ATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE
mil J ASSURANCE COMPANY,
8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON.
The FOURT fl ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie-
tors of this Company took place on •the 25th instant, at the Head
Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the
report, which is too lengthy for publication :
During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England.
and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.
The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1649, and
the 31st of Way, 1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding.
Prop,sals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2s. 6d.:
Of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.
sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s.
was received by the Company in the shape of premiums
Since the.canmencerrient of the Company to the let of June last,
assUre.n,es were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. its. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9901. 16e. 6d., of which the annual premiums were
7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to
2,9911. 15s. 11d.
since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
bnt 1,1831. I,ls. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur
de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters,
Who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Arehbish-p of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a cone
siderab'e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice-
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment; the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prosceets.

ANOTHER FIRE AT GRAVESEND
GRAVESEND, OCT. 28.—At about two o'clock on
Sunday afternoon smoke was discovered by several
persons passing at the time proceeding from the iron-
grating over the front cellar of the house No. 5, in
lle.riner-street, at the corner of the upper and western
side of the street turning into the Crescent. So
much suspicion was attached to the origin of this fire,
that on the information of the police-superintendent
and his officers the borough magistrates thought it
incumbent on them to institute an inquiry into the
matter. Accordingly, this day, Messrs. Oakes (chair-
man), and Spencer, Smith, and Tickner, held an in-
vestigation, when the following facts were elicited.
Mr. Samuel Marden, a respectable-looking elderly
man, stated, after the usual caution against saying
anything that might possibly tend to criminate him-
self, that about seven o'clock on the previous (Sun-
day) morning he had, with his wife, servant, and a
gentleman who lodged with him, got up and pre-
pared to go by the train to London, but, on arriving
at the station, they found themselves too late for the
train. They then returned to No. 5, the house he
occupied, and prepared to go by the nine o'clock boat
f om the Terrace-pier. Whilst so preparing, he took
a candle in a bedroom candle-stick, and went down to
the cellar to get some coals and wood, to have ready
to make a fire when they should return in the even-
ing. While in the cellar he heard the bell announc-
ing the time of the boat's departure from the Ter-
race-pier ringing, and hurried up, leaving the lighted
candle he did not know where in the cellar. Mr.
Marden went on to give a statement of all that he
alleged to have occurred between seven o'clock and
the time of going by the steam-boat on Sunday
morning so incoherent that it was impossible to find
out from it anything that could fix the time of his
and his family's departure from the house, and the
origin of the fire.
The following evidence was taken by the magis-
trates after Mr. Oakes had stated that the case of this
fire, from the information of the police, was of so
suspicious a character that the bench of magistrates
felt it to be their duty to investigate it in the fullest
possible way.
The first witness called was a porter of the Diamond
Steam-packet Company, who deposed that on Saturday
evening, late, he was called to attend at 5, Harmer-
street, and to remove from there three boxes to the
Diamond packet-office, to be sent up by the first boat
the following morning. He removed them with the
assistance of another porter, and on the following
morning, at a quarter past eight o'clock, the man (a
tall and thin man, not at all like Mr. Marden) who
delivered the boxes to him at No. 5, came to the
office, and superintended their removal to the boat
about to start for London. He should know the man
again if he saw him. He went by the boat on board
of which the boxes were put.
Mr. Marden here said that he was the last person
who left the house on Sunday morning, and that the
other man, whose name, as his lodger, he could not
recollect, had left that morning by the railway.
Mr. Oakes again cautioned Mr. Marden not to say
anything that might commit himself, as it would be
taken down in evidence against him.
Mr. Marden proceeded to state in reply to Mr.
Oakes, that he had insured his stock (haberdashery)
for 2501., his furniture for 2501., and some glass cases
in his shop for 501., on or about the sth inst., through
the medium of Mr. H. Newman, of Gravesend, agent
for the Phesnix-office, and was also insured, but to
what amount he did not mention, in the Metropolitan
Insurance-office. The receipt for the premium of in-
surance in the Phcenix-office he produced, and said
his wife had it in her pocket, and that he had not
preserved any other receipt, or voucher, or document
whatever.

