The recent gold discoveries in New South Wales and Victoria are causing so great an increase in the population and general commerce of those important colonies, that the field hitherto presented there for the profitable employment of capital in banking transactions has be come greatly and suddenly enlarged. It has accordingly been determined to establish a new banking estabdshment under the above designation, the chief management of which will be vested in a Board of Directors in London. ,ranches, with local directories, will be formed at Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, and at Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, and at such other towns in the colonies as may be deemed advisable; and the im mediate superintendence of all sub-colonial establishments will be placed in the hands of a gentleman of credit and colonial experience, and the selection of a colonial inspector will receive the most careful attention of the Directors. From the large profits hitherto realised by the Banker in the Australian colonies, and from the fact that there are only two estab lishments in England at present employed in conducting banking affairs with the important colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, there is every reason to anticipate that the London, Australian, and Colonial Chartered Bank will be a most desirable investment, and a source of great gain to the shareholders. It is proposed that all the usual business of banking establishments shall be carried on—as, the issue of notes, discounting, receiving money on deposit, granting letters of credit upon the different establish ments of the Company, making advances upon bullion, gold dust, and other undoubted securities, and the transaction of all other usual banking business in the colonies ; and it cannot be doubted that the high rate of interest obtained there for advances on good security, and the effect of the recent gold discoveries, will ensure a large profit upon the business of the Company and its local branches. The absence of Banking Establishments at the Cape of Good Hope has also come under consideration ; and it has been determined forth with to establish branches at the principal towns there. By so doing, it is considered that the business, and consequently the profits, of the Company will be materially increased, whilst a long-felt want will be supplied, and the valuable resources of this enterprising colony be de veloped and improved by the assistance thus rendered to the mer cantile community and emigrants. It is intended to apply forthwith for a Charter of Incorporation, one of the objects of which will be to secure the limitation of liability of each shareholder to the amount of his shares. Five thousand of the shares will be reserved for allotment in the colonies. The Deed of Settlement of the Company, to be executed conform ably to the terms of the Charter, will contain a power to increase the capital to 1,000,00)1. sterling; and in the event of such increase taking place, priority of allotment will be given to the existing share holders, and a portion of such new shares will also be reserved for allotment in the colonies. The capital, in the first instance, will consist of 500,000/., in 25.000 shares, on which a deposit of 11. bs. per share is to be paid on allotment ; which sum, after deducting expenses, will be returned in the event of the charter not being obtained. A further instalment of 11. 55., to be pad at a period of not less than two months. The remainder of the capital will be called for at intervals of at least three months ; and the Directors feel confident that no call will ex ceed 21. 10s. per share.

For the nursery it is invaluable, as it is as agreeable to the palate as it is useful in all cases of hooping-cough, chin-cough, or common cough , , arising from colds, teething, &c. To invalids, whose ailments are increased by frosty and fuggy weather, it Is a never-failing source of comfort and ease from suffer ing; enabling them to breathe with freedom during the keenest frost and thickest fog. In fine, it possesses every property which can be beneficial in cases of Coughs, Colds, Asthma, and all complaints of the Chest and Lungs. It is of the greatest imp&tance in complaints of the chest to at tend strictly to the state of the bowels ; therefore, should they be costive, the patient should use a gentle aperient.

