ntion to the same effect as the notice that had been read to , them by their respected secretary, namely, that the amount of the sum assured be raised to 1,000/., and giving the managers power to take 1,0001., in lieu ot the 500 L, as at present limited. He hoped that after what they had heard of the prosperity of their society in the pa;t year, they would have no hesitation in coming to the conclusion with himself —a conclusion which by their managers was deemed essential for the benefit of the association. In the beginning of the last year a meeting was called for the same purpose, when they were defeated by a majority of three and a half.— (Laughter.) On that occasion a gentleman got up and ad• vocated the alteration of the role, but at the close voted against it. Twe friends of his own came with the intention of voting with the board, but one gentleman got frightened and frightened his friend also. Another gentleman fell asleep (luring the proceedings, and when he awoke inadvertently voted on the wrong side.—(Laughter.) He (Mr. Jones) -could assure the meeting that, in order to ascertain the general opinion on this matter, communications had been opened with the agents in different towns, and they had their unanimous consent to the proposed new arrangement. He had a communication from Bristol, where at a meeting held those present were unanimous for the alteration ; so at Norwich. He had also a letter from their indefatigable agent at Liverpool (Mr. Lee), who said that during the past year he might have secured several 1,0001. policies if the higher insurance could have been taken. Ile had also a long list of names from gentlemen connected with, and resident in London, all expressing their wish that this might be effected soon as possible. THEATRE ROYAL, DRITRY-LANE.

C. and F. Lauri. To conclude with the successful Comedy of TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS. In whict'. Mr. and Mrs. Keeley will appear. Mr. Issaast had great pleasure in seconding the resolution, because he believed it would contribute to the welfare of the society. He bad not had the good fortune to be present at the last discussion on this subject, he having been many miles away from London at the time, but he believed that the opposition then exhibited bad given place to more ma tured reflection. The board of management exercised a prudent control, and as the meeting had reposed confidence m them heretofore, he - thought that in this case they would be fully justified in doing it again. He could not, indeed, see how any additional risk could ever be contemplated as arising from this alteration. The board of management con sidered that out of the 60,000 or 60,000 clerks which appeared (from the late census) to be employed in and about the me tropolis, some thousands might be in the enjoyment of sala ries of not less than 2001., and it seemed reasonable to suppose that a clerk so situated coul d afford to set aside enough for • the annual premiums of a 1,0001. policy. This, at 25 years of age, would only be £2O. a 30 it u 23. lt 3 5 « id 25. However, the certainty of being applied to frequently for surances to this amount was sufficiently obvious, from the circumstance of having already (under the existing restrict Lions) declined several proposals for Loopi. It also appeared probable that a clerk able to insure for' 1,0001. would occupy a station of some influence as regarded - his colleagues, and being able to procure the means for recreation and personal comfort, would offer a better life risk; that others who, less favourably circumstanced, and suffering from the pressure of centraeted means, could only afford to insure for the smaller amounts. But we might carry our views beyond the mere calculation, and see in the greatly increased income, which the 1,0001. policies would produce, increased suprort to the - benevolent department. As to this fund, the principal houses in London had heretofore generously contributed, so at our next and first division of profits, one-third of these would be paid into the benevolent fund. In this way every insurer becomes a contributor to this excellent fund, while, at the same time, he is promoting and protecting his own interests. Pure benevolence this association has often and successfully invoked, but it must be remembered that this quality was not inexhaustible ; the princely munificence of the merchants of this great metropolis may be invoked too often—the cord may be strained till it snap asunder. But as it is more, honourable to feed the benevolent fund from our own insur -anee department. so it is more sure, because the principle of mutual insurance carries within itself the seeds of its own extension to an almost indefinite degree. Their able actuary, who was in the room, would demonstrate to their satisfaction that there was no possible risk, that, in fact, there was everything to gain by the change, and nothing to lose. • Mr. Barmy: (Actuary) stated, that it was quite clear that in this case it was the object of the board of manage ment to procure a large business, and it was equally positive that it was only by a large business that large profits could be secured. The matter on which he was called to speak was simply this, could they make this change with safety ? There could be no doubt of it. The board of management were not compelled to grant 1,000/. policies, they might issue policies for 6001. or 7001., and so were in a position to get themselves a good average. Many officf sin Scotland took to the extent et 30,000/., giving away sometimes ::00 or 300 to other establishments, and securing themselves by taking to the same amount in return. Their board could do the same. He had fortified himself by the opinion of the eminent Mr. Davis ; he had plaeed certain details before him, and that able gentleman's opinion coincided with his own. The 'speaker then sew! from a statistical document the opinion of the learned actuary, which: vas in effect the same as expressed by Mr. %tray and the preceding speaker. • After a few remarks from the UIAIRMAN, the following re solution was read by the seen tary, and it was ca ried unanimously. " The assurances granted Ly this association shall be as follows, viz.: rll EATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI. NDER THE DIRECTION OF MADAME CELESTE.

