IRISH RAILWAYS. (From the Railway Times.) The Irish contest of last week between the two Western Railway C ompan i es, may be compared to the Battle of the Gauges o f l ast sess i on, as upon no s u bject connected with railways at p resent was the same degree of interest excited in the si s t er ki ng d om. On the one hand, the Great Southern and Western Company were actively promoting the well known Dublin and Galway scheme, and had actually under taken to subsc r ib e 100,000/. for this purpose, while on the other hand the Midland Great Western Company were pro moting the construction of a railway from Mullingar to Galway, which while it would afford a more direct commu nication, professed to accomplish. the object by the construc tion of some eighteen miles lesspf railway. By the decision of the Committee, the competing Com panies have been permitted to. connect Athlone with Dublin by two different routes, while the Dublin and Galway Com pany have got the extension from Athlone to the latter town. Now, with every respect for the honourable tribunal by whom the subject was investigated, we are at a loss to divine the reasons for their decision, for, if the witnesses produced by the competing Companies agreed upon any one subject in particular, it was on this, namely :._Th a t it would be absurd to sanction two lines to Athlone, as the traffic of the country would never justify an expenditure sufficient for their con struction. In the teeth Of 'such evidence, coming from such public men as General Sir John Burgoyne, Messrs. Griffith and Mtilvany, as Well as Sir John Macneill, the Committee have arrived at a deciSion Which may be productive of serious mischief to the inhabitants of Galway, who, after all, are the parties most interested, and have heretofore taken the most active measures to bring before the public and Parliament the claims of their locality for railway communi cation with the metropolis. Having been in the committee room when the decision was announced, we are enabled to state from conversation's which we had then, and suhse quently, with spine of the - most activepromoters of the' com peting lines, that the Mullingar Company (as they are called) will probably make their railway ;to Athlone, which they can accomplish by, some twenty-three or twenty four.miles, while iha-Dablin and Galway Company, having to construct nearly thirty-eight miles for a similar purpose, will be slow to incur the necessary expenditure ; the more particularly because, when made, the competition of the grand canal for merchandise, and the Mullingar Railway for passengers, would leave but a comparatively trifling re venue upon which to depend fora dividend. We have therefore no difficulty in expressing our convic tion, which we do with the greater certainty, because we have the evidence of such practical men as those to whom we have referred, that it would be a cruel and unnecessary waste of the money of the shareholders to attempt to con struct a railway from Portarlington to. Athlone, and it would be:also unfair to the people. of Connaught that 'Athlone should have two communications with Dublin, while, in consequence of the bickerings of two boards of railway direc tors, their chances of a railway to Galway would be seriously prejudiced. The present is not the time for wild and reck less expenditure. The condition of the money market—the great depreciation which has taken place in the value of railway securities, and the prevailing apprehension that many sound projects will be brought to a stand-still, from the general pressure of calls upon shareholders—all those causes should produce their due effect upon prudent and honourable men, and induce them not to involve their pro prietary in expense which, while it is not likely to be pro ductive, may have a very damaging effect up on some soun d undertakings in the sister country. We are not now broach ing new opinions; we can refer to the pages of this journal for the full confirmation of the sentiments which we now express, and more particularly instance the cases of the Dun dalk and Enniskillen and Newry Companies, respecting which we gave warnings which were unheeded, and which unfortunately are already in a fair way of being verified. It is idle to suppose that Irish railways will produce (at least for some years to come) the amount of revenue which their projectors anticipate, and it should become the un doubted duty of those parties who are intrusted with their construction to take care that the works .shall be made cheaply, yet substantially, such as when made will be likely to afford a fair return to the shareholders. It will not do to permit engineers and architects to lavish money on splendid viaducts and costly stations, with a view of gratifying their ambitious aspirations. If such things are permitted, we do not expect that one-third of the .schemes which have received the sanction of Parliament will be completed for the next twenty years. PUBLICATIONS.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti mated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits. ANNUAL PREMIUM TO ASSURE £lOO. One half of the " Whole Term" Premium may remain on credit for seven years, or ono-third of the Premium may remain for life as a debt upon the policy at 5 per cent., or may be paid off at any time without notice.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING FEMALE EDUCATION IN THE EksT.—On Monday evening the annual general meeting of the supporters of the North London Auxiliary to the above association, formed for the purpose of improving the character of the native females in British India, and other parts of the East, was held at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square; John Labouckere, Esq., in the chair. A large number of the neighb ourin g clergy and gentry were on the platform, including the Hon. and Rev. B. W. Noel, the Rev. W. Cadmon, the Rev. Dr. Cumming, and the Rev. R. Cotton Mather. The Chairman, after addressing the meeting, an nounced that the Society had just received from a donor, under the signature of " A Steward of Christ," the munificent sum of 1001. From the report read by the seeretary, it appeardd that the whole amount raised by the Society since its formation in 1834 was 17,1581. It had trained up and sent forth 54 teachers, bestowedhelp on schools already established to the amount of 4,2681., and at the present time had 24 agents in the field, having under their instruction upwards of 1,400 children. Accounts received from the scene of the Society's operations in India and elsewhere, stated that the native females themselves manifested a great desire for instruction ; that long standing prejudices had been broken through, and that the schools, wherever established, were exceedingly well attended. The re ceipts of the auxiliary during the past year amounted to 1901. The report having been adopted, and the claims of the Society advocated by several gentlemen, lay and clerical, the meeting separated.

