SALMON.—The river Severn, in the vicinity of
Shrewsbury, has lately been a source of much profit to
those engaged in fishing. In addition to the large salmon
noticed this day fortnigh►, as having been taken therein,
several other fine fish have been subsequently caught, and
sold in the town at a somewhat less price than was before
stated.

Wednesday afternoon, between three and four
o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred to a man named
George Turner, aged 36, in the employ of Messrs. Sim-
mends and Co., coal-merchants, Lower Thames-street.
After having delivered some coals at Islington, he got
partially intoxicated, and rode on the shafts of the wag-
gon down St. John street, Clerkenwell. At the corner
of Percival-street the wheel of the waggon struck the
lamp-post; the sudden jerk threw him off the shaft, and
'he wheel went over his body. The bones of his face
were dreadfully manglvd. He was immediately conveyed
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in a dying state.

The annual general meeting of the Shareholders in
the above Company was yesterday held at the Com-
pany's Offices, 60, King William-street, City, at one
o'clock ; JAMES GOLDIE, Esq., in the Chair.

been read, Mr. BUTLER, in the absence of the Secre-
tary, at the request of the Chairman, read the Report,
which stated that J. A. Wilson, Esq., had been elected
Director, and that J. H. Stuart, Esq., and M. J.

they were in a great state of forwardness at present.
That they were about to enter into a contract for the
building of a purifying house. That -they were now
applying to the different Paving Commissioners for per-
mission to lay down their pipes, and suggesting that
advantage should be taken of this circumstance, to
enter into explanations regarding the Company, with a
view to induce individuals to become Sharksholders.
That, as yet, the Directors had not brought the Shares
before the public, but that they,. would be Ender the
necessity of doing so, unless ex-eftions -were made to
secure them in the locality. The Report concluded by
stating the sanguine expectations of success entertained
by the Diiectors, and congratulating the Shareholders
on the prospect.
The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to afford
any Gentlemen any information he might require with
regard to any matters contained in the Report.
Mr. Moan's said that with regard to the applications
made to the Paring Commissioners those applications
were necessary, because not even an Act of Parliament
could give them power to lay down their pipes without
leave of the Commissioners. Application had been
made to the Ratcliffe Commissioners on the subject, and
the existing Companies had canvassed them on the
subject, so that although they did not refuse to let them
lay down their pipes they
managed to get the question
adjourned until this Company should procure a requisi-
tion so numerously signed by the inhabitants of the dis-
trict as would warrant them in acceding to their re-
quest. Several of the Ratcliffe Commissioners were
Shareholders in the rival Companies ; but if public opi-
nion could be brought to bear on this he thought they
would not vote on a question affecting their private in-
terests in the way this did. The requisition had
already received upwards of six hundred signatures, and
he thought that before it was presented it would re-
ceive the signatures of ninety-six out of every
100 inhabitants of the district, and he did not think
that the Commissioners would act in opposition to such
a strong expression of the public opinion. He con-
cluded by urging the Shareholders to use their best ex-
ertions to promote the taking of shares.
The CHAIRMAN said that the shares already taken
had been almost entirely disposed of in the immediate
locality. There were only two of the Directors and
one of the Auditors who were not connected with the
locality.
Mr. BINGLEY was extremely desirous that the great
bulk of the Shareholders should be consumers.
The CHAIRMAN said, in reference to what had fallen
from Mr. Morris, be had applied to ese Shadavell Com-
missioners, and had been favourably received. The
subject had also been brought under the con-
sideration of the Mile-end Trust. The other Com-
panies had of course used their influence to
prevent their requisitions being complied with ;
but these attempts had been met by the Commissioners
in a fair spirit, and he did not doubt that they would
have justice done them. With regard to the Ratcliffe
Commissioners they met on the occasion in question in
much greater numbers than usual, and a considerable
portion of them were avowedly connected with the other
Companies. 1 hose Conanisioners had been appointed
solely for the public good, and their only duty was to
see that if they opened the pavements, they were in a
condition to close them again, and he could not suppose
that they would dare so far abuse their trust as to refuse
the request of the great mass of the inhabitants. They
had offered every guarantee that had ever been given on
the subject. They had offered to light the whole dis-
triet—lanes and back streets, in fact everywhere that
gas could by possibility be required.
Mr. GOODWIN asked if the Bethnal-green Commis-
sioners had yet been applied to.
The CHAIRMAN said that they had not yet applied to
the remote districts, but that all would be applied to
in time.

