The annual splendid and costly banquet, given upon the inauguration of the Master Cutler elect, took place in the Cutler's Hall on Thursday evening last. Those who elicited marks of enthusiastic ad miration were Earl Fitz william Earl of Arundel a nd Surrey, Viscount Morpeth, Messrs. Parker and Ward, the borough Members, the Mayor, Lord Milton, and Sir Arnold Knight, &c. Dinner was served at five o'clock, and covers were laid for 220 persons. The Maker Cutler (Henry Mort, Esq.), occupied the chair. After the usual loyal toasts, which were drunk with great enthusiasm. Joust PARKER, Esq., M.P., on rising, was lou dl y applauded. He said—Mr. Master Cutler, my Lords, and gentlemen, I should not have presumed to rise at so early a period of the evening, were it not that the Master Cutler has imposed upon me the pleasing duty of proposing a toast which his always' been re ceived with great pleasure by the inhabitants of this district, and will not be received with less pleasure and respect on account of the presence of those I see around me.—(Cheers.) I have, gentlefnen of Shef field, to propose the health of the Lord of Hallam shire.—(Loud applause.) It is gratifying to me to see here present the two Noble Lords, sons of the Noble Duke ; and .I am sure I may leave it in their hands to say how glad the Noble r Duke would have been to be present. But higher duties which his Grace owes to his Sovereign, who has-commanded his attendance in another part of the realm, prevent his attendance here upon this occa sion. However, I- am sure that the Noble Lords, who are here will represent him ably, and you will, I trust, receive tet you have always received " The health of the Duke of Norfolk and Lord of Hallamshire."—(Loud cheers.) Lord E. HOWARD shortly returned thanks, and apologised for the absence of his father (the Duke of Norfolk), in consequence of hnving been called upon to attend the Queen to Scotland. The ex- Master Cutler (T. TURTON Esq.) and the Mayor of SHEFFIELD then severally proposed as toasts the healths of the Dukes of Devonshire and New castle. Sir ANDREW KNIGHT, M.D., then proposed in a short and eulogistic speech :he health of Earl Fitz- william. The toast was received wit h loud applause, and The Noble EABL,in returni n g thanqs, sai—l beg to return you my very sincere thanks for the honour which, at the suggestion of my learned friend on my left, you have been pleased to confer upon me. It has frequently been my lot to be called upon to thank you on these occasions, but there has been none on which I have done it with more satisfaction than on the present, for it is now several years since I had the pleasure of meeting you at this festive board. You must allow me to make one or two, or perhaps even three observ ations on the state of Ireland, and on my own duties in relation to it ; and perhaps from my own duties you may be able to infer what are yours.—(Applause.) My learned friend has told you that I am considerably connected with that country. So lam ; and I endeavour accord ing to the best lights that I can obtain, to do my duty towards that country. But it is one of thegreatest problems to be solved by politicians, what g is the right way of dealing with a countr y which has been so grievously afflicted. It alwa y s a pp ears to me, whether sitting in the Hou se of Parliament, whether in the great meetin gs of England , whether in town or whether in the country, whether' I am in the presence of the young or whether I am in the pre sence of the aged, it appears to me that there is marvellous ignorance of the state of that country, that there is marvellous ignorance of the deep calamity which has oppressed it. There is a marvellous ignorance in some persons disposing them to ascribe it to the misconduct of men rather than to the inscrutable designs of Providence. It is to the latter that I am disposed to ascribe is,— (Cheers.) Without at any length referring to the question, there can be no doubt that in the element of the food of man a scarcity has been inflicted on that country by the will of the Almighty. Gentle men, it is undoubtedly the duty of every individual proprietor in that country, who perhaps bears—l will not say perhaps—but who does bear a somewhat dif ferent relation to the districts of that country, even large proprietors in that country, to what a large proprietor bears in this district—it is his duty to alleviate distress as much as possible.