PRICE SD. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL VOTES OF THE THANKS AND THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE COMMANDERS IN INDIA, &c; On Monday a special Court was held for the purpose of voting the thanks and congratulations of the Court, with the freedom of the City, in gold boxes of the value of 100 guineas, to the Lieutenant -General the Right Hon. Sir Henry Hardinge, Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Governor- General of India ; to General Sir Hugh Gough, Bart., Knight Grand Cross of the Bath, Commander-in-Chief of the forces in India ; and to Major-General Sir Henry George Smith, Knight Commander of the Bath, the recent valour, judent, and ability displayed by them in the recent battles of Ali*al and Sobraon, on the 28th of January and the 10th of February last. Also the thanks of the Court to the other officers, European and Native, for the intrepidity, persever ance, and discipline evinced by them upon both of those me morable occasions. There was likewise notice of a motion attached to the business paper by Sir Peter Laurie, to the effect that the tithe Pollock,ou Grt.,C. iii common freedom o f t h e City be presented to Major-General Sir G a e in o e rg d e b o t ft r h f e el e l s o t l e v e - m cit e iz n e t n er s; co hi tes mmo t n im w o i n th y hei of the distinguished military services rendered by him in Affghanistan, and of his indefatigable zeal and energy throughout that campaign. The cause of the delay in voting the arose 11 -merited acknow ledgment to Sir G eorge Pollockwel l -merited the general sup position in former Courts that the honours could not be paid except in the presence o f th e i ndividuals for whom they were intended. Upon the pr esen t oecasion the mistake was cor rected. Mr. R. L. JONES said, in rising to move the first resolu tion which related to the Governer-General of India alone, for it was considered more respectful and complimentary to give a distinct and separate acknowledgment to each of the illustrious individuals whose services had done such honour to their country, he felt no small degree of gratification. He laboured under no doubt as to the sentiments of the Court upon the subject. He knew the resolution he had to pro pose would be received not only unanimously, but with ac,cla • mations.—(Hear, hear.) It would be presumptuous in him to go to any length in expressing his opinion of the gal lantry, energy, and skill of those who achieved such extra• ordinary victories under circumstances of a nature which called forth the astonishment of their countrymen, familiar as Englishmen were with all the praises and enjoyment of triumph.—(Cheers.) He should merely refer to the elo quent dispatches of Sir Henry Hardinge, which it would be a libel upon the Court to say that any member was un acquainted with, to exhibit the spirit of description best adapted to depict the combination of judgment, gal lantry, humanity, and perseverance which made the scene of war so remarkable. The whole course of the military , proceeding was calculated to exalt the character of our coun trymen as well as that of the native troops engaged, and after the glorious victory, the result of those magnificent ex ertions, the mildness of the conditions, and the Christian feel ing by which the operations of the commanders were distin guished, even against those whose conduct had been aggres sive in the extreme, increased the glory which had been pur chased by such a sacrifice of human life.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jones concluded by moving that the freedom, &c., be pre sented to the Governor-General of India. Mr. Durost seconded the motion. The vote was carried unanimously, and amidst accla mations. Mr. HARRISON rose to move the vote to Sir Hugh Gough. It was, he said, impossible for any one possessed of the heart of an Englishman not to feel delighted at the course pursued in India by our Government. He held in his hands the vote to a General of very great distinction, and he felt that he was wholly unable to do justice to the occasion. The result of the victories which they were celebrating would be felt in the establishment of civilisation, of commerce, and of peace, and the natives would have cause to rejoice in the protection afforded to them by the valour of the British arms.