LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

The lamented death of the 'highly-respected Mr. Astell, whose
conduct (luring the protracted period of forty-seven years was
eminently calculated to preserve the best interests of this country
and promote the well-being of our Indian empire, having created a
Vacancy in the House List of the gentlemen now out by rotation, I
have the honour to intimate, in accordance with my former an-
nouncement, that it is my intention to proceed to the Da;lot to be
holden in the East India House on the 14th of Aran., and most
respectfully and earnestly to entreat your support.
The grounds upon which I solicit your favourable reception of my
pretensions to a seat in the direction of your affairs having been long
submitted to your consideration, it only remains for me to assure
you that should my efforts, aided by your influence, prove success-
ful, it shall be my constant and anxious desire and care to justify by
my conduct the good opinion and confidence of those by whose
suffrages I shall have been placed in that responsible situation.

I have the honour to remain,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient and faithful servant,
J. CAULFZILD, Major-General.

GRAND MASQUERADE.
In consequence of the distinguished patronage bestowed on the
Ital Masque of the 25th ult., the Proprietor of the above splendid
and aristocratic establishment begs to announce a second Grand
Masquerade Ball To-NIGHT, the 16th inst., by subscription. To
convey an idea in which this fete will be conducted, the following is
a brief outline : —The whole suite of the magnificent Saloons, acknow-
eged to be the most costly hi the world, will be thrown open on the
occasion, their massive decorations of burnished gold, rendered more
dazzlingly brilliant by the addition of myriads of light so arranged as
to produce the ettnt of a scene of perfect enchantment, equalled only
in the florid descriptions of the most fairy-like scenes, but in this
instance realized to the senses. The Band, considerably augmented,
w,ll perform the most Fashionable Quadrilles, Waltzes, and Polkas,
:end be conducted by Monsieur Dubreuil,—the acknowledged sum
rlority of the Band of this famed temple is proverbial. The wines
will be supplied in every variety, and of the choicest character.
"The nectar of old, quaff 'd by God's as we're told,
Asti dubh'd by the poet's divine ;
Is now called Champagne, and the reason is plain
Champagne's the divinest of wine.
To us mortals below, fit we should know,
Where this may be put to the test,
On the night of the masque, you've only to ask,
There's the choicest as well as the best."

The Supper will be proviued in the Lower aloons, and thrown
open at One o'clock precisely, profusely supplied with every con-
ceivable delicacy. No Pantomimic Character will be admitted, the
number of Subscribers will be limited, therefore early application is
solicited for Tickets, which may be had as tollows, 10s. (id. each :

[ARISS' PULAIONIC ClGARETTES.—Phy-
sicians have long discovered that in diseases of the lungs and
air passages, a remedy to be really efficacious must come in direct
contact with the diseased organ, and this cannot take place unless it
be administered under the form of vapour or smoke. The diseases
in which the Cigarettes have been found so beneficial are, difficulty
of breathing, tightness of the chest, spasmodic asthma, catarrhs,
hoarseness, sore throats, aphony (loss of voice), ear-aches, rheuma-
tism of the jaws, tooth-ache, neuralgia, &e. In the first stage of
consumption their beneficial effects are surprising, and in the ad.
vanced stages they relieve the cough, lessen the expectoration, check
the night perspiration, and produce calm and refreshing sleep.

RAILWAY BILLS.

