Conformably to the arrangement made, her Ma rty:id Prince Albert, acisompanied by the Marchioness of al crossed over yesterday to the shooting-lodes on Lodi Murk where it is proposed to tarry fora short time. The party left Balmoral a little before mid•day, and tra versed the distaaeo from thence to the loch—which is com puted at seven miles, though, as is proverbially the case in such 'natters, the estimate is found to be de:mule—mounted on Highland ponies. They were follows(' by a couple of stalwart keepers, who might have been useful in preventing them from straying—a misfortune to which those who ven ture thither without guidance are as the road, at any rate for a part of the way, seems nothing more than the oriel nal mountain track of shepherds, which has been gradually widened and rendered mere distinef, especially since the era of tourists began. The precaution that brought them there, however c isensendable, was not required. Cooducted by has Royal Highness, the party journeyed straight on their course, and arrived at their mountain retreat without annoy ance or =Wisp of any sort. As if there had been a lengthened preparation for this great rent, the little plus has bees made quite song in an ticipation of her Majesty's visit. Everything about it has, under the tasteful superintendence of Dr. Robertson, been put into a fine state of arrangenont and repair. Nothing Moil to °Dodoes to the comfort of the illustrious visitors that could be obtained has been omitted; although the ac commodation it &fief& is slight, contrasted with that they have been mustomed to occupy, and the situation is se uestered to such • degree, that scone would describe it se &PM.

ILIDDEBYTNYiII, TUESDAY. - _ _ The nomination, as will be seen from the report below, took place to-day. It was rather an oaf. mutate cir cumstance that Kidderminster fair happened to be also fit. d for this day ; and the consequence was same interruption to the anal course of buttons. It will be seen from what took pleas that, sines Saturday, circumstances have occurred somewhat materially calculated to influence the result in favour of the Independent candi date. I mentioned to you in nay last communication that the 'unrest of Lord Ward was not likely to be earned here at all favourably to the cause of Mr. Best. On Monday a letter was circulated is Kidderminster from Mr. Mathews, Lord Ward's agent, in which that gentleman declared him eel( abiolately opposed to Mr. Beat's pretensions. Mr. Mathews says: "To serve the conservative party is the borough, of which, from the part assumed by Mr. Best, I was led to suppose he was the chief organ. lincurred considerably trouble sad expense, and involved myself with several persons of great political oonsideratkn, Mr. Best, sen., having distinctly and emphatically assured me that if • Wiliam would return his son John, he would not I put his hand in his pocket to take it out." Mr. Mathews treats the rejection of his own friends and Mr. Best's nomi nation of his son as a breach of faith after this statement, and be says, "I feel I have no way of vindicating myself with them, gentlemen for having so grimly misled them, bat in the eosins lam taking." "Ullman have paused if I had not received repeated declarations from several of Mr. John Best's most influential supporters, of the little estimation in which they held their candidate's qualifications for the die tingidshed position to which his aspires." It need be scarcely be added that the publication of this letter has filled the tory camp with consternation, and given the Überal party increased courage and assurance of swam. Many votes will be neutralised and some changed by the 'cures which things have taken. It is very satisfectery to be abli to report favourably of the state of Kidderminster. The town is fr e of the noisy mob which on former occasions did so much mischief. The public houses are opt n, sad the only allec.ation on either side of electioneering abuse has been that some attemots have been made to induce doubtful voters to absent themselves. Last night the roads out of Kidderminster were era•chod by the liberals, in order to prevent any person being stolen away. It is due to an individual hen that I should mention a eiremoutasse bearing on what I said the other day regarding the eosdast of the now defunct Ten TOWS? Messenger. Bad se that paper less during the greater part of its career, it fall some time before it was abandoned into the hands of a publisher in Kidderminster, who did all that lay in his power to convert its abuses ; and, during his management, the paper was free from personal abuse Sr scurillous lan guage. This gentletnaa's character and reputation was never in the slightest degree affected by his connexion with the print, which, however, despite his efforts, never reco vered the bad repute it had origiaally acquired. THE NOMINATION. The nomination of a member to serve in parliament for the borough of Kidderminster was fixed to take place yesterday (Tuesday) at one o'clock. The mese of aomination was in a large field about oat of the town, upon the Wore/ate? sad Btourport road. Here a hustings had been erected, whereon sprees were appropriated to the friends of each candidate. The field itself was capable of containing many thousand people. During the morning the bands of both the candidates had waded Kidderminster to muster their respective adherents. Mr. Best's party lint passed out of the town on their way to the field. They did not make a very imposing display. Mr. °Morse sad his friends came about twenty minutes after. TM procession extended nearly half a mile. They bad an immune number of pink and white banum of all sorts and sly.