s the train hefcre him and going at the speed th . ista f , miles an hour, ought to has e checked his Teed at the dis tance of half a mile from tne train in front. lam net aware that there was anything to prevent his seeing the Liverpool train. At this place we can see a train when it is at the distance of a mile hence. The place where the tegineer and firemen stand is on the engine, and the fireman has to go upon the tender to apply the break in order that the engine might be stopped. I did not see the Oita man apply the break. I harl not any conversation either with the guard or the fireman after the accident. I did not hear that any of them were hurt. It is the duty of the engineer to look out for the trains before them, and then it is the duty of the fireman to " fire up" and to assist the engineer. It is usua l to ho i st a red flag at this station when passo.sgers want to go by the eccond class train to Liveraeasi. The Birmingham train was drawnby the Meet" engine, and it l e f t M anc h ester at h a lf- past tame o'clock. The distance from Manchester to this place is twelve miles. Ido not know the name of the deceased, hut she was going to Wigan. I ascertained this from find ing her railway ticket to Wigan in her pocket. She had thirteen shillings in her pocket, and a reticule containing some caps and other clothes. Shc appeared to be about 50 years o; age. She wore a brown gown and black satin bennet, and is a little, spare woman, with ou t a ring on h er tinge , . Th ere were on ly two other persons hurt. he deposition of Warburton, a plate-layer, was taken, James Collier then deposed as fellows ;--I am an engi neer employed on the Bolton Railway, and broealit- up the Bolton tr a i n f rom B o l ton on S aturday nigist, and b assisted in removing two mf the carriages 'upon the Liverpool line. I saw the Grand jenetien train coming up at a distance of half a mile, was travelling at a great speed. I s "a , upon my own engine, and when I saw the train coming I . .inv.ped off the engine and told my fireman to stop the emfaie. 1 said I was sure that some one would he killed. I rai! to the carriages, and in an instant the train passed me and ran against the carriages. The train was going_ very quica a t th e t i me. O ne o f the Liverpool guards asked me to move the Birmingham engine, but I could net do that as the reversing lever had been tied. The buffer of the Birmingha m engine was broken, and lay under the ulieels. The reversing lever was strained, and it had been tied, in order that it might not fall out of gear. He might have cut the string with a knife, and then he could have reversed the engine. It is customary to tie up the reversing levers when they get strained. If they are not tied they will slip, and cause the engine to revers e it se lf. I went to if any. person was under th coaches, but I could not see anybody. The surgeon's evidence and that of' some other persons having been received, The CortotvEa said it appeared that the more serious charge was removed. Had the engineer seen the train, and had still pressed on, it would have been a case of wilful murder. But this part of the ease was not borne out, but from the evidence of the witnesses the case would be let down to manslaughter only against the engineer and fire man. If they thought it a case of mere accident, then they would find a verdict accordingly. He thought, however, that justice would not be done to the public otherwise than by their returning a verdict of manslaughter. The Jury having been left in the room by themselves, consulted for a few minutes, and then returned a verdict, " That the accident had happened from the neglect of the engineer and fireman of the Birmingham train." This verdict being tantamount to a verdict of man slaughter, - the Coroner made out his warrant for the ap prehension and committal of the fireman and engineer of the Birmingham engine. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD'S FRACAS AT BERGEN. CHRISTIANA, AtiQtrsT 30.—Mr. Fietxentz, master of police at Bergen. Las sent into the department of Justice and Police R tops , of an examination made in the Chamber of Police at Bergen, on the 14th inst., at the request of the British Consul, in consequence of a complaint lodged by the friends of the Marquis of Waterford, of the plea sure yacht Charlotte, from London,- belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron. The first witness examined was the watchman, Brynild Larsen Hamre, forty-four years of age, who deposed that while on his post at the Helvkand Height, at eleven o'clock in the evening of the 11th instant, he had heard loud voci ferations down in the New-way. On the side of the hill he met a woman with a man's hat on, and by her side a man without a hat. Hearing that the man, who was dressed in a white smock-frock, was a stranger, he (the watchman) ordered the woman to be quiet. They paid no attention to his (the watchman's) remonstrance, and the stranger stooped, lifted up a stone, and advanced to wards him. He (the watchman) wished to make the stranger incapable of mischief by giving him a smart blow on the right arm ; but, as the latter stooped at the mo ment to catch hold of him, the blow unintentionally came upon the head, and the stranger fell. The fire officer on duty, Mr. Albert Mohn, a merchant, said he had come up on hearing a blow given, and seeing A man fall. The watchman appeared to him to be sober, but the Englishman seemed to be intoxicated. The morn ing star used on this occasion was a stick with an iron spike at one end, and a bullet at the other ; it was the latter end that the watchman struck, and the bullet was broken off by the blow. Anne Catherine Uldenhoft, twenty-three years of age, resided with two other girls at the public-house of Hoffet, in Nostest. After eleven o'clock in the evening, on .the 11th instant, six or seven Englishmen came to the house, and one of them had gone out with her to take a walk over the New Way. He had put his hat on her head before leaving the house. He took a bottle out of his pocket and put it to his mouth, but, observing that the cork was still in it, he burst into a loud laugh. At that moment the watchman came up, abused them for making a noise, and, with his morning star, struck the Englishman on his back, at which the hater laughed louder than before. They then went over the Halvkands Height, passing the watchman, but, as the Englishman continued to laugh out aloud, she was not able to get away from him till the watchman came up, and struck him a blow, which threw him on the ground. Dr. A. Heiberg, town-physician, deposed on the 16th that the blow had fallen on the right temple, and had in flicted a wound which had pierc:,A to the bone. A c.)tisi derable swelling and a discolouring of the skin ensued sub sequently, extending over the whole temple and eyelid. Nearer to the cranium were two superficial wounds of no importance. The blow must have been