Dated the thirteenth day of November, 1846. • - •• • - —• By order of' the Board of Directors, JOSEPH AIALLABY, Clerk.to the Company of a few pence The advantages to be derived by the public at this trivial expenditure are, the saving of wear and tear of clothes and shoes,—shelter from the heat and other inclemency of the weather,—the sparing the personal fatigue occasioned by walk ing,—the enabling housekeepers and their servants tb attend the best markets, the shopkeeper to send his parcels, and artizans to remove their families from crowded dwellings into the country air, because of the cheapness of that transit which will enable him to add an hour to his labour, and come to it unfatigued, much to the benefit of himself and his employer. To the aged, the invalid, and the infirm, it will afford the means of locomotion at a cheap rate ; in fact, there is no class uninterested in the success of a measure so muck tending to personal ease and convenience; and the Company is divided into small Shares,'to enable the public, whose business it is, to give it their support, and partake of the advantages it will afford. _ . Particular attention will be paid to the accommodation, and taking to their destination, of passengers by the Railways ; and where large bodies , of workmen congregate, accommodation will be afforded at such hours in the morning, dinner-time, and evening, as will best suit them. Neither the formation of this Company, nor its operations, require an Act of the Legislature, but simply a Deed of Settle ment, which will be prepared and settled by Counsel on beh a lf of all parties ; but until the same shall be executed, the Directors have the right cf•making such alterations in, and additions to, the plan of the Company, as they may deem advisable. The projectors, who registered (provisionallyYthis Company, on the twenty-ninth day of September last, in consideration of their exertions in projecting, maturing, and introducing to the Shareholders, a Company promising such great advantages, being willing to look only to a small fractional part of the sur plus profits for their reward, it is stipulated and agreed on, shall have, during-the continuance of the Company, in equal fourth parts, to the use of themselves, four-twentieths of such surplus profits as may remain after defraying 411 costs and charges, and allowing a reasonable sum for wear.and tear, and after paying a dividend to the Shareholders of Five Pounds per Centum per Annum on the Capital subscribed—the same to be paid annually, and whenever otherwise a dividend of profits shall be made. The remaining sixteenth-twentieths of such surplus profits to be, in addition to the .said Five per Centum per annum, divided amongst the Shareholders, accord ing to the number of their respective shares. When 10,000 Shares are subscribed for, the Provisional Di rectors shall be at liberty to consider the Company as suffici ently formed for operations, provided a Certificate of complete registration be obtained, and the Call of One Pound per Share paid thereon. It is proposed that further calls. shall not exceed Ten Shillings per Share, and be made at intervals of not less than three months. Further information may be obtained of the Company's Solicitor, Mr. HENRY BREMNER , 3, Temple-eourt, Liverpool; or of the Secretary (pro tens), at tine Company's Offices, Chapel walks, Liverpool ; or of Mr. G.

(From the Second Edilion of the Morning Herald.) ,We have just received the following letter from our Lisbon correspondent:— _ _ _ " Lisoos, November 8. "The Terrible has been delayed fora few hours, in consequence of the arrival DI the Cyclops, from England, with despatches for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, the purport of which has set all Lisbon upon the rack of impatient curiosity. A -signal has just been made for another English steamer. " It is reported that a body of 600 troops, detached by the Duke of Saldanha, has routed the Cintra guerillas, killing 18 and capturing a considerable number of them. " The main body of Saldanha',s army is at Torres Ve dras, awaiting an attack from Antas. If the latter should assume the offensive, be is likely, I again predict, to suffer a terrible defeat. Not so, however, if he should be wise enough to fall ;pack upon Coimbra, or even Oporto, by which means he would draw his enemy further away from his resources, and more into the heart of a hostile country."

At this day's market we had a moderate supply of English Wheat, which met a brisk sale at fully, and in some cases Is. per quarter over, the currency of this day week.

Fine chevalier Barley is quite as dear, but the large arrival of Foreign has depressed the value of other sorts is. per quarter. White Peas 2s ; Beans is lower ; Malt without alteration. We continue to receive liberal arrivals of Foreign Oats, but sparingly supplied with English and Irish. Foreign met a more steady sale at 6d. per qr. under the rates of Monday last, but Irish still most difficult of disposal, although offered at a like reduction. s 41THFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YE,TICRDAT From our own grazing districts the bullock droves were seasonably large, but of very middling quality. The primest beasts commanded a very steady sale ut, in some instances, a trifle more money, the best Scots readily producing 45. 2d. per 81b. ; but all other breeds were very dull, and the turn lower. The arrivals from the north comprised 1900 slu.rt horns, from the western and the midland counties 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England, 1000 of various breeds. _ . Although the arrival of sheep were on the increase, the mut ton trade was very steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable be yond, last week's prices.

