CLERGYMEN RAILWAY DIRECTORS. — The Bishop of Exeter's letter having caused much discussion on this sub ject, and it being desirable to have eminent legal opinion as to the law of the case, Mr. W. B.

Accordingly, fully warrants the worst which we have had to say, as to the complainant, with his clerk, waited on the secretary, the lawless and murderous state of society in that part of to state these facts. That gentleman said that, under the oared to become carriers themselves. (Hear, hear.) The hon. gentleman having gone at some length into the benefits likely to arise from the amalgamation, &c., the secretary read the report, from which we give the principal passages :—ln reference to the amalgamation ,on and Brighton has amalgamated with the b-tween the London and Birmingham and the Grand London and Croydon. £5O shares in the Brighton are Junction Companies, the report states, that a balance to be considered as £5O, and .£2O shares in the Croydon of adjustment was struck, and adds — as £lB 108., an every less share in either company is to "In virtue of this adjustment the London and Birmingham be considered in the same relative proportion. capital is taken at £8,653,7.50, and the Grand Junction capital at -..ting of the Bristol and Exeter Railway X 5,78,9,560, making together a consolidated fund of £14,442,316, . the future dividends of the amalgamated companies are to LI Wllll.ll LUC • MY,GIa , • e calculated, and for this purpose the receipts are from and after he Ist July last to constitute one common fund. In regard to the aanagement of the amalgamated concern, it is mutually agreed hat for the first five years there shall be one united board, whose aeeting, shall be held monthly, or as may be found convenient, to onsist of members selected in the first instance from the present lirection of each company, in the proportion of eight London and 3trraingham directors to six Grand Junction. The united board o discuss and settle all matters of general policy. The London Lnd Birmingham line proper being worked in respect of all details, inder a committee sitting in: London, composed of twenty-four ctors, and the Grand Junction proper being worked, as respects letails, under a committee sitting in Liverpool, and composed of teen Grand Junction direCtors, or sub-committee of either Tpeciively." The report refers to the increased means which will afforded by the amiygamation, of "providing for the convenience the public, and of adopting such moderate rates and fares as not fail to be satisfactory to them." It then states the terms of altered agreement with the Manchester and ' irmingham Com iy, viz. that the capital of the Manchester and Birmingham Com- aui . shall be taken at £2,800,0"0, £700,000 of which is not to be entitled to any dividend before the Ist February, 1849, but may be capitalised at any time. The powers of the Manchester and Bir mingham Company under their acts to raise additional capital are not to be exercised, without the consent of the London and Bir mingham Company to guarantee to the Manchester and Birming ham Company a dividend of eight per cent from the Ist February to the 31st July, 1846, on the paid up capital of £1,440,000. From that date to the Ist of February, 1847, at the rate of nine per cent per annum on the portion paid up of the capital of £1,800,000, at the same rate on the portion paid up of the raptal of £2,100,01.0, and from and after the Ist February, 1848, a dividend ui the same capital, at a rate equal to wha a total capital of £2,1 as the capital 0f .

