BLEAK HOUSE. No. VII. By Charles Dickens. Several new characters are introduced in the new number of Bleak House—many of them decided " originals." As intimate associates of our old friend Mr. Guppy, precedence must, of course, bs given to young Smallweed, sometimes called Chick Weed, "as it were jocularly to express a fledgling," and some t mss (metaphorically) Small, but on his own hearth Bart, from his Christian name Bartholomew— ; and Mr. Jobling, owner of some very fashionable whiskers, which latter gentleman, by the way, be comes the successor of poor Nemo in the occupancy of the room at Krook's, the Lord Chancellor's. An en tertainment given by Mr. Guppy to these associates is the source of much amusement. It takes place at an eatiug-house w here Small, or Chick as we may call him at pleasure, reveals his " elfin power " in " knowing all about it, whatever it is "—giving "an unearthly cock of his venerable eye" when ordering the repast from the " bouncing young female of forty " who acts as waitress. The effect of the banquet upon Mr. Jobling is described with delight ful humour—that personage not consenting to con fess that he is a man again "in consequence of the nutriment administered to him in his apparent state of inanition, until the dinner has very nearly reached its conclusion. He acknowledges himself to be "just horn" after the first plateful, to be rapidly " growing up" during the consumption of the second, to be " in his teens" when the marrow puddings are about to be introduced, to be " coining of age" on the ap proach of the three Cheshires, and to have arrived at maturity while the glasses of rum are in preparation. William Guppy with his blighted affections, Tony Jobling with his manly whiskers and his bat with a rim peculiarly glistening, " as if it had been a favou rite snail-promenade," and Bartholomew Smallweed, whose father is reported to have been John Doe and his mother the only female member of the family of Richard Roe (venerable names recently erased from among the number of our legal fictions by order of the Imperial Legislature)—promise to aid very amusingly, though in a subordinate capacity, in the development of the plot of the narrative. The last chapter in the number just issued, tends very materiallytto aid in the unra velment of that same plot—already, it must be con fessed, sufficiently intricate and mysterious. But before this chapter is reached we are introduced, by another, to the family of the Smallweeds—Judy, the sister of Bart, together with the grandfather and grandmother of those interesting orphans—the grand mother in her dotage, and the grandfather (by reason of his rascally tales of usury) decidedly in what Mr. Rogers once:facetiously termed his " twee. dotage." Employed as the busy charwoman of the Smallweeds, we meet once more with dear little Charley. And here again we are introduced to another new cha racter, in the person of Mr. George, a visitor, or rather an apparent victim of the old money. lending Grandfather Smallweed. Mr. George, who promises to improve upon acquaintance, turns out to be the proprietor of "George's Shooting Gallery," near the Haymarket, where a queer little fellow named Phil acts as his factotum. It may be objected, in reference to the family of the Smallweeds, by the more captious, that the manner in which the cushion is hurled at the grandmother by the grandfather is, to say the least of it, somewhat preposterous. But, at any rate, if an extravagance, it is at least one in the highest degree ludicrous, and therefore, we sub mit, pardonable —reducing the assailant, upon each occasion, to the necessity of being shaken up again, like a great black draught. The twenty-second chapter cf Bleak House, already alluded to as likely to prove one of some importance, by tending to clear up the mysteries of the fiction, has reference to Tom All-alone's and to the dwelling house of Mr. Tulkinghorn. A detective offi cer—Mr. Bucket—sketched to " the very life," by one who knows the organization of the London Police Force, better, perhaps, than any other Londoner—conducts Mr.:Snagsby to Tom All-alone's to identify Jo, and thence conducts Jo to Mr. Tulk inghorn's to identify the female whom he had guided to the home and the grave of Nemo. The manner in which all of this is brought about is wonderfully natural, and yet, at the same time, also, marvellously romantic. The closing scene in the sitting-room in Lincoln's Inn-fields, where the veiled female is dis ccvered in solitude, standing in the middle of the apartment, surrounded by a bright light, to the won dering gaze of Jo and his companions, is in some scarcely accountable way singularly striking and effec tive. Every thing appears to indicate that the lady who hired Jo to point out Krook's and the city graveyard, was, in truth, as must before now have been conjec tured by the reflective, no other than Lady Led lock, disguised in the clothes of her waiting-maid, Mademoiselle Hortense. The said Mademoiselle— now dismissed from further attendance at Chesney Wold—is the spectral personage who personates her former mistress in her own apparel to the bewilder ment of the poor crossing-sweeper. Two problems in the story we want solved—firstly, Can Nemo have been the Captain Rawdon, to whom Mr. George, above-mentioned, acted formerly as a military at tendant ? And, secondly—and this is now more than ever a matter of curiosity to us—What was Mademo seille Hortense about when she walked through the wet grilse in her stockings ? Best of all the descrip tions contained in the present number, which, in many respects, is about the most admirable instalment of Bleak House yet published, is that of the squalid po pulation of Tom All-alone's, among whom we en counter once more, poor Jenny, the bricklayer's wife, and her companions.

