I r i s h ca t t l e were numerous and in capital order. Fat was not bulky, but generally speaking it was . good. The cow market was crowded with excellent Ayrshire and country cows.

A searching examination of the vessel and the slip was made last night, but nothing satisfactory was arrived at to account for the unfortunate " hanging" of the ship ; but there is little dcubt there is not "cant" enough for toe vessel to slide down the ways. A second attempt to launch her will be made at the tip of the flood to -day. LONDON AZ D NORTH-WESTERN RAIL WAY. MEETING THIS DAY. __o7.lhe ordinary h a lf- year l y meet i ng o f t h e L ondon and N -th-Western Railway Company was held this day, at the Euston Station. The Marquis of CUANDOS, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The noble CHAIRMAN in moving the adoption of the report, referred to the diminution of the receipts of the past half year, which he attributed, in a great measure, to the depression that bad existed in the trade of the country for some time past, and to the falling off of the traffic in con sequence of the closing of the Manchester Exhibition, and to the long and aggravating competition that had been car ried on with the Great Northern and other companies. The loss arising from the last circumstance could not be esti mated at less than £75,000., but as that competition had ceased, it was to be hoped that the receipts of the com pany would recover. Whilst loss bad been entailed en the North-Western, it was somewhat consolatory to find that, according to the half-yearly statements put forward by some of the opposing parties, no benefit had accrued to them. The combination that had been made to divert their Manchester traffic he thought fully justified the directors of the North-Western in the course they had pursued. During the time the competition lasted it was fully expected that Parliament would interfere and put a stop to ..so ruinous a proceeding to both parties, and that they had not done so, but had allowed the vast property of the shareholders to become the sport of ethers, was a matter of surprise to ,every person who felt an interest in the prosperity of railway property. The chairman then referred to the parliamentary pro ceedings of the company during the last session. The bill for empowering the London and North-Western Company to enlarge the Victoria passenger station at Man chester, and to make other improvements, had received tha sanction of the Legislature; bat the bill by which this com pany sought power to connect the Yorkshire lines with the main line by a short branch from Staleybridge to Denton and Longsigbt, bad been lost in the House of Lords, after having successfully passed through all its stages in the lower house. The bill to anthrrise an arrangement with the Chester and Holyhead and London and North-Western Companies, and to amend the English and Irish postal and passenger acts, had al.o received the approval of the Legislature, and it was confi dently expected that advantages of a most important descrip tion would follow such a measure. With regard to the large claims said to be due by this company to the Sheffield Company, all the directors had to say upon that point was, that there was simply no foundation for such an assertion. The branch from Watford to St. Albans, and a portion of the third line from London t o W a tf or d had been completed and opened to the public, and to Crewe and Shrewsbury, and that to Northampton and Market Harborough would, in a short time, also be opened, as they were quite complete. Having alluded to the conversion of a portion of the borrowed capital of the company into debenture stock, the chairman concluded by moving the usual resolution, viz., the teception and adoption of the report. The motion, having been seconded, was, after some dis cussion, carried unanimously. A resolution sanctioning the payment of a dividend of 31 per cent. for the past half-year was also agreed to. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceed ings. THE PANAMA ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA. The following memorial is in course of signature by par ties connected with our dependencies in the Pacific : "To THE RIGHT IION. SIR E. BULWER LYTTON, BART., M.P., SECRETARY OFSTATE FOR TIIE COLONIES, &C. "The memorial of the undersigned bankers, merchants, and others, inhabitants of, or otherwise interested in, the welfare of the colonies of New South Wales, Moreton Bay, and New Zealand, " Sheweth-1. That your memorialists have suffered great inconvenience, and, in some instances, considerable loss, in consequence of the delays and irregularities which have hitherto attended the performance of the postal service between this country and the Australian colonies. "2. That even with the present insufficient