Mr. William Entwisle would give a most decided denial to a rumour that he had been very busy in obtaining pro- xies against the proposal of the directo-s : there was no truth whatever it, the report. He certiinly thought that the Manchester and Birmingham Company had obtained terms much too advantageous, and he said that the ac counts on which the agreement had been founded ought to be laid before the proprietors, and time given them for considering them. He would net move any amendment, but he certainly would hold up his hand against it. impressed under very considerable alarm ; and although he saw that the offer they made was very much aeainst their own interests, it was not his duty to point it out. The directors bad gone minutely into toe figures fur nished by the Manchester and Birmingham Company; they believed they were fully correct; and unanimously recommended the proprietors t , sanction the agreement. Besides, proprietors would easily see that there were other considerations which ought to induce them to take steps to prevent that line falling into other hands.—(Hear, hear.) Toe re-olution was then put and carried, with only one dissentient—(Mr. Entwisle.) —The resolution for the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Company with that of the Grand Junction then passed by acclama tion. Another resolution was passed, granting powers to the directors to carry out the preceding motions. After a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the pro ceedings terminated. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER (From the "London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.") Cachemires cordoling, cachemires granedine, seliciennes, crapes cachemire, are worn for carriage dresses and petites soirees; pape lines, with satin stripes, and Scotch plaids; pekins, with wide satin and watered stripes, blue and black, lilac and black, or other dark colours, and all shades of gray, from pearl to the darkest tint, are very fashionable ; transversal stripes continue to be worn Cor sages are still made open en csur, and with revers; insteadsome, of being quite plain, have a little fulness at the shoulders. Steel buttons are used on redingotes; some are square, others oval, but mostly round; small steel buckles are also used, dividing two -„ coques of ribbon or velvet; silk buttons to match the dress are put on iu three rows, with cordonnets to confine them. Velvets, satins, and black lace will be the general toilette this season ; some dresses will be quite covered with flounces of black lace, an d have as rich an effect as those entirely of lace. Very wide black lace scarfs are made, which, by placing transversally, form the skirt of a dress fulled round the waist with berthes, corsages, and sleeves to match ; long sleeves of lace will also be much worn with silk dresses. Coiffures of hair are low, and ornamental combs appear likely to he more generally worn this winter, of diamonds, cameos, and marcaseite; the return of necklaces is also thought probable. The Pamela form of bonnet, and little capotes a la Clarisse, are the most fashionable style; very pretty bonnets of velours epingle, or velvet, are made of beaver colour, some lined with colour, and with feather of beaver colour shaded with the colour of the lining. Flowers are almost all of th e c o lour of the bonnet; n egligees bon nets 'are trimmed with velvet or ribbon. En attendant, the man telets and pardessus of winter, many small pelisses of taffetas &Italie - have been worn, simply fulled on a flat piece at the shoul ders, concealed by a square collar, the whole trimmed with a biais put on full, or fringe headed by two or three narrow trimmings echelonnees, one on the other, edged with narrow fringe. The mantelets caprices resemble those worn during the summer; they are made of velvet, and trimmed with ermine or gribe. scary to take :e to be erected 8t Cork x, from Cardiff for Cork, in runni of provisions of the potatoe crop to be built in Galway, .suit, has been ap- This is " neutrality" with it is has been an_ us.—Tbe brig Luvius, up the baibour at six o'cl , ck on Monday night, was run down b the ste2m-s The who' e of the From the comparative silence of the Irish Provincial Journals during last week, on the subject of the potatoe disease, it may fairly be presumed that the prozress of the disease has b en somewhat checked, an.l that full advan tage has been taken of the fine weather to apply suitable remedies.

The repeal rent is " a sa cred fund," and the allusion to it was silenced by a cry of "No politics. no politics." The occasion was, however, when the agitator was not quite so chary of political inter ruption. In 1822, when a meeting was held for the relief of the people actually starving in Connaught, he moved that the meeting should be adjourned for a fortnight, in asmuch as the " Catholic" gentry would not attend a meet ng in the Protestant Mansion House of Dublin, thus endeavouring to frustrate the object on grounds dis tinctly and avowedly political. LORD ENNISIiIITIE;I.-At a dinner last week,given to Mr. Watson, in the county Fermanagh,that patriotic noble man, the Earl of Enniskillen, in responding to a toast, said, that it was always the proud boast of his family to have acted with Fermanagh. It was one of the stronseat counties of Protestantism and Orangeism in Ireland, and be thanked God that his family were always members o the Orange institution. They bad lately elevated the proud post of grand master of that great cout he would say a few words in reference to the object for the attainment of which they had united. It was stated that they had met to cause dissension amongst their Ro- man Catholic fellow-countrymen, and in a spirit of facti ous opposition to the present government. They were not influenced by any such feeling—they were united in support of those principles for which their ancestors bled —in support of what was left of the constitution, and in the endeavour to have their children educated in those Christian principles which were laid down by their bishops. HOLY SALT AND HOLY WATER.—People could bar "y bring themselves to believe that at such a time as the present—with positive loss in the staple articles of the food of the people—with a famine apprehended, to believe that at such a time the priests would invent further means for extorting money from their flocks appeared incredible. But there is a curious letter in the Limerick Chronicle, signed by the Roman Catholic curate of . Scariff, in which 1114111/6a cm•-• - - 4:7 poor people under his spiritual control.

The writer of the pre cious billet, carrying this intimation, acknowledged that he was the party upon whom the lot had fallen to do this murderous deed. The notice sent—a beautiful specimen of Irish Agrarian tactics—thus states the course by which this result was brought about : "There did 11 of •us sit on a jury (!), and agreed on, that if you were lift in Old Castle long, that you would be a good man to some, and a very bad man to more of ns above Captain's law to remove you Eit which we all drew lots, with the exception whomb should I necessity requir We agreed Ler (dead or of one, for t ake your life, and Be joined with two •es it.

Mr. Lewis re quested to be allowed to see the Deputy-Chairman, but this, it appeared. the secretary would not permit, and or dered Mr. Lewis to leave the office; which Mr. Lewis, it seems, refused, and Mr. Rathbone proceeded to collar Mr. Lewis fur the purpose of turning him out. A violent scuffle ensued ; Mr. Lewis cried out murder ; a dozen People rushed in, a policeman amongst the rest, who re fused to take the charge; and the denouement awaited the decision of the magistrate.

