AUSTRIA. A correspondent of the Columns G4Zeige writes : VIENNA. Nov. 7. ' , No deputation will represent the Austrian army at the fooer.il of the ltuke of Wellington.

The failure of the Medial deputation communicated is my last,was to have been anticipated both from the influence of the Jesuits at court, and the mistaken course adopted ray Lord Roden and his colleagues. Os their arrival the English and protestant ministers both hastened to Floccuce, with a view to render any assistance that might be required of them, but found their services declined. The deputatiah, without any official introduction, applied direct ly fur an audience of the !hike; thinking thereby to keep themselves clear of any political complication; but they might have foreseen, that, ; without diplomatic support, they would only be treated as the reprementativra of that very even- geileal propaganda which it is the object of the T 4 ,4,411 government to put down. The audience , le , rehired, and the second memorial of the deputation unceremoniously returned. Lord Barden , obtained prem./non, but with great difficulty, to see Rea Nladiai, who is in • prison at Lucca, surrounded by the lowest and most degraded clam of her own ors, and subject to the prison regulations of diet, , which to a person accustomed, u she has been, to , the hymn; of English families, must not be a little , yskive. In the way of indulgence, she has been wed as a substitute for coffee (a luxury formally , wellibited) a compound of water and grated bread, , lasoured with oil. She dines on salt fish and vege tables, soh the additioi of broth on Sundays. Meat b but seldom idioms'. A hint has been given that, as it is customary to publish au act of grace for venial offences on the birth of a prince ;or prince., the Madiai may pos sibly Is liberated after the accouchement of the Grand 'Nebel's, now approaching; but any hope founded upon tl.is will probably prove delusive, for in the eyes of the clerical party the criminality of the Hiseiri has been aggravated by the sympathy their ease has excited. As persecution fur religion always defeats its own end, plotestantism is here rapidly increnaing, and the Jesuits arc every day more and more alarmed and ezeperated at the growing spirit of revolt. Their first attempt to check it was the arrest of an Italian printer, fur printing copies of the New Tes tament, 011 arrest which gave rapid circulation to • large edition—the police agents themselves realizing handsome profits by the surreptitious sale of the copies seized. The next step was to send Captain Pakenhatu out of the country, as the foreign enemy supposed tube engaged in sowing the tares. Chia ILS followed by • police edict prohibiting Italians num attending the services of the Swiss protestant church. The edict being neglected two Welch listen ministers, with Count Guieciardini and several of his friends,:were expelled the state, the count only escaping imprisonment in a fortress situated in the pestilential marshes of the Maremma through the prompt and energetic interference of Mr. 'hid. A multitude of minor arrests succeeded, and among them that of the Madiai, who were kept in separate prisons for nine months without trial until a charge could be concocted against them. Suborned witnesses were then brought forward to prove that Francesco Medial and his wife had read lessons out of the gospel of Bishop Calvin, and had taught that there were but eight commandments instead of ten. Francewo Madiai is at Volterra, where his health has been so much impaired that he is now in the infirmary of the prison. A little book has been pablisheti for 2s. &Ladled "The prisoners of Hope," giving an account of the trial, the profits of which arc to be devoted to the re-establishment in life of Mediai and his wife should their release he obtained. It is to he hoped, for the sake of the sufferers, that the work will meet with some encouragement from the public. Ile remain in expectation of further and more rigorous measures to put a stop to the protestant movement ; the government is aware that the pre sence of the deputation has inspired the protestants here with renewed confidence in the ultimate triumph of their principles, and that an address expressive of this sentiment, emanating from a very numerous body, and thanking their Christian friends of dif ferent states for their exertions in favour of the Medial was placed in the hands of Lord linden before his departure. A report of the attempted assassination of M. Baldasseroni has already reached you, but you may not perhaps have learnt that M. Haldeman°oi makes to secret of his conviction that the blow came from the Jesuits. At the present moment they are en deavouring to make it a foundation for a wide-spread charge of conspiracy, for which only a colourable pretext ass before wanting. A letter from Florence, in the Opistione of Turin, of the Nth, states that • new Taman lean, of 70 mil lions of franca, is spoken of, a great part of which is to be applied to the aggrandisement of the port of Leghorn. ROME, Nov. 4. After the late awful butchery at Ancona, a second scene of the same kind was to have taken place, but the artillerymen, disgusted at the part they had been forced to play in it, protested 11, a man against un dertaking th e o ffi ce of ezeondowon again ; so that Monsignor tmici has Wm Slily& to write to Rome and wait for instruction. bake antber set of cul prits an be seat to this last amount. Vincenzo Rocehi, alias the Moor, after tainving his inn of bullets, spun round three dime, megiming to s di's tine, but soon recovered Ys balm* mit Ingehed back rcrolutely to his brow series, where 1m was dually dcrpatebed.