" A provision for any other contingency whereof the oc currence is susceptible of calculation by way of average." Mr. JONES then moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Smith, for his able and impartial conduct in the chair, which w. seconded by Mr. Thomas, and carried amid deafening cheers. The Cam!lmAN, in returning thanks, said that while nothing could give him greater pleasure than being in any degree, however slightly, useful to the society, he was at the same time conscious that these exertiosis were beneficial to limself as well as to them. He was extremely gratified that Mr. Thomas had seconded the vote with which they had just honoured him, and be would be most happy to find him re new the old feelings of friendship and intercourse which had been for a time interrupted. He thanked them sincerely for the kindness they had just shown hint. The Hon. Member then retired, and was greeted with three hearty cheers. The meeting then broke up. TOTAL LOSS OF 's HE SIRIETS STEAM-PACKET AND NINETEEN LIVES. The Cork Reporter of Saturday publishes the intelligence Of the total wreck of the Sirius, Dublin and Cork steam packet, with a most calamitous loss of life. The following are the principal details of this melancholy occurrence : Between three and four o'clock this (Saturday) morning, the vessel having made an excellent passage from Dublin to the offing of Cork harbour, struck, in a dense fog, on a reef of rocks in Ballycotton Bay, and instantly a scene of conster nation not to be described prevailed among the passengers. Captain Moffatt, the commander, then deemed it advisable to back the ship off the reef, and by much exertion, with the engines and otherwise, succeeded in doing so; but they were only a very short time clear of the rocks when it became evident the vessel would not much longer re main afloat, as she was making water fast, and had received serious injuries in her bottom and sides. She AM accordingly again turned towards the land, and very soon after began to strike on a ridge, called Smith's Rocks, about half a mile to the west of Ballycotton, with the certainty of going to pieces in a few hours. The total loss of the vessel being thus inevitable, the attention of all on, board was directed to the preservation of the crew and passenger; and amidst the confusion and alarm that prevailed, the life-boat, which is usually carried over the paddle-box, was attached to the davits and lowered, though unfortunately on the wrong side of the ship. This boat, we understand, was not equal to accommodate more than eight, but immediately she was launched twenty crowded into ber, principally deck passengers, and before she was well clear of the steamer, melancholy to relate, she was swamped, and all in her met a watery grave save Capt. A. Cameron, of the Prince river steamer, who was a passenger from Dublin in the vessel. Meanwhile the steamer con tinued to thump heavily on the rocks, while the screams of alarm from the affrighted passengers, and the heavy surf breaking on her sides, and on the deck, rendered the scene one of awful danger and intense anxiety. Soon after the Coast-guard boat from Ballycotton station, under command of Mr. Coghian, chief officer, came alongside, and the ship's boats having by this time been also launched, the remaining passengers were got into them, and safely landed, though with the loss of every portion of their luggage, Sco. The extraordinary exertions of Captain Cameron, of the Prince (who was so providentially saved), in superintending and assisting the landing of the passengers, have been de. scribed to us as beyond all praise. Every article that was washed ashore before the assist ance of military or police arrived was instantly carried off by the people, who continued to assemble in large numbers. A portion of the cabin plate and other portable articles of value were brought on shore in one of the boats, but soon became the booty of the country people, as did also such, personal luggage belonging to the passengers as they con trived to save from the wreck.

