This Company is established with 1 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, &c. 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-opora tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages 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 aro 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 continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a !lying of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com pletion without a break. The harbour of Plarwieli 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 Cie llumber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Sw:n 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 11 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.

TEWKESBURY, TUESDAY. A public dinner was given here last night, followed by a presentation of plate, to Mr. H. Brown, lq.P. fer the borough, and a director of the Royal British Bank. The testimonial consisted of a handsome silver centre piece, valued at 250 guineas, and bearing the following inscription :—" Presented to Humphrey Brown, Esq., 11 0 l wn . P .sru,bayn. memberthe February tradesmen of eHouse3, and workinglBs7o f . 1, Commons l classes of Tewkes bury, in testimo n y o f th e i r regar d f or hi m as an inde pendentt3be sudlic subscribers. " ) a After the usual introdu c t or y toasts hind been given, The CHAIRMAN gave the health o f M r . B rown . dinner. and r a s . " Mr. Blizard, corn m e rch a nt, pres id e d at Mr. BROWN,in his reply, addressed himself to a defence of his conduct in reference to his connection with the Royal British Bank._ He complained of the slanders which had been heaped upon him by a portion of the press, and with reference to the statement that had gone forth to the world that he owed the bank a sum of 70,000/., said that the statement had been put forward by Mr. Coleman for the most dastardly purpose—that of creating in the mind of the public that he (Mr. Cole man) was the man to bring people to book. It was a disgrace to Mr. Coleman, and was a downright lie. The time must come when his transactions with the bank must be revealed, and at the fitting time he was ready and willing to reveal them. But when twitted with his dealings with the bank, he dared not reveal them without a breach of confi dence, which would have been disgraceful to him and ruinous to scores of others. (Hear.) As a director, he had trade a declaration in the nature of an oath not to divulge what had transpired in the bank chamber, the object being to prevent any director from revealing cir cumstances which would be detrimental to other people. Mr. Brown went on to make an explanation as to a sum of 41,0001. which bad been transferred to his debit on account of the expected insolvency of another party. He declared that a sum of 400/. hail been spent in the attempt to make him (Mr. Brown) a bankrupt, with the view of obtaining information from hitn ; bu the solicitor to the assignees, who was a very clever man, had found out the mare's nest, and that he really did not owe the money. It was now left to arbitration under an agreement of reference, the arbitra tor being a gentleman of high standing, who was to only to report with reference to the commercial, but also as to the moral character of his transactions with the bank. He defied any director of a joint-stock bank to know anything more of its affairs than the manager chose to let him ; and this remark applied with greater force to the bank with which he had been connected, which had 6,000 or 7,000 accounts and some 150 clerks employed in the establishment. It was im possible for a director to get further than the heads of each department. It was lamentable to see an establishment like that crushed as it had been ; and it was more lamentable to see the havoc and misery which the management of that establishment had caused. The bank had no doubt been very badly managed, and be reproached himself for having joined it. It ought to have ceased business when its insolvency became apparent ; but whether he was a director of the bank at that time or not, he was not going to tell them. After some further remarks on the affairs of the Royal British Bank, Mr. Brown addressed himself to political subjects, and expressed himself favourable to direct tax ation rather than to taxation through the customs and excise, which threw the burthen upon the poorer classes. A great number of persons, majority females, attended ;he presentation of plate later in the evening. THE DIVISION ON THJI INCOME TAX. (Front the Morning fferald.) The division of Monday evening exhibits a House of Commons in "a state of great confusion," to use the expressive language of the Press of Saturday last. It is added, "The majority on the Ministeri.d side is break ing up." This may be true, but then there is no greater solidity observable in the phalanx on the opposite benches.

Cholmondeley, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Moody, and Mr. Tullemache in a Minister ial majority is a token of the strength which Lord Palmerston has gained by his late Church appointments. If we bad a list of the absentees we should find more proofs of the same feeling. But now for the other side of the story. Besides the 171 Conservatives .who voted for Mr. Disraeli's motion, there were found in the same lobby the following sin gular conglomeration of parties :- 1. Peelitee, 10, viz. : W. Gladstone. Hon. A. Gordon. Sir J. Graham. Sir W. Heathcote. Sidney Herbert. 2. Manchester men, 18, viz. : T. Barnes. J. A. Roebuck. J. Crook. W. Williams. R. Cobden. J. Cheetham. J. Bell. T. M. Gibson. S. Laing. G.

