DEATH from MORPHIA.—The following in . quest appeared in the Morning Post of Friday, the 23d instant;—" A Child Poisoned by Morphia.—An inquest was held on Wednesday, by Mr. Mills, at Chelsea, on the body •.f a child named Harriet Watson, nine months old, who had died in consequence of its mother having Inadvertently given it a part •of a pill composed of morphia; for the purpose of lulling it to sleep. A verdict stating the fact was delivered, and the mother of the child was, by direction of the jury, severely admonished by the coroner." We need not inform the reader that, had the deadly poison been given by the doctor, instead of the mother, we should, as usual, never have heard one word about the death. Good God ! half a pill to be so polsow.us and deadly. This is what the doctors call " medicine ! !!" The Lord save us from such medicine! Doctors may ridicule the idea of persons having taken five, ten, twenty, and even fifty of Morrison's Pills at a dose (which, at all events, is an incontrovertible proof of their in nocence and safety), but it is far better than dealing in such deadly poisons as morphia, and the catalogue of other poisons used by doctors " medicinally ! 1 Rygeists, thank God, have nothing to reproach their consciences with—is it the same with doctors.? Morphia, the public should know, is a deadly preparation of opium. We say again that the world is beginning to understand why doctors give and hold out poisons " medicinally."—British Col- Nevr-rO4, London, Oct. 24, 1846. lege 91 .

COVENTRY, LEICESTER, NUNEATON, AND BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, 3r he fi Queen'srst general Hotel mee ting ofthis shareholders LtAr, S e. Trrn wa n s Ar.T held — at the day, when, in consequence of the proposed transfer of the line to the London and North Western Company on their taking the shares at par, some warm debate took place. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Edmund Peel, chairman of the company. The principal feature in the report submitted to the meeting was the proposed transfer of the line to the London and North-Western Company. The directors stated that they had ceded the line from Coventry to Nuneaton to the London and North-Western Company, which company had also in troduced a Bill before Parliament for a line between those towns. The directors gave it as their opinion that the line from Nuneaton to Wigston, near Leicester, and for which the Act had been obtained, was too short to be worked with the fullest efficiency by a small inde pendent company. They, therefore, recommended, that an application be made to Parliament next session for a _ the line to the London and North-Western Company. Consequent upon the decreased length of the line the capital is to be reduced to 270,0001. in 13,500 shares of 201. each, every subscriber of four shares in the original company to be entitled to one in the new company. Mr. OLIVER, of London, demanded some explanations as to why the shareholders were not called together prior to the public announcement of the transfer of the line to the London and North-Western Company, and another shareholder insisted upon knowing by whom the two guineas per share which h - ad been received by thou. sands in return for their deposits bad been paid. H e also demanded to know fully the particulars of the ne gotiations that had been going on. After consulting Mr. Carter, solicitor, and some of the directors, the CHAIRMAN replied that these questions had better not be pressed. An angry discussion here ensued, which resulted in the questions being withdrawn, but not before Mr. Oliver had declared that, so far as the shareholders at present knew, the directors might have seriously com mitted themselves. The report was ultimately adopted and on the question for the appointment of new direc tors another very warm discussion ensued. Mr. COPE, of the London Stock Exchange, rose to enter his protest against the use of the scrip in the elec tion of directors when the original holders had received the two guineas return. He asserted that these shares had been obtained from the parties upon false represen tations ' • that it had been assured them that their scrip weuld be cancelled the moment the two guineas were paid, instead of which they found it had been quietl . , transferred to Mr. Glyn and the London and North- Western Company. Mr. THOMPSON, of Leicester, was convinced there was something not straightforward about the conduct of the directors. Mr. RIDGWAY, of Caldon-place, one of the directors, defended his colleagues from these strictures ; but for the stf.ps they had taken, he averred, their shares would have been at 11. discount. Mr. COPE denied this, and asserted that he himself had bought scrip as high as 41. prem., and was it likely the parties for whom he had purchased, or the great body of the shareholders, would be satisfied with the mere return of the deposit after their success before Par merit. Mr. THOMPSON again inquired what had become of the scrip that had been sent