-101 LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RIILW-
MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have
been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
hi corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written.
by John Mollard Whee:er, B=q., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercy,to any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqur intances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
touch speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."
Sold by Themes Front, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

Police-constable Wickham deposed that about two
o'clock on the afternoon of Sunday, the 27th instant,
his attention was drawn to smoke issuing from the
grating above the cellar window of No. 5, Harmer•
street. Finding there was nobody in the house, he
called for assistance, and entered the house through
a window, at the rear opening into the garden. Find-
ing the smoke proceeding from the basement story he
went down and opened a-door which led into an in-
termediate cellar between the back end front kitchens,
and which formed also a sort of lumber room. The
smoke rushed with such violence out of the door that
he was forced to go back, and he then went into the
back kitchen, found a bucket with water in it, re-
turned to the cellar, and poured the water on where
he saw some fire. lie then had assistance, and the
fire was put out. The large box now produced by
him and partially burnt was the first thing he re-
moved out of the cellar. The smaller box he found
close by the partition, with the candlestick in it us it
now appeared, and with the remains of burnt wadding
extinguished by the water he had thrown on it.
The candlestick was
quite hot. (The candlestick, a
brass chamber one, was inserted into the side, or it
might be the upper end, of the box, of which two
sides or ends and the stuff contained in it were burnt
or reduced to tinder and cinder. The candlestick
could by no apparent possibility have accidentally
got into the position in the box in which it was
found.) Witness went on to state that he found a
quantity of books and other combustible ma-
terials lying on the floor round and in contact
with the box in which the candlestick and the ex-
pired snuff of a candle were found by him and the
other persons who came to his assistance. In the bed•
rooms he found the wardrobes—three in number—all
empty; one bed was tumbled as if slept on, but there
were no bedclothes but an old blanket and counter-
pane. On a bedstead in another room there was a
mattress, but no bedding. In the shop he found no-
thing but a few triflir q articles of little value, such as
gloves and some bonnet-frames. The whole house
seemed to have been left in a state of confusion, and
with but little of value in it. Mr. Marden had re-
turned late in the night, but he (witness) had no com-
munication with him other than telling him how the
fire was discovered. Witness had no doubt that but
for the timely discovery of the fire the house would
have been soon in flames. There was a quantity of
broken timber, and other combustible materials, be-
hind the partition against which the box with the
candlestick in it lay. Above the box, on a sort of
shelf, was a quantity of books and papers. Some of
them were partially burnt. Some of the books and
papers on the floor were partially burnt. The parti-
tion itself was burnt through nearly up to the ceiling.
It was immediately under the shop.
Robert Atkins, foreman of the corporation fire-
engines, fully corroborated the previous witness's evi-
dence, as ho had arrived at the spot in a few minutes
after him.

Mr. Henry Newman was agent to the Phoenix In-
surance Company. The receipt of the policy of in-
surance for 55C/. now produced was given by him to
Mr. Marden on the sth inst. The policy paper had
not been sent to him yet, but the receipt bound the
company to the insurance. He had surveyed the
furniture insured for 250/. when he gave the receipt.
Could not say what stock there was in the shop at
the time. Had not seen either furniture or stock
since the discovery of the fire the day before.
Thought there was a sufficiency of furniture in the
house on the day be went to survey
it on giving the
receipt for the policy to Justify the amount of in-
surance.

Mr. Marden, on being asked by the bench if he had
anything to reply to the very serious charge now
made against him, declined saying anything more at
present, further than that the witnesses tried to make
out a case against him. He admitted that he had the
lighted candle in the cellar, but was sure that ho did
not place it in the box where it was found—if it was
found in it. He could not explain bow it found its
way there, and he could only say he was innocent of
any knowledge of the cause of the fire.
Mr. Oakes said the charge was one that the magis-
trates found themselves compelled to investigate
strictly, and they would remand Mr. Marden, who
was now in custody of the police, until Wednesday.
The prisoner was then removed in the custody of
Mr. Superintendent North, to be brought up again
on Wednesday.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA.

that money there was worth 9 or 10 per cent.; and
under such circumstances it was not to be expected
that people could give the full price for shares yielding
but 5 per cent.

Mr. RICHMOND said, that the East India Company
could borrow money in India at 5 per cent., and he
considered their railway shares to be equal in value to
that stock.

