A train, on its passage from Liverpool to Birmingham, on approaching the acute curve of the Warrington junction, was observed by the switch keeper to be coming at the rate of forty miles per hour, instead of five or six, which is the speed ordered for that especial part. Judging that certain mischief would be the re3u:t of taking the turn with that speed, he promptly and praiseworthily determined to allow the switch to remain unturned, with the intention of signalising the train back again. Accordingly, the train bolted past towards Manchester at the rate of forty miles per hour, and, in spite of his flags and signals, held on its pace. The guard now saw that something was wrong; but, as he had no other means of communi cating with the engine-driver, he scrambled over the tops of the carriages, at most imminent risk, till, at length, on reaching the engine, he discovered that both engineer and stoker were under gross intoxica tion. So considerable a time, therefore, had elapsed before he could arouse them to a sense of danger, that they had reached Patricroft, an d were upon the point of running into a passenger train, which must have been attended with great loss of life, when matters were brought to a stand-still. The perusal, therefore, of the above account has led me to the following reflection, as to a practical and effectual means of enabling the guard of a pas senger train to hold an immediate control over the steam valve of the engine, viz. :-1. Every carriage top, on the right hand side, to be fitted up with two small blocks. 2. Also a line, or chain, to be reaved through these blocks, and to the length of the carriage with spare chain, to meet the space between the car riages. 3. The end of each of these chains to be fur nished with a hook and eye, by which they can be connected and disconnected at pleasure. 4. The guard to ride upon the last carriage of the train, which must always be fitted up with a small winch, around which the end of the rope is coiled. 6. The other end of the rope or chain, to be attached to the handle or lever of the steam valve, so contrived that, when the guard turns his winch, the rope slould immediately withdraw the steam from the engine, which would at once bring the train to a stand, as well as apprise tha engine -driver that there was some thing wrong. In order to carry out the arrangements, the car riages must, at each main terminus, be so placed that the line leads up or down one specific side ; and, in attaching or detaching carriages, each carriage carries with it its own fittings in the same manner as it now carries its connecting chains. The above method would provide against the contingencies arising from intoxication of the driver, sudden illness, accidents by lightning, the engine-driver falling off, or aban doning the engine under the influence of sudden danger, &c. In short, I humbly submit, that a quick and entire shutting-off of the steam would be more generally effective, in preventing accidents, than any expedient hitherto devised, and that, too, in the most simple and economical manner. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Jan. 6, 1848. P.S. By fitting up both sides of the carriages, tl? necessity for turning them at the termini will be obviated ; by exhibiting a flag from the carriage window the guard could immediately operate. SINGULAR DEATH IN A PRISON. Yesterday evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest in the Tothill-fields Prison on the body of Mrs. Hannah Thomas, aged 45, a lady respectably connected, who was committed from Bow-street, on Friday last, for giving a servant a false character. Ann Stone, a sub-warder, said, in answer to ques tions by the jury, that the cells were not heated with pipes, but prisoner had two blankets and a rug. On Sunday she made no complaint. At half-past seven the next (Monday) morning witness found her lying on the floor with her bed and bed-clothes. She spoke to her, but she could not or would net get up. She called Mrs. Anderson, another warder, and she was raised up, but was apparently unable to stand; they, however, put her day clothes on. The CORONER—What was that for ? Witness said she did not know, but they did it. The CORONER—Was no medical assistance sent for ? Witness replied in the negative, and said that she wentko breakfast; and on her return, at a quarter past eight, the deceased was sitting in the corner where they had left her, and talking to herself. The CORONER—Did it not occur to you to send for the surgeon ? Witness replied that she di I not, for she thought she was shamming. At twenty minutes past eight, on going to deceased, she appeared dead, but by order of the matron she was put into a I warm bath ; and the doctor, having been apprised of her illness, almost immediately attended, but when taken out of the bath she was quite dead. Mr. John Levies, the surgeon of the prison, stated that he saw the deceased on Saturday, not on ac count of any illness; she complained of suffering, but that she wished him to intercede with the magistrate to revoke her sentence. She spoke of the disgrace of being there, and cried very much. He saw her the next day, but she made no complaint. Mr. Levies then stated that he had opened the body, and found about a pint of venous blood in the cavity of the chest, which had come from the lungs and fully accounted for the death. After a lengthened investigation, in which the pro priety of visiting the cells in the night was suggested by the coroner, and the governor of the prison having stated that the wardens had no right to give en opinion as to whether the prisoner shammed ill or not, the jury returned a verdict that the " Deceased died from natural causes." MELANCHOLYDEATH FROM THE BITE OF A RATTLESNAKE. We are seldom called upon in New York to record an event of such a character, or one that