Among them are 10 ships laden with oleaginous seeds from the East. A violent thunder storm, followed by torrents of rain, was experienced at Marseilles on the 6th. The streets were flooded to the depth of several feet, and the water rushed from the Canebiere into the old port in foaming cascades. her most distinguished men, and very many of her rising trenerati©n are in the service of the East India Company. You all know the savage and brutal murders', the sacking of various stations at which Europeans were placed, and ha absolute, I will not say poverty, but destitution to which an immense number of families, previously in circumstances of comfort and happiness, have by the decrees of Providence been reduced. (Hear, hear.) All over this land, from various other lands, and from various quarter, subscriptions have been made for aiding these unfortunate persons in their dire necessities; and I am quite sure it wilt be in' accordance with the feelings of the county of For far—and I believe it would be offensive to the county were I not to do so—when I propose that instead of giving our insulated subscriptions here and there, we should come forward with a county subscrip tion. (Applause.) At the head of this I shall be glad to place my own subseription, instead of giving in the capacity of a member of the Government. (Applause.) I think the occasion is even greaier than that on which we forsnerly exerted ourselves—namely, the Patriotic Fund. Here we shall be contributing to alleviate the sufferings of a number of individuals who have been over taken by the direst of all calamities, which they could not for a moment foresee, a very different case from that of men serving their country in war, who may expect to be exposed to such disasters. Here the calamity was quite sudden, and one which those who live at home at ease are bound to take the earliest opportunity of alleviating. I would propose that the subscriptions through the county should be conducted in the same way as with the Patriotic Fund, and that, when returned, they should be forwarded to the Lord Mayor of London, who has placed himself at the head of this great and most patriotic object. (Applause.) . The Clerk stated that the machinery used for the Patriotic. Fund subscription was all complete, •and could easily be put in operation. Lord Pannaure's proposal was then unanimously adopted, and the Convener and the Clerk of Supply were instructed to make the necessary arrangements• We have been favoured with the followmg ex tract of a letter from a gentleman in Calcutta to a relative in England You have no doubt heard of the Indian mutinies, but it would be utterly impossible for you to imagine one half of the cruelties that. have been perpetrated, and less so for me to attempt to pourtray them to you. lam afraid it will be a long time before we are in a state of security again. The plans of the mutineers are not known, and it is shrewdly suspected they never had any. But yet no panacea has been found to stop the spread of the insur rection ; kindness and severity have been tried without success. Every passion has been appealed to, and every principle evoked, but all has been unavailing, and it has become too plainly apparpnt that force alone can subiu e the storm which has burst over us. The cruelties, inflicted by the rebels on our wretched countrymen have been objectless, and sprang from no settled definite resolve, for few of them, 1 think, have been actuated by revenge. The Indian Government will, no doubt, try to conceal a great portion of the evidenCe that will be brought forward on the subject, but they cannot for one moment attempt toldeny that the whole army of Bengal is in open mutiny ; English offi , :ere have retired to rest in security, and have fallen victim's .to the hands of a midnight assassin, that assassin being a soldier under their o wn command. British ladies have suffered atrocities, the very mention of which makes pale the cheek of men who have faced the bullet and the deadly breach without blanching. and have been slaughtered by men wearing "the uniform and re ceiving the pay of the British Government. In the very metropolis of India the inhabitants are arming themselves against anticipated attacks: houses are barricaded, and, shipping held in readiness to receive the women and children on the lest emergency. Would this were all the pictUre woull be harrowing enough, but thinking men must feel, that none can tell the end, none can forsee what scenes may yet have to be depicted ; what fearful pages may yet remain to be written in the History of British India. The cause of all this frightful work rest mainly upon the shoulders of the European officers who corn nand the native troops, and.on the'x heads must r,est the blood of their fellow countrymen who have fallen victims to the soldiers under their command. The affection onee.eeter e tained by the Sepoy for their European.. officers has, merged into indifference, and from indifference into hatred. The wishes, feelings, and thoughts'of the native soldiers used once to be made a topic ' of mutually inter esting conversation. Deeds of valour related by the native officers were listened to by the younger officers with a gipw of interest, and thee neither the oldest or the youngest officer felt it beneath then to be intimately acquahited with the interior economy of their company. ' Hew changed things are now is too palpably patent to the whole of India. If a native officer 26 . 