This Company has been formed for the purpose of working Gold, Copper, and other minerals in the vast range of mountains corn . Prising the Liverpool Range, the Blue Mountains, the Australian Alps, and others traversing the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria from north to south, termed by geologists the " Great Aus tralian Cordilleras," and the various flanks and streams contiguous. In addition to gold and copper, these mountain ranges are well known. to abound with various other valuable minerals—platina, silver, and lead; precious stones are also stated to be among their hidden treasures. The Committee of Management have entered into a provisional Contract for a Mineral Lease of 4,000 acres of the celebrated Segenhoe t atate in the county of Brisbane, in the Hunter River district, where Valuable veins of gold quartz, and copper ore of rich quality have been discovered. The Quartz rocks that run through the Segenhoe Estate are pro nounced to be the fountain-head from whence are annually carried by the flood the debris that form the auriferous alluvial deposits of the River Hunter. (See a pamphlet, " Australia and her Treasures," Published by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.) The valuable testimony (as to the auriferous mineral wealth of this region) contained in the pamphlet before alluded to, is fully corroborated by the fact, that the report of the Government Sur veyors, Messrs. Hargreaves and Stutchbury, who have lately . returned to Sydney from exploring the district, has been deemed by the Colonial authorities of too exciting a nature for present Publication. ' The titles to land in Australia, being all originally derived from • grants or purchases direct from the Crown, are clear and nn- Questionable. The provisional contract and draft lease will lie for inspection of Shareholders at he Company's Offices in London, and copies of the 'nne at the offices at Plymouth. In dispatching a staff of officers, engineers, and foremen, with the requisite machinery and appliances, it will be the study of the Corn niittee of Management to cmibine the greatest efficiency with a indlelous economy, and to obviate the disadvantages arising from the enormous cost of entirely employing European labour, arrange ' Inents have been entered Into for the engagement of large numbers Of Chinamen, on reasonable terms, to procee d from Hon g -Kon g and the neighbourhood to Australia, to meet the Superintendent's staff ....and machinery at Newcastle, on the mout h of the Hunter River. • ~.The value of Chinese as workmen has already been full y tested in California and New South Wales, where large numbers are already ' Settled, and daily arriving. The Company being formed on the Cost-book System, share holders will not be required to sign any deed until the Royal Charter is obtained ; and as the scrip certificates will be issued .from the purser to bearer, it will be optional for any one to sign the Cost-book.

Company is in the course of formation to construct a Railway directly connecting Shrewsbury and Worcester, and to afford to the important districts along this portion of the 'Valley of the Severn the benefits of railway communication. The proposed line will leave the Madeley Branch of the Shrews 'i;tirY and Birmingham Railway near to Madeley. and proceed direct to dgnorth, and thence follow the Valley of the Severn by Bewdley trrld Stourport, near which latter plac e it will fall into the Oxford, orcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, thus affording railway ac t ;ornmodation to the towns and districts of Coabrookdale, Ironbridge , Madeley, Broseley, Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Bewdley, '`wlderminster, and Stourport. the The line will also, in connexion with other Railwa y s, establish shortest route between Worcester and the whole o f the South west of England and Wales on the one hand, and Chester , fir *e nhead, Holyhead, and the North of Ireland and Wales on the Other. As regards the local requirements of the line , the enumeration of the towns and districts that will be served by it, and which are at Dreamt without railway accommodation, is considered sufficient. It ahonid, however, be stated that the difficulty of navigating the B evern above Stourport has long called for some better means of transit in those parts. The proposed line is about twenty-six miles in length, and the t lonntry through which it will pass well suited for the formation of a railway ; the landowno.rs have been consulted, and are favourable to t he project. It i s obvious that the construction of this line will be beneficial 1 ° the existing railways it is intended to join ; the line is, in fact, the natural extension of the Osfa rd, Worcester, and Wolver _ampton Railway, which Company it Is expected will give its •uPport to the 'undertaking. %, preliminary survey of the line bas b een made, and a de 4.L'uled prospectus will be shortly issued; co mmunications in the meantime may be addressed to Messrs.

