The recent gold discoveries in New South Wales and Victoria ate causing so great an increase in the population and general commerce of those import ant colonies, that the field hitherto presented there for the profitable e mployrnent of capital in banking transactions has be come greatly and suedenly enlarged. It has accordingly been determined to establish a new banking es ab.ishment under the above designation, the chief management of which will be vested in a liberal of Directors in London. Branches, with local directories, will he formed at Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, and at Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, and at such other towns in the colonies as may be deemed advisable ; and the im mediate superintendence of all sub-colonial establishments will be placed in the hands of a gentleman of credit end colonial experience, and the selection of a colonial inspector will receive the most careful attention of the Directors. From the large profits hitherto realised by the Banker in the Australian colonies, and from the fact that there are only two estab lishments in England at present employed in conducting banking affairs with the important colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, there is every reason to anticipate that the London, Australian, and Colonial Chartered Bank will be a most desirable investment, and a source of great gain to the shareholders. It is proposed that all the usual business of banking establishments shall be carried on—as, the issue of notes, discounting, receiving money on deposit, granting letters of credit upon the different establish ments of the Company, making advances upon bullion, gold dust, and other undoubted securities, and the transaction of all other usual banking business in the colonies ; and it cannot be doubted that the high rate of interest obtained there for advances on good security, and the effect of the recent gold discoveries, will ensure a large profit upon the business of the Company and its local branches. The absence of Banking Establishments at the Cape of Good Hope has also come under consideration ; and it has been determined forth with to establish branches at the principal towns there. By so doing, it is considered that the business, and consequently the profits, of the Company will be materially increased, whilst a long-felt want will be supplied, and the valuable resources of this enterprising colony be de veloped and improved by the assistance thus rendered to the mer cantile community and emigrants. It is intended TO' apply forthwith lb( a Charter of Ineeeseorafiene one or the objects or whlen will be to seeure the limitation of liabllltS of each shareholder to the amount of his shares. Five thousand of the shares will be reserved for allotment in the colonies. The Deed of Settlement of the Company, to be executed conform ably to the terms of the Charter, will contain a power to increase the capital to 1,000,000/. sterling; and in the event of such increase taking place, priority of allotment will be given to the existing share holders, and a portion of such new shares will also be reserved for allotment in the colonies. The capital, in the first instance will consist of 500,0001., in tn evente t of; which the charter sum, arter 25.000 .11. shares, on which a deposit of 1 , /. ss. per share is to be paid on theasternot beingdeducting obtained. expenses, A - bereturned instalmentin of 11. 55., to be paid at a period of not less than two months. The remainder of the capital will be called for at intervals of at least three months ; and the Directors feel confident that no call will ex ceed 2/. 10s. per share.

In answer to this, Mr. Shepherd, the deputy-chairman, who presided, stated that the di rectors desired to exercise prudence in their manage ment and to place the undertaking on a thorough stable basis before they increased the dividend. They bad not yet completed their fleet of vessels, and there were also other arrangements to be perfected. After some general observations, the dividend and accounts were then agreed to.

