Advertisement in the " Times" of Saturday, October 2. EXTRACTS. The Council feel it their duty, at the same time, to give publicity to the following:— Extract of a Letter addressed by Don Felipe Molina, Minister Ple nipotentiary at the Court of St. James's, now at Washington, to Edward Walierstein, Esq., the Consul-General of Costa Rica, in London. Dated New York, September 7th, 1852. " I received yesterday a letter from Colonel Wright Warren, with the pamphlet published by the Costa Rica Company, and requesting Me to endeavour to have a Provisional Convention held with the Chargé d'Affaires of New Granada, in order that the Company might proceed with their undertaking without further impediment. " Before receiving the letter I had already been acting with this view. Mr. Paredes, the new Grenadian Charge d'Affaires, says, that the Chiriqui Road Grant is absolutely null and void, because the local authority of that Province had no power whatever to en ter into a contract of that description ; that Moore, the person to Whom the C recession was originally made, applied for a confirma tion of the Concession to the Authorities of Bogota, when he (Pa redes) was Minister of the Interior there, and which was then de nied to him." (By Order of the Council of Direction), GEORGE MACONOCHIE, Secretary. 4, Adam's -court, Old Broad-street. The Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company are fortunately en abled to reply to the above by the following letter : " To the Directors of the Chiriqui Road Company. "Gentlemen,—l being the person referred to in the advertisement of the Costa Rica Company, which appeared in the " Times" of Sa turday list, and being at present in London, authorise you most de cidedly and distinctly to deny the whole statement so far as my ap plying to the New Granada Government for confirmation of the con cession of the grant now keld by your Company. "It would have been an absurdity to do so, for I was aware when I procured the concession from the provincial authorities at David (the place of meeting of the Legislature of the Province of Chiriqui) that such provincial authorities were carrying out the law of the Congress at Bogota, passed the 3d June, 1848, which law authorised the authorities at David to grant your concession without its being necessary to have any confirmation or reference to the Supreme Go vernment. Never having applied for a confirmation, as a conse quence, I never was refused. I make this statement in the most unqualified manner "I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, Sind) " THEO.

The essential object of thi s treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet 'with that delicate consideration and nviolablo secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these sees.

Early in October will be published, Volume Third of MISS AGNES STRICKLAND'S .IVES of the QUEENS of SCOTLAND, 4 and English Princesses connected with the Royal Succession. This volume of Miss Agnes Strickland's Royal Biographies contains the commencement of a personal Life of Mary Stuart, which it is believed will be found more authenti3 and complete than any which has yet appeared. The collection and arrangement of materials for it was commenced many years ago—even before the publication of the Lives of the Queens of England. It comprises an amount of curious and important information hitherto inedited, the fruits of long and arduous research in the State Paper Offices of England, Scotland, France, and other nations, znd in the charter-chests of the descendants of the noble families of Great Britain ancestrally con nected with that momentous period. The result is a Biography which is likely to be the crowning work of Miss Strickland's great national undertaking. Vols. I. and 11. contain the Lives of Margaret Tudor, Magdalene of France, Mary of Lorraine, and Margaret Douglas, Countess of Lennox. .