—(Cheers.) Mr. R. TAYLOR heartily agreed in the resolution. The resolution was carried unanimously, and amidst cheers. Mr. ANDERTON moved the vote to Sir henry George Smith. He felt the greater pride and gratification in submitting the resolution, as he knew the gallant General when a boy, and not a member of the army. He thought that after a lapse of forty years, Sir Henry Smith would not be sorry to hear that he had proposed, in Guildhall, the freedom of the City for eminent services rendered in India.—(Cheers.) The victories in India would not only have the effect of establish ing peace in that extensive territory, but would serve as a lesson to America, likely to convince that people that it was dangerous to provoke England by acts of aggression and tyranny.—(Cheers.) Mr. Josix WooD seconded the vote. Dr. LYNCH said, that the man must be cold indeed who could hear unmoved the glorious deeds of the British army, or not join with all his hea r t i n p ay i ng h omage to the daunt•• less valour and cool intrepidity of the men, and to the judg ment and ability of the G enera l s , w h o h ad exalted the military character of their country to the highest point of renown.—(Cheers.) Mr. LAWRENCE admitted that war was full of horrors, but the war in which these illustrious men had served their country was the surest and the speediest means of establish ing peace, and every one knew that the more quickly san guinary contests were ended the better.—(Cheers.) The moderation with which the signal triumphs gained were acted upon showed that the continuance of the extermi nating process was not the object of the commanders of the troops against the perfidious aggressors. He could tea a period wh en war wou ld not suit the refined c^-.. from that me i rk t • Air. WIRE agreed that moral victories preferred to those which were to be gained by the effasion kir blood ; but he denied that the victories which England ob tained were without fruit—witness the twenty-five years of peace which had resulted from one great battle.—(Cheers.) The vote was carried unanimously, and amidst cheers. Mr. J. WOOD moved the vote of thanks to the officers and men, and dr. Bowan seconded the motion, and took the opportunity of stating that the Court could not think of deviating upon the present occasion from their usual practice of inclosing the freedom in a gold box. The motion was carried unanimously, and amidst cheers. Sir PEIFER LAttrux then rose to move "That similar ho nour to that paid to the other distinguished commanders should be given to Sir George • Pollock, whose absence from England had prevented the Court from voting to the gal lant commander the freedom of the City." Sir Peter Laurie spoke in terms of the highest praise of Sir George Pollock, who was a relative of the distinguished Chief Baron Sir Fred. Pollock. Mr. OBBARD, who has two sons serving in the army in India, seconded the motion amidst cheers, and Sir PETER LAURIE hoped that he should one day move votes of thanks to the sons of his old friend, if ever there should be a revival of the horrors of war. The motion was carried unanimously, and amidst loud cheers. GENERAL • THEATRICAL FUND ASSOCIATION. The first anniversary festival of this most excellent and beeevolent association w as h e ld on Monday in the London Tavern. , There was a large assemblage of the nobility gentry, and literary men of the day present. Charles Dickens, Esq., in the chair. After an excellent di nner served in the beat style, the usual loyal and national toasts were drunk with their accus tomed honours. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said,—Gentlemen, in offer ing to you a toast, which has not as yet been publicly drunk in any company, it becomes incumbent on me to offer a few words in explanation. In the first place, premising that the toast will be " The General Theatrical Fund."—(Hear, hear.) The association, whose anniversary , we celebrate to-night, was founded seven years ago, for the purpose of granting permanent pensions to such of the carps cLamatique as had retired from the stage, either from a decline in their years or a decay of their powers.—(Hear.) Collected within the rays of the benevolence of this society are all actors or actresses, singers or dancers, of five y ears standing in the profession, To relieve their necessitie s and to protect them from want is the great end of this Society, and it is good to know that for seven years the members of it have steadily, patiently, qui etly, and perseveringly pursued this end, advancing, by re gular contribution, moneys Which many of them could ill afford—(Cheers)—and cheered by no external assistance of any kind whatsoever. They have served a long and dreary apprenticeship, but I trust that we will establish to-night that the indentures are out, and that henceforth the Fund will enter upon a flourishing and brilliant career. I have no doubt that you are all aware that there are, and were when this institution was founded, two other institutions ex isting of a similar nature—Covent-garden and Drury-lane — both of long standing, both richly endowed.