Ihe barriers within the doors of the Hall offered an ineffectual resistance to the strength and impetuosity of the multitude, so that the activity of the police was unavoidably referred to, but a consider able time elapsed before the bustle was -brought to a conclusion. The improvements in the decorative ar rangements are recorded in the following account : The Ilall was externally lighted with gas, coils of pipes having been introduced amongst the arms of the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs, so that a peculiar brilli ancy broke forth as the evening approached. The front of the Hall's entrance-porch was decorated with armour from the tower. Two most magnificent chandeliers, made by the deceased Mr. Collins, were suspended from the ceiling of the halL The value of these beautiful speci mens of art, is said to be 1,0001., but the executor, Wm. Collins, sold them to the corporation for 2001., as they were considered to be too large for any other public building. The chandeliers were ornamented with stained glass. Mr. Bunning, the clerk of the works, judiciously made the alterations described, which in a great measure cures a very palpable defect in the external arrange ment of the building ; as in consequence of the enormous quantity of gas burned in the hall and smaller rooms, the visitors of the 9th November have been obliged to complain of excessive heat. Mr. Bunning contrived to let in a current of air from the Court-yard, between the lobby of the Council Chamber and the Court of Alder men, and introduced in the space thus thrown open a picture representing the Embarkation of Henry the Eighth from the Tower, with Old London-bridge covered with houses in the distance. On the painted pavement of the floor were varieties of flowers, and the effect of this improvement was greatly praised. In fact a conservaWry.appeared where bare walls were formerly - to be seen. - 'line oil which it was the custom to burn in different parts of the edifice was wholly removed, and gas alone blazed everywhere. At about a quarter-past twelve o'clock the Lord Mayor received notice that the order of procession was about to commence, and the company accordingly left the breakfast rooms, and went with their carriages in the usual order .

EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE BY FIREWORKS. — On Wednesday last an explosion took place at Bedford in the shop of a chemist named Prior. The window shutters were forced into the street, and on the police forcing open the door, the brother of the occupier of the shop was found with his clothes in flames. A child was thrown out of the window into the arms of some one in the street, and sustained no injury. Mr. Fowler Prior also made his escape from the window, and was assisted down into the street with safety. The people com menced throwing water upon the flames in the shop and back room, and removing combustible and the most valuable articles. Mr. Sweatman, keeper of a beer house, daringly removed a barrel of gunpowder and a box of fireworks to his own house. Soon aftar an entry was made into the shop, Mr. Apthorpe, grocer, per ceived something like a log of wood lying in the back room, and on endeavouring to remove it his hand slipped, but taking hold of another part he was able to drag it out of the ruins, when it proved to b e a human body, quite dead, and it was ascertained that the hand of Mr. Apthorpe had slipped down the leg on his first hold, from the flesh being almost burnt to a cinder. The body, found to be that of a youth named Smith, was removed to the cage, and presented a most shocking appearance, not a feature being distinguishable, the limbs contracted, and the trunk one black mass. The circumstances which led to this catastrophe are as follows:—A person named Fowler Prior, the occupier of the premises, retired to rest on Wednesday night, leaving his brother, William Prior, and William Smith, the deceased, a young man, about 21 years of age, son of William Smith, tailor, works. They were sitting together at work at a bench employed in manufacturing fire by William Prior, a spark flew from the fire or fell i G n r t e b y e bFarcikarr's:Lal,kw'hen, by the account given that night from the candle amongst the combustible materials around them, and before they could extinguish it or reach either of the doors, the explosion took place. This is the second accident that has occurred at Prior's, though not on the same premises. A coroner's inquest was Bolden on Thursday, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death.' Prior having been before ad monished, the coroner informed him that he should enter a prosecution against him for two penalties of 5L each, for manufacturing and letting off fireworks, to which the jury expressed their assent. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANIMALS AND PLANTS. — Plants, unlike animals, are able to derive sustenance from inorganic matter, such as air, water, carbon, but they flourish most on that which has been already organised, though in a state of decomposition. Hence, first instance, been, in the scale of nature, they bold an intermediate posi tion between man and animals and minerals. No ani mal manly prey the upon ro been therefore, e n , derives its food i mme di a t e ly from inorganized matter ; other oluv er well lsh s a ea r d i i animals, by , vegetable t which h c ifh h plantsav matter.e, in ceased thet has n rs t t na to _glow, animals wo u ld cease t o ex i s t."