RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. ANALYSIS OF THE EVIDENCE OF MESSRS. GLYN AND HUDSON ON THE INEX PEDIENCY OF METROPOLITAN TERMINI. Mr. George Carr Glyn, chairman of the London and North Western, states that the surveys for art extension of the Lendon and North Western, proposed to be made in the ensuing session, were made for the extension to the City, and the notices given ; but the Bill not carried to Parliament. They deposited the first plans, but not the list. This was done just before the last session of Parliament. The estimates were all made for the line from the Camden station to Farringdon-street, the ter minus proposed. It was proposed that this line should go eastward from Camden• town until it Caine to the high level above Pentonville ; from thence by a tunnel under Skinner street, to Farringdon-street. This plan, pro bably the one which could have been executed with the least inconvenience and the least expense, aconsiderab:e portion of it being carried by tunnelling in that way. It was found, however, that the cost was so muck above the calculation originally made, that they were induced to give it up ; the original eetimate contemplated an outlay of from eOO.OOO/. to 700,0001. for the line and station. The detailed estimates amounted to upwards of a million, and it was not thought worth while, from the advantage to be derived from it, to incur such an outlay. The unexpected increase was to be laid principally to the station. The idea of a station in Farringdon-street was merely for goods. They might occasionally have run a train from thence for local traffic. It was, how ever, chiefly intended for a goods station. Mr. Stephen son'o model is almost entirely appropriated to goof s traffil. They never contemplated working their long passenger trains from thence, but thought it very likely that two or three trains in the course of the morning, and again in the afternoon, just for the people using the City for business, and living in their villas, might be convenient and useful. Their passenger traffic into the City bears a very small proportion to the traffic to the west-end; even taking the division of London at Euston square, the great proportion would be the other way. The area of the station at Camden town is about thirty acres ; this not all appropriated to goods ; the part ap propriated to roads is rather more than fifteen acres. In addition to which, Pickfords have their separate establishment of about two acres. The area of their station at Farringdon-street would be two acres and a half. A project, in lien of the Farringdon street exten sion, is at present entertained, in connexion with the East and West India Dock Company, and by some parties in the City, by which a line is to be carried from the Cam den station down to the East and West India Docks. As regards the export and import trade generally in goods, a better position than that cannot be conceived. The export dock of the East and West India Dock Company is very large, as well as their import dock ; there is more accommodation there than in almost any dock in London, and they have plenty of space to make a sufficient sta tion ; they can give six acres at least for that purp se. The Dock Company join with the London and Birming ham Railway Company in this scheme. It is proposed to come down to the basin at the entrance of the West India dock on the east side. This plan will give a water communication from the City and the other docks to this point, either through the City basin, or down the river, as may be most convenient. In addition to the dock traffic, they also expect a considerable traffic from the wharfs along the river and the other docks. They propose carrying passengers down to the docks ; but that is not the foundation of the plan ; they look almost entirely to a goods traffic. They will load the trucks at the docks station, and which will be conveyed to their destination without breaking bulk. There will be no transhipment, no change from one truck to another ; but they will come from Manchester, Leeds, and so forth, straight down to the West India Docks, where they will be discharged. Consider this a great advan tage ; it is one of the best plans for the trade of the city of London that witness ever heard of. The cost of cart age and of transhipment avoided by this plan ; and also breakage of the goods and pilfering. They have not much power of enlarging the goods station at Camden town ; they are enlarging the passenger station at Eus ton-square very considerably; they have made very large purchases. They will nearly double the area at Euston square ; at present it is about six acres; by the new pur chases it will be nearly twelve. From the experience of the last year, it is quite certain the increased area will not be too much. The traffic on the London and Bir mingham Railway is so much increased, that the York shire and Lancashire trade will in future be worked as two distinct branches of business at two sides of the station. This arrangement is absolutely necessary from the great increase of traffic. Inconvenience and delays in respect of mails described as arising from confined span of station. The goods traffic going to the West India Docks will very much relieve the station at Camden-town. That is one object that they have in view, as well as to save the merchants and importers the very heavy expense of cartage. The expense of cartage in London, compared with the expense of bringing goods from Manchester to London, is very considerable. Pick fords the largest carriers on the London and Birming ham ,line ; Chaplin and Horne next. All the large carriers using the north of England have establishments at Camden-town. As far as possible, all goods intended for exportation, would be loaded at the towns themselves for their destination at the East and West India Docks. There must, however, be some re-sorting, but not much. Their waggons contain something less than five tons. Five tons the maximum; five tons of goods, besides the weight of the truck. Decidedly prefers a smaller load than this; would rather put two tons into a waggon than incur the risk of re-packing and re-sorting; breaking bulk, till the goods come to their destination, to be avoided as much as possible. They like them to be sheeted over at the provinces, and not disturbed till they come to the place of delivery. Does not consider a ter minus for passengers at Farringdon-street at all desira ble for the Birmingham Company. A central station, unless with a large space of ground, which it is almost impossible to command in any central point in London will do no good whatever. In a central station the traffic of every railway to the north