His Excellency had crossed the Rei with a strong and well-appointed force, and with a firm determination to obtain some compensation for the losses of the colonists and the expenses of Government. His Excellency had demanded of Kreli 15,000 head of cattle as a penalty for his treatment of the British resident agent, and for permitting the cattle carried off from the colony to be driven into his territory, of which it is affirmed the Governor has the most ample proof. With regard to the military movements the accounts state that Colonel Somerset has made a further capture in Kreli's country of 2,000 head of cattle, and that Pato very narrowly escaped capture. This notorious chief, with a number of his followers, got surrounded during a thick mist, Colonel Somerset himself being so near as to discharge a pistol at him, but unfortunately without effoct. O ne or two other ' shots were fired at him, but still he seems to have escaped unhurt. The result of this affair is stated to be about forty of the enemy killed, and the capture of the number of cattle stated. - Accounts from the districts of Somerset and Graaff Reinet state that that part of the country had been visited by some of the most frightful thunder-storms ever experienced in that quarter. Much damage has been done to the standing crops, whole corn fields being washed away in some instances. Much loss has also been done to stock. One farmer, Mr. J. Malan, in Zwager's Hoek, had 1,600 sheep washed away and drowned. Mr. Hartzenburg, it is said, has lost nearly all the stock he possessed, and many other farmers have lost stock. The hail which accompanied the rain is described as being tremendous—whole tracts of country over which the storm passed were stripped of vegetation —the Karoo bushes being literally pounded, and the bark stripped off the Mimosa trees. The Sunday river has not been known to he so full for ten years—the Vogel, Little, and Great Fish, and nearly all the smaller rivers are flooded over the banks. There is a general order, we are informed, congratu l at i ng the troops on the probable speedy termination of their labours—the tribes west of the Ket having been subdued, and the only re sisting chief having been driven with loss over that river. It is said that the 90th, 91st, and 27th regiments will go home immediately. The dispatches to his Excellency the Governor, an nouncing his supersession, and the appointment of Sir Henry Pottinger, reached him at Butterworth ; and a communication has been forwarded to Port Elizabeth for her Majesty's ship Nimrod to be in Waterloo Bay on the 14th, to receive his Excellency, who thus purposes to avoid the fatigue consequent on the overland route. ATTACK UPON MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—On Tues day an Irishwoman died in this hospital, whose body the surgeons deemed it necessary to open, her death having oc curred under suspicious circumstances. Thursday night her husband, accompanied by a large body of Irishmen and Irish women, went to the hospital with a coffin, and insisted upon getting the body, and when the officers of the hospital re fused, the mob threatened to take it force, and were about executing their threat when the police arrived, and they were partly terrified and partly dissuaded from so doing. This is the second attack that has been made within two months on the hospital, with the same intent. SUDDEN DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—An inquest was held yesterday before Mr. William Carter, the Coroner, at the John Bull tavern, Tyer's-street, Lambeth, on the body of Margaret Molton, aged seventy years, the wife of a cow keeper, lately residing at N 0.19, Tyer's-street, who died under very sudden circumstances. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased was blind, but generally enjoyed good health. On Monday afternoon last she was engaged at the wash-tub, when she suddenly fell to the ground, as if from a fit. The landlady's son, who happened to be in the room, ran to her aid, and raised her up, but she was quite insen sible. Mr. Smyth, of Lambeth-walk, surgeon, was called in, but she never rallied, and died shortly afterwards, from an attack of apoplexy, most probably resulting from over ex citement in her domestic duties. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from natural causes." BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday last, the 18th instant, at Great Oakley, the wife of Inspector Raison, of a daughter, being her fourth child within two years and four raonths.—Essex Standard. ACCIDENT AT THE YEW TREE COLLIERY, KING. SWlNFORD.—Yesterday (Tuesday) seven boys were sent down the shaft early in the morning to brush out the sulphur, when i n a short tim e a ft er t h e i r descent, owing to a candle being in the back ground, an explosion of gas took place, which so dreadfully burnt them, that little or no hopes are entertained of their recovery.-- Worcester Journal. EXPLOSION OF A COAL MINE. —Wednesday morn ing, an explosion took place in some coal mines belonging to B. Gibbons, Esq., Shut -end, which, we are informed, burnt seven individuals, some of whom are so seriously injured that their recovery is despaired of.— Worcester Chronicle. PARISH OF ST. GILES, CRIPPLEGATE.-- The Vicarage of St. Giles', Cripplegate, which has just become vacant by the death of the Rev. F. W. Blomberg, D.D. will be conferred by th e D ean an d Ch apter of St. Paul's on the Venerable William Hale Hale, M.A., Archdeacon of London, and Master of the Charterhouse. The benefice is worth 2,0001. per annum, its actual value at the time of Dr. Blomberg's appointment being nearly 2,500/. per an num. Part of this amount, however, was given tip by the Rev. Gentleman, as a permanent endowment for the poor of the parish. Divine service was performed at the parish church yesterday afternoon, and a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Turner, the Lecturer on the Haberdashers' Company's gift, but not the slightest allusion was made to the painful IHE -KOTA L TAI:ILES AT Is INnson.