SALES BY AUCTION.

SALES OF LANDED PROPERTY, OF FREEHOLD AND
LEASEHOLD HOUSES, RENT-CHARGES, REVERSIONS
POLICIES, &c.

M.lt. EDMUND ROBINS (Successor to the
late Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, and whom he has assisted
many years in the conduct of his business) announces most
respectfully to the Nobility, Gentry, and the Public generally, that
the IiU,INESS WILL NOW BE CONTINUED BY 11tH in the
department of SALES by AUCTION, or PRIVATE TREATY, of
LANIPED PROPERTY, of FREEHOLD and LEASEHOLD
HOUSES, RENT-CHARGES, REVERSIONS, POLICIES. &c., as
well as SURVEYS and VALUA IIOSS; and he most respectiblly,
urges that the long experience he possesses, under the able conduct'
of his lumen! ed relative and predecessor, entitles him to solicit a
portion of that support so many years enjoyed by the old-estab 'shed
concern in Cevent-garden, whilst he ventures to assure his
patrons that a strict attention will not only be paid to the interests
of those who may entrust the disposal of their property to his con-
duct, but a scrupulous desire to render the charges for commission,
&c., as moderate as he consistently can to accomplish that success
which it will ever be his primary object to achieve.

A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.
MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
_
Street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESCRIP-
TION- of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, er
ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be
distinguished trom the originals by the closest observer; they will
never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or auy painful operation, and wit, support and preserve
teeth that aro loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication ; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economical, tie has fixed his charges at the lo.est
scale possible. Decayed teetk rendered sound and useful In mastica-

3,000 bales, including 500 for export. The market con-
tinued dull and heavy. with very little change, though
prices tended downwards. The sales included 600 Pernams
and Maranhams at 7d. to 734 d., 50 Bahia at 7d. to 714 d.,
50 Sea Island at 13iel. to 170., and 2,300 American at 6d.

The sale of Railway Shares to-day, by Messre. Lamond
and Co., was (lull, and rather less business done. There
was no great change in prices. The following are a few of

Railway Shares were quiet and flat in price generally.
Accounts from Belgium state that a very patriotic P
'
ropo-
sition had been made by a merchant of Bruges; viz., to ab-
stain entirely from speculations in grain, and to make no
purchases excepting in foreign markets. Several Ranks had
already acquiesced, and - a bond *la to be signed, by
which a penalty of 100 francs was to be incurred in
every case where 'the parties' bought home-grown corn.
The object, of course, is to leave the market to.the unre-
stricted influence of supply and demand, and to keep prices
at a moderate level, which would be the case probably were
the dealings direct between the grower and the consumer.
Imports of foreign grain are the legitimate province of the
merchant, and as an importer' he confers a direct benefit on
his country, while the mere speculator for a rise aggravates
the-necessities of the poor_

In the recent accounts from New Orleans we are furnished
with certain particulars which convey a good idea of the ex-
tensive employment of shipping in the Mexican war. One
party writes—
" The quartermaster's department still are taking up more
vessels, and we learn that there are now but six or eight un-
engaged American ships in port. The Government have at
present at least 20,000 to 25,000 tons of merchant vessels in
their employ, which have been chartered iu this port, within
a few weeks. The rates at which they have been engaged
will average from ten to twelve dollars per ton per month,
which is a profitable employment for the vessels, but under the
present rates and prospects for f eights to Europe, not only here,
but also in all the other ports of the United States, they could
not have been obtained on more favourable terms. At Mobile
we understand, there is nut a single unengaged vessel.

those who sincerely rejoice that our shipowners have the
prospect of one good business season, after so. many of de-
pression and loss to that important interest. The present
expenditure of the Government, for the hire of vessels, in-
cluding steam-boats, cannot be less than 5 to 600,000 dolls.
per month, as in addition to those chartered here, there are a
great number at other ports, carrying troops and supplies to
the seat of war."
There is quite an exhilarating appearance in the English

GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA
RAILWAY.

