Mr. Philips, that the public discussion of the question, is highly desirable, and that, - whether the plan pro— posed be practicable or other wise, good must result from a careful and dispassionate consideration of it by all the parties whose interests are most immediately involved in it : Snitterfield, Stratford-oal-Avon, Sept. 7, 1847. Sir,—Your letter of the :3d instant has been for warded to me here, inclosing• a copy of the resolutions passed at a special delegate meeting of the operative cotton spinners of Lancashire and the neighbouring counties, with reference to the present depression in the cotton spinning trade. I have long been of opicnion myself that nothing short of a discontinuance of work in the cotton spinning factories, until the raw material could accu mulate to such an extent as to form a stock equal to the average quantity left on hand, until the result of the crop of 1847 could be ascertained, and began to come forward, could place the trade in a safe position prospectively. The delegates appear to take the same view as I have done, but cannot, any more than myself, be blind to the great difficulty of accomplishing such an object. _ _/ The first great consideration - with me has been the suffering which the entire stoppag e of the mills would instantly occasion to the unfortunate operatives them selves ; suffering aggravated so intensely by the re cent enormous price of bread. Tb is consideration has doubtless been foremost, likewise, in the m i n d s of the millowners; and I re j o i ce to find that the operatives have appreciated their motives, an d tender them their thanks for having reduced the period of work, instead of reducing wages merely. I know instances myself where the losses of millowners, this :year, have exceeded 5001. per week, by continuing theix operations. Ruin would be the result of such operations in a short time, and capital sunk is only the destruction of the means of future employment The employer and the employed have each of late been placed in a position of great suffering and mental anxiety—a position which I can only too painfully understand, having myself, at no very remote period, been taught it by experience. Another great difficulty which presented itself, some months ago, to the adoption of the course now recommended by the operatives was, that many mill owners had been enabled to secure a stock of cotton at so early a period as to place them in a position still to secure some advantage from their operations, or, at all events, to prote c t th emse l ves f rom positive loss. They could not be expected to consent to stop their mills, and throw their operatives out of work, to save others from loss, who had not, like themselves, secured a stock of cotton beforehand. Again, contracts had been entered into, and no doubt contracts exist, too, at the moment we are discussing this subject, which must be fulfilled before the millowner could close his mill. Neither can I shut my eyes to the fact, that the cessation of the operations of the cottons mills must in stantly affect a large body of labour beyond the mere factory hands. The weaver, the dyer, the printer, the bleacher, &c., must partake, more or less, in the sus pension of labour. The experiment is so bold, that it requires more consideration than I can give it here, without the advantage of personal communication with employers and employed, before:l would vent ure to affirm that the remedy wou ld be less formidable than the disease. I would observe, however, that the millowners have now waited many months in expectation of an im provement, which has failed to manifest itself; that these stocks of cotton, bought at an early period, have now probably very greatly diminished, or, in the case of many, may now be entirely consumed, which places all millowners much more on an equality, and leaves them more nearly in that relative position to wardsleach other, both as regards cotton and ma chinery which they maintain under ordinary circum stances. Providence has blessed us with an abundant har vest ; the price of provisions is falling, or certainly ought to fall, rapidly to rates at which man can live in comfort upon honest industry; reckless speculation in grain has met with its reward. The operative is, therefore, in a position undoubtedly to take his share in the experiment with less intensity of suffering than when provisions were at a famine price. You wish me, in conjunction with friends whom you have named, to endeavour to obtain the opinion of the millowners upon the course proposed by you. I observe that the Manchester papers have taken up the subject, and lam glad they have done so. Is it your opinion that, as an humble individual, no longer connected with cotton spinning, I can, in any man ner, induce the millowners to consider your proposal with greater readiness than at this moment they are inclined to do ? Will not the publicity given to the question through the newspapers effect your object ? I wish it to be discussed, I recommend it to be dis cussed, and I cannot conclude my hasty letter with out expressing to you the satisfaction with which I regard the tone and temper of your resolutions ; which, whilst they painfully excite my sympathy for the sufferings of the operative, prove to me that his intelligence is now teaching him to study the real cause of his suffering, and to take a comprehensive view of his position in strict connexion with that of his employer. Perhaps you will write to me, and say whether any steps have been taken i n thi s matter, as your letter, not having been addressed to me here, has been de layed several days before coming into my hands.