The shareholders in this Company are aware, from the course which was adopted at the general meetings, held in November and December last, of the strong dissatisfaction entertained by an in fluential body of their brother shareholders with the proceedings of the Directors, both as regards the proposed amalgamation with the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton line, and the proposed sale of the two undertakings conjointly to the Great Western Company. At both meetings distinct notice was given, in the most formal manner, that these questions would be submitted for the re-consi deration of the proprietors, so soon as those then entitled to hold the shares were enabled, by obtainin,g•the transfer and symbol of their property, to give their votes upon subjects of such vital importance to the shareholders. . ...„ ..... Upon general principles the dissenting shareholders are opposed to anything that would bear the character of repudiation ; but the un precented circumstances connected with this case (amongst which the following are most prominent) fully warrant them in the course they have adopted. '1 he non-issue of the certificates for the shares for upwards of four months, the consequent impossibility of obtaining legal transfers ; the admission by the Chairman himself of the fact of a refusal to re gister transfers ; the extraordinary circumstance that before the cer tificates were Issued, and when, therefore, none of the changes of property which had taken place since the passing of the Act could be recognised, and the real owners of the shares were thus precluded from expressing their opinion as to the disposition of their own pro perty, the Directors call a special meeting, for no less an object than to alter the nature of the property by an amalgamation with:another undertaking (not being authorised to do so by any power in their Act, owing to which most inadequate terms were offered for the Birming han and Oxford line itself), and then to sell the line so amalgamated —a proceeding equally unautherised by their Act—clearly justify the holders of the shares in the Birmingham and Oxford Railway, who are dissatisfied with the result of these irregular proceedings, in re sisting to the utmost of their power the accomplishment of the ob jects so proposed, and in protecting their property and Interests by those means which the law has provided. The dissentient share• holders v; ere satisfied that, as soon as the opinions of the real holders of the shares could be ascertained, these views would be readily responded to ; and all doubt upon this subject is now re moved 'by the large measure of support which they have already received, placing beyond a question the fact that a considerable majority of the shareholders are decidedly opposed to the arrangements proposed by the Directors, and are determined to annul them, and to secure for the Birmingham and Oxford Company at least as good terms as those offered by the London and North Western Company-151. per share premium. The shareholders are well aware of the argument which has been adduced by the Directors to justify their proceedings—that in conse quence Of the views entertained by Parliament on the subject of com petition, there was no alternative but to dispose of this line to the Great Western Company, although the result might be that they must have it on their own terms. To this it is replied—firstly, that the Directors, in making terms, were at least bound, as trustees for the proprietors) to obtain a full value for their property ; and the uni versal admission that the Birmingham and Oxford is a ten per cell'. line (more was originally stated), sufficiently indicates, without further reference to the offer of the London and North-Western Company, that the price offered by the great Western is Inadequate. Secondly, as th s dissenting shareholders consider that the only result which can be expected from competition is to secure (ultimately) the lowest charges to the public consistent with safety, they contend that this would have been more cer tainly and readily accomplished by an arrangement with the London and North-Western Company, who, while they are ready to give increased terms to the Birmingham and Oxford proprietors, are also prepared to secure to the public a scale of charges lower than those provided for by the Birmingham and Oxford Act, and con siderably lower than those of the Great Western Railway. As the dissentient shareholders are now desirous of at once com pleting their arrangemonts for effecting the objects above alluded to, and as they will be greatly facilitated by a knowledge of the entire suet ort they may rely upon, they request that their brother shareholders who concur with them in opinion will tra smit their names, with the number of shares held by them, without d. lay, to the following parties : —Mr. E. J. Mozley, Liverpool ; Mr. Thomas Gasquolne, 15, New Market-buildings, Manchester, Messrs. Col more and Beale, solicitors, Birmingham, by whom any necessary information willhe furnished ; and all shareholders arc particularly requested to retain their proxies until applied to by the Committee of the dissentient shareholders.

