The business of this Company since its institution has increased steadily year by year, until it has attained its present large amount. In 1825, when the Company was established, few persons compara tively availed themselves of Life Assurance; and the amount of business transacted by the threes then in existence, though few in number, was of very limited extent. About the period of the first investigation of the Company's affairs in 1835, the public interest in Life Assurance became much more general. Various new Offices had been established both in Scotland and England; and the suc cessful course of the Offices previously established, which was then becoming more strongly marked, had the effect of directing the at- tention of many persons to the subject who had not previously con. sidered it. These circumstances, and the satisfactory result of the Company's business at the first investigation, bad the effect of greatly accelefating the progress of the institution, and in the period between the First Division of Profits in 1835 and the Second In 1840, the income of the Company was more than doubled. The division of profit in 1840 again called increased attention to the Company; and at 1845, the Third Division of Profits, the income was nearly treble the amount at 1840, the previous Division. The following account of the Progress of the Business within the last four years will serve better than any other example to show how rapidly the Company is progressing : 843 and 1844—New Policies.. • • • • 845 and 1846 Ditto FIRST WORK OF A NEW NOVELIST.

LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS. From Mr. F. C. Ladbury, surgeon, &c., Wednesbury. " September 6, 1846. " Gentlemen,—l have proved your Pulntonie Wafers to be most efficacious in all pulmonary affections, and a powerful sedative in diseases of the heart. The combinations I consider especially good, as it relieves without producing any unpleasant sensations in the head so generally caused by all other anodyne and cough medicines. (Signed) " F. C. LADRURY." Dr. LOCOOK'S WAFERS give instant relief and a rapid cure of asthmas, consumptions, coughs, colds,and all disorders of the breath and lungs. To singers and public speakers they are invaluable as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness, and increase the power and flexibility of the voice. They have a moss pleasant taste.

M - One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone digniles the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULYERSVELL'S little MEMOIRS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively reined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but 'or the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on 'he above subjects, by unqualified authors, whisk alone or ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

HULL, Nov. 9, 1847.—This day will be memorable in the history of this borough as a period when tEe real Reformers have shown themselves deserving the name. They have broken up a domineering faction which has been strengthening itself ever since the Municipal Cor porations Reform Act was passed until the condo. 2t of its leader became insupportable; and at last the ReVormers, being determined no longer to succumb to the diictation of a clique who arrogated to itself the power of naming the Mayor,iAldermen, !ke g to be chosen, have broken the spell that bound them, and have elected a man. .of their own choice and free will to the mayoralty, Jgb n Lee Smith, Esq., who ably and independently filled th e office of sheriff last year. NEW MAYORS.—LIVERPOOL.—Yesterday ith e an nual election of mayor for the borough took plat e, when Mr. T. B. Horsfall was elected by a majority of t wenty nine to twenty-seven against Mr. T. B.

THE BANQUET. The banquet was given in the usual magnificent style, at Guildhall. The company began to arrive as early as four o'clock. At about half-past six the Lord Mayor, preceded by the trumpeters of the Life Guards, attired i n their state uniforms, and fol lowed by the Ministers of State, the foreign Ambas sadors, &c., entered the hall by the state entrance from the receiving chamber, and the procession moved across the hall, and turning to the left and thence to the top table, the guests t oo k th e i r p l aces i n th e order which had been previously arranged. The lighting of the hall, and the general effect of the display of the splendid gas star, the'arrangement of the banners, &c., under the directions of Mr. Bunning, reflected the highest credit on that gentleman's well-known taste and judgment. In the window at the east end there has this year been introduced a novelty of a singularly curiuus and beautiful character. At the, base of the window, and immediately over the Lord Mayor's seat, were the words, " God save the .Queen," in large and brilliant borate trophy, was placed, in honour of the birthday letters, and imm e di a t e l y above' in the midst of an ela of the Princ e o f W a l es, a magnificent plume o f f eat h ers , with the usual appendage of royal coronet and motto, " Ich Dien." This slilendid object measures nine feet in height, and, with the exception of the stems, which are of gilt metal, is composed entirely of spun glass, of