struck with extra ordinary force, and had occasioned so severe a concussion of the brain that the 'Marquis's life was still in danger. On the back there was no in:irk of a blow having been given ; but on the loins there is a round blue spot of the size of a evidently occ , :nioned by some external act of violence. The farther examination was then adjourned till his Lordship's recovery. The last accounts from Bergen arc to the inst., when he was getting better, and was con- i sidered out of danger. VIOLENT OUTRAGE. A letter from Innspruck, of the 6th instant, has the fol lowing :—" A barbarous outrag,e, was lately committed in Carpacia upon two English gentlemen, Mr. Glcig and his son. While travelling from Agram to Fiettine, they were attacked on the 13th of August, about, 25 English miles from the latter place, by a body of thirty or forty peasants, :-nd after a stout but fruitless resistance, overpowered. The r &Luis assailed them, without the slightest provocation with large stones an d st i c k s, an d some even with muskets. They endoavoured to defend themselves by presenting pis-. gals at their assailants, and once Mr. Gleig fired over their heads, but the shot not having taken effect, seemed only to irritate them the more. They closed round Mr. Gleig, and as he still abstained from taking life, beat him to the ground. In this situation be must Lave been ki1le;1, had not. his son, a youth of 13, discharged his pistol among the ruffians, which, drawing their attention tar a moment from his father, g v e the latter ar t opportunit' to recover his feet, and a short sword which he fortunately carried with him. Of this wea pon he made such good use, that he in his turn deli vered the gallant boy from the hands of four men with whom he was ;true - gling. The result, however, was that, on an assurance front the leader of the assault, the Richter, or magistrate, of the village of Marlavoditn, that no harm would come to thorn, as they sh-Juld be carried before Count Lie t htenstein, t h ey gave of their arms, and were imme olia ely made prisoners ; tb' were then dragged into tae Dorf-tickler's cotta ge and bleeding . and the re , with wounds still op en , profe e l y , by ruffi:lo: they were , kept all night, guard e d who Wrank, and smoked, and, from time to time., nade signs as if they intended to murder them. The baggage, papers, a a i n ici d ... money of these gentlemen were ail taken from them, seemed desperate, when, uhout midnight, there fo n r e t ir u c" ; Fieurne, M.

To him, w g ho spoke En y :lis n li sis Mr. Glef.g made known his ease, and he lost not a moment in :ending off an express for Mr. Hill, the British Vice-consul Ficome. Having been kept in this manner all night, Mr. Gleig and his son were on the morrow carried back as prisoners to the town of Logue. Here the authorities put Mr. G. in thains ; while the Stoot-richter, or judge of the district, before whom he was taken, refused, in spite of passports, and Various letters to persons of rank in Germany, to believe that he was not what the peasants represented him t o b e , a spy or a ro bb er . N o o rders were given to dress his wounds, which continued to bleed a good deal, and he was ordered back to Agram. But just as the waggon wi.s brought round for the purpose of removing him, Mr. Hill arrived. The latter gentleman had proceeded to the go vernor of Fieume, immediately on receiving the express, and procuring from him every necessary assistance, lie hastened to the relief of his countrymen. Nor could any functionary behave in a like case with greater firmness, discretion, and ability. Mr. Gleig's release was not only obtaincd, but Coe ruffian who began li n t rfAtived a en the spot, the now lls ankio'es to appear just qs ht had prcr;ou:ly been t o bilmon`r a bar mob.

A numerous Vett"ry Meeting of the Parlshieertt if Christchurch, Surrey, was held yestrt-tistV in the Ulinrch; on the requisition of the ,C i nt•ehwardens, to make ix Church -rat e for the necessary repairs and 'el'eini , irot of the Church. ati to authorise the Chur , .":ll . -;;Arilens out of streh rate 615 , 0 to pay the expertr. - et "oE the parish clerk, ligl&ng, warming, and eleen-L=lng the Church, pew-openers, r.!e?.o and vestenroom keeper, the sacramental Inted and wine-, the nr.gan, clock, expenses of the 'v6itatien, the appaiiier't and registrar's fees,' end divers other expenses h attendant upon the decent performance of divine wtrstrip in the parish Chureh. (being the charges and npenses of the like nature ivreurred by preceding Chnrchwardens), with suell vnrtations or additions as the current year of alliee They require." The Chair was taken hv. IT. MArLuroN, the Rector, end the attend:lnce wee aceedingly numerous. Mr. ZET - rertrzeK'sT moved that a rate. or :.>„(1. in the pound he granted ; and Mr. Joel SC'eanded the motion. Ur. IlAwEs said no 'Tatou whatever had been given for the proposing of a Church -rate, and that wet a strong ar gument against the granting of one on the present occasion. He, however, did not nicest to lay hold of the rate this morning, but inteeded to show that the morncnt which had been selected for calling the re,;;try was most unjust and unfelt-. Mr. Hawes concluded by moving as an amend event a resolution to the triect, that it is manifestly unfair to hold a vestry meeting for the decision of important parochial business, when, by,the accidental circumstance of the poor. rate of Is. in the pound having been made, a large portion of the inhabitants of the parish, without any neglect on their part, ore deprived of their votes ; and that it is the opinion of the vestry, that to allow a fair and reasonable time for the payment of the last rate, it be adjourned till Thursday the I.2th of October.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. A PSLET PEDLATT, in an able speech of considerable length, seconded the amendment. After some angry discussion had taken place, The CHAIRMAN said he granted a poll as demanded on the question of the amendment for an adjournment, the poll to commence at the close of the general business of the day, and to continue until four o'clock in the afternoon ; to commence again to-morrow morning at nine, and finally close at four in the afternoon. The poll to be taken ac cording to Sturges Bourne's Act.--(Great disapprobation.) In the event of the amendment being negatived, the vestry would be continued at nine o'clock on Saturday morning, on the original motion of a Church-rate. Mr. HAWES said his object was to give time to the poorer classes to pay their rates. He wished to inform those who had supported the amendment, that on Saturday morning he would move an adjournment again, and trusted to carry adjournments as many times as would make up the month which he had originally proposed. The sole object of doing so was to enable the whole of the parishioners to express their opinions on this important subject.