Such is the title, and I can't help paying A due respect to Rich a truthful saying ; For certainly in every day's excursion, A thousand proofs establish this assertion. The sentiment which such a phrase discloses, Is singularly suitable to MOSES. MOSES and SON have certainly display'd The "finest feathers" ever known in trade, "Feathers of faultless fashion," such as these (Neat, smart, and stylish) cannot fail to please. They decorate whoever may be wearing. And add a grace where nature's rather sparing. The dress of MOSES hides defects, if any, And where the charms are few, it makes them many. And many a person is pronounced a beauty, Merely because these tailors do their duty. Then imitate the birds in autumn weatber, And prudently assume a change of feather. MOSES and SON solicit your inspection Of autumn articles in rare perfection. Which stand nurivalled, and which prove the words Wihch here I quote—" Fine feathers make fine birds. LIST OF PEIC L.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Rogenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 113. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund lace, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it: s far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w drops o❑ the crown et the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, arid prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product V the =est aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing Maur removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal; if v. , ry had, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. it produces air on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infanta' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. —See pamphlet ef testimonials.

Physical incapacity. and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

CRUELTY IN A WORKHOUSE. BOLTON, OCT. 4.—For some days past the greatest excitement has prevailed in this town, in consequence of a rumour which has been pretty generally cir culated, that a man, named John Roth well, an inmate of the workhouse, had been flogged to death by one of the male nurses. The circumstance com ing to the knowledge of Mr. Taylor, the borough coroner, he issued his warrant for holding an inquest on the body, when evidence was adduced. James Rostom deposed that he was an inmate of the borough workhouse. He knew the deceased John Rothwell; he was twenty.seven years old. Witness remembered the deceased going into the hospital on Thursday week. Ile was then afflicted with dysen tery and was attended by Mr. Sharp. The nurse, named Henry Bicknell, was in the habit of beating the inmates with a whip. Witness remembered him striking the deceased about a week ago. Bicknell asked deceased to go to bed, but he said he would not. Bicknell said if he did not go he would make him, and he fetched the whip, which he used about the de ceased's legs ; after which he got hold of the small end, and laid the butt en 3 about deceased's ribs and back. Deceased had only his shirt on at the time ; he got into bed and cried out " murder," upon which Bicknell got hold of a sheet and tied it over his mouth, to prevent him from being heard. On the following morning witness observed that the skin was knocked off from deceased's shoulder blade, and the place looked much inflamed. By the CORONER—He saw Bicknell beat deceased again on Sunday, the 26th. It was between two and three o'clock in the morning. Bicknell wanted deceased to get into bed, but he would not, where upon he struck deceased several times over the tem ples, which caused him to fall on the floor. He was assisted up again by witness. There was no cause for Bicknell to strike the deceased. When Bicknell brought in the whip, he said he had bought it on purpose for them. Witness was afraid to inform the Governor of Bicknell's conduct for fear he should treat him in the same way. He remembered a female nurse inquiring about the wounds upon deceased, and also how he got a black eye. Witness said he had fallen against a bedpost. He knew he was telling a falsehood, but he durst not say to the contrary, for fear of Bicknell. _ _ _ Several other paupers were examined, all of whom corroborated the above testimony. Mr. Sharp, the surgeon, said he saw deceased on Tuesday week. He ordered him to be removed to the hospital. The complaint was dysentery. He also appeared to be a man of imbecile mind. Wit ness attended him from the time of his removal. He observed a few days before his death a skin wound a little below the cheek bone, which was attended with a black eye. Witness asked what had caused it, and was told that it was produced by deceased falling when he got out in the night. 'Witness had made a post mortent examination ; he considered the cause of death was dysentery, and he considered the conduct of the nurse towards the deceased was most brutal. 'there certainly was not any occasion to use violence to the deceased. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from dysentery, but they cannot separate without ex pressing their abhorrence of the brutal and inhuman conduct of Bicknell, and they desired that he should at once be removed from the situation." ATTEMPTED SALE OF THE SURREY AND SUSSEX ROADS.—THE EFFECT OF RAlLWAYS.