—l remain, sir, yours faithfully, Mr. Thos. Brindle, Bolton.' MARK PHILIPS. ELOPEMENT.—During Friday and Saturday much interest and conversation was occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of the rural and hitherto quiet village of Acton, five miles from town on the Uxbridge-road, in consequence of an elopement which took place on the morning of the former day. The young lady in question is one of the eleven children (eight daughters and three sons) of a wealthy gentleman, residing in a spacious mansion, with extensive garden grounds, on the side of the high road at the western end of the village, and who also carries on a lucrative business in the neighbourhood of Charing-cross. Miss Georgians is about twenty years of age, and is a young lady of considerable personal charms, and engaging figure. It appears that during the present summer she has, on several occasions, taken a morning ride by the London and High Wycombe coach, which for some years has been driven by the pro prietor, Mr. Hart, past her father's residence, to which no objection was made by her parents, it appearing to improve her health, and up to Friday last not the slight est suspicion was entertained by any member of the fa mily that she had formed an intimacy of a tender nature with any individual, either of their acquaintance or other wise. On that morning she was found, however, to be missing from the house, without any person knowing how or when she left, or being able to account for her absence. Inquiries were, in consequence, instituted by her family in the neighbourhood, and it was eventually ascertained that she had been seen about eight o'clock proceeding to the lower end of the village, through which the high road passes, where a fly was drawn up, into which she was handed by a gentlemanly dressed in dividual, who is believed to have been Mr. Hart, and the vehicle was immediately driven off in the direction of town. Saturday it was currently stated at Acton that the fugitives had been married at one of the metro litan parish churches, but where they have retired to spend the honey-moon has not transpired. The bride groom is believed to be fifteen years the lady's senior.

The Good Service Pension of twenty-five shillings per diem has been bestowed upon Major-General Thomas Hunter Blair, C.B. This distinguished officer served on the staff in Portugal and Spain in 1808 and 1809, and was engaged at Roleia, Vimiera, and Corunna. ll e re • turned home and afterwards p rocee d e d to the Peninsula in August, 1809, and was present at the capture of Oporto, the affair of Salamonde, and th e battle of Tala vera, in which last desperate encounter he was severely wounded and made prisoner. He subsequently served the campaign of 1815, and was severely wounded at Waterloo. Soon after the withdrawal of the allied army from France he accompanied his friend, Sir Charles Col ville, to India, who was then appointed to the command of the Bombay army, as military secretary. Upon Sir Charles Colvill e ' s return to England, Lieutenant-Colonel Blair joined his regiment in Burmah, and was appointed to the command of a brigade. He much distinguished himself at Ava, and was present at the capture of Mel loon. —United Service Gazette.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determ'ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and tko indissoluble, regret us comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice deraand tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligkted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

On last Sunday a dead body was found on the road side at the Sluggies, between Maryborough and the Great Heath. It bore no marks of violence, and it is evident death was not the result of hunger, for 7s. in silver was found in the pocket of deceased : some bread was also found on his person, with a small diary containing scraps of poetry and prose, on a variety of subjects, written with a pencil, and bearing recent dates. But no clue tending to elucidate the name of the deceased was found amongst his papers. On Monday an inquest was held before John Hely Owen, Esq. The first witness exami ne d w as Mary Doran, of hilminchy. The deceased called at her house on Saturday evening, and asked for a night's lodging. Told him he could not get it, as there was no one in the house but three lone women. " I'm a woe-worn old man," said he, " and what have lone women to fear from me ?" He also said tobacco and beans (query Bacchus and Venus) had lost all influence over bim, that the seven sleepers put together were not half as torpid as he was. Seeing he had no chance, he asked them the way to Clonaslee ; they showed him the Mountmelick road, but on leaving he said he would go by M a ryb oroug h. The man appeared to be going very slow, he had a stick in his hand. After some deliberation the jury found a verdict that " Deceased died by the visitation of God." THE GREAT MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES, BETWEEN ROBERT, COOMBES AND NEWELL.—The preliminaries of this match are slowly progressing, but still little or nothing is being done in the way of betting, notwithstanding the confidence of success expressed by the friends of either party.

