The insecurity of, and objection to, tilivate suretyship arists from
the difficulty which mast always, exist of ascertaining w('h correct-
ness the real solvency of the prOposed sureties at ile time ; and
even when this fact exa he satisfactorily shown thee remains the
danger that the bAndanten utay licit continue l'olvent. In how malty
ca*eil dogs it not henna% that, on defalcation occurring, and on in-
quiries being made as to the sureties, they are fiatind either to have
themselves tifeArne insolvent, or to have died in embarrassed cireum- I
atancea, leaving but little, if any, chance to the principal of reaping
any benefit from his supposed security?
Oa the other handl Cite @vll Is . not less to the applicant for the
situation gj the office. Many a man, otherwise well qualified, has
heeu obllged to forego an advantageous appointment, by not being
4141 e to find security to the large amount required by the regulations
of the particular service or department; and the very application to
friends is, to a well-constituted mind, painful, seeing that the appli-
cant thereby not only lays himself under personal obligations, but
subjects his friends to serious pecuniary liability, without any cor-
responding individual advantage.
The object of the Surety Society is to obviate these evils, 'by sub-
stituting the security of g responsible incorporated publil company.

lated by circtimstanees, the Society will become
responsible for the

may be agreed upon 4114 stated in the policy, and will thus open to
parties not tieing perhaps In a situation to obtain private sureties to a
sufficient amount, but Otherwise eligible, the opportunity of accepting
valuable appolntmehts of trust.
The advantages to principals are the responsibility of a public
company, with an ample subseribed capital, obviating the necessity
of personal inquiry into the Individual responsibility of proposed sure-
ties, andrelieying principals from the possibility of loss by reason of
theinsolvency of the private surety.
The Directors will exercise all needffil preeautions in entering into
contracts. The ordinary minimum rate of premium will be fixed;
but special eases will be made the subject of a distinct contract, at an
agreed rate. At the end of three years the experience of the Society
will be examined, and, if found practicable, the premiums on all
existing policies of three years' standing will be reduced; so that
those assurers who have not exposed the Society to loss may reap

On Monday the Mayor,•Captain Bennett, R.N., con-
vened a public meeting, pursuant to a requisition from
the local Board, to take into consideration the present
state of the Lyme Regis and Taunton Railway, and
Lyme Regis Harbour Improvement Company, and to
receive from Messrs. Waring and Goddard, the deputa-
tion to the London Board, their report of the same. The
worthy Mayorhaving been called to the chair, introduced
the object of the meeting.
H. F. WARING, Esq., after detailing the whole of the
operations of the Managing Committee to the present
time. and their intentions for the future, stated that
little doubt was entertained that the Company would re-
ceive the Government support, and that in a few weeks
such a plan would be prepared for the proposed harbour
of refuge as would form a complete barrier to any rival
scheme in the next session of Parliament, and that by
the following session the measure would be so carefully
prepared and matured, as to ensure its final adoption as
a great national work.
The following resolution was then moved by EDWARD
0. LEE, Esq., and seconded by JOHN DRAYTON, Esq., j
"That the thanks of this meeting be given to the London
Board of Directors for the courtesy displayed in their
attention to the wishes of the meeting of the 12th inst."
—Carried unanimously.
Sir HENRY BAYLEY requested that his thanks might
be given to the Board of Directors in London, as well as to
the public of Lyme Regis generally, for the way in which
his name was alluded to, both at the public meeting and
in the minutes of the London Board of Directors. Sir
Henry referred to the delicate position in which he was
placed with regard to his previous connexion with a
competing line, and intimated that the time might not
be far distant when the barrier to his taking a more
active part in the affairs of this Company might be
removed.

It was then moved " That the project of the Lyme Regis
and Taunton Railway, and Lyme Regis Harbour Im-
provement Company, continue to receive the support and
cordial co-operation of the inhabitants of Lyme Regis."
Mr. BURFOOT pointed out thel advantages of this mea-
sure to the merchant, to the manufacturer, and, above all,
to the mariner who, having gone into distant regions for
supplies of wealth for his native country, too often
perished within sight of his own dwelling from the want
of a harbour of refuge, after encountering the dangers of
a foreign climate and a tedious voyage. He touchingly
dwelt upon the dreadful sacrifice of life and property
that had come within his knowledge during the last forty
years from the want of such accommodation at this
place, all other ports in the west bay being bar har-
bours, and utterly unsafe for vessels to enter in gales
of wind.

The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the
Mayor for his kind servico on this and previous occa-
sions, and the meeting separated.