—(Cheers). It could not, however, be too distinctly understood, that the present institution was not in any way adverse to those; how could it be, when it wits only a wide and broad extension of all that was most excellent in the principles on which they were foimded.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) That such an extension was absolutely necessary was sufficiently proved by the fact that the great body of the dramatic corps were excluded from the benefits conferred by a membership of either of these institutions; for it was essential, in order to become a member of the Drury-lane bSociety, that the applicant, either he or she, should have een engag,ed for three consecutive seasons as a performer. really wassiilyis leasafexrevriusaridss.sreednuecevid.syto sasptebrieodetobfert,wfoeryearili,eedbuntoitt tell you that Covent-garden and Drury-lane are only visions of the past.—(Loud cheering.) In fact, you might play the bottle conjurer with the dramatic pa , ny of the former.— (Laughter.) . The human voice is rarely heard within its walls save in connexion with the Anti-Corn-law L li the amble- dextrous prestige of th e Wi zard of the Nortei or (Great laughter and cheering.) Drury-lane is conducted now with almost a sole view to the o p era and ballet, insomuch that the statue of Shakspeare door serves as emphatically to point ou over the t his gr as his bust did in the church of Stratford-upon-Avon. ave (Laughter and cheering.) How could the profession gene rally hope to qualify for the Drury-lane or Covent-garden institution, when the oldest and most distinguished members had been driven from the boards on which they had earned their reputations—to delight the town in theatres to which the General Theatrical Fund alone extended ?—(Hear, hear.) I will again repeat, that I attach no reproach to those other funds with which I have had the honour of being connected at differeet periods of my life. At the time those associations were established, an engagement at one of those theatres was almost a matter of course, and a successful engagement would last a whole life; but an engagement of three months' duration at Covent-garden would be indeed a novelty at pre sent. It should never be forgotten, that when those two funds were established the two great theatres were protected by pa tent, and that at that time the minor theatres were condemned by law to the representation of the most preposterous nonsense, and i some gentlemen whom I see around me could no mere belong to the minor theatres of that day than they could now belong to St. Bar tholetnew's fair.—(Hear, hear.) As I honour the two - old funds for the great good which they have done, so I honour this for the much greater good it is resolved to do.—(Cheers.) It is not because I love them less, but because I love this more —(Laughter)—because it includes more in its opera tion.esduosbensnotstitaewLl oeidnt part s u es themee fvguerterehbaer great theatrical r e eni m aze tee b r isd e ,c r ea flb t husaJat,ts retiringtwt e h mh o r , e ued n n o dbny c ea l v a sce s sortnt those q f sl eseu acts eswn o bae r neo debt an bear w a b p i a e r b t i w n e c e o u n g t b ri t toutingp ay. to T o t bu i er bedsple as ofesse—t wrseaorewne o t t h t e h na o s a e of roses, they are composed of very artificial flowers indeed. Their lives are hard, and their struggles bitter. The poor actor who nightly gives away large fortunes on the boards, does it on fifteen shillings a week. His deep draughts of wine smell sadly of cold water—be leaves the princely ban quet with an aching appetite.—(Hear, hear.) And if it be true that the more immense and wonderful this universe is shown to be, the more important man becomes in the scale of creation; so it is no less true, I apprehend, that the greater the instruction and delight we derive from the rich English drama, the more we are bound to succour and pro tect the humblest of those votaries of the art, who add to our instruction and amusement. It must be admitted that there is no class of society whom so many people regard with affection as actors.