_ - -
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office, New Broad-street ; Mr. Ha-
milton in the chair.

Mr. CRAWF3RD said, that their shares were not the
same as Government stock. The people in India
looked upon railway undertakings as a different sort of
thing, and they were perfectly aware of the deprecia-
tion of railway property in this country, and the va-
rious contingencies to which it may be liable.. He
hoped the directors would have the kindness in future
to circulate the report two or three days before the
half-yearly meeting.
A conversation ensued, in the course of which it

was stated that the company had contracted to pay at
the rate of 303. per ton for the freight of iron rails
from Cardiff to Bombay. That sum included in-
surance. The freight from Cardiff to London was
10s. per ton, including insurance. A technical ob-
jection was raised by Mr. Crawford against the ap-
pointment of Mr. Nicholson as superintending direc-
tor, with a salary ; but it was contended by Mr.
White, the solicitor to the company, the Chairman,
and others, that the appointment was perfectly legal,
and that it had been sanctioned by the East India
Company.
Mr. NICHOLSON entered into an explanation of the
terms upon which he had consented to join the com-
pany, and said that Mr. Macgregor, of the South-
Eastern Company, and Mr. Laing, of the Brighton
Railway, received specific sums for their services, and
that these were cases in point, and would meet the
technical objection urged by Mr. Crawford against
his appointment as superintending director at a fixed
salary for the performance of certain duties.

of Lord Wharncliffe, the chairman of the company,
Mr. NICHOLSON, the superintending director, The CHAIRMAN having apologised for the absence
pro-
ceeded to read the report, which stated that the di-
rectors had little to report as to the proceedings of the
company for the interval between the last half-yearly
meeting and the present. Daring that period the
monsoons had prevailed, and the operations of the en-
gineers in the fiel d have necessarily been almost sus-
pended. The surveys of the first portion of the line
had, however, been completed before the rains set in ;
and the period of the monsoon has been occupied with
the completion of the plans, sections, estimates, and
specifications. It has been determined to limit the
first contract to the line between Bombay and Tannah,
a distance of 21 miles, with a branch of one and a
half mile in length (of
a single line of rails) to the
port of Mahim ; and during the construction of the
works on this portion of the railway the engineers will
be employed in a minute investigation of the country
beyond Tannab, with a view lto obtain the best line
across the Ghauts, connecting the coast line of coun -
try with the interior. It is of the highest importance
to the success of this undertaking that the most eligi-
ble opening through the western Ghauts should be
secured. This important point must be ascertained
and determined before the works beyond the Tannah
estuary can with prudence be commenced. In the
meantime the question of the general route of the line
in connexion with the resources of the country, is un-
dergoing the consideration of the Government of
Bombay, whose decision the board confidently expect
will be speedily pronounced. The directors are about
to let the works of the line between Bombay and
Tannah, if eligible offers from responsible parties can
be obtained ; and these works will be pushed on with
the utmost vigour and rapidity. The report of Meisrs.
lieating and Anderton, the auditors, stated that the
manner in which the accounts have
been kept, the
economy of the expenditure by the directors, and the
control exercised by the East India Company, afford
the most ample security to the proprietors. The ac-
counts to the 30th of
June showed that the receipts
amounted to 132,0681., of which 15,6121. was re•
ceived in Bombay, and the expenditure to 35,9371
including 6,8481. expended in Bombay,
leaving ba-
lancea of 96,131/.

Die CHAIRMAN stated, in reply to a question from
Mr. Field, that the East India Company would not
allow parties to pay up the whole sum on their shares,
but when the money was required it would be called
up by ingalments. The line was originally intended
to extend from Bombay to Callian, thirty-three miles,
at an estimated cost of 500,0001., instead of which it
was now proposed to make it from Bombay to Tan-
nah, a distance of twenty-one miles, at a cost of less
than 200,0001.

