Irish Sunday School Society,

To promote the establishment and facilitate thecOnducting
of Sunday schools in Ireland, by disseminating the most
approved principles for the management of such schools, by
supplying them with spelling-books, and copies of the Sacred
Scriptures, or extracts, without note or comment, either gra-
tuitously or at reduced prices.

Society for Promoting Christianity
amongst the Jews.
The name of this Society sufficiently explains its object.
It is to lead the lost sheep of the house of Israel to that Sa-
viour whom they crucified.
Christians are under a heavy obligation to the Jews, for it
was by them that the Sacred Volums was preserved, and to
them they stand indebted for Christianity itself. But they
should feel interested on their behalf, not only for the blessings
of the past, but on account of the glory that is in store for
the world when the Jews shall be restored to their own land.
There are 50 Agents in connection with the Society, and of
these, eight church clergymen and twenty-three missionaries
arc converted Jews.
The Society has the strongest claims upon all Christians.
Achill Mission.
Dingle Mission.

The whole income of all the above Societies together, in
the wealthy and important town of Liverpool, with a popula-
tion of above 200,000 persons, amounts to little more than
£3OOO. Surely there are 20,000 persons in the town (a
tenth of the population), who could afford 55. per annum
to the whole of the above Societies together, and this
would produce £5OOO. Or are there not ten congre-
gations, from each of which 500 persons could be found
willing to subscribe 2s. 6d. per annum to any of the
above of which they approve ; and this alone would
produce £5OOO. Let every one do something, be it ever so
small, and the funds of all will chew a vast increase at the
end of 1840, when, God willing, I hope again to lay the finan-
cial state of the various Societies before the public. In the
mean time, I shall be most happy to give every information
in my power respecting the operations and general effi-
ciency of all the above associations.
Collecting Boxes and Cards may be had by any clue who
will kindly take charge of-them. J. C.

FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM, FOR LIVERPOOL
AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD.

The Right Rev. the Lord BISHOP of CHESTER.
PATRONESSES:
The Right Honorable the Countess of SErroN.
The Right Honorable the LOY STANLEY.
The Right Honorable the Ley FRANCES SANDON.

VISITORS :

TN addition to the Charitable Institutions already existing
1 in Liverpool and the neighbourhood, for the relief of the
various wants of the poorer classes.,it is proposed to establish
a FEMALE ORPIIAZ,I ASYLUM. •
In the Metropolis, such an institution is amongst the
splendid monuments of its public munificence, and has been
the means of reaming thousands of orpliaii females from the
paths of misery and vice, of implanting the principles of
Christian knowledge, and sending them forth into the world
respectable and useful members of society.
To what extent a similar institution may be established
here must depend on the•bounty bestowed upon it. Children
are ever objects of the dearest social interest. If poor, that
interest increases in proportion to the penury of their condi-
tion--if not only poor, but parentless, their state of destitu-
tion excites still greater sympathy, and, in a corresponding
degree, will their claims be estimated for support and pro-
tection, upon those whom God has blessed with the ability
to relieve. them.
" Suffer little children to come unto me," evinced the
especial regard of our Blessed Saviour, who at the same time
declared " of such is the kingdom of Heaven." It is also
his assurance that " he who receives one of such little
children in my name receiveth me." The Psalmist repeat-
edly sings the praises of God as the helper and father of the
fatherless, and " to visit the fatherless in their affliction" is
pronounced by St. James to be one of the graces of " pure
and undefiled religion."
Such are the powerful incentives to our exertions in this
work of Christian charity. Should its petition for encou-
ragement be met by the Plea of too many similar requisitions,
let us remember that we are enjoined " not to be weary in
well doing," and " to do good whenever we have an oppor-
tunity."
As soon as sufficient funds are raised, it is proposed to
commence with twenty or thirty pupils, by taking a house for
the purpose in Toxteth Park, that being considered the most
airy and healthy situation.
The children will be brought up in the principles of the
Established Church, and will receive a suitable education to
lit them for domestic service.
At a competent age, they will be apprenticed, as in the
London Asylum, as servants in the families of subscribers,
or in other respectable families. It will also bean important
object to watch over their future progress, and to promote
their continual welfare, when deserving. 'With this view,
when under the necessity of changing their places, they will
be assisted in procuring others, and temporary accommoda-
tion will be afforded them, if practicable—thus keeping them
under the constant guardianship of the Institution.
The following Ladies have consented to act as a
PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE :
Mrs. Aikin, Great George-street.
Mrs. Harmood Banner, Dingle Mount, Toxteth Park.
Mrs. Thomas Brancker, South Hill Place, Toxteth Park.
Mrs. William Foster, Dingle Head, Toxteth Park.

