CAMBRIDGESHIRE " WAIFS AND STRAYS," WITH THE PROBABLE WINNER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—l have already dotted down all that has come within range of my aural and optical senses with regard to the heavy weights that I have thought worth report ing, therefore, I now proceed with the middle and light weight division. Grief is coming from Warwick to do something or other, but not to win I take it. He is in capital condi tion at the present time. Two starters will go from Saunders' stable, Hobbits Noble—who is in excellent form, but considered a little too heavily weighted—and Le Juif, who is in first-rate fettle also, and not troubled with a burdensome weight, The chance of the latter horse is not thought, however. to be anything like so good for this race as it was for the Cesarewitch; and in this particular I agree. Mr. T. Parr seems pretty nearly as confident of taking these stakes as he did those of the Cesare witch, and with Weathergage too, Bardolph being of no account. I think though, he will find himself mistaken this time, the weight being, in my opinion, an effectual stopper. It must be remembered th a t when ho won the Goodwood Stakes, he only carried sst 61b. Ho afterwards ran several races with but indifferent success, winning only one (the Wolverhampton Stakes) out of five, carrying in the losing races 6st 131 b, Bst 21b, 71b, and 7st 21b respectively. He then won the Chatsworth Stakes at Derby, carrying 7st slb, and the Innkeeper's Plate at the same place (with Bst 31b up), beating a lot of rub bish; which last race cannot be considered any criterion by which to judge. He has since won the Cesarewitch, carrying 6st 111 b, and is now required to carry 7st 91b —not to be done I calculate: he is, however, not to be betted against recklessly, being a remarkably fine horse The following description of him by a contemporary is true to the letter. He is described as " a strong and unusually compact horse; and from his large bone, strong posteriors, and great muscular development in his arms and thighs, would hardly look blood-like but for his fine head; which, together with the neck, is well and grace fully set on. His shoulders are rather upright, but clean and muscular ; he is deep in the brisket, has long back ribs, short powerful bask, wide hips, quarters rather short, but displaying great power, and well let down; altogether giving indications of great strength. He has fine sweeping action, and his height is fifteen hands, two inches. The High Sheriff is said to be Job Marson's horse: he is in good condition, but cannot possess more than an extreme outside chance. Father Thames will represent John Day's stable, and give them a chance of ,repeating their mysterious New market handicap move. He is all right; and at 6st 81b cannot be overweighted. It must be born in mind that he finished at Longbow's head in the race for the Gratwicke stakes. _ Merryman's running, notwithstanding his light weight (sst 131 b) for an aged horse, was so execrable, in the race for the Cesarewitcb, that his trainer could not boast of his being any other than the worst brae that started. I presume his owner will not run Mel for the Cam bridgeshire. Gladiola's winning of the A. F. Plate last week, at 6st 101 b was anything but a brilliant performance, as Garforth, who was second, same age, was weighted to give her 201bs ; and Father Thames, who finished seventh, had to concede her the difference in age (two years) and 41bs. I believe she does not run. Billy Bar, who—though a four years' old—is handi capped to carry no more than sst 121 b, is said at New market to be of no use for this race, the distance being a quarter of a mile too far, and the severity of the course too great, for him. John Scott's hopes are centred in Hyacinth. It is evident to him that the steeple chaser, La Gazzi Ladra, and the slow-paced Ammonia can have no dance of victory in a race like this; and Kilquade, alias the Third of May, is, at the best of times, but a very inferior animal. Alfred the Great is said to be no go. Plot is fancied at head quarters ; they are afraid, however, that the course will prove too severe for her. The partizan's of Stevens' stable assert that they have the winner in Azael ; while the admirers of Babette are equally confident that they possess the lucky animal. Betting men are, for the most part, fatalists; ad as tho second and third horses in the Cesarewitch have several times carried off the Cambridgeshire, they now argae that the Knight of the Shire's chance is wonder fully increased tor the latter, by having run third in the former race. A select circleof the knowing ones fancy the race