The royal pro- clamation against public clerical processions is now the grand bone of contention, the picking whereof seems to be relished with great gusto. inasmuch as the "mum mery" letter had become so stale that all parties had been long sinoe surfeited of that memorable document, the probability being that its memory would not have 'outlived the assembling of the new Parliament. The fire opened by the morning organ of the priesthood has, of course, been taken up by the weekly mouthpiece of the Ultramontanes, the Tablet of this day heralding what it calla the "new reign of persecution" by an intimation that "Lord. Derby's Government has come out against the Church of God with a royal proclamation." After a con siderable expenditure ,of abuse of the author of the offending documents, the writer proceeds to dissect the Home Secretary's speech in the House of Commons on Wednesday, when replying to the Member for Athlone's interpellaticins, and points out for the information of in nocent Mr. Walpole no , less than 15 instances between the years 1843 and 1845 in which the Act of Parliament was deliberately infringed in England, without any at tempt being Uncle to punish the transgressors. The pre tence, therefore, of alarm about the peace, the Tablet argues is " a false pretence of a kind that even a Home Secretary should be ashamed of." It is almost unneces sary to add that the whole Roman Catholic provincial Press sings to the same tune; and it may bo certainly relied on that if, as the opponents of Ministers allege, on it d‘ t , h oc e r ys p oc r ctdla will 'ttiuo servicernn at outs uat the et b hh e n e ut n stthi due hustings r v s a i s nw ed tha ge a no s n ast theg;lvd- m ai d iyi e mo l e fa c kt t re i STATION i..I FsKjEoTurnll ststates e C s 0 3 t S S c r Nj a n i n s shall arrive.

Yesterday (Friday) the General, accompanied by a splendid muster of the elite of this 'strict, proceeded to the Fulwood Barracks, to inspect : e corps with which he had seen so much military sere' e. Soon after the inspection, Sir Charles harangu e d 0 reg i men t as fol. „pee of one of the lows :—" Soldiers of the 50th—i t Would be useless in me to address you as a ste a d y and well-drille d regi ment, as all regiments und er . hi s Grace the Du k e o f Wellington are well drilled. I address you as a ,hard fighting regiment, as a regiment that has ained many a well earned laurel in the fi eld. It is now forty.tbree years since I commanded you as li eutenant-colone l an d major in many a hard-foug ht b attle in.the'reniar ia. you 'limb -r The other day I met you agai n at „L a hore, and was exceedingly glad:to see that ou still maintain ed the high renown- and . genere cod disciplinary • - crier which etie% tortrel i vse eted, art because you well deserve this tribate 'di a—and I say it of pr a ise—no regi m th e e P n t e in ni l n n s d u i l. a a di N sti o ng r u e i gi sh m e e d nt in itse L e itself more than the 50th ; ' and I have, on' more than one occasion h ad great cause and admire your bearing A action i n the field, your patience , and energy, your p erseverance and mora l courge. Soldiers, the regiment that a a man first joins is his home, and he always afterwards lo o k s upon tics his home; and when a mae, after being absent from it for a length of time, comes back to it once more, his feelings are those of a man who is once more returning to the friends he loves—to the home which is endeared to his heart. I look at this visit of mine to this regiment as a return to my friends—to my old be - "me; and, as being •.he greatest honour it is in my power to bbstow upon this regiment, I now wear the same belt and plate I wore when major of thia corps. ere • --e General here ex hibited to the soldiers the accoutrements mentioned by him.) I have again this day admired Your stea di ness Yoh in the state yon ne quarre lling, but now—no one sick, no one absent, no o - Out rough and ready, able and willi ng to fight at the first sound of a gun." He then t urned to and drill, and am truly proud to see Lieutenant. Colonel Sidlay, and complimented him in warm terms upon the state of the