has thrown so sudden a gloom among a large circle of personal friends and acquaintances, as that of the sudden and melancholy death of Dr. Arnold F. Wainewright, of No. 41, Crosby-street, of this city, occasioned by the bite of a rattlesnake. The snake was sent him by a friend in Mobile, Alabama ; it was a large animal, about five feet in length, having twelve rattles ; it was contained in a box with spars over the top. The Doctor was on his way home from the ship with the present, but stopped at the Broadway -house to show the curiosity. The company present seemed to enjoy the sight of teasing and irritating the snake, while the reptile kept whizzing his rattle at a furious rate. The box was opened, and now there being a fair field, the reptile kept coiling and rearing himself in fierce defiance of his enemies. This display lasted for some time, when Dr. Waine wright touched him a few inches below the head, expecting that it could not bend its body suffi ciently to bite. In a moment he snapped, and in flicted a wound on the first joint of the middle finger of the right hand. This occurred at half-past six o'clock P.N. on Thursday. Dr. Smith was hereupon immediately called upon, and visited the patient. Re made a superficial excision of the part, and also cau terised it with nitrate of sulphur. lie also applied a light ligature immediately above the writ. The hand commenced to swell immediately after the occurrence of the accident. The deceased was then removed to his residence by a few friends, and Drs. Whittaker, Caldwell, Post, Parker, and Campbell were called in, and an application of turpentine to the wound was ordered on their arrival, as also the internal administration of diffusable stimulants. Although the disease progressed rapidly in its course to the fore-arm and arm, no constitutional symp toms seem to have made their appearance until it reached what the faculty technically term the " axilla," or armpit, When immediately the pulse began to flag; and, notwithstanding the continued application of stimulants by the mouth and also in other forms, the pulse never rallied until about twelve o'clock P.M., when death put a period to his existence. Nothing could equal the assiduity and attention paid to the patient by the above-named medical men, who remained with him throughout from the moment they were called in. They all, however, frankly acknow ledged that they had never seen a similar case before. Two medical students from Georgia were also pre sent, having seen similar cases, and gave valuable aid. Wainewright was a physician of eminent stand ing, . D d ing, of high professional reputation in medi c a l , lite rary, and scientific acquirements, having known and universally respected among his een Nlell profes sional brethren and friends. lie has been 11 ten years__, t taker. He was 4 0 years of a resident of New York, and studi ed under Dr. lie was formerly a captain in the 50th Regimen t of of Foot in the Briti s h service.

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, aro continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a esurvictiou of the utter ins possitility in isnumerahle eases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective itamoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists ef four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space ix which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush aro supplied at intervals with *Overeat spring joists, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its roate most perfectly. The capabilities of this mackine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively mete lla the Government and numerous public offices, while the *Mage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their anneal con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

YORK LICENSED VICTIIALLBRS' SOCIETT.-911 Monday last the members of the York Licensed Vic tuallers' Association gave their first annual dinner, in the De Grey Rooms, in St. Leonard's-place, a suite of rooms admirably adapted for such an entertainment. The banquet was supplied by Mr. Todd, of the White Hart Inn, and was furnished on a scale of great splen dour. The chair was taken by George Hudson, Esq., M.P. for Sunderland, and an alderman and magistrate for the city of York. He was supported by the Lord Mayor of York, John George Smyth, Esq., M.P., Alderman Barber, Richard Nicholson, Esq., Wells Hood, Esq., William Hothaw, Esq., Henry Cooper, Esq., John Pear son, Esq., Nicholas Charles Gold, Esq., George Denby, Esq , and other influential citizens. Deputations from kindred institutions at Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, &c., were also present. Mr. ex-Sheriff Roper was in the vice chair. Prior to the dinner a very satisfactory report was circulated among the guests. After the cloth had been removed, the Chairman proposed " Success to the Licensed Victuallers' Association," and numerous other local toasts. The last toast proposed was " Prosperity to the city of York," after which the company broke up, highly gratified with , the evening's entertainment. HONESTY REWARDED.—A few days since, as a poor man, named Ward, in the-employ of Mr. Thomas Wheatley, the contractor, was filling a mud-cart near the Greyeoat School, Greenwich, he observed a dirty piece of paper, and on taking it up, he found it to be a 501. note. He took it to Mr. S. Noble, who advised him to keep it until he heard of an owner. He did so, but ultimately he went to the Greenwich Bank, and the name of Bennett, soap manufacturer, was discovered on the b ack of the note. Thi s gen tl e man was w ritt en to, andidentified the note. As a recompense for honesty, Mr. Bennett ordered Ward, the finder of the note, to be paid, through the Nelson-street Bank, Greenwich, the sum of 2s. 6d. per week for life.—Kentish Mercury.

