to persevere in those absurd ideas ? I trust they do not,
and I trust, when my Noble Friend again enters Parlia-
ment, and when questions are asked upon that sub-
ject, the Government would not be met by the Pro-
testant erv, "You must not have a Minister at the
Court of Rome to protect the interests of Great Britain
in Italy."— (Loud applause.)
Mr. Alderman DUNN gave " The Earl of Arundel
and Surrey, and the house of Howard."—(Cheers.)
He observed that there were present two members of
that noble house, and it would be unseemly in him to
go into certain details, with which he was prepared, iti
their presence.
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURRBY said—Gentle-
men, I have on this occasion, as well as I have had on
many previous occasions, to thank you for the mos.
kind and H-►ttering reception given to me on appear.
ing before this company. I can only attribute you►
kindness towards me to your admiration of those who
have preceded me, and particularly to the regard you
have shown to my grandfather and father. Perhaps
some portion of your favour may be extended to me
because of the sterling virtues and brilliant eloquence
of my noble relative (Lord Morpeth) who has at-
tracted the admiration of the riding, and who has
now the great honour to represent it.—(Applause.)
I trust when my Hon. Friend who proposed my
health said there were two Howards in the room he
did not forget that my friend (Lord Morpeth) is also
a Howard.—(Applause.) I think it is by uniting
such virtues as my Noble Friend possesses that we
can hope to obtain the affections of those around us.
Gentlemen, I do not feel that I am in a position to
enter at any length into subjects of
.general informa-
tion. I may, however; venture to propose to you a
toast which will, I fear not, meet your cordial accept-
ance. It is the health of our. host, who has so splen-
didly entertained us to-day.—(Loud applause.)
The MASTER CUTLER returned thanks..

LIFE and CORREAP3NDENCE of W. E. CHANNING, D.D.
Enriched with two Portraits. Edited by his Nephew, %V. 11. Chan-
ning. The work will be printed in post Bvo., and will be uniform
with the Glasgow and American Editions of Dr. Charming's col-
lected works. The value of the work will be greatly enhanced by
two very superior and distinct Portraits of Dr.Chatining, engraved
on steel, to be prefixed separately to the first and sec nd volumes;
one of them being a copy of a Painting by the eminent American
artist, Allston. And, if the work extends to three volumes, a Pro-
file View of Dr. Chauning's Bust will probably be add...d as., an Illus-
tration.

JOHN PARKER, Eq., M.P., on rising, was loudly
applauded. He said—Mr. Mager Cutlor, my Lords,
fuel geatlemen I should not have presumed to rise at
so early a period of the evening, were it not that the
Master Cutler has imposed upon me the pleasing
duty of proposing a toast which has
always been re-
ceived with great pleasure by the inhabitants of this
district, and will not be received with less pleasure and
respect on account of the presence of those I see
around me.—(Cheers.) I have, gentlemen of Shef-
field, to propose the health of the Lord of Hallam-
shire.—(Loud applause.) It is gratifying to me to
see here present the two Noble Lords, sons of the
Noble Duke ; and I am sure I may leave it in their
hands to say how glad the Noble Duke would have
been to be present. But higher duties which his
Grace owes to his Sovereign, who has commanded
his attendance in another part of the realm,
prevent his attendance here upon this occa-
sion. However, I am sure that the Noble
Lords who are here will represent him ably,
and you will, I trust, receive as you have always
received " The health of the Duke of Norfolk and
Lord of jlallarnshire."—(Loud cheers.) .„
Lord E. IliyvrAED shortly returned ltatiks, and
apologised for the absence of his father (the Duke of
Norfolk), in consequence of having been called upon
to attend the Queen to Scotland.
The ex-Master Cutler (T. TURTON, Esq.) and the
Mayor of SHErriELD then severally proposed as toasts
the healths of the Dukes of Devonshire and New-
castle.

