YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND

RAIL WAY.

A general desire having been expressed by share-
holders in railway undertakings for an explicit ac-
count of their financial position, the directors of the
York and North Midland Railway, in compliance
with that desire, beg to submit the following state-
ment of the affairs of the company, and the extent of
its liabilities in respect of the works now in progress,
and the completion of such as are at present in con-
templation.

The share capital of the company on which divi-
dend is payable out of the revenue derived from the
lines, comprising the whole of the consolidated stock,
and the East and West Riding shares, on which the
full amount is now called up, is 3,147,5001. Of
this amount, however, 250,0001., being 51. per share
on the East and West Riding capital, will not be
entitled to dividend until next half-year. The loan
capital of the company is at present 1,023,9311.
The amount expended on the lines which have been
constructed or purchased up to the present time (in-
cluding the sums advanced to the Hull and Selby
Company to complete the lines under lease from
them), is 4,290,4151. Se. 4d.

These works being now very nearly completed, the
amount to which the company will be liable in respect
of them can be accurately stated; and estimates have
been prepared of the works required for the extension
from Burton-Salmon to Knottingley, and for that
which will connect the Market Weighton line with
the Hull and Bridlington line near Beverley. The
directors compute the amount which will be required
for all these purposes (after deducting the value of the
surplus land) at 330,0001., making the gross expen-
diture of the company about 4,620,0001. The whole,
when complete, 'will give to the company a total
mileage of 211 miles (exclusive of the Hull and
Selby lines under lease), at an average cost per mile
(after deducting the sums advanced to the Hull and
Selby Company as above-mentioned) of 20,000/. per
mile.

The directors having no present intention of con-
structing the other lines for which powers have been
obtained, the arrears of calls, together with the sum
which the company has yet power to raise on deben-
tures, will amply supply the amount required for
meeting the expenditure above-mentioned.
The directors estimate that the traffic to be derived
from these lines and the lines under lease will pro-
duce a
rate
of 1
grossannualoooo.p
revenue of
and that the working
520,0001., being at
the
expenses will amount to 137,000/. The interest on
debentures, including the sum which will have yet to
be provided for the works before mentioned, will be
66,2811. per annum ; and the annual rent of the Hull
and Selby and Bridlington lines, together with the
interest on debentures on those lines, is 76,5721.
After deducting these charges, a net income of
upwards of 240,0001. will remain applicable to divi-
dends, being more than seven and a half per cent. on
the amount of the share capital. The rate of interest
at present paid on the debentures of the company is
at an average of nearly five per cent. ; but the direc-
tors cannot anticipate that in future years it will
amount to that per tentage. It may fairly be hoped
that in times of crdinary prosperity the loans will be
replaced as they fall due at.a rats of interest not ex-
eeeding four per cent.

The directors feel the greater confidence in their
estimate of the produce of the traffic when they com-
pare it with the receipts of the last twelve months,
during which the traffic on the lines of this company
has suffered not only from the commercial distress
which has generally prevailed, but also from their
peculiar character, a considerable portion being in a
great measure used as pleasure lines to Scarborough,
Harrogate, Bridlington, &c.
The directors have much pleasure in stating that
they have made an arrangement with the Great
Northern Railway Company, by which the two com-
panies will bare mutual advantage in working the
traffic of that line between York and Doncaster
when the intended Knottingley Extension shall be
completed ; and the directors think they are not too
sanguine in expecting that a very considerable amount
of new traffic, both in passengers and minerals, will
be thereby secured to this company, as the traffic
from the districts through which the Great Northern
Line passes will thus be brought to York over 21
miles of the main lino of this company, and a con-
siderable portion distributed on the branch lines.
Part of the traffic of the York and North Midland
line, which was temporarily diverted to the lines on
the western coast previously to the opening of the
bridges across the Tyne and Tweed, may now be
expected to be regained.
A large source of
.traffic has also been recently
opened by the arrangement for the supply of coals
from the north at Hull, and for its shipment at that
port. _ .

