EASTERN COUNT The adjourned half-yearly meetin is company was held at the London Tavern, y er ay afternoon, to receive the result of the poll on the a .ndment for omitting all that portion of the ort relative to the Norfolk Amalgamation. At a uarter past four o'clock Mr. Glyn took the chair the absence of Mr. Betts, who was stated to be seriou y ill). The CuAramAs having stated that he had to do was to receive the report of the strut neers, Mr. COLES and Mr. WILSON contended that, being an adjourned general meeting, they could go into any business they thought fit. Mr. DUNCAN, the solicitor, decided that no other business could be gone into than the receiving the report of the scrutineers on the amendment. After some vain attempts by Mr. Box, and one or two other dissentient shareholders, to get up a dis cussion, which was put down by the Chairman, Mr. Ii OYES, one of the scrutineers, read the report, to the effect that, for the adoption of the report there had voted 137 shareholders with 4,230 votes and 305,1501. stock; and for the amendment, 31 share holders with 826 votes and 49,0201. stock. The result was received with loud cheers, and the meeting separated. 2 0-3 3 0 8 0 - 30 " , MANUFACTURES.

MONTREAL, AUG. 14.—The garrison has been under arms all day. Rumour ascribes it to three things, namely, the making of the intended arrests, departure of the Governor-General, and entrance into Montreal of the mounted police. I think it most probable that it is for the arrests that all this rumpus has been made. It is certain, however, that some hidden movement on the part of the authorities is in the course of maturing. An announcement has been issued by the Britons' Club to hold themselves in readiness for any emer gencies that may arise. Major-General Rowan has arrived in town from the Caledonia Springs. The garrison is under arms, and the guards doubled on all the public buildings. The Government have commenced snaking the long announced arrests. I therefore expect shortly to have to inform you of some serious rioting. AUGUST 15, r.si.—There has been considerable excitement in the city since I last telegraphed you, and five persons haie been arrested for arson. Their names are Cooke, Orr, Dier, Ewing, and Courtney, all of whom were bailed with the exception of Courtney. There are other warrants out, and some parties have left the city. The excitement is very great, though I think we shall enjoy a quiet night. MONTREAL, AUG. 16.—Last night about thirty persons went into Lafontaine's house, broke open the gates, and entered the garden. A number of shots were fired by the persons in the house, said to be a body of mounted police. A man named Mason was shot, ten slugs entering his body, killing him almost instantly; A number of others are said to have been wounded. A coroner's jury was empannelled this afternoon, and then adjourned over till to-morrow. Several more arrests have been made. Another riot is anticipated to morrow. A serious riot occurred last night, consequent upon the arrest of several of the British in the early part of the day. About nine o'clock a crowd assembled opposite Orr's Hotel, Notre Dame•street. About ten o'clock the crowd divided, one body remaining in Notre Dame-street, and the other, to the number of 300, proceeded to attack Mr. Lafontaine's house, demolish ing the gate. The rioters upon coming in front of the building were fired upon, and one man, of the name of Mason, received ten slugs in his body. This man died at an early hour this morning. It is expected that serious disturbances will ensue in consequence. The military was called out, and paraded the streets the remainder of the night. A barricade was erected in St. Gabriel-street, but was soon taken by the troops, as the mob, having no arms, did not resist. PITMAN. THIRD DAY, AUG. 30.