(lay at the otrAces, Great U.orge•street ; Mr. Malins iu the
chair.

The report stated that the directors hoped that the time
was now not far distant, should the anticipations of a
speedy termination of the war he happily realised, wken
they might safdy give the order to begin this undertaking,
the value and importance of which were universally ad-
mitted.

The capital account showed that 122,936/. had been re-
ceived and 36,9:16/, expanded, leaving a balance of 71,250/.
in the hands of the Acconntant•General and 14,683/. at

stated by some of the shareholders that there were rumours
to the effect that there never had been any serious intention
of constructing the line.
Ultimately it was resolved not to receive the report, but
to adjourn the meeting for a couple of months.

SIR JAMES MACKINTOSH.

" Of all those whose conversation is referred to by Moore,
Sir Jas. Mackintosh was the ablest, the most brilliant, end
the best idortned. A competent ju,lr iu this matter,
Sydney Smith, has said, "fill subdued by age and illness,
his conversation was more brilliant and instructive than
that of human being I ever had the good fortune to be ac-
quainted with.' His stores of learning were vast, and of
those kinds which, both is serious and re light conversa-
tion, are most available. He was profoundly acquainted
with the doctrines of the ancient sects of philosophy and
the mcdern churches of Christianity, and he so tempered,
assisted, and controlled his memory by his judgment, that
if he were referred to on any disputed point, his answer would
give, not merely the fact, but a condensed argument on the
controversy. So that not only was the hearer correctly in-
formed of the exact nature of the tenet which he inquired
about, but such light was thrown upon it that he could ac-
count for its rise, its prevalence, and its tendency, without
further investigation. This information too, which no book

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

COMMITTEE ON THE ADULTERATION OF FOOD, DRINKS
AND DRUGS.—This committee, le-appointed from las
session, re-assembled yesterday, for the first time, to
continue thtir inquiry —Mr. Seholefield in the chair
The other members being L:-)rd Goderich, Lori C. Ha
milton, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Lockart, Mr
Gregson, Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Peacocke, and Mr. Swift.
Dr. Taylor, the well-known analytical chemist, under-
went a long examination. It was for the committee to
determine whether the remedy for adulteration rested
with the Legislature or the public. The quack medicines
so largely sold in the present day contained very drastic
purgatives,' and as they were frequently used indiscri-
minately for all diseases, were very injurious to health.
He was of opinion that the adoption of the French sys-
tem in cases of detected adulteration would be desirable,
as well as the establishment of a central board in Lon-
don for general public supervision. Mr. Alison, an ex-
tensive tea merchant, established for upwards of twenty
years in Gracechurch-street, deposed to a belief that the
,tate►nents made before the committee last se-lion were
itirely untrue and got up ; that tea was generally pure ;
and that he would challenge the previous witnesses to
produce two pounds cf adulterated tea in the town. It
was ail assumption to say that sugar was adulterated to
the extent of ten per cent.
COMMITTEE ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PUBLIC PRO-
SECUTOR.—This committee, re-appointed from last ses-
sion, to consider the expediency of establishing a Minister
of Justice, met, but did not make a quorum.

DEATII OF REAR-ADMIRAL CIODBY.

Retired Rear-Admiral John Hardy Godby (1850) died,
on the 25th inst., at Surbiton, Kingston-on-Tha,enes.
This officer wai son of the late John Godby, Esq.,
steward of the Royal H )spital, Greenwich, and cousin
of Captain John Duff Markland, R.N. We extract the
following account of his services from O'Byrne's Naval
Biography :
" This officer entered the navy June 23, 1794, on
board the Monarch, 74, Captain John Cooke, bearing
the flag at Newfoundland of Sir Jas. Wallace. On next
joining, as midshipman, the Hebe, 38, Capt. Paul Min-
chin, he assisted, in company with the Melampus, at the
capture, July 3, 1795, of six out of 13 French vessels,
laden with military stores, and convoyed by a ship of 26
guns, a lugger, and also by two armed brigs, one of
which, La V6suve, was likewise taken. Until pro-
moted to the rank of lieutenant, October 15, 1880,
we next find Mr. Godby successively serving in
the Tourterelle, Captain John Cooke ; Seahorse, 38,
Captain John Peyton ; La Nymphe, 36, Cap.
tains J. Cooke and Percy Fraser ; Royal George,
100, flag ship of Lord Bridport, and Amethyst, 36,
Captain J. Cooke. La •Nymphe, during the period Of
his attachment to her, took, in company with the an
Fiorenco, 36, the French frigates La Resistance, of 48,
and La Constance, of 24 guns, March 9, 1797. After
serving nearly five years as lieutenant on the Medite-ra-
nean, Newfoundland, and home stations, in the Experi-
ment, Captain John Saville ; Athenienne, 64, Captain
Sir Thomas Livingstone ; Lapwing frigate, Captains
Alex. Skene and Francis Wm. Fans ; and Marlicea,
38, Captain John Maitland, Lieutenar t Gadby was pro-
rooted to commander's rank by commission, dated Sept.
25, 1806. His sObsequent appointments were, in 1808-9,
to the Rollo, Trompeuse, and Prospero sloops ; in the
latter of which he deitroyel a Danish privateer nutter,
of 2 guns an i 25 men; near Christiansani, on the caast
of Norway, Feb. 17, 1811. lie continued in the Pros-
pero until his advancement to post rank June 27,

ment."

