[ill PARLIAMENT.
(Second Reading, Friday, 12th instant, nearly the first thing at the

time of Private Business.)

Reasons circulated by the Old Replies by the Britis% Electric
1. le,. tri c Telegraph Company Telegraph Company, incorporated
against the Second Reading. by Act of Parliament, Isso.
1. This Bill has been ihtro-' 1. This is very far from being
duced really, though not oaten- the case, for the Bill has other
sibly, for the sole purpose of in- and entirely distinct objects,
vesting the British Electric Tele- which alone would render it just

entering compulsorily upon any Committee, viz. : To increase
railway or canal in the United the capital of the British Corn-
Kingd-em, in order to lay down party, and to limit (as in the case
Telegraphs aid Appara•us for of Gas end Water Companies)
their own private benefit. the future liabilities of the Mtn-
. pany. The old Electric Telegraph
Company, however, resist every-
, thing that can ,beno fit, a competi-
tor, and make this unscrupulous
statement in hoce of ,destroying
the entire Bill.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital. 500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., can. 110.)
The Equitable Fire Office, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to time, adopts such rates of premium as the
nature of the risk justifies ; and with tbls view an annual investi-
gation is made into each class of risk, and a return of fifty per cent.
of the net excess, made to all classes of Insurers whose policies have
been in force for three years,
Farming Stock insured at 35. per cent. without the Average
Clause.

2. The Bill even empowers the 2 and 3. These two statements

the whole capital of the company traffic," and " disturbing the ar-

In pursuance of the powers of the the entire absurdity; for what
Bill, company would so conduct them-
selves as to have to pay away
their " whole capital " in a single
day" "A.° a single line of rail-
way." a
The express words of the clause, .
moreover, prevent anything of
the kind ; and if there could be
any doubt of the wording of the
clause, a Select Committee would
at ones judge of it, and, if needs
be, make the words express the
•
meaning. But the Old Electric
Telegraph Company here first put
their own most incorrect inter-
pretation on the clause sad then
argue from it, as if every single
word of the Bill were stereotyped
and unalterable by a Select Com-
mittee.

Losses are made good without deduction or discount.

6. Every Railway Company (so 6. It is well that the statement
far as their opinions are ascer- is qualified by the words "so far
tallied) is opposed to this 13111. as their opinions are entertained.
Most have petitioned against it, It is denied that this is the genuine
and it seems oppressive to involve opposition of railway companies
them is the expense and anxiety
On the contrary, it is tally be-
of a contest before a CAnmittee, lieved thatprivate Interest has set
because a Company seeks, and
firmly adheres to, these men- the Railway Clearing-house in
motion, and that the opposition
strous and unprecedented powers. has been most improperly got up
by that establishment. As evi-
dence, it need only be stated
that a memorial was presented
against this Bill on Standing
Orders by (as set forth in such
memorial) the "Secretary to the
Clearing Committee, and now
• ' • :named by virtue of the Railway
Clearing Act, 1850, on behalf of
the Companies parties- to the
clearing system mentioned in that
Act."
If the Railway Clearing-house
is thus to be made the means of
obliging railway directors, over
whom it may have power to
• spend the moneys of their respec-
tive shareholders, in entering into
an amalgamated combination for
preventing inquiry into such sub-
jects as these before a Select
Committee, it not only places
railway companies in a fal-e
position before the public, but be-
comes an amalgamated socie
whollyty o
a very baneful nature, and
f
• contrary to the Railway Clearing
Act.
The anxiety of railway com-
panies is here spoken of, but what
must be the anxiety of merchants
and sto kbrokers to know the
news which is to regulate the
• prices of their markets and the
prices of tile Funds by more sure
and certain means than
yose
afforded by one only Compan, as
•
is at present the case.
Finally,—The real cause Is most respectftilly stated to be as fol-
lows, viz. :—Whether the question of what is the best and fairest
mode of securing to the public electric communication with the me-
tropolis by means of the Companies which Parliament has already
Incorporated for the purpose, is not a right quest on for reference to
a Select Comixilttee of the House of Commons? and whether, as
railways have become the high roads to the metrop Rs, a Company
does not lay a reasonable ground for reference to a Comord mittee, in
a-king (alter having duly complied with the standing ers) to be
allowed to erect their telegraphs on railways, making full compensa-
tion ? By order,