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. . . "Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. —" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852. —" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April 18,1852.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Palmer, of Preston (the district coroner), held an inquest at that place on the bodies of John Davis, 35, Thomas Gillett, 29, and George Cookson, 41—three of the eig .. unfortunate men who were drowned on Friday last by the capsizing of the lifeboat. The bodies of Cookson and Gillett were recovered on Sa turday, having been washed up on the " Middle Bank," a short distance from the spot were the ac cident occurred ; Davis's body was found on Sunday morning in Croston Pool. The remains of the other sufferers—viz., Willian Swann, John Gillett, John Whiteside, Thomas Hardman, and James Winder had not been recovered when this account was dis patched. The only witnesses examined by the coroner were Richard Gillett and James Parkinson, the two survivors of the boat's crew. From the evidence of Gillett, corroborated by Parkinson, it appeared that they went out with the boat a little before high water, the wind then blowing a fresh breeze. Swann had charge of the boat and was steering. They went out with oats, but in about a quarter of an hour a lug sail was hoisted by agreement among the crew. The wind had then freshened and was blowing a good breeze. About an hour afterwards, when they were beat ing down the channel, the wind increased to a strong breeze—almost to a hurricane. They had just taken in one of three reefs, when a sudden gust caught the sail; the boat partially filled, and the water getting into the sail caused her to capsize, most, if not all of the crew being at once thrown into the water. The witness Gillett got hold of the man-rope, which goes round the boat, and clung to it for about 20 minutes. He then made his way along the man-rope, hand ,over hand, and got into the inside of the boat, which was then bottom upwards. There he found James Parkinson and three of the deceased—viz., George Cookson, Thomas Gillett (witness's brother), and James Winder. Immersed almost to the shoulders, they clung with the tenacity of despair to the seats ' and grating of the boat, disappearing one by one as they became exhausted, until only two were left. For nearly five hours, according to the evidence, did these two men remain in this appalling position. During a portion of that time Thomas Gillett was clinging to his brother's leg, being at length com pelled to relax his hold from sheer exhaustion. In this trying hour the men conver3ed with each other, and mutually undertook, in the event of any sur viving, to communicate the last words of a husband and a parent to his widow and bereaved family. CORONER—I suppose Swann (the captain of the liteboat) was an experienced sailor? Witness (Gil lett)---Yes ; but I think he was a little to blame. When the wind became so rough some of the men were anxious for the sail to be taken down, but Swann would not allow it. He said he wished to try the boat fully. The men thought at all events another reef should be taken in. A juryman—Was the boat full of water when the crew wanted to have another reef taken in ? Wit ness—No. Her lee side was about a foot under water, and had been for some time. By the CORONER—WhiIe we were out I perceived the door of one of the air boxes open, and I don't know that it was afterwards closed. If it had been closed I think the boat would have righted. Mr. Houghton (a juryman)—Were you not cau tioned before going out to take your life belts ? Wit ness—Yes ; the Rev. ➢lr. Self said we had better take them ; but as it did not then blow very hard, we thought we could do without them. By Captain Ashburne—Previous to the accident the boat filled by shipping a sea, and she then emptied herself immediately. She is a very fine boat. Captain Ashburne—The accident happened entirely by pressing too much canvass on her? Witness — No doubt of it. A juryman —The boat was not in fault; it was the management. Another juryman said he had heard Swami re mark that it was impossible to capsize the boat with a sail. In reply to a question from the CORONER, the witness said he considered Swann a good seaman on shipboard, but he was not clever in the management of a boat. The witness further stated that after the upsetting of the boat Swann, who had secured himself inside, said to the survivors, " Boys, this won't do; I must go out and try to right ber." He got out and was speedily washed away by the breakers. The ac cident happened in about two fathoms of water, at ebb tide. The jury, after a brief address from the CORONER, retired to consider their ♦erdict. On their return, The Foreman said they wished to return a verdict of " Accidental death, resulting from mismanage ment." The CORONER intimated that he could not take that verdict. Though there seemed to have been a little error of judgment on the part of Swann, still had he survived, he (the Coroner) thought that he could not have been charged with manslaughter, but as he had gone to his account the jury must dismiss that point from their consideration, The jury then agreed to a verdict of " Accidentally drowned." • On the same evening a meeting of gentlemen was held at the Clifton Arms Hotel for the purpose of organizing a committee to obtain su bscriptions for the relief of the sufferers. Mr. J. Talbot Clifton, of Lytham-hall, presided, and there was a numerous attendance of those who sympathised with the be reeved. Nearly 2001. was contributed in a few mi nutes, the chairman heading the subscription list with 60/.-501. on his own behalf and 101. from Mrs. Clifton. Gentlemen were deputed to receive dona tions in Preston and other places. On Sunday even ing, after a sermon in St. John's church, Lytham, by the Rev. W. H. Self, 331. was received for the same benevolent object. In a short time, therefore, a very handsome sum will be realised. THE LATE FIRE AND LO SS OF LIFE AT ROTHERHIT.H.E. Yesterday Mr. W. Carter, the coroner, resumed the investigation respecting the deaths of Rosins Riches and Jane Elizabeth Brow n, who perished by the extensive fire on the 19th September, at Ro therhithe. Charles Lamming said he recollectedthe fre at Mr. Hogg s. The premises were t the back of the lower portion, apparently from the cellar. He who w ob a s e er e v h e e d ut M t r e . jHumogpgeuatt, thheustewcointodeflesootorlilvihnitowto, wait Mr. Hogg until he got a counterpane, which leaped into. In the fall .tar.

