Peshawur being at the mouth of the Khyber Pass the extension of the railway to that frontier station, taken in conjunc tion with the line to the Bolan Pass (Sukkur to Dadur) would place the two gates of India in com munication with Kurrachee, the natural port of Upper India and Central Asia.

A meeting of gentlemen interested in promoting railway intercourse between -Birmingham and. Sutton Coldfield was held on Thursday at Bir mingham. It appeared that two projects for the connexion of Sutton with Birmingham by railway were now before the public, and the partisans of each had been endeavouring during the past two or three weeks to secure supporters. One proposal is for a railway in connexion with the Midland line, to run on the eastern side of the Sutton turnpike; the other is proposed, in connexion with the London and North Western Railway, to run on the west side of the road. The meeting was an adjourned one of those favourable to the western line. The Rev. W. K. Bedford, rector of Sutton Coldfield, was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he had made up his mind on public grounds to support the western line, or that connected with the London and North-Western Railway. He believed that would afford most ac commodation to thelmblic, and be the most profit able to the shareholders. He read letters from Lord Somerville, Sir Francis Scott, Mr. Spooner, M.P., and other landowners, all expressing concur rence in the western line, and hoping it would be carried out. Alderman _HODGSON, as one of a deputation, stated that the directors of the North- Western Company had met them in a very candid and fair spirit, and it had been agreed that three of their directors—viz., Admiral ag reed that three of their directors—iris., Admiral Moorsom, Mr. Ledsam, and Mr. Lyons—should be directors of the new company. The North-Western board had further agreed to co-operate with them in obtaining an act of Parliament, and would work the new line for the mere working expenses, which they undertook should not exceed 50 per cent. of the receipts. The itcheme was a bona fide one. ATTWOOD in a few remarks proposed a reso )ntion to the effect that the western line was the 'most desirable.. The motion was seconded by Mr. ROBBINS. Mr. LtnoLow said the- western Him was &tided?, the best,, , and deduced from his calculations that a dividend of 9 per cent. might be expected on the capital employed. After some discussion the motion was agreed to, there being only two dissentients. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTONSHIRE JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Glasgow on Wednesday ; Mr. A. Smollett, M.P., in the chair. • The report stated that at the date of opening the Glasgow, Dumbarton, and H e l ens b urgh line, on the 31st May last, the revenue was £46 below the revenue of the corresponding period of last year. It now exhibited a decrease of £23, thus showing an apparent increase in the two months' traffic of £23, as compared with the corresponding period of last year. The revenue of the company had not been materially affected by the division of traffic receipts at equal mileage rates with the Glasgow and Helens burgh Company. There was a saving in the work ing expenses of £BB, as compared w ith the corres ponding period of last vear, chiefly from the work ing by this company of a portion of the through traffic to Glasgow. The gross revenue for the half year ending July 31 last amounted to £7,020 and the expenses to £3,336, leaving a balance of £3,684. The directors recommended the usual dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, leaving £l4 to be added to the contingent fund, which would then amount to £630. The total expenditure on capital account amounted to £257,358. The capital en titled to dividend amounted to £183,510. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the half-year was declared, payable on the 29th inst. The meeting then separated. SCINDE. The directors of this company state in their i port that a formal commencement of the works on the line from Kurrachee and Kotree was made on the 29th of April last. The whole of the land re quired for the railway has been made over to the railwaycompany, and the works are making satisfac tory and visible progress. The shipment of the re maining 40 miles of permanent wiay material is nearly completed, with a further portion of rolling stock and the necessary stores, so that no time will be lost in opening and working the line. The coal recently discovered near the upper ter minus of the Scinde Railway has been tested by Mr. Brunton, the chief resident engineer, who re ports that " the deductions from the experiments show that 1001 b. of Scinde coal evaporated 2411 b. (water), and 1001 b. of English coal 3031 b. ( water), or in the proportion of 4to 5. The amount of ash left is in favour of the Scinde coal to the extent of 2 per cent. nearly. I have no doubt that this coal could be at once used for locomotive purposes." The harbour of Kurrachee is fast assuming great importance from its geographical position, its depth of water, and freedom from the influence of the monsoons. As to the capabilities of the port, this company has now landed at Kurrachee 25,000 tons of stores, from 46 ships from the port of London, without accident or loss of any kind. Mr. Dalzell, deputy collector of