REPORT of the COMMISSIONERS of RAILWAYS
on certain RAILWAY BILLS comprised in Groups
Nos. 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
By the first of the above Bills, the Ipawlch and Bury St.
Edmund's Railway Company are desirous to obtain powers
to construct a railway from a point on their present line near
Ipswich to Woodbridge, and to increase their capital by
200,0001., and to borrow 66,6661. for that purpose. This Bill
is comprised in Group 10.
By the second, the same company would obtain power to
construct a Branch Railway from Stowmarket to Sudbury,
and to raise 360,0001., and to borrow 120,0001. for that pur-
pose. This Bill is comprised in Group IL
By the third, to raise 350,000/., and to borrow 116,6661.
for the construction of a railway from Bury St. Edmund's to
Newmarket and Ely and by the fourth, to raise 180,0001.,
and to borrow 120,0001. for an Extension of their railway to
Thetford. The excess of amount proposed to be borrowed
beyond the proportion allowed by the standing orders, is
stated to have been an accidental error in preparing the Bill,
which it is the intention of the company to correct, by re-
ducing the amount to be borrowed from 120,000/. to 60,0001.
By the two Bills, therefore, comprised in Group 12 the com-
pany would be empowered to raise a capital of 530,000/.,
and to borrow 236,666/., or (should the Bill be corrected as
proposed) 176,666/.
By the fifth, it is proposed to raise 460,0001., and to
borrow 153,333/. for the purpose of making a railway
from the Norwich Extension Line to Yarmouth. This Bill
is comprised in Group 13.
By the sixth, it is proposed to raise 100,0001. and to borrow
33,3331., for the continuation of a railway from Aylsham to
North Walsh= ; and by the seventh, or last. to make a
railway from Norwich to join a railway from Dereham to
Wells, with a branch to Aylsham ; and to raise 500,000/.,
and to borrow 166,666/. for the purpose. By the two Bills,
therefore, comprised in Group 14 power is taken to raise a
capital of 600,000/., and to borrow 199,9991
By these Bills the Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company
proposes to obtain power to IncreaSt their capital by
2,150,0001., and to borrow 716,864/. (assuming the fourth of
the above-named Bills, on No. 3 in the Appendix, to be cor-
rected); and by another. Bill before Parliament, which will
be again alluded to in another report, they propose to obtain
power to amalgamate with the Eastern Union Railway
Company.
The Bury St. Edmund's Railway Company was incorpo-
rated by an Act passed in 1845, and by that Act was enabled
to raise a capital of 400,000/., and to borrow 133,3331. By
another Act, passed in the last session, the company was
further authorised to raise 550,0004, and to borrow 183,333/.
Under these two Acre power has been obtained to raise a
capital of 950,000/., and to borrow 316,666/., or to employ,
altogether, upon their works, 1,266,6661.
The share capital has been created by the issue of 16,000
shares of 251. each, under the Act of 1845, and by the issue of
22,000 of the same value, under the Act of last session. On
those first issued, calls to the extent of 14/. per share, or for
224,0001., have been made, and 204,305/. received. On the
shares last issued, 51. per shale, or 110,000/., have been called,
and 91,7071. 10s. received; the difference in each case being
the arrears in the payments on the calls. The whole amount
called up is therefore 334,0001.
No money has been borrowed under the Act of 1846, but
this power has been employed to its lull extent in the Act of
1845. The money has been borrowed at five per cent. in-
terest on debentures, varying in value from 1,0001. to 5,000/.,
but a few being of smaller value, A part of these securities,
to the amount of 61,943/., will expire in January, 1850,
2,000/. in 1851, 59,090/. in 1852, and the remainder in 1855.
The shareholders have authorised the directors to create new
shares for the payment of the loans.,
The company has at present power to call up 616,000/. on
the shares, and to borrow 18'3,3331., or to employ altogether
799,333/. on the works in progress, and this, it is stated,
will be fully required for them.
No nominal additions have been made to the capital of
this company; nor has it subscribed to any other company,
nor made any guarantee, nor bought, nor sold, nor taken
a lease of any other railway, nor amalgamated with any other
company ; but by the Act obtained in 1846, it has powers
either to sell or let the Ipswich and Bury St Edmund's Rail-
way to the Eastern Union Railway Company; and for an
amalgamation with that company, as before stated, a Bill is
now before Parliament.
The Chairman also of this company concluded, in
December, 1845, an agreement with the trustees of
the Stowmsrket Navigation, for a lease of the Naviga-
tion, and this agreement was confirmed by a general
meeting of the proprietors of the railway in January, 1846
Under that agreement it was arranged that each party should
apply to Parliament for powers to carry the agreement into
effect, and until these powers were obtained, it was
arranged, among other temporay provisions, that
the tolls of the Navigation should be regulated by
the railway company. In the last session the trustees
obtained power to let the Navigation, and also for the
lessees to exercise the provisions of the Navigation Acts;
but the railway company did not obtain, by any Act of
their own, the power to take the lease, although they in-
serted a clause for this purpose in their Bill of last session,
when originally introduced. It i-, however, considered by
the company that no further powers are necessary, and the
lease either has been, or is about to be concluded. The
Commissioners of Railways, in reporting this transaction to
the House of Commons, feel it to be their duty to call at-
tention to the circumstances under which this interference has
taken place with the tolls of a navigation by a railway
Company.
The subscription contracts for these Bills, deposited in
compliance with the standing orders, have no signatures
attached to them, except thov of 13 ASirectors of the corn-
pany. The amount of theme subscription contracts is
1,612.500/., so that each director has on an average signed for
124,0001. It is admitted that these directors have not signed
on their own account, but only on behalf of the company,
and with a distinct understanding among themselves that
they are never to be called upon for any portion of their sub-
scriptions, and that the proposed new works are not to pro-
ceed unless the funds can be procured from other sources. It
is also stated that the deposits required by the standing
orders were paid out ot the funds of the company.
The Commissioners have already, in their report on the Bills
of the South-Eastern Railway Cempany,remarked upon this
mode of proceeding as a manifest evasion of the intentions of
Parliament. and they have expressed their opinion that
means ought to be taken to put an end to such practices in
future. It will be for Parliament to determine how far the
adoption of a course which may be supposed to have received
the tacit permission of the House of Commons, should pre-
judice the promoters of a Bill, in any instance in which the
circumstances of the case afford a fair guarantee for the bond
fide character of the scheme, as well as for the completion of
the proposed works. The Commissioners, however, feel it to
be their duty to call the special attention of the House ot
Commons to the extent which in the present case this prac-
tice has been carried. The company were by their former
Acts empowered to raise a capital of 950,0001., and to borrow
316,666/. ; the% have at present actually raised 296,012/. las,
and borrowed 133,333/. The line from Ipswich to Bury was
only opened for passengers at Christmas last, and no other
part of the work being completed, they are unable to make a
declaration of surplus profits. Under these circumstances
they seek powers from Parliament in the present session to
raise an additional capital of 2,150,0004 and loans to the
amount of 716,664/., making together 2,866,6641., a sum
little short of ten times the amount of capital which the
shareholders have at present contributed towards the hitherto
incomplete undertaking authorised by their former Acts.
The only guarantee which they offer for the completion o
their new and more extensive :cherries is a subscription by
the directors themselves, for a sum which they state they
have subscribed solely on behalf of the comeann

