The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis-
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due retard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five y,;ars—the retained halves; being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Slims arc assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor Is any charge .
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.'
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the bigness of Life Assurance In

TO THE L ADIE S.
The powerfal influence of the sun on the skin at this period
of the year calls for increased attention in preserving its delicacy and
beauty. The most pleasing and effectual specific for this desirable
object is
ROWL ANDS' K AL YDOR,
so deservedly established in Royal and Public favour and estimation.
Its application neutralizes the effects of atmosphere, and Induces
that healthy action of the microscopic vessels of the skin, by which
its delicacy and beauty are so essentially promoted. Freckles, Tan,
Spots, Pimples, and Discolorations fly before the application of the
MALI POI:, and give place to a healthy smoothness and transpa-
rency of complexion. Ladies travelling or taking out-door exercise
will find it to diffuse a grateful and refreshing feeling. In cases of
Sunburn, or Stings of Insects, its virtues have long been acknow-
ledged. Price 4s. 6d. and Ss 6d. per Bottle.
ROW-LANDS ➢IACASSAR OIL,

A delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation ; and as an Invi
=orator and beautifier beyond all precedent. Price 3s. 6J.-75.--

the Breath a delightful fragrance,

BLAIR'S GOITT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Front,

" 14th June, 1847.

"Six,—having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving ne benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed ; I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have sin,te recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much iiom gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention •f any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Genuine Medicine.

T° THE AUTUMN

Autumn ! I feel thy near aAiroach,
The summer soon will leave ;
While clouds and chilly airs encroach
Upon the shortening eve.

The lavender perfumes the breeze,
The swallow takes her flight,
And faded leaves forsake the trees,
While Phoebus dims his light.
Say, Autumn, say, for I would know,
What weather wilt thou bring,
Will stormy breezes coldly blow,
When songsters cease to sing?

But wherefore do I question thus
In this familiar rhyms?
Moses and Son will furnish us
Dress suited to the time.

Their Autumn stock will prove to be
The choicest ever sold ;
And just the articles for thee,
When sweeping winds blow cold.

Moses and Son, I found did well,
When last thy season came;
And clothes which now they have to sell,
Will prove they do the same.

Their Paletots and other dress
Will prove, when we have bought 'em,
The tack and skill of M. and S.
In making dress for Autumn.

" BLANCHE and LISETTE," the new Ballad
by the Author and Composer of" Jeannette and Jeannot."
Miss Poole introduced anew Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Glover;
it is an excellent song, and was well sung. Some three years ago
we predicted success for the famous " Conscript Songs ;" we were
right: wherever the English language is spoken there the " Jean-
nette" songs are sung, and we expect that the same good fortune
awaits " Blanche and Lisette," for the melody is extremely pretty,
quaint, and original, and the poetry has that " touch of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Poet free, 2s

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL THOMAS HUNTER
BLAIR, C.B.—We have to record the demise of this gal-
lant officer, who expired on Friday morning last, at
Leamington Spa, to which watering-place he had resorted
for the benefit of health. His wife, and Lady David
Blair, Colonel and Mrs. Blair, were with the gallant de-
ceased at his dissolution. The deceased was sixth son
of Sir James Hunter Blair, Bart., and brother of Sir
David Hunter Blair, Bart., and entered the army in 1802.
He served in the Peninsula, from August 1808 to January
the following year, and was present and took part in
the gallant affair of Obidos, the battles of Roleia and
Vimiera, the action at Lugo, and in the disastrous re-
treat and battle of Corunna. He was not long in Eng •
lead before he was again called with his regiment to
Portugal, and assisted at the capture of Oporto—took
part in the affair at Salamonde, and the battle of Tala-
vera, when he was severely wounded, and while in
hospital made prisoner by the French, and was detained
in It until the peace of 1814. The return of Na-
poleon from Elba, leading to the campaign of 1815, he
was again required to proceed on active duty to the
Continent, and shared the honours of the glorious battle
of Waterloo, where ho was seriously wounded. The
gallant General subsequently proceeded to India, whore
he remained several years and served with distinction
during the Burmese war, under General Archibald
Campbell, commanding a brigade in Ava, and eminently
distinguished himself at the taking of Melloou. Oa
leaving India he retired on half-pay. He was a com•
panion of the Order of the Bath.
A preliminary meeting of a few gentlemen con-
nected with the Whig party was held on Wednesday, in
the Red Lion Hotel, Berwick-upon-Tweed, when it was
agreed to invite Sir George Grey, Bart., to a public
dinner; and Mr. Donaldson Selby, of Cheswick, was ap
pointed to wait oil the Right Honourable Baronet to as. i
certain on what day t would be most convenient for him
to heepresent. Sensible people ask what the Greys
be
for Berwick-upon-Tweed that they should
e entertained is the wlly proposed.—Newcastle Journal.