O n t h e night of Saturday, the 18 th , she went to bed, accom panied by the deceased , nosina Riches, abo ut half - an optici an , uncle, Mr. Hogg.an, half past eleven. Mr. Hogg had not then retired to rest. Witness heard nothing after going to bed either of Mr. Hogg or the servant. He slept on the same floor, and the servant slept in A side roam. Witness had not been asleep more than half an hour when she her way down stairs, and suddenly awoke, had missed Rosin Riches from the bed. Presently she heard Ton faint voice at the bedroom door cry g , fire." ght it was the de ceased Riches. She made reached the dining.rooni, where she opened the win dow and jumped out. As she was throwing up the window she heard Mr. Hogg up stairs crying out loudly. She saw nothing more of Rosina Riches, and could form no idea as to how she left her bed. Both the deceased were on good terms with the family. She had no apprehension that the fire was inten tionally caused. The gas in the dining-room and kitchen was alight when witness went to bed. Mr. Hogg generally went to see the light in her room was out safe. Remembers Miss Riches telling the servant at supper time to go and ask Mr. Hogg to see if it was all right in the cellar, as when the tide was high the river flowed into the cellar. Miss Riches was at the time in a delicate state of health, though quite able to assist herself in case of emer gency. William Stratford Hogg, son of the proprietor, said the gas meter was under the door-step. There was generally a light left burning at the staircase; but, upon examination, he found the gas had been turned off from the meter. The CORONER here said that they must now see Mr. Hogg, and ascertain who did go into the cellar, and what light was taken there. He had in his hand a certificate that it was impossible for Mr. Hogg to attend, and therefore be would propose that himself, the foreman, and one juryman should go and take Mr. H og g's their depositions. returnhte " - AfterCORONER read his state ment :—At eleven o'clock the w shop as closed.

There was the aonly way in which he could account for the fire WAS, that the deceased ser vent must have stepped on a lucifer match, and the fire fell down into the cellar, or that a spark from the candle dropped. Before going to bed he saw that the light in his niece's room was out. When the alarm was raised he went out, and on the landing he saw the two deceased. He tried to get on the roof. The females fainted, and he saw nothing more of them. In answer to a question, Mr. Hogg said that he had insured his stock for 3,0001., and had done so for the last sixteen years, but his insurance would not near cover his loss. The jury, after a short consultation, brought in their verdict—" That the deceased persons, Rosina Riches and Jane Elizabeth Brown, died from suffo cation, caused by the house accidentally catching fire." THE LATE EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS AT MO ORFIELDS. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held an inquiry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, rela tive to the deaths of John Howes, aged fourteen, and Cornelius Croley, aged fifteen, the two lads who were killed by the explosion of gunpowder last Sunday evening, while engaged in making fireworks on the premises, No. 30, Rose and Crown-court, Eldon street, Moorfields. The jury having viewed the bodies, Solomon Pigott, of 15, Little Norris-street, Hoxton, said he was a dealer in toys, and was on terms of intimacy with Mr. George Holyhead, the proprietor of the firework establishment in Rose and Crown court. Last Sunday evening he was sitting in the back parlour of Holyhead's house, and was conversing with him on general matters. Mrs. Holyhead was present. Mr. Holyhead left the room several times to, go upstairs to superintend two boys who were making up fireworks. Witness observed to Mr. Holyhead that he did not like Sunday work, as he thought no good came of it; upon which Holyhead remarked to his wife that the boys had better leave off, as it was then half-past eight. Mrs. Holyhead went upstairs, and, immediately returning, said to her husband that Jack (meaning Howes) had but a few to make up, and he would finish them before he left. In a moment afterwards the explosion took place. Witness ran out as fast as he could, and returned in about five minutes. On looking through the parlour windows, he saw something in a blaze, and Mr. Holyhead by the side of it. This turned out to have been one of the youths, whose clothes had taken fire. Both boys were shortly afterwards brought out and taken to the hospital. After the explosion witness assisted Mrs. Holyhead to remove some fireworks from the house, after which be went upstairs to see what damage had been done. The window frames