SECRETARY E. Clayton, Esq. IHE Directors have the satisfaction to announce , tha the Plans and Books of Reference for the Line, be tween London and Oxford, required by the Standing Or ders of both Houses of Parliament, are in such a state of forwardness; that the Shareholders may rely upon their being deposited in due time for application to Parliament in the ensuing Session. The Directors, after mature deliberation, and in the ex ercise of the powers vested in them by the Company's Deed, have determined to confine their application to a Line from London to Oxford only, with a , Branch to Thame. They have been induced to adopt this course, conceiving that the ground beyond Oxford has been vir tually conceded to the Great Western Railway Company, in consequence of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway having, contrary to general e-,zpectation, received the sanction of Parliament since this , Line was first brought before the Public ; a contest, therefore, for such grourd would only involve heavy and useless expen diture, without any prospect of a favourable result. The Line which the Directors have now determined to apply for, is one which is universally admitted to be re. quired for the convenipnce of the Inhabitants of the Counties of Oxford and Buckingham, and for jhe accom modation of that Traffic which will be concentrated at Oxford by the Cheltenham, Worcester, Birmingham, and Rugby Lines, and which this Line will convey to London by a route ten miles shorter than any one now existing. The Traffic Tables show that there will be a large remu neration for the Capital proposed to be expended ; and there is every reason to believe, that in this, as in all other instances. when Railway accommodation is supplied, the Traffic which in former years passed between Oxford and the Metropolis, and through the Towns along this Line, now wholly unprovided with railway communica tion, will be very materially increased by the greater fa cility thus afforded.

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S HOWQUA'S MIXTURE TEA is.c.n admixture of 40 rare Black Teas, produced on as many different plantations, each Tea differing from the rest, and possessing a flavour, a fragrance, or strength, Peculiar to itelf. Blended together in the proper pro- Portions, they comprise all that is desirable in Tea. This discovery was riot the effect of chance, but of many great advantages united in one individual, and the result of numerous experiments •end the most minute analysis. For another to produce the same result, he must possess equal skill, the •same discriminating taste, equal power of Procuring the forty various Teas required, and know the exact proportions.of each kind used—acid though be may never once have visited China, he must have had equal opportunities of securing to himself, its productions : With one. who, like. Captain Pidding, has spent years there in acquiring these advantages, and to whom alone How 'qua—years before his death—imparted at Canton, the secret of compounding his Mixture. Yet there are upwards of 500 retailers pretending to sell lea, they call " Howqua's Mixture "—each mixture dif fering from all the others. Now as there can be but ox..c AEAL •‘ liowqua's Mixture," it follows that. as 500 dif ferent medleys are offered-499 must be spurious. The 4 99 counterfeits are so many evidences of the superiority of the ONE GENUINE. And it would be absurd to suppose that Captain Pidding, with advantages, the result of Eight : Voyages made to China, and five years spent in that country, would be so silly —even were it possible—as to Yield them up to 500 others, or impart to them so valuable a secret. The:very great celebriety this Tea has acquired, having tempted many unprincipled persons to give similar, or nearly similar titles to their own spurious mixtures, to euar.d against such imposition, , Fucchasers should observe that .4 THE SIGNATURE THUS, Captain JOHN RHODES PIDDING, Honourable Company's Service, is on every genuine Package. To those.vrbo drink Green Tea, "Captain Pidding's Howqua's Small Leaf Gunpowder," grown only on one estate, is recommended for its strength and economy, and as being the purist and moat wholesome Green Tea im- Ported from China.