—Yesterday, at one o'clock, a general meeting of the trustees of the Surrey and Sussex roads, Mr. Shadbolt in the chair, was held at the Sessions-house, Newington, fir the pur pose of letting the tolls in the counties of Surrey and Sussex, arising from the gates and bars at Newington, Camberwell, Kennington, Vauxhall, Kingston, Croydon, East Grinstead, &c., which were put up at the sum of 32,250/., for which they were let the previous year. The lease cf them was to be from the 31st December next for twelve months. Much interest was excited on this occasion, as, i❑ consequence of the extension of the line of the South-Western Railway from Nine Elms to the York•roa'l, which it is expected will be open in six months, and which will incur a loss of revenue of about 6,0001. per annum, it was thought that a reduc tion would be proposed to that amount. Upon the conditions of sale being read, one of which was " that in case the South• Western Railway should open their intended line during the year 1848, the lessee should be at liberty to vacate his lease by giving thirty-five days' notice of his intention to do so." Mr. T. Bewley said that the trustees had no power to introduce a con dition which was not specified in the notice of sale. The chairman maintained that the trustees had the power to introduce the condition. Mr. Bewley observed that he diffared with the dictum of the chairman, though he would bow to his decision. The tolls were then put up, but there was no offer for them, and it was stated in the course of the sale, that during the last four weeks there had been a falling off of 1001. per week, in consequence of the railways south of the Thames. SCENERY ABOUT ANNE HATHAWAY'S COTTAGE.— The scenery about the place is much the same as it must have been a couple of centuries past. The weird hollows, the deep paths through the orchard, the sunken lanes, the rivulet singing through the sedge grass under the drooping foliage that hides it from the light, are all of the same character as of old, and appear to have suffered hardly any change to make way for modern improve ments. As you walk through these primitive haunts, you cannot help fancying how often Shakspere must have walked there, looking into the eyes of Anne Hathaway, and speculating dimly on the high destiny of which he must have had conscious glimpses in his inspired boyhoode—atlas. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. The Royal Mail steam-packet Teviot, Captain E. May, arrived at Southampton soon after noon yes terday, bringing the usual mails, in charge of Lieutenant Denston, R.N., Admiralty agent, and 39 passengers. Her dates are :—Tampico, 25th of August; Vera Cruz, Ist of September; Havannah, 10th; Nassau, 13th; Honduras, 19th; Puerto Ca bello, 3d ; St. Jago de Cuba, 3d; La Guayra, 7th ; Jamaica, Bth; Jacmel, 10th ; Puerto Rico, 12th ; Demerara, 4th; Tobago, 6th; Trinidad, sth; Bar badoes, Bth; Grenada, 9th; St. Vincent, 10th; St. Lucia, 10th; Martinique, Dominique, and Guada lupe, 11th ; Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, and St. Kitt's, 12th ; Tortola, 13th ; St. Thomas's, 14th ; Bermuda, 20th. The Teviot brings 407,650 dolls. on merchants' accounts, but none for dividends; 7191 oz. of 'Plata bruta; Bilb. of platina ; 80 bales of tobacco; 95 cases of cigars ; 40 serons of cochineal, and 49 pack ages of sundries. She has encountered very severe weather on her homeward voyage since the 27th ult., which, in a great measure, accounts for her non arrival on Tuesday or Wednesday. She left her Majesty's ship Persian at Vera Cruz, and two French and three American corvettes; her Majesty's survey ing ships Thunder and Lark, at Bermuda, and also the Growler steamer, from the coast of Africa. The Royal Mail packet Medway left Havannah, Sept. 9, for Vera Cruz. The Trent was at Grenada, bound for Jamaica; the Conway left Grenada, Sept. 9, for Trinidad ; the Reindeer left Barbadoes, Sept. 8, for Demerara; the Clyde was at Jamaica, and would leave for England on the 23d of September; the Eagle at St. Thomas's, the 14th,. and the Dee at Bermuda, when the Teviot left. Mr. Edwards, Ordnance storekeeper, died on board the Royal Mail steam-packet Eagle, and was buried at St. Thomas's, with military honours; and Mr. C. Beverley, Deputy-Assistant Commissary-General, died on board the Teviot, sth of October, and was buried at sea. Lieutenant Miller, R.N., late Ad miralty agent of the Great Western, died at the hospital, liavannah, August 11. We have received our usual files of papers by the Teviot, and learn from them that the Chamber of Commerce, Jamaica, had been organizing a combined movement in aid of the West India Colonies, and by a circular, dated Sept. 8, dispatched per Teviot to Barbadoes, Trinidad, Antigua, St. Vincent, and De merara, and by other means to other places, a meet ing of two delegates from each West India Isle and British Guinea had been convened, to take place at St. Thomas's, then and there to consider the evils to which the British planter was exposed by the effects of free trade on colonial productions. We publish the circular.from the Jamaica Dispatch of the Bth ult.:— " Chamber of Commerce, Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 8, 1847. - " Sir,—lt has appeared advisable to this Chamber that, in the present alarming condition of West India property under