-railway., The capital account showed that 46416/. had
seen received, and-45,2031. expended, leaving a balance of
1,2131.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
explained that the line was opened ie au incomplete state,
in order to keep faith with the public, and that conse-
quently the full rent would no: be pia by the lessee for
some time after the opening,' as the &ate of the roads at
6-4 period would n..t admit of goods traffic.
Tire report was adopted.

VALE OF NEATEL
The half•yearly meeting of -this company was hold at
Noath, yesterday, Viscount Villiora, ALF., in the chair.
A dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum was de-
&wed, and the retiring directors and auditor were re-
elected.
The meeting wag then made special, and
The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously, authorising the raising of additional
capital to the extent of 120,0001., by the creation of new
`shares to tt,e nominal Value of 20/. each, and that the di•
rectors be authorised to issue such shares from time to
time as they may deem expedient.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes-
terday at the Lou ;on Tavern, Mr. J. D. Lowden in the

Mr. J. H. LOWDEN, the secretary, read the report,
which stated that the arrangements with the Tilbury Corn-
parly had been carried into effect.

Mr. PARKER defended the conduct of the directors.

Mr. BELL said that in analysing Mr. Caird's motives
that day he looked upon them and his speech as an ad-
vertisement for a seat at the directory ; but he thought
his conduct very imprudent, and he (Nlr. Bell) hoped
the meeting would express their condemnation of it.
He asked Mr. Caird if he intended to offer himself as a
director

Mr. CAIRO admitted he was a candidate for a seat at
the directcry.
Mr. BELL said he looked upon this report as the most
satisfactory one they had had presented to them for
many years past, and as an omen of better things for
the future. He saw no cause whatever to induce the
meeting to take such a gloomy view of the undertaking
as Mr. Caird had.

Mr. Minima, congratulated the meeting on the clear
and precise statement of accounts that had that day
been presented to them. This report was certainly
more satisfactory than former ones had been, but he
wished to be informed how it was that the shareholders
did not get a corresponding increase of dividend with an
increased revenue. In 1852 the income was 773,7701., and
in 1855 986,2621., making a difference of 212,4921.
Th,t dividend in ma was three per cent., and in this
year only three-and•a-half per cent., notwithstanding
they had increased tkeir revenue 212,4921.
Mr JIRRAPATH, jun., after alluding to several topics
connected with the working of the line, whereby a
saving of expense might be effected, said that the in-
crease of
20
of
per cent.,revenue alluded to by the last speaker was
whereas the increase on the dividend
was 30 per cent., so that the shareholders had not much
to complain of on that head. He thought the company
was now in a sounder state than formerly.
The CETAinmels said that arrangements were now being
made to reduce the working expenses of the line.
In answer to questions from several shareholders,
The CHAIRMAN said that the aggregate loss on the
branch lines amounted to in the grass to 86,0001. per
annum.

The amendment was afterwards withdrawn, and the
original motion carried unanimously.
The dividend of 13s. 3d. per share was then declared.
Mr. HAMILTON pressed upon the directors en' share-
holders that in future the qualification of a director
should be 3,0001. stock, and should have been in his pos-
session at least 12 months.

The CHAIRMAN said that by the act 6001. was the qua-
lification. He approved of this suggestion, and the only
way it could be carried out was by the shareholders
agreeing that none but those who pos.,essed stock as Mr.
Hamilton recommended should be elected directors.

-TSHAREHOLDER said this was a very important sug-
gestion, and he hoped that when they again went to

