Capital 100 Lacs of Rupees, or 1,00),0001. sterling, in 10,000 Shares of 200 Rupees, or 201. sterling each (with power to increase the Capital to 2,010,0001. sterling). Deposit 5/. sterling per share. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and the Government of India for Charters of Incorporation, to limit the lia bility of shareholders. SoLicrroas.—Messrs. llughes, rearsey, and Masterman, London. BROKERS.—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite. The Bank of India is established for the purpose of carrying on the general business of banking and exchange in India, China, the Mauritius, Ceylon, Singapore, and other eastern possessions of the British empire ; for receiving deposits and making remittances ; for granting cash credits and making advances upon approved securi • ties ; for issuing circular notes payable in Europe, Egypt, the prin cipal stations on the Overland routes to India, and at the different establishments of the bank ; for granting local drafts and credits ; And for all other legitmate banking business. The large capital of the Bank of India will render it a safe medium of deposits and investment for the Indian community, whilst the sources of profit to be derived from the extended operations of the bank, by means of its different agencies, and the high rate of in terest obtainable in India, will ensure a large and p•ofltable return upon the capital invested, and will, it is confidently expected, justify the allowance of a moderate rate of interest to the depositors. The great success which has attended the operations of the exist ing banking establishments in this country, connected with the East Indies, and of the well-conducted 1 cal banks in the different Pre sidenciec, and the encouragement given to the employment of capital in similar undertakings by the extension of co mmerce and railways, has led to the formation of the Bank of India. The extension of banking facilities necessary t o meet the growing requirements of the mercantile community and of the large civil and military establishments of India, and the development of the sources of wealth of that country which mast arise from its improved internal communication by the railways projected and now in progress there, will open an extensive and profitable field for the operations of the -Bank at its different branches. The objections which were formerly entertained to the manage ment in England of banking establishments connected with countries so distant as India have been removed, by the rapid means of inter course now existing between these two countries. The certainty and rap idity of this communication w ill h e f ur th er increased by the new lines o railw b a y y th n e o savgienn agency y ro o gr f etshseoenletchtericonti nentand of Europe and i n Egypt, sub- mar i n e teleg ra phs about to be established by powerful companies already in operation. Arrangements are in progress to secure to this Company the co seeemopeeorfattihoensloafrgst native merchants of operati w on hic an li d ,, s l u ll e e p x o t r e t nd of tl India, the Bank amongst that class of the Indian community. Application will be made to her Majesty's Government and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the lia bility of the Shireholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2 , 000 , 0001 . sterling, in which event the new shares will, in the first instance, be offered for distribution amengst the existing Shareholders, and such other parties as, from their local connexions and other circumstances, may be considered likely to extend the business of the Bank. The arrangements for the constitution of this Company are now Dearly completed, and full prospectuses, with the names of the Board of Directors, will be pablished in a few days.

VINEGAR. —In consequence of the publication in the " Lancet" of 28th ultimo of a Series of Analyses of this Article, in which the Vinegar made by us is reported to contain Sulphuric Acid, we have addressed to the edi for of that periodical the following letter, and hope from his sense of justice the adoption of the only honourable alternative—an acceptance of the challenge we have given, or an unhesitating withdrawal of the calumnious im plication, Worcester, September 9, 185'2. HILL, EVANS, and CO. TO THE EDITOR OF THE LANCET. Worcester, September 8, 1852. Sir,—Otir attention has been called to an article in the " Lancet" of the 28th of August last, on " Vinegar and its Adulterations." You therein describe the samples of Vinegar, which you state to have been furnished to you by retail dealers as our Vinegar, as con taining a considerable quantity of sulphuric acid. You also state that the samples were not procured direct from the makers, because of the difficulty experienced in obtaining them by parties not engaged in the trade. You will remember that, by a letter dated the 3d day of January last we offered for your inspection several bottles of our Vinegar, and forwarded them to you through your publisher, Mr. Churchill, with a note from Sir Charles Hastings, M.D., of Worcester, vouching for our veracity. We have also an authorised agent in London, Mr. Waters, of 15, Whitecross-street ; we are, therefore, surprised at your statement that any difficulty existed in procuring samples, as far as our firm were concerned. We reiterate positively our assertion in our letter of the 33 of January, that no sulphuric acid is employed in our manufacture, and we therefore assert that the results of the analysis published in your columns are mistaken, or that the Vinegar subjected to your test was not the product of our manufactory. We are willing to have samples of our Vinegar subjected to the severest analysis by any two eminent chemists, the one to be named by Yourself and the other by ourselves---the mode of procuring the samples to be decided by the gentlemen appointed ; or we will submit our Vinegar to any one of the undermentioned gentlemen : Dr. Lyon Playfair, Dr. Graham, or Dr. Hoffman. we propose that the expenses of the investigation should be paid by ours ,,,c,el,,vest"tprved it should be f oun d that there is any free e.lphuric .LI ...ther lipm rc.nits ain wort ; p and that they should be from the ferMentat ed ion it o b f e o f ilZi' Paid by yon, prOvid t d that th ere b e no such free sulphuric " -- ....a from the fermentation as be acid, or other acid than that d fore described. In the latter case _ we should expect a notice of the result to be Published in the "La ncet," as our Sole obj ect is to be vindicated from t prejudice as to any ulterior proceed. an unjust aspersion. f ospt, provided our offer be n We write this letter with= not com• inns which we may think fit to plied with.