—(Loud and repeated cheering.) The Vestry Clerk then proceeded to take the poll. CHELSEA REFORM DINNER, A numerous meeting of the electors of Chelsea, Ken sington, Brompton, and Fulham, was held yesterday at the Stag Tavern, Fulham-road, for the purpose of establishing a Reform Association for the support of Liberal principles, for attending to the registration of voters, and for the more effectual protection of the Reformers of that district. The company sat down to dinner at five o'clock, H. Warburton, Esq., 'M.P., in the chair. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts had been given, The CHAIRMAN rose and said that he then came to what might be more especially called the business for which they were met together. They all knew the fate of the late Middlesex election, and by what acts the Tories had succeeded in partially defeating the Liberal party. He held in his hand a printed circular, issued at a general meeting of the Middlesex Conservative Registration Com mittee, which entered into various details upon the subject of the re g istration. Th a t C omm i ttee, relying upon their exertions for the last two years, calculated upon having a a majority of I,l79—(Cries of " Oh, oh!" and laughter.) This was doubtlessly greatly exaggerated, but still there could be no doubt that that party had most strenuously exerted themselves to manufacture votes, and there was no question that the majority which they had obtained was owing to those exertions. The course to be pur sued by the Liberal party must naturally present it self to every mind. They knew that the leader of the Conservative party had said that it was before the Revising Barrister that the battle was to be fought. 'Were they, then, to sit idle 9 Were they to do nothing to meet the exertions of the other party If they did not exert them selves at the registration their exertions in Committees at the time of the election would go for nothing ; and as often as an election took place they would assuredly be beaten. With these things before their eyes, if they remained quiet and did nothing, they must make up their minds to be re gularly beaten.—(Cries of " No, no r) The result of the late election, though most unfortunate, inasmuch as they lost Mr. Hume, was anything but discouraging, because the Liberal party polled fifty per cent. more than nt any former election,—(Loud cheers.) The course he had taken at the close of the late election was this. He established an office for the purpose of raising objections and meeting objections made by the other party. He had advanced for this purpose 20 01,—(Cheers.) If this plan were generally and actively adopted, if they had a Committee, whose re gular duty it would be to attend to this object, he did not despair of the success of the Liberal cause. He had made inquiries as to the expense of such a Committee, and he found that looking at it in the most economical point of view, it could not be less than 5001. a-year. But what was this sum scattered over such a constituency as that of Middlesex ?—Cheers.) He knew that Mr. Byng, Mr. Whitbread, and many other staunch Reformers, would at once subscribe.—(Cheers.) But this would not be enough. It was necessary that the electors also should exert them selves by attending to the registration of the district to which they belonged.--(Cheers.) It was for this purpose that they were assembled, namely, to form en association to attend to the Reform interest in this particular district. There should be a local association in every district ; but there should be also a central association to attend to the whole eouaty. He trusted that the electors would come forward to defend and protect their own in terests, and he could promise them, if they did so, the most complete success.—(Che e rs,) The Hon. Gentleman con cluded by proposing " The healths of Mr. Hume and Mr. Byne."—(Lonsl cheers.) Mr. HUME rose to return thanks, and was most enthu sisstiedly received. Ho said it was quite true that lie had been defeated in the county ; and he was satisfied from what had conic to his knowledge since the election, that the large addition to the number who voted for him was owing to the cfforts of the Tories, who registered many persons whom they supposed friendly to themselves, hut who proved themselves staunch Reformers. He hoped they would bear in ailed what had been said by their Hon. Chairman 'se to the necessity of attending to the registra tion. If they wished to see the metropolitan county freed from ins present situation of being a mere blank in the le gishture, they must adopt the means pointed out. — (Cheers.) Whether he was Member for Middlesex or for Kilkenny, or any other place, it would make no difference M his effects on behalf of the people.---( Loud cheers.) Ho now stood before them, as he had always stood before them, the uncompromising opponent of Aristocratic Tory ism, and the determined advocate of popular power.— (Cheers.) All power originated from the people, and every aesvernment should look to the welfare of the community generally, and not to the selfish interests of the few.— (Cheers.) Ile had always endeavoured to diminish the unholy influence of the few, and because he had never compromised, and he trusted to God he never should, the Tories were as decidedly opposed to him as he was to them. There was therefore no love lost between them. He was one of those that had been too sanguine in his ex pectation of the benefits that would arise from the Reform Bill. But if that Bill was not found to give the people a full command in the representation, it should be extended so as to do so. He considered that the Ministers were hound to carry out the principles of the Reform Bill. He, for his part, had always been the strenuous advocate for in creasing the power of the people, and he knew no better means of doing this than by adopting the Vote by Ballot.— ( Loud cheers.) There should, however, be at the same time an extension of the suffrage.—(Renewed cheering.) It was by adopting the plan proposed by his Honourable Foiend, their Chairman, and by pursuing that plan with prudence, firmness, and activity, that they must alone hope to secure the objects nearest to the heart of every true Re former.—(Loud cheers.) He would promise that he, for one, would be always found at his post. He would con clude by most sincerely thanking them for the honour they had done him.—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the " Health of her Ma jesty's Ministers," which was drunk with loud cheers. Several other toasts followed ; and resolutions were agreed to, pledging the meeting to form such an Associa tion as that referred to. Mr. Warburton being obliged to I retire, the Chair was filled during the remainder of the evening by Sir J. S. Lillie. The festivities were kept up to a late hour, and the utmost unanimity and good feeling prevailed throughout. WA.I . ; POIi.TUCAL; -• '•• q '•- - I';`l"r7:t . • rt:!,t,GLAPiitu DESPATCHES.

