The build ing, which occupies a conspicuous position in the Wellington-road, one of the principal thorough fares in the town, contains library, news-room, class rooms, anp a large lecture hall, and has been erected at a cost of about £5,000. Lord Stanly was accom panied on to the platform by Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Mr. Sidebottom, President of the Institution ; the Mayor of Manchester, Major Coppock, and several local notables. The hell was filled in all parts. Lord STANLEY, after some introductory remarks, said, he believed that one of the chief controversies of our own age or the next age would be as to the limit to be placed on state aid in education, With out entering upon the question whether education should be wholly voluntary, or denying the value of Government aid, it might be stated to the honour of mechanics' institutes that they were based upon the principle of self-help, which was a leading cha racteristic of all national undertakings in this coun try, and were independent of Govern• ment support as well as of Government control. Referring to the alleged failure of mechanics' insti tutions, the noble lord said there had no doubt been many mistakes made at the outset. Thus there was at first too much generalisation as to what working men ought to wish to learn, and in the midst of the discussion on that subject they had neglected what working men did wish to learn. Again, he consi dered that the attempts to " popularise science" was a mistake. The attempt was made in a form which gave little trouble to the hearer ; but served no purpose as a mental discipline. Real students were rare in every class of society. Such persons they might encourage, but they could not create them; and science, in the proper sense of the term, could never be popularised. After touching briefly upon other causes of ill success, the noble lord re viewed the history of the Stockport Mechanics' Institution, from its establishment twenty-eight years ago down to the present time. He parti cularly commended the competitive examinations which the directors had introduced in connection with the Society of Arts and the Lancashire and Cheshire Institutional Association. Such exami nations gave a definite direction to the studies of the members, encouraged sound progress in know. ledge, detected ignorance, imposture, and unreality, and had an important use in showing those who engaged in them what they were fitted for in future life. While encouraging the study of subjects of a practical character, however, they ought to beware of regarding the acquirement of knowledge merely in its relation to our material prosperity. In these busy hives of industry, where the practical was liable to predominate, it was more than ever in cumbent upon us to cultivate the artistic and imagi native faculties. The noble lord concluded by an eloquent reference to the prevailing distress in the cotton districts. He thought they did quite right to celebrate the opening of their building, even in the midst of the existing suffering; and he was glad to hear that the directors had determined to throw open the classes of the institution free of charge to all persons that were at present out of work, but who had previously been members of the institution, He prayed that independence in cir cumstances might soon be restored to the working population, and that independence of spirit might never be wanting among them. When prosperity returned it would, he was sure, be a legitimate source of satisfaction to the founders and promoters of the institution, that in a time of distress and unexampled difficulty they had devoted their time end energy to the inauguration of an institution that would be of lasting benefit to the community. The noble lord resumed his seat amid long-con tinued cheering. Several other speeches were delivered is the course of the evening by gentlemen whose names are given above, and by others. STOKE-UPON-TRENT ELECTION. The nomination of candidates for the borough of Stoke-upon-Trent took place yesterday in the Mar ket-square, Hanley. There was an immense num ber of persons present. At the outset there was some little contention as to the order in whibh the c indidates should be nominated, Mr. Sergeant Shee stoutly asserting his claim to precedence on the ground of his having been first in the field. The learned gentleman's claim was ultimately conceded. After the usual preliminaries. Mr. COXON came forward and proposed Mr. Ser geant Shea as a fit and proper person to represent the borough. He briefly characterised Mr. Shee as an old Liberal, a man of distinguished talent, and as one whose long experience eminently qualified him to be their representative. Mr. Councillor BOOTH seconded the nomination, Mr. Alderman BROWNFIELD, of Hanley, proposed Mr. Grenfell. He spoke of Mr. Grenfell as one who would follow in the footsteps of their late mem ber, Mr. Ricardo, and being a commercial man well fitted to represent that commercial community. Mr. J. S. HILL, of Burslem, seconded the nomi nation of Mr. Grenfell. Mr. C_ M. CAMPBELL, of the firm of Minton and Co., nominated Mr. Beresford Hope, whose political