I I.—This morning two India rubber pontoons were brought to the Gun-wharf, at Chatham, from the Royal Engineer Department, for the purpose of con veyance to the Vernon at Portsmouth, which takes out o f Matter - General Good Hope. the new Go vernor -G eneral Sir Harry Smith to the Cape o T f he the Ord s e were an A pr m es e e n n .c t a e n d ;to thethye are portable, each of then forms three canoes, 18 feet in length, and about seven feet in width, and on their being required for use they are filled with air. The process of inflation is by three bellows screwed on at each end of the canoes , and ea c h t a k es about fiv e minutes to fill it with wind, and wh en t h ey are fittd with rafters form a very buoyant bridg e. These pon toons were exhibited t o G eneral Sir Ha rry Smith when he was at Chatham, and witnessed the late siege opera tions. On that occasion a 6-pounder field-piece, with 50 men, were carried about the river for some time on these pontoons, and General Sir Harry Smith was so delighted with them, that on his return to London he made special application for them at the Board of Ord nance. It is the intention of General Sir Harry Smith to use these pontoons in the Great Fish-river, for the conveyance of guns and troops across. Captain Richard Howarth. of the Royal Engineers, goes out in charge of the pontoons, and six other engineer officers embark with the new Governor for the Cape. Other pontoons, similar to those given to the Governor-General Sir Harry Smith, are to be immediately put in their places, as the pontoons in question were sent to Colonel Sir Frederick Smith for his opinion as to their efficiency for general service, who is to ma ke a report to the Board of `Ordnance regarding them. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE HIGHLANDS. LOCH LAGGAN, WEDNESDAY. Court Circulars are very meagre documents ; and although one is published every day giving an outline of the manner in which the royal party spend their time at Ardverikie, it is probable that the curiosity of the public on the subject remains unsatisfied—l mean, of course, the reasonable and fair curiosity of the public ; for, as the Court has withdrawn into the wilds of Badenoch to escape observation, it would be unbecoming and rude to act the Paul Fry upon its movements. In these remote districts, where nature reposes amidst a solitude as perfect a 5 Zimmerman ever pictured, it would be improper to chronicle the circumstances which give their hue and character to each day's amusements. Yet as these amusements are peculiar, and capable of general description, it appears only right that in this sense the public should know how the royal party kill time in the High lands. The Queen's present residence in the shooting lodge at Ardverikie, surrounded by a great forest, at once gives the clue to Prince Albert's principal occupation. I propose, therefore, to give you a short account of deer hunting in the Highlands, and the different mo d es by which it is pursued. A deer forest in this country is a very different thing from a deer forest in the south, and has, as a field for sport, far nobler and more commanding attributes. It covers a vast territory, from the precincts of which flocks of every kind, an even " the human face di vine," except the owner of it be a forester, are rigidly excluded. Erery where around lonely mountains swell from the moorland below in endless and irre gular succession ; some with grassy declivities, others heathclad and sombre to their very tops, while not a few present their bald and scathed summits to the storm, all verdure disappearing from these Alpine heights, which are gathered into broad and frowning masses of rock, or sharpened by contending tempests into peaks and savage ridges. In the hollows between this labyrinth of hills is many a wild retiring corrie, with the ceaseless play of silvery streamlets sounding through its depths, with hillocks and ravines of countless number and varying proportions, giving shelter over its extent, and upon its surface spreading a carpet of the richest grasses. Through such a wilderness the eye in vain roves for any object which can connect the scene with the humanities of life—no house better than a deserted shieling, no yel low patches of corn land, no broad plantations, no sign nor symptom of man, but in their stead straggling birch trees along the rough watercourses ; old vener able pines standing in melancholy grandeur among the crags and precipices of the stern mountain sides, and, obtruding from the moss amidst vast boulders of granite, the mouldering trunks of trees, which in years long gone by covered the expanse with their stately vegetation. Such are the general characteris tics of a deer forest in the Highlands. For the animals themselves, to whose preservation these wastes are devoted, they are, as every one knows, except at certain seasons, gregarious in their habits. You will see them at early dawn when morning mists are creeping