It is simple and unassuming, and while 11— t does not aspire to any rema rk a bl e attainments, it may fairly lay claim to more than ordinary attention. Its merit consists in simplicity, the thoughts, are n a t ura ll y expressed, and the ideas are . good. or a fir s t e ff ort it is very satisfactory , and it to be expected that the author, after more experience and culti vat i on, w ill produce something superior. The following i s one of the short poems :-- THE TWO PATHS. There is a path that leads through life, Straight onward as we go, O'er which thick boughs of care and strife Deceitful shadows throw. It seems a pleasant path to all First entering on the way, That brings us quickly to the fall Of our short earth- born day. There is another path that leads Through lite, and many dread To enter there, for be who feeds Upon the precious bread That there is formed will surely meet The world's contemptuous smile, Yet wisdom with her shining feet Lights up this path the while. It is the path the strong must choose, It ill befits the weak; It is the path that fools refuse— That wise men gladly seek. And they who walk therein confess, As hope and joy increase, That ail its ways are pleasantness And all its paths are peace. PROJECTILE WEAPONS OF WAR AND EXPLOSIVE COMPOUNDS. By hn Scoffern, M. 8., F.S.A. Cooke and Whitley. This is a republication of a work which appeared in 1845, to which is now added a full description of the newly-invented rifles. Mr. Scoffern commences with the history of the long and cross-bow of our an cestors—he explains the construction of the congreve and other rockets, giving tables of the different range of the various weapons now in use. THE SUN, LONDON, ; A NEW GAZETTEER OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS, iv. We have received the seventh and eighth parts of Sharp's New British Gazetteer, a work which, in its complete two•volume form, has elicited the marked cornme , ndation of several of our contemporaries. This gazstten. is compiled with exceeding care and exact ness ; the print is clear and legible, the arrangement distinct, the condensation masterly, and in accuracy and fulness of statistical information it cannot possibly be surpassed. Not merely do we find in its pages concise descriptions of some sixty thousand places and objects of note, together with full particulars of the boundaries, registered electors, &c., of the Par liamentary boroughs, and accurate references to the sheets of the Ordnance surveys, but a most u3eful appendix is subjoined, containing a general view of the resources of the United Kingdom, a short chronology of events connected with history, &c., and an abstract of the results of the late census of 1851. As a lucid and well-arranged compilation of information that comes home to every one, we can cordially add our recommendation to the praises already bestowed upon Mr. Sharp's British Gazetteer. It comprehends not merely the topography, but likewise the hydrography of the British Isles. PHILIP'S .EMiGBANI"S GUIDE TO AUSTRALIA. A short sensible pocket volume, well worth reading by those who have an eye on the Australian diggings. It is illustrated with a capital map of the gold fields of Australia, taking in all the south-eastern portion of the Antartic continent from Port Philip to five degrees north of Sydney, and comprising all the recent discoveries made in the auriferous districts, by Hargraves, Hunter, Clark, &c. MARTIN BECK. By A. Harris. Routledge. This is a number of the " Railway Library," which contains so many well-known and useful works, at a moderate price. The present volume is the story of an Australian settler and his family. THE BOOKCASL.-1. ACiiOSS the ROCKY MOUNTAINS. By William Kelly. Simmons and 111•Intyre. An entertaining book of travels from New York to California, with a visit to the celebrated Mormon colony at the Great Salt Lake. It is written in a lively style, and possesses the attraction of variety. RECOLLECTIONS of MILITARY SERVICE. .Sy Thomas Morris. Effingham Wilson. This is the fourth edition of this little work, which is its best recommendation. It includes the eventful years of 1813-14 and 15, and the countries of Ger many, Holland, Belgium, and France, and comprises some details of Quatre Bras and 'Waterloo. THE POPULAR EDUCATOR. Part V. John Cassell. Replete with sound and copious information in Geology, Botany, Architecture, and various useful branches of practical learning, it is a valuable, and should be a popular, production. THE WORKING-MAN'S FRIEND. Part Xl. One of John Cassell's clever and entertaining com pilations. THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR. A Magazine of Art. Part Viii. John Cassell. To say nothing of the text, the illustrations are so admirably executed as to render this magazine a phenomenon of cheapness. Conspicuous among those in the present part are " A Prairie on Fire" and the " Bear Chase in the Alps in Feudal Times." THE BIOGRAPHICAL MAGAZINE. The ninth number of this well got-up periodical, edited by Passmore Edwards, is devoted to the biographies of Goldsmith, Reece, Pemberton, and Neander. Mary Howitt. THE DIAL OF LOVE. B y The little work, coming out in parts under this title, is excellently suited for the delectation and in struction of children of either sex, of every rank and disposition. WONDERFUL ?RINGS. Tbis little weekly periodical, which is to be com pleted in twenty-four twopenny parts, has already run a third of its career. Its accurate and interesting descriptions of the most remarkable wonders of the ancient