EXTRAORDINARY DELUsIONs.-0 , . Thur-day, a com mission of lunacy was opened at the Manor House. Stoke Newington, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Tho. rnas Teague, aged 37, a wealthy tradesman of Birmingham. The commission, which was unopposed, was taken out by a friend, the unfortunate gentleman having no relations who can at present be found. From the evidence it ap pear, d that Mr. Teague was a native of Wales, and that he had been apprenticed to a painter, when he became very penurious. He afterwards established himself in business, and continuing penurious as well as industrious, be became successful, and amassed property, the possession of which seemed first to have impaired his mind, which seemed to have mole decidedly given way on his inhe riting freehold property in Wales. It was in the month of July last that his state of mind became apparent, and his strange and incoherent conduct rendered it ne cessary that he should be placed under restraint, and be was subsequently removed to Northumberland House, where he laboured under the delusion that he was Christ, and also that the Saviour was iu the room with him, several hours at a time; that he was immensely rich, possessed of millions, offering to advance: thou saiids to many persons; that Northumberland House belonged to hint, fi,r which he was (as he said) paying five hundred pounds a-year ; that he (himself) was God Alusighty ; that be had killed somebody ; that he was Bonaparte, aid Bonaparte's son ; that their at tendants were all Wellingtons, and that he turned into devils of all shapes, being satarised, as he termed it, by a large quantity of mercury, which had been given to him by a coutory doctor, &c. As a further proof of the state of his wind, he %NA^ ac..ustemed to +motet his person with filth, and even to ma. it ith his food.- The unfortunate gent l emen seemed totally unconscious of the object of the proceedings. out tAofhteirma.nhsematugp incoherentlytly left the roost, saying, yeadtiinsfildr.,'a'nitThejuryiumot , diatt two iy expressed or three questions returned themselves a verdict dating the F1)3%104008 of his mind from the 2941 of July, 1846, WATER SUPPLY. Manchester, says Mr. Hawkesley in his very confident letter to the Town Clerk, is seeking possession of a terri tory whence to derive water, smaller than that he has sug gested for Liverpool, and calculates on higher resulrs. Why, he asks, should his Liverpool friends doubt? And then he pledges himself that both as regards quantity and quality, the proposed district will "afford all the impor: tant town of Liverpool requires." . . These points in Mr. Hawkesley's letter are open to strong observation. They neither give nor suggest the real merits of the case as they will unquestionably appear before a parliamentary committee ; and the publication of the letter would seem to justify an inference that the com mittee of the Town Council are impressed with the notion that a mere expansion of the assertions in it will obtain water cheap and plentifully. It is very true that the Lyme district, whence the Cor poration of Manchester are seeking to procure water, is a less surface than the " territory" which is to send its ac cumulations to Liverpool. But there is a little disinge nuousness in passing by what will be found a " great fact" in the committee-rooms of parliament—that from the " Lancashire district" these will be hosts of claims for compensation—compensation in water, and not money —and that the Lyme district is exposed to no such de. mands. There are no mills, print-works, and bleachetit>s supplied by the drainage of Lyme Park ; not even on the sides towards Disley and Stockport. In the " Lancashire district" these establishments are numerous ; and the men of those parts are too wise in their generation not to un derstand their pecuniary interests as well as their business convenience. Allowing for the compensation in water that will be demanded, and must be conceded, the yield from the hills of Lyme will be at the very least equal to that of the Lancashire district, whilst the works will scarcely cost more than one-fourth of what Mr Ambrose Lace considers moderate for Liverpool—.£4so,ooo. Then comes the very simple question, why we in Li verpool are to doubt Mr. Hawkesley's assurances. We are not aware that any engineer, even of the most estab lished reputation, is, upon his mere ipse dixit, to be ex empted from reasonable doubt, when a most important branch of his estimate, which affects both cost and quan tity, receives the barest possible notice. We take leave, and we believe many versons do. to intimate a con siderable doubt as to Mr. Hawkesley's estimates for quantity as well as price. The proposed district will af fpou a rdtiwhetherperhaps, all that Liverpool can possibly require ; but this is not the whole question. The question is, whether there will be sufficient, not only to supply Liverpool, but to leave to the district itself sufficient for its present actual consumption, with provision for a rapidly increasing 11071, anve to the sanatory value of an adequate sup ply, as Nell as to the