_ 4 MK MIDLAND RAILWAY WORKS. . the public improvements that are now being e ected in London by means of nets of par liatoeitOmmeuse. capital, and engineering skill, not the least conspicuous are the works ineonnezion with the Midland Itailway, &tin:nee-craw Regarded either as an addition to metropolitan conveni ences, or as another step in the direction of our national railway the Midland Ratansion from Bedford to on is an exceedingly impor tant undertaking. It would not, perhaps, be too much to say that outside of the railway world there is no great public work so little known as this. Now that the new Midland terminus, opposite the Great Northern Hotel, has begun to lift up its crown high over the rest of that quarter, the attention of the passer-by cannot fail to be per petually challenged by what is going on. Crowds linger every day to note the imposing ep ee of the magnificent arch of iron anu the Fe e v a i r a a tTian structure of timber upon which the , builders are performing their lofty avocations ; but judging from overheard remarks, the admiring and wondering looker on, tired perhaps of never ending scaffoldings and stopped thoroughfares all over the town, has seldom informed himself of the character of the building. Before the summer upon which we are entering is at an end this new sta tion, we are led to hope, will be opened and in full operation. When the project was first made known, the pcblic were informed that the station would be one of the most splendid kind, and worthy of the architectural skill of Mr. Gilbert &oft, to whom the designs were entrusted ; and by and bye, when the ornamental details of the building are finished, the promise will no doubt be fully verified, and London will possess another railway station of which it need not be ashamed. But of late months there have been such things as railway difliculties in the country, and share holders meetings and consultation committees in divers places, and hence it has come about that this hotel scheme in connexion with the station, and possibly some other features not absolutely essential to the every-day work ing of goods and passenger , tra ffi c, are allowed to stand over " fur the present. When, therefore, it is stated that the now railway works will be finished during the summer, the remark must be held to apply solely to the sterner details necessary to the ac tual running of trains. Without, however, the grand architectural embellishments, without the Duthie clock tower at the north-eastern corner, nearly 250 feet high, and without the mammoth hotel, there is more than sufficient in the work the Midland Company have in hand to justify their enterprise. In consequence of the difficulty experienced in deviating from the levels of the Old dt. Pancras road, a portion of which skirts the southern edge of the line, the new station occupies a considerable eminence, its average level liqing as much as four yards Above the neighbouring thoroughfares. On this account it will open some 16 feet above the level of the Euston-road, and opposite the block of build ings oae of the holm.s of which is surmounted by a grimy lion, and devoted to the manufacture of Mor riaon s pills. When the houses now being de molished are gone it will be seen that there will be a fine frontage of about 100 yards, and there are to be ample cab approaches, not only here but from every otherpussibledirceti,n. 'fhestatiou, the course of which may now be plainly traced amidst the confusion, will be 700 feet long, with side and cen tre platforms, with offices and rooms of the most ample and complete kind, and with adjuncts that will make it one of the best appointed, as well as the finest in the country. As for the roof there is nothing to compare with it in the world. Gigantic as is its span—for it measure. 240 feet across, and rises to a height of 100 feet above the rail level—and constructed as it will be of hundreds of tons of iron framing, it looks so light and pretty from below that the first impression is that it cannot possibly bear even the glass and slate with which it is to be covered. It is only when the pieces of framework are exa mined separately before being lifted into their places, and the elaborate system of interlacing is seen under which each section is made to bind the other until the whole is girdered and " tied" together in almost indissoluble bonds, that all fears vanish, and the sceptic has the ground fairly taken from beneath him. AJBefore we can fully estimate the service that will be rendered by this extension of the Midland system, it is necessary to remember what that system was, and what it is. Considerably leas than half a century ago there was no Midland Railway Company at all : at the present moment it possesses about 700 miles of good line, and is adding to the mileage every year. When the Midland Counties ' hue