-7 he Plough. TEE SMITHFIELD NUISANCE AND THE LORD MAYOR'S Snow.-In Consequence of the Lord Mayor's day having yesterday fallen on the principal Smithfield market-day, a number of accidents occurred owing to the various herds of beasts being driven through the City. In Bridge-street, Blackfriars, opposite Bridewell Hospital, Jane Underwood, a child scarcely seven years of age, was knocked down by an ox, and before assist ance could be rendered, the poor child was so severely kicked and trampled upon by three or' four of the animals that there is little hope of recovery. Shortly afterwards, on Blackfriars-bridge, a child named Cothing was tossed by an ox from the same dr.ive, and sustained such in juries as to endanger its life. Oa Friday morning last an accident occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway, near Chadwell, caused by a truck used for conveying rails or plates to different parts of the line requiring repair being left on the " up" line. The truck was smashed to pieces by the engine of a goods train, and the engine itself much damaged, but, f o rtunately, no one was i n j ure d b y t h e acc i dent. Th ree , 6 plate layers" were taken into custody for neglect of duty in leaving the truck on the line instead of putting it into a " siding," and were committed to the House of Correction at Ilford, one for six weeks, and the other two for one mouth each. S Ny NOVEMBER 10, 1846. that their most vigorous endeavours would be directed to assuage the calamity which he was happy to believe was not so great as it had been represented to be, he felt happy in proposing " Her Majesty's Ministers."— (Cheers.) They were a body of men who were prepared, he did not doubt, to meet the evil, and, with the co-ope ration and confidence of their fellow-countrymen, suc eessfully to contend against it.—(Cheers) It would be too heavy a task for him to describe the character of the present Premier of England. It would be unnecessary, too, for all knew, from long experience, that the mea sures of that eminent statesman were all directed to the public good. Ile would allude to another circumstance. For the first time the City of London was represented by the Minister.—(Cheers.) He was sure that the toast would meet with the warmest reception.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL rose, and was most enthusiasti cally applauded. He begged leave, in the names of his colleagues, and in his own name, to return thanks to the company for the high honour done to them. He could assure the company that the Administration would use their utmost endeavour to promote the inte rests, to guard the honour, and to maintain the liberties of this empire; and he trusted, that with the support and approbation of the citizens of London, they would be enabled to contribute to these great ends. He had, however, another responsibility cast upon him—one of a personal nature. He must always remember that the last time he had had the honour to appear in the Guildhall it was to be re-elected as one of the representatives in Parliament of the City of London.—(Loud cheering.) But he felt that the duties of a Minister of the Crown, and those of a representative were not of a clashing or contradictory nature. On the contrary, they were compatible and perfectly harmonious.—(Cheers.) He wished to state that fact, because he believed that the citizens of London felt deeply for all the great in terests of the general community. He believed that the hearts of the citizens vibrated with every fear of dangerous or evil circumstances, while they rejoiced in all the good fortunes with which the nation might be blessed. The citizens of London became possessed as it were by an electric telegraph, of all that passed in every part of the empire, and whatever intelligence might be subject-matter of joy, in that they rejoiced ; while in matters of lamentation they hastened to contribute to the utmost the means for its amelioration.—(Cheers.) He felt that his duties as a Minister of the Crown, and of a representative of the citizens of London, might therefore be well mingled and joined together.—(Cheers.) He offered his congratulations to the Lord Mayor for the choice which his fellow-citizens bad made. He had long known and esteemed the character of the Lord Mayor, and he was confident that his Lordship would honourably support the dignity which had been con ferred upon him ; but he must tell the Lord Mayor that he would have no light task to perform if ho meant to imitate the conduct, and emulate the example of his most excellent predecessor in the chief magistracy of the city of London.