--Smee the discovery of the dry-rot throughout the extensive boarding around the riding school at the royal mews, at Windsor (the whole of which has recently been entirely removed, and the kamptalicon substituted), it has been found that the wooden divisions of the stalls and other portions of the wood-work in the royal stables are simila r ly a ff ecte d. I n severa l of the stables - the stalls have been newly constructed, and it is feared, in consequence of the inroais made by the rot, that the whole will have to be removed and undergo a similar process. ALARMING Fißn A T PIMLICO.—Last night, be tween ten and eleven o'clock, a fire, that caused considerable alarm, broke out upon the premises in the occupancy of Mr. Gumbleton, boot and shoemaker, Grosvenor-row, Pimlico. The flames originated from some unknown cause in the front shop, and were first perceived by a police- constable. An immediate alarm was raised, and messengers were sent tu give intelligence of the outbreak to the engine-stations; meanwhile the fire continued to spread, so that in a very brief space of time the w h o l e o f th e s t oc k i n the shop be came wrapped in one broad sheet of flame. With all possible expedition, one of the escapes of the Royal Society for the Protection of Life f rom Fi re arr i ve d , as we ll as several engines of the London Brigade, parish, and West of England office. Plenty of water was obtained, from which the firemen set to work most vigorously, but before they could get the mastery over the flames, the whole of the stock in trade was reduced to ashes. Fortunately, Mr. Gumbleton was insured in the Sun Fire-office. FROM THE GALLICIAN FRONTIERS, MARCH ) 1.-- The latest accounts from Vienna state, in regard to the future destiny of Cracow, that the important resolution h as b een taken to divide Gallicia into two distinct governments, viz., that of East and %Vest Gallicia, by which Cracow will be made the capital of the latter. The famine in the western circles of Gallicia, according to report, which we trust is exaggerated, has reached to such a fearful extent, that in some cases the starving people have seized upon the bodies of the dead and devoured them, in order to escape from the agonising death of perishing from hunger. WASTE OF SILVER.—To put the silver edging to muslin, which is always torn off and thrown away before converting the material to use, costs the country 20,000/. a year.— The Builder. Captain Henry Eden, R.N., Private Secretary to the Earl of Auckland, First Lord of the Admiralty, left town this morning, for Edinburgh, where ,the gallant officer re mains during the Easter holidays. Mr. Cailey, M.P., is suffering under a severe at tack of influenza and fever, which disables him at present from attending to his parliamentary duties. THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT Cor.Lisrox.---An inquest was held at Gravesend, pursuant to adjournment, on Friday, to inquire into the cause of death of two men, late of the schooner Rose, which was run down by the Royal Victoria Leith steam-ship, in the Thames, off Hole Haven, on the morning of the 28th ult. It was fully proved that the place in which the unfortunate schooner was at anchor is one in which shipping ordinarily resort, as being sheltered from the wind, and out of the ordinary track of the navigation, and the circumstances of the accident were detailed in almost the same terms as when first noticed in our columns. It was endeavoured/to be proved that the collision was produced only by the steam-ship not answering her helm as readily as might have been expected, but this evidence did not seem to satisfy the jury, who returned a verdict of Manslaughter against David Micklereid, the commander, and appended a recommendation that vessels should be navigated at less speed during the night. SUPPOSED MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.---YeS terday afternoon, whilst Mr. Baker, the coroner, was hold ing' an inquest in Bath - street , City - road, information was communicated to him of such a character as to justify th e suppos ition that a young woman had been most sav age l y murdered. It appears that between twelve and one o'clock that morning (Friday) a couple of men were engaged a cesspool in a narrow court run n i ng f rom Golden-lane to Whitecross-street, and known by th e name o Ge f no' Broad-yard. Shortly after they had commenced opera tions they came in contact with what they at first imagined to be the body of a newly-born child, but which upon fur ther search turned out to be a full-grown woman. The men immediately gave information of the discovery, and after considerable trouble the body was got out. Life was totally extinct. The deceased, who had the whole of her clothing on, even her bonnet, was removed to the workhouse of St. Luke, in the ;City-road, where the master of the house ordered the body to be stripped and washed. Th e d eceased was at once identified by the master as being a p oor creature who bad occasionally obtained relief of the parish. Sh e had been living a dissipated life, and had been f or some time cohabiting with a man whose name at prese n t i t would not be prudent to give. The unfortunate deceased was 29 years of age, and her name Elizabeth Robinson. She is the daughter of a respectable family living at Hoxton. As soon as `the ; body was washed, marks about the head, and f e n exr a . t t i r o a n Ov an i it thea N t v i a n al left e mp r eo person rrce eedn minute ato slight ah s i fo o u f nd bl t oo ha d t , were visible, which led to the belief th a t f oul play bad been side e ee of a e the n n a d c f e t o n e r m h b e a y a k d a i n n was t a h that side of the forehead and else a portion of the h c eek was extensively bruised, as if th e poor creature had been violently struck whilst alive with some h eavybludgeon. - Upon re moving the hair on the head - a little, a severe wound was dis covered upon the crown, but it is quite possible that this in jury might have beetioccasioned by striking her head against the wall in her descent, but from the fact of the bruises on the forehead bleeding after th e bo d y was washed, it is quite ' certain that they must have been inflicted during life. The Coroner gave orders to have the body opened, and a jury to be summoned. WAHEFIELD CORN MARkET.-- FRIDAY.—The sup ply of wheat this week is small, and of other articles mode rate. There is a fair inquiry for wheat, and a disposition to do business at' some reduction, but holders are firm, and re quire last week's prices.

