G. BAILLIE, Agent-General for Crown Colonies. The half-yearly general meeting of proprietors held yesterday, at the London Tavern, Bishop. - street, Captain Shepherd, deputy-chairman, press when the report was unanimously adopted. T:_ vidend declared was 2/. per share free of income-tax, but a shareholder (Mr. Ridgway) contended that, looking at the profits, the rate of distribution should have been larger. In answer to this, Mr. Shepherd, the deputy-chairman, who presided, stated that the di trrheeepc,9rtierrhuse: desired to exercise prudence in their manage ment and to place the undertaking on a thorough stable basis before they increased the dividend. They more bad not yet completed their fleet of vessels, and there were also other arrangements to be perfected. After some general observations, the dividend and accounts were then agreed to.

Respecting the latter it may inapplicable.

The expenditure for • provisions' has been considerably augmented by the additional voyages performed, and by the greater num ber of passengers conveyed. Toe charge tor • gene-eel service and stations ' ha, been incrtased by enlarging the company's premise, at Southampton to carry on more extensive repairs of ships a n d machinery con sequent upon the Brazil and River Plate communi cation, and also by au outlay upon the wharfs at St. Thomas and Jamaica. Adverting to the credit side of the account, there is a much greater re ceipt under every head of freight and passage money,' ' outward,' intercolouial,' and homeward,' affording evidence of the success that continues to attend the com puny's operations. The Conway, after undergoing re pair end receiving new boilers, was dispatched to the West Indies as au extra ship ou 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 Ind:a 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 Englisnd and the Brazils has been performed throughout with the most perfect regularity. Respecting the West India line, however, the directors confidently anticipate that when the proposed arrangements shall have been completed, by which largest class ships will be em ployed exclusively between 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 intercolonial 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 the 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 7,0631., at the same time retaining to the Company the site allotted to it at Manzinolla Island, whither workmen and materials have been already sent to construct the necessary wharf 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 FRODI IST JANUARY TO 30TH JUNE, 1852.

It is slightly curved to allow the water to run off, and reminds us very much of the deck of a vessel or the top of some gigantic omnibus without a " knifeboard." The view from it is magnificent, and no description can do it justice. Arrived at the south, or near end of the bridge, the Royal party 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, at Rome, and other masterpieces of archi tecture, so just are the relations of each part to the other, and so severe and simple the style in which the whole has been designed, that at a distance the stu pendous dimensions are not appreciated, and except from beneath there is no way of inspecting it as a Agamemnon, .1 Popular Manual of the Sciences.

Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer, and the Chester and Holy head Railway Company, the proprietors of the gigantic structure, may well feel proud of the com pliment paid to them. In the case of Mr. Stephen son it marks with the highest sanction the genius which enabled him to conceive and the executive ability which he displayed in completing a work so stupendous.

The extension of,the railway system on tee continent, its introduc tion into Denmark, Norway, and Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a natio .al point of view, that the latter should no longer lie 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 ser'es 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 td on, compris ing an extent of 350 miles, by which means the great design of llaiting4te.llaltie and the North Seas will be opeomplished, and, in connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the journey from A. Petersburgh to London tit ill be accomplished in half the time occupied at present; the navigation of the Sound will be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues, together with a saving of fi eight, insurance, and the delay of a long voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on the .North Sea, being accessible during a greater portion of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be contoured 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 winter 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 Koping 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 416,679/., 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 guaranteed 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 observe that the shareholders will be entitled to the entire profits of the railway, which, it is confidently expected, will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into with a responsible English con tractor, from whom security has been taken for the execution 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 secure 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 416,670/. Full powers are granted to the Company of establishing an electric telegraph, with the usual privileges attached thereto Four per cent. intere-t 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-dol.ars banco to the 1/. sterling.

When the best method of raising the tubes was first discussed some thought that it should be done as speedily as possible— that the hydraulic presses should be Bain action without en thoroughly lock on 6atur° min. )olridge, which has completed ,r the Mtditer- Lt Commander lymoath, where any attempt to support by packing underneath the lift, which they accomplished, and that any risk from the failure of tackle in having each tube sus pended without support should be encountered. In this way the lifting might have been done in twenty tour hours, whereas it took three weeks. Mr. Ste phenson, after due consideration, adopted the safe course. He made „tbe six foot lift of the press occupy a period of three hours, and the raising and 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.