Respecting the latter itmay be proper to explain, that to meet the increased risk from the large increase of the company's fieet, it has been considered expedient to raise the aura annually v e i placed to the credit of the insurance fund from 25,0004 afr:mu : : augmentationistpgeoprlrayi influenc ectooeaat in receipts of to 45,0001, and the additional 10,0001. for the first half of this year is accordingly charged. The expenditure for provisions' has been considerably augmented by the additional voyages performed, and by the greater num ber of passengers conveyed. The charge for general service and stations' has been increased by enlarging tke company's premises at Southampton to carry on more extensive repairs of ships and machinery con sequent upon the Brasil and River Plate communi cation, and also by an outlay _ upon the wharfs at St. Thomas ra.774 Jamaica. Adverting to the credit side of the account, there is a much greater re ceipt under every head of 'freight and passage money,' outward,' intercolonial,' and homeward, affording evidence of the success that continues to attend the com pany's operations. The Conway, after undergoing re pair and receiving new boilers, was dispatched to the West Indies as an extra ship on the 11th of September, preparatory to being placed upon the new experimental route between the Spanish Main, Jamaica, Nassau. and Savannah, intended to be commenced on the 22d of next month. With referrence to irregularities in the arrivals of West India packets, it is questionable if they can be altogether avoided, where the combinations are so intricate and so depeadent upon each other. On the West India Mail service the company's ships touch at no less than twenty-eight different ports, and at all hours of the day and night, involving considerable risk, and frequent unavoidable delays; whereas on the Brasil and other direct routes, comprehending single voyages across the ocean, there is little or no risk of detention from circumstances beyond the possibility of control, and hence it may be observed that the ssrvice between England and the Brazils has been performed throughout with the most perfect regularity. R-specting the West India line, however, the directors confidently anticipate that when the proposed arrangements shall have been completed, by which largest class ships will be em ployed exclusively between Sopthampton and St. Thomas, greater dispatch and punctuality will be at tained, and the general comfort of passengers mate rially promoted. With a view also of accelerating the intercolonial service between Sr. Thomas, the Pacific, Ocean, and Mexico, two ships specially suited for those particular branches are now in progress of construction. The Panama Railway continues to progress rapidly. The loan made to the proprietors by this Company hav ing fully answered the purpose, and the railway stock having risen to a premium, it was considered expedient to dispose of the debentures hold as security, and a sale has been effected, realizing a profit of 7,0631., at the same time retaining to the Company the site allotted to it at Maazinolle Island, whither workmen and materials have been already sent to construct the necessary whelk* and premises. In conclusion, the directors recommend a dividend for the first half of the current year at the usual rate of 2/ per share, free of incems-tax. WORKING ACCOUNT FROM IST JANUARY TO 30T11 JUNE, 1852.

The attendance not only of those actu ally engaged in the trade, but of buyers from London, Liverpool, and all parts of tho country, was more nu merous than for a long time past, and af aer a f u ll discus sion of the circumstances of the trade, there seemed to b e a general concurrence in the vi ew th a t t h e recen t rise in the price of iron was fully justified. Very large orders were offered to-day by English cJusumers and merchants, and although iu some instances they were re fused by the largest makers in the anticipation that a further advance may take place before Christmas, others, who have less faith in the continued pressure of foreign orders, accepted these offered to-day rather freely. Up to the present time the ironmasters have derived little, if any advanta g e, f rom th e re cent advance in the price, most of them having large unexecutcd orders at the old price, which are yet unsatisfied. Pig iron is scarce, and the demand being large and stooks low, prices are not only firm, but another advance is anticipated.

DREADFUL 6LI.IERT ACCIDENT.—An accident by which three men were killed occurred on Friday, at Dow lais. From an inquest w hich has since been held on the bodies, it appears that the deceased men were in the act of descending the shaft of the pit in which they were en gaged when the " bucket" struck against the aide wall of the pit, and so severe were the injuries they received in con sequence of this collision that all three expired in the course of the day. The inquest is adjourned for the production of further evidence as to the real cause of the accident. CHANCERY .

