages of an important charac ter, The rooms in other houses are perfectly saturated with wet ; the doors swept away as well as .the articles of furniture which the rooms contained. The entire flat of the city, embracing the parishes of St. Peter, St. Paul, and the Holy Trinity, has suffered from this fear ful inundation, and it is to be feared that many lives, be sides those which were lost at Patrick's-bridge, have fallen victims to its devastating ravages. We learn that a body has been seen floating out of this harbour ; that a gentleman standing on Parliaments-bridge saw a raft bearing three women and two men passing under, 'who have not been since heard of ; and that a woman while Washing some clothes at the Gill-abbey slip observed the bodies of two females carried along by the torrent. It was about 12 o'clock on Wednesday when the tor rent of water rushed down the Western-road, from the New-line to Carrigrohane, and in about one quarter of an hour afterwards the whole district was flooded. About 2 o'clock, Mr. Joyce, governor of the county gaol; came to Mr. Cunningbame, of the Queen's College, and re quested him to get his boat in readiness. This was a work of great difficulty and danger, considering the position in which the boat lay ; Mr.. Cunningham and three of the turnkeys, named Wm. Stevenson, Burns, and Flinn, being obliged to drag it up a sharp ascent against the flood. They, however, succeeded in getting it on the road, and proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Haines, on the Western -terrace. The turnkeys, who were up to the middle in - the water, carried this lady and her children out of the house on their shoulders, placed them in the boat, and conveyed them in safety to the college. Mrs. Wilson, who was carried on her son's back to the boat, was also placed in the college along with another family. In the yard of one of the houses on the terrace were two cows, on which the water was fast rising, and which would, in a few minutes more, have been drowned, had not Mr. Cunningham and the turnkeys came up, and, catching them by the horns, actually pulled them by main force into the parlour, which the inmates of the house only a short time previously were forced to vacate. In that novel byre the cows remained until Thursday morning. While the turnkeys were engaged in their laudable ex ertions, they were several times kno c k e d d own b y th e force of the current ; one of the porters of the college fell, and would inevitably have been drowned, had not Mr. Cunningham caught him by the collar, and dragged him to the boat. From information which has reached us this morning, it is to be apprehended that the catastrophe of Patrick's bridge has been attended with a much larger sacrifice of human life than was at first anticipated. A person who was standing in the vicinity of the portion of the bridge which fell in states that at the time the accident oc curred he saw a young lad, decently dressed in a short blue jacket and cloth cap, holding on by the coping stone, which he ultimately had to relinquish, and was borne down the torrent ; a person having the appear ance of a child's maid, with two respectably dressed children, is also stated to have been standin g on the part that gave way, and h as no t b een s i nce heard of; and a country woman named Murphy, and a girl having the appearance of a serva n t, were seen to fall into the river. Three country men who were engaged in a barn at Fair hill, at the time the flood visited that locality, have not been heard of since. No bodies have yet been dis covered, and it is most probable that all who perished on that memorable day have been carried out to sea. At Riverstown a poor boy, named Mulcahy, while crossing a plank at Denees tucking mill, on Wednesday, was washed into the mill-stream, which was swollen by the flood, and before assistance could be rendered he he was drowned. FERMOY, Nov. 2.