— (Cheers.) But the distress cannot be entirely alleviated, because you cannot, by any possible means, fill up that deep cavity which has been made in that country. But if it is the duty of indivi dual proprietors to do as much as they can for the inhabitants on their individual estates, give me leave to suggest to you whether, if I be the owner of so m any hundreds, or of so many thousands of acres in the county of Wicklow—give me leave to ask you, as Englishmen, whether the whole of Ireland is nut the estate of England ?—(Applause.) Whether Ireland has not a right to consider England as her landlord, e i gunt m thererny an he fsaoc and if the inhabitants of particular districts have a right to look to landlords for assistsince, I would put it to you and to the governors of this country whether Ireland at large has not a right to look to England as her landlord? You have given —you have advanced some nine millions of money in the course of the last twelve months. Of that you have given between four and five millions. You have lent it. Now, it is my fortune to read newspapers sometimes, and very often I see a great deal of credit taken for the advance, not of the four millions which has - been given, but I see a great deal of credit taken for the four millions which has been lent. I can only observe on that subject, that the generosity of the money-lender is not the virtue which is most ordinarily ascribed to him. The money-lender generally expects to have his money back again, with interest, and therefore I do not look on it that there is any very great claim for generosity when people lend money. But then I beg to start this question—and that is, whether the conduct of Englishmen in bygone days towards Ireland has not made England a large debtor to Ireland? I say it has. How many Acts of Parliament have been passed to discourage agricul ture in Ireland ? How many Acts to discourage, and if possible, to destroy her manufactures ? Her agri culture was discouraged, and her landed property was diminished in value. tier manufactures were put down in order to appease the landed and commercial jealousies of England. To Ireland, therefore, Eng land, as a nation, owes a large debt—not merely a large moral debt, but I will be bold to affirm, a large pecuniary debt—and, therefore, I believe four millions is ncthing like the amount due from England to Ireland, if it could be estimated by the measure and kind of legislation adopted towards that country. —(Cheers.) I may infer from certain circumstances which have recently taken place, and which I shall not further state than just by mentioning them, and leave you to infer what I allude to. I trust there is growing up in this country an opinion that perfect freedom of trade is best for all classes in it.—(Loud applause.) I hope, from the manner in which you have just received these observations, that I may have from you even a still more marked demonstration of your opinion, that perfect free trade is the best for all the nations of the world. I do not mean that trade should be free from those duties which are imposed for purposes of revenue; these duties are of a different kind. But I want to have your opinion whether free trade is best .foiall nations of the world. —(Loud, applause.) Do not applaud till you are Ling, in Great Britain the cutlery of Germany cornpe and Ireland, with the cutlery of Sheffield. Be quite quite sure. Be quite sure that you w . ould like to see sure that that is your intention before you say one word of approbation.—(Cheers-) Is that your mean- Leeds, with the yarn of ing? And do you think that your neighbours of t n u et r hg e eu or t s o e i Leeds and Bradford intend, when they talk of free o a n c g r y r o d u ing wh t o o h th a e ve la b w ee o n f trade, to admit t o h et e ho c er l r o e t b h de s is e e f us fo s r ; annel ot Rochdale ? There is one other topic which it y ma be useful to make an cßarmatipte.otred,wainthd withthe cloth of of at all looking abroad during the last fortnight or three weeks must have o bserved that a very remark has tdien place in Italy. Now, observation upon.

Will they get up and say that the power which Austria has invaded is not a friendly power, and not only that it is not a friendly power, but that the plater)t even know that such a power exists ?—(Lau I wish to know whether the inherited bigotry of the sixteenth cen tury is to prevent us having an accredited Minister at the Court of Rome, and to prevent our considering that as a friendly power, the sweeping of which away by Auitria from the face of Europe would most mate rially affect the interests of all the other powers of Europe ?

