dition to its through %Mac 'Demme with the Lis, has almost
a monopoly of the petroleum tragic in Peaneylvanla, with vast
coal bads and other importantsources of local revenue. The cost
of its construction having been so mach leas, and its mortgage debt

Criess Mosley. req., Trustees.
Dear dire,—You are aware that at the request of the capital-
ist. furnishing the fonds for the construction of the Atlantic
and Great Western Bellamy, in; arm undertook the grave re-
sponsibility 01 the supervision of the works of the Ilse, to be
executed under a contract with Mt. McHenry, and from the
plans and designs of lir. Thomas W. Kennard, the engineer-in-
chief Si the railway.
Before the works went commenced, my firm sent one of Its
most experienced agents, who had superinteeded the execution
of several large works, sod who had been In it. employ upwards
of thirty yews, and entrusted to his charge the supervision of
the cari..us works to be executed on the railway.
It is due both to Mr. Kennard, the engineer-hi-chief, and to
Mr. McHenry. the contractor, that 1 should state to yen that the
position we occupied, which might have been an invidious one,
has not In the slightest degree partaken of that character. Every
recommendation of our agent has been at mace cheerfully car-'
tied out, and Mr. McHenry has executed his contract with an
honest desire to carry out every engagement in a fair and
liberal spirit. The line has been ballasted and laid In a style telly
equal to the best of our English railways, while the extremely
favourable natant of the country through which it passes km
rendered necesasry so few works of art, that lira maintenance
need not exceed the arrows cod per mile of oar railways at
home. The stations throughout are of ample extent, and the
siding accommodation fully equal to the requirements of the
traffic.

—lt Must he 'Frey satisfrotoey to you to find that the engineer-
Inehlef states in his last report that the tramc at the present
time In sufficient to ry . at the then price of gold, the dividend
on all the Conßonds of the entire line, assuming them
not to he tensed to a greater extent than L 6,600 etg. ,six thou-
sand gee hundred pounds sterling) per lineal mile. Estimates
and predictions are so often Waffled, that this fact becomes
pecaUarly valuable, the eon so as at the present time the
rolling stock is not more than equal to the requirements of the
local traffic ; and when the rolling stock to he provided under
the agreement with the Erie Company Is placed on the line,
these Increased facilities cannot fail to produce an amount of
tragic far taceeding the estimates which have been prepared In
regard to it. —I am, dear sin, foe Bette and Pelf, yours faith-