the unequal competition to which the British planter has been exposed by the application of free trade to colonial productions, some combined de monstration should be made by all the West India colonies, in the hope that by an energetic and unani mous appeal to the justice of the British people the ruin which seems impending may be averted. "So far as Jamaica is concerned, it is clear that such a competition as that to which she is now ex• posed must, at a very early period, extinguish sugar cultivation altogether; and this Chamber cannot doubt that most of th other West India colonies must equally with herself sink under so unjust a system. " Under these circumstances it is proposed by this Chamber that a convocation of delegates from each of the West India islands, as well as from British Guiana, should assemble, at such an early day as may be agreed on, at the island of St. Thomas, in order to re solve on such a combined movement in support of the declining interests of these important colonies as may carry with it all the weight and importance due to the property and intelligence of her Majesty's subjects in the West Indies. "It is suggested that meetings with this view should be held throughout the several islands, and two delegates selected from each, for the purpose above mentioned, and I am directed to request that the Chamber may be made acquainted at as early a period as possible with the wishes of your colony upon this subject. —I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, " WILLIAM GIROD, Secretary." The following from the Jamaica Dispatch is very satisfactory as regards the weather, and other accounts confirm the favourable change : "THE WEATHER IN ST. MARY'S.—We are glad to learn that copious showers have lately fallen in the above parish, which had suffered so severely from a drought of long continuance, whereby the estates had been considerably retarded, not only in the manufac ture of produce, from want of water to supply the wills and engines, but in establishing a growing field. Canes already fit for the bill could not be subjected to that process in consequence of the loss of tops it would have involved. But since the rains, to all appearance, set in, the estates have been active in every depart ment." The Trinidad Standard of the 4th ult. gives the following account of the position of that island : " During the month we have had a continuance of the most seasonable weather. The pluvioineter at our office indicates the depth of rain fallen from August 5,h to date as havi ng b een 8 inches 3 . l oths. It will be seen by thi s th at we have had an a b un dance of rain. The he a t d ur i ng the earlier part o f the month especially has b een unusually great, arid a catarrhal epidemic has pr eva il e d to a great extent, ass uming n i the cases of children attacked by it the form of hoop ing cough. I n other respectse believe, the island , w is generally healthy. O n the 21st we were visited, at twenty minutes past one o'clock, A.M., with a sh o ck of earthquake, w hi c h we learn from o ur intercolonial files was also felt at Grenada. The pro duce shipped to date has been as follows cr Suar-24,853 hhds., 1,838 tierces, 5,676 barrels. Molasses-9,903 puns., 341 tierces. Rum -389 puns. Cocoa-3,181,5611b. Coffee-102,5411b. C otton-41 serons; an d the num ber of immigrant s arr i ved has been — men, 1,652 ; women, 583 ; children, 303 ; making a total of 2,538 from the Ist of January. Our arrivals this month have been rather scanty. " The steamer Growler, the vessel set apart by her Majesty's Government for immigration purposes, arrived here on her way back from Demerara, where she carried four hundred and fifty-nine liberated Africans, taken from captured slavers. Her next trip will be for the b ene fi t of this colony. It i s to b e h ope d that this arrangement may prove completely success ful, and that, in consequence, we may h ave a l arger accession to our labou ring popu l at i on o f e ff ec ti ve an d permanently resident labourers." The ordinance which had passed fixing is. per gallon on all rum made for local consumption was most unpopular, and public meetings were being held to obtain a removal of the restriction. The drought continued at Barbadoes and Grenada.

(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.) The business of the past fortnight has not been marked with any new feature ; indeed, there has not been any change in the state of our market since the period of our last issue. Some trifling improvement has occurred in the price of a few articles, but it is to be attributed rather to their scarcity then to the re vival of a speculative demand. Purchases continue to be made merely for immediate consumption, while the pressure on the money market has not been re lieved in the slightest degree. Flour—The market for this article has slightly improved, the reduced stock, and the intelligence from America of an advance in prices there, having created a better inquiry. The only sale of any con sequence, however, which has been effected since our last issue, was one of 1,000 b arrels Baltimore, at 36s cash. New Orleans is 32s., el t s h e ol q d u l a a l r i tdyflboeuirn moved, with di ffi culty, at g ha i s nd ch iff A barrel. Th ere arrived ba r a e n r g e e n d t. hands p a a r t Ce 3 l O o s f .

