FRANCE. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—Oct. 28. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. M. Charles Rivet, the Chairman of the Western of France Railway Company, has addressed the follow ing letter to the papers, contradicting the report of the fusion of that Company with others:- 4 Sir,—Reports circulated at the Bourse for some days past, and repeated by several journals, would lead to a belief that a fusion is being negotiated between the railway companies, the lines of which are to traverse the west of France and Normandy. The directors of the Western of France Railway Company consider it to be a duty they owe to the public and their shareholders, to declare that those reports are unfounded. Tbey fear to confirm them by remaining silent, and I pray you in their name to aid in contradicting them." OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Justice Cresawell.) John Lewis, 19, who was convicted on Wednesday of the crime of manslaughter, was placed at the;bar to re ceive judgment. The Chief Baron, in passing sentence, said that the jury had taken a very merciful view of the prisoner's case, and they had acquitted him of the charge of murder, which was the one originally preferred against him; and they had also recommended him to mercy, on account of his good character, and the provocation he had received. To a certain extent he concurred in the view the jury had taken of the matter. There was no doubt that, originally, he had no intention to destroy life, but that having been continually subjected to insult and annoy ance from the deceased and his fellow-workmen in the shop, he had committed the act under the influence of sudden excitement; and if he had only made USk3 of his fists, or any other weapon of offence with which nature had furnished him, and death had been the re , ult, he should have considered the case ono which called for M ANSION-HOUS E.—Giovanni Maraschovi, an Austrian seamen, was charged by the Austrian Consul under an Act of Parliament just come into operation, which enables her Majesty to carry into effect arrange ments with foreign powers for the apprehension of sea men who desert from their ships when in British ports. The conduct of the defendant excited some astonish ment. Vincinzo Sapnicb, mate of an Austrian vessel called the Rosa Maris, now lying in the London Docks, said, through the medium of an interpreter, the defendant signed the ship's articles, by which he engaged to navi gate the vessel from Constantinople to Venice, in the course of which voyage she was to touch at certain ports. Arrived at London he left the ship without con sent either of the captain or the mate, and refused to re turn, by which conduct he subjected the vessel to great inconvenience. The preliminary steps to the formation of an Im perial Guard are already taken. The 13th regiment of Chasseurs and the two squadrons of Guides of the staff are broken up. A regiment of Guides, of six squadrons, comprising 63 offi3ers and 1,140 men -89 horses for the former, and 960 for the latter—is in course of formation. The men will be recruited from The defendant, with fierce gesticulations, swore that he was determined not to return to the vessol, what ever might happen to him. He could accommodate himself more to his own taste in some other ship, and no one should attempt to compel him, if ho had any regard for his life. the cavalry soldiers of the proper height, with horses corresponding. Their pay is to be regulated accord ing to the tariff of the sth of December, 1840. All the officers of the 13th regiment of Chasseurs and of the two squadrons of Guides, now disbanded, are to be reappointed as soon as possible either in the regi ment of Guides or in some other cavalry regiment. The officers of the 13th regiment of Chasseurs who cannot find employment in the sub-division of the arm to which they belong are to receive an indemnity. The Paris, relates the following curious incident, which occurred during the passage of the Prince President through the department of the Deux Sevres. The mayor of the commune of St. Maixent, thinking that the review of the morning would be followed by a breakfast, came to be present at it. He was after wards returning to his commune, when he saw the Prince in his carriage, proceeding towards Saint Maixent. He then took off his scarf, and waved it over his head. The Prince, astonished at seeing little more than nominal punishment. The prisoner, however, had made use of a knife, a most dangerous weapon; and in every case where such an instrument was resorted to, it was impossible that the Court, having re gard to the safety and security of human life, could allow such a case to be passed over without some severity of punishment. The learned Judge then sentenced the prisoner to be confined in the gaol