the finest texture and most dazzling whiteness. The fibres which constitute the feathery portion of the plume are as fine as hair, and have the soft and glossy appearance of silk. This superb and costly ornament was entirely designed by Mr. Bunning, and executed under his immediate superin tendence, by Mr. Martin, of the house of the late William Collins, of the -Strand. AR a matter of curiosity, it may be addeetiiiit the combined length of the several fibres of glass employed in the con struction of this interesting ornament is equal to 50,000 miles. The Council Chamber, with its rich collection of paintings and sculpture, was appropriated, as usual, for the presentation of guests to the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress prior to the banquet, and as a retiring room afterwards. By an outlet at the upper end of this room visitors passed through a small outer room into the Court of Aldermen's Chamber, elegantly fitted up as a withdrawing room. From openings made by the removal of the two large windows at the end of this apartment, the company obtained a view of an other new embellishment more startling, perhaps, than any that preceded it. This was a representation of part of the Alpine pass across Mount Simplon. In this instance an attempt has been made to convey an idea of the majestic grandeur and wildness of the scene, not merely by a painting on a plan surface, but (after the manner used at the Col osseum ) b y gs other acces sories, s erecting t oactual representstructures variousa d e i employingatureof it. The scene, therefore, occupies the whole area of a large court-yard, and may, in fact, be called a model of the locality it represents, which is the gorge and gallery of Gondi, with the waterfall of the Frasmodi, on the Italian side of the Simplon, about four leagues from Domo d'Ossola. It is intended by the Corporation that all these splendid decorations (including the plume of feathers, the Alpine scene, and the conservatory) shall remain up for use at the approaching Polish Ball, which will take place on the 17th instant with surpassing mag• nificence. Among the company present were, on the right of the Lord Mayor,—The French Ambassador, the Duc de Broglie, Lord John Russell, M.P., the Earl of Auckland, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon.

WlNES.—Champagne, hock, claret, madeira, port, and sherry. Grace was said before dinner by the Lord Mayor's Chaplain. The cloth having been removed and Non Nobis chanted, The LORD MAYOR rose to give the first toast.—lt was a great gratification to him to propose in that hall " The health of her Majesty the Queen," wishing her a long, a happy, and a glorious reign.—(Drunk with all the honours and followed by the National Anthem.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said he had great pleasure in giving " The health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager," with sincere wishes that she might return to this country with renewed health after her sojourn abroad.—(Loud cheers, followed by a glee.) The LORD MAYOR said, the next toast was _ _ _ _ The health of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the remaining branches of the Royal Family." That day was not only dear to those he addressed as citizens of London in con nexion with one of their most cherished privileges— the election and inauguration of their chief magis trate ; it was also memorable as the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.—(Cheers.) He was sure they all entertained towards his Royal Highness every feeling of attachment.—(Cheers.) He hoped as he grew in stature he would grow in wisdom, and ultimately prove a blessing to the country.—(Loud cheers.) The next toast was, "Prosperity to the City of Lon don and its Trade."—(Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR had great pleasure in next pro posing " The Navy and Army." Although living in times of peace, which he hoped would long continue, for it was a great blessing to the world, they must not forget the glorious deeds which both services had rendered in times past, and which always ought to excite the grateful recollections of the country. He had great pleasure in associating with the navy the name of a Noble Earl who was then present, who had twice filled the honourable post of First Lord of the Admiralty, and whose name he was sure would be well received in every assembly of Englishmen—he meant the Earl of Auckland.—(Cheers.) And with the army he begged to connect the name of Sir E. Cust. He was quite sure, if either of the services were again wanted, their achievements would equal anything accomplished in former times.—(Cheers.) The Earl of AUCKLAND and Sir, E. CusT, briefly acknowledged the compliment. The LORD MAYOR next proposed " The health of the late Lord Mayor." He had great gratification in stating that his Lordship had gone through his year of office in a manner calculated to secure the full concurrence and approval of his brother magistrates. —(Cheers.) Considering the great number of cases which had come under his notice as chief magistrate, he could appeal with confidence to every one who had observed the manner in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged his duties, whether he had not uni fJrmly acquitted himself in a manner to entitle him to the high commendation of his fellow-citizens.