* amongst which there was a particularly large one, inscribed with the words Parity of elecioa " The Blues occupied the right of the Mayor, sad the pink party the leg it space was left from the en!ranee to the fold to the hustings, which was kept clear by special con stables daring the first part of the meeting, but ultimately it was filled by a number of fanners and yeomen who had come into Kidderminster to attend the fair. This proved by no mean the lowa brig part of the amteathly. Both the parties were seusbled some time Likes one o'clock, Is, which hoar the preasidZe were spectated. A delay thus courred which was rs haonredly otwapied by the crowd calling for shows hurts for sad Agatha the candidates. It wu obviou that Mr. Gleba-see Meade were, at a very moderate coothatatioe three to ow, mad there could a rt have becalms altogethai the. 7,000 or 8,000 per. moss assembled. — The sisal forms having beam gene through, The MAYOR briefly stated why they were assembled, nod ropiewed order and attention to the speakers as both sass. Above all, he begged the sea of Eiddermineter not to diegrose this election b any breaches of the poem ' It bees arranged between the friends of the wadi. the that Mr. Beet should be Arm put in nom nation, Mr. WILLIAM BOYCOTT (a retired draper) come for ward to propose him. He said he had known Mr. Beet from his childhood, mad ha wee sere he was honed, and would do his duty is a member. That very day he (Mr. Boycott) had bees 53 years is wok in Kidderminster. He had taken part is variose elestices for Mr. Godson, sad it was curies. that the candidate he proposed to replace that member was also his (Mr. Boycott's) godson.

(The hos. gentleman retired amid load sheers from his party, and mush laughter from the other aide.) Mr. T. 019 BORNE then apprared, and was remitted with great applause. He said—Gentlemea I staid before you no novice, but probably for the last ars is life on a popular lawny, to advocate those principles ot whisk I believe to be is accordance with the views of majority of the inhabitant or Kidderminster. I swot help tanking that I have done some good sines I came into your town. (Cries of " Yes have.") I even Wok I have caused $1:4116 progress in the opinions of my hoe.= neat.

The principles I advocate are sot thus* of revolution—they are sot even those of lawny or iseossiderate change.

This is so now I Eliprinciple with me. I have not now to seek for principles. I :1 21 1'4d these principles consistently throughout my life in parliament and out.

Mr. But says free trade is gone by. I shall deceive none of you by any such statement. Free trade is not gone by. It has established itself ; it is the law of our land, and, for good or evil, we must abide by it. At nit juncture there arose • distarbance amongst some of the Blue party furthest from the hinting. These ap. peered to' be no sufficient reason for it, except that they weld not hear. It was thought, however, that two young guitlemen, ono of whom was Mr. Best's brother, and both of whom had acted as fuglermen during the meeting, bad earned or excited this di‘turhance. These young gentlemen were standing on the relliap in front of their eandidste. They wen called upon to some down. At first they refused, whereupon a great uproar aeon ' and the mayor was obliged to direct them to desessd. For some time they resisted his worship entirely, bet at length eon. plied with his desire. The row, however, had sow readied a pitch that rendered it impossible that any speaker could be heard :by any but those la his ismedive neighbourhood. The mayor, Mr. Oisbonse. Mr. Bin, and others, tried to quiet the disturbing,. bat the Burs would not cease shout Mg. At length Mr. Gisborne, seeing that it was steams to proceed. bowed te the mayor and withdrew. The Maycr and Towa-Clerk then came forward to take a show of hands. The latter exclaimed—" Electors of Rid dernsinater,who will you have for your member?" Whereupon there was a tremendous shout of tinhorns, and a forest of hands was displayed. The Tows-Clerk seemed to think the question, " who will you have for your member?" very essential, for he put it three times, and each time with the mess result. At length be varied it: " Will you have Mr. Gisborne ?"—Wherenpon the same hands were displayed, and loud cheering. The next question was, " WJI you have Mr. Best?"—in reply to which about ono-fourth of the meeting displayed their digits. The MAYOR declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Gabon*, amid loud cheering from that gentleman's party. Oa. of Mr. Best's friends then demanded • poll, which was fixed to take place to-morrow (this) morning. A vote of thanks was then passed to the mayor, and the meet lag began to disperse.

