Witness.would not believe Davis on his oath. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Davis knew witness was a special constable. Witness would not join the Chartists, because he knew what they wanted could never be carried out in this country. John Stanton, John Pinegar, and several other wit nesses from Greenwich, were examined for the purpose of contradieting the evidence of Davis, but they did not succeed in doing so in any material respect.

GERALD WEL LESLEY.—The remains of this highly estimable gent'. man were to be interred yesterday in a vault within the precincts of Durham Cathedral. Viscount Chelsea, the Hon. Colonel Liddell, and other connexions, were to attend the funeral. The late Countess of Mornington (mother of the deceased), and the late Marquis Wel lesley, the Earl of Mornington, and Lord Cowley, are all interred in the family vaultiat South Audley Chapel. FATAL REMORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held on the body of Henry Fox, aged 34, a lamplighter in the employ of the City Gas Company. On Saturday last the deceased and his wife had been taken to the station house for creating a disturbance in the street, and being drunk and disorderly. On Monday they were charged before Sir Peter Laurie with the offence, and fined ss. each The unfortunate deceased would seem to have been generally of temperate habits, and the disgrace of having been locked up in a station-house preyed exces sively on his spirits; and this, coupled with the tear of losing his situation at the gas-works, at length led him to hang himself. Verdict—Temporary Insanity. SIGNS OF WlNTER.—Several flocks of wild geese have been seen upon the Cornish coast, and quantities of starlings have also wade their appearance. Many woodcocks have shown themselves, and a few have been shot. A beautiful specimen of the osprey or fishing hawk (pancion haliachis), was caught alive at Moors• water Lodge, by P. Lyne, Esq. It was seen for several days previously about the grounds, induced to remain there probably for the purpose of preying on the trout in the fish ponds, although it had been once fired at. It was finally captured by means of a rat-gin placed on a high pole, on which the bird attempted to perch ; it was very slightly injured, and is now in Mr. Lynn' s possession. According to Montagu, the osprey is rarely met with in England, and more frequently in Devonshire than elsewhere.—Plymouth Journal. MARBLE VENEERING, OR SLATY PAINT.—III Ohio, according to a New York paper, a Mr. Blake, of Akron, has discovered a curious mineral, soft at first, and like indigo, but hardening in a few days into a slaty stone. On analysis it is found to consist of about one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, with mag nesia, oxide and sulphate of iron, lime, and carbon. By reducing it to fine powder, mixing with linseed oil into thick paint, and applying it with a brush to wood, iron, tin, zinc, or brick, it becomes, after a few months' exposure, per'ectly hard and indestructible. As a protection against fire, it is said to be invalu able. In the west it is in large demand for covering roofs of buildings, for bridges land fences, &c., all of which i t protects from weather as well as from fire. School slates are manufactured by applying it to thin wood or pasteboard. On wooden mantel fronts and tables its appearance, when polished, is held to be not inferior to the finest Egyptian marble. Mr. Blake has procured a patent fur his discovery. Would not Portland cement, in fine powder, end thus applied, with linseed oil, produce a slaty veneer over simi lar surfaces ? We make a present of the sugges tion to the Portland cement manufacturers. P a . rian cement mixes with oil, and might thus, we think, be used as paint, or for stony veneering ; and certainly the surface of blocks of Portland cernen, reminds one a good deal of slate: the hardening, toot from a soft or moist state very much adds to the resem blance which it bears to this new world's wonder. By the way, silica, with lime, has been found, if wo mistake not, to form a sort of glaze well adapted to give a stony veneering, like this, to plaster.—The Builder. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importation of lambs from Holland continues to take place, although the season is so far advanced for this description of young live stock. The vessel Lord John Russell, arrived from Harlingen, has brought 78 lambs, in addition to a fair complement of other descriptions of live cettle; and the large quan tity of 3,458 casks of butter and 300 of cheese, 100 bags of beans, 710 quarters of oats, some packages of poultry, bacon, and other articles, the production of /WIWI " In preparing the above tables, it has been t he earnest wish of the directors to exhibit, in as c l ear an d intelligibl e a form as possible, not only the whole expenditure a lread y incurr ed, but an estimate of all future liabilities. It will be seen, from the summary No. 5, that the sum required in addition to th e amoun t expended on the 30th of June last, to complete all the works at present in progr ess , is estimated £3,136,626 " And that the total contemplated outlay of the company will then amou nt it; .., A .. ....25,862,012 " And that when the present share capital is fully ealled u p , which will probably be in 1852, the capital stock of the company will amount to ... ••• •" '" '" "In which case the amount of loans on debentures will be reduced to --- £21,047,747 ... 4,841,265 £25,862,012 the determine directors, w h o o f t c h o e u r r steh,eai their e liable For this outlay the company will possess 500 miles of railway, and a p ecuniar y interest in 641 miles in additi on , which may be considered as a tributary to the parent line.