It is slightly curved to allow the water to run off, and reminds us very much of the deck of a vessel or the too of some gigantic omnibus without a " knifeboard.. " The view from iV is magnificent, and, no description can do it jptice. Arrived at the south, or neat end of 4he bridge, the Royal N rty descended to the water's edge, and sur veyed from beneath the gigantic proportions of the whole structure. This gives by far the best and most imposing conception of its true magnitude ; for, like St. Peter's, Rome, and other masterpieces of archi tecture, sat are the relations of each part to the other, and/so severe and simple the style in which the w $ le has been designed, that at a distance the stu pe. $ e s dimensions are not. appreciated,. and except fr* 'eneath there is no way of inspecting it as a • e close at hand, There you can look up and see . t it is. To alltessapt any description of it now would be useless r forfes far as it can be described it already has been, and those who have not visited it are sufficiently familiar with its form through the me dium of illustrations ; but there are some striking facts with regard to it that may be mentioned, and that will help to give an idea of what a personal inspection can alone enable one fully to appreciate. When the best method of raising the tubes was first discussed some thought that it should be done as speedilpa possible— that the hydraulic presSes should be set in action without any attempt to support by packing underneath the lift, which they accomplished, and that any risk from the failure of tackle in baying each tube sus pended without support should be . encountered. In this way the lifting might have been done ia twenty four hours, whereas it took three weeks. Mr. Ste phenson, after due consideration, adepted the safe course. He made the sii foot, lift tbe,press occupy, a period cf three hours', 3 anclitte ritiagiind Packing underneath were carried on so simultaneously that the tubes were never for a moment left without support. The bursting of the press, a few days after operations were commenced, proved the wisdom and necessity of his caution. Had he not exercised it the Britannia bridge would never have been completed, and it was no doubt with feelings of justifiable pride that he yes terday showed to her Majesty and the Prince the frac tured cylinder, which has been placed on apedestal near the bridge—a monument of the prudent skill which watched over its construction. Another illustration of what this work is may be drawn from the fact that the chains used to raise the tubes were ten inches square each, or about the thickness of a man's body, and that, notwithstanding that enormous strength, in the process of lifting they stretched an inch and a half, returning to their old dimensions when the pressure was withdrawn. The elasticity of iron was known previously, but had never been tested on so grand a scale before, and it certainly does give a tremendous impression of this bridge to know that the most massive wrought iron tackle " gave" in the progress of it almost like Indiarubber. Not only did the chains yield, but through the iron wall of the cylinder, ten inches thick, the water oozed like perspiration wrought out from its pores by the enormous power exerted. Of the strength of the tube Mr. Stephenson gives the following satisfactory assurances :—He states that a line-of-battle ship might be suspended from the central point between either pair of towers, without injury to the structure ; that it would bear at those points a pressure of 5,000 tons; and that, although sawn completely through, a rail way train could still be run across with perfect safety.

The extension of the railway system on the continent, its introduc tion into Denmark, Norway, and Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national point of view, that the latter should no longer be isolated from the grand chain of European communication. To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a concession for the construction of a seres of trunk and branch lines, adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and to its foreign traffic. The construction of a Grand Trunk Line between Stockholm and Gottenburg has been, in the first instance, determin ,d on, compris ing an extent of 350 miles,• by which means the great design of uniting the Baltic and the North Seas will be accomplished, and, in connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the,, journey from St. Pcteriburgh to London will be accomplished in ha time—tithe octlppietWat:..prasealta_the navigation of the Sound wilr be arblided ;- and consequently the payment — of - 810t1 nttes, together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay- of a long voyage up the. Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on the North Sea, being accessible during a greater nortion of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a much later period in the year than at present ; the Russian traffic from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice, and in wint.r from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line. The object of the present Company, is the construction of the first section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English miles, between Roping and Halt, which will connect the two prin cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Malarn ; the remainder of the route, between Stockholm and Gottenburg, will be accomplished for the present by the steam-boats through the lakes. The concession for the first section has been obtained from the Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent., on a capital of 416,678/., thus offering to the capitalist a highly profitable investment secured on the faith of one of the most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue. From the annual sum of 20,8331. thus gstaranteed by the Go vernment, 4 per cent. per annum will be paid to the shareholders, and the remainder will be, applied to create a sinking fund to re deem the entire capital at the expiration of forty years. It is important to obserre that the shareholders will be entitled to the enure profits of the railway, which, it is confidently expected, will reate from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into with a responsible English con tractor, front whom security has been taken for the execuaon of the entire works of the line, and to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on such terms as will secare the execution of the whole, the payment of all preliminary expenses, cost of management until the opening of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the period of construction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701. Full powers are granted to the Company of esta , _ lishing an electric telegraph, with the usual privileges attached thereto. Four per cent. interest will be allowed to the Shareholders on their calls, from the day of payment, during the period of con struction. The payment of interest and dividend will take place at Stockholm, Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a fixed rate of exchange of twelve rix-dolars banco to the I/. sterling.