—At the opening of the Court this day, the President, Sir John Louis, stated that there was no desire on the part of the Court to prevent reporters from taking notes of the proceedings, but the Court wished these notes not to be published until the whole of the witnesses had given their evidence. As yesterday, so to day, the entire time was occupied in the cross-examination of the master, Mr. Elliott, by the prisoner, Commander Pitman. Many of the questions tended to criminate the witness, who was excused by the Court from answering them ; others were of no great importance, only wearying the members of the Court and all concerned, and several were merely repetitions of the same questions asked in a different way. Regarding the marine, White, who jumped overboard, the pri soner's questions tended to show that White was threatened with prospective and not immediate punishment. Witness, however, still persisted that it was fear of instant flogging which caused the suicide. On the production of the original order book, witness was desired to point out any order which he considered cruel, inconsistent, or severe. He considered none severe, but some were inconsistent — for instance, one dated Hong-Kong, December 16, 1846, when a positive order was inserted that no officer should sleep out of the Childers; and another, Hong-Kong, December 25, 1845, no officer to leave while the ship was at single anchor, without permis sion, and then to return by 10 r. M. After considerable loss of time to the Court, several suitable orders for securing the comfl,rt of the ship's company were read by the Judge-Advocate. witness said that First Lieutenant Tremlett was present when Commander Pitman threatened to take witness's commission from him, for refusing to draw a hammock cloth. On the request of particulars of cases of oppression towards Mr. Elliott, he said they were so numerous he could not give them all, but re ferred to two in which he had been publicly repri manded, the first for not giving exact chronometer time; and the second when piloting the ship by night through the passage at Fisherman's Group. The weather was thick and foggy, ship going over the ground very fast, under all plain sail, except royals and flying jib, water about five fathoms, cur rent at least four or five knots. To prevent destruc tion it was requisite to alter ship's course, when he was reprimanded for not having first consulted Com mander Pitman, who was below. Another act of severity was when witness was brought before the Commander in Chief in Chinn, for having, eighteen months previously, gone ashore frcm the Childers without leave, and for being absent several days. Prisoner produced a letter from Sir F. Collier, in which Mr. Elliott was admonished to be more cir• eumspect, but that no further notice need be taken in consequence of the great exertions which he used durini , the ship's perilous position at the Prata Shoals. 5 0 - 2600 5 0 - 2 " 0 3 6-24 s o —3 O ° Our marke r descriptio ns (' we have 1 01 , beasts.

WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. • Sums are assured payable . to ties parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first. occur.

Mr. KER, the secretary read the report, which stated that the directors had called the meeting in accordance with the terms of the Act, which directed that the half-yearly meetings of the company be held in February and August. In consequence of the working contract entered into with the southern companies, under which the Central Railway was worked, it had become necessary to change those periods to the months of April and October, in order to afford time sufficient for adjusting the company's accounts with its proprietors mhsequnitly to the 15th of March and the 15th of September, at which time severally the settlement of accounts will take place with the southern companies. It was therefore pro posed to the meeting that, in place of the months of February and August, the periods of holding the meetings of the company should in future be April and October, and that the present meeting should stand adjourned to Wednesday, the 10th of October. After a short conversation, On the motion of the CIIAIRMAN, seconded by Mr. JOHNSON, the meeting was adjourned till the 10th of October next. street, Bedford-row.

Sllt,--ITaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from repeated attacks of the gout, find receiving no benefit from the best medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were very mach swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished the box, I never was better In my life : they have not only entirely removed the gout, but have.also very ranch improved my general health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and aey all speak highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " J. J. WILSON."