In accordance with the above resolution, the Directors are pre-
pared to receive offers of the whole or part of 100,0001. in sums o
100/. and upwards, at the rate of 4% per cent. per annam interest,
and for periods of five, teven, or ten years.
The Capital of the Company is 500,0001. in 25,000 Shares of 201.
each, of which sum only Si. per Share is intended to De called up ;
the uncalled capital, 375,0001., remaining as security to those who
may lend money to the Company for the specified
periods agreed or.
Under no circumstances will the amount of money received on de-
posit exceed the amount of Share Capital uncalled, which of itself
will constitute a complete guarantee for the re-payment of deposits
or loans made to the Company. But in adoition tc, and distinct
from it, the Depositor will have the entire investments of Share and
Loan Capital in Canada as a collateral security, and in no case does
the amount lent upon mortgage of land exceed half the marketable
value of the property appraised by competent persons. Thus if the
Debenture Debt be 375,0001., equal to the uncalled part of the capi-
tal, and therefore the largest sum that will be raised, it will be se-
cured by mortgages for 500,000/, on real estates of the value of at
least 1,000,0801.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine :

" Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.
" Sir,—ln consideratim of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
now inform you that a few doses gave me. great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health. which I attribute to Fran,pton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general ate by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.

unfortunately reduced to the necessity o! forthwith re-
' turning, with a double ship's company, to,Eugland.
She arrived, accordingly, in the midale of October. On
Nov. 22 in the same year,!Captain Parry (to whew the
freedom of the borough ef Lynn was voted a month
afterwards in testimony of the high sense entertained
by tee corporation of his meritorious and enterprising
conduct) was formally appointed Hydrographer to the
Admiralty, which office he continued to hold until Nov.
10, 1826. At the end of that period, haying proposed
and obtained sanction for a plan of reaching the North
Pole from tho northern shores of Spi zbergen, by travel-
ling with sledge-boats weir the ice, or through any
spaces of open water that might occur, he "3 again
appointed to the lice's. Sailing from Deptford March
25, 1827, he left the Heela in Treurenberg Bay, lat. 79
deg. 55 min. 20 sec., long,
_l6 deg. 48 min. 45 sea. E.,
Juno 21 following, and then took to his sledge-boats,
with which he contincl, by July 23, to reach a little
beyond 82 deg, 45 min.—a latitude more northern than
had been ever yet attained. He then retraced his steps
to.the Ueda, which he hrought-homo and. paid, off at
Deptford Nev. 1, 1827. On the following .day.
he resumed his duties as Hydrographer, to the Ad-
miralty, where he remained nee! May 13; 1829, a.
fortnight prior to which he had r ceiced the honour Of
knighthood. He was subsequently emPloyed, from 1829
until 1834, as Commissioner to the Australian Company
in New South Wales; from March 7, 1835, until Feb. 3,
1836, as assistant poor-law commissioner in the county
of Norfolk; and, from April 19, 1837, until December,
1846, as comptroller of the deem department of the
navy. He has tilled, since the latter date, the post of
captain-superintendent of the Royal. Hospital at Hasler."
The Duke las been t qually just in his selection of
the second recipient of thecaptains' good service pen-
aloe, for Captain Itichardsis -well known, not only to
be one of the best ands inlat actiie-ofifeartin the navy,
but his career as a captain has given him a prominent
claim ao reward for distinguished cervices. We have
looked carefully down'the active list, and scanned the
servleee of each officer, and we must say we eannot.aee
how, with any degree of justice, Captain Richirds could
have been passed over. It will be seen that be has been
54 years in the navy, and during that time has sewed
ufleat 26 years. Since his last sea-goingebip, be has

1799 and 1500, he continued employed until May, 1802.

Richards. From November, 1802, until December,
1807, he served on the Home and Mediterranean sta-
mina, principally in the capacity of midshipman, in the
Culloden, 74. flag-ship of Rear-Admirals James Richard
Decree and George Campbell, Dreadnought and Prin-
cess Royal, g2's, both commanded by Captain Robert
Carthew Reyeold, Hercule, 74, Captain Hon. John Col-
ville, and Ocean, 98, flag-ship of Lord Colliugwood. On
the 12th of the menu, last mentioned he was made lieu-
tenant into the Repulse, 74, Captain Hon. Arthur Kaye
Legge, part of the force employed in the expedition to
Walcheren in. 1809; and he was subsequently appointed
Feb. 23 and May 4, 1811, to the Montagu, 74, Captain
John Halliday, and Revenge, of similar force, succes-
sive flag=ship at Cadiz, off Toulon, and in the Adriatic,
of hear-Admirals Honourable A. K. Legge and Sir
John Gore, to the latter of whom he became first
lieutenant. On the night of Nov. 8, 1813 having hand-
somely volunteered his bervices, Mr. Richards took com-
mand of the boats of the Revenge, and succeeded, with-
out a single casualty, in bringing out from the harbour
of Pulawos a felucca privateer carrying 49 men, 20 of
whom jumped overboard and effected their escape. In
the course of 1815, after seven months of half-pay to