The Committee hive now concluded the arrangement with the London and South-Western Company, etiablin4 them to make the return of 20s. per share on the shares in this Company. They have alto received a guarantee from the London and South-Western Company for payment of the further sum of 30s. per share on each of the shares in this C, tnpany, in the event of the Bill for which the said London and South-Western Company intend to apply to Parliament, in the next session, for making a railway in continuation of or out of the Basingstoke and Salisbury Railway at Salisbury t• Yeovil, obtaining the Royal assent.

FALLING OF A HOUSE IN BEDFORDBUM—Yes terday afternoon, between four and five o'clock, the ut most alarm prevailed in Bedfordbury, in consequence of the falling in of a house in that street. It appears that the premises in question, No. 45, Bedfordbury, had for some time past been in a state of dilapidation, and were now under repair by Mr. Newman, the builder, of Brewer-street, Pimlico. During the last few weeks the place had been under the charge of a female, who was in the house at the time of the occurrence. Several work men were engaged yesterday about the shop lately occu pied by a Mr. Cole, a plumber * and at the named hour, one of them about to cross the road had his attention attracted, by the 'falling in °f.'s portion ,Pf :the wall on the exterior of the premises. He immediately raised an alarm, when the rest of the workmen came out, and in a few moments after there was a terrific noise produced by the Min.. in 'of the first floor, and the partition that divides the passage' from the shop, besides a quantity of bricks, &c., from the. upper rooms. Some fears were at first entertained that the woman was smothered, but she was fortunately at the rear of the premises at the time, and after the confusion was over she was rescued without being at all injured.

On Wednesday an office for granting letters of marque and reprisal, according to the decrees of the Mexican Government, was first opened in the vicinity of the Tower, being the first time that an occurrence of the kind has happened during the last 40 years in England. The following are extracts from the official ordinances of the Mexican Government relating to this subject:- " TO WHOM AND WITH WHAT CONDITIONS LETTERS OF MARQUE HAVE TO BE GIVEN. " Art. 1. %To obtain letters of marque against the United States during the present war, a patent from the Supreme Government will be required, which will be granted in the form and under the conditions prescribed in this regulation. " Art. 2. The patent referred to in the foregoing article will only be granted to vessels of which the captains, officers, and other individuals appointed thereto are Mexican citizens, according to the laws of the Republic. " Art. 3. Every individual who may wish to arm one or more privateers shall deposit for each one a capital of not less than $4,000 should the vessel net exceed 100 tons, or $B,OOO if of a larger burden ; or shall give se• curity for like amount, to the satisfaction of the person who may furnish the patent. "TO WHOM TO APPLY FOR OBTAINING SAID PATENTS. " Art. 4. The requisition shall be addressed to the Supreme Government in the territory of the Republic, through the respective governors ; and in foreign coun tries through the consuls, or authorised agents for this purpose. " Art. 5. In the requisition shall be minutely ex pressed everything that may be necessary to give a cir cumstantial account of the vessel destined to cruise, its tonnage, force, equipment, and crow, on the understand ing that it shall not be less than 60 tons. Art. 6. With letters of marque will also be given to the parties interested letters of commission for those in charge of the prizes, if they should solicit them, to the number which the functionary delivering the said patent may consider necessary, having in view the appointment of the vessel. "ON THE PROTECTION WHICH HAS TO BE GIVEN TO THE OWNERS. " Art. 9. The naval commanders, harbour masters, and other local authorities s h a ll afford to the owners and captains of the privateers all the protection which they may need, and which may be in their power, in everything conducive to the quick armament of the ves sels, permitting them to receive all the persons they may require, excepting those who may be in actual service on board the national vessels of war, coercing those who may resist to obey their orders, and prosecuting