The object of this Company is to offer the following advantages to travellers, which have never yet been attempted:- 1. Economy of time. 2. Diminution in the expenditure of hotels, couriers, servants, &c , of at least 20 per cent. 3. The knowledge, before departure, of the exact expense to be incurred. 4 Exemption from the annoyanus attending payments of fares by rai:road, steam-boat, hotel 1,.115, luggage, guides, &c. 5. Protection from the loss so frequently experienced in changing money. 6. Being enabled to travel with the most perf!ct security and com fort through all countries, without previous acquaintance with either their language or customs. To enable the Company to accomplish these desirable results, they have made the necessary arrangements watt the various hotels, the different means of conveyance, whether by steam or diligence, and the several local authorities on the continent, by which every traveller will, at his departure from London, or any place en the continent, by a preliminary payment, be furnished with certificates for ever, pur pose requisite on the route, for every hotel, and fur every means of conveyance, which, on presentation, will entitle the holder to be fur nished with the best accommodation at an uniform and reduced rate. Ile will also be furnished with letters of credit on every leading town on the continent, as the 'ompany, in part of their arrange ments, have with the leading bankers of these places a guarantee fund always standing to their credit, and in every place of note an agent of the Company will be stationed, whose duty it will be to give every informat ion required. The saving to the traveller will be at least 20 per cent., indepen dent of the convenience, surety, and additional comfort ; while from the arrangements made with the several parties with whom the Com pany are in correspondence, a certain return of at least 10 per cent. may be assured upon the capital invested. The deposit of ls. per share wtll meet all preliminary expenses, and it is anticipated that no further call than 11. per share will be required to carry out the final operations of the Company. The calls will be made in instalments not exceeding 10s. each, and they will be lodged at the Company's hankers abroad, bearing in terest of 4 per cent. in favour of the Company, as securities to the contracting parties for the payment of the certificates issued by the Company, and who will immediately thereupon commence their operations.

The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid the efforts now making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the Relief of the Foreigner, the Stranger, the Friendless, and the Outcast, when in Sickness or Disease, who are here received so far as the means of the Institution will permit. Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary : were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit the Institu tion is intended would not know how or where to obtaiu them, and while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability, perish unheeded and unknown ; a melancholy instance of which kind gave rise to the founding of this charity. A large debt, which is now gradually being reduced, still encumbers the operations of the . Committee, but confiding in the spirit and benevolence of an English public in support of such a charity, they fearlessly continue their efforts to meet the urgent appeals daily made at their gates by the most miserable and wretched of the human race.

'REMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION. A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the delects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentieraan residing at Wortharn, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning front itarlestone alarket to Wei bred, where he then re sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con 'ineed to come off, ti►l he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly bald as if Iris head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of tire pariah, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, be was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAft OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the growth recommenced, and he has new to boost of a very thick and 'luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to les'ea4 his haft* it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation.—hell's Messenger. ROWLAND'S MACASSAIt OIL preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grcy ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. . 4 * Beware of "spurious compounds" under the title of "MA CASSAR OIL," some under the " implied" sanction of Royalty and he Government Departments, with similar attempts at deception.