A meeting of the scripholders in this undertaking was
held yesterday at the company's offices, 3, New Broad-street,
City, to receive the report of the directors; Lord NV harncliffe,
President of the Board of Directors, in the chair.
The Noble CHAIRMAN said that, in opening the proceed-
ings of the meeting, he did not feel it necessary to
detain them very long by any observations. They
would hear the report read, which would place them
in the full possession of the position in which the company
stood at that very time. Tie meeting he bad the honour
to aeldress was not very numerous; but they (the directors)
hoped that they might infer, even from that circumstance,
that they (the shareholdere) placed confidence in the mode
in which the affairs of the company had been
transacted. He believed that they were entitled to
that confidence, and he trusted those who should
hear the report would not have any doubt that
their effints had been applied to the object for which the
company had been constituted. When they under-
took to construct that railway, every one knew that
great delays must occur before trey could carry out their
object. In the first place, they were aware that the pre-
liminaries would consume au immensity of their time.
They also felt that the governing powers in India were
entitled to claim some delay. It was nesessary to make
imptiries as to distance and expenditure, for it a system
of railway were adopted in India the whole responsi-
bility must rest upon the governing powers there. It
wee also reasonable that those ia authority should
wish for time to make, their selection from the different
schemes submitted to them. They (the company) ought
not, therefor e, to be surprised at the delay that had taken
place. At the same time, the directors could not deny that
they had hoped that they should have made greater ad-
vances than they had done, and that they would hsve been
able to lay before the shareholders and the public
something more distinct than they could at present submit
to the authorities in this country, not in India. However,
they had every reason to believe that they were
favourable to the introduction of railways into
India, and that they ( the company) stood in
a favourable position was evident, ! from the
correspondence that had taken place between the Honour-
able the Eaet India Company and members of their com-
pany. One of the principal reasons. the directors had in
calling the present meeting was to have.an opportunity of
communicating with their subscribers, -and laying before
them a report of the proceedings up to the present time,
and to adopt the steps that were necessaey to be taken.
They had been obliged to introduce a Bill into Parliament;
having no reasonable doubt as to the success of their under-
taking, they thought it right to obtain that incorporation which
was necessary. That Bill was then before the Parliament; it
had been read a second time. That was the position in which
they then stood, but before taking any further steps the di-
rectors considered that it would be right to give their
subscribers all the i"formation in their power, and to
afford them an opportunity of making any observations
they might thil k proper to make. It was not, perhaps,
necessary for him to add anything further, but to allow
the report to be read. Of course, when they had
obtained the decision of the East. India Com-
pany, they would then be prepared for the new
circumstances that might arise. He could express his firm
confidence that the undertaking in which they were engaged
would be carried out, and that it would prove a remunerative
speculation to the subscribers, and an incalculable benefit to
the public both of thia country and of India.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. flusTost then read the report of the directors, from
which it appeared that after considerable difficulties they
had succeeded in getting plans and sections completed. The
result of the allotment had been the payment on
75,678 shares, and the execution of the deed and the dupli-
cates on the bonds by the subscribers amounted to 60,043
shares. The total number of shares paid on in England was
64,700 and the subscription deed had been executed tor 53,865.
The deposits paid in Bombay were. 6,178/. The total
amount of funds realised was 22,1211. 3s. Gd. The
report, after adverting to the difficulties which were
encountered from the climate and other local cir-
cumstances, proceeded to state that data had
been obtained for constructing a line of railway from Bombay
to Alleah, a distance of 1081 s, miles, with an extension
of 36 miles, as far as Alhuse, in the direction of ,Shala-
poor; also an extension of 31 miles, as far as/ Purah
River, in the direction of Hoshungabad. That was a line
which would bring the grain, cotton, Sec., and, return the
salt of the coast, the piece goods and hardware 0/ Manchester
and Birmingham. The estimated return the line would afford
would be a profit of 11 per cent. upon the cost of its
construction. The whole of the documents had been printed,
and were open to the inspection of the subscribers. The
East India Company had expressed themselves favourably
towards their project, and they would see from the
report of Mr. Stephenson, that, while he differed
in some points from the engineer of the com-
pany, his opinion of the line was most gratifying
The expenditure was 17,9341. 13i. 10d. The report having
referred in laudatory terms to the services of the different
officers of the company, concluded by recommending the
shareholders to promote the Bill before Parliament as being
calculated to advance their interests.

Mr. WILLIAMSON proposed the adoption of the report.
Mr. WlLses seconded the resolution, which was carried
unanimously.

