PONTOP AND SOUTII SHIELDS

RAILWAY COMPANY.

A meeting of the proprietors of the Pontop and South
Shields Railway Company was held yesterday afternoon
at the offices, Guildhall-buildings, for the purpose of con-
sidering the terms of an agreement for the sale of the
line to the York and Newcastle (late Newcastle and
Darlington) Railway Company ; M. B. Rennie, Esq., in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN said the proprietors must b,t aware
that for some time their property was considered as
sold to the York and Newcastle Company. The agree-
ment had never assumed a specific form until re-
cently, and the sum offered and accepted by th© direc-
tors was 450,0001., which would nearly comprise all
the liabilities and share property of the company.
The agreement the directors bad entered into was
to the following effect :—Subject to the approval
of the proprietors, the York and Newcastle Company
would take possession of the line on the Ist of January
next, together with all its debts and liabilities—the
latter to be paid by the purchasers within two years, in
half-yearly instalments. fie considered it a good bar-
gain for all parties, and begged leave to move that the
directors be authorised to do all that was necessary to
carry the agreement into effect.
A PROPRIETOR seconded the proposition.
A long conversation followed, in the course of which
it appeared, from the statements of the secretary, that
the capital and mortgage debt were limited by their
Acts of Parliament, and that the 450,0001. would, after
satisfying the liabilities, pay about 75f per share. Ulti-
mately the resolution was passed, with only one dissen-
tient, and, after a vote of thanks was passed to the
Chairman, the meeting separated.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me,
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan•street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierbary, High-
gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than '
t ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies woald gladly purchase
an lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the rcetoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The moat delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the heal ; if v_ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. It used on infsnts'

SPANISH FREE-TRADE ASSOCI-

ATION.
(From El Coercio, Cadiz nzPaper, of Nov. 21.)
The other day, on the occasion of Mr. Cobden's visit
to Cadiz, and of the banquet given in honour of the
distinguished chief of the English League, we said that
some commercial gentlemen of this city bad conceived a
desire to form a mercantile league, or association, for the
purpose of promoting the discussion of such sound doc-
trines as should form the basis of a reform in our eco-
nomical and commercial legislation.
At present we have the satisfaction of announcing to
our readers that this happy idea has been realized in the
most satisfactory manner. The friends of free trade
may henceforth calculate upon a centre of union and an
efficient support in extending and carrying out their
opinions. An association for that purpose was esta-
blished in Cadiz yesterday, which is composed of per-
sons of respectability animated with the best and most
ardent wishes to consecrate their energies to the tri-
umph of those doctrines, and has at its disposal great
forces, both moral and material, gradually to destroy
the obstacles which so patriotic an enterprise will, from
the commencement, have to encounter.
At one in the afternoon, a meeting, at which Dou
Jorge Urtetegui presided, took place. The following
noblemen and gentlemen were present: —The Marquis
del Pedreso, the Count de Casa Brunet, Don Fernando
Abarzuza, Don Juan de Dios Larranta, Den Julian
Lopez, Don Pedro Pascual Vela, Don" Juan Escribano,
Don Miguel Ruiz Tagle, Don Francisco Augusto Conte,
Don Jose Lopez Bonal, Don Ignacio Docavo y Casal,
Don Rafael Lobo, Don Jose Antonio de Riano, Don An-
tonio Gargollo, Don Francisco Paul, Don Joaquin and
Don Juan Urtetegui, Don Jose de Abarzuza, Don Jose
Nicolas de Oviodo, Don Juan Bautisto Page, Don San-
tiago Terry, Don Manuel Marzan, Don Antonio de
Zulueta, Don Manuel Velez Rubio, Don Francisco San-
chez del Arco, editor of the National, and Don Fernando
Garcia de Arboleya, editor of the Comercio.
The meeting being opened, Don Jorge Urtetegui an-
nounced in the following terms the object of the proceed-
ings :—The object fur which you have been assembled
on the present occasion is solely to discuss the best means
of establishing association a Spanish to propagate the
doctrines of free trade. In the 17th and 18th centuries
Spain was the first to propose those very doctrines which
other nations have since carried into practice. We them
it is true, held the highest place
.in the commercial
world ; but the liberation of America, and, still Vlore,
our civil and political discords, have since then brought
neglect and ruin upon these sacred interests. Now that
peace is established, and the present dynasty secured by
the union of our Queen with a Spanish prince, it is time
that we occupy ourselves seriously in extending those
principles on which depends the development of the
wealth, happiness, and prosperity of our country ; and it
is also time that our country should know that commerce
is the best promoter of civilisation, and that where it