views, he contended, were in accordance with those of the great majority of electors. _ _ __ Mr. GEORGE BAKER seconded the nomination. Mr. Serjeant SHEE then addressed the electors and non-electors. At the outset of his address he adverted at some length to the personal quarrel between himself and Mr. Grenfell, in allusion to whom he said that he (Mr. Shee) had neither come down to the borough with letters of introduction nor with Reform Club or Treasury money in his pocket. He characterised Mr. Grenfell as one who had been adopted by a small clique and coterie of Liberals, and one whose success at the polling booth would be fatal to the freedom of election in the borough. He (Mr. Shee) had been an advocate for free trade in public writings and in speaking long before the two hon. gentlemen who were opposed to him were of an age to take part in public affairs. After speaking of the service ren dered to the country by those who had taken a part in negoeiating the French treaty, he expressed a hope that the principles of that treaty would e s ew p nr in e tt i e hr d seo i t l ta y be ahtbeeors loictfoieuoxnnt countries, oifesc,ha un to u America. church Hih o ner r o paawt c reatsis m : u mc l a e r r t i o a l t h relations a in nd fa f v o o r u t r he of ed t u h_e cation of every child according to the religious faith professed by its parents. He was in favour of a large extension of the franchise--at least to £6 houses, and for the only protection and the only se curity for its independent exercise, the ballot. He charged the supporters at this of election, Mr. et Grenfell used intimidation ion,an with a emp l oyers of labour with having, in not a few instances, ordered their workpeople to vote for Mr. Grenfell.

If the advice givencom2 5 p years complications, o a n g s o by Lord Palmerston to Austria, Tu scany, and the other States of Italy , had been foll owed, Europe would have been save d the present and the dynasties of those countries the misfortune s which had since befallen t hem. Far from being on. freedom, posed to constitutional free deter mined advocate. He was for he was p a rliamentary its r taxation and for parliamentary government everywhere; f or free trade and for free discussion, and for the exten sion to all countries of some su ch security against arbitrary imprisonment as the liabegto Corpus Act, Ht. declared emphatically that he was in favour of the establishment of constitutional government in the States of the Church, and he never could suffi ciently regret that the Pope, after he had granted a constitution to his subjects, had been induced, by the murder of his Prime Minister and the establish ment of a republic, to depart from that wise and pru dent course, and did not re-establish that constitu tion on his restoration. He believed his opinions on this question coincided with those of her Majesty's Government. He thought that our foreign policy should he one of non-intervention. While it appeared to him quite unnecessary that the Pope should pos sess a large armament either naval or military, yet he was unwilling to see him reduced by the influence of England to such a position as to become either the obsequious ally or the vassal of France. He thought therefore that the Pope should be secured as his right, in a position of complete independence of other states. He complained that the "No Popery" cry should have been raised against him. He declared, in opposition to certain statements which had been forth in placards, that if returned to parliament he should consider the oaths which he should then have to take, not to weaken or disturb the Established Church, as binding upon him in their plain and grammatical sense. He then went on to notice the allegations which had been made, that he had come forward as a " sham can didate" in order to further Mr. Beresford Hope's chance of success, and declared that there was not one word of truth in the imputation. He demanded of Mr. Grenfell his authority for making that state ment, and to know if he still adhered to it. He appealed to Mr. Grenfell as a gentleman either to withdraw the statement, to prove it, or to apologise to him (Mr. Shee). He declared that even if Mr. Grenfell succeeded at this election he should not occupy the seat long enough to keep it warm, but that at the general election next year he (Mr. Shee) would again come forward, and stand up to vindi cate the independence of the borough. (Mr. Ser geant Shee was listened to on the whole very attentively; and was often warmly cheered.) Mr. GRENFELL was received with mingled cheers, hisses, and groans, the two last greatly predomi nating. After endeavouring in vain to get a hear ing, Mr. Grenfell contented himself with looking quietly on the immense mass of upturned faces for several minutes, and his patience was at length re warded wila some approach to order. He began by noticing the demand of Sergeant Shee for proof, explanation, withdrawal, or apology fox the state ment made by him (Mr. Grenfell) that he (Sergeant Shee) held a brief for Mr. Hope. Mr. Grenfell said that he explained now, as he had explained before, and as he should maintain, that Sergeant