up the hills and melting away, or, again, when the shadows of evening lengthen over the pros pect, browsing where a bright green spot high up in some corrie marks where a spring well, copious and cool, gushes out from the rocks. In the heat of day you will find them in the cover of deep woods, or high heather, or braken, enjoying the luxuries of a siesta. You may also catch a glimpse of a herd at this time resting on the brow of some mountain, over which the fresh air is creeping. Here, with their heads turned down the wind, and with a watchful hind in advance—her eye searching from the summ it what her companions cannot guard by their ke en ears and nostrils—they occupy a position w hi c h i t i s almost impossible to approach unobserved, and which gives some idea of the acute instincts which protect them against the hunter. And how are they circumvented ? For that there are at present in the Highlands three different ways adopted, all legitimate and manly as sources of sport, but of which unquestionably the first is stalking. A deer-stalker must have an iron frame, a keen eye, fleet feet, a deadly aim; he must be able to track, to calculate the shiftings of the wind, and the distances and cover of remote positions ; he must be fitted to bear cal and heat in rapid succession, to endure fa tigue and hunger, and to be patient, and silent, and cool under all. He must look at scaling a brae face with as much composure as a run upon a level ; and among the various exigencies of a mountain life his invention must be ready, and his nerve firm. When he issues in the grey light of the morning from the bothie where he has passed the night, dressed from top to toe in shepherd's plaid, a telescope slung behind his back, and his rifle in his hand, he studies the direction of the wind, and from the weather con• jectures where the deer may be found. Then taking to the hill and traversing with swift but cautious steps the high grounds of the forest, he proceeds to some particular corrie or glen where he believes oriSzloinp,ping silently along well and sweeping with eye e ac h new b en d i n hi s ua the nndd egr game latshse twh edgesie l g be r eo .f u found.ntdhwhich e h progress opens up to him, at last, after many a pause and lengthened survey, the deer are detected, their dun hides faintly discernible from the surrounding objects, and seen at that great distance like specks. Then the work of stalking begins. Slowly and si lently, and in a recumbent position, from behind the nearest shelter, the game are examined, their number counted, their position accurately marked, with the direction of the wind upon it, and what the deer are about. Upon this state of things the hunter takes counsel with himself, and having arranged his plan of action away he starts, keeping in such a direction as to prevent their getting wind of hips, and, holding as far as possible the high ground, he circumvents his prey, and after a circuit of several miles, perhaps, ar rives at last within reach. His path has been through soft morasses, in the bed of rugged watercourses, over gray cairns, and among sharp shingle, the debris of mountain torrents, until at last, dragging himself silently and stealthily up to the edge of some shelving rock, or on the shoulders of some projecting steep, he sees the antlered heads of the quarry moving before him. Not a moment is then to be lost ; the rifle is at his shoulder, and levelling his eye along its barrel,he aims low down under the fore shoulder of the largest stag. At the flash of the discharge the noble animal staggers and drops, and one moment of exulting triumph re pays the long-doubtful and arduous pursuit. Deer-driving and passes also form an agreeable and exciting mode of hunting in a forest. The stag has his accustomed track in the wilds, which he fre quents, just as men have their pathways. Those who are acquainted with the habits of the animal of course know where it is lik e l y to pass, an d pl ace there the sportsman. In hi s am b ush, which is gene rally on the brow of some mounta i n, or ove rlooking some hollow or ravine, he w a t c h es t h e a pproach of the game, while beaters are sc a tt ere d ove r the space thus commanded, and with many a shrill whistle and prolonged halloah, try to drive the deer towards him. Sometimes, however, they are not within the :beat ; sometimes they suspect danger, and burst back through those who urge them from behind ; some times they make for themselves new paths and escape from the threatened evil. In the meantime the sportsman crouches upon his pass, the cold mountain winds rushing past him, mist, rain, or snow—the concomitants of his solitary post, and, reaching his ear and eye from the valley stretched beneath his feet, the unwonted sights and sounds of these remote and stormy regions. He listens and watches during minutes that seem hours, and hours that seem days, and at last his patience is rewarded ; the clatter of hoofs is herd among the