and modern world render it a very enter taining and eligible acquisition. CREMORNE GARDENS. An absurd rumour was flying about town this morning that the Italian Brothers had met with a fatal accident in their balloon ascent last evening, the fact being that they returned safe and sound to the gardens before eleven o'clock, after landing at Ealing. The experiment made with the parachute, in which Madame Poitevin is to make her descent on Monday next, was most satisfactory. It was attached to the balloon laden with a weight exceeding that of the fair aeronaut by twenty-sight pounds, and, being let go at a considerable elevation, descended gently at Acton. Mr. Simpson was resolved to make this precautionary trial for his own satisfaction and that of Madame Poitevin, and we commend him for neglecting no measure to ensure the perfect safety of his adventu rous employes. There are many feats, truly marvel lous to behold, nightly enacted at Cremorne Gardens, but we never entertain the slightest apprehension o f a failure on the score of either skill or security, under the vigilant eye of the present spirited and justly-popular proprietor. THE ARCH2EOLOGICAL INSTITUTE. NEWCASTLE ON- TYNE, NyEDNESDAY,—Yesterday the Section of AD 0(11116MS met in the theatre of the Philo sophical Society, Lord Talbot de Malahide in the chair. Papers were read by Mr. Yates, F.R S., on the Limes Transrbenanus of the Roman Empire, the great boundary barrier joining the Rhine and the Danube; by the Rev.

The man who cannot shave without hot water, or pull off his bcot without a bootjack; the man who cannot get up without a glass of pale ale in the morning, or go to bed without a " bashawed lobster" or devilled bones; the man who has never carried anything heavier than his cane, or cut anything stronger than his beard; the man whose only sowing has been limited to his wild oats, and his only reaping to Eisenberg cutting twice a year his corns; the man who has never handled any other Lill but a tailor's, and only knows what a spade is by seeing it in a pack of cards; the man whose only knowledge of " hedging" has been derived from the racecourse, and of " harrowing" from a Victoria melodrama; the man who only cares for a horse as something to bet upon, and looks upon sheep as " creatures from the country that are fleeced at "carte; the man who imagines a bull walks on two legs like those he has seen on the Stock-Exchange, and whose skill in shooting has been restricted to a few shots at the moon; the man who merely knows a bank and a rake from what he has seen at a rouge-et-noir table, the man whose footing in society has always been upon the very best polished-leather boots, and whose longest walk in life has been through the Insolvent Debtors' Court; the man who has never known what it is to earn a dinner, or to enjoy one without French wines; the man who would think himself de graded if he was seen carrying a parcel :—such a man of all others ought not to emigrate. Better far for him to lounge and 101 l on sofas, and lisp, and smoke, and yawn, in a country that can appreciate him, doing no harder work than digging occasionally in the morn ing papers, or in the gold districts of his mother's pocket, than to carry those same qualities to a distant land where they would only be thrown sway, like early purl before Quakers. Such a man, we repeat it, ought to be the very last in England to emigrate I—Punch. PAVILION GARDENS, NORTH WOOLWICH.- - These extensive and delightful gardens, which have only been opened during the present season, presented, on Tuesday evening last, a very animated and picturesque appearance, owing to the ascent of the celebranted Henry Coxwell, in hi s balloon Sylph. On the previous Monday, when Mr. Cox well made his first ascent from the Pavilion, there were at least 8,000 persons present, and on Tuesday about 5,000 as sembled. Mr. Coxwell rose in company with two others, and the Sylph travelled nearly due east, but on descending into a lower current, was wafted towards Brentwood, where a beautiful descent was made on the estate of Lord Peters. A. dinner party at the Hall, among whom was his Excel lency Cardinal Wiseman, witnessed the descent. The old well from which liolywell-street takes its name has lately been examined, and cleared of the rubbish with which it has long been filled. It is on the premises of a public-house in. Holywell-street. The well is of great depth, and the walls are in good condition. The springs have not been reached, but they are in action in the neigh bourhood, as the old Roman baths and t he well in Strand lane are still supplied from them.— Gentleman's Magazine. RE-OPENING A PORTION OF PICCADILLY. —A. por tion of this important thoroughfare from Hyde-park-corner to Half-moon-street, which has underdone a thorough re pair, was thrown open for public traffic yesterday. Great exertions have been made to lessen as much as possible the hill opposite Devonshire House, which is now being paved with substantial blocks of granite stone, so as to prevent the dangers experienced by omnibuses and other vehicles tra versing this line of road. The distance from Clarges-street to Berkeley-street is also being paved with the same kind of stone, and it is expected to be completed in two or three days, when the whole of this important omnibus route from Brompton to the City will be thrown open for public traffic. uyinorlionia.—A letter from the Hague an nounces that two cases of hydrophobia have been cured there by the employment of sulphate of quinine, combined with opium.

