Offices of the Company - 44, Moorgate-street City, E.C. This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports,of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, sec. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigatio" and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced sf the adiantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the cintinent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line front Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of The Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swill and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to ll hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as Per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication. • TIME PER SOUTII-EASTERN TIME PER EASTERN C9UNTIES RAILWAY.

It is intended, in the first instance, to confine the opera tions of this Company to the direct communication from London, via Harwich, to Rotterdam. This Company will have swift and commodious packets, and its management will be carried out with the utmost care, go as to secure expedition, safety, and comfort, and the di rectors submit that the traffic cannot fail to realise a hand aome dividend to the shareholders.

This Company is forme.l for the purpose of supplying a source whence the occupiers of land can at all times obtain a supply of those articles perfectly pure and unadulterated, of which the requirements of modern improvement are con stantly increasing the demand ; and also for the purpose of establishing a commodious depot, where agricultural imple ments of every description, by all the best makers, can at all times be inspected and purchased. The Company will import and supply at fair and reasonable prices genuine manures of all kinds, seeds, oileake, and all other articles used in the feeding of live stock, and for agri cultural purposes generally. The Directors have been appointed sole consignees for the sale of the Javel guano, both in the United Kingdom Red the Colonies. This right has been secured by contract, for a term of 21 years, with the Javel Manure Company in France. The qualities of this manure are such as to have raised the de mand in France to so great a magnitude as to afford reason able expectation of its general adoption in this country, where, in every instance in which it has been tried, it has given unqualified satisfaction. This manure, manufactured by a patent process, from the contents of the cesspools and blood of the slaughter-houses (abbatoirs) of Paris, cembines within itself all the good quali ties of every description of manure, and will be supplied at about one half the cost of Peruvian guano (which it fully equals), with a guarantee that each parcel contains a certain amount of fertilising ingredients. There can be no doubt of the remunerative result of the operations of this Company, every branch thereof affording sources of large prdfits. The only establishment of a like nature in the United Kingdom, the Aberdeen Commercial Company, conducted on similar principles, has stood the test of many years as to its usefulness, and yielded large returns to its shareholders for their investwents, the 201. shares be ing now worth 1201. Applications for Shares may be made at the offices of the Company, or to the broker or solicitors ; from whom full prospectuses, testimonials, andany other information can be obtained. All applications for Shares must be accompanied by a pay ment of ss. per share to the bankers, broker, solicitors, or at the offices of the Company. In the event f less than the whole number applied for being allotted, the amount paid in excess will be appropriated towards the remaining pay ment of 158, per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount paid will be immediately returned in full: FORM OP APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Having dismissed the favourites in my two preceding communications, only the outsiders now demand con sidsraticn. Lady Hawthorne made her first appearance at York with a high reputation, wbich she fully sustained. She there defeated Blink Bonny and Augury, but the betting indicates. that her achievement was not deemed a trustworthy test of the Comparative merit of her and the pre - sent reigning Derby favourite. Lady Hawthorne is a fine, strapping mare, with good action and much speed. A question, however, as to the possibility of her standing training has been started, and perhaps not withoutjust cause. Herforelep seemed to be anything but satisfactory ; she may, nevertheless, have grown out of any weakness which then prevailed. Should she keep firm, and be sent to the post in good condition, she will prove a dangerous antagonist to Blink Bonny. By the way, the favourite has within the last few days been somewhat unsteady in the market., and some persons assert, from recent observation, that she has neither grown nor thickened since last autumn. Anton will doubtless be a starter. Ha is alight flashy horse, and his performances are not sufficiently promising to induce me to entertain any expectations of his chance. Sprig of Shillelagh was once loudly talked about, and it was stated with confidence that be Would one day "do a good thing." When, I am incapable of deter mining ; of this, however, I feel certain, the good thing which be will do will not be on the Derby day, Glentnasson has fine looks and the prestige of two successes to recommend him. His achievements were certainly not of a very high order of excellence, still they were sufficient to show that he possessed much racing merit, which time would in all probability fully develope. His trainer is very " fond" of him, and his partiality is shared to a great extent by the horse's backers. Sam Rogers has, it is•sta~ed, already received a retaining fee to ride Glenmasson for the Derby. Ackworth is a dark horse, in William Day's stables. Report speaks most favourably of the horse's appearance and style of going. Kent is another "darkie;" and in well-informed quarters it is believed that he will one day occupy a very prominent position in the betting. Henry VIII. won a Selling Race at the Bibury Club Meeting, and has not since shown in public. He has been backed by his noble owner, but unless there be more in the hcrse than has yet met the eye, I shall not indulge in a Derby-day dream of his success. /72 J . _,."7 - 3-:::7 -4— '7: - - -- l t 77\ cirk [ fralral add Military Intalligenea... k :,. -- - i - - - ji .ffefk -- - k . ,-Y?ws%l.vate:- , His Royal Hi g h ness th e G enera l Commanding-44 01ikes'f'Y'Tenrje.y .