THE EXPOSITION OF ARTS AND
MANUFACTURES.
BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 3.—The great exhibition of
the manufactures of Birmingham and the midland
counties was opened here to-day. The exposition is
made in a temporary but spacious and excellently
' contrived building of immense dimensions, in the
grounds of Bingley:house, Brosd-street, which, upon
entrance, not less than upon minute examination,
presents one of the most magnificent scenes, as well
as interesting details of art, ever be`ore witnessed in
this country. The idea of " opening" during the
festival week, as a matter of business, was a happy
one ; it serves the double purpose of gratifying the
taste of musical visitors—if any of them are possessed
of taste for art in connexion with useful manufactures
—while it will considerably add to the éclat and re-
sources of the meetings of the British Association.
It is obvious that a review of the splendid works ex-
hibited, seeing that it would be more appropriate
during the meeting of the association, would be
somewhat premature. As it is desirable, however,
that the public should be made acquainted with the
rich and interesting treat in store, the following sum-
mary from the Midland Counties Herald may not be
unacceptable :
"First, then, in metal work, because of primary
importance to Birmingham, the chief contributors are
Messrs. Messenger and Sons, R. W. Winfield, Salt,
and Lloyd, William Potts, Gray, Martin, and Gray,
John Hardman and Co. These firms send specimens
of their manufactures in bronze, brass, and iron, and
the display will be of such a character as to do honour
to the spirit and talent both of manufacturers and
artizans. Stuart, Smith, and CO., of Sheffield, send
excellent specimens of 'their bright polished stove
grates ; and W. Marsh, of Dudley, contributes largely
in the same department; as do Johnson, Cammell,
and Co., and Hoole, and Co., also of Sheffield ; and
-Yates and Co., Rotherham. In other articles in the
metal trade, Messrs. Stock and Son, and Thomas
Dowler, of Birmingham, and the Patent Shaft and
Axle Company, Wednesbury, exhibit specimens of
their respective manufactures ; and in tin goods,
Thomas Griffiths, Birmingham, and Shoolbred and
Co., Wolverhampton. The Battery and Metal Com-
pany contribute an interesting series of examples
illustrative of the ductility of copper in the manufac-
ture of kitchen utensils. In papier macll6, a manufac-
ture which all our continental rivals have yet to
learn, Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge, M`Cal-
lum and Hodson, Thomas Farmer, Footherape,
Showell and Co., C. P. Harris, R. Turley, Charles
Pitt, and others, of Birmingham, and F. Walton, of
Wolverhampton, are the chief contributors, and the
display will be a magnificent one. In glass, F. and
C. Osier contribute some splendid specimens of chan-
deliers, and candelabra, and other branches of the
same material will find representations in the articles
exhibited by W. and T. Richardson, of Stourbridge,
Bacchus and Son, Lloyd and Summerfield, and Rice
Harris, of Birmingham, and the Patent Decorative
Glass Company, London ; whilst in stained glass
Messrs. William Chance and Sons, of West Brom-
wich, and John Hardman and Co., of Birmingham,
will make a most interesting display. In buttons
there are some highly novel and beautiful specimens
from William Elliot, Hardman and Iliffe, and Smith
and Kemp, of Birmingham ; whilst the medal de-
partment of the art of die-sinking will be fully ex-
hibited by Allen and Moore, Hardman and Iliffe,
and Edwards and Ball. In porcelain, Messrs. W. T.
Copeland and Co., Minton and Co., Wedge wood and
Co., and Ridgeway and Co., of the Staffordshire pot-
teries, all exhibit the highest and best specimens of
the products of their respective houses; whilst
Worcester is fairly represented by the con-
tributions of Messrs. Chamberlain and Co., and H.
Grainger, whose new material of semi-porcelain will
not form the least interesting feature of a display,
which, as a whole, will certainly be the finest of its
kind ever seen in this country since Wedgewood fairly
established the pottery trade. In textile fabrics,
which in all probability will be less adequately
represented than any other department of manufac-
tures, there will be found a few choice specimens of
Spitalfields silk, from Mr. Isaac Boyd, of Spital-
square, London ; Utrecht, and other stamped velvets,
from :Bennett's, of Manchester, and the cotton print
trade in garments will be partially illustrated by
the Strines Company, of Derbyshire and Manchester,
,'Naughton and Potter, and Dalglish, Falconer and
Co., also of Manchester ; and the furniture cottons
by Swainson and Dennys, of London. In miscella-
neous contributions there will be articles of great
merit from the Patent machine Carving Company
(Jordan's), London ; ornamental sawing, by Prosser
and lisidley; carpets and rugs, from various Kidder-
minster houses; specimens of that material for
making everything—gutta percha. Nor must it be
forgotten that Mr. Collett contributes some magnifi-
cent specimens of silver plate, and Messrs. Elkington
also fill a large glass case with electro-plated goods.
These latter ought to have been named much sooner,
but the multiplicity of excellent articles claiming
attention renders it impossible to pat everything
exactly in its true position."

BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.—This great periodical
festival commences to-morrow (Tuesday), and will
continue until Friday. The rehearsals have been
going on regularly for some time past, and there is
every reason to believe that on the present occasion
the high musical reputation of this triennial celebra-
tion will be fully sustained. Although the programme
does not present, as has been the case at some former
festivals, any very important musical novelty, on the
other hand, the present year's performances will be
remarkable for the extraordinary array of vocal and
instrumental talent which the directors have been
enabled to collect together. The principal singers
are Sontag, Alboni, Catherine Hayes, Castellan, De
Merle, M. and A. Williams, Jetty de Treffz, Mario,
Lablache, Pischek, Sims Reeves, Calzolari, F. La-
blache, Machin, and T. Williams. The instrumental
solo players are Thalberg, Sainton, and Bottesini. The
principal organists are Dr. Wesley, Mr. Stimpson,
Mr. Simms, and Mr. E. Chipp. The whole musical
arrangements are under the direction of Mr. Costa.
The band comprises the most distinguished artists of
the day, and the chorus is very numerous. Together
they will comprise nearly five hundred performers,
vocal and instrumental.

As we have already said, there is nothing particu-
larly new in the selection to be given. On Tuesday
morning the Elijah will constitute the attraction.
On Wednesday morning the lyrics to Racine's Athalie,
with Mendelssohn's music, will be given. When this
work was first produced in this country, at the Phil-
harmonic Concerts last season, it failed to interest the
audience. Subsequently re-produced at Exeter-hall,
with some important additions, it was more success-
ful. It remains to be .seen whether the highly mu-
sical audiences usually attending the Birmingham
Festival will prove more impressionable than those of
the Philharmonic and Sacred Harmonic Societies of
the metropolis. The Athalie will be followed by a
selection of sacred music from works of Mendelssohn,
Handel, Pergolesi, Cherubini, Rossini, Haydn, and
Mozart. On Thursday morning the Messiah will
form the staple of the entertainment ; and on Friday
morning the sacred performances will terminate with
the _lsrael in Egypt and a miscellaneous selection.
Besides these morning concert=, there is to be a series
of evening concerts, each consisting of a selection of
miscellaneous music by the most popular composers,
chiefly the favourites of the concert room. These
will employ the talents of the chief vocalists above
enumerated. On Tuesday evening Beethoven's Pas-
toral Symphony will be played, and on Wednesday
Mendelssohn's Symphony in A Minor. On Thurs-
day evening Beethoven's Symphony in C Minor com-
mences the selection. The whole of the proceedings
will conclude on Friday evening with a grand full-
dress ball.