THE GRAND JUNCTION, AND THE MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANIES. A special general meeting of the proprietors of the Grand Junction Railway was held on Friday last, in the Cotton Sales' Room, for the purpose of considering and confirming the agreement of amalgamation of the two companies. There was an unusually large attendance. Charles Lawrence, Esq. presided. Captain Finish read the report of the directors, which recommended the adop tion of the agreement of amalgamation, and set forth the terms [as in part given in the report below of the London and Birmingham Railway Company's Meeting]. For the purpose of the adjustment of the respective capitals, the Grand Junction Company is to issue coupons of con solidated stock, to be considered as paid-up capital, to each Grand Junction shareholder, after the rate of £2O new stock for every £lOO of present Grand Junction stock, and for other Grand Junction shares, whether paid up or not, in the same proportion, such issue of stock to be entitled, from the first of October last, to dividends and all other privileges, rateably with the whole amalga mated stock of shares. The receipts of the two compa nies to form a common fund from the Ist of July last. The concluding paragraph of the report is an echo of that of the London and Btruninghlm Board, given below. The — report was received with considerable applause, and Mr. Swift, the law-clerk, read a series of resolu tions drawn up by the directors, in accordance with the report, which were afterwards submitted seriatim to the meet.ng, and carried unanimously. The first resolu tion, assenting to the amalgamation, was carried amidst loud cheering. Mr. Swift stated that the new quarier shares of the Grand Junction Company, which were in course of being issued, were to participate in the new £2O shares. The chairman, in reply to a question, said, that a negotiation for the amalgamation of the Manches ter and Birmingham Company with the London and Bir mingham was in progress, and, if carried out, the Grand Junction Company would be bound to accept it, of course. Mr. Swift, in answer to questions, stated that the Grand Junction Company, as a company, never bad any connec tion with the Oxford and Birmingham Line. Ia the Derby and Crewe they had a large number of shares, and an arrangement was making which would, he believed, be satisfactory. A vote of thanks to the directors generally, and to the chairman, and Mr. Rotherham especially, for carrying out the amalgamation. was carried amidst ac clamations. On the motion of Mr. Hutson, the board of directors were instructed to consider in what way a suita ble testimonial might be presented to Mr. Locke, for his valuable services. _ Mr. Casson hinted that the debt of gratitude due to Mr. Locke was not the only one owing by the company. Mr..Moz:ey, havLg. as one of the di rectors, sposen of the invaluable services of Mr. Swift, Mr. Booth, an I Capt. Finish, to the company, from its or Grand Junction, but pariicularly during the negocia tions for the present amalgamation, moved that a vote of thanks should be passed to those gentlemen ; and the mo tion was carried with applause. Mr. Swift, Mr. Booth, and Capt. Iluish briefly returned thanks. The latter gentleman remarked that lie had, as the reward ut Ins ex ertions, the satisfaction of seeing the property of the Grand Junction Company placed on the most stable basis in the world. He also mentioned, that in the last six weeks of the present year, the receipts of the consolidated er, ex- company, Manches ast year at a quarter UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. The Bishop of Chester is now in residence at the Pa lace, Chester. The number of seceders to Popery from the Church of England amounts now to thirty.

Four new churches are to be consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon this week—at Mellham Mills, Milnsbridge, Robert Town, and at Garforth. The Morning Post enters into a calculation to show that in England twenty-three more bishops are wanting, and eight thousand more priests and deacons. The Revds. W. W. Ewbank and J. Cordeaux, of Liver pool, have joined the Evangelical Alliance for Christian Union, also the Rev. H. H. Beamish, of London. The Rev.

There are now one hundred and sixty-three more cler gymen in the diocese of Wincheater than there were in 1829. _ _ _ _ .

JESUIT WRITERS IN AN UNIVERSITY REVIEW-- It has long been suspected that an active correspondence has existed between Oscott and certain members of the University of Oxford ; and the names of some of the fellows of Magdalene College have come before the public as not unconnected with it. We nave now to state, on the best authority, that clear evidence has been obtained of the circulation of periodical literature in both univer sitie„ emanating from the Jesuit College of Stonyhurst, in Lancashire, of which Mr. Tickell, late of Baliol Col lege, and others, are now members. We refer to the Ox ford and Catithridge Review, edited by a member of one of the two Universities, an•! to which it has been disco vered that several fellows of Exeter College, Oxford, to gether with Lord John Manners, Mr. Smythe, M.P. for the archiepiscopal city of Canterbury, and Mr. Keon; a distinguished student of Stonyhurst, ate contributors.