—(Hear, hear.) We greet them on the stage —we like to meet ;them in the streets. They almost always recal to us pleasant associations. Well, then, when they have strutted and fretted their hour upon the stage let them not be heard no more—(Hear, hear)—but let them be heard sometimes to say that they are happy in their old age.—(Hear, hear.) When they have passed for the last time from behind that glittering row of light, with which we are all familiar, let them not pass away into gloom and dark ness,—but let them pass into cheerfulness and light, into a contented and happy home. This is the object for which we have met; and I am too familiar with the EroXi-t.othe sud not to know that it will be effects' cafe-worn features of a denly in a crowded street s nke the ghost of pleasant hours familiar fac , e,—croasiniot recal those features with pain, in long forgetiarke of what they once were, but let us in joy Peogniee it, and go back a pace or two to meet it once again, as that of a friend who has beguiled us of a moment of who has taught us to sympathise with virt=sl,ltif fi know how pleasant are such tears. , care, us to tears for se (Lonniaale,red as here, whether - al let such a face be j in comin g • lwAfrom which I had had ever been in any ha ‘ t t2 o .. f .. our bene f actor . and our friend.— not brought away some pleasant association, however poor the theatre, and I protest, out of my varied experience, I could not remember even one from which I had not brou4nt away some favourable impression, and that commencing with the period when I believed the clown was a being born to the world, with infinite pockets, and ending with that in which I saw ships completely rigged, carrying men, and careering over boundless and tempestuous oceans.— (Cries of "Hear, hear.") And now, bespeaking you kindest remembrance of our theatres and actors, I beg to propose that you drink as heartily and freely as ever a toast was drunk in this toast-drinking city—(Hear,hear)—" Pros perity to the General Theatrical Fund."—(Loud cheers.) Three times three and one cheer more. Mr. F. BERKELEY proposed the health of the Chairman, which was briefly responded to. Mr. CIILLENFORD read the reports of the Society. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Mr. Webster and the national drama. DOUGLAS JERROLD, Esq., responded to the toast, an having returned thanks for Mr. Webster, who he said was most anxious to forward the drama, he took occasion to allude to the Chairman's speech, in which it was hinted that it was on the decline, but he considered that the drama itw geneabsandobteena g yet—(Hear, time (lle playingarh)7 heits death considered was that ajok if joke which would go back and retrace former years attentively they would find that it had not declined at all. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of the treasurer, Mr. Buckstone, with whom were connected some of the most pleasant and delightful reminiscences of the stage. The security of the concern, however, had not been at all im paired by his having been seen in certain public places, con stantly asking for the loan of five shillings.—(Laughter.) Mr. BUCKSTONE returned thanks, their worthy chairman was well and pleasantly known by actors. They had studied the glorious gallery of pictures which he had painted, not alone for them but for posterity he could see around him many of the characters which he had drawn, there were some Nicholas Nickleby's—(Hear, hear)— some Sikes's, some Squeer's—(Hear, hear)—and there were plenty of " artful dodgers"—( Loud laughter)—and there was a "Sairah Garep " on the other side of the table about to "propose a toast."—(Laughter.)

The dinner was more than usually good, and there was nothing to ba complained of on the part of Mr. Bacon, the landlord of the tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided, supported by Lord W. Lennox, Lord G. Lennox, brajor-General Macleod, Sir R. Hunter, Professor Taylor, Mr. P. Borthwick, M.P., Mr. Abingdon, Dr. Manson, Mr. A. W. Robarts, Mr. D. Bruce, &c. The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. T. Cooke, and many of the old favourites of the public contribut e d their efforts to please. Miss Rainforth and Miss P. Horton were received with the applause they deserved. The subscriptions amounted to nearly 5001., including a gift from her Majesty the Queen of 1001. It was also stated that a legacy o 1,000/. had bees bequeathed by a lady since the last festival. The usual loyal toasts were drunk with the appropriate honours; and the speech of the evening was as usual, spoken by Mr. Drinkwater Meadows. ATTEMPT AT SELF-DESTRUCTION AT CHATHAM...".