As usual in the Festival week, strangers are pour-
ing into the town. All the hotels and lodging. houses
are crowded ; and the most exorbitant prices are asked
for accommodation.

NOVEL MODE OF POACHING.—During' the end of
the past month and the beginning of the present, a novel
and most destructive mode of poaching has been carried
on in the upper districts of the. county of Banff'. The
parties engaged generally go in bands of three, and
proceed in the following fashion:—They have with them
a pointer, and a large net some thirty yards square.
Immediately on the dog setting, two of the parties ad-
vance by a circuitous route to about thirty yards distant
from the spot where the dog stands, and spread out the
net, bringing it gradually up towards the dog. The
third individual meanwhile pushes the dog forward, and
by this means the covey is raised, but the birds only rise
to be caught in the meshes of the net, where a blow with
a stick terminates their existence. In this way, we un-
derstand, largo quantities of game have been netted, and
sent on to the London market. This process is, of
course, very destructive to the game, and we learn that
the proprietors have offered a reward for the apprehen-
sion of the depredators.—Banfislizre Journal
GLASGOW, SEPT. I.—COTTON MARKET --In the
early part of the week the demand for cotton was
limited, but towards the close it assumed a firmer tone,
partly in consequence of the favourable news per the
Overland mail. The stock of cotton at present in port
is about 63 009 bales, against 50,000 at same time lass

CANADA.

The subjoined telegraphic dispatches will amply
show the prevalence of turbulence and discontent at
Montreal :

TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES FROM CANADA.

BY THE MONTREAL AND BUFFALO TELEGRAPHS.

MONTREAL, AUG. 14.—The garrison has been under
arms all day. Rumour ascribes it to three things,
namely, the making of the intended arrests, departure
of the Governor-General, and entrance into Montreal
of the mounted police. I think it most probable that
it is fur the arrests that all this rumpus has been made.
It is certain, however, that soma hidden move:nent on
the part of the authorities is in the course of maturing.
An announcement has been issued by the Britons'
Club to hold themselves in readiness for any emer-
gencies that may arise.
INLojor-General Rowan has arrived in town from
the Caledonia Springs. The garrison is under arms,
and the guards doubled on all the public buildings.
The Government have commenced making the long-
announced arrests. I therefore expect shortly to have
to inform you of some serious rioting.
AUGUST 15, r.M.—There has been considerable
excitement in the city since I last telegraphed you,
and five persons have been arrested for arson. Their
names are Cooke, Orr, Dier, Ewing, and Courtney,
all of whom were bailed with the exception of
Courtney. There are other warrants out, and some
parties have left the city. The excitement is very
great, though I think we shall enjoy a quiet night.
MONTREAL, AUG. 16.—Last night about thirty
persons went into Lafontaine's house, broke open the
gates, and entered the garden. A number of shots
were fired by the persons in the house, said to be a
body of mounted police. A man named Mason was
shot, ten slugs entering his body, killing him almost
instantly_ A number of others are said to have b-en
wounded. A coroner's jury was empannolled this
afternoon, and then adjourned over till to-morrow.
Several more arrests have been made. Another riot
is anticipated to morrow.
A serious riot occurred last night, consequent upon
the arrest of several of the British in the early part of
the day. About nine o'clock a crowd assembled opposite
Orr's Hotel, Notre Dame-street. About ten o'clock
the crowd divided, one body remaining in Notre
Dame-street, and the other, to the number of 300,
proceeded to attack Mr. Lafontaine's house, demolish-.
ing the gate. The rioters upon coming in front, of
the building were fired upon, and one man, of the
name of Mason, received ten slugs in his body. This
man died at an early hour this morning.
It is expected that serious disturbances will ensue
in consequence. Tl:e military was called out, and
paraded the streets the remainder of the night. A
barricade was erected in St. Gabriel-street, but was
soon taken by the troops, as the mob, having no arms,
did not resist.