We have received a copy of the volume containing the " Astroncmical Observations," for the year 1845, as con ducted at the Observatory in this city, under the super intendence of Lieutenant Maury. We ure niminded by Lieut. Maury that the electric telegraph is the most exquisite of astronomical instru ments. The eclipses of Jupiter and his satellites, the transit of the planets across the disc of the sun, solar eclipses, occultations, and moon culminations have all been appealed to by astronomers for an accurate deter mination of their longitude. For the purpose of observ ing some of these phenomena, and assisting in the solution of the grand problem, expeditions, at great cost of time, llhour, and money, have been fitted out and sent to distant parts of the world. Still the astronomer la mented over the imperfection of his means, the want of accuracy in his results. The speed of the magnetic fluid surpasses the.velocity of light. The superintendent of the National Observatory, in this city, proposes to avail himself of this principle for the purpose of determining difference of longitude between the capital of the republic and the principal cities of the Union so soon as the telegraph lines shall cross the Potomac and the mountains for the cities of the south and west, which we uederstand they will soon do. Having the advantage of all other nations in extent of country and length of lines to be embraced in the appli cation of the magnetic principle, such a determination of the longitude with us would be of great , practical import ance in giving accuracy to geographical positions, land highly interesting and useful in many points lof view. Instead of sending out an' expedition, el great cost, it is contemplated only to send as Officer with a small instrument from place to place. Being at his station, he advises, by telegraph, his principal at the Observatory of the fact, and receives answer to be ready, that the star is approaching the Meridian of Washington ; at the moment of culmination ere the signal is given, and the time is not e d th ere a l so. In a little while, the wiry messenger brings word from the west that the star is approaching that distant meri dian, and at the instant of its transit there the signal is repeated. The interval of time between these two transits is the difference of longitude required. How I simple. beautiful, and accurate ! We observe that the wires lead now into the Observatory, and, upon inquiry, learn that they have bi-en brought there for the purpose Of determining, for the coast survey, difference of longi tude between the Observatory, Philadelphia, and Jersey City.— Washington Union. BREACH OF ' TRUST BY A BANK OFFICER.- Ronald Gordon, late secretary and accountant to the Ex. change Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh, was found guilty, at the High.

TH-IRD EDITION OF "THE SUN." THE VERY LATEST NEWS WILL BE FOUND, AS USUAL, IN THE THIRD EDITION OF g‘ THE SUN," WHICH WILL CONTATN THE DEBATES IN BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT UP TO THE HOUR OF POST, THEREBY ANTICIPATING OTHER PAPERS BY coats in the dtist, and threatening to crack the skull of whomsoever may presume to tread thereon. The Hon. Member is sadly mistaken in looking upon Parliament as a kind of political Donnybrook. Other • wise the discussions upon the Address to the Sovu- REIGN, in answer to the Speech from the Throne, (moved and seconded in the Upper House by Lords HATHERTON and CAREW, and in the Lower House by Mr. C. HOWARD and Mr. RICARDO) were satis factory from the majority of the sentiments they elicited. By the constitution of this country, the Crown is considered the fountain of honour. This is a wise provision of the State. From time out of mind, in the rudest, no less than in the most civilised nations, wherever the sovereign power has been vested, a spontaneous spring, as it were, has been suffered to flow for refreshening, by means of peculiar dignities and emoluments, the minds of those who have de voted their talents and energies to the welfare of their country. The principle of public acknowledgment, from the highest and most esteemed quarter, of meri torious services, in whatever influential department of the State they may have been rendered, has been found not only to minister to the honourable pride of the individual who has happily distinguished himself, and also to accord with the feelings of grateful re cognition naturally entertained towards him by the community at large, which, in common with the SOVEREIGN, has participated in the benefits at tendant upon the achievement, military, naval, or civil, that has been accomplished ; but it is a prin ciple which has had the desired effect of stimulating others to imitate the example that has been set, in order that they might attain to similar honours. This principle has been considered of such import ance, that the people, with mingled feelings of jealousy and gratitude, are not always content to permit its fruits to rest in, or emanate exclusively from, the Crown. Thus it is that, in addition to what has been conferred at the pleasure of the SOVEREIGN, manifestations of popular approval are being con stantly exhibited in favour, and during the life time, of those who have done well to the State. These laudable testimonials are displa) ed in different forms, —monuments, subscriptions, public dinners, presents of value to be preserved as heir-looms, &c. But there are instances, where, by the rare union of great talents, high integrity, and noble personal prowess, the prerogatives of the people are ably sustained in opposition to a dangerous infringement of them by the servants of the Crown. In such cases, where a great evil has been averted, or a positive advantage secured, the English are ever ready, in some signifi cant manner, to evince their gratitude towards the champion of their just rights and privileges. Among these, the impartial administration of justice is held in the highest veneration. This