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. He maintains that it is more rigid than the ordinary permanent way of earthwork, and further, that it is stronger for the work it has to do than the rails in use on the different lines throughout the country. 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.

By this plan a person may invest any sum, fronl.l/. 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. lie may also increase his payment, and thereby increase his assurance, decrease it by with drawing any sum at any time, or he may draw out all he has paid in.

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 esiabilshmcnt under the above designation, the chief management of which will be vested in a Board of Directors in London. r. 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 Batik 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, turd 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 (le vel() oed and improved by the assistance taus 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 seeure the limitation of liab:lity 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 1,000,0011. sterling ; and in the event of such increase taking place, priority of allotment will be given to the existing share holders, and a port on of such new shares will also be reserved for allotment in the coloules. The capital, in tie first instance, will consist of 500,0001., in 25,000 shares, on which a deposit of 1/. ss. per share is to be paid on allotment; which ~um, after deducting expenses, will be returned in the event of the charter not being obtained. A further instalment of 1/. Cs ,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 ii. 10s. per share.

At the present time, when so many newly-created Insurance Offices are advertising peculiar advantages, the importance of assuring in an office well established must be obvious ; and the Directors of the PROVIDENT CLERKS' ASSOCIATION feel con fidence in callinz the attention of the public to their Institution, which was formed in 1840, under the patronage of the Bank of England and the principal merchants and bankers of London and the provinces, and which offers the following peculiar advantages :- 1. Being enrolled UNDER TILE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' AC n TS, the sum assured can be secured to the WIDOW, WI DOWER, or civatEN without payment of PROBATE and LEGACY DUTY, or the risk of loss by unfortunate circumstances, or the reverses of trade. 2.

Claims paid immediately under discount, and all policies indis putable, except in cases of absolute fraud. 5. Loans ou the security of policies of assurance. 6.

To Clerks in particular this Association, from its Benevolent Fund attached, with an invested capital, offers benefits combined with Life Assurance which no other office can present, as will be seen on reference to the prospectuses, which can be obtained at the office in London, or from the numerous agents in the provinces.

It eppeara that the stratum through which th.) cutting is formed consists of marl and clay and alluvial soil, and that the late heavy rains having pcmetrated into the cracks and fismres at the cutting and expanded the soil at the bottom, the west side suddenly gave •:ay about four o'clock on Wednesclay tnernin7 under the vibration of a heavy goods train which was proceeding northwards. Some thou ands of tons of earth f6l upon both lines of rail, burying the engine and foremost trucks of the train, which of equrso was brought to a standstill. The engino•driver and r>tolttr both escaped unhurt, end t he y at once proceclod to the Grantham station to give the alarm. On examination it was found that the down rails had been completely furred froth their bed, and with the engine and tender deposited on the other line of rails, The slip extended 100 yards, and it is not the first that has occurred here. The obstruction was a° great that it was feared some days at least must Elapse before the traffic could be resumed. Mr. Denison, the chairman of the Great Northern Company, v isited thq scene of the a cc id ent in the course of the morn ing, and a large fotce of men were employed to clear the line. The through-passenger trains wore forwarded from t Peterborough t o R edford by way of the loo p. din of extraordinary exert i ons, day and night, the up -lino was clear e d yesterday morning in time to a ll ow Cd of the morning express which conveyed the Duchess of Bent and her suite. -- • OPENING of the KINGS CROSS TER 1/ LN US. Yesterday the spl en did term i nus o f t h e Great Northe rn " ! Railway at King' s . cross was o p ene d f o r public traffic, • and the event, t h roughout t h e entire day, attracte d hundreds of persons to the vicinity of the station. CaP' tain Laffan the Government Inspector, accompan ied by Mr. S e y mour Clarke, the general manager. Mr. Lewi s Cubitt, th e architect, with Mr. Brassey, the engineer, and other gentlemen connected with the railway, went over the line and the tunnel under the Regent's Canal, near the Imperial Gas-works, on Wednesday, and the gallant officer having giventhe 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 Crampton's engines. No ceremony took place, but in consequence of the largo number of persons assembled oa 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 Champneys. Notwithstanding the incom plete state of the general building, the waitiog•rooms are elegantly fitted up, and furnished with a due regard to the comfort and convenience of the passengers. The entire station was lighted up on Wednesday evening, and from its vast magnitude, and the immense number 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. Langham, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held the inquest yesterday, at the Duke of York public house, Shepherd-street, Oxford-street, on the body 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 name street. The evidence was substantially the same as that which had been already given before tbo magistrates on Monday last, with the exception of the post mortem examination, which was made on Tuesday by Mr. Francis Olathe, 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 examining 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 5 black• and dark green colour, extending round to the loins. On removing the scull-cap and durst mates, the surface and vessels of the brain were loaded with venous coagulated blood, and there were patches about the sizs 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. Ho attributed the cause of death to concussion of the brain, and ho 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 suffieient to produce death, especially th-.t on the left side, which was enough to crush an .ox. Ile laid no stress on the stamping on the stomech of the deceased by Phillips, as he found no marks to c,trrespond to that statement. This being the whole of the evidence, the coroner summed up, when the jury roamed a verdict of " Wilful murder" aga inst James Phillips; and tho "or,;ceeaings terminated. S( - --- --- )CIETY 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 R ,yal Medical and Chirurgical Society, Beruers-street, Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, Bart., the president, in the chair.

