'Tis a singular thing, but a fact you must know, I'm reminded of MOSES wherever I go. If I go to the East, if I go to the West, The garments of MOSES my notice arrest ; And the North and the South in the very same way The triumphs of MOSES' tamed Warehouse display. Wherever I go I am certain to meet With the dresses of MOSES, so stylish and neat. If I go to a party, the gentlemen there Remind me of MOSES in all that they wear; If I take a long trip on the stage or the rail, Fellow-passengers tell me the very same tale. On the right and the left, and the left and the right, The fashions of MOSES appear in my sight. At the cot and the palace, the church and the play, The dresses of MOSES and SON I survey. Yes, the rich and the poor, and the high and the low, Remind me of MOSES wherever I go. And what do I learn from a fact such as this? That the garments of MOSES have nothing amiss. Should I meet with these dresses wherever I go, If the clothes were de cient in quality ? No ! But quality marks them, and fashions as well. And that's why the goods universally sell. In addition to this, they are sold very low, And hence do the publie approve of them so, • In every direction wherever I go.

After a deservedly favourable review of the " His tory of the Conquest of Peru," by the most eminent of American historians, William H. Prescott, Black wood rejoices his readers with a sprightly description of " Crossing the Desert," suggested by the recent peregrinations or wanderings of " a young English gentleman of family and fortune named Sydney." These two contributions are followed by a glimpse— a brief, but earnest glimpse—at the career and cha racter of Jean Paul Frederick Richter. Like the writer of this biographic notice, we are disposed to congratulate the public upon the late appearance of the memoir of this extraordinary man, this man of whom it is justly remarked—" A perfect Titan as an author, in the common relations of social and domes tic life he is a god." As but few are acquainted in this our England with the estimation, and admiration, and even veneration which is due to Richter, we can not do better than give a few of the prefatory remarks contained in the Edinburgh Magazine. After ob serving that in reading the work already alluded to " we are plunging at once with bold, fearless swoop into the very centre of the Fatherland, into the midst of the untrodden fir forests of the Fichtelgebirge, where many great hearts billow out sublime thoughts —hearts that never saw that which is most kindred to them in nature—the sea," the contributor con tinues thus— " A G; Heaven ! ho liter ally strikes )ts and sunbeams (almost - Shelley), and cir cunanavl dance of nebulous Brocken loubt whether you are not tan for kindliness and simi heart al , thrown -a man having his arms ready to be greeting every man . with ab. tg, , devil, ana—like Robert Burns—scarcely him heartily : a German for devoutness of heart, and purity of unadulterated evan gelic feeling, without the least notion, at the same time, of what •in Scotland we call orthodoxy, much less of what in England they call Church ; a rare Christian ; a man whom you cannot read and relish thoroughly unless you are a Christian yourself, any more than you can the gospel of John. For Richter also is a preacher in his own way—a smiling, sporting, nay a jesting preacher at times, but with a deep background of earnest ness : his jests being the jests not of rude men, but of innocent children ; his earnestness the earnestness not of a sour presbyterian theologian, but of a strong-sighted seraph that looks the sun in the face, and becomes in tensely bright. A German further is Richter, and better than a German, in the profoundness of his philosophy and the subtlety of his speculation : a speculation pro found, but not dark; a subtlety nice without being fini cal, and delicate without being meagre. A German further, and specially, is this man, in his vast and various erudition, and in that quality without which learning was never achieved, hard laboriousness and indefatigable perseverance. It is incredible what books he read : not merely literary books, but also and principally scientific hooks ; natural history especially in all its branches, from the star to the star-fish quarto upon quarto of piously-gathered extracts were the we'l quarried mate rials out of which his most light and fantastic, as well as his most solid and architectural fabrics were raised : a merit of the highest order in our estimation : an offence and a scandal to many; for nothing offends cenceited and shallow readers so much as to find i.. un imaginative ork allusions to grave scientific facts, of which their butt, rfly-spirits are incapable. Then, over and above all this, Richter possesses a virtue which only a few Ger mans possess : he is a man of infinite