Mr. Hudson will have to refund to this company the surplus over payment with interact. There are two other rail transac tions mentioned—one a contract for 3.000 tons of rails, with Messrs.

The delivery of these rails was completed in May, 1848, and they were entirely esttled for at the increased price. Of nei ther of tire Late; either that of the increase of price or the supply by Mr. Hudson of his owa rails to the company till the beginning of this year, do the general body of directors appear to have been cogaisant. After a careful examination of the two transactions, the committee came to the conclu sion that Mr. Hudson should return the 9,0001. wrongfully received oa the Lint transaction before they proceeded to investigate the second. On being informed of this, Mr. Radom gave his check for the amount. The com mittee state that they cannot take leave of this matter without expressing in the strongest manner their repro baulks, of Mr. Hudson's conduct. Toe second traxasction was that in October, 1844. Mr. Hudson made a contract for 10,000 tons of rails, at 62. 10s. per too, which he said was a private speculation of his own, of which 7,000 tons were supplied to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 600 tons to the Newcastle and Darlington, and to this company 2,500 tons. Mr. Hu loon asserts that it was approprated to the company on the 6th of March, 1845, at ID. per ton ; the committee cannot find the smallest trace of such a purchase being made by the company on that day, no entry having been made on the board minutes, nor any went having been given by any director or officer of the company thereto. The corn. mittsn cannot admit that the company can be hound to • pinchers made in the mind of the chairman (who was also the seller), without its being communicated to some ono on behalf of the purchaser, and minted to at the time. They an advised that, even if such a sale could be sufficiently established, still the sale itself is an illegal transaction. The last matter referred to in the report is the sum of 3,1201. charged to the company on account of the Leaded bridge. The committee are of opinion, under the circumstances, that Mr. nucleon, though legally liable for this amount, may he fairly met by the shareholders in this matter, provided Mr. Hudson is disposed to meet the shareholders in the same spirit in the other matters referred to in this report, and that the Lendalbridge account shall in such ease be placed in his favour in the settlement. In conclusion the committee recommend that the remaining members of the old direction shoild be requested to retire from the board. That if this recommendation be adopted, the future course with respect to the several claims referred to in the report will be compa ratively easy, as all that will be necessary will be to request the directors (by resolution) to take such rips as circum stance, may render necessary to obtain their immediate settle ment, upon whatever terms they may consider most advisable. The report is awned by Messrs. Swann, Brooke, Dull, Kin near, Lloyd, and Stocks. THE BERMONDSEY MURDER. SOUTHWARK POLICE COURT. Yesterday Inspector Yates, who was bound ever by the coroner as the prosecutor of Manning and his wife, waited on Mr. Seeker, for his enaction to allow a trades man in the City to see Meaning. This applintioa had re ference to the ancount pines is yesterday's Erpress of the leaving of an air-gun at the shop of a tradesman in Cheap side by a pecan resembling Manninf. The application was granted, but Manning was not identified as the person who had left the gun. In the course of the day Mr. Slane, as solicitor on be half of Manning, made an application relative to the sum of money, 205., which had been handed over to Mr. Solo man, the legit !adviser of Maria Manning, to be applied to the purposes of her defence in the forthcoming prose elation. He said, that out of the ►bove amount he had received 61. 16s. : a sum totally inudequate to defray the expecsee which will be necessarily required for his defence ; and that ens object of the present application was for the purpose of nquesting that a fair pro portion of the money already advanced might be given up. There were 73 sovereigns, besides some French Rentn of considerable value, found on Mrs Manning, and which had no connection with the property of the murdered man, and ' he contended that Manning, as the husband, was justly en titled to the whole of it. Mr. Bechar said that at present he should make no order oa the sahjeet, but should take time to consider the matter. Mr. BMus then withdrew. 1011.7111 R PARTICCI4/11.