Il lustrated by 50 coloured Ensrravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease. By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., W. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short , every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of Immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these vases. - _ Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

We trust this may not be the last, if he shall ?elect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his , over to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare , he scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object han to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma orrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. -" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate orice at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

The machinery of the Sans Pxeil, 81, screw-ship, Captain Dacres, has arrived it Devonport, and the engineers are busy putting it in place. Mr. Dinnen, the inspector of steam machinery afloat, is there, hastening its progress. There may be a hope now that the ship will soon fled her way outside the Breakwater. A carpenter's mate, named Hugo, belonging to the St. George, 120, whilst working on boixd the Vigo hulk, in Hamoaze, accidentally fell overboard and Was drowned. His body has not yet been found. The poor man was the main support of an aged mother. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—Rear-Adthal of the Red H.

Wind westerly, strong breeze. The steam troopship Megeera will call at this port for artillery mPri, on her passage to the West Indies. At half-past eleven on Tuesday night, to the east ward of the Eddystone, two Government steamers were observed going down Channel under steam only. The lesser, a two-masted vessel, was ahead showing lights, with which she was signalling her consort, a large three-masted ship. The merchant barque Tartar, Captain Rotings, be longing to Messrs. Kerswill, of this port, has recently made a passage from the Cape of Good Hope to the Mauritias in 13 days. She left on the sth and arrived on the 18th of July, supposed to be the quickest pas sage ever made. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 30.—TheAgamemnon,90, screw steam-ship, Captain Sir T.

GALES ON THE NORTHUMBERLAND COAST.—CUL LERCOATS, WEDNESDAY.—A very heavy gale of wind has prevailed on this coast during the last two days. It has blown from the north-east, with heavy falls of rain. Yes terday morning thirty fishing-boats were about nine miles from the coast when the gale came on, and immediately put in towards the shore. When about a mile of the haven a fearful sea was breaking on the shore, and it was at great peril those well in advance landed. Four boats, however on arriving off the bar, found it impossible to get in, and in all probability the crews would have met a watery grave but for the presence of the new lifeboat just stationed at Cullercoats by the National Society for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, which was manned by fourteen of the fishermen and pilots, who, anxiously watched by a large concourse of people, gallantly rescued their comrades from their impend ing fate. On the same afternoon the Emporium, a vessel from America, got on shore to the south of Blyth. The Blyth lifeboat was run along the sands with horses, and the crew and passengers, including three women, were rescued. Some Tyne pilots were able to run their cables on shore and south of Manhaven before the gale got to its worst. There are some vessels on the coast, and fears are entertained for their safety. The Lightning war-steamer, which left the Tyne on a surveying expedition to the Doggerbank, is ex pected to have reached the Humber. There is no appearance of the gale abating. DEATH OF JAMES FILLANS, ESQ., SCULPTOR.-- We regret to announce in our obituary of to-day the death of this eminent and talented gentleman, whose demise has been almost as sudden as it was unexpected. He bad for some time past been afflicted with rheumatism, and for the last week or two had been labouring under an attack of the disease. About a week ,ago it assumed the form of fever, and he was obliged to remain confined to his r oom. No thing serious, however, was apprehended, either by his family or his medical attendant till Sunday night, when the fever - took a turn for the worse , an d he continued sinking till Monday morning, when death terminated a life full of bril liant promise. We are certain we speak not only our own feelings, but those of a large cir cle of private friends in this neighbourhood, when we express the deep regret we feel at the unexpected loss of one whose warmth of heart and many social virtues endeared him to all with whom he came in contacte—Glasgow Chronicle. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING of the OXFORD and BIRMINGUAk Yesterday was the day appointed by the directors of the Great Western Railway for celebrating the completion and intended opening of the Oxford and Birmingham Railway. The portion of the line yesterday opened for traffic was that between Banbury and Birmingham, a dis tance of 42 miles. That part of it which lies between Banbury and Fenny Compton was constructed under the powers granted to make a line from Oxford to Rugby, the portion from Fenny Compton to Rugby having been abandoned by the Great Western Rail way Company. The line from Birmingham to join the projected Oxford and Rugby at Feuny Compton was projected by the Grand Junction Railway Com pany, who were then anxious to obtain an independent entrance for themselves into London. In consequence of the amalgamation between the Grand Junction and! the London and Birmingham Companies the projected line was abandoned by the former company, and sub sequently taken up warmly by friends of the Great Western Railway. The various contest , , legal and par liamentary, which have taken place between the Great Western and London and North-Western Railways have made this line notorious in connexion with " the battle of the gauges." At length, however, the sane- tion of the Legislature was obtained for the forma tion of the line, and after an expenditure of money and an amount of annoyance and harassing unparal leled even in the history of railway litigation, the line has at length been completed on the mixed gauge, the Legislature having decided that the narrow as well as the broad gauge should be laid down upon it. In order to celebrate the opening of this important com munication with the metropolis and the manufactur- ing districts by means of the broad gauge, a large number of persons, a fair proportion of whom were ladies, were invited from London, Oxford, and Bir mingham, to proceed in a special train along the newly completed line. The arrangements were that a train should leave London at nine o'clock in the morning, calling at Oxford at 10.15. for Birmingham, whence it would return to Warwick and Leamington at half-past two in the afternoon. A collision—fortu nately, however, not attended with fatal consequences —prevented a strict adherence to the proposed ar rangements, and threw a considerable damp over the anticipated pleasures of the auspicious occasion. A train of ten carriages, in one of which was the band of the Ist Life Guards, left the station at Paddington with the splendid engine " The Lord of the Isles," which, as a noble specimen of English workmanship, was so greatly admired at the late Great Exhibition, and which was now gaily decorated with garlands of flowers, the Union Jack, and a number of flags and streamers. The train dashed on in gallant style, the band played lustily and well, and Oxford, with its fine old towers, its halls and its colleges, was reached at ten minutes to eleven. A halt of a few minutes, and at eleven the train was again under way, and all went on as well as before till it arrived at the small station of Aynoe, sixteen miles from Oxford. On arriving within a short distance of the station, and while going at about fifty miles an hour, the con tinued whistle of the engine and the sudden applica tion of the breaks produced a momentary feeling of uneasiness among the passengers, and this was imtne. diately followed by two or three slight concussions, which confirmed the fears already entertained. Ou alighting from the carriage the first evidence which we saw of an accident having occurred was the total displacement of the stone facing and coping of the platform of the station, and the engine lying off the rails in a shattered and helpless condition. The buffers were broken off, the gearing irons were lying beside the vast machine, its front wheels were knocked from their frames ; and under the ponderous mass and behind the driving-wheels were the axle and a pair of wheels, in a position in which it appeared they could only have been placed by the engine actually mounting above the axle, and running for some yards on the top of the wheels. A few yards in front of the engine were two luggage vans, the hinder one lying upon the foremost, four of its wheels knocked off, the hinder part of the van smashed in, the sides bulging considerably over the rails on each side, while the sacks of wheat which it contained, as well as casks of vinegar, were pouring their contents upon the ground. Beyond these two vans, at a distance of a few yards, stood another, the massive framing and buffers of which were splintered in the most extra- olairway ut,, fit. n rTic!ance of about forty or fifty yards, were another engine and two carriages, the hinder part of the latter of which was smashed, and the partitions split. Some two or three dozen persons had already jumped out of the carriages, several were lying on the ground, and some who were still inside were unable or unwilling to move ; but the look of terror which pervaded all, and the contused and bleeding faces, told but too plainly the fact that a