Mr. ANDERTON, one of the auditors, remarke(3,
that the arrears of calls
that, owing to the control exercised over their expen-
diture by the East India Company there was no
such thing as spending a farthing without their per-
mission. only amounted to 2161.,. and

A PROPRIETOR urged the necessity of obtaining an
early decision as to the exact situation of their line
and station at Bombay, and, if possible, to have a
terminus near the shipping. From his long experi-
ence of the mode of carrying on works in India, he
very much doubted the correctness of the paragraph
in the report which stated that the works would be
carried on with the utmost vigour and rapidity.
The report was then adopted, and, after a vote of
thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting
separated.

tain satisfactory tenders from native contractors. to
execute the works, but up to the present time without
success. In the first place, the native contractors
were perfectly ignorant of the nature of the works
required by the company, and were not acquainted
with the mode of construction to insure the necessary
stability; while the contractors in England. were well
acquainted with the mode of constructing railway
aindgbetehne adoption of the
works, but they knew nothing about the soil of India,
the kind of materials to be had, and the capability of
the natives to execute the various works. The en-
gineers had prepared plans and specifications of the
works for the inspection of contractors in Bom-
bay, as well as duplicates thereof for the English
contractors. On Saturday last advertisements ap-
peared in all the London morning papers, the rail-
way papers, and the principal country papers,
stating that the directors were prepared to receive
tenders for the construction of the works. The
plans and specifications had been submitted for ap-
proval, which was expected to be given about the
middle of November. It had been arranged, with a
view to prevent delay, that the company's engineers
shall commence the heaviest portion of the works
andin case a contract should be entered into for the
execution of the works the contractor should agree to
take the works which may be executed at cost price
deducting the amount from the, specified sum. He
concluded by moving the adoption of the report and
accounts.

PRESTON AND LONGRIDGE• - The half-yearly
meeting of this company was held on Thursday,
Mr. T. B. Addison in the chair, when a dividend of
12s. 6d. per share for the half-year clear of income
tax, and payable in January, was declared, the re-
tiring directors being re-elected.
GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.—WE understand
that a meeting of deputations of the Caledonian, the
Lancaster and Carlisle, and the Glasgow and South-
Western Railway Companies took place at Carlisle on
Tuesday last, when, consequent upon the immediate
opening of the latter line into England, mutual ar-
rangements for traffic were discussed in a friendly
spirit, and there is every reason to believe that an
agreement will be completed of a satisfactory charac-
ter for all parties. This will prevent any ruinous
competition, and at the same time afford every facility
and convenience for the public.

ASHFORD, RYE, AND HASTINGS

RAILWAY.
COMPLETION OF THE WORKS.
The last link in the great chain of railway coast com-
munication along the eastern and southern ports of the
kingdom was yesterday accomplished by the comple-
tion of the works on the Ashford, Rye, and Hastings
Railway, which is now in a state of such forwardness
that it will be ready for opening to the public in the
course of a few weeks. A large and distinguished
party of the directors and their friends, among whom
were several ladies, left the South-Eastern terminus,
London Bridge, yesterday morning in a special train
shortly before ten o'clock. The Lord Mayor, the
Lady Mayoress, the Rev. Mr. Marshall, the Lord
Mayor's chaplain, and suite were among the guests
invited to be present at the interesting ceremony of
inserting the last brick in the tunnel of the Ashford
and Hastings line. We also observed Sir Frederick
Smith, the Government railway inspector i the Mayor
of Rye, Jeremiah Smith. Esq ; the Deputy Mayor
of Winchelsea, Captain Southey; the Mayor of Hast-
ings, George Scriven, Esq ; R. Holland, Esq., M.P.,
H. Curteis, Esq., M.P., James MacGregor, Esq., the
chairman ; and a number of the directors of the
South-Eastern line.

Mr. RICHMOND said, be had great pleasure in se-
conding the adoption of the report, and with regard
to the accounts he wished to observe, in addition to
b n
what had been stated by their worthy auditor, that
they had been approved of by the East India Com-
pany,
aalrig, p and could not discover the reason why the
pally. lie complained of the course adopted by some
of the Bombay papers in opposition to the under-
shares of the company should be quoted in the Bom-
bay pafifty per cent. discount, notwith-
standing the five per cent. guarantee of the East
India Company.
Mr. ANDERTON did not consider it surprising that
the shares of the company should be quoted at a dis-
coUut in the Bombay market, when it was known