THE AFFAIRS OF SWITZERLAND. The following letter served as an introduction to ning to the President o f th e Di e t, u nder the memorandum addr esse d by Sir Stratford Can 10th of January : " M. le President,—Th e resum ption of the sittings date Berne, of the Diet, and many circumstances that have oc curred since our last conference, have induced me to submit to you a few observations of a character simi lar to those I previously communicated to you. I hope your Excellency will regard them as a proof of the interest which my Government has constantly taken in the affairs of Switzerland during the present complications. And in that conviction you will do me the hoaour to read with the greatest attention the memorial here annexed, and communicate it without delay to the Members of th e Diet." The following is a copy of the memorandum The Helvetic Confederation has just been exposed to a painful trial. It emerged from it ins so brilliant a manner, that all eyes are directed towards it with the liveliest interest for the future destinies reserved to it. At the moment when the Diet recommences its labours with a view to accomplish its mission, every body inquires what character shall be imparted to them. A very serious responsibility devolves on that assembly. Two courses are open to it. If it follow one, it may apply the fruits of its triumph to the wel fare of the common country; if it rushes into the other, it will prolong the painful impressions of war, and postpone for a long time the re-establishment of the essential conditions of a durable tranquillity and national independence. It is important to place that point in its full light. In order to enjoy internal pease, to preserve the means of maintaining their neutrality, and to avoid complications with foreign Powers, it is necessary that the Swiss cantons should treat each other with that cordial sympathy which results from mutual benevolence and the conviction of common interests. It is not in the nature of things that the preponderance of one party and the humiliation of the other can produce such a result. When a Government attempts to rule with the assistance of a single party, it is obliged to recur to arbitrary means—that is, to force, and can rely on the fidelity of none. If we examine the present state of public opinion we shall find that the systematic employment of violence is dangerous and expensive. In Switzerland it would doubtless be regarded as a thing at variance with the manners and institutions of the country. It would give rise to new perturbations, movements, and reactions; and the climax of danger and scandal would be that greater confidence would be extended to foreigners than to native Swiss subjects. Heaven be praised, the con flict has been confined to one year, and it is now merely matter of history : It is also m a tt er o f con gratulation that the provisional state of things is on the point of ceasing in the occupied cantons, and that the Federal army will speedily be reduced. We may add that a general amnesty is so perfectly in accord ance with the usages and feelings of the Swiss people that there can be no possible doubt it will be imme diately recommended by the Diet, and accorded by all the cantons. 0 What remains to be considered is reduced to two essential points—the defrayal of the expenses of the war and the revision of the Federal compact. It may readily be conceived that in the first moments of triumph there exists a disposition to make the con quered party pay every penalty. To conquer an enemy and spare him—to gain and yet to pay, appear to be inconsistencies which common sense rejects. The majority of the Diet, even supposing the Depu ties had no participation in the feelings created by the crisis, would have trusted too much to chance if in the outset they had not made some concession to public excitement. But now, in our opinion, cir cumstances permit, and duty requires, a more elevated course and a definitive resolution in accordance with the principles of sound policy and the permanent in terests of the Confederation. Justice does not war rant us in banishing indulgence, or in losing sight of circumstances which explain errors, and errors, moreover, which are expiated by defeat. It would be taking a very wrong course were we to persist i n treating the cantons of the Sonderbund with the ex treme rigour to which a hostile people, though forced to submit, does not necessarily yield. Reason, which teaches us by past experience not to allow ourselves to be led away by success, will perceive other motives, not less strong, by directing a glance into the future. Let us be just. Our task is not to oppress, but to conciliate; to fortify the federal bond. instead of leaving it to the risk of being broken by the first blast of every hurricane. The Diet will require the aid