humour; humour, too. of the best kind; sportive, sunny, and genial, rather than cutting and sarcastic ; broad without being gross, refined without being affected. Then his faults, also — and their name is legion—h aw German are they ! His want of taste, his mingled homeliness and sublimity, his unpruned luxuriance, his sentimental wantonness ! But let these pass ; he who notices them seriously is not fit to read Richter. It requires a certain delicate tact of finger to pluck the rose on this rich bush without being pricked and lime ; John Bull especially, with his atone his statutable religion and his direct understanding, is very apt to be exas peratedi sthis by h jerking electric points of such a railroad by t h e tho r n church, capricious s s as Richter. On the pediment of temple w e wou ld place in large letters t genuine strange Germant the cap the cry of the Cumsaan Sibyl in Virgil— " Procul, 0 procul este, profani 1" Let no mere mathematician, no mere Benthamite, no mere mechanist, no mere botanist,' no mere man of taste, and trim man of measored syllables, enterVaere. Procul, 0 procul eate, profanf It is enchanted ground. We have no quarrel with you; we quarrel with nobody, only keep your own ground, in Goct'sjnarne, and. don't quarrel with us and our German fried Paul." Then is transcribed the touching narrative of Jean Paul Richter's death. Listen I. " Noon had by this time arrived. Richter, thinking it was night, said:=:-.*lt was time to go to rest!' and wished to retire. He was wheeled into his sleeping apartment, and all was arranged as if for repose ; a small table near his bed, with a glass of water, and his two watches, a common one and a repeater. His wife now brought him a wreath of flowers that a lady had sent him, for every one wished to add some charm to his last days. As he touched them carefully, for he could neither see nor smell them, he seemed to rejoice in the images of the flowers in his mind, for he said repeatedly to Caroline— ' My beautiful flowers, my lovely flowers!' " Although his friends sat around the bed, as he imagined it was night, they conversed no longer be arranged his arms as if preparing for repose, which was to be to him the repose of death, and soon sank into a tranquil sleep. " Deep silence pervaded the apartment. Caroline sat at the head of the bed, with her eyes immovably fixed on the face of her beloved husband. Otto had retired, and the nephew sat with Plato's Phaedon in his hand, open at the death of Socrates. At that moment a tall and beautiful form entered the chamber ; and, at the foot of the bed, with his hands raised to heaven, and deeply moved, he repeated aloud the prayer of his Mosaic faith. It was Emanuel, and next to Otto, the most beloved of Richter's friends. " About six o'clock the physician entered. Richter yet appeared to sleep ; his features became every moment holier, his brow more heavenly, but it was col.l as marble to the touch ; and as the tears of his wife fell upon it he r ema i ne d i mm ovable. At length his respira tion became less regular, but his features always calmer, more heavenly. A slight convulsion passed over the face ; the phy s i c i an cr i e d That is death !' and all was quiet. The spirit had departed! " All sank, praying, upon their knees. This moment, that raised th em above the earth with the departing spirit, admitted of no tears ! ' Thus Richter went from earth, great and holy as a poet , greater and holier as a man! " ' Alas ! for the deathbed even as beautiful as this, the quenching of the life of the loved and loving I DOMBEY AND SOIV o. X. By C. Dickens. Lucretia Tox discloses her secret aspirations to the hand of Dombey, to the sister of the said Dombey, when visited by M rs . Chick in Princess's-place. The description of Miss Tox's sitting r oom an d o f t h e tthis general amusingaspect interview of irl i n C eS s e S.'place (by w hi c h sketch prefaced), is o ne o f th ose odd pieces of minute drawing for which Boz is un rivalled. The breakfast of the fair Lucretia, saith her faithful biographer, was c omposed of her cus tomary viands ; ~ to wit, one French roll r as ped, one egg new laid (or warranted to be), and one little pot of tea, wherein was infused one little silver scoop-full of that herb on behalf of Miss To; and one little scoop-full on behalf of the tea-pot—a eight of fancy in which good housekeepers delight." Clothing her hands in a pair of antique gloves like dead leaves, Lucretia proceeded to arrange her nick nacks as appeared to be her daily wont, among other things attending to the comforts of her bird—"a very —• high-shouldered canar y , stricken i n years, and ~,,,,,A r u mp . l 7,l,hrut.ciPiereing singer ."kneed" a sew wilfre colni e s 7 this rl i n ik ee e s nes s s -P , tiaheeeliwkeell ness unhappily rather of a s p ec i es t h an of an individual.

