The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
,he Company being prohibited, by the i4th 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 unon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard 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 p aid
for the first five years—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 aro granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are 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. OR 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 business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

T 0 THE L ADIE S.
The powerful 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
KALYDOR, 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 8s 6d. per Bottle.
ROWLANDS MACASSAR OIL,

A delightfully fragrant and transparent preparation; and as an invi-
gorator and beautifier beyond all precedent. Price 3s. 6d.-7s.—
Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size,

VILAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, ➢conk Bar,

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

" Sta,—llaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no 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 since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from 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, 3 ou 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. _ _

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

Soil 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 o THE AUTUMN.
Autumn ! I feel thy near approach,
The summer soon will leave ;
While clouds and chilly airs encroach
Upox the shortening eve.
The lavender perfumes the breeze,
The swallow takes her flight,
And faded leaves forsake the trees,
While nimbus 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 rhyme?
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 'ern,
The tack and skill of M. and S.
In snaking dress for Autumn.

Miss Poole introduced anew Ballad, "Blanche and Lisette," by Glover;

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 " toach of nature which
makes the whole world kin."—Post free, 2s.

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, Broad-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 berore 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 eclat 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, It. 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 mad* a manufac-
ture which all our continental rivals have yet to
learn, Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge, M`Cal-
lurn 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. Osler 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., Wedgewood 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,
M'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 Hadley; 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."

BIRIIIINGHAM 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
Meric, 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. Sampson,
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 Israel in Egypt and a miscellaneous selection.
Besides these morning concerts, 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-

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 or 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, large quantities of game have been netted, and
sent on to tho 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.--Bangshire Journal.
GLASGOW, SEPT. 1.--COTTON MARKET.-411 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 last
year. Pig Iron—There has not been any change in our
pig iron market during the week, and prices remain
nominally the same-445. 6d. for mixed numbers; 455.

done has been extremely limited.

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 for the arrests that all this rumpus has been made.
It is certain, however, that some hidden movement 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.
Major-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, ree.—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
Courtnay. 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 been
wounded. A coroner's jury was empannelled 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. The 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, r.rd.—The following are the
particulars of the riot last evening. About thirty
persons went to Lafontaine's house, broke the gates
and entered lily) the garden, throwing stones, &c.
Many shots wete 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 twenty-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, Aua. 18.—The inquest on Mason, who
was shot at the row last week, has adjourned, a
French juryman having absented himself. Lafontaine
was called on to give evidence on his subpoena, but as
he did not answer a warrant was 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.

Courtney, 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.
AUGUST 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 Monklaiids. It is said he is the
bearer of important dispatches.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
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. COLES and Mr. Winsorf 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. Hones, one of the scrutineers, read the report,
to the effect that, for the adoption of the report there
had voted 137 shareholders with 4,230 votes and
305,150/. stock; and for the amendment, 31 share-
holders with 826 votes and 49,0201. stock.
The result was received with loud cheers, and the
meeting separated.

SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Friday, at Perth; Mr. Stirling presided.
Mr. Knit, the secretary, read the report, which
stated inter alia, that the state of the funds of the
company would not justify the directors in declaring
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 be 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-
ings,
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-
nosed 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 CHAIRMAN, seconded by Mr.
JOHNSON, the meeting was adjourned till the 10th of
October next.

OPENING Or 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 li
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 hue
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 only 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, told 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,
Ranskill (where there is a station), Serlby Hall, the
residence of Lord Galway, the domains of R. P.
Mines, 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 BERWICK.—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.
HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE OVER TYE TYNE.—The de-
flection perceptible from the weight of a train of 200
tons on the newly-opened structure does not exceed
zhree-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 784,0001.—

COURT-MALI:I'IAL on COMMANDER

PITMAN.