The extension of the railway system on the continent, its int-roduc lion into Denmark, Norway, and Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national point of view, that the latter should no longer be isolated from the grand chain of European communication. To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a concession for the construction of a series of trunk and branch lines, adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and to its foreign traffic. The construction of a Grand Trunk Line between Stockholm and Gottenburg has been, in the first instance, determin id en, compris ing an extent of 350 miles, by which means the great design of uniting the Baltic and the North Seas will be accomplished, and, - ift connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the journey from St. Petersburgh to London will be accomplished in half the time occupied, at present ; the navigation of the Sound will be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues, together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay of a long voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, on the North Sea, being accessible during a greater portion of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a much later period in the year than at present ; the Russian traffic from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice, and in winter from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line. The object of the present Company, is the construction of the first section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English miles, between Roping and Hult, which will connect the two prin cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Modern ; the remainder of the route, between Stockholm aid Gottenburg, will be accomplished for the present by the steam-boats through the lakes. The concession for the first section has been obtained from the Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent., on a capital of 416,679/., thus offering to the capitalist a highly profitable investment secured on the faith of one of the most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue. From the annual sum of 20,8331. thus guaranteed by the Go vernment, 4 per cent. per annum will be paid tothe shareholders, and the remainder will be applied to create a sinking fund to re deem the entire capital ot the expiration of forty years. It is important to observe that the shareholders will be entitled to the entre profits of the railway, which, it is confidently expected, `will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into with a responsible English con tra,,tor, from whom security has been taken for the exe.cuatin of the entire - works of the line, and to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on such terns as will secure the execution of the whole, the payment of all preliminary expenses, cost of management until the opening of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the period of con•struction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701. Full powers are granted to the Company of estatlishin,g au electric telegraph, with the usual privileges attached thereto Four per cent. Interest will ba allowed bs the Shareholders on their calls, from the day of payment, during the period of con struction. The payment of interest and dividend will take place at Stockholm, Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a fixed ra.e of exchange of twelve rix-dol• ars banco to the 1/. sterling.

T HE DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 1 Chief Office, 22, Moorgate-street, London. The new and peculiar feature of this Company is the Deposit Sys tem of Assurance, combining nu) advantages of a Savings' with a Life Assurance Company. By this plan a person may invest any sum, from 11. upwards, and, without any further payment, at once secure a Policy for a cert ain amount commensurate with the age of the party and the amount deposited. He may also increase his payment, and thereby incre:tse his assurance, decrease it by with drawing any sum at any time, o r he may draw eut all he has paid in. For example :—A person, aged T wenty-five, depositing 10/. with the Company, will at once secure a Policy for 261. 12s. 3d., payable at death, whenever it should happen, with full power to increase, decrease, or draw oui the 10/. 11 , 3 has deposited.

VERY PARTI.AL STATEMENT of the real fact it would be, were we to mention as many new styles of dress as would fill an ordinary advertisement, the majority would then be omitted. E. MOSES and SON'S new inventions for the Autumnal Season are beyond description, and their universal appli cation to every kind of dress re riders them successive series of no velties, to particularize which is impossible ; but it is the plainest statement they can make, and the most likely to be fully proved— that their dress for Youths and Children i li s ne . wholly Their Ov partment presents an array of new styles, securing comfort, gentility and economy. Dress Suits in magnificent materials all new, and cut and finished in the highest style. Sporting Dress has received a complete reformation in Cut, Make, and Materials. The Cut se cures comfort, the Make exhibits the most accomplished workman.. ship, and the Materials are novel, waterproof, and elegant, at prices much below any other Establishment . PAROCHIAL AND UNITED EMIGRATION. These arrangements are likely to prove beneficial in many re spects ; should they fail in any, it will be expenses incurred by pur chasing unsuitable outfits. It is not at all probable that Gentlemen of business habits will recklessly expend the resources of Parochial or other Institutions on improper and high charged Outfits they cannot be expected to possess a thorough acquaintance with the Goods which should be comprised in suitable Outfits. To such, E. MOSES and SON respectfully offer the advantages of their longer practical experience in this branch of trade, and will at any time be happy to exhibit thei r une q ualled Outfits, and gratuitously supply all needful information to Societies, or to private individuals. The ad vantages E. MOSES and SON can confer in Outfitting are o f the most important character—extent of Stock in every kind of Goods, the most suitable articles, and the best quality.