will end in convulsions of laughter on their part, as the adage has it, " let those laugh who win;" Major Mar tyr's son of Alarm being the elfish cause of their merri ment. The field, as far as I can ascertain at the present mo ment, will consist of Lady Evelyn, Ephesus, Hobble Noble, Hungerford, Grief, the Cutler, Weathergage, Lo Juif, Lady Amyott, Kbadijah, Maaifold, Father Thames, Evadne, Miss Fanny, Phlegra, Convulsion, Knight of the Shire, Azael, Hyacinth, Ilex, Puritan, Plot, Radio 6 , Babette, Sanita, Braun, High Sheriff, Pancake, and Cor nelius. To which list may be added five or six of the following doubtfuls:—Turnus, Glance, Kingston, Sir Charles, Chief Bsron Nicholson, Hookem Snivey, Her bert, Bardolph, Kate, Koh-i-noor, Alfred the Great, Billy Bar, Peacock, and Labra. Taking every item of information I have received con cerning this race into due consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the winner will be a three-year-old, and, most probably, CONVULSION; Babette, although the crack, being anything but attractive in my opinion. I expect that those everlasting runners, Evadne and Sanita, will perform more than creditably. Father Thames and Azael will no doubt finish forward.—l am, &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. October 21st. SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN SCOTLAND AND IRELAND. The report of Captain Hawes, R.N., to the Secretary of the Admiralty, with reference to the submarine tele graph between Portpatrick and Donaghadee, states, that in pursuance of the directions of the Lords Com missioners that he should give the undertaki❑g all the assistance in his power in laying down the cable—he submitted to the parties when they came to Portpatrick, that two steam vessels should be employed to submerge the cable, sinking the bight in a deep gully, and in a channel by which ease and success might attend the operation. The parties having adopted another plan, as soon as their arrangements were completed, Captain Hawes states that he joined them at Donaghadee, and notwithstanding some difficulties occurred, above fifteen miles of the cable were successfully laid down, across the Channel, from Donaghadee to the coast near Port patrick, in a good line, under favourable circumstances, the insulation being perfect. In consequence of the re maining rope on board not being ready to pay out, the end was dropped, and securely buoyed within a few miles of the Scotch shore. He had urged on the parties the great importance of immediately continuing the cable to the shore before the bad weather set in, and, from the survey he had made, was satisfied of the strength of the cable, and that it may with perfect success be submerged across the deep-water channel. The undertaking, it may be mentioned, has remained in this position since August, from inability, it is understood, on the part of the pro moters, to obtain the additional amount of cable required from the manufacturers, who are so full of other orders for submarine cables in connection with the continent, which they are bound under contract, to complete first. As some confusion exists upon this matter, it may be stated that the second attempt mentioned as made this month for a second line, between Portpatrick and Donaghadee, when the cable is represented to have slipped away into the sea, was made by a company known as the Magneto Telegraph Company. The depth in fathoms, according to the submarine chart of the Channel, over the 21, 1 , : - miles between Portpatrick and Donaghadee, it may bo interesting. beginning on the Scotch coast, to state, is 9, 15, 37, 79; midway, from 84 to 110; and running up to the Irish coast, 73, 62, 24, 21, 8, the bed of tho Channel consisting of ooze, sand and shingle. PUBLIC INCOME AND ExPENDITORE.—A Parlia mentary paper, containing a statement of the public in come and expenditure of the United Kingdom, for three years ended sth January, 1850, 1851, and 1852, has ap peared. It has been prepared on the motion of Mr. 'W. Williams, and contains a mass of details on the subject of the various sources of income and of expenditure' The following are the totals :--Income for 1850. 57,647,392/.; torlBsl, 57,431,7964; for 1852, 56,834,7111 Expenditure for 1850, 55,480,656/. ; fur 1851 51,938,5341.; for 1852, 54,002,9951. Surplus of income over expenditure, in 1850, 2,166,736/. ; i n 1851, 2,493,2621.; in 1852, 2,831,7161. It is, mentioned in a note that no part of the allowance charged on account of the King of the Belgians is paid for the use of his Majesty. After defraying certain annuities and pensions, the ba lance is repaid to the Exchequer. 36,000/, was so re paid last year. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE' .b bishoprics' p g r d , c o s —The committee of this society are preparing a report of their operations daring t h e pa s t yea r . Ono of the most important features in the pr o ce edin g s of the society during the last few years has b een t he ass i s tance which it has rendered towards the endowment.t began of new bish o p r i cs work int b h e).c.oa grant lone general fund. Between that y ear and 1851, grants In amounting to 8,0001. were ma de towards four colon ia , i s. 1 the 0 ,000 /. year t o the B l 0 colonial it erection of n ew bishoprics. And in the past ye ar the sum of fivelo,ooo/1 has been contributed towards th e sees, namely, Sierra Leone, the Mauritius, Borneo, and two bishoprics in the present diocese of . Cape Town. This sum of 10,000/. voted for new bishoprics, since the last annual report, makes a total of 28,0001. in aid of the endowment of bishoprics in the colonies. BOROUGH OF KNARESBOROUGH.—It will be recol lce that at the late election a triple return was made for Knaresborough—a circumstance which will render necessary a new election after the assembling of Parlia ment. The consequence of this state of things is, that during the Parliamentary revision held on Saturday last, before 11. W. West, Esq., a considerable degree of in terest presaged. Tt e result was that 23 new votes were placed on the register; but such is the peculiarly un stable character of Knaresborough " free and indepen dent electors," that it is difficult to say to which party thsy ought to be allotted, bat each claims a majority of them. Deaths and removals, have done really nothing to alter the relative position of parties as registered in tho last poll book, and the present revision has dote nothing in the way of advantage for th e forth com i ng co nte s t. It is certain, if a new election takes place, that Mr. West head, Mr. Dent, and Mr. Wood (who were all returned by an equal number of nt.'s at the general election), will again he candidates; and there is no doubt that, whoever may zucceed, the contest will be 3 close and genre 07.-e, JOINT-STOCK BANKS.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Oct. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE MANIC. The bankrupt, Edward Solo Manico, was a merchant in Mark-lane. This was the meeting for the last exa mination. The failure is for a considerable amount, as will bo seen from the following figures:—The accounts, prepared by Messrs. Harding and Butler, extend over six years and a-half prior to the failure in Juno last. The bankrupt now owes to unsecured creditors 11,8671,; to those holding security, 1,1491. (the value of the securities being estimated at 1,9000; to creditors for cash advanced, 1,0031.; liabilities, 5181. Assets : cash given up, 1051; good debts, 351.; property, 1,3341.; ex pected surplus from property held as security, 750/ The profits had been 1,904/4 trade expenses, 1,5821,; house and personal ditto, 1,5201.; losses, 9,4531. Mr. Lawrence supported. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, requiring time fur ther to investigate the ace)unts, especillly those relating to the bankrupt's transactions with Gull and Stahlsch midt, both bankrupt, a short adjournment was ordered. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL.— William Scarborough, a respectable looking youth, 18 years of age, was cnarged under the following circumstances: — Joseph Avant, pawnbroker, of Fleet-street, stated that on Wednesday, about half-past one o'clock, the prisoner wished to pledge two dozen pairs of kid gloves. On in quiry, he said they belonged to his brother a glove finisher, in Jewin-street, who worked for a firm in the Borough-road. Witne,.s said he did not think any glove manufacturers lived in the Borough-road, and was about to look in the Directory to see it any ono of the name the prisoner gave lived in Jewin-street, when he said it was not likely that he would fi❑d his brother's name there, as he lived at the top of the house. Witness then inquired in whose employ he was, and the prisoner stated that he was out of employ, but had been with a chemist at Southampton, whom he had left four days, and that his brother wished him to pledge the gloves. Witness, not being satisfied with this statement, asked him to walk into the parlour, on which he said, " Oh, no; i'll go and fetch my brother," sal attempted to run away. Lie then gave him into custody, and on inquiry found ho was in the service of Messrs. Morley, of Wood-street, Cheap side. A warehouseman, from Messrs. Morleys, identifled the prisoner as a clerk who had been in their service since Ist