PEOPLE of ENGLAND.—The Petition against the medicinal use of deadly chemical preparations, signed by upwards of 2'1,700 of the people, was presented to the house of COm• mons on Tuesday. the 15th day of June, 1847. Let this Petition be a record and protest against the organic theory of Doctors, which, for profit, sanctions the use of such deadly preparations medicinally. Let it also be a record and protest against all arbitrary enactments which tendlo perpetuate styli a fulse and scandalous theory on man kind ; but, above all, let it operate as a warning to all Ministers and other persons in power as to how they interfere with the sacred medical liberty of the subject, in order to prop a sinking profession. People of England ! this Petition is the greatest triumph of Hygeists ; it is a decisive sign that the people are commencing to deliver them selves from the errors of an Ito crested Medical Faculty ; it shows that they are beginning to think on this all-important question. Let interested parties now try to pass arbitrary Medical Laws—posterity will know how to appreciate their motives. The British College of Health consider this Petition so important, that a copy of it, with the 21,700 names attached, has been preserved as a lasting record, to go down to future generations. All the Hygeian Agents throughout the world are hereby r quested to give it the most extensive pub licity.—Dated this 18th B day of June. A D. 1847. RITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, New-road, London.

ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSU RANCE SOCIETY. OFFICE, 26, coirsniLL, LONDON. Capital 500,0001. Empowered by Act of Parliament. The system ot Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na tional Loan Fund Life Assurance Society, for the better advance ment of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received the approbation of a considerable body cf the active members and officers of those Institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan Fund Society having been urgently solicited by them to establish a Branch Office in connexion with those societies and the Operative Classes generally, in which their services might be successfully en gaged, a Committee has been sanctiowed by the Directors to open communication with the different Societies, with the view of more effectually disseminating the valuable benefits amongst the indus trious classes, and a plan has been iroposed with that object. ADDRESS OF TIIE COMMITTEE. Many praiseworthy but Ineffectual attempts have been made to bring within the scope and operation of the laws of mortality and money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal collations regulating their distribution, having for their object either immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits. A slight examination, however, will demonstrate that the con struction of these associations or societies is defective; and that in stead of affording an easy access and a free choice of investment, whicis should be the privilege of every one, they confine too liar . owly the -sienna through which a benefit can alone be secured ; and, in proportion as their action is circumscribed and embarrassed, their utility - is limited. For example, it is not to every individual or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision in case of sickness is an object of such importance as to call for a pecnn iary sacrifice ; while to others such a p rovision appears more attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is tb say, Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more contingent or deferred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate benefit should have its separate contribution. It Is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of two dissimilar functions. and by confounding a sick allowance and an annuity fund in one and the self-same payment, that much of the evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies. , No mechanism can be so perfect for the management of a sick - i•ess-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asso ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and n one but the really sick are likel y to become chargeable upon it. lint the same perfectio n, or the same security, is seldom attainable where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years, and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment seine in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes. For these reasons it, is clear that the funds dest ined for a prvision in dckness should be kept entirely distinct from the fund intended as a provision for old age:- Ist. Because the laws ot ckness an mortality, though apparently connected, do not depend o n d the same calculation. 2d. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a ,arger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing tor probable sickness on themselves. 3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age, continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and individual irre sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of such a contract , that when undertaken on the same principles that ordinarily govern commercial bottle.. 4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en danger the one for the sake of the other. Impressed with these convictions, and with an intimate knowledge ot the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here unto attached, have had several meetings. with a view of proposing or adopting a remedy for those arid other evils ; and in this manner to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity, and mutual aid, on which frie ndl y societies are based, by guarding them from the risks of sudden dissolution. After much diligent search amonsst the combinations ingeniously proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal In simplicity and comprehensiveness of design, as well as forethought and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan proposed by the National Loan Fund Life Assurance Society. It is true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex pediency of abandoning a srovision in sickness, no one can read the other part of the plan Itself, without being fully sa , is fi ed that the conven once and safety of Friendly and Ilenefit Societies will be gre atly secured and consulted, by sepa ratin g the pas-ment of a sick allowance from an annuity for old age. A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to them for the establishment of a separate office for the transaction of business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the in dustrious classes in general, resolutions have been entered into, con stituting, the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society, and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to ihe present day has adequately secured to them.