regiment, speaking Particularly of their appearance and discipline, and ord ered him to dis miss the regiment. The Lieutenant-Colonel then gave th e leord, lc Unfit bayonets ;" and during the execution of this manoeuvre the General said he had one word mor e to say to t h e soldiers. Bayonets ,were unfixed and returned to the scabbards. Sir CHARLES then resumed — There h . , as been a great teal of talk about the Mini 6 rift,; but I can assure you, 50th, there is nothing like " Old 3row n H en, . with a axed bayonet, a strong arm, a strong h eart,' and strong c ourage. .I have seen the 50 th, with the old ram-down m usket and bayonet, beat all before t h em, and they wou ld beat the Devil if they met with him. If you were lead to `go to meet the Loud cheers French to-morcow, I Would go ind you myself.—(.) At a signal from the Colonel, the men, with caps off, cheered the old warrior long and luitily, and the General ordered the Colonel to dismiss them. At three o'clock the General's carriage drove up, to convey him to the town; but the men, wh o would hear no remonstrance,' unharnessed the horses, and when Sir Charles was seated in ehe vehicia, with Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cooper, and Mr. German, they drew him round the. barrack-squ a r e an d i n to the road, wh ere they again yoked tothe horses, when the General drove off amid the loud and en th us i ast i c h uz iss of the s o ldi ers. In Preston, f or many years past, the pensioners re siding in the t own an d ne i g h' s °urhood, who h ave f oug ht either at W a t er l oo or i n t h e Penins u l ar campaigns, have been annu a lly rega l e d a t a sumptuous repast li berally provided by th e su b scr iptions of the gentlemen of the district.. It had been known for some time past chat the gallant Napier had promised to honour this year's festival with his presen ce; and this distinction 4ave unusual interest to the feast. Many of the pen sioners had fought with " brave old Charlie." The pensioners mustered in Deepdale-road, near the aouse of - Recovery, awaiting the arrival of Sir Charles . from the barracks. On his: a pproach they formed in ' tine, and greeted the veteran with cheers. On the carriage stopping, Mrs. Cooper held a new colour , prepared for the occasion, and presented it to which t h e pensioners o f P reslon, we.ce was rece ived by Mr. Byron, one of the body. Upon this, Mr. German addressed to the a ssem b led veterans a brief an d appropriate address, expre ss i ve of the comp liment pa i d to them by so handsome a present, remarking that he knew they would value it e t sghly, and preserve it un sullied. It was then proudly e unfurled, an d the veterans, headed by the band of the 50 th Regiment, which ca m e op, had it borne before them, and they thus marched o rderly procession • throu g h the town. They closed their march about five o'clock, at the Corn Exchange, where, to the number of above four hundred, they sat down in the large room. They were on this occasion honoured with the attend ance of a much larger number of the gentry 'of the district than on s oy former occasion, not less than 240 gentlemen being present. On the south wall of the room was a flag inscribed, "Seinde ' Meeanee, Hyd era b ad, 22d Chesh i re Regi ment." On one side the arras of Prince Albert, and the other the emblazonment of Prince Albert. On the opposite end was the. Prince of Wales's crest, with the other royal euablaeon naente . In the recess of • the west side was the new flag presented to the pen sioners. It is a large one made of crimson silk, with a white fringe. Upon.it is formed a wreath of laurels and other flowers, around it being outlined at intervals the names of the" leading Peninsulareagements—Salaa mance, Vittoria, Moja, Orthes, DOur en o, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Berms, Pyrenees, Toulouse, Viniiora, Talavera, Albuera.

The whale was the work of Mr. Carr, 50 whose taste it did infinite credit, Ile cost (about 20/.) was defrayed by subscription . In t e recess over which this flag floated was a gallery, to which ladies were ad inittei during the after-dinner pro cee di ngs .