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL THOMAS HUNTER BLAIR, C.B.—We have to record the demise of this gal lant officer, who expired on Friday morning last, at Leamington Spa, to which watering-place he had resorted for the benefit of health. His vvve, and Lady David Blair, Colonel and Mrs. BLir, were with the gallant de cea,ed at his dissolution. The deceased was sixth son of Sir James Hunter Blair, Bart., and brother of Sir David Hunter Blair, Bart., and entered the army in 1802. He served in the Peninsula, from August 1808 to January the following year, and was present and took part in the gallant affair of °bides, the battles of Roleia and Vinsiera, the action at Lugo, and in the disastrous re treat and battle of Corunna. He was not long in Eng• lead before he was again celled R ith his regiment to Portugal, and assisted at the capture of Oporto—took part in the affair at Salamonde, and the battle of Tala vera, when he was severely wounded, and while in hospital made prisoner by the French, and was detained in France until the peace of 1814. The return of Na poleon from Elba, leading to the campaign of 1815, he was again required to proceed on active duty to the Continent, and shared the honours of the glorious battle of Waterloo, where he was seriously wounded. The gallant General subsequently proceeded to India, where he remained several years and served with distinction during the Burmese war, under General Archibald Campbell, commanding a brigade in Ava, and eminently distinguished himself at the taking of Mellow). Oa leaving India ho retired on half-pay. He was a corn - panion of the Order of the Bath. A preliminary meeting of a few gentlemen con nected with the Whig party was held on Wednesday, in the Red Lion Hotel, Berwick• upon-Tweed, when it was agreed to invite Sir George Grey, Burt., to a public dinner, and Mr. Donaldson Selby, of Cheswick, was ap pointed to wait on the Right Honourable Baronet to as• certain on what day it would be most convenient for him to be present. Sensible people ask what the Greys have done for Berwick-upon-Tweed that they should be oterisined in tho way proposed.—Zrewcadle Journal. BIRMINGTIAM, he great exhibition of the manufactures of Birmingham and the midland counties was opened here to-day. The exposition is made in a temporary but spacious and excellently contrived building of immense dimensions, in the grounds of Bingleyshouse, Broad-street, which, upon entrance, not less than upon minute examination, presents one of the most magnificent scenes, as welt as interesting details of art, ever berore witnessed in this country. Th e id ea o f " opening" during the festival week, as a matter of business, was a happy one ; it serves the double purpose of gratifying the taste of musical visitors--if any of them are possessed of taste for art in connexion with useful manufactures —while it will considerably add to the éclat and re sources of the meetings of the British Association. It is obvious that a review of the splendid works ex hibited, seeing that it would be more appropriate during the meeting of the association, would be somewhat'premature. As it is desirable, however, that the public should be made acquainted with the rich and interesting treat in store, the following sum mary from the Midland Counties Herald may not be unacceptable : "First, then, in metal work, because of primary importance to Birmingham, the chief contributors are Messrs. Messenger and Sons, R. W. Winfield, Salt, and Lloyd, William Putts, Gray, Martin, and Gray, John Hardman and Co. These firms send specimens of their manufactures in bronze, brass, and iron, and the display will be of such a character as to do honour to the spirit and talent both of manufacturers and artizans. Stuart, Smith, and Co., of Sheffield, send excellent specimens of their bright polished stove grates ; and W. Marsh, of Dudley, contributes largely in the same department; as do Johnson, Cammell, and Co., and Hoole, and Co., also of Sheffield ; and Yates and Co.. Rotherham. In other articles in the metal trade, Messrs. Stock and Son, and Thomas Dowler, of Birmingham, and the Patent Shaft and Axle Company, Wednesbury, exhibit specimens of their respective manufactures ; and in tin goods, Thomas Griffiths, Birmingham, and Shoolbred and Co., Wolverhampton. The Battery and Metal Com pany contribute' an interesting series of examples illustrative of the ductility of copper in the manufac ture of kitchen utensils. In papier machd, a manufac