communica tion the mails are rapidly increasing in bulk and importance, whilst an amount of traffic is springinc , up which demon strates the profitable results that would arise from a postal service conducted with regularity and despatch. "3. That the increasing wealth and importance of the Australian colonies, and the rapid development of their resources, demand a more frequent postal communication than has hitherto been maintained with this country, and that for such purpose a fortnightly mail ought to be esta blished. " 4. That whilst in deference to the wishes of the southern and western colonies of the Australian group, the route by way of Suez should be maintained, the interests of the northern and eastern colonies demand that a new route by way of Panama should be established, the mails being conveyed alternately by either route, so that each portion of the whole group may share equally the great advantage derived from being made the point of first arrival and of last departure of the trails. " 5. That the insufficiency of the postal service viii Suez :o the wants of the northern and eastern colonies is such ;hat twice only in the time during which it has been in ❑se c Sydney oy return of post; it is comparatively of little use to the district of Moreton Bay (about shortly to ba erected into a separate colony), which would receive its mails via Panama as soon as Mel bourne; and New Zealand, although willing to share the expense, can derive bat little advantage from the service. " 6. That the feeling of the colonists of New South Wales and New Zealand has already been clearly manifested, the Governments of both those colonies having unanimously voted a large sum to establish a mail service by the Panama route ; the former £35,000 a-year ' the latter £15,000. And this feeling has again been strongly expressed by the Legis lature of New South Wales, as appears in recent accounts received from that colony. "7. That whilst your memorialists believe that the Suez route ought to be maintained as having the incidental ad vantage of keeping open the intercourse between Australia and the British dependencies in the East, the Panama route presents still more important incidental advantages as open ing the communication with the British colonies in North America, the West India Islands, and the newly discovered gold fields on the north-west coast, as well as with the United zitates and with the coast of South America, between which and the Australian colonies commercial relations of great importance already exist. "8. That the importance of the Panama route is im mensely enhanced by the completion of telegraphic com munication with America, by which intelligence may be conveyed between the Australian colonies and England in about 30 days. " 0. That upon every consideration, whether of com mercial or political convenience, the maintenance of a double line of postal service is of the highest importance as a provision against those contigencles to which a single line will always be more or less exposed. " And your memorialists earnestly hope that their petition may be taken into the favourable consideration of her Majesty's Government. MURDER AND ROBBERY AT ACTON. A cruel murder has been perpetrated on the highway, close on the outskirts of the metropolis, four miles on the Acton-road, upon.the person of Mr. Edward John Gates, a builder, residing for a number of years at No. 12, Great James-street, Lisson-grove, Paddington. The first intima tion:of the occurrence was made by Sergeant Mansell, of the . T division. It appears that about 10 minutes to 12 o'clock on Monday night last he was going his usual nightly rounds, when, between Acton and Shepherd's-bush, he meta man named Henry George, groom to Mr. llolford, of Acton, who called his attention to a man lying in the road, appa rently insensible or dead. The police sergeant proceeded to the spot and found the deceased in the road about three yards from the pathway; be was lying on his back ; his face was frightfully disfigured and covered with blood. Ile was quite dead. A quantity of blood was lying on the road beside him. His clothes were in a disirdered state. Mansell, the police-sergeant, with the assistance of George, the groom, got him upon the path, and then proceeded to the station at Acton to give information of the discovery he had made, when a cart was obtained, and the body of the unfortunate man removed to the dead-house at Acton. The superintendent of the T division, being appised of the cir cumstance, sent for Mr. H. B. Lingham, a surgeon in the town, upon whose arrival the body of the deceased was stripped, when it was discovered that a foul murder had been committed. The vest, shirt, and drawers were saturated with blood, proceeding from two stab wounds on the right side, close to