The directors have still a confident hope that it
will not be long before the undertaking resumes its
former position with regard to remuneration to the
shareholders. They would remark that an average
increase of 7001. per week in the receipts, which
would not necessarily involve any material increase
of expenditure, would yield 11. per cent. additional
on the share capital, and it affords them groat satis-
faction to know that the new lines, some of which
were forced upon them by the competition of other
parties, have placed this company beyond the possibi-
lity of sustaining injury by their traffic being di-
verted, as they are not aware that any line can pos-
sibly be constructed which will not tend rather to in-
creese than diminish the business on their own lines.

The directors have subscribed 40,0001. to the Mal-
ton and Driffield line, but they have entered into no
engagement with any other company.
The directors having regard to the general inte-
rests arid wishes of the shareholders, do not at present
propose making any calls on the Hull and Selby
purchase (preference) shares. The shareholders
will have observed that the sum of 300,0001. appears
in the last two half-yearly statements of account
as having been appropriated to the general construc-
tion account, on loan from that stock. The
directors are of opinion that the interest on this sum
ought not at present to be paid out of the revenue of
the company
providing rails and other materials
for the extensions about to be made, and the re-
mainder in the construction of lines which are not
yet productive to the company,
and they are con-
firmed in this opinion when they consider that the
i inasmuch as a large proportion of it has
been
dy n
whole amount of interest with which the capital ac-
counthitherto been charged is
of this company has
no more than 6,0851.

RAIL IV A.Y INTELLIGENCE.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.--THE GREAT
TUBULAR BRIDGES.-The final operation of lowering
the second tubular bridge at Conway, for the return line
to London on the Chester and Holyhead Railway, and
the placing it on its permanent bed was accomplished on
Wednesday. The ponderous mass of 1,300 tons was
suspended on chains, hanging and swinging two feet
above its permanent bed, over an area of estuary of 400
feet, and twenty feet above the straits, for a period of ten
days, during which the engineers and pilots were en-
gaged in adjusting the bed plates and rollers and
masonry for its support. The tube was likewise
lengthened twelve feet by the addition of six feet of
similar tube to each end of the mass so raised, this addi-
tional length alone weighing upwards of sixty tons.
Under the direction of Mr. Stephenson, Captain Claxton,
and Mr. Edwin Clark, the whole bridge with its perma-
nent way for the passage of the trains, complete and
ready for use, was then gradually lowered by means of
the hydraulic presses which raised it on the bed of red
and white lead, spread over the creosoted timber, which
South Devon
Railway,
equalised the weight on the cast-iron bed-plates and
rollers, to allow for the constantly varying length of the
tube from changes of temperature. The tube is now in
use for the transit of the trains.

RAIL WAY SHARES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stu,—On the 6th inst. I wrote a few lines to you
on the subject of " bearing " shares, since which the
state of business has proved what I said to be correct.
It has been said over and over again that there was
no stock to be got, as the sellers were all Bears; but
now that the account day has come, it is proved that
there is quite as much stock forthcoming as is wanted,
which is shown by prices having given way in Lon-
don on the buying-in day, and the very small number
of shares bought in in the country exchanges; and
those purchases have been done much lower than they
were at the last account, a fortnight ago. Till the
condition of the country is improved, shares cannot
maintain any advance.—l remain, yours