of Newgate for nine menthe. The Lord Mayor (to the interpreter)—Tell him that sort of language can have no effect here, and that we are bound by the law between this country and Austria to give him up as a deserter. The defendant said he did not care about any regula tions ; that ho was determined to make the moat des perate opposition to any person who should attempt to force him on board ; and that ho neither cared about his own life nor about the lives of others. The Lord Mayor then directed the officers to put handcuffs on the defendant if they found he wqs danger ously inclined, and to place him as soon as possible under the authority of his captain. Giuseppe Losiah, a seaman on board the same vessel, was charged with having committed a violent assault upon the mate on the high seas. The complainant was anxious that the defendant should be detained, but as the vessel was to sail next morning, the necessary evidence could not be produced. It was stated that Giuseppe Losiah was ten times more formidable than the former defendant, and that the rest of the crew were actually in constant dread of his violence. The defendant said no power on earth should prevail upon him to return to the vessel he had left. He was determined to attack all who opposed him. The Lord Mayor said that as he was prevented from going into the case from the absence of necessary evi dence, he should treat the defendant as a deserter, and deliver him to the captain to be dealt with according to the merchant seaman law of Austria. The defendant was then conveyed on board. this signal of distress, stopped his horses. Mon - - seigneur," said the mayor, " I was desirous of wit nessing the review which you have just passed, but I had hoped to get back to my commune in time to receive you, but I see that it is impossible, for my carriage will not keep up with your post horses."—":l beg your pardon, Monsieur le Maim,' replied the Prince, "it is very possible, for I have a seat at your service." The mayor got into the car riage. They soon saw on the road a number of peo ple, in confusion, and a triumphal arch almost aban doned. The carriages stopped, and a Garde Cham petre approaching, said, "Ah Monseigneur, we are very unhappy, for we have lost our mayor."—" Be tranquillised, my good friend,"replied Louis Napoleon, "for I have brought back your mayor to you.' The mayor then alighted, and in the name of the com mune presented the Prince with a silver reaping hook, and conducted him under the triumphal arch, formed of ploughs and agricultural implements and produce of different kinds. The Prince expressed his,A satisfaction, and presented the mayor with a roleau of gold pieces, td distribute amongst the poor, and let the place amidst cries of "Vive l'Empereur." The police have• just arrested the Baron de la B— on a charge4of having distributed money among the workmen in the Faubourg St. Antoine, in order to make them partisans of the Count de Chambord, and of having used offensive language in speaking of the Prince President, even to the extent of expressing regret. at the failure of ,the plat at Marseilles. On visiting, the lodgings of the prisoner, in the Place Itoyale, the police found some military weapons, and a large quantity of political lucubrations. GUILDHALL.—SamueI Michallis, of 131, Bunhill row, and Jacob liyams, of 130, Petticoat-laue, general dealers, were charged, the former with robbing Mr. Baumann, of 25, London-wall, cap manufacturer, of property to a very large amount, consisting of cloth, velvet, and cap trimmings, and the latter with receiving the said property knowing it to have been stolen. Jobn Mark Bull, one of the City detective police, said that in consequence of information he received a fort night ago from Mr. Baumann, in whose employ the prisoner Michallis was as cutter and foreman, ho watched him in company with another officer, and on Wednesday night, a little past eight o'clock, he saw him leave his employer's and proceed across Fore-street to Milton -street, where he met the prisoner Hyams. Before they entered into con versation they both looked cautiously around several times. In a few minutes they parted, and Michallis went to 131, Bunhill-row, where he lived, Hyaena fol lowing him. When Hyams got to Bunhill-row, he walked to and fro in front of the house for ten minutes, when the officers lost sight of him suddenly. Soon after they saw him come out of Michallis's house with a car pet-bag, which was now produced. He went up Chis well-street to Finsbury-square at a rapid pace, when he was overtaken by the officers, who asked him what he had in his bag; to which at . first he made no answer, but on being told that they were detective officers, after some hesitation he said it contained cloth. On being asked from whom he received it, ho again hesitated, but