Bowyer. J. F. Maguire. R. Swift. T. Meagher. T. Kennedy. Said not the Press very truly, " The Hones of Commons is in a state of great con fusion!' Assuredly this holds out no prospect of peace or pro longed power for the Government. But neither is it a favourable circumstance for the country at large. In such a dissolution of party ties as is here shown, or pre figured, there is no reasonable ground of hope of any kind. The Government must be rapidly growing weaker when 35 of its supporters suddenly desert their standard, and support a motion a hich is, substantially, a vote of want of confidence. But then there is little ground for felicitation on the otber side, when it is seen that 31 of the Conservatives quitted their leaders in a moment of emergency, and were only replaced by Mialle and M. ailhers, Bowyers and Roebucks, R. Swift, and R Cobden I Lord A. Hervey. Lord Jerniyn. R. Palmer. R. Phlllitnore. (.3-. Vernon. In fact, to adopt the well known bull, we may say, that in the vista before us "there is nothing clear but its obscurity." On the one hand, it is not easy to un derstood bow a Government so supported can stand ; but, on the other, it is equally difficult to see how a Go vernment se assailed is to be overturned.

THE LONDON AND HARWICH AND CONTINENTAL STEAM PACKET COMPANY.—The t xperimental trip which was made by the directors of this company with the view of organising the short line of route to Berlin, north of Europe, and Trieste via Vienna, was brought to a successful iss at 11 o'clock last night, by the arrival at Harwich, from Rotterdam, with passengers from Berlin, who left the Rrussian capital at 6 o'clock the preceding evening. The through journey from Berlin to London thus assomplished in little more than 30 hours, instead of oecupying (as per Dover and Ostend) upwards of 42. The Pays, Government paper, says that the comman der of the steam corvette Duch:kyle, which has just re turned from Naples to Toulon, has made a report to the Minister of Marine, in which he states that Naples was tranquil at his departure, and that the reports in the papers relative to the great agitation among the people were unfounded. The report has been communicated by the Minister of Marine to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. SPORTING NOTES. THE DERBY MEETING. The most important incident which marked the racing at Nottingham yesterday was the triumph of Mr. G. gather's cjlours. When St. Clair, admirably ridden by Fordham, was landed just past the post, the , injunction to "shout lads" was not disregarded, for "George" gave the fielders a good turn. Fordham Seems to retain his old luck, for he was twice successful, having ridden Apathy and St. Clair. The honours of the day were, however, shared with him by young Grimmer— a very promising light weight. Early Bird com pounded, after going a mile, and was evidently out of his distance. The fondness of his friends was undimi nished to the close, for at starting he was backed at 7 to 4. Altogether the "fielders" did not have a bad time of it, for only two out of the five races were won by favourites. Turfites will quit Nottingham to-night, in order to assist at the meeting at Derby to-morrow. Six events are appointed for decision, in addition to two Hurdle Races and a Steeplechase. The elements of excitement are not therefore likely to be wanting. Greenwich Fair, who gave another proof of her won drous turn of speed yesterday will doubtless carry off the Scarsdale Stakes.