sacred principle was unhappily very recently invaded, not intentionally, but in effect, by one of the highest functionaries of the law—the Lord Chief Baron—in the case of " GOLDICUTT v. BEAGIN." To the energy, talents, and unflinching-valour of Mr. CociornaN, Q.C., are we indebted that the stream of justice has been purified from the temporary taint it had received. Had he taken any other course than that of solemnly pro testing, in open court, against the intemperate lan guage of the Chief Baron, and immediately quitting his Lordship's presence, the ends of justice would have been substantially frustrated ; for had he de fended his client whilst charged with " insanity" by the judge, and the verdict been adverse tohis advocacy, a motion for a new trial would never have been granted. As it is, the Bench has been properly re buked, the honour and independence of the Bar man fully upheld, the rights of solicitors to adopt what legal line of defence they please in conjunction with their counsel fully maintained, and the prerogative of the people to the pure administration of justice firmly established,' how grave soever may he the " indiscretion" of one of the principal judges in Westminster Hall. We believe and hope that Mr. COCKBURN'S admirable conduct will be testified to in a way that will cause him to look back with pride for he part he has taken ; and sure we are that he is well entitled to some signal proof of the heartfelt approbation of every lover of justice.' '(TROM A CORRESPONDENT.) During the last week, the deep and loud sound-uniuo tne still increasing cry of Irish famine. Two great political meetings have been held at the Rotunda, in Dublin, one on the 13th, the other on the 14th in-tant The Minister or the journalist who would neglect the omens afforded by either of these meetings, or meet them with scorn or with defiance, would ill deserve the character either of patriotism or of sagacity. The first meeting was an aggregate assembly of that portion of the Young Ireland party resident in Dubiin. It was crowded to excess—conducted with order—distin guished by eloquence of a high class—but marked by the most passionate bitterness towards England. The great argument used was the following one—forcible, we admit, but far from conclusive against the possi bility of a good united Government. e England promised Ireland every kind of advantage, social and commercial, if we would consent to the union. Amongst others, she consented to extend to us a full participation in all British rights and privileges. The union was carried. England assumed the uncontrolled those mastery of Ireland.

Irish re monstrance has been almost invariably received by those British governors with contumely or neglect, and the results have been a practical exclusion from all beneficial British rights, increasing poverty, decreasing trade, destitution, famine, and starvation. How much of this bitter argument is true, and how much erroneous, we shall not now pause to examine. Most certainly it is the heartfelt passionate belief of a number of cur Irish fellow -countrymen, and, as such, it is deserving of patient and careful consideration even by those who do not concur in it. As a specimen of the unfortunate feeling of this meeting, we subjoin the following extract from the speech of Mr. MITCHELL, 'who, after enumerating the blessings flowing from a good government, proceeded to say— These are the choicest blessings, and ought to be the dearest treasures of a nation of men. Where these are to be found, egitatinn is a crime. Wheresoever on the face of the earth there is such a relation between the Government and the people, then let no demagogue breathe his poison into the popular ear. Let men till their lands, and ply their trades, and eat their daily bread in peace. But, my friends, have we su c h a Go vernment as this? Are those precious blessings known to us, save by reading, and hearsay, and the dreams of poets? Who in Ireland obeys the law for the love of it? —(Cries of No one.') Who in Ireland h onours the State or trusts the Legislature?—(Loud cries of No one.') Government! what is the thing which we call Government here ? A a machinery for insuring payment of our annual subsidy to England.—(Cheers.) What is the Viceroy ? A steward to superintend England's store-farm, and keep the labourers in order.—(Cheers.) What is the Castle? An office where England's business is done. Since the first year of this century you have been strangers on your own soil. The laws are not made for you, but against you. And see what has become of all this. Behold the crowning year of the union. For 46 years the ruling nation hes been drawing her tri bute regularly, and she has brought us to this at lust. Exhaustion can go no farther. The destruction of our crop flings more than half our people into the very j aws of death ; and when their imperial treasury lends us some of our own money to keep us alive, on the security of our lands and mortgaged industry, they dare to call it alms. But I was wrong to say dare ; what is it they dare not do to us ? Are they not our masters? And after all it is alms. The money is not ours. The land is not ours. The indnsilry is not ours. The natio n that governs not itself has nothing. Nothing in heaven above, nor in the earth beneath." The immediate results of this meeting was the forma. tion of a body, stiled " The Irish Confederation," a name - - - - borrowed from the American Confederation, and no - - doubt intended to labour for a similar object. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in his speech, announced to the meet ing that Mr. BOVERT HOLMES was to be regarded as the head of this Confederation.. We hope this announcement may turn out incorrect. There is no man in Ireland more to be respected and admired than Mr. ilowns, the greatest Irish lawyer, the most consistent Whig; the most incorruptible patriot, of great wealth, and now more than Brj 74?ara of age, The adhesion of such a TWELVE HOURS.