Others called oat " Eraser a fratelli Ilandiera " In Petrie &e. bird Shrewsbury's servants were stopped by the briKratols last week, near (latent°, whilst on their rowl to Naples, and a maid servant of the party has been extremely ill at that city ever since, from the fright. His lordship escaped being ransomed by going down by sea. We have, however, some hopes of gt DOI rid of these troublesome marauders by the loyertuitt revelations and extensive awaits which bore led% taktn place. The band which infested the noidn . rn road and the satirises of Viterbo, has beet broken up by the murder of one of the accom plices, by his father and brother, in • dispute waving from the division of some booty. The de cea,.,ll as in love with a young peasant gill who carne unexpectedly upon the father and broth. r as they were about to bury the corpse. The murderers fled panic struck, and the girl went at once to the town of Itonciglione, and denounced atm to the yendarmes, who soon arrested them, and from their revelations several other suspected indi viduals of Itoneiglione, Vetmlla, and Viterbo. Thaw' who adopted the road to Civita Vecchia for the lb. ;arc of thew exploits have been arrested, in great part through the denouncements of one of their , -oomplices, who was accidentally stopped on the and by the gendarmes, and found to have a stiletto concealed about his person. One of these s!oethies was discovered concealed in a ditch, oppo site Mr. Freeborn's villa, where he, no doubt, pro posed pitying a nocturnal visit, if tho bull-dogs on gusrd wouid allow him. The disastfoos result of the protestant mission in hslf of the Madiais is occupying universal atten tem in that city as well as here, and the preeipita bee of the English part of the deputation is generally condemned as having contributed to the failure of the whole. The bigotry and obstinacy of the Grand Duke need no additional spur, bet even were he in clined to give way the suggestions of the Propaganda, and the influence of Austria would always more than counterbalance the tolerant veMonstranime of pro. testiest essesiations and the betre d the /Lieig et Prelim I shall revert eosin to this stair, and maths the impression it has passed at Rose se soon es it lee hese brought to a ccesission. The roma eft Pilatimehridr, which so often, ender the dsesmiedsa et Peale Rotto, tempts the pencil d the artist in Ike" is about to exchange picturesquarei for utility, by a suspension-bridge being thrown over that portion which was carried ' sway by an inundation of the Tiber in Michael Awrio's time, according to that great man's pre diction. M. Bandies, the French engineer, is now in lull possession of the premises, after having been kept waiting for several months by the obstinacy of • man whu had established himself on the entire part of the bridge for a rent of twu dollars a-year to the government, and ri slated all legal ejectment. NAPLES, Nov. 4. Whilst there is a French army in Rome, Italy will be agitieed. Louis Napoleon's return to Paris, with its attendant events, brought his Sicilian hlajesty back from Sicily precipitately ; so much so, indeed, that Ferdinand 11. did not visit his loving subjects at Palermo, a city which is mid to be more devoted to the royal rule than the half-burnt and half bombards d towns of Catania and Messina, cities that have made their sovereign an altar of love, if the official reports be correct. In Naples it is believed that Louis Napoleon has called upon the Pupe to place the crown upon his head. The Pope is in a strait, and would gladly hold • rim roes confab with his Sicilian Majesty : but the agents of the Protector of Holy Places ' are equally jealous of holy persons, and the Pope, I am assured, will not be allowed to visit his old nest at Gaeta. The King is, therefore, expected to enter the Roman States, it matters can be satisfactorily arranged. The government here, front all I can learn, is by no means confident about Louis Napoleon's peace pro testation.. The liberation of so many political pri soners, and the relaxation of the police severities, are supposed to emanate from the position of French affairs. The portfolio of the late Minister' of Police, Pecchenedn, is still vacant, and • new combination of the ministry is expected. Two English engineers have arrived in Naples, and are now employed in tracing the proposed line of railway between the capital and Brindisi. It appears the reports I have forwarded to you on this subject have given great offence in certain quarters, and that the Da4 tetra is charged with seeking to check a useful and profitable operation of commerce. If the company interested look carefully and dispas sionately at the hints thrown out, they will perhaps I find in what has been said matter for