This lady had the following letter Weeded in the "'limes" news paper on Aug. 7, 1546. 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 ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, In having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. (I.'s ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an l 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 mace, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume itii far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops oa the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair froVi coming away with the comb, make it strong, and -revert 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 mist aro,atic herbs and dowers with confidence; its retreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o she toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops it the crown of the hex I ; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air on children's heads in a few appplicstions. It used on infants' cads, 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 ef testimonials. All letters addrefesed to William Grlinstone Tleibary. IBA ate. A R R I A G E. M One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern ganhudrrwyo:uldulty of f rn ca p u ro ti s c in n em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea ti teprudence,truth licean d deeper.th e Physical incapacity,regretn and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justicedernand that• health should form anitem in the compact ; it alone dignitiek the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by mlsinterpretatior of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonisti c to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by wiqualifled authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post ls. 64.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the nrmims he would inculcate-0 do unto others as he would be done unte—tc live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side of the way."

I trust they do not, and I trust, when my Noble Friend again enters Parlia ment, and when questions are asked upon that sub ject, the Government would not be met by the Pro testant cry, " You must not have a Minister at the Court of Rome to protect the interests of Great Britain in Italy."— (Loud applause.) Mr. Alderman DUNN gave "The Earl of Arundel and Surrey, and the house of Howard."—(Cheers.) He observed that there were present two members of that noble house, and it would be unseemly in him to go into certain details, with which he was prepared, in their Presence. _ The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said—Gentle men, I have on this occasion, as well as I have had on many previous occasions, to thank you for the most kind and flattering reception given to me on appear. ing before this company. I can only attribute your kindness. towards me to your admiration of those who have preceded me, and particularly to the regard iou have shown to my grandfather and father. Perhap some portion of your favour may be extended to me because of the sterling virtues and brilliant eloquence of my noble relative (Lord Morpeth) who has at tracted the admiration of the riding, and who ha now the great honour to represent it.—(Applduse.) I trust: ; when my Hon. Friend who proposed m 3 healtirsard there were two Howards in the room he aid not forget that my friend (Lord Morpeth) is als( a Howard.—(Applause.) I think it is by uniting such virtues as my Noble Friend possesses that we can hope to obtain the affections of those around us. Gentlemen, I do not feel that I am in a position to enter at any length into subjects of general informa tion. I may, however, venture to propose to you ti toast which will, I tear not, meet your cordial accept. ance. It is the health of our host, who has so splen didly entertained us to-day.—(Loud applause.) The MASTER CUTLER returned thanks. Colonel InomrsoN rose to propose the next toast. and was greatly applauded. He said it was so plain that all that bordered upon controversy should be ba nished from that table, that he knew nothing to which that assembly could so aptly be compared as to a festive union of men accustomed to fight under dif ferent banners but meeting beneath a flag of truce.-- (Cheers.) Great pleasure would be found in such union if it were only to relieve from the toils of con test. Great liberality also he was certain would b, felt amongst men of honourable habits, and there would be no disposition whatever to take advantage of any little outbreak of natural feeling which might fah from any one individual. For his part he was glad tt. be able to protest personally against the poor and pal try policy which continually involved the chance of war by being afraid to speak in opposition to it. Did men incur risks of that kind in private life? Did they excite the attacks of the dishonourable and wicked, by being afraid to cry " Stop thief," when occasion was presented to them ? or had they not a consciousness that every evil act would be pursued, and it was by the acclamations of the innocent that crime was prevented ?—(Cheers.) Depend upon it there would be no disunion upon a point where the honour of the country was concerned.—(Cheers ) He felt great pleasure, because he was speaking in the presence of those v,ho could not but feel it to be acceptable to find that such a feeling was prevalent among their countrymen, and particularly among that portion of their countrymen among whom hostile feelings were suspected. There were times when their ancestors had fought, and with reason : but he saw no reason for referring present disputes to the same common enemy.