Mr. Gconw/N was glad to hear that they had deter-
mined to light the back s:rects, as well as the tho-
roughfares.
Mr. Mortals said a report hod been spread among
the Ratcl.fre Commissioners that it was not tlifir inten-
tion to light the back str.•ets.
The CIIAIIIMAN sail that it Lad been distinctly stated
to those gentlemen that the Company was willing to light
every back street, lane, or alley where gas could be re-
quired at a price less by 7s. Pd. than was now paid for

it. An atteiupt had been malt to involve them in a
general discussion as to the 'raking gas, he had
declined entering into. Ile had stated to the Commis-
sioners that all they asked was that they would afford
them the means of lighting the district ; that they were
a liJna file substantial Corop.iny, possessed of property,
and residing within the district, and therefore not to b.:
confounded with any speculative bubble Companies.
Several gentlemen corroborated this statement.
The CHAIRMAN said that one of the Directors
of the Badge Gas Company had sat at the Board
of the Commissioners. He animadverted on the
conduct of persons who pursue their private interests
under pretence of pur,ming the public good. In the
City the introduction of new Gas Companies was diffi-
cult, on account of the disturbance of the pavement in-
terfering with business, but such was not the case in
the Tower Hamlets, and he expected that very shortly
they would experience no difficulties of this de-
scription.

Mr. BINGLEY—Many of the inhabitants of the City
would be glad of the introduction of new Gas Com-
panies, if such a thing were possible, but the C9mmis-
sioners of Sewers were deeply interested in opposing it.
Mr. MORRIS urged the Shareholders to come forward
and enable the Directors to proceed rapidly with the
works. He did not wonder the Ratcliffe Company did
not like them, and as they should prove the destruction
of that Company, who, by their oppressive and shame-
ful conduct, were assisting instead of doi9gasteheoms.

their willingness to take additional shares, among whom

was,
Mr. BALDWIN, who moved that the Report be re-
ceived, which was seconded by Mr. Goward, and car-
riesi unanimously.
Mr. PILGRIM said he had received a letter from the
Clerk to the Commissioners of Shadwell, appointing the
early part of next week for a meeting, and he had
no doubt but everything would ba done to forward the
views of the Company. One gentleman had stated he
would take a hundred shares as soon as the roof was
on the retort house.
Mr. FRAMINGHAM moved that the thanks of the
Shareholders be given to the Directors for their skill and
energy in conducting- the affairs of the Company.
This motion was seconded by Mr GOODWIN and car-
ried unanitnously.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on the part of him-
self and his brother Directors.
Mr. LAMONT proposed a vote of thanks to the Com-
mittee, which was seconded by
Mr. WILSON, and carried unanimously,
Mr. BINGLEY on the part of the Committee returned
thanks, and to ik that opportunity
of expreg his de-
sire that the great bulk of Shareholders should be con-
sumers, so as to defeat monopoly, and secure a fair
competition in gas as in any other commodity.
• Mr. BINGLEY moved a vote of thanks to the Chair-
man, which was seconded by
Mr. Monals, and carried unanimously ; both gen-
tlemen passed a high eidognum on the Chairman, who
returned thanks, and tine meeting adjourned at three
o'clock to o,!tober next, the Chairman stating that he
would summon a general meeting of the Shareholders
before that time, should circumstances render it ex-
pedient.