in to be cancelled ? He was more convinced than ever that there was something not honest about these proceedings. Mr. BURGESS defended the directors. After which, the gentlemen nominated as new direc tors were appointed, but no explanation given of the whereabouts of the scrip that had been returned. The sum of 5004 was voted for the past expenses to the directors. Auditors were then appointed, and the salary of the secretary fixed at 3001. per annum. Some further discussion ensued, for the most part of an angry character, and ended with a declaration by Mr. OLIVER, that whatever opposition could be offered before the House of Commons' Committee it should be offered. A counter declaration was then made by Mr. Bias, of Leicester, one of the directors, that they would not be diverted from their duty by persons who attended there for stock-jobbing purposes. _ . . of being able to an nounce to you to-day, as we have the satisfaction of doing, that the works from Amiens to Etaples are very nearly terminated; that the section from Amiens to Abbeville is ready to be opened for working, and that the works on the rest of the line are in such a state of advancement as to induce us to hope that the line as far as Etaples will be constructed in the spring of 1847, and that the whole line can be delivered to public circulation in the course of the following summer. To have brought matters to this point, and to have taken on ourselves the responsibility of purchasing our ground, and urging on our works on the proposed line, we must have felt the most perfect confidence in the plans of our head engineer, and been certain that the line of direc tion which he had proposed, and which we had presented to the Government, comprised in itself all the conditions necessary to ensure the approval of the superior authori ties. The result has justified our provisions ; our plans have met with the most complete assent, notwithstand ing the opposition which a, portion of them met with, and the responsibility which we did not hesitate to assume has thus placed the company in the favourable position which it at present occupies. In this situation we could have fixed and declared to you the precise period at which the section between Amiens and Abbe ville could be opened, were it not for the delays which we have experienced in the execution of certain works, and in the delivery of our stationary and moving stock, delays totally independent of our will, and which we were far from expecting, inasmuch as we had taken every precaution to protect ourselves against such a re sult, either giving our orders to persons whose position as manufacturers seemed to offer fair guarantees for their exactitude in strictly fulfilling their engage ments, or in giving . ample time for the execution of the order within the periods agreed an. Thesedelays, however, will not have the effect of postponing the period which we assigned last yearfor opening the section between Amiens and Abbeville ; as whilst we have adopted measures calculated to protect the interests of the company against these delays, we have secured, in case of need, the assist ance which the Rouen Company has already on various occasions afforded us, as well as that which has been offered us by the London to Dover Company. Although the experience acquired up to the present time has demonstrated how little pecuniary advantage results from the working of sections of lines, we have, however, been of opinion that in the circumstances in which we happen to be placed, there would be large compensations for us in opening even at this season of the year the line from Amiens to Abbeville. By-so doing we shall attain the double object of forming our working personnel, and of keeping up, and even increasing in that direction, the circulation of passengers and goods between France and England. The choice of a gentleman to direct the working of the line has been the object of our most seri ous consideration. The importance of this post, the grand responsibility which it involves, the administrative talents, the constant care, activity, and vigilance which it demands, renders the choice a matter of great diffi culty. We had seen these qualities united to a remark able degree in our head engineer during the execution of the works on the line; and we came to the conclusion that we could not do better than entrult the working of the line to him who had so ably directed its construc tion. By an arrangement entered on, at our sugges tion, with M. Blzaine, whose zeal for the interests of the company on all occasions we feel pleasure in declaring, that gentleman will unite in his own person the func tions of engineer and of head of the working of the line. A question closely bound up with our existence and with the working of the line is that of our relations with the Northern Railway. The bases on which the inter course between railways running into one another de pends have been fixed by law; but the task of regulat ing the manner in which these relations