One would fancy that alarm had been felt lest it should, some dark stormy night, drift away down the Channel, or perhaps float over, with an easterly gale, to Ireland; or coalesce with the Isle of Man, and make that ancient kingdom once more formid able. It certainly is a remarkable testimony to the indomitable spirit of this country that, to compre hend a little island in our general system of uninter rupted land traffic, we should thus bridge over an arm of the sea, and, at an enormous cost, construct works to which the greatest architectural achieve ments of ancient times are mere child's play. The truth seems to be, that as in agriculture a wealthy territorial aristocracy has placed at the command of practioal -men the experimental results of amateur farming, as in our marine we have yachting, and for the improvement of our horseflesh racing and hunting, so, though in a larger and - grander sense, the mechanical genius of this country has a fancy development and a favourite arena for display. What Lord's grouiids are to the cricketer or Woolwich marshes to the artilleryman, or the floor of the House to the statesman, or what the boards of old Drury once were to the great tra gedian, such is the Menai Strait to the civil engineer. The extraordinary beauty of the scenerSt enhances the splendour of his achievements, and blue hills and rushing water, the variegated banks of the Strait, the broken outlines of the mountainous horizon softened by distance, mansions and humbler dwellings gleam ing in the sunshine, and ships gliding along with the current, all shed their influences on his triumphs. For the last generation Telford hung his graceful iron web across 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 system with which their professional fame is now so indissolubly associated. 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 formed the plan contemplated 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 ba 200,0001,, and in consideration for so large an outlay —at such a point the Government of Sir R. 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 engineer, fund 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 20,000/. for seven years, granted to them in consideration of a design involving only a 200,0001. 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. Tile mail contract, having heen 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. Paxton has been laying out a park close to the bridge, which looks as if a new town where intended to be formed there—a sort of Brighton for the busy toilworn population of Lancashire. That will help somewhat; and, should Ireland ever prosper, the company must share her mproving fortunes The Royal party left the Penryn Arms at hat 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 shore, 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-mist 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 Bound of a cheer reaching the tube indicated that 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 just be seen, four in number, and diminished to a size appropriate to Queen 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 other points in the Princi pality has performed the military duties attendant on the Queen's visit. The Fusileers e xhibit at their head, with characteristic Cambrian pride, a very fine white goat, presented to them some years ago h by her Majesty. At Llanfair station met the Royal party, and it was arrangedtube in the Majesty should go through lr.tetphaetnhsoenr state carriage, detached from th h e th h_ e _ ine, by imen, while Prince Albert, aonfd Wales,dril n of the tube, and walk al to h and a portion of the suite would te ascend to the roof Ch e e p s e r l i c n a c a side. This was sesfpoereet t b h y e hroyal Majestyparty was accordingly done,. but w separated some little timeation with Mr. Stephenson, and the Prince in co h n e v t re h e ;on the spot the mechanic& bridge was constructed—it principles who ex t) lai o n o ed w t h o io t h strength, the distribution of the material, and the leading detail s b y which so vast an ha passed throughundertoking was successfully completed. A train to Holyhead only a few minutes that the l , a t r t r b ival of the travellers, and it is a pity . they l os t ,e op: portunity which this afforded for seeing w d v is, per , haps, the most wonderful sight connectwith. th.i, marvellous work. Looking through the tube, which is 1,850 feet long, you see the firebox of the engine gleam ing as it advanc es from the other extremity. You hear the throb f 