—(Cheers.) The toast was drunk with loud acclamation. The LORD Mayon, in returning thanks, said he should endeavour, in every way, to emulate the example of his predecessor. His Lordship then proposed— " The Marquis of Lansdowne, and the House of Lords." The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks. He assured the assembly that if there was a question upon which the House of Lords were unanimous, it was in the determination to maintain the rights, privileges, and immunities of the City of London. After the health of the Lady Mayoress was drunk, the ladies retired from the Hall, and commenced dancing with great spirit in the Council Chamber. Mr. MASTERMAN responded to the toast of the House of Commons ; and several other toasts were proposed and received with cheers. The conviviality lasted till morning, and every one seemed to be most happy. DEATH of the GREEK GENERAL LONDOS-ORATION OF ANASTASIUS LON DOS OVER THE DEAD BODY OF HIS BROTHER, THE GENERAL. Since the embalming of Londos' corpse, and when about to be conveyed to the place of his nativity, lEgiurn, ' his surviving brother Anastasius Londos made the fol lowing oration, which is a multum in parvo exemplifica tion of the reasons of the Ministry's behaviour. " Dearest Brothar,—l solicit of thy shade as much tolerance as I felt grief for the forgiveness of thine enemies. Petty intrigue of base passions will never be capable of obscuring St. Laura, Missolonghi, Cerasobus, other places of thy glory, and the 3d of September. They wish, my dearest brother! to deprive thee even of a tomb; but for thy tomb thou wilt have the hearts of the Greeks, and the whole of Greece, which will eventually render thee thy natural tomb with due honours. Thou hast left me a mortal wound, but I find consolation in the feeling of thy friends, of thy numerous relations, of all the literati, of every feeling Greek, and of the whole of the nation. " Rendering thee, sweetest brother, the last salutation* I crave thy blessing, which, guiding me in this mournful and brief stadium of my life, will make me a worthy imitator of thy political and other virtues of thy firm cha racter, and a friend of thy friends. And ye, my brother's friends, assist me with your counsels, and grant me that friendship you always evinced towards my dearest brother, of which I hope I shall prove myself a worthy partaker." The worthy editor of the Age, Mr. Philemon, in giving insertion to the above oration, makes the following remarks :—" It is impossible for us to depict the indig nation, the just indignation, which has been infused in the hearts of all. It is impossible for as to write a single word upon the subject. Let the Greeks both at home and abroad, and all the world besides, form a clear notion of this savage and unheard-of inhumanity, which guided the conduct of the Ministry, or rather that of Coletti, in this scandalous affair. Ilow otherwise will the Premier be looked upon in this melancholy case, but as the most pitiless and inhuman organ of the revengeful spirit of Anti-Septernbrianism? This revengeful spirit against the men of September has achieved the banishment of some out of Greece—others it has sent far out of the metropolis, and has endeavoured to turn out of the ser vice both of the nation and of the Chambers all thole who have a spark of patriotism in their breasts, and has denied even the enforcement of the first article of the constitution. What more can it achieve against the Sep tembrians than to deprive them even of their tombs? " Thinking ourselves incompetent, we do not under take to support the voluntary or involuntary suicide of the ever-memorable Andreas Londos. But as in this case, however, the ecclesiastical authority simply denied, without making previously the necessary examination, which the canons enforce, and as the Faculty and the members of the legal profession of our metropolis declared doubtful the voluntary suicide, it follows that from the copulation of these circumstances, with the a priori arguments, and from the moral and gentle character of the deceased general, the canon ought to be interpreted with a degree of clemency in his favour, and that the Ministry has no reason whatever to deny military honour being paid to his rank as a general. Yes ! we are not the only ones who partake of this idea; the whole of Athens, replete with grief, has partaken with us in deploring this inhuman reproach against one of the greatest benefactors of our country: both senators and deputies of every shade and degree of politics have indeed partaken of this idea, as appears from their peti tion to the ministerial counsel, a translation of which has appeared iu the Morning Chronicle of Saturday the 7th instant." PRICE SD. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERS ALL'S.—MONDAY. There was a better attendance and a larger amount of business transacted than any one could have ventured to anticipate. Passing the Chester Cup, for which, al though more were mentioned, only two were backed, we may mention several Derby horses as having been pro minently in demand ; they were Epirote, Allertonian, Lunedale, the Marpessa colt, and Brother to Joinville. The outlay on each was, for the season, liberal ; and it will be seen that in two or three instances it had an effect on the.prices. The desire to get on " was not confined to these animals, but the investments were on a smaller scale, and without any marked influence on the quota tions. We ought not to omit stating that Planet re ceded to 18 to 1, laid to 150/., the takers ready to go on. The following list is made up to the close of the betting : CHESTER CUP (NAME OR NOT.) 000 to 15 agst Mr. Whaley's Burgundy—taken 000 to 15 agst Mr. W.