The truth seems to be, that as in agriculture a wealthy territorial aristocracy has placed at the command of practical men the experimental results of amateur farming, vin our marlins srte have iachting, and for the improvement of our horseflesh racing and hunting, so, thoagh in a larger and grander sense, the mechanical genius of this country has a fancy development and a favourite arena for display.

The extraordinary beauty of the scenery enhances the splendour of his achievements, and blue hills and rushing vater, the variegated banks of the Strait, the broken outlines of the mountainous horizon softened by distance, mansions and humbler dwellings gleam ing in tie sunshine, and ships gliding along with the current, all shed their influences on his triumphs. For de last generation Telford hung his graceful iron web ecross the Strait, and it remains an enduring monument of his genius; but those were days of ordi nary roads and slow locomotion, and it was reserved for Robert Stephenson, the son of the man who more than any other founded our iron highways and put steam power into harness, to show what in our times engineers can do in carrying out that vast railway syst e m w ith w hi c h th e ir professional fame is now so rrIlE DUKE of WELLINGTON.—Now pub lished, the Engraving, by Saffmal Cousins, A.R.A., from the Picture painted by Winterhalter, by command of her Majesty, called " THE FIRST OF MAY, 1851."

The way in which the Britannia tubular bridge was first suggested to Mr. Stephenson's mind forms a most, instructive portion of its history, and may fairly claim a space in this narrative. When the Chester and Holyhead Railway was first farmed tea plan conternplated for crossing the Strait was a splendid iron bridge on two arches, the proportions of which may be conceived when it is stated that, whereas the span of the central arch of the Southwark-bridge, the largest of the kind in the world, is 240 feet, Mr. Stephenson proposed that the span of each arch in this instance should be 450 feet. The cost was to be 200,0001., and in consideration for so large an outlay —at such a point the Government of Sir It. Peel consented, by an act unprecedented in the history of English railways, to pay 20,0001. a year, during seven years, for the transmission of the mails. This arrangement still holds, but, unfortunately for the company, the Admiralty objected to the bridge, as likely to obstruct the navigation of the Strait, and the consequence was that (his bridge plan being condemned) Mr. Stephenson, as ergineer, found himself in what the Yankees call a "regular fix." The idea of an iron tube then occurred to him, but the expense of constructing it was so enormous that, it is said, could he have been permitted to fill up the Strait with a solid embankment of masonry 1,850 feet long, 160 feet high, and containing about 5,000,000 cubic yards of material, he would have found it cheaper and far easier to do so. This will give some idea of the strong necessity under which the Britannia-bridge was projected, of the magnitude of an undertaking which left such a preferable alter native, and of the difficulties which Englishmen will surmount in the prosecution of enterprises to which they have once committed themselves. The Chester and Holyhead Company constructed this great tube at a cost of 700,0001., and they receive from Govern ment the annuity of 20,0001. for seven years, granted to them in consideration of a design involving only a 200,000/. outlay. The original shareholders have never had a penny of dividend upon their shares, and the packet-service to Dublin, which they formed in connexion with their line, after having been brought by them to the highest perfection, is still entirely dependent for its support on the passenger traffic across the Channel. The mail contract, having been exposed by the Government to public competi tion, was given (perhaps rightly in principle) to the Dublin Steam-packet Company, without any refer ence to the enormous cost of the great tube. Will that cost be eventually covered, and this marvellous enterprise, in the long run, compensate those en gaged in it ? Let us hope it may.

