"Sir, --Now that my medic ' aClaasdhveils'ers say I may use so much exertion, after my life being despaired of, I hasten to reply to a letter of my unfortunate father, dated Aug. 29 (which I am much surprised you in serted in your columns), containing a most diabolical charge against me—a charge deeply affecting my character, and impeaching the reputation and fidelity of an innocent woman, more particularly when his letter was written in prison, where he had been com mitted on a charge the most serious and aggravated, from which he would of necessity exonerate himself, whether right or wrong. I totally and distinctly deny his statements; they are at utter variance with truth. I positively assert that I never did, in thought or deed, commit any act that could justify him in such cruel and unparental violence as he has resorted to. On the night of the melancholy occurrence I repaired to my bed about ten o'clock,labouring under intense agony from toothace and swollen jaw, to which I have been a long time subject. About twelve o'clock Mrs. O'Ryan, on her way to procure a drink for one of her children, having heard me com plain, came into my room (which is quite near my father's) and asked me if she should send for anything to allay the pain, when may father, armed with pistols, rushed into the room, drove Mrs. O'Ryan out, left the room, and locked the door on the outside I got out of my room, and in some time after proceeded to the door of that in which he was, asked him fur the key, and the reason for acting as he had done, when he deliberately fired a pistol at me, inflicting a most dangerous wound. His statement that he had not an argument with me relative to joining him in leases is also untrue, as he did ask me to do a short time since, for the purpose of enabling him to raise money fur his own purposes, which I refused. Ever since he has been most violent in his conduct and treatment towards me. A statement which appeared in some papers, written by a newly-acquired friend of my otfiiii;) [it? IfVcni'fl T aticefy .- w as 1 ) &t . ,rea,5911 _to think and other insinuations reflecting on me, is equally false, as my father married nine years since, and has got two children by said marriage. I could adduce many and strange circumstances to convince the most incredulous of the motives which actuated him to commit this awful crime, but as the matter must undergo legal investigation at the proper time, I trust the press in general will, in justice to ine, insert this letter, as they have published that of my unfor tunate parent, and refrain from publishing any fur ther comments on this very deplorable subject.

The houses were poor and scattered, the streets narrow, crooked, and dirty—the people ignorant, and wild is their man ners almost to savagery. Around them stretched the black moorland, unreclaimed by the plough or the spade; and the sides of the noble hills were covered with shaggy moss, brambles, and wiry creepers, or coloured in the appointed season with the golden gorse and the purple heather. And how short was to bo the inter vening period! Already its this wild people were de posited the seeds of a glorious manufacturing and his torical unfolding. Sixty years have changed the face of this vast district; for during that time heads and hands nave been at work, conquering the wild dominion of na ture, and making all her elements serve them. Thus the river has been converted into artificial beds, and the waters arreqed in their course by weirs, and com pelled to turn the wheels of the hundreds of factories .shich are built upo n th e r i ver ' s ban k s . The savage moorland has be en cu l t i vated and parce ll e d into corn tields and pasture s .

The statement of the progress made oy the institution since its formation in 1836 continues to be encouraging. During the past year relief has been Afforded to a number of sick and distressed retail book sellers and assistants, as well as to their widows; and notwithstanding the large calls upon the funds during the Sear, upwards of 700/. has been added to the perma nent fund, which nearly reaches the sum of 16,0001. l'he Retreat at Abbott's Langley was opened in July last year, on which occasion subscriptions were received to the amount of 840/., increased since by the bequest of 6001.