ture which all our continental rivals have yet to learn, Messrs. Jennens and Bettridge, 111`Cal lum and Hodson Thomas Farm e r, F oo th era p e , Showell and Co., d. P. Harris, R. Turley, Charles Pitt, and others, of Birmingham, and F. Walton, of Wolverhampton, are the chief contributors, and the display will be a magnificent one. In glass, F. arid C. Osier contribute some splendid specimens of chan deliers and candelabra, and other branches of the same material will find representations in the articles exhibited by W. and T. Richardson, of Stourbridge, Bacchus and Son, Lloyd and Sumreerfield, and Rice Harris, of 13irraingha:n, and the Patent Decorative Glass Company, London; whilst in stained glass Messrs. William Chance and Sons, of West Brom wich, and John Hardman and Ce., of Birmingham, will make a most interesting display. In buttons there are some highly novel and beautiful specimens from William Elliot, Hardman and Iliffe, and Smith and Kemp, of Birmingham; whilst the medal de partment of the art of die•sinking will be fully ex hibited by Allen and Moore, Hardman end Iliffe, and Edwards and Bali. In porcelain, Messrs. W. T. Copeland and Co., Miyton and Co., Wedgewood and Co., and Ridgeway and Co., of the Staffordshire pot teries, all exhibit the highest and best specimens of the products of their respective houses; whilst Worcester is fairly represented by the con tributions of Messrs. Chamberlain and Co., and H. Grainger, whose new material of semi-porcelain will not form the least interesting feature of a display, which, as a whole, will certainly he the finest of its kind ever seen in this country since Wedge wood fairly established the pottery trade. In textile fabrics, which in all probability will be less adequately represented than any other department of manufac tures, there will be found a few choice specimens of Spitalfields silk, from Mr. Isaac Boyd, of Spital square, London ; Utrecht, and other stamped velvets, from Bennett's, of Manchester, and the cotton print trade in garments will be partially illustrated by the Strines Company, of Derbyshire and Manchester, M'Naughton and Potter, and . Dalglish, Falconer and Co., also of Manchester ; and the furniture cottons by Swainson and Dennys, of London. In miscella neous contributions there will be articles of great merit from the Patent machine Carving Company (Jordan's), London ; ornamental sawing, by Prosser and Hadley; carpets and rugs, from various Kidder minster houses; specimens of that material for making everything—gutta percha. Nor must it be forgotten that Mr. Collett contributes some magnifi cent specimens of silver plate, and Messrs. Eikington also fill a large glass case with electro-plated goods. These latter ought to have been named much sooner, but the multiplicity of excellent articles claiming attention renders it impossible to put everything exactly in its true position." BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL. BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY.—This great periodical festival commences tomorrow (Tuesday), and will continue until Friday. The rehearsals have been going on regularly for some time past, and there is every reason to believe that on the present occasion the high musical reputation of this triennial celebra tion will be fully sustained. Although the programme does not present, as has been the case at some former festivals, any very important musical novelty, on the other hand, the present year's performances will be remarkable for the extraordinary array of vocal and instrumental talent which the directors have been enabled to collect together. The principal singers are Sontag, Alboni, Catherine Hayes, Castellan De Meric, M. and A. Williams, Jetty de Treffz, Mario, Lablache, Pischek, Sims Reeves, Calzolari, F. La blache, Machin, and T. Williams. The instrumental solo players are Thalberg, Sainton, and Bottesini. The principal organists are Dr. Wesley, Mr. Stimpson, Mr. Simms, and Mr. E. Chipp. The whole musical arrangements are under the direction of Mr. Costa. The band comprises the most distinguished artists of the day, and the chorus is very numerous. Together they will comprise nearly five hundred performers, vocal and instrumental. As we have already said, there is nothing particu larly new in the selection to be given. On Tuesday morning the Elijah will constitute the attraction. On Wednesday morning the lyrics to Racine's Athalie, with Mendelssohn's music, will be given. When this work was first