On Wednesday morning the traffic on the main line of the Great Northern Railway was suddenly intuvrupted by an extensive " slip" of earth in the Spittal-gate cut tings about a mile south of Grantham. It appears that the stratum through which the cutting is formed consists of marl and clay - and 31ostAb to heavy rains having penetrat.ed into tne , crams fissures at the cutting and expanded the soil at the bottom, the west side suddenly gave way about 'four o'clock on Wednesday morning, under the vibration of a heavy goods train which was procee di n g northwards. Some thousands of ton s o f eart h fell upon both lines of rail, burying the engine and foremost trucks of the train, which of course was brought to a standstill. The engine-driver and stoker both escaped unhurt, and they at once proceeded to the Grantham station to give the alarm. On examination it was found that the down rails had been completely forced from their bed , and with the engi ne and tender deposited on the other line of rails. The slip extended 100 yards, and it is not the first that has occurred here. The obstruction was so groat that it was feared some days at least must elapse before the traffic could bo resumed. Mr. Denison, the chairman of the Great Northern Company, vi sited the scene of the acc id ent i n the course o f t h e morning, and a large force of men were employed to clear the line. The through-passeser trains were forward ed from dint Peterborou g h to Re df ord By by way of the loop. of extraordinary exertions, day and nit, the up- he line was cleared yesterday morning in time to gh allowed of t he morning express which conveyed the Duches s of Kent and her suite.

No ceremony took place, but in consequence of the large number of persons assembled on the platforms through out the day and in the vicinity of the station, it was deem. d necessary, in addition to an enlarged number of the railway police, under the orders of Mr. Superinten dent Williams, al s o to have a detachment o f the S divi sion cf metropolitan police on duty, under the direction of Inspector Chainpneys. Notwithstinding the incom plete state of the general building, the waiting-rooms are elegantly fitted up, and furnished wi:h a due regard to the comfort and convenience of the pa ssen g ers, The entire station was lighted up on Wednesday evening, and from its vast magnitude, and the immense number 'of lights the appearance was that of a grand illumination. All the trains departed and arrived throughout the day (yesterday) without the slightest accident. THE MURDER IN SHEPIIERD-STREET. Mr. Longhorn, the deputy-coroner for Westminster, held the inquest yesterday, at the Duke of York public house, Shepherd•street, Oxlord-street, on the body of Ann Matthews, alias Brown, aged 51, who was mur dered by her nephew, James Phillips, who resided with her at No. 11 in the same street. The evidence was substantially the same as that which had been already given before the magistrates on Mcnday last, with the exception of the post mortem examination, which was made on Tuesday by Mr. Francis Clarke, surgeon, of No. 14, Henrietta-street, Cavendish-square, who was called into the house at the time of the occurrence, on Saturday night. Mr. Clarke stated that on examining the body he found numerous bruises of long standing, and an abrasion and blow of recent date on the left hip, as if caused by a boot; the flesh was of a black and dark green colour, extending reread to the loins. On removing the scull-cap and dura matea, the surface and vessels of the brain were loaded with venous coagulated blood, and there were patches about the size of a five shilling piece on each side of the head, but considerably larger on the left side than the right. The rest of the body was remarkably healthy. He attributed the cause of death to concussion of the brain, and he believed the blows on the temple had caused the concussion, as the internal appearances corresponded with the marks out side. Either of the blows was quite sufficient to produce death, especially that on the left side, which was enough to crush an .ox. lie laid no stress on the stamping on the stomach of the deceased by Phillips, as he found no marks to correspond to that startement. This being the whole of the evidence, the coroner summed up, when the jury returned a verdict :of " Wilful m urder" a g ainst James Phillips; and the proceedings terminated. SOCIETY FOR RELIV,F OF WIDOWS AND ORPHANS Or MEDICAL MEN IN LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. --A half yearly general