AND DRUGS.—This committee, re-appointed from las
session, re-assembled yesterday, for the first time, to
continue their inquiry—Mr. Scholefield in the chair
The other members being Lord Goderich, Lord C. Ha
milton, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Lockart, Mr
Gregson, Mr. Moffatt, Mr. Peacocke, and Mr. Swift.
Dr. Taylor, the well-known analytical chemist, under
went a long examination. It was for the committee ti
determine whether the remedy for adulteration reste,
with the Legislature or the public. The quack medicine,
so largely sold in the present day contained very drastic
purgatives, and as they were frequently used indiscri
minately for all diseases, were very injurious to health
He was of opinion that the adoption of the French eye
tem in cases of detected adulteration would be desirable
as well as the establishment of a central board in Lon-
don for general public supervision. Mr. Aliso-, an es
tensive tea merchant, established for upwards of twent:
years in Gracechurch-street, deposed to a r‘,-.lief that th
i-taternents male before the committee !ast v-sion wer-
e itit ely untrue and got up ; that tea was generally pure
and that he would challenge the previous witnesses t,
produce two p-unds of adulterated tea in the town. It
was all assumption to say that sugar was adulterated t,
the extent of ten per cent.
COMMITTEE Obi TiIE EsTABLISHMENT OF A PUBLIC PRO
SECUTOR.—This committee, re-appointed from last ses-
sion, to c insider the expediency of establishing a Minister
of Justice, met, but did not make a quorum.

RUSSIA.

VIENNA, Feb. 23.--.9.il;3representatives of the
Powers are just about to decide on the all-impor-
tant question of peace or war, there could not be a
more fitting moment for communicating seine in-
formation respecting Russia that is contained in an
interesting, but marvellously ill-arranged article,
which has just proceeded from the pen of Baron
von Ittlen, a well-known writer on statistics and
political economy. The Imperial domains of Rus-
sia, he says, are about three times and a half
as large as the empire of France, and their
population consists of 8,825,958 males and
9,312,326 females. It has been calculated that
on au average 502 persons inhabit an area of five
English square miles. The services rendered to
the State by the 18,138,284 "domain peasants"
during the year 1853 were as follows :—Of the
8,825,958 males about 1,000,000 may be fit to ren-
der military service, but as the "conscription" in
1853 extended but to 5,500,000 males, only 55,263
soldiers were actually raised. If 10 able-bodied
men were taken from every 1,000 "souls" through-
out the whole of the European part of the Russian
empire, there ought to be about 150,000 recruits ;
but M. von Reden very justly remarks that the re-
sult of a general conscription is never what it ap-
pears to be on paper. In 1853 the gross revenue
from the State domains was 48,694,069 silver
roubles. The number of domain or Crown peasants
was 20,252,000 in 1843, but M. von Reden haS
omitted to tell us why the population had within
10 years (between 1813 and 1853) decreased to
18,138,281 souls.

ROYAL RURAL FETE.—The annual treat given by the
Queen to the establishment at Osborne, the tenants of
the estate, and the crews of the Royal yachts, is to take
pace on Friday next.
RIME REGATTA.—The rain and wind has cast a damp
on the pleasures of the day. Few could muster courage
enough to face the pitiless pelting they found themselves
subject to on the pier; still there was a fine breeze for
the yachts, and the Arrow and Mosquito started for the
club prize of 501. The Arrow had fur some time the
advantage, but unfortunately carried away her mast by
the deck, and was towed in by the Mosquito.

I same consideration to which they are entitled, ar.d which
was extendtd to them, under thela.,v of natior,s, before
the attempted modification ofit by that Congress.
As connected -with the subject herein diseassed, it
is not inappropriate to remark, that a due regard to
the fair claims of neutrals would seem to roquire some
modification, if not an abandonment, of the doctrine in

relation to contraband trade. Nations which preserve
the relations of peace should not be injuriously
• affected in their.c•-unniercial intercc.‘ureie by those which
choose to involve themselves in war, provided the
citizens of such powerful nations do not compromise
their character as neutrals by a direct, interference with
the military operations of the belligerents. The laws
of siege and blockade, it is believed, afford all the re-
medies against neutrals that the parties to the war can
justly claim. Those laws interdict all trade with the be-
sieged or blockaded places. A. • further interference
with the ordinary pursuits of neutrals, in no-wise to
,blame for an existing state of• hostilities,
,is contrary to
the obvious dictateri of justice, E. this view of the•sub-
ject-could be adopted; and Practiciilly obserred by all
civilised nations, the right -dsetircb, which has been the
source of so much annoyance and of so tra.ny injuries to
neutral commerce, would, be restricted to such oases
only as justified a suspicion ,tierupt to trade with
places actually in a state of siege or blockade.
Humanity and justice d einand.that' the calamities in-
cident to war should be strictly limited to the betlige-
rents themselves, and those.
who ,
voluntarily :take
part with then"; :but neutrals abstaining in good faith
frora'sr:ch complicity ought to be 'left to piar,-;ue their
trade with either belligarent • Witlio4t roStrotiens" in re-,
:'part to tbie.artictes entering into it '4 `l.

'Though :the United States do not propose to embAr-
-eaFs the btber rending negotiations,rtlative to the rights
of neutrals, by pressing this change in the law of con-
traband, they will be ready to give it their sanction
whenever there is a prospect of its favourable reception
by other maritime powers.

The undersigned avails himself of this opportunity to
renew to the Count de Sartiges the assurance of his
high consideration.