A return has b een f orwar d e d t o the War Departettr ;-',-, ' from th e commanding of fi cers of corps at Chatham i, ; garrison, specifying the number of men in their r4I a S spective regiments who will complete their period of 10 years' service in the present year, and also in next. Similar returns have also been prepared of the number . of non - commissioned officers and men who will have completed 21 years' service in the same years. It is the intention of the authorities to discharge thc se men belonging to the corps of Royal Engineers at Chat ham who are of bad character, and with this view a return • has been ordered of the names of all those men belongirg to that corps whose character is of such a description, in order that they may receiv e th e i r di scharge forthwith. • The Government ha virg decided on the erection of a large prison at Norfolk Island for the reception of con victs under sentence of transportation, an order has been forwarded from the War-office to Col. H. Sandham, di rector of the Royal Engineers establishment, at Bromp ton Barracks, Chatham, directing him to bold in readi ness one compasy of that corps, with a proportion of officers and non-commissioned officers, to embark forth with for Norfolk Island, for the purpose of assisting in the erection of the convict establishment at that station. A. course of lectures has been arranged to be delivered to the troops at Chatham garrison during the remaining winter season by several officers and gentlemen of the neighbourhood. The first lecture of the course was deli vered on Friday evening last, and the experiment of pro viding this kind of entertainment for the soldiers of the garrison was attended with complete success, the lecture being well attended not only by the troops, but also by many of the officer-. The subject of the next lecture is, " Great Battles and Great Victories." which will be delivered on Friday evening next by the Rev. J. Davis, • of Rochester, to be followed by one on the bteam.engme by Lieut. alker, R.E. The Industry steam store-ship arrived at Portsmouth on Sunday from the Thames, with machinery for the Dadem, &c. The Buffalo steam-vessel arrived at Spithead on Sun day from the westward, and sailed in the evening for the Thames, Adamas is a little game horse, but not " class enough" for a Derby. The other outsiders do not require notice. On a careful review of the performances of the different animals, I hate arrived at the conviction that the most trustworthy Derby horses at present are—THE BEST o Mr. HOWARD'S (perhaps Goldfinch), Tournament, Saunterer, Gienmasson, and Sydney. The ardour of the Mincepie supporters for the Chester Cup seems to have cooled down. Leamington still hold , his ground. I may take some credit to myself on the correctness of my judgment, for those horses which I indicated in my notes of Tuesday lat as being well in occupy the foremost place in the betting. My opinions, in fact, have been endorsed by the public. The police were "down upon" the West-end betting offices last week, and their interference has spread quite a panic among the proprietors Of those houses. To attempt to stein the current of sp.'culation which will soo❑ set in in all directions will be as vain as good Mrs. Partington's efforts to stop an inundation of the sea with a mop. A certain portion of the public wit/ specu late upon horse racing, and will adopt many expedients to carry out their purpose in full security. Jan. 26. A FRESH MAN. A very unpleasant occurrence took place yesterday at Portsmouth. A man who has only been 195 days in the Royal Marine Artillery Corps, had been confined several times for bad conduct, incurred a debt of Bs. for slops be had "taken up"; this sum the captain of his company said should be put against his account on the books of the corps, whereupon the man used an insulting expression, and said he would do no more soldiering until he was paid ; this led to a court-martial last Friday, which adjuged him to receive 50 lashes yesterday. On his being taken towards the place of punishment under escort he broke away from his guards and rushed upon Colonel Parke (the commandant of the corps) as he was stooping to pick up a paper he had dropped, and gave him a tremendous blow in the face, knocking him to the ground and cutting him in the face very severely. The man was speedily overpowered and led to the halberds, where the 50 lashes were inflicted. He will now be tried for striking the Colonel, which will be rather a wore serious affair than the