Extract from the " Times" of November 9, 1844 : " DI:. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected Auctioneer and Land Valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled, ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks. on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' The 'Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following cha racter of its author :—' Mr. Simpson, we need scarcely remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast expe rience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense, which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, al most as a matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed as much, per haps, as any man in his time, to improve her resources, by encou raging the investment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' " March 17. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE, and NAVAL and MILITARY JOURNAL, for APRIL, 1847.

The Select Committee appointed to consider the merits of the Bills comprised in this group re-assembled in Room 30, at the usual hour this morning; Lord Granville Somerset in the chair. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RENT'S)" SCUEMES• Mr. Stephenson's cross-examination by Mr. TALBOT was brought to a close this morning. His evidence in chief re mained unshaken. Mr. Stephenson was cross-examined by Mr. Horn, on be half of Sir Percival Hard Dyke, but all that was elicited was, that the S out h-E astern Mid Kent line of last year, was on a par with the Brighton scheme of this year. The pre sent South-Eastern scheme, however, in every point of view, was superior to either. Sir Percival Hard Dyke was the oc cupier of a park on the Mid Kent line, which would cost the South-Eastern Company 100,0001. to avoid. Mr. Burton, the architect, was called to prove that the railway would do none but imaginary injury to Sir. P. H. Dyke's house and park. The Committee adjourned at half-past four till te-morrow (this day) at twelve. GROUP XII. This Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock, the Hon, W. S. Lascelles in the chair. THE CHESTERPORD AND NEWMARKET (EXTENSION TO suivrroltD, WITH BRANCHES TO BURY ST. EDMUNDS AND ELY). The Committee, on assembling to-day, proceeded with the clauses of the two Bills of the Chesterford and Newmarket Company, the preamble of which had been proved on Tues day last. Mr. AUSTIN tendered several clauses in behalf of the Ipswich Company, in relation to the junction which the Cheatorford and Newmarket Railway ehotold malro with the line of the former company at their station at Bury . St. Edmunds, or in relation to some other matters. Mr. HILMAR') objected to Mr. Austin being heard. The company for which the Hon. Member appeared had been. defeated, and therefore he had no locus standi. The Committee decided that the clauses should be taken into consideration. The first clause, which regulated the junction at Bury St. Edmunds, was agreed to; also, the compelling the comple tion of the line in five years, or, in default, that they should not be entitled to charge for any such portion of the line that remained unfinished. The other clause proposed were rejected. The remaining clauses of the Bills were then agreed to. NEWMARKET AND CHESTERFORD RAIL WAY AMENDMENT ACT, &c. This was an application to Parliament made by the Eastern Counties Company, to repeal a clause in the New market and Chesterford Act, obtained last session, which gave the latter company a right to run over the Eastern Counties line from Cambridge and Chest er f or d t o London. It was alleged that the Eastern Counties line had received no notice of the intention to propose such a clause, and had not been parties to it. _ _ Mr. AUSTIN opened the case, stating briefly the object of he Bill. Mr. TYRRELL, the solicitor of the Newmarket and Chester ford Company, was heard in reply. The Committee decided in favour of the Bill. The CHAIRM&N was then instructed to report the Bills, with the amendments, to the House. This having closed the business of the Committee, the Members separated.