the heart. The most material wound was iudi cated by a large puncture, from which quarts of blood had flowed. The other wound, more in front, below the chest, was not of such vital importance, although that bled copi ously. Mr. Lingbam, the surgeon, having received mar: , rity from Mr. Wakley, the coroner, made a p ost too ! examination of the body, when be found that the stab in the right side bad entered the body neatly seven inches, com pletely perforating the heart, and ca usin g , as a matter of course, instantaneous death. The other wound, below the collar bone, and of a minor descr:otion, had not entered any dejtth, and was in no way connected with death. The fea tures of the unfortunate deceased were frightfully muti lated, evidently by severe blows—indeed, to so great an ex tent that his eldest son could scarcely identify his unhappy parent. At the inquest, which was held yesterday afternoon at :3 o'clock, at the King's H ead Inn, Acton, before Mr. Wakley, coroner for West Middlesex, and a highly-respectable jury, the superintendent of the 'l' division of police said the utmost exertions had been used to bring to justice the perpetrators of the murder, bueup to the present time no clue had been obtained to them. In answer to questions from the coroner Sergeant Man sell said that when the body of the deceased was removed to the station his person was carefelly searched, but no watch, and only three-halfpence were found upon him. The de ceased had been for years well known in Acto n , E a li ng, an d the surrounding districts. For some months past he had been engaged in extensive works at Mr. Reeves's, horticul tural florist, of Acton Bottom. He bad a number of men under him at Mr. Reeves's. On the opening of the inquest a number of the deceased's relatives were in attendance. Several of the county terleis trates and parochial authorities were present, and also a number of the gentry residing in and about the village. Mr. Edward Gates, the eldest son of deceased, said his father left home at Paddington at 6 o'clock on Monday morning last in his usual health. He (deceased) was pro ceeding to Mr. Reeves's, at Acton Bottom. In answer to questions from the Coroner and jury, the witness said his father had his watch and some pounds iu money when he left home. He was of sober habits and highly respected. The Coroner said there was no doubt that the deceased had come to his death by violence. He should adjourn the inquiry, and at the seam time direct that every possible exertion he used by the police is discover any persons who might tie implicated in the matter. In answer to questions from the jury, Mr. Lingliam, the surgeon, said that the wound which bad perforated the heart might have been done by a sword-stick ; the wounds on the head and face were the result of blows from a stick, or some other weapon. The nose was broken, and one of the eyes nearly destroyed. The hands of the deceased were also much injured, caused possibly by his resistance to the attack made upon him. The son of the deceased, who was deeply affected, said he was quite sure his unfortunate father had been robbed and murdered. He might have had a large sum about him, which if seen by bad characters would cause the attack upon him. The Coroner directed the police to be active in obtaining all the evidence they , could before the next meeting, which was fixed for six o'clock next Tuesday, the 17th Inst. the The parochial authorities have already offered x. 50 o for apprehension of the murderer or murderers.

DE GEKMINY. THE NAVY. The paddlewheel steam frigate Terrible, 21, Captain F. H. H. Glasse, from the eastward, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Wednesday, to assist the Valorous in towing the Queen, 112, to Deptford. The St. George, 120, is ordered to be fitted with a screw at Devonport Dockyard. His Netherland Majesty's steam frigate Eversten, 51, Captain May, left Plymouth Sound on Thursday morning. The Diadem screw frigate, 32, Capt. W. Moorsow, C. 8., arrived in Portland Harbour on Tuesday night, having on board Sir John Pakington, First Lord of the Admiralty, Admiral Sir R. S. Dundas, K.C.8., Admiral Milne, Lord Lovaine, M.P., Mr. H. L. Corry, M.P., and Colonel Greene &c. Their lordships and party landed on the followin g morning and made a complete inspection of the breakwater works, attended by Mr. John Coode, the engineer-in-chief, and Mr. J. T. Leather, the . contractor of the works. Th e Coastguard men of the d istrict, with the officers of the various stations, were drawn up on the depot under the command of Captain Lnckcraft, R.N., and were inspected by their lordships immediately on landing. The inspection of the breakwater works, convict quarries, and Verne-hill works, &e., occupied their lordships during the remainder of the day. During