flogging. The paddle-wheel steam-vessel Sprightly, tender to the Victory, in charge of Master-Commander Allen, arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth on Saturday, bringing a number of supernumerary seamen, who were yesterday morning distributed on board the gun-boats Hunter, Handy, Garnet, and Fenella for conveyance to Portsmouth. The Hunter is commanded by Second- Master Sallenger, the Handy by Second-Master Witts, the Garnet by Second-Master Follett, and the Fenella by Second-Master Moore. They are manned wi,ch a crew of 28 men each. The Dee, steam store-ship, Master-Commander J. Pullen, left, the harbour this morning for Portsmouth with a full cargo cf boilers and machinery for vessels fitting . out at that port. She has on board three boilers, each of the immense weight of 28 tons, for the Algiers. The gun-boats Hunter, Handy, Fenella, and Garnet, having been fully prepared for sea, steamed down leas river this day for Greenhithe, and will be conveyed to Portsmouth by the Dee to be laid up in ordinary. 4 The iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel Princess Alice (tender to the St. Jean d'Acre) left Woolwich yesterday morning in charge of Captain Smithett and a crew of the Royal Mai:-packet Company's servicemen for Dover, having been gratuitously placed at the disposal of the company for service between Dover and Calais. The Dreadnought, hospital-ship for seamen of all nations, having been completely prepared for removal, was towed out of the harbour at 12 o'clock this day by the steam-vessels Monkey, Widgeon, and a private steam-tug, and conveyed to Greenwich, where she was safely moored in the river, alongside the old Dread nought, which is unfit for further service. The arrange ments far the removal of the huge vessel were carried out in an excellent manner by Mr. Macdonald, master-at arms, and Mr. Peake, assistant master shipwright in the establishment, and she was piloted up the river by Mr. Stewart. The patients from the old Dreadnought will be removed to the new vessel in a few days, and now that the two vessels are in close proximity to each other, the superiority of the new hospital is strikingly apparent. Some time since it was determined to present a life boat to the Chilian Government, as an acknowledgment of services rendered to the crew of a British vessel in dis tress. Mr. Peake assistant master shipwright at this establishment, prepared a plan for the construction of a We-boat on a very improved principle, and this vessel having been completed, arrived here this afternoon from the premises of the contractors. She will be subjected to rials, mid, if approved, forwarded to her destination.

A number of Russian and other guns, loaded for action in the Crimea, and brought home in that state, have been ordered to be dischar,4e 1. These guns, amounting to ibout 300, and va r yi ng i n ca lib re , are being fired at the proof butt in Woolwich Ai senal, averaging from 10 to 15 daily. _ A. new kind of pumping and fire engine, made under the direction of tiles-rs. Rennie and Son, having been ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty for the use of the dockyard, Woolwich, was yesterday subjected to a first trial under the inspection of Mr. Atherton, superintend ing engineer of the yard, assisted by Mr. Tapiing and , ether tnernhers of the department. The principal object for which the new engine is about to be purchased is for draining the cai ,, ous at the mouth of the basins, as well to use in case of fire. The peculiarity of the engine is its very small dimension. The system is that of the disc, and the engine drives a pump at the average rate of about 300 revolutions per minute. The diameter of the engine itself is only 13 in ; its height, together with the framework and carriage, is Ott., and 61t. in length, the whole of which, together with the boiler, weighs only i,wo tons. The pump wrs driven at the rate of from 300 to 400 strokes per minute, and answered the expectations formed as to its capability admirably. The facility of transporting the engine while under the action of per forming its ordinary revolutions renders it available in i.ny spot required without stopping the machinery. It was estimated that the column of water Projected during the trial to the height of from 120 to 13 feet was at the rate of 30 tons per hour. The power of Vie engine has been tested with a friction break, and proved to be that of about six horses. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. NOTICE OF DIVIDEND.