TEA IN TARTARY.—Throughout the great
Tartirian district lying between the empires of Muscovy-
and China, tea is taken with an ardour and frequency
which must astonish even all European votaries of that
highly-valued leaf. In the kingdom of Koendoa nothing is
done without it, tea being hulled round at all times and
hours, and giving a character to conversation of the most
sociable and agreeable kind. The Usbees, who, above all,
are extravagantly attached to this beverage, drink it with
such delicate adjuncts as salt or fat, instead of sugar, inva-
riably exclude milk from the mixture, and when the pot
i has been duly drained by a party, divide the leaves, and
chew. them like tobacco.

AGENTLEMAN observed that Sir T. Turton must
be considered as a trustee, for he was recognized as one
by the Act of the Ist of George I V., cap. 10.
Mr. GREGORY, a member of the General Committee
of proprietors, then rose to congratulate the renters on
their brilliant prospect of success. He had been pre-
sent at a meeting of the proprietors on Saturday last at
Drury-lane Theatre, when a resolution was passed to
appoint a Committee to meet the renters, and endea-
vour to arrange affairs amicably. One thing he said
was certain—the eyes of the proprietors were opened at
last. They were tired of the present lessee, who he
thought would not be many days longer connected with
the theatre.--(Great applause.)
Captain CARPENTER bad no hesitation in saying
that the renters were grossly abused. They had wil-
lingly reduced their 25. 6d, to Is. 3d. per night, inde-
pendent of which they had subsequently relinquished no
less a sum than 25,8001. to secure their future regu-
lar payments ; and yet for the last three years they had
not received one penny.
Mr. WARING, in proposing the resolutions, referred
to the Act of Parliament. That of 1793 pointed out
their rights, and how those rights were secured to them ;
while the Ist George IV., c. 10, empowered them
through their trustees to demand their money nightly,
and, if not paid within three months, to proceed by dis-
tress to recover the same. He concluded by moving—
" That a committee of ten be appointed, and that the
renters be called on to advance, by way of loan, 11. en
every share ;" which was seconded by Major JOHNSON,
one of the trustees.

Mr. ARDEN, a brother of one of the sub-committee
of proprietors, opposed the proposed subscription.
Major JOHNSON (also' one of the trustees) answered
the of of the last speaker, and in an able manner
proved that the case was, not so bad as he imagined.
He at the same time called upon the-meeting not to be
lukewarm, but, to obtain a great right,'to he content to
sacrifice for a short time the sum required.
The resolutions were then adopted without a dissen-
tient voice, a Committee appointed, and every person
present (except two) paid their amount into the hands of
Mr. G. Robins, who was appointed treasurer.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and Mr. •
Carr, who severally returned thinks, and the meeting
adjourned to Monday, Masy 6, when it will again as-
semble to receive the report •f the Committee.