consideration, interesting both to themselves and the public. If I mistake not the gentlemen now employed in tracing the line will report the impossibility . of exe cuting the work at the mileage price which the Nea po litan government propose to gua rantee. They will find, too, that very Neapolitan capital will be forthcoming, and that a great portion of the nearly 300 miles must be completed with English money. The existing lines of Castellammtre and Caserta are no temptations for Neapolitans to invest in railways. Look at the his tory of continental railways generally : a prospectus appears, the towns and number of inhabitants are set forth all very promising, and in addition • govern ment guarantees the shareholders a per center. Front such data the English public invest their money—they calculate from English experience in railways—from English enterprise, and English faci lities of making a railway useful. But suppose the land through which a foreign railway cuts its lines mast pay 20 per cent. to the state when it grows produce, will the railway bring such land into general cultivation ? Suppose the ports touched by a railway have a custom-house which imposesduties on foreign goods so high that the mass of the people cannot think of bringing them—surely the utility of a railway under such circumstances is greatly circumscribed. Suppose the people are an anti - locomotive people, and have to be taught to travel. If such be the case, I repeat, continental railway statistics are no data for English speculation. These are the difficulties which I point out, not to impede the com pletion of a railway which will unite the Levant, Egypt, Malta, and form the great Mediterranean line, but to guard against impracticable engage ments, for which the public pay. If the English company weigh honestly all the difficulties of the un dertaking, and obtain a just guarantee, with a prolon gation of time to complete the works, they will come into the market with • ;itemising speculation. As the matter now stands, with the existing articles of concession, it is simply a speculation of engineers,: iron-merc hants, and all that family of the rail which the British public his already pod enough to sup port both at home and abroad. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 13, 1862. LYING IN STATE AND FUNERAL OF TMK DUKE OF WELLINGTON. THE LYING IN STATE AT CHELSEA. Yesterday being the day act apart for the admission of the foteign ambassadors and ministers, the nobility, members of parliament, and ofileen of the army and navy, to view the lying in state, carriages began to arrive at the covered matinee at Chelsea Hospital u early as 9 o'clock, and between 10 and 11 formed a continuous line along the Queen's.roed and Grosvenor-row, Sloane-street, and Asy lum-row. Amongst the early arrivals were the principal members of the government, foreign ambassadors,and mem bers of both Roams of Parliament, who, on alighting, passed through the vestibule into the chamber where lay the body of the departed ttu, surrounded by the mournful paraphernalia on °sessions of lying in state. The several gaieties having passed through the room, departed at the exit dour is Queen'eroait. A very large body of police were in attendance throughout the entire line of route, who, owing to the excellence of the arrangements, sue ceeded in preventing any confusion or accident. The arrivals and departures were increasing end continuous during the entire morning, bat, owing to the extreme in clemency of the weather, comparatively few pedestrians presented themselves, nor was there a very large attendance of the public to witness the arrival and departure of the privileged visitors. _ The room is which the dead hero lies in state is the hall of the hospital, no doubt well known to many of our readers, but so changed by the funeral garb with which it has been invested, that none would recognise it. Enter ing through n long vestibule hung with black, and lighted by what we may call • plumed chandelier, in front of • trophy formed of thirty tattered and faded banners, surmounted by the Royal Standard, the visitor pulsing on through thick and heavily draped curteins, finds himself suil,!enly in presence of the illustrious dead. At the end of a long hall, hang in • tent.like fashion with sable draperies, wove which are carried silver cords, so as to relieve the otherwise monotonous effect of an un broken service of black, he sees a raised dale, on which rest the bier and coffin. the dais is covered in the centre with • cloth of gold carpet, the bier (four feet high and mine feet long), being formed of black velvet, and surmoueted by the coffin, richly decorated with gilding an.l crimson velvet. On the end of the bier is suspended an overwhelming display of