11 At an early hotirTe;teirlai morning a tremen-
-1 dons storm from the south-east, accompanied by formes
of rain, burst over this port sad the adlorat mask From
half-past 1 a.m. until 6 o'clock the p 1 aged with great
fury end the surf dashed with such violence upon the
beach that no ordinary boat could have lived in it for an
instant. There was a very large fleet of vowels in the road.
stead, coneisting of masters sad steam rollers. At about
4 o'clock the barque Bea Serpa* Captain Amough, of sad
from Shields for Jamaica, with coals, dragged her anchors
and drifted rapidly towards the shore. The perilous posi-
tion of the mew, 14 in number, exclusive of the officers, was
observed by the be•chmen and theComtgnard, who promptly
responded to their signals of distress The former manned
the surf lifeboat of the National Imatintioa, and pl-
lan=laturehed through the breakers ; while the Coast-
g er, under the direction of Captain Bevan, R.N.,
misted by Captain R.N., and ILr. Petra primers&
the rocket apparatus. The us, driven by the heavy seas,
grounded close to the Wellington Pier. The mew took to
the rigging. Notwithstanding the urgency of the ewe, the
captain at arst refused to leave his mod, and the lifeboat
incurred great danger aleupide, one mountsinons wave
completely overwhelming the lifeboat, causing her to dis-
appear for an instaat, to the day of the spectators on
shore, who hared that the was lot. Recovering from the
shock, the boatmen again approached the vowel and rescued
• portion of the mew, while the remainder were saved by
the rocket apparatus. At Oceleston and Gorton, pieces in
Immediate proximity to Yarmouth, the effects of the
storm were much more severe. The schooner lady Ana,
of Wells, Captain Harman, drove from bar =chore
on to the beach. The crew took to the item, the sea
breaking over the vernal with fearful violence. Neither the
stamen nor lifeboats were able to put out. there Wag no
surf-boat bore, the boteluare Dever having expreseed • wish
to bare such • boat in addition to their own large private
lifeboth. Neverthlem, the rocket apparatus was used
with good 1640 i, aad the mew were saved, with the exosp-
Coe of • lad named Mayes, • relative of the master, who was
washed from the fwing and drowned. The echoer** Light
of the Harem, of Whitstable, drove on the beach at Gorton.
The vessel's back warbrothe. The crew, Des in number,
were rescued by the rocket apparatus. The erhoseer Sul-
tana. Captain Shod, of Sundoiaod, to, Freese, with cos*
drove on Giorleaon beach. The crew were saved by the
rocket cep stn A pig from this vessel swam through
the breaker, and upon reaching the shore was sold by the
master to a bystander. The Dutch gelliot Capella, with •
crew of ex, also drove on the beach. The men were saved
by the rocket apparatus. In these varied rescues the beach-
men, both of Yarmouth and Gorketon, exhited the utmost
daring, frequently rushing into the raging surf with hues
for the purpose of erring the lives of their fellow-creatures.
It 1 reported that there are other vessels on shore, and
that a &blurb**, with all hands has foundered. The
weather still look, very threatening.

TYNEMOUTH. THURSDAY, 10.30 P.Y.

The Stanley eteamship, with pessengers and oattle, from
Aberdeen for Leedom, came on the roam hem is the gale
to-night. Only three of the Crew have been got ashore.
The boat swamped and drowned three female peonage's and
one mamas. No ooninmeication ma be had with the vessel.
It is feared the mew (25 in number) and paseesgen will be
lost. There is a Scotch schooner ashore here, and her crew
are in a similar poeitioa. The Constance lifeboat got into
harbour d' Four of her crew are aboard the schooner.
The sea is tearful, and the night is extremely dark.
LOWESTOFT, THITZSIDAT nowt.
While the Prudeoos smack was off Lowestoft this morn-
ing a heavy sea washed overboard Charles Francis, one of
the crew, who was drowsed. A French schooner, theActaf,
is on shore at Corte.