Mors. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect-
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, ami Inhabitants of ver-
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 38 S
, Em,-STRLET,' eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill jO the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their :Mineral rmoratuni, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ;'t placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Toot ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound acid useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
he breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
Prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mons. Ix DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swerinrall the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced 'by the wearer with the greatest facility,—
at the following Paris charges :--- •
A single Artificial Tooth..
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine

An entire Set 'of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic 'Teeth' highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
and restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
state. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
rout Nine till Two.
Vcrir For the convenience of country patients, Monsieur
LE DnAy and Co. are enabled to fix a partial or complete
set of Teeth at one sitting, without the least pain or incon-
venience.

In reply to a question to a remark from Sir P. Pollock,
Chief Justice TINDAL said, here the position of the pri-
soner will be precisely the same as if we had now decided in
his favour.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL.-It.Will be like the case of all
others, where a point has been reserved for the decision of
the judges at Westminster.
Baron PatticE.—lf thi prisoner should be convicted, and
the point now reserved be decided in his favour, a pardon
will, on the recommendation of the judges, be issued as a
matter of course. There is no instance of reserving such a
point, as if it were made at nisi pries.
' The first witness examined was Samuel Simmons, who de-
posed that he lived in the parish of Woolas, in the borough
of Newport. Sir Frederick Pollock raised an objection to
the description of the witness. The prisoner, Frost. was
entitled to have the name and place of abode of the witness.
To say the parish of Woolas, in the borougli ,(f New port,
was, in the opinion of the learned gentleman, a raistii: ectian ;'
it should have been in the borough o' Newport, in the. pariah
of Woolas—it was part of the parish, and; St. Wools% ,
not in the borough, or any part of it. After thy exatoil
tion of the witness had -proceeded to some eats-at. in 1
absence- of the municipal act, that document was brought
into court, and the objection was overruled by the learned
judges. .
A number of witnesses were examined respecting the out-
break in Newport on the memorable 4th of November. At
the head of the mob was Frost ; the mob were armed with
guns, scythes, sticks, pikes, mandrels, pieces of iron, roast-
ing spits, and long staves, and such kind of weapons. The
witnesses were examined minutely as to the proceedings
before the Westgate Inn,—the attack of the Chartists on it,—
tiring of the soldiers, and all the subsequent scenes of bood-
shed, which our columns at the time detailed so minutely.
and which are so familiar to most of our readers.
The last witness called was Sir Thomas Phillips, mayor of
Newport, at the time of the outbreak. We give the most
striking parts of Sir Thomas's evidence :
I received intelligence of the approach of persons to the
town till between eight and nine o'clock on Monday, from
different points of the road, and at last I sent a request for
troops to the barracks soon after baybreak, and in conse-
quence thirty soldiers, I believe, were sent to me, under the
command of Lieutenant Gray, Sergeant Daley, and Sergeant
Armstrong. When Lieutenant Gray arrived he formed the
soldiers in front of the house, and I requested he would
march theminto the back yard. There are two gates to it,
through which carriages pass on the east side of the house.
The gates are in front of the street. I returned through the
house; and having gone into the court yard. and coming
thence, 'I saw the military go into it. They were formed in
the yard, and I desired the gates to be closed : and they were
fastened. I then took Lieutenant Gray into the room at the
east end of the house, and said the soldiers, might go in there,
if he approved of it, as a proper position. He did approve
of it. I soon after went into the front passage, hearing the
people were in the town, and I ordered the special constables
to come in, and the door to be closed. It was afterwards
' opened, and given in charge to two or three special con-
stables, with orders not to let any one enter. I then went
into a room above the commercial room, which has a bow
window, through which I could see a body of men passing the
wing of the house formed in a column. They were regularly
abreast of each other. They were all armed, some with guns
and some with long spears or pikes. I stayed a short time
there, and ran down to the passage below, and when I got