SIR,—I cannot say that I consider the handicap for either of these great autumnal stakes as good ; but being constructed rather better than the average, I sup pose they must he allowed to pass muster. It is not My intention to-day to attempt the selection of a winner, but merely to point out those horses who are well or badly handicapped. In the Ces:rewi:ch list, Voltigeur, at Bst, if he were in his old foim, which he is not, would be fairly weighted; half a stone less, as t h e Cate is, would scarcely give him a chance. Newmin s t er an d W oolwich, I believe, do not accept. Kingston, at B st 4 1 h, is evidently overdosed ; and Daniel O'Rourk e , at Bst 11b, is much in the same predicament. Stock we ll, S t i lton, and Songstress, are quite out of the fray a t 7 st 131 b. Cardinal Wiseman has 101 b too much t o curry, and Joe Miller's chance, at 7st 101 b, is rather an i nter i or one. Windischgratz, at 7st 91b, if in respectable condition, is weighed very I fairly. 'Terpsichore will never do at 7st 61b ; nor will the Indian Warrior at 7st 51b. blelford is not over burthencd at ist 4lb ; neither is Le Juif at 6st 131 b. Candlewick, at 6st 91), will probably be a moderate fa vourite, being very well in. Kingfisher is well enough in at 6st 51b to be Scott's horse on the day. Redmond O'Hanlon, Est 41b, will, probably, re present the Marquis of Waterford' s interests. Phlegra, Est 41b, 1 1 in her last year's form, is very dangerous. The crack Scarecrow is very fairly weighted at Est 41b, and if his trial in July was correct ought to continue a great favourite for this stake. Phlegethon is let loose ut 6st 2lb; Hyaci n th i s beauti fully handicapped, E s t 21b b e i ng a weight that I think she could win w ith if put to i t. Paddy Bird, Waverley, Ilex, Bonita, Pan, Waterfall, Cleveland, Dangerous, Babette, Bit of Blue, Pancake, and Fledgling are all favourably treated by the " pow ers t h at be. " In the Cambridgeshire the weights range very widely —from 9st 31b down to 4st 131 b, a matter of 60 pounds. Teddington, Mountain Deer, Newrninster and Turnus have more weight allotted to them than they can conve niently carry. Glauca at Bst 31b, and Ariosto at Bst 21b, are treated much better than the foregoing. Hobble Noble, who has been backed for a good bit of money, to my thinking has some five or six pounds too much. The same remark will apply to Stockwell. Hagley, if he has any of his old speed left, at Tat 91b ought to run forward, but I believe he has been tr a i n i ng off lately. Frantic, I think, has a pound or t wo too much at 7st 81b, but it is a nice point to determine on. Grief at 7st 61b over this course is comfortably in. The same observation will appl y to Melford at 7st 21b. Gladiola is treated anything but badly at Est 91b. Lancaster in probably b e the Mar quis's horse, being capitally nat Est 61b. Ki ng Pepin is fairly weighted at Est 61b. as is Evadne at 6st 51b—the latter is very dangerous-looking customer. Azsel at Est 21b will take a vast deal of b ea ting; as will Plot at sst Largestcpa i p a of the non in 91b. Paddy Bird, Puritan, and All re d the Great—the first-named at 6st, and,the other t wo at s st 121b —are by no means over-dosed with we i g ht. two, T h iesalmost ce Cambridgeshire, rtain being proportion to the entri es , co nsequent l y will be the greatest betting race of th e t wo . As soon as the accept ances are declared, I s h all make have to rhoe e best ilactie a point of entering at f u ll l eng th into an analysis of both stakes, and attempt the very difficult art of selecting the winner of each.—l'am, &c.