This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, the common symptoms of which are costiveness, fiatnlency, spasms, loss of appe tite, sick head-ache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness of the eyes, drowsiness, and pains in the stomach and bowels. In digestion, producing a torpid state of the liver, and a consequent inac tivity of the bowels, causing a disorganization of every function of the frame, will, in this most excellent preparation, by a little perse verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of Its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy action of the liver, bowels, and kidneys will rapidly take place ; and, instead of listlessness, heat, pain, and jaun diced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed health, will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to the directions ac companying each box ; and if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose. Persons of a full habit, who are subject to head-ache, giddiness, drowsiness, and singing in the ears, arising from too great a flow of blood to the bead, should never be without them, as many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use. For Females these Pills arc most truly excellent, removing all ob structions ; the distressing Head-ache, so very prevalent with the sex ; depresSion of spirits, dulness of sight, nervous affections, blotches, pimples, and sallowness of the skin, and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. . _ As a pleasant, safe, easy aperient, they unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no restraint of diet or confinement during their use; and for Elderly People they will be found to be the most comfortable medicine hi- therto prepared. Sold by T. Front, 229, Strand, London. Price, Is. I%cl. and 28.9 d. per box, and by the venders of medicines generally throughout the kingdom.

The METALLIC TABLET STROP was invented in the year 1816, by George Saunders, of New York, and was favourably re ceived by the public as far surpassing any other Razor Strop. The first cutlers in Europe, after trial, have acknowledged its superiority, and many use it in preference to the Hone, the efect being much more powerful, and requires neither oil or water. A keen, smooth edge to a razor, so necessary to shave with comfort, is obtained and kept without having recourse to any other means. The American Institute for the Encouragement of Science, in con sideration of its superior value and qualities, awarded the Inventor a silver medal and diploma. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed :—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders's Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is, simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, Maacit 26.

This case came again before the attention of the Com mittee, having been adjourned for further consideration on two previous occasions. After hearing a number of wit nesses, the Committee decided that the standing orders had been complied with, and the Bill was allowed to proceed. The Committee then adjourned at four o'clock. SHREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. The second ordinary general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern; the Hon. Mr. Clive in the chair. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement calling the meeting, submitted the report, from whilch we make the fol lowing extracts : "The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company, which was announced at the last general meeting, has since been completed by the registration of class B shareholders, who are now required to elect six directors, being one-third of the maximum number prescribed by the Act of Incorporation, and to fix the remuneration to be paid to the same. The agreement between the two companies stipulates that each shall pay its own expenses prior to amalgamation ; but as this would have been cancelling so much of the capital of the two companies without any advantage to either, and would be unfair te , in the event of the being hereafter leased - Dr company, it was ~ ro e.r to credit the shareholders of class B rharea ',all the _furl deposit originally paid by them, and to charge the ex penses of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Company to the joint scheme between Shrews bury and Wolverhampton, in which both classes of share holders are equally interested. On the same principle, the directors consider that the bonus of 26,000/. obtained on amalgamation with the Dudley and 111adeley Company should be added to the capital of class A shareholders, instead of its being deducted from the expenses incurred up to the date of incorporation, which will then appear at the amount actually expended. I n conformity with this opinion, a resolution will be s u bmitt e d t o the present meeting, adding 10s. per share to the paid up capital of class A share holders, which, if the same is adopted, will hereafter stand in the company's books at 31. 10s. per share. The proportion of expenses incurred by this company in respect of the Bir mingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley line has been duly claimed in virtue of the agreement between the two com panies, but the items constituting the same, and amounting to 33,684/. Bs. 4d., have not yet been examined, and consequently the claim has not yet been agreed to by the Stour Valley Com pany. The directors of this company, however, have considered the amount claimed as forming part of the first call of V. 18s. per share made by the Stour Valley Company, and having paid the difference, the balance-sheet of this company shows the sum of 69,3751. as contributed towards the capital sub scribed by class A shareholders. The amalgamation with the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire company being completed, the authorised subscribed capital of the company will stand as follows: — "Class A shares, representing one-half of the capital, to be raised between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, v i z 500,000 And amount authorised to be subscribed towards the capital of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Company, viz Together £BOO,OOO or 15/. 7s. 9d. per share. Class B Shares, representing the other half of the capital, to be raised between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, viz .................................. or 91. 128. 3d. per share. 500,000 Total capital ..............................£1,300',000 The directors are proce e di ng w ith the main line as fast as the nature of the works will admit. The contracts for the part between Shrewsbury and Wellington (held jointly with the Shropshire Union Con3pallY), and for the part between Wellington and Shiffnall, have both been let to respectable contractors under the Parliamentary estimates. The directors have made a call of 1!. 