produced in this country, at the Phil harmonic Concerts last season, it failed to interest the audience. Subsequently re-produced at Exeter-hall, with ,some important additions, it was more success ful. It remains to be seen whether the highly mu sical audiences =ally attending the Birmingham Festival will prove more impressionable than those of the Philharmonic and Sacred Harmonic Spcieties of the metropolis. The Athalie will be followed by a selection of sacred music from works of Mendelssolm, Handel, Pergolesi, Cherubini, Rossini, Haydn, and Mozirt. Oa Thursday morning the Messiah will form the staple of the entertainment; and on Friday morning the sacred performances will terminate with the _lsrael in Egypt and a miscellaneous selection. Besides these morning concerts, there is to be a series of evening concerts, each consisting of a selection of miscellaneous music by the most popular composers, chiefly the favourites of the concert room. These will employ the talents of the chief vocalists above enumerated. On Tuesday evening Beethoven's Pas toral Symphony will be ple.yed, a n d on W e d nes d ay Mendelssohn's Symphony in A Mi nor . O n Thurs day evening Beethoven's Symphony in C Minor com mences the selection. The whole of the p roc e e di ngs will conclude on Friday evening with a grand full dress ball. As usual in the Festival week, strangers are pour ing into the town. All the hotels and lodging. houses are crowded ; and the most exorbitant prices are asked for accommodation. NOVEL MODE or POACIIING.—During the end of the past month and the beginning of the present, a novel and most destructive mode of poaching h as b een carr i e d on in the upper diJtricts of the county of Banff. The parties engaged generally go in bands of three, and proceed in the following fashion :----They have with them a pointer, and a large net some thirty yards square. Immediately on the dog setting, two of the parties ad vance by a circuitous route to about thirty yards di-tint from the spot where the dog stands, and spread out the net, bringing it gradually up towards the dog. The third individual meanwhile pushes the dog forward, and by this means the covey is raised, but the birds only rise to be caught in the meshes of the net, where a blow with a stick terminates their existence. In this way, we un derstand, large quantities of game have been netted, and sent on to the London market. This process is, of course, very destructive to the game, and we learn that the proprietors have offered a reward for the apprehen sion of the depredators.—Bangshire Journal. GLASGOW, SEPT. I.—COTTON MARKET.—In the early part of the week the demand for cotton was limited, but towards the close it assumed a firmer tone, partly in consequence of tho favourable news per the Overland mail. The stock of cotton at present in port is about 63,009 bales, against 50,000 at same time last year. Pig Iron—There has not been any change in our pig iron market during the week, and prices remain nominally the same-445. 6d. for mixed numbers; 455. No. 1; and 465. 6d. No. 1 Gartsborrie, The business dcu hos been egremely limited, • There have been three deaths from cholera in this city during the past twenty-four hours. LARGE FIRE IN MONTREAL—MORE RIOTING. MONTREAL, AUG. 17.—About midnight Donne games extensive hotel took fire, and is nuw a heap of ruins. The inmates had barely time to escape, and a number lost all they had. One of the firemen was accidentally killed. It is supposed the fire originated through negligence. Loss 35,000 dolls., insured for 14,003 dolls. ; of which 2,000 dolls. was in the Etna Company. A number of rows took place last night; lamps were broken, and sham barricades thrown up, though no great mischief was done. The jury in the case of Mason, who was murdered in the recent riots, have adjourned. MONTREAL, AuG. 18.—The inquest on Mason, who was shot at the row last week, has adjourned, a French juryman having absented himself. Lafontaine was called on to give evidence on his subpoena, but as he did not answer a warrant was issued for his arrest. The funeral of Mason took place today, and was attended by nearly one thousand persons. The coffin was clothed in red, as were also the mourners. The principal stores were closed. Last night several rows occurred, especially with the horse police, who fired cn the people and then went on board a steamer and crossed the river, where they now remain. . _ . Four houses in Notre Dame street caught fire by accident last evening and were destroyed. They were insured for 3301. in the Etna-office. Courtnay, who was arrested last week on a charge of arson, in setting fire to the Parliament buildings, has been bailed by the judges, who say the evidence against him is very slight. AUGUST 20.