The second report of the committee of investigation to it; submitted to the shareholders at the meeting to-morrow , states that the committee execedingly rant they are obliged to defer for • short time longer the fillet and more important part of their report—namely, the financial position and pros. pacts of the company, the accountant having been unable to complete his investigation in time for the meeting. The committee find that up to 1845, or thereabouts, there appears to have existed virtually • body of directors, that Is, each member had some voice in the administration of the com pany's affairs ; but about that time, when the legislature was giving undue encouragement to all new railway schemes which affected existing interests, more than common energy and ability were necessary to watch our sod protect their property from the continued aggreseimis with which it was threatened ; then it was that Mr. Hudson made extraordi nary exertions in behalf of the company, and as he did so the other directors relaxed in their duties, until, in the course of a little time, Mr. Hudson became almost sole and absolute manager of the company, the rest retaining little beyond the 'bare name of directors. The minute books of the company have from the first but scanty records of the company's transactions, sad under Mr. Hudson's sole rule these records became still more meagre. That it was but too apparent that Mr. Hudson bad abused the confidence which was placed in him by wielding the power he obt a i ne d to forward his own interests. Mr. Hudson lost his better judgment and moral rectitude when left with the entire con trol of the line; but the committee cannot dismiss the sub ject without imputing great blame to the other directors for ever allowing their chairman to as. nem so grasping and cor rupting an influence in the mungement of the company. Had any ego of them acted with any degree of indepen dence or moral courage, Mr. Hudson must have been checked in his progress. In the middle of 1845 a change of the secretary of the company took plass. At the time the pre sent secretary was appointed the books of the company were a maw of oonfusion, and when the books wers.looked into, what with their satisfied state and the arrears into which they had fallen, it was considered the better course to open a new set of books altogether, which ware commenced in July 1846, from the published balances of the preceding half. year, leaving an interval of about 18 months during wh.eh the bankers' paw books were almost the only authenuo evidence of the transactions; the system of the employ having been to keep distinct banking accounts for capital and revenue. The shareholders will easily understand frog, the mention of this fact the difficulties with which the committee have had to contend with respect to the books. It was only educe the 14th of June last that the board passed a resolution that the cash-book be kept by the company. The eon:mines expect shortly to receive the accountant's report. The subjects to which the present report more particularly alludes are, the asle of North British shares, allotment of surplus Eut and West Riding and Hull and Selby preference shares ; shares cancelled by Mr. Hudson, proceeds of debentures not ac counted for at the time of issue, real contracts, and London bridge accounts. With respect to the North British shares, it states that at the halt•yearly meeting on the Bth of February, 1844, it was agreed, on the recommendation of the directors, to subscribe 2,000 261 shares in the North British Railway, which was then in course of formation for slaking a line from Berwick to Edinburgh. Those shares were acoordingly subscribed for, sad the deposits paid by the backers. The only record of this transaction in the eom pany's books is when the award sums of premium are plead to the credit of revenue in the half yearly balances, amounting, in ell, to 35,6354 These sum, were paid by Mr. Hudson at different times, and no director seems to have ever inquired whether the sums so _paid were affect, or how they were prodoesd. In right of these shares the com pany was allotted 400 eoasolidated Dalkeiths, 2,000 half. shares, 4,000 quarters, and 740 third-shares. The calls on the whole of these shares were paid by the bankers as they be came deo, and placed to the company's debit, but no account whatever had been kept is the company's books. Oa ex amining the account la the books of the bank the committee found the calls correctly entered to the company's debit, but they do not find that credit is given for the proceeds of the sales u they took place, the only credits for sales being April, 1845, 7,9251., and November, 1845, 2,0171. The re eponsibility on this account has now, however, bean entirely extinguished, as Mr Hudson paid the amount, with in terest, amounting to 60,2611, en thee& of March last. The committee were gives to understand