" The division whirh follows me has made this day a most painful march of eight leagues, in the course of which no water could be obtained for the men nor for the horses. But, in spite of this privation, the march was effected in the hest spirit and order. Four men who belonged to the rebel infantry, and who were placed in the rear guard, were captured, but it appears to me that the troops belong ing to that force (the infantry) are made to march in the midst of the cavalry, sn that the great desertion which is apprehended may be prevented. "At daybreak I shall march from this place, and to morrow morning I shall probably enter Santarem, whence I will pursue the rebels, and do my best to prevent them having a moment's rest. " God preserve your Excellency. " Baron DO BOMFIM. " Head quarters at Rio Mayor, Sept. 3, 8 o'clock, p.m. " Viscount de I3obcda." " Most Excellent Senhor,—At daybreak I march from Rio Mayor with try division in pursuit of the rebels who, as I was informed, having passed the night in Grainho, and having advanced to nearly within cannon-shot of Santarem, rapidly continued their march by Alcanhocs and Alviela to Gollega, where I suppose they now are. By mid day I and my division entered this town, which I find in the best state of defence. It would be my wish to leave as soon as my troops have had a few hours' rest ; but the very long march of 12 leagues—viz., from Leiria —which they effected in the short space of 32 hours, has so much fatigued them, that I think it impossible to quit this place before morning. I will, however, do all that can be done. I have received information that the rebels arc endeavouring to pass to the south of the Tagus, hut as yet I do not know whether they will not, on the con trary, proceed to Lower or Upper Beira. They are in a state of the greatest fatigue. The infantry are continually deserting ; and of their horses, one was left dead in the Grainho, and another in Malaquejo. I am much fatigued, and conclude with assuring your Excellency that the troops maintain the best order and discipline, and are animated by the greatest enthusiasm. " God preserve your Excellency, " Baron DO BOMFIM. " Head-quarters at Santarem, Sept. 4, 1837. " Viscount de Bobeda." Extract from a Report addressed to the Cortes by the Portuguese Minister of the Interior, dated the sth inst.:-- . " In the south the necessary measures for suppressing the revolt have been adopted ; but as the Government is not yet certain whether the brigade which has come from Spain is or is not in a state of insurrection, the difficulties which may remain to be overcome cannot be exactly stated. Meanwhile, I can say, that the brigade is composed of a corps of Cacadores and two of infantry, and, I believe, half a brigade of infantry, without cavalry. These corps are not numerous ; for, according to the dispatches of Vis count das Antas, they do not exceed 600 men. On the contrary, the brigade which remains in obedience to the orders of the Viscount consists of about 2,000 men. The Government is confident that this brigade will remain faithful, not only to the protest, but to the oath which these troops have recently taken. It is a sufficient proof of this good disposition, that when the commandant of the second brigade solicited the commandant of the first to join him, he refused, and communicated the letter to the Viscount das Antas, who sent an officer with the intelli gence to the Government. This officer is now in the gallery of the Cortes, and will return with the Government dis patches. He confirms what the Viscount das Antas has stated respecting the good disposition and enthusiasm of the Ist brigade. If it took the road to Almeida, it must now be on the Portuguese territory, and if it marched for Bra ganzs, it will be near the frontier. On the 28th, the date of the Viscount's despatch, he had not determined which route he should take. The Government, in the despatches sent to him, has given him full powers to act against the insurgents, according to circumstances, as may appear best. This much as to what relates to the North. I have, how ever, still to add, that further forces have been sent to Oporto —troops whose numbers will not only augment the physical force, but by their unshaken fidelity very much augment the moral force. " Now as to the operations in the South. The rebels left Alcobaca between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night of the 2d of September, and on the 3d approached within half a league of Santarem, where preparations were made to oppose teem. But they declined the encounter, and yesterday (the 4th) quitted the vicinity of Santarem between b and 6 o'clock. At 9 o'clock on the same day Baron do Bomfim was two leagues off, and at mid-day he en tered Santarem. At 4 o'clock on the following morning he quitted that place, as appears by the following bulletin, just received : " DY TELEGRAPH FROM SANTAREM. " TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF WAR, FROM THE MILITARY GOVERNOR. " The force comm a nd e d by B aron d o B om fi n l e f t h ere at 4 o'clock this morning with half a battery of horse ar tillery. At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Saldanha's force made its appearance in the greatest dejection. Many sol diers have abandoned him, as I was informed by two men belonging to his cavalry, who came in, and stated that Saldanha was making for the South.' " I say, then, that it is in the direction of the South that that the rebels are now flying before the forces, which inces santly purille them with every hope of shortly coming up with them ; and when once the enemy is overtaken by our troops, I have no doubt of the result, for as the enemy was beaten, as is well known, at Campa da Feira by our troops, though not superior in number to their opponents, he is more likely to be beaten now, stice a foe who is forced to fly naturally loses all spirit, whi!e the courage of the pursuer is only increased by pur suit. With regard to the North, I have unreservedly dis closed the truth, acquainting the Congress with all the in formatien received by the Government, and, in ,accordance with the determination of the Ministry, I shall continue to act in this way. If any information from the North beyond what the Government has communicated exist, it may be true, but the Government has no knowledge of it, and it certainly is not official. I have a right, therefore, to pre sume it all to be just as authentic as the rumours lately rife in the c,tpital. The conclusion at which I have arrived is, that the cause we support must triumph, and that the revolt will be crushed. At the same time Ido not deny that the insurrection has increased : to deny that would be to be wanting to truth, and to exhibit public affairs in a 'els: light ; but it is certain that the Government ; notuvith standing, does not suppose that the hostile cause will pre vail, but rather supposes that which I have stated, and that not lightly." A letter from Paris, from a source which has the means of obtaining correct information, mentions that it is now decided the Chamber shall be dissolved. M. Guizot had an interview with the King in the evening of Sunday, and it appears understood that the influence of the govern ment will not be used to prevent the return of that gentle man's supporters, but, on the contrary, that their election is wished for in a high quarter. M. Guizot was to leave Paris on Tuesday evening for the country. The Russian Prince and Princess Gagarin and family left town yesterday to visit the Duke of Devon shire's Burlington villa : and they also, attended by Mr. Gould, of the London Hotel, inspected the extensive brewery of Sir Henry Meux, over which concern they were conducted by one of the partners in the firm. His highness expressed himself highly gratified. THE "MONARCH " AND " APOLLO."