" Well done, my= majors!" And Sir Charles -Napier was one of those majors. And well did they d u it; they ooutriboted by their prViYetii to Ow diatipa46llo result which enabled the army to go to other field s , a s he before said, where they covered themselves with fresh laurels, , which.would always be the case with 13ri t:sh soldiers: Lieutenant-Colonel DERINZY said that he had been requested to respond to the, toast by Due whom it had Ever been his pride and his pleasure to obey—their illustrious guest and visiter.—(Hear, hear.) Ile was sure they would agree with him, whenever the banner of the British army should be unfurled, whether the oc • ession should be one of invasion on our part, or of de. fence, the same bulldog tenacity, as hitherto, would dis tinp,uish our forces.—(Cheers.) Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND proposed "TllO Wooden Walls of Old Englend."—(Cheers.) A veteran seaman, who tought under Lord Nelson at Trafalgar, named George Margenson, now residing at Blackburn, was here introduced to Sir Charles Napier, who shook him warmly by the hands. The old hero, who paled not before the French at Trafalgar, was moved to tears by the interview. This incident was the most int-resting of the evening, and much affected many of the company. Mr. It. T. PARKER said he congratulated the veterans upon their having,the honour of the attendance at their board of one of the most distinguished generals in the service.—(Applause.) They bad been welcomed by their townsmen.;' and they had especially witnessed upon that occasion, in a caost tender and affecting cir cumstance, the union between the army and navy. — (Applause.) Who'could for a moment stoically witness the feelings of that old sailor, and the kindness with which the Gallant General patted him on the shoulder? —(Applause.) That was an instance in which they might be proud of the general whom they bad never seen there before. And if ho so encouraged the old sailor, how thought they ho would encourage the soldiers in his day? Why, by leading them to victory. That was the mode by which he learnt the way to the soldier's heart. Mr. Parker then adverted to Sir C. Napier's services at Corunna, where be was left upon -the field .ssith..five wounds_izala od and at Vimiera, where lie' led the 50th Regiment; it . ors of the most important of our provinces to this empire. The hero of Sinde was before them.—(Applause.) The soldier of a thousand battles was among them. He concluded by proposing " Sir Charles Napier, and the Waterloo and Peninsular Heroes," invoking them to drink the Gallant General's health with three times three. The toast was drunk amid tremendous cheering. Band—" See the Conquering Hero comes." Sir CHARLES NAPIER, on presenting himself to re spond, was enthusiastically applauded. He said—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, , I rise to thank you for the kind way in which you have received my health, and for the honour you have done me in asking me to this dinner, and for that greater honour which I feel in sitting down to dinner with the gentlemen of Preston and my old comrades in areas.—(Cheers.) It is most gratifying to an old soldier to see so many of his brethren in arms assembled together by the generous sympathy of our countrymen at Preston—l confine it to Preston, for it is nowhere else seen,—(Applause.) And it is on this glo rious anniversary when our immortal Duke—(Hear, hear)—sits down annually to commemorate it by his great banquet. He it was that forced froth the stand ards of Napoleon that fame and that fortune which had ever attended that great man; and in an instant, in that battle, his great empire disappeared like a meteor amid the brilliance of its own glory.—(Applause.) Gentle men, with your leave I will now read to you the pre face to a work published by the author of the "-Penin sular War"—(Applause)—a man lying on the bed of pain and sickness, and who feels no comfort equal to that of recording the brilliant deeds of the British soldier.—(Cheers.) He says— "ln this publication the combats of Roleis, Vimiera, and Corunna, and the character of Sir John Moore, have been entirely recomposed;" [that Sir John Moore of whom this gentleman (Mr. Grenfell) spoke so justly; and of whom no man can speak too much in his praise— Cheers]. " The other battles and sieges are, with more or less compression of details, transcripts from the His tory of the Peninsular War.' Thus arranged they will pethaps most effectually exhibit the constant energy of the British soldier, and draw attention in their neigh bourhood to , the veterans who still survive.—(' They have done so at Preston.'