side, must be pro vided for. And unless separate divisions are made, to allow each company to carry on their own business dis tinctly and separately, the confusion will quite mar all the good effect of the measure. It is impossible to give every railway a separate division. It is not only start ing the passenger trains, but they must have depots of carriages, of waggons, and booking-offices ; and, in fact, a whole establishment ; not, perhaps, quite so large as the parent establishment at Euston-square ; but it must be a very considerable establishment ; and if that is mul tiplied for each railway, it becomes almost an impossibi lity. It must be multiplied as regards carriages, and so forth, though not as regards clerks so fully. In addi tion to the difficulty of obtaining sufficient room for transacting the business of the station, great incorive nience would arise from the distribution from a central pour - , through the existing thoroughfares, of so much traffic accumulated in one point. If the London and Bir mingham terminus alone were brought to Farringdon street, it would greatly impede the present thoroughfares in the neighbourhood ; but if in addition to this, several other railways also had their stations there, the streets would be entirely blocked up. Ludgate-hill and Fleet street would not be sufficient for the traffic under such circum stances. Ai regards Euston-square and Camden-town at this moment, from their having the whole traffic there to them,elves, there is little or no impeliment to arriv ing ; a man can calculate his arrival at his point with any fear of being mistaken about i% ; the traffic presses very much just at this moment, but witness never yet witnessed any impediment in reaching the destinacie freely and without difficulty. If all the railways were to be brought to one focus, no passenger could calculate upon arriving with certainty or punctuality at the point; the same remark applies to Paddington. The uncer tainty would be still greater if that focus were adjacent to the greatest and the most thronged thoroughfares in the metropolis, east and west. The passages along Holborn or Fleet-street at present are slow and difficult. Consi ders it very deairahle that the platform at the station should be under cover ; it is absolutely nee •ssary for the convenience of a passenger station. It is also very desirable that all the carriages in the station at night should be under cover. To provide for this, very lar g e sheds have recently been erected at Euston square ; it is very difficult to find accommodation for them all at certain periods of the year ; the traffic of a large railway varies so much according to the season, that it is almost impossible to provide sufficient space. The number of trains per diem on the London and Birmingham Rail way is 22 each way, and 10 goods trains. Mr. George Hudson, M.P., Chairman of the Eastern Counties and Midland lines, states that the former are promoters of a project for the extension of that railway to Farringdon-street. The great object of this extension is to get a station as central as possible with reference to the west-end and the city.—Approves of the locality of Farringdon-street for their terminus. —They have no in tention of abandoning their station at Shoreditch; it would still be useful for that part of the town.—Should divide the trains in some cases, and in other eases run certain trains on to the station at the West-end; some trains would run to Shoreditch and others to Farringdon street.—Believes that their station in Farringdon street, provided no other termini were brought there, would not inconveniently crowd the streets in the vicinity. —But if in addition to the Eastern Counties terminus in Far ringdon-street, other schemes are carried out, bringing the termini of several other railways near the same locality, it will undoubtedly cause considerable incon venience to the daily traffic of the metropolis.—Any great central station would be unmanageable in the •entre of London.—The station arrangements could met "arried out.—The thoroughfares would not be always assable.—lt is desirable, where it can be accomplished, have a central station; admits that most fully. —At •Tewcastle is centralizing the whole of a number of rail says at one given point ; there it is manageable ; but in London the traffic is too large; there would be delays in entering the station ; the - arrangements would he too complicated; there would be delay also in getting away from the station.—The same objection would apply to a number of stations brought very closely together, with out the confusion of station management which there would be in one common station. There would, however, he the same confusion in the streets.—Has no doubt, that if the Eastern Counties succeed in getting their ex tension to Farringdon-street, other railway companies will also desire to get termini in or nearer to the City than they are at present. Thinks the case of the Eastern Counties one really demanding either a West end sta tjoniir somethi ng equ i va l ent to a W est - en d stat i on. T he Eastern Counties have a large quantity of traffic which must come up to the West-end-, and if they are extended to York, the traffic will be very much increased. As far as the West -end traffic is concerned, therefore, it i s im portant, if they cannot get a should have one un i t i ng, in a est-end station_, that they gr d ea a t degree, both access to the City and to the West-end; being ( the traffic of ono set of rails, there would beano difficulty in ma naging it. But if the Birmingha m and ti i i e Wewstoulodf England traffic is brought to th e same and cau P se oia th t ' e it make a double amount of traffic, Possible confusion at the station. Is perfectl y •Fat e i a s t s i t that a central station embracing the whole of the „ i ii iv oy termini, or any great portion of them, in one 'ME SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EtIVNING, , NOVEMBER 19, 1646. given point, would be perfectly unmanageable. As re gards goods, the object of establishing a communication for goods between the diff, rent railways round London might he carried out with less inconvenience to the public lby a connecting railway rather wide of London. Something like the west of London, which forms a con nection with the Great Western, which might be carried on very easily round to the South Western. There might be a junction got by the Eastern Counties with that, if there was any necessity for it. The proposed railway from the Birmingham line to the docks, as it will cross the Eastern Counties, that might be made available for goods traffic. Thinks it of importance to the Eastern Counties, if they are