Colonel l'uompsort rose to propose the next toast,
and was greatly applauded. He said it was so plain
that all that bordered upon controversy should be ba-
nished from that table, that he knew nothing to which
that assembly could so aptly be compared as to a
festive union of men accustomed to fight under dif
ferent banners but meeting beneath a flag of truce.—
(Cheers.) Great pleasure would be found in such

Sir ANDREW KNIGHT, M.D., then proposed in a
short and eulogistic speech the health of Earl Fitz-
william.
The toast was received with loud applause, and
The Noble EaaL,in returning thanks, said—l beg
to return you my very sincere thanks for the honour
which, at the suggestion of my learned friend on my
left, you have been pleased to confer upon me. It
has frequently been my lot to be called upon to
thank you on these occasions, but there has been
none on which I have donei it with more satisfaction
than on the present, for it snow several years since
I had the pleasure of meeting you at this festive
board. You must allow me to make one or two, or
perhaps even three observe
observations on the state of
Ireland, and on my own duties in relation to it; and
perhaps from my own duties you may be able to
infer what are yours.—(Applause.) My learned
friend has told you that I am considerably connected
ith that country. So I am; and I endeavour accord-
ing to the best lights that I can obtain, to do my duty
what is the
towards that country. But it is one of the greatest
rproblemsight w.ay to be
dealing solved w
tbhy a politicians,
countrywhich has been
so grievously afflicted. It always appears to me,
whether sitting in the House of Parliament, whether
he great
in gsfEgland, whether in town
whetherur in country, whether I am in the
t m etehtei n
presence of the young or whether I am in the pre-
sence of the aged, it appears to me that there is
marvellous ignorance of the state of that country,
that there is marvellous ignorance of the deep
ca'amity which has oppressed it. There is a
marvellous ignorance in some persons disposing
them to ascribe it to the misconduct of men rather
than to the inscrutable designs of Providence. It is
to the latter that I am disposed to ascribe it.—

felt amongst men of honourable habits, and there
would be no disposition whatever to take advantage of
any little outbreak of natural feeling which might fall
from any one individual. For his part he was glad to
be able to protest personally against the poor and pal-
try policy which continually involved the chance of
war by being afraid to speak in opposition to it. Did
men incur risks of that kind in private life ? Did
they excite the attacks of the dishonourable and
wicked, by being afraid to cry " Stop thief," when
occasion was presented to them ? or had they not a
consciousness that every evil act would be pursued.
and it was by the accla nations of the innocent that
crime was prevented ?—(Cheers.) Depend upon it
there would be no disunion upon a point where the
honour of the country was concerned.—(Cheers )
He felt great pleasure, because he was speaking in
the presence of those who could not but feel it to be
acceptable to find that such a feeling was prevalent
among their countrymen, and particularly amontz
that portion of their countrymen among whom hostil.-
feelings were suspected. There were tunes whet
their ancestors had fought, and with reason : but he
saw no reason for referring present disputes to the
same common enemy —(Applause.) Another ques-
tion to which allusion had beep made he thought he
might speak to with still more certainty for Bradford
—that the men of that town were convinced that
there were no risks to run in free-trade. They had
examined the subject thmugh, and were no longer t
he deluded by the flimsy plea that if all the nations of
Europe were content to lose in turn by monopoly,
the share of one nation would be worth having.
They had seen enough to know better than this,
and if they were asked, hands, as many as had
been alluded to before, would be held up in oppo
sition to such a proposition.—(Applause.) Let the
answer of the gentlemen of Sheffield lay in the re-
ception which they would give to the toast, long
postponed, but which he Has requested now to give
them, " The health of Lord Morpeth and Richard
Cobden, Esq., the representatives for the West
Riding," and he hoped they would cheer them as they
loved them.—(Loud and repeated cheering.)
Glee—" The Mighty Conqueror."
Lord MoRPETH—(Loud and protracted cheering)
—Mr. Cutler, my Lords, and Gentlemen, I rise to
return you my most hearty thanks for the honour
you have just now been pleased to pay the Members
of the West Riding of Yorkshire. You are pro-
bably aware that my colleague, Mr. Cobden, is now
at a considerable distance from us—indeed, I
am not sure whether, at this moment, he knows
that the Master Cutler of Sheffield has any lawful
claim upon his attendance.—(Cheers.) However,