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The day of sailing of Sir
Charles Napier's squadron is postponed until Wednesday
next, to allow time for the vessels recently commissioned
to complete their outfit and join.
Captain F. P. Blackwood superseded Captain Charles
Eden as Flag-Captain to Sir Bladen Capel, the Com-
mander-in-Chief, on board the Victory, this morning.
On Captain Eden quitting the ship the rigging was
manned by the crew, and three hearty cheers given him,
the band at the same time appropriately striking up "Auld
Lang Syne." Captain Eden is highly respected both
afloat and ashore at this port, and now leaves for the
Admiralty as Private Secretary to the First Lord.
The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master-
Commander Cook, which has been in attendance upon
the Committee of Dockyard Revision at the various ports,
arrived here on her way to Woolwich to-day.
The Myrtle steam-vessel, Master-Commander Ballis-
ton, which was dispatched yesterday week for Jersey,
with Dr. Bradford, of the Blenheim, to render assistance
to the crew of the Seaflower cutter, reported attacked
with cholera, returned here to-day, the report having
proved happily erroneous.
The Rifleman and Sharpshooter's experimental trial,
under Captain Austin, is to continue a week, if that
officer deems it necessary.
Wind N.N.W., light breezes and dark hazy weather.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 11.—Her Majesty's steamer Medina,
from Portsmouth, arriver here on Tuesday, and went up
harbour to coal. She leaves to-morrow with the mails
for the Mediterranean.

Her Majesty's steam-sloop Hermes sailed yesterday
for Portsmouth and Woolwich.
Wind northerly; light breeze.

THE ENTERPRISE AND INVES-

TIGATOR DISCOVERY SHIPS.
The latest intelligence of these vessels, which sailed
from the Thames about the middle of May last in search
of Sir John Franklin, was communicated in our last,
being a dispatch contained in a cask dropped from the
Investigator on the 28th August, and picked up by the
Prince of Wales, Hull whaler, on 2d October. The
Prince of Wales is commanded by Captain Lee, an ad-
venturous veteran, nearly eighty years of age, who, we
understand, has this season made some discovery him-
self, which will be duly forwarded to the Admiralty. The
only chance of any further information this season will
be by the Resolution and Traveller, two whalers,
which, as Sir John Ross mentioned in London last
week, were supposed to have sailed up Lancaster
Sound in August, and have not as yet reached
Englaed. But the accounts are exceedingly
favourable/ so far as they have gone, giving
the best hopes that the Enterprise and Investigator
have got far northward before the close of the season.
We believe the last Brstish vessel which communicated
with the Enterprise and Investigator was the Regalia of
Kirkaldy, commanded by Captain Robb. On the Bth
July, in lat. 72. 55. long. 55. west, Captain Robb, after
a long pull in OW of his boats, came up with Sir James
Ross and Captain Bird, being anxious to give them a
last opportunity of communicating with England. He
found all well and in high spirits, a party of the Investi-
gator's officers having just returned from a shooting ex-
pedition. with a large quantity of ducks and sea fowl,
which, as one of the officers writes, " will be a season-
able addition to their provisions"—an important con-
sideration in their circumstances. Captain Robb had a
long interview with Sir James Ross, the leader of the
expedition, who, as well as his gallant followers, were
sanguine as to success, having that generous confidence
in their own energy which best sustains men in an ar-
duous enterprise of this nature. About sixty letters
from the expedition were brought home by Captain
Robb, who arrived at Kirkaldy a few days since.—Cale-
donian Mercury.

THE WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.—On Tuesday a
meeting of the committee of management of the above
hospital was held in the board• room of the institution,
in the Broad Sanctury, WestrouLtter. The report for
the past year stated that there had been admitted 1,757
in, and 10,172 out-patients; (.1 the latter, including ac-
cidents and urgent cases, admitted without letters of re-
commendation, 6,400;; making a total since the esta-
blishment of 347,277 persons who have participated in
its benefits. For want of funds, four wards, capable
of containing 64 beds, aro closed. Her Majesty is the
patron of the institution, !and an annual subscriber of

THE POLISH BALL.