—Yestcr day morning, on the Inquest -court being opened, the Co roner addressed the Jury, and said he had received a com munication from the parties engaged in raising the Apollo, which stated that while the ~rind continued so high it was impossible for the persons employed under water in th e pro cess for raising the Apollo to proceed n the undertaking ; and as it was uncertain how long the wind might continue so high as to prevent their proceeding, and as the bodies of the children, most probably, would not be found till the Apollo was raised, he thought it might be expedient to ad journ some days, to give sufficient time for accomplishing that Object. He would, therefore propose that the inquest should be adjourned to Tuesday, the 26th inst., and if the bodies should - be found much before that time, the Jury could be summoned ; but if the adjournment he proposed was agreeable to the Jury, and the gentlemen concerned for the parties interested in the inquiry, he thought it might be a convenient course of proceeding. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ryder expressed their perfect concurrence in the course pointed out by the Coroner. The Jury also expressed their concurrence, and the Coroner adjourned the inquest to Tuesday, the 26th inst. Yesterday morning a respectable female, named The Earl , Mary Smith, about 48 years of housekeeper t o M r. ing fast. of Sefton is ou t of dan g er, and recover- Lamb, a builder, residing at Y.Roington, committed su i c id e i by hanging herself.

The Devon and Somerset Stag-hounds had a good day's sport on Friday last, killing their stag, after a five hour's Chace, in the lawn of J. Worth, Esq., near Tiverton. The deer was roused first above Baron's-down, the seat of Mr. Lucas, and immediately crossed the park for the woods under that mansion, and from thence crossed the old Minehead turnpike into Swinescleave, and through Birchcleave into Haddon ; beating these extensive covers for some time, he left them by Wind-corner, and came to water in the Haddon, first above Bury ♦illage, then over Haddon farm to Chapple and Frog well, in the parish of Skilgate ; he here crossed the Watchet turnpike for Morebath, and passed close by the seat of Mon tague Bere, Esq., and went down the valley to Dummel moors, thence over the hill for the Batherun, which stream he kept to Bampton, going under the bridge in that town, leaping the high flood-gates, for the meadows, below which he kept to the limekiln, and then crossed over for the river Exe, which be took just above Stuckeridge bridge, and went down the water : breaking from it some distance above Covelridge, he ran the covers, and by Highwood betook himself for Stoodley, but was so bard pressed as to be again obliged to retarn to the Exe, about a mile below Cove. After beating the water for some time, he tried to escape his pursuers by leaving it for the covers above Washfield, but backed it once more for the river by Stanterton Combe, and after swimming through the Weir ut Bollam, went down the water to his resting-place at Worth. When it is considered that this pack have been got together since the Ist of June, it is no small credit to them to kill their game over almost the worst country they have, and with the rivers swollen to their banks by the late rains. ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. A melo-drama, in two acts, called The Highland Cate ran, was performed at this theatre last night, with great and well-merited success. It is reported to be from the pen of Mr. William Murray, the manager of the Edinburgh Theatre. The subject of the piece consists of the adven tures and escapes of Macdonald of Borisdale, a Highland gentleman, who, 'having resisted the power of Cromwell's government, had been driven to become, like Rob Roy, an out-law and " a broken man." A price has been set upon his head, and parties of English soldiers are in pursuit of him. He loves and is beloved by Lilias Logan, the daughter of Walter Logan, a stout-hearted farmer, who, approving of his passion, conceals him in his house. The house is beset by English soldiers, in consequence of information which leads them to suspect that he is there. While they are de manding instant admittance, Macdonald hastily assumes the bonnet and plaid of Jock Muir, the shepherd, who hap pens to be in another apartment. The soldiers enter and find the firmer and his (laughter, and the pretended shep herd busy over a bowl of crowdy in a corner. While he is personating Jock with great success, Jock himself suddenly enters, and a scene ensues at once ludicrous and interest- ing. Jock's surprise is on the point of betraying every thing ; but the farmer and Lilias overwhelm him with wel comes and greetings, bestowing upon him the name and character of a neighbouring farmer come to pay them a visit. The gentle folks sit down to table with the sergeant of the English party, while the soldiers place themselves on the watch within and without, and the pretended shepherd ascends to his cock-loft. The supposed guest, by way of making the En;lishmen drunk, plies them with . whisky, and plays the boon companion so well that one of the sol diers falls under the table, and the others drop asleep in the act of endeavouring to sing in chorus " Willie brew'd a peck o' maut." Macdonald comes down from his lair, and is slipping out of the house, when he observes the sen- tinels stationed outside, but disguising himself in the equip ments of one of the sleepers, he contrives to exchange places with one of the sentinels, who is glad to be relieved and allowed to join the convivialities within. Macdonald thus escapes, and the scene concludes amid the consternation and confusion of the baffled pur suers. This is the most remarkable scene of the piece. It is highly wrought, containing a rapid suc cession of amusing and yet exciting incidents, and a great deal of very lively and characteristic dialogue. The second