" GUARANTEED LINES.—It is scarcely necessary to remind the proprietors tha t g uara ntees .. in most cases as much with the view to the ultimate protection of the large incom e o j the company, as to any inc rease o f it s profits—it will be observed that in no case (that of the North - Union a nd Preston and Wyre lines except e d, i n w hi c h t h e London and North-Western; and Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies unite in the gua rantee) i s i n an y di v id en d guaranteed beyond a moderate per centage on the outlay, but information aggreg a t e t h ese liabiliti es are apparent l y l arge, i t may b e d es i ra bl e here briefly to repeat in substance the respecting ,them whi c h h as b een g i ven in a great measure on former occasions in the ball-yearly reports of the company. " On the Buckinghamshire lines the original plan has been considerably modifi ed and the capital reduced ; the guarantee is fo ur p er cen t. Thi s li ne may hereafter become of great importance a s affording a sec on d line toßir iningham, havi ng obtained powers by Act of Parliament to work its traffic over that portion of the Birmingham and Oxford line from Banbury to Birmingham. "The Coventry and Nuneaton is a short line, which will open important collieries. In the extent of its mineral traffic, which will be brought upon the main line, consists its chief value. " The Huddersfield and Manchester, and Leeds and Dewsbury, provide the most direct line that can be con structed between Manchester and Leeds. The di s t ance b e i ng f ort y-t w o miles against the present route of sixty two, passing through the large manufacturing towns of Dewsbury and Huddersfield, and a very populous e , , inter vening di str i ct , an d w i t h exce ll ent term i n i i n L ee d s and Manchester. The pros pects of tram() nave always been consid e r e d fav ou r a bl e; and when it is remembered that the guarantee is contingent on the dividend of the main line, and th a t whil e th e returns of the London and North-Western Company continue 7 per cent., it is limited to 4/. 18s. p er cen t. ; there seems every reason to hope that the result of this undertaking will be satisfactory. "The Presto n and Wyre is leased to the London and North-Western Company, jointly with the Lancashire and Yorkshi re Company ; the latter having two - thirds, and the London and North-Western one-third of the risk. " The North Union line is also a joint-lease with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at ten per cent. per annum ; th e l oss upon this undertaking has been charged in the revenue account of the general concern, a n d i n both cases it is not improbable that any loss will enti re ly di sa pp ear w i t h th e return of commercial prospe r i ty , " The Sh ro p s hi re U n i on li nes are guarantee d a div id end equal to ha lf o f that of the Lond on an d North- Western C om p an y, b ut are ent i t l e d to any pro fi ts on t h e i r own line as far as s i x per cent. ; further p ro fi ts to be divided equa ll y b etween t h e two companies. Th e nom i nal capital is large, but t h e Shropshire U n i on Company has at prese n t con fi ne d i ts ou tl a y t o th e f ormat i on o f a li ne from Shrews b ur y to Stafford ; the c a l cu l at i ons appended, refer only to that work, which brings a new and i m p or t an t di s trict into immediate connection with the centr e o f th e L on d on and North Western Company's lines. The canal forms a portion of this guarantee, but as it has produ ce d a nett profit considerably above the guarantee, and is not likely to be seriously affected by surrounding interests, the directors feel much confidence in assuring the proprietors that they do not anticipate any drain on their resources from this undertaking. " The Stour Valley line will be an expensive work, and the cost will exceed the original estimate in consequence of the line passing throu g h a densely-peopled district, which rendered it difficult to calculate its expense. " The guarantee of two-thirds the dividend of the London and North-Western Company is on 565,750/. The guarantee of th e Bi rm i ngham Canal is also connected with this undertaking; but as t h e revenue of the canal is no , w , I yielding more than sufficient to cover it, this liability, the directors trust, may be considered as nomin a l.