DEATH OF THE RIGHT HON.

THOMAS GRENVILLE.
This venerable and distinguished statesman expired
at seven o'clock last evening, at the advanced age of 91.
The lamented gentleman had resided for some time
.
back at his town mansion Hamilton-place, and up to
a week since was in the eNoyinent of very good health;
but an ordinary attack of influenza was too much for one
so old, and after a few changes the complaint hastened
to a fatal termination.

The deceased was the second son of the Right
Honourable George Grenville, by the daughter of Sr
William Wyndham, Bart.; consequently he was brother
to the first Marquis of Buckingham, His birth took
place in the month of December, 1755, George 11.
being then the reigning Sovereign. At an early age he
entered the political world, principally, however, direct
ing his attention to diplomatic affairs.
In 1782, a critical period, and when but 27 years of
age, he was appointed to the responsible office of
Ambassador to the court of France. In the March
of that year the Marquis of Rockingham was ap-
pointed Premier, and in the July following he died,
being succeeded by William first Marquis of Lans-
downe. Having completed his term of service in France,
he returned to England, and was returned for the
borough of Buckingham by his kinsman, the Marquis of
Buckingham. In 1790 he was elected for Aldborough.
In 1794 he was appointed by Mr. Pitt Minister Ex-
traordinary to Vienna ; and under the direction of the
same Minister, in 1799, he proceeded to Prussia. In
1800 he was appointed Chief Justice in Erye, South
of Trent. From 1806 to 1807 lie was First Lord of the
Admiralty.
...

Grenville was appointed a member of the Privy
Council in 1798, and, with the single exception cf the
Earl of Harrowby, WRS the oldest member of that body.
He was never married.

CABINET COUNCIL.

- - -•
Summonses were issued yesterday to all the Cabinet
Ministers, to attend a Cabinet Council this after-
noon at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. All
the Ministers were expected to be present with
the exception of Lord CLANRICARDB and Mr. LA-
BOUCLIERE, who are both out of town.

SIIAKSPEEE was right in saying that troubles
come not singly, but in battalions. The private ex-
perience of each individual is illustrating this truth
incessantly. The national experience of all times and
of all countries has placed the accuracy of that aphorism
beyond a doubt. In the recent accession of misery
to Poland we have foreseen a speedy extension of its
sufferings. So much temerity in the associated
despots of northern Europe was, we felt satis-
fied, only the prelude to the exhibition
of still great temerity from one or other of them in-
dividually. These anticipations have not been
illusory—those fears for the shadow of nationality
which has hitherto been preserved to the Poles have
not proved chimerical. A still more heinous viola-
tion of international honour, of the code of humanity,
of the divinest principles enforced by the spirit
of the Christian religion, is meditated. It
is not only meditated, it is inevitable . The seizure of
Cracow is to be followed by a deed more guilty and
more damning than any yet perpetrated against that
people, Which under the banners of SOBIESKI saved
Europe from the doom of infidelity, f-ot the decrees
of theannxati Koran, from the sword of the
. Paynim. The
on of the Cracovian territory is only a prelimi-
nary to the incorporation of the Polish dominions to the
empire of Russia !

of the former, the CZAR has endeavouredtopurehase from the

What will be the consequence of this odious com-
pact on the part of the Austrian Emezrtoa ? Why,

and also for a new triaLi f: Their Lordships were of

THE SPANISH DEBT.'