G. W. kipansos, EA. (late member of the Council of
Bombay), proposed resolution to the effect that the directors
let the rmlway sho dbe rNirested to continue their negotia-
tisns with the Board of the lion. the East India 'Company,
with a view to enable them to bring their undertaking to a
satisfactory result. He had no doubt that the board to which
he alluded had every friendly disposition towards the
company.
W. A:gym-mon, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
The NOELIL CIIAMMAN proposed, in very flattering terms,
that the name of Mr. Halton, who was one of the provi-
sional committee, and who had acted as secretary to the
company, and had contributed from the position he held very
much to their success, should be inserted in the report in
conjunction with the gentlemen whose names they had men-
tioned in so flattering a manner.
Mr. HAMILTON, M.P., seconded the resolution, which was
carried unanimously.
Mr. H.H.Torr, in returning thanks, observed that a very
false impression existed with reference to the probability of
the success of railways in India. Towns had grown up there
with a rapidity unknown to this In rt of the world, and the
Hindoos were remarkable for the quickness with which they
rode or drove • numbers of wealthynati ves might be seen in their
carriages, and these, no doubt, would prefer in many cases
travelling by steam. Besides, there were many wealthy
merchants in India who were ready to embark their capital in
enterprises. He conceived that the same motives that led to
the formation of railways in this country would operate in
India, and that the desire of making a profitable speculation
was felt there as well as here.

Thanks having been voted to the Noble Chairman and the
other directors, the meeting separated.

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND
HEREFORD RAILWAY COMPANY.

The first general meeting of the proprietors of this com-
pany was held yesterday, at the offices of the company, No.
2, Moorgate-street ; the Hon. Capt. Fr zmaurice, in the chair.
The SECRETARY read the report, from which we make the
following extracts :
" The directors beg to state that the arrangements proposed
in their circular of the 23d of December last, having been
readily acquiesced in, a large number of shareholders in the
Monmouthshire Railway Company were admitted into this
company. The proprietary has thus been materially
strengthened. and the registration, up to the present time,
consists of 377 proprietors, holding in the aggregate 22,180
shares of 251. each, with 21. 10s. per 'share credited thereon,
out of 29,320 shares of like amount, being the total number i
authorised to be issued under the Act.
" Under the Act of Incorporation, the company was em-
powered to carry out arrangements entered into for the pur-
chase of the Llanvihangel, Grosmont and Hereford Tram-
eoads. These sales having been ratified by the shareholders
in these respective companies, the first instalment of pur-
chase money has been :paid to the Hereford tram-road
Company, and similar instalments are in course of payment
to the other two companies. The balance of the purchase
moneys (about 45,000), will be payable in March, 1848.
"This company is entitled to the revenue of the tram-
roads from October last ; and the directors look forward to a
return of half the purchase money from the sale of the land
and plant included in the purchase. Great facilities will be
obtained, and much expense saved, in the construction of the
line, by the acqui,ition of this valuable property.
" The whole of the main line of railway has now been laid
out by the engineer; and the directors have advertised for
the portion of the line between Pontypool and Abergavenny,
where the works are the heaviest, and which will conse-
quently take the longest time in completion.
" The directors made a call of 11. 10s. a share, payable on
the Ist of this month, which has been readily responded to,
and they confidently anticipate the early payment of the
whole call.
"In conformity with the almost universal practice now
adopted by railway companies, the directors have thought it
right to allow intere,t at the rate of 4 per cent. on the depo-
sit, from the date of the Act ; and they propose, for the fu-
ture, to allow 5 per cent. on the deposit and calls as they are
paid."
The CHAIRMAN then adverted to some of the topics in the
report, and put a resolution to the meeting that the report
should be adopted and circulated.
The Hon. H. KNOX seconded the motion, which was
unanimously agreed to.
The present directors were then re-elected; 7001. voted to
them for their past services, and 8001. for their services
during the ensuing year.
Two auditors were also appointed, and the salary of the
secretary fixed at 600/. per annum.
SPECIAL MEETING.
The meeting was then made special, when the following
Bills were submitied for the approval of the shareholders:—
A Bill for amending the Newport, Abergavenny, ;and
Hereford Railway Act, 1846, and to authorise deviations from
the line of the said railway, and fur making branches and
extensions therefrom.
A Bill to enable the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford
Railway Company, to extend their railway from the neigh-

Bills, which had passed the Standing Orders Committee, and
were now waiting the appointment of a Committee to in-
vestigate their merits, and concluded by submitting resolu-
tions strongly recommending the extensions to the adoption
of the shareholders.
The resolutions were unanimously agreed to.
This terminated the business of the meeting. i