The arrangement with the two companies named. was reduced to writing in a memorandum of agreement of September, 1851, and was to the effect thatat" the 3d ar rangements should commence and take effect from the the Ist Jan., 1852, for the term of 19 years; that the two compa nies should pay this company an annual sum equal to 21. 10s. per cent. upon their called up capital, amounting to °a 421,3001., and should also pay the interest on the ' tal of the canal, not exceeding 110 , 0 004 The A P c l , 1. u which received the Royal assent on the 17th of t last, authorizes this company, and the London u ati n d e North-Western and Midland Companies to enter into agreements for leasing, and to lease, thiscompany's l ine of railway and canal to the two companies for any term not exceeding 99 years. The London and North- Western and Midland Companies have passed resolutions accepting jointly a lease of the railway and canal upon the terms of the memorandum of agreement of the 3d of September, 1851." The capital account showed that 522,0211. had been received, and 429,4071. expended, leaving a balance of 92,6131. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was adopted. The meeting was then made special to consider the proposition of lease referred to in the report. Mr. Parsons (of London) and Mr. Preston dissented from the agreement; the former, because the period was not 99 instead of 19 years; the latter, because he dis sented from the 2f per cent., and considered better terms ought to have been made. The CHAIRMAN, on the contrary, speaking as an independent shareholder, contended that the period of 19 years was more advantageous to them, inasmuch as the Act gave them powers to renew a lease at the expiration of that time, when they might be in a po sition to make better terms. Mr. PARSONS complained that the great companies would shut up the avenue to Manchester by this route, and, being himself a considerable shareholder, he was of opinion that the agreement for 99 years would be far better. Mr. CHAPPELL (one of the directors of this as well as the London and North-Western Company) would have been glad to have accepted the 99 years, speak ing for the large company, and he agreed with the chairman that the present agreement was by far more beneficial for the Matlock proprietors. Mr. PARSONS still argued in support of his own view. Mr. PRESTON moved as an amendment, that the meeting do adjourn, in order that the directors might have an opportunity of making better terms. The CHAIRMAN said that the proposition must either be affirmed or negatived. Mr. PARSONS then complained of the arrangement made with the other companies with reference to the dividend not being receivable for the last half-year. Explanations were given by the directors, which led Mr. Parsons to say that the statements made, especially one by Mr. Tootal, the deputy-chairman, threw a new light upon the matter. He, however, begged to reiterate his objection to the 19 years' lease in preference to the 99, and would vote against the confirmation of the agreement. The resolution was then put, and only two hands were held up against it. Jane showedAN D. MIDLANDThe capital G accountß EA T t WESTERN that 1,827,0811. bad been received, including 500,000/.

The revenue account for the half - year ending the 30th of June showed that 3 9, 0941 . had been received on the railway, and 8,355/. rents and tolls on the Royal Canal, making together 47,4501. E th S e TE 3 R Ot N h oOfEIRELAND. L The expenses on the railway amounted to 16,2931, and on the canal to 1,7311, together 18,02.4/., leaving a balance of 29,425/. The receipts on the extension from Athlone to Galway amounted to 9,8551., and the expenses to 6,175/., leaving 3,6801. to be carried to the credit of the baronies in the counties of Roscommon and Galway, per auditor's certificate. These baronies having guaranteed the interest on the Government loan will have to supply the deficiency.

The length of line from Dublin to Ath lone is '77 miles, and from Athlone to Galway 49 miles; total, 126 miles. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE. The report to be submitted to the shareholders at the half yearly meeting states that there has been a considerable i ncrease i n the goods tra ffi c as compared with its amount in the corresponding period of last year. As the new arrangement with the London and North-Western Company for the supply of locomo tive power on lower terms did not come into opera tion till the commencement of the current half-year, the working expenses have been considerably greater than the directors trust they will be in future years. All the loans effected or renewed within the past half-year have been at reduced rates of interest, and under this head a further saving may be expected as existing debentures become terminable. Oa the cost of maintaining the way and works, which the directors have now for some time undertaken without the intervention of a contractor, with a view to economize in that item, the directors are not pre pared to offer any decisive opinion until after a more extended trial. The capital account has been re duced by a further payment on account of the amount due from the Caledonian Company in respect of the Carlisle joint station. The laying down of the electric telegraph along the whole line from Preston to Carlisle has now been completed, which the direc tors expect will be a further means of promoting the safe and convenient working of the railway. The directors recommend a dividend after the rate of Gf per cent. per annum, leaving a balance to be trans ferred to the account of next half-year of 4,4151. SOUTH WALES. The exact day for the further opening of this line from Swansea to Carmarthen has at length been fixed. The 14th of this month is now definitively named as the day for the opening of the extension. The 23d inst. had been previously stated as the likely day, but it was found to be at least a week beyond the time when the line might safely be opened for traffic. An experimental trip along the line has been made, and everything was found to be in order. It is understood that the opening will be duly celebrated by a public breakfast, to be given by the Mayor of Carmarthen, and to which the directors of the lines, the engineers, railway managers and officials, and a large number of visitors will be invited. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the Palatine Hotel, Man chester, Mr. Barnes in the chair. The CLIAIRMAN said the accounts were presented with the report, and be believed them to be honest, and affording a fair view of the company's affairs. The capital account showed that 129,000/. had been spent, and the report stated that it had chiefly been expended on Liverpool and Bury account, the Burn- , ley branch, the Huddersfield and Sheffield line, and the West Riding Union line, in the settlement of the contractors' accounts, in the purchase of land, and the increase of accommodation at the stations and sid ings. He congratulated the shareholders upon the state of the line, and had much pleasure in stating that the company could now borrow money cheaper than for some time past ; they could readily obtain it at 3f per cent., and had latterly borrowed it at 31. Messrs. Farrell had claimed upwards of 90,000/, but the award of the arbitrator had only allowed them 4,0001., and that was a specimen of the claims wade on the company. Five contractor's accounts, involv; settled, and the one out s tanding ing something like half a milli on of money, had s be m e e was onl y owas no t so 15,0001. or 20,0001.