MONTREAL, AUG. 17, P.M.—The following are the
particulars of the riot last evening. About thirty
persons went to Lafontaine's house, broke the gates
and entered into the garden, throwing stones, &c.
Many shots were fired by persons in the house, who
were said to be mounted policemen in disguise.
Mason was shot with ten slugs, and died at six o'clock.
Some others were supposed to be wounded.
A jury was empannelled to-day, but adjourned. until
to• morrow.

The funeral of Mason takes place to-morrow, when
I fear there will be more disturbances.

Lafontaine was at home during the firing from his
house.

Two more persons, named Howard and Jamerson,
have been arrested.
There have been three deaths from cholera in this
city during the past twentv-four hours.
LARGE FIRE IN MONTREAL—MORE
RIOTING.

MONTREAL, AUG. 17.—About midnight Donne-
gana's extensive hotel took fire, and is now a heap of
ruins. The inmates had barely time to escape, and a
number lost all they had. One of the firemen was
accidentally killed. It is supposed the fire originated
through negligence. Loss 35,000 dolls., insured for
14,000 dolls., of which 2,000 dolls, was in the Etna
Company.
A number of rows took place last night; lamps
were broken, and sham barricades thrown up, though
no great mischief was done.

The jury in the case of Mason, who was murdered
in the recent riots, have adjourned.
MONTREAL, AuG. 18.—The inquest on Mason, who
was shot at the row last week, has adjourned, a
French juryman having absented himself. Lafontai9e
was called_kla to-give grace on his subpoena, but as
he did not-answer a wart—an Twas issued for his arrest.
The funeral of Mason took place to-day, and was
attended by nearly one thousand persons. The coffin
was clothed in red, as were also the mourners. The
principal stores were closed.
Last night several rows occurred, especially with
the horse police, who fired on the people and then
went on board a steamer and crossed the river, where
they now remain.
Four houses in Notre Dame-street caught fire by
accident last evening and were destroyed. They
were insured for 3301. in the Etna-office.

Courtnay, who was arrested last week on a charge
of arson, in setting fire to the Parliament buildings.
has been bailed by the judges, who say the evidence
against him is very slight.
A muusr 20.—This morning the inquest on Mason
again assembled. Mr. Lafontaine was on the point
of giving his evidence, when an alarm of fire was
given. Mr. Lafontaine was secured by the troops
and taken to the Government House. The fire is
supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Things
have come to such a state that a toss up of a straw
may produce a revolution,
The Ministry is supposed to have split with the
military, and intend resigning.
An officer, who arrived in town on Friday night,
immediately left for Monklands. It is said he is the
bearer of important dispatches.

ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN' FROM
NEW YORK, AT SOUTHAMPTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 3.—The Ocean Steam
Navigation Company's steam-ship Hermann, com-
manded by Captain Crabtree, from New York, ar-
rived at Cowes soon after four o'clock P.M. with
mails for France, England, and Bremen. She had a
full valuable cargo of general merchandise, with
specie to the amount of 45,000 dollars. After trans-
ferring her mails on board a small steamer awaiting
her arrival, she at once proceeded to Bremen. The
Hermann left New York on the 20th ult., conse-
quently the news from America by her has
,been
forestalled by the arrival of the steamer at Liverpool,
which left two days after.

ILLEGAL MEDICAL PEACTITIONERS.—A case was
on Wednesday last tried at Hungerford before the County
Court of Berkshire, in which a person named Bishop,
who resides at Ramsbury, in Wiltshire, was charged by
the Apothecaries' Company with practising as an apo •
thecary without being legally qualified. Mr. W. H.
Rowland, who appeared for the plaintiffs, stated the
nature of the case, and explained that the action was
brought under the 55th of Geo. 111., chap. 194, com-
monly called the Apothecaries' Act, by which it is
provided that it shall not be lawful for any person or
persons (except persons then in the practice as such) to
practise as an apothecary in any part of England or
Wales, unless he has passed his examination and re-
ceived a certificate of his being duly qualified. He then
adduced evidence to prove that Bishop, who possessed
no certificate, had acted as an apothecary, and furnished
medicines for the use of a man named Henry Bagman,
who subsequently died. Mr. Astley, for the defence,
endeavoured to show that the evidence had failed in
proving the charge, and raised some technical objec•
tions, which were overruled by the Court. He denied
that there was any proof of his client, who was a very
respectable man, practising at Ramsbury as a physician
and chemist, having compounded the medicine. The
jury, however, brought in a verdict for the plaintiffs
for 201., the amount claimed. This is said to be the first
case of the kind which has been tried on the merits.