The Madrid correspondent of the Morning Chronicle
communicates the following extract from a letter of Mr.
Cobden's, addressed to Mr. Henderson, from Cadiz, in
reply to a letter received from the latter gentleman. Mr.
Cobden says, " You are strong in the justice of your
claim, and you must try everry appeal to the honour and
honesty of Spaniards, and, if necessary, endeavour to
shame them into the payment of their debts. I agree
with your circular as to the ability of the Government
to meet its engagements, provided ordinary talent and
integrity preside over its finances. Never was there a
country whose resources were so neglected and wasted
as those of Spain. Its tariff is a ruinous farce, fulfilling
no rational object, but failing ridiculously as a measure
of protection, as a means of revenue, and as a national
policy. Instead of affording the proposed protection to
the Catalans, everybody (manufacturers included) in
Spain is an avowed contrabandist when opportunity
offers; and I am convinced that a duty of 20 per cent.
on foreign goods, honestly levied, with the accompanying
facilities to the Catalonians for the free admission of
their raw materials, would be more favourahle to the
manufacturers than the present system. Ido not thill
you overrate the direct
loss to the revenue from the
prohibitive tariff. While in Madrid I had the opportu-
nity of speaking to M. Mon upon this point. I told him
if he would farm his customs duties for 20 years I would
undertake to guarantee him four times the amount of net
revenue at present derived from that source, upon one
condition only, that I should be allowed to reduce the
duties at discretion, but not to have the power of in-
creasing the taxes upon any article in the tariff. Indi-

THAMES.

The officers, crew, and others belonging to the Glenelg
frigate, formerly an East Indianaln, and which was fitted
out for the purpose of an invasion of the Ecuador, and
seized by the Government for an infringement of the
Foreign Equipment and Enlistment Act, came to this
court in a body, for the purpose of seeking redress at
the hands of Mr. Ballantine, the magistrate, for what
they considered an illegal and tyrannical act on the
part of her Majesty's Government, in ejecting them
from the ship by force., This proceeding was effected
yesterday morning at ten o'clock by Mr. Forsayth, an
officer of the Customs, who was attended by upwards of
one hundred of the Thames and K divisions of police.
Resistance was anticipated, but the appearance of the
Custom-house officers and police in such great numbers,
and an intimation that more force was at hand had the
desired effect. After some wrangling, the officers and
crew, together with the emigrants and recruits, were
ejected from the ship. They immediately proceeded to
the Thames Police-court, and the passages and avenues
leading to it were for some time blocked up by the
motley group of adventurers. With the exception of
the officers and sailors, a more wretched-looking set of
men were never collected together. It was said that a
majority of them hsd been inmates of various metro-
politan workhouses before they joined General Flores'
expedition.

After the disposal of the night charges, Mr. Vissey,
a solicitor, who was accompanied by several gentlemen,
addressed the magistrate, and said he had an application
to make on behalf of the officers and crew of the ship
Glenelg. which had been seiz.d by the Custom-houie
authorities, acting under instructions from her Majesty's
Government. He regretted to say that he had only just
been consulted, and was not prepared with a detailed
statement of the case, which he understood was one of
peculiar hardship. Ho would therefore call upon Mr.
Briggs, the second officer of the ship, who would make
a statement of a very startling nature.
Mr. Briggs said, that Mr. Forsayth boarded the Glenelg
at breakfast time, and in a very rude and uncourteous
manner ordered every one in the ship to leave her di-
rectly, and would not allow the officers to finish their
meal, or any of the paople to pack up their clothes and
goods. He was sure that Mr. Forsayth was in a state of
intoxicSion, and on his being remonstrated with, and

LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1846.