10 goes to his superior officer's house, even on duty; his salute is list lessly returned; he is listened to with indifference, if not with impatience, and speedily dismissed. And now you will naturally ask from what cause springs this indiffer:. ease amongst the native troops end officers? It arises simply from this fact—Boys of eighteea are sent out here as officers. Their whole effort is to get on the staff. The result is this—Every boy on joining his regiment talk.; largely of his interest, his intentions to study, and how soon he will get on the stiff. He hopes his sojourn with his regiment will be short, and never dreams of its being his home for years. Can you wonder, then, that he t akes no interest in his Sepoys, a:11 that his " esprit da carps" is confined to the 'excellence of its band and the splendour of its mess? These young gentlemen (?) are entirely un .acquainted with the languav, history, laws, manners, customs, or the feelings and prejudices of castes of the natives. Is it so surprising, then, that the colonels of regiments should, up to the very moment of their soldiers mutinying, not even know that such a thing was brewing, and believed their regiments staunch until they were con vinced to the contrary by showers of bullets flying round them ? Martial law is now generally proclaimed,' and that alone is sufficient proof that the Government are alive to the magnitude of the danger which surround s them, and are determined on no half measures. We are therefore permitted, not only to heßre but ,to feel a happy lice, ...see e ......aaeeee er IZt.O ..1/tI made the possession of India by the British a medium for the propagation of His word, the European force we have will be sufficient to check rebellion and re-establish our supremacy, and, at the same time, to inflict the punish ment &serving on those men who have so wantonly and ruthlessly butchered so many persons who were struggling for the civilisation and advancement of the native popu lation of India. I think I have given you an insight into the cause of the mutinies (although, perhaps, an imperfect one). I hope is my next to be able to inform you that the revenge so long delayed has fallen upon them with a tenfold force. I send you some p ipers, from them• per haps you will glean information. Accounts from Toulon state that the line-of battle ships Ulm, Prince Jerome, Tourville, and Austerlitz, at present in that port, are about to proceed to Brest. It is added, that a fleet of ten fast sailing steam line-of battle ships is to be formed at Toulon next year, and to be placed under the command of Admiral Roma in- Desfosses. Admiral Count Bouet Willaumea, late Commander-in-Chief of the French fleet in the Levant, arrived in Toulon on board the Brandon, on the 3rd inst., and struck his flag on the 4th. Admiral C'avaud. who succeeded Admiral Willamea in the command of the Levant fleet, arrived at the Piraeus on the 13th September. ITALY. TURIN, OCTOBER 6. The time was once, and not very long since eh her, when England and English politics were the bugbear'of every despotic Government in Europe. In this respect, how ever, a change appears to have come o'er the spirit of their dream latterly, for it is now almost invariably a vision of the Emperor Napoleon [II. that disturbs their repose, and even when they venture to indulge in fancies of a triumvirate of Ctesars to dispose the destinies of the Old World, they seem haunt el now by fears lest the Freuch Emperor should play the part of Augustus to his col leagues' Lepidus and Anthony. What really exists for this suspicious jealousy of the present dynasty of France —how much it is based on solid grounds, and how much it is attributable to the consciences of the Governments themselves—are points that can only be clearly resolved by the future, probably, but, in the meantime, it , is pos sible and useful to watch the present sayings and doings on both sides, so as to catch a glimpse of what they may - actually fear or hope from passing events. In a letter from your Vienna correspondent, dated - ".Vienna, Sept. 29," it is stated that the Austrian Government "evidently suspects the French Cabinet of having formed - plans uu favourable to the rule of Austria hi Lombardy :" and the wi her goes on to say that " many of the principal Lom bard nobles - went. to Paris shortly before the Gover, or- General made his entry into Milan, and almost all those who are now in the city keep aloof from the