It is utterly impossible to scan the discussions in both Houses of Parliament, upon the Speech from the Throne, without congratulating the population upon the cordiality with which our legislators, of every diversity of political opinion, unite in their ex pressions of sympathy towards Ireland. That certain differences should arise respecting the course pur sued by Government in reference to the Montpensier alliance, is the natural consequence of the complica tion of that question. Hence we are not surprised that the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury considers the view taken of that marriage by Lord PALINIEBSTON to have been a misconception, and the view of the French Cabin.t an exaggeration. The signification x, _-- -•,••• -•-• cr••••••• . , •• 0, a - t;uti Lra riety of opinion as to the policy of the principles adopted by Lord ABERDEEN, and continued by his successor in the Foreign Department. Ireland, on the contrary, presents a picture of indisputable pecu iarities. No individual would be mad enough to deny the necessitous condition of her people. No individual would be mad enough 'to render his name execrable to the million by impeding the extraordinary measures already undertaken, or about to be proposed, by the Administration for the immediate alleviation of their distresses. The aspect of Ireland being at this moment one panorama of ' continuous desolation ; the spectacle of disease, in subordination, and famine in that island " exhibiting itself," as Lord BROUGRAM eloquently exclaimed, "in colours exceeding anything to be found in the page of THUCYDIDES, or the canvass of Ponssist, or the dismal chant of DANTE," it becomes an absolute necessity that the Legislature should evince una nimity in striving to satisfy the wants of that portion of our fellow-countrymen. Otherwise the privations of the Irish peasantry must be increased to an extent from the bare supposition of which the imagination shrinks back appalled. The western districts of Scot land, again, are afflicted with a deficiency of food so serious as materia!ly to enhance the responsibilities of our rulers. Under these perilous circumstances the indulgence of party animosities and political rivalry would be criminal and inhuman. And it was this consideration which induced her MAJESTY to confide these matters to the care of Parliament, "in the full conviction that its discussions would be guided by an impartial spirit." As far as the preliminary night of discussion can be regarded as an augury of the dis position of our legislators, that impartial spirit pro mises to preside over the deliberations of the two Houses. Upon the advisability of an immediate relaxation of the restrictions still imposed upon the importation of provisions, there is little likelihood but that the dissentience of the Protectionists will give way. Expediency, however, peeps out in the very indica tion of their intention to yield. "If we are to allow the introduction of untaxed sugar into the distilleries," say they, " give our native agriculture compensation by repealing the malt-tax." Sly as ever—these plausi ble gentlemen ! What says Lord STANLEY, as the avowed leader of the Protectionists ? Why, he plainly expresses his conviction that " the agriculturists will not oppose the temporary removal of the 4s. duty." Sir R. I.)zer., is still more explicit in his approbation of the Ministerial proposition for opening the ports, for suspending ' the navigation laws, and for introducing molasses and sugar into the processes of brewing and distillation. "It is my intention," he says, "to give my cordial support to these measures." Upon the manner in which the Ministry had dealt, daring the vacation, with the evils arising from the dearth of food in Ire land the Right Hon. Baronet spoke in terms of com mendation. No one could comprehend more entirely the difficulties of legislation in that part of the United Kingdoms ; and knowing the magnitude and abundance of those difficulties, he approved o the energetic, though inefficient, labours of the Administration. Even Lord STANLEY, in allud- ing to the alterations introduced into the operation of the Public Works Act by the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland upon his Excellency's own responsibility, ob- served that he was certain that neither in the Lords nor in the Commons would there be any hesitation in giving the Government an act of indemnity for those laudable evasions of the law. We can readily understand that iron-headed obstinacy which prompted the eccentric Member for Limerick to interrupt the amicable proceedings of the debate upon the Royal Speech with an oratorical howl, indicative of the wilfulness and the waywardness of the Young Ire- lauders. Mr. WILLIAM SMITH 013auri has such an insatiable appetite for notoriety, that the éclat of a skHmmage "is preferable to the obscurity of a re. spectable. quiescence. If we may believe WILLIAM CARLETON and the like writers of fiction, the countrymen of Mr. O'BRIEN have a pleasant way of " promoting a disturbance," at. Donnybrook and elsewhere, by trailing their man