Some time ago we mentioned that the Income•tax Commissioners at Shields bad refused to allow insur ance upon shipping on the mutual principle as de duction from income, while they permitted insurance by policy to be taken from the ship's earnings untaxed. A lengthened correspondence has taken place between the North Shields Shipowners' Society and the Board of Inland Revenue on the subject, and on Saturday Messrs. Lietch and Itewney, the solicitors to the society, received the following letter, which settled the point : " Inland Revenue, Somerset-house, Jan. 22. " Gentlemen—l have laid before the Board of Inland Revenue your letter of the 27th ult., referring to the correQpondence which has passed between this office and Mr. Pow, chairman of the Shipowners' Society, at North Shields, in regard to the deduction claimed lsy the shipowners in estimating their profit for assess ment to the income tax of the sums paid by them under the circumstances explained in your letter as against the perils of the sea. In reply I have to state that, upon a reconßideration of the subject, the Board are of opinion that, although the insurance in question and the pafinents consequent were not male in the ordinary way, yet inasmuch as such payments were in discharge of a legal obligation, whereby the parties are protected from loss of their own ships, a deduction should be allowed of the average amount paid in the three years over which the profits are averaged. The Board have accordingly made a communication to this effect to the commissioners of the district, and also to the surveyor.—Lane, gentlemen, your obedient servant, THOMAS KEOGH."

OMNIBUSES V. RAILWAYS. —The Manchester City Omnibus Company started a line of eight omnibuses be tween that city and Stockport yesterday, to run daily, in competition with the London and North-Western Railw a y. Th e specu l at i on h as b een under consideration before, but the immediate cause of the present under taking i s an a t tempt m ad e t hi s year by th e railway com pany to compel the holders of contract tickets to get into and leave th e carriages on l y a t th e t e rmini specified in the contracts. Hitherto a contractor paying the whole distance between the two towns held hiinself at liberty to get up or down at any intermediate stopping station. The omnibuses are handsome, spacious, and comfortable, the inside being equal to most first-class railway accommodation, while the fare is only two-thirds, outside !v charge uya] ey lasr e cbs is ; railway, the o mni b us fare inside bein g 6d. f or six m iles, whilst t first cl ass , i s 9d.

The omni. buses are drawn by three horses abreast, but it is probable that if the loads are heavy four horses will be used, as in the old coaches. VISIT TO THE TYN4: (From a Correspondent of the Dai dy `News.) On Sunday• last, being at`Wareham, in ',Dorsetshire, I drove through the island of Purbeck, to see the stranded Tyne. After passing several miles along the Swanage road I turned off towards Encombe, the seat of Lord Eldon. The hills are of great height here, and grimed curiously together. Two of the ravines formed between them are of right angles to each other. The road to Encombe is through these ravines, and runs in a zigzag direction. As we approach the mansion towards the sea the ravine widens and forms a narrow vale, which is about 100 feet above the sea. The road terminates at an abrupt precipice of the height just mentioned, and iron rails are placed to prevent persons from falling over the precipice. At the distance of half a mile from the termination of the road, in the centre of Kimmeridge Bay, lies the finest steamer of the West Indian Company, aground and waterlogged. G.“.• I arrived about one o'clock in the afternoon. The wind was blowing strong off the land, and it was low water. It almost appeared as if she had been only brought into the bay at high water, and as if the tide had left her 'there, and she would float again as soon as the tide rose, and be ready to proceed to sea. Thdre was no rock'close to her,• and the ledge on which she struck was, invisible. Her head was pointed out to sea, her stern was rather low in the water compared with her bow, and she'rather lurched en one side. Just as 'I arrived atlKinimeridge Bay a small tug steamer was seen leaving the Tyne to proceed to South ampton; several beats also left the Tyne for the shore filled with people, and the gigantic steamer was abandoned. The Tyne struck on a jagged ledge, which tore a hole in her stern big enough for •fouviusat‘to.v,rawl•in..... There is about 3 feet of water