Sz..a,—The time being rapidly approaching, when that root must.be planted the failure of which has caused and is still eausing . so_much misery both in our own and the sister kingdom; ma .1 venture to suggest a plan which I feel confident would much alleviate, if not wholly prevent, the disease. It has been imputed, and I think with good reason, by soma one to the swarms of green insects vhich covered the whole of the vegetable kingdom during the spring and early summer months of last year, which, by preventing the proper growth of the haulm, siaused them to wither gradually away, and by that .neans aff.•ctfng the tubers. To prevent this I would suggest to the growers of potatoes that they collect all ..tie waste rubbish they can, with which after the potatoes have grown about six inches in height they .hnuld cause fires to be lighted.i❑ different parts of the '.field or gat den, as the case may bt-, by vi hich means they would easily destroy the greeter part of the insects, thus .easing the plant free to imbibe the atmosphere essential o its full developtnent. The early dawn I consider. %uuld ht: the b3.t tim e , as the ►moke will curl along tt►e round fur a greater distznce; it coull llkewise be Ciatie iided by having a rick-cloth stretched across a few hurdles placed at suitable distance. In gas dens, I am confident, were this plan generally applied, We should lave but few failures of the fruit crops in future years compared with the past. Trusting some at least may be induced to try thji in expensive remedy fOr the blight both in the potato and other crops, the benefit arising therefrom will end in something more than mere smoke. I am, Sir, &c., J. B. Southampton-buildings, March 17, x 847. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAILS. BRUSSELS, MARCH 15.—We are happy to say that :he fruit tieeiery kind never appeared to promise more - pleduce. The late frosts have hitherto checked the vegetation, and we have reason to hope that this year will furnish a great abundance of fruit ; ind, considering the advanced season, we may believe chat the unfavourable weather has not destroyed the immense quantity of buds which cover the trees. Ex• cept rapeseed, which has suffered slightly by the frost, It the crops have the most promising appearance. The Journal du Commerce er Anvers says—" rhe ac counts which we receive of the market of Louvain to- (lay announce a decline in the prices of corn, but they were not exactly known on 'Change to-day." Several respectable merchants of Antwerp propose to tddress a petition to the Chambers for the entire freedom Hof the trade in corn. At the market of Aron, on Thursday last, wheat which the week before was quoted tit 331. 12c. rose to 40f. The Echo du Luxemburg says Our inhabitants view with resignation and composure, this rise in the pricts. They hope that the Govern ment will not fail in its duty by abandoning them. They Lsk tor work and not for alms." A letter from Riga 'of the 20th of Feb., says, "the merchants of this city have just made large purchases if corn. As soon as the ice breaks up in the Dwina 50,000 lasts of rye are expected to be brought down by boats (a last is equal to 304 hectolitres), 5,000 or 6,000 lasts of wheat, and 20,000 lasts of barlty, will be sent away as soon as possible. It is calculated that nearly 1,000 boats will be necessary for this purpose. The Bremen Gazette, announcing the arrival of an American Consul, says that it is more probable that the Grand Duchy is going to conclude a treaty of commerce aid navigation with the United States, or that it will participate in the treaty, which the States has just con cluded with Hanover. The town of Mountjoy, a few leagues of Aix la Cha pelle, is in danger cf being swallowed up in parts, by the sinking down of the mountain which overhangs it. It is feared that the melting of the snow has led to this catastrophe. VIENNA, MAncu B.—Count Francis Stadian, the Go vernor of Trieste, arrived yesterday in Vienna. He is spoken of as desigLed for the government of Gallicia. Count Deyru is still here to discuss the rela tions of Cracow. DESTRUCTION OF THE THEATRE AT CARLSRUHE. GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.—On Sunday, March 7, mass was performed at the Romau Catholic church, for the sufferers who perished in the conflagration of the 20th of February, Mozart's Requiem was celebrated by the whole body of performers of the Royal Opera, and of the Royal Chapel. The entire body of the church was thronged by persons of every class, who manifested the most lively sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers. On the 10th of March, a circular was issued in Bremen. inviting the co-operation of all the theatres in Germany to a benefit on behalf of those who suffereo from the destruction at the theatre at Carlsruhe, and stating that Bremen, although so far removed from the scene of suffering, desires to be foremost in the laudable example of send ing succ.)ur. The announcement says, el the theatre has caused the affliction, $o let the .heatres now afford consolation. This titmly sympathy will, it is hoped, in some degree ameliorate the deep I 'tuff:ring . , and afford seasonable relief to many a be trayed heart and hapless orphan, and thus the, detailed accounts of this calamity given in °Ur - journal may - yield beneficial fruit. THE HAGUE, MAncu IG.—The Members of the First Chamber of the States-Generat are summoned to meet In the 24th of March next. _ _ _ The Cologne Gazette of yesterday published the following article : ihe Dutch Government is at this moment negotiating with the Z illverein and with France, in order to obtain- facilities for its commercial relations with those new states. Hol land is especially desirous to extend its maritime trade and to retain the commerce of the Rhine, not withstanding the competition of Belgium. The cor respondents of several journals are, however, mistaken when they affirm that secondary concessions have been offered by the Cabinet of the Hague in exchange for the favours which it desires to obtain prom the Zollverein. If we are well informed it is contemplated to grant to the states of the Zollverein in the Dutch ports the same great advantages which they enjoy in the port of Antwerp. As a condition "sine qua non" Holland insists on the abolition, or a considerable reduction of the tolls on the Rhino; and we know from good authority, that several German Governments on the banks of the It'iine see this subject in the same light.

