From this point it proceeded slowly, spreadi ng great terror, until it reached the northern entrance t o Clement's-inn, which is protected by . two upright bars to prevent the ingressof loads, Sze.; havinginserted its head between the bars it forced its body through, completely bending one of the bars, and passed through the first and second squares of th e i nn wi thout meeting any obstruc tion. In the third square, or the first from the Principal entrance, it encountered an aged laundress, named Smith, whom it run at and tossed. On being lifted up the unfortunate woman was found to have some dreadful in juries on the forehead, and she was at once rumoved to . King's College Hospital. Fro m Cl emen t' s -i nn t h e infu riated beast proceeded into the Strand, through Temple. bar, Fleet-street, and Ludgate-hill, with a very quiet de meanour. In St. Paul's Churchyard it overturned an empty truck, and made several attempts on those pass ing. Turning into Aldersgate-street an attempt was made to stop its pr ogress by some Irish p av i ours re pairing the street in that locality, but it put on a bold front and with great coolness advanced to the charg e , making its valiant opponents seek refuge behind the piles of atones at which they were labouring. H av i ng tossed a lad a little further on without seriously injuring him, the enraged animal was eventually secured i n Charter-house-square, and having been placed in a beast-cart was conveyed to Bear-yard, where it was at once killed. On inquiry at King's College Hospital, it was ascertained that the two youngest children were but slightly injured, but that the injuries on the face and head of the girl Phillips were of so very serious a de scription as to warrant her being keptin the institution. The wound on the head of the old woman was of a f r i g hhtful kind, the scalp being laid bare for several inches from the top of the head to the eyebrows, and her system had been so completely., shook that, from her great age, nearly 70 years, it is feared she will not re cover; her wounds, however, having been dressed, she m pers ted in being removed to her residence in Milford lane.

Primrose-bill is nearly encircled by houses, and St. John's , wood appears as if it would soon b e joined to the West-end, and we may safely .anticipate that in a few years the village of Willesden will be included within the limits of the metropolis. The low fares by the omnibuses which run from the City, by Holborn and Ox ford-street, to Kilburn, and the establishment of a station on the London and N or th-Western Railway at this village, with the facilities now afforded of reaching it by railway from the City, has caused a great demand for a superior class of residences, to meet which the freeholders of the Kilburn park estate have devoted fifty acres of land for building purposes, and will immediately commence making the ne cessary roads and sewers. r A DVE RTISEMEN T. —THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH Vila HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—An ar;tounding cure by this miraculous medicine, arter every other means had failed.

THE GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A meeting of a few of the most influential of the shareholders in this company was held at Glasgow on TuePday, Air. A n d re w ' Ore in the chair. The CHAIRM AN s a id, t h e directors had thoug h t i. proper, in th e p resent position of the affairs of the company, to ask a f ew o f the most influential o f t h e shareholders to meet them for the pirrpose of consider ing certain matters which peculiarly affect their in terest. The present directio n came into office when their line was incomplete, and it was the wish of the shareholders that exertions should be made for the purpose of continuing the formation of their line on ward to the south. This effected it became neces sary to make further arrangements for the securing of the southern traffic. Fir s t, t h ey had to deal with the Caledonian Comp an y, w i t h the view of obtaining the use of nine miles o f th e i r line between Gretna and Carlisle. This was accomplished with considerable difficulty, because immediately upon effecting a pas sage along this portion of their way, they became a rival line to the Caledonian Compa n y. After many negotiations, however, th ey succeeded in overcoming the most determined ho s tili ty of that company. After this they had to appl y to the Lancaster and Carlisle Company for admis s i on to their station, where it was necessary to have acc ommodation for the goods and engines, and the other machinery of the com pany. The other company wi t h which they had to deal was the London and N ort h -Western, and by that company, as well as the Lancaster and Carlisle, they were spoken to civilly ; this lies ir particularly to the London and NorttieWesten Company. The standing, and have how been of two