and shutters had been blown out, and the partitions of the room shattered. By a juror—The room was lighted, as witness was informed by Mr. Holyhead, by a candle st uc k i n a brass candlestick, with a glass globe over it. Mr. Holyhead informed him that the explosion was his total ruin. Dennis Mullens, of 13, London.passage,Wlaitecross street, identified the body of Howes as the son of witness's brother-in-law. Mary Croley, of Adam and Eve-court, Whitecross street, mother of the deceased lad Croley, deposed that the deceased had been engaged at a glass-blower's up to the beginning of last week. On the Thursday be fore the explosion he went to work for Mr. Holyhead, at firework making, of which occupation he had no previous knowledge or :experience. Her son died in the hospital in great agony. He suffered so acutely that be was unable to give any account of the occurrence. Mr. Callender, the house-surgeon, deposed that the two lads were brought into the hospital on Sunday night. They died on the following morning from severe burning. Their sufferings were too great for him to question them as to how they met with the injuries. ✓ The CORONER having sent for Holyhead, informed him that if he wished to say anything, the jury would hear him, but he felt bound to tell him that he could not be accepted as a witness. Mr. Holyhead--I have nothing more to say than what Mr. Pigott has told you. The CORONER explained to the jury that by an old law the bare making of fireworks in a densely-popu lated neighbourhood was an offence. In this case common sense ought to have dictated to Mr. Holy head the impropriety of following so dangerous an occupation in such a locality, especially by candle light, and employing inexperienced boys in the work. If the jury thought that the boys lost their lives in consequence of an explosion caused by making fire works during their employment by Mr. Holyhead, it would be their duty to return a verdict of man slaughter. Mr. Holyhead said one of the boys had been in the house seven years, and was as well acquainted with the business as himself, so that he could not have anticipated any danger from inexperience. The CORONER said that was no excuse. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mr. Holyhead; and the Coroner immediately ordered him into custody of Mr. Baker, the beadle, who was bound over to prosecute at the next sessions of the Criminal Court. The other witnesses were also held to bail to appear. GREAT FLOOD AT LEWES. (From the Surrey Gazette.) LEWES, TUESDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK P.M.—Lewes this day has been visited by the heaviest flood it has ex perienced—so say competent authorities—since the memorable winter of 1814, when the breaking up of the frost produced an universal deluge throughout the country. During the past few days a considerable quantity of wet had f a ll en , b u t yes t er d a y, f rom morn ing till night, and throughout the night, the rain poured down in incessant torrents, accompanied by a perfect hurricane of wind. To say that it came down inbucketfulls is no e xaggera ti on . According to the rain gauge of a scientific gentleman in this place no less than two inches of water fell during the twenty-four hours. At an early hour this morning the effects of so heavy a fall became evident in the rapid descent of the water from the hills, and its rising throughout the meadows that surround the town. By ten o'clock a vast body , of water had accumulated in the meadows near Offham and Hamsey, and for a considerable space had risen to a level with the embankment of the Lewes and Keymer Railway, part of which, in fact, was under water. All traffic over the line was, very judiciously, suspended, and the trains to and from Hastings and London were sent round via Brighton. In Lewes an unwonted scene presented itself. At the lower portions of the town, in Mailing street and the Cliff, the water burst into the cellars and warehouses, and one small street, consisting of from twenty to thirty houses, leading to Messrs Hill. man's brewery, was a complete river, all the lower rooms of the houses on each aide being inundated to a considerable depth. The street itself was only passable by means of planks laid across barrels placed on one end. A little further on the main street was under water for a few yards. At the back of this part of the town the meadows were completely under water, and presented the appearance of a sea. Boats were rowing and sailing about ; here part of a haystack was floating off, there faggots and planks were carried away by the stream. At the bridge the current was running down with immense force, bursting its way into cellars and warehouses, and carrying off timber &c., lying on the wharfs. At half-past four F.M. the tide began to ebb, and it was hoped that the flood had reached its highest, and would rapidly recede as the tide ran out. Beyond the damage caused by the in undation in the houses, Ste., we have not heard of any serious injury being sustained. Owing to the event occurring in the daylight, people were fore warned, and, in the town as well as in the surround ing country, precautions were taken to remove pro perty and secure it from damage. Reports from the neighbouring villages speak of heavy floods in every direction. Such a day of incessant torrents of rain as fell yesterday we scarcely ever remember. SEVEN o'CLocK P.m.