passenger train had been run into by the special train. Fortunately, none of the persons appeared to be seriously hurt; those who bad received the greatest amount of injury had their wounds dressed at the station, while the others were forwarded on by the train to Banbury. On returning back to the station and making in quiries as to the cause of the accident, it appeared that the train which had been run into was the 7.40 down train from London to Banbury, and which was due at Aynoe at 10.40. The passenger train did not arrive at Oxford till about half-past ten, when, ex pecting the special train, which did not arrive till 11 20—it waited a considerable time in the siding to allow it to pass. Not having made its appearance, the train left the station twenty-three minutes before the special train, having a distance of twenty-three miles to run in order to reach Banbury. While the passenger train was waiting at Aynoe, collecting the tickets for Banbury, the special train came in sight, and the p a ssengers having hastily taken their seats the engine-driver at once put on all hi s s t eam i n or d e r t o carry the train further down the line to save a collision. On starting, however, the coupling-chain which con nected the luggage vans with the passenger carriages broke. At this instant the engine of the special train ran into the hindmost luggage van, forced it and two others preceding it along the line, till they came into contact with the passenger carriages. The severe blow struck by the engine against the weighty lug gage vans, threw it off the line, and, after ploughing up the ground for some dozen yards, breaking off the switches, and tearing up the transoms, came into con tact with the masonry of the platform, and was finally brought to a stand still. Every attempt was made by Messrs. Brunel and Gooch, together with the engine driver, to bring up the train, in order to avoid colli sion, but owing to the short distance it was impossible to do so. The signal at the station, in consequence of its being at the extremity of a very sharp curve, cannot be seen for a greater distance than four hun dred yards, and from the moment that the caution was seen, notwithstanding all the breaks were applied, and the steam reversed, it was found impossible with the train going at the rate of fifty miles an hour to bring it up. The debris and wreck caused by the collision were moat extraordinary, and but one feeling of won der and astonishment was manifested that no severe personal injury had been sustained. With the excep tion of one or two who were slightly shaken, no per son received any injuries in the special train. Mr. Brunel proceeded on by the passenger train to Banbury, and shortly after returned with the engine, with which the line having been cleared, and the carriages transferred to the up-line, the special train proceeded on to Leamington. It was not considered advisable to proceed to Birmingham, and a message was sent requesting those who were to have joined the party at Birmingham to come on by train to Leamington, instead of, as originally intended, by the special train. By the new route from London to Birmingham the distance will be 128 k miles, that by the London and North-Western being 112. The following are the names of the various stations upon the new portion of the line beyond Banbury, with their distances from London :—Cropredy, 89i ; Fenny Compton, 9 4 . Harbury, ; Leamington, 1051 ; Warwick, 10,7:4- Hatton, 111:k ; Knowle, 1184 ; Solihull , 1221 ; Litre mingham, 1281. The country through which the line passes as it nears Birmingham is very inte resting, while the works upon the line are many of them exceedingly heavy. One of the heaviest cuttings,o cubic probab y ly ar i d n s England is one at Harbury-3,0 of marl and limestone were removed ; the cutting is at the deepest point 110 feet in depth, and its breadth at the top 14 0 yar ds, the slo p e being 1 in 1. Be yond this is an em bankment of four miles in length, and 23 feet in height, formed from the spoil, and not less than 40 acres are covered to a height of 20 feet by the remaining unused portion of the soil. At Whitmarsh there is a cutting in red marl, from which 350,000 cubic yards of earth were removed. The railway runs for a considerable distance side by side with the narrow gauge lines, and crosses, in almost immediate contact with the Rugby and Leamington, the High -street at Leamington by means of an iron bridge of 150 feet span. At Myton the line passes under the Oxford and Birmingham Canal, the water being carried over by an aqueduct, in the construction of which a large amount of labour and engineering skill is evident. The Avon is crossed by a bridge of 100 feet ; and a short distance beyond is an extensive viaduct of thirty arches of twenty-five feet span. The road at Warwick and the canal are crossed by means of iron girder bridges. At Hatton there is an embankment of three miles in length and twenty-five feet in height, rind