said, if the officers would go back with him to Bunhill-row, he would show them; that his name was Hyams, and that he lived in Middlesex-street. At the station ho told the inspector that he received the bag from Michallis, but that he did not know for whom ho worked, but he believed he was in the cap line ; that he did not know whathe was to pay for the goods, as he was to meet Mi challis later in the evening. He gave up the key of the bag to witness, who found it to contain two pieces of cloth, four pieces of velvet, two pieces of glazed calico, six pieces of leather, two pieces of dark ribbon, and a piece of tape. He was subsequently asked, in the presence of Michallis, if he was the man who gave him the bag, and he said "Yes, he was." In cross-examination by Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, Hyams, the witness said that Hyams' an swers were found to be correct, and that tho house in Bun hill-row was a respectable one. Mr. Lewis said he could not resist a remand in this case, but he would apply for Hymns to be admitted to bail. Sir It. W. Carden said—Nothing you can say, Mr. Lewis, will induce me to accept bail; for this is one of those cases that the magistrates are ever anxious to en tertain when brought under their notice, and for my own part I would very willingly let off the thieves if I could make sure of convicting the receivers. The prisoners were then remanded till Wednesday next. _ _ _ From a statement subsequently made by the officer Packman, it appeared that the property found in Hyams' home formed a much larger stock than was required in that business, and consisted of large quanti ties of ribbons, buttons, leather, coloured and plain, black leather for hat-linings, waterproof canvas, serges, and sewing silk, three-fourths of which ho believed to have been stolen, as he found some concealed behind a knife-board in the cellar or kitchen, and other portions crammed into every hole and corner in the house. CLERKENWELL.—James Phair, a ruffianly-look ing fellow, 27 years of age, was charged with having violently assaulted his wife, by which her life is in dan ger. Several witnesses deposed that yesterday afternoon the neighbourhood of Dean-street, Holborn, was alarmed by the loud screams of the complainant, when the in• jured woman made her appearance at the first-floor window of No. 14. Dean-street, bleeding profusely, whilst the prisoner was beating her over the head with a heavy bludgeon. Police-constable Selby, 137 F, and several other persons entered the house, when the prisoner seized a poker, and made a ferocious attack on the officer, and, sifter a desperate resistance, was se oured. He was taken to the station-house and his wife to the hospital insensible. Her life was pronounced to be in danger. The prisoner said nothing in his defence. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded him for a week until the fate of his wife should be made known.

[A.DVERTIBEmENT.] Holloway's Ointment and Pills astonishing Remedies for the Cure of Ulcerous Wounds. —Extract of a letter from John Noble, Esq., Mayor of Bos ton, dated Aug. 12, 1852. "To Professor Holloway. Dear Sir,—Mrs. Sarah Dixon, of Liquorpond. street, Boston, has this day deposed before me that she was afflicted with ulcers on the arms, feet, and various parts of the body ; and, although the first medical advice was procured, at the cost of a large sum of money, she obtained no relief, but became worse. Being advised to try your invaluable ointment and pills, she did so, and persevered in their use, by which means she has been Perfectly cured.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London, FORGERY. Lewis James Coleman, who was brought to this court by h,beas from the Queen's Bench prison, Joseph Gur ney, 60, described as a merchant, and Henry Birch, who surrendered to take his trial, three respectable looking persons, were indicted for feloniously forging and utter incr a bill of exchange for 1871. 18i. 9d., with intent to defraud. Mr. Clarkson, in opening the case, said that the pri soners were charged with forging a foreign bill of ex change, purporting to have been drawn by a firm passing under the name of Francis Bottin and Co., at Nicaragua, in South America, and accepted by the firm of Coleman and Bottin, of Mark-lane. Upon looking at the depo sitions, however, he and his learned friend were of opinion that the charge could not be made out against Birch, but that he appeared merely to have been made a tool of by the other prisoners. Under these circum stances, he should offer no evidence against Birch, but would at once consent to a verdict of not guilty as re garded him, and he should then call him as a witness for the prosecution. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty with respect to Birch, and he was then removed from the dock.