The civic authorities having, with prescriptive
r liberality, granted the use of the Guildhall for the
purposes of the Polish ball, the event took place last
night. This festival is always one of great interest,
the visitors who attend it being numerous in the
extreme—more than sufficient to fill the spacious hall
and the adjoining chambers, while the amusements
that are provided are not confined to dancing alone,
but are varied with a well selected and attractive
concert. The old features of brilliancy distinguished
it last evening. There were vast numbers present,
including the Lord and Lady Mayoress, Lord Dudley
Stuart, Sir George Carroll, Sir Felix Booth, Bart.,
the French and Sardinian Ambassadors, John Wil-
liams, Esq., M.P., Morgan J. O'Connell, Esq., M.P.,
Mr. Anstey, M.P., the Hon. Mrs. Maberley, the
Hon. Mrs. Erskine, Lady George Stuart, and others
who take an interest in the cause and are disposed to
aid its objects with their countenance and support.
The decorations were bright and splendid. Nothing
had been removed since the banquet of the 9th of
November, and the profusion of gas jets thickly dis-
posed along the mouldings of the panels shed an
exhilarating lustre over the scene, the glittering star
and trophies at the west end of the hall forming a
nucleus towards which the eye turned with intense
gratification.
The concert took place in the Council Chamber.
The vocalists consisted entirely of English artists, all,
with characteristic generosity, giving their services
gratuitously. We did not hear the performances
under any circumstances of comfort, owing :to the
pressure that prevailed at the entrances, but the
voices of Miss Dolby, the Misses Williams, Miss
Ransford, Miss Bassano, Mrs. Weiss, Miss
ement,
Miss Miram, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Bodda, Mr.
Whitworth, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Weiss, reached
us from the distance, and we can bear testimony to
the pleasure which the efforts of these able singers
occasioned. Between the parts M. Chopin played a
series of etudes upon the pianoforte, with all his
graceful skill and exquisite refinement of style. We
should, however, have listened to him with more sa-
tisfaction in the retirement of the drawing-room than
amid such a disturbed and unreflecting multitude as
this. The qualities which give him his special
charm are too delicate and intellectual to challenge
the favour of a crowd bent chiefly on physical enjoy-
ment.

We do not know the precise 'number of guests
who supported the undertaking with their presence,
but there did not seem to be any diminution of that
patronage which has for so many years been be-
stowed upon this charitable reunion. Sundry efforts
have lately been made to invalidate the claims of
these suffering foreigners, and to check the current of
sympathy in their behalf, but whether the arguments
ivhich have been advanced are worthy of considera-
tion or not, there can be no question of the philan-
thropic honesty of the promoters of the ball, and of
the sincerity of their wish to succour the unfortunate
and distressed. It is, therefore, gratifying to find
that the original spirit of benevolence which sugges-
ted the establishment of the Association of the Friends
of Poland is still existent, and that those destitute
exiles, whose only crime is patriotism, have yet bene-
factors in this country who can appreciate the degra-
dation of their position, and feel for their un-
happy necessities in a foreign land. Lord Dudley
Stuart, whose zeal in the cause has scarcely a parallel
in the records of humanity, has published a strong
appeal in favour of the Association, and therein taken
occasion to defend its objects from the cold and selfish
criticisms of a powerful contemporary. In reverting
to the " facts of the case," he states that " some few
years ago there were about 700 Poles receiving a
weekly allowance from the treasury, and about 60
or 70 whose cases did not come within the rules of

the treasury, and who formed a sort of supplemen-
tary body, and received weekly relief from the Asso-
ciation of the Friends of Poland. The number of
the former is now reduced to about 850, and that
of the latter to about 30. The weekly allowances
are, however, very small, for no man, let his rank
in the army or in society be what it may (and some
of them are of high rank), receives more than 15s.
per week, while captains and subalterns receive
but 10s. a week, and privates only ss. 3d.
* * * * The money collected at the ball is em-
ployed by the Association—first, in these small al-

low-ances to those not on the Government list, and,
next, in furnishing extra assistance to all Poles of good
conduct who may be overtaken by sickness, accident,
or any casualty. These, surely, are proper objects ;
and those who employ in this manner funds collected
at an entertainment which affords amusement to a

