Tesunhy the royal party took their departure frees Esiqsr. amid the same demonstrations of affectionate loyalty by which they had been welcomed to the DISCI. Yesterday the Queen roitid the Britanois-bridge. The yoysl party arrived a: the Llantair station, about a mile monk of the Britannia-bridge, at five minutes after 10 **clock.

Yesterday, an invest was held by Mr. Lanham, at the St. James's It orkhouse, Peland-street, to inquire into the cause of the death of Henry Joseph Bradfield, who contained suicide on Monday, in the coffee .room of the St. Albans Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's. Tbe jars having been score, and having viewed the body, t owing witnesses were celled : Willie's Wadley, of Peckham, said—l have been in the army, and was • magistrate in the West Indies. I knew the deceased Henry Joseph Bradfield. I don't know where he has been living of late. He bad, some time ago, a lodging in the Waterloo-road. He had hem eds. aced as • medical man—he told me so, and was a surgeon with Lord Cochrane, in Greece. After that be cos in the Belgian service, in the Hussars, but I knew nothing of him till 183.1, when he went out with me to Trinidad ; we went in ~the same ship, and I have known him since. I left him at the tints Vie magistrates were dismissed at • moment's warning, in Trinidad. He was out a magistrate then, but he was a magistrate up to that time. I don't know on what ground he was dismissed. We were all dismissed by the governor, Sir Omega Hill, at a moment's notice. I did not wee or bear of him for some years afterwards. I understood be went to Babadoes afterwards as Colonial S. cretary. I saw him afterwards in Loudon. He was not pursuing any profession, bat I alidastood he wasted to be restored as • magistrate in the colonies. He then had an appointment in St. Dominica undir Governor Colonel APDonald. I saw nothing of him then till this time terries months. He called on me at my house. Ile was then doing nothing, and I I understood he had been very ill, and was t-ying to do the best be could. He was then iu distressed iireurnstances, and living om his meads His wits and child followed him to Trinidad. 1 uw him fre quently within the last twelve mouths. He generally came to me es • Sunday, more than once • month on the average. I sew him last as Monday morning last, about half-past one. Nothing particular took place on that occasion, bet he was very much depressed in consequence of the injustice dose to him by the Colonial-office, and he always laboseed under that impression. He dined and slept at my home on Sends ;, and appeared much depressed. His effects in the Waterloo-road were kept fur rent which he owed, as he told me himself. H. @tuitions to me to indicate that he was likely to commit smirch,. He was mainly supported hy a friend, and he went out far fur mouths to Belgium to see the King of the Belgians, who knew hiss well. Upon his return I saw him for • few Sundays, and 1 learnt afterwards that he had been to Osborne, eadeavouriog to see the Queen, who had some knowledge of him. (A packet of papers was here produced and erased. In the packet were several penes and other works of the deceased. One of toe books had on the cover, rTo her Majtaty Queen Victoria, " sad os another, " To H. H. the King of the Bel funs." ) The gesdemas who was in the habit of sedating him, Mr. Wis es/ahoy, put en end to his life es the Friday previous. (ierovid papers were here identified as in the handwriting of the deemeed.) I know that the deceased had published euseal weeks. I have seen the paper with the nano of Lod John Russell in his pomading. I de set know that be bed lived to Park-street, Grasuserequart. I have sew before seen the letter dated from Downiegureet pro- AWOL I did sot see the deceased after Moseley last.

This paper assedas • statement of his ease, draws up by another goesee. (The packet of papers was addressed to the mouse to Mr. Charles Dictum, and his gallant friends Oeleweill.Derid sad Captain Grindley.)