SOUTH-EASTERN. The twenty-second half-yearly meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday, at the Bridge House Hotel, Southwark. Mr. JamEs M‘GREGoit, the Chairman of the Com pany, presided. The SLCRLTARY read the report. It commenced with the accounts stating that-- "The gross receipts during the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1847, had amounted to 217,874/. 2s. 5,1. ; that the working expenses had been 62,757/. Ils. Bd.; the rent of the Greenwich Railway and the Whitstable Railway, 20,71.2/. 108.; the rates, Govern ment duty, and toll of the Croydon Railway, 26,308/. 45. Bd.; making the expenditure on revenue account, 109,778/. Os. 41. The balance carried to the account of profit and loss was 108,095/. Hs. Id. ; and that account showed an amount at the disposal of the pro prietors of 94,265/. 14s. 101 The comparative state ment of passenger traffic for the half-year ending the 31st of July, 1846, and the 31st of July, 1847, showed a total increase of 42,800 passengers in the latter half-year, yielding an increased receipt of 10,492/. The merchandize department of the latter half-year also showed a considerable increase as com pared with 1846. The locomotive department of the line was in a most efficient state. Several branch lines had been opened since the last meeting, and things were generally in a satisfactory state. The extraordinary delay which had taken place in the completion of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway from Abbeville to Boulogne, had been very preju dicial to this company. It was stated that the line from Abbeville to Nesles, six miles from Boulogne, would open in October, and the remainder of the line from Nesles to Boulogne, in January next. The directors hoped that the proprietors of the Boulogne and Amiens Railway would make it their business to see that these prospects were realised. The directors would not have ventured to make these remarks had not the South-Eastern proprietors been the parties who subscribed the capital for the formation of the Boulogne and Amiens Company. The company had the power, under the Acts passed during the last and previous sessions, to borrow the sum of 127,709/., and the directors proposed to submit a resolution authorising them to take loans to that extent. The directors thought it advisable that the proprietors should sanction a resolution authorising them to receive the 12/. per share remaining to be called on the shares created on the 19th of March, 1844, commonly called No. 1 shares, and entitling, these shares, when such payment had been made, to rank as paid-up stock, and to take dividend ac cordingly." The reading of the report elicited considerable ap plause. The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting, recapitulating the subject-matter of the report, and expressing his gratification that the position of the company's affairs would enable them to pay a divi dend of 21s. on the paid-up shares, 13s. on the No. 1 shares, and Bs. on the No. 2 shares.—(Cheers.) After expressing the continued devotion of the directors to the interests of the proprietors, the Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. PRITCHARD seconded the motion. A PROPRIETOR urged the necessity of great eco• nomy in the present state of the money market, and asked what sum was due in respect to the last call on the .No. 4 shares? The CHAIRMAN, after complimenting the share holders upon the punctuality with which they had met all their vast engagements, stated that the whole amount outstanding on calls of No. 4 shares was 47,8581.—comparatively speaking, he thought a small sum. Another PROPRIETOR inquired when it was likely another call would be made ? The CHAIRMAN said, if the proprietors availed themselves of the advantage of paying up the 121. per share remaining to be called on the No. I shares, and if the company could borrow 200,0001. at 5 per cent., it would be a very long time before another call would be made—not this year certainly. Mr. LEVY observed that the shares in this company were not in so bad a state in the market as not to sell for a very fair price, and he suggested that steps should be taken to enforce the payment of the 47,0001. outstanding, The CHAIRMAN thought, under the circumstances, it was not necessary at present. The report was then unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution authorising the declaration of a dividend of 21s. per share on the shares paid aip f takf 11. lit on-the shares created on the 19th March, 1844 (No. 1), and of Bs. per share and . the payment of the same on the 18 th October The resolution was unanimously agreed to. The bye-laws of the new branches were subse quently adopted. A resolution empowering the borrowing of 127,7091. was agreed to, as was another aut hori s in g the payment of 121. on the No. 1 shares ; and, after the transaction of some routine business, the meeting separated. pang as opportunity offers. The Scottish Grand Junction and Stirling and Dumfermline have been sold wi-:hout loss ; and the Edinburgh and Bathgate shares have been offered to the proprietors