large number of persons, and occasion a good deal of 1
money to be circulated, seem rather to deserve encou-
ragement than censure."
In another place his Lordship observes with earnest
eloquence, "The Poles, therefore, who are here do
not reside here, as some seem to suppose, because they
find it an eligible country, but because they cannot do
otherwise ; for, let it be recollected, Prussia and
Austria, while they admit Poles who belong to that
part of Poland which is subject to them, do not admit
Poles belonging to that part subject to Russia.i France
supports a large number of Poles ; but, not choosing
to augment the number, does not admit Poles
coming from England—and some who have this suzn-
mer attempted to go there have been sent back. Shall
we not assist those foreigners, thus compelled to re-
main among us, to a bit of bread ? Shall we not care
for :them in their nakedness, their infirmity, their
sickness, their old age ? It is for men in such condi-
tion that our exertions are made, that our funds are
expended, and not for the encouragement of revolu-
tion or disorder. Some are indisposed to assist the
Poles on account of their conduct on the Continent.
Those who allege such a reason are bound, I think, to
state what they believe the Poles to have done wrong ;
else they will be open to the charge of vague preju-
dice. Ido not mean to say that every Pole is imma-
culate. But I really do not know that anything can
be laid to their charge as a body. They have
,been
grossly calumniated with regard to their conduct in
Prussia; but I believe that the press of this country,
which last summer repeated stories about them invented
by their German enemies, was grossly deceived on
the subject ; and all those who have taken pains to
inquire into the matter are now convinced that they
were guiltless of the atrocities laid to their charge,
and at all events much more sinned against than
sinning. I know they are considered by many as
turbulent, unquiet spirits. For my part, I own, I think
it is surprising they are not much more so. If you
maltreat people, enslave, oppress, and studiously de-
moralise them, deprive them of their country, perse-
cute their religion, proscribe their language, and take
from them every motive and incitement to be good
citizens, or suffer those things to be done, you must
not be surprised if those people are restless, unquiet,
disaffected, or reckless; if they are filled with resent-
ment and ready for any change. We ought not to
withhold sympathy from the many for the faults of
the few, or punish the uno'ending for the misdeeds of
the guilty. Shall the Poles in England, whose con-
duct has been exemplary, be denied assistance be-
cause some other Poles in some other places are
alleged to have done something worthy of reprobation?"

ST. CLEMENT DANES.—Last night a vestry meet-
ing was held to receive the report of the committee ap-
pointed on the 2d instant, respecting the office of vestry
clerk, and to consider and decide what should be done
relative thereto, Mr. Churchwarden R. J. P. Jaquet in
the chair. Mr. Edwards read the report of the com-
mittee. It spoke in biles highly eulogistic of the late
vestry clerk, Mr. Steele, and expressed sincere regret
that ill-health had deprived the parish of his valuable
services—services always characterized by integrity,
zeal, and honour. The report then detailed the duties
of the vestry clerk, and recommended that in future the
salary should be 90/. a year, instead of 100 guineas as
hitherto. After some discussion it was, however, de-
cided by a large majority that the salary should be 100
guineas as heretofore. The vestry then proceeded to
elect a vestry clerk, and on the votes being taken there
appeared—For Mr. Scorn, 90; Mr. Isaacson, 49; Mr.
Murrough, 38; and Mr. Bisgood, 8. A poll was then
demanded on behalf of those who were lowest on the
list, which it was agreed should be taken on Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday next.
CALEDONIAN SOCIETY.—The anniversary dinner of
this society took place yesterday evening at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Captain Lamont, R N.,
presided, and was supported by Major Adair, Captain
Smith, R.N., Mr. Hepburn, and other friends of the in-
stitution. The objects of the society are to support and
educate, and eventually to apprentice, the children of
poor Scotch parents resident in London, in order to pre-
vent their becoming burdensome to the parishes. It was
stated in the course of the proceedings that a fund had
been opened in connexion with the society, with the ob-
ject of apprenticing children who were educated in the
institution, and the Vice-President expressed an earnest
hope that this project would be supported by the Scotch
residents in the metropolis. The proceedings of the
evening were enlivened by the singing of the Misses
Birch; and by the performance of several national and
popular airs by the juvenile pipers and band of the
Asylum, headed by Mr. A. Mackay, the Queen's piper.
Mr. Higgs officiated as toastmaster.
Evidence is being taken by a solicitor with respect
to the bribery practised at the recent municipal elections;
and we are assured that there is no doubt that actions
can be successfully sustained. not simply against parties
hired to take the responsibility of dangerous acts, but
against persons who have furnished the means fur buy-
ing
" free and independent electors." Of the details of
the cases we know nothing; but that bribery is carried
on to an enormous extent is as notorious as that Lincoln
Cathedral stands on the top of the hill; and it is well
known that there is no road for any person to the Council
table except by purchase. The usual shield adopted is
payment fur loss of the voter's time; but in many cases
the sum of 10s. or 12s. is given for a vote. Houses too
are let upon the condition that the landlord shall have the
disposal of the votes.—Stan ford Mercury.
DEATH OF JOHN FENNY, M.D.—This venerable
gentleman, the oldest meml,er of the medical depart-
ment of the British army, died a few days since, at his
tesidence, Roy al Hospital, Kilmainham, Dublin, at the
advanced age of 92, and after a service of many years;
he having, indeed, been connected with the medical de-
partment of the army from boyhood.