de serters, who shall be condemned to six years service in the army or navy, if they should be apprehended after the privateer shall have made sail. " Art. 10. Likewise they shall be furnished with arms of every description, powder, and shot, when they may be asked for and th e serv i ce may not want them, g i v i ng out to them these last articles at the cost or costs, with a credit at the most of six months; if they should not be able to make immediate payment, to take sufficient security for it. That which they may not consume during the period they shall return, the value thereof being credited to them. " Art. 11. In case of shipwreck, or the vessel being taken, they shall be freed from all responsibility, both themselves and their securities, the loss or seizure being fully proved. " ON THE RIGHTS OF THOSE EMPLOYED IN CRUISING, AND THE PRIVILEGES GRANTED TO THEM. " Art. 12. Ail those who may be employed on board of privateering vessels shall be subject, in their internal police and regulations, to the ordinances of the navy, and shall enjoy the rights of the navy in all that may not relate to prizes. Art. 15, The individuals out of their crews who may be disabled from wounds received in action, and without the necessary supplies for their subsistence, shall have the same privileges as invalids of the navy, each one according to his class, and in conformity with the reports made by captains and commanders of the privateers, also consulting thereon the respective com manders of the naval department. " Art. 16. The widows of those who may die from like causes, and who should also be left without re sources, shall enjoy pensions which the Supreme Govern ment may be pleased to grant them. "ON THE ADJUDICATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. " Art. 17. The owners and other individuals who may be employed privateering shall have entirely adjudicated to them, and without any reserve whatsoever, the prizes which they make, under the following regulation:- " Art. 18. Moreover, should the vessels taken be of war, a gratuity of 60 dolls, shall be given for every cannon that may exceed twelve inclusively, 40 dolls. if they should exceed four, also inclusively; and 20 dolls. for every prisoner of the enemy's force; the amount of this gratuity exclusively belongs to the captain, subal terns, marines, and sailors of the privateering vessels, amongst whom it will be divided according to the wages which they may receive. " WHAT VESSELS AND EFFECTS ARE TO RE CONSIDERED OF LAWFUL SEIZURE. " Art. 24. Of lawful seizure are " I. Vessels of the enemy with all that they may carry on board belonging to them, whether of war, privateers, or merchant vessels. " 2. The cargo and effects of neutrals and Mexicans which may be found on board these said vessels, after sufficient time has elapsed for the declaration of war, proclaimed by the Government of the United States to the Mexican nation, being known. " 3. Vessels constructed by the enemy, or which may have belonged to the enemy, if the property be not suffi ciently accredited or neutral. " 4. Those which may be navigated without patents or register that may prove their neutrality, their entire cargo, or part thereof, being, if they should be found in the same predicament, for want of the indispensable papers, the act alone of throwing papers into the see, shall be sufficient motive for declaring them lawful seizure. " 5. Those which may be found without legal patent of sovereignty, state, or republic, having the authority for granting it. " 6. Those which may have it from one or more Powers. " 7. Those who may fight under other colours than the sovereign or state to whom their patent belongs. If these vessels, and those comprised in the foregoing para graphs, should be armed for war, their captains and officers shall be reputed as pirates. " 8. Those which, after the national flag is hoisted, should refuse to lie to, and should provoke combat. 