opposite the bar, I saw the heads of the column in the door-
way, or 'close upon it. They were standing with weapons by
their sides, as they appeared to me : they carried them ver-
tically. 1 ran to the room in which the soldiers were, and
said, " Lieutenant Gray, load immediately." I believe
Lieut. Gray opened the middle shutter of the window, and
opened that to the left, and I felt my left arm benumbed, and
saw two holes in my trowsers, and saw I had been wounded
in the hip, from shots fired outside. The soldiers fired into
-the street and into the passage. I saw one dead body of a
man who fell close to my feet. I think the firing did not
last more than ten minutes. Lieut. Gray knew I was wound-
ed, as I mentioned it to him immediately ; but I do not know
if I told him before the soldiers fired. The special constables
had not guns ; they had only staves, to my knowledge. As
far as I know, peace was soon after restored, but 1 was oblig-
ed to give up the charge of the town to others, The wound
in my arm was severe ; the other was a flesh wound. I did
not leave the room till the affray was over. The present ma-
Or (Mr. Hawkins) was with me all night, giving directions.
The night was wet and windy. .
Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY--I am an attorney, and
was in partnership with Mr. Protheroe to the close of 1839,
from June, 1824. I have been, and am interested in coal-
mines. I have not mentioned Frost's name during the exa-
mination, but I h'ave known him about seventeen or eighteen
years. I was well'acqua.inted With him during the progress
of the reform bill, but had no intercourse with him before
then. There had been a difference between him and Mr.
Protheroe. There were an action and two indictments by
Mr. Protherne against Frost ; but I do not know of any dif-
ference since then, which was in 1824. I met Frost at the
time of the reform bill, arid' on-Other occasions also. I had
opportunities of observing his public conduct.
Sir Thomas Phillips,in continuance of his cross-examina.
tion, said—l 'am not certain as to the allusions I made re-
specting a majority of 37. I attended the Usk meeting, at
which the high sheriff was to have presided. That was a
county meeting. 'I might have then made some observations
in allusion to the majority of the House of Lords. I believe
I did say something concerning the majority of 37 in the
House of Lords. I think I did make some observations re-
garding it. I have no doubt of it. I cannot tell what it was
that I said. I censured the majority, but as far as my recol-
lection goes I did not u'se offensive terms. I believe I did
not use offensive terms. I believe I did not say what their
deserts should be, or what they should meet. I believe I did
not wish that the majority should meet the fate of certain
parties in France. I believe I did not. I believe I alluded
to what occurred in France. I may have alluded to the pre-
decessors of the present King of France. I have no recol-
lection of having said that the 35 should meet their fate. I
I have no recollection of having said anything of the kind.
I will not undertake to swear that I did not, as I have no
recollection on the subject. At that meeting I made allusion
to the Bishops. I know of no serious disturbances in New-
port before the last. I remember having heard that the pre-
sent Duke of Beaufort was insulted during his canvass. This
occurred between seven and eight years ago. I was not pre--
sent at those disturbances. I was not then eithei mayor or
magistrate. I have no recollection of the part taken by Mr.
Frost in those occurrences: At that time Mi. Frost and I
differed.: Some heat might have been shoavn ; buf during
that period I witnessed nothing 'reprehensible in him. This
brings to -my recollection that he said something severe
against me. I think that during those times there was no-
thing tending to riot. I had an opportunity of witnessing his
public conduct during his mayoralty. He was 'a manistrate
three years. I would rather not answer whether f found
fault with him as a magistrate. I believe he acted on 'the
impression that he was right. I would rather say that Mr.
Frost thought he was right. I have lived in Newport 20
years. I cannot say' that his conduct as a private individual
and head of a family has been, such as it ought to be. I
know nothing of him as the head'of a family. I took the,
question put' to me in two branches: I know nothing of him
as the head of his family-, in his relations of private life. I
have seen Vincent. I was present at his trial, which was
conducted by the magistrates at the instance of the govern-
ment. I considered that to be a government prosecution.
The magistrates were local agents, who conducted the pro-
secution 'through the means of their clerk. Vincent was
convicted at the la.it assizes. Ido not know whether the
supposed treatment of Vincent was the subject of public
complaint. .
ATTORNEY-GENERAL.-I object to such a question.
Mr. KELLY,—I have a right to ask whether the treatment
cpoatpinerts:m&ca:
which Vincent experienced was the subject of a national
complaint.
Chief Justice TINDAL.—I suppose he received that in-
formation from newspapers. The paper should be produced.