Affairs with the Great Northern remained as before, with the exception that the directors of that company had expressed a wish to meet the directors of this company, who were quite willing to accede, to see if the existing ditlerences could not be amicably d justed ; it was therefore possible these differences I might he settled by negotiation, and he hoped it would be the case. He was glad to see the feeiieg abroad tending towards the amalgamation of groat companies; and be believed that in that lay consider ably future remuneration of shareholders. He was sorry to see the manner in which it had been dealt with by some newspaper writers ; and he was quite sure those writers were not railway proprietors. They had not had their incomes reduced from 500/. to 2001. a year, or they would look at it from another point of vision. he thought shareholders were in debted to Mr. Glyn for the initiatory step he had taken to bring about an amalgamation. It would give a tone to public feeling, and would ultimately lead to a better adjustment of the relations of one company to another. He now came to a subject which was of a painful character —namely, the re cent accidents. Those accidents had been matters of regret, as might be supposed, to every director as well as to the general manager. They could not look upon them without sorrow that they should have oc curred. The directors regretted that there should have been anything either deficient in one or another to produce those accidents, if they had been caused by any deficiencies on the part of the directors. On this he could speak positively, that the directors, and be believed the general manager, had never in one single instance refused to put on additional porters or guards where they believed they were required—to put on more than was necessary would be an incumbrance— if too few had been put on in any case it bad been an error of judgment and nothing more. The di rectors were convinced that, at whatever cost, they must secure safety to those who travelled on their line ; it would be the object of all to secure greater safety to those who used the line • they trusted they would be enabl e d to do so—their ' now-to the subject.

H e concluded by moving that the rep , rt of the directors be received and adopted, the proceedings be sanctioned, and the statements and accounts be adopted. This having been seconded, Mr. HIGHFIELD, of Liverpool, moved an amend ment authorizing the directors to create a suspense ac count out of the 103. per share taken from the Fifths, and in making up the next account to charge the sus pense account with 20,0001. for relaying that line, instead of charging a similar sum to revenue, the re mainder of the suspense to be divided as the share holders might think fit at the next or some subsequent meeting. This led to a very long discussion as to whether the 103. was to be regarded as a capital question or a re venue, numerous speeches being made in favour of the two views respectively. The amendment was lost by a considerable majority. The original motion was then carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution declar ing a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum, to be paid on the 15th of September, ten days earlier than usual.—Carried. Mr. ENTWISTLE, in order to prevent a threatened re-opening at a future meeting of this subject, seeing that th e meeting had d ec id e dl y expresse d an o pi n i on upon it, moved that the 10s. per share, amounting to 60,0001., should be applied in liquidation of the mort gage debt. This was seconded and carried. This completed the business of the half-yearly meeting, and a special meeting was constituted to give authority to create perpetual irredeemable annuities to take the place of the present loan debt, the rate at which these were to be issued to be not more than four per cent. ; but objection was made to the rate and at the request of the meeting 31. 103. was fixed : Mr. ENTWISTLE objected to having them made ir redeemable, seeing that securities were continually sinking ; but it could not be altered, as that was the constitution named in the Act giving authority. This concluded the busineas. COURT CIRCULAR. The Earl and Countess of Derby left Longshaw lodge, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, yesterday, for Knowsley, Lancashire.