" Sitting in the window-seat, and looking out upon the sparrows and the blink of sun, Miss Tox thought likewise of her good mamma deceased—sister to the owner of the powdered head and pigtail—of her virtues and her rheumatism. And when a man with bulgy legs, and a rough voice, and a heavy basket on his head that crushed his hat into a mere black muffin, came cry ing flowers down Princes's-place, making his timid little roots of daisies shudder in the vibration of every yell he gave, as though he had been an ogre, hawking little children, summer recollections were so strong upon Mi ss Tox, that she shook her head, and murmured she wuuld be comparatively old before she knew it—which seemed likely." Enter, nevertheless, Mrs. Chick, suffering from a peculiar kind of monosyllabic cough; " a sort of pri mer, or easy introduction to the art of coughing." The dialogue that ensues is ludicrously true to nature. Mrs. Chick announces Dombey's approach ing nuptails with Edith Granger, and Miss Tox swoons in the arms of the wretched native who has just entered the room with a polite message from the Major over the way. Mrs. Chick's eyes are opened, a pair of scales—in her estimation some thing like those used in grocer's shops—falling from them, and she parts in wrath from poor Lucretia Tox. The next chapter is a most touching and powerful fragment of pathetic narrative ; it depicts the growing love of Florence for her second mother, and the anguish of that second mother the night before the marriage. " Slowly and thoughtfully did Edith wander alone through the mansion of which she was so soon to be the lady : and little heed took she of all the elegance and splendour it began to display. The same indomitable haughtiness of soul, the same proud scorn, expressed in eye and lip, the same fierce beauty, only tamed by a sense of its own little worth, and of the little worth of everything around it, went through the grand saloons and halls, and had got loose among the shady trees, and raged and rent themselves. The mimic roses on the walls and floors were set round with sharp thorns, that tore her breast ; in every scrap of gold so dazzling to the eye, she saw some hateful atom of her purchase-mo ney ; the broad high mirrors showed her, at full length, a woman with a noble quality yet dwelling in her nature, who was too false to her better self, and too debased and lost to save herself. She believed that all this was so plain more or less, to all eyes, that she had no resource or power of self-assertion but in pride ; and with this pride, which tortured her own heart night and day, she fought her fate out, braved it, and defied it. " Was this the woman whom Florence—an innocent girl, strong only in her earnestness and simple truth— could so impress and quell, that by her side she was another creature, with her tempest of passion hushed, and her very pride itself subdued ? Was this the wo man who now sat beside her in a carriage, with their arms entwined. and who, when she courted and entreated her to love and trust her, drew her fair head to nestle on her breast, and would have laid down her life to shield it from wrong or harm? " Oh, Edith ! It were well to die, indeed, at such a time ! Better and happier far, perhaps, to die so, Edith, than to live on to the end !" Yet she is calm, ani proud, and self-possessed in the presence of every one. The abysses of her agony and remorse nt her own degradation are unseen. She taunts her mother, and objects to Florence remaining under the protection of Mrs. Skew eon. That decoyed Cleopatra, robed in her greasy flannel gown, with her ashes lying round her on the table and sofa, asks, is she not fit company for a girl ! " What are you, pray? What are you ?" " I have put the question to myself," says Edith, ashy pale, and pointing to the window, "more than once, when I have been sitting there, and some thing in the faded likeness of my sex has wandered past outside; and God knows I have met with my reply." In the privacy of her own chamber she is yet more affected by her situation. " To and fro, and to and fro, and to and fro again, five hundred times, among the splendid preparations for her adornment on the morrow ; with her dark hair shaken down, her dark eyes flashing with a raging light, her broad white bosom red with the cruel grasp of the relentless hand with which she spurned it from her, pacing up and down with an averted head, as if she would avoid the sight of her own fair person, and di vorce herself from its