toriety. -

of no such meeting. I attended a public meeting in the spring
of the year, when it wasagreed
to present an address of loy-
alty to the Queen, and resolutions were passed to support
the lawful authority. This meeting produced by was meet-
ings previously held. I was in Newport the whole of the day
of the 3d Nov. On the previous Thursday I received such
intelligence that led me to order special
constables to be sworn
in, not in consequence of anything that would occur on that
(Sunday) night, but at sonic other time. On Saturday I gave
instructions to the superintendent of police to have the con-
stables in readiness. As early as 12 o clock on Sunday night
prisoners were first taken. They were brought before my
colleague and myself at the Westgate. I should say that the
mob dispersed in ten minutes after I was wounded. I should
say that the streets were cleared in ten minutes afterwards.
I don't know that when the Duke of Beaufort was candidate,
Mr. Frost protected him from ill-treatment. I was not then
either mayor or magistrate.
Re-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—.I cannot re-
collect that I made allusion at the meeting to the French re-
volution in the way that Mr. Kelly suggested—then or at
any other time.

Monthly;

The main difficulty, or doubt, however, that would suggest
itself here, would be, whether there was any reason to expect,
from a dissolution, any addition to the ranks of their adherents ;
or whether it was not rather more probable, that such a loss
would be experienced as would snatch the reins of government
immediately and irretrievably, from their hands.
Still, however, the question would return of what was
to be done ? To remain in the present state of " dead lock"
seems impossible ; resign, it had been previously resolved,
and " by her Majesty's special command," was to be the
very last step resorted to. What then remained, but to try
the only remaining alternative, and to rpsh upon a general
election?
Upon the hypothesis, then, that the Melbourne ministry
will remain in office as long as it is possible to do so, we have
a right to look for a dissolution immediately after the meet-
ing of parliament on the 16th of January. Or supposing
them to come to the conclusion that such a step would
amount to an act of felo de se; and to prefer a simple abdi-
cation ; then we have Sir Robert Peel at once in office ; and
it is impossible to doubt that his VERY FIRST STEP would
be to appeal to the country at large, on the broad and tangi-
ble question of, Will you have a Conservative government
or no?
Either way, then, every conservative constituency in. Eng-
land, Scotland, and Ireland, ought to be prepared, before
the 20th of January, with its candidates, its committee, and
its sinews of war. To every such body we put the question,
in the most earnest and emphatic tones that we can com-
mand, ARE YOU READY ?
If the conservatives, or, in other words, if the educated,
intelligent, moral, and religious inhabitants of these islands,
are but properly aroused to the importance of this, the final
struggle, we may expect, under the blessing of God, a return.
of the days of peace and order, and security. If not;—if
from their own inactivity, or from the inherent vices of the
Reform bill, the coming struggle shall prove abortive, then.
may we indeed resign ourselves to despair, or turn our hopes
to other and happier regions. But we will not even allow
our imaginations to picture such an issue. We know that
the conservatives can win the approaching battle ; and we
will not permit ourselves to suppose that they will lose such
an opportunity.

