THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAV EVENING, trULY 14, 1845.

When the line is completed, they will not mit have the best
north and south communication at Grantharld; but the best
communication to the west of England. You are aware that
we have a scheme before Parliament for a line from Swinton
to Lincoln and from Lincoln to Ely. This scheme has been all
but rejected for the present, but I see no reason why it should
not be prosecuted next session if we do not this. We will,
gentlemen, now come a little nearer home. We propose to
make a line from Burton to Leicester. We have made ar-
rangements by which /we have purchased the Leicester and
Swaonington Railway. We have guaranteed to the pro-
prietors of that railway an interest of eight per
cent., the return which the railway makes to them
at the present time. We feel that it is important
that we should have possession of that line, as it will form part
of the line from Burton to Leicester. There are other mea-
sures which are before us, by which we hope to fortify your
position, and by which we shall endeavour to make our railways
afford the public accommodation in the best possible manner.
We may consider that we have now 800 miles of railway
which have been sanctioned by Parliament, all carried on, and
to be carried on, I may say, under one direction. We shall,
therefore, be enabled to carry on the undertakings in a manner
far more efficiently than it would be possible for any other
company to do. I am sure that every one around me will
admit that a more perfect establishment than ours could not be
found, and I hope and trust that it will long continue to be so,
and I trust that we shall continue the undertaking in such a
manner as to entitle us to the continued support of those who
have invested their looney in these Companies. Gentlemen,
there is one other matter to which I beg to call your attention,
and that is that in the next published returns of the Midland
Railway we shall include the receipts of the Birmingham and
Gloucester and Gloucester and Bristol lines. We think it
better that they should appear together. I hope and trust that
the receipts which have latterly appeared have been satisfac-
tory to the Proprietors. I think that they justify the step
which we took as Directors, in leasing the Birmingham and
Bristol lines. I think that the receipts will still continue to
be satisfactory, and still further justify the step which we took.
—( Applause.) The reason why we thought it better to unite
the receipts of all the Companies was, that it would give you
a better opportunity of estimating the value of your stock.
Gentlemen, 1 have now discharged my duty as chairman of
this meeting ; but there is one other subject to which I beg to
call your attention.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. STEPHENSON.

The CHAIRMAN continued. The subject which lam about
to bring under your notice is one which has already occupied
your attention, and I may say the attention of the whole rail-
way world. I had the honour of bringing the subject forward
at the meeting at York, of the York and North Midland Com-
pany, and also at the meeting of the Newcastle and Darlington
Company. We shall not take any resolution now ; but I have
now alluded to the subject in order to give the public notice,
with the approbation of my colleagues, of our intention to
submit a proposition to you with reference to an individual to
whom, I believe, all will admit this country owes a deep debt
of gratitude for his having invented the locomotive, and applied
it to railways, and brought the railways to their present state
of perfection. This is not the first public tribute that has been
paid to his ability; the town of Liverpool has had the honour
of taking the lead, as she had a right to do, but we all owe him
a deep debt of gratitude. Every Proprietor in the kingdom is
indebted to my friend George Stephenson.—( Cheers.) lam
sure that the proposition, which it is our intention to submit,
will be received with that cordiality and warmth by this Com-
pany which it fully deserves. I will say no more at present,
because I have dwelt on a former occasion on the excellencies
of my friend. With these observations, I beg to thank you for
the hearing you have given me, and I hope to meet you on
the 25th, when I expect to bring with me a satisfactory state-
ment of our affairs.—The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst
loud applause.
A PROPRIETOR suggested to the Chairman the propriety of
taking steps to support the Derby and Crewe Company, as
the Tean and Dove Valley Company had lately altered their
plans, and might, therefore, become a source of competition
with projects sanctioned and supported by the Midland Com-
pany.
The CHAIRMAN said such a matter had better be left to be
discussed in the board-room.

Colonel BLAINE suggested that, as a proposition for a tes-
timonial to Mr. Stephenson had been made, it would be a good
opportunity for steps being taken for getting up a testimonial
to Mr. Hudsen.—( Cheers).
The thanks of the meeting were then voted to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated.

BURGESS' ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps,London,
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
make, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genee
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cautions:—Some are in appearance at first sight, '• the genuine," but
without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
and others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
Burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

LONDON, MONDAY. JULY 14. 1845.