DUNGENWS, KENT, THURSDAY Mawr.
The following is a, copy of the report of the coxswain of
the Dungeness lifeboat of the National Institution relative
to some important services rendered by that lifeboat
" Yesterday evening, in • gale of wind from the S.S.E.,
with heavy rains, received information of a vessel being
stranded about a mils to the westward of this lifeboat
station of the National Institution. Immediately called
the lifeboat's crew topther, sad sent a messenger to
Romney for horses, and in the interval attempted to get
off in the coastguard galley, which we failed to
do, there being such a heavy Nay with the wind right on.
We then launched the lifeboat, manned by the coastguard
of this, Romney, and 27 Tower Stations, and succeeded in
getting on board. Found the vessel to be the barque
Louis XIV., 435 tone, bound from Dunkirk to Liverpool, in
ballast She had parted her cable on Dungeoese Roads.
We suoceedadjin bringing the crew of 15 axes, incloting
captain sod pilot, ashore in the lifeboat at about 3
this (Thursday) morning. Theo is every probability of the
motel becoming • total wreck, as she is now partly full of
water.—Teomas KOCamolL, commis of the Duaganesa
Lifeboat belonging to the National Institution."
WALMR.B., KENT, THURSDAY NIGHT.
Admiral Cannon reports the following shipwreck off
Kinpdown, near Dial :—" At about a quarter past 3 o'clock
this morning, blowing • gale from the B.E. by E. with heavy
raze, • Kingsdoen boatman reported here that the eohoooer
Devouport, of Teigumouth, was on shore a little to the
eastward of Kingsdown, and that the crew could be beard
calling for help; but in °moquettes of the heavy
ses upon the beach at Kinpdown, the shore
boats there were unable to launch, sad stated that
the assistance of the Walmer lifeboat, belonging to the
National institution, was required. In °moments of a
heavy so upon the Widmer bearb, and the wind and tide
beige against the progress of the Weimer lifeboat by water,
the coxswain immediately sent to the Karim Barracks (ac-
cording to previous Ls) which were elute at hand,
for a party of 60 mm to the lifeboat to Klagedown, a
distance of one mile and three-quarters. About 4 o'clock,
reining bard and still blowing a gale, the marines and the
crew took the boat et • quick pace towards Kin own, with
the view to launching the lifeboat to windward of the
vessel is distress, and than running down to bar assistance.
When, however, they bad reached about half-way they
were met by • Kirgadowit coastguardsman, who reported
that the crew of five men of the vessel in distress had all
been widely landed in a Kiagedown boat, which bad sue-
ceeded In launching, as the No on the beach bad become
smoother as the tide flowed. The lifeboat services being no
longer required abs was drawn back to Wainer by the
marines, and reached the boat-house about half-past 5 a.m."
SCARBOROUGH, THURSDAY NIGHT.
I have the honour to report (says Captain Woxbl) the
following service of the lifeboat here belonging to the
Royal Natioual Lifeboat Institution. At 2.30 p.m. a small
sloop ewe into the bay and attempted to tali thebarbour,
the wind wee very light from the east, while the sea was
very heavy; it was very doubtful whether she could
make the harbour, as she ran great risk of being swamped
by the heavy seas, which were breaking • full mile from
the shore. At last she approached the pier head,
and received several heavy blows from the breakers, and at
one time she seemed as if she must come ashore. The life-
boat was then at ono launched and rowed out to her. Just
then • breeze filled the sloop's mails, the sea lulled for a few
momenta, and gathering way, she shot up into the harbour,
just as the lifeboat reached her. A minute previous •
cable from the pier got a warp to her, and she WAS dragged
up into a place of safety. There was considerable risk to
the men in the lifeboat, as the sea was heavy on the beach.

HOSPITAL Pot CONSUMPTION, Beoxrrovr.—A
=Ticourt of 'overbore el this ehrity was held plater-
the hospital, the Rev. Sir Henry Yowke In the chair.
The secretary read the report of the committee of manage-
ment, which stated that advantage had been taken of the
late fine weather to effect the .scenery repairs to the west
wing of the hospital. The extra beds, increasing the ae.
commodation to 210 beds foe the winter, had all been filled.
The oat-patient department was also ovatintdeg its work of
uesfidneee. The committee hoped before the next court to
be in a poultice to purchase the freehold al the land on
which the hospital stood. The number of ia-patients ad-
mitted since August last had been 309, of whom 232 had
been discharged greatly beeefitted, and 65 bad died. The
number of oat-patients during the same period had bees
2,020. The report having been unanimously adopted the
usual routine business was gorse through, and the court
terminated with a vote of theab to the chairman.