—(Applause.) Another ques tion to which allusion had been made he thought he might speak to with still more certainty for Bradford —that the men of that town were convinced that there were no risks to run in free-trade. They had examined the subject through, and were no longer ty be deluded by the flimsy plea that if all the nations of Europe were content to lose in turn by monopoly, the share of one nation would be worth having. They had seen enough to know better than this, and if they were asked, hands, as many as had been alluded to before, would be held up in oppo sition to such a proposition.—(Applause.) Let the answer of the gentlemen of Sheffield lay in the re ception which they would give to the toast, long postponed, but which he was requested now to give them, " The health of Lord Morpeth and Richard Cobden, Esq., thu representatives for the West Riding," and he hoped they would cheer them as they loved them.—(Loud and repeated cheering.) Glee—" The Mighty Conqueror." Lord MORPETD—(Loud and protracted cheering •Mr. Cutler, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I rise ' hand tltea eteenyd. dd _ return you my most hearty thanks for the honour you have just now been pleased to pay , the Members of the West Riding of Yorkshire. You are pro bably aware that my colleague, Mr. Cobden, is now at a considerable distance from, us—indeed, 1 am not sure whether, at this moment, he. knows that the Master Cutler of Sheffield has any lawful claim upon his attendance.—(Cheers.) However, it may be truly said of him, that within the period of the last twelve months he has been no stranger to banquets in the halls of commerce, and in the saloons of industry.— (Cheere-.), I certainly do not feel myself warranted in treading upon all the ground which has been laid open to us by one of my predecessors in the discussion of this evening—my noble and respected friend; Earl Fitzwilliam. If the proposer of his health made some little breach in the hedge which separates us from the consideration of nolitics, I think it must be admitted that my Noble Friend made a clean thing of it.—(Laughter and cheers.) I think he drove the famous old family coach-and-six right through it.—(Loud laughter.) I am not quite sure whether he intended to put to me definitely the question, or whether he only gave me a foretaste of the interrogatories wkich my col leagues are to expect at the opening of the ensuing Parliament. But I must frankly say at this moment that I am not prepared to answer whether the Cabi net have resolved to acknowledge the Pope or to proclaim war with Austria. However, you are quite at liberty to put the question to my colleagues, and if they think fit they may answer it.—(Cheers and laughter.) You may put the question to the Secretary of the Treasury whether he has included an allowance to an ambassador of Rome in his estimates for the ensuing year—(Laughter)—and to the Secretary of the Navy whether he has issued orders to fit out a squadron to blockade Trieste, and take possession of Ancona.—(Laughter.) However, I have the satis faction of having received an assurance—an authentic assurance—from my neighbour, the Noble Lord Milton, that he is about immediately to proceed in a yacht to the Mediterranean—(Laughter) — where I hope he will be able to guarantee the security of his Holiness the Pope.—(Much laughter.) And now I must state also my . cordial acquiescence in what fell from my other neighbour, the Earl of Arundel, whom I am so proud to claim as my kins man, that I view with great satisfaction the conti nuance of these respectable meetings, on a scale of increasing liberality and splendour.—(Applause.) 1 like the composition of these meetings, for they bring together the heads of great houses, the possessors of extensive acres, the members of the great agricultural interests of the country, and the representatives of that energy and enterprise which has given life and wealth ne s t ot busy u , ms which andfnh many omh distinctum mutual ui industrious xale s benefits.—(Applause.) oleansmespfite a t hast o se w ty. t b n hdii laTillAndoehdipwrsopi dispensers eea e ganu i n g s sied h enr. - ;s t bourhood.

I do not feel more warranted with respect to former topics which have been touched upon ' in the discussion, in saying what ought to be the future terms and modes of national assistance and mutual help be tween England and Ireland. These are subjects too great to be treated at such a moment as this, and amidst convivial accessories. But on looking at the past, I feel satisfied that England has gone through the crisis withoat raising any piteous cry for help to itself on account of its own sore places, and at the same time has done its best to staunch the wounds of bleeding Ireland.—(Applause.) I hope that easier times are now in store for us—that a brighter dawn is breaking around us, and that more frequent gleams of light streak the distant horizon. I trust, gentle men, that the sources of your trade and industry may prove as elastic even as those railway carriage springs which form a new and creditable source of employ ment, in this town—(Cheers) —and I trust that the harvest' that now embrowns the fields about us, and clothes all the hills and vales with golden sheaves, may be made the happy instrument of interchange with the productions of the looms and anvils of York shire, and thus tend, under the Divine blessing, to the permanent well-being of those interests which are so aptly and fitly represented at this plenteous and friendly board.—(Tremendous applause.)