customs, Kurrachee, states that the external trade of Scinde now amounts to nearly two and a quarter millions sterling, exclusive of the value of Government stores, showing an in crease over the previous year's trade of nearly three-quarters of a million sterling—equivalent to an increase of 52 per cent. The main items of increase are, in piece goods, &c., 74 per cent. ; in metals, 37 per cent.; raw silk, 187 per cent. ; w oo l, 26 per cent. ; oil seed, 149 per cent. ; saltpetre, 59 per cent. ;, and grain, 138 per cent. Cashmere shawls increased about twenty-fold, or 2,000 per cent., during the year, and in some kinds of seeds there had been an immense increase. The export trade of the port in two years had nearly doubled itself, the value of which eight years ago did not much exceed half a milion sterling. The survey of the Punjab Rail way from Mooltan to Lahore and Um ritsir had been completed, and the issue of £1,500,000 with a 5 per cent. guarantee had been sanctioned by the East India Company. The proceeds of the first call, and sums in anticipation of calls, amount ing to £453,500, were paid over to the East India Company in March and April last. Preparations were being made for commencing a portion of the line, 32 miles in length, through a level country, from Umritsir to Lahore. The population of the latter place was 94,000, and of Umritsir 122,000, the trade of the lattex being otimateci at X 3,500,000 It appears that the directors of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the ensuing general meeting, to declare a dividend on the share capital of the company at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 31st of July last. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at Darlington, Mr. T. Meynell in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the time had now arrived for putting in force the Act passed last session for amalgamating the several lines hitherto worked by this company, and to make them part and parcel of the Stockton and Darlington With a view to carry out this and other provi sions of the act, certain resolutions would be pro posed. Some of these referred to a rearrangement and increase of the company's capital, with refe rence to which he would only say that every share holder in the companies now to be declared extinct would have shares occupying exactly tho same position as before. Mr. M'Nay, the secretary, then read formal re solutions, to the effect that the Wear Valley, Mid dlesborough and Redear, Middlesborough and Guisborough, and Darlington and Barnard Castle Companies had ceased to exist as separate send dis tinct companies, and that the following would be directors of the amalgamated company :—Messrs. T. Meynell, H. P. Smith, H. J. Stobart, H. Pease, M.P., A. Kitching, I. Wilson, J. W. l'ease, I. C. Hopkins, W. B. I. Hopkins, and W. Thompson. That 42,000 shares of £25 each, bearing' preference dividends of 6 per cent., 33,998 of which to go in lieu of Wear Valley and Redcar ; 8,000 ditto at 6 per cent., 7,120 in lieu of Guisborough and Barnard Castle, with a proviso that the last-named shall only receive .5 per eenttill after Dte._3l, 1f,6,01 - and 15,200 ordina r y s h ares of £25 earth be created; and issued rateably among the holders of ordinary shares, at the rate of one for three, a 'deposit of £2 to be paid on allotment, £2 10s. on the Ist of Jan., and £2 10s. on the Ist of April, so as tomake them rank with the shares of 1855, on which £7 had been paid. After some brief explanations, these resolutions were formally proposed and agreed to. It was further resolved that the directors be em powered to give credit, in respect of dues, to the Consett Iron Company, to an extent not exceeding £50,000 per annum, for three years, on security of a mortgage of their works. A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman and directors concluded the proceedings. RAILWAY CALLS.

Yesterday the in quest was resumed. Mary Shipley, aged 14, and Elizabeth Brookfied, aged 15, stated that they went to the Surrey Music-hall on the night of the accident, and sat in the middle gallery. In front of them was a party of men, whom they heard say, " We'll have this auction cleared before long." Just before the report and flash occurred, they saw one of them take his hand from behind him and put it on the top of the seat in front of him. The report immedfately followed. They believed it be a pistol, but did' not see one. The jury, after a consultation of half-an-hour, re turned a verdict that the deceased died froin injuries re ceived while escaping from the Surrey Music-hall dieing a panic, but whether such panic was caused by the firing of a pistol or an explosion of gas, there was no erAcuee to chow no 90 51 . 