Shee had made certain distinct promises to him in regard to the conduct of this election. Sergeant Shoe almost immediately broke those promises, and he (Mr. Grenfell) did say that, having so broken his pledged word, the learned sergeant was capable of holding a brief for Mr. Hope. (Cheers, groans, and confusion.) He said that now, and he defied Sergeant Shee to deny that he had broken his word. (More uproar.) But he would leave the dirty sub ject, which he had only meddled with in self-de fence. (During the noise,which arose at this point it was understood that Sergeant Shee was demand ing a retraction of Mr. Grenfell's charge of menda city against him, and Mr. Grenfell reiterated, add ing that Mr. Shee was a sham candidate. The con fusion was so great, however, that it was impos sible to catch the whole of the conversation which was carried on across Mr. Hope, who was oppor tunely placed between the two more antagonistic candidates.) Mr. Grenfell continued—His and Mr. Hope's opinions were as far as possible asunder. H e (Mr. Grenfell) was a reformer, was prepared to advocate an extension of the suffrage, a redistribu tion of seats, and the entire abolition of church rates. (Cheers.) He was, too, a free trader. Mr. Hope had been reported to say that he was for indirect taxation in preference to direct, and in that he (Mr. Grentell) was opposed to him. When, too, Mr. Hope was in Parliament he had been a Pro tectionist. Mr. Hope was in Parliament when Mr. Ricardo was there; and when there were divi sions on the subject of free trade either Mr. Hope did not vote at all or he voted against free trade. (Groans directed against Mr. Hope, and confusion.) Mr. Hope voted against the repeal of the corn laws. Mr. Hope had told them his opinion on the reci procity treaty with France, and no one could doubt that if he could he would have opposed it, though he now accepted it with reluctance as a success. (Groans.) He (Mr. Grenfell) was a firm supporter of the foreign policy of the present Government. Sergeant She , : had referred to the opinion of Lord Palmerston on the Italian question in 1849. But the circumstances which made that opinion sonnd at the time were altogether different now. The Italians now had a kingdom, and they asked why they should have an in dependent sovereign in the midst of their terri tory, and they demanded that that sovereign (the Pope) should be withdrawn. He (Mr. Grenfell) was of the same opinion as the Italians, and be lieved that the question of Rome should be settled in the interests of the Italian kingdom. (Cheers.) Mr. Hope had told them that the Italian movement was a selfish movement—a movement for the aggrandisement of a little state. He denied this, and he asserted the right and the duty of the Italians to persist in advancing towards the in tegrity of the whole kingdom of Italy. (Cheers.) Sergeant Shee had charged him and his friends with getting up a " No Popery " cry. He had charged him (Mr. Grenfell) with publishing the disgusting correspondenc e between Mr. Daniel Lee and Mr. Molloy. He had not published that cor respondence. (A voice on the hustings : " Father Molloy published it.") But if Mr. Serjeant Shee thought the borough would dislike to be dictated to, as he called it, by a large and influential com mittee of residents of the borough, still less would it like to be dictated to by Father Molloy and his correspondent. (Cheers and groans.) In conclu sion he assured them, from all he could see and from all he could hear, he was destined to be their re presentative. (Cheers, groans, and indescribable noise, amidst which Mr. Grenfell withdrew from the front.) Mr. BERESFORD HOPE was more favourably re ceived than the last candidate, and was several times cheered during his speech. He declined to enter into the personal questions which had occu pied a large portion of the previous addresses. He I appealed to his public services—in Parliament for 13 years, and outside Parliament by his pen, and in other ways, for 20 years—as justifying his claims to represent them in Parliament, He had neither yielded to the blandishments of the Reform Club, nor of the Carlton Club, and had neither the money of the Reform Club nor of the Carlton Club in his pocket. He came there with no credentials—with no label round his neck ; but seeing the vacancy, he had come there to say to them, " Will you have me ? If you will, I am your man." He was one of those who said that the words Conservative and Liberal should be synonymous, Had he chosen years ago to have abandoned the word Conservative he might have had a seat from the Reform Club; had he chosen to have abandoned the word Liberal he might have had a seat from the Carlton Club. He had avoided temptation from one side or the other, and he should have kept out of public life at the present time had not the death of Mr. Ricardo thrown open a seat for a place with which he had some local con himself gen era ll y i n f avour nection. He declared of the foreign policy of Lord Palmerston. Being asked to state his views as to the Pope, he said he thought the trades of bishop and king went very ill in the same man. He differed from Mr. Sergeant