—(Cheers.) Few of these brave men have more than a scanty provision; many have none, and nearly all, oppressed with wounds, disease, and poyerty--sare attendants on an old soldier's services— feel life a burden so heavy as to make them envy the lot of comrades who threw it off early on the field of battle. " For the authenticity of the events, the reader has this guarantee. The author was either an eye-witness of what he relates, or acquired his knowledge from others who were—persons of no mean authority. Cora manders-in-chief, generals, and other officers on both sides; private official correspondence of the English en voys; military journals and reports of the French leaders ; the correspondence of the , intrusive Ri ng Joseph and his Ministers; and the private military notes and instructions of the Emperor Napoleon, have all contributed to establish the truth of facts and the motives of action. " For the general who led the British troops so tri !: umphantly, this record gircer no m.fivgares of ohitity. To win victories was the least of his labours. Those who desire to know what a❑ enormous political, financial, and military pressuro he sustained, what wiles he circum vented, what opposing skill be baffled, what a powerful enemy he dealt with and overcame, must seek in the original history from which this work has been ex tracted. "For the soldiers it is no measure of their fortitude and endurance, it records only their active courage! But what they were their successors now are—witness the wreck of the Birkenhead, whore four hundred men, at tbe call of their heroic officers, Captains Wright and Girardot, calmly, and without a murmur, accepted death in a horrible form, rather than endanger the women and children in the boats.—(Load plaudits.) The records of the world furnish no parallel to this self-devotion!" Such, gentlemen, are the warriors of England.—(Hear.) And ho to whom is owing the splendour of the British army is still our leader. But, gentlemen, lam sorry to say there aro men in this country who seem to talk of war with terror; men who whisper the word lest sur rounding nations should take umbrage; men there are who dread the glorious sound of preparation for de fence.—(Applause.) These men, gentlemen, forget that every Englishman's house is his castle—(Bear, hoar).... they forget that England is the nations' castle—(Hear, hear)—and that, with God's blessing, we will defend it with arms in our hands.—(Applause.) That castle con tains the Lancashire witches.—(Applause.) And it contains our free constitution—free Idris, free trade, free press, and, with, God's blessing, if attacked, tho free use of our bayonets.—(Lond cheers.) Our men, oar young men, burn to be in arms; our old soldiers have lost their strength, I am sorry to say, but we retain our ex- perience and our courage.-- r (Applause.) lam happy to say that our militia are at last called out; I rejoice at it; and I hope that era long they will be seen to rival the troops of the line,--(Cheers.) It is to me painful to see in the public papers that Members of Par liament have got np in their seats and said that we have 100,000 regular troops to defend England. Tho Secretary at War very properly at once put down this electioneering nonsense.—(Laughter and loud applause.) We_have no army in England to defend it. We have our sons, and they are brave, but they are not discip lined; and if the Duke of Wellington had to put himself at the head of the army to-morrow he could not muster 10,000 men in the country to defend it.—(Hear, hear.) But some of these geetlemen will say,." Oh, there will be no invasion." 'Very possibly; I dare say any man on the Continent will think twice before he invades En w po il s l si b b e l T in h v e as p io r n es ; en b t u r t u t l h er er o e f m v a ra y n b ce e , a w n h in o v m a , sio l n Eng land.

Now, gentlemen, if I may be allowed to say so, we ought to keep a vigilant eye upon power ful France. Louis Napoleon is at this moment making railways, and, strange to say, a deal of English money is employed in making them.—(Hear, and cheers.) One of these lines leads to Toulon , another to Lyons , anot h er t o Belgium, and ano ther to Boulo g ne, so that from the before England could be aware of of this 400,000 men could come attack us.

TEURIFIC ACCIDENT IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL.-00 Wednesday evening, about five o'clock, an. accident, at tended with loss of life to one person and serious injury to another, occurred in the tunnel connected with Spital Tongues Colliery, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Certain re pairs were going on in the tunnel, and no waggon was to be 'i en t down after ten o'clock on Wednesday. About five o'clock Messrs. Arkless, colliery viewers, and a alaithsman na med Coulson, proceeded up the tunnel to look after the repairs. To their surprise and horror, the tunnel only being broad enough to admit a waggon to pass, they heard the noise of a loaded waggon rapidly approaching. Their only pos sible means of escape was to lie flat on the ground between the rails, and allow the waggon to pass over them. They did so, when Coulson, being a stout man, was caught by the lower part of the waggon, and Was so dreadfully mangled that h ke e died almost immediately. One of the Messrs.