We have received from a correspondent the follow ing account of the late actions before Mexico : The United States army, under General Scott, be gan leaving Puebla on the 17th of August. They arrived at Azatla on the 14th, but finding the Penon too strong to take without considerable loss, they re treated to Chalco, and went round by Icochirnielo to San Augustin. This road was considered so imprac ticable by the Mexicans that they entirely neglected to defend it, but the American Pioneers seem to be admirable, and the army rather unexpectedly made their appearance at San Augustin on the 17th. Still finding strong fortifications at San Antonio and Chu rubusco, which they thought better to attack on the flank, they made an artillery road over the Pedregal towards San Angel, where they met General Valencia with 5,000 men and 20 guns, who endeavoured to prevent their passage by that point. Deeming it more advisable not to leave him behind them, they drove him, upon the evening of the 19th towards the Magdelana, where he took up an excellent position. In the night, however, they completely surrounded him with only 3,000 men, and at break of day attacked and dispersed his division at the point of the bayonet, without the assistance of a single gun, takingall his pieces. General Valencia escaped to Tolu ca, where he is now trying to get up a revolution against Santa Anna, upon whom he throws the blame of his defeat, a proceding which may somewhat impede ne gotiations. The same American division, with rein forcements, then proceeded to attack Churubusco and San Antonio on the flank. Here they met with a more obstinate resistance, principally from a body of about 100 American deserters, who had been enrolled by the Mexicans, who pointed the guns beautifully, and fought like devils. After three hours' hard fighting, the Americans gained a complete victory, took 3,000 prisoners, among whom were seven general officers, and 20 pieces of cannon. Their way was now open to Mexico, with the exception of some slight works at the Garitas. However, the same evening Santa Anna sent a message to Scott, saying that if he would agree not to come into the city, he would listen to propositions of peace. General Scott, with a prudence and moderation for which he deserves the greatest credit, and by which he created almost a mutiny in his army, agreed to this, saying that he should take up his quarters nearer the city, which he did next day at Tacabuya. An armistice has since been signed, and commissioners have been appointed to meet Mr. Trist at a small village, Itzcapusalco, about a league from Mexico ; they are Jose J. Herrera, Mo ray Villarnee, Bernardo Orieto, and Atristain, all men inclined for peace ; but there are too many of them. Several deputies declare that the will not meet here, but at Queretaro. Santa Anna s influence seems to be on the wane. General Paredes landed from the Teviot on the 14th of August, and, in consequence of the American authorities having done away with all the former Mexican customs of visiting ships on their arrival, he passed through the city, and escaped into the country with perfect ease. While the Teviot was absent at Tampico, the Governor of Vera Cruz, find ing that he was likely to get into a serious scrape through his negligence, endeavoured to lay blame upon the captain of the steamer, and forbade his land ing on his return from Tampico, although no other obstacle was put to the communication with the shore. It was somewhat laughable that the captain was the only person in the ship who was unable to land, hav ing broken his leg some time previously. It did not appear that General Paredes' arrival was reported in Mexico when the steamer left Vera Cruz, but it was stated that he had reached Guadalaxara. It was thought that General Valencia would join him, and great fears-were entertained that his arrival would seriously embarrass the negotiations for peace. Great sickness prevailed among the American troops, both at Tampico and Vera Cruz, as well as on board their men-of-war, though both these places were otherwise very heal thy. The Sun of Anahuac, of Sept. 1, an American paper, published at Vera Cruz, gives the following account of the terms of the armistice, preceded by some characteristic observations of its own : " liuzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!—Great Victory 32,000 Mexicans defeated by 7,000 Americans—Our army has again covered itself with glory. The English courier has just arrived, and the news — news we say—is that General Santa Anna and 30,000 men have been defeated, whipped, and com pletely routed. Our troops engaged those of the enemy about three miles from the capital of Mexico, where they were strongly entrenched. After a com bat of two hours they (the enemy) were put to flight. The enemy's forces amounted to 32,000, and our forces to 7,000. Three more cheers for the American army. Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! " The enemy's 32,000 men were driven to the gates of the city of Mexico, by our 7,000 men, at the point of the bayonet. " Four commissioners were sent to General Scott from the city of Mexico. " The news came by the English Courier, and therefore we suppose that no one would dare to con tradict, which says all we have said. This letter is dated Tacubaya, three miles from Mexico, Aug. 26. " N.B. We have just seen in the Diario del Go bierno that an armistice of 48 hours was granted by General Scott. " We publish to-day a second edition of our paper of yesterday, in order to give our readers the articles of the armistice which was granted by General Scott. We copy all the documents which we found in the Diario del Gobierno. Some of the communications are in the Spanish language. The want of time kept us from translating them, as the steamer leaves this morning for New Orleans. They will be understood. We will issue an extra, if possible, before the Mary Kingsland leaves with Santa Anna's manifesto." " The undersigned, appointed - respectively, the three first by Major-General Winfield Scott, Com mander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, and the two last by his Excellency D. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, President of the Mexican Republic, and Commander-in-Chief 'of its armies, met with full powers, which were duty verified in the village of Tacubaya, on the 22d of August, 1847, to enter into an armistice for the purpose of giving the Mexican Government an opportunity of receiving: : propositions of peace from the Commissioner appointed by the President of the United States, and now with the American army, when the following articles were agreed upon : • " Art. 1. Hostilities shall instantly and absolutely cease between the armies of the United States of America and the United Mexican States within 30 leagues of the capital of the latter States, to allow time to the Commissioner appointed by . the United States, and the Commissioner to be appointed by the Mexican Republic, to negotiate. " 2. This armistice shall continue as long as the Commissioners of the two Governments may be en gaged on negotiations, or until the commander of either of the said armies shall give formal notice to the other of the cessation of the armistice, and for forty-eight hours after such notice. " 3. In the mean time neither army shall, within 30 leagues of the city of Mexico, commence any new fortification or military work of offence or defence, or do anything to enlarge or strengthen any existing wo rk or fortification of that character within the said limits. 6, 4. Neither army shall be reinforced within the same. Any reinforcements in troops or munitions of war, other than subsistence now approaching either army, shall be stopped at the distance of 28 leagues I roma tbo city of t,~-~~-~ GQ -~~= it bred, the holders being unwilling to submit the current rates. The conslption is active, but the stock is still enormous. Rice—Caroline is very scarce, and the supply of East India of all descriptions extremely moderate. The latter may be quoted at 20s. to 245. per 100 lb according to quality. Bread—One hundred barrels each Baltimore and New York Pilot have been sold at 205., and about the same quantity of of Watson's at the same rate. Navy and crackers are wanted. A vessel fram Philadelphia has brought upwards of 400 barrels, principally of Pilot. Butter—An arrival of 150 firkins from Cork took place immediately after our last issue, for which 14d. per pound was obtained in parcels. Another parcel of 700 firkins has just come in, but we have not as yet heard of any operations therein. The sales in Halifax had been 120 kegs at 12d. to 12id., and 70 firkins and 60 kegs at 124-1 per pound. 300 kegs have since come in from Philadelphia. Lard—The transactions in this article have been 100 firkins Irish, at 11d., 200 kegs, Baltimore, in a soft state, at Sid., and 90 kegs, rather better, but not prime, at 101 Some parcels of American, in jars, have realised Hid. per pound. 600 kegs have arrived also from Philadelphia. Candles—The stock of this article is now ample ; short B's, 14's, and 16's are in demand at Bd. to but 6's and 10's are inactive at 71d. per lb. Compo sition are scarce; the only size, however, in demand is short 6's. Codfish—The remainder of the cargoes alluded to in our last were disposed of at 12s. 6d. to 14s. for old, and 14s. to 14s. 6d. for new catch in casks, with 18s. for boxes. A small lot of new, which subsequently arrived, commanded 16i. for large, and 15s. tor ordinary sized fish, in casks, and 17s, 6d. to 18s. 6d. in boxes. These sales had been all effected when a large arrival occurred, for which 14s. for old, and 15s. for new catch in casks, and 18s. in boxes,. were paid; but a portion has since been rejected, in con sequence of its proving unmerchantable. Another cargo of new catch, subsequently received, com manded 15s. and 18s. in casks and boxes reTectively. The stock is now small. Large casks, that is hogs heads and tierces 6's, are not in so good demand as small ones. Soap—The arrivals of soap, both from Liverpool and Cork, have been to some extent, and have ex ceeded the demand. The only transaction of any moment, since our last, has been the sale of 2,000 boxes Steele's feather, 481b5., at 124. per box. Pork-300 barrels of prime have changed hands at 60s. per barrel in bond- The supply has been very much reducsd, and the stock is, at this moment, very light. A small lot of Frith, in half barrels, was dis posed of at 60s. per half barrel, but a subsequent, arrival has lowered the rate to 58s. Beef—The stock is fair. American, in half barrels, is worth 50s. to 525. Rounds are unsaleable. Tongues—Pigs are in great request, with a bare market. Ox tongues are unsaleable. Hams—American are taken at 7d. .to 81., accord ing to quality. Lancashire are inactive at 103. per lb. Cheese—the very small supply on hand has forced the prices of D. G. up to 121 , 1. per lb.