a somewhat deep cutting, from which 500,000 cubic yards were removed. At Fin wood there is also a deep cutting, and the canal at Shelford is crossed by a bridge of sixty feet in length. There is also an extensive embankment at Blythbrook of one mil e in length and forty feet in height, and at HaYeoCk e m, green there is another of a mile in length, and 48 feet in height, followed by a 30 feet cutting of consider.. able length. The railway passes under the Bristol I and Gloucester Rail wa y a t a part where it rans on an embankment 50 feet high, and the whole of the works connected with the required tunnel were completed without any stoppage of the ordinary traffic. An iron bridge 150 feet in length carries the railway over the Warwick Canal, and the Coventry-road is crossed by an arch of 60 feet span. A most remarkable proof of the energy displayed by Messrs. Peto and Betts, in the completion of the line, is shown by the fact that the whole of the works through Leamington and Warwick, at Myton, with not less than three miles of :viaducts and bridges, and the other works we have mentioned, between Fenny Compton and Birming ham, were completed in the incredibly short space of forty weeks. The average number of men employed was 5,000. The entire management of the works during their progress was confided by Messrs. Peto and Betts to Mr. Charles Watson. The line ap pears to be remarkably well constructed, and has, we believe, been highly approved by the Government in spector. . In the special train we notice& a. new composite carriage, constructed to carry 24 firat.olass. and .56 second-class passengers. Two first-class carriages, rani* t ogethe'., occupy the centre, and two second class carriages each extreme end. The length of the entire carriage is 39 feet, and its width 9 feet 9 inches; it is filled with papier mache panels. The 'under part, or framing of the carriage, is entirely of iron ; the wheels are placed in two sets at each end, having their centres five feet apart, the distance from the centres of the extreme wheels being 28 feet. Intelligence of the collision at Aynoe reached Bir mingham at one o'clock, and orders were received by electric telegraph to send the Sultan engine down the line to render any assistance that might be required. It so happened, however, that while going to take in water the engine ran off the rails, and got embedded in the soil ; and, notwithstanding all the exertions of the labourers, it could not be replaced on the rails for several hours. The services of the electric telegraph were again put in requisition, and ultimately the Amazon, with two first-class and several second-class carriages, left Birmingham at half-past four p.m., in order to convey that portion of the visitors which was to have come from Birmingham to Leamington accord ing to the original arrangement. Large numbers of per sons were assembled at the station at Snow-hill to witness the arrival of the first broad-gauge train into this hotly-disputed territory. The party from Bir mingham reached Leamington about half-past five, when they proceeded to the Regent's Hotel and joined the party from London. Amongst thsse present we observed—Lord and Lady Villiers, the Hon. Colonel Clive (chairman of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company), the Hon. S. Cotton, Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., Mr. J. W. Buller, the chairman, and Mr. Badham, the secretary of the Bristol and Exeter Company ; the Rev. Dr. Harington, principal of Brasenose College ; the Rev. Dr. Jeune, master of Pembroke College ; the Rev. Dr. and Miss Saunders ; Captain Bulkeley, Mr. Paull and Mr. Potter, directors of the Great Western Company, and Mr. C. A. Saunders, the secretary; Major and Mrs. Court, the Misses Bulkeley, Mr. Brunel, Mr. Seymour Clarke, and Mr. Mowatt, the general manager and secretary of the Great Northern Railway; Mr. Frederick Clarke, general superin tendent of the South Wales Railway, and Mrs. F. Clarke; Mr. F. Saunders, the secretary; and Mr. Martley, the assistant locomotive superintendent of the South Wales Railway; Mr. Rennet and Mr. Tredwell, the well-known contractors ; Mr. and Mrs. Norris, of Sutton Courtney; Mr. Parker, a director of the Great Northern line ; Mr. Bertram, C.E. ; Mr. Kershaw, the secretary of the Birmingham and Ox ford line ; Mr. Merewether, Mr. T. Martin ; Mr. Matthews, deputy-chairman of the South \Vales Railway, and many other gentlemen connected with various of our railways. Ample justice having been done to the dejeuner, Mr. SIMMONDS , one of the directors who presided in the absence of Mr. Russell, the chairmen, who was prevs,i.ted franc. atree.ei., 4s ‘..,-. ...e. attack of lumbago, proposed the usual loyal and national toasts, which were received with great enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Success to the Ox ford and Birmingham Railway." He stated that it would be open to the public to-morrow (this day). The line had been long looked for, but had arrived at last.