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER THE "LOOMLNOS" OF THE FUTURE. Mantas Daily Nan.) TO.DAT a Council is to be held at whisk it is enderstood the precise liras will he axed for Perlis mast to assemble for the trammed= of public busi ness. When that point is decided and notified to the world, we @hall then want to know the date of the next most important explanation—the revelation of the government policy. Major lleaseroan spoke mysteriously about something to be done with the Cottony; and, seriously enough, at the very time when a minister I. talking in this way at an Essex meeting, the egg's of the Tory party is explaining its views on finance. The Quarterly Review moots the question of the reduction of the rate of interest on the Three per Cent. Stock, and comes to the conclusion that " neither from the price of that! particular Stock, nor from the general state of the interest market at this time, dues it appear that a reduction even to the exteut of one quarter per cent. could be attempted on any considerable portion of our debt with a reasonable prospect of success." Thus the reviewer very unkindly blows away the mist about one of the looming" prospects of the CIIANCKLLOR of the EICUEQUER ; and the saving of 2,000,0001., which his friends have announced, turns out to be the mirage of men famishing . for financial reputation. No change, says the reviewer, can be carried out in that large portion ofourdebt, amounting to three-fourths of the whole, which would have the effeot of reducing its marketable value below 1001. of money for the 1001. stock ; or our financier might find himself in the awkward predicament of being called on to actually_ pa y . off the debt he only pro posed to convert. Nor is there at present the least prucipcct,—with Consols oscillating between 1001 and 100,—that the CUANCELLOIt of the Exalt:trues will have the least chance of realising his imagined success. _ . Gold has latterly gone ip small quantities to Ham burg. A general opinion prevails amongst well-in formed merchants that tile importation of raw mate rials and of corn will now increase, and that the precious metals will cease to come in more abund antly than they will flow out. The lest accounts from St. Petersburg bring an unfavourable course of exchange with that city, and the supplies of gold from that quarter are likely to cease. Abundant, too, as capital ts, enterprise urine fast overtaking it; and numerous new banks, and new railways, and new mining and spin ning companies, are brought forward on our Stock- Exchange; and numerous speculative undertakings abroad discountenance the expectation that capital will increase in relative abundance, and that tho rate of profit and of interest will speedily sink still further. The great increase in the quantity of cotton imported lot year from the United States to the con tinent of Europe,-37 per cent., while the increased imports to kngland were less than 18 per cent.,—the activity at present of the cotton and silk manufactures on the continent, where they are new okietly impeded by the silty I negetiatiaseof the German Princes about renewing the Zollverein, the somplaint of a scarcity of work men in Paris, all enure us that the demand for capital is incressiag, and for the present likely to mareses. Enterprise seems destined for some time to awe to obtain, in peace, its expected reward, and therefore will be extended, increasing the demand for capital. That very increase of gold which many believed must lower the rate of interest is likely to have a very different effect. What men want to b wrow at all times, and really borrow, are articles of subsistence and cloth ing, tools, instruments, and raw materials ; the gold or its representative credit being only borrowed as the means of obtaining a command over these use ful articles. The discoveries of gold, which are to add to its increase, are now promoting a great deal of enterprise . in various parts of the world. The networons emigrants goine out require a great many Mob and conveniences, and accordingly the Birming hma and other hardware manufacturers are u fully =as they can be. To carry them and their goods more ships are required, and ear ahnat roust ars fully employed at improved M *sight: We ace this more by the in creased smionst of tonnage in the navigation returns ban by the nuessed number of ships and seamen, showing that while our navigation is increasing we are employing larger and better ships sailed at a less cost. These emigrants not only require large outfits., bet must hereafter create a greater demand fee oar manufactures. In consequence of the inemantal trade now everywhere promoted by a great imersms of enterprise in any one part of the world, a greet stimulus is given to present and future production in England. All our manufacturers are well employed and likely to be well employed. The discoveries al gold then, and its increasing quantities, have by their own nature a stimulating effect on enterprise r —even a large additional demand for all the commodities man really borrow,—and tend therefore to increase the demand foe capital, and to keep up • fair rate of interest. Coming too at a time whoa all Europe is very intently engaged in getting wealth by honest means,and when improvements in our commercial laws have removed many impediments to enterprise, the stimulus they are giving, and will give, Meaty great, and will lead probably almost every where to a very large increase of business. We must not at the same time forget that at sent the hand of the labourer,—from the beaeflcial change which Free-trade and these discoveries sus bitted have made in the old relation between mote and labour,—is comparatively dear; and the rho of labour being a material element in the enrstatioas of profit, Its high price tends to dusk materiel& Whatever opinions may be entertained an M the conflict which has for many yenta both roadally and theoretically been going on in society baUrson capital and laboar,—whichlas giros rim is sash vehement and vituperative writing on loth dho w — *very parson most bo gratified at the improved value of labour, though its results should be to lamp profit and enterprise. We, however, do not believe it will lessen the ono or the other. It is very quietly sad very effectively raising the condition of the labouring olsosso—an end which the most phibinthrro oar species have laboured for many years to mom risk without much oneness . With their dwell= their skill has increased and is increasing, and their labour is