Shee in thinking that the head of his (Mr. Shee's) religion would be stronger if freed from temporal cares than if he were a weak monarch. The Pope, under any circumstances, could not fail to be a weak monarc h ; b e must either be an Austrian puppet or a French puppet. In the name of order and de cency (said Mr. Hope), do not put a minister of reli gion in the position of being a weak sovereign, which is about the worst and feeblest position which he can fill. Let them keep him at Rome it they pleased —let them give him. St. Peters ; let him have his personal guard, an ample revenue, but let him reign in the name of the King of Italy. He was opposed to the ballot, not believing that it would prevent the evils now complained of, or protect the inde pendence of the voter. In the event of another re form bill being introduced, he would study less the interests of the landlord, the tax collector, and the rate collector, and make honesty and industry in the working man the test of the suffrage. If they sent him to Parliament they would send there an honest man and a hard-working man, one who would closely attend to their interests, and one who would be ready at the close of each session to come down and render an account of his stewardship. No questions were asked of any of the candidates, and the returning officer at once proceeded to take the show of hands. Rather more than half of those present held up their hands for Mr. sergeant Shee, not quite half so many held up their hands for Mr. Grenfell, and a rather smaller number of hands for Mr. Hope. The choice of the electors was accordingly declared to have fallen upon Mr. Sergeant Shee. A poll was demanded for Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Hope, and takes place to-day. A vote of thanks to the returning officer concluded the proceedings. 2HE NATTY. The screw steam corvette Rattlesnake, 21, Capt. A. E. Wilmot, C. 8., left Plymouth Sound on Satur day evening for her station, the West Coast of Africa. A letter, dated Aug. 13, has been received in Plymouth from the Topaze. She was then at Callao, all well. It was expected that she would be sent to Savannah. The screw steam frigate Phoebe, 51, just commis sioned at Devonport byCapt. Thos. D. A. Fortescue, was towed on Friday from her moorings in Ha moue into No. 1 dock in the d7ckyard, to have her bottom clean and valves overhauled. She will be ready for sea about the lst October. The iron steam troopship Adventure yesterday commenced coaling at Woolwich Arsenal, under orders to leave for Portsmouth, to be docked for repairs. The injuries, it should be stated, were sus tained in the Bay of Fundy, at St. John's, N. 8., by striking on a rock during a heavy and passing fog. The fact of the ship having been built in water tight compartments is doubtless the cause of her safety, as the compartment damaged instantly be gan to fill with water, at the rate of one inch per minute. The shock was terrific. The Revenge, screw line-of-battle ship, Captain Charles Fellowes, flag ship of Rear-Admiral R. Smart, K.H., Commanding-in-Chief the Channel fleet, and the Defence, 18, screw, iron frigate,Capt. R. A. Powell, C. 8., both steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday morning from Spithead, for docking and refit. Capt. Powell leaves the Defence and assumes the command of the Britannia, cadet training ship at Portland, on the 4th proximo. No. 10 dock of Portsmouth yard is now occupied by the Resistance, 18, screw, iron frigate, Capt. Chamber lain, which is receiving coats of patent compositions on the surface of her bottom plates preparatory to making her trial trip at the measured mile and at sea. After the Resistance has vacated the dock it will be used in turn by the Edgar, Defence, and Revenge, no other dock being available at present at Portsmouth for the reception of such large vessels. The Argus, 6 guns, paddlewheel steam sloop, 981 tons, 300-horse power, recently fitted at Sheerness, and commissioned by Commander Moore for ser vice on the China station, was inspected on Satur day last by Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness. Immediately after the inspection the vessel proceeded to the measured mile off Maplin Sands, in charge of Capt. T. P. Thompson, of the steam reserve, for the trial of her machinery. The force of wind was from 6to 7, and the sea rough. Draught of water forward, 13ft. gin. ; aft, 15ft. Gin. Average speed per hour, 8.459 knots; revolution of engines, 16.20 ; pressure of steam, 15; vacuum, 25. The vessel went round the circle in 5 min. 37 sec., the diameter of circle being 350 yards. She was on the mile three hours, the whole of which the engines were worked at full speed, and there were no hot bear ings. The proper officers expressed their satisfac tion both with the ship and with the machinery. At the conclusion of the trial the Argus proceeded direct for Spithead, en route to China. The Argus, 6, paddle, Commander 1,. Moore, arrived at Spithead early yesterday morning from the Nore en route for Japan and China. She takes out a detachment of Royal Marine Light Infantry for the service of the British Legation in Japan. The Sutlej, 36, screw frigate, Capt. Matthew Connolly (1858), fitting at Portsmouth for service in the Pacific, to relieve the Topaze, whose period of service has expired, was docked yesterday in No. 7 dock. As a proof of the indecision of the official mind, four times since she has been in the first-class reserve was the armament of this fine frigate altered, so that, in fact, at no period during the past six months was she in a less complete state for commission than at the time of her hoisting the pennant on Friday last. Orders have been received at Chatham dockyard for several additional men and boys to be entered at that establishment, to be employed on the Achilles, 50, iron steamer. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Commander W. B. Grant, to the Phcebe ; Lieut. E. C. Hall, to the Sutlej ; Lieut. Clayton Mitchell, to the Cambridge; Lieut. John C. Purvis and Lieut. Robert S. Chisholme, to the Phoebe ; Lieut. A. R. Tinklar (for gunnery duties), to the Phcebe ; J. A. Clifton, L. B. Crosbie, J. Hazel, S. C. Darwin, and St. Vinct. Nepean, mid shipmen, to the Phoebe; S. P. H. Dacres, naval cadet, to the Marlborough ; E. H. Rolfe and W. Wilson, naval cadets, to the Edgar ; J. B. Richards, sur geon, to the Galatea; J. C. Robinson, chief dngi neer, to the Phoebe; A. Gillies, engineer, to the Sprightly ; D. M‘Farlane, engineer, to the Severn ; W. Crosbie, to the Phathe ; T. D. Martin, acting engineer, to the Dasher; T. Edgar, first-class assistant-engineer, to the Phcebe ; C. F. Gregory, H. Rider, and E. Hocken, second-class assistant engineers, to the Phoebe; A. B. Gutteridge and F. Earnshaw, acting second-class assistant-engineers, to the Asia, as supernumeraries; S. H. Trenham and I. Lewthwaite, acting second-class assistant engineers, to the Cumberland, as supernumeraries; and 3. Allen, clerk, to the Phoebe. 711 E A Itllll' . Capt. Dyer, Assistant Inspector of Artillery, has received instructions to forthwith commence all in spection of the whole of the 10-inch, 8-inch, 68 pounder, and 32-pounder guns, together with the other cast-iron ordnance mounted on the forts and batteries comprised in the Chatham district, under the new regulations from the War-office, for the periodical inspection of the smooth-bore cast iron guns. Messrs. Naylor and Son, of Rochester, have en tered into a contract with the Government for the erection of an extensive block of buildings, to be used for the purpose of reading, lecture, and coffee rooms for the troops stationed at Sheerness, the en tire cost of the structure being n early £3,000. Col. Nedham, commandingthecoßmopyleatleaArhtiTe i rz in the Chatham distri ct, having spection of the Ist division of the depot brigade, - Royal Artillery, has issued an order to the division, in which he compliments Col. Talbot, in command of the brigade, on the excellent state of discipline of the men under his command ; and the inn!, rrovements THE BRITISH FLEET AT CHRISIIANIA A commercial letter from Christiania gives the following gratifying account of the reception just accorded to the British fleet on its first visit to that capital:— Christiania, Norway, Sept. 14. " This quiet city has lately been in an unusual state of excitement. A division of the Channel fleet, under the command of Rear-Admiral Robert Smart, consisting of the Revenge (flagship), Emerald, Trafalgar, Galatea, the iron-plated ship Defence, and the gunboat Trinculo, have been lying at anchor close to the town for the last eight days. " The presence of an English squadron in Nor• wegian waters is an unusual sight, and it has been most gratifying:to witness the efforts made by the natives of all classes to show honour to the British flag. Balls and fetes have followed each other in rapid succession, and from the King to the working man there has been bat one desire to express sympathy and respect for the welcome English guests. "On Tuesday last his Majesty Charles XV. gave a grand dinner at the palace to the Admiral and his captains, and on Thursday likewise a brilliant fete champetre, at his charming country residence, Oscar's Hall, to which not only the Admiral and his Staff, but all the wardroom officers of the different ships were invited. During the supper his Majesty proposed our Queen's health, which was drunk amidst the most lively cheering, and later a toast for the gallant British Navy, which was not less enthusiastically received. " The city of Christiania, unwilling to be behindhand in the ' work of love,' gave a ball and entertainment in the handsome freemasons' -hall to the officers and midshipmen, to which Admiral Smart was invited by a special deputation of the citizens. " Upwards of 1,200 persons were present, and the arrangements for the comfort and convenience of the guests were excellent. Among the decora tions the Queen's cipher and the Union Jack were conspicuous. Here again Queen Victoria's health and the prosperity of the British Navy were drunk amid deafening cheers, for both of which the Ad miral returned thanks in a few complimentary and appropriate words. _ _ _ " Every care had been taken by the authorities to make our countrymen's stay agreeable. Special landing-places were