under her starboard paddle-wheel, and 5 feet under her bow. About 100 feet of her keel for ward does not touch the ground. She evidently struck in the centre, for she was going in direct towards the cliffs when she struck, and after all attempts to wear her round had failed got into the position she is in now in an extra ordinary manner; for without any apparent cause she turned round rapidly, as if she had been on a pivot. If she is ever floated again, she will have to be dragged astern towards the land, to get her off the ledge on which she rests, and then she must be piloted through an intricate • channel. some scores of men commenced working a large numberof pumps on board of her at 2 o'clock on Sunday morning; and when it was found that'at ebb tide the water flowed into her as fast as it was pumped out, her being got off wen despaired of. Early in the morning the pumping ceased, and it was resolved to abandon her for the present. A couple of young officers, with one or two men, were left on board, and they together with some fishermen have the sole charge of her. If she is ever got off it will be probably by lifting her bodily, waterlogged as she is, by means of balks of timber or some other buoyant material fastened by a chain round her keel, and in that state the ship and the materials that float her must be towed up to Southampton. It is not likely, however, that any plan will be attempted until the summer. The Tyne being of iron, very strongly built, waterlogged and fastened down by immense anchors and chains, would hang together for years where she is now. The coast where the mail steamer lies is all along formed of cliffs from 500 to 700 feet high. Sometimes the faces of these cliffs are perpendicular, and of a black colour, which l is the case with those near the Tyne. Sometimes they slope away, and they are green with verdure. The cliffs are constantly crumbling away, and small particles or gigantic'. boulders aro continually rolling down on the beach. Springs of water at short intervals also run down the faces of the cliffs, and mixing with the softer and smaller particles form bogs of black mud close under the cliffs. The beach generally is formed of gravel, gigantic pebbles, or small rocks. Chapman's Cove, not far from where the steamer is aground, is strewed with these rocks, and it is fortunate that the Tyne did not come in there, or the ship would have probably been knocked to pieces, and every soul on board of her lost. Between St. Aldan's Head and Weymouth the distance is about 14 miles. The cliffs between these two places pro ject out at intervals and form bays. St. aLldan's Head and the first projection to the west of it towards Weymouth from Kimmeridge Bay ; and in the centre of this bay, as I have already observed, the Tyno is lying. The Isle of Portland, which lies directly off Weymouth, is distinctly visible from thebay, and appears to be a very short distance from it. The' Isle of Portland stretches a good distance into the Channel, while Kimmeridge lies in shore, to the north east of it. The Tyne was about eight miles outside Port land when the Portland lights were made out at 1 a.m. on the 12th inst. ; and at 3.30 aim. the steamer was entering Kimmeridge Bay with her bow pointing for the cliffs. Now the most mysterious thing is how she could get there, unless she was steered direct for the land after the Portland lights were seen. Just before the ship struck the officer at the wheel, to his horror, faintly made out thefearful black cliffs overhanging the bay ; and his cry of " hard a port" as tonished the captain, who thought at first that a vessel was crossing before the ship's coarse. none n T in y g o n f o e ft enterht and St. was weresto.ou f t oy Aldan'sg gy there H o e n the a saw atw m h att h o e r h e o 012 a the s th t .g a K bu t :yr,. i m s ma r n ne e nd r iitl whohgao howling of the wind and the raging of the sea drowned every noise on board her that might have been heard on shore in still weather. The first intimation the coast guardsmen had of the Tyne being in the bay was given by the rocket sig nals of distress that wore fired from her. The light of these fearful messengers at the moment of their discharge showed the coast-guardsmen that a large ship was close at hand, and in dangerous quarters. They immediately fired off pistols, threw up rockets, and ran to the houses of their messmates who were off duty, and at 7 a.m. the seamen had pulled through the raging surf, boarded the steamer, and satisfied all on board that with patience and care their Ives would all be saved. For