stars and orders— among which the inelgnia of the Garter occupy the proudest position. The whole bier is surrounded by a magnificent silver balustrade adorned with heraldic devices, from which project pedestals, which bear, upon black' velvet cushioes, the Marshal's batons and orders 'of Great Britain, Hanover, Austria, the Netherlands, Portugal, Prussia, Kneels, and Spain, and the Duke's standard and guidon, and attached to all are lion sup porters in gold, more than two feet high, bearing the shields and banners of the nations enumerated. The hall is lighted by four rows et colossal silver cande labra, distributed in double file, at regular intervals, on either side, and extending to the foot of the dais They are 24 in number, stand seven feet high, and have wax candles in them seven feet long and three inches thick. The rows of candelabra next tho side walls being mounted on pedestals, burn at an elevation of 17 or 18 feet from the ground, and the light is thus shed more evenly, than would otherwise be the case, over the sombre decorations of the interior. A low platform runs along the side walls of the ball, and upon this picked soldiers of the Greaadier Guards 'Lind like statues, resting on their arms reversed. Arouud the catafalque the Yeo men of the Guard are stationed, and nine mourner., one half military, tho other from the Lonl Chamberlain's department, are seated. The chair of the chief mourner is placed at the head of the coffin, and is concealed from view. SPAIN. We have received the Madrid journals of the 7th. The Gazette announces that the floating debt of Spain amounted, on the lst inst., to 336,20,323 reals, and that treasury bonds in October were negotiated at from 6 to 8 per cent. discount. TURKEY. The Salton has just granted an amnesty to the 1,400 families of insurrectionary Bosnian' who fled some mouths since into Austria. . HORRIBLE DEATH.—A MAN CUT IN TWO.— GLOVCESTIII, TituttanaT.—A dreadful occurrence has happened at one of the steam saw mills in this city, which has led to an inquiry to-day before Mr. Lovegrove, the die triet coroner, into the cause of death of Francis Ayers, a sawyer. It appeared from tlo• statements of the witnesses that the deceased was employed on Wednesday at Mr. Eassies saw mills, when he met with his death in the fol lowing shocking manner :—The mills In question, which are situate on the bank of the Dimmest*, end Berkeley Ship Canal, are erected for the conversion of Baltic timber (which is shipped in large quantities into the port of Gloucester) into railway sleepers, and very powerful steam machinery is erected for this purpose to set in motion I numerous similar saws. The timber cut by three saws is I placed upon a species of railway moved generally by machinery apart the saws, which an fixed in the floor, and revolve with immense rapidity' and power, cutting ; throe& • balk of timber at the 1 rate of 12 f eet per minute. Me unfortunate deseased was ' employed in feeding the mills, sad wee carrying • balk of timber, wham be stumbled sad fell epee one of the re vnlying saws, which in a moment tore through his chest, pierced his vitals, and cut him to the back bone, amen uividing him in two. It appeared that on Wednesday the timber had been allowed to accumulate in the mill after it had been cut, and it is thought that this led to the accident. I The coroner and jury viewed the premises, and hiving re turned a verdict of "Accidental death," recommended that in future no accumulation of timber be permitted in the mill, which moommendation the proprietor said should re-' ceive curry attention. THE REPRESENTATION OP PLYMOUTH.—The Ply- PPIOWA J0W7441 of Thursday says :—" W. are authorised to state that • petition has been prepared, sad will shortly be presented to the House of Commons, against the return of Charles Juhn Mere, Esq., as ono of the members for this borough. If the honourable member by himself or friends his resorted to corrupt practices, which never before pro veiled in this borough, the inhabitants must be gratified at the probable prevention of its occurrence, by the course that will now be takes. There can be no question that at the late election there were the most wholesale induce ments held out to every one who would give a vote to the U. rhy-Gisraelite. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has been re tain,l by Messrs. Lockyer end Rulthel, on behalf of the petitioners, and they are confidently advised that the result I will be suceemfal. the Morning /Jerold of Monday treats the tastier in a very cif-handed and cavalier manner, but it will not surprise us, alter what we know, to find that I some genii, men connected even with that establishment, ' were mined up with those transactions that will become the subject of inquiry."