—This morning the inquest on Mason again assembled. Mr. Lafontaine was on the point of giving his evidence, when an alarm of fire was given. Mr. Lafontaine was secured by the troops and taken to the Government House. The fire is supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Things have come to such a state that a toss up of a straw may produce a revolution, The Ministry is supposed to have split with the military, and intend resigning. An officer, who arrived in town on Friday night, immediately left for Monklands. It is said he is the bearer of important dispatches. ARRIVAL OF THE HERMANN . FROM NEW YORK, AT SOUTHAMPTON. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 3.—The Ocean Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Hermann, com manded by Captain Crabtree, from New York, ar. rived at Cowes soon after four o'clock P.M., with mails for Prance, England, and Bremen. She had a full valuable cargo of general merchandise, with specie to the amount of 45,000 dollars. After trans ferring her mails on board a small steamer awaiting her arrival, she at once proceeded to Bremen. The Hermann left New York on the 20th ult., conse quen►tly the news from America by her has been forestalled by the arrival of the steamer at Lmarpool, which left two days after. ILLEGAL MEDICAL PEACTITIONEOS.—A case was on Wednesday last tried at Hungerferd before the County Court of Berkshire, in which a person named Bishop, who resides at Ramsbury, in Wi'tshire, was charged by the Apothecaries' Company with practising as an apo• thecary without being legally qualified. Mr. W. H. Rowland, who appeared for the plaintiffs, stated the nature of the case, and explained that the action was brought under the 55th of Geo. 111., chap. 191, com monly called the Apothecaries' Act, by which it is provided that it shall not be lawful for any person or persons (tempt persons then in the practice us tuch) to practise as an apothecary in any part of England or Wales, unless he has passed his examination and re ceived a certificate of his being duly qualified. He then adduced evidence to prove that Bishop, who possessed no certificate, had acted as an apothecary, and furnished medicines for the use of a man named Henry Bagman, who subsequently died. Mr. Astley, for tho defence, endeavoured to show that the evidence had failed in proving the charge, and raised some technical objec• dew, which were overruled by the Court. He denied that there was any proof of his client, who was a very respectable man, practising at Ramsbury as a physician and chemist, having compounded the medicine. The jury,, however, brought in a verdict for the plaintiffs for 201., the amount claimed. This is said to be the first case of the kind which has been tried on the merits. AN EVENTFUL LlFE.—Died on the 21st of July, at St. Stephen's, New Brunswick, aged 111 years, Mrs. Elizabeth Dodd. Deceased was born on board a British ship of the line, in the Bay of Biscay; cradled on the broad Atlantic. Her father having been killed while fighting for George 1., she was cast an orphan on the shores of New York; thence carried to St. Augustine. After her marriage she settled on the banks of the Ala bama. On the outbreak of the war between France, Spain, and England, she, with other British settlers, were made prisoners and taken to New Orleans. After two years she was transferred to the Spaniards and taken to the castle at Vera Cruz, where she remained until its capture by the British in 1761. She was then relieved, and taken to New York. During the first Atnrr:can war she followed her husband through the principal campaigns, and was at the 11;rd-fought battles at Mon mouth, White Plains, Yorktown, &c. At the close of the war, in 1784, she went with the Loyalists to the pro vince where she died. IMPORTATION OF NUNS.—A pa rt y of nuns passed through Greenock on Saturday on their way from om 'Dub lin to Glasgow. They were dres sed in lon g cloaks worewit h t a i r p o p u e n t h b e l a r C f k a c h e o a n n w e h t i s te a c n i o d th e r r e a s pe em b v i e i i n t g s , a a b nd an d e a a g eh o, Covering most of the brow, cheeks,. and chin. They were generally middle aged persons, but one or two were young. They were escorted by a priest. Ia passin g through the railway office, and to the carriage, they walked in single filo, and, though eight in number, crowded together in a single couvArtunat of a firSt•elass carriage.