are to be con ducted is left to the arrangement of the companies them selves, subject to appeal to the Minister of Public Works, should they not be able to agree. The draft of the conven tions to be fixed on between the Northern and Boulogne Companies for the correspondence of transports between the two lines' is at present under examination on both sides. The evident interest of th© two companies is to come to an understanding on so important a question; and the good feeling that has been manifested on both sides leads to a well-founded hope of an arrangement mutually favourable. The report of our head engineer, which we are about to communicate to you; will show what course our works have followed in their different parts, including the purchase of land. The excellent execution of these works, and the satisfactory ma nner i n w hi c h t h e purchases of and have been effected are proofs of the care and sound local administration which have presided over this part of our undertaking. From Amiens (itself included) to•Etaples the works have been adjudicated in parcels to various contractors; and from Etaples to Bou logne, by far the most important part of the line, an agreement on forfeit has been entered into with Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey, who are displaying their usual activity, and 'employing the powerful means at their dis posal. Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey are also charged With the task of ballasting the line and laying down the rails on the sections from_Abbevillp StMenueirbigyun Zhfie line rioni Abbeville to Boulogne have been en trusted by treaty to Messrs. Ganneron and Co. With a few exceptions we have found, all along the line, the very best dispositions in our favour. The manifestations -by which the town of Amiens had appealed to the public and to the Government in favour of the establishment of a railway from Amiens to Boulogne—a line which, in fact, is certain to ensure to that town so many advan tages—had authorised us to believe that we should find in the municipal authorities of the -place only the most conciliatory sentiments when the time should arrive for purchasing the commune lands required for the line in its passage through Amienss. We had, however, rated far too highly the kind intentions of the town of Amiens with respect to us. We were obliged to appeal to a jury of expropriation against the exorbitant demands of this town, when the question arose of making over to us some of the communal land, and particularly the old ditches of the fortifications, which numerous precedents led us to imagine would be ceded to us gratuitously. The town of Abbeville, with which we had arranged in an amicable manner for the acquisition of the communal land required for the rail way, deemed it necessary to proceed against us by law for the payment of the octroi- duty on chalky matter serving to form the emuankments of the line. Con demned before the Court of Premiere Instance at Abbe ville, we gained our cause before the Cour Royale of Amiens. The town of Abbeville has appealed to the Court of Cessation, but we are in hopes that the judg ment in our favour will be confirmed." The following is the report'of our head engineer " The definitive plans of all the - portions of the Amiens to Boulogne Railway having received the approbation of the Government authorities, it was possible to proceed to the accomplishment of the formalities of expropriation of land, and to the execution of the works on every part of the line. The acquisiti. al of land is now nearly brought to a termination. Amicable arrangemmts have been entered into with upwards of 1,400 landed proprietors for, about 2,300 pieces of land,- amounting in all to 250 hectares (the hectare is about two and a half acres). It was found necessary to apply to a jury to decide relative to 66 pieces of land in the arrondissement of Amiens. It will probably be unnecessary to have recourse to the same means in the arrondissement of Abbeville, as there remain there but three landowners who have not entered into an arrangement. There are.etill 106 in the department of the Pas de Calais, respecting whom the formalities of expropriation are being proceeded with. The operations are too far advanced not to allow an estimate to be made with precision of the whole expense of the land necessary for the Boulogne Railway. This amount will be somewhat about 33,000 f. the kilometre (1 of an English mile), including the ground for sta tions and all kinds of accessory indemnities. The most important indemnity which the company has had to pay is that obtained by the town of Amiens, for ceding certain communal lands, and in particular the ditches of the fortifications, relative to which the Boulogne Company certainly did not expect to see the town of Amiens proceed to such demands as had never before been heard of. A jury was called on to decide on these demands. The town of Amiens, in coming before that tribunal, reduced its claim to 323,395 E the railway