We understand, upon :authority which cannot be
doubted, that the North London Junction Railway Company
and the Eastern Counties Railway have adopted measures
which will advance their mutual interests. It has been re-
solved by the contracting parties that a branch line shall be
made from some point on the Eastern Counties Railway in
the parish of Bow, to the North London line at Islington;
thus the Eastern Counties obtain a western terminus at Pad-
dington, and the North London Junction a powerful ally,
and ,as we have good reason to believe, a valuable accession
of capital. It: is now therefore certain that a continuous and
unbroken line will be formed from the terminus of the Great
Western at Paddington to the Eastern Counties—a link
which, in point of fact, connects the East and West of England.
Nothing could be better devised than Nicoll's Re-
gistered Paletot to suit the ever-variable nature of our cli-
mate, forming, as it now does, not only the sine qua 71071 of the
railway traveller, but is equally so adapted for any gentleman
taking out-door exercise. It may be said distinctly to mark
the costume of the nineteenth century, if that is rightly
called marked which is only conspicuous for an unpretending
and graceful bearer, the wearer feeling so much at ease.
Certainly as an over-coat it is patronised highly, and is also
a general public favourite, being se peculiarly English, and
avoiding all foreign extravagance of style. It must
be acknowledged as a vast improvement over the
old great coat, associated in our remembrance with an
uncomfortable sensation of tight buttonings, which, from its
very clumsiness, defeated its object, the warmth of the per-
' son, as interfering with the proper circulation of the blood.

[ADVERTISENIENT.]—KING'S EVIL OR SCROFULA
EFFECTUALLY CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT-
MENT.—Very lately some of the most surprising cures in this
terrible complaint have been made by the powerful virtues of
these universal medicines. If space would admit, the par-
ticulars of some few cases might be cited, which would no
doubt astonish our greatest medical men. Suffice it to say,
that many who had been cripples for years have been restored
to the use of their limbs, their wounds being completely, healed;
while perfect health, by means of these pills, has been the
portion or blessing of all who have been so fortunate as to use
these admirable medicines. Sold by all druggists, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway 5 Establishment, 244, Strand, LOMIOR.

Isaac Drew, the son, stated that lie saw the deceased on
Friday last in Trinity. square. He was then in a state of
great nervousness, and wanted witness to take 4L, as he was
going to make away with himself. Witnes, remonstrated
with him, but hereplied, "I must, I must old it!" He then
left the deceased, and did not see him again until Monday,
when he was dead. Witness thought he had destroyed his
own life, but could not make out what had become of the
money which he had in his possession on the night before his
death. He was of opinion that he had been robbed, as the
empty stocking in which he carried his money was lying in

Inspector Collier said he had ascertained that the deceased
left two sovereigns. with a publican, and probably he bad
placed the other portion which was missing in some indivi-
dual's hands to take care of, which he had been in the habit
of doing for years past.
The jury returned the following verdict :—" That the de-
ceased had destroyed his own life, being at the time in a
state of temporary mental derangement, brought on by his
habits of intemperance."

out, and his Imperial Highness was highly gratified with the

A RAILWAY ANBCDOTIL—In a village in the
neighbourhood of Lancaster is a knight of the thimble, who
is in the habit of working at the office of his employers;
and being sent for the other day to measure a farmer for a
pair of " smalls," the conversation turned on the merits of a
certain railway now in progress, which has excited consider-
able local interest. The farmer was anxious to know the
nature of the embankments, viaducts, &c., and snip being
desirous of obliging him, as he was one of his best customers,
took a piece of chalk, and drew on the cloth intended for the
" smalls" a fac-simile of the undertaking, which, with the
aid of a little oral explanation, completely satisfied the
querist, who then went to look after his labourers. And now
conies the cream of the affair. The tailor, to make up for
lost time, plied his shears with unwonted energy; but rail-
way matters being uppermost in his mind, instead of the
" unmentionables" haying a grand trunk and two small
parallel lines, he cut a communication from one end of the
cloth to the other, and did not discover that he had followed
the chalk marks denoting the " rail" until it was too late to
rectify the blunder.—Liverool Courier.

Marlborough Sheep, Cattle, and Horse Fair, was
held on Marlborough-common, on the 24th, many graziers
and dealers present. About 45,000 sheep were penned, prin-
cipally of the Southdown breed. Not more than from five
to six thousand Dorset and Somerset sheep offered for sale ;
a few pens of tine Leicester sheep, and some Merino
lambs, the wool of which, being of superior quality to even
that from the Southdown sheep, seems to induce graziers to
favour the breed of them. Prices were equal to those ob-
tained at the last Appleshain Fair, and from Is. 6d. to 3s.
per head higher than those obtained last Monday at An-
dover. The quantity did not exceed the usual average;
nearly all were sold early in the day. The prices may be
quoted as follows :—Southdown ewes from 265. to 365. per
head; Southdown lambs, 18s. to 355. per head; Southdown
wethers, 28s. to 40s. per head ; fat wethers, d
to 4s. Bd. per stone of 81bs. ; fat lambs, 4s. Rd. to sa._ per
stone of 81bs. horse Fain—This fair is noted for the sale or
show of cart colts, and other horses of a superior kind brought
from Rugby large horse fair, held there the week_ previous ;
many dealers attending to purchase from the West of Eng-
land, as also from London. Great prices were obtained for
dray-horses used in London, which must be of superior size
and strength. fine young cart colts fetched from 201. to
50/. each ; Inferior ditto, 151. to 301. ditto.
RELIC or PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART._
A gentleman in Zetland has in his possession a snuff-box
which belonged to Prince Charles Edward Stuart. This
article is highly prized by its owner, who, about thirty years
ago, received it from his father, in the Island of Bute. It is
rather well finished, is neatly mounted with silver, and has, at
the bottom, what in the Highlands is called a seruggag•—