This Bill is not promoted by the Newmarket and Chesterford
Company, and would not confer any powers for raising
money.
Under the two former Bills the Newmarket and Chester-
ford Railway Company would be enabled to raise an ad-
ditional cap
ital of 900,000 L, and to borrow 299,999 L, or to
apply a further sum of 1,199,9991. to railway undertakings.
This company was incorporated by an Act passed in the
last session of Parliament, and authorised to raise a capital
of 350,0001., and to borrow 116,6661. 13s. 4d.
The share capital has been created by the issue of 14,000
shares, of 251. each, on which a deposit of 2/. 12s. was paid;
and two calls, one of 2/. 85., the other of 51., have been made ;
the whole amount demanded from the shareholders being 10/.

in progress.
No nominal additions have been made to the capital
stock; no guarantee given to other companies; no leases,
sales, or purchases of other lines effected ; nor has the corn-

Each of the Bills for which the company has applied in
the present session contains a clause empowering the Eastern
Counties Railway Company cause empowering
a lease of the line to
which the Bill applies ; and by one of the Bills the same
company would be empowered to subscribe towards the un-
dertaking. But as the Eastern Counties Railway Company
have notified their desire that these clauses should bepy

IMMENSE DRAUGHT OF MACKEREL.--YeSterda,
(Thursday) morning, one of the Hastings Fishing Luggers,
which frequent this port during the season, enclosed
so large a quantity. of Mackerel, that in order to
prevent the nets being dragged away, the crew were
obliged to have the assistance of another boat. The
nets of which were placed so as to surround the others, and
by this means the two strings succeeded in securing upwards
of 40,000 Mackerel, besides a large number which escaped
prior to the assistance of the second boat. The fish realised
about 2001., being, to use the fishermen's words, a good
night's work.—Devonport Telegraph.

PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
SITTING OF MARCH 8.

M. C. Combes read a paper on the means of destroying
thoroughly or partially the iutluence of what he calls. the
espace nuisible in steam-engines. The espace nuisible is the
-pace which necessarily exists between the piston when it
arrives at the extremity of its curve, the bottom of the
cylinder, and the opening for the emission of the steam.
The space is always titled with steam at the same degree of
!onsion as that which exists in the portion of the tinder
-ituated on the same side wi.h relation to the piston. The
play proposed by M. Combes is to bt examined by a com-
mittee chargrd to make a report upon ir.

Flourenns made another conanunication relative to ex-
pe; intents on unloads with ether, but it dues nut add any loot
ut importance to what has already been stated.
N. Roux alto communicated the results ot some experi-
ments wiLh the inhalation cf c.her an patints. He states
that in s, me cases the patients I,:se the equilitgium ot ma-
lion without the slightest disturbarce of the inti:llect,
and that the sta,cation trout cuter ditle;.s from all other,
and pariicularly fr,:m that caused by Ow vapours of char-
coal, in which th,,, blood, completely deptived of its oxygen,
i 3 black, whereas, with all the persons whom be had
etherised, the arterial and venous blood retained the natural
c.lour. The blood, however, according to NM. Lenoir foil •
ietnier, and many other surgeons, has greater fluidity than
when in its normal state.
M. Jacques Cardan gave an account of some serious re-
sults from the administration of ether to femalts in a state of
pregnancy. He considers it highly improper to etherise
females when in this condition.

M. Bouchut made a statetaent rela:ive to the pretended
discovery of the means of ascertaining real front appareet
,ieath by burning. It has been asserted that if life be in the
body a bum of the st.cond degree will cause a blister to rise,
whereas no blister can be raised by this meats upon a corpse.
M. Bouchut states that he tried the experiment upon four
dead bodies, and produced blisters precisely similar to what
would have been raised by the same meats upon living sub-
jects. M. Bouchut thus confirms the experiments alreacy
made, and with similar results, by several other surgeons.
He proposes, as the best means of ascertaining whether life
be extinct or not, a prolonged ausculation of the region of
the heart; but he does not pretend that this alone is con-
clusive.

There were several other communications read at this sit-
ting, but they were not of a nature to interest the public.