rocks, ascending to where he lies in breathless expectation, and in his lurking place he sees the herd pass by at a swinging trot. Steadily he surveys them, until the rough mane, rounded flanks, and spreading antlers of the heaviest stag appear in sight, and then , collecting himself for a moment, he brings the proud animal down. The third and last kind of deer-hunting still used I in the Highlands is that with deer hounds, and a noble sight it is, though belonging more to the sports of remote and barbarous times. The dogs themselves are splendid animals, familiarised to the public by th e writings of Sir Walter Scott and the paintings of Landseer. There can be few finer sights than to see a large deer-hound of the true old breed, his long wiry hair bristling with excitement, bounding after a stag, and at last, after many a struggle, closing on him and bringing him down. No one who has ever ling interest with which it must have inspired him— seen a spectacle of the kind can ever forget the thril the desperate terror of the deer as he fled, or the pitiable expression of the poor animal when hunted to death and gasping With peculiar fascination which these wild sports have about them, his last breath. it is not to be wondered at that deer forests are rapidly on the increase, and threaten to overspread the land. Thirty years ago there were comparatively few forests in the Highlands, the principal being those of the Monie, Leah, Glenartney, Gaick, Braemar, and Athol. At a subsequent period those of Dalness, Gallovie, and Benaulder, were revived, and others created in Glengarry, Lochiel, Glenmoriston, and the Black Mount. And now, in addition to these, there are in existence the forests of Glen Strathfarar and Dalcataig, belonging to Lord Lovat. The land thus covered with deer, and preserved for their sole use, is of immense extent, and would, at a rough guess, if under sheep, yield a rental of about 2(1,0001. It would be travelling out of my province wt?..re I to speculate upon the effect which this great appropriation of the soil is likely to have upon the permanent prosperity of the Highlands, but it must be obvious to the most cursory observer that that is a q uestion which it is of the utmost consequence to bring to an immediate issue. To-day his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accom partied by Sir James Clarke, visited Glen Roy, to the construction and appearance of the parallel roads in which I referred at some length in my last commu nication. The Fairy and the Garland steamers have left their anchorage beside the other vessels of the squadron, and proceeded up the Caledonian Canal, it is said, with the view of enabling her Majesty to examine the scer.'ery of Loch Lochy and Loch Ness. Nothing yet appears to have been positively settled as to the time of her Majesty's departure for England, but I have good ground for believing that it will take place early next week, and that the royal squadron will return by the west coast.—Times. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LEEDS, WAKEFIELD, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION. A meetin g o f the shareholders in this project was held on Thursday, at Wakefield, Mr. J. Houldsworth in the chair. The So!.icrroit read the report, which stated that the committee were much disappointed in not having received the sanction of Parliament to the scheme, which was not rejected on its merits, but in conse quence of the Great Northern Company being de barred, by an error in levels, from bringing their scheme at the same time before the Commons' Com mittee for an independent entrance into Leeds ; that after all outstanding claims had been satisfied, a balance would remain of 26,8931., including 10,0001. received from the Midland Company, under the agree ment entered into on the 29th of September, 1846, and a further sum of 1,2001.; that although they were fully convinced of the superior merits of the proposed line over either of the rival projects, they would not recommend an independent application to Parliament in the next session, after having suffered two defeats in former sessions, at a heavy loss to themselves and to the Midland Company. They thought it better to dissolve the com pany and return 1/. ss. Bd. per share to those who had paid the deposit of 2/. 2s. in full. This would require the sum of 26,3271., leaving a balance of 1,889/. to meet the outstanding claims against the company, including the demand of Sir William Pilkington. The accounts showed that 43,081/ had been received from the shareholders, and a subscription of 11,2001. from the Midland Company towards expenses. The sum expended amounted to 26,3931., including unsettled claims of 1,3341., leaving a balance at the bankers of 28,0131. The CHAIRMAN remarked that they could probably make up 11. 