of all its members for the reform of the compact ; there are yearns., among them who have not heretofore acknowledged the advantage of extend. ing the attributes of the central Government and strengthening its authority. By more fre quent communications, by proofs of sincere good-will, and by the sympathy of common interests, they will be induced to make sacri fices for the desired object. The employment of force would be neither more nor less than the dis- avowal of the fundamental bases of the compact, and would endanger all that for the space of thirty years has bound Switzerland to the general System of peace and the public law of Europe. Think how much mischief has already been and may yet be wrought by a hasty resolution. The first fatal consequence of this resolution has been the exercise of arbitrary au thority in a country consecrated to liberty. Imme diately party spirit broke forth with violence, forced loans were raised, private property was sequestrated, partial and onerous contributions were levied on reli gioue institutions and private individuals, finally, a convent was suppressed and its property confiscated. It may be added that this state of things was ren dered the more fearful by the decrees of several pro visional Governments being issued in the face of Fe deral troops and Federal representatives. " To sum up all, a tax has been levied, the burden of which must be felt through the lifetime of the pre sent generation. Let it not be supposed that such seed can produce good fruit, or that the consequences of these imprudent measures will be confined to a few of the cantons. It is certain that every member of the Confederation will have to bear his portion of the burden. It will be felt politically, morally, and ma terially throughout all Switzerland ; and the bases of Swiss independence will be exp ose d to the danger of reaction." The note from the French Ambassador in Switzer land is as follows : " The undersigned " Neufchatel, Jan. 18. Ambassador of his Majesty the King of the French to the to transmit to his Helvetic Confederation has been ordered by his Government Excellency the Preside n t of . the Federal Diet the fol lowing note : ‘, When the Governmentu of the; King came to an understanding with th e Great Britain, Prussia, t overnments of Austria, and Russia, to offer its friendly mediation to puttit i l zerland, it purposed not only to concur in Switzerland, but also to IC down the civil war in which the Helvetic confedsassert the principle upon 2f) ration reposes, that is to say, the sovereignty of the sovereign states, which concluded amonfist themselves, as theereign states, the treaty of alliance known undername of the Federal Pact, and in which these terms tioned. In this respect the P, are expressly men nifested their opinion, when they demanded that it should be formally understood an Diet that no change could be maded declared by the in the Federal Pact without the unanimous consent of the twenty two cantons. " In thus watching for the interests of the Helvetic Confederation, and with sen timents o faithful friend. ship over the maintenance of the cantonal the Powers have act ed in vi rtue of their own right, sovereignty, and in perfect conform it y w ith the acts , which have regulated the situati on of Swi tzerland in Europe ; for the Helvetie Confed eration Was only reconstituted in 1814 and 18 15 by t he co-operation of the Powers. It was that co-operatio n which induced several of the ointons, and particularly the cantons of Schwyz, Appenzell, and Interior and Lower Unterwalden, to re-enter the Confederation, which they only h did on receiving from the D iet, and likewise f Powers, the assurance that th eir sovereignty from an te religion would ever be res p ecte d. And whentunite, the Powers, wishing to reco ncile, and ultimately the interests:of:S w it ze rlandvvith the general interest erest of Europe, accorded to the Confederation thus reconsti tuted some important territorial concessions, and the perpetual neutrality of its territory, they did s o out of consideration for the esse ntial foun dations of the Co nfederation, and in the confi dence tha t those foundations would be loyally maint ained ; a nd this is formally specified by the diplomatic acts an d docum ents of that epoch. " The advantages accorded to Switzerland, and the engagements which th e Powers have contracted toward her, are therefor e correlati ve and attached to the essential basis of t he or g aniz ation of the Confe deration. And when the Powe rs who have acc plished their engagemen ts tow ards the Swiss claim . from them the maintena nce of the principles to which their engagements corresp ond, they on-i e y exercise incontestable right, which t he y derive from the an treaties upn of the o which are based the rights same Con federation itself.

