This Company is established with a view to afford the pub . lie increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and • the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangement for 4 term of years has been entered . . into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Corn )any, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the - - speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to 'Mesta being on the ove of com pletion without a break. The harbour of liarwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of eHumber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

The draft of the proposed treaty drawn up by the commissioners in . conference at Copenhagen, to settle the terms on which the Sound dues are to be abolished by the Government of Denmark, is published in extenso in the Brussels journal, Le Nord, of Monday, together with the schedu'es specifying the various articles exempt from toll. The King of Denmark engages not to levy any charge whatever upon vessels or cargoes passing from the North Sea to the Baltic, or vice versa, through the Belts, or the Sound, whether they merely traverse the Danish waters, or whether they anchor . therein. No vessel is hereafter, upon any pretext whatever, to be subjected, in passitis the Sound or Belts, to any detention or impediment. The King of Denmark, however, reserves to himself a right to settle by special arrangements, Rot involving either search or detention, the fiscal and customs regulations to which vessels shall be subject be longing to powers which have not taken part in this treaty. Vessels entering or leaving the Danish ports, whether laden or in ball as t, s h a ll b e exempt from all lighthouse and other such dues, not having the character of customs duties, or of peculiar har bour dues. The Danish Government undertakes to maintain all existing beacons, lighthouses, buoys, and landmarks, along the coast or in the approaches to its harbours, road , rivers, and channes, and also to take into its serious consideration every userul ad dition or alteration, without any cost to foreign vessels. It will also exercise supervision over the pilot service, which is to be a l ways ava il a bl e f or captains and masters of ships, at their option. The pilot charges are to be modified ; they are in no rasa to be increas=d, and they are to be the same for Danish as for foreign vessels, and not to be demanded except from those vessels which volun tarily employ the pilots. Any private indivi duals, Danes or foreigners, are to be without any restriction, to establish or station in the Sound steam-boats serving exclusively for towing vessels which may choose to employ them. The exemption from tolls which a great variety of articles at present enjoy in certain of the channels, routes, or passages connecting the North Sea with the Baltic, is henceforth extended to every such channel or route either now existing or which may hereafter be made between the North Sea and the Baltic. (A very long list of the com modities which enjoy this exemption is annexed.) It is quite unders'.ood that if any other articles of commerce are at any future time favoured with a similar exemption in any one of the channels re ferred to, the same exemption shall hold good on all other routes. An uniform tax by weight of sixteen ski Lings Danish for 500ibs. Danish is to be levied upon all merchandise, not at present exempt, con veyed by whatever route ; and the King of Den mark engages to place all the routes of communica tion upon a footing of perfect equality with the most favoured routes now existing, or here if er to be established, between any two or several Danish ports. The foregoing stipulaf ions are to take effect from the Ist of April, 1857. As indemnification and compensation for the sacrifices thereby incurred, the governments contracting with him engages to pay the King of Denmark, who accepts the same, a total amount of 30,570,698 rigsdalers ; each of them to be responsible only for its own quota. The sum is to be paid within 20 years, by 40 half-yearly payments of equal amount, including a diminishing interest upon the sum not yet payable. The mode and place of payment is to be settled by each Government with the Danish Government, by a separate convention, as well as the conditions upon which the payment may be an ticipated or redeemed. EASTERN COUNTIES. The report of the directors of this company has just been issued. It is of considerable length, and enters into a • Lriety of details with a view to give the shareholders full information on the state of their affairs. Since the last meeting the attention of the directors has been occupied solely with a view to carry out a profitable result. The loss under the agreement for working the traffic at 46 per cent, of the receipts amounted to 24,9121. in the first half and to 36,908/. in the second half of 1856, making together 61,820/. 