-- Witness, OPENING OF A PORTION OF TUE GREAT NOBTIIERN RAILWAY.—The opening for traffic of the portion of this line from Doncaster to Retford, in conjunction with the East Lincolnshire Railways, takes place to day. This opens a line to L ee d s an d York on the one hand, and to London on the other. The Great Northern commences about five miles beyond Don caster, where it forms a junction with the Askern branch of the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole, and thus forms a ready access to the West Riding of Yorkshire, and also to Lancashire and the manufac turing districts generally. The portion/ of the line which is this day to be opened from Doncaster, in continuation of those five miles already opened, is a part of the main trunk of the Great Northern, and is about eighteen miles in length. It will, for the first time, open a direct communication by railway between Doncaster and the metropolis. Leaving the station at Doncaster (which is only a temporary erection), the line passes by the union workhouse and the proposed junction of the South Yorkshire line, and then crosses a large district of land called Potte rick Carr. Here is a wide and expansive view of the sur rounding country, including St. Catherine's -hall, Wad - worth, and several villages and gentlemen's seats, embracin g Tickhill Castle and Chur c h, some exten sive woods, and a fine district of country. The line then crosses the river Tome, and then reaches the village of Rossington, where a station is built. Here is a gradient of one in a hundred and ninety-eight, as the line proceeds to a place called Piper-wood, where may be seen the grounds and mansion of Shooter's hill. At King's-wood, about a mile from Bawtry, is a massy bridge, the rail proceeding under what was formerly called the Great North-road, once so famous for the number of mails and other coaches plying from London to the north. The line next approaches Bawtry, a small market town, just skirting upon the county of Nottingham. And here the passenger has a pleasing view of some varied and beautiful scenery, embracing parts of the three counties of York, Not tingham, and Lincoln. There are two or three viaducts over the river Idle ; and the line passes Serooby village, Ranakill (where there is a station), Serlby Hall, the residence of Lord Galway, th e domains of R. P. Milnes, Esq., and of the lion. Bridgman Simpson, until it reaches the station at Retford. There is for the present the terminus of the Great Northern, but a junction is formed at Retford with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway; and passengers are conveyed to Gainsborough, Lincoln, Boston, Peterborough, and so on, by the Eastern Counties or the London and North-Western to London, thus forming a most conven i en t an d rea d y means of con , veyanee from the northern parts of the country to the metropolis. There are six trains each way to and from Doncaster and Retford ; and it is very probable that in a day or two some alterations will be made, so as to cause a greater facility between London and Doncaster—the annual races at the latter place coin. mencing next week. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK.—The direc tors of this company have just made some important reductions in their fares, to the effect that the first class fares between York and Newcastle, by all trains except express, shall be reduced one-fifth part ; and by the express one-tenth part of the previous charges. Return tickets are to be issued by certain trains at one fare and a ball, as well as by market trains. LANCASTER AND PRESTON.-This company having ceased to work their line, under the terms of their lease to the Lancaster and Carlise, all their locomotive engines, tenders, carriages, mid materials are about to be sold by auction. ITIGiI LEVEL BRIDGE OVER TRH TYNE.—The de flection perceptible from the weight of a train of 200 tons on the newly-opened structure does not exceed three-tenths of an inch, the weight being a much greater one than the bridge will ever be required to bear. GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.--We understand that the directors of this company - have just con cluded a contract for laying down a single line of railway from Aberdeen to Inverness, for 784,0001. — Montrose Review.