Ho had his suspicions respecting the in strument, and while ho was making inquiries respecting it he put Birch off from time to time, and made different excuses for not discounting the bill. He at length received a letter from Gurney, in which he stated that the bill had been fraudulently obtained, and demanded its restitution ,• and he then said he would not give it up unless Mr. Gurney came to his office, and gave him a receipt for the bill. On the 30th of July, accordingly, Gurney and Birch came to his office, and after the former had written a receipt and acknowledged his con nexion with the transaction, an officer was called in and he gave them both into custody, and at the same time gave instructions for the apprehension of the other pri soner, Coleman. The witness added that his daughter had unfortunately married the brother of Coleman, and this was all the connexion between them. Mr. Parry cross-examined the witness with a good deal of severity, and endeavoured to show that he had been connected with some transaction of a disreputable character. Mr. Isaacs, however , denied most positively that there was the slightest foundation for any of the insinuations that were made against his character. He also denied that he was a bill discounter, or that he had ever had in his possession any bills that had been stolen from Prince Louis Napoleon. He said he was aware that some years ago a charge of bill stealing was preferred in that court by Louis Napoleon, but he was not in any way concerned in it, except by assisting the Prince in the prosecution, and he was paid for so doing. He did on one occasion, he said, discount a bill for 500 /. for Prince Louis Napoleon, and it was paid in due course. Mr. Shotter, clerk to Messrs. Nissen and Parker, en gravers, in Mark-lane, proved that the prisoner Gurney ordered the plate to be engraved from which the printed portion of the forged instrument had been taken. He also said that Coleman called for a proof from the plate, and he was represented to be Mr. Coleman, of the firm of Coleman and Bottin, of Mark-lane. Evidence was then given that Coleman had himself hired the counting-house, and that no such person as Bottin was ever seen there ; and a Spanish merchant, well acquainted with the state of Nicaragua, named Antonio Mettle, was called to prove that there was no such arm as Francis Bottia and Co., carrying on busi ness in that state. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Parry addressed the jury on behalf of his client, Coleman, and he contended that there was not a tittlo of evidence in the case to show any intention to defraud on his part. Mr. Dearsley also addressed the jury for the other prisoner, and, Mr. Justice Cresswell having summed up, the jury retired to deliberate, and, after being absent nearly an hour, they returned into court and gave a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Sentence was deferred. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) William Martin 19, clerk, and Edward Graves, 20, turner, was indicted, Martin for forging an order or re quest for the delivery of seven pairs of bracelets, valued at 81., with intent to defraud Charles Wild, and Graves with uttering the same order. The circumstances, the investigation of which occupied the Court nearly all the day, were these :—The prose cutor is a jeweller in Hatton-garden, and the prisoner, Martin, had been a clerk in his employ, but had for some time previously loft his service. a the 28th of September a man brought an order, purporting to be from a :Mr. Troup, a jeweller, also living in Hatton garden, requesting that the bracelets might be sent on approval, which was done. Within a few minutes of the same time, the same man went to another jeweller In Hatton-garden with a similar order, who did not give him the goods, and he went away. The gentleman to whom the second order was given, going out shortly afterwards, called on Mr. Troup, and then found that be had not sent the order in question. He then made a call on the prosecutors, and he found that he had been imposed upon, and upon looking at the handwriting he recognised it as the handwriting of the prisoner Martin. Information was then given to the police, and they knowing him to be the associate of Graves, took him in custody, and, being seen incornpany with other prisoners, was at once identified as the same man who had pre sented the order, and received the bracelets. The hand writing of Martin and the identity of Graves were clearly proved by a number of witnesses. The jury found them Guilty. Martin was ordered to be imprisoned for 12 months, and Grav, , s, being well known to the police, was transported for seven y ea rs. The Court eat considerably beyond the usual time of rising. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) George Holyhead, 39, firework - m aker, w as indicted upon the Coroner's warrant for feloniously slaying and killing John Howes and Cornelius Crowley, on the 4th of October. Mr. Carleen having stated the case, called Solomon Pigott, a toy dealer, of Little Norris -street, Whitmore-road, Hoxton, who stated that being himself a ch aler in fireworks, he went on Sunday, the 3d of October, to the prisoner's house, 30, Rose and C rown . cuurt, Eldon-street, Little Moortields, to purchase some fireworks. He got there a little before eight in the evening. Holyhead was then in the back parlour. When witness went in be left the room two or three times. Witness heard a noise in the room overhead. When Holyhead came back, witness made some remark about the lads being at work, knowing that he had one at work there whom they called Jack. Mrs. Holyhead said they had not left off yet. Witness said that no good