improvised for them, carriages placed at their disposal, and with respect to the marines and seamen on leave and o 1 shore the police made special arrangemepte to protect them from robbery and imposition ; in fact, I believe it has rarely fallen to the lot of our men of war to have been so much' lionised' and cared for in so short a time ; awl it is but right that the British public should know how popular they aro with their Nor wegian cousins. " This is the first time an English fleet has found its way up to the Norwegian capital, and it is to be hoped that the reception it has met with will have proved how thoroughly welcome it was, for nothing could have been more cordial or spontaneously friendly. " The Norwegians hardly look upon the English as strangers, but rather as old acquaintances of a kindred race, because the two countries are united by the most practical links of daily intercourse through the seafaring habits of both. To whatever part of the globe they take their vessels they find the shores discovered by the genius and energy of British navigators, and they find the peace of the ocean secured under the shadow of the British flag. In every sea they find some port or other where industry and commerce can take refuge under its protection, and they appreciate the boon which enables them and every peaceful foreigner to par ticipate in the fruits of British enterprise. The great expansion of the Norwegian commercial marine is in great measure owing to the liberal commercial policy of Great Britain. This is felt ; and, as trade has become developed, the materials which have arisen have strengthened the bonds that thus unite the two countries, and in no part of the world is the English name more popular, or the English flag met with more respectful affection, than in Norway." EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT A 7 THE MALVERN HILL _RAILWAY TUNNEL. MALVERN, MONDAY. Great consternation was occasioned here this morning by the rumour that the tunnel through the Malvern Hill, made for the Worcester and Hereford Railway, had fallen in in the course of last night. The accident was greatly exaggerated, but having visited the spot to-day, I am enabled to give the following correct details : The Malvern tunnel, which is nearly a mile long, and passes through the centre of the high range of hills which form so prominent a feature in the Worcestershire landscape, was constructed by Mr; l Liddell, engineer to the Worcester and Hereford t Railway, upon its amalgamation with the 1 e Midland. It was the keystone to the completionl of the work, the greater portion of it b o redbeing non' i a through hard cyanite rock. The whole tering arched and bricked inside throughout. On wag con from the Worcestershire or east side there structed an air-shaft about 100 yards ir! the, tunnel. arch of the This shaft was built throughout of bri a c of the top of it rested on the crown tunnel. The weight of it was of the e posed to have The roofing been the cause of the accidensatP noticed to be of the tunnel at this part w o f workmen were cracking, and a number rn o ina and repair it. placed on that part to ex l i on Saturday night The men were so engagedf inside the tunnel for ' upon a scaffolding erec e thern o bserved a bulging the purpose, when ono T d i m mediately gave the of the brickwork, ! i _ i i , mezi . They had not time when the shaft broke alarm to his fellow- when to get off the 1 : f the tunnel, and descended scaffold in g through up the line, and through the archway of short distance with broken bodily into it, "ilifPor"a filling the tun d %earth. Information was at once masonry an— 81 ,, na l men at each mouth of the given to the v , of co urse all traffic was stopped. Mr. tunnel, and n ,i ne er of the West Mid land Railway, Wilsen' e ' manager, and other officials of the West Mr ' ilemPl'and have been deal of the rubbish ha s b een removed by re lays of workmen, good and an openin g h as b een ma d e through, though of cou rse th e tunt.el is impassable for trains and probably will be for a day or two longer. In the meantime the teaffic between the Malvern and the Colwall etation, about four miles, is carried on by means of omnibuses, which convey passengers and luggage over the Malvern-hills between the two stations, causing a delay of about an hour. It is a most providential circumstance that the accident happened when no train was due in the tunnel, or the loss of life must have been frightful. The accident is attributed to the bad arrangements of the original engineering, and the making of an air -shaft of such ponderosity as the one which has caused the mishap, The affair has caused quite a " sensation" among the visitors to this fashionable place of resort. SYMPATHY WITH GARlBALDL—Arrangements have been made for a great public demonstration of sym pathy with Garibaldi, in Hyde Park, next Sunday after noon. Many thousands of persons are expected to be pre sent, The directors state in their report that the receipts on re venue account for the half year ending the 31st of July amounted to £49,894, including £1,373 from the preceding half year. The expenditure amounted to £18,424, leaving