(Cheers.) Without at any length referring to the
question, there can be no doubt that in the element
of the food of man a scarcity has been inflicted on
that country by the will of the Almighty. Gentle-
men, it is undoubtedly the duty of every individual
prorrietor in that country, who perhaps bears—l will
not say perhaps—but who does bear a somewhat dif-
ferent relation to the districts of that country, even
large proprietors in that country, to what a
large proprietor bears in this district—it is his
duty to alleviate distress as much as possible.—
(Cheers.) But the distress cannot be entirely
alleviated, because you, cannot, by any possible
means, fill up that deep cavity which has been
made in that country. But if it is the duty of indivi-
dual proprietors to do as much as they can for the
inhabitants on their individual estates, give me leave
to suggest to you whether, if I be the owner of so
many hundreds, or of so many thousands of acres in
the county of Wicklow—give me leave to ask you, as
Englishmen, whether the whole of Ireland is not the
estate of England ?—(Applause.) Whether Ireland
has not a right to consider England as her landlord,
and if the inhabitants of particular districts have a
right to look to landlords for assistance, I would put
it to you and to the governors of this country whether
Ireland at large has not a right to look to England as
her landlord ? You have given—you have advanced
some nine millions of money-in the course of the last
twelve months. Of that you have given between four
and five millions. You have lent it. Now, it is my
fortune to read newspapers sometimes, and very often
I see a great deal of credit taken for the advance, not
of the four millions which has been given, but I see a
great deal of credit taken for the four millions which
has been lent. I can only observe on that subject,
that the generosity of the money-lender is not the
virtue which i most ordinarily ascribed to him.
The money-lender generally expects to have his
money back again, with interest, and therefore I
do not look on it that there is any very great
claim for generosity when people lend money.
But then I beg to start this question—and that
is, whether the conduct
of Englishmen in bygone
days towards Ireland has not made England a large
debtor to Ireland? I say it has. How many Acts
of Parliament hive been passed to discourage agricul-
ture in Ireland ? How many Acts to discourage, and
if possible, to destroy her manufactures ? Her agri-
culture was discouraged, and her landed property was
diminished in value. Her manufactures were put
down in order to appease the landed and commercial
jealousies of England. To Ireland, therefore, Eng-
land, as a nation, owes a large debt—not merely a
large moral debt, but I will be bold to affirm, a
large pecuniary debt—and, therefore, I believe four
millions is nothing like the amount due from England
to Ireland, if it could be estimated by the measure
and kind of legislation adopted towards that country.
—(Cheers.) I may infer from certain circumstances
which have recently taken place, and which I shall
not further state than just by mentioning them, and
leave you to infer what I allude to. I trust there is
growing up in this country an opinion that perfect
freedom of trade is best for all classes in it.—(Loud
applause.) I hope, from the manner in which you
have just received these observations' that I may have
from you even a still more marked demonstration of
your opinion, that perfect free trade is the best for all
the nations of the world. I do not mean that trade
should be free from those duties which are
applaud till you are
imposed for purposes of revenue;, these duties are of
a different kind. But I witet to have your opinion
whether free trade is best for all nations of the world.

you would like to see
the cutlery of Germany competing, in Great Britain
and Ireland, with the cutlery of Sheffield. Be quite
sure that that is your intention before you say one
word of approbation.—(Cheers.) Is that your mean-
ing? And do you think that your neighbours of
Leeds and Bradford intend, when they talk of free
trade, to admit the cloths of foreign manufacture to
compete with the cloth of Leeds, with
Bradford, and with the flannel off Roc dale ? There

at all looking abroad during the last fortnight or
three weeks must have observed that. a very remark-
able proceeding has taken place in Italy. Now,
whether that be or be not according to the law of
nations I will not here discuss; but_ there is one ques-
tion which I do wish to suggest for your considera-
tion, whether it is right to put her Majesty's Minis-
ters in the situation in which they now are, namely,
that if I ask my Noble Friend on my right, the re-
presentative of the West Riding, or if I ask his
representatives of this town—if I
ask either of them what they mean to do—what they
mean, in reference to what was sa_id about the advan-
tage' subordinates, the
of being prepared for war ; Iwish to know in
what situation they when this pinching
question is put to them, and when they are asked

and say that the power which Austria has invaded is

whether the inherited bigotry of the sixteenth cen-
tury is to prevent us having an accredited Minister at
the Court of Rome, and to prevent our considering
that as a friendly power, the sweeping of which away,
by Austria from the face of Europe would most mate-
rially affect the interests of all the other powers of