—Since five o'clock this after noon the waters have gradually fallen, and the worst has evidently passed. Throughout the day crowds of people have been attracted to the bridge and other spots in its neighbourhood, watching the effects of the flood, while many persons have climbed the Cliff hills, in order to command a bird's-eye view of the surrounding inundation.

Mr. Dent was storekeeper of the Keyham establishment, but on the reduction of the office three years since by Sir Francis Baring, Mr. D. was placed on the redundant list, with a promise of re-appoint ment in the event of a vacancy. The opportunity having occurred, and Mr. Dent's services being avail able, the Admiralty have effected a saving of some 4501. per annum by re-appointing Mr. Dern to an active post ; thus carrying out the promise of the late Government, whilst they have performed an act of justice, and effected a considerable public saving.— Herald. As we have before stated, Captain Henderson, C.B. will do the duties of the Admiral Superintendent during his absence on leave. This is a new arrange ment. By the ohi arrangement, on the absence of Admiral Superintendent, the duties of the Ordinary devolved on the Captain of his flag-ship, and of the dock yard on the Master Attendant.

The missing ship-keeper of the Camel lighter (Anderson) was detected yesterday (Sunday), and taken into custody. This morning he was brought before Commodore Seym our and confronted with the other man, the master sad mate being present, and strictly examined by Mr. _Eastlake. As the circum stance happened afloat, the whole matter is trans ferred to Saltasb, there to be dealt with by the civil authorities. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDA r.—A truly awful gale blew on this coast the whole o f yesterday and last night. The usual traffic betwee)a shore and shore was com pletely stopped.

[PRIC E SD. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday, at the offices, in Coleman-street-buildings. Captain Warren, R.N., took the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : " Your directors him the gratification to report that the portion of your railway from Londonderry to New town Lime vady, 18i miles in length, was opened for goods traffic on the Ist inst. Mr. Rendel, the consulting engineer of the company, has recently made a personal inspection of the line, and was quite satisfied that the pa;:senger traffic might at once be commenced. Bat ho considers it important that the stone pitching on the portions of the railway exposed to the sea should be com pleted while the weather continues fine; and as the pas senger traffic would seriously interfere with the opera tions of the contractor, ho advised that it was more pru dent for two or three weeks to carry goods only, by which means the work would be consolidated, and the com pany will reap the advantage of the goods trade with out impeding the progress of the contractor in com pleting the pitching. Tour directors, fully concurring in the prudence of the course thus suggested by Mr. Rendel, have followed his recommendation, and, for the present, limited the traffic operations to the carriage of goods. In the last report it was stated to you that the proceeding with the railway from Newton Limavady to Coleraine had been made dependent upon obtaining an advance from the Public Loan Commissioners. Your directors have the satisfaction to inform you that the Government loan applied for has been granted; the works upon that portion of the line have for some time been in course of vigorous prosecution by the contractor, Mr. M‘Cormick, and are now so forward that by your next half-yearly meeting it is hoped the day may be fixed for the through opening from Londonderry to Coleraine. Your directors, knowing the importance of securing full and early through communication be tween Londonderry, Coleraine, and Belfast, are now negotiating arrangements by which they hope this object may be completed, and the traffic thoroughly developed. The Bill, promoted by the corporation of Londonderry, for the construction of a joint public road and railway bridge over the River Foyle has passed into law; and your