Mr. Stephenson explains with great clearness how this wonderful strength of the Britannia-bridge, which is double that of the Conway, arises; but the account of it would involve mechanical details more intricate than seems appropriate in such a narrative as this, and the bare statement is therefore given. On leaving to resume their seats in the train the Royal children took with them several bits of stone and brick as memen toes of their visit, and Prince Albert, turning to Mr. Stephenson, said to him, "It is a stupendous work, and an honour both to you and to the company." In his recent work "on metalwork and its artistic de sign," Mr. Digby Wyatt alludes to the Britannia bridge as possessing the highest merits for the severe grandeur and noble simplicity of its style. An in spection of it more than confirms the justice of his encomiums. The vastness of its proportions, the absence of all attempts at frivolous ornamentation, the grave character of the outline forms, and the gigantic scale of the dimensions, uninvaded by any extravagance, all lead the mind of the spectator back to the sombre and stately relics of Egyptian architec ture. The huge lions that guard the entrances are in harmony with such associations, and if on closer inspection the mysterious sphinx-like air of repose is found wanting, perhaps a wakeful-looking animal best befits our times, when everybody is compelled to keep his eyes as wide open as possible, and when even the Pyramids would not be tolerated, unless they could be put to better service than the safe custody of mummies.

In their rapid drive they passed over the lines of no less than six railway companies, the ma nagement of each assuming the responsibility of so precious a freight in turn, and all discharging their duties with the most praiseworthy punctuality, and without the slightest centre temps. As far as the Saltney Junction, on the Chester and Holyhead line, Mr. Trevithick and Mr. Binger, of the London and North-Western Company, who work the line, hid the charge. Then the care of the train passed to the Shrewsbury and Chester Company's officials, who brought it to Shrewsbury through fine ro mantic scenery, and glimpses of beautiful valleys like that of Llangollen, at about two o'clock. Here the royal party received a very warmhearted welcome from the inhabitants, collected in great numbers in and around the statioe, which was most tastefully fitted up for the occasion. A loyal address was pres en t e d to bee Majesty, who was received by the Earl of Pawl's and the Yeomanry Cavalry of the county. After a short delay for luncheon, the train proceeded along the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line to Wol verhampton, which it reached at about 20 minutes past three. There, again, the station was crammed full of loyal subjects, and nicely decorated. The Marquis of Aeglesea, Lord Wrottesley, Lord Lewisham, and Mr. Thortiely, M.P., were on the platform to receive her Majesty, and the inhabitants, by their chief meeistrate, presented a dutiful address, from which the following is an extract : " Your Majesty will not fail to perceive, in this im mediate neighbourhood, the signs of an i n d us try whic h, although not improving its appearance, yet adds essca ashy to the wealth of the country. " Wolverhampton is the centre and metropolis_ of . 8 r district in rch , oh morn than a third of million Of yo ur Majesty's subjects are employed in vartous occu patio ns connected with the manufacture of i ron and . har dware.. We are happy to inform your Majesty tha t . this very large population is now ful ly . employed, and in the enjoyment of ample supplies of the necessaries and com forts of life." Between Wolverhampton and Birmingham the view from the train presented a striking contrast ' to all that had preceded it. Nature has not been kind to the surface of the " Black Country," but for external beauty has suppli e d mineral we alth and an immense and industrious popu lation, living and prospering in an atmosphere and on a soil which . suggests, even in the daytime, vi sions of PAlldelal They cheered their Sove reign most lust i ly, and showed th e grea t es t anxiety to obtain even a glimpse of her as she passed. Cap tain Huish, Mr. Norris, and the other officers of the North-Western Company, having brought the train in safety to the break which leads to the broad gauge and the newly-opened Birmingham and Oxford line, the Royal party were at once transferred to the care of the Great Western directors and their ch ief officers, who were in attendance. Mr. Brunel him self took charge of the engine, and, having traversed at a rapid rate and without the slightest