DUNST-BLE RAILWAY COM-
PANY.

Aspecial general meeting of the proprietors of the above
undertaking was held yesterday afternoon, at the offices
of the London and North-Western Company, Euston-
square, for the purpose of considering an offer made by
that company for the purchase of the line ; Mr. George
Stephenson, the chairman of the board of directors, in
the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the offer of the London
and North-Western Company was to refund them all
the mercy they had expended, take upon themselves the
debts and liabilities of the company, and pay them four
per cent. on the whole. The terms must be con-
sidered as exceedingly good, because it was pretty clear
that the line would not, as an independent line,'yield any
profit to the purchasers, and he was quite convinced, if
they kept it in their own hands, they would lose money
by it.
The terms were considered highly favourable, and
were unanimously agreed to, and a vote of thanks having
been carried to the Chairman, the meeting separated.

FINE ARTS.

PORTRAIT OF FIELD - MARSHAL HIS
GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
Engraved by Wagstaff from a Painting by Count

D'Orsay.
Count D'Orsay has here produced the most truthful
and characteristic portrait of the Duke of- Wellington
that has ever been published. It is not merely a fac-
simile of the features of the Duke, but it is a perfect
transcript of the expression of ban the features and
the figure of the Duke, and all who have seen
the Duke even only once •annot fail to be struck with
the remarkable and characteristic expression of his
figure. The portrait was painted during the course of
the present summer. Count D'Orsay bad the advantage
of several sittings from his Grace, who has, we understand,
expressed himself highly satisfied both with the picture
and the engraving. The engraving is one of the finest
ever produced. Asa uock of art it is most valuable—as
an accurate likeness of " the foremost man of all this
world," it is invaluable.

stooping, stood full six feet high; others did not pass the
military standard fur infantry. They are assembled,

act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by Its perusal
many questions mny be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-

FRANKS on URINO-GENITAL DISEASES.
Part I. On Gonorrhma and (fleet, exemplifying the influence
of a Scrofulous or Scorbutic state of system in producing those Morbid
Secretions, and showing that the true nature of their diseased action
is irritative, not inflammatory. _ _ _

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will he
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between irritative' and `inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of-
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefhlly
perused Mr. Franks's book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, Inasmuch as the information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind ups-•n the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
From Bell's Life in London.--" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which be has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."

REVIEWS OP THE WORK.

" The author of this singular and talented work is a legally quali-
fied medical man, who has evidently had considerable experience in
the treatment of the various disorders arising from the follies and
frailties of early indiscretion. The engravings are an invaluable ad-
dit'on, by demonstrating the consequences of excesses, which must
act as a salutary warning to youth and maturity, and by its perusal
many questions may be satisfactorily replied to, that admit of no ap-
peal, even to the most confidential friend."—Era.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1846,

Although we have acknowledged the comparative
multiplicity of the promotions in the late brevet, we
have nevertheless felt ourselves compelled to qualify
our gratulations, iu consequence of the many blunders
both of commission and omission which are observable
in their distribution. Granted that the satisfaction of
all parties on the occasion of such an advancement is
a thing almost morally impossible ; granted that no mat-
ter how judiciously the selection niigh t have been made,
there would have inevitably been some malcontents;
granted that the Executive are surrounded on such
an occasion by difficulties so numberless, that mode-
rate oversights must thereby be regarded as in some
=measure accompanied by an irresistible palliation.
We are prepared to make all reasonable allowances
for those who are so difficultly, and we may even say
delicately, situated. We cannot,.. however, remain
indifferent to any
ag.rbierveovuets omissions in a brevet of
this description— longe postponed, and so
tardily granted—we cannot remain indifferent to any
particulars calculated to prove nerpklea and

are ready to confess, and indeed have already We
fessed, that in numerous instances these recent pro.
motions have been characterised by their liberality
and munificence. Nevertheless, it cannot be over-
looked that the disparity of the advancement in the
two professions has been of a most invidious and
almost of an unprecedented kind. Upon this we have

NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS.
At a quarter past one o'clock the Barons left the
Court, and shortly after the Right Hon. Charles Wood,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, entered in his robes,
when the usual oaths of allegiance were administered,
(this being the first term of his year of office) to him by
the Clerk of the Court.

The Right Honourable Gentleman then called upon
Mr. Crampton, the " tub man," if he had any motion
to make, that Learned Gentleman having made a motion,
the Right Hon. Gentleman and the Barons of the Ex-
chequer, withdrew.
Their Lordships entered shortly after, fer the purpose
of ncminating the Sheriffs fur the different counties of
England and Wales. There were present on the bench,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord Chancellor, the
Marquis of Lansdowne. Lord' Denman, Lord Campbell,

COURT OF COMM: N PLEAS. .A'ov P.

EADSFORTH V. FARRER.—THE B ,ROUGH OF LANCASTER, •
Mr. Sergeant BYLES :tppe:tr. h,r the app:-ii,lit ii. the
present case, which was a consolidated one. The point
at issue was, that the respondent, who had object' d to
the appellant's vote, had not, in doing so, properly de-
cribee himself. In cons. quenee of the ehiecti the
appellant's name had been expunged ltorn the regist r.
The Learned Gentlemen quoted the 17th section of the
Registration Act and the decision of the Court in several
eases in support of his arguments.
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE maintoisied that the notice
of objection was go • 'rile real questio:, v, as raised on
the 101st section of the Act, which provided that no
misnomer in any notice should
.invalidate it, provided
what was set forth in it was such as to be commonly un-
derstood. Of this the Revising Barrister could alone at
the time be the judge, and having admitted the notice in
the present cast , it must be taken as fulfilling the condi-
tion of section 101. He submitted, therefore, that the
appeal should be dismissed.
The COURT was of opinion that the notice of objection
given in this case was not sufficient. Under section 101,
though a certain power of interpretation was given to
the Revising Barrister, it did not allow him to dispense
with any of the essential forms given in the statute re-
specting registrations. It was required, specifically, that
in any borough, like the one under consideration, where
there was more than one list Of voters, that the list in
which the name of the objector, appeared, should be
distinctly stated in the notice making the objection.
This had not been the case in the present instance, and,
therefore, the Revising Barrister's decision must be re-
versed, and the name of the appellant placed on the
register.
This decision places 27 votes on the register which
had been expunged.