The Dean of Chester dined with the Queen at Windsor last week. Prince Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, his son, Prince Au gustus, and the Princess Clementine, daughter of the King of the French, and Prince Leopold, with a numerous suite, arrived at Folkstone, on Friday, on a visit to her Majesty. The Earl of Jersey, as Master of the Horse, has given instructions for a new set of state liveries for the whole of the royal establishment, to be ready by the ensuing season. the estimated cost of which exceeds £B,OOO. The last royal state liveries for the dsmestics of the household were made in 1825. The Earl of Wilton is expected to return to this coun try towards the end of this month, from Nice, where it is understood the earl and countess and their youthful fa mily have reached after the tour in Switzerland. MYSTERIOUS D ISA PPEARANCE.—ConsiderabIe sensa tion has been caused by the sudden disappearance on Wednesday from Brighton, of Lady Adela Villiers, aged 17, youngest daughter of the Earl of Jersey, Master of the Horse. At dusk, Lady Adela was in the drawing room, with the Earl, and took leave of his lordship, as she stated, to go to the nursery, but at the dinner hour the young lady could not be found. A lady answering the de scription of the fair fugitive, was observed to leave by one of the railway trains for London, in the protection of a tall gentl , rnan. The Observer of Sunday says, "It was rumoured yesterday at Bow-street, that Shackell, the su perintendent of the detective police, who has been in pur suit of the fugitive, had discovered a trace of her at Car lisle, which makes it highly probable that the has ere this reached Gretna-green, the celebrated locality of runaway ladies." The following communication has been made to the same paper :---" From the inquiries made last even ing there is reason to conclude that the search after Lady Adela Villiers has ceased, and that her noble parents and family are now aware of her retreat. The happy bride groom is believed to be an officer in the army." Subse quent accounts tend to establish the fact, that Captain li,hetson, of the 11th Hussars, was the companion of the lady's flight; the Earl of Jersey received a letter on Sa turday from Carlisle, bearing no signature, but informing him of his dangbter's arrival in that town ; and from cir cumstances which have since transpired it appears that the journey to Gretna was rapidly performed, and that the plans were well matured, for Capt. Ibbetson was married to Lady Villiers within 20 hours after they left Brighton. The captain, it appears, has got leave of absence till the 14th instant, when he is expected to join his regiment, which is now in Ireland. LAW INTELLIGENCE.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE PAST QUARTER (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) "The quarterly returns are obtained from 115 districts. sub-divided into 576 sub-districts; 34 districts are placed under the metropolis, and the remaining 81 districts com prise, with some agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities in England. The population was 6,578,912 in 1841." The public health during the past quarter, ending Sep tember 30, was good ; for ihe deaths, notwithstanding the increase of the population, were only 36,008, or 1,870 less than the average of the corresponding quarters of five former years (1840-44). This favourable state of things was general, and was observed in the majority of the town districts of the kingdom. The southern coast has been unusually healthy through the summer ; the deaths in Brighton, on an average 262, were only 219; in the Isle of Wight, the deaths, on an average 183, were only 121 ; in the Portsea Island (Portsmouth), the deaths, on an average 299, were 239; in Exeter, the deaths, on an aver age 200, were 163 ; in Plymouth, the deaths, on an aver age 224, were 191 ; in Penzance, the deaths, on an aver age 292, were only 166 in the quarter ending September 30.1845, The mortality has been below the average in every dis tric round the south-eastern and southern coast, from London to the Land's End ; yet the average mortality it self is low throughout that part of the country. In the last report (p. 1) it will be seen that only 1.9 per cent., or 1 in 52, of the inhabitants die annually in the south-eas tern and south-western divisions, while the annual morta lity of the whole kingdom is 1 in 45. In Austria, including the northern parts of Italy, the annual mortality is one in 33; and the mortality through .out Italy is not less than in Austria.

The chair was taken by George Carr Glynn, Esq., who ob served that as to the amalgamation with the Manchester and Birmingham Company, such terms would be offered to the trade of Manchester that no other company could po-sibly undertake to give. They were ready to place the trade of Manchester on a most liberal footing, and he thought the parties in Manchester, who were friendly to ' i find it impossible to compete with trie, coo . such a revenue as that of the amalgamated companies. He regretted that the amalgamation with the Grand Junction Company bad not taken place at an earlier period. They were anxious that the amalgamation should stand on public grounds, and were ready to submit to any regulations which parliament might choose to enact. It was intended to alter some of the regulations which had pressed on some of the branches of traffic, but the company wished it to be understood, that. if any abuse should arise on the part of the carriers, they were pre- Nov. 11, 184 5 --......, d the sacra' receive from Bto 4 per cent.

A NEW MOTIVE POWER.—A Mr. Talbot has taken out a patent for a new power, based on the condensation of carbonic acid gas. By chemical means and great pressure, the carbonic acid is brought down to a tempera ture below the freezing point. Heat is then applied, when its expansive power, Mr. Talbot avers, exceeds that of steam, while the great weight of the furnace, &c., is dispensed with.