imperative nemssities of extending establibbotents connected with manufactories. When these contingencies are considered, engineers of equal eminence with Mr. Hawkesley will unquestionably agree with ordinary pers ms, not professional, that they con tain within them the elements of future, if not of present, insufficiency. Then as to price- Some of the parties in terested in the drainage o the proposed district may ac cept a money compensation for what is taken from them, s'eing that the Corporation of Liverpool has a good ac count at its bankers. All claims of this description must enhance the price in Liverpool. On the other hand, those aeosation in water, will need it in who req very large quantities. All claims of this description will reduce the segregate yield, and materially operate upon the quantity sent hither. So far from each person having 30 gallons per diem, as Mr. Lace said, or twenty, as Mr. Hawkesley suggests, these compensations will reduce the amount to twelve gallons, the minimum, if we remember rightly, spoken of in the report of the Sanatory Corn- _ . missioners. A falling off in quantity, and an increase in pike, however small, are not so very far beyond the range of nrobability as to make it a misdemeanour to doubt some of Mr. Ulawkesley's assurances. They will all be thoroughly tested in the forthcoming "tug of war," and Mr. Hawkesley must be prepared to meet others just as resolute and as competent as the opponents who perplexed . - and defeated him in'the last session. We profess to be admirers of consistency as much in practical men of business as in those who "guide us in politics ; and if a man commits himself to a sreat principle. . . either in deliberate writ:Tig or in solemn testimony, we like to see him adhere to it. We give 111 r. Hawkealey all credit for merit as an engineer, but the fatal facility of thinking aloud has been the means of causing him some reproach. Certainly many of the opiniot.s be has pro pounded on the subject of water management are in curious contrast to the task be has undertaken for the Corporation of Liverpool. He is endeavouring to give them the means of furnishing us with water, although he is absolutely convinced, and the conviction has been proudly published by himself, that they are not a fit body to have such a duty entrusted to their charge! We refer to this gentleman's evidence before the Sana tory Commissioners—all of which is based upon the prin ciple that local bodies are, for many reasons, incompetent to serve the public in the case of water supply, and other purposes. Here are a few passages:— I think it would be injurious to invest any local body with new powers of expenditure, without the means of supervision and regulation, by a competent superior authorits, to protect and promote the true interests of the community. Pp. 92, 93. Again, It is impossible that common local authorities, subject to all local interests and influences, could conduct such an important business with any proper degree of efficiency, foresight, and economy. P. 93. This is rather plain speaking ; but Mr. H awkesley no doubt believes still what be said in 1844, although he has not thought it beneath him to help one of these local bodies to conduct " the important business" of water supply, knowing beforehand that they could not conduct it with efficiency, foresight, or economy. Onepassage is not very complimentary to the morals of these incompetent local bodies : The worst and most inequitable provisions in private acts are usually to be found in the acts obtained by corporations, and other bodies having the command of the public purse. P. 95. Another, equally candid : The projects of public bodies are always to he looked upon with suspicion, and require the most close, preliminary, and disinterested investigation, as to the propriety, efficieury, econo my, and equity of the measure proposed. P. 95. Mr. Hawkesley must really excuse us for raking up some of his opinions, seeing that we have the same end in view as himself—the public benefit. They were read against him with some effect in one of the committee-rooms last session. He shivered with anxiety to explain. Possibly his ingenuity will enable him to make out a plausible case in his own justification ; and we are too charitable to sup pose he would aptly such language now to the Corpo ration of Liverpool. His words, however, remain upon record, to be taken for what they are worth. In our next publication, we shall endeavour to show the Sanatory Committee, and the public, that much mis conception has heretofore existed as to the abilities of the present companies to give a greater supply of water than what they at present do; if we are correctly informed, and we believe we are, both water companies could give, in case of need, nearly double the quantity which they do at present. ABERCROMBY WARD TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD SIR,—A roost infamous " leader" apneared in the Mercury of Friday last, stating that Mr. Joseph Horn had been led up to the poll for the above ward by Mr. Hand on the 2nd instant in favour of Mr. Thomas Ka t e.