directors have to report that the Bill authorising this company to contribute to the erection of this bridge has also received the Royal as sent. By this means a junction advantageous to both will be effected between your railway and the London derry and Enniskillen; and arrangements have been made with the other parties interested, by which your directors hope that this most desirable object will be at tained without in the end making any addition to the capital of the company. The chairman and two other directors, Mr. Clay and Mr. Cross, have recently visited the works, and examined for themselves the traffic re sources of the country. They feel assured that, with a through communication completed with Belfast on the one side, and with the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway on the other, there will be from commercial and sigricultural resources, a large and remunerative traffic; while the natural beauty of the country, the facilities offered on the coast for sea-bathing, and the vicinity of such an acknowledged attraction as the Giant's Causeway, only seven miles from Cole raine, must ensure a very great amount of pleasure traffic. The experience acquired by your directors in conducting the traffic on the Londonderry and Ennis killen Railway has enabled them to prepare for the working of your line with the utmost economy as regards plant; and they believe that your rolling stock will be found to combine smallness of cost to the company with complete satisfaction to the public. The time having now arrived for settling the questions mentioned in the last report, as referred for the arbitration of Mr. Rendel, your directors are taking the necessary steps for pro curing his award thereon. Three of your directors, viz., James Clay, Esq., M.P., John Cross, Esq., and John Munn, Esq., and one of your auditors, S. J. Waley, Esq., go out of office by rotation. Those gentlemen are all eligible, and offer themselves for re-election. For the financial position of the company your directors beg re ference to the accounts which have already been circu lated amongst you; and they have merely to add as re gards the liabilities, that (independent of the current accounts for the supply of rails, sleepers, and contrac tor's work in progress) the only liability now existing is that for the balance (s,sool.):previously stated to:you as due on the purchase of Robertson's interest in re clamation.' " The CHAIRMAN said before moving the adoption of the report be would make a few observations. There was an old proverb, that it was a long lane that had no turning. Circumstances still fresh in the memory of the proprietors, namely, the panics of 1846 and 1847, had contributed to depress this company and many others, and had caused the directors to wait and rely on better times. This delay was for the time looked upon with some dissatisfaction, but it had turned out in the end to be advantageous. It had given them the means of looking into railway works, the expense of the plant, and the result has been the successful opening of nineteen miles of their line from Londonderry to New town Limavady. When the railway should be com pleted to Coleraine, which he hoped would not be later than the Ist of May, a large traffic might be expected. Since they last met three of the directors, Mr. Clay, Mr. Cross, and himself, had visited he w orks, and were happy to say that the contractor had done his work in a most substantial manner.— (Hear, hear.) It w as as we ll b u il t as any li ne i n th e kingdom. In addition to the ordinary traffic they might expect a very great revenue from the various sources of amusement, such as the extensive salmon leaps of the river Bann, the Giant's Causeway, and other sources of attraction. The diroctors looked for ' ward with the greatest interest to the completion of the new bridge over the river Foyle for the junction of this line with the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. The report was adopted. Mr. Lavin, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Frith, Dr. Conquest, and Mr. Waley spoke of the untiring exertions of the directors during the bad times of the company. A resolution voting 1,0001. to the directors was passed by a large majority, and another for increasing the salary of the secretary. The meeting then adjourned. THE WHITEHAVEN TUNNEL. The tunnel connecting the Whitehaven Junction and the Whitehaven and Furness lines of railway, Whitehaven, has received the formal sanction of the Board of Trade for the conveyance of passenger traffic. Last week it was inspected by Captain Wynn, the Government official sent down for that purpose. That gentleman first proceeded through it on foot, accom panied by Mr.Dees, the engineer, and expressed him self in terms of high approval