BURNING OF A THEATRE IN
GLASGOW.
This day (Wednesday) at half-past one o'clock, a fire
broke out in the Adelphi Theatre, at the foot of Salt•
market-street, and in a few minutes took such a hold of
the immense building, that before the lapse of thirty
minutes it was entirely destroyed. It is not known at
present how the fire originated, but it is certain that at
half-past one o'clock the passengers in that direction
were alarmed by the shrieks of some women in the
neighbourhood, who pointed to the top of the theatre as
if something extraordinary had caught their attention,
and on looking to the roof of the wooden front a volume
of clear white smoke was perceived issuing therefrom,
which was immediately succeeded by a flash of
fire, and in less than five minutes the entire top
of the building was in a blaze. An alarm, of course,
was quickly conveyed to the different police offices,
but before the arrival of the fire engines all
prospect of saving any part of the property was hope-
less ; the heat, in fact, was so intense, that the men con-
nected with the brigade could not stand nearer than
twenty or thirty feet from the burning pile. The sight,
we need scarcely say, was fearfully grand and imposing,
the flames belched forth as if from a furnace, and
mounted in volumes far above all the surrounding build-
ings. In a few minutes after the occurrence, thousands
of spectators speedily thronged aroand the spot, whose
faces, from the intensity of the heat, were scorched, as
if subjected to the rays of a summer sun. Even as far
back from the building as the gaol, fully 100 yards, the
crowd of onlookers were at one time unable to bear the
heat, but had to betake themselves to greater
distances. To-add to the appalling appearance of the
scene, the wooden buildings used as stores and theatri-
cal booths along part of Green-street, opposite the Adel-
phi, took fire, and required the utmost efforts of the
fire brigade to prevent them communicating with the
English Chapel, and the other valuable stone edi-
fices at the foot of the Saltmarket-street. At the hour
we write, part of the ruins of the theatre are still burn-
ing, and the firemen are busily engaged in extinguishing
the flames in the wooden stores. No such conflagration
has occurred in Glasgow, for extent, rapidity, and strik-
ing effect, since the destruction of the City Theatre,
which was burned on the Green, near the same place.
The theatre, we understand, was not insured, the fire
insurance offices having refused to have anything to do
with it since the burning of Cooke's and Anderson's
wooden buildings on the Green. The principal losers,
therefore, will be the parties who had shares in the
building, and Mr. Calvert, the lessee, along with his
corps dranu2tique, who, by this unfortunate casualty, have
lost a quantity of their little properties. The building,
although composed entirely of wood, must have been
worth several thousand pounds, as a great many
important additional alterations were lately made
upon it along with the fitting up of the new
scenery, &c. During the time the blaze lasted,
which would be about twenty-five minutes, the shop-
keepers and others at the foot of Saltmarket-street were
fearful for their premises being ignited, but fortunately
the weather was calm, and there being little or no wind,
the flames shot almost directly upwards. Had it been
otherwise, the consequences would have been dreadful,
or had it accidentally happened at night, when the per-
formances were going on, hundreds of lives must have
been sacrificed. As it is, we rejoice that no person has
been injured, although at the time, or shortly previous,
the actors were at rehearsal. It is rather an odd cir-
cumstance, in connexion with the burning of the theatre,
that a piece illustrative of " the burning of the Ocean
Monarch," was announced as in preparation, and to be
brought out at the Adelphi with thrilling effects. The
cause of the fire has not been ascertained. Some allege
that it arose from an escape of gas, but be this as it
may, there can be no doubt that it originated in the
front, and commenced apparently immediately above the
portico.—Third Edition of the Glasgow Chronicle.