The subscriptions to the Metropolitan Handicap Fund, to be run for at the Epsom spring meeting, are flowing in from a variety of sources, and with a liberality that will enable the stewards tolidd a magnificent bonus—perhaps 5001. to the stake. The race will come off on Friday, the 16th of April.

THE ALL ENGLAND FOUR-MILE HANDICAP AT WALWORTH.—This race, on which so much reliance was reasonably placed, as a test of the speed and endur ance of the men who in England and the New World have exhibited their fleetness of foot, was brought to an issue yesterday, on the Beehive ground. The conditions, as our readers are already aware, were, that the men who entered were to compete for a prize of 25 soya., exclusive of the entrance money, which was to be returned to the second in the race. At the risk of repetition, we may state, that of the expected starters, Thomas Maxfield did not show; and that Charles Morley (of Sheffield) pleading his last week's defeat with Manks, was in the like predicament; hence, Jackson (the American deer), Sheppard (of Birmingham), and James Byrom, were the three who showed at the scratch. From the start, Byrom having 20 yards start, proved that he was not only a strong runner, but one to whom an advantage could not be given with impunity; for although Jackson ran up to, and close with him, his steady speed was undeniable. At the second turn Byrom still led, Sheppard, now his close attendant, and Jackson far too near to be pleasant At the third turn the like order was observed, save that. Jackson seemed to be running, while Sheppard's chance was out. At the fourth, Jackson was outpaced; and the fifth distressed; the sixth, seventh, and eighth were run without Sheppard (who had resigned the contest) ; and the ninth and tenth, which closed the match, were run by Byrom, with Jackson in waiting; the Lancashire man an easy winner. We feel ourselves called on to observe that Sheppard has declared his retirement from the fleet-footed contest wherein he has so often proved a victor, in consequence of a personal disability, and that hereafter ho declines public competition. Byrom re ceived the well-earned fruits of his honest and gamely run race at Temperance's last night. THE Two HUNDRED YARDS HURDLE RACE.—A more exciting, although less important contest, followed the one we have detailed in the foregoing paragraph—namely, a race of 200 yards, to leap four hurdles 3ft. 6in. high, for a purse of 10 sous. and the entrance-money. For this George Seward (of Transatlantic fame), Charles West hall (of London), and Johu Smith (of the White Hart) exhibited. A miserable hour of waiting expectation was spent by the hundreds- of spectators because one of the men had not proper running shoes: at length the difficult gentleman was fitted, and, after sundry false starts, off they went. Smith seized the lead, and made the running, Westhall second—Seward, however, who ran well, passed him before the third hurdle ; and the former's chance was out. John Smith kept the lead, and won the first heat. In the second Westhall did not show, but with the two remaining competitors, Smith and Seward, the finest, the gamest, and the swiftest specimen of flat-racing and hurdle-jumping ever witnessed, .ended by John Smith being declared the victor. It was nearly dusk at the time of running the last heat ; and in Seward's behalf we are bound, as im partial chroniclers, to state that he attributes his defeat to a defect of vision, in jumping too far from the third hurdle. ACCIDENT TO A POLICE INSPECTON.