ever came of Sunday work. Holyhead rued° no reply, but went upstairs, and when he came down, he said the boys might as well leave off for the night. His wife said it would be as well, for it was then hall-past eight. She then went up stairs, and, coming down again, said they had only a few to finish, , and Jack would stop to finish them. In about ten minutes after that they heard a terrific explosion in the room overhead. Prisoner, his wife, and two young girls all ran out into the court, and witness was so alarmed that he ran round into the back street. In about five minutes he came back, and, looking through the win dows into the shop, saw something; on the floor burning, and Holyhead standing by the side of it. Mrs. Holyhead then came out with borne burning but exploded fire works in her apron, fled witness helped to get the rest of the fireworks out of the shop. They then got the two deceased boys, who were oreadrully burned, on to a shutter, and conveyed them toSt. Bartholomew's Hospital. When they got back they examined the room, and found tse window frames entirely blown out, and the partition of the walls blown down and burnt. There were a quantity of empty cases lying about the room. The prisoner was dreadfully agitated, and said the shop was lighted with a flat candlestick and a glass globe over the light. Holyhead said this matter would be his rain. The boys were too much hurt to give any account of how it took place. George William Callendar, house surgeon at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, aaid the two boys were brought in about nine o'clock on the Sunday evening ; their in juries were such as to preclude the chance of recovery, and both died the next day. Their bodies were burnt all over in a most fearful manner. Mr. Sleigh, in a most able address, contended that there was no evidence to show that the prisoner had been guilty of wilful neglect. The Common Serjeaut having s , :mm d up, explaining the law to the jury, They, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Davie, Esq., Mayor o; Newport, and the General Board of Health:— " TO THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH. " Newport, Monmouthshire, Oct. 11, 1852. " Gentlemen —I take the liberty of calling your at tention to the following. In this town there is but one burial-ground connected with the Church of England, which is full to overflowing, so much so that the remains of the dead are often disturbed before they are wholly decomposed. In Mr. Clarke's report to your honourable board, dated 24th October, 1849, pages 35, 36, &c., your attention was called to this matter, as also to the crowded state of several burial-grounds attached to dissenting places of worship; the local board of health soon after sought a convenient spot for a cemetry, arranged with the owner for the purchase, and applied to you for ad vice as to the management and regulation thereof, when you informed them that the law officers of the Crown had advised that the Health of Towns Act did not give local boards sufficient powers to purchase and make cemeteries, but you hoped that a Bill would be brought into Parliament for the purpose. Last session passed away, and no Act to meet the difficulty was passed; the consequence is, that the local board has not yet com pleted the purchase of the ground. The churchyard, which in 1849 was so overcrowded that Mr. Clarke re ported " the sooner it is closed the better," is still the only consecrated ground for burial whilst the population is increasing most rapidly. In 1851, it was 7,000 ; in 1841, 13,000, and in 1851, nearly 20,000. The locomotive department of the South Wales Railway is to be at Newport, which alone will probably add 1,000 souls to us next year. And yet with all this, and the rapid approach of the cholera, we know not what to do for a burial-place. The local board of health is not only ready, but anxious to pro vide one. Fourteen acres of land in a most eligible place, are offered for the purpose. The price is agreed upon, but the board's hands are tied. • "In this em ergenc y I — apply to you, on behalf of my self and fellow-townsmen, and beg and entreat of you to bring in a Bill in the coming session which shall enable boards of health to purchase land from cemetries partly consecrated and partly unconsecrated, deal with vested and other rights, close all burial-grounds which are full, and arrange the terms, fees, &c., connected there with. Trusting that my appeal will meet with a ready response from you, I am, Sco., " i 3. J.DA;ns, Mayor of Newport." " TO H. J. DAVIS, MAYOR OF NEWPORT " Sir,—l am directed by the General Board of Health to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst,' pressing upon the board the importance of providing in the ensuing session a legislative remedy for the evils arising from the inability of local boards of health to close noxious burial-places, and to establish new public cemetries ; and in reply I am to inform you that the board are authorised to state that her Majesty's Government entertain a hope of being able to introduce into Parliament during the approaching session a measure to facilitate the creation of provincial cemeteries.—l am, &0., " C. MACAULAY, Secretary. " The General Board of Health, Whitehall, Oct. 20, 1852." FLIGHT OF A SWEEPSTAKE HOLDER.