a balance of £31,469. The dividend:on the new 41 per cent. shares amounted to £8,968; the proposed dividend on the preference stock, at the rate . of 7 per cent per annum, would absorb £lO,lBB, and the re•oposed dividend on the original stock, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, would require £9,690, making together £28,846, and leaving a balance of £2,623. The working expenses, including rates and taxes, amounted to 37 per cent. of the gross receipts, as compared with 371 per cent. for the ccrrresponding half of last year. The efficiency Of the rolling stock continu e d t o b e f u ll y maintained. Th e eng i ne s were being' re-tired out of re venue with K ru pp' s p a t en t cas t- s te e l ti res , a t more t h an double the c os t o f th e or i g i na l ti res . - All other repairs and renewals were executed of the very b est material and work manship, Th e permanent way was in excellent order.• The original Scotch fir fencing, with Coe exception of the 12 miles between Iluntley and Keith, lead been recently re newed with substantial stone dikes or galvanised cable wire fencing; with castiron• straining pillars, and interint , diato posts of larch. The expenditure' on Ibis head, two-thirds s rails rails,u peor quality, fish-jointed. and the cost o f the of which were charged t o revenue;had been unusually heavy for the last six months, and i t was proposed to spread it superior over three years. It was prop ose d a l so to spread over the same period the cost of relaying th e south e nd of the l i no Thewithadditional weight new and heavier fish plates, bolts, and nuts were charged to capit a l. Fif teen miles of the line had been relaid in this manner withi n th e last two years. Mr.W. Cowan, locomotive superint en d en t, states that the Bogie engines continued to give the mos t entire satisfaction. They were better adapted for workin g round sharp curves, and were much easier on the permanent of h oef way than the old class of engines. The six engines at pre sent constructing were being constructed on the same prin ciple, The capital account showed that £1,440,082 had been expended, including £419,948 in subscriptions and disburse ments for other companies. NORTH BRITISH. The report of the directors of this company states that thnievenue of . the past half-year bas been seriously affected by the depression of trade,_ and, in common with other rail way companies, the shareholders are called upon to acqui esce in a dividend on ordinary stock inferior to any that has been declared for several yeirs. Special circumstances have contributed to this result, inasmuch as the opening for pub lic traffic of nearly 100 miles of new railway in sections un connected with each other has necessitated a larger amount of train mileage than would otherwise have been required, and even now, when the whole system is worked in unison, it is impossible, until experience shall have shown where reduction can be usefully applied, to adapt precisely the amount of accommodation required for the traffic. In the locomotive department the expenditure, including repairs and renewals, has been during the half-year £32,387, as compared with £29,870 in the corresponding half of 1861. The maintenance of the line and stations has cost £23,884, as compared with £15,050 in the corresponding period, of which £6,000 is for sleepers alone. In relaying the line the directors have used sleepers thoroughly creosoted, and rails hardened by patent process, with fish-joints. The total working expenses have been £80,998, as against £66,242, and the whole expenditure £111,778, as compared with £99,414. The railway mileage on the 31st of July, 1862, was 292, and on the 31st of July, 1862, Dot miles, show ing an increase of 92i miles. The total revenue from traffic receipts, exclusive of the Border Union Railway, has been £161,814, against £163,534 for the corresponding half of last year, showing a diminution, notwithstanding increased mileage, on the North British of £1,730. But to the receipts of £161,814 must be added the Border Union working expense, 40 per cent. of the gross re ceipts, and proportion of net earnings due to the North British, together £4,725, making £166,539, rents and transfer fees, £1,046, and surplus from preceding account, £l,oss—total, £168,640. From this is deducted £111,778 for expenditure, leaving available for dividend on preference and ordinary stock £56,862. The total dividend on the preference stock and shares amounts to £42,479, leaving £14,383. A dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum on the consolidated stock, including £221,460. Border Counties shares exchanged, will absorb £13,712, and leave a surplus of £672. On the Ist of July the Border Union and Border Counties sections were opened throughout for general traffic, although the works on each are still in partial progress, and until the line between the Riddings and Riccarton junctions be doubled, and the station accommodation and telegraphic communication be completed, the traffic will be worked at a disadvantage, both as to cost and convenience. The directors recommend a dividend on Border Union ordinary shares at the rate of lf per cent. per annum out of the net profits. The capital account of the North British shows that £5,263,368 had been expended. The Border Union capital account shows that £835,955.had been expended and the 'Border Counties section £32,988 expended. The expenditure of capital on the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, now amalga mated with the North British Railway, amounts to £3,416,299. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN- SHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist of July to the 14th of September, 1862, amounted to £65,461, as against £68,832 for the corresponding period of 1861. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from the Ist of July to the 14th of September amounted to £7,025, as against £7,289 for the corresponding period of 1861, and the expenses to £2,945, as against £3,345. DUTCH RHENISH. The receipts for the fortnight ending Aug.3l, 1862, amounted to £11,432, and for the corresponding period of last year to £10,854, showing an increase of £578. Tho receipts since the commencement of the present book year, on the Ist of May, including the above, amounted to £78,726, showing an increase, compared with the corresponding period of last year, 0fi£4,032.

Mr. Osborn, the president, states in his report that the increase in traffic for the last 60 days has made up the defi ciency in the first quarter of the present year, and, as the expenses have been reduced, the not earnings to the Ist o f September are 200,000 dole. beyond those of the same period of last year. Wheat sells at 90c. to 1 dol. in Chicago, and corn at 29c. to 32c., and for six weeks the company have found it impossible to move the grain off3red at the station, and, as the warehouses are full, purchasers are withdraw ing from the country in consequence of the uncertainty of getting their grain to market before the close of the naviga tion. This, he states, cannot be remedied this season, It is indispensable to increase their stock during the winter, for t hi s autumn he estimates their loss from the short sup ply of cars at least at 500,000 dole, of business and collec tion, i n the land-office. This he considers the more vexa tious as that the resources of the line are sufficient, for the first time, to give a dividend on all its share capital. This favourable turn of affairs will, he thinks, obviate the neces sity of the shareholders taking up the question of dealing with full-paid stock at the adjourned meeting called for the 15th proximo, as they have the funds in hand for the Janu ary payments. TV_RECK OF A PORTUGUESE SHIP. IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. LITTLESTONE, KENT, Monday Night. Last night information was brought to this place that the Portuguese barque Cruz, from Hamburgh to Oporto, with a general cargo, and having 14 hands on board, was on shore. Thomas Mockridge, chief boatman of the Coast guard, and coxswain of the lifeboat, thus reports the ease: " The chief boatman in charge of the Romney Coast guard station, and his crew of six men, arrived at this sta tion about nine o'clock last evening, with information that a ship was on shore abreast of No. 2 Battery, Dungeness Division, It was blowing hard at the time from E.N.E., with a heavy sea, and the night very dark. Knowing it was not possible for any Coastguard galley to put off from the shore, it having previously blown fresh gales, we im mediately launched the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution, but owing to the flatness of the shore, and the sea running in heavily, we had a very laborious task in launching the lifeboat, there being so much broken water. We had also about four miles to pull to the wreck, which we reached about 11.30 p.m., when we found the crew in a very excited state, and in much confusion. They were about to abandon the ship in their own long boat; but ob serving the lifeboat they cheered our approach. Had it not been for our timely arrival the ship's boat must have swamped with her crew. After we had been on board about an hour, we succeeded in pacifying the crew. " The sea was making a clear breach over the ship, and the crew not knowing each other's language, much confu sion was caused ; but in the end we succeeded in getting all hands on board the lifeboat and effected a landing. The barque, although having had the assistance of two tugs at the next tide, is still on the shore, having lost her rudder and keel, and is now discharging her cargo. _ _ " I beg to state that this lifeboat behaved remarkably well, and is well adapted for this locality, or we should never have succeeded in effecting a launch ; and I hitve also to add that I received most valuable ,erviee from Mr. John Holton, chief boatman in charge of the Romney station, who accompanied me in the boat, knowing the whereabouts of the ship on the shore.—l have, &c., " THOMAS NOCE:RIDGE, Chief Boatman in Charge, Littlestone Station, and Coxswain of Lifeboat." The cost of this valuable lifeboat, which was named tho Providence by the donor, was presented last winter to the National Lifeboat Institution by the Rev, H, Hutcht son, of Canterbury.