act is more melodramatic. Logan is about to ex piate with his life the crime of having aided the escape of the outlaw. Tidings of his situation, however, are con veved by Jock Muir to Macdonald in his mountai❑ re treat. The old man is brought out to be shot ; but, as he is taking a last farewell of his daughter, also a prisoner, Macdonald, with a party of his followers, accompanied by Jock Muir, suddenly assail the party of military execu tioners. A desperate encounter takes place ; the soldiers are defeated and driven off ; and the curtain falls, rather abruptly, while the victors form a tableau expressive of joy for the deliverance of the captives, and the prospect (it must be imagined) of the happiness of the lovers. The piece was admirably performed. Brindall had the manly and spirited bearing of the Highland chief ; and Diddcar acted the old farmer with much propriety and feeling. Jock Muir, the sly, cool, ready-witted Scottish peasant, is a picture drawn by the author with the pencil of Scott ; and M'lan did it ample jus tice in the representation. In the battle between the highlanders trnd the soldiers, a single combat with broad svvords takes place between 'Allan and Goadby, who per sonates one of the soldiers, which was much more like fighting in earnest than such •exhibitions usually are. There was something in the tiger-like mixture of caution and ferocity of M'lan's movements, which gave a fearful notion of highland broad-sword fighting. Miss Horton was pleasing and interesting in Lilies Logan, and sang a Scotch ballad very sweetly. Her costume might, without any im propriety, have been a little more recherche. There was some very pretty scenery, apparently new, and the whole getting up of the piece was highly credit able to the theatre. The house was crowded in every part. The piece was announced for repetition amid great applause, and will undoubtedly be very popular. The Queen has been graciously pleased to grant to Mr. Elmer, the architect, her permission to dedicate his " Historical, Commercial, and Scientific Survey of the Har bour and Port of London," of which he is surveyor, to her Majesty. t,OVi.7•R'IISEMENT. EASTERN couN-riEs RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sut—Ciur dtttntiort has been called to a paraxraoh contain ing the report of the llirettots of this Company to the Pro prietary, recently published in some of the p ros incial journals, vr,d circulated among the proprietors of this undertaking, htil,6,hstanding the extreme repugnance which Wd ttl4 ways entertil to ohtrudo upon the public any matter in which the public is not t l ifr 4 ctlY CcrncQrued, we feel imperatively called upon to notice. The passage to which we allude is in these? waPdg Some prtt of the land required for the London end Chelmsford Division tli'd rrtitected by clauses of the Cora wany's Act, which provide they I+ol not be entered upon wittuout th e consent of the owners first ;lad end obtained ; but the Board hav6 !!'e 01 , ,asure of informing you t:::.tt they have arranged with the whole taf these parties the terms on ;shi s h they will give such consent. Oilier parts of this Divi sion ffiett ere, the proprietors of tthielt have no such protecting clati4eti but who allege that by private agree ments entered into pettding the Bill, they are entitled to exclude the Company utitn certain enormous penal sure; (try paid them, by way of comperts4;ion. The Board allude to the to es of Lord Petre and Mr. Lahovr lere. 'I hey have fully investigated the circumstances of those cases, and base taken the advice of counsel eminent in the law upon them, gntl they arc well satisfied that neither in honour nor in justice, are the alleged agreements binding on the Company. Instructions have been accordingly given to the Company's solicitors to take immediate steps to remove any impediment which the apposition of these parties may possibly throw in the way of 'the Company's operations." We do not think it necessary to go into any detail upon a point in reference to which the report itself goes into norx ; and we would merely observe en passant that whatever opinion may have been given by the counsel alluded to in the report, counsel of the first eminence have also given their opinion that "there is no ground for impeaching the agreements in ques tion at law or in equity, a matter on which we do not ourselves entertain the shadow of a doubt; but without going into other particulars, our more immediate object is to trouble you with espies of only two of the letters which we received in the eetirse of our correspondence with the Eastern Counties Rail way Company, one from their Solicitor, and the other from their Secretary, which, when placed in juxtaposition with the passage id the report above quoted, require no fur ther comment. We mui;t add, that it is within our personal knowledge that such agreements originated entirely with the promoters of the undertaking, that they were bona fide entered into, and that it was agreed and covenanted, in terms as clear and unequi vocal as the English language admits of, that the specific sums there stated should be paid, if and when the property in question was taken possession of. The letters alluded to arc as follow : (From Mr. Duncan, previous to the execution of the Deeds.) " DEAR SIRS,—The deed with Lord Petre has been agreed, and will be executed to-day, as will your deed. I will en gross two copies. I saw Mr. Few yesterday evening, and ar ranged finally.—Yours truly, " April 26, ISM. J. DUNCAN. " We do not go into Committee till Friday. " John Lawford, Esq." (From Mr. J. C. Robertson, the Company's Secretary.) " Eastern Counties Railway Company, 18, Austinfriars, Dec. 8, 1836. " GENTLEMEN,—Messrs. Roy, Blunt, and Company have forwarded to me your letter to them of the 7th inst., that I may reply to your request to be made acquainted with the de termination of the board in reference to the contract made with Mr. Labouchere and his trustees by the late provisional committee of this railway. " I beg therefore to acquaint you, that the Board have comp to no determination on the subject, it being as yet uncertain whether the Company will have occasion to enter any part of Mr. Labouchere's estate. " In the mean while, it may be satisfactory to your client to know, that the Board do not at all question either the legal or honourable responsibility of the Corporation for the engage ments of the late Provisional Committee. " And under these circumstances it is presumed, that whether the common seal is affixed or not to an act of ratifi cation, must be a matter of indifference to Mr. Labouchere. It is a mere act gf formality, which it will be time enough to press for, when it is ascertained that the Company mean to take possession of any part of Mr. Labouchere's lands. " I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, " 3. C. ROBERTSON, Secretary. " Messrs. Lawford." It