— (Cheers.) Guided by a strong, honest, and upright desire to do what he considered best, it must be a high satisfaction to him that he now retired from office with the conviction in his own mind that he had faithfully, conscientiously, and fully discharged his duty, and carried with him that best of all rewards, the approval of every honest mind.—(Loud cheers.) Sir G. CARROLL returned thanks. Nothing, he could assure them, was a more gratifying compliment to a public man on retiring from office than the tribute he had just received of approbation from his fellow citizens and brother magistrates. He had endeavoured to do his duty faithfully and impartially, and their public approval had amply rewarded him.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said, they were honoured with the presence of several Ambassadors representing foreign Princes. It was gratifying to have an opportunity of seeing at that table so many distinguished characters from other countries. It was a sure proof that we were on re lations of amity and in bonds of peace with the nations of Europe and America. He earnestly hoped for the continuance of peace during many years ; thus, through a free intercourse between different nations, would the blessings of civilization be most happily promoted.—(Cheers.) That these amicable relations might exist was, he was sure, the unanimous wish of every individual he now addressed.—(Cheers.) They were now honoured with the presence of his Excel lency the French Ambassador.— (Cheers.) They were all, he was sure, anxious that nothing should occur to disturb the good feeling and harmony that ought to prevail, and which at present prevailed, be tween this country and that great nation whose re presentative sat immediately on his right.—(Cheers.) They all felt it was essential to the peace of Europe and of the world, that two countries like Great Britain and France should be united together in the firm bonds of peace and amity. That this might last for many years to come was his most sincere and anxious wish. He had great pleasure in connecting with the toast of the " Foreign Ambassadors " " The health of his Excellency the French Minister."—(Loud cheers.) M. le Duc de BROGLIE—J'ai regret, ou pluta je suis confus, de n'oser repondre a votre noble et bien veillant appel dans une langue qui m'est etrangere; j'en ai regret surtout pour le corps auquel J , appar dens ; it lui faudrait un autre interprete. Les vceux que nous formons, en effet, les sentimens qui nous animent, nous tenons a les exprimer tout haut devant toute l'Angleterre en presence de cette immense cite, la tete et le cceur de ce vaste empire. Nos voaux sont ceux que forment pour lui sea propres enfans. Grace a Dieu, nous ne viv ons plus Bans ces temps d'etroite jalousie, de rival ite obstinee, ou les nations ne voyaient leurs grandeur et , leur prosperite que dans l'abaissement et la ruine 1 une de l'autre. Nous vivons dans les temps de p aix et de liberte. Les arts de la paix sont feconds et fraternels. ' -yous les peu plea peuvent grandir ensembles au soleil de la liberte ; t ou t s peuvent s'elever en civilization, en dignite mo rale, en la science, en richesse, a pas inegaux pent etre, mais sans se porter envie. Nous voyons avec joie les progres de l' An g leterre. N ous admirons les fruits de son genie hardi et perseverant, les tresors de son commerce, les merveilles de son industrie, etalees, sous nos yeux, dans la magnificence de cette , fete civique. Nous reconna issons dans Phospitalite splendide qu'elle exerce envers nous un nouveau t e mo i g nage de ce respect et cette affection qu'elle porte aux Princes des nations que nous representons ici. Ces sentimens sont reciproques. Puissent-ils s'accroitre de jour en jour L'Europe leur doit déjà trente annees de paix. Puissent ces trente an flees etre sui suivies de trente autres, et de trente autres encore! Puissent, de generation en genera tion, tons ceux qui viendront, a pareil jour, nous rem placer dans cette enceinte, avoir droit, comme nous, de se feliciter du passe et de compter sur ravenir The LORD MAYOR then rose and said, he had now the honour to propose a toast, which he was quite confident would secure their unanimous approbation. He was about to propose " The health of her Majes ty's Ministers."—(Loud and continued cheering.) He offered no political toast, nor was there any ne cessity in that hall, on such an occasion, that he should do so. But it was fitting and necessary that they should pay that courtesy and render that homage to her Majesty's Ministers which - they -de-mixed, exercis ing, as they did, the great functions of the Govern ment.—(Cheers.) If there ever was a period when more than another it behoved them to lay aside poli tics and unite heart and hand in stipport of Ministers. it was the present juncture—(C(eers)—and he did hope they would give them an assurance that the possessed the confidence of the citizens of London— (Loud cheers)—that as men of high talent, distin guished worth, and strict integrity, they would devise and carry out those measures which might prove to be for the benefit of the country.