At that time there were above 600 collected, end at nine o'clock (the hour of admission) the line ex tended nearly half a mile in length, and it was computed that above 6,000 persons bad assembled. These consisted of individuals of all classes, end nearly the whole of them were dressed in mourning. The men wore black costs and het-bands, end the majority of the women also exhibited mournful respect for the eminent deceased. A lane num ber of country faces were discernible usersg the vest messes. There was also • line of vehicles of ell descrip tions from the Queen's-road, facing the College, extending j to a distance of about it mile. Several who had come thus early, I and who expected that they would have to wait two or three hours before they reached the interior, left to return home. j In consequence of the opening, several fresh omnibuses:eller. started on the line, while the old established onsaibumer have Increased their fares from threepence to expense.

Yesterday, one of the highest tides that has taken place for many yeses above-bridge occurr e d a t h a lt peat 1 o'clock, overflowing the whole of the numerous and sathensive wharves along the banks of the Thames, from Sonthwark-bridge to Pimlieo, the increase of the tide being inakdy assisted by the immense quantity of rain that bad and the strong E.S.E. wind prevalent. From the to Westminster, every wharf; street, area, and collar sou overflowing, the water gradually rising at 2 o'clock, the tide having half an hour to flow at that time. At Ilungerford Wharf every moveable article was floating about; in meny instances, carts and other vehicles were with difficulty secured. The Adclphi Wharf, occupied by Mr. Heileman, was entirely immersed, and all business sus pended. In Northumberland, Buckingham, and surrounding streets, the lower portions of the houses were inundated ; in Scotland-yard the waters bad completely covered the front roadway opposite the police station, rendering it ne oessery to erect a temporary bridge to allow persons te enter. As usual, however, the greatest damage was sustained on the Surrey side of the river. The open piece of ground at the side of the South Western Railway was actually covered with water, in some places three or four feet deep College-street, Vine-street, and the Ildvidere.erescent were under water four or five feet. The only way of escape fur the occupants was by getting out of the upper windows and dropping into waggons or boats which were taken to their rescue. The whole of the houses along the Waterloo-road, as far from the bridge as the Victoria Theatre, had their lower floors several feet under water. The neighbourhoods of Stangate, the Bishop's-walk, and the gardeus of the Archbishop of Canterbury, wore also covered with water, which was in some places five or six feet deep. The moment the tide had gained the top of the wall in the Bishop's-walk it rushed with the greatest im petuosity over the thoroughfare, and quickly rose nearly tour feet in height. Tho boats near the steam-boat pier were torn from their moorings, and one of them was forced by the rush of water i n t o t h e b ur i a l -ground of Lam beth Old Church. Fore-street, Iligh-strect, William-street, Lambeth Butts, were several feet under water, and the thoroughfares ren dered perfectly impassable. The Lammas lands as far as Putney were all under water. The towing-path on the Surrey side of the Thames was covered with water to the depth of six feet. At Bermond sey and Rotherhithe, and all along the river-side as fir as Bonkside was covered some feet deep, and it required the most prompt exertions to prevent the tide from rushing into the furnaces of the various gar-works, iron -founders, and breweries near the Surrey shone. WATERLOO INSURANCE COMPANY. — MEETING OF PROPRIETORS. The tint annual general meeting of the proprietors of 'reek in the Waterloo Life, Eduestion, Cuuslty, and S e lf Relief,; ssurance Company, wee held on Thursday, at the offices of th, ' society, men of the compel, or busbies*. Rev. EDWARD JOHNSTOWS, the chair- Mr. Walden', lu.l's No 356. Strand, for the despatch v. prtaidrd on the occasion.read the following reports "The directors of the Urate ' rl " Lire " %wale. °411111 " 871 with peculiar feelings of s - atisfaction appear before the pee. ;ahem, upon this their fle't meeting, (Or the P ur i m ' s .ir laying before them a statemen t o f the progress anti ; 7 ""v"`' ..a of the company, showing an mount of success which nal far exceeded the most sanguine ext. •etatione of its xealase projectors and advocates, and confirm'ag 14 the fullest di-- gree the correctness ..f the %lees which ILd to its formation, and the solidity of the plan on which it wee established. The date of the complete registration of the company, was 24th November, 1851; between that period and the 10th of Mank 1852, scarcely four months, the whole number of shares being 00,000, and representing a capital of 400,0004, was lehusfflad for by an ex . entire and highly influential ==l sad the numerous applications which have re. made for shares, prove net only a growing and pre~eet►fldence in the intimation, but that the stork of ssay is daily rising in public estimation. From the data of the issuing of the first policy, on the 10th of J enu uary last, to the present time, emeraeing &period of scarcely