it maybe truly said of hiM, that within the
period of the last twelve months he has been no
stranger to banquets in the halls of commerce, and
in the saloons of industry.— (Cheers.), I certainly
do not feel myself warranted in treading upon all the
ground which has been, laid open to us by one of my
predecessors in the discussion of this evening—my
noble and respected friend, Earl Fitz william. If the
proposer of his health made some little breach in the
hedge which separates us from the consideration of
politics, I think it must be admitted that my Noble
Friend made a clean thing of it.—(Laughter and
cheers.) I think he drove the famous old family
coach-and-six right through it.—(Loud laughter.)
I am not quite sure whether he intended to put to
me definitely the question, or whether he only gave
me a foretaste of the interrogatories which my col-
leagues are to expect at the opening of the ensuing
Parliament. But I must frankly say at this moment
that I am not prepared to answer whether the Cabi-
net have resolved to acknowledge the Pope or to
proclaim war with Austria. However, you are quite-
at liberty to put the question to my colleagues, and if
they think fit they may answer it.—(Cheers and
laughter.) You may put the question to the Secretary
of the Treasury whether he has included an allowance
to an ambassador of Rome in his estimates for th,
ensuing year—(Laughter)—and to the Secretary o
the Navy whether he has issued orders to fit out a
squadron to blockade Trieste, and take possession of
Ancona.—(Laughter.) However, I have the satis-
faction of having received an assurance—an authentic
assurance—from my neighbour, the Noble Lord
Alilton, that he is about immediately to proceed
in a yacht to the Mediterranean—(Laughter)—
where I hope he will be able to guarantee thp
security of his Holiness the Pope.—(Much laughter.)
And now I must state also my cordial acquiescence
in what fell from my other 'neighbour, the Earl of
Arundel, whom I am so proud to claim as my kins-
man, that I view with great satisfaction the conti-
nuance of these respectable meetings, on a scale of
increasing liberality and splendour.—(Applause.) 1
like the composition of these meetings, for they bring
together the heads of great houses, the possessors of
extensive acres, the members of the great agricultural
interests of the country; and the representatives of
that energy and enterprise which has given life and
wealth to this busy and industrious town and neigh-
bourhood. And in this respect they seem to be no
inappropriate representation of the framework of
English society, which mixes so many differing in-
terests and so many distinOt.classes, the dispensers
and recipients of mutual benefits.—(Applause.)
Within the period of the last year, for all those inte-
rests and classes we have had times of great difficulty
struggle, and privation. But it must be admitted
that English energy has dune its part. Those diffi-
culties have been met, on the whole, with singular
resignation and patience. Our industry has indeed
braved the storm and breasted the billow, and it
has also been enabled, even in the struggle of
its own agony, to hold out a helping hand
to its suffering brother.—(Applause.) I do not
feel more warranted with respect to former topics
which have been touched upon in the discussion,
in saying what ought to be the future terms and
modes of national assistance and mutual help be-
tween England and Ireland. These are subjects too
great to be treated at such a moment as this, and
amidst convivial accessories. But on looking at the
past, I feel satisfied that England has gone through
the crisis without raising any piteous cry for help to
itself on account of its own sore places, and at the
same time has done its best to staunch the wounds of
bleeding Ireland.—(Applause.) I hope that easier
times are now in store for us—that a brighter dawn
is breaking around us, and that more frequent gleams
of light streak the distant horizon. I trust, gentle-
men, that the sources of your trade and industry may
prove as elastic even as those railway carriage springs
which form a new and creditable source of employ-
ment in this town—(Cheers)—and I trust that the
harvest that now embrawns the fields about us, and
clothes all the hills and vales with golden sheaves,
may be made the happy instrument of interchange
with the productions of the looms and anvils of York-
shire, and thus tend, under the Divine blessing, to
the permanent well-being of those interests which
are so aptly and fitly represented at thiaplenteous
and friendly board.—(Tremendous applause.)

[PIM:I3 BD.