court of the members was held on Wednesday evening, at the society's new rooms, in the house of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society, Berners-street, Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, Bart., the president, in the chair. After the reading of the minutes the court sanctioned court and confirmed a donation of te n guineas paid by of directors to the son of a widow, although above 14 years of age, to aid him in emigrating to Australia. A ballot then took place for officers an d directors for ti e n e the place of nsuing year. Mr. r. Travers was elected a vice-presidnt, i Vincent, deceased; Drs. Dew and Burrows, Messrs. Ware, jun., Paget, Cathron, and Peter Hood, were elected directors, in place of the six senior directors who retire in rotation. All the other members of the court were re. elected, and thanks were voted to the preeidat, THE QUEEN'S RETURN FROM SCOTLAND. The Britannia tubular bridge was yesterday the object of a special visit, and a minute inspection by her Majesty and the Royal Family., Mr. Robert Stephenson, the engineer, and the Che Aer and Holy head Railway Company, the props tietors of the gigantic structure, may well feel prou d of the com pliment paid to them. In the case of Mr. Stephen son it marks with the highest sanct ion the genius which enabled him to conceive and the executive ability which he displayed in completing a work so stupendous. The railway company may also congratulate themselves on an event i.vhich worthily signalizes their enterprise as a col nmercial body, and at the same time calls attention to one of the grandest manifestations of our industrial energy as a people. There must surely be same mystical influence about that little island of Anglesea, that the desire to bind it to Great Britain has called forth the two most wonderful engineering triumphs of the century. One would fancy that alarm had h(!en felt lest it should, some dial stormy night, drift away down the Channel, or perhaps goat over, w ith an easterly gale, to Ireland; or coalesce with the Isle of Man, and make that ancient kingdom once more formid able. It certainly is a remarkable testimony to the indomitable spirit of this country that, to compre hend a little island in our general cyst em of uninter rupted land traffic, we should thus 'bridge over an arm of the sea, and, at an enormous cost, construct works to which the greatest architec:tura.l achieve ments of ancient times are mere child's play. The truth _reap, to bp, that as in agriculimre a wealthy territorial aristocracy has placed at the command of practical men the experimental resats of amateur farming, as in our marine we have yachting, and for the improvement of our horstileeb racing and hunting, so, though in a larger and. grander sense, the mechanical genius of this country has a fancy development and a favourite arena for display. What Lord's grounds are to the cricketer or Woolwich marshes to the artilleryman, or the floor of the House to the statesman, or what the boards of old Drury once were to the great tra gedian, such is the Menai Strait to the civil engineer. The extraordinary beauty of the scenery enhances the splendour of his achievements, and blue hills and rushing water, the variegated banks oL' the Strait, the broken outlines of the mountainous h orizon softened by distance, mansions and humbler dv vellings gleam ing in the sunshine, and ships gliding along with the current, all shed their influences on his triumphs. For the last generation Telford hung his graceful iron web across the Strait, and it remains an enduring monument of his genius; but those we re days of ordi nary roads and slow locomotion, and it was reserved for Robert Stephenson, the son of the man who more than any other founded our iron highways and put steam power into hareess, to show witat in our times engineers cin do in carrying out thee vast railway system with which their professional fame is now so indissolubly associated. The way in which the Britannia tubul.tr bridge was first suggested to Mr. Stephenson' B mind forms a most instructive portion of its history, and may fairly claim a space in this narrative. Whela the Chester and Holyhead Railway was first 1' pruned. the plan contemplated for crossing the Strait was a splendid iron bridge on two arches, the propc , rtions of which may be conceived when it is stated that, whereas the span of the central arch of the Southwark-bridge, the largest of the kind in the world, :tis 240 feet, Ms. Stephenson proposed that the span of 'each arch