44 9 . Those which may navigate with the patent of the etsieuay in the terms expressed in the second paragraph. " 10. Those belonging to Mexicans and neutrals which may be armed for privateering under the Mexican flag, without having obtained permission from the :Supreme Government, and accredited with the patent, 'their captains shall be treated as pirates. " 11. Those of pirates and mutineers returning to their owners should they appear within one year and a dey, and those also who can prove not to have taken part, directly or indirectly, in piracy, separating a third part of their total value for the benefit of those making! the seizure. " 12. Vessels abandoned by the enemy, or which may 'be adrift from tempest, or any other accident, before being brought into safety, if it should not be known to whom they belong, for want of documents, or if they should not have their proper crew, and if the owners of them should not appear within a year and a day ; adju dicating, under any circumstances, the third part to those taking them, the two remaining parts shall belong to the public treasury. " 13. Merchandise known in war to be contraband, on board of whatsoever vessel it may be found, if it be going to the country of the enemy, or point occupied by it. By contraband effects of war are understood to be the following:-Cannons, mortars, howitzers, swivel guns, blunderbusses, muskets, guns,carbines, rifles, pistols, pikes, swords, sabres, lances, harping irons, battle-axes, gre nades, shells, powder, matches, balls, and whatever other articles which may apply to arms; shield, helmets, ' breastplates, coats of mail, infantry and cavalry belts, uniforms or apparel for soldiers, horses with their trap pings, and, lastly, every description of arms, or instru ments of iron, steel, bronze, and copper, or other mane lectured materials prepared and made for the purpose of waging war by sea or land. " 14. Provisions which may be carried to the enemy's camp, blockaded or besieged by the forces of the nation. " 15. The effects and merchandise which may be found on board neutral vessels, whenever the Power to which they belong should not recognise the principle of exemption. " ON THE CONDUCT TO BE OBSERVED BY PRIVATEERS AND VESSELS OF WAR. " Art. 28. If a vessel should refuse to lie to after the Mexican flag has been hoisted, it, shall be compelled to do so by force. " Art. 29. If a vessel flying enters the waters of ano ther Power, it should no longer be pursued; the seizure made on these waters shall be unlawful. " Art. 30. Should the enemy not respect this prin ciple, claims will be made of the Power whose juris. diction has been violated; and if a reparation should not bo obtained it will be acted against, according to the orders which the Government may find it convenient to dictate. " Art. 49. It is prohibited, under the penalty of from two to ten years' hard labour, to drive on shore, sink, or burn the vessel captured, unless without absolute neces• i sity ; and if, in consequence thereof, one or more offence, of those on board should perish, then, and for such shall the punisreent of death be in upon him who gave the order for the act , and,in default upon the actual perpetrators. " Art. SO. It shall only be allowed to sink or burn the vessel when it shall be impossible in any other way to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy, re leasing before all things every one there may be on board, and taking all the papers ; any omission with re spect to the first s hall be punished as directed in the second part of the Article 49 ; and with respect to the second, with from two to ten years' hard labour. " Art. 5 1 . The same penalty of death shall the cap tain incur who leaves the crew of the vessel to perish, if it should go to pieces in consequence o f the action, a nd when he, being able to sa v e the lives, does not do so. " Art. 52. The same penalty shall be incurred if they are abandoned on desert coasts or islands. " Art. 53. Prisoners of war shall be treated with all humanity and moderation, paying to every one the con sideration due to his rank, until they are delivered over to the military or political authority of the first port of the Republic where they shall arrive, taking the neces• nary certificate. " ON THE PORTS WHERE THE PRIZES ARE TO BE TAKEN. " Art. 59. The prizes shall be conducted to the com mercial ports of the Republic ; but, if there should be any danger of falling into the enemy's hands, they may then take them to those of the coasting trade. " Art. 60. When the prizes are made at places very distant from the coasts of the Republic, aßd near ports of neutral Powers, they may be taken to the nearest where they may be permitted, haring a consul or Mexican agent, and there be sold, should it undoubtedly belong to the enemy, in the judgment of the said consul. Excepting these cases, this measure shall only be taken when, without real danger, it cannot arrive at the ports of the Republic."

