NOTICE TO MARINERS.

The following has been posted at Lloyd's :
Hydregraphic-office, Admiralty, April 19,1852.
FIXED LIGHT IN THE STRAIT OF SUNDA.

Her Majesty's Government has been officially informed
that on the 28th of last November a fixed light was
established by the Netherlands Government on Fourth
Point, in the Strait of Sunda. The tower, which is
built of stone, stands on the sea beach, nearly three
miles from Anjer, in 6 deg. 4 min. 50 sec. S., and in 105
deg. 56 min. 35 sec. E. of Greenwich. The light is dis-
played at an elevation of 94 feet above the level of the
sea, and may be seen in all directions from the deck of a
vessel at the distance of ten miles.

Trui FAST-DAY.--Thursday was observed here as
the half-yearly sacramental fast. Considerably more than
the usual number of people left the city by the different
railways and coaches ; and this, although the day was none
of the most agreeable for recreation in the country, owing to
the dust that has accumulated on the roads from the long
drought, having been blown about in clouds by the high
state of the wind. The only accident that we heard of oc-
curred in Princes'-street. Two men, father and son, were
driving along in a dog-cart, when the horse shied at a vehi-
cle that was passing, and ran against the railing of West
Princes'-street Gardens, in consequence of which they were
both thrown out. The father was severely injured, and lies
in a very precarious state; and the son had his arm broken
in two places.—Scotsman.
On Thursday Mr. James, a butcher, of Torpoint,
was in the act of " quartering " a lamb, when the knife
slipped and inflicted a wound in his thigh, dividing the
artery, and the great effusion of blood which ensued resulted
in his death, about two hcurs afterwards.

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
Some improvement is now perceptible in the public
health, as indicated by a declining rate of mortality. The
deaths registered in London rose each week during
nearly the whole of March above 1,200; in the last
three weeks they have been successively 1,051, 1,092,
and 1,021. During the former period the mean weekly
temperature did not average more than 40 deg. • in the
last three weeks it has been as follows :-44 deg., deg.,
and 46 deg.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51
the average number of deaths was 920, which, if raised
in proportion to the increase of population, becomes
1,012. The 1,021 deaths, therefore, registered in the
week that ended last Saturday differ but to a small ex-
tent from the calculated result.

On reference to the table of fatal diseases an improve-
ment on the returns of the previous week is apparent in
the numbers ascribed to diseases of the respiratory or-
gans; for in that week the deaths in this class were 214,
but they havo now fallen to 172. Bronchitis has de-
clined from 102 to 71; pneumonia from 77 to 61. Com-
plaints of this kind, however, still continuo more fatal
than is usual at this period; for the corrected average
of corresponding weeks is 155, on which there was an
excess last week of 17.

The epidemic class of diseases exhibits a total num-
ber of 204 cases in the present return, whilst the ave-
rage corrected for increase of population is 195.
Small-pox maintains its ground, and was fatal last
week to 29 children and 9 persons, whose ages varied
from 15 years to 25 or upwards. In 6 of the
38 cases it is stated that the sufferers had been vacci-
nated previously. It appears from the observations of
some of the registrars that the disease is getting rife
amongst the population, Fatal cases of measles number
16, of scarlatina 38, of hooping-cough 35, and croup 14.
There were 2 caused by influenza, and 1 by purpura ;
typhus, remittent, infantile fever, &c., 40 ; rheumatic
fever, 4. Six persons died of erysipelas, 3 children of
syphilis ; 6 women died of puerperal fever, besides 5
others after childbirth. It is remarkable that diarrhoea
was fatal in only one case, though in the previous week
the number was 15, and the average of corresponding
•
weeks is 10.

