The CHAIRMAN said hebelieved,the agreement with

,then pons eto say, when a
further sum would .he requixed, as the East India
st
Company had at present, 5/.7,00/. in hand. He
thought:they would have one or swo ordinary meet-
ings of the company 'before the qutistion would come
before them. The East India Company,
having. so
large a sum in.hand, werenot desirous of increasing
the amount. The last call, at their request, was de-

si,lered that the estimated cost of the line was under

BIDEFORD, NORTH DEVON, FEB. 10.—About
seven o'clock this morning a fisherman on the beach adjoin-
ing the property of Sir J. 11. Williams, of Clovelly-court,
picked up the body of a gentleman, supposed to be one of
the passengers by the ill-fated Amazon, and to have lain in
the water about a month. The wife of the man who picked
up the body has just been here, and says that the body is
that of a person six feet high, stout made, wearing a frock
coat lined with silk, a great coat, mid a fancy striped shirt;
he had in his pocket a steel pen and holder, with some
tobacco.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF WATCHES.—AII extensive
seizure of watches has been made by the officers of the re-
venue. The particulars of the seizure have not transpired,
but the capture was effected at a house at the west end of
the town (not in the trade), and the valuable contraband
articles were concealed in a manner well calculated, if pos-
sible, to elude the vigilance of the officers. It is stated that
the watches, amounting to several hundred in number, are
of a very superior description, and are worth many thousand
pounds.

SATURDAY EVENING,

Previous' to his execution, MERINO wrote a letter
to the QUEEN, expressing deep contrition for his crime.
He solemnly repeated this declaration al ud, and added
that it was quite true that be had accomplice, that ho
had commicet d the crime of his own • free will, that he
again demanded pardon of GOD, the QUEEN, and the
Royal family, as also of all to whom he had done wrong.
He observed that he also demanded pardon of the
clergy for the disgrace he had brought on them.
When the fatal hoar had arrived MERINO was placed
on an ass, to be conveyed to the scaffold. An immense
crowd was 'assembled before the prison, but it dis-
played neither agitation nor wrath. The authorities
had taken imposing precautions for the preservation
of order. It is said that the officer commanding
the escort remarked to MERINO Ft" he left the prison:—
" You have the face of a monste..!" to which he replied,
"And you have the head of a monkey !" On the way
to the scaffold the regicide, who had recovered all his as-
surance. carried his head erect and gua-d on ail sides.
When he arrived he was kept waiting till twenty minutes
past one o'clock, the time at which the crime had been
perpetrated. Shortly. before the fatal moment he as-
cended the steps of the scaffold with great firmness, at-
tended by two priests. He took his seat on the fatal
bench, and cast a look full of assurance on the crowd,
which amounted to nearly 40,000 persons. The execu-
tioner then did his office. At that moment some cries
for the QUEEN were raised. It is said that on seati, g
himself the regicide repeated word for word the last de-
claration he had written to the QUEEN. When he was
dead, one of the priests addressed a brief and appropriate
spc e3h to the crowd, which shortly after dispersed.
No Bourse, as it was Sunday.

" Sir,—With reference to my letter to you of the 26th ult.,
I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to inform you
that her Majesty's Government are prepared, in certain
cases, to advise her Majesty to accept the services of volun-

corps is recommended by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county,
and that the members of the corps undertake to provide their
own arms and equipments and to defray all the expenses
attending it, except in the event of the corps being assem-
bled for actual service.
_

" It must be understood that such corps will be subject to
the provisions of the Act 44th George 111., c. 54, and to
such rules and regulations as may from time to time be made
by her Majesty under the authority of that or of any other
Act relating to volunteer corps.
"Any proposal for the formation of such corps, accompa-
nied by a statement of the intended number of its members,
will, if transmitted to Sir George Grey by the Lord Lieutenant
of the county, receive the consideration of her Majesty's Go-
vernment.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant.