companionship. Thus, in the dead time of the night before her bridal, Edith Granger tregtled with hero unquiet spirit, tearless, friendless,' silent, proud, and uncomplaining." Peeping in at the door of Florence's Tooln, she finds the young girl sleeping soundly, and feels herself irresistibly drawn on towards the couch. "Drawn nearer, nearer, nearer yet ; at last, drawn so near, that stooping down, she pressed her lips to the gentle hand that lay outside the bed, and put it softly to her neck. Its touch was like the prophet's rod of old, upon the rock. Her tears sprung forth beneath it, as she sunk upon her knees, and laid her aching head and streaming hair upon the pillow by its side. " Thus Edith Granger passed the night before her bridal. Thus the sun found her on her bridal morning." Then comes the wedding, preceded by the following beautiful passages : " Dawn, with its passionless blank face, steals shiver ing to the church beneath which lies the dust of little Paul and his mother, and looks in at the windows. It is cold and dark. Night crouches yet, upon the pave ment, and broods, sombre and heavy, in nooks and cor ners of the building. The steeple-clock, perched up abate Ow houses, emerging from beneath another of the countless ripples in the tide of time that regularly roll and break on the eternal shore, is greyly visible, like a stone beacon, recording how the sea flows on ; but within doors, dawn, at first, can only peep at night, and see that it is there. " Hovering feebly round the church, and looking in, dawn moans and weeps for its short reign, and its tears trickle on the window-glass, and the trees against the church wall, bow their heads, and wring their many hands in sympathy. Night, growing pale before it, gra dually fades out of the church, but lingers in the vaults below, and sits upon the coffins. And now comes bright day, burnishing the steeple clock, and reddening the spire, and drying up the tears of dawn, and stifling its complaining ; and the scared dawn, following the night, and chasing it from its last refuge, shrinks into the vaults itself and hides, with a frightened face, among the dead, unt►l night returns, refreshed, to drive it out. " And now, the mice, who have been busier with the prayer-books than their proper owners, and with the hassocks, more worn by their little teeth than by human knees, hide their bright eyes in their boles, and gather closp together in affright at the resounding clashing of the church door. For the beadle, that man of power, comes early this morning with the sexton ; and Mrs. Miff, the wheezy little pew opener—a might; dry old lady, sparely dressed, with not an inch of fulness any where about her—is also here, and has been wai'ing at the church gate halt an , hour, as her place is, for the beadle." Miss Miff comes out wonderfully; so does Mr. Sownds the beadle, who looks upon the bride as " a spanker ;" so does Mr. Toots ; so does his familiar, the Game Chicken, who has been dipping his beak into a tankard of strong beer, and picking up two pounds of beefiteak ; so does Csptain Cuttle ; so does Mrs. Perch, who appears " (but that she always is)" in an interesting situation ; so does Towlinson ; so does Major Bagstock, of whose hand his Royal Highness the late Duke of York did him the honour to observe, Sir, to his Royal Highness the late Duke of Kent, that it was the hand of Josh, a rough and tough, and possibly an up to-snuff old vagabond ; so does Cousin Feenix—Lord Feenix.

FRASER'S MAGAZINE, The number of Fraser for this month opens with a heart-rending account of a three days' residence in the district of Schull during the period of the famine, by Richard Chevenix Trench, M.A. Mr. Trench's visit to this unfortunate district was in the month of April, at a time when fever was completing the work of destruction which famine had begun. Turn we from this scene of misery to another article in the same number, " Outlines in Parliament," by the author of " Literary Legislators "--No. 4. "Some Members of the Irish Party," and there we shall find portraits of SOW 111(34 who oppose the int rgc l uot i on i nto Ireland of a good and erne' ' 4cient system of poor-law relief, which had it ex isted, would, in all human probability, hare prevented the occurrence of these horrible scenes depicted by Mr. C. Trench, and which will yet save thepeople rent ' albeit it may Prevent i nso l ven t landlord: from a ny longer obte r ini ng money (whether in the shape a or leans), under false pretences .