Thore were two deaths registered from tetanus, ap-
parently idiopathic, namely, that of a man, aged 16
years, and that of a woman, 36, besides a man who died
of lock jaw produced by an injury received from a
crane.
At 18, James-street, Kensington, on 22d April, a girl,
aged 3 years, died of " variola (10 days); vaccinated
without effect at the age of 3 months." Mr. Gorham
adds that " small-pox prevails much in his sub-district,
and it is to be regretted that in most cases vaccination
has been omitted, iu consequence (so far as the regis-
trar can learn) of a prejudice existing among the poor
that children are liablo, after vaccination, to:eruptions of
the skin."
At 5, West-road Cottages, North-end, Fulham, on 22d
April, the son of a labourer, aged 7 years, died of " small-
pox (2 weeks)." Mr. Knight mentions that " the parents
had lately washed clothes brought from London, which
had been used by a patient under small-pox, but they did
not become aware of the circumstance till afterwards. The
child had been vaccinated three times, but always, it
effect." In St. George
appears, without 'B4a-the East,
at 1, Pruson's Island, on 23d
_tipril, the son of a la-
bourer, aged 9 months, " confluent small-pox, unpro-
tected." Mr. Verrall states that " the parents of this
child refused to have him vaccinated, though his brother
was ill with the disease at the same time."
In May-fair, at 111, Mount-street, on the 16th April,
aged two months, died. of "an eruption occur-
ringa girl,
the result of vaccination."
as At the London
Hospital
a labourer from we Chi ll
g , aged 56 years, died
on 18th April, of carbuncle. At Guy's Hospital a boy,
aged six years, died of " chronic disease of larynx,
phthisis,
tracheotomy" (post mortem). In Ranelagb•
sstreet, a man, aged 64 years, died suddenly 15 minutes
after catheterism for retention of urine (12 hours);
very enlarged prostate, especially third lobe; very en-
larged heart, with dropsy of pericardium (post mortem).
It is stated that the deceased enjoyed good health, and
had no medical aid till the day of his death. A man,
aged forty years, died from "obstruction of the bowels
(five weeks); a fibrous band for about an inch and a
half surrounded the colon, and rendered it quite
pervious" (post mortem).
At Mile-end, at 10, Vintners' Almshouses, on the
23d of April, the widow of a hatter died from general
decay of nature, at the great age of 100 years. M
castleton mentions that the deceased has left two sons.
and a daughter, the eldest above 70 years of age, and the
youngest above 60. She enjoyed her faculties both of
mind and body to the last.

present, and it is said that Robertson reasoned
with unaccustomed clearness and power, Whether

we cannot tell; but at any rate, he did not ac-

tleman, and as he was about to depart, bowed politely to
those in the room, while, as he retired through the door,
Robertsen took the light to show him the way. " Oh, sir,
said he to Robertsen, "1 find the light of nature always

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
EASTERN COUNTIES.
A special general meeting of the proprietors of this
company was held yesterday, at the London Tavern,
" For the purpose of taking into consideration the
several Bills following, now pending in Parliament, that
is to say—
' A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway
Company to construct branch railways to the Ea3t and
West India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway;
and to enlarge and improve their goods station, in the
parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, and for other
purposes."
" A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties Railway
Company to construct a railway to the River Nene, or
Wisbeach River, below WiJaei;ch, in lieu of a portion
of the railway authorised by The Wisbeach, St. Ives,
and Cambridge Junction Railway Act, 1846,' and to
erect warehouses, in connection with such railway, and
for other purposes."
_ _

" A tocontirm an agreement, therein mentioned,
between the Eastern Counties Railway Company and
the Newrnarltet Railway Company."
" A Bill to entitle the Eastern Counties Railway Com-
pany to use the East Anglian Railways; end to empower
the Eastern Counties Railway Company and the East
Anglian Railways Company to enter into and carry into
effect agreements for certain objects therein mentioned,
and for other purposes."
_ _

" A Bill to enable the Eastern Counties and London
and Blackwell Railway Companies to construct a rail-
way, with branches, to Tilbury and Southend, iu the
county of Essex, to provide a steam communication to
Gravesend, and for other purposes."
The chair was taken at one o'clock by Mr. Wadding-
ton, M. 1?., the chairman of the company.
The CWURSIAN in opening the business of the meet-
ing, stated that it had bee❑ convened for the purp:se of
enabling the directors to comply with the standing orders
of the House of Lords, which required that four-fifths of