Archducal Court." NANA SAHIBLM. (From the North Briton.) The b)rrible atrocities perpetrated. by this Asiatic savage bairJ astonished and outraged the public mind. Yet we know—at all events, we say and believe—the natives of the provinces that have" been annexed.by Britain in India to be barbarianv, and we generally, give that fact. as a justification for taking and holding what - does - not belong to this country. Being savages, why ought we to be so astonished at their conduet . ? or why should they have been trusted with the lives of British families, and the occupation of the principal fortresses 'in India? In England,' Ireland, and Scotland, we could cull from history hun , lreli of ili.aup,!a of savage abo minations committed uppn the people quite .as disgusting as those of tha•lnclian revolt. The first we shall instance is ,a. short extract from the Baron Chronicle, regarding the conditet of the Norman nobles. during their conqudst of -England. After detailing disgusting 'insults to women which We 'Cannot (rote, the Chronicle 'proceeds The men were hung by-the feet-and by the thumbs, and then smoked with foul. smoke. Knotted strings were put abaut. their heads, an I • writhed at tilYit went into the brain. . They put them into. dungeOns wherein .were adders, and snakes, and toads, and thus were them out. Some of them they•put into a ct•ucet, that is, in a chest that'was short and narrow, and not deep, and they put sharp stones into it, and crushed the man therein, so ;hat they broke all his limbs. There were. hateful and grim things, called Siehenteges, in many of the castles, and which two or three men had enough to carry The Sachentege was thus made : it was fastened to a beam, having a sharp iron to go round a was throat an I neck, so fiat he might noways sit, nor lay, nor sleep, but that he must bear all - the iron. Many thousands they exhausted with hunger. It must be concluded from this information that the Austrian Government attributes the absence of the Lom bard nobility from the Viceregal Court to French intrigue; but it appears from the accounts. received from thence in this country that since the Archduke's assumption of his Government, his Court at Milan has been attended by precisely the same persons whO paid Weir.: respects to the Emperor, neither more nor less. Personally there doei not seem to be any dislike felt on the part of the Lombard nobility towards either the Emperor Francis Jeseph or his brother the Governor-General, and the comeliness of both the Empress. .add the Arch duchess Charlotte has produced its natural ef fect on the ' warm temperament of Italians of of all classes, but still the Lombard aristocracy have got it into their heads that, were they to give any evidence of contentment with the present state of Government, de prived as they are of all participation in public affairs, and even prohibited from the right of petition—it might be used as an argument against them hereafter, and might tend to mislead those to whom it is most difficult to convey the the truth—the Sovereign and his immediate Repre sentative—and therefore I am inclined to think that their obstinacy on the Subject of attending Court is of older origin than of any French intrigue, and it is so deeply rooted that it will hardly give way even before the henevo lence, charity, and hospitality of the young Governor- General, or the well meant and impartial observations of your own correspondent. As to whether the Austrian Government has justice or not unsuspecting the French Cabinet of plans against its dominions in Lombarby I cannot venture to offer an opinion. I only mean to say that-the absence of the Lombard aristocracy from the Vioorogal Court of tho irohduko 3e, ,Jinoo3 a... roc appear to me as any proof of French influence.Ar.the same time it must be. recollected that: the whole of the Austrian Italian provinces are in a chronic state:l of discontent, and are in consequence at all times ready to listen to the protnptings of any enemy of Austria who is possessed of a,good standing army. In the soath Of Italy the suspicions of French intrigue and conspiracy are no less conspicuous than in the north. A few days since CCattolico published a long letter in the 'French language, tearing the signature of Charles Garnier, and addressed to M. Lizabe Ruffioni, the private secretary of Prince LuCien Murat, who you may recollect published a manifesto of Muratist-politics some time back, to which the letter of Charles Gamier is intended as a reply. Charles Gamier, if he has an incarnate existence, is supposed to • be some French Legitimist employed by the Neapolitan Government to sub scribe his name to sueh doctimenti as the present, letter : but it is more generally thought that the signa ture; like that of " Lumley de Woodyear," which is usually appended to letters of a similar nature on Pied montese or English affairs, is merely a name wthout a local habitation. -- Charles Gamier," however be he what he