from Rugby to Derby and Nottingham, the North Midland from Derby to Leeds and Sheffield, and the Derby and Birmingham amalgamated into the present concern, and even after the line was ex tended to Bristol in the west and Lincoln in the east, it was regarded strictly as a mid-England scheme, and no definite intention was entertained of having a terminus in London. The natural growth of the line at last compelled the step, and if there had been no other remon, the opening of the direct route to Manchester last year would have been a sufficient excuse. The Midland Railway runs by way of Leicester and Leeds to Barrow, on the eastern coast of Lancashire (by which direct communication is had with Belfast) ; it branches off to Peterborough and Lincoln on the' right • and throws out more auxiliary lines to the left than it would be easy to enumerate, the main Point, however, being that there is, as it were, a second main line from London, Bristol, rid Birm ingham, Burton, Derby, Buxton, and Stockport, to Manchester. All this is good, sterling, trading country ; and in addition the line does not lack those picturesque features which give some charac ter to a railway even in a practical country like this. The run through Derbyshire, for example, PI-tees before the traveller a perfect wealth of ro mantic scenery, multiplied in a variety of shapes. The excavations from Derby to Buxton were of the severest kind, presenting hard rock and treacherous soil at every turn, one tunnel, not of great length, taking more than tour years to work out. Then the company has powers for other under takings. The Settle and Carlisle Extension would have almost enabled them to build a station at Gretna-green, but that pro ject, though not abandoned, has been some what checked by the unkindly turn of re cent railway events. From this brief sketch of the general system, and remembering how great is the mineral traffic that comes out of the Mid land Counties, the paramount importance of a London terminus proclaims itself. Hitherto, however, the Midland Company has only got to London by the aid of the Great Northern system from Hitchin. The extension, of which the works we are describing are the finish, is from Bedford to London, and it coven the district between the Great Northern and London and North Western lines. It is over 50 miles long, was opened for roods tra ffi c last September, and but for the unfinished state of the London terminus would be ready for passenger ser vice at once. It will open up some new and pleasant ground for townsfolk who can spare time and expense for short trips into the fresh country, and will give travelling facilities to locali ties that have suffered long enough from their lack. There are to be, or already are, stations in Camden road, Kentish-town, Haverstock-hill, Finohley road, Hendon, Mill-hill, Metres, Aldenham, St. Alban's, Har p enden , Luton, Sea grave, Harlington, Am pthill, and Bedford. After getting clear of the environs of London, which we may safely limit at the Welsh Harp at Hendon (over against which tho line crosses the upper por tion of the fishery), the country is spread out, rich in agricultural produce, and charming in its diver sified phases of rural h earty. • The first five or six miles out of London have, as may be expected, been mastered with much labour. Down to the river Brent, which is about six and a half miles distant, and where there will be a large depot for sorting goods, there are four lines of rails laid, two to be used exclusively for , and two e xc l us i ve ly for goods tra ffi c. passe prospect nger this affords of few delays and few THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 11, 1868. accidents is so pleasant that one would fain hops the company will see the necessity of continuing the sensible provision to Bedford, which they might easily do considering that they have adopted the precaution of purchasing sufficient land for the purpose. After paining the burial-ground and Re gent's-canal, the line runs under the North London fuse, between the Camden-roadanol Caledonian eta-1 tions, and soon after beneath the j unctienof St. Paul's end St. Augustine's-road. Here the way is covered by a glass roof, as a preliminary to entering a tunnel under Camden-square. The line finds day light again at the western side of Camden-road, where there is a neat station. It then continues between massive and lofty brick retaining walls to Kentish-town, where there is a station at the corner of Leighton - road, and a little further on there is a locomotive depot on the one side and a cattle station on the other. Passing Haverstock-hill the line cute through Hampstead tunnel. This is more than a mile long, commences in the northern part of Kentish Town, passes under the lower part of Hempstead, and emerges in the new Finchley-road, just beyond the Swiss