tea mouths' active op, retinas, no les, than 269 proposals he 4111.1111104, to the amount of 98,4881. and producing pemelleme to the °Vent of 3,2001., have been made to the heard ; of which number, 203 have been completed. The ored on the policies issued by the company, ' is 71, The premiums on the policies thus effected, amount to 2,3761. p,r annum, the a verage amount o f th e policies being 3661. be. Your directors consider that these farts afford matter for hearty congratulation to the share holders and the soured; and they confidently believe, re• lyinr, as they do, on the sound and imperiAable nature of the principles of the institution and the earnest cu-ope ration end assistance of their shareholders, assurers, medi cal referees, and agents,—that this company is destined to campy a promineut position amongst the most successful of the assurance Mares in the United Kingdom. The Mieeten have endsaround to extend the humus of t' e company by the aopuintment of efficient agents in the principal towns in England,—espacially in Liverpool, Man chester, Heading, and Croydea, wlmre, as well as in Islington, influential public meetings have been held, for the purpose of explaining the peculiar principles 01 the Waterloo, and setting forth the advantages certain to accrue from their adoption,—and they tare much gra. tification in stating that the results therefrom have hilly justified the proaceiling, and answered their anticipateins. The directors have fled under consideration the importance of establishing local boards in several of the large provincial towns; and they have the pleasure to announce that they anticipate a large accession of power, by the formation, at an early date, of an auxiliary committee in the great com mercial town of Liverpool; as also from the establishment of the Unity Fire Laurance Company, combining the in- Sn and interests of the Foie aional, Trafalgar, and Waterloo Life Assurance Companies, which has opened new and extensive mewls of advance to the Waterloo ; as its name and principles thus associated will be made known wherever the Unity agencies are established. The directors have °hunt d the strictest economy in the work ing of the company, as will be seen by the accounts laid before you this day, approved and audited, and which they now present as part of tubs their report. It will be seen, by reference to the balance sheet, that the directors have invested 6,0001. at interest upon good securi ties ; in every case the greatest caution has been exercised, and it is most gratifying to report that not a single leas his been sustained. The following gentlemen retire se di rectors, by rotation, via.:—Edward Baylis, !Esq., and Wil liam Beresford, BA., and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The auditors who retire by rotation arc J. A. Durham, Esq., and Henry Nichols, Esq., and being again eligible, are recommended for re-election. In com pliance with the provisions of the deed of settlement, the di rectors recommend the declaration of a dividend of 61. per cent. (free of income tax), on the whole of the paid-up capital. The directors, in concluding this their first annual report, regard it as matter of congratubitien that the pecuniary enema of the company his been so far attained, and that in this the Waterloo has laid a surer foundation for ultimate prosperity than was observable in several companies esta blished at an earlier period, and now holding the highest fo e r s,j e ti trer in an tt rg i ;e u a b te li r e estimation. otiono of ßu p t ro t s heit if l y ook forward to the full operation of those principles upon which the company is based—when pecuniary advantages will become associated with philanthropic endowments, and the profits resulting from the exertions of those engaged in this undertaking will be turned into those channels front whence so much good, end that of so enduring a character, will ensue. They anticipate the period when considerable num bers of the young will be thankfully profiting by the educational means placed at their command, and will be enabled thereby the more suitably to enter upon the great duties of life,—and when those who have endured the straggl e and turmoil of an unsuccessful weer shall have found in the benevolent provisions of this company, that net and those comforts of home and its asso ciations, in their old age, which will render life's closing scene one of peace and serenity. In anticipations such as these, your directors feel that you have the surest stimulants Malec exertion, which will eventually realise the 11104440 of the principles which have brought as into association with each other, and they call upon the very numerous and influential body of assurers, s ha reholders, medical re ferees, end agents, to respond to the efforte of the board, by Individual exertion on their own parte, to bring proposals to the case, and thus extend the beardits of the institution, while they Inman the value of their own stake in its hinds. _ The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report.; Major Ewe briefly seconded the motion. Mr. BAYLIS addressed the meeting, and at some length and with great effect combatted the numerous attacks recently put forth, in the shape of pamphlets and other publications, against the new companies, and con tended- that those with which he was connected (and he believed all others) were in a perfectly sound condition, as proved by their readiness to throw open their books end ' accounts not only to the shareholders but to the public generally. The SICRITART (Mr. Williams) neat gave a short his tory of the progress made by this society. The report was then unanimously adopted amidst loud cheers, and a dividend of five per cent having been declared, Messrs. Bereaford and Baylis were unanimously rc.eleeted to the office of directors, sad Messrs. Durham and Nicholls to that of anthems. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the proceedings. - - BALLOON ASCENT.—Owing to the recent unfa vourable state of the weather the fourth and last balloon anent for the present year for scientific objects, under the direction of the Kew ainunitted of the British Association, only took place on Wednesday, Nov. 10th, from Vauxhall. It being desirable to attain • great height, Mr. Green was only aecompanied by Mr. Welsh. The balloon ascended at 2h. 21m. p.m., and returned to terra Area at 36. 43m., at the village of Aerys, five maim from Folkestone, having tra velled at the rate of 5.S miles an hour. The wind at starting was N.E., but, from the direction the balloon took, the upper current must have been from the W.N.W. The greatest height the balloon reached was about 23,400 feet, the temperature of the air being 11 degrees below Zero, or 43 degrees below the freezing point. Although light cirri appeared above the heads of the reronauts at the greatest height, yet the dryness of the air was so considerable that the dew points were, by Regnault's hygrometer, unsatisfac tory. One dow point seemed to be 30 deg. below Zero, or 62 deg. below the freezing point, and a second was 22 degrees below Zero. Air was brought down for analysis. For the first time, the mronauts were inconvenienced in their breathing, having to take very long inspirations, with a sense of fulneu in the head. The scientific details of these four 'scents, the first df the kind in the United Kingdom, will be made public when carefully elaborated. MEETING OF CON VOCATION.—Tho two houses of eon voeatim met yesterday morning in the Jerusalem Chamber. After settling various formalities the upper house ad journed to the library . of the Dean of Wettminster, while the lower house sat in the Ancient Chamber. A great number of petitions were presented for, and several against, the revival of the active powers of convocation ; after which, the Rev. Dr. Spry laid on the table a representation to the upper house, setting forth the necessity of a revival of convocation on various grounds, and accompanying it with an intimation to the upper house that such a matter had been introducsd, and praying tho upper house not to put an end to the sitting till it had been duly considered. The Rev. Dr concluded by moving a resolution to the above effect. Archdeacon Hare, of Lewes, seconded the resolution, which was opoosed by Archdeacon Garbett and Dr. 24%11, and supported by Archdeacons Sinclair and Browne. Tho Dean of Bristol moved, and Archdeacon Garbett seconded, an amendment to the effect that Dr. Spry's paper be re ferred for examination to a committee nominated by the prolocutors and functioned by the convoestim. Resolutions were ultimately passed requesting the prol o c u t ors to name a committee of governors for the next sitting, referring to such committee the paper of Dr. Spry, and praying the upper house so to appoint the sittings of the convocation that the house might be able to receive and consider the re portof tho committee. The proceedings of the upper house were conducted in private. The next sitting is fined fur Tuesday, the 16th, at 10 o'clock. TREASURES IN CIIF.AFSIDE.—" Why, there are sometimes three tons of gold a day passing through one house close by here." Three tons of gold a day !—Tons ! " Why, one customer of *at house has dealings with it to the extent of a million a month I What the business of that house will be, paws human calculation. There are ships an the sea now, sailing away for England as fast ail they can carry on, with millions stowed away in their holds! The gold they bring from Australia is so pure, that nature has thrown the refiners here out of the refining branch of their business, and all they have to do is to cost it into golden ingots, value eight hundred pounds sterling each. It is one carat cod three quarters above the standard, which is twenty-two carats I While the value of standnni gold is three pound seventeen and tonpence halfpenny nn ounce, and the value of Californian gold is below it, the value of Australian gold is from four pound one and six pence to four pound two an ounce ! When the house close by here sent the first two bars of Australian gold to the Bank of England, the Bank of England sent them back, supposing from their purity that there must be some mistake. When the house close by hero was first esta blished, gold was calculated in their accounts by the pound; it is calculated now by the ton. Then, their premises were thought much too large; now, they are f a r too sma ll. Then, gold lace was in fashion, and the making of gold wire was a most important section of the husineu; now, the making of gold wire has been abandoned as a waste of dom."— Dichess'e " Household Wore."