to a party-so hostile to England, would indeed be s subject of deep regret. _ _ . The argument — of " The Irish Confederation" above - mentioned, is also, to a certain extent, at present in tl:e mouths of the Old Ireland party. Mr. J. O'CONNELL, at the meeting of the Repeal Association last Monday - , declared that, above all things, it would be the duty of the Irish Members to say to the Minister in the Howe of Commons, "Remember, we are in the 47th year of the union with Great Britain,—remember that during the last 47 years we have had no controul over the des- I tinies of our country, which have been under your con troul and management during that period. Yes, for the last 47 years, you English, superior in intellectual qualifications, and in matters of common sense, as you consider yourselves to be, have had the government of this country in your hands, and the result is that you have reduced the country to such a state of perennial distress that the failure of a single article of food hes plunged it into an appalling and disastrous famine." But the meeting on the 14th instant, though distin guished by less of oratorical display than its predecessor promises to become the parezit of greater and of better things. This meeting was composed of the landed pro prietors of Ireland, convened by the Reproductive Com mittee, to consider and Sancti. .n the resolutions prepared by that Committee, and for some time past published it, all the papers. Fifteen peers, twenty-six members of the House of Commons, and above a thousand land holders, obeyed the call of the Committee. Never be fore was there seen in Dublin such a collection o. notables. Never were the representatives of so much property, collected under one roof in Ireland. Party and sectarian feelings were forgotten. Bitter antago nists took each other by the hand, and pledged them selves to fight together manfully for the preservation of the lives of the Irish people. -- Mr. G. A. HAMILTON, the . Orange Member for the University of Dublin, proposed the first resolution ; and stated, amid loud cheers, that it was his deliberate and firm conviction that the formation of an Irish party, irrespective of party considerations, was essential for the salvation of the country. Mr. C'CONNELL seconded Mr. , HAMILTON'S resolution, and declared, amid thunders of applaute, that he entirely agreed with every word that had fallen from Mr. HAMILTON on the important subject of form ing an Irish party at the present moment'; and that in order to attain so desirable an object, any sacrifice con sistent with duty ought to be freely made by all, for the purpose of effecting the great good that the formation of such a party would accomplish. And the Orange Earl of ERNE, in proposing the second resolution, declared that there was but one course for them to pursue, and that was, to adopt the advice of Mr. O'CoNNEnn, and make a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. And the perfect accord of that great meeting is exempli fied in the astonishing result of a full and unanimous agreement of above one thousand Irish gentlemen to 36 resolutions, given in one day, without noise or tumult, and almost without an unnecessary word. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in moving the last resolution, intimated that if such an Irish party had been formed ten years ago, it might have rendered the repeal of the union unnecessary. We ask Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN why such a party may not render it unnecessary now? Ten years are but as a moment in the life of a nation. Why may not a union of all good men in Ireland, acting in concert with a Government like the present, zealous for the advancement and prosperity of that country, give Ireland every benefit that a native Parliament could give it, and something more. Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived. The draft of the Address of the Senate has been agreed to. The Senate in this recommend, much to the annoyance of the Ministry, ,an enlargement of the amnesty. It is said that Mox will retire, and be succeeded by the Duke of SOTOMAYOR as Finance Minister. The Espectador has been acquitted on the accusation brought against it by the Ministry. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 12.—The Three per Cents. closed on the 11th at 32; the - Five per Cents. at 20% ; Passives, VA ; Coupons, 1834. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. Although these papers still continue to comment on the Spanish marriage question, yet it is evident that, in common with all other questions relating to merely foreign policy, it has lost its interest for the present. Public attention in France is at the present moment solely occupied in considering domestic affairs. With a panic on the Bourse, and food riots (many of which have been attended with bloodshed and loss of life) raging in twelve departments of the centre, west, and north, the Ministry and the Chambers will scarcely be inclined to waste time in long debates on the• ireicat Just;ect-i, 03: - 23/eSuirevit klairrin'titteolii4 l is satisfactory.

NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING. A special general meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was held 3 esterday, at one o'clock, in the London Ta- Vern, Bishopsgate- street, for the purpose, as stated in the advertisement, " of taking into consideration, and approving, or otherwise, the proposed application to Parliament for the partial deviation of the line, and the amendment of the Act constituting this company. Also, in compliance with the requisition of the shareholders, for the further purpose of taking into consideration and approving, or otherwise, cer tain propositions for an amalgamation of this company with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon-Tyns Junc tion Railway Company." Considerable interest was excited in consequence of the following counter-notice having been advertised in the London journals : " TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE NORTHERN COUNTIES UNION RAILWAY COMPANY. " In reference to an advertisement in the Morning Chroni cle on Monday, the 22d inst., calling a special meeting of the Shareholders of the Northern Counties Union, to be held on the 20th of January next, at the London Tavern, London, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of consideoing the propriety or otherwise of an amalgamation of the said company with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction Railway Company, we, the undersigned, being directors of the Northern Counties Union Company, consider it our duty to state that we dissent from the proposed amalgamation, and shall be prepared at the above meeting to give our reasons for such dissent. (Signed) " W. CRACKANTHORPE, Newbiggin Hall, Westmoreland. " H. HOWARD, Greystoke Castle, Cumberland. " H. PEASE, Pierrensont, Darlington. "J. WHITWELL, Kendal, Westmoreland. "J. C. HOPKINS, Woodside, Darlington." The meeting was therefore densely crowded. Major Beresford, M.P., was called to the chair. The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN said that this meeting had two distinct objects. In the first place, it was the intention of the directors to lay before the meeting, for their consiGeration, an amended Bill, which was to be introduced into Parliament during the present session. That Bill he considered, and he trusted the meeting would consider also, the effect of a resolu tion passed unanimously by the shareholders of this company, at a general meeting held in August last. If he understood the intention of the prospectus, it was that the simultaneons construction of two lines of railway—the Yorkshire and 'Glasgow and the York and Carlisle—would be injurious and detrimental, and contrary to the wishes of the shareholders of this company. If he were mistaken in this view of their wishes, they could state that he was wrong, and firmly and decidedly express the opinion which they really held, and the intention which they meant to adopt in consequence. If his reading of their wishes was the correct one ; if they did consider that the simultaneous- construction of these two lines was opposed to the- general interests of the shareholders; if they did consider that it was right and just to let them have the expenditure Of their own moneys, then, he said, they were justified in bringing forward the amended Bill in this session. It was proposed, and would 'be laid before the meeting that day, and they could then say whether they would wish it to be carried through Parlia ment. If, on the contrary, they said that the chairman had mistaken their views, then he would at once accede to their opinions, but until they did so. express themselves, he should hold that he had acted in obedience to the wishes of the shareholders of the company. Another matter in the Bill was to diminish, to some extent, the amount of their capital.—(Cheers.) When they first went before Parliament the amount of their capital had been found more than sufficient (after calculating all expenses) for the construction of either or both of their lines. The Consequence was, that they were enabled to limit the capital to 2,500,000/. if they constructed the Yorkshire and Glasgow Junction, and the York and Carlisle; but, if they confined themselves to the former, of course they could diminish their capital still further. After the first object which had called them together was disposed of, they would proceed to place the second before them. The requisition for calling the meeting to consider this subject had been numerously signed by , shareholders having shares in the Leeds and Carlisle, the Yorkshire and Glasgow Junction, and the Liverpool, Manchester, and New castle-upon-Tyne Junction. Certain conditions proposing an amalgamatiion had been submitted by the latter com pany, but he could assure the meeting, that these conditions had not been accepted by the directors of the Northern, Counties Union Company. After some further remarks, the Chairman called upon the Secretary to read the follow ing report : " The present meeting has been convened for two objects as stated in the advertisement. " First,—for the purpose of taking into consideration and approving, or otherwise, the proposed application to Parlia ment for the partial deviation of the line, and the amend ment of the Act constituting this compaay, 4 !Since the first general ordinary meeting of this cm - • pany, your directors have turned their attention to carrying i into effect the resoluti ons o f that meeting with respect to I e re-survey of the more expen , ive portions of your line, and for making the necessary preparations to proceed to Parliament in the present session for an amended Bill, ac cording to the report adopted at that meeting. " Your directors have to state that a re-survey of the ex pensive portions of your line from Smardale Gill to Barnard Castle, has been made by Mr. Harris, the engineer to the original York and Carlisle line, with a view to diminish the cost thereof, and that, upon examination of the sections, your directors unanimously resolved not to adopt his plans and survey, on account of the severity of the gradients. "In compliance with an agreement entered into with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon. Tyne Junction Railway Company, a deviation of your line has been surveyed at the point of junction with that company's line, in order to make as levels of both coincide. This deviation will im prove the line, and is estimated to effect a saving of expense in constructing it. "The draft of the Deviation Bill will now be laid before. you. " Your directors have the satisfaction of stating that they have entered into a further agreement with the directors of the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Junc tion Company for the joint construction of the line from Carperby (the point of junction) to Wath. " Secondly,—ln compliance with the requisition of the shareholders for the further taking into consideration mad approving, or otherwise, certain propositions for an amalga ation of this company with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon- Tyne - Junction Railway Company, the terms of which your directors submit for your consideration." The CHAIRMAN said, that they had heard the report read, and he would move that it be received, adopted, and printed for the use of the shareholders. Mr. SAMS seconded the motion, and it was carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN then read the clauses in the amended Act, the principal of which were the 12th and 13th, the former of which enacted that the capital, which in the former Bill was to be expended in equal proportions, and simultaneously, in the construction of that part of the railway which was situated between Thirsk Wath and Clifton, and in the con struction of that pat t between Bishop Auckland and Tebay. (the only part remaining of the York and Carlisle), should not be expended simultaneously, but at the will of the directors, and on any part of the line; the last to au thorise that the capital be 2,500,000/. instead of 3,000,000/. He concluded by moving that the Bill be agreed to by the shareholders Mr. SAMS seconded the resolution. Mr. H. HOWARD, in a long address, moved an amendment that the simultaneous clause be kept inviolate. He con sidered that it was an attempt on the part of certain of the directors to throw the only remaining portion of the York and Carlisle Railway overboard—he meant that portion of the line between Auckland and Tebay ; and on the part of those who had paid their moi ey for the, construction of that portion, he protested against the doing away with the clause, and he would demand a poll on the sul jest. Mr. EAST seconded the amendment, which was supported by Mr. Crackanthorpe, Mr Pease, and other gentlemen. After a long discussion, and much confusion, occasioned by Mr. Howard's determination to take the poll before having a show of hands, The CHAIRMAN overruled this determination, and took the show of hands, when only 13 were held up for the amend ment and some hundreds for the original resolution. Mr. HOWARD again, and amid the utmost confusion, de manded a poll, which wis taken, the numbers were— For the original resolution, present and proxies 8,140 For the amendment, present and proxies 3,303 Majority The resolution having been declared carried, The CHAIRMAN introduced the subject of an amalgamation with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Juneti.n Company. Mr. H. Innutcrrr moved " That power be given to enter into preliminary arrangements for the purposes of an amal • rgamation of this company with the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Company; that a deputation be appointed, consisting of the chairman and three directors, Mr. Wybill, Mr. Collett, M.P., and Mr. Salkhill, to negotiate for that pur pose, and to authorise them to conclude arrangements and report the same to the next general meeting." Mr. CARLISLE seconded the resolution. After some discussion, in which Mr. COLLETT and other gentlemen took part, Mr. CRACKANTHORPE moved " That it would be inex pedient to amalgamate with any other company." Mr. liowAao seconded the amendment in a long speech, which was frequently interrupted by the impatience of those present. Mr. WHITWELL, in an admirable address, supported the amendment. Mr. SALKICILL and Mr. Ammusts spoke in favour of the original motion. A show of hands was taken, when the original motion was carried. Mr. HOWARD demanded a poll, but it was decided that ►he question of " amalgamation ' was not before the meeting. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated after five hours' sitting. TEMPLEMORE AND NENAGH RAILWAY. -The first general meeting of this company was held yes terday at their office, Gresham Rooms, Gresham-street. W. R. Cor,Larr, Esq., M.P., took the chair shortly after one ,'clock, and after the advertisement had been read, said the circumstances under which this meeting had been called were not at all of agratifying description ; but when he stated what had taken place since they had obtained their Act of Parliament, he had no doubt that they would feel satisfied that the directors had done their duty. The report which would be read to them explained the particular reasons why the directors had refrained from prosecuting the line. The principal reason was, that the Great Southern and Western Railway, of which he was a director, had hesitated to com plete the arrangement, and the promise which they had for merly made,namely, that they would render this company their assistance either by the advance of money or by leasing the line. That company found, however, that they had now so much to do, amid the distressing circumstances of the country, to open their own line to Cork, and the leading non] - rti eaVNtitEhlarorriitirieffOrAlie same reasons. The directors, therefore, in these circumstances, refused to proceed further, and determined to liquidate all the liabi lities of the company, and to pay back the deposits to the shareholders. He thought, however, that this was the cheapest Act of Parliament which had yet beets obtained; the engineering was low, as were the law expenses, notwith standir g that they had a double contest to fight in the Committee, and he was proud of it, just that it might show bow unnecessary heavy expenses were. He said the line, of twenty-seven miles in length, had been surveyed, and cost, together with law expenses, ad vertising, Sm., 6,1161. 9s. 7d., which included all the liabi lities of the company. This having been paid off left them with a balance. in band of 6,0871. 2s. 6d., or 15s. 9d. a share, which had been returned to the shareholders. The Hon. Gentleman then enlarged on the superior prospects of the company, whose line would be greatly enhanced in value by the opening of the line from Dublin to Templeniore, passing, as it did, through a rich agricultural and mineral district. He said the directors hoped to be con• tinned in office still further, with the command of 3001. per annum, in order that they might continue the negotiations of Government. As to the intentions of Government. he would not, and indeed could not, speak with confidence, but it had been stated last night in the House that they would lay out money only on reproductive works, and he hoped therefrom that Got ernnient might be induced to advance one-halt the capital, and then, no doubt, the shareholders would advance the other. The report was then read and adopted. The directors, auditors, and secretary were re-appointed, and, after thanks to the chairmen, the meeting broke up.