—About noon yesterday, Mr. Chanipney, inspector of the S division, was riding along Regent-street, when his horse suddenly took fright, and ran away with him, till coming in colli• sion with a cab, the rider was thrown with great violence. Several ribs and one leg were fractured, besides other serious injuries. Mr. Champney was picked up quite insensible, and removed to Charing-cross-hospital, where it was said, last night, that amputation must be re sorted to. WORKING MAN'S TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION. —A working man's temperance demonstration was held at Exeter-hall yesterday evening. The meeting was very numrrously attended, every part of the hall being densely crowded. Dr. Oxley was called to the chair, and Mr. Randall was appointed secretary. The speakers were twenty in number, and were composed exclusively of the operative classes. They were as follow :—Messrs. Webb, Pitckery, Richardson, Jackson, Battoo, Rowe, Davy, Jos. Palmer, Morris, Js. Reynolds, Walters, Robinson, M‘Bean, Applegate, Mathew, Currie, Booth, Bailiss, Watson, Mann, and Wood. A memorial was adopted to Lord John Russell, praying that steps might be taken by her Majesty's Government to prevent the distillation and brewing of intoxicating liquors from grain during the present season of scarcity, on the ground that such drinks were not only unnecessary, but productive, to an incalculable extent, of crime, poverty, and human misery. The meeting separated at ten o'clock. DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—On Monday the neighbourhood of York-terrace, Westminster, was thrown into a state of considerable alarm, in conse quence of a report of a young man, who is connected with a respectable family in:Gloucestershire, and who had for the last eighteen months taken up his residence at No. 1, York-terrace, under the name of George Samuel Tanner, had committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. On inquiry it appeared that the unfortunate gentleman, whose age did not exceed 28, had been estranged from the society of his friends, and had abandoned himself to indolence and dissipation. An allowance to the extent of 101. per month was allowed him, which he regularly received through the hands of the legal advisers of the family, a solicitor in Gray's Inn. Sometime ago he became acquainted with a young girl, a dancer at the Opera, and who was known by the name of Ellen. She continued to live with him for some time, joining with him in his excesses on the receipt of his monthly allowance, which was soon spent, and for the remainder of the month they were often in a complete state of poverty. About a fortnight since this girl received an authority to re ceive his allowance, which, it is stated, she did, an d absconded, leaving her paramour in the greatest distress. He commenced selling what little furniture they had, the proceeds of which he spent in drink, and on Saturday repeatedly said he should not survive it. No notice was taken at the time, but yesterday morning, his not ap pearing as usual, his neighbours became alarmed, and a man named George, the landlord's agent, went to the rear of the premises, and discovered the unfortunate man lying weltering in blood, which was fast issuing from his throat, in his bedroom. The doors were broken open, and the wretched being, who was alive but per fectly insensible, was conveyed to the Westminster Hos pital, when it was found that he had inflicted so severe a wound in his throat, that although the carotid artery was not separated, but little hopes were e ntertained of his recovery. So determined had his intention of self destruction been, that in addition to the ra zor, a penknife lying open was found at his side. —At a RISE IN THE PRICE OF MALT LIQUOR. Monday last, meet ingof the common brewers of Sheffield, held on last, it was determined to raise the . price of malt l liquor barrel.3nisayt-iienrgleft t h e i r g o h a t i px . c e In af Augustbar e) thefor the brewers The average price of 41s.