Members, John Parker, Esq., and Henry George
Ward, Esq."—(Loud applause.)
Jails PARKER, Esq., M.P., on rising to acknow-
ledge the toast, was much applauded. He said that
it was his duty to return his, best thanks fir the
honour they had done him in drinking his health, as
one of the representatives of this borough. He hail
frequently before performed a similar duty, having
endeavoured, in former Parliaments—both in respect
'o the political affairs of this great empire as well as
the local and peculiar interests of the borough—to do
his duty as one of those upon whom the highest re-
vonsibility devolved. Within the List few weeks,
in conjunction with his friend and colleague who ,at
•it the same table with himself, he had again received,
after many years of service, the continued expres-
ion of their confidence, and had been again sent to
Parliament to represent the interests of this consti-
tuency.—(Cheers.) He had never flinched from
any public declaration on any public question, when
public duty required some avowal ; yet, in an as-
-embly like the present, his duty required that he
should only generally avow his determination, on all
occasions, to act as honourable duty required ; and,
as far as the local affairs of this borough required, he
trusted they would believe him, that, as in former
times, so on future questions he would never flinch
from advocating the interests, privileges, and objects
of this community, whenever they might want a
voice to advocate them in Parliament.—(Applause.)
As regarded the commercial prospects of this coun-
try, he trusted that the beneficent prospects which
the present harvest affords, would restore the na-
tional prosperity, and elevate not only this country,
but her sister also. As it was by the will of Provi-
dence that depression-and distress existed, so he had
always held that He who had produced that destitu-
tion could alsi 'produce plenty;. arid-he believed-ft
restriction e f that plentyln eoncl
uwhichsion, h
re-
stricted
to return them his thanks for the honour they
commercial prosperity.
swtraiscted onlycom the
m
had done him.

H. G. WARD, Esq , M.P., also acknowledged the
compliment, saying that he felt Eery much indebted
to his friend Mr. Fisher for the manner in which he
had proposed his name, and also to all present, for the
kind welcome they had given him. It was an ade-
quate reward for having at some little personal in-
convenience, and he was afraid by some neglect of
his official duties, been enabled to join the Master
Cutler and his friends upon this occasion.—(Cheers.)
On the previous day (Wednesday), at five o'clock,
he left Devonport, and at five o'clock to-day he had
the pleasure of taking his seat in that company ; and
nothing but the marvellous power of locomotion in
the present day could have enabled him, however
desirous he might have been, to have accomplished so
long yet so expeditious a journey. He observed that
this evening had been one of the most agreeable that
he had ever passed in that hsll. They had diverged
little from that eternal circle of health proposing, 4,f
the violation of which there had been such a dread-
ful fear impending over them. When ',arty spirit
ran high, a great many subjects were necessarily
excluded from such meetings, hut this evening
-ome had been discussed he was sure with great
advantage to those present. He would not pre-
'end to follow the Noble Lord into the field which
he had so treacherously opened. A perfect sense of
subordination would preclude him from doing so;
hut he must express his deep regret that the Noble
Lord (Earl Fitzwilliam) had not with that deep pro-
priety, and with that courtesy which was usual in
Parliament, given a previous intimation of his inten-
tion to put the questions he had introduced—
(Laughter and applause)—because it did so happen
that he (Mr. Ward) had come down in the tram with
the only individual in whose department it was to
answer such questions. He had come down in' the
express train with Lord Palmerston—(Loud applause
and laughter.) If the Noble Lord h►d intimated his
intention to put such questions, the Noble Foreign
Secretary would no doubt have been in attendance to
give the required information ; he would have made
his excuses to the Queen for not being ready to enter
upon his Court duties as he was commanded, and
there was little doubt but that he would have given
them on that occasion a second edition of his cele-
brated Tiverton speech—(Loud applause and laughter.)
He (Mr. Ward) however, was much obliged to the
Noble Lord (Earl Fitzwilliam) for the variety which
he had given to the customary proceedings of such
occasions, by giving expression to the feelings of his
heart on subjects of so much importance. He was a man
of independent mind and thought, and in the habit of
expressing his ideas without reservation,: and he (Mr.
Ward) knew no place where he could more suitably
have done it than before the party which his presence
graced that evening.—(Applause.) Ile repeated that,
he could not presume to trench upon ground which is
was not his duty as a subordinate to meddle with ;
hut he would make this observation, that if in the
destiny of this country they were called upon to de-
fend her rights or to assert the rights of others, he
hoped, and feared not, that the department of the
service with which he was connected would not be
found wanting to maintain the position which they
might be called upon to take.—(Applause.) He said
this, although he was as thoroughly a man of peace in
his sentiments as the Master Cutler himself.—(Loud
applause.) He had no wish for war, but he looked
upon it that the greatest security for the tranquillity
of Europe was connected with the navy estimates,
coupled always with the services of such as the gal-
lant captain (Captain Jacob) whose laconicisai in re-
sponding to a previous toast was so highly charac-
teristic of his profession.—(Laughter.)
A number of other toasts were then drank, and the
meeting separated at half-past ten o'clock.— Abridged
from the Sheffield Times.

BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTI-

TUTE

A meeting of the shareholders f the British and
Foreign Institute, was held yesterday, at their rooms,
13, George-street, Ilanover-square ; W. Camps,
Esq., M 1)., in the chair, when the accounts were
tudited, and the following financial results confirmed.

The total liabilities of the concern, including all
he expenses connected wirh the winding up of its
affairs, amount d to 1,4081. 1 ls. sd. The total pro-
Teds of the ' sale of the property amounted to
1,6611. 18s. 6d., leaving, therefore, a surplus for the
4hareholders of 253/. 7s. ld., after the payment of all
its debts in full.
In addition to this there has been repaid to the life
mEmbers of the institute, as the residue of their re-
pective life commulations, the sum of 4,554/. 94.9 d.,
which was invested in. Government Securities in
ablecilowittrnheYsuhme
1844, when Consols were at 99i, and sold out in 1847,
when Consols were at 89—at a loss of more than 10
per cent.

mentioned, as a rare occurrence, that this estimate was
never once exceeded, the ac`ual expenses of each year

The list of defaulters who were in arrear in the
payment of their subscriptions, but against whom,

showed an aggregate
amount of 2,9741. 6s. 6d. due'
to o the institute, so that
if all parties had fulfilled their engagements the con-
cern would have been as flourishing in its finances,
as it is admitted to have been well-conducted
ac. .
ac-
ceptable to all those who enjoyed its privileges.
A statement was also produced of the sums relin-
quished and expended by Mi: Buckingham, the resi-
dent director, out of his own private means, for the
benefit of the institute, and never charged to or re-
imbursed out of its funds, which amounted to 1,3501.
lls. lid., in addition to the devotion of his entire time
and labour to the direction of the institute for a
period of nearly five years, without salary or emolu-
ment of any kind beyond the occupation of apart-
ments on the premises.
The sense entertained of this gentleman's services,
however, by those of the members who were most
conversant with the affairs of the institute, is unequi-
vocally manifested by their contributions to a
testi-
monial to Mr. Buckingham, amounting to about
a sum
7001., and though this is of course not
that
could either compensate him for his time, or •
re-
imburse to him the actual expenses he has incurred,
it is sufficient to prove that the contributors appreciate
his fidelity in the guardianship of their interests, and
wish to meet his retirement with a testimony of their
respect and goodwill, as the best answer that they
anal
could give to the various rumours insinuations of
their, dissatisfaction, and of the supposed failure of
the institute, from any other cause than the failure of
so many of its proposed f •
riends to fulfil their en-
gagements.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCH WALDEMAR OF

After which the report was adopted, and resolutions
were passed allowing the directors SOU' per annum,
re-electing the retiring auditor, and gxing the
salary of the secretary at 2501. per annum.
The meeting was then declared special for the
purpose of considering the propriety of ratifying an
agreement entered into for an. amalgamation with the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Company.
It was stated that the directors, after various
meetings with the direCtors-of the Edinburgh and
Glasgow Company, had arranged an agreement be-
tweea the two companies for an amalgamation, to the
17;ffect that the directors should complete the main
line- and branches, the calls to be made so as not
to retard the works, and that interest at the rate
of four per cent. per annum should be allowed
on deposits and calls, .that a bill be
plied for next sessions for an amalgamation with the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Company. The terms were
to exchange one 501. share of the latter company for
two shares of the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company,
on condition that the latter shall also pay to the
former an additional sum or premium of 21. los. per
share, the Bathgate shareholders being entitlt d to the
rateable proportion of any new stock the Edinburgh
and Glasgow Company may create in the interval.
Until the amalgamation shall have been completed
the board of the Edinburgh and Bathgate Company
is to consist of an equal number of directors of both
companies, one half of them holding stock in the one
company only, and the other half in the other com-

any
p .
The CHAIRMAN said, that it gave him great plea-
sure to perceive that the agreement had been so uni-

venally approved by the shareholders; the only cir-
cumstance he regretted was, that they must part with
three of their directors to wake room for three of the

Edinburgh and Glasgow directors, because they; had
always been unanimous in their proceedings.
The agreement for the amalgamation was then
unanimously adopted, after which the meeting sepa•
rated.