to obtain any portion, or put themselves in a position to compete with the London and Birmingham for the northern traffic and that of Scotland, that they should have a station which would be considerably nearer to the West-end, and more accessible than the present station at Shoreditch. The Eastern Counties contemplate running down to Edin burgh and the north of Scotland. Without reference to any other scheme, the Eastnn Counties will eventually, under any circumstances, become connected with York either by one route or another. Is quite satisfied that if the London and York line is granted, still the Eastern Counties will find its way to York. A station more cen tral than the present station at Shoreditch is therefore absolutely necessary, to provide for the great access of traffic consequent upon the numerous extensions in the northern and eastern counties. The Eastern Counties hive a Bill before Parliament for enlarging the station at Shoreditch. If they get power to go to Farringdon street, it would be four or five years before they could get there. Their large traffic now amounts to about 8,000/. or 9,600/. a week, and which will be before long 14,0001. a week, nearly up to the London and Birming ham original traffic, therefore increased accommodation at Shoreditch is necessary. Should not object to a sta tion at or near Easton-square as a station for the Eastern Counties, as it would bring them up to the west end. Is interested in the Midland as well as the Eastern Counties. The Midland traffic comes to Euston-square, but will not always do so. By the lines now making a connexion between the Eastern Counties and the Mid land is established. Evidence as to the course of traffic in the different thoroughfares about Farringdon-street in reference to the establishmentof a terminus there. The Artillery-ground has been thought of as a station for the Eastern Counties line ; considers it a very good site. This scheme abandoned for the present. Is decidedly opposed to any enlarged central station in or near the city. The enormous traffic in the London streets and thoroughfares forms the chief objection to the central station ; is quite clear as to the advantage of connecting the railways in or near London ; it is most desirable in reference to goods. To attain this object would rather . go north or south of the great bulk of property ; north on one side and south on the other, than go through it. Present stage of the Eastern Counties Bill for the exten sion to Farringdon street. Was at first rather in favour of something like a central station ; but is perfectly satisfied, on considering the whole question, that it is an impracticable thing, and it would accommodate very few parties ; it would inconvenience the many for the few. As far as witness's experience goes, thinks there is not one person in five hundred who wants to go direct from one railroad to another. Pretty nearly the same objections which apply to a single central station apply to a collection of stations very near together in the heart of the metropolis. Is aware that the Northern and Eastern and the Eastern Counties at one time worked three or four miles conjointly. That arrangement caused great confusion to both lines. Example of the inconvenience experienced at Normanton from this cause. Public safety endangered by these com plicated arrangements. The number of passengers desirous to go right through London without stop ping so few that they are not entitled to the slightest consideration in considering the necessities for a general terminus for all the railways. Inconve nience experienced from divided management ex exemplified in the case of the Brandling Junction, which was originally worked by two:companies with twe sets of directors. It was utterly impossible to work the station under such circumstances with any satisfaction, either to the public or to any parties concerned. One company was compelled to purchase the sole right. Thinks is quite possible to carry into effect the joint occupancy of a short line and station by two companies as proposed by the North Kent and South Western at London bridge, or the South Eastern and South Western at London-bridge. It may be done when all parties are desirous to harmonise; but even with that witness's experience is decidedly against anything like a joint management. Should decidedly object to a great ter minus along the north bank of the Thames, extending from Westminster-bridge to Southwark-bridge. Thinks it would be a very fearful experiment; and if failed would be productive of great inconvenience and loss. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, NOVEMBER 18.

HINTS FOR FLOATING THE GREAT BRITAIN. Fix a belt of brewer's vats round the ship on the out- side, and tight bunged casks within. Let a platform be fixed round the ship, the timbers of which must go through the sides. The object of this platform is to be a rest for the vats during the time of fixing, and also that they may be of one equal height around the ship. The vats and casks may be prepared in Liverpool and sent over to Dundrum Bay in staves, and put together there, above high water mark. Let everything be so arranged that no order be given on board or on shore when the attempt is about to be made, only the order to commence. Every man ought to be fully instructed as to his work and place, then the only look out will be for each overseer to attend that the orders already given are carried out to the letter. Let all the vats be numbered, and a corresponding number plainly marked on the side of the ship ; the casks to be all ready cn board. Let a separate boat be provided for towing each ♦at to the side of the ship. W hen all things are prepared the vats to be floated to the sides of the ship, each to its proper mark ; suffi cient hands to be on board to fix the vats to the platform and the sides of the ship on their settling to their proper places on the receding of the tide. During such time the casks should be placed within the hold. Should such orders be fully carried out, it is antici pated that the Great Britain would be afloat before the high water of the following tide. Ilfracombe, Nov. 17. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL. Robert Randall, the driver of a cart, was bro , ight up on a warrant, charged with assaulting Elijah West, a city tollman, at Moorgate. West stated that the defendant drove up to Moorgate, on Saturday, with a cart laden with egg chests. Witness demanded 2d. The prisoner said he had never paid toll on such goods before, and. began to swear. Witness told him if he took wrong toll he was answerable to the law, and therefore the best way was to pay the money and inquire afterwards. The defendant said he should go back. Witness would not allow him to turn the horse, and said he would prevent that, for he might recover his toll three ways : either by distraining at the mo ment, by obstructing the passage, or by bringing an action at law for the money. The defendant then told witness to let go the horse's head, and he would pay him, but instead of paying the money he attempted to dash en. Witness again seised the bridle, and the defendant struck him with the butt end of the whip, with such violence as to dislocate his thumb, A friend, however, who came up, suddenly pulled the joint into its place while he was conversing with him. The defendant said the cart had only " empties," which had been brought back by the railway for nothing, and he had paid toll when they went into the country full. There were 22 fowl coops and nine crates for shipping fowls as sea stock. He struck the collector for taking hold of his liorse, which was a very high-spirited animal, and it was a wonder he had not bitten the col. lector and kicked the cart to pieces. He never shrank from paying what he believed to be due. He was sorry immediately afterwards. West stated that as the defendant was a poor man he did not wish to be severe. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE adjudged the defendant to pay ss. and the costs, which he managed to do in the course of two hours. REDUCTION of the DUTY on TEA. On Tuesday a deputation from the Liverpool Association for the Reduction of the Duty on - Tea me., by previous appointment, a number of gentlemen of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the Manche-ter Commercial Association, at the Royal Hotel. The Liverpool deputation consisted of Messrs. Christopher Rawson and Henry Winch, Deputy Chairmen of the Association; Messrs. William Rathbone, and A. Find lay. The gentlemen representing the Manchester Chamber of Commerce were Mr. Thomas Bazley, Pre sident; Mr. Lewis Williams, and Mr. T. Boothman, Secretary. The gentlemen appointed as a deputation from the Manchester Commercial Association, who were present, were Mr. James A. Turner, President; Messrs. James Atherton, Robert Gardner, John Pee!, It. J. Fairbridge, Leopold Reiss, Smith (of the firm of Mac gregor and Co.), and Hugh Fleming, Secretary. Mr. CHRISTOPHER RAwsoN having taken the chair, opened the business by stating the obj,.ei of the visit of the deputation to Manchester, which was to endeavour to enlist the sympathies and co-operation of the commer cial community of Manchester in eff ,rts making by the Liverpool Association to obtain a redaction of the pre sent high impost on tea. He remarked that it was use less to enter into the subject in any detail, as the Man chester gentlemen present were, in all probability, as well informed on the subject as the deputation them selves. The Liverpool Association was most anxious to enlist the powerful aid of Manchester in the efforts now being made, and the deputation would suggest the for • 'nation in Manchester of an association like their own, embracing all parties, and having for its object the re duction of the present heavy duties on an article of such general consumption as tea. Mr. BAZLEY, as president of the Chamber of Com merce, stated to the deputation, that the board of di rectors of the Chamber had had a meeting on Monday morning; but its object was simply to appoint a deputa tion to meet that from Liverpool, and they had not come to any final determination with reference to the ques tion, except that they were opposed to the present high duties on tea, and the Chamber had, on more than one occasion, proved themselves to be so. As to forming themselves into an association, he might state that the Chamber of Commerce would act in that capacity only, dealing with this as with any other purely commercial question, and certainly could not form themselves into an association for any one parti cular object. He added that the board had not fully considered the subject at their meeting of the previous day, but they would meet again shortly; when it would receive their further consideration. Mr. JAMES A SPINALL TURNER, president of the Manchester Commercial Association, said that the council of that Association had met on the previous day, on the subjeet of tea duties, and had appointed the par ties then present to represent the association at this meeting. They had also passed a resolution, to the effect that the association having, both by memorial and de putation, expressed its opinion as to the injurious effect of the duties on tea, would still continue to take such further steps as might be necessary ; and with this view they resolved that a further memorial be forwarded to Government, to be followed by a deputation to Lon don. As to the formation of an association here similar to that in Liverpool, he entirely concurred in the views already stated by Mr. Bazley, and must assure the de putation that the Manchester Commercial Association would hold itself aloof from any agitation on the sub ject ; merely taking it up as a commercial association, dealing with a commercial question. Some conversation ensued as to the objects of the Liverpool Association, the evils of the high duties on tea, and the means it was taking to awaken attention to the subject in various mercantile and manufacturing commu nities. It was stated in the course of the conversation, that the Liverpool Association had sent deputations to Leeds and other towns in England, and also to the principal towns of Seotland and Ireland, with the view of establishing. local associations, and obtain ing the co-operation of these companies in the move ment to be made for the reduction of the tea duties. The conference, which occupied about an hour, having terminated, Mr. Robert Gardner was called to the chair, and The thanks of the Manchester deputations were voted to Mr. Christopher Rawson, for his conduct in presiding, on the motion of Mr. T. BAZLEY, seconded by Mr. J. A. TURNER. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon the deputation from the Liverpool Association, consisting of the gentle men already named, waited by appointment, on Elkanah Armitage, Esq., the Mayor. They were received by his worship in the Mayor's parlour, the town clerk also being present. The deputation, having been introduced by Mr. Thomas Bazley, president of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, after briefly referring to the object of the association, stated that their object in seek ing this interview was to urge the Mayor to give the sanction of his influence and assistance in any movement which might be made for the purpose of carrying out the object which the association had in view. It was also stated to the Mayor, that the deputation had already had interviews with deputations of the Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Association. The MAYOR said he thought they had done quite right in seeking interviews with these commercial bodies ; for if they could move them, so far as Manchester was con cerned, they would accomplish their object. As for himself, he should be most willing to convene a public town's meeting on the subject, whenever a requisition should be presented to him for that purpose by his fellow-townsmen, as he sympathised to the fullest pos sible extent with the objects of the association. The deputation thanked the Mayor for his courtesy, and intimated that, in this movement, as had been the case in previous movements, they should prefer following Manchester to leading it. The deputation then withdrew.—lllanchester Guardian. TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP NEAR OLDBURY.• NINETEEN LIVES LOST. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—At an early hour yesterday morning another of those mining explosions, which have of late been of such frequent occurrence, and attended with such fatal results, took place at Round's Green New Colliery, situated at Newberry-lane, near Oldbury, about five miles from this town. It appears that between five and six o'clock in the morning in ques tion some of the men at work in the mine descended into the pit ; these were accompanied by the manager and the " doggy," followed by others—in all twenty five men and boys. It was the business of the person employed under the manager to ascertain the state of the ventilation, but whether he did so or not on this occasion does not appear. A short time after the de scent of the men, the manager (Mr. Holland) disco: vered that some parts of the mine were filled with sul phur, and he cautioned his son not to proceed further in the direction in which the vapour rose. The young man, at that moment, turned into a new " gate road," apart from the infected atmosphere. In less than three minutes he was startled by the report of an explosion, / which; according to his own words, de prived him of his hearing. The candle he held in his hand was extinguished, and he was left in total dark ness, and with difficulty preserved himself from suffoca tion. After the lapse of a few minutes he succeeded in groping his way to the shaft of the pit. Assktance was also rendered from the surface as speedily as possible, and on examining the mine the scene which presented itself was appalling. Bodies blackened and burnt were scattered in all directions. Sixteen were immediately removed up the shaft dead ; three died within an hour afterwards, and another is not expected to survive. Th e consternation which this sad accident has created in the neighbourhood it is needless to describe. Parents are left childless, and children rendered orphans. An inquest on the bodies of four of the unfortunate men was held this day, before George Henchliffe, Esq., coroner, at the Talbot Inn, Oldbury. A deep interest was excited by the proceedings. At the commencement of the inquiry the CORONER observed, that with a view to public convenience, he would classify the cases to be brought before the jury that morning. The same evidence would apply to each case ; those reserved after that day's investigation would require evidence only as to personal identity. The cases he then intended to take were those of Joseph Troth, Jacob Boden, John Windmill, and Samuel Boden. The jury proceeded to view the bodies of the four unfortunate men above named. The cottages in which they resided were extremely clean, but the bodies were scorched and dreadfully disfigured. Harriette Latimer was the first witness examined; she said—l am a married woman, and live in Oldbury. I knew Joseph Troth. He was a miner, and worked in Mr. Parker's pit. I saw him brought home yesterday morning. His body was dreadfully burnt. The witness gave the same evidence with regard to the identity and injuries of the two Bodens and Windmill. Thomas Royle—l live at Brown's-green, and am a banksman at Mr. Parker's coal-pit, at Newberry-lane, Oldbury. I was there when the men went down into the pit yesterday morning. The first men went down about half-past five o'clock. I saw Troth, Windmill, and the two Bodens go down about six o'clock. I saw Holland, the " butty," go down the pit, but whether it was before or after the four men named went down I don't know. He generally went down with them. Joseph Smith was the " doggy" of the pit, and managed under Holland. He generally went down before Holland in the morning, and he went down before him about half an hour yesterday morning. Five-and-twenty men went down the pit yesterday morning. Mr. Thomas Hales was the ground bailiff of the works. It was not his business to attend regularly and go down the pit. A little be fore seven o'clock I heard a great noise, as if gunpowder had gone off, and the fire showed itself at the top of the pit. In consequence of seeing the flames I made an alarm immediately, and several men came from a stone pit adjoining. When they came we got the ropes on as soon as we could and some men went down; and a mongst others I recollect the four persons respecting whom this inquiry is instituted being brought up. Some of the men who went down to assist the suffl-rera were brought up insensible. Sixteen men were brought up dead out of the pit. Five others were seriously injured, and four escaped unhurt. Three out of the five seriously injured have died since. I can't say whether or not the " d szm g ) :: took down the safety lamp ye sterda y morning. Some times he did and sometimes be did not. '1 'here are usually safety lamps in the pit, but sometimes they are brought up to be cleaned. After some further evidence had been gone into, The CORONER said he understood that the inquest upon two of the bodies at Dudley had been adjourned, and other inquests being appointed to be held the same afternoon at various distances, he should adjourn the present inquiry until to-morrow. The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers lie in three counties, so that there will be three separate inquests. TEST OF TILE QUALITY OF GUN COTTON.—M. Pelouze has announced an important discovery by two of his laboratory pupils; it is, that when xyloidine has reached its greatest degree of explosive power, then it is completely soluble in ether. Hence a test of quality, and a proof of the beet make.