1816, to the Queen Charlotte, 100, For his conduct as
first lieutenant of that ship, which bore the flag of
Lord Exmouth, at the bombardment of Algiers, where,
in the Queen Charlotte's barge, he boarded, and in ten
minutes set fire to a frigate, he was promoted to the rank
of commander, Sept. 16, 1816. On Oct. 20, 1826, Capt.
Richards obtained command of the Pelorus, 18, in
which vessel be continued on the Mediterranean
station until advanced to post-rank, Sept. 17, 1822.
His appointments have since been Dec. 19, 1831, to the
Asia, 84, bearing the flag of the present Sir William
Parker off Lisben, whence he returned in the summer of
1834; Nov. 1, 1835, for nearly two years, to the Volege,

17, 1845, to the Cornwallis, 72, and Hibernia, 104, flag-
ships of Sir William Parker, in the Medlterrau6ae.
While in the Cornwallis, which ship was paid eff at the
close of 1844, Captain likiheada bore a distinguished part
during the operations- on flirt coast of China, where he
served on shore in the attack on the enemy's entrecc`ird
camp on the heights of Segaon, and at the taking of
Chapoo, Woosuoir, Shanhae, and Chin-Kiang-Foo. At

MALTA, MAncia 4.—The Medusa goes out to-night
to bring on the mails of the Bth inst. from Marseilles,
and the Spiteful to tow the Ardent into port.
On leaving Malta on the 27th alt. she put back, having
broken a waterpipe, and it was fully expected she could
not reach Marseilles without damage. - -
The Banshee, with that portion of the outward mail
sent through France, arrived here on Sunday last, having
arrived from Marseilles in the short space of 57i hours.
The Ripon arrived on the 29th ult., atter a good pas-
sage, from Southampton, end proceeded onwards to
Alexandria on the following day. -
The Vengeance, 84, cud the Terrible steam-frigate
left port on the Ist inst. Their sudden departure was the
subjt ct of speculation, and the whereabouts being kept
a profound et cret serves to increase the wonder. Eng-
laud, however, is assigned to them by some, and Port
Mahon by othe rs.

The Albion and Bellerophon lino-of•battleships are
also ordered to get ready for sea. The former will have
her rudder hung on Salurday, and they will both get

MALTA, Fttn. 26.
"Her Majesty's ship Queen, at Malta, Feb, 17.
(General Memo. relative to the Collision between Trafalgar
and Albion.)
"Having received the report of Rear-Admiral Harvey and
the captain of the Superb. who were directed to inves?igate
the circumstances under which the Trafalgar came into col-
lision with the Albion on the evening of the 3 st ult., where
the latter ship, commanded by the senior officer then pm-
sent, was leading the weather column, and in the act of
reefing her low and wizen topsails, it appears that Lieute-
nant -, officer of the watch in charge of the Trafalgar,
in endeavouring to get that ship into her station astern of
the Albion, incautiously ordered her helm to be put up when
she was on the weather quarter of, and about three cables
lengths' distance from. the Albion and on finding that she
did not way oil', as he expected, the sAils we -e not thrown
aback or the helm righted until too late to prevent the col-
lision, although a light was displayed on the weather quarter
of the Albion to show her close proximity, and with proper
precautions contact might have been avoided. Blame is
therefore imputable to Lieutenant -- for his mismanage-
ment of her Majesty's ship when under his charge, and for
having omitted to send some person to acquaint his captain
of the near approach of the Trafalgar to the Albion. Had
Lieutenant --, who was officer of the watch in charge
of the Albion at the time, made sail more promptly the :
characterstheir
re-
spective
col-
lision might have been equally avoided. With due appre-
ciation, therefore. of the favourable testimony borne- - by