—1 regret to have to inform you that an awful destruction of property, &c., occurredlere this day, Occasioned by a tremendous quantity of rain which ' fell here and in the welt of this county during the last week. About eight o'clock this morning the Blackwater river was very much flooded, bringing on its surface several cocks of hay, large timber, &c. In half an hour it presented a most terrific appearance, sweeping away a portion of the bridge, gas lamps, coal sheds, L. The inhabitants, seeing the sudden rise of the flood, which threatened destruction, rushed to their houses, and were quickly pursued by the flood, which immediately filled the shops and warehouses on the square. It here rushed along, and took its course down Patrick-street, filling all the shops and warehouses to the height of eight feet in a few minutes. Nothing could describe the scene— all the people up to their arm-pits engaged in putting up shutters, and taking other precautions. The flood swepillll before it from the square to the court-house. You may. orm an opinion of its velocity, when I tell you that it broke into the warehouse of Mrs. Mary O'Gorman, and rushed through, breaking a strong gate, and carrying away casks, hogsheads, barrels, &c., and forced away a cask of tallow, weighing, I am told, 11 cwt. 3 qrs. 23 lbs., which was only secured by bet eldest son, Edmund O'Gorman, who proved himself al expert. swimmer. All houses suffered in like manner{ Had this taken place at night, the destruction of human! life would, no doubt, have been b rrreat. As yet I have heard of no lives being lost. The only mode of commui nication was on the leads of the houses. The flood ha 4 now abated, at five o'clock. LlSMoßE.—Extract of a private letter received in Corki this morning, and dated Lismore, Noy.-3 We have had quite a deluge here for the last four days. Al, - the bridges over the Black water from Mallow to Lis. more have been cleared off their foundations. Fermoy, Ballyduff, and the Lismore bridges have been cut quit+ through. Five arches of Lismore bridge have b ee i swept away. Cattle, corn, hay, timber, a lot of old houses, haggards, &c., have all come down the river! There is a report of some lives having been lost about Lismore. One poor fellow between this and Cappoquin, perceiving the water coming down like a wall of molten lead, ran to drive away his employer's cows ; he was overtaken by the element, and, with much difficulty, clambered up a tree far out on the inches, and there he has remained since four o'clock last evening in a pitiable state.—Cork Reporter. VILLERSTOWN, Nov. 3.—We were visited in this lo cality with very heavy floods yesterday. There are awful reports of damage being done to property, and cows, horses, &c. ; both corn and hay are floating down the river here, and a deal of timber. The mail car from Cahir to Lismore had to bring the mail to Cappoquin this morning, as it could not get the mail over the river to Lismore. Great !damage has been done along the river Bride, which swept down by the Dromore banks this morning a good deal of property of various kinds. — . Waterford Mail. LIMERICK, --.The flood and spring tide of Tuesday morning did considerable damage in many villages bor dering the Lower Shannon, about nine miles below this city, and had there been a strong westerly wind localities nearer to Limerick would have also sustained as serious injury and loss probably as the city of Cork and other places, as a tempestuous inundation of such magnitude would have torn up the embankments at both sides of the river, laying prostrate numerous dwellings, and sweeping off crops and cattle. At Adare the flood tore away the battlement of the bridge, rendering it impas sable for pedestrians or public or private vehicles for the last three days. At Herbertstown a bridge was also much damaged, and it is feared will have to be taken down. Several of the country mails due on Wednesday night did not arrive until next day ; but it is a satisfac tiont_ to add, we have heard of no loss of life in neighbourhood. The wooden bridge on tho river 1) eel, between Newcastle and Castlemahon, was swept aw a y by the flood on Wednesday. Several farmers in the neighbourhood of Newcastle and the ne i gh b ouring carried parishes had their hay, corn, the floods. Six men returning from the fair of Castle island on Tuesday night were drowned i n attempting to and sheep e cross the mountain rivers. There wThl ur ee, and several a great destruction of farming and house property in cottages and cabins in the village were levelled by the floods.—Limerick Chronicle.