The rise in the price of malt liquor is, therefore, a commercial necessity, which will exist until, either by importation or an abundant harvest next year, barley is reduced to a moderate rate. It is stated that the produce of the barley crop is turning out even worse than was anticipated, both in quantity and quality.—Sheffield Times. IMPORT OF PROVISIONS FROM TIIE UNITED STATES. —The Virginian, from New York, and the Louisa Bliss, from Baltimore, which arrived at Liverpool on the 6th instant, bringing 4,000 barrels flour, 26,340 bushels Indian corn, 50 barrels Indian c .rn meal, 13 casks pork, 1,050 hams, 1,000 shoulders ba3on, 878 casks lard, 200 casks rice, 233 boxes cheese, 30 firkins butter. It is the prevailing custom in Greece for the relations, friends, and others who are present at a funeral, to kiss the forehead of the departed, and say, " May thou rest in peace, departed brother !" THE LATE FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.—On Saturday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Cumberland's Head, City-road, on the body of Mr. 11. Rigden, aged 28, who lost his life at the fire that occurred on Friday morning last, at 18, Powell-street East, Goswell-road. It ap peared from the evidence of Mr. Henry Shank, the land lord of the house, that the deceased returned home to his lodgings on Friday morning at an early hour, at which time he seemed slightly inebriated, and was smok ing a cigar. Having been furnished with a small piece of candle, he retired to bed, and in the course of a few minutes afterwards Mr. Shank went down from his own to deceased's bed-room, in order to satisfy himself that deceased had properly extinguished his candle. Finding that he had taken his boots off, and had placed them outside his room door. Mr. Shank concluded that de ceased was quite capable of taking care of himself, and he returned to his own bed. About six o'clock, on Mr. Shank getting up, and passing the bedroom of the de ceased, he could hear the deceased coughing, but did not imagine that any thing had happened to him. At half-past eight o'clock, whilst another lodger was passing deceased's room door, he discovered the fire, and when the door was opened the flames rushed up the staircase, and it was with the greatest difficulty that Mrs. Shank could save one of her children who was sleeping in the top room. As soon as the fire was extinguished, de ceased was found lying on the remains of a feather bed, most awfully burnt. The feet were totally destroyed, and the face and other portions of the body were fear fully disfigured. The evidence satisfactorily proved that the fire originated in the steeping apartment be longing to the deceased, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. FIRE IN LIVERPOOL — YeSter3V (Friday) morn ing, about half-fast five o'cloei - d: , a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Ev e and Jeffries, paint and colour manufacturers, Blar:,,siodc.street. The fire originated in a large shed, an d as th e buildings adjacent were filled with oils, pints , and other substances of a highly com bustible nature, great fears wcre entertained not only for the premises, but for the neighbouring dwellings. Mr. Hewitt was quickly on the spot with the engines and a portion of the fire brigade, and by the most strenuous exertion they succeeded in preventing the flarac.4 from extending beyond the shed ; and even in that a valuable steam-engine, which had a partition wall around it, was saved. The loss is estimated at from 3001. to 401:V. —Liverpool Mail. PIGEON EXPRESS. On Saturday a celebrated pigeon belonging to Mr. Lawford, of Brixon, flew from Brighton to Brixton, a distance of about fifty-two miles, wider one hour.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tueity of publicly thanking Mr. IV. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, i in having com pletely restored the hair onher head, afte r using t about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1 ls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in it abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above faots.-3, Swan-street , Bo rou g h." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away- with the comb, make it strong , and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the erown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infents' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. i All letters addressed to William Grimstone lierbary, Iligligate. // RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. Interest at five per cent. per annum is to be allowed on all payments made by proprietors in the Vale of Neath in advance of calls. The South Devon are about to take tenders for their sets of first, second, and third-class carriages. The Eastern Counties have called a meeting to deter mine on the conversion of all the 141. 16s. shares of the company into shares of 20/. each, by the payment of 1/. 