SPILSBY.—SALE OF A "%Vim—One of these dis-
graceful proceedings, happily now of rare occurrence,
took place in the public market here on Monday last. A
person named Charles Mays, of Bratoft, brought his wife
in a halter decorated with pink ribbon, and sold her for
two shillings to William Bailey, a sweep, from Sleaford.
The bargain, however, had been no sooner completed
than Mr. Chambers. police-officer, from Burgh, who had
watched the proceedings, apprehended the whole party,
and immediately proceeded with them to the magistrates'
office, where both buyer and seller were committed for
trial at the sessions. The woman was discharged.
DEATH OF a Mvssit.—Last evening an inquest was
held on the body of David Thomas, aged 75, formerly a
solicitor but lately a money lender. The witnesses
stated, that although possessed of immense wealth, his
habits were most penurious, and that his favourite din-
ner was half of a red herring. On beiag taken ill, he
peremptorily refused to incur the expense of medical
advice. Mr. Charles Croft, surgeon, proved that the
deceased died from exhaustion, consequent upon bron-
chitis and the want of proper food. Verdict—" Died
from natural causes."

WONDERFUL ESCAPR.— Last week, a dog, belonging
to Mr. Charles Clarke, of Boston, was walking on the
East Lincolnshire line, near the town, when a down train
came up and frightened him, The dog started forward
at full speed, and was presently met by an up-train; he
now turned round, but the up-train soon overtook him,
and he cowed down between the rails, whilst the train
rapidly passed over him, and the poor animal escaped
uninjured. _

JUVENILE REFUGE ♦RD SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY,
MANCHESTER.—The supporters of this institution,
which has now been established for two years, held a
public meeting in the Town Hall yesterday morning,
the Bishop of Manchester in the chair. The attendance
was numerous and respectable. Lord Mahon, the Mayor,
the Rev. Hugh Stowell, the Rev. Canon Clifton, and
several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. Much
good has already attended the labours of this society,
and it is intended to increase their number in the city.
It is said that Jenny Lind and her partners,
Messrs. Lumley and Knowles, netted 10,0001. m a fort-
night, in poor distressed Ireland !
There are already eight manufactories of Woollen
cloths, tweeds, and blanketings, in New South Wales and
Port Philip.
Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Earle have
appointed the sth day of December next, at Cheater
Castle, to hold the winter assizes for the county of
Chester. A winter assize is also to be held at Liver-
pool and York.

The Glasgow Skating Club meets every day while
the frost continues, on Hogganfield Loch, each day at
two o'clock. The ice is strong and in good condition.
SELLING HORSES BY WEIGHT.—On Thursday last
Mr. Fickling, dealer, of Brandon, who attends that
market, offered two young colts for sale, for 121, but
finding no person willing to purchase at that price, he
either offered, or was offered, ss. per stone for them,
which he accepted. The colts were taken to Lakenheatl;
next day, when the weight was found to be 65 stone,
which, at ss. per stone, amounted to 161. 55., thus real-
ising a good profit to the seller, and not making so cheap
a bargain to the buyers as was expected by the contract-
ing parties.—Bury and Suffolk Herald.