years' and notwithstanding the larg e which they had been sending f orward to the English lines, the fact of the matter Was quantity of goods they had be e n get ting nothing down from them i n return. When or tdheers line, undoubtedly buehendosuehnttesdply they ecially asking goo d s to come by have not come by any other, but beyond this all the fair promises which they received have resulted in empty words. All those companies were connected with each other to a certain extent, and it is only fair that this company should seek to exercise what power it might possess to get away from a connexion in which it has hitherto Caledonian,play. and the Edin rwehc which h v e p d r e a s n e y h t t h s i ni itself e b l fu is t t f h a e i r The first matter Edin burgh and Glasgow Company going to Parliament for the purpose of effecting an a malgamation. Now, this accomplished, the Caledonian Company, strong at present, will have become greatly more so, and it is the opinion of the directors that they should oppose the amalgamation of those companies till the Caledonian Company concede to them something like fair play over the nine miles to which he had re ferred. Last year they were approached by an Eng lish company, who asked them to join them in a scheme to connect themselves with the Great Northern system, which comes down as far le as aeipon, and to join them in the formation of a line thence to Gretna, by the way of Corby. By this route they would have afforded, by means of the projected line, to be called the Great Northern and Sc o t t i s h Irish Union, and their own, direct communication from London to Glasgow. The directors are unanimous in the opi nion that it would be wrong any longer to lie under those difficulties. The directors had made up their minds to give every encouragement to the promoters of the proposed line. It was estimated that the ex pense for thus effecting a direct communication be tween Glasgow and London would amount to 1,500,0001., and they propose that this company should take stock to the amount cf 2 00,0001. Some were of opinion that it would be better for the com pany to make the line from Gretna to Corby, by which means they would not only have a direct com munication, but the control of that portion of the way the same as the Caledonian have cf that part of the line from Gretna to Carlisle. A SHAREHOLDER,—How many miles of railway require to be formed between Corby and Gretna? The CHAIRMAN—About twelve miles. Mr. WEBB said that at present there was only one main line of railway between London and Glasgow, and the effect of which was that the line in Scotland with which the London and Northern was in alli ance, takes, in truth, the great mass of the Glasgow traffic to the prejudice of the Glasgow and South- Western Company. Taking a straight line from Leeds to Lancaster, they had three direct li n es—th e London and North-Western, the Great Northern, and the Midland to Leeds. Now, if Yorkshire was entitled to three distinct lines, surely the important city of Glasgow was entitled to more than one. When the Great Northern was proposed there was also another line before Parliament—the Northern Counties Union ; for it was not intended that the Great Northern should be merely a line from London l to York, but en indep en d ent line i n connex ion with the Northern Counties f rom L ondon to Gl asgo w. Par liament looked upon tha Northern Counties s cheme as one for connecting throu g h Y orkshire the o th e r lines to Carlisle, and with that li ne they wou ld have had a complete and indep en d ent commun i ca tion, be sides that of the London and between Glasgow and London. Great alliances have been frequently found powerful for the advancementaso of the interests of a company, but they have . been sa l ch brought into play for the purpose of dam ag N le o g rthern interests, and this was the case with the Counties. That scheme was besetNorth-Western, and, friends, and with the view of befriending it, the Lond.on. b North-Western Company took 3,000 sharest l3 r House u of 3 their interference in a committee in the sCommons, however well intended, a clause Nbyorth- the London and North - Western ComP an h in troduced which in effect swamped the Bill altogether. When the directors sought to have an amended b their agents in Parliament, fought, time after time, they ultimately succeeded in annihilating the _lslorthern Nor thern Counties as a company. Now, the share- Counties does not represent a small number of E. land, holders.

There was parnfries to embraced in the scheme, a line from t h e Scottish Portpatrick, for the purpose of securing e tween Great traffic and facilitating the intercourse between c arry out the only one Britain and Ireland. At present there line for that purpose, namely, that of the Kingstown Holyhead, from which latter place ° bil e the Port there is a sea voyage of 63 miles, 7, 1 miles.