I t wou ld b e prema ture to spe c if y t h e particular points ut which they contemplate this economy, but should the arrangements now proposed be carried out, the effect would be materially to reduce the general expenditure. " The only remaining guarantee is that to the Scottish Central Company, which/ is taken in concert with the THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, lB4B. Lancaster and Carlisle, Caledonian, and Edinburgh and Glasgow Companies. The lease is 7 per cent. on a ca pital not exceeding 1,020,000/. (of which this rompan'ys proportion is one-fourth); and as the lass, if any, is to be borne only in proportion to the traffic which each company receives from it, the risk is inconsiderable. " The directors may dismiss, thereforo, this descrip tion of engagement,. with remarking, that if they do not offer any early or flattering prospects of profit, neither as a whole (taking into account the additional traffic to be brought upon the old lines) are they calculated to prove a lasting burden on the company; and further that the control of the working of these important branches will add to the strength and security of the whole undertaking is beyond doubt; and when time has been afforded for the development of their resources, it is not unreasonable to expect that profit also will be derived from them. In dealing with these engagements, there fore, the directors assume that the liabilities will be met by the proceeds. • tah Chief and most of the light weights, and keeping in advance of the heavy division, ran in close order to the cords; Clarissa and Drakelow then joined the Merope colt, and Tiresome coming half-way up, a very close race enst,d, Tiresome Binning by a head, the Merope colt a rood third.

The amount of capital thus contri buted, as per sch, dule 3, is 4,945,231/. " The directors are aware that the net revenue to be derived from these several lines may be variously esti mated; but however sanguine may be the expectations of those competent to form an opinion of what may pro bably be realised in a few years, they desire in this statement to take a safe view of the probable results. " In estimating, therefore, the net proceeds of these undertakings at 3 per neat., they by no means wish to convey an impression that such is likely to be the issue, but rather to place the calculation on lso low a scale as not to be open to question. "The subscription to the Caledonian Company is so limited in extent that a very small dividend would not entail much loss. (S. Mann) I ... 0 " The Lancaster and Carlisle line has paid the com pany 4 per cent. on its stock since the opening, and the traffic has so largely increased, that an early advance of dividend may be expected. There will consequently be a direct profit on this stock, and one which the directors feel confident must steadily improve. "The branch lines embraced in the second schedule comprise extensions into new districts, such as the Stamford and Rugby Railway, the Clifton branch con necting the East Lancashire with the Liverpool and Manchester line, the tunnel and new stations in Liver pool, and the enlargement of station accommodation. The last named portion of this capital cannot be expected to prove remunerative per se, but will be necessary to enable the company to obtain the traffic expected to arise from the new lines and extensions about to be opened in various directions. The means of conducting the goods traffic at Liverpool are now quite inadequate to the demand, and comparatively speaking a small por tion only of the traffic to and from the interior of the country is yet transferred to the railway. The new station at the north end of Liverpool, and the expected junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line at Manchester, are calculated considerably to in crease this business. The capacity of the Lon don and North-Western line for receiving and convey ing a very large accession of traffic is undoubted; but without the terminal enlargement now in course of being provided, the directors would have found it difficult to manage such an increase, as on a revival of the com mercial prosperity of the country, may reasonable be expected. " Having now rapidly glanced at their various litibili ties, it remains for the directors to point the attention of the proprietors to the present state of the capital and revenue accounts, and to supply materials which may enable them to form their own judgment of the future return.

The account will therefore stand thus i Dividend upon total share ca- pi tal of •• A 21,047,747 at 7 per cent. £1.473,342 Lane, £4,814,265, at 4% per Less at 334 per cent. on £4,945,131, assumed return on capital of subsidiary lines as per schedule 3 .. 216,642 Match, 200, h ft.

"It therefore remains for the shareholders to decide whether the preceding calculations are sound and mode rate, and if so, whether there is a reasonable probability of the gross revenue of the company from the main line and branches to be opened increasing to an extent of 6,4241. per week. by the year 1852, when all the capital will be called up, and the subsidiary lines be in operation. " To produce such an increase, there is the addi tional revenue to be derived from all the lines enume rated in Schedules 2 and 3; and that steady annual in crease, which, with the exceptioa of periods of severe depression, has taken place since the lines were opened —to which should be added, that economy of manage ment which increased experience will enable the direc tors to introduce.

Remembrance and Tophana headed the lot from the start to the cords, where the horse, who made the running was beaten. Tisiphone then came, caught Tophana a few strides from home, and defeated her on the post by a head. The weather was most inclement from an early hour in the morning until nearly the close of the racing, and the course in a state that beggars all description. Trials of speed were out of the question. From the number of events in the list, and the almost incessant rain, we found it impossible to obtain anything like detailed ac counts of the running, and in some instances were unable to take the time of the races. " On the other hand, the directors do not overlook the fact, that a certain amount of traffic will be abstracted by competing lines. It will be much less than is usually supposed, and the general traffic is secure to the concvrn. ••• 3 " In conclusion, the directors beg to remark that they have endeavoured to avoid giving an undue colouring to the prospects of the company.