Cottage. More than ordinary difficulties were encountered here, and the work, carried on night and day, occupied more than eighteen months. From this point we near the open coun try. The extension works throughout have been very successfully carried out. The sat was in 1863, and five years was the time allotted or the completion of the work. Some notion of the energy with which the contracts have been pushed forward may be gathered from the statement that at one time there were employed in the London portion 5,000 men, 800 horses, and 150 steam engines, great and ;mall. The last but not least of these new works we have to describe is the mile of underground rail way by which the Midland Company will develop its suburban and City traffic. It joins the main line at the entrance to the Camden-square tunnel, continues an independent oourse under Regent's canal, Old St. Pancras burial-ground, and below the foundations of the great terminus itself ; and takes • turn beneath Euston-road, in order to join the line at King's-cross, constructed by the , Metropolitan Company by the side of their own for its use. This piece of auxiliary line, the existence of which can hardly be guessed at from anything to be seen above ground, is ready for immediate use, so far as the Midland Company is conce rned, but there is a short length of 80 yards to connect it with the Metropohtan station at King's-croas, to be done by the Metropolitan Company, and it is its non , completion that keeps the line unopened. When it is in full working it will share the conveniences of the Metropolitan stations between Kim's -cross and Moorgate-street, arrangements having been made between the companies to that effect. This work has been exceedingly heavy, and the difficul ties to contend with in some portions, particularly in getting under the foundations of the terminus worka,wete almost insurmountable. Extraordinary means have been adopted to secure efficient venti lation, and to prevent the outcry against bad air which has lately been raised respecting under ground railways generally. Between Camden square and King's-cross there are several shafts, two of them forty feet in diameter, and conse quently large enough to ventilate double the length of line, which, it may be added, is car ried twelve feet below the Regent's Canal and the old St. Pancras burial ground. That this line will prove popular there can be no doubt. The diffi culty of getting to Hendon and Elstree, and all the pretty country contiguous, has hitherto pre vented their being more frequently visited, and the traffic that such a district must be able to bring to the main line can only be measured by the facilities provided. Passengers from long distances wishing to reach the City will, we presume, change carriages at Camden-square station, or some more convenient place further re moved ; and short suburban trains, on the same principle as the St. Alban's and City trains of the North London Railway, will doubtless run between the main services. The convenience to persons living at Haverstock-hill, Kentish-town, or Cam den-town, in getting to King's-cross, Farringdon street, and the intermediate stations to Moorgate street, will be keenly appreciated. The line is known in parliamentary documents as the St. Pancras Branch of the Midland Railway and by railway people as the low level of the Midland Railway. We are not in a position to say what these works are to cost. The original estimate of the branch from Bedford to London was 1,730,0001. ; for the London stations, 266,0001. ; for the St. Pancras branch, 200,0001.—total, 2,216,0001. Judging, however, from the money already spent, and the work yet to be done, it is very likely that before the entire scheme is concluded the expenditure will be more than double the amount. The engineer-in chief for the London portion is Mr. W. H. Bar low ; and the resident engineer, Mr. F. Campion— both gentlemen having been associated in similar capacities in constructing the difficult and success ful line through the Derbyshire Peak to which reference has been made. Tax ARRZABB eon Exxxna Tear.—The lists of the arrears in the common law warts for Fester Term commencing on Wednesday next, have just been Vend. The total in the Queen's Bench is 116, in the Ocianatut Pleas 101 ; and in the Exchequer 47—malnng 264. Of rules pending for new trials there are 35 in the Queen's Bench, 30 in the Common Pleas, and 17 in the Exchequer. It is anticipated that in a few months, in consequence of the operation of the amended County Court hot, applica tions for new trials will be disposed of in the same or fol lowing term. In the special paper of the Queen's Bench there are 73, in the Common Pleas, 59, and in the Ex chequer, 30. Of enlarged rules there are Bin the Bench and 2 in the Pleas,besides 7 applioations fori a nrle r nt and 3 postponed Indiana.