RUGBY, THURSDAY.
At 'the annual meeting of the Rugby and
Dencehiust Canervative Amociatime, this evening, Mr.
Newelegate spoke at considerable length in justification of
the course which he pursued during the last seesion, and
afterwards said—Yon will forgive me for saying that great
anxiety is manifested to know what will be my
future conduct in relation to party. (Hear, hear.) I can
only give you that beat of all 1111111111161103, my conduct in the
(Cheers.) There is no man who recognises more
141:411t; the necessity for party organisation. Remember that
I have held the Aloe of whipper-in " for the ooasenstive
party, sod no more zealous whipper•in ever undertook the
duty who worked harder than I did, so long as I wee con-
fident of one thing—that there was a strict rearm between
the principle which we had advanced to the country and
the action of the party for which I laboured ea the reps.
sanative of those opinions, but of late years circumstances
have occurred which rendered it my duty, as reprementing
distinct opinions, to take my seat below the gangway as an
independent member. If North Warwickshire her not
the courage to rapport her member when he meson to
be isolated on a division, and has not the inclination
to abide by the opinions which she has so long directed
him to advocate, all I can my is that I await the expres-
sion of bar opinion, and if she is changed in principle I shall
readily acknowledge the justice of bar verdict. If she
declares that I am no longer fitted to be her representative
—(cheers)—bet I must remind North Warwickshire of
this : for sixteen or seventeen years I have take. an
active part in public life, always in the sense of this
principle on which I was first returned. Yon cannot give
use back then seventeen years—you cannot cancel them ;
and were I sow to abandon those principles I should not
stand like ayoung man free from all engagements in enter-
ing parliament for the first time, but it might be that my
whole past conduct would rise up against me and condemn
me. I should have to struggle forward constantly re-
minded of abandoned principles, of abandoned opinions.
I should be impotent for good, and, therefore, I qualify
the question that has been put to me—Will you support
Lord Derby and his party for every constitutional purpose
and in every oonstitutional mode of action' (Cheers.)
Bat if 1 bud either Lord Derby, party or him's&
departing from the psi* fundaniental principles of our
protestant constitutioe—(cheers)—l will oppose the leaders
of that party, acting, I am happy to say, with be body of
that party in the House of Commons, as I did upon the
Prison Ministers Bill—a bill for the qualified establishment
of Roman catholic chaplains in every gaol to bo paid by the
✓atepayers. (Hear, hest.) I will oppose them es I did on
the Lords' bill, which was an exaggeration of the principles
proposed by Sir G. Grey during the last lesion.la accord-
ance with the principles to which I adhere, I will support
Lord DerbYs party, as I have always dose, but I will not
be carried beyond those principles.

THE REPRESENTATION or E.4BEX. —Though pre-
parations are still going on in some parts of the kingdom
with • view to a general election, there is • lull in the
rumours upon the subject in Essex ; and we learn upon
authority, which we believe to be trustworthy, that
there is no probability of • desolation till after the
next session. It was seen by the report of the proceed.
logs at the Maldon club that some of the coneerva-
tire leaders repudiate the idea of • compromise of the
nature we alluded to oa the authority of • oorreepondent
last week. It will be seen, too, that • new conservative
candidate was mentioned for Harwich in the person
of Mr. Turks, of the Lawn, at Rochford ; but •
London paper bee sines stated that Mr. Relic, the greet
contractor, is to be the conservative candidate in the roam
of Colonel Rowley. We learn that some of the rumours
which have lately been current with respect to the county
are, at all events, premature, for though the liberals have
determined to contest the South, and as it appears evident
from the announcement of last week, the North also, the
man who is to fight the battle in the letter division is not
finally selected. Sir Thomas Burch Western has been re-
peatedly named as the prebethe candidate, we suppose from
his being recognised as the heed of the liberal party in the
county ; but it seems, it is thought, is yet too early to make
any praise arrangement, and certainly any aneounesseent
on the subject.- Citelauferd Oironicie

said he regretted that they ware unable to elect more than
three persons on that occasion, considering the many
wealthy persons who oomprise,l the trade. The ream
800 had now been in existence since the year 1847, its
object being to allow pensions to decayed master builders
and others of every branch of the building trade and
their widows, and to give temporary relief to workmate of
all masters being members of the institution, in casss of
accident. Their funded stock in the Three per Cent. Console
err now 9,8621., and they at present had 36 prairies on
their funds. It would have bees gratifying to him if they
had been able to elect all those that day who presented them-
selves, but they could not do impossibilities, sod they must
therefore wait for greeter prosperity. He would, however.