METROPOLIS.-The MORTALITY IN THE Registrar- General's return for the week ending Saturday, March 13, shows a decrease in the mortality of London, the number of deaths being 1,026, while the average for the season is 1,068. The fatality of diseases of the respiratory organs, which was 40 remarkable a few weeks ago, now nearly corresponds with the usual amount. Small-pox, of which there were seven fatal cases, is evidently on the increase. The registrar of Haggerstone West states that five deaths from this disease had occurred in one family within three weeks, and that a sixth child, who alone remained, was lying dangerously ill. The parents had repeatedly refused to permit their children to be vaccinated. The number of births registered during the week is 1,435; 740 males, 695 females. The mean tem perature of the week was 35.7. WEST INDIA SUGAR CANES AND BANANAS.—A supply of these tropical luxuries has been consigned n Keeling and Hunt, the colonists being desirous of adding to our spring and summer productions, which, by the aid of thi royal mail steamers are bought to this country in a fey days. These articles are but a precursor to the importation of pine• apples, which will SOO follow the above novelties for cousuinVtioll in England. . . THE ~C HRISTIAN COMMON WEALTH" FAVOURABLY ENTER GAINED BY THE POPE. We learn by letters from Rome that Mr. J. M. Morgan, the benevolent and indefatigable proje c t or o f th e Ch r i st i a n Commonwealth, or self-supporting village of 300 families, has been honoured by an interview. with his Holiness the Pope, at'which he was permitted to explain his plan for ameliorating the condition of the working classes. His Holiness was pleased to expresi the great interest which he felt in the design, and his approbation of its charitable pur pose. Ile accepted copies of Mr. Morgan's work, the " Christian Commonwealth," in French and English, and a lithographic print illustrative of the proposed village : having previously allowed a transparent painting of the same to he placed in his apartment, and having devoted to it consideraUe attention. The most patient consideration has been given to the design by the different r -lig,ious bodies of Rome, especially by the Scotch and Irish colleges; by the latter it was recognised as the most likely gleans, under • Providence, of averting the evils which :tact. the sister island. We learn, moreover, that the Pope has referred Mr. Morgan's proposals to the, eximination of the Agricul tural commission, of which the Cardinal Ma-situo is pre sident ; and that it is expected their report will be followed up by the establishment of a model village in the Cam pagna di Roma. Such a movement on the part of the head of the Catholic Church demands the utnrtst grati. tude from Christians of all denominations; whom we trust it will excite to emulation in a work so noble and excellent, and so highly calculated to relieve the pre sent and prevent the future sufferings of the industrious poor. The following extract from the Roman Advertiser, of a date previous to that of Mr. Morgan's interview with his Holiness, will show the estimation in which ou worthy countryman is held in the eternal city . " PROJECT FOR A CHRISTIAN COLONY.—In countries where commercial prosperity has risen to its highest it is often found that the mural and social condition of the labour ing classes has sunk to its lowest degree. The wealth of nations is sometimes found to advance in an inverse ratio with every exalted and spiritual interest of national life. In our intense conviction that the only Cat holicon for these withering tendencies ofovergrowing wealth and luxury is the Church, the grand social regenerator, we are yet happy to see any effort of philanthropy to stem this current of evil, this gross prin. ciple of materialism, whose blighting sway, like the lipas tree, spreads death around to all that is noble, generous, and holy; even if this may appear impossible to reduce to prac tice. Such we are no. disposed to think is the project above-named, which Mr. J. M Morgan, who is now in Rome, has benevolently devoted himself to the further ance of, and is anxious to subalit to the consideration of his Holiness, who, as the Common Father of the Faithful, is the proper person to be consulted on any project aiming at the promotion of the principles of the Gospel. The prospectus of this undertaking recei% es sanc tion from the names of several of the English nobility. and highly respected ministers of the Protestant communion. It states that the object is to be found in any, or all coun tries, Catholic or Protestant, where funds may be raised, a model colony for the establishment of 300 families, under the management of directors, renting about 1,000 acres of land, with a church and public offices attached, schools, farms, and a factory, so that all the essentials to social wel fare may be combined with the action of religious and moral influences, and as much as by any outward agency can, a life of