Mr. A. MA•cEoRGE: said he was satisfied that their directors had given this su bj ect the greatest attention, that they had anticipated every difficulty, and that they had stated nothing which they had not previously considered, and which they were able to prove. He heartily concurred in their i mportant recommenda tions, and would simply move that " Th e meeting, having heard the explanations of the directors in regard to the present position and prospects of the company, cordially approve of the general line of policy which the directors propose to adopt."—(Cheers.) Mr. Loots cordially seconded the motion. Th e matter was of the highest importance to the Glasgow and South-Western Company, and the construction of the line between Gretna and Ripon could not fail materially to promote their interests. They should all feel heartily obliged to the directors for calli ng them together on such an important occasion. The motion was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, DONCASTER, AND GREAT NORTHERN DIRECT. A meeting was held at Nortnanton on Saturday to consider the desirability of establishing a direct line between Bradford, Wakefield, and the metropolis. The promoters of this line contemplate a considerable saving in distance between the West Riding of York shire and London. There were gentlemen present from the three principal towns intended to be bene fited by the proposed scheme—viz., Bradford, Leeds, and Wakefield. Letters had also been received by the solicitors to the line from noblemen possessing ex tensive property in the district through which the line is intended to run, expressing their concurrence in the scheme, and their intention of supporting it. Mr. R. Hudson was called to the chair. Mr. HUDSON said he did not know much about the proposed line himself, and be apprehended there were other gentlemen present who were in the same posi tion. He would, therefore, call upon some gentle man to explain to the meeting the benefits, the probable cost, and the line of country through which the railway would run. M r . WESTMORELAND, of Wakefield, one of the solicitors to the undertaking, said, before reading the report of the engineer he would state this much almost as a first principle. It was fully agreed on all hands that it was absolutely necessary that Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds should be put into as direct communication with the metropolis, through the Great Northern Railway, as practicable. Perhaps he might be suspected of having a strong feeling on be half of Wakefield, of which town he was an in habitant, which was perfectly put out of the direct route to London and the greatly populated towns in the neighbourhood. With regard to the Midland line, Oakenshaw was the nearest point for Wakefield people • and his hear ers could w ell u nder stand the innumerable objections that might be advanced against a railway which necessitated a debarcation at Oakenshaw both of luggage and passengers, and again at Wakefield. By the Great Northern route they had to seek the aid of the Lancashire and Yorkshire line and their Askern branch before they could get on the main line. To remedy these defects, it being highly desirable there should be a continuous and direct communication thern nailw close ay, upon Doncaster, and between Wakefield, Bra dford, and the metrop o lis , the present line had been p ro j e cted. This object woulda junction,or by continuing the line from W ake field forwards to wi b t e h attainedthe Great by N Bradford, with a branch to Leeds. He might add that Mr. J. Walker, their engineer, had on two oc casions been the engineer to the Great Northern Railway. The plans he submitted on the present occasion were identical with those that the Great Northern Company had laid before the Committee of the House of Commons, save and except the various emendations and improvements which time , and expe rience had pointed out, or which had been adopted to meet the changed features of the case. He held in his hand the report of the engineer on the project connected with the three towns. Mr. Westmorland then read the report of the engineer, from which it appeared that the distance between Bradford and Wakefield by this new line would be 13 miles 1 fur long, while the direct distance, as the crow flies, is only 12 miles 4fr furlongs, being only 43- furlongs longer than the straight line. The distance from Wakefield to the junction with the Great Northern at Doncaster would be 18 miles 6 furlongs, the direct distance b e i ng 17 m il es , 7 f ur l ongs , a nd 5 chains, making a diff erence i n f avour o f the present un dertaking o f only 6sl- furlongs.

The report concluded by call ing attention to the extensive coal fields which would be thus opened to the London and other markets. Mr. Westmorland continued his explanation by giving the routes the proposed lines would take ; stating that the project had been registered in June, since which time a piracy had been made of their scheme ; for this, however, he said, he did not care, as the superior ad vantages offered by the present line would sufficiently recommend it when once placed before the public ; and concluded by calling upon Mr. Walker to ex hibit the plans. The plans and sections of the undertaking were then shown, and various portions of them commented upon. This occupied some time. Afterwards the fol lowing resolution was unanimously agreed to : " That this meeting having considered the plans of the Bradford, Wakefield, Doncaster, and Great Northern Direct Railway, with branch to Leeds, are convinced that the project submitted is better calculated than any other yet laid before the public, to secure a direct com munication between Bradford, Leeds, Wakefield, and the metropolis, while at the same time it more fully do. velopes the most extensive coal fields of the West Riding. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then awarded, and the proceedings terminated.

