The no n - a pp earance o f th e Q ueen the Itoyal Chapel this morning was a source of great disap pointment to many. We understand"that Dr. Clarke, b eing fearful of a relapse in the event of I-er 'M , 4!sty going to Chapel, advised his Royal patient rot to , leave ner r oom. Dr. Clarke quitt e d th e p a l ace thi s a fternoon for London. The Q ueen does not take an airing to-days the A.'eather i s d e li g h tful, and the cliffs, and every street in the vicinity of the palace is crowded with woll-dresed Persons. The Duchess of Kent attended Divine Worship in the Chapel. Lady Mary Stopford, the Countess of Charle mont, and the Earl of Surrey were in the Royal p w with her Royal Highness. The Rev. J S. M.

THE HAGUE, Ocre 12—It has pleased Divine Provi. deuce to take to itself her Majesty the Queen, at a quarter before onoo"clock.thisday. . , During the latter part of -her Majesty's resiencc: aCtle. Loo she suffered from , a prokressive decay of strength, which, however, did not hinder her Majesty From-returning to thi4 pl.tce-on , tho 4th - of: this month ; but' her strength contiutied to decline, and after-having, eskciafly yesterday evening, rapidly grown worse, her Majesty' expired without pain. THE HAGUE, OCTOBER 1 3.—Profound and universal is the sorrow which prevails in this town, and certainly- in the whole kingdom also, on the death of the Queen of the Netherlands. In every company we hear the praises of this excellent Princess, who was equally distinguished by pure piety and by all the qualities which adorn a Queen. The praise is especial:} heard in the narrow dwellings of the poor inha bitants, who call to mind, with emotion and gratitude, the numberless benefits which her Majesty's charitable hand, though often in secret, dispensed among them. We feel that we are only the organs of the whole nation, when we utter the fervent prayer that it may please the Almighty to alleviate the grief of our revered King, who has lost the Elithful partner of his life, and that of the .Princes and Princesses of her family, who are all deprived of a tender and venerated mother, and that they may abundantly expe rience the consolation which religion administers in the greatest affliction. Queen Frederica Louisa Wilhelmina was a (laughter of Frederick William 11., King of Prussia. Her Majesty was born on the 18th of October, 1774, and married to our King on the Ist of October, 1791. We have received information that his Majesty's frigate Bcllona, on board of which is his Royal Highness Prince Frederick Henry, had completed its voyage to visit several of the Dutch colonies, and had arrived on the 4th of June this year, in the road of Soerabaja. THE HAGUE, OCT. 12.—Soon after the death of her Majesty, aides-dc-camp of the King were dispatched to Berlin and other capitals, to announce the melancholy event to the relations of the Royal Family. The theatre and other places of amusement are closed till further orders. In consequence of the melancholy event which afflicts the country, it is expected that the opening of the Session of the States General, on Monday next, will take place with as little ceremony as possible, by one of the King's Mini sters, in his Majesty's name. _ _ At Amsterdam the bells tolled three times in the day. The Staats Courant, Amsterdam Coot ant, and .Handels bled of Saturday, have black borders on account of the Queen's death. COURT CIRCULAR.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAtilig§.-7' LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. The line of the London and Birmingham Railway, which has for some time been opened to Boxmoor, was on Satur day opened for the first time to Trine.' in Heetfoalshie. The line cif road now'in perfect order :for tVe trains ex- I tends 32 miles, passing thrOugh part of , Midd:eseX rit.o . Hertfordshire, having on the left head Harrow. Piriner, Rickmansworth, Two Waters, Rerkliampatead, Efleceierre, and Tring ; and on the right hand, Stanmore, Watford; and Hemel j - lenspStead. The views on both sidei of the road are very pleasant, the country being, divefsifirid by hill and. dale, meadows, corn fields, and woody districts, ere in tersected by the Birmingham Canal and many rivulets. The line of road, as far as it at present extends, passes by means of tunnelling beneath the earth at four places. The first tunnel, at Primrose-hill, is nearly a mile in length. This is, with the other three tunnels, free from any at mospheric oppression, but two of them, from their great length, are at present completely dark - within. The second tunnel is at Kensall-green ; it is a quarter of a mile in length. The tunnel at Watford appears to be in length about the same as that at Prim rose-hill. The fourth, which is at Northwich, is a very short one. The line in some places runs on a road even with the surrounding fields ; at others it is carried along upon a bank of very considerable height, and com mands a view over a great extent of country ; and at other places it is between steep