AIMS AT STALYBRIDGE.—The bitter animosity between protestant' and ostbolias in Stalybridp and the neighbourhood hem been intensified by a lecturer named Flynn taking Wright's old mill, in Ashton, for a month. On Tuesday night, between thirty and forty Murphyiles were returning from Ailiton.tuider-Lyne, from • lecture by Flynn. When they got to Cook Brook, on the Aahton sad lltelibridge road, they were met by about 150 who had been Been ppren 'only marching four abreeth irith = who were diutingulabe ß d by badges. The MerPliese who were escorting Mr. Flynn to StelYbeidlie, wile= he resides, were, of course, routed by the Irish men, two lamps were pot out, and several persona were hurt, but none senouly. Great excitement com menced in Btalybridge on Wednesday night, and s crowd perambulated the streets front about hal p fa7 until 9 o'clock. About • quarter to 10 o'clock • body as sembled neer St. reter4Ohapel. This wee an ticipated, as the churchyard wee filled, or nearly so, with defenders. A merlon riot then took plan, seek party being well provided with stones. Several psrsoau were somewhat severely hurt, but no one fate➢y. Tbe ad vantage was gained by the Irish at fi rth, as the inside of the church is elevated above the outside road, which gave great facilities to the Irish in hurling the stones with which they were well provided. The Bugliah mob then left the walls opposite, where they bad little chance, and got at the back of a wall at the top of Beierlynnet, about 15 feet high, in • field called Cheethem's Grounds, and from that point they broke the chief window of the chapel, and about sixteen windows in the Infant School. Many windows besides were broken in the church and in the houses surrounding by thanes thrown. During the riot on Wednesday night •im was fired, and • young man named Beeley was that. was conveyed home, and tea shots were extents& from his face. During the riot several policemen were struck by stones, Constable Delaney hing drunk en the side of the head. The disturbance eo e Bieneed again on Thursday morning about eight o'clock.

The latest detailed arrangements will not be known until to morrow afternoon, when a meeting will be held at Gene ral Bullet's. This morning Major Phipps arrived from the War-office to arrange matters connected with the review. This afternoon the 2nd Heals Volunteer Artil lery, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Galt, marched towards C ahem to meet the Lit Middlesex Artillery Vo lunteers, commanded by Colonel Creed.

A second train was despatched for the same destination at Wi ped six o'clock last night, conveying a:so many volunteers of the corps, end others, enumerated above. At Waterloo, whenoe a volunteer train was announced to leave at seven o'clock, there was no slight bustle and excitement, caused to some extent, perhaps, by the unusually large number of holiday makers going into the country, and many, like the volunteers, to Portsmouth. The arrangements were admi rably carried out, and by this train and that which fol lowed it at hall-past nine o'clock, representatives of seve ral Middlesex and Surrey regimental, both rifle and artil lery, were conveyed. There was also another train for volunteers at Ave o'clock last evening, which took down a good number of the citizen soldiers. At the Victoria sta. tion of the London and Brighton Railway there was only one train in the morning, at ten minutes pad seven o'clock, which took down about thirty men belong ing to the Queen's (Westminster.), the St. George's, 11th Middlesex, the 38th Middlesex (Artists) Rifles, the let Middlesex, Victories, the 29th, or North Middlesex, and the 36th Middlesex (Paddington Rifles). Another train was despatched from the same terminus at half-past 6 o'clock. To-day (Saturday) there will be in all eight trains, four from Waterloo, two from Victoria, and two from London-bridge. The traffic managers of the London, Brighton, and South Coast and South Western Railways have issued notices to facilitate the departure of the trains on Monday. Three "pedals will be despatched from London-bridge between 4 and 6 o'clock, the first at twenty minutes past 4, the mooed a* ten minutes to 5, and the third at twenty minutes past 5. They will convey in all about 4,500 men. There will be four specials from Waterloo conveying about 7,000 men, the first at a quar terast 4, the second at ,4.40, the third at ten minutes 5, and the fourth at twenty minutes to six. From ria station there will be but two, one twenty minutes past 4, and the other at ton minutes to 5. From Kensington there will be three trains conveying 2,200 volunteers, the first at a quarter put 4, the second at twenty minutes to 5 and the third at ten minutes past 5. Other trains will be despatshed, from Brixton, on the London, Chatham , and Dover B.ailway, and from various stations on the London and South Western and London, Brighton, and South Coast Railways. Commodore John Walter Tarleton, C. 8.., onn troller-general of the coastguard, will have to vacate that appointment on obtaining his promotion to rear admiral, by . the death of Admiral Sir H. D. Chad a ; and a vacancy armee among the naval aides-de-camp to the Queen, as Commodore Tarlatan is the senior ania-de-oamp, having been appointed in August, 1861.