company offered 60,000 f., and the jury fixed the amount to be paid at 140,000 f. In opposition to the exaggerated demands of the town of Amiens, maybe adduced the gratuitous concession which the War Department has given to the company, of the military ground, to be occupied by the railway in passing through the fortified part of Abbeville. We have also to mention the gift, which the town of Buologne has made to the company, of two and a half hectares of land, at the point where the station is to be erected. The great number of amicable arrangements obtained by the company in so short a time, and the moderate amount of the sums paid, are additional testimonies of the ac commodating feeling which the undertaking has met with, almost in every part of the country that has been passed through. In order to exhibit clearly -the situation of the works on the line, we shall divide the railway into three sections :—From Amiens to Abbeville—from Abbeville to Etaples—and from Eta pies to Boulogne. The execution of the works is being actively prosecuted in these three stations, except in the interval of about two kilometres, comprised in the pas sage through the fortifications of Abbeville, and to crossing the Somme; the works to be constructed in he this part are to be executed with the concurrence o f military engineering department. state. This condition, which the comp and wiathnythottotolodf notthe get rid of, and the accomplishment of the formalities on it, might retard in a manner prejudicialalititeos a the interests of the company the period of working the line in its entire length, were it not that the company has nssured to itself, in case of need, the power of esta blishing, for tha purpose of getting over these two kilo. metres and the river Somme, temporary arrangements which will permit it to await with patience the c.)mple lion of the definitive works ordered by the Departments of War and Public Works. This question is at present under examination, at the same time that the projects of detail which are to be afresh suhua.tted to the general council of the Ponts-et-Chaus4is and to the fortification committee are being taken into consideration. In the section comprised between Ami. - -as and kilometres Abev ( R a e length of which i s a b out forty-five litth more than twenty-eight miles English), the embank. ments and works of art are finished; the line is ( net: yea throughout its whole length.

The second general meeting of the shareholders of the Boulogne line took place on Oct. 23, at the company's offices, Rue Basse de Rempart, M. C. Laffitte in the chair. Near him were MM. Adam, C. Devaux, E. Blount, L. Fontaine, J. Baxendale, Calcy St. Paul, Lewis Cubit, and Captain Tyndale. The CHAIRMAN declared that 54 persons, representing 11,366 shares being present, the meeting was legally con stituted. He then called on the Secretary to read the report. Mr. DUVAL then rose, and read as follows.— " REPORT OF OCTOBER 23, 1846. " Gentlemen,—lt is exactly a year to-day since we had the honour of calling you together for the first time to a general meeting. On that occasion we submitted to your inspection the measures which we had adopted to establish, by the formalities required by the Govern ment authorities, the existence of the company which we had formed, and at the same time to insure the ex execution of the enterprise to which they related. In fact, as soon as we were authorised by the ordonnance of October 24, 1844, confirming the concession, we set to work, without waiting for the approbation of Sur statutes, which did not take place until seven months afterwards, and appointed the persons required for the execution of the line ; we appointed our head engineer and the other engineers acting under him ; ordered our stock for construction and working ; had surveys made of the ground, and decided what line of direction should be taken, and, finally, submitted the plans of the whole railway to the examination and approbation of Govern ment authorities. These plans,* though sent in to the department of Public Works in Jufy and August, 1845, did ma obtain the Ministerial approbation for nearly a year after, that is to say, in June and August, 1846. It results trom this fact, and from the bricf explanation that we have given above, that if we had waited for the approval of our statutes in order to eommence our pre paratory measures, and for the approval of our plans in order to commence and proceed with our works, we should be still at the very first steps of our eeterpri-e, in place * With the exciition of our plans in the arrondisse ment of Amiens, which were approved of in llteena her, 1845. received at Amiens, which may traverse the whole lengt of the line. The works of art of this section • without reckoning a number of aqueducts, of three tun nels of about 600 yards in length together, four viaducts above the railway for the passage of public roads, nine bridges, of from four to sixteen yards in span, and six lighter bridges. The most considerable