the proprietors, in public meeting assembled, should
give their assent to any Bill which had passed the
House of Commons previously to its being considered in
the House of Lords. He should, therefore, proceed to
bring each of those Bills under their notice, and to sub-
mit them seriatim for their approval. The solicitor of
the company would read to them the heads of the first
Bill which they had been assembled to consider.
Mr. MAYNARD, the solicitor to the company, having
accordingly read the heads of the Bill for the con-
struction of the branch lines to the East and West
India Docks and Birmingham Junction Railway, and
to enlarge and improve the goods station at Bethnal-
green, .
Mr. Box proposed that the meeting should be ad-
journed, and that a committee of proprietors should be
appointed to inquire into and report on those Bills.—
(Cries of " No, no.")
A PROPRIETOR said that they ought to have no more
committees; and if they had committees he believed that
they would have no dividend.
The CHAIRMAN said that the appointment of a com-
mittee might render it impossible to have the Bills
passed in the course of the present session.
A PROPRIETOR asked how the money for the con-
struction of those works was to be raised?
The CHAIRMAN said it was to bo raised by debenture.
A PROPRIETOR said he wished they had the esti-
mates of the cost of those works.
The CHAIRMAN said that a former meeting all those
estimates had been stated; and the proprietors had at
that time, after the fullest explanations, given their
assent to those lines. The cost to be incurred under

the first Bill was estimated at 50,0001.; and tho cost to
be incurred under the second Bill was estimated at
18,0001.

The meeting then unanimously agreed to the adoption
of the first Bill.

The. second Bill, which would enable the company
to construct a line to the River Nene, or Wisbeach
river, was next submitted for the adoption of the

meeting.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the Bill would afford a
cheap mode of taking their railway to a point which ves-
sels could approach.
In reply to a question from a PROPRIETOR,
The CHAIRMAN said that all the works of the com-
pany were at present constructed by contract, except
those which were conducted by themselves.
The motion for the adoption of the second Bill was
then unanimously agreed to.
The third Bill, which would enable the company to
confirm an agreement between them and the Newmarket
Company, was next submitted to the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the agreement in question
had been sanctioned by a committee of the shareholders
of the Eastern Counties Company.
The motion for the adoption of the Bill was unani-
mously carried.
The fourth Bill, which would enable the company to
use the East Anglin Railway, and to enter into certain
agreementl with the East Anglian Railways Company,
was next submitted to the approval of the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN stated that certain alterations had
been introduced int) that Bill by the Committee of the
House of Commons, which would require the considera-
tion of the shareholder:, One of the new clauses intro-
duced into the Bill related to a power given to the Nor-
folk Company to call on the Eastern Counties Company
for an arbitration.

Mr. MACLAREN expressed his decided disapproval of
that clause. If it were adopted, he believed that by
means of the propded arbitration the Norfolk Com-
pany, whose receipts amounted to only 38,0001. a year,
would be enabled to saddle the Eastern Counties Com-
pany with a charge of 60,0001.; so that the Eastern
Counties Company would incur a loss of 221. a year,
He hoped the meeting would not give its sanction to
that clause.
The CJIAIRMAN stated that the llon. Proprietor
seemed to think that if that clause were adopted the
Norfolk Company would have the power of saddling
the Eastern Counties Company with a heavy loss in
perpetuity, lay confirming a certain agreement. But the
fact was, that under that clause, if the Norfolk Com-
pany should hereafter call on the Eastern Counties
Company to have recourse to arbitration, they would
abandon the very agreement to which the Honourable
proprietor had referred. If the clause were adopted the
Eastern Counties Company would have the option of
going to a reference; while the rejection of the clause
would amount to a rejection of the Bill; and then that
company would have no option, and would be bound to
go again before Parliament in the next session. He
believed that it would be moat suicidal on the part of
the company to reject that clause, and deprive them-
selves of the power,of considering the course they should
take hereafter.

A PnerarETort said ho entirely agreed with the
chairman upon that subject. If the facts were as Mr.
Maclaren had stated them to be, the Eastern Counties
Company could have nothing to fear from arbitration.
Mr. Martone.vE, a director of the company, said he
had dissented from the rest of the board as to the ex-
pediency of sanctioning that clause. But he thought it
might be safely adopted if the shareholders should ex-
tort a pledge to the effect that any proposal made by
the Norfolk Company for an arbitration should not be
agreed to until it should first have been brought before a
meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Com-
pany, and obtained their sanction.
The CHAIRMAN said he had no objection to give such
a pledge.
The Bill then obtained the approval of the meeting,
A resolution was then adopted to the effect that in the
event of the Norfolk Company calling for an arbitration
under that Act, a special meeting of the shareholders of
the Eastern Counties Company should be held to con-
sider that subject, and that twenty-one days' notice
should be given of that meeting.
The last Bill, which would give powers for the con-
struction of a railway to Tilbury and Southend, and for
providing a steam communication to Gravesend, was
then submitted to the meeting.
The CHAIRMAN stated that he believed those under-
takings would be of a useful and profitable character;
and he only regretted that they were not entirely in
the hands of the shareholders of the Eastern Counties
Company.
The meeting unanimously sanction the Bill.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman,
and the proceedings terminated._