It may be urged, that, I in this country, long and faithful party service is allowed to confef a species of riOt to the rewar& Which, in a well-constituted community, would be reserved for the best in intellect and conduct. But of him it may be answered, that although he served the Whigs much, he served hin3self mo7e; z rnd, further, that althciugh his ierviee of them was zealous, even mean, yet it was on the whole m ore i njuricus than beneficial to the pariy. For, during years when the first talent and ingenuity of the country were employed in undermining them and rendering them ridiculous, the public conduct or Lord Monteagle was one of their most vulnerable points, and, with much exaggeration, no doubt yet at the same time with more truth, he was held up to the world as a type of the pretension, imbecility, and political double-deal ing attributed to those whom their political enemies then designated as an incapable faction. As in the case of one or two prominent members of their present adminis tration, who have apparently been forced upon them by family influence, they would certainly have done much better without Mr. Spring Mee than with him; and it was by no means an improbable hypothesis that he was betinselled with a peerage, and loaded with the dangerous reward of an odious sinecure, more because his reputation had become onerous to his colleagues, than because he had rendered to them or to the country any commensurate service." Then comes a sketch of Mr. Frederick Shaw, a man of spirit and sense, and who, had he less of the odium theologicum about him would have risen high as a statesman. The other members of the Irish party who sat for their portraits this month are Sir H. W. Barron, the Marquis of Westmeath, Mr. Bernal Osborne, and the Earl of Roden. Their dis tinguishing characteristics are hit ofd' to the life. There is only one other political article in Fraser; it is on the Portuguese question. The writer gives a rapid resume of the history of Portugal from the invasion of Junot to the present time. and concludes by expressing his decided disapproba tion of the late intervention of England against the Junta of Oporto. He gives the following as the hy pothesis which foreign nations adopt as to the rationale of that intervention : " The King of Portugal and the husband of our Gracious Sovereign, are near relatives. The King is understood to be more violently opposed than the Queen to constitutional Government in Portugal. Costa Cabral, the bitter enemy of constitutional Government, won his favour by supporting and enriching the German clique, of which M. DietL, a mar particularly obnoxious to the entire nation, is the chief; and Saldanha, if not personally a friend of Cabral, is yet so connected with him and his party, as to depend upon them for making up the Cabinet which he may be expected to form. To place such a man at the head of the Government is, in point of fact, to bring back with the strong hand the faction which is pledged to put down both the charter and the constitution, and had well-nigh succeeded in doing so. England, therefore, in supporting him, sup ports King Ferdinand, Mr. Dietz, and Costa Cabral; in other words, principle and justice are as lightly thought of at St. James's as at the Tuileries, when they stand in the way of family predilections. Now, we repeat, that this stupid argument carries no weight with us, nor will it be listened to by any section of her Majesty's subjects; but is there not just so much of plausibility about it as to make it mischievous elsewhere?" We agree with the writer, that this hypothesis is too absurd ever to gain credence in this country, and independently of its absurdity, it should be recollected that King Ferdinand, and Dietz, and the Cabrals, have ever been the enemies of English interests and English influence in Portugal ; that they are, in fact, the chief of the Afrancesado faction who have been working in conjunction with Christina; Gonzales Bravo, and Narvaez to render French, or rather Orleans influence predominant in the Penin sula—therefore, we at once reject this theory, as im possible; but yet we could have wished that the royal table had not been the first at which Mr. Dietz had partaken of English hospitality, after his arrival in this country from the scene of his intrigues. The literary contents of this number are varied and ex cellent. The lovers of sentimentalism will be de lighted with a review of " nfa ; " for the classic there is a pleasant ramble at the foot of Mount Olympos. The antiquary will revel in the account of Lathom House and the Stanley family, and the admirer of Isaac Walton will he pleased with the sensations of a summer night and morning on the banks of the Thames. The lover of horrors may " sup full of them" in " Death in life," while the lovers of mirth, fun, and jollity will roar over Sam Slick's admirably told story of " Seeing the Devil." There is some • thing to suit every class of readers in the current number of Fraser. PROGRES OF DISC.OVERY.7.. * tc.4 (From *A a:barnstown Journlll l, '*: The following is th account given bylh.,:iN'homrrs Mitchell of the most important discovery made. by him in his recent exploratory journey in New Holland. His dispatch is datitl— _. l -I •, - 4 - Cullpysn the River Baloiane, in 10n. 4 f48 deg. 46 min. 44 sec. E., lat. 2S deg. 2 miii. S. . On ascending the range early nextmorning, I saw open' down and plains with a line of river iu the midst, the whole extending to the N.N.W., as far as the horizon. Following down the little stream from the valley in which I had passed the night I soon reached the open country, and during ten successive days I pursued the course of that river, through the same sort of country, each day as far as my horse could carry me, and in the same di ' rection, again