—(Cheers.) The work had been nobly executed, and reflected the highest credit upon the engineer and all parties connected with it.—(Cheers.) The visi tors had seen the beauty and completeness of the line, and it was therefore unnecessary for him to detain them by any description of it. The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. The Hon. Mr. CLIVE next proposed " The Health of the Directors, and success to the broad gauge and the Great Western Railway." Since the year 1848 the Legislature had determined that there should be a broad gauge, and from that period to the present he had been constantly directing his at tention to the attainment of this desideratum, satisfied that sooner or later the intentions of the Legislature would be carried out.—(Cheers.) The day had at last come, and now he felt satisfied, happen what might, that there must be a broad gauge line direct from London (aid Oxford) to the Mersey.—(Cheers.) He was therefore exceedingly glad to find that they had now completed one important link in this much desired route. He was not for competition for low rates—he desired only competition for the public accommodation.—(Cheers.) Let them have competi tion in that sense, and then he had no hesitation in expressing his opinion, that they should be not only benefiting the proprietors themselves, but also satis fying the public, whom they were bound to serve. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks for the direc- .ore, also avowed himself as an opponent to ruinous competition ; but at the same time he stated that the Great Western Railway would never allow itself to be borne down by any railway in the United King dom,—(Cheers.) The toast of " Prosperity to the Birmingham and Shrewsbury, and the Shrewsbury and Chester Rail ways," next followed, and was acknowledged by the Hon. Mr. Clive and Mr. Roy, directors of the re spective lines. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Health of Mr. Brunel, the engineer in -chief," which was briefly re sponded to by that gentleman. He stated that what ever other qualities the directors might approve him for, they could not value him in his speech making qualities. As he could not make speeches he never attempted them, preferring rather to under take only such works as he knew he could accomplish well. The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Flealths of Messrs. Peto, M.P., Betts, Brassey, Treadwell,tt and the other contractors for making the l ine." Mr. PETO, M.P., in returning t h a nks, said th a t h e had not anticipated the honour which had been done him, nor the kindness of the reception which had been given to him and his friends, but felt deeply thankful for it. He could not personally for a moment claim the slightest merit with respect to any of the works upon the line. His labours in connexion with the works bad been light, indeed, owing to the perfectness of the designs, which could not be surpassed, and the v a l ua bl e ass i s t ance o f t h e engineer-in - c h ief. Re also desired to express his most cordial acknowledgments, and the obligation under which he and his partners lay, to the ad mirable and efficient conduct of the clergy and magistrates of the districts in which the works were carried on. Having been the employers of s,ooomen for upwards of three years, it must be manifest that, without their kind and valuable assistance, they could never have conducted them so as to ensure that per fect safety and security of property in the variou 9 districts in which they were employed. In conclusj°'; g he stated that it afforded him reat pleasure to n.nu that the works of the railway had given ot i s faction to the directors. Lord VILLIERS then proposed " The Saunders, the secretary of the Great Western way," which, in the absence of that gentlulun, was acknowledged by Captain Buckley , one a the directors. and the company re- Various other toasts followed , turned to the station, which they left about half-past seven, and arrived in London a few minutes after one o'clock. On passing the Aynoe station on our return we observed that the line vvas perfectly clear, and that the shattered ,g L o rd of the bles," with the dilapi dated luggage vans, occupied a place on the siding. It was also ascertained that no bones had been broken by the unfortunate occurrence of the morning, while those of the passengers who received injuries were going on well or rapidly recovering. ------- Lord John Russell, on Friday evening, slept in the Royal George Hotel, and next day left by the Dundee Railway for Rossie P r i or y, on a visit to Lord Kinnaird, where a distinguished party were invited to meet him. On Sunday Lord and Lady Kinnaird, with their noble guests. attended Divine worship at the parish church of Inchture. Lord John Russell returned to Perth on Monday, and left in the afternoon by the Central Railway for his Highland home) the (lad Call:laden—Perth Courier. -- [PRICE SD.