AN EVENTFUL LlFE.—Died on the 21st of July, at
St. Stephen's, New Brunswick, aged 111 years. Mrs.
Elizabeth Dodd. Deceased was born on board a British
ship of the line, in the Bay of Biscay; cradled on the
broad Atlantic. Her father having been killed while
fighting for George 1., she was cast an orphan on the
shores of New York; thence carried to St. Augustine.
After her marriage she settled on the banks of the Ala-
bama. On the outbreak of the war between France,
Spain, and England, she, with other British settlers, were
made prisoners and taken to New Orleans. After two
years she was transferred to the Spaniards and taken to
the castle at Vera Cruz, where she remained until its
capture by the British in 1761. She was then relieved,
and taken to New York. During the first American
war she followed her husband through the principal
campaigns, and was at the hard-fought battles at Mon-
mouth, White Plains, Yorktown, &c. At the close of
the war, in 1784, she went with the Loyalists to the pro-
vince where she died. _

IMPORTATION OP NUNS.—A party of nuns passed
through Greenock on Saturday on their way from Dub-
lin to Glasgow. They were dressed in long black cloaks
with tippets, black bonnets and crape veils, and each
wore around her face a white cloth resembling a bandage,
covering most of the brow, cheeks, and chin. They were
generally middle aged persons, but one or two were
young. They were escorted by a priest. Icy passing
through the railway office, and to the carriage, they
walked in single file, and, though eight in number,
crowded together in a single compartment of a first-class
carriage.— Witness.

RAIL WAY INTE LLIGENCE.
_ EASTERN COUNTIES.

The adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company
was held at the London Tavern, yesterday afternoon,
to receive the result of the poll on the amendment for
omitting all that portion of the report relative to the
Norfolk Amalgamation. At a quarter past four
o'clock Mr. Glyn took the chair (in the absence of
Mr. Betts, who was stated to be seriously ill).
The CHAIRMAN having stated that all he had to do
was to receive the report of the scrutineers.
Mr. CoLus and Mr. WILSON contended that, being
an adjourned general meeting, they could go into
any business they thought fit.
Mr. DUNCAN, the solicitor, decided that no other
business could be gone into than the receiving the
report of the scrutineers on the amendment.
After some vain attempts by Mr. Box and one or
two other dissentient shareholders, to get up a dis-
cussion, which was put down by the Chairman,
Mr. Horns, one of the scrutineers, read the report,
to the effect that, for the adoption of the report there
had Wed 137 shareholders with 4,230 votes and
305,1501. stock; and for the amendment, 31 share-
holders with 826 votes and 49,020/ stock.

The result was received with loud cheers, and the
meeting separated.

stated inter alia, that the -state of the funds of the
company would not justify this directors in declar''''?
a dividend for the present, which was the' first half-
year of the existence of the line. However, from the
hitherto steadily increasing nature of the traffic the
directors were still sanguine as to its future value,
besides the goods traffic might he considered as little
else than begun, whilst hitherto the passenger traffic
had been local, a circumstance which would soon give
way on the opening of the Aberdeen line, when it
would receive an important augmentation of a through
traffic.

The report was adopted, and thanks being voted to
the chairman, the meeting separated.

SCOTTISH CENTRAL.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday, in the Town Hall, Perth; Lord Duncan
presided.