S IE ,—A leading article appears in your impression of Monday last, which, if unnoticed, may lead your numerous readers to the inference that the Working• ton magistrates have done a flagrant act of injustice in committing three boys to prison for offences against the game. laws. Asimple narrative of the facts will, I think, satisfy the public that, in the present instance, there has been no unnecessary straining of the law, but that the justices, in dealing with the boy 3, only performeia duty which, in the gratuitou s exerc i se o f t h e i r pu bl ic trust, the law imposed upon them. Joseph Pocklington Senhouse, Esq., of Netherball, himself a county magistrate, laid the informations against the three boys ; two of whom were charged each with killing a salmon trout, and the other with attempting to kill one, in that part of the river wherein Mr. Senhouse has th e exclusive rig h t o f fishery, both banks of the river b e l onging to hi m . Two of the boys, namely Heth er i ngton and N i c h o l, pleaded guilty to the offences, a s c h arged in the in formations ; and with respect to the other boy, San derson, the evidence against hi Ellen in was deemed suffi ciently strong to warrant the justices in convicting him. It was represented to the bench by Mr. Sea" house, that having repeatedly forgiven the boys for previous offences of a similar character, he felt him self compelled, to prevent . a co n ti nuance of the d ai ly depredations going on in the river, to press f or con victions ; an d th e justices were thus reluctantly obliged to impose upon each of the boys a penalty of five pounds, the lowest sum fixed by the SolvraY Fishery Act, under which the i nformations were laid; and in default o f paymen t t h ey were each sentenced to one calend ar mont h' s imprisonment the punishment the m ag i s t ra t es h ad power to award by virtue of the same A c t. smallest I feel sure that, itijustice to the bench of magi!' trates, for whom I act as clerk, you will g i ve this letter a space in your columns.

The re su lt o f this two months' trial has been most satisfactory, fully proving that it is compatible for our ships of war to rank at once among the fleetest of steamers, and most " crack" of sailors. This was demonstrated in ti a regatta-like trial in the Mediterranean, where, in . eet of 13 ships, the lligbflyer and Encounter (under sail) were second and third; the Phaeton, a sailin g " fleetest of the fleet," being thewon wonder aptly termed the winner, the Highflyer receiving the c ompii y m o e u n , t ll t b h e ro t ugh Admiral D t u l !!

THE GREAT GOLD DUST ROBBERY ON BOARD THE NELSON. By the arrival of the ship Vanguard, yesterday, in the river, from Melbourne, e have been put in pos sesioo of the details of the trial of the parties impli cated in the extraordinary piratical boarding of the ship Nelsen, hound to London, and the robbery of nearly 30,0001. of gold dust, consigned to the Austra lian Bank, Austin friars.

The leaders of the " piratical party" were notorious London thieves, cracksmen, and swell mobsmen, wh o had been transported to the colony, and having pro cured by some means tickets of leave, were enabled to go at large and commit this daring robbery. Th e principals only were arraigned on the charge. Their names were John James, alias Johnson, James Mor gan, and James Dunces. They were well-dressed men, but their countenances depicted a life of vice and dissi pation of the worst description. They were indicted, firstly, with having piratically boarded a certain vessel named the Nelson, belonging to the port of Glasgow, and stealing therefrom 8,600 ounces of gold dust; secondly, with having wounded the chief mate (Henry Draper), with intent to murder him. The Attorney-General for the colony prosecuted for the Cro wn . The trial was a very protracted one, and the evidence ;adduced was exceediogly voluminous, but the subjoined narrative will be found to contain the main facts. The Nelson was a barque, 900 tons burden, belonging to Messrs. Potter and Co., mer chants, of Glasgow. On her arrival at Geelong, the master, Captain Wright, endeavoured to persuade the men to remain by the ship, and to assist in discharging her. His efforts, however, were ft uitless, Fur weeks and weeks the ship continued deserted, the master unable to get hands to work at any cost. By great inducements and high rate of wages he at length got seven men to join, with whom, and the aid of his officers, he got the vessel cleared out, and obtained a freight, amongst which was 8,600 ounces of gold dust, consigned to the Australian Bank, in Austin friars. He sailed from Geelong in the latter end of March, and brought up in a day or so in Hobson's Bay, off Melbourne, for the purpose of seeking hands to complete the number of the ship's com pany. It should be observed that she was fifteen short of her number. The gold dust was in twenty three boxes. On its being received on board it was placed in the after hold of the ship, but was subse quently removed, and placed in a locker in the laza rette, and well protected by bags of bread and other articles pl ace d roun d an d over i t, so as to conceal it from view. The piracy was committed on the night of the 2d of April. The master, Mr. Wright, was proved to have been ashore at the time, at the ship mpienng-teofnjoei% i a n nd the town, th enedenavuomubrienrg oft his h p is ers o u re a w de . f l ti ll e e ve m ss e e t l e ; I‘' a i n r. d Henrybesid Draper,n secondw as ma's left. in andcharge esthe hands, there was a mate of haaohther, vessel, the R ae o v y eo a lif l aGeorge,ad,it seemed, then lyin g been i no the friendly ien dr yoirt,h terms on withboard, the fiwhofirst except w when, e him. nt h e A At second mate, and had spent the evening eleven o'clock all bands turnedin, bletween mate, whose watch it was on deck, twelve and