may— spirit, or man, or demon—openly amuses the Muratists :with conspiring to create a revolution at Naples, and the. Finperor of the French et permitting, if not of aiding them ; and he repeats the story told of what hid occurred at the marriage of the son of Prince Lucien, when the Annan:ller of the Emperor, Monseignor Menjaud, Bishop of Nancy, pro nounced a benediction on the newly-married couple, and told the bridegroom to draw the sword of his grandfather. The Emperor of the French, " Charles Garnier" says was consulted as to whether this speech of his Grand Aumonier should be published in a certain journal,. and that he put the manuscript in his pocket, saying " The time has not come yet, it will be for by and bye.', "Yes," says Charles G liner, " it will be for by and bye," and every one can see that it needs but one word from the Emperor to silence MM. Lucien and Joachim Murat, but this word " Charles Garrfer " is convinced will never be ,pronounced, and he accepts the publication of the manifesto of Liz Abe Ituffoni as,a. proof that it never wilt . be, and, therefore, he, " Charles Gamier," alias " the Neapolitan Government," takes the occasion of replying to the Muratist manifesto through the columns of the Ca tiolico. Let us .pass over the ,Wars, of the Roses, the. conduct of Cromwell in Ireland, and many other civil events, such as the m ts.sacre of GlencJe, &c., and give an instance of our huliane•policy which aappened only a few years before the conquest of India commenced.- lArt - 4 refer . to the doings of the butcher Cutnberland at and after the battle of Culloden. Lord Mahon, in his " History of England," states that— No care or compassion was shown to their (the High lairler:•) wounded; nay, more, on the following day most: of these were put to death in cold blood, with a cruelty such as never, perhaps, before or since, has disgraced a British army. Some were dragged feOto the thickets` or cabins where they had sought range; drawn. - out in line and shot; while others were despatched by the soldiers with the stocks of their muskets. One farm building, into which some twenty - disabled Highlanders crawled, was deliberately set on file next day, and burnt with them to thr. 'rho nntivo treated ; and even sufficient water was not vouchsafed to their thirst. Lord Mahon (Earl Stanhope), much to his credit, admits that there waN not the slightest provocation to justify the butcher Duke in his barbarities. The Highlanders, the noble historian confesses, behaved in the most chivalrous and, merciful manner to - the wounded and prisoners placed in their power by Altair victories during the early part of the rebellion. But barbaric cruelty has ever been one of the . Most prominent characteristics of the lianoverian sovereigns of ,E ;gland. Whatever. other virtues may belong to - the Guelphic dynasty, the attribute of mercy most certainly - IS not one of the number. • We now cite another witness, as truthful and reliable as Lfwgi Mahon hiipself Mr. Riberr Chambers, in his " History of the Rebellion of 1745," informs us that, by the orders of the•ROyal Butcher, worsen and children were stripped naked, and subjected- to. unnameable horrors—that English officers went over the field of battle, running their s ~•ords through the wounded and the slain—that this was Bona as Much in sport as In rage—and that, "at last they began to amuse themselves by splashing and dabbling each other with blood I", By order of the Duke, the wounded were gathered in heaps. and.shot .or stabbed .to death by his soldiers. Th 3 sick in their bed rooms . .had their throats cut by order of the Duke. We conclude this pert of our subjectwiththe following well authentiCated anecdote, which, bet ter than volumes of declamation, illustrates the fiendish character of the sole hero (God save the Mark !) produced by tho house of Hanover : The Duke of Cumberland, riding over the field the day , after the victory, attendeded ,by some of his officers, ob served 'a riling wounded Highlander resting on his elbow, and staring at the Royal party. 'Cumberland asked.the man to whom he belonged, and received for answer, " to the Prince." The flake instant!) , called to an officer to " shoot that insolent sconndrel" The echoer, Major Wolf, declined the task, saving that his commission. was at the command of his royal highness, but he could never consent to become an executioner. The' duke asked several other officers to •• pistol" the wounded man, but with a like result-. At length:the royal butcher called a common soldier, who obeyed -the fi,,ndish command by nanrclet ing the wounded man. , The Highlander thus bar barou-,ly slain was 'Mr. Charles : Fraser, a lieutenant colonel in the Master ofLovat's,tegiment. • ,Such were . the. tender mercies of this Dutch 'Sahib towards the poor devoted Scotchmen who espoused the cause -of their rightful Sovereign: Then, again, look at that young Emperor of Austria, our ally. • In this, the. nineteenth century, he: flogged naked the noble matrons and daughters of Hungary who hail sent forth their husbands and sons to fight for freedom and nationality. • The Parma Gazette publishes the new Custom-house tariff, which is to come into operation on the cessation of the Aurstre-Parmesan Customs' League, on s tho Slat of this present month. The same paper announces that the applications for shares in the Stradella and Piacenza Railways by Parmesan subjects had amounted to 2,139 i. e , 1,430 for Piacenza. and 709 for Parma.

THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1857. ASIITIC CUNNING AND TREACHERY. It is only in Thuggee, as revealed before Indian judges and magistrates, that we can find a counterpart of the insiduousness and treachery lately exhibited by the Sepoys. Colonel Sleeman, who had long been resident in Onde, recounts the history of a Mogul officer, who; in travelling from the Puojaub to Oude, by way of Meerut and Bareilly, accompanied by his personal servant and groom, was accosted one morning by six respectable men, who saluted him most respectfully, wishing to enter into conversation with him. The Mogul officer, suspecting Thuggee, laid his hand on his swod," and warned the fellows off The next day he met the same number of men dressed as Mussulmans. They spoke of the dangers of the road, and claimed the officer's pro tection. But the wily old man, brandishing 'his sabre, bade them be off. The fellows disappeared like those of the previous day. Towards evening of the same day, the wayfarer's two servants met a third group of travellers, six in number, and entered into conversation with them. But the Mogul officer ordered the travellers to fail to hiS rear, and desired his servants to hold no intercourse with the strangers, On the third day the officer, continuing his journey, arrived oh a desert plain. His servants were some way behind, when all at once he found himself in the presence of six poor Musitrilmans, who were weeping, over 'the body of one of their comerades, who had, they said, died on the roadside. The men - described themS'erve - s as soldiers of Lahore, returning after a long absence to. Lucknow to visit "their wives and children. Their fellow-soldier, they alleged, with seeming sorrow, had sunk tinder tha fatigues of the journey, and they Were then about to de •Posit him in the nes'ly made grave freshly dug with their hands. But alas! poor and unfetterred as they were, there was not one among them capable of reading the prayers of the Koran. Would the Mogul officer eternally oblige them by so doing, and perform a benefi cent act, for which he would be rewarded in this world and the world to come? He, distrustful hitherto, could not resist the appeal made to his religious feelings, and dismounted from his noble steed. The body meanwhile had been already placed in the grave after the manner prescribed in the Koran, with the head turned towards Mecca. A carpet was immediately spread before the Mog'ul officer. He disburdened himself of 'all his arms— of his sword and of his pistols, which were placed aside. Having washed his face and hands to purify himself, the officer commenced, on bended knees, the prayers, which were for a moment sobbingly followed by two of the Mends of the supposed deceased. Meanwhile, the four others, on a signal, attacked the officer, cutting him down with a stroke. The two servants were soon overpowered, tied to their master's dead body, and were buried alive in the grave which had leisurely been prepared for the purpose. It is needless to say that the six travellers of the three days were identical—were one and the same men. They all belonged to a band of Thugs of the king dom of Oude, and, finding it impossible to gain the confi dente of the wary traveller by hotieyed speeches, they appealed to his religious feelings, having prepared the corpse for the nonce. By this stratagem they obta;ned money, jswels, and valuable arms; and, under guise of religion, accomplished their diabolical purpose with a refinement of cunning, cruelty, and treachery, known only in the East. Sech are the vile, degraded, hypocritical races—false to the core—with whom Europeans have to deal in the East.—Morning Post. LORD PANMURE AND THE INDIAN CRIBIS. The following, are the remarks made by Lord Panmure at the meeting of the county gentlemen of Forfar Lord Panmure said—The business on the roll is now concluded, but there is a subject which I wish to bring before the county, and it is one in which the whole country is deeply interested. It is impossible that any of you can be ignorant of what has taken place in India ; and it is equally impodsible almost to speak of what has taken place there 'with any control over the feelings - which come into our minds. (Hear, hear.) Scotland, as you are aware, has given many of her sons to India—many of LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. A special meeting of the proprietors' of the London and North-Western Railway Company was held at Euston-square yesterday, for the following purposes:- 1. To authorise agreements wi'h the Shropshire Union Railways and Canal Company, with respect to the con version of the shares, or stock of these Companies into ordinary stock of the London and North-Western Railway Company. 