The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceed

Mr. KER, the secretary read the report, which
stated that the directors had called the meeting in
accordance with the terms of the Act, which directed
that the half-yearly meetings of the company be held
in February and August. In consequence of the
working contract entered into with the southern
companies, under which the Central Railway was
worked, it had become necessary to change those
periods to the months of April and October, in order
to afford time sufficient for adjusting the company's
accounts with its proprietors subsequently to the 15th
of March and the 15th of September, at which time
severally the settlement of accounts will take place
with the southern companies. It was therefore pro-
posed to the meeting that, in place of the months of
February and August, the periods of holding the
meetings of the company should in future be April
and October, and that the present meeting
should stand adjourned to Wednesday, the 10th of
October.
After a short conversation,
On the motion of the CLIAIRMAN, seconded by Mr.
JOHNSON, the meeting was adjourned till the 10th of
October ilex:.

OPENING OF A PORTION OF THE GREAT NORTHERN
RAILWAY.—The opening for traffic of the portion of
this line from Doncaster to Retford, in conjunction
with the East Lincolnshire Railways, takes place to-
day. This opens a line to Leeds and York on the one
hand, and to London on the other. The Great
Northern commences about five miles beyond Don-
caster, where it forms a junction with the Askern
branch of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole, and
thus forms a ready access to the West Riding of
Yorkshire, and also to Lancashire and the manufac-
turing districts generally. The portion of the line
:which is this day to be opened from Doncaster, in
continuation of those five miles already opened, is a
part of the main trunk of the Great Northern, and is
about eighteen miles in length. It will, for the first
time, open a direct communication by railway between
Doncaster and the metropolis. Leaving the station
at Doncaster (which is oaly a temporary erection),
the line passes by the union workhouse and the
proposed junction of the South Yorkshire line,
and then crosses a large district of land called Potte-
rick Carr. Here is a wide and expansive view of the sur-
rounding country, including St Catherine's-hall, Wad-
worth, and several villages and gentlemen's seats,
embracing Tickhill Castle and Church, some exten-
sive woods, and a fine district of country. The line
then crosses the river Torne, and then reaches the
village of Rossington, where a station is built. Here
is a gradient of one in a hundred and ninety-eight, as
the line proceeds to a place called Piper-wood, where
may be seen the grounds and mansion of Shooter's-
hill. At King's-wood, about a mile from Bawtry, is
a massy bridge, the rail proceeding under what was
formerly called the Great North-road, once so famous
for the number of mails and other coaches plying
from London to the north. The line next approaches
Bawtry, a small market town, just skirting upon the
county of Nottingham. And here the passenger has
a pleasing view of some varied and beautiful scenery,
embracing parts of the three counties of York, Not-
tingham, and Lincoln. There are two or three viaducts
over the river Idle; and the line passes Scrooby village,
Ranakill (where there is a station), Serlby hall, the
residence of Lord Galway, the domains of R. P.
Milnes, Esq., and of the Hon. Bridgman Simpson,
until it reaches the station at Retford. There is for
the present the terminus of the Great Northern, but
a junction is formed at Retford with the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway; and passengers
are conveyed to Gainsborough, Lincoln, Boston,
Peterborough, and so on, by the Eastern Counties or
the London and North-Western to London, thus
forming a most convenient and ready means of con-
veyance from the northern parts of the country to the
metropolis. There are six trains each way to and
from Doncaster and Retford ; and it is very probable
that in a day or two some alterations will be made,
so as to cause a greater facility between London and
Doncaster—the annual races at the latter place com-
mencing next week.
YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICIL—The direc-
tors of this company have just made some important
reductions in their fares, to the effect that the first-
class fares between York and Newcastle, by all trains
except express, shall be reduced one-fifth part ; and by
' the express one-tenth part of the previous charges.
Return tickets are to be issued by certain trains at one
fare and a half; as well as by market trains.
LANCASTER AND PRESTON.—This company having
ceased to work their line, under the terms of their
lease to the Lancaster and Carlise, all their locomotive
engines, tenders, carriages, and materials are about to
be sold by auction.
NIGH LEVEL BRIDGE OVER THE TYNE.—The de-
flection perceptible from the weight of a train of 200
tons on the newly-opened structure does not exceed
three-tenths of an inch, the weight being a much
greater one than the bridge will ever be required to
bear.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—We understand
that the directors of this company have just con-
cluded a contract for laying down a single line of
railway from Aberdeen to Inverness, for 784,000/.—