(From the Bolton Chronicle.)
Whoever expects justice, reasons, or gentlemanly conduct
at the hands of her Majesty's ministers, may' expect some-
thing. farther of swine than the nasal sound which is generally
anticipated. The tools of the adMinistration partake of the
degraded character of their employers : " like master, like
man," is a proverb no less ancient than 'true, and especially
applicable to the whig ministry and their dirty myrmidons.
In October last, a man of low character, who is in the ha-
bit of spitting his venom at all persons of respectability and
character, wrote to Lord Normanby, stating, that Mr. Addi-
sou, the hairman of the Quarter Sessions, at Preston, was
in the habit of inquiring from the chaplain of the gaol, re-
specting any confessions made to him by the prisoners com-
mitted for trial, and that Mr. Addison made use of informa-
tion thus procured in the prosecution of his judicial inquiry
as chairman. Lord Normanby, without taking the least trou-
ble to ascertain the real character of the calumniator, directed
M r. F. Maule, his secretary, to address a letter to Mr. Addison,
calling upon that gentleman to produce a full statement of
the case, to vindicate himself from the grievous charge pre-
ferred against him. Mr. Addison in reply explained that the
chaplain was bound by a certain clause in an act of parlia-
ment, for the regulation of gaols,. to present a report 'to the
magistrates attending at the Quarter Sessions, and that this
report he (Mr. Addison) always perused. Mr. Addison in-
dignantly repelled the accusation so aeadily entertained •by
his Lordship, and informed the sweet " Matilda" of the Home
Department, the pride and glory of the " Minerva Press,"
the life and soul of the circulating libraries, that his lordship
was mistaken if he supposed that he (Mr. Addison) was his
Lordship's subordinate ; and startled Lord Flimsy with the
intelligence that " though he might insult he had no power
to degrade him ;" since the county Palatine was out of his
" sweep of control." This reply brought a second letter from
the Home Office,..in which Lord Flimsy declared his intention
of laying Mr. Addison's insulting letter before the Lord Lieu-
tenant,in order that the magistrates acting with Mr. Addison
might judge of the tone in which a subject had dared to ad-
dress so high a functionary as the ex-Viceroy of Ireland.
On Wednesday last, new year's day, a meeting of the magis-
trates was held, and the letters read, when lo ! the magis-
trates so far from coinciding with Lord Flimsy, declared
their sense of his tyrannical and unprecedented interference
in the following resolutions which were unanimously
carried :
" Resolved unanimously—That the magistrates here as-
sembled much regret that any charge against a gentleman
occupying the very important and respectable situation of
Chairman to the Sessions, should have been entertained by
the Marquis of Normanby, without, as appears from the
documents produced, due inquiry having been. previously
made into the station, character, and motives of the accuser;
and consequently, this Court considers Mr. Addison justi-
fied under all the circumstances, in writing the letter to Mr.
Fox Maule, dated the 22d day of October, 1839.
" That the Magistrates assembled take this occasion to
record their high sense of the ability, patience, and integrity
with which their Chairman, Thomas Batty Addison, Esq.
has for fifteen years, at a considerable sacrifice of profes-
sional emolument and bodily health, gratuitously discharged
the numerous and oppressive duties of his office." ,
" That copies of- these resolutions be transmitted to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Chancellor
of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Lord Lieutenant, the Chairman
of these Sessions, and to the magistrates of the Hundreds
of Amoundness, Blackburn, and Leyland. (Signed)

Among the signatures of the magistrates will be found the
names of gentlemen of all shades of politics ; the chairman,
indeed, Jos. Bushell, Esq., is a Roman Catholic, and a strong
Whig. We need not add, the Home Secretary has no juris-
diction in the county, the Chancellor of the Duchy being the
only authority.

whilst those who have purchased, not being recognised by
the company, do not feel themselveS compelled to pay. Other
shareholders, who have purchased merely for the temporary
purposes of speculation, cannot conveniently pay, yet still
hold on in hopes of a change ; and from both', these causes
arises the first symptom of difficulty for the directors. Fur-
ther calls increase the arrear and the entanglement, until at
length the concern is placed in a dead lock. In the meantime
the price of its shares has gone on decreasing, and (worst
symptom of all) dissension has arisen between directors and
their shareholders, who, instead of working together, relying
upon each other for the support necessary to enable them to
attain their mutual object, have become antagonist, bodies.
The directors have contracted liabilities, and must have
funds; the shareholders have lost confidence, and will not,
or have speculated rashly, and cannot supply them.
Under these circumstances, the act of parliament points
out two courses of action for the adoption of the directors.
The first is, to forfeit and sell all shares upon which the calls
made are two months in arrear ; and the second, to proceed
at law against each individual shareholder for the amount
I which may be due from him in respect of the shares for which
he is registered. If the former course were adopted, no
difficulty wmild arise, provided the shares forfeited were
worth the amount paid upon them, or any part of it. But
in most cases' such shares are at present at so great a discount