Two testimonial extracts shall suttee.: " Captain ()reig, from Qurdsso to London, states that the Fountain Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saving the skip ant 230 souls on hoard, two SCAMS In ok. bottom being partl3 - left withwtt calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat at sea and soon, after her common pump choaked and became use -1008. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain rump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a wuntite's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They net Instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with - the invention—it is a gigot been to so - elety."---Editors Liverpool Mail. The New Portab'e tire-engines have preserved a large portion •f Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on Are in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Qneen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. Horton's dycry, and 12,600/. worth of consigned pro perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and Your mil's, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in tine to prevent a large quantity of gun powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " Worth Walsh:lin.—At the lire the Portable Engine was •f great service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bit half the property mow destroyed miglit have been saved."—Nerfolk Chro nicle, Angerst 22, 1846. _ . At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the ptiblie. The cry was, feel the little engines and they will do the work, whets proved true. The four large engines present proved naelees. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo spheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pnraps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pump., and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrApe the water pea ards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the pow used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Bettor'. with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thee : —The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom exeeeL's half the rower consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain thr two thousand years to abate these palpable defects In bydranlic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most taw can enstain heavy rapid pump trials for 41 seconds, but some men drop at minute tune. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pairm an active sound-winded young man of 141 lbs. weight eau raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most carai,rdinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power. John Cienton Roberts, Rel., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosaet's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain l'ump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. tiaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull and Paddy in No. 1,183, and in N.. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, on the ether hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain. able character:—The Fountain Pump is the nest important improve ment in the art of raising water that bas appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement is the useful arts, in modern times. _ Tin Consummatisn Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out for p-ivate and public uses, at lifts below aid above 100 feet altitude, for iran, horse, and steam power; delivering from Italia pint per stroLe to 100 barrels of water per minute, aid rendering every fair trial et competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed at less coot than common pumps.

And this civil war has evidently attacked the cantonal sovereignty—that is to say, the fundamental basis of the Helvetic Confederation, and its situation in Europe. "In consequence of which, the Government of the King has conic to an understanding upon this subject with the Governments of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, alike interested, as well to respect themselves as to enforce respect of the mutual engagements con tracted between them and the Helvetic Confederation, and, in accord with the said Governments, the Go vernment of the King declares— " 1. That the cantonal sovereignty cannot he con sidered as really subsisting in those cantons occupied by the military of other cantons, and in the midst of the acts which accompany this occupation. "2. That it is only when the said cantons, restored to complete independence, shall be able freely to con stitute their own Governments, that the Confederation will be considered in a normal state and in conformity, with the treaties. "3. That the immediate return of the military forces in all the cantons to the peace establishment is the necessary guarantee of their mutual and general liberty. "4. That no change in the Federal Pact can be legitimately accomplished without the unanimous voice of all the cantons which compose the Confede ration. "In making this declaration, the Goverment of the King maintains the sacred rights of justice and the essential foundations of the Helvetic Confedera tion. It desires nothing in Switzerland but the internal repose of the Confederation, and the true and intimate union of all the cantons which compose it. It profoundly respects the dignity and independence of the Swiss, and has never wished to cause any impediment to the regular and constitutional develop ment of its institutions; but the sovereignty and independence of the cantons, by the terms of the Federal Pact, ought to be as sincerely and effectively respected in Switzerland as those of Switzerland herself in Europe. " The engagements of the Powers towards the Confederation, and those of the Confederation to wards the. Powers, are mutual, and founded upon the same treaties. If the former were not faithfully respected and maintained, the latter would inevitably be compromised and suspended ; and the Powers who have guaranteed to the Swiss the advantages which they enjoy would evidently be entitled to consult only their respective duties as members of the great European family, and the interests of their own countries. " The undersigned has the honour to offer to his Excellency the President of the Federal Diet the as surance of his high consideration. " LE COMTE DE BOIS-LE-COMTE." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