approaching the trcpic of Capricorn. In some parts the river formed splendid reaches, as i broad and important as the River Murray ; in others, it spread into tour or five channels, some of them several miles apart; but the whole country is better watered than any other portion of Australia that I have seen by numerous tributaries arising in the Downs. The soil consists of rich clay, and the hollows give birth to water-courses, in most of which water was abundant. I found at length that I might travel in any direction and find water at hand, without having to seek the river except when I wished to ascertain its general course and observe its character. The grass consists of panicum, and several new sorts, one of which springs green from the old stem. The plains were verdant ; indeed, the luxuriant pasturage surpassed in quality, as it did in extent, any thing of the kind I had ever seen. The myall tree and salt bush (acacia pendula and salsolse), so essen tial to a good run, are also there. New birds and new plants marked this out as an essentially different region from any I had previously explored ; and although I could not follow the river throughout its long course at that advanced season, I was con vinced that its estuary was in the Gulf of Carpen taria. ; at all events, the country is open and well watered for a direct route thereto. That the river is the most important of Australia increasing as it does by successive tributaries, and not a mere product of distant ranges, admits of no dispute ; and the downs and plains of Central Australia through which it flows, seem suffi cient to supply the whole world with animal food. The natives are few and inoffensive ; I happened to surprise one tribe at a lagoon, who did not seem to be aware that such strangers were in that country ; our number being so small, they seemed inclined to follow us. I crossed the river at the lowest point I reached, in a great south ern bend, in lon. 144 deg. 44 sec. E., lat. 24 deg. 14 sec. S., and from rising ground. beyond the lett bank I could trace its downward course far to the northward. I saw no callitris (pine of the colonists) in all that country, but a range showing sandstone cliffs appeared to the southward. in longitude about 145 deg:. E., latitude 24 deg. 38 min. S. The country to the northward of the river iA, upon the whole, the best ; yet, in riding ninety miles due east, where I crossed the southern bend, I found plenty of water and excellent grass ; a red gravel !here approaches the river, throwing it off to the north• ward. _ . . . - The discovery of this river, and the country through which it flows, was more gratifying to me alter having been disappointed in the courses of so many others. The Cogoon, the Maranoa, the \Varrego, the SAlvaor, the Claude, the 11-Iyando, and the Nive, are, nevertheless, important rivers, and a thorough investigation of the mountain ranges in which they originate, will enable me, I trust, to lay before your Excellency such a m-^ of those parts of Australia as may Brent' - ' immediate occupation of +' throurth ._ -r _ - --7 i twilit - ate the --. coniiti - y, and the extension . ~1 a tniioughfare t o the Gulf of Carpentaria. td Vvhioli the Chita way is thus laid open.

It is neerilessF -- :": 4) --. to say that the refusal of the House of Lords on 'rittilLY=::::); night to suspend the standing orders in favour of the promoters of the Amalgamation Bill has very consider ably altered the respective position of the contending parties. Mr. P. H. Muntz occupied the chair, and, as usual, Mr. Russell, M.P. (chairman), Mr. Saunders (secretary), and other officials of the Great Western, were in attendance. The first question propounded by Mr. Mozley, the leader of the dissentient shareholders, was as to whether or not the directors were prepared to submit any terms of arrangement to the proprietary. As far as he (Mr. Mozley) was concerned, he would state that he had thrown no obstacle in the way of an amicable settlement of all differences. He believed that the contention, if continued, would be injurious and disas trous, not only to the directors, but to all others inte rested in the property of which they (the directors) were the trustees. He (Mr. Mozley) had to complain that, although an appointed director, he had no means of be coming acquainted excepting almost by force, with the business of the board of directors. Against the chairman, however, he had no personal complaint to make. On the other hand, he believed that if all the members of that body had taken the same course as their Hon. Chairman had done, the present position of the company would have been very different. He (Mr. Mozley), as director, was ignorant of the stated time of the meetings of that board, and he was at a loss to know how it was that a mere section of the directors could legally carry on the affairs of the company. Every member was assuredly entitled to be made acquainted with every particular of the business transacted. The CHAIRMAN observed that no meetings of the board of directors had been held. Mr. MoZLEY—A vast amount of business had been transacted. He should like to know how it had been done, and by whom? The CIIAIRMAN—The directors were called together when a meeting was necessary, and in the mean time ' a committee —the appointed executive—transacted the business. Mr. MOZLEY—There had been a large outlay of money. Who gave the cheques? THE CHAIRMAN—The finance committee. Mr. MOZLEY—Was he to understand that the finance committee, without the supervision of the board of directors, transacted the money affairs of the company ? The CHAIRMAN—The finance committee was appoint eilby- the board of directors. MOZLEY—He had been informed that recently a gentleman occupying a high position in society had proposed certain