_ Despotism, in grasping at the last fragment of Po-
land, has endangered the retention of all its previous
spoil. By their outrageous violation of all laws, both
'lnman and divine, the laws of honour, of humanity,
of justice, and of Christianity, Russia, Prussia, and
Austria, have aroused in the western states of Europe
:an indignation which cannot easily be allayed. They
have thrown aside the flimsy mask by which their
hypocrisy had been hitherto but slightly aided. They
have even cast to the winds the supposititious sanctity
(f their own compacts, and have shown in a strik-
lag manner that the most solemn stipulations of
tyrants are as false as dicers' oaths. According to a
respectable adage, we may discover " honour amongst
thieves," but not all the proverbs of %cox, nor all
the maxims of ROCHEFOUCAULT could persuade us
that any such redeeming quality is discernable
amongst despots. History has proved the contrary
during successive generations. The rupture of trea-
ties from the earliest to the latest times may be de-
fined as the immediate cause of international hos-
tilities—from the Punic wars to the Napoleon
wars, from the days of NIMRoD down
to those of MASSENA. The recent proceed-
ings in Iberia and Galicia cannot therefore be
to us matters of astonishment. They are as explicable
as the effects produced by the simplest chemical expe-
riments. We cannot feel in any degree amazed that
the brother of the imperial egoist, ALEXANDER, and
the descendant of the ruthless CATHERINE, should
connive at the final robbery of Poland. We cannot
feel in any degree surprised that his accomplices are
a son of the false-hearted FRANCIS, and a descendant
from that great FREDERICK who tarnished his mili-
tary glory by forcing upon Rolland a Stadtholder
althorred by the population. NICHOLAS has a por-
tionof that blood in his veins which flowed in those
of his predecessor, when the latter held communion

TO THE LADIES,

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, In having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than
t ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies woild gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above facts.— 3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops ot the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turtling grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the tirOWll of the hea!; if v ry bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cass relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's he,ds in a few appplications. It used on Infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar enoling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—bee

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)

William Gibbs was charged with stealing two loaves,
of the value of Bd. and 71d., the property of Samuel
Slade.

The prosecutor's servant said he was out with the
barrow serving customers, when the prisoner stele the
bread dining the time he was in the area of one of the
houses he stopped at.
Mr. GREENWOOD inquired the cause of the prices of
each loaf being different ?
The witness rtplied that the high-priced bread was
what was called " home-made," and they always charged
frsm a halfpenny to a penny more for it than they did
for the other hind.

The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
John Francis was charged with stealing a loaf of the
value of 61d., the property of Edward I3urge, baker, of
No. 5, Alpha-place, Chalk-road.
The facts of the case were of the ordinary description,
the prisoner going to the prosecutor's shop in the even-
ing, about five o'clock, and snatching from the window
the loaf, with which he ran off.

Mr. GREENWOOD, upon examining the loaf, which was
of the same size, and apparently of the same quality as
that valued at Bd. in the last charge, inquired of Mrs.
Burge, who appeared to prosecute, how it was that there
was such a difference between the price of a loaf in the
Kingsland-read and the Chalk-road ? How could Mr.
Burge sell it so cheap as 6id.?
Mrs. Burge said, please your worship, the reason we
can sell it so cheap is because it is " home made," and
we always charge less for it than we do for the other.
Mr. GREENWOOD pronounced himself as unenlight-
ened as before with respect to the causes of the rise and
fall in the price of bread.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial on this
charge, but was ordered to be brought up again on Mon-
day, in consequence of some property being found upon
him which was suspected to have been stolen.