At the meeting from which this was adjourned 4,000 shares were polled, and the object of the pre sent meeting was to continue the voting so as to give effect to the resolutions under the Act the number of shares was short by 2,804. A long delay ensued, during which the polling went forward. The CUAIRMAN then said that it appeared they had present at the last meeting 4,665 shares, the holders of which all voted for the dissolution of the company, and that such dissolution :should be an act of bank ruptcy. lie would put similar questions to the gen tleman who were present. The Act required one third of the shares, issued to be represented at the meeting in order to take the company to the Court of Bankruptcy, and there had been polled 8,130 shares, being more than - sufficient under the Act. He now put it to every gentleman present to testify whether it was his intention to vote for the dissolution. The resolutions for dissolution and bankruptcy were then put to the meeting and carried unani mously. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and after some conversation with regard to the accounts, and a vote of thanks to Mr. White, the meeting separated. CL ARENCE RAILWAY. A special meeting of this company was held yes terday at the George and Vulture Tavern, Mr. H. Blanchard in the chair. The notice convening the meeting having been read, The CHAIRMAN briefly stated the business of the meeting. It was to consider the propriety of sanc tioning certain agreements entered into by the com mittee of management for the lease and sale of the line to the Leeds and Thirsk Railway Company. Also to sanction the reintroduction of a Bill suspended in the House of Lords last session. He then called on the solicitor to read - the drafts of the agreements to be submitted to the meeting. Mr. BELL then proceeded to read the heads of the documents, viz., to enable the committee of manage ment to accept the surrender of the lease of their line from the Stockton and Hartlepool Railway Company, dated the 22d of September, 1844, and to lease it to the Leeds and Thirsk Railway Company for 21 years at a net rental of 25,8001. per annum ; also an agree ment to sell the line and branches to the Leeds and Thirsk Company for 480,0001., made up in the follow ing items :-31,4811. on mortgage due to the Govern ment ; 34,4801. in Government loan shares ; 108,460/. first class shares ; 100,8901. second class shares ; upon all of which the same dividends are to be con tinued by the Leeds and Thirsk Company, as now paid by the Clarence Company ; the sum of 44,688/. 1 to be paid in cash; but as the Clarence Company only require' 15,0801. in cash to pay their debts, it is pro posed to lend the 29,6881. fbr seven years to the Leeds and Thirsk Company ; of the above slam 150,0001. is to be taken in 3,000 Leeds and Thirsk preference 50/. shares, and the remaining 10,0001. in the ordinary Leeds and Thirsk shares, making a total of 480 000/. Resolutions were then unanimously passed approv ing of the agreement, and authorising the committee of management to enter into such arrangements as may be deemed necessary, and to make the requisite applications to Parliament. In answer to questions, it was stated that the dividend on the old shares would by these arrange ments be increased from 1i per cent. to 3 per cent., and that the value to he received for each 1001. share would amount to about 661. It appeared that 600,000/. had been expended on the line and works, and that the gross revenue during the year 1847 amounted to 46,240/. It was also mentioned that the Leeds and Thirsk Company intended to lay out a great deal of money on the line in order to render it more productive. That whatever increase took place in the traffic it would be in favour of the old shares. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing separated. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY. An extraordinary meeting of this company was held yesterday at Liverpool, for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the directors at ,the last ordinary meeting, and for determining whether a contract for executing the works for the construction of that part of the line which commences at Waterloo and terminates at Southport should be entered into or not; Mr. W. Blundell in the chair. The SECRETARY having read the advertisement convening the meeting, Tne CHAIRMAN said their next business was to ascertain the number of assents and dissents from the Proposed construction of the line, and he would, there fore, call upon the shareholders present to hand them in to the secretary. This proceeding occupied the attention of the meet ing for a short time, and the numbers having teen counted over, it was announced that there were in favour of proceeding with the contract 161 sharehol ders, representing 7,249 shares, and five dissentients, representing 103 shares. - The CHAIRMAN then stated, that there being more than three •fifths of the entire shares of the company assenting to the proposed contract, the director had now power to go on with the railway. Mr. CROSiTHWAITE said, that having taken such a decided part at the last meeting of the company in opposition to the line being proceeded with at the present time, in consequence of the state of the money market and the general depression of trade, he was now anxious to say a few words in explanation of the course he then took. On that occasion he represented a considerable number of the shareholders, who did not think it prudent to go on with the line upon the grounds which he then stated. He had since had communication with them, and they had left the sub ject entirely in his hands. He (Mr. prossthwaite) had had reason to change his previous views, and now admitted that he believed those holders would rejoice with him that the works were to be at once proceeded with.—(Bear, hear.) Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing broke up. • RAILWAY BILLS in PARLIAMENT. BUSINESS DISPOSED OF DT EXAMINERS YESTERDAY.