casualty the remainder of the journey, her Majesty and the Royal Family reached Windscr in perfect safety at a quarter before seven o'clock. sort of Brighton for the busy toilworn population of Lancashire. That will help somewhat; and, should Ireland ever prosper, the company must share her improving fortunes The Royal party left the Penryn Arms at half past nine o'clock, in carriages, and proceeded by the turnpike road to the suspension-bridge. Standing at the north end of the Britannia tube, and looking along the Strait towards Telford's great work, for some minutes nothing could be seen of the illustrious travellers ; and the salutes fired from different points on either chore, the echoes of which were pro longed among the hills, alone indicated that they were coming. It was a magnificent October morn ing, the night-misi being lifted up like a veil from the face of the landscape, and the mountains, with Snowdon chief among them, being clear and well de fined on the horizon to their remotest summits. The tide was flowing high through the Strait, covering everything that it was desirable to conceal, and even threatening two or three little houses perched upon islet rocks in the channel. The faint sound of a cheer reaching the tuba indicated th it the Queen was crossing the suspension-bridge, which is about a mile off, as the crow flies. Straining the eye sight at that distance, the Royal carriages could islet be se.Pn, four in number. and ditnio7;l,e(l to a size appropriate to Qaeen Mab's rather than Queen Victoria's stable. A louder cheer welcomed the ar rival of her Majesty in Anglesea ; then, after a few minutes waiting, the scarlet-coated outriders were observed heading the cortege, which received, as it passed along, the greetings of the peasantry pic turesquely grouped at different points. It went on to Llanfair station, which is about three-quarters of a mile from the north entrance of the tube, and there, on alighting and entering the train, the Royal party were received by a guard of honour belonging to the Welch Fusileers, the regiment which very appro priately at Bangor and ether points in the Princi pality has performed the military duties attendant on the Queen's visit. The Fusileers exhibit at their_ ne bead, with characteristic Cambrian pride, a ve a ry o n by white goat, presented to them some__ yearst ph g enson her Majesty.

You hear the throb of the locomotive, and the reverberation of the iron; the shriek of the steam-whistle startles you with its almost demoniacal expression ; and, as you listen and gaze, a mass of sound, gradually accumu lating to a perfect hurricane, swells upon the ear, while the brightening glow of the furnace and the majestic progress of the engine fill the eye and im press the imagination. It is a fine and an imposing sight to see an express train sweep by, but the effect is increased a hundredfold in the Britannia-bridge, and should be tested by all who visit it.

The investigation is conducted by Mr. Sheriff Gordon and Mr. Lothian, procurator fiscal; but from the difficulty of procuring accurate information, it is impossible as yet to say what the result of the investigation may be. The engineman and stoker of the mail train, were so far recovered as to be able to attend the judicial examination on Monday. The oth er passengers who were injured by the collision are also progressing favourably.— Scotsman. The issue of the 5 per cent. preference shares of the Norwegian Railway took place yesterday, and, although they had been previously quoted 2 to % premium, the price was no w discount to par. An evidence is thus afforded that the number of new schemes daily brought out is greater than the public are prepared to accept; and, however strange the fall may appear in an instance like this, it is not unsatis factory that it should have occurred, since it will show that there is a limit that must be ohserved in the production of foreign undertakings, however intrinsically sound. There was a serious decline this afternoon in almost all the new stocks and shares, which will probably give a wholesome check to a multitude of projects in preparation. ;. ~' . , `~~ -.