At a meeting of directors of this company, held at Manchester on Tuesday, it was decided to recommend to the proprietors, at their ensuing meeting, to declare a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 3f per cent. per annum, and to carry forward a surplus of up wards 0fi5,000/, to the next account. Mr. BULLER, chairman of the Bristol and Exeter, said that the term " aggressive" was inapplicable to the Great Western, for the South-Western had obtained powers to carry a line from Dorchester to Exeter, and had allowed those powers to expire, although repeatedly pressed by.

" We cannot speak of the work too highly; for, though it belongs to that class of writings which come under" the denomination of light literature,' there is the evidence of a scholarly and vigorous mind found througbout."—Dispatch. London : Chapman and Hall, 193, Piccadilly. The Secretary read the report, which congratulated the proprietors on the passing of the act by which the important district of East Kent will at length be sup plied with that railway accommodation of which it has been so long deprived. Clauses were introduced into the bill for securing the due transmission of traffic pass ing from or to the East Kent line to or from any of the lines of the south-Eastern Company. The act further empowers the Board of Trade, in case of dispute, to determine what facilities are to be afforded, and to in filet penalties for the non-observance of any regulations the board may prescribe. In pursuance of the direc tions of the committee in the House of Lords to whom the South-Eastern Company's Strood and Maidstone bill was referred, before which the directors appeared in protection of the company's interests, an undertaking has been given by the South-Eastern Railway Company, under their common seal, and recorded in the House of Lords, that they will not, in any future session, offer any opposition to the passing of any bill that may be introduced into Parliament for the purpose of authorising the construction of a line of railway from Canterbury to Dover. The careful examination of the traffic now existing between Strood and Canterbury, which the proceedings in Parliament rendered necessary, leaves no doubt that the receipts of the East Kent Rail way will be such as to yield a highly satisfactory divi dend on the capital expended, independently of the cer tain sources of increase. The traffic will flow over the East Kent line from the lines of the South-Eastern Rail way Company, as well as that which has been so long diverted from its natural channel, and now passes by the circuitous route of Reigate and Ashford to Canter bury, Ramsgate, and Margate, will doubtless be very considerable, by bringing them upwards of 20 miles nearer the metropolis. The directors are determined to lose no time in commencing all the heaviest portions of the works, for which the permanent surveys are already advancing. Their object will be to proceed with the works so as to produce a return -at the earliest possible period, and they see no reason why the line should not be open for traffic in less than two years. The bridge across the Medway will be commenced forthwith, the act requiring the completion of the foundations of the bridge within 18 months. In consequence of the oppo sition offered by the South-Eastern Company, the Par liamentaryno expenses incurred direetere h e a u v ug e r b e e tu en le u te nn th ec e e essa he ri re ly . ascertain them, they do not exceed 2 2 , 0 0 01 ., which includes a considerable sum paid for the expense of increased holders on , the fact, that so far as they have been able to former sessions. _ The Directors are now prepared to receive Proposals for the Loans of Sums of Money not exceeding in all 50,0001., on the security of debentures authorised to be issued at the Annual General Meeting of the Company, held at Rotterdam on the 29th July, 1853. The Debentures are transferable " to Bearer," in sums of 1001., 5001., and 1,0001. each, repayable at the expiration of three years, and bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum.

Ifhowever the party, from any cause, wished to cancel the Policy, he could not onlydraw out all hehas put in, viz., 2251., but a certain bonus of 62/. 20 71.10 s Od 2251. 5221.257 d 2171. 2s. 9d. 2s. 9d, in the bargain, which is more than one-fourth of the whole ofhis payments, or he could either draw out a part, 201. or 501., diminishing the Policy only by the assured value of the sum so drawn out at the age when withdrawn. See pagess and 7 in detailed pamphlet, by F. G. P. Neison, Esq. On comparison of these two tables it will be seen that a person ander the novel system of DEPOSIT assurance can secure the follow !ng advantages, viz., Ist. For a less sum, paid annually, he can assure a larger sum in case of death than under the ordinary system. Idly' y the event of a desire to surrender his Policy he can receive In this Company, by the above example, which applies to all a g es, THREE times as much as on the ordinary system. 3rdly. In the event of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property, of the same value as it was, though he cease his current payments for any number of years ; whereas on the ordinary system, .he gets nothing. 4thly. Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. He can at any time , by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 11. up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to l a greater or even its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the r ain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets bite sf cancelled c s h the moment do no i r bn e a s a t g fboarnhkiss money, and in case of death his family receive more than such thing,his current l o n nc n e rai la n ps a e l lor L i i the amount but for aid, all his hal i.earned savings become forfeited to he ceases top ay current prep lams, and, instead of having any fund to flto und his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his the society, more fortunate co-assurens• c i•-is the only syste m of assurance which can be and DEPO SIT assurance nch a system is t oo e q uitable and too striking to be overlooked its palpable benefits become widely diffused.

Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. " I am, Sir, years respectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Front, 229, Strand, London.

MEDICAL ADVICE ON AND M THE SECR ATUR ET IT INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH Y. DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, 3octor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. 14 AY 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 laced 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 terms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruittlil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost eutire 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, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of sciencecannot 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 rnock-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 thie department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, wto, 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 home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters mast contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can he fbrwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s 6d, in English, f l rench, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —The Earl of Aldborough and Hol loway's Pills.—An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine after every other means had failed. See ex tract from his lordship's letter, dated " Villa Messina, Leghorn, Feb. 21, 1845. To Professor Holloway. Sir,—l beg to acquaint you that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my liver and stomach, w hi c h all the most eminent of the faculty at home and all over the Continent had not been able to effect—nay, not even the waters of Carlsbad or Marienbad. (Signed) ALDBO ROUGH." These wonderful pills will cure any disorders of the liver or stomach —Sold (also Holloway's ointment) at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London and by all medicine venders throughout the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the passing of the act authorising the construction of the railway. They had felt severely for many years the want of railway accom modation in East Kent, and they had at length obtained the power of supplying that want, though not without a most determined opposition from the South-Eastern Company, particularly on standing orders. The expenses of obtaining the act had been unnecessarily increased by that opposition, but they had done all in their power to curtail them as far as they could, without endangering the passing of the bill. (Hear, hear.) The line would commence by a junction with the North Kent Railway at Strood, and, crossing the Medway, would pass through Rochester, Chatham, Brompton, Gillingham, Rainham, and Newington, to Milton and Sittingbourne, and thence by Faversham to Canterbury, shortening the distance from the latter place, and Ramsgate and Margate, by upwards of 20 m il es . (Ch eers .) Th ey h a d obtained the insertion of clauses in the bill securing to them running powers over the South-Eastern Rail way between the points of junction and the stations of Strood and Canterbury respectively, the use of those stations, and the due transmission of traffic passing to or from this line from or to any of the lines of the South- Eastern Company ' • so that, although an indepen dent line, it would be as effectual for public accommo dation as if it formed an integral portion of the South- Eastern Railway. He considered that the undertaking from the South-Eastern, that they would not in any future session offer any opposition to any bill for the construction of a railway from Canterbury to Dover, added very considerably to the value of their line. The total length of the line, including the branches, was 32 miles, and the estimated cost 21,0001. per mile. With regard to the remunerative features of the line, they had no doubt that the statement made in the prospectus would be fully borne out ; and they were determined to carry on the work with vigour and energy, so that the wants of the country might be quickly supplied, and the proprietors obtain a speedy return for their outlay. It was a matter of great satisfaction to him, and he believed it would be to others, that their solicitor, Mr. Freshfield, had received a letter f rom M essrs . Fox, Hen derson, and Co., to the effect that they were prepared to enter into a contract for the construction of the line from Strood to Canterbury, at prices to be fixed by Sir W. Cubitt, for a gross sum not exceeding the company's capital, unless any extraordinary works were required, and to include in that sum a provision for the payment of interest at the rate of 4 per cent. on the capital, from the Ist of September, 1853, to the opening of the line, if no delay took place. Further, that they would not object, when the line was ready for opening, to under take to work the line on terms of paying the proprietors 4 per cent. certain, on condition of their paying them half the surplus profits of the line. (Applause.) The Right Hon. S. R. LIISHINGTON seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. He stated that 17 years ago he had opposed the bill for making the South-Eastern Railway by Reigate, instead of through the district they now propose to supply, and had been for 15 years endeavouring with his friend, their noble chairman, to have the error committed by Parliament rectified, and