93 11}4 74 11 5 i I& Business Done. 60 I 20 :,~, i -~~, MIXING INTELLIGENCE. The mining share market: opened this week with a fair demand for certain stocks, and with particular inquiries for Basset, Grambler, and St. Aubyn, Providence Mi nes , and North Robert ; but, on the whole, the business transacted has been below the average of the past few weeks, and prices have, with very few exceptions, ruled lower, caused by a scarcity of buyers, and the pressure of shares on the market. Trevoole, which had risen last week to 18, 20, with a good demand from Cornwall, and promising for a further rise, opened flatter, and, after various fluctuations, leave off at 163 173-. We gave last week, derived from an official source, a short account of this mine, and since then, we learn, an improvement has taken place in the 28 east, where the lode is worth 1 ton per fm. ; but in the 100 the lode has split up in the cross-course, and to this may be attributed the fall in shares. In the 90, however, we are informed the lode split up in the same manner, and afterwards became richer than ever. Some of the heavy stocks have been more in demand. Dolcoath, 290, buyers ; West Seton, 270 275; Wheal Basset, 195 205, buyers, and rather a difficulty in getting st oc k i n either. Grambler and St Aubyn also in request, and leave off 1323 1373. Providence Mines, several buyers at an advance to 60 61 ; Wheal Margaret, 56 58. North Roberts not, quite so active, though a fair demand at 3 to 33-. Copper Hills are in request at 80 85. South Caradon, very firm, at 400 410. East Basset, 873 923, firm. We understand a second wine sinking be low the 60 has greatly improved this week, being, as it were, on the top of ano th er s h oot of ore; the purser calculates there are about 6 ft. more to drive to cut the lode in the 80. Upwards of 100 tons of ore are ready for sampling, and it is understood the accounts at the meeting will show a- profit, after paying for the crusher, and other extra costs at tendant upon the new engine. Bryntails have been in considerable request, the price leaving off 3, 33. The mine is improving greatly, and bids fair, after all its vicissitudes, to do well at last. The lode in the 10 is producing 25 cwt. per fm., and has every appearance of a lasting bunch of ore ; this is all in lv:iole ground, with every prospect of opening out a good mine. East Trefusis is looking better, and shares in derniind at 23 to 31. Vale of Towy, 175., 18s. Great Alfreds, not withstanding an improvement in the mine, remain at 4 41.

CHINESE ATTACK ON AN ENGLISH CREW.—The owner of the ship Cincinnatus, of Sunderland (John Hay, Esq.), has this week received a letter from Captain Sellars, who, writing from Hong Hong, says:—Another sad tragedy has occurred on board a vessel that tailed from Hong Kong about the 11th of July l as t. Sh e was b oun d to Macao and Manilla, and called the Bellacarma, with a crew of thirty three, and twenty-one Chinese passengers. When about ten miles below Macao, the Chinese portion rose on the others, rushed into the cabins, seized the arms, and com menced a downright slaughter among them. The captain was severely wounded in three places—the chief mate was also wounded. The second mate and five of [the crew were killed, and seven were wounded. They then set the ship on fire, and left her, taking with them chronometers, clothes, and other valuables. The remaining part of the crew managed to get the ship back to Macao. The Chinese all escaped.—Sunderland .Herald. A Milan letter says that the remains of the late Archduchess Margaret, having been embalmed, were laid in state at the palace at Monza, and were afterwards placed in a leaden coffin, which in its turn was put in one of wood. A solemn service was celebrated over the deceased with great pomp in the cathedral of Milan on the 21st, and the coffin was to be at once forwarded to Vienna for inter ment in the vaults of the Imperial family. CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.—Yesterday was published a long list of persons who, having been nomi nated for junior situations in the Queen's civil establish ments, subsequently to the 21st of May, 1855, and not having obtained certificates of qualification, have been em ployed-. and of all persons who, having obtained certificates, have b eeni employed and paid for a period prior to the date of such certificates, and subsequent to the 21st May, 1855. The return was moved for by Mr. Rich, M.P. The Opinione of Turin of the 22d, in an article on the Villafranca affair, declares that "in making a con cession to Russia Sardinia has no intention of alienating her independence, and that she cannot do otherwise than gain by the presence of Russian steamers in her ports, as she did by the Americans when they were at Spezia." THE RECENT FIRE ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—It appears from a letter written by Mr. Chas. Cooper, of the Superintendent's Department, Manchester, that the .tra ffi c on thi s li ne i s no t stopped by the destruct ion of the Baswick-bridge, satisfactory arrange ments having been made with the manager of the North Staffordshire Railway for the running of the mails and fast trains over that line between Crewe and Colwick. The company's engineers say that the bridge can be completely restored in three weeks • and a footbridg e i s now i n course of construction, and will be completed to-day, to enable passengers to change from one train into another at the spot where the railway bridge formerly stood. At the police court in Edinburgh on Thursday the Rev. IV.M4Kay, a Roman Catholic clergyman, residing at Dalkeith, was c h arge d with driving a horse and gig in a reckless manner in High-street and South Bridge-street at night, to the annoyance and danger of the public i and fur ther, with assaulting Alexander Robertson, of Henot-place, Leith-walk, John Anderson, of the Grassmarket, and John Wilson, of Gibb's-entry, by striking them with a whip on the shoulder and face. When called upon to plead Mr. M'Kay said his pony was not accustomed to the town, and was apt to shy, and as for the assault he had been ill lately, and wasvery soon excited by anything that annoyed him. The magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine of £3, and find securities of £lO for his future good conduct. ETROPOLITAN BOARD OF' WORKS.