is with tho utmost reluctance that either Mr. Labouchere or ourselves intrude on public notice matters which arc fitting only for judicial inquiry, and, had it not been for the publica tion of the gratuitous insinuation conveyed by the passage in question, we, as his solicitors, should have suffered, as here tofore, general assertions to have remained unnoticed, and should have contentedly awaited the result of the suit in equity instituted by Lord Petre against the Company for the fulillsnent of the contract entered into with that nobleman, in which his Lordship, having obtained an injunction from the Lord Chancellor so long ago as in December last, restraining the Company from issuing any warrant under the Act of Par liament, for the purpose of summoning a Jury to assess the money to be paid for the purchase of his Lordship's lands, or the sum to be paid as compensation for damage, they have not even yet attempted to disturb it, although by the Chancellor's special permission they were allowed to apply to the Vice- Chancellor to dissolve it, if they saw fit so to do. We are, Sir, your most obedient servants, E. and J. LA WFORD. Drapers'-hall, Sept. 13, 1837. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY AND MR. LABOUCHERE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Eastern Counties Railway Office, Sept. 14. Sta,—ln the Times of to-day there is a letter from Messrs. E. and J. Lawford, the solicitors of Mr. Labouchere, of Hylands, in which they complain of a passage in the last report of the Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway to their proprietary, relating to certain agreements entered into (pending the bill for the Company's act) with Lord Petre and their client Mr. Labouchere. The report states that the Directors have fully investigated the circumstances of these cases, And have taken the advice of counsel emi nent in the law upon them, and are well satisfied that neither in honour nor in justice are the alleged agreements bind ing on the Company." To obviate the effect of this pub lic declaration Messrs. Lawford deem it sufficient to cite " only two of the letters which they received in the course of their correspondence with the Eastern Counties Rail way Company—one from their solicitor (April 26), and the other from their secretary (December B)—which letters, they say, " when placed in juxtaposition with the passage in the report above quoted, will require no further comment." It is to be regretted that Messrs. Lawford did not give the whole of the letters alluded to, or as many of them, at least, as would have exhibited to the public the true state of the case ; in which event I should not have been under the necessity of troubling you with the present explanation. The imputed contradiction consists in this, that in the report it is said "the alleged agreements are, neither in honuur nor i n justice, bind ing on the Company ;" while in the letter cited from the secre tary (Bth December), it is stated that " the board do not at all question either the legal or honourable responsibility of the corporation for the engagements of the late provisional Com mittee." Now, it is only necessary to quote one letter more, which the secretary addressed to Messrs. Lawford, but which Messrs. Lawford have thought proper to keep back, to show that so far from there being any contradiction between these two statements, they are iu perfect accordance with each other. The agreements made by the Provisional Committee were undoubtedly binding on the Directors appointed by the Act of Parliament, but of course only in solar as they would have been binding ass the Committee themselves. The Board did adopt " the engagements" of the Committee, but for no snore than they were worth. They have not disputed, and do not dispute, the validity of the agreements on the ground of their having been made by the Provisional Committee and not by the Directors appointed by the Act of Parliament ; but they object to fulfil them because neither in honour nor in justice could fulfilment of them have been demanded from the Provisional Committee in whose shoes the Directors very willingly stand. The letter kept back is in the following terms : " February 14. " Gentlemen—. Messrs. Roy and Co. having communicated to the board of directors your renewed request to have the com mon seal of this Company affixed to a deed of ratification of she agreement with the t, ustees of Mr. Labouchere, I am desired by the board to bring to your notice that since my letter to you of the Bth December last Lord Petre, with whom an agreement was made similar to that with Mr. Labouchere's trustees, and with whose agents you acted in concert throughout the whole of the negotiations preliminary to both agreements, after having made a like requisition for the common seal of the Company, and being offered the same (subject to such exceptions as may exist in law or equity to the validity of the agreement) has thought proper, notwithstanding that offer, to institute proce edin g s in Chancery against the Company. The board arc advised that, un der these cireumstunces, they cannot consistently separate the case of your clients from that of Lord Petre, or do anything ss hich might be possibly construed into a recognition of a difference between them. To save both expense and time, however, the Board are Killing to enter into an e ngagement to this effect, that should the decision of the Cou rt of Chancery be in favour of the validity of Lord Petre's agreement, they shall hold that with your clients to be equally valid, and . shall forthwith fulfil it to the letter ; but that sliculd the decision of the Court be adverse to the validity of Lord Petre's agreement, your clients shall be bound to be content with such price and compensation for the land required from them for the purposes of the Rail way as shall be awarded by a Jury, in the manner prescribed by our Act of Parliament. I a m, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, (Signed) "J. C. ROBERTSON. " Messrs. Lawford." Messrs. Lawford, in their letter to your journal, say that it was their intention to have " contentedly waited the result of the suit in equity instituted by Lord Petro ;" but it is worthy of notice that to the let t e r j u st quoted, offeriv to leave the question between the Company and Mr. Laboochere to be de termined by the issue of that between the Company and Lord Petro. no answer from Messrs. Lawford has ever been re. ceived. I have only to add, that the question between the Company and Mr. Labouchere, stripped of all adventitious circum stances, is simply this--whether 35,000/. is a right sum for Mr. Labouchere to ask, or for the Company to give, for about ten acres of common meadow land, which he is required to --, I surrender to the Company for the accomplishment of an ob— ject ut the greatest possible public utility.