2 lo authorise the London and North- Western RAilway COmpacy to sulJscribe towards the RaTton Extension capital of the Stockport, Disley, and Whaley-bridge Railway Company to an extent' not ex. ceeding 4105,000 3 To submit to 'he proprietors the heads of a contract approved by the Government for the conveyance of the mails between London and Kingstown. 4. To- submit to the proprietors an aereement for the purchase of the Huston and Victoria Hotels. The chair man (the Marquis of Chandos) presided. In an explanatory document circulated among the pro . prietors, it was observed that " parliamentary sanction was obtained in the last session for the conversion ofthe 'shares or stock of the Shropshire Union Company into shares or stock of the London and North Western Chen. pany:' The following were stated to be the clauses of the Act 20 and 2 Vie , chap. I enabling the proprietors in the respective companies to act on that. behalf Sec. 34 requires " The consent of three fifths at least of the votes of the shareholders, in person or by proxy, at any extraordinary meeting of the respective companies specially convened for the purpose, or the companies may from time to time enter into such agreements as they re spectively think fit with respect to theeonversion of all or any of the shares cr stock of the Shropshire Union Com pany into ordinary stock bf the .Landon and North- Western Cempany." Sec. 36 provides that the shares or 'stock of the Shrop shire Union Company so from time to time converted shall cease to exist, and the Londem and North-Western Com pany shill issue to the holders of the shares or stock: so converted ordinary stock of the London and North- Western. Company. • Ste. 37.—" Provided always. That, the total nominal amount of the ordinary stock of the London and North- Western Company so issued shall not exceed one-half the total nominal am mnt of the sock or shares of the Shrop shire Union Company so converted." " See. 3a—The ordinary stock of the London and North- Western Company created by this act, and so issued, shall confer like rights of voting, qualification, and o'her privileges as the other ordinary stock orthat company: It was added .that the conversion of shares or stock authorised by these clauses would not involve any ad ditional payment or liability on the part of the London and. North-Western Company. The explanatory state ment then proceeds as follows r.— " The extension authorised last session of the Stock-r pert, Disley, and Whaley Midge railway,, will bring the town of Baxton into immediate connection with the lin es of thiS company: The directors, for the same reasons which induced them to take an interest in the original line, and 'which led the conialtation committee to the conclusion (stated in their report)" that the board, under 'the circumstances then existing, acted prudently in making arrangements to work the I:ne, and for taking the portion of capital subscquentty authorised by Parliament,' recommend that the capital for the extension line be taken to the extent authorised by Parliament, 105,0001, and that when completed, the'line be worked on the same terms as the Stodkport :and Disley line. As intimated by the directors in the last hatf'-yearly report, they are now enabled to Slate that the long pending negociation with the Government for the improvement of the Irish pasSenger and postal communidatiort, has resulted: in an agreeinent as to the conditions of a contract between the Postmaster gereEral and the united companies (Lemon and North Western, Chester arid flolyhead;. and City of Dublin,) under the act of 1853, for a new Postal and Passenger Service between London and Kingstown. The contract is for fourteen years, subject to a power of the Govern ment, at any time after the first five years, to put tan end to the contract, if they have reason to be dissatisfied with the manner in which it is generally performed ; in which event the government will purchase the packets at a price to reimburse the 'net Cost, to be determined by arbitration. The existing contract with the City of Dublin Steam Packet Comp‘any is to terminate when the new contract takes effect. There are to be provided four packets, each being not less than 300 feet long, 1,700 tons measurement, any of- such construction as stall be approved by the government as being suitable for this improved service, and for the accommodation of the public. There are to be four communications—two each way daily L-between London and Kingstown in eleven hours, subject to penalties for delay, except ,in certain cases, when arising from causes beyond the con trol of the companies. Nothing contained in the. con tract is to