in this instance should be 450 feet. The cost was to be 200,0001,, and in consideration for so large an outlay —at such a point the Government of Sir R. Peel consented, by an act unprecedented be the history of English railways, to pay 20,0001. a ye' sr, during seven years, for the transmission of th, 3 mails. This arrangement still holds, but, un fortunately for the company, the Admiralty obj ected to the bridge, as likely to obstruct the navigation of the Strait, and the consequence was that (his bridge plan being condemned) Mr. Stephenson, as engineer, found himself in what the Yankees sesll a " regular fix." The idea of an iron tube then occurred to him, but the expense of constructing it es 'as so enormous that, it is said, could he have been isermitted to fill up the Strait with a solid embankn tent of masonry 1,850 feet long, 160 feet high, and ( :ontaining about 5,000,000 cubic yards of material, he would have found it cheaper and far easier to do so. This will give some idea of the strong necessi .ty under which ..asaaasa_hasa is sasseo r eajeasa,a, c-a'ttlis magnitude of an undertaking which left such a preferable alter native, and of the difficulties which :Englishmen will surmount in the prosecution of ente rpriges to which they have once committed themselve s. The Chester and Holyhead Company constructed this great tube at a cost of 700,000 i., and they recei' ve from Govern ment the annuity of 20,0001. for seven years, granted to them in consideration of a design involving only a 200,0001. outlay. The original a hareholders have never had a penny of dividend upon their shares, and the packet-service to Dublin, which they formed in connexion with their line, after having been brought by them to the highest porfection, is still entirely dependent for its support on the passenger traffic across the Channel. The mail, contract, having heen exposed by the Government to. public competi tion, was given (perhaps rightly in principle) to the Dublin Steam-packet Company, wiithout any refer ence to the enormous cost of the great tube. Will that cost be eventually covered, andl this marvellous enterprise, in the long run, comyensate those en gaged in it ? Let us hope it may. Paxton has been laying out a park close to the bridge, which looks as if a new town where intended to be formed there—a sort of Brighton for the busy toilw urn population of Lancashire. That will help somewhat; and, should Ireland ever prosper, the compan:y must share her 'mproving fortunes The Royal party left the Penryn Arms at half past nine o'clock, in carriages, and proceeded by the turnpike road to the suspension-bridge. Standing at the north end of the Britannia tube, and looking along the Strait towards Telford's great work, for some minutes nothing could be seen of the illustrious travellers ; and the salutes fired from different points on either shore, the echoes of which were pro longed among the hills, alone indicated that they were coming. It was a magnificent October morn inn., the night-mist being lifted up like a veil from the face of the landscape, and the mountains, with Snowdon chief among them, being clear and well de fined on the horizon to their remotest summits. The tide was flowing high through the Strait, covering everything that it was desirable to conceal, and even threatening two or three little houses perched upon islet rocks in the channel. The faint sound of a cheer reaching the tube indicated that the Queen was crossing the suspension-bridge, which is about a mile off, as the crow flies. Strainiog the eye sight at that distance, the Royal carriages could just be seen, four in number, and diminished to a size appropriate to Queen Mab's rather than Queen Victoria's stable. A louder cheer welcomed the ar rival of her Majesty in Anglesea ; then, after a few minutes waiting, the scarlet-coated outriders were qbserved heading the cortege, which received, as it passed along, the greetings of the peasantry pic turesquely grouped at different points. It went on to Llanfair station, which is about three-quarters of a mile from the north entrance of the tube, and there, on alighting and entering the train, the Royal party were received by a guard of honour belonging to the Welch Fusileers, the regiment which very appro priately at Bangor and other points in the Princi pality has performed the military duties a tt e ndant on their bead, Queen's visit. The Fusileers exh ibit at bead, with characteristic Cambrian pri de, arearYo fine by white goat, presented to them som e years her Majesty.