he was glad to say they had at last so far succeeded in getting the line from Strood to Canterbury, and he had no doubt it would eventually be carried to Dover, in accordance with the suggestion of the late Duke of Wellington, and would thus confer local as well as national advantages. He thought it was impos sible to doubt that the line would be one of the most remunerative lines in England. The report was then unanimously adopted. On the motion of Mr. BRADLEY DYNE, the following gentlemen were elected permanent directors, in addition to Lord Sondes, the chairman of the company—namely, Mr. Alderman Salomons, deputy-chairman ; the Right Hon. S. R. Lushington, Mr. T. R. Crampton, Mr. C. J. Hilton, Mr. C. M. Lushington, Mr. J. Scott, Mr. W. Scholefield, Mr. H. Tootal, Mr. E. Twopenny, Sir J. M. Tylden, and Mr. M. Wilson. The sum of 5001. was voted to the directors for their past services, and 1,0001. per annum in future. The se cretary's salary was fixed for the present at 3001. per annum. Mr. B. Dyne and Mr. Coleman were appointed auditors of the company, and the proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and direc tors, and also the best thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor, for the ability and energy he exerted in obtaining the act. The fneeting then separated. SOUTH DEVON. The half-yearly meeting was held at the company's offices, Plymouth, on Tuesday, Mr. T. Woolcombe, chairman of directors, in the chair, who, moving the adoption o f th e report, stated that, although the traffic for the half-year had advanced from 46,4371. 2s. sd. for 1852 to 51,0761. 2s. 9id. for 1853, yet, through the severity of the winter, the cost of repairs had been so much that it was not considered expedient to appro priate more than 4s. per share to the holders of the ori ginal shares of 50/. The merits of the line had been completely exhibited when the Great Agricultural Exhi bition took place at Plymouth, and when the recent re moval of heavy bodies of troops from Chobham occurred. In his evidence before the House of Peers, Lord Har dinge candidly admitted the merits of the South Devon, and thought that, alth oug h th e b rea k of gauge might be an obstacle in the removal of ordnance stores, it would not be so in the transfer of troops. By The Sun of Monday it would be observed that the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway had paid 7,0001. to passengers in consequence of the bad condition of their permanent way. It would be better for the shareholders in the South Devon to complain of the cost of working ex penses, than for the directors to ask their pardon for similar scrapes. The chairman sincerely regretted the loss of the South Devon and Tavistock bill, which was satisfactorily proved before the committees of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Govern ment had, however, thrown themselves into the scale_ against this commercial project. The Secretary bill in who caused the postponement of the _ e o in the Commons, to wait the report on the venture to and Dorset bill, did not, after its reception, divide the house.

GILL, formerly chairman of the company, moved an amendment for the omission of certain clauses in the report, which condemned the • course pursued by the South-Western Company in seeking to esta blish a competing line.

The directors have the satisf ac ti on o f stat i ng t h at th e Bid e ford Exten sion Railw a y C ompany have obta i ned t h e i r ac t f or th e be t f ht o a re construction of that line from Fremington Pill (at the sea termination of the North Devon Railway) to the town of Bideford, a distance of six miles. This extension must prove a considerable feeder to the North Devon line, and the two together will include within their re spective termini the shipping ports of Barnstaple, Apple dore, and Bideford, will accommodate an aggregate population of 230,000, and connect a large district, hitherto isolated, with the railway system throughout the kingdom. The permanent way is being laid at seve ral places on the whole length of the line of 35 miles. The directors of the Bideford Extension Railway have intimated their determination to immediately commence that work, and Mr. Brassey has already contracted for its completion in nine months, and also to work it for the same - period that "he works-the North Devon line ; thus the two lines, making a total of 41 milli* will be in full operation next year, with no competing line for the traffic of the district on which they depend, embracing an area of from 35 to 40 square miles. The capital account showed that the receipts amounted to 323,8011. including 46,0001. on loan, and 310,2981. expended, leaving a balance of 13,503/. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the works were progressing satisfactorily. He adverted to the advantage the company would derive from the Bideford Railway, which would form an extension of their line 6 miles beyond Barnstaple to a large and flourishing town, where shipbuilding was going on. On Monday last he saw a ship of 1,000 tons on the stocks building for a merchant in Liverpool. The price of materials and labour being so moderate there, it was probable they would continue to have a good trade in shipbuilding. The town was situated in a beau tiful district. The making of the line to Bideford would be a very simple affair, the works were very light, the landowners were very few, and in the main were very friendly. The line would be constructed by Mr. Bras sey, and completed within a short period. With re gard to their own line, on Monday he (the chairman) and Mr. Sharland, the deputy-chairman, passed over it from the sea at Fremington Pill to the junction with the Crediton line. The works in some places were heavy. The most important bridge on the line was an iron bridge over the Taw, which consisted of three spans of 80 feet ; the foundations were all in, and the works were progressing. The stations had been arranged by committee in the country, and there was no doubt the line would be ready for opening in February. The traffic would be worked by the contractor, who was also in negotiation with the Bristol and Exeter Company for working the Exeter and Crediton line. The accounts showed that the company had succeeded in borrowing money, and they would have no difficulty in finding funds to finish the line. The land on the North Devon line had been bought in the main successfully, but it would have cost much more had it not been for the li berality of some of the landowners. The report was then adopted, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the proceedings terminated. BIDEFORD EXTENSION. The first ordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. G. Braginton in the chair. The Secretary read the report, in which the directors con gratulated the shareholders on their success in obtaining the act incorporating the company, which received the royal assent on the 4th inst. The only alterations in the bill were caused by the requirements of Parliament. The capital to be raised had been increased from 50,0001. to 55,0001., and the borrowing powers reduced from 16,6661. to 10,0001. The directors have conditionally contracted for the construction of the line and stations with Mr. Brassey, and also for leasing the line, as far as the nature of railway law will admit, for the same period that Mr. Brassey works the North Devon line ; he (Mr. Brassey) finding everything and maintaining the line and plant during the lease, the company providing the land only. The directors propose obtaining possession of the requisite land as early as possible, and to commence the work immediately. They have the satisfaction to add that Mr. Brassey has engaged to complete the line in nine months from the time the company give him posses sion of the land and notice to proceed. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that arrangements had been made for cutting the first sod on Saturday, and for proceeding with the works afterwards. The report was adopted ; and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting separated. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND. The report of the directors states that the sum of 37,743/. had been expended on capital account during the past half-year upon the lines of the company, and 9811. on those of the Hull and Selby. Of these sums 19,0001. has been paid towards the construction of the Victoria Dock, 14,2771. engineering works, 3,7171. stations and buildings, 1,105/. land, and 7,7501. in full discharge of the plaintiff's costs in the action and refer ence between Messrs. Crawshaw and the company. The amount of capital raised by the company to the 30th of June last was 5,601,0181., of which 3,211,2611. is Con solidated Stock, 711,0051. Preference Share Capital, and 1,678,752/. Debenture Debt. It has been found neces sary to expend a large sum in addition to the rolling stock. Not only is the whole of the new stock already provided continually in use, but further additions are urgently re quired. It would almost seem that the only limit to traffic at the present time is the difficulty of furnishing sufficient working stock ; and though the outlay is necessarily large, the return afforded by the increase in the receipts is very satisfactory. The opening of the Victoria Dock branch in May has given rise to an increased amount of goods traffic, which will be still further augmented when the rails and other conveniences in connection with the docks are completed. Many hundreds of passengers travel daily around the town of Hull, on the principle of low and uniform payments, greatly to the public conve nience, and with a remunerative profit to the company. The final judgment of the Exchequer Chamber respect ing the mandamus issued by the Court of Queen's Bench to compel the formation of a line from Market-Weighton to Beverley, was delivered on the 29th of April, when eight judges being present the unanimous decision of the court was that the mandamns should be discharged. All liability, therefore, in respect of this line, is now at an end, and important questions of law settled, in which railway companies generally are deeply interested. Con siderable progress has been made during the half-year in the Chancery suit against Mr. Hudson. The whole of them have now been heard, and in the principal one the account has been taken, and an order made by the Mas ter of the Rolls that Mr. Hudson should pay into court by January 11, 1854, the amount due to the com pany in respect of that suit, which in the certifi cate of the Rolls Court is fixed at 54,5901. On ap peal to the Lords Justices, this order was somewhat varied, it being decided that 20,0001. should be paid into court at the time named, and that the order for the payment of the balance of 34,5901. should stand over till Michaelmas term (November next), when the Mas ter of the Rolls