--Literary Gazette. ,visa: • ON DITS AND GOSSIP. It is understood that the bargain of the Wishaw and Coltness, made by the old directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow, but declined by the new, had been taken up on more favourable terms by the Caledonian, who will com mence carrying passengers up the Wishaw district, in conjunction with their Garnkirk trains, from the Town head station. _ . The Dundee and Perth have just entered on their lease of the Dundee and Newtyle. The Ayrshire, it is understood, have come forward to relieve the Paisley, Barrhead, and Hurlet, of the whole of the expense incurred last session, besides consenting to renew the former agreement to lease the line guaran teeing a fixed annual return of six per cent. upon the capitaL Mr. Strutt, M.P., Lord Granville, Sir E. Ryan, and Captain Brandreth, whose appointments as the members of the railway board we announced weeks ago, have been gazetted. On Monday last the new Commissioners, in pursuance of notification, opened their offices in Great George-street, Westminster, late the offices of the Birmingham's branch lines. The Midland have abandoned the route, for which they obtained an Act, for a branch to the Leicester and Swannington. It is not expected that they will experi ence much, if any, opposition for a new Act, as they have arranged with the principal proprietors of land. Surveys are in progress for a continuation of the Stour Valley line from Sudbury to Clare. GENERAL RAILWAY TERMINUS IN GLASClOW.—Cap tains Codrington, R.N., Evans, R.N., and Harness, R.E., appointed to institute an inquiry regarding a general railway terminus in Glasgow, have commenced proceed ings in that city. At the first meeting, on the 9th of November, it was stated that the commissioners proposed first to take the evidence of those who had signed the memorial to Government for the appointment of the commission ; and following it that of the authorities of Glasgow, the representatives of trades, the bridge trus tees, the Clyde trustees, and the police. • Mr. John Platford, who, owing to ill health, was obliged to give up the managership of the Sheffield and Manchester, has been succeeded by Mr. Eborall, jun., asiistant-general goods manager at the Birmingham station of the London and North Western. Mr. llar greave has been appointed superintendent at the Sheffield terminus, and Mr. Burney goods agent. A dinner has been given to Mr. C. A. King, manager and secretary of the Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge, on the occasion of his being presented with a service of plate, and a gift of 1,2001., by the directors and variiyas shareholders in that railway, in consideration of his ser vices, he having been manager from the opening in 1829 till the present time, when it has become vested in the Caledonian. CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC.—The power of the 15-inch atmospheric pipe, over the New Cross incline (1 in 100 for about three miles), it is expected, will be te.ted within a fortnight. The railways are amazingly popular at Lynn. The first week's receipts have been double those that were anticipated. _ _ The Scottish Societyli►f Arts have awarded their silver medal, of the value of ten guineas, to Mr. W. Ander-ton, mail guard, for his description and drawing of a railway indicator, at present only in use on the Dundee and Arbroath. TEMPERANCE PROMOTION.—The Grand Junction di rectors have granted a free pass between Birmingham and Crewe to any of the agents of Mr. G. S. Hendrick, a large iron-founder at West Bromwich, who employs four or five to travel through the country in the promo tion of the cause of temperance, t 3 which he devotes himself. Mr. Stewart, the manager of the Glasgow station of the Edinburgh line, has been appointed superintendent of the Kilmarnock station of the,Ayrshire. So general and unanimous is the feeling said to pre. nail in York in favour of the election of Mr. Hudson once more as Lord Mayor, that it is rumoured the lio❑ Gentleman has intimated his willingness to accept the office. In a communication to the Town Council of North ampton Mr. Hudson states that he has given Mr. Lid dell, the engineer, instructions to lay out the South Midland line in the best manner to serve Northampton, consistently with general advantage. Mr. E. Clark declines the honour of superintending the works at the Britannia-bridge. He says Mr. F. Forster, civil engineer, is the resident engineer of that portion of th e Ch ester an d H o l y h ea d , an d un d er his most able superintendence the works alluded to have been car ried on ever since their commencement. Raiiway " navvies " appear to have their feelings as well as other folks. One of them, Eli Jackson, was killed in the Dsrwen and Bolton tunnel, and a subscrip tion, amounting to 161., was immediately made up among his fellow " navvies " for his widow and children. An other favourite trait- is furnished in the fact that a " navvie," named Joe Singleton, aged 63, who was found dead in his bed, was followed to his grave by a large body of his comrades, on the works of the Lynn and Dereham. At a meeting of the Peace Society, Dr. Bowring observed, truly enough, that steam and railways were among the greatest agents of peace ; both tended to raise the standard of man to a higher level, broke down the barriers which separated states and empires, and blended and bound nations together in common interest. A pneumatic machine of 200 horse power. and a con densing. engine of 20 horse power, have just been tested on the Paris and St. Germain Atmospheric. M. Flits chat, engineer, conducted the experiments, which were in every respect successful. Several railway companies are stated to have written to the Paris Academy of Sciences for an answer to the following question:—When a train is running at great speed across a zone over which a thunderstorm breaks, what conduct should be pursued for the interest and security of the passengers: should the train be stopped ; should its speed be reduced ; or should it continue at the same rate ?—Railway Chronicle. WRECRING.—More than twenty persons have been summarily committed to Bodrnin gaol with hard labour, for from three to fi ve mont h s , f or plundering from the brig Samaritan and her cargo washed in by the soa, wrecked off St. Eval, near Padstow, during the !Ate gales. —Falmouth Packet.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 18.