LACK AND HOSlBRY.—Norrugatiur, APRIL 9. — Lyme : The genial air of spring, besides having this year proverbially melted the snow and ice of winter, seems also to have dispelled the dullness in this our staple trade, and the present brisk business, which is now much better than it has been for a very, very long time past, appears to have permanently set in—at least it is con fid en tly h ope d so . ave nothing new to repert this week, only that several orders have been received for goods required before the holidays, and they (the orders) still run on the fancy departments, creating plenty of employment for all hands engaged therein.—Honery: The advanced pri c e s o f y arns rather cripples business in hosiery, and the rates for cotton remain about the same as the previous week. There have been a few inquiries for goods, but buyers hold back in consequence of the advance asked. The home trade, it is satisfactory to state, still continuos to improve.—Nutting host Journal. CORN.—EIRMINCIIIAII, Aram 9. —At this day's market there was • short supply of English wheat which realised an advance of la. per quarter, bat the improve ment did not extend to foreign.

If. liie. ton. The tendency of the Belgian iron trade is considi to be in the direction of improvement ; the rolling n ere pretty well provided with work, and it is cope that further orders will be obtained on Rusaian accour very considerable extent of new railways being still ha geese in the Reagan empire. A fair number of order, merchants' iron have also been received of late by Beh firms. The iron trade of the &see (Prussian) dui has not experienced much change ; orders for pig have come to hand vertfresly. THE CASUAL POOR AT MARTLIDONE WOREHOI —At a recent meeting of the St. Merylebone guerdi who have vigorously carried out the act relating to casuals end wayfarers, Mr. G. R. Douglas, the governs the workhouse, presented his hall-yearly report as to working of the new wards, which ere the best in Lon, The report is interesting, as showing that in this par where the law is intelligently administered, both in letter and spirit, the casuals have decreased in this winter and most trying season. Mr. Douglas says :--" total number of admissions were 7,775 ; for the prey half year they were 10,620, and in the half year et Lady-day, 1867, 11,161, showing a decreases of 2,645 in previous half year, and of 3,406 in comparison who corresponding period of last year. Fifty children admitted during the half year as wanderers or foucil 44 of whom were restored to their relative, friends, and the remainder transferred to the worth echoed.. It was considered by many that the erecuo the new wards, with the improved accommodation vided, would have had the effect of greatly increasing number of applicant. in this pariah. Such, however, not been the case. On two nicht s the female ward without an occupant, three nights there was one owe only, and on eleven nights two occupants, and this in most inclement season of the year. With space f, men, 40 women, and 20 children, the average number nutted nightly during the winter months have bee men, 6 women, and one child. The wards have I found thoroughly suitable for the purposes for which i were erected, enabling a stricter supervision to be emir over the occupants, end placing the heating, lighting, ventilation entirely beyond their control or interfere The wards have been visited by a number of persona take an interest lu the poor, all of wl have expressed their approval of the arranger') made by the guardians for the relief of this clan. decrease in this parish arises partly from the strict cipline maintained in the wards, the rigid exaction of labour test from all capable of performing it, and perseveringly prosecuting every able-bodied recogt casual who in any way offends against the rules, by u improper language, refusing to work, or even negleetis work, This is not done without considerable risk to officers and great lose of time, the superintendent wl on duty at nights losing his rest in the day to attend police courts. Mr. Douglas acknowledges the smut given by the police magistrates and othters, and e that he bad had to prosecute 37 persona in the half.] all of whom were convicted, mostly of neglecting work, and sentenced to various terms of unprkenu Seven women were convicted of being drunk and disord • The whole ant for the maintenance (including prove , and bedding) and superintendence has been 104/. The casuals earned W., so that the eum to be paid by metropolis for housing these 7,775 persons is lied. g Douglas has been several times deservedly complime for the excellent manner in which these wards maintained. _ _ DraiiiizA. —HEALTH saeroaan ay Du BAR.