'The gross earnings for the half-year ending the 31st of December have been 717,85'1., and the expenses 374,3337., leaving 343,533/. for division asfollows :—Eastern Counties, 245,3747.; Norfolk, 49,0741.; sod Eastern lJnidn, 49,074/, The 46 per cent, for working does not pay the expense incurred in obtaining this traffic, and the oss falls exclusively on the Eastern Counties shareholders. The net sum available for dividend from the half-year's working is 76,9717., aft sr paying all guarantees and preference charges. To that sum is added 3,4667. from last account, making a total of 80,4387. available for dividend. The directors have declared a dividend of ss. per share on the consolidated stock of the company, which will amount to 72,9201., and leave 7,5181. for the next account. The mortgage debt on the 31st of December last amounts to 2,832,7737., showing an inereasa dor:u_; the half-year of 108,820/. Of this sum 7,0121. was expended on new works for the associated com panies, 8,3291. for now engines, and 38,670/. for new lines. The directors have opened a deposit account with their bankers, an :t are now receiving 5 per cent. for all moneys for which they have not immediate use, instead of 2 per cent. as heretofore. SCINDE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday Gresnarmixiase, Old Broad -street ; Mr. W. I'. Andrew in the chair. The CleernmAN, in moving the adoption of the report, sail they expected to have had official information before that time as to the line they-were to take for the railway, but the authorities in Bombay and Scinde ha I called upon them to ni eke surveys in several directions not contem plat,d. This change in the airangewents by the local authorities had caused so' ie delay, but he believed that remonstrauces from the home authorities had been sent out to India, and he trusted the course of the line would soon be fixed as originally intended. They had sent out in structions to their engineer not to make any alteration in the line, because it was the best suited for the wants of the district and the purpose of extension. As to the harbour of Kurrachee, the Government had employed Mr. J. Walker, the engineer, to report on its capabilities, and he had re oontneede t the deepening of the water over the bar across the harbour, which would be effected at a moderate ex pense, so as to a Imit seagoing vessels of largo tonnage to pass over it • and Mr. Walker stated that he had no doubt, from the information he obtained, that it would make an excellent harbour. A scientific gentleman, under Mr. Walker, ha l been sent out to superintend operations there, =I he (the chairman) had been recently informed that the dredging machines were at work deepening the bar. As an instance of the capabilities of the harbour, one gentle man, who had expressed some distrust of landing stores at Kurracheo for the railway, bad not only found on going there that he could land them safely, but had signified his desire to convey any other stores they might require to that port. They would have no difficulty in securing freights on moderate terms when the capabilities of the harbour were kinwn. They had now a staff of engineers in the l'unjaub making surveys, and he had received a very in teresting account of the navigation of the Indies up to Mooltan. The time at present occupied in transit from Kurracheo to Lahore was from 20 to 27 days, bat when'the railways were completed, and steamers suit able for the navigation were running between their ter mini, it could be performed in six days. He read para graphs from the Indian newspapers to show that they ap proved his plan for improving the communication from Kurrachee to Lahore and Umritsir. He was informed that there were no engineering difficulties whatever on the proposed Punjab Railway; it was nearly a dead level the whole way, aced it would not have to cross a stream for 3-4ths of the distance; but at the Mooltan end they would have to cross a few canals. The Punjab Railway would open up a larger country than Austria. He then adverted to the cotton districts to which access would be obtained, end stated that some very fine specimens of cotton had been produced in those districts from American seed, and that immense quantities of ib could be grown in the district, and would come down the Indus to Kurrachee. Cotton had been grown on the banks of the five great rivers in India from time inimemorial. It had been proved that iron mines existed in India to a great extent, and they were capable of producing all the iron that was re quired for the railways. Some of the ore was exceedingly rich. There was no possibility of getting cotton unless they made long railways, and they could not make them without a good deal of iron. The Euphrates, Scinde, and Punjab Railways would form three great links in the com wunica.tion between Europe and Central India. Prepa ration; wore being made for laying down the electric tele graph from the Persian Gulf to Kurrachee, and then to join that system in India. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, and re• electing the retiring directors and auditor. The meeting then separated. BLYTH AND TYNE.