15s. per share on class B shares, payable on the 15th April ; and it is intended to make a call of 21. 10s. per share on class A shares, payable in August next ; it is expected that no further call on class A shares will be required this' year, a l t h ou gh that must depend on the progress ma d e with the works both of this company and those of the Stour Valley Company. Interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum will be payable on the deposit and calls; but 'no interest will accrue in respect of calls in arrear. Interest warrants to the 13th inst., when the transfer books were closed, will be issued on the 10 th Ap ril." The Off AIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, apologised for the absence of Mr. Gore, the chairman of the company, who was unavoidably kept away by illness. He congratulated the meeting that they had the good fortune of uniting with their opponents, and they were now engaged in effecting one common object. He trusted the result would be beneficial to the public and the proprietors. He was glad to state that they had a balance of 84,597/. to proceed with their future operations. In August next there would be a call made, which was strictly in con formity with the promises held out by the directors. He was also happy to congratulate the meeting on the circumstance that ss. per share had covered the expenditure, which was just one-half of what had been estimated. The Honourable amalgamation moved that the withs um u p d e l r e yD share and received Chairman having adverted to the future proceedings company, as detailed in the report , moved the adoption of eCdri asn the report and its circulation. The motion was unanimously agreed to. Theeh, of the l a lu bonus on then Madeley Companies. be added to the paid _up capital of class A shareholders. _ . Tbis;;;OfiTtiOn - Was unanimously agreed to. SPECIAL MEETING. The meeting was then made special for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors the draft of a )proposed Bill to enable the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Com pany to make branch railways to Bladeley and Ironbridge, and to join the London and North-Western Railway, and for other purposes. Also for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors of class A shares the proposed terms of a lease of the Birming• ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway Company to the London and North-Western Company. Also for the purpose of class B shareholders electing direc tors and fixing the remuneration to be paid to the same. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, sanctioning the proposed Bladeley and Ironbridge line, which was unani mously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then put the next resolution, " That this meeting does not concur in the terms of lease of the Birming ham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Vall9y, line to the London agreed upon y empowers the a b n y d th N e or d t i h re - c l t V o e r s s te o r r n t C ho o s m e ptawnoy,caosmpparonsi-eiss,ioannadl directors of this company to oppose the same in Parliament." The resolution was unanimously agreed to. It was also moved that six gentlemen;e added to the directors of the company by class B shareholders, and that the remuneration to be paid to the same be 500/., which was agreed to. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. The advance made by the English capitalists to the Bank of France, and which is now in course of repay ment, has been generally understood to have been 800,0001. It appears, however, that the amount was 1,000,000/, whicb, under present circumstances, is so much the more fa vourable. Of this sum about 300,0001. .or . more is believed to remain in this country, the tratenustlon haying been delayed. S Ny MARCH 27, 1847. THAMES HAVEN AND DOCK COMPANY. An adjourned meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at one o'clock; Mr. Esdaile in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, a report was made' to the meeting, the substance of which is as follows :—The directors congratulated the share holders on the improved prospects of the concern since the last meeting, and stated that there was every probability that capitalists might now be induced to take an interest in the undertaking. The ground for the dock has already been purchased, and as it would be advisable to have a rail way from Orsett to Tilbury, a distance of five miles, the directors had to state that the Eastern Counties Railway Company have projected a line train Ilford to Tilbury, which the shareholders were recommended to give a vigorous oppo sition to in Parliament. On the whole it was believed that the concern was both prosperous and promising. The amount of money received on deposits and calls, and from other resources, is 30,4801. 19s. 7d. The money expended has been—for preliminary expenses, 895/. Is. 7d.; for Par • liamentary expenses,.l,B97/.lls. ; law expenses, 3,9141.95. 7d. ; for purchase of land, 4,833/. 175.; excavation and expense of contractors, 3,02(4. 4s. 7d.; snaking up with the other inci dental expenses and salaries of officers an outlay of 30,433/. 9s. 10d., leaving a balance of cash in hand of 444. 9s. 9d. After some little discussion the report was unanimously adopted. It was then proposed that J. Barclay, Esq., Robert Ewart Norman, Esq., and Benjamin hill, Esq., the directors re tiring by rotation, be re-elected,' but on an amendment being put by Mr. Merritt, Louis Pocock, Andrew Inderwick, and J. W. West, Esqs., were substituted for them. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution, that the scheme of the Eastern Counties Railway Company for a line from Ilford to Tilbury be strenuously opposed in Parliament. This resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. AMSINCK objected to the legality of the meeting, as, ac cording to his view, it was necessary that the directors should have the written consent of every one of the old shareholders to render its proceedings legal. Besides, many of the shares had been issued at a discount. Mr. CHADWICK thought that this was no ground of objec tion, ibr It was a avanivuo fact that many - companies had issued their shares at a discount, and, to announce no other, he might allude to one of the Sheffield companies. Mr. AMSINCK complained that his share had been sold with out his consent, and contended that none of their proceedings could be legal, inasmuch as they never had had a sufficient number of shareholders to, legalise any meeting. After some further discussion, the new directors expressed their willingness to accept the office to which they had been appointed. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. AMICABLE ASSEMBLIES. The last for the season of these brilliant reunions took place in the large room of the London Tavern last evening, when about three hundred of the elite were assembled. The present is the eleventh season of the society, which is connected with the Literary Institu tion, Aldersgate•street, and is one of its most attractive branches. The arrangements for the supper were liberal. The greatest praise is due to the stewards, Messrs. Britten, jun., Harris, Fryer, Singer, and Bar nard. For everything appertaining to the due regula tion of such a select society the Amicable Assembly is decidedly a model. Mr. Adams' band was in attendance, and dancing was kept up to a late, or rather early, hour in the morning. SANATORY REFORM. A public meeting of the Liberties of Westibinster Sanatory Association was held yesterday evening, at the Western Literary Institution, Leicester-square; the Right Hon. Lord Ashley in the chair. The attendance was not very large. The CHAIRMAN said that it gave him great pleasure to meet those assembled on the present occasion, who had for their object the improvement of the physical condition of the people, and through the improvement of the physical condition of the people, the improvement of their mental condition. Whatever facts could be adduced on this question could only go to show the false principles upon which they had hitherto proceeded. When they considered how large a portion of the popu• lation was affected by this question, it was sufficient to invest the question with importance. Throughout the metropolis they found a want of ventilation, and this want was well known to be the cause of want of health. He considered that the want of attention to subjects like the present was one of the greatest impediments to human improvement that existed. It was well known the effects which the noxi ous influences which were at present permitted to exist, without any control or any attempt at prevention, were injurious not only to human life, but even to the pe cuniary condition of the community. The circumstances to which he alluded were attested by the physician in their natural effects ; but there was a higher considera tion, namely, that of the eternal welfare of the community. To prove the injurious effects of what they all depre catvd they had only to consult the ministers of religion, who could testify to the depraving effects of the present MTN' NA P ariteifiitits""Oriliteinperan6e. IC& he Ito no doubt these very habits were induced by the perni cious atmosphere in which a large portion of the population resided, which had a tendency to produce lassitude and depression, which called for that Immediate stimulus which they could obtain. He did not mean to say that tha working chases of England alone had habits of intemperance peculiar, but if it ex isted to a greater extent than in any other classes, it was owing to circumstances among which there was none more powerful than the want of ventilation, which, as he had already stated, was calculated to produce in temperance. Ile thought that, under these circum stances, nothing could better deserve the attention of the public or the interference of the Legislature than the question they had assembled to promote. Dr. ALDIS moved the following resolution:— -" That, in order to promote the physical and moral condition of the people, the meeting concurs in the ne cessity of the entire removal of cesspools, and a general introduction of water-closets, sewers, and drains, com bined with an ample supply of water at all seasons, at as high a pressure as shall bo found practicable and ne cessary, and that the health and social comforts of all classes would be improved by the daily cleansing of all streets, courts, yards, and alleys." Mr. COCHRANE seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Dr. GUY moved the following resolution:— " That hi consequence of .the deficiency of light and proper ventilation in the habitations of the poorer classes, as well as in all workshops and factories, this meeting believes it to be highly necessary for the improvement of the physical condition of the people that these important subjects should form a portion of any sanatory measure to be introduced into Parliament." Mr. JOHN MARSHALL seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. _ _ _ Dr. BRISDONE moved, and Mr. WALKER seconded, the following resolution, which was carried unani mously : " That, for the promotion of public health and de cency, the meeting urgently recommends the introduc tion of public, or gratuitous water-closets, for the ac commodation of the poor, the promotion of baths and washhouses, and the abolition of interments in towns." Thanks were voted to, and acknowledged by the Noble Chairman, after which the meeting separated. BANK' OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

Canfield , master , arrived with a cargo of Indian corn and meal for the Victualling-o ffi ce at this port. The Yumchi le ft Norfolk, Virginia, on the 22d of February last, and has experienced a succession of bad wea ther. She brought to this port Captain H. B. Davis and the crew of the barque Kennebeck, of New York, who were com pelled to abandon their ship and cargo at sea. The barque had experienced most severe weather, and sprung a danger. ous leak. On the 27th of February she was thrown on her beam ends, and the cargo became shifted, when, in order to right her, the fore and mainsail were both cut away, and part of the cargo thrown overboard. In this perilous situa tion they remained until Sunday, the 7th inst., when the Yumchi bore in sight, and seeing a signal of distress, bore down upon the wreck, and nobly took all hands on board; but owing to the strong gale and high sea then run ning, the crew were unable to save anything bat a few clothes. The poor men must have endured great hardship, and when fallen in with they were much exhausted from their incessant labour at the pumps. It is supposed that the barque must slimly' afterwards have sank.—Plymouth Journal. FRAMPTON'S PILL OP HEALTH—for bilious or sick headache, indigestion, and for the whole train of symptoms arising from a weak stomach, or vitiated bilious secretion, are pre-eminently successful. For costiveness, either habi tual.or temporary, they are admirable, and for elderly persons will prove the most agreeable medicine that can be taken They are used with the greatest advantage by either sex. and will therefore prove an excellent family pill; for, in any case where an aperient medicine is required, they need only be tried to be universally adopted.