virtue, peace, and comfort be secured to all. The theory of this little colony very much resembles that of the Republic of Paraguay, which, under the guidance of the Jesuit fathers, long presented the aspect of a moral oasis in history, a contradiction to the selfish economy of anti-Chris tian institutions. Mr. Morgan observes that if this plan was generally understood it could be speedily adopted, at d prove the means of furnishing the destitute population of Ireland and Scotland, and indeed of all countries, with immediate remunerating employment in preparing the establishments. MURDER IN SHOREDITCH. At Worship-street Police-court, yesterday, Thomas Brookes, a young man of very miserable and emaciated ap pearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with the wiltul murder of William Gobart, an umbrella maker, living in Hare-alley, Shoreditch. Mr. Vann, the solicitor ' attended for the prisoner. The first witness called was a young man named Richard Eaton, who stated that at ten o'clock on the preceding night he was requested by the deceased to accompany him and two other young men to the lodgings of the prisoner at No. 3, Hare-alley, to demand the restoration of some articles belonging to him, and in the prisoner's possession. The deceased remained at the end of the court while witness went to the house to call the prisoner, who accompanied him back, and on deceased demanding his property, the prisoner told him that he should not have it until he paid him what he owed him, and perhaps not even then. Without any further observation on gither side, the prisoner told the de ceased, "If you wait here a minute I will put a bullet Ilk through your head," and so saying licNkiantly h ned back and entered his own house. V r itnarlklvised e ceased not to stay any longer, burthe latter answered lAt he had nothing to fear, and persist.' in doing so, upon which witness left him and proceeded to his own home about twenty yards off, but bad only been there a few minutes, when he heard the loud report of a gun, and directly after wards a lad whom he had just left with the deceased, called out, " Dick, Dick, come down, he has shot him." Witness thereupon ran down the court, and upon enter.ng the passage of the prisoner's house, found the decea s ed lying in a pool of blood, and apparently lifele.si. Charles Eaton, brother of the last witness, end cousin to the deceased, confirmed the preceding testimony, and added thst a few minutes atter the prisoner had uttered the above threat witness accompanied the deceased to the door of the house, which the latter was about to enter, but had only pit his foot upon the threshold when the prisoner, who had beers secreted behind the door, suddenly presented himself and discharged some firearm into the deceased's face. The act was so instantaneous that witness could not see the piece, but the flash was immediately followed by a stunning report, and the deceased fell forward upon his tace in the passage. Wit ness took him by the arms and endeavoured to raise him, but was unable to eo so, and hurried off for the assistance of the police. James Bodkins, who was also present at the occurrence, confirmed the evidence of the other witnesses, and added that he heard no other ground of provocation than a threat on the part of the deceased to strike the prisoner, when the latter refused to restore the property demanded of him. Police-constable Lock, H 201, deposed twat he beard the report of the gun while on duty in Shoreditch, and on enter ing the passage of the house found the bcdy of the deceased lying at the foot of the stairs, and the ramrod of a gun close by it. On proceeding to a room on the second floor, lie found the prisoner with a gun in his hand, which he imme diately secured, and took him into custody. The prisoner's father, who was also present, made some observation upon the dreadful consequences of his son's violence, in answer to which the prisoner replied, "I have had my revenge, and if I had not taken his life he would have had mine." The prisoner was then conveyed down stairs, where a surgeon, who was examining the body, inquired of a bystander if the gun had been loaded with bull, to which the prisoner spon taneously answered "No, it was small shot ;" and, on being searched, a quantity of loose shot of that description was found in his waistcoat pocket. The witness produced the gun, an old-fashioned piece, resembling a carbine, but wider at the bore, and scarcely two feet in length. Mr. James Hancorn, a surgeon, in High-street, Shore ditch, deposed that, on examining the body of the deceased, he found a circular orifice in the left side of the neck, nearly an inch in diameter, and sufficiently large to enable him to probe it with his finger, and to trace the injury as far back as the spine, where the shot appeared to have lodged. Such a wound might have been caused either by a bullet, or con centrated small shot, which, upon striking the spine, must have produced instantaneous death. Inspector Harris proved that, on hearing the charge read over at the station-house, the prisoner said that if he had not done it he should perhaps have lost his own life, as the de ceased and four others had come to his house and threatened to drag him out a few minutes previous to the fatal occurrence. Mr. Vann having expressed his intention to reserve the defence at that stage of the proceeding, the magistrate ordered the prisoner to be remanded until Tuesday next. PRIVATE TRIAL OF MR. GTPSON'S NEW BALLO ON. —NARROW ESCAPE OF T HE JERONAUTS.