TIIIRD DAY, AUG. the opening of the
Court this day, the President, Sir John Louis, stated
that there was no desire on the part of the
Court to prevent reporters from taking notes of the
proceedings, but the Court wished these notes not to
be published until the whole of the witnesses had
given their evidence. As yesterday, so to day, the
entire time was occupied in the cross-examination of
the master, Mr. Elliott, by the prisoner, Commander
Pitman. Many of the questions tended to criminate
the witness, who was excused by the Court from
answering them ; others were of no great importance,
only wearying the members of the Court and all
concerned, and several were merely repetitions of the
same questions a,ked in a different way. Regarding
the marine, White, who jumped overboard, the pri-
soner's questions tended to show that White was
threatened with prospective and not immediate
punishment. Witness, however, still persisted that
it was fear of instant flogging which caused the
suicide. On the production of the original order
book, witness was desired to point out any order
which he considered cruel, inconsistent, or severe. Ile
considered none severe, but some were inconsistent—
for instance, one dated Hong-Kong, December 16,
1846, when a positive order was inserted that no
officer should sleep out of the Childers; and another,
Hong-Kong, December 25, 1845, no officer to leave
while the ship was at single anchor, without permis-
sion, and then to return by 10 r.
After considerable loss of time to the Court, several
suitable orders for securing the comfort of the ship's
company were read by the Judge-Advocate.
Witness said that First Lieutenant Tremlett was
present when Commander Pitman threatened to take
Nutness s commission from him, for refusing to draw
a hammock cloth. On the request of particulars of
eases of oppression towards Mr. Elliott, he said they
were so numerous he could not give them all, but re.
ferred to two in which he had been publicly repri.
manded, the first for not giving exact chronometer
time ; and the second when piloting the ship by night
through the passage at Fisherman's Group. The
weather was thick and foggy, ship going over the
ground very fast, under all plain sail, except royals
and flying jib, water about five fathoms, cur•
rent at least four or five knots. To prevent destruc-
tion it was requisite to alter ship's course, when he
was reprimanded for not having first consulted Com-
mander Pitman, who was below. Another act of
severity was when witness was brought before the
Commander- in Chief in Chins, for having, eighteen
months previously, gone ashore from the Childers
without leave, and for being absent several days.
Prisoner produced a letter from Sir F. Collier, in
which Mr. Elliott was admonished to be more cir-
cumspect, but that no further notice need be taken
in consequence of the great exertions which he used
during the ship's perilous position at the Prate.
Shoals.

To Commander Pitman's questions on another
charge, Mr. Elliott said that when their ship struck
on the occasion referred to, he was not below through
intoxication, but had left the ship's deck because the
commander refused to adopt his advice with regard
to her being moved before the pinnace was sent to
sound the depth of water.
FOURTH DAY, AUG. 31.—Lieutenant Graham, the
prosecutor, and Mr. Elliott, the witness, complained
of the length of the cross•examination. Commander
Pitman requested, with consent of the prosecutors,
that as part of the evidence was in print, the publica-
tion might be continued ; but the Court determined
to adhere to their former decision.

Mr. Elliott was cross-examined by Lieutenant
Graham, the Court, and the prisoner, with regard to
the marines Haigh and White, the boy Cleverton,
the midshipmen's steward, Matthews, and the false
entries in the log. Matthews, the midshipmen's
steward, jumped overboard in the river Nimpoo.
The officers of the watch signed the log, knowing it
to be incorrect, within the knowledge of CommandPr
Pitman. The officers of the watch occasionally did
not sign the log. The fact of Whites jumping over-
board is so inserted in the log.
John James Smith, master's assistant, was serving
in the Childers when she ran on the Prata Shoals ;
the day previously he had, by reckoning, ascertained
the ships position to be within 50 miles of the shoals ;
had kept the log during the illness of Mr. Elliot, and
entered the ship's position the day before in pencil
(fearing at the time that it was incorrect), but
altered it the next day when the ship struck. lie
believed the entry as it now stands to be correct. It
was La Plata Island, 38 miles south, 50 west. The
first entry was incorrect, but he (witness) attributed
the vessel's getting on the Prata Shoals to the weather
and the ship not being under control. The subse-
quent entry was made after the ship struck. There
was another erasure in the log about the " force of the
wind on the 9th of October," which he had made at
the order of the commander, who, in his cabin, said
he should be sorry for any one to read the log and see
that the ship was in such a state, with the wind
blowing at only such a force. He then altered the
force of the wind from 7 to 10. Another erasure
occurred under the words " bearing" and " distance,"
28 being altered to 38. He did it himself, the cap-
tain having found an error in the work by a mistake
in taking the distance out of the traverse-table. Oa
the 9th of October Lieutenant Graham gave him a
copy on half a sheet of paper, and not on the slate.
The force of the wind, as altered, is correct. They.
had no observation for two class.
Commander Pitman examined witness relative to
his dismissal from the Childers, which took place on
the 10th of February, 1849, at the order of Sir F.
Collier, the Commander-in-Chief. Witness spoke to
the oppressive treatment he had received from Com-
mander Pitman, who placed him under arrest for
striking a second-class boy. The letter of the Com-
mander•in-Chief stated that he was to be discharged,
but Commander Pitman entered in the log and on his
pay-ticket that he was discharged from the service in
disgrace. Commander Pitman, in this instance,
exceeded his instructions, added to which he at one
time recommended his messmates to turn him out of
the mess, which they, however, did not do.