Midland Great Western of Ireland (Liffey Branch and Long ford Deviation). THE RICHMOND Ran.wAY.—The works upon this line of railway, for which Mr. H. Brill is the contractor, are rapidly approaching completion, and there is little doubt of the line being opened throughout in June. The line is six miles in length, and is almost a dead level from Richmond to Barnes Common, where it rises a few feet, and then a cutting commences, which deepens as it approaches Putney, under the High-street of which it passes, the old road being connected by a flat iron bridge, which is now in course of construction. Between Richmond and Putney nearly three miles of permanent way are completed, and the rails are laid down. The greatest engineering difficulty was the crossing of the osier beds, which are considerably below the level of high-water mark, and a mere de posit of mud to the depth of many feet. Over these beds and the Waddle, as well as ether streams, twenty-two arches were to be erected, and of these all but one have been completed. Two of the bridges are seventy feet span, and of very handsome appearance. An earth embankment succeeds these arches, and the railway is con tinued along it antll it joins the South-Western Railway at Falcon bridge, Battersea. This latter portion of the line has been completed some time, and on Monday numerous platelayers commenced fixing the rails. FRENCH RAILROADS.—The Journal des Chemins de Fer announces that the Minister of Public Works had declared his intention not to concede this year the railroad between Lyons and Moulins. The administration of the Bordeaux road was waiting until the Orleans Company should have organised its summer service to work the section comprised between Tours and Orleans. The road will not, consequently, be opened before the 15th inst. The municipal body of St. Quentin voted, on the 29th, a resolution to the effect of calling on the Ministry to present, without delay, to the Chambers, a project of law authorising the Government to concede the prolongation of the Creil and St. Quentin Railway, as far as Belgium, to the Company which had demanded that concession. The Assembly had, however, appointed a committee, of which Mr. Cordier, was a member, to whom it had given full powers to take steps necessary to forward that object. The receipts of the Orleans line during the week ending on the 31st alt. ' amounted to 150,73ef., and th ose o f th e first quarter of 1846 to 1,745,633 f. The Rouen and Paris road pro duced during the same week, 142,648 f., and during the last quarter 1 ,692,888 f. The receipts of the latter in March, 1846, exceeded by 154,609 f. those of the corresponding month of 1845. The Journal des Dibats announces that the Government was preparing to lay before the Chambers some new projects of law relative to railroads, and that the Chamber of Deputies would in a few days enter upon a discussion relative to several im portant lines. " Thus," observes the above journal, " this vast enterprise of 'public interest, followed up with energy and suc cess during preceding sessions, will, in the course of the present year, be finally brought to a conclusion in the Chambers. The system of railroad communication will be nearly complete, and in iliture it will merely be necessary to form certain branches. The new railroads which are to be laid before the Chambers are four in number—namely, the the two sections of the Vierzon line, which werementieti law of the II th June, 1842, but the plans of which were not sufd ciently advanced, and which will extend, the one from Chateauroux to Ligomes, and the other from Bec Allier to Clermont; thirdly, the Normandy line, which will connect Caen, and eventually Cherbourg, with Paris ; and, lastly, a line from the Saone to the Marne, or from Gray to Vitry." QUICK Wonx.—Mr. Hudson has summoned his co-shareholders in the Midland Itailway Company to meet at Derby, on Saturday, May 2, to give their approval to twenty-six railway Bills which that Company has now in Parliament. The following. Monday, at ten o'clock, the York and North Midland Railway pro prietors are required to meet him at York for the pilrpose of having submitted for their approval six Bills, and also to confirm certain deeds and agreements affecting the Manchester and Leeds and Hull and Selby Railway Companies. A quarter of an hour is allowed for this. At a quarter past ten the Hon. Member for Sunderland meets the Newcastle and Darlington Company to consider and approve seven Bills in Parliament and certain agreements. These are to be decided by half-past ten, when the chairman of the north and south lines is to officiate as head of the Newcastle and Berwick. We should not be surprised to find the Hon. Member taking his seat in the House of Commons in the evening of the same day, havingobtained between the rising of the House on Friday and its sitting again en Monday, the assent of the proprietors to ten millions or railway property to forty Bills in Parliament.—Railway Record. NEWCASTLE AND BERWICK RAILWAY.—The works in this neighbourhood are progressing with considerable rapidity, the very favourable state of the weather having enabled the spirited contractor, Mr. Mackay, to proceed without intermission through the winter. Near the site of the station, however, a very formidable obstruction has presented itself, in the shape of a huge whinstone rock, extending across the entire breadth of the line ; but even this is fast disappearing, and from present appearances, there is every probability that this portion, at all events, of the line will be ready at the specified time. A locomotive engine has been placed on the line south of this to assist in forwarding the operations.—Berwick Warder. RAILWAY LABOURERS' STRIKE.