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, nd the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing )(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevons headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the erown of the heal ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplicationg. If used on infants' beads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre. vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

" My esteemed Friend,—Various persons interested in my good name inform me by last post that my ene mies in the capital have spread the tale that the late conversion of the English debt, effected by Don Manuel Escandon, has been approved with my consent; and, as this assertion is entirely contrary to truth, and at the same time injurious to my reputation, I request you to make known to the public, through the press, that so far have I been from approving this transaction, that I have done everything in my power to prevent the consumma tion of such an iniquity. Ever since I learned at the Havannah from Don Ignacio Taoperena that Escandon had ;gone to London with that object, I wrote to my friends there to oppose his views, and on my return to Vera Cruz, I wrote to the same effect to the capital, learning afterwards with satisfaction, at my estate of the Encero, that the Government had disapproved an ope ration which would leave us without resources, and aug ment considerably that unfortunate London debt, which is the cancer of the republic. To Don Antonio de Haro I recommended, at Tucubaya, the fulfilment of his pre decessor's resolution on this subject, and, above all, that he should leave the decision of the affair entirely to the extraordinary Congress, in consideration of its import ance. I was lately informed by General Sales, ' that the said Minister, by his own sole authority, had approved, in the name of the Government, the conversion of the debt as effected by Escandon, and that, disregarding the difficulties which the affair presented, he relinquished some hundreds of thousands of dollars which the Go vernment might have obtained, if obliged to give its approbation, and without considering the afflicting cir cumstances of the republic, and compromising, perhaps, the fate of its valiant and enduring army, he had applied to the payment of dividends sums which would now afford us prompt and effective assistance.' Tbis news surprised me to such a degree that I could not but write to Senor Hera, begging him, by the friendship which unites us, to vindicate himself to the public from what I believed to be a mistake, or a calumny of his enemies. Unfortunately, as is now notoriour, this friend did'com mit the error referred to, although, in reply to my let ter, he assured me that he was about to give a proper explanation t) the public.. Iha a felt this affair most sensibly, as it was I who recommended Senor Haro for the Ministry, and because from it, and the sincere friendship which I entertained for him, parties interested in calumniating me have s.) . llL ; ht to draw conclusions un favourable to my reputation, involving me in the cloud of vile fabrications which they spread in 1844 in order to sacrifice me with impunity. It is painful tome to make this statement when it conceit's a man like Senor llaro, to whom I was warmly attached; but I beliPve that my silence would occasion my conduct to be misin terpreted at the pleasure of my enemies. For this rea son I have determined to break silence in defence of my honour, which I am bound zealously to guard. " ANTONIO LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA." FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. s.—On Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, a number of persons, and especially a crowd of artists, attended the funeral of Mr. Lombard Nieuvven buys, at Laacken. Mr. Nieuwenhuys has left a fortune of abovt a million, which ho acquired by dealing in pictures. He resided at Paris, and was very well known in England. His two brothers, his partners, live, or.e iu London, and the other at Brussels. A meeting of the ironmasters of the province of Liege and of the province of Hainault took place two or three days ago, at Brussels. The two opinions which divide this branch of manufactures, viz., whether the import duty of foreign cast iron should be reduced or main tained, had their representatives at this meeting, which was held in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. If we are righly informed, the result of this conference was such that the project of dhanging the tariff of customs with respect to foreign cast iron, may be considered as wholly abandoned. Their Majesties the King and Queen came from Laacken to the palace at Brussels yesterday, about noon. Her Majesty was visited in the afternoon by Monsigneur de Saint Marzan, the Apostolic Nuncio, and by Lady Seymour, wife of the English Ambassador. The Bishop of Ghent has jest made an appeal to the charity of East and West Flanders. He has established a relief committee at Ghent. " Food, clothes, fuel," says that respectable prelate, "everything is want ing by more than 150,000 poor in the villages of East Flenders alone, and the last winter has exhausted every resource. The more wealthy inhabitants of the rural districts have imposed enormous sacrifices on themselves for the relief of the unfortunate, and many of them are in a state of embarrassment in consequence of their liberality and their bounties to their poor and perishing neighbours. The resources of the benevolent societies are exhausted, and the grants which the Legislative Chambers have allowed them are scarcely sufficient to afford even a rye loaf daily to each family for some weeks." The parish priests and pastors state that even hope now abandons them, unless aid more powerful than there is comes to their immediate relief. The rich, say they, who pass the fine season in the country have now returned to town ; if we call upon them to advocate the cause of the poor, we are received the first time they give us something, but the second time we meet with refusals from some, who allege the distress in the city ; others say that they are not at home. What we are able to collect from the few is utterly insufficient, we must necessarily seek for some other means to meet the general distress." Let us say, to the honour of our reverend fellow-labourers, they have done their duty, and surely deserve at our hands that we should support them by every means in our power. For this purpose we have prayed for the blessing of Col upon our efforts; we have established a relief com mittee for the poor of the country districts of East Flan?.ers. On tha 4th of January a list of subscriptions will be opened. We subscribe at the head of it the sum of 1,200 francs, and we even engage to double this sum if some generous persons will advance us the money, without interest, for the term of one year. Count Felix de Merode has just written to the Bishop of Ghent that he promises to remit to the relief committee the sum of 250 francs per month for the months of February. March, end April. The marriage of the Count Trapani with the daughter of the Archduke Charles of Austria is spoken of. This event is connected with the presence of Prince Felix do Schwartzenberg, the Austrian Minister ut Naples. The Nurenburg Correspondent affirms that the rela tions of the Court of Naples with the Cabinet of the Tuilleries are much impaired since the Spanish mar riages. BELGIAN FUNDS.—Barisus, JAN. 4.