WILFUL FIRE- RAISING.—An important case of
wilful fire-raising was brcught before the High Court of
Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday last, against John Adams,
stnallware dealer, &c., who occupied a shop at the Cross of
Glasgow, immediately adjoining the Cross Steeple. It ap-
peared that Adams had inured the goods in his shop for
4001., and within a few days after getting possession of the
policy he put the greater part of the goods away out of the
shop, and substquently suit them to Liverpool ; and upon
the very day that the goods were shipped for that port the
fire took place. Luckily, when it was discovered (which
was late on a Saturday night), Mr. Robertson, the superin-
tendent of fire-engines, who happened to be near the spot,
broke open the back-door, and got the fire immediately ex-
tingui-died, just in time to show the amount of goods in the
premises, which consisted principally of a few coarse cotton
goods strung on wires throughsut the whole premises. The
goods were traced to Liverpool and brought back ; and
Adams was committed for wilful fire-raising. Upon being
brought to trial on Monday last he pleaded guilty to the
minor charge of " attempt at wilful fire-raising," which the
Court accepted. The sentence was delayed from Monday
till Friday, in order that the judges might have time to con-
sult as to the amount of punishment to be awarded. Adams
was brought up yesterday morning, and, after a severe ad-
moni,ion from the judges, sentenced to seven years' trans-
portation —.Edinburgh. Paper of Saturday.
TIIE. LATE Mrt, WILLIAM CLowks.—The stuck
in trade and personal property of this very celebrated printer
has been valued at 90,0004 With the exception of a few '
bequests, viz., to his executors, and to hi- friend and old as-
sistant, Mr. D. Phipps, and to his servants, he disposes of the
whole of his property amongst his eight children in certain
proportions, and the residue equally amongst them. To his
sons, William and George, he leaves the business, stock, and
materials, the steam-engines and apparatus, printing ma-
chines and presses, type, machinery, and foundry, and the
premises both at Charing-cross and Dulte-street, Stamford-
street, the latter, perhaps, the largest of the kind in Europe;
and as a compensation to his son Edward tor not having a
share in the business, he leaves him 6,0001. and an annuity
of 4001. His private library of books he leaves to his sons,
Winchester and Edward, and daughter Ann. The plate to
his four daughters, for each of whom he has made a liberal ,
provision. He executed his will in December, 1845, and ap-
pointed as executors Mr. James Duncan, late of Paternoster-
row, and Mr. Daniel Nash, of 61, Strand, his son-in-law,
in conjunction with his sons, 1i non and George. The de-
ceased was in his 68th year, and was a native of Chichester,
in which town he served his apprenticeship to the trade;
upon its completion he came to London and started for him-
self; with limited means, and by unremitting attention and
perseverance raised those extensive establishments. It
was must appropriately termed of him, in -'the record of
his death, that he had Leen " the architect of his own for-
tune."