On applicatieP by the gentlemen who appeared for both sides, Ref ormers and Tories, it was agreed that they should furnish th e Barrister with an estimate of the time which would PT" bably be consumed in the revision of each list , and 'le would then form a list of parishes which would be tak es every clay. By this plan much time will be saved both te parish officers and others, whose attendance is necessary at the Court—if the parish for which they appear or fro which they claim does not appear in the list of the del' they may safely attend to their own business. MARYLEBONE REFORMERS' RB" GISTRATION SOCIETY. A crowded public meeting of the above Society was la t night held in the large room of the Mechanics' Institution, Circus-street, New-road, for the purpose of affording the,. electors of that division of the borough an opportu n ity ' . enrolling their names, and hearing the principles o f tbe Society. The Chair was taken by Dr. WEBB. The SECRETARY having read the minutes of the preced ing mectjng, The CHA: uarnx said he was confident the objects they had met to carry n? to effect would meet the concurrence of every one present, as Society was formed for the Pro tection of the rights and ilaims of all classes of Il e ' formers.—(Cries of " Hear, hea:•.-") They were met for the purpose of opposing the machirn:!dons of the Tories —whose organ, the renegade Times, ha,l that very dal designated them (the electors of Marylebone) as " per jured vagabonds." W r hat ought they to do ? Ought not to spurn it with indignation, and hurl back Ili teeth so foul and base a slander against the true and hog electors of Marylebone.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Wool) then informed the meeting of the objects f th or which the Society had been formed, and expatiated on l conduct of the Tories at the last election, who p rocuren. many votes which were of a spurious character --and he was sure, if a scrutiny had been demanded, Lord Tei P: mouth's minority would have been a great deal less than ib t act M ua was. "tiv r. lly LOVE was exceedingly happy to inform the meet! o of the flourishing condition of the Society, though aspersionl° had been thrown upon them, and ridicule made of the the Tory Press. It proved the fear in which they heldl their proceedings ; and he was sure if the Reform ers vvou t'' ?. concentrate themselves into one body, they would ni mately triumph over the faction by whom they were or posed.—(Cheers.) Mr. SAVAGE said that the principles of the Society no vf in formation in this borough, ought to com;:nand e th earnest attention of all classes of Reformers —they ought not to be biassed by party feelings or trivial co ntention s, unite with energy in one cause, and their victory sc°" be complete—they required unity, and on that their re fiance was placed.—(Hear.) The Tories had sought & most paltry and discreditable mode—to disfranchise the' electors ; and the only chance they relied on wa s the Reformers' want of animation in going before the Revising Barristers to defend their claims to vote. Now then e cessity of the Society was obvious, as it prevented th e elector losing his time in so doing ; and he hoped thef would join heart and hand in so laudable an undertakitl'r and secure by an unanimity of feeling the independence 01 the borough.—(Cheers.) Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting, an d after subscriptions and donations had been entered into .to a large amount, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chair man, and the meeting separated. NATIONAL LOAN SOCIET We beg to point the special attention of our readers an advertisement which will be found in our column thi„ day, headed National Loan Fund Life Assurance St.gic'ifl.. Believing all such societies to be calculated to exercise the. most beneficial influence upon society—to be at once sti mulants to industry and safeguards against want, and. the vicissitudes to which life is liable—we have always gi ve : to them our most strenuous support ; and it has bee°,_ matter of no small satisfaction to us to perceive, tn 3 not only have those which we recommended to the at tention of our readers been successful, but that the); have been almost annually followed by others, bast" upon similar principles, and heirs to similar suee." 3 " England, in fact, can now boast of more Associations for mutual safety, and protection against the vicissitod.s of life, than, excepting the United States, all the couptoes in the world, and what is no less satisfactory, as they CO a " . tinue to increase, so also do they continue to i m prove la principle and in practice, to be more equitable in the f"f; vier, and to be more convenient in the latter respect. is not, however, to be denied that , generally speaking, bile Assurance Associations take more care of then:selves that! they do of the insured, and that the latter not unfrequentl' fail at the object aimed at, either through mere tempered embarrassment . on their owu part, or the reluctance of th e former either to give sufficient value for their policies., er to accommodate them with loans Lion them. 11 1 ° institution to which we refer is intended to renleu): this state of things, and at the same time that 1 ' will insure life to any amount, upon the most moderitte terms, to furni s h th e i nsure d w i t h a l arge portion of the a amount of his paymonts to meet any temporary dem ° which m a y Ire made upon him.

LlvEarooL, THURSDAY Ev - LNIsG.--This morning, about nine o'clock, as a vessel bound from Montreal to this port, called the General Gaseniine, was ikbout entering the river: she struck on a bank called the Middle Patch, and begat' to fill rapidly with water. At the time, she was without pilot. It happened fortunately that a steamer hove ill sight, and her Captain evinced the most praiseworthy crtions to save the crew and passengers of the shipwrecked vessel, in which he was partially successful. In a quence of the wind blowing extremely fresh " t cons the steamer was compelled to make several and tunes only enabled to take off the sufferers from the ginking "r sel by degrees. One elderly female was drowned, I°, ' 2 l - ; tempting to spring from the wreck to the steamer. A 15(* i who had only been confined the previous day, was rescu'; the time, along with her infant. Before all the persons on boa r. a could reach the steamer, the hull of the vessel wa3 benere to the water, and a f ema le who had remained cling in g rigging was compelled to throw herself int o the water' in t order to preserve her life. It is gratifying to state 1113 . she was safely dragged to the steamer by t h e bOat•b 0 0 " of t m he en. The vessel was laden principally with ashes and starers; She had on board 2,000 barrels of ashes , all of which a , I destroyed. Besides the crew, there w ere on board • cabin passengers. The unfortunate calamity must bee°ntt a,1., buted, first to the stormy state of the weather , and se i', e ; to the vessel, at the time of her entering the 'Mersa , ing without a pilot.