A general meeting of this company was held on Fri day, at the London Tavern, to receive the report of the directors ; W. H. Thomas, Esq., in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the secretary, Mr. Noad, was requested to read the report, the substance of which was—That in the first instance the sum of ss. per share had been subscribed in order to pay the expenses of the preliminary surveys , but that in consequence of the extensive railway operations in progress at that period, some time elapsed before the directors could secure the services of a competent engi neer to make the necessary surveys; and it was not until March, 1846, that arrangements were made with Mr. Drane, who, on the recommendation of Mr. Bendel, the consulting engineer, left England intrusted with this im portant iniss'on, by the mail or that month. Oa his ar rival in Ceylon, Mr. Brain proceeded to surrey several portions of the country, and was etabled to complete his inquiries and investigations so as to leave the island in February, 1847, and to reach this country the latter end of March. It appeared from his information, re ceived by the directors, that the cost of the railway from Colombo to Kandy would amount to about 850,0001. ; and it became the province of the directors to determine in what manner they could shape their proceedings, so as to secure the co-operation of her Ma jesty's Government, and especially to obtain such a gua ranteed dividend as would justify the outlay of the capital. The directors have now the gratification to an nounce that these views have been entertained by her Majesty's Government, and that an ordinance will be sanctioned, comprehending a free grant of the land re quired for the railway, for a term of ninety-nine years, and a guaranteed dividend of five per cant. per annum for that period ; the Government having the right of purchase atter the expiration of fifty years, and the re version of the line without purchase at the end of ninety nine years. The original capital was to hare been 1,000,000/., but in consequence of the arrangement with the Government, it was submitted, that a new company be formed, with a capital of 300,0001., in 20,000 shares of 151. each ; and that the holders of the existing scrip receipts should be entitled to claim the same number of shares in the new company, as though the directors had found it possible at once to constitute the society con templated by the subscription contract. But as the directors contemplate an extension of the anrang ement with her Majesty's Government, and fully purpose carry ing out the original project of completing the railway commu nication with Kandy at no distant period, power will be taken in the deed of settlement to increase the capital, and to give to the holders of the new 151. shares an option of subscribing for a rateable proportion of the additional stock to be created. Over the division cf the line first to be undertaken, all the traffic between Colombo and Kandy will pass ; and it is estimated that at the existing charge of transport, without including any rev enue from passengers, a return o f about nine t een per cent. on the capital invested may be realised. During the present year the directors do not anticipate being called upon to expend a larger sum than will en able them to limit the calls to 20s. per share; and as it does not appear probable that the works on the first section of the line can be completed within less than two years, the further calls will necessarily be extended over that period. The directors had much pleasure in annexing a copy of the report of Mr. Bendel, the con sulting engineer, which entirely confirms the views of the directors. The directors have endeavoured to con duct the affairs of the company with the strictest eco nomy, and referring to the accompanying statement of receipts and expenditure, concluded the report by ex pressing a hope that they may have earned the appro bation, and continue to possess the confidence of the shareholders. It was further stated that the calls during the present year were not likely to be more than 20a. a share, and the traffic for goods between Colombo and Candy, a distance of 32 miles, was estimated at 40,000 tons car ried up the line, at Is. per ton per mile, 64,0001.; 22,500 tons brought down the line, at 4d. per ton per mile, 12,0001.; making a total of 76,0001.; and deducting for working expenses 19,000/., there would be a profit of 57,0001., or 19 per _cent. on the capital. From the cash account it appeared that the total re ceipts on calls and from other sources was 5,3761., the payments 4,9591: 7s. id., and the assets in hand are 4071. I2s. l id. In consequence, however, of money ad vanced by the directors for the purposes of the com pany, there is a small deficiency of 3091. 75. ld. between the liabilities and the assets. The engineer's report was appended to that of the directors, by which it appeared that the railway was intended to commence at the east bank of the Kalany river, about three miles from the city of Colombo, and following for the first 32 miles the general direction of the great military road to Kandy and Kornegalle, which the line crosses twice ; then, entering the Valley of the (river) Maha Oya, follows its course for 23 miles to the hill country at the Kaddoganava Pass, or Gordon's Bridge, w here it commences a rapid ascent to the summit on which Kandy is situated, and terminates about three miles short of that city, being a length of 14 miles, and making the whole length of the railway 69 miles. Over the first division of 32 miles the country is flat, the total rise not exceeding 170 feet on the whole length, and the highest land passed over between these points not exceed ing 240 feet, involving a class of gradients better than I in - 150 to lin 200. The estimate is 258,7951., supposing the land to be given by the Government. The second division