July, and stated his belief that the gloves were their property, although their was no peculiarity of make or private mark about them. A police-constable, who searched the prisoner's lodg ings, produced a duplicate, by which it appeared that two dozen pairs of gloves had been pledged at Mr. Fleming's, i❑ St. Martin's-lane, on Oct. 8, for 1/., and an assistant of Mr. Fleming's produced them, and iden tified the prisoner as having pledged them. Mr. Joha Morley said that the gloves in question were similar to those in his warehouse, and that it had been ascertainec two dozen pairs of gloves had been taken from a box in tieir warehouse. Ho was quite satisfied that these were the only cases which the prisoner had been engaged in, and recommended him to the merciful con sideration of the mazistrate, hoping he would deal sum arily with the case. His father and brother were very respectable persons. From some letters that had been found there was reaso❑ to believe that the prisoner had been induced to commit the offence from a connexion he had formed with a young woman in the City-road. Alderman Finnic expressed his hesitation to deal with so serious a matter as the robbery of an employer by a confidential servant, but as the evidence did not quite make out a felony, he should remand the ease for the present. BOW-STREET. —Henry Wilson, a young men, who described himselt as a tailor "in the habit of frequenting races," was brougat before Mr Henry, charged with the following robberies, practised on coffee-housekeepers. John Hatt, jun., stated that he resided with his father, who kept a coffee-house in Drury-lane. On Wednesday night the prisoner slept at the house, having with him a carpet-bag, and or his leaving the house next morning witness suspected that the bag contained greater bulk than on the previtus night, and a hasty glance at the bedroom satisfied him that his auspicious were correct. Witness followed the prisoner, who then ran off; but was apprehended and learned at the station-bouse, when a blanket and a pair of trousers were found in the carpet bag, and another blanket concealed round the prisoner' s person. The blanket produced the witness identified as she property of his father, and the boots, also produced, as belonging to a lodger. Police-constable 82 F apprehended the prisoner and searched him. Inspector Dodd exhibited a pasteboard dummy, by which the carpet bag had been di-..tended so as to leave space for stowing away the articles purloined by the prisoner. Mr. Henry said it was important that hotel and coffee ' house keepers should be put on their guard against such devices, and directed that the dummy should be shown at the trial. The prisoner denied the charge. Mr. Thomas James Squires, of 10, Chandos-street, coffee-house keeper, preferred a nearly similar charge. About three weeks ago th e pr i soner s l ept a t hi s h ouse , and was going away with a parcel, which he threw down when stopped. It contained a counterpane and sheet, the property of witness. Mr. Henry committed the prisoner for trial. WORSHIP. STREET.—A poor man who had been found between three and four o'clock that morning, by M'Leod, 179, prostrate, sick, an d exhausted, on the pavement near gt. Luke's Workhouse, and who stated that he had walked from Barnet that morning, was brought under the notice of the magistrate. M'Leod said that perceiving that it was an extreme case, he had taken him in the fi rst instance to .the workhouse door, but the Y kept both of them hour until he spoke to the master, and gate-keeper on hearing .. h!s story waiting half-an then said the man could not be admitted. The man was nex t taken to the station, but the inspector at once sent him back with a message, th a t t h e mas ter would b© 11cid responsible for any f a il ure of h i s duty. This time the gete- keeper said the man must wait an hour for his admission, and the policeman ac cordingly left him at the _gate at hi s own reques t. Going that way, considerably after th e l apse o f t h e hour, the policeman found the poor man still unad mitted, and lenceking at the gate was told he would have hour yet. Under thi,se circumstances, to wait another the man was again conducted to the stati on -h ouse , w h ere he became so a l arm ingly ill that it was found necessary to send for the police surgeon, under whose directions he was supplied with restoratives and placed in a comfort able position near the fire until the arrival of the usual hour for briogiug forward the ni g h t c h arges at th i s court. The surgeon showed that the case was one which would not bear delay, and that perm anent i n j uries might result to the poor m an from the