We have peculiar pride and pleasure in announcing this officer's promotion, for we claim the credit of bringing his name before the Admi ralty on several occasions, with advantage to himself and credit to the service, although we have not the honour of his acquaintance. This gallant officer h as been very much neglected, and we must impute to O'l3yrne's excellent biography the almost unpardonable fault of slurring over one of the most daring, dashing, and desperate achievements by Lieutenant De Courcy, that has been performed since the peace; and which in the height of the war would have secured for him an earlier, if not a higher reward than he has reaped from modern Admiralty boards, who daily seek ex cuses for the advancement of their friends and rela tions. Captain Michael De Courcy is the eldest son of the late Captain De Conroy, R.N., K.T.S., grandson of the late Admiral of the Blue the Honour able Michael De Courcy, and cousin of the present Lord ,Eiwp aoir2:B"°°l2e. He passed his Kinsale. He entered the navy in 1824, passed his ex amination in 1830, and served eight years as mate, be fore he gained his Lieutenant's rank.. He then served in the Racer, and on the 4th of March, 1841, was ap pointed to the command of the Charybdis, 3, brigantine, on the West India station; from which ship, says O'B)riae, "he was promoted to his present rank for his extraordinary gallantry at the capture of the earths , genian squadron when protecting the British interests in South America." When we read the almost tedious de tails which are appended to certain officers' acts of gal lantry (Sir C. Napier's, for instance), given with all the exciting particulars of the odds on the part of the enemy, and the numbers of killed and wounded on both sides, we feel annoyed at the manner in which Captain De Courcy's vindication of the honour ef the British flag is sum marised; and, in justice to those who have promoted him, we must briefly state the facts from memory. The " Carthagenian squadron" was composed of six armed vessels, under the command of a Commodore Brown, we believe, each being equal in force to the Charybdis. The British man-of-war was detached to protect British interests during the internecine squabbles among the republics, and was entering the port of Carthagena where Commodore Brown's squadron was at anchor, when the commodore opened a fire upon the Cha rybdis, and, if we remember rightly, killed one of her crew. Upon this the gallant lieutenant-commander, notwithstanding the powerful odds that were against him, immediately beat to quarters, and fell to work pell-mell on the whole squadron, nor did he cease firing until he sunk the commodore's own ship, the commo dore himself being among the killed. and the rest of the enemy had struck their flags. Do Couroy then landed and took possession of the town or city, and received ample atonement for the indignity the British flag had received. It is true the gallant commander of sixty officers, men, and boys was promoted by Lord Had dington immediately ; but he was allowed to k ick abouc "marble halls " far a couple of years, and then to fall back upon the coast guard service for four rare, when th e Esrl of Auckland rescued this gallant officer from obscurity, and appointed him to the command of the Helena, 12, which ship ho paid off a few months since from the West Indies, in a manner most creditable to himself and all on board, for she was reported as the most efficient, the most healthy, and the most comforta ble sbip from the station. The just and graceful thing would have been to have p romoted Captain de Courcy when he had serv e d his twel vemonth ; but it was re served for the Duke of No rthumberland to recognise the great claims of his b ro ther officer, and to place him in that rank which he earned in 1842.—Herald.