EXTRAORDINARY RECOVERY OF PROPERTY OF A FRAU-
DULENT BANKRUPT.—About the end of last year, a_person
absconded from Manchester with goods to a large amount,
and in debt some thousands. In February last, one of the
creditors consulted Messrs. Beswick, solicitors, Bennett's
Hill, Birmingham, as to the best mode to be adopted for the
recovery of his claim ; and on the 21st of that month, a fiat
in bankruptcy was issued out by those gentlemen against the
party. The necessary papers were then prepared and duly
authenticated by the authorities here, for the purpose of
seizing the books and property of the bankrupt at Sidney,
to which place it was discovered he had gone under a false
name. A messenger, who was on the point of leaving for'
that colony on '
other business, undertook the execution of
the warrant against him; and upon arriving at Sidney; he
succeeded, after considerable trouble, in seizing a vast quan-
tity of papers of great value to the estate, and upwards of one
thousand five hundred pounds' worth of property. The
messenger to whom this important trust was confided was
Mr. Badham, sheriff's officer, Cannon-street, Birmingham,
in whose praise too much cannot be said for his activity on
this occasion. The colonial office was consulted previously
to the document being sent, and gave every assistance to fur-
ther the exertions of Messrs. Beswick.—Birmingham

TUE "SPORTING AMATEUR."—The sporting, or, as he
is termed in the bills, " the distinguished amateur," who, to
decide a wager (?) " is bound to appear at a certain number
of theatres in a given time, "went on" last night to per-
form the character of Pierre, and .such an exhibition—to
call it acting would be preposterous—it has scarcely ever been
my lot to witness. The " amateur" read some portions of
the text smoothly enough, and when he attempted to act he
was greeted with precisely the same description of applause
which " Romeo Coates" some twenty or thirty years ago,
was wont to be honoured with ; but to see poor Pierre—a
noble villain, to say the worst of him, and deserving of a
better friend than the vacillating Jajfier—cut and mangled in
the way he was, would have almost made the talented but
eccentric Kean leap from his grave at -such a profanation

We deprecate, as much as the Editor of the Railway
Magazine can do, the truckling of directors to the whims of
every shareholder, or the convenience of every needy specu-
lator. Their duty is a plain and straightforward one, from
which no inducement should lead them to deviate. If their
course of proceeding is right, public opinion will go with
them, and if it does not the cause can only be found in a
want of correct information as to their views and prospects,
and that information they are bound to supply. We have no
wish to see directors of railways operating in the share mar-
ket to create exaggerated hopes of profit ; but we do think it
their duty to prevent, if possible, the circulation of un-
founded prejudice, by which their undertaking, and those
embarked in it, may be depressed, and that duty can be per-
formed without in the least degree overstepping the path of
proper dignity, or exceeding the powers confided in them by
their shareholders. It is of paramount importance to the
successful progress of a public undertaking .that its shares,
should always bear a fair, and if possible a steady, and even
a high market price ; and we think that, on consideration,the
Editor of .the Railway Magazine will admit that he has
been somewhat hasty in his assertion to the contrary.
" NORTH MIDLAND RAILwAs..— The directors of this