THE EASTERN DISPENSARY. AT a SPECIAL MEETING of the C O MMITTEE of the EASTERN DISPENSARY, held on the 14th instant, The Rev. FIELDING OULD in the Chair ; The Treasurer having called their attention to the state of the Finances, by which it appeared that the debts due from that Institution at the end of the current year would amount to upwards of £6OO, It was Resolved,—That an Appeal be made to the Pub lic, with a view of obtaining their assistance to liquidate this heavy claim. The following statement of facts is, therefore, submit ted to the consideration of the Inhabitants of this Town : That the number of Patients who have received Medical Advice and Medicines at this Dispensary, from the year 1839 to the present time, are upwards of 30,000, at the cost only of about £2OOO, which sum includes the above mentioned debt, at the small sum of Is. sd. per head. The expenses of every sort have been reduced to the very lowest amount consistent with the necessary wants of the Patients ; and unless the debt can be cleared off and the subscriptions incre.ised to upwards of £3OO, the Committee must be under the painful necessity of closing the Dispensary, to the great loss and discomfiture of the Sick Poor in the densely popul.ated district in which it is situated. It is necessary to observe, that this Institution was.not established in opposition to the other Dispensaries, but to co-operate with them in their charitable view of enabling the Sick Poor to get Medical Advice and Medicines, who otherwise would be compelled to go from the centre of the Town to the North or South Dispensary, which generally lost them a whole day. Subscriptions and donations will be thankfully received by the Treasurer, the Members of the Committee, at the Dispensary, and at the different Newspaper offices.

Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severe as the tradesman or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and ruin on families.

The provincial executive, however, being under the im pression that the `existing laws' had no power to check their course of legislation, sent some fellows about six months ago to give Molowney warning to quit. They then attacked him, and drove him off his own land. This warning not producing the desired effect, on last Sunday, the day generally selected for deeds of blood, four men, two of whom were armed, entered his house after dusk, and beat the unfortunate man to such an extent, that his death ensued in about 21 hours after.

At the outports about 90 beasts and 150 sheep have come to hand from Holland. From our own grazing districts, the arri vals of beasts fresh up th's morning were large, even the time of year considered, arid of full average quality, especially as re lates to those from the western counties. As was the case on this day se'nnight the attendance of buyers was numerous, owing to which the beef trade was steady, and last week's quo tations were well supported. The no , thern drovers comprised 1800 shorthorns; those from the western and midland districts 800 Herefords. Devens, runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from Ireland, 200 beasts, and from Scotland, 100 Scots. The supply of sheep exhibited a slight falling off. Prime Al Downs sold readily, at very full prices, viz., from 4s 10d to 5s per 8 lb., but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, at barely sta tionary figures. In calves only a limited business was transacted. In prices we can notice no alteration. Although the number of pigs was good, the pork trade ruled firm at late rates. PRICES OF STOCKS, &c.— YysTFFDAy. For transfer to-morrow Consols have touched 941 to 95. Time bargains have been made at 95 to 951. The better tone of the Ame rican advices received on Saturday has imparted firmness to the market, but it remains to be seen, whether a fresh supply of stock will be brought to sale every time a rally occurs. The Reduced 3 per Cents have realised 933 to 93/-, and the New 3i per Cents. 951 to 951. The premium on Exchequer Bills has been rather flat at 19s. to 21s. On the East India Bonds under £l,OOO, it is 385. There have been no bargains in Bank Stock. The Foreign investments have been less heavy, and the quota tions have in some cases improved a little, although the trans actions are not imrortal•t. Spanish Five per Cents have been 271 for money. and 271 for account ; the Three per Cents are 362 to 37i. Portuguese Four per Cents are marked 57. Mexi can Stock has alternated from 304 to 3 1 . The Deferred were at 16-i. Dutch Two and a half per Cents have been at 58i. LONDON SHARE MARKET—YESTERDAY. • The railway companies which have succeeded in depositing their plans are much more numerous than was expected, but no doubt exists that in many cases the drawings, &c., will be imperfect. The dispute between the Brighton and Croydon companies excites a good deal of attention, but the shares of the former have advanced. The current quotations have been 594 to 602. Croydon are steady at 18 to 183. Great Western shares have touched 142 and 143, Lir mingham are quiet at 207, Trent Valley have improved to 14 and I 1 15, Cambridge and Lincoln 3 to 33, and London and York 3i to 31.