will name a day for its payment. In the other two suits the accounts have not yet been taken, and the amounts to be recovered cannot be accu rately stated ; but the decrees of the Master of the Rolls have decided in the company's favour all the claims made by them in each of the suits with the exception of two items of 901. and 701., and a claim of interest of 1,3451. The attention of the directors has been strongly drawn to the advantages of a branch, four or five miles long, to connect the Leeds and Selby Railway with the lines south and west of Leeds, and a preliminary survey will at once be made, with a view to ascertain whether it can be constructed at a cost which will justify them in ask ing the consent of the shareholders to apply to Parlia ment for the requisit e p owers. Th e l i nes of this company having been worked since th e I s t o f April lastin con nexion with those of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and Leeds North ern compan i es, i t has been requisite to present separate statements of the revenue for the first and second q uar t ers o f t h e year. The accounts show that the net bala nce rece i ved by this company, on joint account for the three months is 65,1021. The general result of the traffic for the _half y ear canno t b u t b e grati fying to the proprietors. The net revenue, after deduct ing working expenses, leaves a balance of profit of 112,7921., to which must be added the balance of 4,9211. brought from last half-year's account. After deducting from this amount the preferential charges of rent of the Hull and Selby Railway, 33,000/., and interest on de bentures and guaranteed shares, &c., 58,0781., the sum of 26,635/. will remain available for dividend on the ordinary stock. The directors recommend that a dividend should be declared at the rate of 11. 10s. per cent per annum, which will leave a balance of 2,4651. to be carried to the credit of the current half year. In allusion to the verdict by a coroner's jury of manslaughter against three of the directors, the report urges that such a charge as the directors having knowingly neglected any precautions in their power to secure the public safety would not attach to them, no accident, either fatal or producing serious in jury to any passenger, having occurred since the year 1847, and during the intervening period upwards of 7,500,000 passengers have been safely conveyed over the lines worked by the York and North-Midland Company. The revenue accounts for the half-year ending the 30th of June showed that 16,5481, bad been received, and PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 24. Another division of the Channel fleet, comprising the Duke of Wellington, 131, Commodore H. B. Martin, C.B ; A gamemnon, 91, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, C.B. ; I m p er i euse, 51, Captain R. B. Watson, C.B. ; Arrogant, 46, C aptain Fremantle ; and Desperate, 8, Captain Ch am b ers (all screw-ships), sailedfrom Spit head this mo rn i ng on a cruise, under the orders of Com modore Marti n . I t was expected the squadron would have been detained some days, owing to a co ur t- mar ti a l having been appli e d f or to try the seamen's schoolmaster of the Duke of Wellington for striking the commander on the head, without (it is alleged) any provocation, which would have prevented the Commodore from putting to sea ; but it is expected the trial will take place after the return of the screw squadron to this port. Lieu tenants Anderson and Somerset of the Duke of Wel lington, had the honour of showing the four Royal children of her Majesty over that ship, even descending with them to the hold, on the occasion of the Queen's last visit to the Duke. On Monday the stewards of the Commodore and the wardroom officers received a donation of 101. each from the Queen, for their assist ance in their respective departments on that occasion. The Commodore's cook has also received a royal dona tion of Si. Captain the Hon. F. T.

The departure of Captain Henderson is much regretted by both the officers and ship's company, but they will find a most able and amiable successor to him in Captain Pelham, whose command of the Odin, on her first commission, was one of uninterrupted harmony. We believe, on Captain Chads attaining his flag, Captain Henderson will preside over the Royal Naval College, and command the gunnery-ship Excellent. The Vulcan, 6, iron steam troop-ship, Commander Von Donop, is ordered round to the eastward and left Spithead at 5 o'clock thi s even i ng. , The Stromboli, 6, paddle steam-sloop, Commander Hall, hauled out of dock this afternoon, having had her bottom cleaned. The Vesuvius, 6, paddle-sloop has been paid advance at Spithead to-day. The Rolla, 6, seamen apprentices' instruction brig, Lieutenant Fenwick, of the Victory, in charge, came into harbour, from Spithead, this evening. 