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. While the Queen passed slowly through the tube to the Car absence of all attempts at frivolous ornamentatis , n the grave character of the outline foios, and the gigantic scale of the dimensions, uninvaded by any extravagance, all lead the mind of the spectator back to the sombre and steely relics of Egyptian architec ture. The huge lions that guard the entrances are is harmony with such associations, and if on closer inspection the mysterious sphinx-;ike 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. From the Britannia Strait the royal train sped its way, at eleven o'clock, with all possible dispatch southward, its occupants receiving at every available point in their progress the hearty tributes of a loyal people. 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 contre 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, had 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 arousal the statioo, which was most tastefully fitted up fur the occasion. A loyal address was presented to her Majesty, who was received by the Earl of Powis 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 Anglesea, Lord Wrottesley, Lord Lewisham, and Mr. Thornely, M.P., were on the platform to receive her Majesty, and the inhabitants, by their chief magistrate, 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 industry which, although not improving its appearance, yet adds essen tially to the wealth of the country. " Wolverhampton is the centre and metropolis of a district in which more tha n a third of a million of your Majesty's subjects are employed in various oc h cu d p w a a ti r or connected with the manufacture of iron and ar We are happy to inform your Majestyanth_afntthhise very large population is now fully employed,. d enjoyment or 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 supplied mineral wealth and an immense and industrious popu lation, li v i ng and prospering' in an atmosphere and on a soil which suggests, even in the daytime, vi sions of Pandemonium. They cheered their Sove reign most lustily, and showed the greatest 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 chief 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 Windsor in perfect safety at a quarter before seven o'clock. THE LATE COLLISION ON THE :NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—We understand that a judicial investigation into the cause of the fatal collision which took place on this railway on Friday evening has been going on during l on _ day and yesterday. 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 ytt to say what the result of the investigation may be. The engineman and stoker of the mail train, were so far recove , ed as to be able to attend the judicial ) were injured on Monday The other passengers wh injured by the collision are also progressing favourably.— Scotsman. imue of the 5 per cent. preference shares of the Norwegian Railway took place yesterday, and, although they had been previously quoted 2to premium, the price was now IA discount to par. Au 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 i ns t ance like this, it is not unsatis factory that it should have occ urre d, s i nce it w ill s how that there is a limit that must be observed in the production of foreign undertakings, however intrinsically sound.

WOLVERHAMPTON, OCT. 13.—The usual quarterly meeting of the ironmastera of this district was held here this afternoon. The attendance not only of those actu ally engaged in the trade, but of buyers from London, Liverpool, and all parts of the country, was more nu merous than fora long time past, and after a full discus sion of the circumstances of the trade, there seemed to be a general concurrence in the v iew th at the recent rise in t h e price of iron was fully justified. Very large orders were offered today by English consumers and merchants, and although in some instances they were re fused by the largest makers in the anticipation that further advance may take place before Christmas, others, who have less 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 unexecut,d orders at the old price, which are yet unsatisfied. Pig iron is scarce, and the demand being la-go and stocks low, prices are not only firm, but another advance is a nticipated. Accounts of the manufacturers were paid to -day with that punctu ality for which this district is proverbial. The coal. masters are, it is said, projecting a further advance in the price of that commodity, for which the present de mand is enormous.