On Wednesday she watched the opportunity when the schoolmistress was gone to her tea, and stole into her room, where she procured the key of the gate leading to the kitchen, which she opened and went out; she shortly afterwards returned with a pail which she had partly filled from a copper of boiling tea, and placed it on a stool; she then took one of the children and attempted to place it in the boiling liquid, but it got away from her; she then seized her innocent victim, and, pulling off its shoes and stockings. placed it in the pail, and is order to stifle its cries, she forced a leather ball into its mouth, at the same time pressing its knees so as to prevent the withdrawing of the feet from the horrible tor ture it was enduring. Mr. P. W. Jacob, the sur geon of the union, described the injuries the poor child had received ; ho said he found both her feet severeiy scalded ; the skin of the sole of the right foot had come off in one piece, and that on the left was very loose. He thought there would be a contraction and deformity of the feet, and, on account of the constitutional disturbance and depression arising from the severity of the scalding, he did not consider her out of danger. The prisoner, who is illegi timate, was formerly in the old workhouse at Strood, and when the union was formed she was removed to that esta blishment. In 1543 she was taken out by parties said to be her parents, but in August last she was again found at the gate of the union workhouse, where she said she had been left by a woman named Phillips, her mother having run away. She admitted the offence, and told an improbable story of having assisted her father in skinning cats after they were worried by dogs and put in hot water, and said that her father and mother had threatuned to kill her if she did not scald the child. She was committed to Maidstone gaol for trial at the next quarter sessions for Rochester. THE GAMBLER'S CAREER.—The Emperor Alexander does not appear to have been so tolerant of play as his brother Nicholas. M. de la Garde's book contains many proofs of this. But the imperial displeasure seems to have been disregarded, or risked to be repented of too late. We read here of noblemen losing millions upon millions of roubles in one night ; of others reduced from their high estate to become absolute beggars ; friend not only plays with friend, but premeditatedly robs him too. The course of " Riley of Bath" is one not at all unsuited to our pages. The career of such a professor is a homily against his profession, and never had career so pointed a moral as his. But we are compelled, reluctantly, to give way to those who have better claim to the attention of our readers. Let it suffice to say, that Riley lived a life of the most gorgeous luxury and extravagance—that he was the companion of sovereigns—that he squandered money with a profusion amounting to insanity, and won it by a good fortune that seemed connected with the su pernatural ; nor was he free from generous and daring sentiments. Ile, on one occasion, risked an entire fortune on the hazard of the die, against a Russian estate, the slaves on which he was desirous of restoring to freedom. He succeeded in his attempt, and accomplished his de sire. Subsequently he ran a brief course of dazzling splendour : he lived in palaces, continued to play, became unlucky, and found fortune, wealth, and friends desert him. At length, the once possessor of millions was seen wandering through the streets of London, naked, fa mished, and penniless; and finally, he who had feasted emperors, and fared sumptuously every day, died of ab solute starvation in one of the miserable alleys of our great metropolis. Such is the course of a gamester 1— t hurch of Enyland Quarterly. CRUEL PUNISHMENT AT SEA PRESENT POLITICAL STATE OF THE WORLD (From the Eco del Comarcio.) " A general panic prevails ; the period of disturbance is very distant, because the people are happy ; prosperity overflows in all directions, the principles of orr'er have become fixed, and revolutionary theories have List their influence." Thus do the Ministerial organs express themselves in all the states of Europe; of these facts do the statesmen who now direct the destinies of the world endeavour to persuade us; and yet, notwithstanding, the people remark a manifest difference between these words and partial acts. " The peace is profound 1" and yet all are making pre parations for war—all are observing, spying, fearing, fawning upon, and detesting each other. " The peace is profound !" yet, at this time, there are more warriors, and more implements of war, more fortifications are raised, and more marine armaments arc fitted out, than during the first fourteen years of the present century. "The disturbance of the peace is very remote," say politicians, whilst all the armies of Europe are up in arms awaiting and fearing the first cannonade of alarm. " The people