EARTHQUAKE IN DORSETSHIRE

(From the Lpme Regis Correspondent of the Shipping
. Gazette.) .
One of the greatest convulsions of nature ever on record,
or that has taken place within the memory of Tau in this
neighbourhood, has occurred in Dowlands and Bending Cliffs,
situated between Lyme and Axmouth harbour. Various are
the opinions formed respecting it—some attributing it to the
long-continued and heavy rains, others insisting on its being
an earthquake. If we may judge from its effects, it certainly
has every feature of the latter.. We are no strangers to the
occasional sliding of the dila. on this part of the coast,
both east and west ; but here is presented a scene of awful
grandeur.
The above cliffs, which arevery lofty, are about three miles
west of Lyme Regis.
On Christmas-eve, Mr. Chaple, the tenant of Dowland's
estate, invited his workmen to the farm-house, to regale them
for the evening, among whom were the occupants of four cot-
tages, situated on the common at the foot of the cliffs. On
their return home they found considerable difficulty in opening
their doors, but took but little notice of it. On rising on
Christmas morning, they discovered. a settlement of their
houses, and becoming alarmed, removed their goods with
all speed,. and retired to Dowland's farm, about a mile on
the top of the cliffs, for safety—and very providentially too,
for shortly after an immense portion of the top cliffs, con-
sisting of between forty and fifty acrr of arable and
pasture land, with all their crops, together with the
common below, sunk to a depth varyiag, from 50. to 200
feet, two of the above tenements beins, completely buried,
whilst the other two are shattered to being,
very foundations.
The scene presents a spectacle not easily. described—gigantic
rocks having been rent asunder, lofty trees buried beneath
the mighty mass, with only their tops visible ; large fields,
with their; crops, separated, one. psat.here and another there;
immense precipices formed, awed; chasms which appear bot-
tomless, the whole, of which strike the beholder with terror
.and amazement,-and present fi,stri;cing view of the Almighty
power of Him " who holds the-mountains in scales, and the
hills in a, balance." The length of cliffs affected by this
Shock is more than two miles, and perhaps in breadth about
one, encompassing About .1 thousand acres. But perhaps the
mostteuriarkahle phenomenon of the whole is, that, immense
and ponderOus rocks hi front of this scene of action have
been forced by the concussion from their beds,. where they
have reposed. for ages, under the bed of the ocean beyond
low-watet nark, make their, appearance hi pyramids and
different fotms—th sOme places, forty and Aity feet above the
sand, and hive Woriderfhlly formed a sort of harbour, whilst
the beach; adjoining the laud remains unmoved. Boats have
entered this naturally-formed harbour on the eastern side,
which is shallow, and found in the middle three fathoms of
water. Outside the rocks thus formed, towards the sea, is
about five fathoms at high water. Thousands of persons have
already been to visit this extraordinary scene. No doubt but
it will attract numbers of the nobility and gentry to Lyme
Regis. The celebrated Penny Cliffs, which are situated be-
tween Lyme and Dowlands, and which have been so much
admired for their romantic scenery, sink into comparative
insignificance,—their lofty rocks must " hide their diminished
heads" when compared with the grandeur and sublimity
which Dowland's Cliffs will in future present. The cele-
brated Dr. Buckland, of Oxford, the eminent geologist, who
has been residing in Lyme for some time past, has prolonged
his stay, in order to explore and view the wonders of this
phenomenon of nature. He states that he never witnessed
anything equal to it in England. It is to be hoped that his,
or some other able pen, will gratify the public by a full and
proper description of the scene. -

empowered by their last act to create. In the present state
of the money market, however, they have thought it right
to offer the new shares of £5.0 each to the proprietors of
orignial,shares at.the price of £4O per share; the new £5O
shares will; be exititlid to the same dividend,, pro rata, as the
original £lOO shares, that is, one-half. The first instalment
of £lO per share on the new shares is payable on the Isth
of January ; and we understand that 'the other' instalments
will be called for at short periods. The diiectors are confi-
dent that the capital raised by the new shares will complete
the undertaking."—Leeds Intelligencer.

We can confidently recommend this unique and in-
telligent little work. . It may be studied as much for theprac-
tical lessons of wisdom it contains, as for the admonitions it
offers on the usages and observances of good society."—
Telegraphy May 10.
" This beautiful little book really deserves all the credit
which our contemporaries have given it; and we believe-that
as much and as valuable instruction is contained in its_pages
as could well be compressed into a similar space."—Journal,
May 20.

We have here a striking instance of the sacrifices which
public companies were compelled to make in raising capital,
whilst their shares are at a discount. The North Nidland
Company's shares are now at a discount of about 12 to 15
per cent., and to raise the additional capital required, they
have to present to those who accept these new shares a bonus
of 20 per cent.