On Thursday afternoon, a very sudden death oc-
curred at Greenock. Captain Hugh M'Gregor and his
wife were on their way to visit the grave of a lately-
deceased daughter, wi o is interred in the cemetery,
when, in passing along Roxburgh-street, Mr. M'Gregor
felt his lady make, as he thought, a false step, and on
on looking on her she was falling to the ground. He
took hold of her, but after a sigh or two she expired.
Medical aid was got, but was of no avail.—G&ssiete
Constitutional.

Admiral Sir C. :Ogle, Bart., the late commander-
in-chief at Portsmouth, has presented to Mr. Eames, the
secretary of the Royal Naval School, an elegant silver
teapot, on which the following inscription is engraved:—
" Presented by Sir C. Ogle, Bart., to A. J. S. Eames,
Esq., on his marriage, as a token of regard for his able
and indefatigable exertions during a service of seventeen
years, and the excellent judgment he showed, on several
trying occasions, while Sir C. Ogle was the president of
the institution."
RETURN OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON FROM
WALMER CASTLE.—Last evening the Noble Duke ar-
rived in town by the 5, 45, r.ar. train, at the London-
bridge terminus of the South-Eastern Railway from
Weimer Castle. His Grace appeared in excellent spi-
rits, and was loudly cheered on leaving the station.
Mdlle. Jenny Lind is about to honour Manchester
with another visit. Having offered her distinguished
aid for the benefit of the Royal Infirmary, two grand
concerts are to be held—the first on the 19th of Dec.,in the Concert-hall (which has been offered for th
occasion), and the second on some day not yet decided
on, in the Free Trade-hall (which has also been offered
gratuitously). Arrangements are being made on an
extensive scale to secure the most efficient and talented
performers for the occasions.

OPENING OF A NEW RAGGED .SCHOOL.—Last
night a public muting to celebrate the opening of the
ragged school under the Royal Infirmary for the Dis-
eases of Children in the Waterloo-road, was held at the
York.road Chapel, Lambeth; Mr. Benjamim Hawes,
M.P., iu the chair. The Chairman said, the great friend
of ragged schools was and is Lord Ashley. To his
Lordship were entirely owing the measures which had
been taken to reward those scholars who showed the
best conduct and greatest diligence, by fitting them to
gain Lan honest livelihood in the distant colonial pos-
-1 sessions of this empire.—(Hear, hear.) This fact,

(Cheers.) The secretary stated that the school would
be opened on Sunday, and on evenings during the week.
In the course of a few weeks it Kill be opened as a
regular day school. After having been addressed by
several clergymen and gentlemen, the meeting sepa-
rated.

EMIGRATION.—PLYMOUTLI7 Nov. 15. The Pa.
kenham emigrant ship, Boyce commander, arrived here
yesterday, from Liverpool, bound for Adelaide. The
Osprey, Honeymoon, and Britannia, Robson, both from
London, to embark emigrants for :Port Philip, arrived
here to-day, and will take in their passengers forthwith.
ROXBURGLISHIRE, Nov. 13.—The weather is fa-
vourable for buck-end ploughing and other agricultural
operations. We have mild frosts, which is admitting of
an entire clemance of the ;outstanding beans and peas,
which have been so much exposed. The glass is rising,
and it looks like a set•in of that fine sort of weather
which we frequently enjoy in the month of October.
HAMPSTEAD SACRED CDORAL INSTITUTION.—This
society held its tenth open meeting on Tuesday evening
last, in the Boys' National School"room. The perform-
ante consisted chiefly of selections from Handel, and
I evidently gave the greatest satisfaction to a numerous and
highly-respectable audience. The president, the Rev. T
Ringer, rector of the perish, spoke in the highest terms
of the institution.