He said that it was his duty to return his best thanks for the honour they had done him in drinking his health, as one of the representatives of this borough. He had frequently before performed a duty, having endeavoured, in former Parliainynts—both in respect to the political affairs of this great empire as well as the local and peculiar interests of the borough —to do his duty as one of those upon whom the highest re sponsibility devolved. Within the last few weeks, in conjunction with his friend and cAlengue who sat at the same table with himself, he had again received, after many years of service, the continued expres iion of their confidence, and had been again sent to Parliament to represent. the interests of - this consti tuency.—(Cheers.) lie had never flinched from my public declaration on any public questiun, when public duty required some avowal ; yet, in an as -emb l y like the present, his duty required that he should only generally avow his determination, on all occasions, to act as honourable duty required ; and, as far as the local affairs of this borough required, he trusted they would believe him, that, as in former times, so on future questions he would never flinch from advocating the interests, privileges, and objects of this community, whenever they might want a voice to advocate them in Parliament.—(Applau , ie.) As regarded the commercial prospects of this coun try, he trusted that the beneficent prospects which he present harvest affords, would restore the na tional prosperity, and elevate. not only this country, nut her sister also. As it was by the will of Provi twice that depression and distress existed, so he had dways held that He who had produced that destitu non could also produce plenty ; and he believed it was only the restriction of that plenty which re :tricted commercial prosperity. In conclusion, he begged to return them his thanks for the honour they had done him. H. G. WARD, Esq , M.P., also acknowledged the compliment, saying that he felt N ery much indebted to his friend Mr. Fisher for the manner in which he tad proposed his name, and also to all present, for the kind welcome they had given him. It was an ade quate reward for having at some little personal in eonvenience, and he was afraid by some neglect of nis official duties, been enabled to join the Master Cutler and his friends upon this occasion.—(Cheers.) On the previous day (Wednesday), at five o'clock, he left Devonport, and at five o'clock to-day he had the pleasure of taking his seat in that company ; and nothing but the marvellous power of locomotion in the present day could have enabled him, however desirous he might have been, to have accomplished so long yet so expeditious a journey. He observed that thiS evening had been one of the most agreeable that he had ever passed in that hall. They had diverged a little from that eternal circle of health proposing, of the violation of which there had been such a dread ful fear impending over them. When !Arty spirit ran high, a great many subjects were necessarily excluded from such meetings, but this evening , iome had been discussed he was sure with great advantage to those present. He would not pre tend to follow the Noble Lord into the field which he had so treacherously opened. A perfect sense of subordination would preclude him from doing so; hut he must express his deep regret that the Noble Lord (Earl Fitz william) had not with that deep pro priety, and with that courtesy which was usual in Parliament, given a previous intimation of his inten tion to put the questions he had introduced — (Laughter and applause)—because it did so happen that he (Mr. Ward) had come down in the train with the only individual in whose department it was to answer such questions. He had come down in the express train with Lord Palmerston—(Loud applause and laughter.) If the Noble Lord hid intimated his intention to put such questions, the Noble Foreign Secretary would no doubt have been in attendance to give the required information ; he would have made his excuses to the Queen for not being ready to enter upon his Court duties as he was commanded, and there was little doubt but that he would have given them on that occasion a second edition of hi: cele brated Tiverton speech—(Loud applause and laughter.) He (Mr. Ward) however was much obliged to the Noble Lord (Earl Fitz william) for the variety which he had given to the customary proceedings of such occasions, by giving expression to the feelings of hi heart on subjects of so much importance. lie was a man of independent mind and thought, and in the habit ot expressing his ideas without reservation,: and he (Mr. Ward) knew no place where he could more suitably have done it than before the party which his presence graced that evening.