SCOTCH EXCHANGE BANKS The following circular, which has lately been in course .of transmission by one of the Scotch Exchange Banks to solicitors and others in the different towns in the north, will account for much of the support which the share markets (in that part of the kingdom at least) continue to receive, and for the means by which calls are paid. It will be seen that not only are deposits in vited at 5 per cent interest, but that a commission (the amount of which is not stated, and which it may be in ferred is a matter of conscience and arrangement) is allowed to such professional gentle-men as ma) be suc cessful in persuading their clients to place their money at the disposal of th institution. Under these circum stances, allowing for expenses of management and profit, it would appear that the rate charged to the cus tomers of the bank can scarcely in any case be less than 7or 8 per cent.—a fact which, taken in conjunction with the implied circumstance that the securities advanced upon are of the " best description, would indicate a degree of pressure in the north beyond anything we have hitherto been aware of. As a large proportion of these advances are made, it is to be presumed, upon shares of incomplete lines, which at the best pay no more than 4 or 5 per cent. to the holders, it becomes an important question how long these parties will think it advisable to pay the extra rate charged by the bank, rather than to raise money by selling some part of what they possess. That the bank contemplate no speedy amelioration is evi denced by the fact that the commission to the profes sional gentlemen is allowed only upon their negociating deposits "likely to remain for some years, or at all events for not less than twelve months." It would also be interesting to learn the precise quality of the securi ties received by the institution, and also the margin pro vided for depreciation, although it is fair to remark that this is a point which the bank is in some measure en titled to keep to itself, since the temptation held out in the shape of guarantee to .depositors is not to much the soli dity of the pledges upon which its advances are made as the capital of the company, and the number and wealth of its partners." " Commercial Exchange Company, 66, St. Vincent-street, Glasgow, March 9. " Dear Sir, —I beg leave to inform you that the direc tors of this company have come to a resolution to ad vance the rate of interest allowed on deposits to five per cent. This will be intimated by circular to each depositor, and by advertisements in the newspapers, but I beg leave to trouble you with this special an nouncement. " The demand for money in our market still continues so ample on the best securities, that although no advance is contemplated on the fixed rate at which all loans granted by the company are charged, the directors are thus willing to allow to the depositors the full advantage of the present rise in the value of money. " In thus advancing the rate of interest paid by the company without any corresponding advance in the rate charged, there is an evident present loss of profit to the shareholders. But I hope and believe that this liberal policy will so increase the number of the company's customers and the amount of their transactions, that ulti mately the shareholders will be greater gainers than if the directors had pursued an opposite policy. "I shall, therefore, be obliged if you will take every means in your power to make it known among your friends and clients that, for such sums as can be invested for any considerable length of time, they may obtain an interest of 5 per cent. per annum, while their security is beyond all question, Rot only from the capital of the company, but from the number and wealth of its partners. " I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, " G. KINNEAR, Manager. " I beg leave to that a commission is allowed to professional gentlemen who negotiate deposits with the company, if the money is likely to remain for some years, or at all events for not less than twelve months, and it will give me much pleasure to treat with you on this footing." MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of March 26.) StroAa.—To-day a further fall ensued in the value of nearly every sort df Colonial Sugar, the quantity brought to market being more than the home trade could take off. Of West India Muscovado, the small quantity only of 200 hhds and tierces found buyers at lower rates, making the total sales for the week only 500 hhds and tierces, and the fall is during that time. RE;LNED.—To. day no further rise took place in the value of Refined Sugar, but all sorts are wanted for home use at former rates, and the supply is scanty. Bonded Crushed Sugar is with difficulty to be obtained under 37s per cwt for first quality, so scanty is the supply, and large the orders on hand unexecuted. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon two parcels of Mautitius Sugar, amounting to 11,429 .laags339 casks and 90 trcs were submitted to public competition, a fair proportion of which consisted of strong working descriptions ; for' even these there }vas less demand, and pi ices fell is per cwt ; yellow sorts met with little attention, and the sales taken were is to Is 6d per cwt under those of Tuesday's sale, on brown the fall Is. E&ee INDIA.—This afternoon 818 bags and 76 chests of Bengal Sugar were offered at public sale, and sold at about the former value. Madras is little wanted, and 1,413 bags at auction were taken in at moderate rates. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale, and pri vately only 159 cases of brown Macao were sold at 23s 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.—By private treaty there is only a limited de mand for West India; at public sale 171 puns Demerara were taken in at 23s for middling quality; 125 puns of Barbadoes at 25s for good ; 53 puns of St Kitts at 235, and 68 puns 6 birds St Vincents at 245, being about the former value. COFFEE.