—A pa ty of gen O. tle men interested in the science of mrostation assembled r yes terday at the Gas-works, Haggerstone, for the purpose of witnessing an experimental ascent of a new balloon con structed from the design of Mr. Gypsum The balloon was considered a beautiful model, being manufactured of crimson and yellow silk of a superior fabric, around which was an elegant blue zone, but the netting was considered by compe tent judges to be of an inferior description, and not pos sessing sufficient power to resist the pressure of the balloon when inflated. Among other gentlemen present were Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Van Buren, and Mr. Ellis, lessee of Cre inorne-gardens. Mr. Van Buren (who heatmade a number of ascents in that monstre bal l o on, the gr Nassau, from Cremorne-gardens), discovered some defects in the meshes of the netting, and with other gentlemen earnestly implored Mr. Gypson and Mr. H. Coxwell, who was to have been his compagnon du voyage, not to ascend, particularly as the breeze was pretty fresh. Mr. Gypson would have overruled their objections, but suddenly a gust of wind took the bal loon and it dashed through the netting. leaving the aeronauts and some of their admiring friends and spectators lost in wonderment, and one or two entangled, a la the lion and the mouse, in the meshes of the netting. A rent in the balloon fortunately allowed the gas to escape, and it descended in Haggerstone fields, and was stlbsequently restored to the proprietor. FIRE ON PLUSISTEAD-COMMON.-011 Wednesday afternoon a large heath ou Shooter's-hill, adjoining Shrews bury House, the residence of Admiral P. Hornby , was dis • covered to be in flames. The heath was covered with furze nine or ten feet in height, and when assistance arrived the fire had covered an extent of three or four acres. A number of men set to work to beat down the flames, but it was not until nearly seven o'clock that they succeeded in stopping the flames, the fire having spread over seven or eight acres. The furze is supposed to have been set fire to by some schoolboys. ROYAL ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL. - Yesterdaylad meeting of the governors of this excellent charity was held at the board room of the institution, in Bloomsbury-square. The numbers admitted, as well as out-patients ' during the last year, have greatly excet.ded thoseattended of pre ceding years, and there are now upwards off urgent r , ii cases waiting for admission, which cannot be received fur want of funds. The average daily attendance of out-patients is about 100, and from thirty to forty the new cases weekly. Th e total number cured since 1840, to commencement of the present year, was 5,297 The institution is under the patronage of tke Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duke of Cambridge. -.---?.-., fw NAVAL INTELLIGn NCh.

The Blenheim was one of the old seventy-six line-of battle ships, and was last engaged in the China war. She has undergone considerable alteration, and is intended to be one of the block-guard-ships in the Channel. In some por tions she has been reduced, but her length has been extended eight feet abaft. She will carry fifty guns of large calibre.

Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., at Black wall, yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a large number of persons interested in the vessel and others, who were attracted by her handsome appearance. Miss Sophia Cruden, the daughter of the chairman of the Star Packet Company, named her "The New Star" as she went off the stocks. She was designed by Mr. Pasco, of the above-mentioned firm, and is to have oscil lating engines of GS-horse power, constructed uy them, She is of extraordinary length. over all-190 feet; between the perpendiculars 175 feet, breadth between the paddle boxes 17 feet 6 inches, depth et hold 9 feet 6 inches, bur den in tons 2CB old measurement. As she was taken into the East India Docks to be fitt«l fbr service by the month of May, she was very generally and justly admired. With the clean smooth appearance which the iron always presents ' her beautiful form was shown off mo s t advan tageously, and every one who saw her at once attributed great praise architect, and predicted for her a 6flecessful and splendid career. The Star Company may, with much gratification and pri(le, congratulate themselves on po-sessing the finest, handsomest, and swiftest boat on the Thames.