THE RIVER PLATE.—The favourable new s f rom the River Plate describing the continuance of complete o litical quiet at Buenos Ayres and ithe revival p of active trade, did not produce much effect on the bonds of that State, the only transaction having been at 59, while the last previous quotation on the 3d. inst. was 5. With regard to the condition of a ff a i rs at Montevide B o, much satisfaction is expressed in the privat e l etters f rom t h at place at the retir ement or flight policy had long been regarded with distrust by the better part of the population . One opinion on ly i s sa id t o have prevailed as t o the i nexiot with rt mportance of the event in con nhe future progre ss o f th e coun t ry . e Th e y fo been caused by. his dep ar t ure i s d escr ib ed as not having any o the usual South American intri gues, or the rival of f military chiefs, but simply by his incapacity, Last evening the first meeting of this society for the lien 1553-4, was held at the Rooms, 21, Regent-street; r r.".‘ ,l ' , r in the chair. ;art, the secretary, said he would briefly recapitulate the progress made in law reform dur ing the past year. With regard to the law of real pro perty, it would be remembered that suggestions were made for shortening deeds by reference to schedules— this, however, had been but very little adopted by the profession. But there was another suggestion, that re muneration for deeds by length should no longer, be the governing principle, and in this respect considerable pro gress had been made. Another improvement in the law of real property, for making the transfer of it as easy and simple as the transfer of stock, had been suggested, but Was not at present carried out—though a committee of the House of. Commons had recognised it as a possible plan—and had reported in its favour. Another project which he had the honour of introducing, was the assur ance of titles. That plan had not only been entertained by a committee of the House of Commons, consisting of several members of the Government, who not only thought it a possible plan, but carried it further than he had proposed. They recommended the assurance, or warranty of titles by the state. This system would do away with the present costly mode of examination into the titles of a large estate, on the sale of a small portion of it. Great progress had been made in the plan for m 'king a large territorial map of the country, on a scale sufficiently large for all practical purposes. A report had been made and brought before the Treasury, and he had been assured that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was prepared to act upon it. The scale proposed was 2G incises to a mile. The enfranchisement of copyholds had been carried out voluntarily to a large extent, and he had no doubt it would work advantageously to the country. In common law the first thing he would refer to•was the suggestion of the society in reference to the law of partnership, recommending a linfited liability. A committee had been appointed, and he had that day re ceived a series of questions on the subject, issued by the commission. Next came the fusion of law and equity, The opinions and hopes formerly entertained on this subject were now gaining ground, and he had no doubt that a bill would be brought in very shortly by Govern ment for this desirable object. The CHAIRMAN said that a bill had been already printed. lti r. STEWART was glad to hear it. He had much pleasure in referring to the reform in Chancery Just before he came in he had met one of the taxing masters of the Court of Chancery, who was as good a judge as any lie could ask on this subject. He assured him there was an entit-e change in the mode of conducting the business in Chancery. All the ordinary business mat ters were conducted as cheaply and expeditiously as pos sible, and the Master's Office was greatly improved. Things were now made as simple as possible, and neither solicitors nor barristers as a rule complained of the change. A board for revising bills had been proposed. and some steps had been taken in this direction. Some improvements had been also effected in the law of lunacy. With regard to legal education some progress, though not much, had been made. The inns of Court must, however, come forward and have compulsory examina tions before conferring the degree of barrister. The subject for their present consideration was the appoint ment of a Minister of Justice, They had no such func tionary at present, and it was unknown whether respon sibility in legal matters remained with the Home Secre tary or the Lord Chancellor. Every other great depart ment of the State had a responsible officer, and it was only just that they should know to whom they were to apply, in case of anything going wrong in the law. He believed that if a Minister of Justice were appointed, the duties of that society would be at an end ; but, until some such functionary was appointed, they ought to continue their existence. He hoped the society would consider the propriety of some such department of the State. He concluded by moving the appointment of a committee to consider the expediency of establishing a Minister of Justice. • Mr. ALLEN seconded the motion, which was carried UM.. con. Mr. PULLEN then read a somewhat lengthy report of the committee appointed to consider what improvement, if any, could be made in the present system of Law Reporting. The committee were of opinion that the present system is defective and pernicious, both posi tively as respects the mode of making known the exposi tion of the law of the land, and comparatively as regards the ()hi practice. The report concluded by suggesting that a Board should be appointed by the Crown for revising and editing reports of judicial decisions. Mr. VANSITTART NEALE) seconded the adoption of the report. Mr: FEED. HILL suggested that instead of the appoint ment of a board, a single officer should be appointed for the purpose. The report was unanimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN gave notice of motion "to consider the law with reference to the receipt of property by pawnbrokers and dealers in marine stores, to be referred to the Criminal Law Committee." A. vote of thanks was then given to the chairman, and the proceedings terminated. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, Nov. 7. JESUS COLLEGE.—This mornin2.