the month ofJuly there arrived at Falmouth, ir respective of the regular coasting trade, no less than 340 vessels from foreign parts for discharge or ulterior destina tion, embracing as per following summary 24 different flags,—viz.:—English, 129; Sardinian, 32; Austrian, 21 ; Norwegian, 19; French, 15; Swedish, 14; Dutch, 12; Danish, 11; Oldenburg, 11 ; Spanish, 11; Bremen, 10 ; Prussian, 9 ; Mecklenburg, 8; American, 7 ; Russian, 6 ; Neapolitan, 6; Hanoverian, 5; Hamburg, 3 ; Rostock, 3 ; Portuguese, 2; Belgian, 2; Genoese, 2; Tuscan, 1 ; Lubeck, 1 ; total, 340. The aggregate register tonnage of the above vessels amounted to 86,856 tons. It is remark able that not one Greek vessel is included in the list of arrivals. The Great Tasmania freightsbip sailed yesterday after noon from Spithead for the Mauritius. The Royal Sovereign, 131, new screw threedecker, was taken out of Portsmouth Harbour to Stokes Bay, yesterday, by Captain Gordon and the staff of the steam reserve, to try her speed, which, after the uso-.1 rung on and down the measured course with and against the tide, as eraged a mean of 12 knots per hour. She was not masted. The Trafalgar, 120, line-of- battle sailing ship, was yester day towed up from Sheerness to Chatham, and anchored off Folly Point. She is to be taken into the fourth dock at Chatham Dockyard for the purpose of being cut down, the Lords of the Admiralty, on their recent inspection having ordered her to be converted into a 90-gun screw steamer, and to be fitted with engines of 500-horse power. The Amphion, 36-gun screw steam frigate, George S. Thunder, chief engineer, is ordered to be taken into dock at Chatham for the purpose of undergoing a thorough repair, and afterwards to be fluted for the steam reserve. The Rhadamanthus steam shore transport, Mr. Sturdee, master in command, left Woolwich yesterday, laden with machinery for the Immortalite, the Lion, and Orlando, in the western yarils. At Plymouth the Rhadamanthus will ship, and sail for Pembroke, with the sai►s, gear, and crew intended for the 116-gun ship Windsor Castle, to be launched on the 26th inst. The experimental screw steam corvette Challenger, launched at Woolwich in February last, is completed in the factory department, and was on Tuesday removed from the basin to No. 3 dock to be coppered, after which she is to be conveyed to Sheerness to be laid up in the second-class steam reserve. The Humane Society of Dunkirk last week terminated and launched a lifeboat, built on the principle of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution of Great Britain, after the design of Mr. James Peake, Assistant-Master Shipwright of Her Majesty's Dockyard, Woolwich, and fitted nn Mr. Beeching's plan. The committee conducting the affairs of the society having solicited Mr. Peake's inspection of their boat prior to its being applied to its destined purpose, he proceeded to Dunkirk on the 2d of July, and discovered that the water had penetrated into the air cases, and under the deck, and that the cork was saturated with water, which circumstances would tend to a rapid decay of the boat. The deck was consequently removed, the inside of the boat cleared, a watertight deck fitted, with ball, valves, &c., solid chocks fixed for the relieving tubes, and the upper sides of the end cases flattened with cork. The above-named alterations occupied three weeks, when the boat was launched over the pier into the sea 10 feet below, and was submerged. She instantly righted, and relieved herself of the whole of the water in a very few seconds, to the great gratification and no small amazement of a crowd of spectators who had col lected to witness the event. Mr. Peake remained in Dun kirk until the boat was finally completed. At the conclusion of dinner at the principal hotel, the chairman of the com mittee presented to Mr. Peake a large silver medal, in tes timony of their satisfaction, and as an acknowledgment cf his courteous and efficient assistance. ATTEMPT 2'o L A UNC II TILE STEAM Eli MERSEY. The attempt to launch the fine screw steamer Mersey, 40 guns, which was made at Chatham Dockyard yesterday afternoon, resulted, we regret to say, in a total failure, as the huge vessel obstinately refused to leave the slip on which she has been constructed. The Mersey is longer than any line-of-battle-ship in the British navy, and is a truly noble specimen of naval architecture, in which science has of late years made such rapid strides. Her construction reflects the highest credit on Mr. F. J. Laire, the master shipwright at Chatham, and Messrs. Henwood and Fincham, his assistants, under whose super intendence she has been built. She is a sister ship to the Orlando, 50, screw steamer, recently launched at Pembroke Dockyard, and the second of the immense screw frigates which the