—The ordi nary meetingof the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday. Mr. Bristow presented a resolution of the Greenwich District Board on the subject of the southern outfall for tho ure , 4.l fr.-A irovcred trust it be con sidered Ly tlkt libUt d when the engineers' report is presented, which was carried unanimously. After transacting some routine business the board adjourned. PRESERVATION OF STONE.—A practical illustra tion of Ransome's process for the preservation of stone is now before the public, at Bloomsbury Baptist Chapel, New Oxford-street, where the Caen stone of the principal front, towers, and flanks are under treatment, for the hardening and preservation of it. A few years' exposure to our cor rosive atmosphere has sufficed to completely - destroy the face of the stone, and the sharpness of the moulded and enriched work generally. These decayed portions are now being reinstated, and Ransome's solutions applied to the `whole surface. Architects, builders, and others, to whom the subject must be of interest, have thus an opportunity of forming their own judgment of the working and effect 'of the proceo.---.23tifickr, H01?1?IBLE CHARGE OF WIFE MURDER - _LAT MANCHESTER. Yesterday evening an inquest was commenced at the offices of the coroner for Manchester, Mr. E. Herford, on the body of Susannah Reed, who had been found dead at an early hour in the morning, under circumstances of grave suspicion that she had been murdered. George Reed, the husband of the deceased woman, was present in custody. The sister of the deceased, who works in a cotton fac tory, stated that she had gone to work at the fac tory that morning at 6 o'clock. At a quarter or 20 minutes pest 8 o'clock, having left the factory to have breakfast, she was passing the cottage of the prisoner in Back Lever-street, and looked through the front window. She saw the deceased (her sister) lying with her body and feet on the stairs, and her head on the cottage floor. She lay as if she had fallen or been pushed down stairs. Witness tried the door, but it was fast. She succeeded in forcing 1 it open, and found that her sister was dead. There was blood upon the floor. Supposing- the prisoner to be up stairs, witness called to him and said, " Oh, George, what have you done F" He replied that he had not done it; she had done it herself; she had hanged herself on the bannisters over tho stairs. There was a cord round her neck. Some neighbours came in and advised witness to call in the police, and she found a policeman in Ford street. The rope round the neck was a short one, and would not be long enough to tie round the rail of the bannisters. Witness did not see any piece of rope on the bannisters from which that round the neck of deceased could have broken. Mr. I. Elliot, junior house-surgeon of the Man chester Infirmary, said he made a post mortem exa mination. On the right side of the forehead, about an inch above the eye, there was a lacerated wedge shaped wound, from which an immense quantity of blood was flowing. On dissecting back the ink u _ ments he found the surrounding tissues infiltrated with coagulated blood for a space about 4 inches in diameter. The wound was about an inch across, and half an inch the other way. It might have been caused by a blunt instrument, or by falling against a sharp corner. Mr. Superintendent Anderton here stated that there was no instrument found such as might have causedthe wound. There was a chimney-piece clos e by the pla ce w h ere th e b o d y was found. Mr. Elliot resumed—lt might have been caused by the chimney-piece. The wound penetrated to the bone, which was not fractured or indented. On the right check was a recent bruise, about an inch long and half an inch wide. Above the right eye were also remains of a bruise of old date. He found a cord (produced) tied tightly round the neck, with a single knot in front of the windpipe, and corre sponding to it was a livid mark entirely round the neck, about an inch below the chin, and also an indentation found on opening the winpdipe. Had deceased suspended herself the rope would pro bably have slipped up close to the chin, instead of remaining where it was found. The detective officer who had examined the pre : raises said he found no indications of the cord hav ing been suspended from anything. Wm. Dakin, a ropemaker, examined the cord produced, and said there was a piece missing from between the two ends. The cord was a stout one, such as is used for market purposes, and would sup port a weight of 3 cwt. Thos. Parry, a glazier, said he was engaged at the house putting into two panes of glass for about an hour on Wednesday afternoon, and deceased and her husband were quarrelling the whole time. As witness went away he heard Reed say to his wife, " If you don't conduct yourself in a proper manner- I'll be your death before morning." Several neighbours deposed that the deceased was very disorderly on Wednesday, but at night her husband was more intoxicated than she. The husband having been cautioned, said—She did it herself; I had no hand in it. I went to bed fresh in drink, and fell asleep, and slidn't awake till her sister came. She had attempted to strangle herself twice before. The jury, after some consideration, returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against the prisoner. It appears that the prisoner had returned from four years' penal servitude last Whitsuntide, having being convicted for robbery. 