DISTUUBANCES IN TUE COUNTIES OF CORK

AND WATERFORD.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 27.—Thi, Cork CoratitaLn, received
in town this mornieg, contains accounts of food riots at
Kilwurth, the residence of Lord Mountcashell; at
Castlemartyr; the seat of Lord Shannon ; at Fertnoy ;
and further particulars of the desperate riot ut Youghal,
reported yesterday. •
At Loughrea, in the county Galway, on Wednesday
last, a large body of wretched men marched through the
streets, in procession ; at the head of which was carried
a loaf of bread mounted on a pole. Their cry was for
" work," or food. The ham st is now in, and the potatoes
rotten in the ground ; there is not, in ~.:onsequence, either
farm labour at n hich to zPPgage the peasant, or food to
give him in txchange for any trifle of money he may
have had the singular good fortune to save.
A correspondent, writing from Clifden, county Gal-
way, states that at a baronial sessions, held in that town
on Wednesday, " the Court House was crowded to ex-
cess, and outside there could not be lk ss than 15,000
persons. Very great confusion prevailed during the
proceedings, as the people were under the impression
that nothing was about to be done for their relief, and it
was only after three Roman Crtholic clergymen ad-
dressed the people in Irish that order could he obtained.
Grants to the amount of 40,000/. were passed. A sum
of 1001. was voted in aid of the erection of a chapel at
Ballinafad upon the application of the Rev. Mr.
O'Malley."
From the county Limerick we learn that a large party
of men attacked six car loads of oats which were being
conveyed from Croom to the Limerick market. They
ripped the sacks open—swearing no corn should be
taken out of the country. Three firkins of butter were
also destroyed near that city. From the excitement
among the people serious apprehensions are felt. All
classes are Calling upon the Board of Works to fiat the
presenments without further delay, or the consequences
may be fatal to the peace of that part of the country.
It is rumoured that riots have also occurred at Castle-
martyr, and that Lord Shannon had cent to Youghal for
troops. Cloyne is also said to be disturbed. In
Youghal the greatest apprehension is felt that the
county of Waterford men will be in in great numbers on
the morrow.

THE JAPANESE LANGUAGE.—The language of
Japan is..radically different from the Chinese, and is rich
in grammatical forms and flexions, of which the Chinese
is almost totally destitute ; the syntasical construction
of the words also departs wholly from the Chinese, but
in what family of languages the Japanese should be
classed is not yet determined, as it seems to hold as
isolated a place among the languages of Asia as the
Basque does among those of Europe. In the year 660
8.C., Zin-mu, the founder of the Japanese empire, settled
in the island of Nippon, in the province of Jamato,
where, ever since, the purest dialect of the Japanese has
been spoken. In the northern and southern parts of the
empire the language is not so pure, owing to frequent
immigrations and intercourse with strangers. The old
dialect, in all its purity, still prevails in poetry, and ev,n
at the Court of the Emperor attempts are still made to
keep up its use. The works of Confucius were translated
into Japanese in the third century of the Christian era,
but it was not till the sixth century, owing to the intro-
duction of Buddhism from China, that the study of the
Chinese language was universally diffused, so that every
Japanese who has the least pretensions to belong to the
educated classes, is perfectly master of the Chinese, as
well as of his own language. The Chinese characters
are used by the Japanese, but only to express sounds.
The learned German, Von Siebold, is the first who has
devoted himself, con amore, to the study of the language
and literature of Japan, of which his masterly work,
"Nippon," gives striking proofs. Siebold had the good
fortune to meet with much support from Mr. Medhurst,
the English missionary at Batavia, and is said to be now
engaged in the service of the English missionaries in
that quarter.

THE GREAT BRITAIN.

-----
LIVERPOOL., TUESDAY, P.31.—N0 further accounts
have reached town to-day from the Great Britain. It is
apprehended that the strong winds with which the
Channel was yesterday visited may have occasioned
further injury to the stip. To-day, however, the
weather has again moderated to a gentle breeze from
the north-west, and better anticipations are indulged in.
The catastrophe still remains a subject of wide in-
terest. Inquiries are constantly being made as to the
cause, and the most contradictory statements are cur-
rent. On the one hand, an assertion is made that the
Isle of Man was distinctly seen, and that therefore the
plea of the light of St. John's being mistaken for that of
u
n.
the Calf of Man is unwarranted; on the other, it is
asserted that the island was not seen. By others the
catastrophe is ascribed to the effects produced upon the
screw.compass