On the arrival of the train at Rye the visitors were
received by the mayor of that ancient borough and
the civic authorities. There was a band of music sta-
tioned on the platform, and the station and public
buildings were decorated with flags in honour of the
interesting event.
The Lord Mayor, the chairman of the directors,
and the principal visitors were conducted to the sta-
tion, where an address was presented in the following
terms :

"TO THE CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH

EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

" Gentlemen,—We, the mayor and corporation and
inhabitants of the ancient town of Rye, cordially and sin-
cerely greet you on your arrival hers this day, and on
the completion of the works of the Ashford, Rye, and
Hastings line.
" W e hail it as a prospect of a new era for the benefit
of this town, and we hope that you may long cotinue to
manage the affairs of this important company advan-
tageously to the interest of those whom you represent,
feeling as we do that, under such circumstances, an op-
portunity will be atiorded for the development of the re-
sourcos and energies of those who now respectfully ad-
dress you, and we give you a hearty welcome.
(Signed on behalf of the meeting)
JEREMIAU Slum", Mayor.

" Rye. Oct. 28, 1850."

Mr. MACGREGOR, on behalf of the company, re-
plied to the address in appropriate terms ' • after which
the Mayor of Rye complimented the
company on
being honoured with the presence of the Lord
Mayor of London, who was connected by former
ties of friendship and long residence with that part
of the country. Three loud and hearty cheers
were then given by the assembled multitude, the
company re-entered the carriages, and the train
proceeded on its way to Hastings. In consequence
of a slip in a portion of the line near the tunnel, some
delay took place when within two or three miles of
Hastings. The heavy rains of the last few days
having formed a lodgment on one side of the line.
at the foot of an embankment, the rails were forced
up and displaced for a few yards, and a pilot en-
gine having been sent on to assist in remedying
this defect, the train again proceeded, after having
been detained half-an-hour, and entered the long
tunnel which forms the terminus of the line close
to Hastings. Here a temporary platform and scaf-
folding were erected, several hundred "navies," each
provided with a candle, were ranged on either side,
and by the glare of the flickering lights, which served
only to render the darkness visible, the Lord Mayor
and his suite, and those who were to take part in
the ceremony of placing the last brick in the crown
of the tunnel, ascended the frail-looking scaffolding
at an elevation of some thirty feet above the rails.
Mr. MacGregor then, in the name of the company,
presented the Lord Mayor with a handsome silver
trowel, on which was the following inscription :
"Die Lunm, Octobri 28, A.D. 1850.
" Presented to the Right Hon. Thomas Farncomb,
Lord Mayor of the city of London, by the South-
Eastern Railway Company, on the occasion of his
Lordship's completing the works on the Ashford,
Rye, and Hastings Railway, by inserting the closing
brick in the tunnel between Hastings and St.
Leonard's."
Underneath were his Lordship's arms, the whole
encircled by a handsome embossed scroll. The brick
on which his Lordship's name and the date were in-
scribed having been placed in its proper position, the
Lord Mayor applied the cement around it with the
trowel, drove in the wedges with a mallet, and pro-
nounced the work complete. Mr. MacGregor then
advanced to the edge of the platform and announced
the fact to the vast crowd who were assembled in the
depths below, and three loud and deafening cheers
were given, the workmen flourishing their lights,
which threw a lurid and unearthly glare over the
strange and exciting scene enacting apparently in the
bowels of the earth.
The tunnel in which the ceremony took place is
1,400 yards, or rather more than three-quarters of a
mile long, and is within about a mile of the Hastings
terminus. It is bricked throughout, and is a very
massive and substantial structure. The ceremony
having been completed, the carriages again moved
forward, and after a brief stay at the temporary ter-
minus at Hastings proceeded along the curve which
connects the new line with St. Leonard's. Here
another tunnel, about 700 yards in length, occurs, and
here the same ceremony of placing the last brick in
the crown of the arch was performed by the Lord
Mayor in the presence of a still larger number of