ne g l ect h e ha d ex perienced. Tho gate-keeper was summoned to appear to answer for his conduct, but on presenting himself he excused his conduct by the strictness of the instructions furnished by his superiors, and by saying that ho did not think the man wasas, according to th e ve ry bad indeed, rule, he must be to justify instant admission. Mr. Hammill professed himself in no wise satisfied with this explanation, and sent for the Master, who did not come. The magistrate then ordered that the case should be represented to the Chairman of the Board of G uardiaus for inquiry. LAMBETH,—Johannak Connor, 20 y ea „ of ago, was charged with pouring s ome p owerful acid into the mouth of an infant only five weeks old, bel onging to her master, by which its life was endangered. Mr. Edward Lapham, a master baker, Carrying on business at 57, Lower Marsh , Lambeth, depo se d that on the preceding evening, about seven o clock, he about seven he d es i re d t h e prisoner, who had been in h i s service weeks, to go up stairs and tell her mistress that he wished her to come down, as he wanted to speak to her, and that she was to stop with th e infant u n til her mistress returned. Airs. Lapham cam e down stairs, and whil e h e was in conversation, the prisoner came down Stairs and said the infant was in convulsions. Mrs. Lapham, in consequence, hurried up stairs, and found the intent cry ing violently, and on looking at its mouth, fo un d i t much inflamed on one aide, an d it was quite evident, from its con tortions, that it was suffering severely Mrs. Laph am be coming alarmed at the child's condition, particularly as she had observed the top part of its dress much discoloured and burnt, calved out to him, an d he instantly ran up s t a i rs first, and flex' proceeded for th e assistance of Mr. Sewell, a medical gentl e man in the neigh bourhood. Mr. Sewell being absent from home, his a ssista n t promptly attend ed, and on examining the mouth of the infant said that vitriol, or sone such acid had been poured into it. H e applied what ie conceived to be necessary to counteract the effects of ;he acid, and while doing so , he (Mr. Lap ham) questiot e d th e prisoner ha s to how tne infant could have become so injured and its clothes burnt in th e manner they appe a red, when sh e said that both had been occasioned bilihe candle falling out of the candlestick on to the chest of the child. This, both himself, and Mr. Sewell's assistant, believed to be perfectly impos sible, as the inside of the infants mouth was much injt . red, and if th 4 candle bad fallen, as she alleged, the out side of the mouth would have been much more seriously damaged before the inside would have become injured. Having no doubt that the prisoner bad administered some thing imprope. to the child, ho told her he should give he into custody, End sent for a constable. The prisoner here d . isappeared, aid a f ter searching the hou se for her he went into the back yard, when he found her lying on the pavement with her lege and arms extended, and foam ing at the mouth, and he at once concluded that she had taken poison. He, in consequence, called to the doctor to come to her assistance, exclaiming at the time that it was a repetition of the tragedy at Stepney. Mr. Se well's young min attended to her, but she recovered too rapidly to leave an y further suspicion of her intention to commit suicide, and she was given over to a police constable. Mr. Elliott—aad any dispute arisen between your self, your wife, tad the prisoner recently? Mr. Lapham--None whatever, sir. The prisoner, after the usual caution, was asked if she wished to say anything to the charge, and replied that the injuries were done with the candle, as she had first stated. Mr. Lapham presented before the magistrate, the dress worn by the infant at the time, and it was quite apparent at a glance that the burning was caused by a strong acid, and not by a candle. The prisoner was remanded. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EXTENSIVE RAILWAY AMALGAMATION. The York and North Midland, the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and the Leeds Northern Railway Boards of Direction have agreed to terms of amalgamation, which aro to be submitted to their respective proprietaries, on tLe 2d November, at special meetings to be held si multaneously for that purpose. The conditions of this amalgamation may be generally stated as follow : lst.—A complete fusion of the three corporations into one ; the shareholders of the respective companies be coming holders of distinct classes of shares in the united company. 