becoming more reductive to thmolvas and to society, if not, as we believe—notwithstand ing the larger share they receive al the priminsa— more profitable to their employers. Wean net Wined to think, therefore, that the Increased rate of wars, —carrying with it a great improvement in the audi tion of the working population, and increasing the number of ontsrposing and speculative men,—will teed to give say cheek to esteems,. At any rats, it bee not yet bed say each eau, and will not, most certainly, for some time to aims. Tho larger share of tie prams which the lap bearer wt 4 resoivo as long as his services aro so much in demand, is snore likely to giro enterprise a new direction than lessen its amount. It will— when we get the law put on a proper footing—tend towards establishing companies oa the en commandite principle, and towards carrying on many under takings for the common advantage of all persons necessary to their success. Without diminishing, but more likely increasing, natural profit, or the excess in value of any production over the cost of producing, it will be an equitable distribution of profit amongst the producers, and leave less for the dunes not strictly necessary to production. If amongst them may be included the mere owners of capita, by in creasing the rewards of the actual producers, it will be mon likely to stimulate than to deaden exertion. Whatever may be the effect on the owners of money of such a large addition to the stock of their peculiar commodity, it will increase enterprise and not lower profit. The discoveries of gold, like inventions in the arts, and like improvements in agriculture, are to be classed with then circumstances which are described by Mt. RICARDO as arising every now and then to check the downward tendencies of ' profit, and they will have the reverse effect from lowering still further the rate of interest. They supply no ground, therefore, for settling the question of the CHANCELLOR'S almost promised reduction of the rate of interest on the national debt, except the floating debt. The deduction confirms the reviewer's remark, " that we must look to the crpassion of our trade, to the increasing commerce tf the-world, to the rapid growth of our colonies," in order to "reap the fruits of the latest gift of Providence." For a Jour nal that undertakes to champion the Protectionist r easse, the doctrines of the Quarterly are very strange, ' but to us, Free-traders,— particularly his recommends , tion to fix our hopes on the increasing commerce of theworld,—theyarepeculiarlysatisfactory. But surely at such a time 719 c1ia2i9X1.1.94 91 the 414,31FA1VE1l can venture to disturb the relations of debtor and creditor by meddling with our Currency Laws! Major BIIIIII7OID must sorely be WICSE. If he is not, his colleague, Mr. Duntam.t, soon will be. THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON CONFESSION. ile. Peter's, Plymouth, Oet. 8, 1862.

Ouch a freedom Idu believe to be most in ICOOthilell with her spirit." In this passag my lord, I intended to say that the church of E ng l an d does not pro hibit. eir authoritatively exclude the general habit of conks. sisa. I espremly guarded myself by saying that I did not atom tin anulet that the church of England recommends caehmisa airway, but was silent about it, end left it to the imemeleasse of individuals. And such has been my promise. 1 Mrs not taught it as • duty. I have not brought or trained persons to look on it as • " regu lar observance, or • part of the ordinary discipline of a Christian lite ;" but, on the other band, I am not aware of any statement of the church of England which would justify me as one of her ministers in refusing to receive per sons who desire of their own accord, or, I may add, by the advice of their parents or guardians, to come to me regu- lsrly for Ws purpose. I repeat, my lord, f have not en forced or taught this poems es • part of my ordinary teichiug, but I have also not felt myself at liberty to rejoin there who did think they found it useful as au habitual practice, and desired on that account to use it as such. I venture reepectfully to put this case to your lordship (which, I may add, is nut an imaginary one) :-Bupposiag a person to come to me, at his own particular request, se vere: times in the course of the year for confession, have I any authority from the church of England to refuse to re. I cents that person ? I will lurther suppose that I fully press upon the person the necessity of private sel6examanation and repentance, but that he still urges that he ands confes sion a great help sad means of grace, and presses on me my obligation to receive him, is it your lordship's opinion that I should be authorised by the church of Eugland (whatever my own private opinions minht be) to rejectsuch person / submitting this case for your lordship's considera tion, I would humbly venture to remind your lordship that there are many persons in tee church of England who deeply value private contention as • means of race, and who use it regularly as such, and that it would be a great shock to their minds to be deprived of it. For my own pert I would not dare to do so, uuless I had noise must in disputable authority to bear me out in so doing. I would also venture to suggest that the cooecienees at those who use private confession, and are in the constant habit of that self-examination which it involves, become more alive to the guilt of tin, and that even i f they do not relapse at times into their old sins, they yet look on other minor sins as of a serious nature. There are, my lord, penmen who, from • constant habit of self-examination and salf-sccusa- Cum, find that eery frequently their wasseiesce Is burdened with weighty matters, which bring then radar the class welled in the exhortation to comae nion. Does the church of ltegred regain, of her ministers to refuse to this class of pewees (sad it meters may of her most earnest and *demi AM** what they esteem as so great • mesas of pass to their soar ? 1 With ransom to year lordship's remarks is my Trea ties from year lordships pastoral letter of last year, I would humbly bet Is *toffee, that had I been quoting your lordship's sentiments as bearing on the subject of pri. vete COultilkle rellgelli, 1 should certainly have thought it my duty folly to have expressed those sentiments, but I was only quoting to support of my argument of the entire liberty which the church of England gives her children, to use this means of grace whenever their spiritual necessities required it.

