PENINSULAR and ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. Capital One Million, in Shares of 501. each (one-fourth already paid-up and invested.) This Company has been formed fur the purpose of carrying on the communication, by means of Steam Navigation, between England and British India and other stations under the limits of the charter of incorporation applied for, as well as the esta blished line of steam-vessels now conveying the mails to the Peninsula under contract with her Majesty's Government. The Company's contracts with her Majesty's Government embrace the conveyance of the India mails between England and Alexandria, also the mails and despatches between Malta and the lonian Islands and between England and the Peninsula, for which services the Government have contracted to pay 66,8001, per annum.

It is alreadypossessed of property in steam shipping in profitable employment to a large amount. 2d. fhe management is under the direction of parties who have a competent knowledge ofall the details connected with steam navigation, derived from sixteen years' practical expe rience. 3d. An important branch of the Company's business arises from an already established intercourse with the Peninsula. 4th. ft is in possession of two advantageous mail contracts with Government. The Company being already provided with the establishment necessary for carrying on its present operations and existing mail contracts, the additional vessels required for extending the communication to India will be contracted for as soon as the Royal charter of incorporation, which has been applied for, shall have passed the Great Seal. The Directors only intend to issue at present a limited num ber of shares at par, any further issue being reserved until after the payment of a dividend, when, from the circumstances and prospects of the concern, no doubt is entertained that the shares will command a high premium. The conditions required by the Lords of the Privy Council in respect of the bona fide property and paid-up capital of the Company having been complied with to their Lordships' satis faction, the Directors rely on their application for a Royal charter being agreed to, but it is not deemed expedient at pre sent to issue a prospectus. Proposals from the majority of the Subscribers to the Ben gal Steam Fund, for a union with this Compauy, have been lately received by the Directors, are now under consideration, and which there is little doubt will terminate favourably. In the mean time, a vessel of 1,600 tons, and 500 horses power, has been contracted for by their London Agents, to form the first of a line of vessels, of similar size, to run between Cal ,7utta, Madras, Ceylon, and Suez.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. PUBL IC HEALTH.—The Fruit Season having advanced to that period when it becomes of the first importance to make choice of such beverages for ordinary use as shall be most conducive to the preservation of health, J. T. BETTS and Co. feel that they will not be considered obtrusive in again calling the at tention of the Public to their PATENT BRANDY, and to the necessity of acting upon the advice of the Faculty, in substituting weak Brandy and 'Water, for Beer, and other Fermentable Liquors, the cost of which will not exceed that of good malt liquor, while its peculiar wholesome properties are guarded by Patent right, and by the Testimonials of many eminent Chemists, after a searching analysis. These Certificates have been frequently submitted to the Public notice since its introduction in 1829, and from its established reputation, and general adoption by all ranks and classes, the Patentees are only anxious that the Public should bear in mind that their sole Establishment is the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield-bars, leading to St. John-street, where the Patent Brandy may be obtained either Pale or Coloured, at Ei g hteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, for Cash on delivery.

ART. ( # :4" EVENING among the injured. - If free and speedy intercommuni cation by letter be a national good, the commercial and public man, the anxious parent, the home-staying wife, the physician who could heal and the patient who might be relieved, are shut out by a priestly fraud from the knowledge of what is in the world, for fourteen per cent. of the days of their lives. The writer of this, though none of these more remarkedly than his neigh bours, has suffered to the value of many thousand pounds by the sacerdotal obstructions on the post alone, and would readily submit to the most onerous of Jew ish rites, if it would place him in the status quo. But it is on the working classes that the evil falls with intolerable weight. They arc robbed of the day, which bound as they are on other days to ceaseless toil, is their all, the sole of time allowed them whereby to differ from a steam-engine or a mill-horse. There will be no good done till the working classes set up the cry of " Huzza for St, Paul and the Con fession of Augsburg ; and ao Thomas of Canter. bury !" Whenever they dare set themselves in oppe sitien to suderstitious and antichristian prejudice as their fathers did, there will be no difficulty in making a reasonable settlement with conflicting cia:ms fur rest. Sailors like well to sleep in the middle watch ; but they do not therefore insist on being all asleep at once. Get rid of the antichristian prejudice, and there would be little difficulty in legislative regulation which should ensure to every man his day of rest. Public men have certainly not taken up this question by the right end. Sonic of them are understood to prc fess small reverence for the rule ; but that is no reason why they should let go the long end of the lever, con sisting in the power of examining how far the demands of an encroaching sect agree with its own rule, where the case has become one of civil oppression and public suf fering. As an instance, there is no difficulty in enter ing into the question between the Wahabees (who are a kind of Mohammedan Lutherans) and the dominant sect ; it is within every man's compass to foem a pretty good judgment, whether a command or a prohibition is in the Kenna or not. Finally, I must take the opportunity to defend my self from the charge of having entered on this question needlessly, or conducted it with a disregard for public prejudice whether right or wrong. It was forced on me, first by accident, and afterwards by ill treatment and consequent inquiry, as is the usual round. A few years ago, and I verily thought I did God service, by flying in the face of an Apostle to please an Arch bishop. While I sat for Hull, a deputation was sent to urge me to oppose in Committee the closing of their railroad. Perhaps you think they were my own pari ie eulars, sent by some understanding with myself. They were not ; they were the then or lately Conservative town-:•lork, and the since Conservative Member for the East Riding. And they stood over me while I did my work. So fsaid, which was quite true, that when I was going out Governor to Sierra Leone in 1808, Mr. Wil berforce told me he did not believe Sunday was of divine ordinance, but he thought it was an excellent politi cal iesttution. Some of the bigots, thinking to frighten me, brought it up afterwards in the House. But they caught a Tartar ; for I only told it again. After this, came abuse of various kinds ; and it is only the other day you saw my Manchester libeller, if we may judge from his printed hand, calling me infidel, by which he means dog. But as has happened in other cases, it all drove nie to looking into the matter more closely. Su once more, " Huzza for St. Paul and the Confession of Augsburg ;" and if the dominant sect will not hear reason, we will make them when we are strong enough, as our fathers the before us. I remain, Sir, yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Louden, •13d August, 1840. PRICE sd. We will give the chapter referred to in a future number; SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER.—FitinA V.

In comparing it with the weekly deaths i u 1840, it must be borne in mind that the metropolis in_ creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if the population had been the same in 1 S3B as in 1540, the deaths would have been 1-27th part more numerous.