Looking through the tube, which t- , 1,850 feet long, you see the firebox of the engine gleam-, ing as it advances from the other extremity. You hear the throb of the locomotive, and the reverberation of the iron ; the shriek of the steam-whistle startles you with its almost demoniacal expression ; and, as you listen and gaze, a mass of sound, gradually accumu lating to a perfect hurricane, swells upon the ear, while the brightening glow of the furnace and the majestic progress of the engine fill the eye and im press the imagination. It is a fine and an imposing sight to see an express train sweep by, but the effect is increased a hundredfold in the Britannia-bridge, and should be tested by all who visit it. While the 1 Queen passed slowly through the tube to the Car- narvonshire end, the Prince, accompanied by Mr. Stephenson, traversed the roof in the same direction. It is slightly curved to allow the water to run off, and reminds us very much of the deck of a vessel or the top of some gigantic omnibus without a " knifeboard." The view from it is magnificent, and no description can do it justice. Arrived at the south, or near end of the bridge, the Royal party descendrid to the water's edge, and sur veyed from beneath the gigantic proportions of the whole structure. This gives by far the best and most imposing conception of its true magnitude ; for, like St. Peter's, at Rome, and other masterpieces of archi tecture, so just are the relations of each part to the other, and so severe and simple the style in which the whole has been designed, that at a distance the stu pendous dimensions are not appreciated, and except from beneath there is no way of inspecting it as whole close at hand. There you can look up and see what it is. To attempt any description of it now would be useless; for as far as it can be described it already has been, and those who have not visited it are sufficiently familiar with its form through the me dium of illustrations ; but there are some striking facts with regard to it that may be mentioned, and that will help to give an idea of what a personal inspection can alone enable one fully to appreciate. When the best method of raising the tubes was first discussed some thought that it should be done as speedily as possible— that the hydraulic presses should be set in action without any attempt to support by packing underneath the lift, which they accomplished, and that any risk from the failure of tackle in having each tube sus pended without support should be encountered. In this way the lifting might have been done in twenty lour hours, whereas it took three weeks. Mr. Ste phenson, after due consideration, adopted the safe course. He made the six foot lift of the press occupy a period of three hours, and the raising and packing underneath were carried on so simultaneously that the tubes were never for a moment left without support. The bursting of the press, a few days after operations were commenced, proved the wisdom and necessity of his caution. Had he not exercised it the Britannia. bridge would never have been completed, and it was no doubt with feelings of justifiable pride that he yes terday showed to her Majesty and the Prince the frac tured cylinder, which has been placed on a pedestal near the bridge—a monument of the prudent skill which watched over its construction. Another illustration of what this work is may be drawn from the fact that the chains used to raise the tubes were ten inches square each, or about the thickness of a man's body, and that, notwithstanding that enormous strength, in the process of lifting they stretched en inch and a half, returning to their old dimensions when the pressure was withdrawn. The elasticity of iron was known previously, but had never been tested on so grand a scale before, and it certainly does give a tremendous impression of this bridge to know that the most massive wrought iron tackle " gave" in the progress of it almost like Indiarubber. Not only did the chains yield, but through the iron wall of the cylinder, ten inches thick, the water oozed like perspiration wrought out from its pores by the enormous power exerted. Ot the strength of the tube Mr. Stephenson gives the following satisfactory assurances :—He states that a line-of-battle ship might be suspended from the central point between either pair of towers, withcut injury to the structure ; that it would bear at those points a pressure of 5,000 tons ; and that, although sawn completely through, a rail way train could still be run across with perfect safety. He maintains that it is more rigid than the ordinary permanent way of earthwork, and further, that it is stronger for the work it has to do than the rails in use on the different lines throughout the country. Mr. Stephenson explains with great clearness how this wonderful strength of the Britannia-bridge, which is double that of the Conway, arises ; but the account of it would involve mechanical details more intricate than seems appropriate in such a narrative as this, and the bare statement is therefore given. On leaving to resume their seats in the train the Royal children took with them several bits of stone and brick as memen toes of their visit, and Prince Albert, turning to Mr. Stephenson, said to him, "It is a stupendous work, and an honour both to you and to the company." In his recent work "on metalwork and its artistic de sign," Mr. Digby Wyatt alludes to the Britannia bridge as possessing the highest merits for the severe grandeur and noble simplicity of its style. An in spection of it more than confirms the justice of his encomiums. The vastness of its proportions, the absence