—(Loud cheers.) On the present occasion they were honoured with the presence of the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, the head of the Cabinet.—(Loud cheers.) He begged leave to offer that Noble Lord the sincere good wishes of the company, that his Lordship and the Govern ment might, under the blessing of Providence, carry forward all those measures which the exigency of the state and the peculiar circumstances of the times re quired. He trusted they would be blessed with health and energy, and that their measures would be successful. The toast was drunk with all the honours amidst most vociferous cheering. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in rising to acknowledge the toast, was received with renewed applause. His Lordship spoke as follows :—I beg, in the name of her Majesty's Ministers and my own, to thank you for the great honour you have done us in drinking our health. We are fully aware of the importance of having the support and confidence of the city of London for the purpose of carrying on the Govern ment. I am sure, that we, the Queen's Ministers, intend to do what we think will be most beneficial for the country ; and in that belief, omitting all subjects of political controversy, I will say we shall not hesi tate to administer, and, if need be, to exceed the law, if we think it necessary for the public welfare. I have heard with great pleasure your Lordship's sen timents in favour of the continuance of peace—sen timents which were so well responded to by my illus trious friend the,: French Ambassador, who is here present. I wish, like him, that that peace which has now lasted for thirty years may long endure, , and my anxiety for its continuance, I own, arises not more from a sense of the evils of the war which then closed, than from the experience of the benefits of that peace we have so long enjoyed.— (Loud cheers.) I trust that you and this company will permit me, before I sit down, to give " The health of the Lord Mayor."—(Loud cheers.) It is of the utmost importance that the functions which he ad ministers in this great city should be discharged with ctoo( z hicf e nra n ectht s hueyewem o roh f scsut.o)ai L htnyw o acv n leimel d slt o arci y n nnuh oso h wttsn a etho v nhbit e cae ht c ab h dehi o cene s hfid e imet n ei sfeate a nyum s ter abo t bgi h emen e i rthoseefqmuaa l g i t i s i e t r s e magistrate coming acbteuyedte equal(tl fc h e e ehtleo p es e aru r a sn c i e I beg to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor." The Lord MAYOR returned thanks, and gave " The health of the Judges." Lord DENMAN acknowledged the compliment and proposed " The health of the Lady Mayoress," which was drunk with all the honours. The LORD MAYOR having returned thanks, the la dies retired. " The Attorney-General and the Bar," " The Re presentatives of the city of London" (acknowledged by Baron Lionel de Rothschild), " The Sheriffs," "The Magistrates of the city of London," and several other toasts, were then drunk, after which the com pany retired. Mr. Harker officiated as toast-master. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.- On Monday morning an accident occurred to one of the trains on this line, which, though of an unpleasant nature, was, fortunately, not attended with any very serious consequences. In consequence of the approach ing Parliamentary sitting the trains within the past few days have been exceedingly heavy, and the train which left Exeter that morning at eight o'clock, intended to reach Paddington at three P.M., was one of unusual length. It had proceeded on its way till it arrived near Bridgewater. when, to use the expression of one of the railway employes, " one of the legs came off the steamer," so that it had to work on one leg for some distance ; caused, it is supposed, by the extraordinary load of the train, and the contrary wind and wet at the time. The power of the steam having been thus gone, it was found necessary to get up the steam in another boiler at Bridgewater, as the train was unable to proceed further, and a considerable delay to the already affrighted passengers was occasioned. After a stop page of full one hour the train was enabled to proceed ; but in consequence of the delay the greatest suspense and alarm prevailed at all the intermediate stations, and the other trains throughout the day were put in confusion and disorder. An additional loss of time also occurred in the distances between the different stations, and on the heavy train reaching Paddington it was nearly two hours beyond its appointed time. We have no doubt, from the complaints made, that an in quiry will be instituted, in order to see to what party blame is attached. CHARTER OF INCORPORATION FOR BIRKENHEAD.