would involve heavier gradients and works than the first division, as the country becomes more broken. The gradients need not, however, exceed 1 in 150 to 1 in 200, fcr 17 miles, but beyond that the gradients might have to be so steep as 1 in 100 to 1 in 50, for the re maining five miles ; the work of construction over the whole being, however, moderate, and such as the estimate of 177,149/. would accomplish for a single line, as be fore. The total rise of country on this division is 540 feet, without any intermediate summit. The third divi sion, as before stated, forms the ascent to Kandy; the elevation to be overcome is 1,100 feet, and the gradients may, it seems, be so arranged as not to exceed 1 in 50, the numerous ravines of the mountains admitting of a lengthening of the line so as to accomplish that object. I Such gradients may be safely worked. Goods traffic at 10 miles per hour, and passenger traffic to average 17 miles an hour, prudent limits in that country. It need only be added that the cost per mile, including stock, of the two first divisions of the line will be some what under 9,000/., and the third division from 21,0001, to 22,0001. per mile ; all single line, made on a secure but economical plan. The CHAIRMAN recapitulated the principal parts of the report in moving its adoption. Before it was finally accepted, Mr. ANDERTON observed that, after all, the Govern ment guarantee amounted to nothing, and that the pro perty was only a leasehold. Mr. LEVY trusted the Hon. Proprietor would not throw in any element of discord, for that he thought the guarantee of the Government a great advantage. Mr. ANDERTON would be quite as ready to take Mr. Levy's guarantee for the amount. The report was ultimately adopted, witbout any dis. sent, and the meeting, which was numerous, and it need not be said highly respectable, separated, ap arently well satisfied with the day's proceedings. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF LIFE. On Friday, shortly before seven o'clock, considerable consternation was caused in the Borough b a most se rious accident which oc curred upon the works con nexion with the North Kent or London and Gravesend Railway, in consequence of the falling of an arch, pass ing over Great Ru ssell • street, at its northern end. In the midst of the confusi on which p revails, the following facts with reference to this disastrous occurrence have been gathered, which, though far from being sufficiently in detail to furnish a complete account of the accident, way, nevertheless, be relied upon as accurate as far as the facts could be procured of the parties who witnessed it. During the latter part of the afternoon, it appears that several of the men employed in the erection of a viaduct, cr rather in the widening of the tramway of the South-Eastern line over Great Russell-street, were engaged in removing the stouts and centre-pieces from the brickwork forming the permanent way for the new line. But a few minutes had elapsed after the re moval of these timber supporters, before a sudden crack ing was heard overhead by some of the men who were at that time under that portion of the railway which forms the . present Greenwich, Croydon, Brighton, and Dover lines. Before it was possible to give any alarm, or to warn the parties who were passing under the brid g e at the time, the whole of the new work came down with a tremendous crash. One man was at work laying con crete at the time over the archway. He was brought down with the mass of rubbish, consisting of several tons, but, fortunately , he esca p ed with a considerable bruising. It was apprehended at first that several per sons who happened to be p assin g under the bridge at the time had been sacrificed, and the rumour became almost instantaneously rife that not less than eight per sons had been killed, and more seriously injured. As soon, however, as it was possible, workmen were set to work to remove the rubbish, and in a short time three persons were found severally most severely injured ; they were conveyed without delay to Guy s Hospital, where every attention was paid to them by the house-surgeon. In prosecuting their further search the men met with the body of a respectably-dressed man, who was literally smashed to a mummy, scarcely a trace of his features being discernible. Soon afterwards the body of a middle-aged female frightfully mutilated was found. It is scarcely necessary to add that both parties when taken out of the ruins were quite dead. It was rumoured that two boys were seen close to the spot where the unfortunate accident took place, but up to the time of our going to press no other bodies have been found. The deceased persons have been removed to the dead room at St. Olave's school, to await the inquiry of the Coroner. THE NAVY CLUB. ENTERTAINMENT TO THE FIRST LORD O F THE ADMIRALTY.—The members of the Navy Club gave their customary annual entertainment to the First Lord of the Admiralty, on Thursday last, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. The Earl of Auckland, the First Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by the Hon. Captain M. F. Berkeley, and the lion. William Cowper, arrived at half-past seven, shortly after which dinner was announced. Admiral Sir partydring presided. The separated shortly before eleven o'clock. . . . CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE COM PANY. A special general meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at their offices, Villiers-street, Strand at one o'clock on Saturday, Mr. Hawes in the chair, for the purpose of formally rescinding the contract en tered into some time ago, for the sale of the bridge to Mr. Jackson, Sir Joshua - Walmsley, and Mr. Fuller, and for assenting to the creation of new shares, for the purpose of defraying the liabilities of the undertaking. After the advertisement had been read, The CHAIRMAN proceeded to