We confidently anticipate that Lord ASHLEY'S Lunatic
Bill will be postponed till next session. Owing to the
determined oppo,ition of Mr. T. DITNCOMBE, the fur-
ther consideration of the scheme was deferred on Friday till
t)-mot row, when it is to go into Committee. We there-
fore earnestly intreat the attendance of Members at the
early sitting, in order that they may judge for them-
selves, and not trust either to the well-known humanity
of the noble author of the Bill, or to the savings which it
may effect as compared with the present state of the law.
The expense, in fact, ought to be thrown entirely out of
the question, for the amount, even supposing the plan to
be carried into effect on the most liberal scale, would
be nothing when weighed in the balance with the
vast benefits that may be conferred not only on the
insane, but on persons of sound mind, liable to be iniprie

NEW ZEALAND.

Mr. HAWES put a question, the substance of which was,
as far as we can collect, whether any official information had
been received concerning recent outrages, which had taken
place in New Zealand.
Mr. G. 0. HOPE said, that since the Hon. Member put
the question before, he had received information which would
enable him to reply to the question of the Honourable
Gentleman. A dispatch was_ received at the Colonial-
office yesterday from Captain Fitzroy. The dispatch was
dated the 26th of March. The accounts therein given agreed
with those published in the Times and other newspapers five or
six days ago.—( Hear, hear.) The dispatch set forth that the
attack had been made by the same chief for the same I.urpose,
but that it was of an insurrectionary character. It had been
suspected for some days that an outbreak would take place, but
it was not expected that it would occur for some days
subsequent to the period at which it actually did occur.
They met in collision. The advance of the natives was re-
pelled, and in the conflict Captain Roberts fell. The settlers,
however, held their ground, and repulsed the natives. From
the effect of the shots the powder magazine blew up. The
loss altogether, taking troops, settlers, and seamen into ac-
count, was 13 killed and 23 wounded. The loss of the natives
had not been ascertained, but it was very considerable. In
justice to the natives he must say that after the
settlers retired, they forwarded a woman and child which they
found in a block-house under a flag of truce to the settlement.
Troops were requested after this melancholy event, but they
did net arrive till the 23rd. The effects of this conflict were
looked upon with great alarm. He did not think that it had
arisen from accidental circumstances. It proceeded
from a disposition on the part of the naive chiefs to deny

NUNEATON, BEDWORTH, AND COVENTRY BRANCH.

The Directors of the Leicester and Birmingham Railway Company,
having had surveys made of the country between Nuneaton, Bed-
worth, and Coventry, with the view of giving a direct communica-
tion between those important districts and Leicester and Birming-
ham, and having included the same in their Parliamentary Deeds,
felt it their duty to oppose before Parliament the project for making a
Railway from Coventry to Bulkington, miscalled " The Coventry,
Bedworth, and Nuneaton Railway." This opposition was completely
successful, and the Bill thrown out ; and the Directors of the Leices-
ter and Birmingham, observing that other parties are now taking up
their project between Nuneaton and Coventry. give notice that it is
their frill intention to carry out their Direct " Nuneaton, Bedworth,
and Coventry Branch," in connexion with their Leicester and Bir-
mingham line, affording the best and most beneficial route for pas-
senger and mineral traffic. S. S. BAXTER, Solicitor.

TOL. VIII. OF LIVES OF THE QUEENS
OF ENGLAND.

BY AGNES STRICKLAND,

" The eighth volume of this most interesting and valuable work
contains the Lives of two Queens, who played a very prominent part
in the most remarkable era of English history—namely, Henrietta
Maria, th 3 wife of Charles 1., and Catherine of Braganza, the wife
ofCharles 11. The picture which M.ss Strickland draws of the
domestic life of Charles I. and his unfortunate but highly talented
and accomplished Queen, is fascinating in the extreme. She appears
to have carefully examined all the writings of the period, and her
opinions, consequently, are all founded on facts. The life of Cathe-
rine is equally full of interesting and entertaining matter. The in-
ternal economy of the court of Charles 11., and the dissoluteness
that prevailed, are set before the reader in a manner that presents
the best and the most faithful picture of the state of things at the era
in which they occurred. The present volume, on the whole, in the
great research which it displays, is fully equal to any that have pre-
ceded it, while in point of interest, arising from the fact of its ap-
proaching more nearly to our own times, it very far surpasses them.
The work, when completed, will be one of the most valuable addi-
tions that for many years has been made to the library of the his-
torian."—Sunday Times.

fii' ILEXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON
YORTSMOUTH, JULY 13.—Tho squadron now at Spithead
under the orders of Rear-Admiral H)de Parker, is officially
reported ready fur sea, and will leave the anchorage on the trial
cruise to-morrow.