are happy," they likewise say, " whilst in England they have on their hands the famishing Irish, and stand in fear of the lower orders, who are una'ale to find employment for their sinewy arms, or land on which to work ; in Italy thousands of citizens are compelled to emigrate, whilst others are immured in the State dun geons ; in Germany, are germinating political and religi ous exigencies ; in Russia, the Ca.icasus -is looked upon as the tomb of its warriors ; in Portugal and Spain, a hundred parties are struggling simultaneously in order to gain the upper hand and to satiate their thirst for ven geance. Such is the boasted felicity of the nations of Europe I " The principles of order have become fixed," simulta neously proclaim our politicians. Assuredly ; but it is the order of tombs, the order of bayonets, the order of the e'mentes of Paris—the order of the Councils of War, of the Swiss guards of Italy—the order of the " exceptional state" of our governors in the different provinces of ;the Peninsula, and that which Costa Cabral employs with the Portuguese. This order is the precursor of peace, and the complement of the felicity of nations! Unfortunate nations ! The cynicism of the statesmen who govern them makes the people desire the destructive azote of war, in order that a period may be put to their sufferings, and to so much misery and agitation. The condition of Europe, like that of the entire politi cal world, is an unnatural one, and must terminate in a violent explosion. The grand question at present agitated may be founded upon the principles of democracy and those of despotism, these two elements have ostensibly been at unceasing variance for the last sixty years. Up to the present period there has not been found any states man competent to reconcile them with each other; afl have sought to reduce them by half measures to one single and common principle; and all have been ship , wrecked with their schemes, inflaming still more violently the popular passions, and rendering the task of concilia tion more difficult. THE ATTEMPT TO SCUTTLE THE BARK " CHAMPLAIN" ON THE HIGH SEAS. Some weeks ago seven seamen, who had been brought home from America in custody, were charged, before Mr. Rushton, with this offence, on tie evidence of the mate of the Champlain, which was published at the time. The prisoners were remanded, in order that the evidence of the captain might also be taken, and he having arrived in charge of the vessel in which the occurrence took place, they were again brought up in the police court yesterday. The witness's testimony was so nearly the same as that of the mate, that the following will suffice. The vessel sailed with a cargo of timber from St. John's, New Brunswick, on the 21st of August. Soon after putting to sea, the vessel beg , n to make water, to the surprise of the captain, as she had been thoroughly calked, and the weather was fine. The prisoners formed part of the crew, and were at first eight in number, but one of there escaped from prison in America. The names of the seven are Matthews, Bode, flincker, Nl`Cann. Copplestone, Watson, and Sheazel. On Saturday, the 231 of August, in the morning, they all went aft, and Boyle, as spokes man, said it was of no use to .t the ship should go back, and they would go no further in her. Tne captain said he should not return to port. Boyle Om ordered the man at the helm to put it up, and asked the others to square the main yard. The captain resisted this, and the prisoners then endeav rF - ured to square yard, so that the ship might not continue her course. This, however, was frustrated by 'he captain, and the prisoners all went below, and refused to work, though it began to blow, leaving the captain, the mate, and the cook only, to work the ship as they could. The captain suspected that the prisoners wisht d to return to port, as their shipping notes, amounting to half the amount for the run home, would be paid in three days after their having sailed. Meantime, the vessel began to make much water, which increased towards next day, when there was eight and a half feet of it in the hold. The captain and his only two assistants then gave up pumping as useless, and after this the water increased but very slowly, though it nearly reached nine feet.' The prisoners were repeatedly asked to [ump the ship,' but refused. Boyle afterwards came aft, and wanted bread for himself and his companions, but the captain refused to give them any, or other provisions until the ship was pumped out. Boyle said to this that, " they would let the water come up to the forecastle deck, and then take the boats, and leave the captain to walk the plank." At length a vessel called the Noble (seeing the Champlain's colours tvisted union down) bore down, and sent the second mate on board, who piloted the vessel into Macchias, the nearest attainable port in the State of Maine. On the way thither the captain