twelve hours these men were hard at work saving the lives and property on board the ship, and never left off until all the passengers and crew had been landed. The boats were often swamped ; one of their number lost his life, and they repeatedly had to assist the ship's boats to prevent their destruction. The lot of these poor men is a peculiarly hard one. Many of them live on the top of St. Aldan's Head, in a remote and almost inaccessible place. They have 50 7 . a year to live upon. Most of them have night duties, during which they are out from sunset to sunrise, climbing up and down the most dangerous cliffs in the dark, and often having dread ful weather. A clergyman occasionally visits them from Worth, a small isolated village two miles off. These men have to pay 40s. a ton for coals, in one of the bleakest places in England ; and they actually have to send, at their own expense, for their monthly pay to Poole, which is 14 miles off. Their dwellings aro almost at the edge of the perpendicular cliff called St. Aldan's Head, which is 640 feet above the sea. There is no fence around the cliff, and once, about 16 years ago, a little child fell over, and was dashed to pieces. There are no pumps provided for the use of these poor men and their families, and they are obliged to drink rain water. They cannot afford the slightest comfort or stimu lant to support them in their trying and laborious duties. They have to send a distance of seven miles for a doctor in case of sickness. The most valuable portion of the mails, and the boxes of diamonds and gold, were landed in the greatest confusion at Chapman's Cove, and had to be carried over steep cliffs a distance of two miles, to Encombe, by the coast-guards men, but not a single box or bag was lost. About 180 tons of machinery has been got out of the Tyne, but there are a hundred tone of coals on board of her, which cannot be got at. Prom St. Aldan's Head the ship appears as though she were at anchor in the bay, and could proceed to sea if the steam were up. Her keel, it has been discovered, is twisted ; and some are of opinion that, although only the large hole in the stern has been discovered by the divers, yet the jagged teeth of the rocks have ented her bottom, and that, if she were dragged away from the rocks, she would sink directly. Officers and on board her ever men e ha s v h e e b s e t e r n ac l k iv , in a g ud and du sl r e in ei g in s g ome days and nights they could have no communication with the shore, in consequence of bad weather. It is the opinion of the coast.guardsmen that no one ought to re main on board of her at night. It was precisely 3.40 a.m. when the ship struck. Num bers of persons on board were thrown out of their bed. The passengers, ladies and gentlemen, ran on deck in their night clothes, and for the moment there was great con fusion, but the captain commanded order, and every officer and man was at the duty assigned him in such an emer gency. Directly she struck her boilers were lifted, water rushed into the ship, and the engines were useless. The Tyne was such a splendid sea-boat that she scarcely ever shipped a sea, and she was able to carry the largest cargo of any of the Royal Mail Packet Company's steamers. It is expected that the Board of Trade inquiry into her loss will commence immediately at Southampton. This inquiry is looked forward to with the greatest interest. THE LATE RUSSIAN PRISONERS,-Mr. H. Rautenfield, late secretary to her Majesty's war prison, writes to the Sussex Express :—" Sir,--A. few days ago I had the plea sure of receiving a letter from Mr. Okerman, dated Abo, Finland, in which he wishes me to make known his best thanks and greetings added to those of his comrades in captivity, to all their friends in Lewes and its vicinity, in whose families they so continually met with the kind liest hospitality. Mr. Okerman tells me that he bas seen nearly all his compatriots who had been with him in Lewes, and that each one speaks with th e m ost grateful recollection of their sojourn in England. As for himself, I may quote the following passage from his letter : When in the dusk of the evening I am sitting near the fireside, surrounded by m y family, to whom, thanks to Providence, I au) res tored, I often relate to them m y life among my Englis h frien ds, and the exertions t he y made to alleviate the irkso meness of my captivity and separation from them. I trust they will remember me as an honest man ; on my part, I feel happy in speaking of them."! RAILWAY IIVTFLLIGEIVCE. RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.