of all attempts at frivolous ornamentation, the grave character of the outiinm:fortus, --dud tt gigantic scale of the dimensions, uninvaded by Bur t extravagance, all lead the mind of the spectator back to the sombre and stately relics of Egyptian architec ture. The huge lions that guard the entrances are in harmony with such associations, and if on closer inspection the mysterious sphinx-like air of repose is found wanting, perhaps a wakeful-looking animal best befits our times, when everybody is compelled to keep his eyes as wide open as possible, and when even the Pyramids would not be tolerated, unless they could be put to better service than the safe custody of mummies. From the Britannia Strait the royal train sped its way, at eleven o'clock, with all p oss ibl e di s patch southward, its occupants receiving at e very ava ilable point in their progress the hearty tributes of a loyal people. In their rapid drive they passed over the lines of no less than six railway companies, the ma nagement of each assuming the responsibility of so precious a freight in turn, and all discharging their duties with the most praiseworthy punctuality, and without the slightest contre temps. As far as the Saitney Junction, on the Chester and Holyhead line, Mr. Trevithick and Mr. Binger, of the London and North-Western Company, who work the line, had the charge. Then the care of the train passed to the Shrewsbury and Chester Company's officials, who brought it to Shrewsbury through fine ro mantic scenery, and glimpses of beautiful valleys like that of Llangollen, at about two o'clock. Here the royal party received a very warmhearted welcome from the inhabitants, collected in great numbers in and arousal tie stat :on , which was most tastefully fitted up for the occasion. A loyal address was presented to her Majesty, who was received by the Earl of Powia and the Yeomanry Cavalry of the county. After a short delay for luncheon, the train proceeded along the Shrewsbury and Birmingham line to Wok verhamptou, which it reached at about 20 minutes past three. There, again, the station wee crammed full of loyal subjects, and nicely decorated. The Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Wrottesley, Lord Lewisham, and Mr. Thornely, M.P., were on the platform to receive her Majesty, and the inhabitants, by their chief magistrate, presented a dutiful address, from which the following is an extract Your Majesty will not fail to perceive, in this im mediate neighbourhood, the signs of an industry which, although not improving its appearance, yet adds essen tially to the wealth of the country. " Wolverhampton i, the centre and metropolis of a district in which more than n th ird of a million of your Majesty's subjects are employed in various occupations c onnected with the manufacture of i r on and hard ware. " We are happy to inform y our Majesty that this very large population is now ful l y employed, and in the enjoyment of ample supp lies of the necessaries and coin forts of life." Between Wolverhampton and Birmingham the view from the train presented a striking contrast to all that had preceded . Nature has not been kind to the surface of the " Black Country," but for external beauty has su ppli e d m i nera l wea lth and an immense and industrious popu lation, living and prospering in an atmosphere and on a soil which suggests, even in th e d a yti me , vi sions of Pandem o ni um . They c h eere d th e ir Sove reign most lust ily, and showed the g r e atest anxiety to obtain even a glimpse of her as she passed. Cap tain Huish, Mr. Norris, and the other officers of the North-Western Company, having brought the train in safety to the break which leads to the broad gauge and the newly-opened Birmingham and Oxford line, the Royal party were at once transferred to the care of the Great Western directors and their ch ief officers, who were in attendance. Mr. Brunel him self took charge of the engine, and, having traversed at a rapid rate and without the slightest casualty the remainder of the journey, her Majesty and the Royal Family reached Windsor in perfect safety at a quarter before seven o'clock. THE LATE COLLISION ON THEN ORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—We understand that a jud i c i al i nvestigation into the cause of the fatal collision which took place on this railway on Friday evening has . been going on duri ng Mon day and yesterday. The investigation is conducted by Mr. Sheriff Gordon and Mr. .Lothian, procurator fi sca l : but from the difficulty of procuring accurate information, it is impossible as yet to say what the res u lt o f the investigationmay be. The engineman and stoker of the mail train, were so far recovered as to be able to attend the judicial examination on Monday. The oth er passengers who were injured by the collision are also progressing favourably.— Scotsman. The issue of the 5 per cent. preference shares of the Norwegian Railway took place yesterday, and, although they had been previously quoted 2 t o % prem i um, t h e pr i ce was now discount to par. An evidence is thus afforded that the number . of new sc h emes daily brought out is greater than the public are prepared to accept; and, however strange the fall may appear in a n i nstance like this, it i s not unsatis factory thatit should have occurred, since it will show that there is a limit that must be observed in the production of foreign undertakin4s, however intrinsically sound. There was a serious decline this afternoon in almost all the now stocks and shares, which will probably give a wholesome check to a multitude of projects in. preparation. ~.......~y ~ .i .~~ :~,.