1-10 1 Ind three ,en _by the deceased. two of whom are in the workhouse. Tht third child was kept by the wife's sister. The prisoner had done little or no work since his return, and on the day Wine this 000ur rence he had drawn upwards of £4 due to him for work done while under sentence of penal servitude. With thil money both he .and his wife had been drinking on. Wednesday night, and he was not sober when taken into custody by the police. LOVE AND SUICIDE. (From the Manchester Guardian) Yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. S. Rutter held an inquest at the White Horse Inn, Longsight, Man chester, upon a girl, aged 18, named Mary Ann Keighley, the daught er o f an omn ib us dr i ver, who poisoned herself on Tuesday night with strych nine, contained in rat poison (flux vonzica). It appeared that the girl had lived 11 months as do mestic servant with Mrs. Roscoe, lodging-house keeper, and was i n th e habit Of waiting upon the lodgers, amongst. whom was a Mr. May, whom he appears, by her letters, to have conceived a strong attachment. She was a light-hearted and high-spirited girl and of a quick temper. I n accor d ance w i th notice given her by her mistress, with whom she did no t very well agree, she left her service on Monday, and returned home. No change was perceived in her manner up to the time that she took the poison. On Tuesday night, when her parents went to bed, they left her downstairs writing letters ; but they had been in bed scarcely half-an-hour when she called out, " Mother, come down stairs ; I'm ill." Her mother went to her and found her in bed. She said she had taken rat poison, and threw her arms around her mother's neck, and clung so tightly to her that it was with difficulty her mother could re lease herself to call for assistance. A neighbour, named Barnes, having been called in, medical aid was sent for; and in about half an hour Mr. Bil ling, surgeon, arrived ; but the girl had just died in gretit agony. She gave no reason why she had taken the poison ; but she requested that Mr. May might be sent for, and said that when the surgeon arrived she would confess all. After her death, three twopenny packets of " Hunter's infallible vermin and insect destroyer" were found in the bed ; and under her pillow were three letters which she had written. The first was addressed to her mother, father, brothers, and sisters; and read thus : " When you read this I shall be dead. Blame no one but Mrs. Roscoe ; she is the you of my doing so. G oo d-b ye, G o d bl ess you all. llm t him not; I forbid it. I loved him to the last, God bless him. It is for his sake lam dying. As soon as you find it out s send for him. God bless you, Mr. May. MOther, give him my likeness, if he will have it. * * Tell him tiot to refuse it. Tell Mrs. Roscoe I forgive her ; but it is her who is to blame. The second letter was addressed to Mr. May : "Dearest Mr. May—You asked me to bless yon. I do bless you and forgive you, as I hope to be for given for what I am doing now. When this reaches your hand I shall he dead. Do not make yourself unhappy dearest, at all. Be sure I love you to the last moment of my life. Will you visit my grave sometimes ? Please do ; and will you look after my mother ; and I will bless you for all. I forgive all my enemies, and Mr. Cornea f or hi s harshness to me. So good bye. May G o d pour down blessings upon your head, and all your under takings. See me when lam dead. Bless you, my only love. Blame no one for my death. Yo u m i g ht have kissed me, when you left.' The third letter was to Mr. 11. G. Bowker Liverpool, asking forgiveness for all the trouble she had given him ; telling him not to weep for her ; and saying she could not love him as she loved the one she was dying for. A post mortem examination, made by Mr. Billing, showed that the girl died from poisoning by strychnine, of which, it was supposed, there was about a grain in each of the three packets of rat poison. Mrs. Roscoe said that the girl left her house in high spirits, and only said that she had a better situation in view. _ _ . This was explained by the girl's mother, who stated that something had been said about her 17( n houeliccper for :Jr. May and Mr. Comes (another of Mrs. Roscoe's lodgerss, who were about to leave Mrs. Roscoe's. _ Several jurymen said a rumour had prevailed Mrs. Roscoe had charged the girl with being in, such a condition as would be brought about by itn. proper conduct ; but Mr. Billing , the surgeon, said there was not the slightest foundation for such a charge, and the girl's mother stated that Mr. May had told her that she was a good servant, and a very prudent girl, The jury, in accordance with the coroner's sug gestions, took a charitable view of the girPs conduct, on account of her age, and returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." - - 1 6 -7 was en ce r of ear- rail, .arS, 3 4 s 97 105 411 80 1 S: I 1