spectators, and amidst the most enthusiastic acclama-
tions. The second ceremony was rendered more in-
teresting from the fact that it took place in the parish
of the Mary Magdalene, Hastings, in which the Lord
Mayor was born, and in the presence of many Of
those early and attached friends who had witce;sed
the honourable career of their distinguished towns-
man, and were now assembled to congratulate him
on the occasion of his revisiting his native spot as
chief magistrate of the first city of the world.
' The new portion of the line commences at Ashford,
and is about 29 miles in length. It passes for the
greater part of its course through the flat and fertile
district called Romney Marsh, the greater part of the
soil of which is so fertile that it is said 12 or 1.5 crops
of wheat can be obtained off it without manure, and
the farmers in the days of England's agricultural
prosperity ware called "yellow pockets." There is as
yet only one line of rails laid down over a considerable
portion of the line, but the whole of the line is
ballasted, and the other line of rails ready for laying,
so that.the line can be completely finished and opened
to the public in a fortnight from this date. The
ceremony of yesterday would have been deferred a
little longer, but Monday was the only day the Lord
Mayor had at his disposal before the termination of
his mayoralty. None of the stations are at present
completed, and it will evidently require considerable
exertion to have all prepared for public traffic before
the end of next month. It is needless to say that
Hastings was in a state of unusual bustle, excitement.
and animation; and the long line of carriages and
cabs as they proceeded through the streets of the town
to the hotel, were greeted with loud and enthusiastic
cheering.
The train on leaving returned to Hastings.
The company were conveyed to the Swan Hotel,
where an elegant dijetiner was served up. The hour
fixed for the arrival of the guests was one o'clock,
but owing to the unavoidable delays to which we have
referred, it was nearly four o'clock before all were
seated, their appetites much sharpened by the delay
and the fresh and invigorating sea-breeze of the coast.
The chair was taken by James MacGregor, Esq.,
chairman of the board of directors, who was sup-
ported on his right by the Lord Mayor of London,
and on his left by Sir Frederick Smith, who was pre-
sent as a guest, and not in his capacity of a Govern-
ment railway inspector. Between fifty and sixty of
the gentlemen connected with the line or the towns
through which it passed were present.
" The Health of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the
rest of the Royal Family," having been given from
the chair, and duly honoured,
The CHAIRMAN rose and gave " The Health of
the Lord Mayor of London," who had that day
honoured them by completing the works on the im-
portant line that connected Hastings with the county
of Kent, and formed the last link in the great chain of
railway coast communication from Ramsgate to Ply-
mouth.—(Loud cheers.) As to the importance of
the line in a military point of view, he could not
speak of it in higher terms than to quote the
words of his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who
had expressed his high opinion of its importance for
the defence of the country, and that opinion had been
repeated by one who was distinguished as a states-
man, who bid fair to follow in the footsteps of him
who was " the observed of all observers"—he meant
the Marquis of Dalhousie, the Governor-General of
India.—(Cheers.) The Lord Mayor had that day
shown himself a master workman—he had turned
the last link in the chain.
•` On the huge anvil forged the massive chain,
With cramp in cramp the fabric to sustain."

(Cheers.) After complimenting the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman on the high and distinguished position he had
atttained, and wishing him every happiness and pros-
perity, the Chairman concluded by giving " The
health of the Lord Mayor of London."—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He was fully
sensible of the great honour they had done him in in-
viting him to lay the last band to the important work
that had been that day completed. He had no doubt
that the line which was just completed would prove
highly advantageous to a town in the prosperity of
which he felt so deep an interest. He should remem-
ber the present occasion with unfeigned sentiments
of pleasure to the last day of his life. He was gra-
tified to find that while discharging the important
duties of Lord Mayor of London he had obtained
the approval of his friends and fellow-citizens. He
felt proud as a Sussex man of the distinguished posi-
tion in which he had been placed, and concluded by
thanking the company for the distinguished compli-
ment they had paid him.
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " Prosperity to the
borough of Hastings." He was happy to think that
in the performance of his duty in administering the
affairs of the South .Eastern Railway Company, he
had been enabled to accomplish a work which could
not fail to conduce most materially to the prosperity
of that ancient and loyal borough. He had confi-
dence in himself, notwithstanding what had been
said by Lord Dalhousie, that a railway to Hastings
would not pay, and that the burden of its construe-