In the account of the opening of this line for traffic which appeared in The Sun of yesterday it was stated that the line had been completed, within the engineer's estimate of 8,0001. per mile. Mr. .1. Samuel, the engi neer states that the cost of the line, including land, works, stations, permanent way, sidings, law, engineer ing, and Parliamentary expenses, the electric telegraph, and, in fact, every item from its commencement to its opening for traffic, has not exceeded, 6,11001. per mile. Considering that the line, which is seven miles in long* embraces 180,000 cubic yards of excavations, two over and four under road bridges, two parish road bridges, nine river bridges, one of which, over the river Tony, is of 150 feet clear span, and that all the bridges are either of wrought iron, cast iron, or masonry, and that the peik manent way is laid iu a substantial manner, with rails of 701 b. to the yard, he thinks it must be admit`ed to be one of the cheapest lines ever made in this country. With regard to the Vale of Towy line, which will con nect LlandiloLlandovery, and form the first link in the main line from Manclie,,ter to Milford, he states that the works on it are now in an advanced state, and will be completed for less than 5,500/. per mile.

If, however, the addition which she now supplies is true—and there is no rsa-ion at present to disbelieve it--the villany of her husband seem.; to be of a deeper dye than the dreadful offence of cutting the throats of his poor infant children had male it. Mrs. Bacon now says that it was after destroying the lite of the younger child that her husband attacked her ; and not only attempted to cut her throat, but inflicted neve ral scars on it. She repeats that she got hold of him by the wrist of the right hand, in which he held the knife, with both her hands, and thus prevented him from reach iug her throat. She further states that, as soon as her husband could release himself from her held, be drew a rope from his pocket and threw it round her neck, endeavouring to prevent her making a noise, and forcing her on the bed rushed out of the room. In confirmation of her assertion on this point it is a positive fact that, when taken to Horsernonger-lane Gaol on the Tuesday evening (the following day) the matron of that prison distinctly noticed a livid mark round the neck such as would be produced by a rope or some hard ligature tied tightly round it, and it struck her to be of so singular a character as to induce her to call the attention of the prison surgeon to it. The first day of his confinement in Horsemonger-lane Gaol Bacon appeared in so frantic and dejected a state of mind that his fellow-prisoners were under the strong impression that he intended to make a confession, but the next day he became more composed, and has since gained much confidence. He takes much pains to impress on all those about him that ,he is innocent of the charge alleged against' him by his wife, and expresses a strong hope and expectation that at the next examination he will be set at liberty. The wish expressed by Mr. Elliott, at the last examination of the prisoners, of Laving the body of Mrs. Bacon, sen., exhumed, that it might be submitted to a thorough medical and surical examination, was forwarded to the authorities at Stain ford, but a difficulty appeared to present itself in carrying out the magistrate's wishes in the matter. Mrs. Bacon appears to have been interred in the parish church of Great Casterton, Rntlandshire, and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the authorities at Samford. No positive information had yest .rdity reached Inspector Young or the magistrate, Mr. Elliott, on the subject but should any serious dillitsulty present itself it is in • tended At once to apply to the Secretary of State for the Home Department for an order for the immediate ex humation and examination of the body. In a paragraph which appeared on this subject in this paper on Friday last, it was stated that, five days before the illness of his mother, and which illness terminated in her death in seven days, Bacon had purchased an ounce of arsenic . at the shop of Mr. Patterson, a druggist in the town of Stamford. In the Stamford Mercury of last Friday's I date will be found the following confirmation of that fact : "It has been clearly ascertained that, a few days before his mother's death, Bacon purchased half an o unce of arsenic at the shop of Mr. Patterson, drug ! gist, of Red Lion-square. He 'had previously made attempts to procure arsenic on pretence that he wanted it in his trade, but was unable to do so. When he applied to Mr. Patterson he was told that poison could not be sold without a witness. He then went out, and ' as Mr. Will'atn Clifton, plumber, was passing, he (galled him in. The arsenic was therefore delivered to him, and an entry of the fact was made in Mr. Patterson's book, which was signed by Bacon and attested