1 DEPTFORD, .A.uusT 24. Immediately after the Board of Admiralty concluded its sitting at Whitehall to-day, the Righ Hon. Sir James Graham, First Lord of the Admiralty ; Rear-Admiral the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., Captain Alexander Milne, and the Hon. William Francis Cowper, M.P., Lords of the Admiralty ; C a pt a i n S ir Baldwin alker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Greene, Director of Engineering and Architectural Works, proceeded to Deptford Dockyard, to inspect that establishment. Their lordships arrived at the dock yard at 2 o'clock, having entered at the west gate of the Victualling-yard, and passed through that establishment. On alighting from the carriages they were received by Captain George B. Martin, C. 8., Superintendent of the Dockyard ; Mr. Pearn, master-attendant ; Mr. Mouchet, storekeeper ; Mr. Couch, s t ore - rece i ver ; Mr. Aitchison, secretary ; Dr. Bruce, surgeon of the yard ; and Mr. Bromell, acting in the absence of Mr. Willcox, master. shipwright on leave, and entered the offices of the store keeper, where they remained upwards of an hour inspect ing the books and documents of the yard, and ascertain ing the various details connected with the establishment. On leaving the offices of the storekeeper they proceeded to the blacksmiths' shop, and passing through it, entered the joiners' shop, where they witnessed some beautifully polished wood from the coast of Africa, which has been shown by Mr. Bennett, inspector of joiners, to be far superior in richness of colour and more pleasing to the eye than the best mahogany, although it is of common use in the dockyards. From the joiners' shop their lordships went to the schoolroom, and afterwards to the storerooms, several hundred feet in length, where the old records of the Admiralty are kept ; and some idea may be formed of the variety of manuscripts in the building, when it is stated that a portion, weighing between 600 and 700 tons, was some time sent from Deptford to the tower of London ; and among the rare and valuable papers were muster-rolls and log-books, some of them as far back as the reign of Queen Anne. Passing along the south side of the yard, they visited a spot where it is contemplated to make improved facili ties for stacking timber, and eligible approaches for conveying the heavy materials to the places allotted to protect it from the changes of weather. Their lord ships then went on board the Hannibal, 90, screw steam-ship, now ready in her cradle for launching, but that ceremony is put off until next spring. Their lordships remained some time on board, and on descending at the stern of the vessel inspected the ar rangements made for fitting her with a screw-propeller. From the Hannibal they went to the rigging -house, and inspected the large quantity booftshtotrhees Victualling an d including a large supply of sails and cables. The car riages were ordered at half-past four to proceed to the Victualling-yard and remain in waiting at the Cocoa mills, whieh their lordships inspected to-day, and left town at five o'olock, after having made themselves well acquainted during their two days' inspection with the most important portions of Dock yard at Deptford. WOOLWICH, Aucr. 24. The Rhadamanthus steam-storeship, Master-Com mander Belam, arrived here yesterday from Pembroke, Devonport, and Portsmouth, and will remain about eight or ten days to have some slight defects made good which she sustained while using extra power in en deavouring to move the Caesar, 90, at Pembroke, when she held f as t on the ways. On the Sunday afternoon on which great exertions were made to get the vessel off, the workmen and labourers outside showed their excel lent disposition by offering their services gratuitously to assist those employed inside the yard. The Rhadaman thus has been found most useful in conveying large quantities of stores with dispatch from one yard to an• other when required, and in some instances piling her decks so as to carry as many stores as the Simoom. The Cyclops steam-frigate, now also employed as a dockyard lighter, is effecting a great saving by her em ployment in that capacity, as the whole resources of the various yards can now be made available at any of the yards when requisite, and in a very limited time. board the now in the basin at ' this dockyard, taking on ines the remaining portion of the machinery for the g y. steam-ship of 500-horse power, at Devonport t b o h f o e a r e t r h d e t t l C e e r boilerseCs Cyclops op B a s o n , willad machinery returnS hene:of: Woolwich, andt o h o e w isji I hh e e ,l n to9o, take en o r e deliveredon VALUE OF LAND IN THE CITY OF LONDON.—The estates committee of St. Thomas's Hospital met on Tuesday to receive tenders for a piece of land belonging to their corporation, and which has reverted to them In the course of the improvements in the neighbourhood of and connected with the new Royal Exchange. The land in question is situated at the north-west corner of Finch-lane, which is to be widened and rounded, and contains only about 400 square yards. It is let on lease for a term of 80 years, and for this small piece of land the enormous rent of 1,3001. per annum net has been given d with a condition to Companyonebuilding. This letting, ü b p y on the ita Australasian substant ais t if calculated at its freehold value at th e or di nar y pre - pre sent price of Consols, would represent the extraordinary sum of rather more than 5 20,000/. per acre. CHINESE SAYINGS. —Some of the ordinary expressions of the Chinese are sarcastic enough. A blustering harm less fellow they call "a paper tiger." When a man values himself overmuch they compare him to a "rat falling into a scale and weighing itself." Overdoing a thing they call "a hunchback making a bow." A spendthrift they compare to a rocket which goes off at once. Those who expend their charity on remote ob jects, but neglect their family, are said "to hang their lantern on a pole, which. is awn afar, but giTen no light below," 1