one o'clock, be observed a boat being rowed off from the shore, but had no of men p cion of their intention till it was alongside, swnsbei he was " thunderstruck" at their jumping oo n board ; and two of them presenting a pistol at his bead, with an oath threatened him with instant death if he dared to raise an alarm. In another moment he was secured, and lashed hands and feet. The light, however, enabled him to see the features of several of the fellows. There were about ten of them, all exhibiting fire-arms, and some cut lasses. They were not a class of men accustomed to laborious work. They were well dressed, but some wore disguises, such as crape over their faces, and wearing large cloaks to conceal their under-dress. The bands forward were all seized at the same moe ment, the men levelling their pieces at their heads, and with horrible threats vowed every soul should be massacred ,if they dared to thwart them in their pur pose. Having lashed the whole of the crew similarly to the second mate, except the cook, who by some stratagem escaped their observation, they entered the cuddy, and the prisoners, addressing Mr. Draper, the chief mate, said, " We want your gold ; where is it ? out with it." Mr. Draper bad previously been seized by one of the fellows. There were plenty of firearms in the cabin, close to his berth, but he was unable to arm himself before be was seized. They then threw the whole of the ship's fire arms overboard. Mr. Draper, in reply, told them they must be mistaken ; there was no gold in the ship. The prisoners, levelling pistols at him, made answer, " Gold we must have ; you have it on board, and have it we must ; therefore come, show us where it is ; it's noTiise your opposing us." Mr. Draper still pleaded ignorance. Finding that he would not yield to their solicitations, they proceeded to viol e n ce , snd compelled him at length to reveal its " where abouts." After being subjected to great brutality, he pointed it out. The locker was instantly torn open, and the boxes of gold taken out and handed up one after another to the fellows in the cabin, and by them to others at the gangway, and in the boats. Clearing the locker of its contents, they commenced ransacking other parts of the ship, imagining there was more booty to be had ; and the mate , ob , erving them break ing open the captain's drawers, and tearing up his papers, attempted to expostulate with them, and said, " Who is your chief ? It's no use your destroying the captain's things. He's got no gold." One of them (Mor gan) turned round, and levelling a pistol et him, ex claimed, " We'll show you who our chief is ; take that, you —," at the same moment discharging the pistol, the contents of which passed through the flshy part of his leg, and lodged in the partition of the cabin. Satisfying themselves that they had obtained the whole of the precious metal, and in order to prevent the crew of the Nelson making any effort to follow Them, or raise an alarm, they dragged them to the cabin, lashed as they were, and wish the mate, and that of the Royal George, forced them into the se cret place where the gold had been deposited. The fellows then closed the trap upoh them, and, after fastening them down and piling a quantity of heavy goods on the top, so as to render the escape of the crew less likely, they fled from the ship. The cook, who bad secreted himself in the fore part of the vessel, released his mes. mates. The mate took the most prompt steps to apprize the authorities at Mel bourne of the robbery, and although the coast was speedily scoured, no clue of the delinquents the i could be discovered. At lengih, one morning, mate of the Royal George who, it will lected, was on board the Nelson at the timeth the quay robbery, happened to be in hia boat alongsidedrawn to a at Williameton, when his attention was and cloak, on well dressed man carryings carpet - bag be recol lected, h d im the to sb b ip e e d re one of the leaders of the gang wn in ' a , r , the quay side.

T_ i o and in the carpet-bag were found in ,his peasee b " am ong other articles, the custody, and some 201. hi.gont,hdeand a draft bill for 50/. which he bad with i" the Nelson. About this time the which some of the men bad on e e information of the other prisoners, i w de h n en tic t a h l ey di b sg oa u r i d ses d recently opened an account at also convicte, whc' t Geelong, and subsequently arrested the Union Beak a police had receive had them.

There were five other prisoners to be tried for being c oncerned in the act of plunder. The amount of gold found on the whole of the prisoners did not ex. teed 7,000/., consequently there as upwards of 20,0001. 'et to be recovered of the stolen treasure. THE LABOUR MARKET IN AUSTRALIA.--LabOU? IS scarce, and is rapidly becoming scarcer ; wages are enor mously high, and are still on the rise. As regards our chief city, we can safely say that never within our recollection was labour so difficult to procure as it is at the present time, nor , do we believe that wages, taking all classes of operatives together, were ever so high. Not only do mechanics com mand their Bs. or 9s. per day, and common hodmen their is. and 7a. 6d., but even on these terms they are scarcely to be had. And even with remunerations like these the work ing classes are far from satiiled. There is among them an independence, a restlessness, a craving after more, which leaves no doubt that unless something be done, and done promptly, to redress this evil, it will wax worse and worse. But what is that something? Is there anything withinPetxhe: range of possibility whereby we can recruit our nearly no with haunted labour market? Recruit it, we mean, not convicts, with Chinamen, or with savages from islane,s, but with virtuous men and women of we want. and from our own fatherland. This is t 8 In Is this thing attainable?