EAST ANGLIAN.
Yesterday a special meeting of this company took
place at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, to con-
sider of a Bill now in Parliament for the amalgamation
of this with the Eastern Counties Company. Henry
Bruce, Esq., took the chair, and said that the Bill had
been before the House of Commons for the last four or
five days, and so strong had been the opposition, that
at one time he had his apprehensions that the Bill would
be thrown out, but ho was very happy to say that at
last the committee had agreed to pass the Bill. He must
do the Eastern Counties Company's chairman and soli-
citor the justice to say that, had it not been for their
extraordinary exertions to get this Bill through, they
might have had to regret its loss on this occasion. A
resolution
Companynwast then passed
upassesedtheforEaesntabAlinnggliatnheastern
Counties Railway,
and to enter into an arrangement for that purpose, sub-
ject to any modification which to Parliament might
seem fit.

The CHAIRMAN said that a Committee wore now oc-
cupied in going through the districts with a view to as-
certain tho traffic; and he had no doubt from the result
of that inquiry the two companies would find, when
united, that the traffic was much more satisfactory than
was ever expected.
A PROPRIETOR asked whet proportion of the 7 per
cents. had agreed to the reduction?
The CHAIRMAN said about half. He hoped the re-
mainder would see the propriety of agreeing
pro-
posal of the directors, as soon as the companies were
united. to the
The meeting then adjourned.

GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA.
Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company
Was held at the office, in Now Broad-street, City. W.
J. Hamilton, Esq., took the chair on the occasion.
The following aro extracts from the report:—
" Since the publication of the last half-yearly report of
the proceedings of this company, the works of the rail-
way have buin making satisfactory progress. The con-
tractors engaged upon the section between Bombay and
Tannah (Messrs. }soviet' and,Fowler), have had a loco-
motive engine upon the line, employed in ballasting,
since the month of February, which has been an object
of great attraction in Bombay, arldw will,
id,aictemaevnt wt
l hpirce-
sumed, lessen, if not remove, any risks of
might otherwise be entertained upon the first running o
the trains. The directors have entered into contracts in
England, for a supply of locomotive engines, passenger
carriages, and the various articles of rolling stock and
materials necessary for working the railway, of
which the greatest part are completed, and
many are alreadyor shtihpeped for Bombay. The en-

upon the Bhore (neat and its approaches along the 0o-
lase?, valley, and another set upon the 'Tull Ghaut dis-
trict up the valley of the river Basta. The surveys by
the Maisel Ghaut were previously executed. The diree-
tors therefore will, ere long, be enebled to judge of the
relative merits of these three routes. Simultaneously
with the surveys first mentioned, measures have
been
taken for ascertaining the nature and present amount of
the traffic upon these great thoroughfares, so that the core.
meraial merits of the several routes may be accurately
balanced before the final decision be given as to the line
to be adopted. The board of directors have under eon'
Isideration the question of laying down the electric tele-
graph along the line of railway; and the Government of
India have been applied to, for the results of experience
derived from working the telegraph in the B-ngal Pre-
sidency, which may guide the board in any particulars
that may be peculiar to the climate."
The CHAIRMAN said, in moving that the accounts be
received and adopted, he could not but express his I:6'
gret, in which he was sure that all present would joule'
in not having the advantage of their Noble Chairmanl,v,
preside over them on teat occasion. The late aceoun;
received from him stated that his health was so Weed
improved that he hoped to be able to return to Englel3l.:
in a month or six weeks.—(Hear, hear.) The rep
read stated the progress of the line in which they him
all so much interested, so that little remained for ,at
to say except on one or two subjects. The first was `,ete
there was but little doubt but the line would be coin?