from Mr. Hodson that he claimed • large sera on this account, as he bad paid mere to the company than the premium actually realised on the I shares ; but, after investigating the matter, they find • sum still due by Mr. Hudson to this company of 2,0161. With regard to tie Est sad West Riding and Hall and Selby preference shares, the report strtee that the directors were authorised, at the mating beldam the 16th ofJ unary, 1846, to apply to parliament foe ;HMV to raise an additional than capital of 1,260,0001. in 60,000 thane of 251. each, to be called East and West Riding extensions, of which 37,950 were. to be allotted among the shareholders according to their respective holdiog, and the rentsiader to be left et the disposal of the directors ; 37,939 shaes iso allotted were taken up. leaving 12,061 at the disposal of the directors, of which 4,991 an now on hand, and 7,070 have been disposed of as fellows : To six directors, 600 ; to five direeton, as sub scribers to the Whitby Helaine Compaq, 800; to other shareholders in the building onsoasy, 150 •, to silken of the company, 295 ; to landowners, 850: total 2,695, leaving 4,376 shares to he accounted for by Mr. Hudson. At • board meeting held at the 6th of October, 1846 it was resolved that a special meeting *Wald be held on the 26th fat., to authorise the none of shares for the_purchase of the Hull and Selby Railway. At the same board meeting it was propoeed by Mr. Hudson that each director should have an allotment of 100 East and West Riding shams, which was consented to I by all present. All the members of the direction accepted their allotment except Mr. Barstow and Mr. Dodsworth. There were other allotments to the directors and Mr Hod son, which the committee state were not warranted by the resolution of the shareholders, with the exception of the al lotment to the officers of the company, sad of 860 shares to the landowners. liters roma 4,375 shares to be accounted for by Mr. Hudson. A sum of 16,0001. has been plead by him to the itompa-y's credit, which he explains is the pre mium received on 2,300 shares ; of the remainder Mr. Hud son admits to have appropriated 1,100 to himself. A part of the remaining 976 shares Mr. Hudson intimates he disposed of to secure tfe interest of individuals in favour of this com pany. In addition to 225 Hall and Selby preference shares, which have been allotted to Mr. Hudson, there is a further number of 1,170, of which Mr. Hudson has rendered no so nnet. ffee the premium received on the,, shares the com mittee esasider himanquestionably liable to the company.

The bond of 10,0001. became dais in Anglia, 1848, and was then paid. BIRMINGHAM FESTIVAL BIRMINOHAY, TVZSDAT. This festival commenced this morning. With the general arrangements your readers have already been fully unformed. The public appreciation of these, aced the success with which they have been carried out, will be estimated by the fact that the attendance was by far the largest that was ever known at this festival on the first morning's perform lieu. Partially, this result is in a great degree attribut able to the brilliant anticipations enter.ained of what might be expected from so numeriully great en orchestra as fear hundred performers, and especially of one so well appointed in *very respect. Everything that art could suggest to ensure at once accommodation and elegance has certairily been done, and for all else the splendid company assembled fully com pensated. Amongst those present, in addition to Lord Guerasey, M.P., the president, there were the Earl of Bradford, the LMies Bridgman, the Marquis of Northampton. Lady A. Finch, Viscountess Aehbrouk, Major and Lady Louisa Spencer, the Dean of Worcester and M. Peel, Lady I:kt Clifford and the Misses Russell, Lady L. Herbert, Lord Wrothesley and party, Lord Sandys and party ; Sir John l'akington, M.P., and party ; Lord and Lady Leigh and family, Lord Pima the Earl of Ayles ford, the Hon. F. Gough, the Dean of Lichfield and party, W. S. Dugdale, E•q., the lion. and Rev. G. M. Yorke, H. Tufaell, E . q., M.P. •W. Scholefield, Esq., K.P. ; Lvrd and Lady Henley, leidy Moncrieff, the Hon. R. H. Clive, M.P., Sir B. and L a d Leighton , Si, A. and Lady Corbett, Sir F. and Lady W. Horton C. B. Adderlsy, Nag. M.P. ; Capt. Mike, the Dowager Lady Wainington end pa rty, &c. The judiciousness of the choice of the committee in selecting Mendelessohn's greatest work—the Elijah —for the morning's performance, was exemplified in the full attendance, noticed above. The principal changes to notice in th e corps from that of 1846, were the substitution of Herr Pischek for Eitaudigl, of Sims Reeves for Lockey, and of Madame Cu. Wan for Madams Caradori Allan. Taken upon the whole, perhaps, the auditory this morning were the eainen ; not that the chief artiste Pisohek, exhibited, or perhaps indeed possesses, the depth and fullness of tone of Staudigl; but whether