works were in passing through Amiens. They are now completely finished, and this result does honour to the activity dis played by MM. Delzant fr&es, who had undertaken to execute them. At the present moment workmen are employed in erecting barriers for the passages on a level, watchmen's boxes, posts for measuring the distance, and other accessories necessary for the working of a railway. Eighteen watchmen's houses have been al ready erected. Independently of the stations of Amiens and Abbeville, four secondary ones have been established at Picquiny, Hangest, Longpri, and Pont-Remy. These six stations are distant from each other about from seven to fourteen kilometres, but in addition the re quisite arrangements have been made to establish inter mediate ones, should it be found useful to do so. Work men are actively employed on the buildings at the sta tions; in ,order, however, to allow all the time necessary nsat c tiona e t di s tmvi s oei effected a t nof i ko e encne s rl oeyfu o utoih f sl the rde oe for arranging them in a manner most suitable.to the ne cessities tvhieees service, eosf t ; a to n i o. t z, l dn sis nhah a ve order T e be e n once,et o e nt be er sftul buildingsl commenced, prepared des tined totahl oe temporary b e seee rbcveo i constructed erected arrangements etedda tozn,p ass e nge rs.bt hb . haveeer imil i t a r y iieA s e e .provisional the grounddey fie_t c bhn i e r ae c s uit of the fortifi cat i ons, which the Minis neorteeyteedt permittedas near the to t b o e wn passed. as s T i b h l e i s , s te t a r w i thintoi o f n W h t h u aer within 800 yards of the Rouen gate, and close to the high road to that place. The expense of this station will be inconsiderable, because the buildings there, formed of timber, have been so arranged that the wood work may be all taken down and again put up on the site of the definitive station, to serve as lock-up houses and sheds for holding goods. Art. 7 of theCohier des Ch arges reserved to the state the faculty of establishing the two services of the Northern and Boulogne Companies in a station common to both at Amiens. The Government authorities had not come to any decision in this re spect when the last general assembly was held. Since then their -determination has been transmitted to the Boulogne Company. It is the State which is to get this station constructed, and which has de finitively so arranged it that the Boulogne Company can without any inconvience establish there its service for passengers ; the buildings, quays, ways, and sheds destined for its us e are qu i te independent f those re served to the Northern line. It is also the state which is to fix the sum of money to be paid by the Boulogne Company for the use of the Amiens station. It cannot do so, however, until after the completion of the works, which are Arged on with all the activity that can be de sired. The Boulogne Company, therefore, has had to provide at Amiens only for the establishment of a sta tion for goods, and for workshops to repair its stock. These erections, situate exactly opposite those raised by the Northern Company for the same purpose, are ex ceedingly advanced. One part of the sheds for goods has been temporarily disposed for the accommodation of passengers, whilst waiting until the state shall have delivered to the company the definitive buildings that are to be appropriated for that service. The houses for lo comotives, the offices, and in general the principal de pendencies necessary for the working of the section from Amiens to Abbeville, are ready. For the open ing of this section to the public we were in hopes that we might be able to advance the period which we had fixed ; but unforeseen delays in the execution -of certain works and in the delivery of our stationary and rolling stock have deprived us of this expectation. As these delays, however, are not to continue much longer they cannot have the effect of postponing the term which we specified last year at a similar period. We then announced that the section from Amiens to Abbeville might be opened to the public at the 'end of 1846—that anticipation will be realised. We announced at the same time that the principal works between Abbeville to Etaples, with the exception l a t g e has t h r been e u e g n h o A b t b a b i n e v e i d l . le , I s n h o thisu!d b s e , e t e t T o n t 1 1 , n o a n t e a d miles),n th g e lis % h •orks o - — o f t t h h a e t r p e a s s u s thele e t leng th b o a f nkm forty-eight en ts are knielaormlyetrteesrm(tihniartteydE; art are partly constructed; the fences for enclosing the line are being placed; large provisions of ballast are ready; the laying down of the rails has been commenced in the direction of Rue; and the contractors, Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey, have already organised there a service for transporting ballast by means of locomotive power. The works of this section will be terminated by next spring. A station is to be placed at Noyelles- sur - Mer ' nearly