Sia,—A member of • freehold lead society at Southampton claimed to have his name pet cm the register to vote. Evidence was given to show that the piece of land on which the claim to vote was made was bought and paid for before the 31st of January last. One of the most emi nent land surveyors in Southampton swore that the land was honestly worth 31. 3e. a year, and that he himself would give that sum for it if it was for sale. It was proved also that the land was leased for a thousand years from May lost, at a rental of 41. per annum. The Revising Banister decided against the claim, because, although the land has been worth 41. a year since May, there was no proof, ho thought that it was worth suck a aum previous to that period. The evidence of the laud surveyor went fur nothing. Surely we an entitled to have persons of competent ability to undertake the duties of Revising Barristers. Southampton, Oct. 12. T. C.

Mr. Horn presided, end, having addressed the sharehold ers called upon the secretary to reed the report, which, after detailing the parliamentary proceedings on the London (Wat , ford) Spring Water Company's bill of last maim, stated that the deposit paid on the 12,387 shares subscribed for would be returned minus lls. 6d. per share for expenses. It proceeded to say :—" The expenses would have bees moth greater, if various scientific and other persons had not tendered a large amount of voluntary support. It is anti cipated that the expeuditure of labour and mosey already incurred, will have the effect hereafter of materially facilt. teeing the progress of the bill through parliament. Under the misting law, it is impossible to carry the company for ward without commodes the preliminary parliamentary proceedings de Nero ; but the shareholders can do this if they see fit, and renew their application fir en Act in the ensuing session. Your director., in conclusion, hive to state, that their opinion is unchanged as to tho advantsges likely to result from the establishment of this company, and the carrying out of the undertaking, which they believe would materially conduce to the comfort, and to maintain the health of the inhabitants of London." The financial account, which was also read, showed receipts 17,0321. 2s. ed.—being the deposit of 275. 6d. per share of :12,387 abates; expellees, 7,1221. 10.. ; leaving a balance in hand of 9.9691. 125., equal to 16s. per share. The report was adopted unanimously, as was • vote of thanks to the chairman and his co-directors for their exertions._ Resolutions were subsequently passed dissolving the com pany, and constituting it anew uuder the same manage ment ; it being however explained by the chairman, in answer to a question hum a proprietor, that any shareholder who might be averse to joining in the new company would have his IGs. per share returned. Sir It. Pules, who acted as chairman of the new coin , pony (Mr. Hope having intimated that not being now in parliament, end intending to travel on the continent, he should not be able to take so prominent a part in the bui -1 nese as he had dune, but was prepared as a shareholder or o director to promote the interests of the company in every way he could). stated that be had been induced by the prospect of public good to take part in the direction of the company, which had been just dissolved, but had found more labour was required, and that greater risk and more difficulties had to be met than be had anticipated—but he believed they had been beaten, not because of the weakness of their cause, but by a combination of circumstances which 1 1 bad placed insurmountable obstacles in their way. He was quits willing to take part in the company just constituted, and to try his best to carry out its objects. Ile had very little doubt that they would succeed in carrying their bill, and in that case they would be in a position to take credit to themselves as being the first company which gave the public an ample supply of that great necessary of life — water from the purest source. (Cheers.) Mr. Hunneuaw, the enrineer, spoke of the ample quantity, and on the authority of Drs. ltedforth and Lan• kaster of the superior purity of the water obtained from the chalk formations of Hertfordshire and its neighbourhood, u to he supplied from the Watford springs, and expressed his opinion that the new comrany, when its works were in operation, would pay its shareholders 10 per cent., charging one-third the rates charged by the West Middlesex Company. After a vote of thanks to the new chairman, the meeting separated. NAVAL ADIIIRALTT. OCT. 14.-1 tenant Sir H. Blackwood, to Leander; Midshipman W. Bunnell, to Linnet; Master's Assistant S.