6s. 61 per share to return; that the pro ject could not pay as an independent line, and that it was not likely that the Midland would assist them again, having already lost so much by the scheme. After some discussion, resolutions were unani mously passed adopting the report, and authorising the directors to take immediate steps for the dissolu tion of the company and the return of the deposits. Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. DUFFRYN, LLYNVI, AND PORTHCAWL At a special meeting of this company, held on Tuesday at Pyle, Mr. M. P. Smith was unammoLsly elected a director to represent the company at the Llynvi Valley;Railway board, in accordance with the terms of amalgamation of the former with the latter company. GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND ARDROSSAN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday at Glasgow, the Earl of Eglinton in the chair. The report stated that last session they ob tained Acts to construct branches to Fenwick and Rowallan, and to the Ayrshire main line near Kel winning, and their Busby branch near Springside ; to substitute an open cutting for a tunnel near Dun lop, and to extend the main line to the proposed station in Portland-street, Kilmarnock ; also empow ering the company to run engines and mineral trains over the Ayrshire line and branches from the junc tion with the main line of the latter at Fergushill and Kilmarnock, to the mineral fields at East Colliery and Loudon. These powers were granted in consi deration of the proposed Colliery, Loudon, and Au chenharvie branches not being conceded. The di rectors congratulate the shareholders on the results of the successful opposition to the branches proposed by the Ayrshire company for the district occupied by the projects included in the Bill of 1846. They state that the revenue of the existing Ardrossan line more than justified their calculations and anticipations of it held out in December last ; that it is expected that the Glasgow, Barrhead, and Neilston line will be opened in December next from Glasgow to Barrhead, and the more difficult portion of the line from Barr head to Crofthead, was:considerably advanced, so that the continuation of the line to Glasgow would be soon esta blished. The directors have refrained from entering into any contract for the execution of the heavy works on a portion of the main line, in consequence of the high price of labour, and as there were every prospect immediately after the extensive railway works in the country were completed, that more advantageous terms could be made with able contractors. The di rectors have limited their operations to the branches from the existing Ardrossan line to Perecton and Springside, and to the Ayrshire line at Fergushill, part of which is already opened. That they have given instructions to the law agents to proceed to recover the arrears due on calls. That the meeting was also made special for the purpose of considering and determining the question of amalgamation with the Caledonian Company on the following terms : " That the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and Ardrossan Railway Company's capital stock of 700,C00/. be amalgamated with the Caledonian stock and bear a dividend of 6 per cent., provided the net profit of that line yield that return, with an option to that company of availing themselves, in lieu of such guarantee, of the dividend which may be paid by the amalgamated company." This arrangement was stated to be ap proved of by the shareholders, at a meeting held in 1845, and ratified by the shareholders of the Caledo• nian Company in February last. The CHAIRMAN said, that the principal topics were contained in the report, and he congratulated them on the revenue from the Ardrossan line exceeding their anticipations ; that of course the revenue of the harbour would increase with it, and he had no doubt the latter would prove remunerative ; that in con sequence of the depressed state of the money market and the high rate of wages, and the difficulty of going on at once, they intended to apply next session for an extension of time for the completion of the works. He did not think they were justified in hesi tating any longer to enforce the payment of calls. He thought that the agreement for amalgamation with the Caledonian would be advantageous to the company; that it would give them increased strength and influence if they were backed by that company ; that the Caledonian Company had acted in every re spect in the most honourable manner towards them. He felt himself, in honour and inclination, bound to recommend that the shareholders should agree to that proposal, and, in conclusion, moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded. Mr. SMITH regretted that he could not approve of the report in one or two points. He was glad to hear that the revenue had been more lucrative than was expected. With regard to enforcing the payment of calls, he could not agree to it. Looking at the state of the money market and to other circumstances, he thought great indulgence should be shown before they proceeded such a length, for he could conceive