PROTEST of POLISH EMIGRANTS
AGAINST THE TREATY 'OF VIENNA.
We have received a communication from Mr. V. 0.
Zienkiewici, the chairman, and Mr. J. Wellman, the
secretary of a public meeting of Polish emigrants, held
on the 6:h of March, at 41, King-street, Snow-hill, at
which the Poles present, lest thcir silence ehould be
construed into an acquit.seence in the views adopted by
some of the speakers at the meeting at Freemason.
tlsll (viz., that the treaty of Viet.na was binctirig on
Poland), came to the !011owin,1 re-olutions:—
" 1. That the, Vienna compact in 1815, and its stipulations,
were entered into without the consent of Poland, against its
wish, will. and imprescriptible rights.
2. That the compact of Vienaa sanctioned the innn ral
and violent dismemberments of Poland in 1773, 1793, 1795,
perpetrated without the consent of Great Britain and Ireland.

".3. That this Vi.nna treaty estaJlished the hereditary
and. Muscovite dyne ;ty in Poland.

" 4. That thisiiiictltous compact stigmatises as a rebel-
lion, as a state crime, all the eff.rts of the Po!es to regain
ancient, entire, and independent. Poland. The Poles against
these and other immoralities and violations of their innate
and imprescriptible rights, sanctioned by the Vienna treaty,
have protested, and shall evbr protest, not only by words,
but by their deeds and their blood."

These resolutions, it is stated, were come to with all
due deference to the honourable speakers and friends of
PulAnd who attended the meeting held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, and with an expression of heartfelt
gratitude for their zeal, solicitude, and good wishes for
Poland. The emigrants thus assembled repudiate all
connexion with the " Committee of Poles residing in
England," which committee dues not represent their
feelings or wishes.

„DON'T YOU REMEMBER?”
(From the Dispatch.)
Ohl these are the words that eternally utter
The spell that is seldom cu t o'er us in vain;
With the wings and the wand of a fairy they flutter,
And draw a charmed circle about us again.
We return to the spot where our Infancy gamboll'd;
We linger once more in the haunts of our Youth:
We re-tread where young Passion first stealthily rambled.
And whispers are heard full of Nature and Truth,
Saying, "Don't you remember?"
We treasure the picture where Colour seems breathing
In lineaments mocking a long-worshipp'd face;
We are proud of-some tress in a chain of close wreathing,
And gold-links of Ophir are poor in its place.
Oh what is the secret that giveth them power
To fling out a star on our darkest of ways?
'Tis the tone of Affection—Life's holiest power—
That murmurs about them and blisfulty says
"Don't you remember?"
The voice of Old Age, while it tells some old story,
Exults o'er the tale with fresh warmth in the breast;
As the haze of the twilight e'er deepens the glory
Of beams that are fast gcing down in the west.
When the friends of our Boyhood are gathered around us,'
The spirit retraces its wild flower track ;
The heart is still held by the strings that first bound
And Feeling keeps singing, while wandering bac
"Don't you remei .er? "
When those whom we prized have departed for ver,
Yet perfume is shed o'er the cypress we twi e;
Yet fond Recollection refuses to sever,
And turns to the Past, like a saint to the s. One.
Praise carved on the marble is often deceivin! •
The gaze of the stranger is all it may clain ;
But the strongest of love and the purest of g eving
Are heard when lips dwell on the missin, . e's name,
Saying, " D • you remember !"

PORTSMOUTH, Maze!' 15.—The Cleopatra, 26, Captain
Wyvill. arrived this afternoon from the Cape of Good Hope
station. Her dates are Simon's Bay, January 2; St. He-
lena, January 26; Ascension, February 2. She has been
employed out nearly five years. and has lost several officers
and many men by sickness. She is ordered off forthwith to
Chatham to be paid off. She delivered her mails over to the
Seringapatam Indianian at the Cape, which vessel has deli-
vered them some days since.

plentiful. The Tortoise store and guard-ship, Captain Hui-
ton, and the Hydra steam-sloop, Commander Morrell, were
the only vessels at the island. Tne Penelope steam-frigate
was daily looked for from England.
On the 12th inst. the Cleopatra passed, in lat. 45.44, long.

with bow prit standing, and stern stove in. She had been
apparently some time in that state.

the west coast of Africa stati in, in the Cleopatra, and is so
ill as to preclude all hope of his recovery. Lieutenant W.
C. Marsh thgjAdo, and Captain Armstrong, of the
"4.tth BegiVert, fee come home in the Cleopatra ; and