—Her Royal Highness the Prin cess Caroline of Hesse is expected to embark at Dover for Ostend on the 23d instant, and their Royal High nesses the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz will also embark at Dover for Calais about the 25th of the present month. Her Majesty's steam-packet Garland, Commander Smithett, is ordered to be placed at the disposal of the royal visitors to convey them to the Continent. His Excellency Baron de Beust and suite landed at Dover yesterday afternoon, at one o'clock, from Ostend, having arrived in the Garland, Commander Smithett, and left immediately, under a salute from the heights. The Nymph, 46 guns, receiving ship, was towed up the river yesterday from Sheerness to Woolwich, to be used as a receiving ship, instead of the Seringapatam. The Belvidere store ship was towed down the river yesterday from Deptford to the Nore, by the Lightning steam-vessel. The Woodlark, tender to the Mastiff, Master Com mander Thomas, has arrived at Woolwich from the Ork neys, and the Mastiff is hourly expected. The Amphion steam frigate, 36 guns, Captain Wil liams, was taken in the east dock to-day to be examined before proceeding to sea. The Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, is expected to arrive at Woolwich this afternoon from the coast of Africa and Portsmouth. The Gorgon steam-vessel and Terrible steam-frigate are daily expected at Woolwich, the former to be paid off at that port. The Niger steam-vessel, built at Woolwich dockyard from a design by Mr. O. Lang, and to be fitted with one of Mr. Smith's screw propellers, 13 feet in diameter, was launched to-day at 25 minutes past one o'clock, P.M. The vessel was named by Mrs. Dwyer, wife of Captain Dwyer, R.N. Amongst the officers present were Captain Henderson, C.B. of the Sidon steam-frigate ; Comman der Smith, of the William and Mary yacht ; Commander Hamond, of the Medea steam-vessel; Captain Wel lesley and Captain Knox, studying steam at the factory, and a number of officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Marines. The vessel is very strongly put to gether, and her decks have been coated with marine glue, and the heads of the whole of the copper nails and bolts sunk an inch each into,the wood, and then covered with a coating of the marine glue, and covered with a circular piece of wood about an inch thick, joined with the same material, forming an apparently solid deck easily cleaned and kept in the best order. The Niger went off the stocks in fine style amidst the cheers of the assembled spectators, and she looks re markably well in heir future element. The following are her dimensions : _ _ ft. in.

Fitzclarence , having conveyed the Court to Cowes this afternoon, re turned to harbour about half-past two. She came up to Spithead under sail and steam, and appeared to, cut through the water with unsurpassable velocity. The Scourge steam- sloop, Cammander Caffin, returned to Spithead during the night, the wind having changed, and her services in the way of supplying water and pro visions to the wind-bound ships in the Channel became thereby unnecessary.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 16.—We understand that all the persons condemned for the disorders at Delft, have with drawn their appeal to the Court of Cessation, and have signed a petition for pardon. CRACOW (From the Frontier), Noy. 9.—1 communi cate to you according to authentic information that the three protecting Powers of Cracow have taken the reso lution to put an end to the independence of the Republic which so seriously endanger the repose of the neighbour ing states, and immediately to sanction the union of the territory with the Austrian states, to which it already belonged, previously to 1809 As the Prussian and Austrian Commissioners, at the conference in Vienna, are said to have been authorised by their Courts to ar range some commercial matters interesting to the three Powers, without being obliged previously to refer to Berlin and St. Petersburg, and as these relations do not appear to offer any particular difficulties, it may be taken for grauted, that within a few days, the publication of this decision will take place in Cracow, and you may, therefore, consider the abolition of the Republic and the re-union of this little territory with Austria, as already done. The continued existence of Cracow, as an inde pendent state, has been recognised as incompatible with the tranquillity of the Polish territory, and the safety of Germany, and the three powers, which without the co operation and sympathy, nay, the slightest help of any other European power, had established the Republic, as it were by way of trial, whether a shadow of Polish in dependence were still possible, resolved at length finally to abolish their own work, which had not answered their expectations. I said the foundation of the Re public had been made by way of trial, as both origi nally, and by subsequent conventions, it was expressly decreed by the protecting powers, that, in case circum stances should render the continued existence of the Republic dangerous, or less advisable, it should be abolished, and the country again united with Austria. The establishment of the Republic was, therefore, com bined by the powers, with a conditional duration, either purposely, or in obscure anticipation of subsequent events. _ _ _ • BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The following cabinet order has been issued respecting gun cotton, and other similar pre parations :—" As the explosive substances known by the name of gun cotton, and other similar preparations, being preparations of cotton wools, &c., which, with re spect to their rapid explosion, are at least as dangerous as gunpowder, I hereby order, in consequence of your report of the 27th of last month, that from this time, throughout the extension of the whole monarchy, that all legal measures, and police ordinances, and penalties, relative to the manufacture, safe keeping, transmitting, and sale of gunpowder, at present existing, to prevent danger, shall be fully applicable in respect to the above mentioned manufacture. You are to publish this decree by my order, in the Bulletin of the laws.—Sans Souci, Nov. 6, 1846.—Signed, FREDERICK WILLIAM —To the Minister of State, Von Bodelschwingh, Uden, and Von Duesberg.—Prussian State Gazette, Nov. 14. THE POLISII BALL.—Last night the grand ball and concert, in aid of the funds of the Association of the Friends of Poland, took place at Guildhall under circumstances of more than usual attraction and splen dour. It was very numerously attended, upwards of two thousand persons being present, some few of whom were dressed in fancy costume. Amongst those present we observed—Lords Hertford, Granville, Munster. Torrington, Paulett, Dudley C. Stuart; Lady M. Fox, Lady Webster, Hon. Mrs. D. Darner, Mr. and Mrs. Townsend, Hon. Mrs. Abbot, lion. Captain Jocelyn, Colonel Brownlow Knox, T. Milner Gibson, Lord A. Lennox, Honourable C. P. Villiers, Montague Gore, M.P., J. A.