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH TO DOVER. APPREHENDED RIOT. CANTERBURY, Ocr. 13. The prosecution of the works in laying down the electric telegraph along the old coach road 'tom London, which is to be worked from Dover in connexion with the submarine telegraph, was nigh being attended with a serious tumult in the course of yesterday. The South Eastern Railway acmes the road leading to this city oa a level, and leave having been obtained of the road authori ties, the work being authorised by act of parliament, the labourers were *bout to dig • small trench some 12 inches deep under the permanent way of the line at the crossing, due regard being paid to the safe passage of the trains, for the purpose of depositing the pipe containing the wires, when the muter of the station inter fered, and commanded tne stoppage of the operations until such time as the company could be communicated with and act in the matter. it wan urged that the company Lad already been apprised of the extent of the works, and that no obstacle was offered to laying &two the wires tinder their railway, the North Kent line, at Gravesend, some few weeks previous. The great 100 to the contractor, of the work' being delayed, and a large number of labourers remaining unemployed, was also urged as a reason, coupled with the fact tint he was under • bond to complete the line of telegraph to Dover by • certain time, for permitting the operation to go on. The station muter, however, would net give way, and matters were assuming a serious aspect. The contractor was de termined to test the fact whether the railway company or the commissioners of the road had the most proper juris diction over the highway, and intimated that he should proceed with the works. He did so, end was at once handed over to the custody of the railway policenst •. Hap pily the apprehended disturbance bad reached the cars of the city authorities, and by their prompt attendance perhaps a serious rencontro was avoided. All the parties then repaired to the Guildhall, where the charge against the contractor was beard, but the complaint was dismissed. The contractor offered to let the railway people pass the wires under the line if they chose, but there was no iuclinatiun to accept the task. The bench advised the station master to allow the works to proceed ; they were prepared to preserve the peace of the city, even to calling out the military, if such en extreme step was necessary. Sulneiluentiv, the ravioli master gave way, sod the wires. in lees than half an hour, were deposited under the permanent way, and the line of communication to London secured. The whole work to Dover will be executed in the course of a week or so. when that important point will have the advantage of two lines of electric telegraph to the metropolis. The toad one consists of six wires. The present telegraph is on the South Eastern line, and is the property of, and is worked by that company. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday a meeting of magistrate; of Middlesex took place at the Court Mouse, Clerkena ell, for the dis patch of the business of the county. There were about forty members of the bench present. Mr. PowsaLt. in the chair. THE LATE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. In the course of the afternoon, the court, in accordance with a notice to that effect in the paper, proceeded to con sider what step. should he taken in reference to the la mented decease of the late Duke of Wellington. Mr. TURNIII, addressing the chairman, s dd, es the notice on this subject hal originated with him (Mr. Pownall) he should have been glad bad he himself undertaken to bring it under the consideration of the court, but as he had thought it better that he (Mr. Turner) should do so, he had to submit the follswing resolution :—•• That for the purpose) of testifying the respect of this court for the me mory of the late lamented Doke of Wellington, a committee 'be appointed to consider what steps should be taken to procure for the magistrates of this county a place ia.the funeral ceremonial of that illustrious hero, with power to take such proceedings as they may think lit to carry out that object." To say, continued the learned magistrate, that the members of that bench were moat desirous of tes tifying their respect for the memory of the great and il lustrious man, whose loss the whole country deplored, was but saying is other terms that they were Englishmen. (Applause.) As Englishmen, they partook of the national pride of doing honour to the great warrior, and deeply participated in the national mourning occasioned by the heavy loos the country had sustained. As to the court marking its regard fur the great man who had departed this life in the manner pointed out in the resolution, the question, whether they were to take part in the funeral ceremonial, would have to be decided ilsewhere by others, but afortiori if the circumstance of the interment of the departed hero in the Cathedral of Sc. Paul's gavo the City magistrates the right to be present, and assist at the grand ceremony, the residence of his grace m the county of Middlesex, and moreover, the fact of his being in the commission of the peace for that county, constituted sufficient reason fir the magistracy to receive the privilege, which had almost as a matter of right been accorded to the magistrates of the City of London, and it was to take the necessary steps to attain this end that he asked the court to adopt the resolution he had moved. Lord R. Gitosvanuie said the court would readily con ceive that in seconding the resolution, he did so with very great sinoerity, and with the warmest desire to co-operate with the members of the bench in taking measures to attain the object of the motion before them. Being closely con nected by marriage with the illustrious hero, whose loss had plunged the country into grief, he need scarcely sayhe was very anxious that they should mark their respect for his memory so as to express the deep setae they entertained of the immortal services he bad rendered to this country. (Applause.) The motion was carried unanimously, and a committee specially appointed to carry it out. Some other business was disposed of, and the court adjourned. A NOVEL KIND OP Poer.