— A meeting of the owners of property in Birkenhead, the rate-payers, and people generally of the township, was held on Monday, at the Craven Rooms, for the pur pose of adopting such measures as might be deemed necessary towards obtaining for the town a charter of incorporation; and also for agreeing to invest the autho rities with powers to lay an additional tax on the owners of all landed and house property in the township. The meeting was very numerously attended. Wm. Jackson, Esq., M.P., was called to the chair. Mr. Mortimer, as one of the overseers of the poor, then read the requisi tion on which, with his colleague, he had been induced to call the meeting, after which the Chairman ad dressed the meeting at considerable length on the object for which they had been assembled, and read the following resolution which he had prepared for the meeting:—" Resolved, That the owners and oc cupiers of property :in Birkenhead, Claughton-cums- Grange, and part of Oxton, in public meeting astembled, regarding with deep concern the present position of the township, and being desirous of a better administration of our local affairs, and that faith may be maintained with the township creditors, and encourage ment given for the investment of capital, do hereby re respectfully, but earnestly, call upon the Commissioners to take steps for the purpose of obtaining for this dis trict the privilege of municipal incorporation ; and for the purpose of authorising by an application to Parlia ment in the ensuing session, and otherwise, the levy of a general rate upon property within the district for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt. And we further request the Commissioners to call a public meeting of the inhabitant householders of this district, for the purpose of petitioning her Majesty in Council to grant us a Charter of Incorporation ; and we pledge ourselves to render every assistance in our power to the attainment of these desirable objects." The motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman, Mr. Craven, Mr. Willoughby, Mr. Bailiff, Mr. Appleby, Mr. Collins, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Mortimer, and Mr. Eastwood, were ap pointed as the committee, after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —One of the greatest impositions practised at the present day by shopkeepers, not only in London, but in every city and town throughout the Kingdom, is that of forging the property of another, and imposing on the public the counterfeit article with all the assurance of innocence.—We allude in the present instance to those admirable requisites for the toilet, the Macassar Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto, as prepared by the Messrs. Rowland, and which, from their merits and re putation, are the constant objects of fraudulent imita tion. The parties so counterfeiting concoct some trashy compounds resembling in appearance the preparations of Messrs. Rowland, and by adopting the very same names and copying the labels, bills, &c. &c. endeavour to pass them off as the " GENUINE ;" reckless of the injury which they will inevitably inflict on those who are de ceived into using them. We would therefore advise all patrons of Messrs. Rowlands' articles, to purchase only of :respectable venders—and particularly to observe the Caution in their advertisements which frequently appear in our paper. _ - - CONFUCIUS FORETOLD THE MESSIAH, B.C. 520. — According to a translation of the prophecy, Confucius evidently professed a firm belief in the Supreme God. He describes the terrestrial paradise--the fall of angels and of men—the appearance at that moment of mercy, and the Holy One in the west, to teach and save man kind. The Creator has implanted in all mankind an earnest longing for spiritual communion with the great Author of their being. Haggai, chap. ii. v. 7. Most p S So crates, of the Pagan philosophers , as well as C o nfucius, have some thought e it best to wait till something should co nie er expressed an anxiety to be enlightened by h om s onal revelation from God.

The Bell e i s l e proceeds from Ply mouth to the Mediterranean. Yesterday afternoon it came on to blow heavily from the southward, and continues very stormy. No da mage has yet occurred here, but it is reported that the brig Eliza Liddell, of Glasgow, with stone coal, from Swansea, for London, is now riding at Yealm in some danger, with both anchors down, and both masts cut away. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY. The Sidon steam frigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., went out to Spithead this morning, ready to embark the Earl Dalhousie,_ family, and suite, for Alexandria. Some sheets of copper on the bottom of the Ter rible steam-frigate being either rubbed or ruffled, it became necessary to replace them, and as they were situate several feet under water, she required to be docked. But no dock here is long enough to receive her, so they have laid her ashore on the starboard side of the creek at Clarence-yard, all her guns and stores being still aboard. It is true the bottom is soft mud, and she will only have to lie one tide, but it is still a very great risk with so large a vessel. She completely blocks up the passage. The Tartarus steam-vessel, Lieutenant Command ing Sir Godfrey Webster, arrived to-day from Wool wich. She is bound to the Mediterranean to be used as a packet. She is to call at Plymouth, and will take supernumeraries for the fleet. A sum of money has been remitted to this port by the company of proprietors of the Great Britain steam-ship, in liquidation of the claims of the riggers belonging to this dockyard and Plymouth who were employed in