Tobacco—The stock of Cavendish is heavy, while the demand is inactive. 25 boxes, 20's, and 32's, have been moved at 'lid., but larger sizes cannot command more than 7d. per lb.

A special meeting of the English shareholders in this company was held yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, at the Bridge House Hotel, for the purpose of receiving the report of a committee appointed some time ago, and to determi ne upon the course to be adopted with respect to it. J. Macgregor, Esq., occupied the chair. There was a numerous attendance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN read the report, which extended over 'several folios. It stated that the committee had sought an interview with the directors of the Bou logne and Amiens Railway with resnect to the affairs of the company either in Boulogne, Paris, or London, which, after various communications, had been re fused. The committee met on the 25th ult., and agreed to various emenditions of the statutes, with the view of being submitted to the general meeting on the 30th, at Paris. They were to the following effect :—that the meetings should be held at Boulogne; that the directors should be voted remuneration at each general meeting ; that three directors should be elected at each meeting ; that every twenty shares or under should entitle the holder to one vote, and every additional five shares one vote, and that holders of proxies should be entitled to use them to the fullest extent ; that twenty shareholders, holding 200 shares or upwards, should be entitled to request the holding of a meeting within twenty-one days of the receipt of the requisition, and that the reports should be cir culated live days before each meeting; that being a director in the Paris and Rouen, the Rouen and Havre, or the Rouen and Dieppe should be a disqua lification for the office of director in this company, Mr. Devaux, Mr. Boxendale, arid Capt. Tindal, the first of whom had resigned his office as a director, had sought to settle matters, but they had been unable to come to any satisfactory arrangement. The other direc tors declared that the meeting from which the com mittee emanated on the 17th of September was irre gular, and refused to receive the amendments, so that they could be en t er t a i ne d on t h e 30th. The committee had taken legal advice, and they were in. formed that in the event of anything happening by which they might be lost that the directors would be re , ponsible, and that resignation would not remove it. Mr. DEVAUX said he still had the utmost confidence in the house of Lafiitte and Co., which held a vast amount of their capital, and that the amount they held was safe.—(llear, hear.) He explained that 200,0001. was inveAed in discount bills, and that he had so much confidence in those bills that he should have no objection to discount them—(Hear)-4/ per cent. interest was paid upon the money. There could be no less upon those bills. Captain WARREN said he had paid great attention to the prospects of the company, and his opinion was that it would ultimately pay 8/. 10s. per cent. The CHAIRMAN addressed the int eting. H e re . gretted the course things had taken, becauao he be lieved that the line would have cemented a friendly feeling between the two countries. lie suggested that notice should be served upon all the directors, stating their liabilities, which, embodied as a motion with the report of the committee, was carried. HQ went on to say that those interested in adverse it,. terests should not have a seat at the board, and that the great body of the shareholders should insist, not withstanding the opposition of the directors, on the propositions of the committee. Their _influence at the forthcomi ng mee ti ng m i g ht b e amid, but still it was incumbent upon those to wt .. , it. The committee was Appointed, and the Chairman offered to convey Shareholders to Boulogne and back again free of expense. passed to the Ch a i rman, and the Amveoettei meeting g f stehpaanrkaster THE SHAKSPERE MuLEERRY.--There is a mul berry-tree in the garden of the White Lion at Stratford, which was planted by Mr. Payton from a scion or cutting of the veritable mulberry when that tree was cut down by the barbarian hands of the Rev. Mr. Gastrell, a gen tleman who promises fair to descend to posterity in com pany with the anonymous " youth who fired the Ephe- Sian dome." Now, it is only ninety years since Shak spere's mulberry was cut down, and there are people in the town who re member Mr. Payton, and th e anec d o t e reason for of the young mulbet ry ; so th a t th ere i s no very good • throwing a doubt upon the story —except one which is suggested by the tree itself. Perhaps the soil is peculiarly favourable to the growth of mulberries; bow that may be I know not ; but the lofty stature and the enormous knarled branches of the Payton-Shakspere mulberry, which are preserved by great iron chains trom being broken down by their owu weight, stem to me to indicate a growth of centuries. It is certainly a most wonderful mulberry for its years, if the story be true.-- Atlas.