-• - ANY.. • The half-yearly general meeting of proprietors was , held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bi,hopsgate street, Captain Shepherd, deputy-chairman, preAding, when the report was unanim ou sly adopted. The di vidend declared was 21. per .share free of income-tax, but a shareholder (Mr. Ridgway) contended that, looking at the profits, the rate of distribution timid have been larger. In answer to this, Mr. Shepherd, the deputy-cbairinan, who presided, stated that, the-di rectors desired to exercise prudence in their Manage ment and to place the undertaking on a thorough stable basis before they increased the dividend. They bad not-yet completed their fleet of vessels, and there were also other arrangements to be perfected. After some general obseivatiotiq, the dividend and accounts were then agreed to--Sahjoined is an abstract of the report : . - - " The working anceunt for the first half-year,of the current, year does not admit of exact comparison with - that for-the corresponding, periodof 1851, as contains the revolt 'of sire voye g es instead of foui, as in the first half of last besides additional receipts and ex- penditure.occasioned by the employment intercolonially of lir& ships, Which'. had been previously en gaged in Transatlantic service. Moreover, the increased consumption of fuel necessary to main tain the present rate of .speed, and the hither charge for coal freight, arising fr om scarc it y of vessels occasioned, by their extensive engagement for emigration purposes,.render such comparison still more inapplicable. These circumstances have, of course, had an influence on both sides of the account; but it.is satis factory that the result shows, on. .the six months, an augmentation in receipts of 38,4361., while the additional expenditure is only 35,97 8/. Respecting the latter it may be proper to explain, that to meet the increased risk from the large increase of the company's fleet, it hair been considered expedient to raise the sum, rannue.lly placed to the credit' of the insurance fund from 25,000/. , to 45,0001, and the additional 10,0001. for the first half of this year is accordingly charged. The expenditure for provisions' has been considerably augmented by the additional voyages performed, and by the greater num ber of 'passengers conveyed. The charge for general service and stations' has been increased by enlarging the company's premises at Southampton to carry on • more extensive repairs of ships and machinery con sequent upon the Brazil and River Plate communi cation, and also by an outlay upon the wharfs at St. Thomas and Jamaica. Adverting to the credit side of the account, there is a greater re -.1 ceipt under every head of freight and passage money,. • outward," intercolonial,, and homeward,' affording evidence of the success that continues to attend the coin- • pany's operations. The Conway, after undergoing re• pair end receiving now boilers, was dispatched to the West Indies as an extra ship on the 11th of September, preparatory to being placed upon the new experimental route between the Spanish Main, Jamaica, Nassau. and Savannah, intended to be commenced on the 22d of next month. With referrence to irregularities in the arrivals of West India packets, it is questionable if they can be altogether avoided, where the combinations are so intricate and so dependent upon each other. On the West India Mail service the company's ships touch at no less than twenty-eight different ports, and at all hours of the day and night, involving considerable risk, and frequent unavoidable delays; whereas on the Brazil and other direct routes, comprehending single voyages across the ocean, there is little or no risk of detention from circumstances beyond the possibility of control, and hence it may be observed that the service between Englund and the Brazils has been performed throughout with, the most perfect regularity. Respecting the West India line, however, the dire eters confidently anticipate that when the proposed arrangements shall have been completed, by which largest class ships will be em ployed exclusively bet:men Southampton and St. Thomas, greater dispatch and punctuality will be at tained, and the general comfort of passengers mate rially promoted. With a view also of accelerating the ietercolonial service between St. Thomas, the Pacific, Ocean, and Mexico, two ships specially suited for those particular branches are now in progress of construction. The Panama Railway continues to progress rapidly. The loan made to the proprietors by this Company hav ing fully answered ihe purpose, and the railway stock having risen to a premium, it was considered expedient to dispose of the debentures held as security, and a sale has been effected, realizing a profit of 7,0634 at the same time retaining to the Company the eito allotted to it at Manzinolla Island, whither workmen and materials have been already sent to construct the necessary wiled and premises. In conclusion, the directors recommend a dividend for the first half of the current year at the usual rate of 21. per share, free of income-tax. WORKING ACCOUNT FROM IST JANUARY To 30TR JUNE, 1852.