His commissions were purchased by hard service alone. He served during the campaign of 1790, in Holland, including the actions of the 2d and 6th of October. He also took part in the siege of Malta, and was present at the surrender of La Valetta and the battle of Maids,. In 1807 he accompanied the expedition to Egypt.

Last evening an inquest was held at Guy's Hospital, before Mr. W. Payne, relative to the death of Mary Bateman, of Morgan's-lane, Tooley-street, a maiden lady, ag e d 72 years, whose death was occasioned by being run over by a cab on the 14th ult.

She was instantly picked l up and conveyed to Mr. Braby's, surgeon, where At was found that her thi g h was broken, and she was brought to the hospital. She expired on Tuesday last.

THE PAST-YEAR AND THE PRESENT YEAR.—A DIALOGUE. 4n last New Year's evening, the past year and present Shook hands, and convers'd in a style rather pleasant. " How d'yo do'?' said the Old Year, addressing the New ; " Well, Pm nicely, I thank you, old friend, how are you?" Thus awhile did they chat, and, before they had done, They touch'd on the projects of MOSES and SON. " I have often felt proud (said the Yerr that Is past). When a glance on the warehouse of MOF.ES I cast ; For this vast speculation—this trading domain Open'd all its vast premises during my reign. Whenever I look at this mercantile throne I rejoice that my honours will rival your own." stop! stop I (said the Present Year), talk not so fast, I'll prove that the present shall rival the past. Althsugh in your mayoralty' much has been done By thole wonderful tradesmen, E. MOSES and SON, Don't suppose for one instant that less will appear At MOSES and SON'S in the present new year. ' ON ! ON I' is the maxim on which they would flx, And thus will they rival the year Forty-six. The year Forty-seven, long, long ere it closes - Will add a fresh wreath to the laurel of MOSES. ONE WORD OF .

A court of inquiry assem bled on board her yesterday, at Spithead, to investigate the cause of her getting ashore on the Horse shoal. 'The result has, of course, not tranfpired. The Resistance troop ship, Commander G. Ldtve, completed the embarkation of her troops yesterday, and was towed out to Spithead this morning by the Echo. The Rattler screw steam sloop, Commander Moorman, is hourly expected here from Plymouth, orders being down for her to be docked, and the bearings of her screw (which are reported defective) examined, and other de fects made good. The Nelson, 120, advanced ship, which was brought down a few days since and examined, apparently with the prospect of speedy commission, was taken back to her moorings yesterday; from which it is augured the Neptune, 120, is the ship intended to fill the post of flag ship at this port, vice St. Vincent, 120, which is expected to take the place of the Victory, as an efficient ordinary guard-ship, but to be kept in a sea going state. There are no orders down yet as to what ship shall be built upon the new slip in this dockyard, now vacant by the launch of the Dauntless screw steam-frigate, but it is expected that a splendid frigate of 50 guns, to be called the Shannon, in commemoration of the ever-memorable action between the Shannon and the Chesapeake, and to perpetuate the name and fame of the good ship which was the victor in that celebrated national struggle (now the St. Lawrence receiving ship at Sheerness) will be shortly laid down upon the above slip. The Thetis is to take in the slop clothing ordered for Malta on Saturday, and sail for Lisbon on Monday, with officers and supernumeraries for the squadron in the Ta gus, and then go on to Malta. The Penelopedia sgo t her ord ers . Sh e i s to sa i l on Saturday for Ascension, touching at the Cape de Verds. A number of officers, marines, and about 100 disposable boys for the squadron, under the orders of Commodore Sir Charles Hotiliam, are to go in her; also a commainller to join the Devastation, and bring her to England. The Naiad store-ship will have taken in all that is to be sent out in her by to-morrow. She is to sail on Saturday for the Brazils, and there discharge fifty boys for distribution in the squadron, under the orders of Com modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.B. She ,then goes round Cape Horn, and at Valparaiso will discharge 150 more boys for service