THE ALLEGED CASE OF CLERICAL MISCONDUCT. A correspondent says:—Some days since the Bishop of Worcester wrote to • morning paper, denying the truth of a statement which had been copied into that paper from the Plymouth Journal, stating that a rector, with six children, in the diocese of Worcester, had lately debauched a young lady in the vestry of his church, where he was confessing her—the result being a child, the death of her brother, and his own removal by the bishop from his living. The mistake appears to have been as to the diocese, which ought to have been Lichfield instead of Worcester. The paper in which the statement first appeared now says:— We have the clergyman's name, and the nume of the pariah in which he officiated. Ile was a perpetual curate and not a rector; he did seduce • young lady ; and her brother's death, he being very ill at the time, was hastened by the deep distress that he felt at has sister's fall. It will there fore be seen that although we made &mistake as to the dio cese, we made none as to the awful fact itself, as will be clear from the following letter: London, Nov. 6. ..Bir,—Thero appeared in the Morning [Jerold • letter from the Bishop of Worcester, contradicting • statement respecting a clergyman having debauched a young lady in the vestry of his church whilst confessing her. Your state ment is perfectly correct, but you are wrong as to the diocese. The church is in the diocese of Lichfield, but on the confines. The young lady resides in the diocese of Worcester, but was in the habit of attending Mr. ti—'s church. Iler brother was in • dying state, but the dis grace of his sister's conduct hastened his death. Mr. 8— is now in London, publicly walking the streets. Why, may I ask, has not the Bishop of Lichfield stripped him of his gown t I think it is due to the thatch of which the bishop has the auperintendencc, that such should be done. The bishop cannot plead ignorance, for the matter was brought before him. If the clergyman was not guilty, the bishop has treated him very unjustly in depriving him of his perpetual cure. Put some of these questions to the bishop through your journal.' The clergyman referred to WWI perpetual curate of a district church in the parish of T—, and, it is added, that he has been suspended by the bishop for three years; but whether this latter statement be correct or not, we have no means of ascertaining. MIDLAND RAILWAY. TO TIM 'DIVA& OP Tilt /AULT rosaii,iiov. 12. 3114—Exaggerated reports haring bee° spread as to the (all of the Crow Mills viaduct on the Midland Rail way, near Leicester, owing to the floods last night, I beg to inform you that the extent of the injury is in a portion of one pier which has given way, bringing with it • part of two arclies. One line of road remains uniojured, and though it is not prudent to work the trains over it at pro- sent, there is reason to expect that the hue will be open egaia in the course of to-morrow. I am, sir, your obedient servant, W. 11. BARLOW, Engineer of the Midland Railway. Form WESTERN .RAILWAT.—It is stated, that in corn queneo of the recent wise decision of the proprietors against the Western Exten•ion - policy advocated by the chairman and the majority of his colleagues, it was the in tention of Mr. Chaplin at once to have resigned the chair ; but we are now informed, that on consideration of all the circumstances of the cumpany—including in particular the resignation of the secretary, the present vacancies M the board, and the further vacancies which will be r condoned ►y the periodical rotation next February, Mr. Chap , in has decided not to relinquish his position until the next half yearly general meeting —after which time he will not be a candidate for the chair. BOAT I:I'SP:T IN PLTMOUTII SOUND.—A few days since, during a strong gale from the 8.8. W., a boat con taining two gentlemen and two sailors, was capsized in the Sound, and immediately filled and went down. As only one out of the four could swim, and a long heavy sea was running at the time, they must have been inevitably lost had it not been for the very praiseworthy promptitude with which another boat, containing three gentlemen (Samuel Bates, Esq., the lies. Mr. Doherty, and George Doherty, Esq.), born op to their assistance, at their own imminent risk, and by the molest possible exertions succeeded in saving their four fellow-creatures as they were on the point of 'nuking. They had themselves been endeavouring to reach the Resolute, hound for Australia, amengsrwlioae passengers are Lord Henry Scott and Lord Schomberg, end on board of which a drierintr was to have been given that morning, prior to her s a iling, had the weather been more favourable, I ut when some distance out they determined, owing to the violence of the gale, to put abut and return to shore, and they nem thus providentially the means of rescuing tour human beings from a watery grave.