WOLVEI:II.OIpToN, OCT. 13.—The usual quarterly meeting of the ironmastors of this district was held here this afternoon. The attendance not only of those actu ally e n g aged in the trade, but of buyers from London, Li ve rpool, and all parts of the country, was more nu merous than for a long time past, end after a full discus sion of the circumstances of the trade, there seemed to b e a general concurrence in the vie w that the recent rise i n the price of iron was fully justified. Very large orders were offered to-day by English consumers and merchants, and although in some instances they were re fused by the lergeet makers in the anticipation that • further advance may take place before Christmas, others, who have lees faith in the continued pressure of foreign orders, accepted those offered to-day rather freely. Up to the present time the ironmasters have derived little, if any advantage, from the recent advance in the price, most of them having large =executed orders at the old price, which are yet unsatisfied. Pig iron is scarce, and the demand being large and stocks low, prices are not only firm, but another advance is anticipated. Accounts of the manufacturers were paid to-day with that punctu ality for which this district is proverbial. Th e coal. masters are, it is said, projecting a further advance in the price of that commodity, for which the present de mand is enormous. T EE NEW CILINCELLOR.

CHANCERY STAairs.—As already stated, documents stamped are to be used in the Court of Chancery instead of money payments. Further, it is declared by the same Act (15th and 16th of Victoria, chap. 87), that it shall be law ful for the Lord Chancellor to direct any of the officers of the Court of Chancery whose duties may be diminished in con+ sequence of the substitution of stamps for money payments or otherwise to act, under the directions of the Commis sioners of Inland Revenue, in the soli and distribution of all or any of the stamps to be used. Should it be inconvenient for any officer of the court to act, then the Commissioners of Inland Revenue may appoint a person or persons to sell the same, and to allow a discount or poundage. Any officer or other person guilty of fraud or wilful neglect in relation to stamps, w h ere by fees are lost or evaded, is to be liable to dismissal. A meeting of the shareholders of the Victoria Docks has been appointed for the 29th inst., to consider the propriety o f applying to Parliament for power to extend the i original plans and to raise a farther shara capital of 400,0001. I) T HE DEPOSIT and GENERAL. LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. _ Chief Office, 22, Moorgate-street, London. The new and peculiar feature of this Company is the Deposit Sys tem of Assurance, combining the advantages of a Savings' Bank with a Life Assurance Company. By this plan a person may invest any sum, from 11. upwards, and, without any further payment, at once secure a Policy for a certain amount commensurate with the age of the party and the amount deposited. He may also increase his payment, and thereby increase his assurance, decrease it by with drawing any sum at any time, or he may draw eut all he has paid in. For example :—A person, aged Twenty-five, depositing 101. with the Company, will at once secure a Policy for 261. 125. 3d., payable at death, whenever it should happen, with fall power to increase, decrease, or draw our the 101. he has deposited. The humblest indi vidual may, therefore, reap many of the advantages or ordinary Lice Assurance, and, at the same time, possess all the facilities of a bank ing account.