PARISH or HACHlSET.—Yesterday the church-
wardens, overseers, and several of the old inhabitants
of the parish of Hackney, accompanied by the vestry
clerk and several general officers of the parish, according
to a custom practised from a very early period, and
which has been continued without intermission, accord-
ing to the parochial records, in every seventh year up to
the present time, proceeded to inspect and mark the
several boundaries of the parish, the ancient custom of
bumping being adopted, one of the parishioners being
taken up in the arms of two others, and bumped three
times against each boundary stone, amidst buzzes of
those around ; the right of way through various lanes,
pathwa)s, canals. and rivers being also asserted by the
p.ribh authot i.ies mooring boats from boundaries on each
side of the New River and the Regent's Canal and pass-
ing over, the right to the water being also asserted, as
being withiu the jurisdiction of the patish, by each
officer being plentifully sprinkled with water as they
passed. The visi:ation taking place only once in seven
years, considerable curiosity was evinced throughout the
parish on the occasion; and in several instances soma
very amusing scenes took pint?, owing to tke difficulties
the parish officers had to encounter in getting over walls,
pilings, and fences, to get to the ancient boundaries of
the parish, and in passing over the canal a, d river
several of the parties had a very narrow escape of
ducking, if not drownirg.
To PREVENT DROWNING.—At this season of the
year, when so many accidents occur from persons bath..
jag, the following remarks may prevent the loss of
life:—Men are drowned by reising their arms ahive
water, the unbuoyed weight of which depresses the
head. Animals have neither motion nor ability to act
in a similar manner, andtherelore swim naturally. When
a man falls into deep water he will rise to the surface,
and continue there if he does rot elevate his hands. It
he moves his hands under water in any manner he
pleases, his head will rise so high as to allow him liberty
to breathe; and if he move his logs as in the act of walk-
ing up stairs, his shoulders will rise above the water, so
that he may use less exertion with his hands, er apply
them to other purposes. Persons not having learned to
swim in their youth will find the above plain directions
highly advantageous.
FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, the
25th irk, as the coach from Aberfeldy to Rannoch was
on its way to the latter place, the pin holding one of the
fore wheels upon the axletree got disengaged, and the
wheel tell off., The driver was in consi qu. n •st pitched
from the box, and the horses, feeling themselves thus
set free, xan off in the direction of Dalloist. There were
two passengers in the conveyance at the time—Mr.
Macgregor, inspector of the poor of the parish of Dull,
and another person. The latter luckily also eseaped not
much injured; but Mr. Macgregor, in attempting to
jump out, fell h. ad foremost again-t a stone. Mo• ical
assietance was- procured ftS soon as possible, but it was
of no avail, as death ensued in about five hours after the
accident happened. The bursts galloped on to Foss,
two miles and a half dise,nr, dragging the empty con-
ve.% aiti e, without the cecuirenee of further accident.—

Ai of the main mile would effect a
very considerable saving-, and the line would be
shortenel and otherwise improved. The progress of
the works in those portions of the main line already
contracted for were in a satisfactory state; the re.
Ruining portion bad been commenced.
The directors had received tenders for the execu-
tion of the branch line to Whitburn, the works on
which would shortly be commenced. They had also
entered into contracts for supplying rails, chairs,
aleeFers, &e. From the arrangements Wade, they
hoped to be able to complete the whole works, with
the exception of the Barrack's branch, and to have the
line open for traffic in September, 1848.
Arrangements had likewise been made by the Wil-
sontown, Morningside, and Coltness Company, for
effecting a junction of their line near Whitburn ; and
as that line and the communicating line to the west.
ward were fitted to the same gauge, a considerable
tratlio was expected to arie from so valuable a con-
nexion, which would be mutually advantageop.
The directors announce that amicable relations had
been established with the Edinburgh and Glasgow
Company.
The accounts to the 31st of July showed that
58,079/. had Leen received, and 21,693/. expended,
leaving a balance of 36,386/.
The CHAIRMAN said that the works were progressing
favourably, and he had no doubt that in the course of
next year the railway would be completed and opened
for traffic.