—At The Man °hosier Borough Court on Tuesday morning, a licensed victualler, named David Duckworth, was called upon to answer a summons c h a rging him with permitting gam _ Wing in his house , the Manchester Arms Inn. Mr. Duckworth did not appear, however, and Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent of police, stated that he had left the town, that he was a man that had dealt largely w ith racing "sweeps," and had gone off with some hundreds of pounds. He had in his possession the proceeds of a sweep for the Cambridgeshire Stakes, to be run at Newmarket that day—a sweep to which the members had paid half a-crown each. He was reported to have gone to Aus tralia. A FEMALE RAILWAY PICKPOCKET. --A very stylishly dressed female, of ladylike manners, was brought up in custody at the Leeds Court-house on Tuesday last, charged with robbing the lady of the Rev. John Ward, rector of W'eth, near Ripen. On the previous day Mrs Ward arrived in Leeds by the express train of the Great Northern Railway, and at the station in Leeds was met by her husband. A cab was engaged for her, and just as she was entering it her husband observed the prisoner in the act of withdrawing her hand from his wife's pocket. Mr. Ward at once seized both arms of the de linquent, and she then dropped the purse just abstracted from Mrs. Ward's pocket upon the pavement. She was given into custody, an d, a f ter a f u ll examination before the justices, she was committed for trial at the next ses sions. THE COLONIAL MAIL.—The Panama Star of the 7th instant contains a notice to the effect that the mails by the British steamers will in future be landed at As pinwall, Navy Bay, instead of Chagres, the government of New Grenada having transferred the post-office from the latter to the former place. By this change the British mails will be received in Panama within two days a fter the arrival of th e s teamer at Aspinwall, instead of B liv r e itih o s r six days as formerly. It is also stated that the steamers in the Atlantic will receive and disem barkpassengers at Navy ILy in f u t ure i ns t ea d o f e hng r their es. A DANCING SALOON IN EGYPT. It was proposed to us , and with some he s it a ti on dot, r mined, that we shouldinvite ourselves to join th e p arty . Tee application was received with politeness, and the tauter of the house himself came out to introduce us. Presently, therefore, we were comfortably installed in a large room, dimly lighted with oil lamps, upon divans, with pipe and fingan in hand, in company with as strange a set as it has ever been my lot to associate with. The l3ouluk himself was a genteel sort of ruffian enough. Ile was treating another Bouluk, just arrived from Esneh— a great burley, drunken , roaring villain, who was rolling about in a place of honour at the upper end of the room. About half-a-dozen other Arnaouts, all of cut-throat physiognomy; a few handsome, quiet men, said to be Circassian elemlocks: the Sheikh-el-Beled, and other magnates of the village, sat around; and near the door was a crowd of inferior people, Arnaouts and others. There were seven or eight dancing girls, all more or less agreeable. 'rho principal one, Ilesneh herself, was really a tall, elegantly shaped, beautiful woman, and would have attracted admiration and applause in any European ball-room. Her eyes, which, as the custom, she generally kept half-closed in dancing, the lashes sometimes even resting on the cheeks, seemed, when they opened and beamed around the room, to fill it with redoubled light; her nose, her mouth, her chin—her every feature—was exquisitely moulded, and nothing could exceed the beauty of her arms and hands. In this instance, fame had fallen short of the truth. I will not describe the performance of this Egyptian Aphrodite—as superior to Kutchuk as a pine apple to a potato—because I should have in a groat measure to re peat what has been said in another place. liesneh, how ever, but slightly overpassed the bounds of delicacy, and gave real pleasure by the supple elegance of her move ments. Both herself and her companions seemed under the mark in animal spirits, and went through their task with very little enthusiasm, refusing even to drink the arralti that was offered. It is probable, therefore, that what wo were told was true—namely, that their services were forced and gratuitous. It is the custom to make presents at the end of every applauded dance, or at any rate, towards the close of the evening; but not a pare made its appearance. We asked the Sheikh-el-Beled, in a whisper, whether we should give the girls something; but he said by no means, as the Arnaouts would be of fended. If we were in a generous mood, however, we might make a present to the servants at the door 1" Social Life in Egypt.

PROPJSED A MALGAMATI , N OF THE LEEDS NORTHERN WITH THE YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK, AND THE YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAYS.-LIVER- POOL, THURSDAY. —This day a meeting of the Liver pool shareholders in the Leeds and Northern Railway unfavourable to the proposed amalgamation with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and the York and North Midland Railway, without a large equivalent, was held in the Clarendon Rooms. Charles Holland, Esq., was called to the chair. The Chairman having briefly ad dressed the meeting, Mr. Edwin Ward Jackson, ot Nor ton, Stockton-upon-Tees, who attended as a deputation from a large body of shareholders opposed to the amal gamation, then came forward, and in an exceedingly lengthy address proceeded to point out the present posi• term of the Leeds and Northern Railway. Several other shareholders addressed the meeting in opposition to the erapossd amalgamation, and the following resolution was adopted : " That the shareholders of the Leeds and Northern Railway, assembled this day, desire to express their cordial thanks to Edwin Ward Jackson, Esq., of Norton, Stockton-on-Tees, for his kindness in attending this meeting, and for the able and lucid statement he has made to them relative to th© present position and future prospects of that railway, and that he be requested to defend their interests at the ensuing general meeting to be held at Leeds on the 2nd of November." The pro ceedings then closed. SUNDERLAND AND LEEDS NORTHERN JUNCTION RAILWAY.