Desirous of aiding the stupendous emigration movement to the Australian colonies, and of assisting those who do not come within the description of persons selected by the Emigration Commissioners, as also of presenting to the.benevolently disposed an obvious means of helping their dependents or others to a free passage to a country which is inviting the unemployed labour of all the world to its im mense and gold-teeming regions, thi% Society has adopted a plan altogether unexceptionable in principle and truly philanthropic in its objects, namely, the appropriation of a portion of its subscribed capital to the increasing of the supply of labour in the Australian colonies, by the transmission of a large number of emigrants, while the other portion is invested in a richly auriferous mining property, and the necessary machinery and labour for working il. To carry out the former of these objects, A WEEKLY PUBLIC BALLOT will take place in London and other principal towns of the United Kingdom, until there shall have been selected 4,000 FREE PASSAGES TO AUSTRALIA; the Certificate for the original Share of I/. is. being exchanged, im mediately after the Ballot, for an Order for the passage in a first class vessel. The whole of the Shares subscribed for will, from time to time, be publicly put into the ballot-box, and the Ballot will take place under the immediate supervision and direction of the Trustees, due publicity being previously given of each Ballot in the public news papers. Owners of Free Passage Orders will also be at liberty to sell or transfer them to any other person ; but the name and address of the party to whom they may have been transferred, must be for warded for approval to the Company's Offices"flve days prior to the departure of the vessel in which the intending emigrant may be de sirous of taking his or her passage. Two Children under twelve years of age will be equal to one adult. A list of Vessels about to sail will be ready for distribution pre vious to each Ballot. Those who do not draw a Free Passage Order at the Ballot will retain their original Share or Shares in the Mining property and adventures of the Society without further liability. 4,000 SEIAREIIOLDERS WILL HAVE A BONUS OF 80,0000.

THE HUNTER MVER GOLD MINING GitOU ND, FORMING PART OF THE SEGENHOE ESTATE, is situated 150 miles north of Sydney, near Maitland, New -outh Wales, a mineral lease of which property, c , nsisting of 2,000 acres, has been secured by the Trustees of this Fund. This estate was granted by the Crown, and has been in possession of the original proprietors for thirty years, and is pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an eminent geologist, to be a mass of mineral wealth, which subsequent investigations have entirely confirmed. The lease is for twenty-one years, with power of renewal for a similar period ; and the titles, maps, and other documents may be inspected at the Company's Offices. The following passage occurs in a pamphlet on '° Australia and her Treasures," published by Effingham Wilson, the materials of which were supplied by Captain Westmacott, M.R.G.S. and F.G.S., whose intimate knowledge of the country and its resources is universally appreciated :—" The quartz found under Mount Royal, and the flanks that run into the Segenhoe estate (now the property of this Society) are all of a crystallized compact transition strata. This may be considered the commencement of the gold country, as the detritus of these rocks forms the auriferous alluvial deposits of the lower stratum. Immense districts lie be tween these ravines, entirely destitute of water, * and in the beds and branches of all is gold deposited, which has been continuously washed down from the mountains and rocks for centuries, and in the overflowing distributing itself in the land and soil in all direc tions. It is not, however, in gold alone that the inexhaustible trea sures consist—rubies, garnets, and topazes, have already rewarded the labours of the miner, and that the diamond will be added in great numbers to the golden garner, is expressed with confidence by some of the most scientific persons." This Company has also entered into a Contract for the purchase of a Patent Invention, applicable to the reduction of quarts and other minerals, and the extraction therefrom of every particle of metal contained in themaffecting a saving of at least 50 per cent. over every other process now in use. This extraordinary discovery will bring about a new era in the extraction of gold from quartz, inasmuch as will render unnecessary what has hitherto been the greatest drawback to the success of other companies, viz., an enor mous outlay of capital for expensive machinery, and office's and men to work the same, as also great delay in putting it into operation ; whereas, the apparatus now about to be introdined, does not cost snore than 2501. each, having the advantages of being small, compact, easily transferable to its destination, and being ready for immediate use, and each apparatus being capable of reducing and extracting the gold from the enormous quantity of sixty tons of quartz per day. All applications for Shares must be addressed to the Trustees at the Offices. and must he accompanied by a remittance of One Pound One Shilling by Post-office Order,/ payable to the Right Honourable Lord Erskine, on receipt of which the necessary, Shares will be duly transmitted to the Subscribers. 35, Throgmorton-street, London, 3d September, 1852.