This beingihelast opportunity we may have for some time
of mentioning in detail the experimental squadron, we will
give a few particulars respecting the construction, &c., of eaeh
ship, which may be interesting to the general as well as the
nautical reader.

The St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, the flag-ship of
Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, Commander-in-Chief of the
squadron, was built on the lines furnished by the late Sir
William Rule; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain W. F. Martin,
was built by Mr. Oliver, Lang, Master Shipwright of Wool-
wich Dockyard, at that yard, in 1841 ; the Queen, 110, Cap-
tain Sir B. Walker, was built on the plan furnished by Sir W.
Symonds, Surveyor of the Navy, at Portsmouth Dockyard, in
1839 ; the Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier, was built on
the plans furnished by the late Sir Robert Seppings (Surveyor
of the Navy), at Pembroke Dockyard, in 183'3; the Albion,
90, Captain Nicholas Lockyer, was built on the plans of Sir
William Symonds ( Surveyor of the Navy), at Devonport Dock-
yard, in 1843 ; the Vanguard, 80, Captain G. W. Willes, and
the Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Corry, were also built by Sir
William Symonds (the former at Pembroke Dockyard in 1836,
and the latter at the same yard in 1842); the Canopus, 84,
Captain F. Moresby, is of French construction, and was cap-
ture:l at the battle of the Nile.

These are the eight ships forming the experimental squadron
of 1845, which will sail from Spithead on Tuesday to try their
respective qualities as models for future ships of their class. As
this is professedly to be a trial of fairness we may be excused
for offering a few remarks upon what appears to us a want of
equity in the said trial. It will no doubt strike the reader, as
it does us, as somewhat strange, and at variance with those
les of impartiality upon which a squadron of such import-
sold be sent out for the attainment of so great and na-
important an end, that four of the eight ships corn-
it are by one constructor, and twe of them of the same

This short but important railway will be the means of placing
these two populous and opulent towns in immediate connexion. The
great accommodation such a line wiil afford, and the peculiar advan-
tages which its locality possesses, offer most unusual inducements for
its formation. Besides affording a direct railway communication
between these towns, it will accommodate a large and increas-
ing local traffic, comprising the whole agricultural produce of this
important district of the county. of Kent ; and looking at the general
traffic which this line will exclusively command, there is no question
that it will afford an ample return on the capital invested.
The entire length of the railway will be about 16 miles. Pre-
liminary surveys have already been made, and the line presents no
engineering difficulties, nor are there any works involving great
expense.

TESTIMONIAL TO MR. STEPHENSON.

The CHAIRMAN continued. The subject which lam about
to bring under your notice is one which has already occupied
your attention, and I may say the attention of the whole rail-
way world. I had the honour of bringing the subject forward
at the meeting at York, of the York and North Midland Com-
pany, and also at the meeting of the Newcastle and Darlington
Company. We shall not take any resolution now ; but I have
now alluded to the subject in order to give the public notice,
with the approbation of my colleagues, of our intention to
submit a proposition to you with reference to an individual to
whom, I believe, all will admit this country owes a deep debt
of gratitude for his having invented the locomotive, and applied
it to rail ways, and brought the railways to their present state
of perfection. This is not the first public tribute that has been
paid to his ability ; the town of Liverpool has had the honour
of taking the lead, as she had a right to do, but we all owe him
a deep debt of gratitude. Every Proprietor in the kingdom is
indebted to my friend George Stephenson.—( Cheers. ) I am
sure that the proposition, which it is our intention to submit,
will be received with that cordiality and warmth by this Com-
pany which it fully deserves. I will say no more at present,
because I have dwelt on a former occasion on the excellencies
of my friend. With these observations, I beg to thank you for
the hearing you have given me, and I hope to meet you on
the 25th, when I expect to bring with me a satisfactory state-
ment of our affairs.—The Hon. Gentleman sat down amidst
loud applause.
A PROPRIETOR suggested to the Chairman the propriety of
taking steps to support the Derby and Crewe Company, as
the Tean and Dove Valley Company had lately altered their
plans, and might, therefore, become a source of competition
with projects sanctioned and supported by the Midland Com-
pany.
'1 he CHAIRMAN said such a matter had better be left to be
discussed in the board-room. _ _

Colonel BLAINE suggested that, a proposition for a tes-
timonial to Mr. Stephenson had been made, it would be a good
opportunity for steps being taken for getting up a testimonial
to Mr. fludsen..—(Cheers).
The thanks of the meeting were then toted to the Chairman,
and the meeting separated.