DIARY OF TUE lIEV. J. WARD.—We are
requested to state, that Mr. Colburn, of Great -Marlbo-
rough-street, has this day published " The Diary of the
Rev. J. Ward, A. M., Vicar of Stratford-upon-Avon, ex-
tending from 1648 to 1676, from the original MSS. in the
Library of the Medical Society of London, Edited by
Charles Severn, M D., Registrar to the Medical Society,"
in one vol. Bvo. bound. Mr. Colburn will also publish in
a few days, " Memoirs cf Sarah, Duchess cf Marlborough,
and of the Court and Times of Queen Anne. By the Au-
thor of The Life a Henry VIII." Two vols. Bvo.
lIER MAJESTY'S WISIIES.—A derable
sensation has been created in the Court and political
circles at Lady Bulwer's description in " Cheveley, or
the Man of Honour," of a singular event, which there cu
1):: doubt actually occurred, in reference to an illu,trious
just
after Lords M-I—c, D--h—m, and P—I—n,
after Lord D's return from a Northern mission. The
Premier it would seem, to carry his point, invented a
" Personal Wish," which he stated came from her Majesty
to the Earl. He was however so pressed by the searching
inquiries and cold bearing of the saturnine Lord, that be
took fright, and to set all right, galloped off to Windsor,
much perplexed, touching the " best method of making
her Majesty's wishes known to herself."
(ADVERTESEMENT.)-- THE BRITANNIA.—
This journal will he found superior to any weekly news-
paper ever yet published, both in the talent of its original
articles, and the variety and arrangement of its general
news. While made. as amusing as possible for the ge-
neral reader, everything i . scarefully excluded from its co-
lumns likely to prove injurious to the interests of morality
and religion. The second Number, published on Satur_
day next, will contain Probable Dissolution of the Mi-
nistry—Can the Conservatives carry on the Government ?
—Further particulars of the late Fracas at Court—Excul-
pation of Sir James Clark—All the Foreign, Domestic,
and Miscellaneous Intelligence of the week—" Familiar
Letters from the Canadas," No. o—Literary Contribu-
tions, by Mrs. S. C. Hall, Leman Rede, Esq., and other
eminent writers.. The Britannia is nearly the size of the
double Times, and the price is only Five-pence. As the
Office will not be open on Sundays, early orders to a news-
man should be given.--Office, corner of Bride-lane, Fleet-

THE AYRSHIRE HERNIIT.—On Thursday
Glasgow was honoured with a visit front Thomas
Ratburn, the Ayrshire Hermit, whose outre appear-
ance attracted, of course, a train of wonderirg
gazers. This singular personage has not shaved his
beard, cut or combed his hair, or changed his clothes during
s period of upwards of twenty years, having a " vow in
heaven" to that elf,:ct, in consequence of alleged injustice
done him in a lawsuit in which be was engaged. Thomas
says he is resolved to perpetrate this revenge upon him-
self till justice is done him by the laws of his coun-
try. At the period of the Queen's coronation this strange
character resolved to demand fron► her Maksty in person
that justice which he alleys was denied to him in the
Courts below, but while passing through Edinburgh, which
he had chosen as his route, his attention was arreeeed by
some friendly advisers, who sent him back again to his so-
litary retreat in Ayrshire. While on a visit to Glasgow
on Thursday, Thomas transacted business in the Royal
Bank, where, it is said, he has a cash account to the amount
of about 2,0001. _

On Wednesday evening an inquiry was gone into
before Mr. Higgs, at the George, Drury-court, on the
body of Eliza Payne Townsend, aged eleven years. It
appeared from the evidence of sewral witnesses that on
Thursday, the 12th inst., the deceased, while crossing the
road near Blackmoor-street, Drury-lane, was knocked down
by the horse in a gentleman's cab, the cab not passing over
her. She was taken into the shop of Mr. Walker, sur-
geon, of No. 101, Drury-lane, who on examination found
that the left ear was very much lacerated, and there was
also a severe laceration of the inside of the right thigh.
She,continued to go on well until Saturday last, when symp-
toms of a dangerous nature appeared, which terminated in
violent spasms and lock-jaw, and she died on Tuesday
morning. In answer to a question from a juror, Mr.
Walker said there was no cure for lock-jaw. Verdict—
" Accidental death," with a nominal deodand of Is. The
horse and cab Here the property of J. W. Empson, Esq.,
a gentleman stopping at the Union Hotel, Coekspur-street,
who has done everything in his power to alle‘inte the
misery of the deceased's family. No blame whatever was
attributable to him, the deceased having run completely
under the borse's feet.
BA LLOON TRAVELLING.—The Cheltenham
aron;cle tells us that the scientific gentlemen who accom-
panied Mr. Green in the Nassau balloon are now trying an
experiment preliminary to the establishment of a line of
balloons between Cheltenham and London, so as to super-
sede (if possible) every other mode of travelling 11