BALLOON ASCENT WITH THE DOUBLE TRAPEZE PERFORMANCES. Cremorne and its neighbourhood were the scene of much excitement last night an announcement having been made that those intrepid performers, the Italian brothers, would again surprise the visitors to these delightful gardens by a double trapeze ascent. By five o'clock the b.lloon-ground presented a most animated appearance ; and such was the anxiety dis played by the public to get a close inspection of the preparations, that the usual barriers were invaded not only by gentlemen but by ladies, who, on ordinary occasions are too timid to venture near a balloon, but on this occasion were wonderfully courageous, and pressed rather inconveniently upon the new Royal Cremorne. Owing to this in some respects, and in some measure to briskness of the wind, the balloon drifted to the trees, and the lower part of the trapeze caught firmly in the boughs, from which it might have taken some time and trouble to have extricated it, had not courage, coolness, and determination of no ordinary kind been displayed. The difficulty was felt, and overcome as soon as felt by the active and powerful gymnasts, who holding each firmly by one hand, tore away in a most surprising manner the resisting boughs with the other till a slight sway of the balloon enabled them to clear all obstacles, and proceed rapidly on their voyage to a round of cheers wt;iich their admirable conduct elicited. So little did the untoward stoppage affect them, that the instant they appeared clear of the trees they commenced and continued as long as they were in sight those wonderful twists and twirls for which in the Cirque they are so much admired. Before nine o'clock they put in a re-appearance at the gardens, having safely descended at Woolwich, and were most cordially and enthusiastically received. For this advanced period of the year the gardens may be said to have been crowded. BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH The new company, known by the name of the British Electric Telegraph Company, have nearly completed, and are about to open, a considerable length of wire uniting some of the mo s t important northern towns of the kingdom. Th is chain of towns includes Liverpool, Manchester , H alifax, Bradford, 'Wakefield, Barnsley, Leeds, Ha rro gate, and Stockton upon-Tees, with acme othe r of the the intermediate places. The people of Liverpool and Manchester were rather agreeably struck with the rapidity with which this company succeeded in laying down their wires stations and th e com p an y' s o ff i ces. There is no greater annoyance in large towns than t t h a t which Parliament has g ranted t o private compa nies of ripping up their pavements at all times and. rgi s i t w r r y es , to complete the c onnexion be tween i hon the p laces where it may be necessary for their in terests. The authorities of a town pave the streets at great expense, and then comes a gas company, and then a water company, and then a telegraph company, to open deep trenches in some of the leading thoroughfares, interrupting the traffic and creating great inconvenience. We have seen these trenches open in some cases six or eight days; but in the present instances we are glad to perceive that a great improvement has been intro duced. Mr. Charles Bright, the manager of the British Electric Telegraph Compaq , we were in formed, bad the merit of inventing a new mode of laying down wires in the streets, which goes far to remove the objections we have nave pointed out. The method adopted by the old company has been to lay down a line of round cast metal pipes through which the insulated wires are passed. This is necessarily a long and tedious op e ration, because considerable time is occupied , as each . length of pipe is laid down, in passing t h e i wires through it ; b u t Mr. Charles Bright 's pla n ' to wie pipes split longitudinally into two halves' The under halves of the pipes are laid down in_th e trench, an d th en a l arge d rum , on w hi c h the insulated wires are wrapped, is rolled along ov er the trench, and the wire is paid off easily a nd rapidly into its I p ace—the upper parts of the pipes being put on afterwards, and secured in their places by means of screws through flanges left out side for the purpose. So well has this mode suc ceeded, that in Liverpool the whole lengths of the streets, from Tithebarn Railway station to the British Telegraph Company's offices, in Exchange-street East, were laid down in a single night (11 hours), end in Manchester, the line of streets from the Salford Railway station to Ducie-street, Exchange, in twenty two hours. This was the whole time occupied in opening the trenches, laying down the telegraph wires, and relaying the pavement ; and while great credit is due to the company, on the ground of the little public inconvenience occasioned, no doubt they would find the benefit of it in e conomy of time and money. The company, it is expected, will be in a condition to open business now in about three weeks, having only to complete a short link between Wake field and Leeds to make the line complete from Liver pool as far as Stockton. T:le Magnetic Telegraph Company have their line at work hetween Man chester and Liverpool, and are said to be making pro gress with their extension towards the metropolis.—.. Morning Paper.