of the design and the workmanship ; and afterwards proceeded through it in a train at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. Mr. Dees has since received the formal sanction of the Board of Trade to open the tunnel for passenger traffic forthwith, which will be done in a very short time, when some further trifling arrangements re specting the communication between the two lines shall have been perfected. In the meantime the goods traffic is being regularly conveyed through the tun nel, and the entrance of a train at either end 6 at once signalled to the other, and no person is per mitted to enter it until the train has passed through. Lodge■ have been erected at evil end for 0,, Annom. modation of the men to whom the duty of switching and signalling is entrusted, and no precaution has been omitted to secure safety to human life as far as human skill can do so. This important undertaking having been brought to a successful issue, the directors will at once turn their energies to the completion of the arrangements for taking iron ore upo n th e li ne a t Wood End. The n ecessary works for this important undertaking are nearly completed, and it is confidently anticipated that the directors of the line will be en abled to e ff e ct such arra ngements w i t h t h e ore pro prietors as will lead to th e conveyance t h ence b y ra il of the ore intended for Newcastle, which has hitherto been carted along the road and through the town to the station of the Whitehaven Junction line, to the g reat inconvenience of the publio at large.—Carlisle Patriot. ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHE, RAILWAY. On Monday night an accident, which 1 . ght have m . , oct. u been attended with very serious conseque , ccensist curred to the Great Northern express train, ing h main line ing of eight first-class carriages, near Newark. About a mile northonriodft-thhraatnteohwnfrtohme Great Northern intersects the Midland angles. Si g . Nottingham to Lincoln, almost at right of acci dents, are of course provided theforrinepreventioncause or other, not dents, but it appears from . s e n d, as yet satisfactorily explained, the Great Norther ga • o l3 ;train arrived at the point n express and a Midland the former dashed through of intersection at the same instant. They were both going at full speed, and_ he g oods train, hurling one of the the middle of t r iver_ which runs just by, and trucks into the throwing several others off the line. All the carriages i o f the passener train Lassen much da maged, but h a p j, not one of the pgers was ser i o usly hurt. This, it is believed, was owing to the facility with which the express severed the goods train; nevertheless, looking at the state of the car riages, which were too much shattered to proceed on the journey, and the circumstances under which the collision took place, the escape of so many persons with so little injury seems almost miraculous. The only person in the goods train who was at all injured was the driver, who had two of his teeth knocked out. It is stated that the signal for the Great: Northern train to advance was exhibited at the crossing, and that the driver of the Midland train is to blame. This, however, will be ascertained in the course of the in , quiry, which was opened at Newark yesterday by the IRELAND. MR. JOHN BRIGHT IN BELTAST. DUBLIN, TUESDAY.—The Liberals of Belfast en tertained Mr. John Bright at a public dinner last night in the of that city, with a view of marking their respect for his high public character, and their appreciation of the many valuable and im portant services he has rendered during his political career to the great cause of reform, as well as for his eloquent advocacy and untiring support of the prin ciples of free trade. Mr. Robert GritEnshaw, D L., presided, and the company comprised 250 of the lead ing Liberal gentry, merchants, and professional men of the city and its vicinity. BALLINASLOE CCTOBEE FAIL The great fair of Ballinasloe commtnced yesterday, the being what is called " show day." The supply of sheep fell short of th e n umber exhibited last year ; and, as a consequence, stock,the re was an advance in prices, particularly for broodat from Is. to 3s. over the rates obtained in October last. For ewes the im provement was still greater, varying from 4s. to ss. a head, and in several instances even higherrates were th e w aoti a thstanding the obtained. Upon the whole, and unfavourable state of the weather, appears, so far, not to have disappointed the expectations of the stoclimasters. The Freeman's Journal supplies the subjoined succinct account of the day's proceedings . • " Ballinasloe, Oct.4 ' Ith the show or Bhp " The fair com but, though it is which by far the of business in thi of stock on the culated