HOTEL AND TAVION-BEEPER:' PROVIDENT INSTI-
TUTIoN.—The eighth annual meeting of the members of the
above institution was held yesterday, at the Craven Hotel,
Strand. Mr. Clark, late Mayor of Windsor. having taken
the chair, the secretary read the report, which stated that
the large increase in the subscriptions and donations, during
*the past year, had now completed the sum required by the
rules of the institution, before giving temporary relief to its
members. The balance at the last audit was 6s. 7d.; the
subscriptioLs and donations amounted to 1,050/. Bs. 5d.; the
dividend to 1551. 15s. 6d. ; making a tatal of 1,2061. Bs. 6d.
The sum of 855/. 15s. had been invested during the past
year, which, addeu to the original funded capital, amounted
to 4,1761. 16s. lod. After oeductingexpenses, which amounted
to 100!. oe. 2d., thtre remained the sum of 238/. 3s. 2d. to be
funded; which sum completed the 5,000/. required before
they could commence giving temporary relief. The institu-
tion now consisted of 248 members, and 785 honorary mem-
bers and donors. The subscription lists at the last dinner
amounted to 175/. ; and, in consequence of the unusually
small amount of this sum, it was suggested that 500/. should
be raised by subscriptions of 504 each; and the thanks of
the meeting were given to the gentlemen who had kintily
taken up the subscription lists. The Lord Mayor's collection
amounted to 1791. tils. The amounts collected at the two last
dinners were respectively 530/. and 1701., making together
7001. The proceeds of a private ball amounted to 53/., which
sum had been banded in. The thanks of the meeting were
unanimously voted to the auditors, secretary, and chairman,
for their unremitting attention to the well-being of the insti-
tution, and the meeting separated.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE UNION BANK,
Livsltroots—About one o'clock on Saturday, a gentleman
went into the Union 13:•nk, Brunswick-street, for the purpose
of depositing notes to the amount of 750/. He had the
bundle of notes in his hand when he entered the bank, and
while he took up a pen to write a note upon the counter, he
placed them in the outside pocket of his top coat. When, in
a minute or two after, he put down his hand to feel for them,
they were gone, and no trace of them has since been die-
covered. It is believed that the thief was one of the London.
swell mob, who made his way there in search of what he
could find. There are several of the London swell mob now
in town, and most of them are of very fashionable exterior.
One was apprehended on Saturday, who was believed to have
been concerned in this robbery, but he was discharged, as he
had not any notes, although he had 23 sovereigns in his pos-
session. The numbers of the notes stolen at the bank are
known, and bills have been printed offering a reward of 50/.
for the apprehension of the thief and recovery of the pro-
pert). It is singular that the exposures recently matte have
not taught caution to gentlemen depositing and receiving
sums of money at banks and other public places. Indi-
viduals who place cash in loose outside pockets are the very
victims whom sharpers use all vigilance to discover. The
notes consisted of six 100/. and three 50/. notes, all of the
Bank of England.--Liverpool Albion of yesterday.
SERIOUS MILL AcctDENT.—MANCHESTER, MARCH
15.—An accident of a very serious nature occured in a
building attached to the spinning mill of Messrs. Gray,
Pollard-street, this morning, at about twenty minutes past
ten o'clock. The building is a boiler-house, containing
three boilers, and is 32 feet wide ; over the boilers is a room
in which there are twelve jack-frames, a heavy kind of ma-
chinery. The floor on which the machinery stands is sup-
ported with three iron beams, and which appears to be very
strong, and weigh 66 cwt. Between the beams are heavy
brick arches ; these beams are unsupported by pillars, in
consequence of the flues of the boilers not being able to
bear the weight. It was supposed by the architects that the
beams were of sufficient strength to bear twice the weight
that would be required. Over the jack-frame room there
is an asphalte cistern, which is seventeen inches deep, and
is supported by iron beams arid brick-work, as the floor
beneath, and two iron pillars, are fastened to the beams
which support the floor of the room containing the ma-
chinery. One of the beams gave way, and whether it was
the beam which supports the roof and the asphalte cistern,
or that which supports the floor of the jack-room, is not yet
known ; the latter seems to be the most. probable. One
end of the building has given way. The roof of this build-
ing and the floor underneath are broken through. Six of
the jack-frames on the boilers underneath have Killen in.
The other six frames and the remaining part of the building
stand uninjured, with the exception of the outside walls
The machinery was at work, and one woman named Eliza-
beth.
Cooper was killed, and two others were injured, one of
whom we understand is now in the infirmary, but is not
dangerously hurt ; the other walked home and seemed not
to have sustained much injury. The woman that was killed
we have been informed was married, and bad three children.
THE LATE CONFLAGRATION AT BATTERSEA.—AIi
investigation was yesterday gone into to ascertain, it possi-
ble, by what means the tire which destroyed so large an
amount of property occurred, upon Mr. Bethall's premises
in Battersea-fielos. The result of that inquiry tailed in
throwing any addi ional light on the cause or the calamity.
The watchman, in whose charge the premises were left at
night, and whose duty it wes to look after the turnaces on
the works, stated, in answer to inquiries made by his em-
ployer, that whilst the tar was running out of one of the
boilers in the tar-house lie left the place for a few seconds,
and on his return found that a considerable quantity of that
article had, from some cause, which he is at a loss to ac-
count for, become ignited. He positively affirms that
neither lamp nor candle had been taken near the vessel into
which the tar was running. When the fire commenced he
tried all he possibly could to prevent the flames from extend-
ing, and he kept at his post until he became almost encir-
cled in flame, when, in order to save his life, he was at last
compelled to rush out of the place and run to a distant part
of the premises, for the fire extended so rapidly that in the
~race of a few seconds several square yards of ground in the
vicinity of the still-house were covered with burning tar
and pitch. The exact amount of property that has been
consumed cannot be ascertained as yet, but Mr. Bethall'a
loss alone, it is stated, will be several thousand pounds. His
saw-mills were fitted up with expensive machinery and fix-
tures, all of which are destroyed. The only building on the
premises not destroyed was the still-house, the escape of
which was an exceedingly fortunate circumstance, for
there were several thousand gallons of naptha in the
place. The firemen in saving
this properly were exposed to
great peril, and several of them have been severely injured
over the face and bands by the lighted tar.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON Ncre are as yet
without any tidings of the steamer Cambria, from Boston, but
,s her sister.ahip the Hibernia did not arrive in March, 1845,
till the 17th, entirely owing to bad weather, she cannot yet
be Considered as overdue. The Sarah Sands has also not yet
made her appearance.