—This afternoon two parcels of Ceylon Coffee were submitted to public competition, and amounted to 1,550 bags. There was little desire shown to purchase, and a part only sold at a fall on former rates of 6d to Is. TEA.—AII kinds are cheaper than they were at this period in 1846, notwithstanding the large consumption. Congou met with little attention , although there are sellers at mode.. rate rates. Pouchong is little wanted. For Souchong the demand has been limited. The better descriptions of 'roving Hyson have been operated in with more freedom, and the parcels sold were at full rates. Of the lower sorts of Green large parcels have been sold, owing to the low rates that have been taken ; in good and fine a fair business has been done at about late prices. RICE.—To-day the market was in a dui/ state for East India Rice; and 1,304 bags Madras at auction were taken in is under former prices, viz., good yellow rather dusty, Bengal grain, 18s to 18s 6d per cwt. SPlCES.—Although Black Pepper can be obtained rather under previous rates, still all qualities have been operated in with caution privately for home consumption as well as for exportation. White met with little attention by private treaty; at publicsale 11 bags were sold at aid to 4bd. For Cassia Lignea prices rule firm, the demand being good and supply small. The arrivals keep small, and the stock is less than last year; but the deliveries are smaller, and prices are fully as high. The high rates insisted upon for Pimento caused the home and export demand to be limited this week by private treaty. At public sale 40 bags were taken in at 5 1 ,“ for mid rather coarse, sV i d was offered. For Ginger the market is im proving ; the demand privately has been good for all sorts. For Nutmegs the home demand is good, and exporters have been buyers to a fair extent. Mace is .wanted; also the better sorts of Cloves. In the valne of Cinnamon there is no variation to potice ' • the inferior and coarse sorts are ne glected, but Old and fine are in fair request, and the supply is small. Fatar.—There has been several fresh arrivals lately of Currants, three cargoes of Chesme and Red Smyrna Raisins, and a cargo of Valencia Raisins from Liverpool ; the market has been rather.quiet this week, the exporters taking only small parcels of Currants. Of old Red Smyrna Raisins some sales have been made at 31s 6d to 32s for shipping. SPIRITS.—The nearest value of Leeward Island is 3s 6d to 3s 8d for proof strength; but the amount of business transacted has been trifling. East India is heavy of dis posal, and can be obtained at 3s 4d for proof with certificate. The business concluded in Jamaica has been trilling in all sorts, and prices are nominal. In Demerara scarcely any purchases have been made, and the nearest value of strong is 4s 10d to 5s per gallon. The stock of Brandy has been fur ther increased, mid there are sellers upon reduced terms. Geneva is wanted for exportation, and several parcels have been sold, common at 2s 7d to 2s 8d ; fine at 3s to 3s 6d per gallon. For British Corn Spirits and Gin prices remain the same. Ls.—For Linseed Oil prices have slightly given way. Rape Seed Oil cannot be quoted higher, but many parcels have been sold. Olive met with less attention, still holders remain firm, on account of the moderate stock. Of Cocoa Nut holders are enabled to obtain the high rates of 47s to 50s per cwt for fair to fine quality, Of Palm holders are inclined to realise, but the purchases made have been to a small extent. Lard Oil is in fair re quest, at 45s to:sos. For Sperm a much better demand pre vailed, and prices have improved. For Cod Oil the limited business transacted wap at 271 5s to 272105. Seal is little wanted. Southern has been disposed of to a fair extent, but not at better prices. TALLow.—Prices have further g iven way for Russian on the spot, and the demand has been limited from soap makers and chandlers all the week; 50s 6d to 51s per cwt are the prices accepted for tine Petersburgh yellow candle. For deli very in the last three months of the year, the demand is however good and quotations range firm at 46s 6d per cwt. Home-made is little wanted, and there arc sellers at 498 6d to 50s net cash, the supply being on the increase. For other sorts of Tallow the market is in a dull state, and prices are lowering. A corn circular, dated Cork, March 23, gives the following report :—" Wheat has fallen 2s. per 2801 b. ' • oats have fallen 2s. per 196 1 b. ; and barley has fallen ls. per 2241 b. Flour is now forcing on the bakers, as arrivals from England continue heavy ; prices of all descriptions are 2s. per cwt. lower. The arrivals of Indian corn are very heavy, but several of the cargoes have come in in bad condition; no transactions are taking place, and the quotations are quite nominal : the quantity of bad corn now accumulating here is immense. Sixty-one vessels have arrived since the 16th inst., viz., 45 with Indian corn, 9 with wheat, 5 with beans, 1 with oats, and 1 with barley; the whole registering over 9,000 tons : 18 discharge here with Indian corn. The weather is variable, with a great deal of rain, which has done infinite service to the country, particularly to the young wheats. There is a large breadth under wheat,much more than usual. A good deal of oats has been sown, but nothing equal to last year, the small farmer having no means nor encouragement to do so. It is too early to judge of what potatoes may be planted, but it cannot be otherwise than trifling. Prepara tion is making for barley, the sowing for which is on a mode rate scale." ---- PROVISIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES.—Twenty six vessels from the United States were reported at Liverpool on the 25th instant, bringing 48,100 barrels of flour, 72,038 bags and 88,523 bushels of Indian corn; and 12,100 barrels of Indian corn meal.