late Lnrds of the Admiralty ordered to be laid down to compete with the large war steamers which have been constructed for the navy of the United States. The Mersey has been an astonishingly short time in building, baying only been commenced in the early part of last year. She is built from the designs of Rear-Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy, who has taken much interest in her progress. In order to accommodate her the slip on which she was built had to be lengthened con siderably, none of the other slips at Chatham Dockyard being long enough to receive her. She is half the length of the Great Eastern, and the following figures will give some idea of her immense size : Extreme length Length between perpendiculars Length of keel for tonnage 264 5.75 Extreme breadth Breadth for tonnage ..... 5l 6 Breadth moulded 5O 8 Depth of hold Burden in tons, 3,726 70-94ths. The total length of her engine space is 133 feet, and she will be fitted:with machinery of 1,000 horse-power. About 100 tons of her machinery are at present on board. The launch was fixed to take place at a quarter after two o'clock, at which time there were several thousand spec tators present, who crowded the galleries and every avail able spot from which a view of the vessel could be obtained. At half-past two Miss Nicholson, the daughter of Mr. W. 11. Nicholson, Rochester, was conducted to the head of the e vessel by Mr. Laire, and that young lad y p the ceremony of " christening" the Mersey. Immefodiately eftrwards the last dog-shore was knocked away, but to the err me surprise of the officials connected with the dockyard the huge vessel gave no signs of moving down the ways" into the Medway. Mr. Laire, who appeared very anxious for a ve orders for the the launching of the vessel, immediately g ship to be eased by splitting the large blocks which in a measure stayed her, and this op eration, which occupied nearly an hour, was cotnpleted ; still the Mersey, with Leviathan-like obstinacy, refused to /neve_ the sixteenth part of an inch. Matters were now bees.ming serious, as the I tide was ebbing fast, and in a very short time it would have been attended with great risk and damage to launch her at all. A large number of shipwright 4, under the direction of Mr. Lairs and Mr. Fincharn, were then employed to drive wedges beneath the vessel in order to start her, at the same time the foreblock was knocked away. Notwithstanding every attempt on the part of a large body of shipwrights ille ship could not be induced to leave the stocks, although every block had been removed and powerful screws applied to move her. After working fur about two hours Mr. Laire ordered the shipwrights to sh o r e the v essel up again, and she now remains firm on the stocks. With regard to the failure in the attempt to launch the Mersey—the first which has been known to occur to any vessel at Chatham Dockyard for a great number of years— on which the Mersey i s b u il t, w hi c h h as it is believed to occur f r om t h e si n king of the ground at the head of the slip carried the " way s" down with it and destroyed the incline. There is no doubt this supposition is correct, as the clip hp being only the second v e sse l b u ilt on qu ite new, the Mersey it; And although CVO rY PrecAutlQA was taken by Nears. LITERA7'IIR.E. An Effectical and Simple Remedy for Scarlatina at Measles ; with an Appendix of Cares. By Charl. Witt, Member of the Royal College of Surgeon; Philip and Son, 32, Fleet-street. The unusual prevalence of scarlet fever, in all it forms, during the past year, must incline the publi.; to listen favourably to any new and successful sys tem of treating such a dangerous enemy. The pamphlet before us , is addressed to John Simon, Esq., F.R.S., the medical officer of the General Board of Health, and it strongly upholds a very simple mode of cure, which it asserts has never failed. The remedy consists solely of repeated doses of the bi-carbonate of ammonia, combined, of course, with the ordinary precautions of avoiding chill, draughts, and also any acid drinks. This treatment, especially' if commenced early in the disease, is said to effect a speedy cure, and the authority of several medical men, and numerous cases of cure, are adduced in support. The system is not a new one, as it is more than fifty years since Dr. Peart published a treatise on Malignant Scarlet Fever and Sore Throat, in which he described the wonderful effects of the subcarbonate of ammonia ; asserting that, " like other practitioners, he was continually lament ing the loss of his patients by that dreadful malady ; till he employed the subcarbonate of ammonia in the manner he describes ; and from that moment he did not lose one patient out of nearly three hundred." It is impossible for unprofessional readers to decide upon the merits of a particular specific ; but there can be no doubt that a system so strongly upheld by respectable practitioners and supported by evidence, deserves the immediate and careful consideration of medical men, who should avoid the hasty rejection of a remedy because it is little known and simple in its nature. We trust the faculty will turn their at tention to the suggestions of this pamphlet, which may be the means of saving many valuable lives, and reducing the large amount of suffering caused by this terrible disease. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) BOW-STREET.—:ALLEGED MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-- A man, who said his name was Henry Rogers, was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with being a deserter from her _Majesty's 55th Regiment of Foot. The recruiting sergeant said, last night he was in Charles street, Westminster, and about half-past nine he met the prisoner. He went up to him, and having convinced him self that he was a person he had been looking for some time, asked him if his name was not Jones, and whether he was not a deserter from the 55th Foot. The prisoner dented being so, and said he had never been in the army, and that his name was Rozers. A private of the regiment happening to be near at the time, he was called to see whether be could identify him, and be immediately did so, and said he enlisted last February. Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he bad to say to the charge of desertion ? The prisoner said the sergeant and the other soldier were mistaken in saying he was a person who had enlisted into the army. He bad never done so. He•had a wife and three children, which of itself would be sufficient to deter him from doing so; but independently of that, ho was 38 years of age, and had for years been subject to palpitation of the heart to such an extent that no military doctor would pass In answer to further questions from Mr. Henry, the ser geant said be bad no doubt about the man. _ - Mr. Henry said, under these circumstances he must send him to the House of Detention until he was taken to the depot. If, as the prisoner stated, he was not a deserter be would have full opportunity of producing witnesses to bear out his assertion before the military authorities. ROBBERY IN Sr. JAMES'S PARK.—A woman named Mary Ann Smith was charged with robbing a young man named l'arker of his watch in St. James's Park. Parker said, about half-past ten last night be was entering the park near the York column when the prisoner came up to him, and catching him round the the waist said, " Holloa, my dear," asked him if he was going to treat her to some thing to drink. He told her he had no money, and she having let him go he found his watch-guard had been cut and his watch stolen. He accused her of the robbery and held her until a policeman came up, when he gave her in charge. The watch had not been found. Mr. Henry said it was very imprudent, to say the least of it, to speak to women at such an hour in the park. He knew that frequent robberies had been committed there, but as the prisoner was unknown to the police, and the watch had not been found, he had no alternative but to order her diechbrge. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.--LEAD STRIPPING AT THE ARTISTS' CLUB, ST. JAMES'S-STREET.—Two rough, determined-looking fellows, in the dress of labourers, named Richard Smith and William Riley, were charged with stealing a quantity of lead from the roof of the Artists' Club, St. James's-street, the property of the Duke of Cleveland and others, trustees. From the evidence of the porter of the club, it appeared that on the previous evening he went up to the top of the house, and t!icre saw the two prisoners in the act of beating up a large piece of lead which had been stripped from the roof. The porter asked them what they were doing, when he was told they were mending the roof. Assisted by another porter, be secured Riley, but Smith got away down a la«lder placed against the adjoining house, nhich was under repair. Police-constable, 185 C, proved securing Smith in Picca dilly, and while on the road to the station he bolted, but the officer pursued and captured him. Smith said he had nothing to do with stealing the lead. He was asked by Riley to go up and assist in carrying some slates, when the porter came up. He wished to call a wit ness to character. A respectable tradesman said be had employed him several times, and had paid him £2 4s. last week. The porter of the dub said the prisoners must have got up the ladder placed against the next house, as, if they had ✓none through the club-liouse, they would have been seen. Abraham Evans, a carpenter employed at the adjoining house, identified thetools produced as his property.