—(Applause.) Ile repeated that he could not presume to trench upon ground which i 7 was not his duty as a subordinate to meddle with ; but he would make this observation, that if in the destiny of this country they were called upon to de fend her rights or to assert the rights of others, he hoped, and feared not, that the department of the service with which he was connected would not be found wanting to maintain the position which they might be called upon to take.—(Applause.) He said thi , , although he was as thoroughly a man of peace in his sentiments as the Master Cutler himself.—(Louil applause.) He had no wish for war, but he looked upon it that the greatest security for the tranquillity of Europe was connected with the navy estimates, coupled always with the services of such as the gal lant captain (Captain Jacob) whose laconicism in re sponding to a previous toast was so highly charac teristic of his profession.—(Laughter.) . A number of other toasts were then drank, and the meeting separated at half-past ten o'clock.— Abridged from the Sheffield Times. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTI TUTE. A meeting of the shareholders of the British and Foreign Institute, was held yesterday, at their rooms, 13, George-street, Hanover-square ; W. Camps, Esq., AI.D., in the chair, when the accounts were. audited, and the following financial results confirmed. The total liabilities of the concern, including all the expenses connected with the winding up of its affairs, amountA. to 108/. 1 ls. sd. The total pro ceeds of the sale of the property amounted to 1,6611. 18s. 6d., leaving, therefore, a surplus for the shareholders of 2531. 7s. ld., after the payment of all its debts in full. In addition to this there has been repaid to the life members of the institute, as the residue of thQlr re ipective life commulations, the sum of 4,5541. 9s. 9d , which was invested in Government S e curities in 1844, when Consols w ere at 99k, and sold out in 1847, when Consols were at 89—at a loss of more than 10 per cent. The original estimate of the expenses of supporting the institute was 2,5001, per annum ; and it may he mentioned, as a rare occurrence, that this estimate was never once exceeded, the actual expenses of each year varying but little, yet keeping aI.A ays below the sum named. The list of defaulters who were in arrear in the payment of their subscriptions, but against whom. from technical difficulties, no shoved proceedings can be had for their recovery, an aggreg to amount of 2,9741. Gs. Gd. d ue to the iAstitute, ssi that if all parties had fulfilled their s. engagements the con cern would have been as fl ou rishing in its finances, as it is admitted to have been well-conducted and ac ceptable to all those who enjoyed its privileges. A statement was also produced - of the sums relin quished and expended by Mr. Buckingham, the resi dent director, out of his own private means, for the benefit of the institute, and never charged to or re imbursed out of its funds, which amounted to 1,350/. lls. 11d., in addition to the devotion of his entire time and labour to the direction of the instituteemolu - fur a period of nearly fi ve years, without salary or ment of any kind beyond the occupation of apart ments on the premises. The sense entertained of this gentleman's services, however, by those of the members who were most conversant with the affairs of the institute, is unequi vocally manifested by their contributions to a testi monial to Mr. Buckingham, amounting to about 7001., and though this is of course not a sum that could either compensate him for his time, or re imburse to him the actual expenses he has incurred, it is sufficient to prove that the contributors appreciate his fidelity in the guardianship of their interests, and wish to meet his retirement with a testimony of their respect and goodwill, as the best answer that they o co uld give to the various rumours and insinuations their dissatisfaction, and of the supposed failure of the institute, from any other cause than the failure of . so many of its proposed friends to fulfil their en , gagements.