discovered that two holes had been bored with an augur through the bows of the vessel, under water, and that these bad been clumsily plugged up from the inside of the vessel, which accounted for the leakege being re.iuced. On the day before he had observed the prfsoner Cheazil in the fore castle hand to another, (Mathews, the carpenter,) two augurs, which had before been.seen in the ship. On ar riving at Macchias the ship was surveyed, and was found bored and plugged as stated. The vessel was otherwise sound, and when the holes were properly plugged she made only l inch of water in 24 hours. Information was given to the authorities and to the British Consul; who investigated the case, and handed over the prisoners to be sent home. The prisoner Mathews insisted, after being cautioned, on putting in a written statement which, however, so far from being a defence, corroborated or admitted in almost every point the strong inculpatory evidence of the captain.—With a view we presume to having this evidence reduced to writing, the prisoners were remanded until one o'clock this day, when there ap pears to be no question but the whole of them will be committed to take their trial at the ensuing assizes. THE OREGON TERRITORY The New York correspondent of the London Times. under the signature of " A Genevese Tray informed persons of ,00king ward to a re-election► for a thinks can o Iv be accomplis' tertain, that the 13ritiii Government continuation of peace ut shall be no sacrifice of hor. the following important observations on this subject in his letter received by the Caledonia. Ile has already Proved himself a gentleman of enlightened mind, and his information is considered by all w considerable value : In relation to Oregon everything is enveloped in mys tery. The Cabinet is not, and cannot be, united on that question. The West is furious for taking immediate pos session; the South, while annexation was pending, was apparently of the same way of thinking; but they are not now for hazarding a war until every honourable means for an adjustment shall have been exhausted. "i he president, as I have said on a former occasion, is courting the West, and dares not hazard their displeasure. No matter what he says, or what his friends may _ for- I this he active lead in his behalf; but here there is a lion in the way. Mr. Walker, Secretary of the Treasury is from the West. lie is for taking possession of Oregon forth with. He is a roost violent champion of free trade, and with all these sympathies and qualifications is, and pro bably will remain a candidate for tlic Presidency. _ _ _ In this view of the subject there can be very little doubt that the President will sugg- st to Congress that some prompt measure, in reference to:taking possession of Ore gon, should be adopted, and that in any event the joint occupancy of the territory should b., terminated. Mr. Polk has placed himself, before his party and the world, in such a position that he cannot remain silent, unless the negotiation is progressing. In t , ,e House of Representatives there is about 60 majority of his party friends; in the Senate, six majority. If this majority acts in concert, they possess the power to carry any measure they please. On all subjects but the tariff asd war, in my opinion, they will thus act. But the Pennsylvania and New York Locofocus : and perhaps others, will not consent to a free-trade tariff. Nor will the Southern Administration men, generally, consent to adopt any measure the tendet.ey of which is to provoke war, What, then, is the position of Mr. Pulk ? and what the result of his policy. In my opinion, he will urge most strenuously, publicly and privately, the termination of the joint occupancy, and the establishment of military posts in the Oregon territory. The House of Representatives will, probably, adopt such a measure; and if it be certain, as I think it will be, that the Senate will reject it, they will adopt it by an overwhelming majority; but the Senate being a more permanent, is a more calm and deliberate body, and will hearken to no measure calculated to inflame the passions and to produce a desolating war, so long as the door is open for amicable negotiation. It is known to every man of common sense in the country, that the United States is in a more unprepared situation for a war than they were in 1812. Their com merce, at the present moment, whitens every sea. By means of embargoes, &c., in 1812, it was nearly all at home. The government has now in its treasury about 7,000,000 dollars, %Hell, it is thought, will be exhausted when the Texas expenditures are paid. In truth, if the administration seriously intend immediate war on account of Oregon, they are not fanatics, but lunatics. Mr. Polk may, and I believe does, wish such a state of things. thinking it might promot e hi s po li t i ca l v i ew s; but the people, the American People, neither wish nor anticipate a war.