2nd,—The profits of the united company, that is, the receipts after deducting the working expenses, to be di vided into three parts.-7 per cent. (and ultimately 93 per cent.) going to the Leeds class of shares, and 93 per cent. (and ultimately 90 2-3 d per cent.) being divided, in the proportion already explained, between the York class and the Berwick class of shares. 31—The per centsgcs so apportioned are then to he subject to the same charges, including debenture interest, as the Leeds Northern, York and North Midland, and York, Newcastle, and Berwick Companies, are separately liable to at present, and the overplus will be the dividend on each class of shares. Tho debenture debts of the three companies will be consolidated into one, and be come the debt of the united company, the interest there on hating the same priority over all other claims which it has at pruent ; but the preference share capital of each company will only have a claim upon the per cent age of earnings appropriated to that company. The first intention of these companies was to make a traffic arrangement only, but it was soon found that the most beneficial course for all parties would be to enter into a permanent amalgamation. HEREFORD, ROSS, AND GLOUCESTER. The halt-yearly meeting of this company, adjourned from August last, was held in Hereford yesterday, to decide as to the policy of having one general station at Hertford, for the three railways concentrating there, viz., the Shrewsbury and Hereford, the Newport, Aber gavenny, and Hereford, and the Hereford, Ross, and Gloucester. Mr. Booker, M,P., presided. A warm dis cussion ensued, which ended in the chairman moving the confirmation of the directors' recommendation, that there bo the one independent station selected by Mr. Brunel. The motion was agreed to after a discussion, and the meeting separated. CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD UNION. A meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the Town-hall, Cheltenham, "to consider and determine upon what steps can be taken to obtain a direct railway communication from Cheltenham to London old Oxford, and to pass such resolutions thereon as may be deter mined on at the meeting." The chair was taken by Mr. Russell, the high-bailiff. The discussion which took place was animated, and the project of the proposed new railway brought out under the auspices of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, was warmly supported. The town of Cheltenham, although possessing two lines of railway—one on each guage— is very inconveniently situated as regards the metro polis and the country eastward of the town. In 1847, an Act of Parliament was passed—the Cheltenham and Ox ford Railway Act—for constructing a line of railway between those two places on the broad gauge in con nexion with the Great Western Railway.—This line was promoted by the Great Western Company, but its con struction has been deferred until the powers of the Act have expired this year. This circumstance, and the fact that the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Corn pauy are at this moment on the eve of opening their line from Wolverhampton to Wolvercot, near Oxford, and are, moreover, (by means of the London and Mid- Western R ailway), seeking an independent access to the metropolis, has materially altered the position of the pro moters of the original Cheltenham and Oxford Railway. A new company has, therefore, been formed for con structing a line to connect the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway with Witney, Burford, Northleach, and Cheltenham. It is contemplated here after to unite the Cheltenham and Oxford Union and the London and Mid-Western Railways with the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway—thus forming one undertaking. The new line will be about 34 miles in length, which is something less than half the present distance by railway from Cheltenham to Oxford, and will reduce the distance between London and Cheltenham, by the London and Mid-Western by 23 miles. The line is proposed to be worked by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company. A contract is to be made with that company for the pay ment of a tollage for th e use o f t h e li ne, so a dj uste d as to secure six per c e nt, p er annum on t h e pa i d - up s h are capital, without implicating the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company in a guarantee. The Oxford and Wolverhampton Company are to provide rolling stock and plant, and arrangements are to be made by the Oxford and Wolverhampton Company by which direct access is to b e a ff orded to the South-Western sta tion in London. The landowners along the line are favourable to