(From the Tautiton Courier.)
On ChriStmas Eve, about si.x, the residents in the houses
and cottages along the coast, between Lyme and Seaton, were
alarmed by a convulsion of the earth, attended with fearful.
sounds. This astonishing occurrence. was succeeded by re;.-
terations of the phenomena; and it was soon ascertained tb at
a course of mischief was in serious operation. On arriv:Lng
at a part of the coast called Dowlands, . a quarter of a mile
from the sea, it was found that a large portion of the lanil, on
which there were several cottages, orchards' and a cop pice,
had been separated from their sites, leaving huge Chas ins in
a lateral direction along the coast, between Sidmone a and
Seaton, to the extent of upwards of four miles. The c ,mvul-
sions of the earth continued at various intervals fry an the
night of Tuesday the 24th instant, to Friday event Ig, the
27th instant, having within that interval occasioned tl le pros-
tration and subsidence of buildings of various dese' :iptions,
and the displacement of large tracts of soil, a loss of property
to a considerable extent, among the sufferers by, which is
Mrs. Inman, a respectable resident of Bishop's Hall, near
this town, whose loss is estimated at upwards of X 2, 000. Mr.
Hallett, of Axmouth, and Mrs. Dare, also suffered heavily by
the event. A huge rock, 50 feet high, appears in the sea off
Culverhole, nearly a a quarter of a mile from the, spot where
the principal scene of mischief presents itself. ; The sound-
ings were being taken around the newly long led rock on
Saturday. No lives were lost by this event, aith ough several
of the occupants of cottages, who had left home to spend their
Christmas-eve, found, to their astonishment, on their return,
no other vestiges of their dwellings but those presented by the
roofs and chimneys, discernible above the cha sins in which
their habitations were engulfed. The, new roarl from Char-
mouth to Lyme is utterly destroyed. "kVhether the occurrence
above stated be attributable to an earthquake, or considered
as the result of the slow-working processes of nature, which,
as foreseen by naturalists, and as serted by Mr. Bnckingham
in his lectures in the town of Lyrae, a few years ago, will gra-
dually encroach upon the shores of the channel, as has already
unquestionably taken place elsr;where on the British coast, is
at present problematical. Th e visitation, to whatever cause
it may be referred, besides Ow destruction of property, has
occasioned great 'alarm and anxiety among the owners of
buildings and estates in the vicinity. Multitudes of persons
from all parts have been, for several days past, rushing into
Lyme, Seaton, and Channouth, eager to ascertain the nature
and extent of the catastrophe. The total loss of property is
estimated at six thousand pounds. Mr. Chaple, the renter of
the estate called Dowlands, upon which four of the destroyed
cottages stood, succeeded by great exertions, on Wednesday,
in saving the lives of 28 of the poor occupiers, and having
employed nine carts, secured most of their furniture. On the
following morning, the cottages had sunk up to their roo'is.
The cliffson the coast do not appear to have suffered eny
ruption, all the mischief being inland.

MADEMOISELLE TAomol.a.—The painful reports in circu-
lation of late, respecting the bad state of health of Ma dlle.
Taglioni, have this week been contradicted. Letters from
St. Petersburgh announce that this celebrated dancer made
her appearance on the 4th December last, in a ballet in three
acts, called L Ombre, of which the first representatioz i was
for her own benefit. The success this piece obtained is due,
by all accounts, not only to the admirable talent displayed
by Madlle. Taglioni, but also to the magnificence of thi : sce-
nery and the beauty of the music. There is one scene !to the
second act which is highly spoken of. It represents a g Arden
of flowers, on which Madlle. Taglioni executes a figure. At
the back of the theatre there is a lake, on which 31; idlle.
Taglioni, who performs the character of a shade, dan .ces a
few minutes, and then vanishes. During the ballet M; Ole.
Taglioni was encored ten times by the audience ; and a n the
following day the emperor sent her a splendid muss ❑ent,
studded with diamonds and turquoises, as a testianani al of
the delight he had experienced.
RAILWAY CHAPEL.—Many of the readers of the Ilirorn-
ilia Herald may remember that in the early part .of tin t last
year the attention of the public was directed to the Sat bath
desecration committed by the men employed on the raih.vays.
A remonstrance, signed by all the clergy of Cheltenhani and
many of the inhabitants, was addressed to the, directors of
the Cheltenham and Great Western Union railway. These
gentlemen, with the• greatest promptitude, expressed their
strong disapprobation of any work being carried on during
the Lord's Day. The contractors as cordially and promptly
acquiesced in the instructions of the direcOrs, and it was im-
mediately discontinued—the necessary occupation of keeping
up the fires being alone persisted in. It Was, however, soon
remarked that the labourers being unoccupied on the Sabbath,
at a distance from their homes, and unprovided with such ap-
parel as they would naturally like to ainlear in at a place of
worship, were exposed to more temptation to intemperance
and irregularity, and it was suggested. by the Rev. Francis
Close that a temporary building, expressly for the use of the.
workmen, should be erected, wherein he himself would
statedly perform Divine service (nice every Sunday. A
subscription was immediately set on, font, and a large chapel
has been erected, in which there are now three Services every
Sunday. The workmen have expiessed-their -thankfulness
to the Rev. F. Close for his exertions.—MarniNg Herald.