explain the nature of the meeting to the shareholders. He said the actual expen diture up to January in the present year amounted to 126,4851., tor which 8,0001. had to be deducted for rent received from the wharf, making the total cost 118,485/.; it had been estimated to cost 106,0001., but, as they were already aware, there had been au excess over that estimate of 12,4851., which he thus accounted for — alteration of piers and foundations, 3,0001.; new works not in the estimate, including toll-houses, gates, light ing, &e., 2,000/.; float, 1,500/.; law expenses, 1,5001., including the cost of obtaining their three Acts of Par liament. There was a debt of 1,000/. due to the Hungerford Market Company for damages, which had been referred to arbitration, and which would be settled as soon as possible. Then there was 4,6001. of interest owing to the bankers and others, making, as he had said, a deficiency of 12,485/., or, in round numbers, 13,0001. They had already raised altogether, up to the present time,120,0001., their capital having been originally fixed upon as 106,000/. In order to meet the liabilities it would be necessary to raise new capital to the amount of 19,450/., or, in round numbers, 20,0001. The following were the liabilities:—Messrs. Jackson and others, 9,000/. ; the bankers, 3,5001. ; works, 1,950/. ; her Majesty's Commissioners, law expenses, obtaining Acts of Parliament, and claims 2,000/., due upon the toll account 3,000/., making alto gether 19,4501. Out of these items the following might be selected as absolutely pressing for payment :-9,0001. to Messrs. Jackson, out of the 10,0001. deposited, 1,0001. having been forfeited, and the bankers 3,500/. All these must be placed on a proper footing for payment. The directors proposed to provide for the payment of these liabilities under third clause of their Act, and to issue 3,200 quarter-shares of 61. 55. each, these shares to be first offered to the shareholders ; but they did not consider it advisable that they should constitute any por tion of the permanent capital of the company. The traffic of the bridge would in the course of the next year or two be so much increased by the opening of the South-Eastern, South-Western, and the Great anti cipatedWestern,that malnTd:on They e Birmingham i. o rmingham lines, in the immediate vicinity of th e brid ge , that be confidently anti haptaey ve b o r y . ff ef therefore Er directorse w 2 sshares 0a preferredro eI s without ha would i n rather ah be enabled to ' c ro u af l ie t s y aa money • t n e shapeydifficulty toiffi loan, or of making the amount proposed to be raised a portion of the fixed capital of the company. He con cluded by calling upon the clerk (Mr. Lawrence) to read the report. Mr. LAWRENCE then read the report, which was as follows: " Your directors called this special general meeting of shareholders to submit for their approval the arrange ments they have acceded to with Messrs. Jackson, Reed, Walmsley, and Fuller, for the settlement of their con tract for the purchase of the bridge; and also to submit the plan by which they propose to raise the capital re quired to repay to those gentlemen 9,0001., part of the 10,000/. deposited by them, as well as to provide funds for the liquidation of the outstanding debts of the company on the capital account, which have hitherto been provided for by temporary loans from the bankers. " Your directors are anxious to accomplish this with out increasing the fixed capital of the company, and therefore, although they feel obliged, in fulfilment of the spirit of the provisions of the company's Act of Parlia ment, 6th Victoria, chap. 19, sec. 5, to offer the new shares they propose to eseate to the proprietors, they deem it right to state, it will, in their opinion, be more advantageous to the company that the shares should not, if it can be avoided, become part of the permanent capi tal of the company, but be used as a security for the temporary advance of capital, which your directors feel very confident the company will be able to repay as soon as the Great Railway station, now in progress, and close to the southern terminus of the bridge, is completed. " Your directors think it right to state distinctly that this capital is not required to pay for any unforseen and increased expenditure, but simply to place the finances of the company on a more satisfactory footing, and has been forced upon them at this time by the necessity of completing the proposed arrangements with Messrs. Jackson and others. To accomplish these objects in the manner best cal culated to promote the:permanent interest of the com pany, the necessary resolutions, as well as the proposed a4reetnent to carry them into effect, will be submitted to the meeting." In reply to several parties, The CHAIRMAN r aid that the present traffic, in round numbers, yielded a revenue of 7,0001. a year. The share holders might take the new shares ; but in the event of their not doing so, they must of necessity take them into the market. One•fourth of the money due to Mr. Jackson had to be paid in a fortnight, but the payment of the remainder would depend upon subsequent arrange ments ; it would be advisable, however, to pay the amount without delay, in order to avoid the payment of interest. The first resolution, annulling the agreement with Mr. Jackson, was then read, The CHAIRMAN, in reply to a question, stated that the Bill for the sale of the bridge was now before Par liament. They bad been unable to obtain a com mittee, a sufficient number of members not hav ing attended on the two occasions in which it was summoned to form a quorum. They thought they could not carry it with the opposition which had been arrayed against it, yet it had not been withdrawn. Their legal athiseis were of opinion that the transfer of the bridge could not be considered a public act, in the words of the preamble, if it had to encounter