There is, says Solomon, nothing new under the sun ; and however hard it may be to accept an axiom like this in this day of ours, when electric telegraphs, railways, steam, and gas seem to be revealing the hidden secrets of nature, we are, and not very seldom, compelled to ac knowledge its truth by the return to the way which our ancestors trod some 800 to 1,000 years ago. Elec tricity and its management have brought distant com munities into such close proximity, that the world is not content now with circuitous passages, when others more direct can be obtained. It is from this feeling that the new route to Holland North and Central Germany, and thereby the south, east of the Jura range of moun tains to Trieste, has been devised. There is no doubt of the advantage to be obtained by this way of progress, for the gain of time alone amounts to two days between London and the Adriatic, by way of Harwich, Rotter dam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway ; and after that by Vienna to Trieste. To say nothing of this gain of dine, in the great majority of instances of com mercial iutercourse the saving of expense in the mul titude of transits which make up the traffic of passec gers and goods between England, Holland, Germany, Turkey, and India, at the very first will be perceived to amount to a sum equal to the revenues of a kingdom, and a saving in mercantile transactions equal to the pro fit on a shipping business, Of this the Liverpool mer chants are fully sensible, and have accordingly joined themselves largely to the undertaking ; and there can be no hesitation in saying that there is baldly a line of rail way in the midland, the eastern, and the southern dis tricts of the country which will not reap a very consider able advantage by the opening of the means of transit proffered by the London, Harwich, and Continental Steam-packet Company. The port of liar wich lies sixty-eight miles north-east of London, is safe from every wind, lies due west of Rot terdam, and as far up in the North Sea as to be beyond any of the conflicting ocean currents which act so strongly nearer to the entrance and in the entrance of the British Channel. The passages, therefore, between the two ports are effected with more ease, speed, and safety than bet .seen any other ports of equal distance from each other. This is one and certainly not an un important consideration, but it is only a minor, for it ministers to another of far higher interest. To the com mercial public of the metropolis the route is so short mid speedy compared with the long, and what we have learned to consider the tedious, estuary of the Thames, by which a vessel to Rotterdam, Hamburg, and the Baltic ports has first to go seventy miles out of her Course, beat against the head winds which check her rounding by the Essex coast, and then make another hundred miles in order to gain the very ground which she would have reached so long before if she had started from Harwich. It is very evident that the way of transit by Harwich must perhaps by degrees, but not the less certainly for that, secure in the end the wh01. 3 of the traffic between London, Holland, Hanover, Saxony, and Central Ger many,ft oe ofr the i a t n yobservationwill other h b e e r b p o e t r h t e c be h y e aeapt reference reet s u p ac e ne e d d i t y s oe . twh T ee e mayyeaasyt j a ni m iotit o hs u tigi t of treasure which is almost daily passing to and from London, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Hamburg, h t ic arisesi the great g ee r a ea , t an d d an f g or er to which h insurance alone its t o P aLangdeo over n v b e y r the Thames would pay nearly, ,if not entirely, the whole of th t e he c, Eer ir a ri s a t ge n .