nothing more injurious to their company than to authorise law agents to bring 20 or 30 proprietors into court and prosecute them for arrears without any pressing necessity for such proceedings. The CHAIRMAN said it would be extremely desira ble not to proceed unless absolutely necessary, but it was now seven or eight months since the last call had been made, and arrears to an enormous amount were still due. They had also contracts to purchase the Ardrossan Railway, which would require a large sum of money, and which they were bound to carry out, and for which that company would pay interest. It was therefore necessary for them to try to raise money in some way or other. After some observations from Mr. GRAHAM with respect to the necessity of going on with a portion of the works, Mr. SMITH moved an amendment to the report, that the portions of it which related to the enforce me4 of calls, and for the amalgamation with the Caledonian Company, be not approved. Mr. GRAHAM seconded the motion. Mr. he stFtnce, that that part of the report Company to the ama l ga mation with the Caledonian be not approved. On the votes being taken, there was a considerable Iy n , en a d t me the nts suggestion separately; o f Chairman, moved IT his amendments the The motion with rega rd to the payment of calls was not put, the directors agreeing to the sugges tion, that unless they felt it to be absolutel y neees they would not enforce their immediate pay. majority in , e f e a a var d of the amendment, which was de : e t:l wy ment. Resolutions were then passed re-electing one of the four retiring directors (the Earl of Eglinton), and electing three new directors in the room of those who retired. After the election of auditors and a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. His Royal Highness the Duke of Nassau and suite embarked, on Saturday morning at Blackw•all-pior, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's mail steam-ship Giraffe, for Rotterdam, en route to his palace at Bieberich.

COURT CIRCULAR. ARDVERIKIE, SEPT. B.—The Marquis and Mar chioness of Abercorn arrived on a visit to her Majesty. There was no other addition to the royal dinner party. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent ar rived at her residence, Clarence House, St. James's, at half-past one on Saturday afternoon, from Frog more House, Windsor. Her Royal Highness left town at twenty minutes before three o'clock on her return to Frogmore House. Dispatches for the Governor of New South Wales were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial office. THE LATE FAILURES. Much excitement was occasioned on Saturday morning by the announcement of the failure of Gower, Nephews, and Co. The liabilities on bills alone are alleged to amount to 600,0001., and it is considered probable that the total commitments of the firm will be found to reach 800,0001. For two years past the position of the house has been from tinie to time a subject of inquiry, and this in so many quarters as to lead irresistibly to the conclusion that nothing but the circumstance of one of the partners being a bank director could have kept it in a degree of credit up to this period sufficient to render possible the wide and *rushing consequences which must now be sus tained. The standing of Mr. A. L. Gower in the bank direction was such as to bring him very nearly in rotation for the office of deputy-governor, and he was one of those passed over, or by whom the office was declined, on the recent occasion of the vacancy caused by the failure of Mr. Robinson. In addition to the post of bank director, we believe he also held that of governor of the Mines Royal Copper Company. The immediate causes of the present suspension are said to have consisted in the failure of Gemmell and Co., of Glasgow, and of some of the other houses which have recently been reported ; but it is appre hended that the real difficulties of the firm will be found of much more distant date, and that its liqui dation will expose a long existing state of unsound ness. Railway speculations—the source whence the public are destined to find the solution to a deplorable succession of misfortunes yet to come—have operated, it is expected, in this instance to no small extent; and although in some transactions, such as those con nected with the Dutch Rhenish and Canadian Com panies, which do not occupy a very favourable place in the recollection of the community, the partners in the firm are understood to have made large profits by the peculiar mode which was adopted of introducing the shares upon the market, there is every reason to believe that on the whole the losses sustained by them have been extensive. Consequent upon the failure of Gower, Nephews, we have that of Alison, Cumberlege, and Co., a smaller firm, in the South American trade, with which they were connected. About a month back Mr. Alison sailed for Valparaiso, and as Mr. Cumber lege is already r e side n t th ere , he junior partner, a Mr. Gower, is the only representative of the house now in London. The liabilities in this case have not been stated.