the undertaking, and the surveys made for the old company are expected to be rendered in part available for the new. After a somewhat lengthened discussion, resolutions in favour of the undertaking were adopted. ABERDEEN. The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in this line was held yesterday at Hadley's Hotel, for the purpose of adopting the report and a c co un t s , an d for other busi ness. Lord James Hay, chair man o f th e com p an y, having taken the chair, the Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting ; after which the Chairman wished to make one or two opening remarks, lie be lieved that what their lino wanted was traffic, and that was only t be obtained by extending the line north wards to Elgin, and thence to Burgh ead, a distance of 82 miles. Burghead touched the Moray Firth, and thereby commanded the whole traffic both to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; in the one case by the Caledonian Canal, in the other by rail. On a recent visit to Scotland he had been astonished at the resources of Cro warty, Caithness, and Sutherland, all counties beyond Burghead, and he believed that all they wanted was traffic southward to make these resources available. Even so far away as Orkney, he had seen as good short-horns and Lei cesters as could be found in any part of England. He believed that ultimately there would be railway commu nication to John-o'-Groat's, and that it was their interest to promote that result by every means in their power. Any railway extension he contemplated could be carried out at an expense a little exceeding 5,0001. a mile, the figure at which the Deeside line had been constructed. That line had been constructed at 15,3751. a mile. His belief was, that these extensions were necessary to make the line return a revenue. The next point was the open ing of a communication with the docks at Aberdeen, for which a purchase of land would be necessary. For that land he would not consent to give more than the market price, and he trusted that the Aberdeen trustees would see that the proposed erection would be for the benefit of the town, and consent to take a moderato price for the ground. He would put a series of resolutions to the meeting. The resolutions, generally adopted the report and accounts (already published), gave powers for the creation of now debenture and preference stock for capi talization of arrears of interest, and auth or i se d th e rais ing of money for cont inuations and station at Aberdeen. The proceedings . terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND AMALGAMATION. All that has as yet transpired relative to the terms of the amalgamation to bo proposed between the North- Western and Midland Railway Companies, is that such terms are rather more favourable to the Midland than those formerly offered by the North-Western. The capital expended up to the 30th of June last by the London and North-Western Company amounted to 29,574,6971., and by the Midland to 17,093,1971., making together 46,667,89 4 /. The revenue for the year ending the 30th of June of the former company amounted to 2,675,4751., and of the latter company to 1,281,6471., to gether 3,957,1221. The working and other expenses, rates and taxes, amounted so 1,537,4221., leaving 2,419,7001. to meet guarantees, preference charges, in terest on loans, and dividend on ordinary capital of both companies. The amount of capital and loan authorized to be raised by the two companies is 56,916,7801. The aggregate length of railway already constructed by the two companies and in operation is 1,038,1 miles.

Brevet Lieut.• Colonel Eld shortly succeeds to the licur.•colonelcy of the 90th Light Infantry in Dublin. by the retirement of Lieut..Culonel Vaughan, who sells out. THE LATE ELECTION.--During► the contested elec tion of the King's County, some Roman Catholic pen sioners took a very active part amongst the mobs. The most conspicuous was a pensioner from the Bth Hussars, named Glennan, who for his violent conduct was sen tenced by the magistrates to one month's imprisonment and bard labour. A representation was made to the proper authorities, and on Monday last an order was received by Major Phibbs, staff officer, directing " Glennan to be dismissed from the local corps, and to receive no pension during the ensuing six months." The sentence is considered a very lenient one. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 21. This being the 47th anniversary of the battle of Tra falgar, the old Victory was dressed in garlands at her mast heads and figure head, and the officers entertained the Commander-in-Chief and his staff, in honour of the day, on board. The boys and crew were entertained also with roust beef and plum-pudding. The 18th anni versary meeting of the Seamen's and Marines' Orphan Schools was hold at noon, when Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C. M.G., the Commander-in-Chief, presided. The report read on the occasion showed the institution to be in a highly satisfactory condition. The Pallas, Russian frigate. is hourly expected at this port, from Cornstaclt. Tho Wasp, 14, Commander Lord Johu Hay, went to Spithead to-day, and in the evening sailed for the Medi terranear.