SlR,—The Legislature has, out of paternal regard to the morality of the lieges, abolished lotteries and enacted severe penalties against public gambling, but left thimble rigging and " bearing" stocks as still lawful games. We class both pursuits together, as we can conceive no dif ference between cheating with a thimble and pea and cheating without them. " Bearing" cannot be successfully prosecuted without resorting to practices as disreputable as thimslerigging, and it is melancholy to reflect that so respectable a body as the members of the Stock-Ex change collectively are, should lend the influence of their name to statements so very fallacious as have ap peered in their Weekly Share List. It is notorious that, notwithstanding the great depression in railway stock, there has been no corresponding amount of transfers sent in for registration. This is also confirmed by the experience of all purchasers, that it is extremely difficult to get delivery of any stocks bought. This shows that brokers generally must lend themselves to the conspi racy that has been entered into to depress prices. It is necessary, therefore, that the public should take the initiative in protecting themselves. It is simply this— let every purchaser of shares, in sending an order to his broker to buy, intimate that unless the transfer with certificates are sent to him within ten days from his order, he will consider his order cancelled, and the shares bought to be at the risk of the broker. Brokers may make any law they choose, but as one of the Learned Lords recently told them, they can make no law incon sistent with the laws of the country. This simple rule would instanter produce a favouratfle reaction. It is obviously the interest of all respeeta6le brokers to set their face against a system so injurious to their own character and so destructive of the interests of their employers. Lot them always recollect that a deprecia tion of property is beneficial only to the few, and disas trous to the many, so that their own interest is identified with what contributes to the prosperity of the majority. The insertion of this will oblige, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. Edinburgh, Oct. 26, 1848. " THE YOUNG COUNTESS." —Mrs, Trollope's new novel, " The Young Countess," is just published, and promises to become one of the most popular of her stories. It is au illustration of aristocratic life, in which the two powerful passions, love and jealousy, are made to produce incidents so extraordinary, that, as de scribed by the talented authoress, they cannot fail to leave a very strong impression upon the reader; indeed, " The Young Countess " may be said to be one of the most remarkable works of action that have been pub lished for some years.—Evening Paper. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.—BIRMINGH AM , FRIDAY.—A meeting was held yesterday at the Philosophical Rooms, Cannon -street, in this town, for the purpose of adopting resolutions with regard to the meeting of the association, which is ap pointed to take place in this town in September next. Mr. Geach, the Mayor, occupied the chair. Mr. Phillips, the secretary of the association, then entered at great length and with great clearness into the history, the present condition, and the pros pects of the association. This speech was listened to with great attention, and seemed to excite general ap probation. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. J. C. Miller, rector of Birmingham, the Rev. J. C. Barrett, the Rev. J. A. James, Independent Mi nister of Can's-lane; W. Wills, Esq., W. Chance, jun., Esq., J. Russell, Esq., and other gentlemen interested i n promoting the objects of the institution. They were all unanimous in offering accommodation to the distin guished scientific guests who would visit the town on that occasion. The meeting will take place the week after the Birmingham Festival. FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES OF THE WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The treasurers of this society have just published a most " urgent and important" appeal for immediate assistance, stating that they are under acceptances to the amount of about 10,0002 A large portion of which becomes due within the next ten days, whilst the funds at their disposal are entirely exhausted, so that they have not the means of meeting their im mediate responsibilities ; and further, that they antici pate that their entire payments from the present . date to the 31st of December, will amount to 30,0001. (if tliey can get it). 43,559 FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Fourth Edition of last night]:— In the course of the discussion on the decree appointing the 10th December as the day for the Presidential election, Count Mold said that he had been told that if th e d ecree should not pass the Ministry would retire ; he added, that for his part he thought that the Cabinet would not refuse to add a service more to the important services it had already rendered. It was bound to assist the Assembly, and should have the courage to continue in office until it had completed the Constitution. General Cavaignac, President of the Council, who followed, began by protesting against an expression of M. Mole, who had said that the Cabinet threatened to retire. It had, he said, held out no such menace, and the Assembly and country would render him the justice to say that he had not imposed any conditions for his services. He was neither an ambitious man nor a traitor. 'Whatever might be the decision of the Assembly, he and his colleagues. would not make it a Cabinet question. If they considered their continuance in office useful to the interests of the Republic, they would retain their func tions ; if hot, they would not hesitate to re sign them without exposing themselves to the charge of desertion. They were influenced by no sordid attachment for power, they were animated by a sincere love of their country and a sincere devotedness to the Republic. It was they who had recommended a prompt appeal to the country, because they con sidered the adjournment of the question of the Pre sidency an immense danger for the Republic. DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen of the 12th, published in the Augsburg Gazette, informs us that the new elections are completed. The result, according to the reasoning of the Danish papers themselves, will be the overthrow of the Ministry as soon as the States assemble, its power having been already greatly weakened by the cessation of the war.