in the South American squadron. The Naiad will ultimately be a coal depot; she has 700 tons on board. Orders have been sent down to know in how short a time the Retribution steam frigate can be got ready for sea, her services being required to convey biscuit meal to Ireland. Orders have also been sent to enter stout, able men for the Birkenhead and Rosamond steamers, the services of these vessels being immediately required. The Medea steamer is ordered here from Woolwich, and is intended to be sent to the West Indies. Officers appointed to ships on that station are directed to hold themselves in readiness to proceed in her. The Scourge steamer is refitting alongside the dock yard, and when ready will be kept in a fit state to pro ceed to Lisbon, to rejoin Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron. The following officers are appointed to study at the Naval College :—Captain R. F. Stopford and Commanders E. M. Lyons, H. S. Hawker, and J. B. West. Several persons connected with the town and garrison have subscribed for and presented a piece of plate to Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir H. Pakenham, the Lieutenant-Governor, on his relinquishing the command of the south-western district. • SURREY THEATRE.— rho? favourite place of amuse ment (the first of the minors) has been filled to over flow every evening since Christmas. Stirling's Hand at Cards are roally trumps, and The King of the Castle has oeen crowned with complete success. A more brilliant victory for the author of the p::.ntomime (Mr. B. S. Fairbrotber) could not be achieved. So great has been the attraction of The King of the Castle, or Harlequin and the Land of Dreams, that the "Old Surrey " has been thronged with smiling faces, and overwhelming plaudits have been showered .on the beautiful effects in he new pantomime. The comic portion is supported by the talented Detain family, who are decidedly the best pantomimists of the day. We wish the liberal lessee (Mrs. Davidge) a continuance of her brilliant suc cess for the spirited manner she is keeping up the re spectability of her theatre WIND;Ort, THURSDAY EVENING.—The Court left Windsor fir Claremont this afternoon. Mr. Anson, ho has not quite recovered from the effects of his late ,:ceident, will remain at the Castle a few days longer, and then proceed to relieve Colonel Phipps at. Claremont. According to present arrangements the Court will re nutiu at Claremont for about a week, but should any circumstances arise to call for the holding of a Privy Council before the expiration of that time, her Majesty svill return to Windsor CaAle3 for that purpose, it is understood. SUICIDE / ROM LONDON BRIDGE. Absllt one o'clock yesterday morning a man, about 45 years of age, was observed to be pacing backwards and forwards on London bridge, when he suddenly went into the midd'• arch on the south side, deliberately ascended the parapet, and sprung into the river, and, although an alarm was given and boats put out immediately, he was unfortu- nately drowned. A:Court of Compensation was held yesterday at the Horns at Kennington, for the purpose of assessing the value of the Rose public .house, Westminster-bridge road, which is required by the South Western Railway Company for the extension to liuneerford-bridge. The landlord, Mr. Dawson, claimed 3,8241. for the value of the property, and compensation for loss of business. The jury awarded 2,319/. for the whole. MR. WAKLEY, M.P.—We regret to learn that continued indisposition detains the Hon. Member for Finsbury in the country, and prevents him resuming the duties of Coroner for the present. It is, however, ex pected that in a few days Mr. Wakley will be sufficiently restored to convalescence to be enabled to appear in his seat in the House of Commons at the opening of Parlia ment, and to attend also to his court. GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 20L—Yesterday the half-mile race between Mitchell, of Wandsworth, and Massey, of London, came off at Mitcham, for 201. At the start Massey took the lead, which he maintained for 500 yards, when his opponent came up, and a spirited race ensued, and which terminated by Mitchell coming in the winner, having accomplished the distance in two minutes and twenty-nine seconds. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—Yesterday the monthly meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club took place at the Piazza Hotel, Covent-garden ; the new club room was opened to the members. The following gen tlemen were elected members of the club :—Archibald Low, Esq., Thomas Ripinghall, Esq., John Shakspear, Esq., Thomas Bailey, Esq., and George Murray, Esq. The annual ball was fixed to take place on Thursday, the 18th of February. ACCIDENT TO THUMWOOD'S WINDSOR COACH.-- Yesterday afternoon a collision took place on the. Great Western Rand, opposite Holland Park. As Thumwood's Windsor coach, which leaves Piccadilly about five o'clock, was proceeding on its return journey, it came into collision with a Brougham, in which were two ladies, when by the force of the concussion three gentlemen and a female, who were outside passengers, were with the driver, thrown with great violence into the road, and both vehicles were nearly overturned. Immediate as sistance was rendered, and it was found that they had fortunately escaped injury, with the exception of a few bruises. The driver of the Brougham was also thrown off, but the ladies inside escaped injury. The offside trace of the coach with the lamp, and the offside lamp of the Brougham, were broken by the accident. Neither vehicle had the lamps lighted. The Well and works in Orange-street, Leicester-- square, from which the fountains in Trafalgar-square, with the Houses of Parliament and Government offices in the vicinity have been supplied, are about to pass into the hands of a private company, just established, for supplying the metropolis with water from this source. Another well will for this purpose shortly be sunk iu connexion with the p resent establishment, froth which, during the last two seasons, the supply fur watering the streets iu St. Martin's parish and the Whitehall district has hem obtained. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—About eight o'clock last night, a respectably dressed man entered the shop of Mr. Perry, watchmaker, 139, Oxford-stre( t, under the pre tence of purchasing a silver watch. Mr. Perry placid several before his customer, who requested Mr. Petty to show him some others. Whilst Mr. Perry was reaching a tray from the other end of the shop, the fellow took the opportunity to possess himself of one of those lying on the counter, and immediately made off with it. The act was so sudden, that it was some time before Mr. Perry could go in pursuit of the thief, who gut clear off with the property. DEATH OF Two FEMALES DURING SLEEP.—Yes terday two inquests were taken by Mr. IV. Carter, on the bodies of persons who died under very sudden and t awful circumstances. The first case was investigated i Mr. Mortram's, the Horse and Groom,H Newington, on the body of Miss Ann Lon g, d eceased *g h a g -s e t d re High-street, of lq Church-row, High-street.

On the following morning the servant went at eight o'clock, and found the deceased in bed, but life had been extinct some time. A second inquest was held by the same coroner at the Duchess of York, Pitt-street, Lock's-fields, Walworth, respecting the death of Eliza Chambers, aged 49 years, lately residing at No. 10, 6alisbury-street, Walworth. The deceased was a single woman, and of remarkable habits. She had an income sufficient to keep her in comfortable circumstances, but of late years she was well-known by, the neighbours to be of a saving and miserly disposition. On Friday last the deceased was missed by the landlord and the other neighbours, and as some suspicion was excited, a policeman was called, who forced her room door, when she was discovered lying on the bed in her night-dress. A surgeon was called in, who pronounced life to have been extinct many hours. The jury, in each case, returned a verdict of Natural death." SUICIDE OF A PERSON OF PROPERTY. —The Courrier de la Gironde states that a few days ago Mr. Charles Warre, a person of large property at Hamburgh, but residing at Bordeaux, left his home and made his way to the wood on the hill of Cenon la Bastide, and there hung himself on a tree. That he was in a state of insanity there can be no doubt, as he had previously been an inmate of a lunatic asylum ; and yet he had had the precaution of taking his watch, his money, and his keys from his pockets, and leaving them - on a table in his apartment.