Duke, Baron and Baroness Dimsdale and the Misses Dimsdale. Adam's band supplied the music; Messrs. Bathe and Breach the refreshments; and in both departments everything went off satisfactorily. SENDING THE HAT ROUND.—We understand that the Eton Montem has been discontinued this year, in consequence of the Mendicity Society having given notice to the principals of the college that they should be com pelled to take all boys into cu3tody they found begging on the public highway.—Punch. THAMES. Mr. Peter Mellish, the vestry-clerk of the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, accompanied by the churchwardens, overseers, and other functionaries, came before Mr. Broderip to obtain summonses against various persons who endangered the public health by carrying oa nui sances in the parish. The complaint originated out of a public vestry meeting, held a few weeks ago, to consider the best means of abating the nuisances in the parish, and which followed the exposure of the carcases of dead cattle, removed in a putrid state from a screw steam-ship from Molland to the premises of Mr. Cowan, a bone mer chant and tallow-melter in New Gravel-lane, adjoining the London Dock. Mr. Mellish said, the parochial officers were anxious to carry out the 9th and 10th of Victoria, cap. 96, for abating nuisances; and he held in his hand the certifi cates of two medical gentlemen, that they had examined the premises of Mr. Swinott, a dust contractor, Mr. Cowan, bone boiler, Mr. Parsons, the proprietor of a laystall, and Mr. Rumsey, a tripe dresser, and that they carried on nuisances prejudicial to the public health. Mr. BRODER!? said he would grant the summons. This was a step in the right direction, and he hoped it would be followed up by others, for the improvement of the district and the comfort and health of the people. Yesterday Thomas Henfield, a coal-dealer and green grocer in the Commercial-road East, was charged before Mr. Broderip with assaulting a lad named James Brown, a toll-collector, in the Commercial-road East. The complainant, a boy about fourteen years of age, said the defendant drove his horse and cart up Jamaica street, which is at right angles with the road, and crossed the road to the opposite side of the way, where he took up a chest in his cart. On being asked for the toll, sixpence, or the ticket of the day, the defendant said he would not pay any toll, and attempted to drive on. Witness held his horse, and the prisoner then struck him a violent blow on the mouth, cut his lips, and caused him to bleed profusely ; threw him down, and after falling upon him, forced his knees into his breast, and put him in great pain. He tried to rise, but the de fendant would not let him, and seized hold of his necker chief, and twisted it until he could scarcely breathe. The defendant also put his foot on the top of his throat, and cut him across the hand with his whip. He was very seriously injured, and he really believed he should have been ridden over and killed but for the interference of the bystanders. His statement was cor roborated by two of them. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said the lad was holding on by the horse's reins, and that when he put his foot upon his neck it was to prevent the horse treading upon him. He called a witness, named Greenwood, who said the boy was not struck intentionally. The defen dant added that an important question was involved, whether he was liable to pay the toll, which he contended was illegally demanded. Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, said the defendant hai no right to assault the boy. If he considered the toll illegal, he might have paid it and summoned the boy, and in that way have tried the question. The defendant observed, that the tolls on the road were most exorbitant, and he considered he had a right to resist the demand of 6d. He only crossed the road from Jamaica-street, neither swerving to the right or left. He was always given to understand that on every trust in the metropolis he might drive his horse and cart 100 yards without being subject to toll; but the boy ran from a side bar, where there was no turnpike-gate or table of tolls, and demanded 6d. of him. Dempsy, a police-constable, No. 247 K, believed the distance was not more than 60 or 65 yards. Mr. Symons thought, in that case, the defendant would not be liable to the toll. Mr. BRODERIP said that, prima facie, the case of as sault was made out, and it was a most violent one. He would give the defendant an opportunity of raising the question at the sessions. He held him to bail, :himself in 30/., and two sureties in 15/. each. ESTMINSTER. Anne Thomas, a dirty, dissipated-looking woman, wag finally examined, charged with stabbing Esther Weave with a table-knife. Prosecutrix stated that she entered the Castle public house, Great Chapel-street, Westminster, on Sunday evening, and was advancing to the counter to get some refreshment, when the prisoner, without any provoca tion, struck her a violent blow in the face. She inquired what she did that for ? when prisoner suddenly raised her hand and stabbed her with a table-knife in the left cheek. Prosecutrix and prisoner both fell on the ground, when the latter made several other thrusts at her with the knife, and wounded her slightly in the arm. Pri soner was secured by those around, and prosecutrix con veyed to the Westminster Hospital. Prisoner was heard to say, a short time before prosecutrix entered the public house, that she would stick the first person who came in. A witness proved that the prisoner took the knife from her bosom and inflicted the wounds as &scribed. Prisoner, who had been drinking very freoly, endea voured to escape. Mr. F. Wildbore, house surgeon, Westminster Hos pital, proved that there was a superficial incised wound, an inch and a half long, on the left cheek, near the ear, which he dressed. There was also a slight wound on the arm. Prisoner impicred forgiveness, and the prosecutrix oinod in the entreaty. Mr. BURRELL observed that it was a very serious offence, and it was his duty to send it for trial at the Central Criminal Court. CLERICAL DISQUALIFICATION EXTRAORDINARY. — It is stated by a correspondent of the Times, that the Bishop of London hits refused to receive a clergyman into his diocese on the ground of his being an Irish clergyman. The prejudice against poor Paddy seems to be increasing. Perhaps we shall have the Bishop advertising for a curate, atter the manner of a publican in want of a potboy, with the notification—" No Irish need apply."—Punch. A FRENCH SUICIDE WITH GUN COTTON account is given in a French journal of a gentleman com mitting suicide by cramming his ear full of the cotton and igniting it with a cigar. 1............... ,ea...r........................gaerm.0...... .1..................."' ...--- la n l i f R.O.th '— WORKS by ROBERT J.