be interpreted to interfere with the rights of the Postmaster-General, or of the companies, under the existing agreements or contracts with the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, and with the London and North Western Railway Company, excepting so far as .the establishment of these new trains will render the service under such contracts or agreements unneces sary. The new service is to commence within two years from the execution of the contract. By agreement hr , f. .ynnn t lin o' ^ •• at WO,OOOl, is to be provided equally by tee London rud North-Western and City of Dublin Steam Packet Compa nies. This company had the option of being half owners and managers of the steam packets to be provided under this contract.; the directors, however, deemed it more expedient to arrange with the. City of Dublin Company for the performance of the sea portion of the service—this company being relieved from all liability in respect therecf—the vessels being available and at the disposal of this company for, the development of passenger traffic, as fully as if they were its own property. Under thie arrangement, the proportihn of the capital to be provided for the construction of the steam boats ,by the London and North-Western Company will be advanced as a loin, bearing interest at-5 per cent., on the security of the four packets (costing double the amount of the advance); 'and of the receipts for traffic earned by the steam vessels.' The capital so advanced will be repaid by annual instalments. For the land service, there is to be paid annually the sum of 20,0001., independent of and in addition to the amount now paid to the London and North Western Company under their present - general*:contract ; and the sum of 39,000 t. now paid annually to the Chester and Holyhead. Company under the existing arrangement between that company and the government, will continue to be so paid ; which suni Of 30,0001 shall, during the existence of this contract, include, in addition to the service now performed in respect to it, the service herein provided for. By a recent act of Parliament. the Com pany were empowered to provide hotel accommodation in the vicinity of their Landon Terminus. The Euston and Victoria Hotels, built in 1639, by an Hotel Company, cam posed principally of shareholders in the then London and Btrrningharn railway, are now let on lease, which expires in 1861. In view of this event, and in order to insure the hotels being managed under regulations and arrangenients g( s ereralle,7, so as to afford the greatest possible accommo. dation to travellers using the lines of this company, the directors-have deemed it expedient to purchase the build ings (the company already possessing the freehold) for 55,000 e Tile rent payable under the existing lease suffices to pay a full interest upon the amount -of the purchase money.'' The Chairman, in moving, the approval of the arrange ment with the Shropshire• Union Company, obseried that it was entirely in acaerdanee with the Original agreement between the two companies, and that h it would load to an immediate simplification of accounts. ler reply to a question, TOe Chairman stated that the capital of _the Shropshire Union Company was aboutA 1,L00,000. • The nrietioa was carried with only one dissentient. Resolutions ware thew:passed, sanctioning the arrange ment with the Stockport, Disley, and Wholeybridge Com_ pany, and the contract with respect to the Irish passengers and postal• com:nunicatim, in accordance with, the foregoing statement of the directors. The' Chairman then moved a resolution for the purchase of the Eustom and Victoria Hotels fur the sure• of £55,000, ob3erving that the company were already the freeholders, that, the hotels were let for four years at the sum of £3,500 per annum, and that the object of purchasing them was to obtain control over the future4inanagement. A Shareholder wished to know whether it wasneces sary that the buildings should be purchased at that moment, remarking that there were strange storiee. in the City with regard to the position of their company in re gard to money:matters. The Chairman hoped that the hon. proprietor did not believe these stories; and another sharekider thought that the rcport should have a distinct contradiction. Mr.. G. C. Glyn, M.P.--What report ? The Shareholder who had. intro luced the matter, upon being called upon for explanation, said a clerk in a bank, occupying a very influential position, bad told bim that it was necessary for that company to borrow a large sum of money, and that the amount of interest' tb be' paid would reduce the dividends. Re himself attributed the fall in tie company's shares to jobbing. The Chairman said the hon. proprietor need not alarm himself, as there was no foundation fo,- the report which he had mentioned. (Rear, hear.) The company was in fact in a very easy position as regarded money. The resolution was then agreed to, and this terminated the proceedings.