The report of the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, to bs presented to the meeting to-mor row, states that the total calls made amouut to 606,0191., on which 413,6421. has been received, leaving 192,3771. to be paid. With regard to the pr, greys of the vessel, and the expectation of its b&rig launchel early in the ensuing summer, the directors remark : " The works were resumed towards the end of May last under the direction and control of the engineer and officers of the company, and have proceeded continuou,ly. and the progress made in every department is such as not only to give the directors great satisfaction, but likewise to afford the Expectation that the ship may be launched early in the ensuing summer. Tne progress of the works has left no alternative to the directors but to make calls with promptness and frequency. These calls have been more rapid than the directors could have wished, and they regret to add tat the necessity for them has been increased by the failure on the part of some of the pro prietors to meet their share of the burden. But the directors have f,lt it indispensable to the interests of all to complete the ship, as the only means of making the outlay incurred profital le. Interest warrants for the year ending the 31st of December inst. have not been issued, the directors considering the policy of continuing to pay interest to be a matter for the consideration of the meeting. The directors have to express their confident conviction that before the next half-yearly meeting the ship will be launched and the purposes of the company so far realised." COURT ,OF COMMON COUNCIL.--Yesterday a report was received from the Improvements Committee on the subject of the Metropolitan New Streets and Ler rove rnents Bill, which proposes to make a new street from the western end of Long-acre to the north-west end of Bing-street, Covent-garden, and another from the east side of Blackfriars-road, opposite Stanif,,rd-street, to High-street, Southwark. The report cornpliined that this bill gave the Board of Works unlimited power to raise money by rates, and allowed it to receive the whole of the surplus of the London-bridge approaches fund, and urged that as the court contributed 11,500/, per annum to that fund, they should petition Parliament that the Board of Works should be restricted in its employment of the fund to the sum already required to carry out the improvements. The report further urged that the City ought not to be taxed with the other parts of the metropolis for works which oily benefit other localities. With regard to the sum to be charged upon the surplus cf the London-bridge approaches fund, the report stated that 30,0001. was the sum which the com mittee had urged on the promoters of the bill as that to which the Board of Works should be restricted. The report was agreed to, and a petition founded upon it ordered to be presented to the House of Commons.

Yesterday Thomas Fuller Bacon, and Martha, his wife, were again b roug h t np a t the Lambeth Police court, to be examined respecting the murder of their two children. The male prisoner's appearance had undergone a very considerable change. He seemed exceedingly downcast, and kept his eyes fixed on the floor of the dock, as if tie avoid seeing any one, but, as if suddenly recollecting himself, he stood up and kept staring for some moments in the direction in which his wife sat, in the hope of get ting a sight of h er , b ut h er b ac k being turned and a high partition behind her, he did not succeed. At this moment., and when . the examination was about to be proceeded with, M r . Att er rece i ve d f ro m the Waterloo station the foll ow i ng te l egrap hi c comm unication, for warded from St am f or d i mmed i at el y after Dr. Tayler bad made the discl osure b e f ore the coroner an d jury at Great Challerton on th a t morning :—" A rsen i c is found by Dr. Taylor." O n rea di ng t h e d ocument , M r . Atter left his seat, approached the dock, and had sense private com municat on with Bacon, his client. The telegraphic message was handed to the chief clerk, who plaoed it before the magistrate. Mr. Elliott, after reading it, addressing Inspector Young, asked if he had any more evidence to offer against the prisoner, and Mr. Young replied that he had not. Mr. Elliott next' asked the professional gentlemen engaged in the case if they had anything to offer to the Court, and both answered in the negative. Mr. Elliott then said—After carefully considering this case, and giving all the circumstances my best considera tion; I have come to the deteimination of sending both the prisoners to take their trill on this very serious charge. On that trial a questien will ari , e respecting the state of mind of the fernale-*Mrs. Bacon), and it will be the province of the jury to pronounce an opinion upon it. I may also mention that poients has been found in the body of Mrs. Bacon, sen, and That 'atout the time of her death her son, the male prisoner, bad been in pos session of, and dealing with, a similar poieon. This annouticement created an evident sensation throughout the crowded court, and all eyes were fixed on the male prisoner ; but he, beyond keeping his eyes fixed on the floor, and exhibiting a slight flush on the countenance, did not betray any particular emotion. Mr. Elliott—l feel it also to be my duty to state that, in the tour-e of this investigation, I received a letter, signed " A," disclosing circumstances of a peculiar cha racter indirect)) , connected with the case ; and though it is anonymous, the writer expresses his willingness, should I desire it, to come forward and verify the irnpor tent statemente it contains. As these statements are of an important public character, it is my wish that the writer should come forward ; and it will be my desire, as well as my duty, to hear all he has to say respecting the important matters contained