on-favour able terms, and accepted to nearly the whole amount. In June last arrangements were made, in connexion with the North British Railway, for taking advantage of the facilities of a thorough communication to Lon don, by the opening of the Newcastle and Berwick line; and the directors then put on additional trains, in order to give to the public the opportunity of reaching the metropolis in one dty from Glasgow. These trains are attended with additional expense ; but, desirous to offer the largest accommodation in their power, the directors propose their continuance for the summer months. In the last report your at tention was directed to the proceedings of the Caledo nian in reference to the Scottish Central. The obligation to lease attempted t o b e h urr i e dl y i mpose d on the Scot tish Central by the former company, has since been re jected by an overwhelming majority of the Scottish Central shareholders ; and the directors trust that, under the able and upright guidance of the distin guished nobleman who again occupies the chairman ship of that company, no such attempt to mitlead it from its true interest will succeed. An agreement with the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company will be submitted to you, by which it is proposed to apply for powers to convert the perpetual lease of that line into an amalgamation on of the two companies, each 251. share of the Edinburgh and Bathgate being con verted into a half share of Edinburgh and Glasgow, on 21. 10s. premium being paid. As the shares given off by this company to the proprietors are issued at 21. 10s. discount, their shares will just cost them par, or 251. each. The other line, an arrangement with which you are asked to sanction, is the Wilsontown, Morningside, and Coltness--a continuation of the Edinburgh and Bathgate westward for about thirteen miles—which will bring considerable mineral and other traffic on your line, at the same time effectually securing you from any diversion of that flowing from the country between it and your main line. The terms proposed for your sanction are eight per cent. on a capital of 140,0001., to be wholly paid up by September, 1849." The report, declaring a dividend of six per cent., was unanimously approved of without discussion. Mr. AYTOUN, in moving a vote of thanks to the directors, adverted to the notice given by Mr. M'Neill, at the last general meeting, of his intention to call a special meeting of the company to consider the ques tion of Sunday trains. What he and those who thought with him wanted was, that the directors of this railway should follow the example of the Cale donian directors, by calling a special meeting of the company, without they, the directors, expressing an opinion either one way or another, and with the de cision of such a meeting he and his friends would be quite satisfied. _ _ Mr. COWAN, M.P., in seconding the motion of thanks to the directors, said he dissented entirely Trom Mr. Aytoun's views as to Sabbath observance, although he agreed with him that the question must be settled by the public voice of Scotland. Sir ANDREW AGNEW contended that the opinion not only of the majority of the people of Scotland was in favour of keeping the fourth commandment, but that all evangelical churches in Christendom had it as an integral part of their standards. The CHAIRMAN could not, without consultation with his colleagues, give Mr. Aytoun any answer es to his question regarding the change of opinion which Mr. Aytoun thought might have taken _place. He felt that it would be a great relief to have it settled by the proprietors rather than by the directors, in whose hands he understood the matter to rest ; but he was sure Mr. Aytoun would not expect him to give an answer either one way or another at present, to which Mr. Aytoun assented, and here the matter dropped. The meeting then became special, to consider the consolidating of the various stocks into one, and as to the agreement with the Wilsontown and Coltness Railway, when the resolutions proposed by the chair man with the view of sanctioning those propositions were unanimously agreed to.—Witness.

SCANDALOUS ASSAULT. On Saturday, William Dowling, described as being a watchmaker, residing in Oldham-court, Old ham•street, was summoned to answer a complaint of having assaulted Mr. W. J. Hammond, comedian, and of having used the most insulting language to wards Mrs. Jerrold, mother of Mr. Douglas Jerrold, and the mother-in-law of Mr. Hammond. Mr. Hammond stated the particulars of the case. He said that he was returning home from the theatre on Monday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, ac companied by his wife, his children, his wife's mo ther (Mrs. Jerrold), and Mrs. Bowring, an acquaint ance. When he and his party had reached the corner of Commutation-row and Islington, the defendant, who appeared to have been coming towards them from an opposite direction, jostled up against them and took Mrs. Jerrold in his arms. The old lady succeeded in rescuing herself from his grasp, and he then made use of the most indecent and disgust ing language towards