The dates of the following letter from the squadron of Sir. E. Belcher have been anticipated in the dispatches from Sir E. Belcher himself and others from Beechey Island ; but nevertheless a non-efficial account from one in the squadron will not be uninteresting:— "Lievly, Davis's Strait, June 6, 1852. " The Arctic squadron is at present snugly moored in the harbour of Lievly, Davis's Strait. Our passage out has not been a very pleasant one, although we were towed to 21 deg. of west longitude. We did not reach the Whale Islands till the 29th of May, 31 days from Stromnesa, two thirds of which time our deeply-laden little craft was literally under water, consequently you may safely class her amongst those animals designated amphibious, but, as Jack' says, 'it will all rub off when dry.' Thank God, we are now in the region of icebergs and smooth water. Nothing worthy of remarking oc curred during our passage, and to the best of my know ledge all hands in the expedition are well, with the ex ception of Captain Kellet, who has been poorly since the steamers left us. Our Arctic commodore kept us strictly in sailing order, line abreast,' and did not lose sight of one of us for a single hour during the passage; no mat ter whether a calm or a gale, the signal flew, Keep your station.' " We weighed anchor from Whale Islands yesterday. With the exception of a few straggling pieces we have as yet met with no ice, so it is quite probable that it is a block game' to the northward. Ido long to see the commencement of the Melville Bay campaign, in order to witness the effects of galvanism and gunpowder on its opposing barriers. We can form no idea as yet what kind of season we are going to have; if we may believe the natives' it will be an open' one, but there is little faith to ba placed in them. However, be it as it may, there is a general determination throughout the expedi tion that no obstacle shell impede our progress. Cer tainly, it is not in mortals to command success; but with all the experience of former expeditions to guide us, and possessing resources which they did not, as well as the greater portion of our crews being inured to Arctic ser vice. we would be undeserving the name of Englishmen should wo altogether fail. I am one of those who have returned twice from an unsuccessful search of the missing navigators. I am among those who have been blamed for not doing our duty, by mon who, whatever may be their claims to science, are about as competent to discuss Arctic sub jects as I am to deliver a lecture on conchology, a science of which I do not even know the technical terms. But, in conclusion, mark what I say !—Bells will ring, and bonfires will blaze—from the Land's End to John o'-Groats—on the return of Belcber's expedition. " I forgot to mention that the North Star lost a boat, and had another stove, on her passage out. And her spare topsail-yard, which was stowed in the chains, broke in two by a heavy sea striking her. Yesterday, in working into the Lively, the Pioneer carried away her mizenmast, through coming in contact with an ice berg. " I have no other news of importance to communicate to you. You will receive this by the way of Copen hagen." THE AUXILI RAIVI ARY CLARCH FOR F The Admiralty have received the following letter from Commander Inglefield, who has so disinter es t e dl y pro ceeded in the screw-steamer Isabel, to assist in the hazardous search for Sir John opy Franklin's exp e di t i on: — (C .) " Screw Discovery-vessel, Isabel, August 12, 1852. " Godhaven, Disco, Greenland. it Sir,--The assistance I have received in so many ways from the Board of Admiralty in equipping my little vessel for her Arctic voyage induces me to suppose their lordships will he pleased to learn I have so far advanced on my voyage, and that the squadron under Sir Ed. Belcher passed this port on the 12th of June, having left it on the 10th, and finding the Waigatt Passage blocked with ice returned southward to take the open bay. "I shall sail in a few hours, having only put into God haven to make good some losses sustained in a gale off Cape Farewell.