Extract of a letter from the Vengeance, 84, Cap tain Lushington, dated Malta, Jan. 8 :—" We sail this afternoon with provisions for Sir William Parker's squadron at Palmas Bay, south-east of Sar dinia. The Porcupine arrived on the 3d from Gibraltar. We expect to return to Malta in about fifteen days from this. Nothing further hest ranspired about the lost Avenger, but some curiosity has been excited and hopes raised by a Maltese brig which passed the island of Galita on the night of the 2d inst., reporting having seen a light on the island." The Vernon, 50, Captain Fitzgerald, flag of Rear- Admiral Inglefield, Commander-in-Chief on the China and East India station, sailed from Manilla for Borneo and Singapore on the 4th of November.

Woonwtcn, JAN. `2s.—The Heels, steam-vessel, recently commanded by Captain Stunner, and paid off on her return te Sheerness from foreign service, has been brought up to Woolwich to-day to be re fitted and again made ready for sea. The Lightning steam vessel Master Commander Petley. was taken out of the basin yesterday, having had the injuries to her paddle boxes and bulwarks re paired,.and she is now as effective as if no collision had taken place between her and the Banshee. The Dee steam transport vessel, Master Commander Thomas Driver, has had her mast scraped to ascer tain the extent of the injury it sustained during the late fire, and it has been found that although the out side was considerably charred, the depth was not so great as anticipated from its appearance immediately after the fire, and both the mast and boom have been reported as still fit for service in this vessel. The crew of the Bramble, formerly in the survey ing service, and at present on board the Fisgard, 44 guns, flag-ship of Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., were paid off to-day at Wool wich. Twenty-five boys, shipwrights' apprentices, one caulker's apprer.tice, and seven blacksmitns' appren tices, were entered at Woolwich Dockyard to-day, the preference being given to boys who were best educated and received the schoolmaster's certificate of being the most diligent and attentive. Each boy was on entering placed under the charge of one of the workmen, selected according to seniority in the branch the apprentice was entered for, to learn him his trade, for which the instructor will receive 2s. per week. In cases where boys have parents in the same branch in the yard, they are placed under their charge. Seven of the men of the factory and five of the men of the dockyard establishment having been found on passing the gates to have pipes in their pockets, on Friday last, the Commodore has issued strict injunc tions against smoking in the yard ; and in order to prevent the possibility of such being the case, he has made known that any of the workmen found with pipes in their pockets when searched on leaving the yard will be dismissed.

OMNIBUS TRAFFIC IN NEW YORK AND LONDON. — An American correspondent says, " Do the people of New York, or the dwellers upon Broadway themselves, know or imagine the amount of travel carried on by those heavy carriages? I suspect not. On the 20th day of October I had a count made of all the omnibuses and their passengers that passed the corner of Cham bers-street, for ten hours—say from 7 to 5 P.M. During that time 1,420 omnibuses, conveying 10,928 persons, passed; being an average of one in 254 seconds, if regularly distanced from each other. I compute that by estimating for the five hours not counted, and for the changes of passengers during the route of each coach, a very moderate increase, no less than 18,000 persons must have ridden in the omnibuses traversing Broadway in whole or part above the Astor House." We are told that the average number of omnibuses passing the Adelphi Theatre in the strand during the day is 2,250. —Builder.