her. He then passed on towards Mr. Hammond's wife and children, whereupon Mr. Hammond told him to go about his business. Ile not only refused to comply with the request, but I repeated the indecent language, and having something in his hand tied up in a handkerchief of a hard sub stance, he struck Mr. Hammond on the cheek, and gave that gentleman a black eye, from the marks of which he bad not recovered when giving his evidence in the Court on Saturday. The defendant, in reply, said that on Monday night he was going along Islington with a pair of boots tied up in a handkerchief, and that on turning the corner of Commutation-row, he met a party of ladies and gentlemen, whom he "bounded" against, and, in fact, so sudden was the turn round that he could not avoid knocking against them. One of the gentlemen gave him a box, and, on his asking what that was for, his hat was knocked over his eyes. He defended himself as well as he could, and, in the struggle, he received a stroke of an umbrella, and his hat was knocked to a considerable distance. lie was then persuaded to go away, hut the party followed him and got a policeman to take him part of the way to Bridewell, and he was then discharged. Mrs. Bowring corroborated the testimony given by Mr. Hammond, and denied, in the most positive terms, that it was an accidental assault in the first instance. She stated that Mr. Hammond was struck, but that the defendant did not receive a single blow._ The defendant called a witness, who, however, had not seen the commencement of the assault. The ladies ult. Mr. Rushton said th e case was_ clear . were walking home _ them in his h m through asrtrese,tsa,ndwbbeehnavthede defendant took one of ner towards her, both in in a most indecent an d when called upon to ex manner and language r plain, his only excuse was an , tha t . it was an accidental affray. Mrs. Bowring had given so clear an account of it, that no doubt was left on his (Mr. Rushton's) mind that the conduct of the defendant had been very disgraceful. He was ordered to pay a fine of al., or in default to be imprisoned two . months. The defendant —Mll you allow me time, sir, to collect the money ? Mr. Rushton—No, not a moment. When a man so far forgets himself as to insult a female in the street he is entitled to no consideration whatever. The amount of the fine not being forthcoming, the defendant was taken away in custody.—Liverpool paper. PlTENT.—Amongst the list of English patents granted on the 3d day of July, in the present year, is one, to Miss Eliza Tonge, of Boston, " for improve ments in ornamenting glass." This brief official descrip tion of the patent gives by no means a correct idea of the brilliant and artistical effects prodUced by the invention of our fair towns•woman. • We Inv° bad the pleasure of inspecting one or two beautiful specimens of this new style of ornamental art, by which the most magnificent combinations of colours are applied to the permanent development on plate glass of vivid illustrations of flowers, gems, and other pleasing natural objects ; and we entertain little doubt that the patent will become one of general adoption to the ornamental details of highly furnished mansions, as well as to hand-screens, and the lightvr article' of Aaury or elegance.---lioston Gawk. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW. The general half-yearly meeting of the share holders of this railway was held on Tuesday, in Glas gow ; Peter Blackburn, Esq.,chairman of the com pany, presiding. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, of which the following is an abstract:— " The directors lay before the proprietors the ba lance-sheet for the half-year ending 31st July, 1847; and although the dividend they can recommend is not so large as they expected, yet they can congratulate the company on an increase of receipts as compared with a similar period last veer. The traffic receipts for the half-year ending 31st of July, 1847, were 89,2871. 9s. 6d., showing an increase over the half year ending 31st of July, 1846, of 4,617/. 175. It must be kept in mind that this increase arises with out any additional mileage being charged on the Edinburgh and Glasgow line, or any increase in the rates per mile, and notwithstanding a complete cessa tion of Union Canal traffic during the month of. July, 1846, which added about 1,2001. to the revenue of that half-year. The general depression of trade has also had a large share in preventing a greater increase in the revenue. Some idea of the extent of this may be formed from comparing the number of passengers in each class with those corresponding last year : First. Second. Third. Total. July 31, 1847 July 31, 1846 50,732 105,812 365,134 521,678 Though the total has increased, it is entirely on the lowest class—the first and second having diminished considerably ;- nothing but the general desire to eco nomize can account for this. There is also a charge made against revenue, to which attention is called, viz., 2,979/. 