terms of arrangement between parties. He wished to ask the chairman whether he was aware of that fact ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that he had not the slightest knowledge of the circumstance to which the Eton. Pro prietor alluded. Mr. MozLEY—All he could say was that he believed their chairman ; but he (Mr. Mozley) had heard such a statement from authority. Before proceeding to the immediate business of the day he wished to remark, that he bad heard that before the time at which the sale to the Great Western was proposed, other agreements, although not laid before the shareholders, existed ; and he and those with whom he acted thought that all such agreements, being bond fide, shou'd be maintained and acted upon in good faith. He, therefore, with the hope and the expressed intention of assisting the directors in the accomplishment of such objects, begged leave, preparatory to other business, to propose the following resolution " That this meeting, considering the main objects of the Bill now before Parliament to enable the Birming ham and Oxford Junction Railway Company to make certain alterations in the line of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway, and to purcht,e tie Stratford on- Avon canal navigation, and tor other purposes, to be consistent with the interests of the shareholders, de sires to express its concurrence in the provisions of such Bill, excepting those which confer power on the Great 'Western Company to subscribe for, or to purchase and hold shares in this company wider the alleged agree ment, to the terms of whicti the shareholders in this company object, and which enable the Great Western Railway Company to raise capital for that purpose, and to vote in respe thereof; of which provisions in the present state of the matter this meeting cannot approve; and this meeting, understanding that certain share holders have petitioned the House of Lards against such Bill on standing orders, respectfull3 request those share holders not to proceed further with such petition pro vided the objectionable provisions before referred to are withdrawn ; and cloth hereby express the desire of the shareholders that, subject to the withdrawal of such provisions, the said Bill should be allowed to proceed without tamper opposition in Parliament." ?Ir. C. lI.rJoNEs seconded the resolution. 4 1'he - CIIMAN said he did not see any objection to the resolutM, but Mr. Mozley must be aware that no no tice had appeared of any resolution to that efftct being brought fore ardlit that meeting. He believed, too, that such a resolution was. altogether unnecessary, even for rpes e,s conterverted by its proposers. The House orLords would require the standing orders to be COM.. p4pd with; but if unopposed, or if the opposition was withdrawn, it was possible the Bill in question, having for its object the purchase of the Stratford canal, might be allowed to go forward. Mr. MOZLEY observed, that the Chairman must exer— cise his own discretion. If the resolution was wrong it would be ineffective; if it was right it would assist, as it was intended, the directors. The CHAIRMAN was sure Mr. Mozley would see that the resolution did not come within the objects contem plated or named in the advertisement calling the present meeting. Mr. MOZLEY, after some further conversation, with drew the resolution, stating that he should bring it for ward at the close of the meeting, when ➢ir. Muntz had left the chair. The Chairman then, at the request of Mr. Mozley, banded back his resolution. The CHAIRMAN intimated that Mr. Mozley could adopt any course he chose. Mr. MosLE , / again expressed his deep regret that the dissensions which prevailed between the directors and the shareholders had not been brought to a close. A fearful responsibility rested upon those by whom it was continued. He believed that as regarded the con struction of this line and its management, an expenditure had been incurred unparalleled in railway history. He had again to complain that as a director he had been re.. fused the inspection of certain deeds in the possession of the board of directors, as trustees of the company-- deeds for which he, as a director, was responsible. He was bound in justice to state that the Hon. Proprietor whom he saw opposite (Mr. Russell, the chairman of the Great Western) had fully admitted the principle for which he contended, and said that he was fully entitled to the inspection of the deeds in question. Tho only way to keep directors under control was to be able to subject them continuously to the power of general meet ings. After some further observations, the Hon. Gen tleman concluded by stating that he should move another adjournment; they had now a meeting, and he w ag anxious that it should not be concluded without giving the directors an opportunity of submitting the proposi tion of some arrangement to the shareholders. He begged leave to move the following resolution : " That this meeting be and the same is hereby ad journed until Monday, the 12th day of July next, at one o'clock in the afternoon, at Dee's Royal Hotel, in Birmingham, when the consideration of all and singular the matters mentioned and referred to in the requisition of the 29th day of April last, under which this meeting is held, will be resumed, if neces,ry." Mr. TURNER seconded the motion• Mr. STEVENS and the CHAIRMAN mutually explained respecting the refusal to allow Mr. Mozley the inspection of some deeds executed before that gentleman became a director. The existence of these "subsidiary agree ments," it appeared, came out before the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Lords, and Mr. M , aley, as a director, demanding an imp, ction of them, he was refused, unless upon a motion he obtained an order from the Board of Directors.