as being when the numbe observation I am the principal caul fact of numerous hating been rece ROGOCTirti MOO, Or% waiting, as hither The general condit. occasion appeared on an average to be very fair. The foot distemper was by no means as prevalent as was observable at Banagher last month ; in fact it was only perceptible in an odd animal here. The attend ance of Leinster buyers was very considerable, and this, with the apparent scarcity of sheep at most of the previous fairs of the season, particularly at that of Banagher, on the 14th ult., led to the an ticipation that short work would be made on this occasion. Such, however, did not prove to be the case; it turned out, in fact, a very slow and a very late fair. At 7 o'clock in the morning, the weather being regu larly broken, the rain continued without intermission to pour in torrents down to 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This served, to a material extent, to delay the driving in of stock, and it was long past 10 o'clock before the last of the lot had been got into the park. There was also an evident backwardness on the part of purchasers and sellers, particularly the former, to enter regularly on business. Thus the hour approached, 12 o'clock, when transactions regularly commenced. It then soon became evident that prices were decidedly in favour of the wes tern stockmasters and breeders, though not perhaps quite to the extent that they had calculated upon in regard to wethers, but in brood stock the rise to them must have been exceedingly satisfactory. Ewes were the first to exchange owners, and did so at quite a brisk rate, and at an improvement over last year's prices varying from 4s. to ss. a-head, and in several instances even exceeding that rise. After what might be celled a very tolerable clearance had been made of the brood class, wethers be gan to be inquired for, and a slow but steady business at an advance of from Is. or 2s. to 3s. a-piece over the prices of last October fair was maintained down to a late hour. The improvement in quotations just referred to, it is right to observe, was more slightly participated in by 'top lots,' or the very primely finished animals, than by those of medium, and even inferior sorts. Transactions in wethers did not terminate till close on five o'clock, an almost unprecedentedly late hour at this fair, particularly on occasions of a rising market, or when an apprehension might exist as to a shortness of supply. At tho above period, however, a good many flocks more than was generally expected, considering the circumstances, remained unsold, and in reserve for to-morrow's fair. A few lots, very few, indeed, of ewes, were driven out undisposed of, not that the demand for that description appeared by any means to have been satisfied, but rather that the figure asked struck pur chasers as being too exorbitant to matter under what pressure for the commodity they might happen to bo placed. Some lots of lambs, cleanly fed and fairly con ditioned, were in the fair, and commanded, with ready sale, from 265. to 28e. It is rather remarkable that in no instance, at least that came under the writer's notice, was what is designated a fancy lot' of ewes to be met with throughout the day. Tee subjoined is a list of quotations taken from the different classes, tops, medium, and inferior, in order to show the g. neral rates ruling the fair.

The return of the first day's sale last year was 34,424. The quantity of purchased stock driven direct from the fair to the railway terminus here, and thence, with the utmost facility, conveyed by the cattle trains to various stations along the lines in the provinces of Leinster, was very considerable, and the stowing away effected without the slightest confusion. The number, visitors as well as parties on business, brought down on this and the previous day by rail has been such as to crowd the town to overflowing, and to render lodgings, &c., anything but cheap accommoda tion. A visit f rom the Lord-Lieutenant to the fair-t , o be the guest o f L or d Cl anear t y d ur i ng his under- stay-had been expected, but will not, it Excellency a is now stood, take pine.

" And is, alas ! poor Buckett gone? Farewell, convivial, honest John. Oft at the well, by fatal stroke, Buckets, like pitchers, must be broke. How various have thy fortunes been I Now lifted high, now sinking low, — To-day thy brim would overflow : Thy bounty then would all supply, To fill and drink and leave thee dry; To-morrow must, as in a well, Content unseen with truth to dwell. But high or low, or wet or dry, No rotten stave could malice spy. Then rise, immortal Buckett, rise And claim thy station in the skies : 'Twist Amphora and Pisces shine, Still guarding Stockbridge with thy sign." —Correspondent of the Builder.