16s. 7d. interest, accumulated on land un settled for since the opening of the line. This should have been a charge against preceding dividends, and might, perhaps with justice, have been spread over some half-years to come. But your directors prefer meeting such charges against revenue at once ; and would only point out this as a deduction equal to one third per cent. dividend for this half-year—a charge which cannot occur again. The balance from revenue to 31st July is £47,034 12 7 To which add balance in hand on 31st January ... ... 12,983 211 The disposable balance is The directors recommend a dividend at the rate or 6 per cent. free of income tax, or 60,017 15 6 ... £52,734 7 6 p t o l a b n et c i‘ a i rr r i . ed Ad to ie the reported that the Leaving v the i ng l a i n b e a 1 a n n n c d o credit of next half-year. of £ 7,283 8 0 works on the main line of the railway were all in excellent order, that the Shieldhill branch had lately been opened for the coal trade from the fields into which that line has been carried, and • that the Stirling shire Midland Junction branch had been let to Mr. Alexander M'Donald, and that the work was to be completed in eighteen months. By the diligent re pair of the engines now in possession of the company, notwithstanding that many of them are too light for the traffic, the trains had for the last six months been very regularly worked. During that period, 3,332 passenger trains had run ; and out of that number 93 trains were late to the extent not exceeding ten minutes-33 to the extent not exceeding fifteen minutes—and only 41 trains were more than fifteen minutes late-3,165 trains having` been punctual, or within five minutes of the proper time. A good stock of second and fourth class carriages had lately been added to the plant, as well as a number of new goods waggons. The directors then remark that it was most satisfactory to be able to state that the trains had run with such reg ularit y during the last six months, and that 558,302 passengers had been carried without a single casu alty. Mr. Latham, late se cretar y of the M a nchester and Birmingham line, has been appointed manager. Referring now to the external relations of the company, the directors have to regret the loss of the Bill introduced by them authorising an increase of capital, and the holding of that stock in other lines which was found by them in the company's posses sion. As the Bill was lost, it will be necessary to apply in the next session for powers to raise a certain amount of additional capital. In the meantime, the directors are disposing of all shares held by the com- ‘ 3 • NA VA L TEJZIGE' • SIR CHARLES NAP- SQI-TADRON. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. M.—By the mail which al , . highly rived yesterday we are pat i n p n of further esseseio 4 7 -4 ) interesting detail s respect ing the movements of Sir Charles Napier's squadron " The steam squadron, consisting of the Sidon, 560 - " .1.---- liorse power, Captain Henderson, a ith the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier; the Odin, 560 horse power, Captain Pelham ; the Avenger, 650 horse power, Captain Dacres ; the Dragon, 560 horse power, Captain Hall ; the Vixen, 280 horse power, Commander Ryder; and the Stromboli ' 280 horse power, Commander Fisher, went out for a trial on the 3d instant. They started in the morning with about the following quantities ofcoal on board:— Sidon, 360 tons; Odin, 325 tons; Avenger, 400 tons; Dragon, 340 tons; Vixen, 340 tons; Strom boli, 240 tons. Something detained the Avenger in starting, her gear being bent; that, however, was soon ptit to rights, and she started, and met the test outside the bar, where a trial of steaming, bead to wind, commenced, when it was very doubtful whether the Sidon or Olin was the better sailer. The re maining vessels were slightly beaten. They were then all stopped, when lying in a heavy sea ; the Vixen and Strombeli here signalled to know if they could clear for action. The Stromboli replied, No.' The Vixen might per haps have done it, but the superiority Of the Sidon over all was unquestionable, in being exceedingly Aeady and unable to clear for action without the least difficulty. Her appearance, too, compared with rite Odin, is very superior. She carries eighteen fighting guns, and would without doubt carry even a heavier armament, with the. advantage of striking her funnels, thereby enabling her to set a square mainsail, which the other vessels, except the Vixen, are unable to do, besides being able to stow in her hunkers 700 tons of coals. The Dragon is said to be leaky. The Howe, 120, is to leave this to-morrow (the 10th) for Spithead ; and as a steamer will accompany her, it is supposed the Dragon will go. The Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, sailed this morning for the Mediterranean ; and Sir Charles Napier's squadron, consisting of the three-deckers, St. Vincent and Queen, the two-deckers, Canop us and Vengeance, and all the steamers, are to leave Lisbon for a cruize to-morrow, and will perhaps accompany the Howe some distance, returning in a few days, leaving the Caledonia, 120, and America, .50, with the Jackal iron steamer at this place (Lis bon), which is, although quiet