—It is stated, in rererence to this scheme, that the proposed amalgamation of the Leeds Northern with the York and Berwick and North Midland railways is looked upon with great distrast in the large towns in the north of England, and, H brought before Parliament for ratification, that it will meet with strenuous opposition, inasmuch as such amalgamation will prevent all prospect of a competing line of railway from these towns to the metropolis and manufacturing districts. At the present moment passengers by the Leeds Northern (which ex tends from Stockton, by the Clarence Railway, to Ferry hill, a small colliery village in South Durham) are obliged to travel the remainder of the journey to Sunder land, Newcastle, Shields, Durham, and the towns north of those places, by means of the York and Berwick Rail way. That company has a station at Ferry-hill, and every obstacle has hitherto been thrown in the way of the Leeds Northern forwarding their traffic north. Tho opening out of this competing line to the manu facturing districts is considered a matter of grave con sideration to the shippers in the Tyne and Wear; and with that view the above line from Sunderland, to form a junction with the Leeds Northern, has been devised, and plans and sections prepared to go to Parliament in the ensuing session. The proposed new line, to start from Coxhoe, the terminus,of the Leeds Northern, passes below Quarringtotehill to Cassop•moor, thence to Seer burn-house Colliery, Pittington, Houghton-le-Spring, Herrington, Bainbridge, Holm, &c., terminating in Sun derland, the railway running the whole distance through an extensive coal field. Mr. George Hudson, M.P., is understood to he one of the principal promoters of the line; Mr. Young, of Leeds, engineer; and Messrs. Wright, of Sunderland, solicitors. The railway can be further extended to Newcastle and Shields by a high level bridge across the Wear. Since the northern coal trade has been subject to competition in the London market by coal brought from the inland collieries a very great anxiety has been felt in the northern counties to facilitate the shipment of coal for this market. A branch line, connecting Sunderland with the trunk of the York and Berwick Railway at Pensher, is nearly completed. STAINES AND WOKINGHAM AND WOKING RAIL wAY.—A company is now being formed for the purpose of obtaining an Act of Parliament for the construction of a line of railway, commencing by a junction with the Windsor branch of the South-Western Railway at Staines, and passing through or near Egham, Englefield green, Virginia -water, Sunning•hill, B3gshot, Ascot heath, Bracknell, Binfield, and Warfield, in addition to other places, and joining the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway at Wokingham. A branch line is also contemplated, which will leave the main line near Long cross, and passing near Chobham, join the London and South-Western Railway at Woking. The estimate for construction, based upon a conditional contract, has already been taken at the rate of 13,0001. per mile for a double line, including the cost of land and expenses. The main line will accommodate a rich end populous district, and open one of the most delightful neighbour hoods in the vicinity, which only requires to be accessible to become a favourite and popular resort. The proposed line, with the branch, will also complete the connecting lines from the north and north-east with Southampton and other ports on the south coast; and the Woking branch would appear necessary to carry out the plan of the North-Western Company in promoting a line from Willesden to Brentford, to complete the communication from their line by the South-Western to Southampton. The immediate neighbourhood through which the con templated line passes is as yet unsupplied with railway communication. THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY.—The directors of the North British Railway have denied, in the moat positive manner, that the slightest toleration or coun tenance has been given by them to the recent attempt to bring about a repudiation of the 51. guaranteed shares of that undertaking. They state that in suspending the dividend, after notice that its payment would be at their own personal risk, they acted on the legal advice which is usually given on such occasions, but that, so far from participating in the conduct of the party by whom they had been placed in this position, they resolved to apply to Parliament for a bill to prevent the possibility of the rights of the shareholders being successfully disturbed on the present or on any future occasion. With this feeling on their part, it may be hoped that the matter will be speedily settled. At the same time it must be added, that to ordinary minds there appears little occa sion for any new appeal to Parliament, since nothing could seem more explicit than the legal position of these shares as they now stand.

This new line will be of great importance, as it will effect a diver sion to a considerable extent of the immense traffic of this part of Europe. Several influential Dutch capita lists are understood to be engaged in the undertaking, which has the approbation of the authorities in Holland, Oldenburg, and Bremen. Negotiations are also pending for the sanction of the Hanoverian Government.

The quantity delivered to consumption from manufactories and from entrepots shows a total of 3,249,139 kilos., being a decrease of 163.771 kilos. from the former, and an increase of 677,324 kilos. from the latter.