in his letter. In con clusion, I feel bound to say that Mr. Young, the officer engaged in this case, has done himself much credit by the intelligence and activity that he has displayed, and the manner be has sought out and brought forward the large and important mass of evidence, and I have no hesitation in saying that the public are much indebted to him. I have only now to remand the prisoners to a future day, when you, Mr. Young, will have the whole of the witnesses in attendance, that the evidence given by each may be read over to them and that they may sign their depositions. The prisoners were here removed from the court, and on Bacon reaching his cell his fortitude com pletely forsook him. He instantly flung himself on the seat, trembled and shook like an aspen and wailing friends were i f n rom the he m ad ost to p f i o te o o t, us an t d o c n o u re s n o c m ed e c o r f y h in isg admitted to him, and one or two of them recommen d e d him to make a ean breast of it and disclose all he knew and for some time it was thought he would do so. He, however, recovered his self-possession, and his nett fit was one of an inordinate desire to see and speak with his wife. He begged and prayed that the gaoler would al tow him the interview he sought, but that officer (Mr. Cook), knowing the horror with which his wife viewed him—a horror which has induced her, since her husband has been taken into custody, to beg awl pray that she might not be brought in contact with him, nor even get a sight of him or he of her—toll him he could not do so without the magistrate's sanction. Bacon then said he should first write a note for her, and then ask the magis trate for an interview, and if that was refused, for per mission to e.end her the note he should write. A pen, ink, and paper were then given to him, and in the pre sence of Cook and Inspector Young, he wrote a note, of which the following is a literal copy : "My dear Martha,—l write these few lines to you hop ing that you will tell me the truth, as I wish to the Lord that you will speak the truith, as it will be Best for us, as our situation requeres, now we are placed that nothing else will be more advantageous to both ; hoping you, as my wife, will not but give me answer, as I should like to eee you, and likewise to speak to you. Hoping you are well. So now more this time, with my —I remain your afftotionatOustrand, "J. F. .11.5.n0 . x."

Bacon—Then may I communicate with her by letter I Mr. Elliott—At present I cannot cllow you to have any communication with her. The prisoner was then led out of court. TBE ALLEGED MURDER OF MRS. BACON. Yesterday Dr. A.S. Taylor, of Guy's flospital, attended the inquiry which has been instituted at Great Challerton respecting the death of Mrs. Bacon, whom her son, Thomas Fuller Bacon, is suspected of having murdered by poison. Dr. Taylor read the detailed results of his ana lysis at length, and afterwards presented a summary of them in the five conclusions : " 1. The body of Ann Bacon contained arsenic, which must have beers taken by her or administered to her while living. "2. That arsenic was found in the largest proportion : —lst, in the intestines ; 2:1, in the liver, and gall, and bladder ; 3d, in ti.e stomach, the kidneys and spleen con tained a small qu intity. The heart and bloody liquid of the chest contained none. " 3. That the total quantity extracted from the differ ent parts was about three-quarters of a grain. " 4. That the parts containing arsenic were well pre served, but presented none of the appearances which are ususually produced by this poison. "s.That whether the deceased died from the effects of arsenic or natural causes can only be determined by the symptoms from which she suffered in the illness preced ing her death." The Coroner, addressing Professor Taylor, raid, then you would rather not express an opinion as to the cause of death until you have heard the evidence of the medical man who attended her in her last illness. Dr. Taylor--Yes, and any other witnesses who may be examined. Mr. E. Barber, surgeon, of Stamford, was then called and examined. He deposed that he had attendad Mrs. Bacon in March last, when she was attacked with what he then believed to be English cholera. He gave her some medicine, and she shortly after recovered. She c omplained when he first saw her of pains in the abdo men. She was sick and purged. In May last he was ceded to sea her at her son Thomas's house. She appeared to be suffering from the same disorder. He prescribed for her, and ordered her home. He gave medicine, but she died on the following Tuesday, two days afterwards. He gave a certificate that she died from cerebral disease. Coroner —Having heard the report of Dr. Taylor and knowing that he has found poison in the body of the de ceased, are you of opinion that the symptoms under which the deceased was suffering when you were called in were such as would be produced by poisoniug ? Mr. Barber—l am. Mrs. Bacon, of Stamford, said she saw the deceased on the Saturday before her death. She was in perfect health. She asked her to come and dine with witness on the next day, but she said she thought she should re main at home. Saw the deceased again on the following day, at about 8 o'clock. She was then very ill. She 'omitted several times. At tea o'clock she appeared better, and witness left her. Thomas Bacon said bis mother was taken ill at her dinner. When witness went upstairs she saw Thomas Bacon's wife there with de ceased. Deceased told witness, in presence of Thomas Bacon and his wife, that she felt well in the morning, and was taken ill after taking some broth. She further said that she had sickne ss a nd purging very violently. She was sick taiice in witness's presence. Witness saw heragain her o on n mthng Monday, i when Bac on sa id to his wife "Give out of that bottle," pointing to one on the table, which was not a medical bottle.