to all appearances, any thing but settled, the troops net being paid, nor are there any funds in the treasury to pay them with. Great attention is paid to Sir Charles Napier's opinion, as he is said to understand the state of this unhappy coun try well. The squadron has been exercised at shifting topsail yards, jib-boom, topgallant masts, sails, &c.; :old the Caledonia is in general the smartest, Queeu next, and the others about equal, except the Ven geance, which is generally last; but this may be ac counted for by the youth and inexperience of the whole or nine-tenths of her crew." Another letter, dated Lisbon, the Bth instant, says, =peaking of the trial of the steamers, which lasted from seven o'clock in the morning until four in the afternoon of the 3d : " The Sidon and Odin had the advantage so long As they could keep steam, which they could not do for any length of time ; the others could not consume all their steam, consequently, in a long run, they would come up with the two former. The Sidon is certainly a fine-looking vessel, and appears to fleet much more buoyantly than any of the other steamers. They came in after the trial, one after the other, in gallant style, against a strong ebb tide ; first, the Sidon, then the Odin, Avenger, Dragon, Vixen, and Stromboli. " On the 4th instant two Portuguese brigs, having the liberated prisoners from Angola on hoard, arrived. They reported that Bornfin had made his escape on hoard a merchant ship, hut was chased and rec.,ptured by one of our slave cruizers, the Flying Fish. It is supposed he will be given up to the Terrible, which is expected here next week. The Thetis left all quiet at Madeira ; the Recruit, 12, was, however, ordered to remain there at present. " A French steam-frigate, with the broad pendant, and a schooner, left early in the morning of the 7th, and the frigate Armide sailed in the afternoon. There are now left the Iphegenie and a brig; the former is the French Excellent, or gunnery ship; she is a fine double-banked frigate, and exercises her crew at sea instead of, as we do, in harbour. She has been out since we have been here, when we heard the constant roar of her guns booming in the distance. Thetis the way to acquire proficiency in ship gun nery. _ _ _ [PlarlOß SD. " - The squadron has been exercised daily since they carne here (after refit), shifting either a sail or a spar, reefing, furling, &c., but with the watch only. A. poor fellow belonging to the Avenger was stabbed the other night on shore, and died yesterday morning. ," It is signalled that the squadro n w ill p rocee d t o A r a on Friday, and is expected to remain out five or six wesilii after escorting the Howe as far as Cape I±'iniste e. Another renqrt among us..-is, that the .frcn the squadron will be broken up, when the Admiral will return to Lisbon, where, re port says, he has taken a house for three years. The Caledonia and America do not accompany the squa dron, but remain here, as also a steamer, to bring out the letters which will come by the packet of the 7th from England. There are now lying here, the Bri tish ships of war St. Vincent, Howe, Caledonia, 120's; Queen, 110; Vengeance and Canopus, 84's ; America, 50; and steamers Sidon, Odin, Avenger, Dragon, Vixen, and Stromboli. French ships of war—one frigate and one brig. Spanish —two fri gates, two corvettes, one brig, and one steamer. Por tuguese-Lone line-of-battle ship, a frigate, and two corvettes. " The Admiral inspected the Howe yesterday. It is rumoured the Vengeance will be sent home shortly and refit for Mediterranean service. " Mr. Oswald, mate of the St. Vincent, died on the sth inst." The Sealark, 8, Commander R. D. White, sailed last evening for Chatham, to be paid off. The Blazer steam surveying vessel, Commander Henry E. Wingrove, arrived last evening from Cork, bringing a few marines, lately forming part of the battalion serving at Spike Island. She has come here to embark a quantity of surveying stores, which were landed here when she was sent on the relief service to Ireland. She is to resume her station at Harwich under Captain J. Washington. The Fury steam sloop, Commander James Wilcox, went out of harbour this afternoon. The Amphitrite, 25, Captain T. R. Eden, and the Trincomalee, 25, Captain NVarren, will be paid to morrow or Saturday, and sail on Sunday on a trial cruize. The Commander-in-Chief; Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., had appointed to-day for the in-pection of the Trincomalee, but, in consequence of the boisterous state of the weather, has deferred it till to-morrow. Rear-Admiral Robert Bloye, C 8., died at his re sidence, King's-terrace, Southsea, on Tuesday night, which sudden circumstance had so powerful an effect upon Mrs. Bloye that she died iii three hours after wards of grief. The gallant retired Rear-Admiral was midshipman cf the Marlborough in Howe's action of the glorious Ist of June; commander of the Lyra on the north coast of Spain in 1812 and 1813 ; in active co-operation with the patriots, particularly at the defence of Castro, vaille. serving on shore at the siege of St. Sebastian.