4s. and addition of 4/. bonus, to take dividends from the 4th of January next; and for the granting of equi valent advantages to the Northern and Eastern. The meeting is also made special for the purpose of granting to the holders of Eastern Counties (York Extension) shares the right to subscribe all further capital now re quired, or hereafter to be required, for the purposes of the company, until the same shall be paid up in full. THE SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER. Tile first line for North Wales, and leading into the most romantic regions, was opened between the latter place and Ruabon on Wednesday, at first class, 35.; second class, 2s. 6d.; third class, Is. sd. Day tickets from Cheater and Ruabon stations:—First class, 4s. 6d. ; second class, 3s. 9d. At ten o'clock in the morning a train of twenty three carriages left Brook-street station, conveying the directors, pro prietors, &c., and the Chester blue-coat boys, and their excellent juvenile band. The train on its return brought a large party of Welsh friends to Chester. A second train left Chester at four o'clock P.M., for Ruabon, and returned in the evening. The day was a free day, and the directors were exce e di ng ly lib era l w i t h t i c k ets, an d provided sumptuous refreshments at Ruabon. All the visitants enjoyed themselves exceedingly, and Wynnstay Park had many admirers. The trains have proceeded with great regularity and dispatch, and have been well loaded. THE RAILWAY CRISIS IN BERLIN. —The financial crisis which has for so long past existed on the Berlin Exchange is still, we understand, much the same. The number of ralway shareholders who refuse to continue their instalments increases from'day to day. The lines the estabishment of which is now very uncertain are the Lippstadt and Cassel, the Magdeburg and Witten burg, and the Stargard and Posen, without counting others of less importance. This distressing state of affairs still increases the number of actions relative to railway matters. There are already 1,700 actions pending at the Berlin tribunals. SNAKE-HEams.—DELIGHTFUL.—A passenger on the Harlem rail narrowly escaped death in New York recently, from a snake-head, which passed through the bottom and top of the car. The flat bar-rails used in the United States frequently give way, and rise in this manner. Wilful and casual accidents, with damage of person and loss of life, are as. frequent as ever, and little notice is taken, it seems, nor any means to diminish or abate them. The conductors and inferior servants are insolent and reckless, being pretty much appointed by political influence for votes, rather than for their skill or respectable conduct. FALLING IN OF CUTTINGS ON THE BISHOPSTOKE AND SALISBURY BRANCH LINE.—WEDNESDAY, NOV. 4. —A very serious falling in of earth occurred (says our Andover correspondent) on this line yesterday. The late rains and stormy weather caused the earth to give way at the part of the works called Barley-hill, near to Dean, and so extensive is the slip that it is computed it will require at least 500 labourers to work for a month or more to remove the same. At another part of this line, near to Pool's Barn, it is calculated that within the last few days more than one hundred thousand yards of soil has fallen in. Fortunately, in both cases, no lives were sacrificed, nor any serious accident took place, timely notice being given to the workmen by the earth gradually cracking ere it gave way. These casualties must cause the opening of this unfortunate and long delayed branch to stand over now until the spring of the, year. ORLEANS.—The Minister of Public Works has visited that portion of the line which suffered by the inundation of the Loire, and it is most probable that prompt mea sures will be adopted for the reconstruction of the damaged viaduct bridge. By a report from the above functionary it appears that a royal ordinance has autho rised a credit of 2,000,000 francs to be employed in re pairing the damage caused by the rising of the Loire; and a further sum of 500,000 francs for the like purpose with regard especially to the bridges that may have suf fered on that river. Amongst the subscriptions towards repairing the losses occasioned by the late inundations in France, the Orleans company have added a sum of 30,000 francs; the Bor deaux company have subscribed 15,000 francs; and the St. Etienne and Lyons company have added a sum of 1,000 francs for the same purpose. Thus it will be Leen that those companies who have themselves been the greatest sufferers have been most prominent in exerting themselves by their charity to relieve the sufferings caused by the late calamity. - SPANISH BONDHOLDERS' ASSOCIATION. We hays received the following communication from the Spanish Bondholders' Association, which throws additional light on the proceedings taken by the dele gates recently assembled at Paris to consider the subject of the foreign debt of Spain:— " A congress of deputies from the Committees of Spa nish Bondholders of Great Britain, France, Hulland, and Belgium, consisting of— " Mr. Heming " Mr. Chard Bondholders, " Mr. Henderson " Mr. Guynet On the part of the French " Mr. Duburg Bondholders, " Mr. Eisenlohe " Mr. Drucker /On the part of the Dutch " Mr. Wertheim " Mr. Cogels On the part of the Belgian " Mr. L. Brasseur Van • Bondholders, den Bogaert " Having assembled at Paris for the purpose of con certing the most efficient measures for obtaining an ho nourable settlement of the claims of the foreign Spanish bondholders, have unanimously come to the following resolutions:— " 1. That Spain is in a normal state of tranquillity, with her resources improved, her revenue increasing, and her credit reviving amongst her native capitalists, as appears by her having lately contracted a loan with them of 2,000,0001. sterling for internal improvements at about 51 per cent. per annum interest ; and it has been satis factorily ascertained that Spain is at length in a position to grant justice to the foreign bondholders, who have borne their privations with patience till the return of order and stable government in Spain ; moreover, rely ing on the promises of Senor Mon and other Ministers of Finance, and expecting that the authorization voted by the Cortes more than a year ago to deal with the public debt would have long since been acted upon, more es pecially as the very money advanced to Spain by the foreign bondholders, whereof they now crave the liqui dation, enabled Spain to expel Don Carlos, and seat the present constitutional Queen of Spain on the throne ; besides, the Church and national property pledged and hypothecated for the effectual security of the claims of the foreign bondholders has recently been applied to other purposes, without any payment or equivalent being given to them in lieu thereof. "2. That Spain having already partially redeemed her credit by satisfying the claims of the Treasury Bondholders by capitalizing their bonds at 2111. 13s. 4d. per cent., and of the holders of domestic loans by capi talizing their bonds at more than 3001. per cent., whilst the pittance of only ss. 6d, per cent. on our capital has been doled out since 1840, by the capitalization of cou pons to that date in a three per cent. stock ; this Con gress, therefore, cannot believe it possible that Spain will delay any longer to satisfy the residue of her credi tors, via., the foreign holders of her national securities. " 3. That the committees who have sent deputies to this Congress, collectively and separately, will continue to urge these claims without ceasing, in every possible way, until a just and satisfactory arrangement of them is obtained. " 4. That if this final appeal to Spanish honesty proves unavailing, which is considered impossible then strenuoa s and energetic measures be forthwith adopted by the members of this Congress, after having exhausted all other means, to induce their respective Governments to redress the wrongs inflicted on their subjects by the bad faith of Spain. " 5. That the conduct of M. Guizot in aiding their just claims entitles the French Government to the gra titude of the bondholders of our respective countries. "It is resolved that the thanks of this Congress of Deputies be communicated to Viscount Palmerston and the Earl of Clarendon, for the readiness with which they have given their support to the deputation from London in furtherance of their measures to obtain justice from Spain. " That the thanks of the deputies be conveyed to the Government of his Majesty the King of the Pays Bas for the assistance given to the Dutch committee. " That the thanks be likewise conveyed to the Bel gian Government for its manifestation to serve this great cause. " Signed by the preceding named deputies. " Meurice's Hotel, 30th October, 1846."

FIRE AT THE VICTORIA lIOTEL.—On Saturday night, about ten o'clock, considerable alarm was created in the immediate vicinity of Euston-square, in conic (pence of a report being circulated that the Victoria Hotel, the property of Mr. Edward Horne had taken tire. The report was strengthened by a mass of flames issuing through one of the windows do the basement floor. Information of the circumstance was, with.:',ut delay, forwarded to the engine-stations, and very speedily the engine of the London and Birmingham Rail way Company arrived, closely followed by several others. A large number of the rad way porters and constables instantly ascended the staircase, when they found a number of sheets and other articles, in the dry ing-room, in a general blaze, and had it not been for the assistance afforded, it is probable that a most fearful conflagration would have been the result. The flames were soon extinguished. Considerable damage was done to the contents of the room ; many of the sheets, toge ther with the racks, being destroyed, and the others severely injured. The fire was caused from some of the linen having come in contact with the pipe of the drying stove. the Marquis and Marchioness of Ely and family ar rived at Farrance's Hotel, Upper Belgrave-street, yester day, from Germany. \it\