and almost. precipitou s trenches of chalk, which shut out all prospect ; this is the case more particularly as it npproachcs its present terminus, about a mile on the right-hand of the town of Tring. The upper strata of the chalk at this part are particularly ' rocky, and the labour of digging has been proportionably great ; lower down from the surface it is softer. The arches of the tunnels, the bridges, and viaducts, which in many places cross the railway, the station-homes, and the various buildings connected with the undertaking, are all built with a view to durability ; they all exhibit as much taste as could be displayed in such 'erections, consistently with the strength and massiveness which are peculiarly ne cessary. The apartments, the ofiicee, and the arrange ments for the accommodation of the directors, clerks of the establishment, and for the public, at the principal station, at the north side of Euston-square, are admirably adapted to answer the ends intended. Everything appears to hare been attended to with the most minute diligence to meet the wants of all. The carriages, which are divided into different classes, and for seats in which dirTerent prices are demanded, have been so constructed as to afford superior accommoda tion to the rich, and yet to afford comfort and satis faction to all classes of travellers. It is contemplated that by Christmas next the line will have reached Denbigh-hall, which is seventeen miles beyond Trigg ; a great deal of this portion of the road is already in a state very near com pletion. From Denbigh-hall to Rugby is thirty-five miles, and the line from Birmingham to Rugby is in a state of rapid progress. By the early part of next spring there will be little to finish beyond the thirty-five miles between Rugby and Denbiglehall, and it may therefore be fairly concluded that by this time twelvemonth the whole line from London to Birmingham will be finished. On Saturday morning the train, consisting of about a dozen carriages, drawn by a steam-engine of thirty-horse power, and conveying about forty persins, the Directors and their friends, the whole under the arrangement of Mr. Creed, the Secretary, started from the Euston station. At nine o'clock, everything being in readiness, they left the Camden-town station, and ,reached Tring at eight minutes past ten, performing a dis tance of thirty-one miles and a half in an hour a n d eight minutes. There was no stoppage whatever on the road. The labourers and country people were clustered together in many different places to behold this extraordinary rapidity of transition, and hailed the success of it with acclamations. The line of rails now laid down does not extend more than a hundred yards beyond the station, and concludes there in a deep cutting, about fifty-five feet below the level of the earth, in a soil consisting entirely of chalk, The excava tion here is still going on. The railroad, on the first ar rival of the visitor, would appear to terminate here entirely, a wall of chalk rising perpendicularly in front of the line of rails. By means of a broken path up the embankment, he may, however, gain the level of the ground, and he will then find that this wall has merely been retained to support a road which passes over it, until the construction of a viaduct or bridge on the other side of it shall have been completed, the workmen having beau already employed in forming the line of rails in continuation of and on a level with those on the opposite side of the wall. The spot at which this exca vation is made is the highest point of the whole line of rail way from London to Birmingham, and its level is 800 feet higher than that of the station at Euston-square, a gentle acclivity, therefore, extending throughout the whole distance. The country in the neighbourhood is beau tiful in the extreme, and the villsge of ..B.ldbuty on the one aide, and the town of Trieg on the other, are seen to great advantage from tht adjacent rising grounds. The latter town is distant about two miles from the station. Arrangements, we understand, are in progress, by which passengers arriving by the Railway may be conveyed forth with to Aylesbury, Oxford, and the surrounding towns, as well as to Birmingham. The Railway from Birmingham towards London is yet in an incomplete state ; but it is ex pected that it will be finished to Rugby at the beginning of the ensuing year, by which time also the London portion of it will be in a state of readiness as far as Denbigh Hall, which abuts on the Holyhead road, and which is only about 31 hours' drive from Rugby. Coaches for the conveyance of passengers will then be provided from one station to the other, and arrangements are in pro gress, /by which her Majesty's mail will be conveyed by this means from London to Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, the transmission of all letters, in fact, to the North, being by Railway thus obtained. The journey, it is expected, will then be performed from London to