—The greater num ber of the labourers employed on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at and in the neighbourhood of Penrith, who lately struck work in consequence of the contractors demanding 10% hours' work per day, exclusive of meal times, instead of 10 hours' daily labour, have re sumed their work, agreeing to the demand of the contractors, with out an advance of wages. THE BRICKLAYERS' STRIKE AT BIRMINGHAM.—The workmen employed in the above trade have refused the offer of the masters, which appeared in The Sun of Monday. We have to announce the demise of Lieutenant- Colonel Sir Thomas Stephen Sorell, K.H., her Majesty's Consul- General to the Austrian Italian states, who expired on the 24111 ult. at Venice, at the age of seventy. He had been Consul-General at Venice since 1834, having filled a similar office at Corunna from 1830 to 1832, and at Oporto from 1832 to 1834. His rank of Lieute nant-Colonel, we should add, was of a local nature, and confined to the continent. A grand ball in aid of the " Distressed Needlewomen's Society," is, we understand, to take place on the 24th inst., at Al mack's Booms, St. James's. Many noble and influential names arc among the patrons on the occasion; and we trust that the result may be such as to reflect increased honour on their exertions, and to add liberally to the means of th e S oc i e t y. Th e o bj ect i s a mos t laudable one. The Countess of Wilton and family arrived early on Monday morning at the Blackwell pier, by the General Steam Na vigation Company's steam-ship Wilberforce, after a pleasant passage of 19 hours from Antwerp. WELSII FISHERIES.—The trolling smacks have com menced operations for the season. During the week a good supply of fish has been on sale at moderate prices. The scarcity and ex travagant prices of butcher's meat place it out of the reach of the poor classes. Nov that the fishing season has commenced the inha bitants of the town will not be wholly dependent on the butcher for their weekly supply; at the same time we would recommend the trolling company to preserve a greater uniformity of price than was the case hiet o.looll.—afrlliartilfift /nitwit. CALEDONIAN ASYLUM. On Monday a special general meeting of the 'members of this Society was held at the rooms of the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-street, for the purpose of considering the report from the Committee of Bye-laws, and on other business. The meeting was adjourned from the 23d ult., on which occasion it will be recollected that a protracted discussion took place relative to some novel propositions of the Court of Direction, :for placing the religious superintendence and examination of the children under the control of the Presby tery of London, instead of under the ex of supervision of the Scottish! Presbytery in connexion with the Established Church, as it had been for the greater part of the last cen tury. The Marquis of Breadalbane presided, there being also present P. M. Stewart, Esq., M.P. ; Sir John Kirkland, the Rev. Dr. Cumming, the Chisholm, Mr. Matheson, M.P., B. B. Cabbell, Esq., isc. Unfortunately for the welfare of the Society the attendance of those favourable to the Esta blished Church was lamentably .small, while the mem bers of the Free Church assembled in great force, with the view of supporting a resolution for upsetting the rules whereby it was held that the children, agreeably to the char ter of incorporation, should be educated in accordance with the principles of the Established Church of Scotland, exer cised by clergymen connected therewith. The Noble Chairman having opened the business, The Rev. Dr. CUMMIN• rose, and was received with ap plause. He believed, he said, that he was the party who defeated the proposition of the last meeting, authorising the transfer of ecclesiastical rower from the Scottish Presbytery in London to the newly-formed London Presbytery. In taking this step, he hoped it might be understood that he entertained no personal animosity against the gentlemen connected with the Free Church of Scotland, and that he indulged no party feeling against that institution itself.— (Cheers.) lie certainly admitted that it was a difficult matter to denude oneself of everything appertaining to party feeling, but on the present occasion he felt little difficulty in doing so, inasmuch as they were now engaged in consulting the interests of a great national charity. He found, from consulting the records of the Society, that it had been its practice for a quarter of a century to provide for the ex amination of the children annually, by the Scotch Pres bytery of London, in connexion with the Established Church of Scotland. On the faith of that clause in the Act, he (the Rev. Doctor) contributed his mite towards the sup port of the institution, and others with whom he was ac quainted contributed their mites also. The Rev. Gentleman, after some further remarks, proposed an amendment to the effect that the examination of the children should take place agreeably to the general usage—viz., according to the forms of the Established Church of Scotland, and by clergymen belonging thereto. The amendment having been seconded, a discussion ensued. On a division there appeared for Dr. Cumming's amend ment, 17; against it, 27. Majority in favour of Free Church principles, 10. This being the first victory of the Free Church party, the announcement of the numbers was received by them with loud applause. The Rev. Dr. Cumming :announced his intention of ap pealing against the decision at a future meeting. On Sabbath last a little boy, on the south side of the water, of about four years of age, met his death by putting his mouth to a kettle full of boiling water, and swallowing a considerable quantity ere he was observed. The poor little fellow survived only a few hours.—Glasgow Constitutional.