tion should be given to those who had already the
largest share and the greatest extent of profitable
railway communication in the county of Kent—not-
withstanding all that, he still believed that it would
eventually pay, be a profitable tributary to the South-
Eastern line, and that the labours of Mr. Hoof, their
contractor, and of their able engineer, Mr. Barlow,
would be crowned with the most complete success.
He begged, in the name of the visitors, to thank the
town and corporation of Hastings for the handsome
reception they had given them, and would couple
with the toast " The health of the Mayor, Mr.
Striven."—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. SCIUVEN (Mayor of Hastings) returned
thanks, and expressed his belief that the completion
of the line would materially tend to develope the re-
sources and capital of the town and district. Ile
gave " The health of their worthy Chairman, Mr.
MacGregor."—(Great cheering.)
The CuaramaN returned thanks in appropriate
terms, and gave, as the last toast of the evening, " The
Lady Mayoress," to which the Lord Mayor res-
ponded.
The chair was then taken by the Mayor of Hast-
ings, and Mr. MacGregor and the party who had
accompanied him from London returned to their
carriages, and proceeded back to Ashford, which they
reached at a quarter to nine o'clock. The train the❑
started down the Dover line to Folkestone, arriving
there at a quarter-past nine.
At the Pavilion Hotel a very sumptuous banquet
was prepared by Mr. Breach, formerly of the London
Tavern ; and here the capacity of the guests fur the
enjoyment of the good things of this life was severely
tested by the appetizing temptations set before them
for the second time in the course of their interesting.
excursion. The exhiliration produced by a long
ride through the varied scenery of the SUSSPX coast,
the gratifying nature of the proceedings at which they
had assisted, and the good humour in which all the

party were, all contributed to promote digestion, and
to enable the majority to acquit themselves credit-
. .

ably in the eyes of the worthy host of the Pavilion.
Mr. MacGregor again did the honours of the banquet
to his various guests, and after the dessert had been

placed on the table, -
The usual loyal toasts were given and cordially re-
sponded to.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Army and Navy,"
coupling with them the names of Sir Frederick Smith
and Captain Mercer.
Sir FREDNRICK SMITH returned thanks. He had
felt great pleasure that day in meeting his friends of
the county of Kent, and in accompanying the chair-
man and his guests to Hastings by the new line. As
an officer and an engineer he felt the great import-
ance of the line the works of which had just been
completed. He believed that railways were some of
the best defences of the country from foreign invasion.
—(Hear, hear.) England did not maintain a large
standing army, but she had stout and honest heats—
(Cheers)—and he believed nothing would contribute
more to give power and affect to their resources than
to have points in case of attack at which to concen-
trate their forces. It was a mistake to suppose that
a line merely along the coast was the best for defence;
one a little removed from the coast was far superior
for such a purpose, and he believed tbat no line could
be better calculated for military defence than that
which had been adopted by the South-Eastern Com-
pany.—(Loud cheers.)

The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Healths of Mr.
Deedes, Mr. Brockman, and the other Members of
Parliament who had honoured them with their pre-
sence."

Mr. DEEDES having acknowledged the compliment,
The CUAIRMAN then gave " The Health of the Lord
Mayor of London.—(Cheers.) He thought it was a
thing to be marked that the Lord Mayor of London
should complete a great and important national work
in the parish in which he was born.—(Cheers.) It
was unnecessary for him to eulogise the public or
private character of the Lord Mayor, but all who
knew him in that part of the country were aware
that he was highly esteemed and respected in the
town in which he was born ; during his long and
honourable career he had done a great deal of good
to the district with which he was connected, and had,
secured the esteem and affection of his frienhdessnl
neighbours.—(Cheers.) After alluding
and activity he had that day displayed it:
e hopeadjusting
the last brick, and expressing a good-humoured