by Mr. Clifton. That was on the Bth of May, 1355. On Sunday, the 13th, Bacon's mother dined with him. On her return home she was taken ill, and on the Tuesday following she died. No suspicion as to the real cause of her death was entertained at the time, but it is said that subse quently Bacon's wife, during her insanity, let fall ob servations which gave rise to the accusation. The full confirmation of the recent news from China imparted additional firmness to the tea market yesterday morning, and several thousand chests were disposed of at is. lid. and Is, lid., at which latter quotation there were ultimately sellers. A good inquiry prevailed for other descriptions, and higher prices were offered, but holders were indisposed to realise. TATTERSALL'S—AIormIy. The room wa3 somewhat thinly attended, and busi ness ruled extremely dull. Aithou;h the investments were not remarkably heavy, yet certain movements of importance were made. . _ CHESTER Cur.—When the weights were first pub lished Mincepie was supported with considerable spirit. A reaction, however, set in against her at the end of last week, and to-day 20 to 1 was offered, and no attempt •was made to arrest her downward tendency. Leamim4 ton was nominally at 100 to 7. but no transaction about him came under nor notice. Schiedam was in good de mand. In the City during the unerring he had been backed for some money ; early in the afternoon 40 to 1 was laid, but at the elm' of business he was advanced to 1,000 to 30. _ _ _ Two THOUSAND. —Schiedam was in request for this event also, and was made first favourite. At first 600 to 100 was taken about him, but ultitn;,tely a I r,od sum was invested in his favour at 5 to 1 ; 600 to 100 eac , against Schiedam and Vedette wa; laid in one bet. 11 to 2 was wanted about Loyola. 750 to 100 was the last bet hooked about Sydney. THE DERBY.—The retrogression of Rink Bonny to 13 to 1, offered, was the most important incident. Kent was advanced to 40 to 1, and a fresh " outsider," called Sweet William, was introduced with some force at 1,000 b 15. The Liverpool Steeplechase was not mentioned. CLOSING PRICES.

Tu WIMT-END BETTING HOUSES.—We understand that in consequence of the breaking in of the police into the office of Mr. Thorpe, and the taking into custody of his clerks, as well as all persons —even those who " merely looked in from c'iriosity"—who were in the place at the time, together with the seizure of the lodgers, the proprietors of similar establishments have taken the alarm, and not a single office was open. It is said the authorities have received instractions to act vigorously in the matter, and, as we have no doubt their exertions will be successful, the extirpation of the abuse will be effected.—Bas THE FORTHCOMING PAYMENT OF ANOTHER DIVIDEND. It will be recollected that on the former occasion when a dividend was declared and paid at the South Sea House, a complaint was made that the arrangements were inadequate—that creditors were only admitted a few at a time, and hundreds were exposed for several, hours to the inclemency of the weat h e r . Thes e precau tions were taken by Mr. James Johnstone, jun., the mess enger, who was afraid that improper characters might be admitted it the thousands of depositors were f allowed to make a " ru g ' ," p articularly as it was gene . h r oterpa e etr w l ys a u s c h a 100,10a0r:4 e and cl amorous 01, upon be attended t o b y the the pre armiens assembly lnyaonewdo,nu could d t that t o t further,p h clerks who were p resent.

AN ASSESSOR OMITTING TO TAX HIMSELF.—Mr. Thomas Hopkins, farmer, of Hawbridge, was summoned before the Venerable Archdeacon Timbrill and other county magistrates, at Tewkesbury, on the 15th inst., charged, on the information of Mr. Sells, surveyor of taxes for this district, with making a false return of articles kept by him chargeable with assessed taxes. Mr. Sells said Mr. Hopkins had neglected to assess him self for two horses and a spring cart. Mr. Hopkins, who is the assessor of taxes for the parish of Tirley, had made a return of one horse and one dog, but he found he had two horses and a spring cart, of which he, had made no return. Mr. Sells remarked that it was a very serious offence, 'for on, Mr. Hopkins commencing his duties as an assessor, be had taken an oath that he had duly assessed all parties liable, and, after making the assessment, had sworn to having made a true return ; but Government only prosecuted for the penalty to which he was liable—namely, 201. Mr. Sells then called Metiers. Richard Ruck and Benjamin Ball, who clearly proved the case against the defendant. Mr. Hopkins pleaded that if he had rendered himself liable to the penalty it was not intentional on his part, but through inadvertence. The chairman said the magistramagistra tes felt that they should not be doing their duty if they mitigated the penalty to less 101., and 21. is. 6d. costs,Cheßen. 'tam Journal.