from practice (which the last-named could not have had is this oratorio at the time he sung it here), or from some other cause, it struck us that the declamation of Pis disk was the grander, and the more impressive of the two. Certainly he acquitted himself admirably throughout the entire performance. Mr. Sims Reeves wit, too, at least a very good substitute for Lackey, although tra ces of this gentle man's late illness were mealiest enough in some parts where the utmost stretch of power was requisite. Of Mote. Casten= one could scarcely speak too highly, having in view her whole performance. Her part in use duet and recitative, " Whet have I to do with thee ?" was executed with mar redone beauty, precision, and skill. So, speaking not quits so geaerally, with respect to the Misses Williams—these lads acquitted thews Ives so excellently as to leave nothing weeded, nor anything that the moat fastidious or accomplished critic could wish for. Mr. Cbipp presided at the organ with admirable pleasure to all thou who beard him throughout the entire oratorio ; and with reference to the instrumental portion of the choir, we can scarcely conceive anything more nearly approaching perfection even in the minutest details. The choruses were effective in fullness and power ; neither was the but attribate wanting to complete their excellence. Running through the libretto, and bestowing upon it as much attention as time will admit (the oratorio did not conclude until after three o'clock), it may be noticed that the introductory declamatory prologue wit a magnificent effort of genius and power. In this Piochek left nothing to wish for, unless it might be that lower and deeper tone which Staudigl would probably have achieved ; although, perhaps, after all, this was not a fault. The Mimes Wil liams sang the duet, "Lord! bow thine ear," with great beim, acd feeling; and the fullest justice was done to the now welt-known recitative, " Elijah ! get thee hostas," by Mee M. Williams. The double quartet, " For he shall give hie 'agile," was prettily sung by the Misses Williams, Millis. Jetty de Treffz, Miss Stevens, Mr. Siete Reeves, Her Piscbek, Mr. T. Williams and Mr. Machin. In the succeeding duet, the extraordinary power of Pischek's voice fully developed itself, especially in the prayer or incan tation invoked foe the spirit of the child. la the chorea of the priests of Baal, the effect produced by the choir of trout bon, a was almost sublime; but perhaps the most striking characteristic of the grandeur of this chorus weir the moment when, in the despair of the priests, the multitude of stringed instruments fell in to swell the power and effect of the in vocation. Hurryieg on to the second part, as I mad needs do, I think that the opening air, " Rees ye, Israel," was Castel lan's best effort of the day ; in the succeeding chorus the brass shot, was heard again to great effect : the recitative, " The Lord hath exalted thee, &a." was declaimed in the most eplendid style by Pischek ; and Mr. Sims Reeves sang the recitative " Man of Ood," with marvellous beauty and pre cision ; so with the next song of the Prophet, in which seems to be fully developed the singular felicity with which the im mortal composer conveyed the spirit of Elijah into the cha racter of the melody. The succeeding trio of the angels, "Lift thine eyes," &c., sung by the Misses Williams and Miss Williams, was one of the most beautiful features of the performance. This and the succeeding chorus received an encore at the hands of the president. The air, " Oh, rest in the Lord," as sung by Miss M.Willianss, was de- Gerstell, 'scored ; although, perhaps, this scarosly was up to Miss Dolby's effort in the same melody. The Seal shams was su ng w i t h great spirit, skill, and precision. Probably, taken as a whole, the oratorio has never been eio well performed. To-night there is, as nand, a concert of miscellaneous mask; and to morrow the " Athalle" in the morning. I am not aware what the receipts were to-day--oertainly a very large amount. lam informed, however, that up to Monday morning the orders for tickets exceeded by 1,0001. that of any previous occasion. Mr. Peter lioness's but of Mendellssohn was placed in front of the orchestra this atoning.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. The deaths registered in London in the week end ivy; September let, were 2,786; of which 1,063 were by cholera, 234 by d'art ma. The mortality exceeds thvt of an previous week. The greatest number ever registered before in any week sines 1840, was 2,454 deaths, in the week ending December 4, 1847, wh en the last epidemic of infla mes prevailed. la the cholera epidemic of 1832, pariah Berke, in the old bills of mortality, returned 1,021 burials for the weak ceding Angola 28 ; which, allowing for the defects in their returns, and for increase of population, are equiva lent to 2,450 deaths at the present time.