DINBURGH AND BATHGATE RAILWAY. 'he half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday, at Edinburgh, Captain Stewart in the chair. lir. JOHNSTON, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the Deviation Bill obtained in last session for a portion of the main line would effect a very considerable saving, and the line would be shortened and otherwise improved. The progress of' the works in those portions of the main line already contracted for were in a satisfactory state; the re maining portion had been commenced. The directors bad received tenders for the execu tion of the branch line to Whitburn, the works on which would shortly be commenced. They - had also entered into contracts for supplying rails, chairs, sleepers, Sze. From the arrangements made, they hoped to be able to complete the whole works, with the exception of the Barrack's branch, and to have the line open for traffic in September, 1848. rangements bad likewise been made by the Wil sontown, Murningside, and Coltness Company, for effecting a junction of their line near Whitburii ; and as that line and the cominueicating line to the west ward were fitted to the same gauge, a considerable traffic was expected to ari-e from so valuable a con nexion, which would be mutually advantageous. The directors announce that amicable relations had been established with the Edinburgh slid Glasgow Company. The accounts to the 31st of July showed that 58,0791. had keen receive:, and 2103/. ixpended, leaving a balance of 36.3861. The CHAIRNAN Said that the works were progressing favourably, and he had no doubt that in the c4 , urse of next year the railway would be compltted and opened for traffic. After whi( h the report was adopted. and resolutions were passed allowing the directors 3001. per annum, re-electing the retiring auditor, and fixing — the salary of the secretary at 2501 per annum. The meeting was then declared special for the purpose of considering the propriety of ratifying an agreement entered into for an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. It was stated that the directors, , after various meetings with, the directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company, had arranged an agreement be twees the two companies for an amalgamation, to the effect that the directors should complete the main line and branches, the calls to be made so as not to retard the works, and that interest at the rate of four „per cent. per annum should he allowed on deposits . l and calls, that a bill be ap plied for next sessions for an amalgamation with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. The terms were to exchange one 501. share of the latter company for two shares of the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company, on condition that the latter shall also pay to the former an additional sum or premium of 21. 10s. per share, the Bathgate shareholders being entitled to the rateable proportion of any new stock the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company may create in the interval. Until the amalgamation shall have been completed the board of the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company is to consist of an equal number of d irectors of both companies, one half of them holding stock in the one company only; and the other half in the other com pany. The CHAIRMAN said, that it gave him great plea. sure to perceive that the agreement had been so uni versally approved by the shareholders ; the only cir cumstance he regretted was, that they must part with three of their directors to make room for three of the Edinburgh and Glasgow directors, because they had always been unanimous in their proceedings. The agreement for the amalgamation was then unanimously adopted, after which the meeting sepa rated. . PARISH OP HACHNEY.--Yesterday the church wardens, overseers, and several of the old inhabitants • of the parish of Hackney, accompanied by the vestry , clerk and several general officers 01 the parish, according to a custom practised from a very early periyd, and which has been continued without intermission, accord ing to the parochial records, in every seventh year up to the present time, proceeded to inspect and mark the . several boundaries of the parish, the ancient custom of bumping being adopted, one of the parishioners being ' taken up in the arms of two others, and bump. d three times against each boundary clone, amidst huzzas of those around ; the right of way through various lanes, pathways, canals, and rivers bong also, assert. d by tie p. risk' authori - es m o b ets f om botiedaries on eat h side of the New ltiver and t 6- Regent'.

To PREVENT DRowNING.—At this season of the year, wnea so Realty accidents occur from persons bath atr, the following remarks may prevent the loss of life:—Men are drownt d by raising their arms above water, the unhueyed weight of which depresses the head. Animals have neither motion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. - When a man falls into deep 'water be will rise to the surface, • and continue there if he does cot elevate his hands. It he moves his hands under water in any manner he pleases, his head ail! rise so high as to allow him liberty to breathe; and if be move Ins It gs as in the act of walk ing up stairs, his shoulders will rise above the water, so that he may use less exertion with his hands, ( r apply them to other purposes. Persons not having learned to swim in their youth will find the above plain directions highly advantageous. FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—Oa Wednesday, the 95th ale, as the coach from Aberfeldy to Rannoch was on its way to the latter, place, the pin holding one of the fore-wheels upon the axletree got disengaged, and the wheel fell off. The driver was in cons( quell.* pitched f r om the box, and the hasps, feeling themselves thus set free, ran off in the direction of Dalloist. There were t w o passengers in '.be conveyance at the time—Mr. Macgregor, inspector of the poor of the parish of Dull, and another person, The latter luckily also escaped not much injured; 'out Mr. Macgregor, in attempting to jump out, fell• head foremost 'against a stone. Medical assistance was procured as soon as possible, but it was of no avail, as death ensued in about five hours after the accident, happened. The horses galloped on to Foss, two railes and a half distant, dragging t h e empty con vi ante, without the occurrence of further accident.— Pa th Advertiser.