getting her off the shore in Dundrum bay, but as it was not equal to their legal allowance, and would not have divided more than 305. per man, a letter has been written to the company, stating what ought to be paid, and in the meantime the matter stands over for the present. The Birkenhead steam-vessel, Commander A. IL Ingram, was removed from the basin to-day. Mr. Henry Frederick M‘Killop, late mate of the Calliope, 26, on the New Zealand station, now in the Queen, 110, at Lisbon, w ho commanded a gun-boat and otherwise greatly distinguished himself in the operations against the New Zealanders, as expressed repeatedly in the dispatches of the senior officer on the station, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, his commission bearing date the 16th of October, 1847. By private letters received from her Majesty's ship Carysfort, 26, C a pt a i n S eymour, which arrived at Valparaiso on the 25th of August, last from Mazatlan, we find Rear-Admiral Sir George Sey mour had his flag flying on board the Cormorant steam-sloop, which was to be shifted on the next day to the Carysfort, and the Cormorant to sail imme diately for England, with a good freight on merchants' account. We are happy to state that Captain Sey mour, of the Carysfort, had quite recovered from his recent attack of illness. We have also l e tt ers f rom the Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Sir G. Seymour, to the 26th of August, stating that on the following day she was to sail, with Lady Sey mour and family on board, to join the Admiral at Chili. This letter, it will be perceived, does not tally with its predecessor. The Cormorant steam-sloop, Commander Seymour, sailed from Valparaiso for England (this we have by the latest advices) on the 28th of August, all well. The Undine steam yacht returned from Jersey this afternoon. Wind, IV.N.W., moderate breezes; weather fine. —Five P.M. CHATHAM, Nov. 9 —The Oberon steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander Gardner, was put out of dock on the Bth instant, and floated alongside the sheer hulk, and received on' board her gun-carriages and guns, consisting of two 32-pounders of 25 cwt. each, and one long 68, and a boat gun. She will take in her powder and shot in Gillingham, where she will arrive on the 10th instant, and then proceed to sea. The Meander, 44 guns, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, was taken alongside the sheer-hulk yester day, when her masts were put in their places. She was taken into dock this day. It is uncertain whether this ship will be rigged in dock, as the Hercules, 72 guns, has come up from Sheerness, to be fitted for sea. She is to take out stores to Bombay, and to bring home timber from India. Lieutenant C. R. Read, who commissioned this ship, is late of the Conway, and was promoted when in China in 1841. The Meander is to be employed in the expedition against the Sooloo pirates in the islands of the Indian Archipelago. Her boats are being built upon Lord John Hay's prin ciple. She is to have a launch, the keel of which is now laid down in this yard ; it is 45 feet in length, and it is to he fitted with high-pressure engines of four horse-power, and to carry two brass guns and a howitzer. This launch is for the purpose of proceed ing up the rivers and creeks, and towing up the boats, to enable the marines and blue jackets to get at the strongholds of pirates. The Castor, 36 guns, Captain C. Graham, arrived in this harbour on Sunday a ft ernoon l ast to be paid off. Several individuals who h a d f r i en d s and relations on board put off in boats and went alongside. Among them was a woman who had come f rom Lon d on to see her son. While sitting in the boat with a water man, a seaman fell from the main yard on to the woman with such force that her head was much in jured and her thigh broken. She was immediately conveyed to Melville Hospital. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. thaCrAeL;LS Newmarket,DUE THIS D 5 1. A Y. per— L sh o a w re e . st ft 3/. pershare; Midland Great W es t ern (Ireland), 501.

The Cape Mounted Rifles are l-C a‘fi‘ —tthe going to make a move on Thursday, followed up by the other troops, and it is considered that they will have hard work." The Cape Frontier Times, of August 24, says— " There is no intelligence of any moment from the front. Kafirland as well as the colony, has been deluged with rain. The detachments of the C. M. R., lately stationed in town, have proceeded to reinforce the forces at the various posts. There are strange rumours afloat ; one of these, which seems to have gained much belief, is to the effect that the Right Hon. the Governor has received peremptory orders from home to finish the war, whether the Kafirs are beaten or not." _ . The Kafirs, says a letter just received from Fort Beaufort, "are very restless—about 300 to 500 have located themselves between this and Block Drift, and Macomo, as their chief, is there, and has been for two nights in Fort Beaufort." From Philipton (Kat River) the Kafirs lately stole 30 head of cattle, which were re-captured by the people of the settle ment, and one of the marauders shot. The admiral, in his flag ship, had departed for Madagascar. • The Right Hon. Sir R.