GENERAL S T EAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—The 64 t h half-yearly meeting of the . sharehold;rs L in this b compa n y was h eld yesterday at their o ffi ce s , i , om ar - stre.it, in the chair. The report of the j dir h e i Cto Vt re li a lk n i d n' a E s 6 ta g tement of the accounts for the year ending the 31st December last were read to the meet ing. The report, which was very satisfactory, was unanimously received and adopted by the proprietors. The directors called the attention of the shareholders to the oboe xious and injurious effect of the Stade dues upon British vessels trading to Hs.inburgh, which, if allowed to prevail, will eventually be the means of causing the whole of the carrying trade between this company and Hamburgh to be confined to vessels sailing under tke Hamburgh flag ; inasmuch as the Stade dues—unlike the Danish Sound dues, which are equally levied upon vessels of all conntriev—are partially levied, goods carried under the Hamburgh flag not being subjected thereto, to the great prejudice of the vessels of all the countrie s trading trading to that port. The usual dividend cent. and a bonus were declared, and the cor dial thanks of the proprietors voted to the chairman a nd directors management for their continued zealous services in the m of the company's a ff airs, after which the meet ing ' !balks - ,k FOREIGN INTEL 1 4 PER t 4 :. f• ' '4e.._ 1-M" IV--arirte The following is the arti_ _ to in The Sun of yesterday :--i:LThe -- itlrf-Aie.isia tt difficulty i s t erm i nate d. Y ou abtaw thP one of the pretensions of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe which appeared exorbitant to Feruck Khan was that the First Minister of the Shah, the Sadrazam Mirza Aga Khan, should be dismissed. England has abandoned that pretension ; and the Sa.drazam will be maintained in his office and dignities. The second pretension. of England, and on which the English cabinet was pirticutarly tenacious, was that on resuming his post as British representa tive at Teheran, 'Mr. Murray should receive two visits from the Persian authorities before paying a visit in return. This demand, which it was difficult not impossible for the Shah to ac;- cede to, has also been given up. Mr. Murray is to be received with all the honours due to his rank, but the Persian government will not have to sub mit to concessions which would have lowered it in the eyes of the people. Persia has consented to receive English consuls in all the towns in which there are Russian consuls ; and she is to restore Herat, but in return for Bushire." The Presse, yesterday, indulges in the following speculations with reference to the policy of Eng land in the Fenian gulf : " Great Britain seeks to form out of the southern territory of Persia a state capable of holding Persia in check or of exercising a perpetual pressure on the Shah ; this state would be made over to the Inianna of Muscat, who is devoted to English interests. The English fleet would always impose on the Asiatic ally the slightest desire of the British Government and the Imauin Would, if 'necessary, transfer to his redoubtable protect Airs the ttrritory obtained through their powerful influence. These conclusions, drawn from positive facts, become even more evident if we consider the policy pur. sued . by England daring the last quarter of a century to. war ds the inhabitants of the coast of the Indian Sea, or if wry study her movements and attempts in Southern Asia. In 1837 and 1840 Ler policy was identical with her present one.; on the eve of her rupture with Persia she seized on Aden,rendered herself mistress of Affghanistan by means of Shah•Shoudjah, as she now endeavours to do with the assistance of Dost-Mahomme I, and sought, as to-day, a quarrel with the Ceiestial Empire. Should Russia not take an active part in the quarrel we may expect to see Persia yield to English influence ; she will sign another treaty under the empire of fear, and will evacuate Herat, unless that town, 'which is not probable, should be left to her in exchange for a portion of her coast. Bat in abandoning his conquest the Shah will not obtain the serious guarantee he sought in Affghanistan, which he desired to render independent unsler certain conditions, the most essential of which was obedience to the will of Persia." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterday received a letter by which. the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz an nounced to his Majesty the birth of a Princess, daughter of Duke George of Meckleuburg and the Duchess, Grand Duchess of Russia. The lebats contains the following reflections on the difficulties which appear to oppose the satisfac tory solution of the Neuchatel question : "The accounts received from Berlin and from Berne are still rather unfavourable to the speedy settle ment of the Neuchatel differences. We do not know the tract progress made in the direct or indirect negotiations of which it was question for some time, al wept supposing that these negotiations are being carried on, and that the task of deciding the question has not been definitively left to the Paris conferences. B►lt we are surprised at the reaction which has taken place in the sentiments of the two nations, and even in the dispositions of the two governments. At Berlin as in Berne the language •of peace and conciliation has given way to an accent of bitterness and irritation, which is reciprocal ; both parties are lavish in accusations and in recriminations, and have in. trenched themselves behind pretensions which are equally absolute and exclusive. We heard yesterday from Ber lin that the Prussian government would maintain its conditions, and would not depart from them ; the title of Prince of Neuchatel forms.one of these absolute con ditions. It was even stated at Berlin that Switzerland would not be admitted into the conference of Paris, and that the decisions taken by the great powers would simply be notified to her. On the other hand, if we are well informed, the Federal Council manifests the intention of pronouncing categorically against al most every condition laid down by the cabinet of Berlin, and especially against that which has for object to pre serve for the King of Prussia the title of Prince of Neu chatel. If therefore we are to trust report, the chances of a conciliation have rather diminished than increased since the commencement of negotiations. How are we to explain this reaction I Are we to suppose that both parties have repented the concessions or promises they have made ? We point out these unfortunate symp toms; which appear to gain daily in import ance, but we do not cease to believe in the solu tion which is desirable in the interests of the two na tiona as in that of European peace. We reckon on .he good sentiments of the two nations, and con fide equally in the wisdom and impartiality of the con ference which is charged with the regulation of the differences, and with the re-establishment of a good accord between the two countries."

The following document has been addressed by the Neapolitan army to their King : " To THE MAJESTY OF THE KING FERDINAND IL " Sire,—For many years your Majesty basil z » rience of the devotion and fidelity of your araay and o its willingness to shed its blood for tne defence of the Throne a .c 1 the Monarchy when there has been occasion for it. Wherefore, now that the future is so dark and dangerous, will your Majesty permit us to raise our voice and explain our desires ? "Your Majesty obliged us to swear to the Constitution in 1848, and desired that we should combat the exagge rated demands of some persons, from which the total diss,lution of the State might have ensued ; and the army co-operated with you with zeal and courage, be cause your Majesty protested always that in so doing there was no intention to abolish the statute by you spontaneously conceded, and it was believed/ that it might be consistently with honour and good conscience. But now eight long years have elapsed, and all is tranquil in the kingdom, and nothing prevents your Majesty from finally giving new life and vigour to the Constitution already granted and sworn to. This is the desire more or less concealed of us all, now that the army has at length acquired a kno sledge of itself. "Let your Majesty consider what Europe must say of us, that when another Italian army has covered itself with so much glory, we are only kept in guard over our brethren, who in every point desire what we desire, that which brings general prosperity, and hence alsa the pros perity of our families. Now that cries are uttered every where in•behalf of this unfortunate people must we point at their breasts our bayonets and our swords; and can such a state of things long continue ? Your Majesty will certainly provide, according to reason and prudence, for the future ; this, we repeat it, is •the desire of the whole army, whi c h w i s h es t o p rese rve its honour and its conscience, but does not think it can tio so so . long as your Majesty refuses to satisfy the common d esire.