On Wednesday morning, about two o'clock, the inha— bitants residing at Iligham Common, about three mile 3 from Barnsley, were aroused from their slumbers by th e report of a terrific explosion, which had taken place in the colliery of Messrs. J. & J. Charlesworth, at that place. The residents, most, of whom are colliers, were soon on the pit-hill, where they found the metal plates dislodged by the ex lesion. Mr. Ainsworth : the egen', accompanied by several of the workmen, descended the shaft, which i 130 yards deep, when they found so much damacze done to the workings that they were unable to penetrate any great distance into them. They however were able to get to the stables. On their way they found the tenter of the cupola slightly burnt, and in a state of insensibility, and unable to give any account of the explosion. Both his 'lamps were in perfect order. Nine dead horses were found in the stables. Fortunately no men .were at work, :or the effects would have been dreadful, there being more ;than 100 persons employed in the mine. It is generally supposed that 'a fall of the roof has taken p 111 , ,, an 1 dis lodged a large quantity of gas, which has fired at the cupola. STORMS ON THE COAST. RAMSGATE. Thursday.—A. fearful gale prevailed throughout to day off the Kentish cogs', during which several vessels drove into this harbour of refuge and Safety ; but the French vessels, the Petite Emma, M. Vallice, master, and the Josephine, barq le, 7C6 tons, bound from Seaham to Bordeaux, coal laden, in making for the harbour drove ashore, and were eventually lost. The Emma sank so that not a vestige was to be seen, bat the other broke up and speedily strewei the coast with the wreck. The crews were fortunate'y rescued from a watery grave, and received every attention that humanity could suggest, with a change of raiment, but a poor bora( 15 was killed by a falling spar; HASTYNOi•-0a Wednesday night, between nine and tea o'clock, a sloop was observed to be in great distress a short distanee from the shore. The moon shone at the time, and in a cparter of anhour she struck upon the rooks. Efforts. were made to save the crew, who were seen clinging to the mast, but without sucu>ss. Here they remained for nearly an hour, when the sloop broke up and all hands were lost. The name on the stern of the pantis, Draper, Thomas Price, Plymouth.

A brig wasiat length descried in the offing, and it was evident she eetild not withstand the gale. The vessel was totally unmanage_ able, and was f,.st driving ashore; and communication between her and the land was attempted by means..of rockets, but without avail, and she struck on a sand bar east of the western entrance to. the Chain pier, at save* o'clock. Two- life-boats —one the property of the town, and the other the private property of John Weight, the well-known wa.terman—immediately put off, and the town boat reached the vessel first, and took off five of the crew, hein; unable to take more. as she was comp .4led to •• cast off."

The complainant, seeing danger to the boy, warned•him to keep off the train, or he might be hurt, and the h it was, emseqrten•ly. left b• hind.