Birmingham in S hours, but, as soon as the rails arc completed the whole distance, there is little doubt that the mails will be carried in a little more than four hours, and to Liverpool in eight hours and a half, or thereabouts. The object of the Company 4.present, however, is net so much to procure speed as to secure the regular passage of their carriages, and with 'a% vieW to this means are now being adopted by which every , train will be regularly timed on its reaching each station. Several extra engines are now in the course of building, and at the next opening of rails eight will be kept at all times ready to be called into work, although three only is the number now required to be used every day. The train returned about 12 o'clock from Tring. It was delayed on the road several times by the earth-waggons and other similar obstacles, and reached Euston-square station a little before ‘2 o'clock. There was not the slightest accident ; indeed, every thing was managed with great attention to render the journey' secure. The line to Tring will be opened this day (Monday) for the • convenience of the public. The Earl and Countess of Howth and family left the London Hotel, Albemarle -street, on Saturday last, in tending to make a tour through Italy. Lords Charleville, Belfast, and Gardner, and Colonel Lincol❑ Stanhope, were among the fashionables who visited the St. James's theatre during the last week. Sir Roger Griesley, Bart., dicd. on Thursday last at his residence, Drakclow Hall, in the county of Derby, aged 37. It is now confidently asserted that her Majesty will make a tour in England and Scotland in July next ; and, we understand, that her Majesty will visit the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth, and the Marquis and Mar chioness of Exeter, at Burghley House, in the course of her journey.

They represent the prospects of this Prince. as very brd liant, and think he ►till be re•called, as even in the Cham ber itself many Deputies are said to have declared F►r him (!) Judging from the mnst recent ecceuntii in the J{►uruols, all this m2eins hardly credible. . Accounts tram an ecclesiastic at Constantinople give a frightful description of the plague, Which has, not for many 'ears been so fatal to the French population as now. All family ties are dissolved by .fear of the disorder. Parents forsake their ebildren = children their parents—man and wife, brother and sister, shun each other when one is seized with this dreadful disease. Every one thinks of saving his own life. Medical aid is not to be thought of. Every one a!tacked by the plague implores those belonging to him to avoid him, and is left to despair. Strangers who have no house of their own fare the worst ; they are driven with out. mercy from their lodgings, so that many of them, after some days' suffering, die in the open air. How mild does the cholera appear in comparison. We hope to be s oon freed from it, especially as we have the finest autumnal weather, and the air is purer. A solemn brass has already been performed in the Cliureh of the Magdalene for those who have fallen victims to the disorder; and it is in contem plation soon to perform Te Dcunt fur our entire delivery from this scourge. The police has succeeded in discovering the thieves who lately robbed the Mint, and has recovered all the gold bars that were stolen. CHOLERA BULLETIN. Sept 28.

It was affirmed that another division had anchored in the Bay of Baia, and that more ships are off Capri, The object of the enemy was the great subject of conversation en 'Change ; the prices of stock and of pro duce fell. The King called a Council of Ministers, which eat till late at night ; troops and ammunition were. sent to the forts, cannon planted on the quays, &c. There are various opinions on the cause of all this, Most think that the French Government thought to enforce its demands on oars respecting the commercial disputes ; and the object seems to be attained, as the ships have sailed as they came, i. e , without saluting. Many think they only came to take in fresh water. P.S.—The French ships have left the road, but not the Gulf, It is ,said this evening, that they arc come to de clare to our Government, in concert with England, that both States formally protest against the interference of a foreiga power, whatever may happen, as they (qy. both ?) also obsetved neutrality in Spain.—Supplement to Allge mei 11.7. - Zeitukt,' Oct. rt; A - : iIE L6l A Ng.

She is intended to be worked by two high-pressure engines of thirty-five h orse power eac h , w i t h 24-inch cylinders of :34 1 . feet stroke, and three boilers with copper tubes worked expansively ; and to ply on the Rhone. The iron planks of which she is made are about seven feet long, fimrtcen inches wide, and a quarter of an inch thick, and her ribs arc of double angle iron with diagonal stays.. lier mould is handsome, but rather narrow ; and when she has her machinery and water, it is calculated she will not draw above two feet water.