—Mr. Aloseript, of the Kelso police, on Friday last received a letter from his bro ther James, who sailed from Glasgow for Australia on the 18th Aug ust, the mode of transmission of which, consider ing the s ho rt period of its travels, is very remarkable. It appears that when crossing the Bay of Biscay, the writer observed that the current ran very strongly towards Ire land, which suggested to him the probability of a letter en closed in a bottle being carried towards that coast, where it might be picked up, and forwarded by post to its destina tion. Ile accordingly wrote to his brother in Kelso, on the 28th of August, put the letter into a sealed bottle, and threw it overboard, in the hope, as he expressed himself, that it would ultimately reach Kelso; and, however extra ordinary it may appear, it was delivered through the post- Aloe here on the evening of the let of October, thirty-flve days after it was written, enclosed from one " Mr. George Cook, chief boatman, Coast Guard Station, Keill, Dutton, Island of Achill, Mayo, Ireland," where, Mr. Cook says, it was picked up in a bottle on Sunday, the 25th September, by a little boy—having reached Ireland in safety in the short period of thirty days, after having tumbled about in the troubled waters of the Bay of Biscay, and escaped the numberless rocks and breakers on the rugged shores of the sister isle.—Kelm Chronicle. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN TUSCANT.—A public meeting was held on Tuesday, in the Musimhall,Edinburgh, called by a requisition addressed to the Lord Provost, " for the purpose of considering the case of the Madiais, now suffer ing imprisonment in Tuscany, and adopting such measures as may seem best to secure their relief." The attendance was numerous—the hall being nearly filled. The Lord Provost took the char. A memorial and petition to Mr Majesty's government, and to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, was then adopted; and the Lord Provest was authorised to sign it in the name of the meeting. The meeting then separated. A meeting for • similar purpose took place at Glasgow on the same day. REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—A circumstance oc curred here on last Sunday, which deserves publication. Two hones:the property of Robert Morris, Esq., of the Low Yields, had been left the previous night to pasture in • field contiguous to the line of railway from Chester to Birkenhead. By some means both the horses got out of the field and strayed on the line. About half-past five o'clock, a.m., when the luggage train arrived near to Hooton, one of the horses jumped clear from the line into a field below ; the other (en excellent horse) ran on be fore the train all the way to Birkenhead. It must have travelled at an incredibly rapid speed. In consequence of the dense fog which enveloped the horse and engine at the time, the driver of the engine did not perceive the hone for some time, though he fancied he heard some peculiar noise before hint. As soon as he perceived the minent peril the horse was in, he slackened the speed at which the engine was going, thus giving the hone • chance for its lite, and, by a providential thought, saving, perhaps, the whole train from destruction. The horse, on arriving at Birkenhead, was laid hold of by a police man, and taken to the stable of an inn, and on examina tion was found to have sustained no injury beyond a few braises about his feet. Our correspondent adds that, so ar as he has been able to learn, no person is to blame; wiles., indeed, it be a pointsman usually stationed near Limekiln-lane, who, had he been at his post of duty, could have signalled the train to stop, and thus have saved the further abuse of the horse.—tliester Chronicle. EASTERN UNION RAILWAT.—The directors of this company have published a circular letter, in reply to a re quisition calling upon them to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholder, to consider the pro priety of soliciting the Eastern Counties Company to enter into fresh traffic arrangements, and to appoint another com mittee to assist the directors in nuking such arrangements. They say, after the experience the directors have had of the recent traffic arrangements with the Eastern Counties Company, end of the systematic evasion of every condition beneficial to this company, they are convinced that no traffic arrangements will be carried out fairly for the interests of the Eastern Union Company. From the fact that the receipts have not fallen since the termination of the agreement, the di rectors consider it would be highly imprudent to solicit a renewed traffic arrangement, and prefer to wait the result of the arbitration now pending; by means of which they expect Ye obtain far better traffic arrangements than the Eastern Counties have ever shown any disposition to con cede. These arrangements will possess this great advan tage, that they cannot be evaded with impunity. To call the meeting would materially impede this arbitration. The directors are prepared to negotiate with any company upon fair terms, securing such a tined annual sum as will enable them to meet their debenture interest, rents., and prefer ence charges; and to secure a fair dividend to shareholders.