opposite St. V a l ery. T he Government authorities have not yet decided as to the position of the other stations, as far as Etaplee, b u t one o f them is to be placed at Rue. By far the most important works of the section from Etaples to Boulogne could not receive all the impulse that was desirable until after the plans of the company had received the approval of the Govern ment authorities; at present their execution is in fall activity. Out of about 1,100,000 cubic metres of em bankments that were to be made, nearly 400,000 have been already completed; all the cuttings are far ad vanced; and upwards of 200 waggons and 1,000 work men are daily employed at them. Messrs. Mackenzie and Brassey have entered into an engagement to have all finished by next summer, and the arrangements which they have made in consequence leave no doubt that their works will be executed with great celerity. . Several works of art are terminated, and a great umber az i the eluter. At:execution— 'eke vgattfile n tWely tge river • Canone, at Etaples. This bridge is to have 15 arches of 14 yards span, and is to be built altogether of mason work. Materials for its construction are now being actively collected, and already nearly 1,000 stores of wood for the foundations, a million of bricks, and 220 cubic metres of stone, have been provided. At present workmen are engaged in driving the foundation piles. The Government authorities have approved of the points chosen for the stations of Etaples and Boulogne; they have also decided that a station is to be erected at Neufchatel, nearly half-way between those two places. The construction of these stations will be ere long com menced. About 85,000 rails have been received, and others are on their way. All that is now to arrive is 4,000 rails still remaining to be sent in from Pont- Audemar, and 17,652 others from the iron-works of Creusot, to which establishment next January has been assigned as a final day. Two-thirds of the supply of chairs have b een d e li vere d , an d t h e deliveries of bolts are exceedingly advanced. After having undergone some delays, the supply of sleepers has beeu effected with activity ; there still, however, are about 70,000 wanting to render the supply complete, as it will be at the end of the year. These sleepers, which are of oak, are immersed in a solution of sulphate of copper, pre viously to being used. The object of this operation is to prolong, in a very marked manner, the duration of the wood, and this circumstance is a matter of too great importance to the company to allow them to hesitate to employ it; the expense, besides, is comparatively incon siderable, not being more than 50c. per sleeper. Four chambault has commenced delivering the matters re quired for changing the way, but the turning platforms are still expected ; several are on the road. Five loco• motive machines, with their tenders, are ready, being the number which MM. Allcard, Buddicom, and Co., had undertaken to have delivered at this period. There have been ordered from Messrs. Schneider and Co. 30 carriages of the first class, 50 of the second, 50 of the third, 50 baggage waggons, and 90 waggons for goods and cattle, making in all 270. Great attention has been paid to have this stock constructed in the best possible manner. The construction is now far advanced, and Messrs. Schneider and Co. have an nounced that they will commence delivering some of the carriages within a fortnight. To sum up briefly what has been already stated, the execution of the works on the Boulogne was commenced scarcely a year since ; 45 kilometres between Amiens and Abbeville may be opened for regular working at the end of the year 1846 ; 48 kilometres between Abbeville and Etaples are in an ex ceedingly forward state, and will be terminated in the course of the spring of 1847. Out of 1:.9 kilometres between Etaples and Boulogne the works are a quar te r • exeeute of executed, 1847. dll be The so entireurgen d line on e mayconsequently as to finished be the summer be opened to the public about that period, for we have every reason to believe that the execution of the works for the passage through the fortifications of Abbeville will not retard the definitive opening of the line. The works that are already executed, and the agreements that have been made, also confirm us in our expectation that the expense will not reach the sum that was originally cal culated." We cannot, gentleman, terminate this statement, with (out declaring to you that the information which we every day collect tends to strengthen the hope which we in dulged in when our company was formed, of seeing the circulation produced by it affording most satisfactory returns to the shareholders. Nothing shall be lefinn done on our parts to give to the local traffic all the deve lopment of which it appears susceptible ; and with respect to the transport of passengers and goods throne out the whole line, we perceive in the future only_mr cumstances more and more favourable to such develop ment.