Bacon came in and said, "I suppose you have been looking for the rent-bo,k ?" Witness re plied that she had. He said it was no use, as he had got it, and further rem arked, " I suppose you know that by my father's will this house and all that is in it belongs to me and my sister." Witness replied that it would be quite time enough to talk about the property when his mother was dead. Tbat was neither the time nor place. By the Coroner—By his mother's death Bacon would succeed to some house property in Stamford worth 901. per annum, subject to some legacies. After the mother's death be was disappointed when her will transpired, and she had left the rest of her property to other mem bars of the family. Witness's husband first told Thomas Bacon that his mother had made a will. About six weel“i before her death Mrs. Bacon was taken iil, and was sick sever al times.

After the Examination of other witnesses, the coroner proceeded to sum up the whole of the evidence, comment ing on its differed features, and pointing out to the jury the bearings of the law upon the case, and at half-past six o'clock the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful mur der" against Thomas Fuller Bacon. Great excitement prevails in Staniford and the whole of the surrounding neighbourhood. THE CASE OF. THE 211U.RDERER MANS ELL. The execution of this prisoner was to have taken place on the sth instant, but a .respite has been sent, delaying the carrying out of the sent ence until the llth of May,'in order that the legal point rallied by his counsel, Mr. Russell, as to the validity of the jury oy whom he was tried, may be first disposed of ; - and as the Court of Queen's Bench decided not to enter into the argument until the conclusion of the present term, it was necessary for the sentence to be respite& for this long period. It will be recollected that at the trial the only defence set up for the prisoner was, that he was not in a state of mind to be accountable for his actions at the time he deliberately shot the unfortunate man for whose murder. be was tried. There does not appear, hoeever, the slightest ground for supposing that his mind is at al; affected ;' but, on the contrary, he seems to be perfectly aware of the character of his crime, and his only desire appears to bethat he may escape the capital punishment ; indeed immediately after the trial he said that he should not have cared if he had been only sentenced to traus portation for life. He eats and drinks heartily, and is now evidently strongly impressed with the idea that, after having been twice respitedi and so long a delay being granted, the sentence of death will nut be carrie. 4 out ; and although Mr. Hilliaril, the ne:vly appointed governor of Maidstone gaol. has frequently impressed upon him the necessity of preparing for the worst, and explained to him the circumstances under which the re spites have been granted, and that in the event of the point of law being decided against him, the sentence would no doubt be carried into eff:tct, it appears to have very little weight, and he evidently feels a strong convic tion that his life will be spared. Two extra turnkeys are employed to watch the prisoner, one being constantly with him during the day. tend tee other at night, so that he is never left alone. It has already been explained that the ground upon which the prisoner has been respited, was, that the counsel for the Crown had improperly chal lenged one of the jurors without cause, but it seems that since the matter has been brought before the Court of Queen's Bench, a new objection has been started, and it will be cantended that the prisoner was entitled to have the juryman who was objected to emit - Paneled to try him, and that having been improperly put in peril, by the juryman having been rejected improperly, the whole pro ceeding was not only invalid, but that the prisoner cateett again be put in jeopardy upon the same charge ; and if this objection, upon argument, should be sustained, an order will be made for the discharge of the prisoner, and he will altogether escape the consequences of his act.