TUE WEATHER AND HARVEST.—Last week the
weather has been very variable—ono day cold and
threatening frost, and another bright sunshine and oc-
casional heavy showers of rain, which beat down the
crops where these were heavy. Although several fields
of barley and oats have been cut down, harvest opera-
tions will not be general till next week. The wheat
crop will be about a fortnight later than the others, but
it promises to be very abutdant. There are, however,
complaints of smut and honeycomb being more than.
usually prevalent among the wheat, caused by the con-
tinued wet weather and the wa❑t of sunshine. The bar-
ley, bath in bulk and quality, will bo very fine; oats are
if anything rather short in the straw, and thin on the
ground. The turnip crop never looked better at this
period, and has no doubt been much benefited by the
showery- weather. The potato crop will also be heavy.
though about a month later in coming to maturity.
The disease of former years, which wo stated had
again appeared here some few weeks ago, does not seem
to be making much progress. In regard to the weather
in England, the Mark Lane Express states that it has
teen highly favourable for the harvest, and the grain.
crop is now out of danger. The yield will, it is now be-
lieved, be a good average. Yorkshire is rather late.
Reportsof the potato disease increase. The wheat trade has
been dull; barley is in demand, and good oats maintain.
their value.—Elgin Courant.
PRISON DISCIPLINE._On Thursday evening the

great length in opposition to the

Mr. J. Lillifant. Mr. Osborne argued that the system
recommended by Mr. Pearson would be expensive, in-
epioerrsootnrsiaci—omtmhaitttietdmfoardeshnoorptrovisloofor
stead of being economical—that it would not meet the

—that no adequate provision
was made for the preserva-
tion of silence, or to prevent the mixture of the prisoners
—that the system of labour proposed was impracticable
—and that, in short, the whole scheme was a phantom
and a delusion. The Rev. Gentleman then defended the
separate system, which he contended had proved more
successful than any other in accomplishing the grand
objects of efficiency and economy. The discussion was
ultimately adjourned till the following evening, when
several gentlemen delivered their opinions on the sub-
ject, and expressed a desire for further explanation from
Mr. Pearson with regard to particular parts of his
scheme. Mr. Pearson addressed the meeting at consi-
derable length, giving in further detail the nature of his
plan, and answering the objections taken to it by Mr.
Osborne. At the conclusion a vote of thanks were given
to Mr. Pearson, and also to Mr. Osborne, for their re-
spective addresses ; and the services of the Chairman
having likewise been similarly acknowledged, the meet-
ing separated.
The Bishop of Oxford met with an accident a few
days since, while visiting Baron Alderson at his seat near
Lowestoft. His Lordship was riding in company with
some friends, when his horse fell and rolled over the
Right Rev. Prelate. Fortunately his Lordship sustained
no serious injury, and was able to ditto out the 1141310 day.