—Times. VAUXHALL GARDENS. TESTIMONIAL TO MR. WARDELL. On Saturday evening the artists of this establish ment presented a handsome and valuable tea service of plate to Mr. Robert Wardell, under whose judicious and spirited management this place of amusement has been made a source of varied and agreeable recreation to the public, as well as of profit to the proprietors. The secret of this success was manifested in the friendly feeling exhibited on this occasion between the employer and the employed, arising from a just appreciation of the rights of both parties, whose gains are equitably divided between the fair profits of capital and the just reward of talent and industry. The mutual interest which the parties have, under such circumstances, to co-operate towards one end is the best guarantee for success. The gentlemen who presented this memorial to Mr. Wardell stated it was offered " as a mark of the high estimation in which he is held by the various persons who have been con nected with the gardens, for his urbanity and gentle manly conduct to all connected with the establish ment, and as a mark of the admiration in which he is held for his unremitting exertions in connexion with the present season, under difficulties of no ordi nary kind." Mr. WARDELL, in acknowledging the compliment that had been paid, acknowledged the services which had been rendered to him by the professional talent of the establishment in every department, and the per fect unanimity with which they exerted themselves in seconding his arrangements for the public amusement. He concluded his observations by proposing the health of Mr. Darby, who, he said, was the only person en gaged at the gardens whoever indulged "in a flare up," and on that account was entitled to that mark of respect. He also stated that the gardens would be placed at his disposal, for his benefit, on Thursday next, and expressed a hope that it might prove some compensation to him for the severe loss he had recently sustained. This sentiment of kindly feeling was received with general approbation, and the evening was spent in convivial harmony, the various artists contributing their several powers in promotion of good fellowship and recreation. The Arabs presented Mr. Wardell with a gold chronometer, as a mark of respect, and in appreciation of the honourable treatment they had re ceived at his bands. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.-011 Saturday morning last, about half-past six o'clock, as the gamekeeper of Mr. Frogley and his assistant were engaged in their duty at West Horsley, Surrey, they came up with two men who were poaching on the grounds, and who im mediately drew forth long knives similar to those used by butchers, and stabbed the one in the breast and the other in the loins. A description of the two fellows has been printed and placarded, and a reward of 501. offered by Mr. Frogley and another 501. by Mr. H. Currie, 51. P., to any person who shall give such information as may lead to their conviction. One of them is about five feet four inches in height, about thirty years old, pale, with very little whiskers. The other is about five feet five inches or six inches high, dark, with little whiskers, about thirty years of age ; they were dressed like countrymen. There is every reason to suppose the miscreants would have murdered the keepers had they not been afraid of alarming some farm labourers at work at a short distance. No exertions will be spared to bring these attempted murderers to justice. SALE or THE COPYRIGHT OF THE POSTHUMOUS WORKS OF DR. CHALMERS.—The religious public will be equally surprised and gratified to learn that the late Dr. Chalmers has left a large quantity of unpublished manuscripts, among which is a Commentary on the Scriptures, as far as the book of Jeremiah. The com mentary, we understand, differs in its plan from the commentaries of Poole, Henry, Scott, and Clarke, and i s wr i tten i n a manner which is sure to render it popular among all classes of evangelical Christians. Among the manuscripts fully written out, and in a fit state for publi cation, are also the series of lectures which be, as Pro fessor of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh, ad dressed to the students whose theological education was committed to his care. These lectures are understood to be singularly original and brilliant. There have likewise been found, among the correspondence which Dr. Chal mers carried on with nearly all the distinguished men of the present century, a number of letters of a deeply in-__ teresting nature, sufficient to make, with a memoir of himself, four large octavo volumes. The whole of the Rev. Gentleman's manuscripts have been bought by Mr. new Th Member oma s Constable, for Edinburgh, brot he a;r in the friend of Sir Walter Scott , a nd p ublisher of all his works.