The procession was unusually numerous and respectable. The Rev. Rector Brooks preached an excellent sermon from the lOth verse of the G h chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians.

Bd. • LANDER E R'S PICTURE OF Hostaga DRINKING. — We a ere yesterday much gratified by a view, at Mr. Grundy's Repository, in Church-street, of Edwin Land seer's beautiful picture of "Horses Drinking in the Court-yard of an Ancient Mansion," and also of the en graving of the same. The scene appears to be laid in the reign of Charles I ; if we may judge from the fashion of the costume, and the style of architecture. The princi pal figures are, a grey horse, and beside it at the fountain a black horse mounted by a troo, er, or huntsman, if we may guess from the fact that there area number Of hounds in the foreground, to whom a young female peasant is giving food and water, and while caressing one of them, (she at the time on her knees,) is looking towards the cavalier, as if receiving his approval. The two horses, especially the grey one, are admirably depicted, both as regards outline, colouring, arid shadow. The conntenance of the grey is especially beautiful, the whole head and ex pression of the eye being so natural and so beautifully ihrown out that it conveys all but real life. Several other points in the picture exhibit equal mastery, particularly, in omr opinion, the head of one of the group of dogs, turned back in an inquiring attitude to his master, as if o tr f r a a s n c o e t r h ta e i r n d r o l g ie d m rb o i m k i e p ti g t b o e f s i h d i e s t d h e e p t a r r o t u o p re e r ; also the head ,sbors ea tt he fountain. The building in the back ground representing the court-yard is a fine specimen of the old - English style, and through the entrance, which consists of a huge arched eateway, is seen a distant smiling landscape. The pic ture is certainly one of the most agreeable and perfect compositions, in the department of the artist, that we have yet seen ; and this is saying much when it is re membered that, as an animal painter, be is the first now living. Bes des the painting there is the engraving from the original, of rather smaller size, but so beautifully and faithfully delineated, that the two, but for the colours in the former, appear to be fac-similes. This engraving, I which is in the finest line stye, is one of the most suc cessful productions of the burin that has yet been accom pli-hed in this or any other country ; and its execution occupied the artist.

DISCOVERY, IN LivatwooL, OF Two RUNAWAYS.. On Saturday two very respectably-dressed and intelligent young men, apparently just out of their teens, were brought before Mr. Rushton, on a charge of having beet' found in possession of lsrge sums of money and a brace of loaded pocket pistols. They gave their names J Hampson and ThoMas . DickensOn: Inspector 11I'D stated that about six o'clock on the morning of (Saturday,) be received information that there were two young men in a public house, in the Old Haymarket, with large sums of money about th em , w hi c h t h ey were spend ; ing freely, and a brace of loaded pistols, which they were ever and anon taking out and exhioiting to the bystanders. He immediately went to the house, and. finding the two prisoners there, he requested of them to accompany bun to the Police-office. They went along the streets together, and the inspector asked Hampson how much money he had in his possession. He replied that there were 100 so vereigns in a bag. On searching the bag, however, 140 were found. Then Iv was asked bow much money he bad in his purse, to which he replied, from' ten to twenty sovereigns. The purse contained sixteen sovereigns,. They had a variety of wearing apparel in their trunks,. Mr. Rushton asked whether their pistols were really loaded. The inspector replied in the affirmative. Hampson said that his mother had given him the money before be left home, and Dickenson expressed a hope that the magistrate would dispatch some person for their parents without delay. They said their parents would be found at the house of Mr. John Hampson, Nottingham.

For this line no tunnelling would be required. and the gradients ware extremely fa vourable. The treasurer's accounts showed that a depo sit of £1 7s. 6d. per share had been paid on 31,220 shares, which amounted to .£42.927 10s. The expendi ture amounted to £27,851 ss. I Id. ; the engineering, surveying. &c., having cost £7342 65., the parliamentary expenses being £9488 is. Bd., and the expenses of wit nesses in London, with travelling, &c., were upwards of £6OOO. There was a balance in hand of £15,076 4s. Id. ; but as there were liabilities to the amount of £BO5l 14s. Id., the sum to he returned to the shareholder s was re nuced to £7024 10s. The recommendation of the direc tors was that those who joined the new company should receive one £25 shave in respect of every four which they held in the old company; or, in other words, each share holder who seceded from the old company would receive 18s. per share, while those joining the r company would have to pav Xi. The report was unanimousiv adopted. Mr. Shepherd. the parliamentary agent. and as represen tative of 4200 shares, complained of the heavy expense of £2OO per mile for surveyitz; and the expense of £l7OO wet complained of by Mr. Robertson, of Masbrough, as being too high a .charge for the old plans and surreys. It was resolved that the c , niparty be now dissolved, and that it be not considered an art of bankruptcy. It will be thus seen that the old company i 4 to he dissolved, but the share holders will carry out the line from Masbrough to Don caster. at which place it will join the London end York.