the opposition menaced; and though it had been read a second time it was still before Parliament. Captain KELLY was surprised that any one could call a private contract a public benefit. The CHAIRMAN said Lord Shaftesbury refused to pass it without these words. The 10,0001. received had been thus expended :-5,0001. to the Exchequer Commis sioners, and the remainder had been carried into the general account. Thus they had saved the payment upon the 5,000/. paid to the Commissioners. It was open to the shareholders to make the new shares a por tion of the capital at a future period —they could not raise more by debentures than they had raised. Mr. FEW considered that it would not be well to pay off the new shares at a future period out of the tolls, and that the option of taking the shares at par at a future period should be offered to the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN considered the suggestion a good one, but he was so confident of the great increase of the traffic, that no difficulty would be found in paying off the amount he had stated without interfering materially with the revenue from the tolls. The report was then received and ordered to be en tered on the minutes. Mr. ORD censured the conduct of the directors, and blamed them for not having acted in the same conci liatory and upright way in which Mr. Jackson had acted; if they had done so a great portion of the law expenses which had been incurred would have been saved.—(Hear.) Mr. COPE proposed an amendment to the following effect:—That it was expedient to postpone the rescind ing of the agreement until the financial affairs of the company had been investigated; and for the purpose of effecting this he proposed that a committee of seven share holders should be elected, three to form a quorum, who, with the aid of an accountant, should make this inves tigation, and that the meeting should adjourn until the 12th of July. Mr. LLOYD seconded the motion. Mr. STUTELEY, the chairman of the Market Com pany, considered that, as the nature of the accounts had taken the meeting by surprise, they ought to adjourn. The liabilities must be paid, but the great considera tion was how they were to be paid; he considered, therefore* that they should not hastily come to a deter mination. After a prolonged discussion, not remarkable for the temperate manner in which it was conducted, a ballot took place, when the numbers were—for the motion 73 votes and one proxy, against it 31 votes and 132 proxies, making a majority of 89 against the original motion. The seventy proxies belonged to the Market Company, and were received under a protest, subject to the opiion of counselStuteley also delivered, in a protest against this proceeding on the part of the di rectors. The second resolution was then proposed, authorising the directors to raise 20,000/. The amendment of Mr. COPE, which had been de ferred until this motion, was then proposed. Considerable discussion ensued. The CHAIRMAN emphatically declared that the whole of the opposition arose from the animus which the Hun gerford Market Company entertained against them. Mr. STUTELEY—I deny that. The CHAIRMAN called upon Mr. Stuteley to define the grounds of his opposition for as yet: no specific charges had been made against the directors. Mr. STUTELEY said the accounts had not been drawn properly up, as the accounts of all public bodies were drawn up; that they had a heavy debt with but little prospect of paying it, and besides their profits had been materially reduced. The CHAIRMAN briefly replied. He was quite justified in the expression he had used, as they found the Chairman of the Market Company and their clerk opposing every step they proposed, and altogether their opposit of ion sme p w ta a on s yi n most wser ce n t n o:ph u ee s nm t and . by yc luanweca,arlt,l to every d he hear.) fr.

The property was improving. Their conduct had compelled them to seek this additional sum; but they might have borrowed it without the intervention of the shareholders, because they had power in the Act; and because they came forward in the most unreserved manner they wished to pass a vote of censure upo n them, although they had left nothing undone to promote their interest.

An epidemic is springing up in cities and towns, under peculiar circumstances, which demands the serious at tention of the Government, the Legislature, and the public ; a striking illustration of which is afforded by the character and the extent of the fever which is pre vailing at the present moment in the metropolis. Pur ring the months of April and May the admissions into the London Fever Hospital were treble the number of admissions in the three preceding months of March, February, and January. The number is steadily in creasing. Wards which had been shut up for several years are now open, and are already full. There is at the present moment scarcely a vac ant bed in the house, and some days ago patients we re brou g ht to the doors of the hospital, but could not be admitted for want of room, and soon upwards of twenty were on the list, waiting their turn for the next vacant beds. Out of the total number admitted during the last two months about one-third are Irish. Of these, by far the greater number have either recently arrived in London, or belong to families that have received relations or acquaintances just arrived from Ireland. Many of these poor people were actually in a state of fever on their arrival, but still more were in such a weakened and exhausted condition, that they fell into fever in a few days after their abode in the wretched houses and the poisonous localities in which they lodged. Every case of this kind acts as a ferment thrown into a mass of materials just ready to take on the process of fermentation. If the season should prove warm, and the air close and stagnant, that process must go on and extend in all those fever districts.