QUEEN OF THE SCREW T S B ! E.EASOU-Ny. PLymotaTH, SUNDAY MORNING.—The return of this splendid vessel to port, as already announced, has af forded the shipwright officers . and . men of the Royal dockyard an opportunity of witnessing a class of ship of their craft - " H ` d irie to which they are practically strangers, and all classes, mendation of the Queen of the South as a complete gem from the chief downwards, are loud in their com and the tact th e st e t the workmanship hemost masterly kind. The circumstanilP-th roughed c . 4f.t H ermodel is admitted to be perfect, and d to put back, she had withstood S he h a d experienced most severe weather, made al of her being oblige hands curious • to witness how prised- to- fi ee i 80 t 4 °4 " 4 she laboured that thel trial, and they were sur - of the usual marks of none , even in the most delicatei u-erin g c o u ld be discovered ;- be perfectly tight, and noptap Hers, hull was found to be found of the s hi p havir ° ; par; and, though in accordt?nsttal-ed builder, she was taken into ee d or worked in any smallest indication could with the wishes of her mendable on the part of Mr.Mareowckh, this, though cm no der anchorage in have her thoroughly examined and -.° Was determined to sin to fects . to make have been quite unnecessary, es telsl the ship had might as easily have been completedaatted her h aver nom , was found to requirements the Sound. In fact, good—the whole cause of the water fro mposrtion partment, for to this it was confined until the engt opened to equalise the depth (which wa s f ound y rves were 2 feet 6 in.)—arose from the fact of the ehokion be o n l y bilge pumps by the coal dust, in consequence of a g of the of the protecting, grating of the pumps having cause peen displaued. To the non-practical readerozneee through may explain that acme thousands of gallons of water are hourly admitted into all large steam-ship s, pipes supplied for the purpose, to keep the bearings of the machinery cool ; and this water has no mode of egress but through the pumps. Though the quantity of water named may appear large, its accumulation in large vessels is not such as to aequire more than occasional clearance ; and it was not until the ship began to experience bad weather, that the fact of the quantity in the machinery compartment was discovered ; as it was to the wash the extinguishing the fires was to be attributed, rather than to the ab solute increase of water. But from the fact that when recourse was had to the pumps they were found defec tive, Captain Hyde, who is acknowledged to be one of the most efficient and experienced o ffi cers abet, would i not have thought t . at all necess ar y to return to por t, as he had already . sufficiently tested the noble ship to prove her complete mistress of the task for which she was de signed. Her conduct in the gale inspired general confi dence in her as a sea-boat, and when placed under canvas her execution (running, as she fr equent l y did , 11 k nots) was a theme of admiration. It is due to Captain Hyde, and the officers generally, to state that, to the respect and esteem which their gen tlemanly conduct had before won from all the passengers, must be added an increased confidence from their cool and sailor-like conduct, under the circumstances which induced Captain Hyde to bear up for Plymouth Sound. Of the vessel herself little can be added to what has before been said in her praise. She was taken into dock on Thursday evening, and on the following morning underwent a thorough overhaul, the result of which has been to increase the confidence of all concerned in her welfare, and sbe will leave the port with the highest pos sible professional testimony to the talents of her projec tors and the skill of her constructors. As we have be fore stated, detects she had none, and the sole cause of her return, after having commenced her sea voyage, was the result of a casualty precisely similar to that which, it will be recollected, detained her Llsjesty's steam-ship Mcgmra at this port on her outward voyage to the Capo with the Rifles. A simple mode of preventing the oc currence of such a casualty wakehen• :euggested to the eseimiesetty.d.partsuent at Somerset House, by Mr. Gor mully, the shipwright officer an whose charge and direction the Megtera was made ready to renew her voyage, but nothing we believe has since been heard of the suggestion. There is no fear, however, now that the etaject has been brought practically under the notice of the enterprising gentleman from wnose yard the Queen of the South wes launched, that steps will bo speedily and effectivelyyes a taken to prevent the recurrence of similar u precautionary measure the Queen of casualties, the South hag now been supplied from the store at this yard with four of Gossego's portable engirier, similar to those supplied to the ships of war for use in the event of themain pumps from any circumstances getting choked or otherwise unfit for use. .... _ _ On Friday Captain Lowe, R.N., inspector of mail packets at this port, mustered the crew a second time, when, in reply to a question from this officer, the men, oue and all, expressed their confidence in their captain and officers, and satisfaction with their treatment and rations in every respect. Captain Lowe also assured those on board the snip that she should not put to sea again until he was perfectly satisfied, by the testimony of qualified persons, that she was perfect in every respect. In consequence of the desire to substitute some more tide of simple cooking apparatus than the one withwhihtihhee ship was before supplied (Grant's), and which did not appear to be understood by the cooks on hoard. and also to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded by the fact that the Post-o ffi ce authorities here had named this e principal day (Sunday) for her final departure, to make vesseltimprovementsrifling wasoot t akeo o out t n 0 i t h d e oo i k n teurontaill arran ge ments, the evening yesterday.