EXTENSIVE SLIP ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. On Wednesday morning the traffic on the main line of the Great Northern Railway w as su dd en l y i nterru pt e d by an exteusive" slip ” of earth i n the Sp i tta i- gate cut tings about a mile south of Grantham . It appears that the stratum through which the cutting is formed consists of marl and clay .and alluvial soil, and that the late heavy rains having penetrated into the cracks and fissures at the cutting and expanded the soil at the bottom, the west side suddenly gave way about four o ' c lock on Wednesday morning, under the vibration of a heavy goods train which was proceeding northwards. Some thousands of tons of earth fell upon both lines of rail, burying the engine and foremost trucks of the train, which of course was brought to a standstill. The engine-driver and stoker both escaped unhurt, and they at once proceeded t o t h e Grantham stat i on to give the alarm. On examination it was found that the down rails had been complet e ly f orce d from their bed, and with the engine and t en d er d epos it e d o n the other line of rails. The slip extended 100 yards, and it is not t he first that has occurred here. The obstruction was so great that it was feared some days at least mus t elapse before the t ra ffi c could be resumed. Mr. D en i s on, the chairman of the Great Northern Company, visited the scene of the accident in the course of the morning, and a large force of men were employed to clear the line. The through-passenger trains were forwarded from Peterborough to Redford by way of the loop. By dint of extraordinary exertions, day and night, the up - lin e was clear e d yesterday morning in time to allowed of the morning express w hi c h conveye d th e D uc hess of Kent and her saite. - - OPENING of the KING'S CROSS TER 3III VC S ' Yesterday the splendid terminus of the Great Northern Railway at King's.cross was opened for public traffic, and the event, throughout the entire day, attracted hundreds of persons to thu vicinity of the station. Cap tain Laffau, the Government lnspector, accompanied by Mr. Seymour Clarke, the general manager. Mr. Lewis Cubitt, the architect, with Mr. Brassey, the engineer, and other gentlemen connected with the railway, went over the line and the tunnel under the llegent'a Canal, near the Imperial Gasworks, on Wednesday , e nd the gallant officer having given the necessary certificate as to the soundness of the lines of rail, the first train started for York yesterday morning from the new terminus at seven o'clock, in the presence of a very large number of persons, notwithstanding the earliness of the hour, the train being drawn by one of Cratnpton'a engines. No ceremony took place, but in consequence of the large number of persons assembled on the platforms through out the day and in the vicinity of the station, it was deemed necessary, in addition to an enlarged number of the railway police, under the orders of Mr. Superinten dent Williams, also to have a detachment of the S divi sion of metropolitan police on duty, under the direction of Inspector Chacapneys. Notwithstanding the incom plete state of the general building, the vvaitingnrooms are elegantly fitted up, and furnished with a due regard to the consort and convenience of the passengers. The entire station was lighted up on Wednesday evening, WM from its ea,o, wtsguituJo, uala thu ip...tuacane• nuluber of lights the appearance was that of a grand illumination. All the trains departed and arrived throughout the day (yesterday) without the slightest accident. THE MURDER IN SHEPHERD-STREET. Mr. Langhece, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held the inquest yesterday, at the Duke of York public house, Shepherd-street, Oxt'ord-strect, on the bcdy of Ann Matthews, alias Brown, aged 51, who was mur dered by her nephew, James Phillips, who resided with her at No. 11 in the same street. The evidenco wos substantially the same as that which had been already given before the magistrates on Monday last, with the exception of the post nzortem examination, which was made on Tuesday by Mr. Francis Clarke, surgeon, of No. 14, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, who was called into the house at the time of the occurrence, on Saturday night. Mr. Clarke stated that on exam i n i ng the body he found numerous bruises of long standing, and an abrasion and blow of recent date on the left hip, as if caused by a boot; the flesh was of a black and dark green colour, extending rcund to the loins. On removing the !,cull-cap and dura matea, the surface and vessels of the brain were loaded with venous coagulated blood, and there were patches about the size of a five shilling piece on each side of the head, but considerably larger on the left side than the right, The rest of the body was remarkably healthy. He attributed the cause of death to concussion of the brain, and he believed the blows on the temple had caused the concussion, as the internal appearances corresponded with the marks out side. Either of the blows was quite sufficient to produce death, especially that on the left side, which was enough to crush an .ox. He laid no stress on the stamping on the stomach of the deceased by Phillips, as he found no marks to correspond to that statement. This being the whole of the evidence, the coroner summed up, when the jury returned a verdict ;of " Wilful murder" against James Phillips; and the proceedings terminated. --- SOCIETY FOR RELIEF OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS OF MEDICAL MEN IN LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. —A half yearly general court of the members was held on Wednesday evening, at the society's new rooms, in the house of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Satiety-, Berners-street, Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, Bart., tte president, in the chair.