th ter he had thrown off the care
uld be induced to give up his sin 34 blessedileis
and make some fair lady of Kent he4-,py,
by .;iving " The Health of the .4ig -
neyor of London." "HI.;
The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, expressing his
gratification atbeing once again among his old friends
in the county of Sussex.
The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of the
Meyer of Folkestone." He had long been connected
with the port and town, and had done much to pro-
mote its growing importance; and he believed that
the connexion of the South-Eastern Railway with
the port had materially contributed to the prosperity
of that town. That would be more obvious to them
when he stated that no less than 250,000 persons
landed and embarked annually at that port.
The toast was drunk with much applause.
The Mayor of FOLKESTONE (Mr. David Major)
returned thanks, acknowledging the great prosperity
that the connexion of the railway with their port had
conferred upon Folkestone.
The Mayors of Canterbury, Hythe, Dover, Deal,
and Maidstone also acknowledged toasts in which
their healths were proposed. In doing so each put
in some separate demand on the company for increased
railway accommodation, to which the chairman made
polite and politic replies.
The LORD MAYOR gave " The health of the Chair-
man," to which
The CuAlamAN respon,led by expressing his regard
for the men of Kent, and his hope that in the dis-
charge of his official duties he had met with their
approbation and that of the proprietors of the com-
pany. ll^ had endeavoured to do so by adhering to
a lesson which he had been taught on becoming
chairman, by regarding the time-bill issued by the
company as a contract entered into between them and
the public, and which they were bound strictly' to
perform. The company at that .time. had published
an ample time bill, and promiseelmuch, though they
could perform little. gisendeavoiarliad been to curtail
the promises, and to increase the powers of perform-
ance. He had made many friendships in the county of
Kent, but on no occasion had be spent a happier day
that the present, nor had he ever felt more gratified
than in returning them thanks for the compliment
which they then paid him.
The CHAIRMAN then gave, " The Health of Mr.
Stephen R. Lushington, the apostle of direct railway
communication."
Mr. LUSUINGTON returned thanks.
The last toast given from the chair was " The
Ladies," and at a tew minutes before one o'clock the
greater part of the company started for London in a
special train, reaching the London-bridge terminus,
without the slightest accident, at three o'clock pre-
cisely.

The chairman and railway authorities were
throughout the day extremely attentive to their
guests, and their unceasing exertions contributed
much to the comfort and enjoyment of their numerous
and distinguished visitors.

• CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Papers from the Cape of Good Hope have been re-
ceived to the 14th of August. Affairs at Cape-town
were progressing smoothly, and since the final ar-
rangement of the convict question nothing had
occurred to disturb the harmony existing between
Sir Harry Smith and the colonists. The accounts
, from Natal were encouraging. The new Lieute-
, cant-Governor was working zealously to bring
the Administration into popular favour, and
the majority of his measures were regarded with
consideration. The developement of the settlement
, was gradually becoming more apparent, and the
cultivation of cotton was steadily increasing on the
sea coast, with every prospect of ultimate success.
Great jealousy was manifested by the Boers re-
specting the admission of strangers into the Vaal
River district, and two travellers who had attempted
to penetrate into that territory had been compelled
to seek another route. Pretorius was still in that
neighbourhood, and bad, it was thought, permanently
settled down there with his followers. The accounts
from the frontier mention that depredations continued
to be committed among the farmers by the natives,
but excepting in one case where murder is alleged to
have followed from an attempt to arrest the parties,
they were not commonly of an alarming description.
The appearance of Kafir fever at Natal had occa-
sioned some little uneasiness. With respect to the
passengers by the Minerva, the vessel lately wrecked
off the port, it is stated that a subscription had been
entered into for their relief, and that a memorial to
the Government had been signed by many of the
leading residents praying for an official inquiry to
ascertain if the disaster was owing to accidental
causes or entirely to the nature of the coast, so that
if the latter should prove to be the case efforts may be
made to provide a remedy.
" Various rumours," it is remarked, "are of course
afloat, but there seems to be a feeling among the in•
flueutial class here that any judgment would be pre-
mature before the result of a thorough investigation
is known. They are, however, naturally anxious that
this occurrence may not unfairly prejudice shipowner
and underwriters against the place. They
,court
inquiry on this point. They feel confident that the
roadstead is not more dangerous than those of Tale
and Algoa Bays; many even contend that it is less
dangerous than those places, inasmuch as they are
strictly bays, and ships must hold their ground or go
ashore. This is a straight line of coast with good
anchorage, and there is, it is alleged, a fair chance
for vessels to get out to sea. Moreover, when the
resources of the colony will enable the authorities to
throw open the inside harbour to ships of all sizes,
the port will bear comparison in point of safety with
any in the world, and ships will find here a harbour
such as, with the exception of Saldanha Bay only,
does not exist along the whole southern coast of
Africa."