Aix LA-CuArELLE, AUG. 21.—Her Royal High ness the Duchess of Orleans, the Comte de Paris, and the Duko de Charing, arrived hgre yesterday from England, FOUILTIL DAY, AUG. 3 1.—Lieutenant Graham, the prosecutor, and Mr. Elliott, the witness, complained of the length of the cross. examination. Commander Pitman requested, with consent of the prosecutors, that as part of the evidence was in print, the publica tion might be continued ; but the Court determined to adhere to their former decision. Mr. Elliott was cross-examined by Lieutenant Graham, the Court, and the prisoner, with regard to the marines Haigh and . White, the boy Cleverton, the midshipmen's steward, Matthews, and the fake entries in the leg. Matthews, the midshipmen's steward, jumped overboard in the river Nimpoo. The officers of the watch signed the log, knowing it to be incorrect, within the knowledge of Commander Pitman. The officers of the watch occasionally did not sign the log. The fact of Whites jumping over board is so inserted in the log. John James Smith, master's assistant, was serving in the Childers when she ran on the Prata Shoals ; the day previously he had, by reckoning, ascertained the ships position to be within 50 miles of the shoals ; had kept the log during the illness of Mr. Elliot, and entered the ship's position the day before in pencil (fearing at the time. that it was incorrect), but altered it the next day when the ship struck. He believed the entry as it now stands to be correct. It was La Plata Island, 38 miles south, .50 west. The first entry was incorrect, but he (witness) attributed the vessel's getting on the Prata Shoals to the weather and the ship not being under control. The subse quent entry was made after the ship struck. There was another erasure in the log about the " force of the wind on the 9th of October," which he had made at the order of the commander, who, in his cabin, said he should be sorry for any one to read the log and see that the ship was in such a state, with the wind blowing at only such a force. Ile then altered the force of the wind from 7 to 10. Another erasure occurred under the words " bearing" and " distance," 28 being altered to 38. lie did it himself, the cap tain having found an error in the work by a mistake in taking the distance out of the traverse-table. On the'Oth of October Lieutenant Graham gave him a copy on half a sheet of paper, and not on the slate. The force of the wind, as altered, is correct. They had no observation for two days. Commander Pitman examined witness relative to his dismissal from the Childers, which took place on the 10th of February, 1849, at the order of Sir F. Collier, the Commander-in-Chief. Witness spoke to the oppressive treatment he had reeeivcd from Com mander Pitman, who placed him under arrest for striking a second-class boy. The letter of the Com mander-in-Chief stated that he was to be discharged, but Commander Pitman entered in the log and on his pay-ticket that he was discharged from the service in disgrace. Commander Pitman, in this instance, exceeded his instructions, added to which he at one time recommended his messmates to turn him out of the mess, which they, however, did not do. , TICE WEATDEE AND lIARVEST.—Last week the weather has been very variable—ono day cold and threatening froet, and another bright sunshine and oc casional heavy showers of rain, which heat down the crops where these were heavy. Although several fields of barley and oats have been cut down, harvest ope ra tions will sot be general till next week. The a heat crop will be about a fortnight later than the others, but it promises to be very abundant. There are, however, complaints of smut and honeycomb being more than usually prevalent among the wheat, caused by the con tinued wet weather and the want of sunshine. The bar ley, bith in bulk and quality, will be very fine; oats are if anything rather short in the straw, end thin on the ground. The. turnip crop never looked better at this period, and has no doubt been much benefited by the showery weather. The potato crop will also be heavy, though about a month later in coming to rnaturi7. The disease of former years, which we s tate t d sc h e a m d again appeared here some few weeks ago, doe h s e no weather to be making much progress.

PLINE.—On Lir& ey evening the PRISON DISCI discussion cu this subject was resumed at the adjourned ms Exeter, when the Rev. W. C. Os borne was heard at great length In opposition to the eiews contended for at the previous meeting by Mr. C. rearson, M.P. The chair was, as before, occupied by air. J. Lillifant. Mr. Osborne argued that the system recommended by Mr. Pearson would be expensive, in stead of being economical—that it would not meet the epees of persons committed for short periods, or of pri soners before trial—that it made no provision for females —that no adequate provision was made for the preserva tion of silence, or to prevent the mixture of the prisoners —that the system of labour proposed was impracticable —and that, in short, the whole scheme was a phantom and a delusion. The Rev. Gentleman then defended the separate system, which he contended had proved more successful than any other in accomplishing the grand objects of efficiency and economy. The discussion was ultimately adjourned till the following evening, when several gentlemen delivered their opinions en the sub ject, and expressed a desire for further explanation from Mr. Pearson with regard to particular parts of Lis scheme. Mr. Pearson addressed the meeting at consi derable length, giving in further detail the nature of his plan, and answering the oijeetions taken to it by Mr. Osborne. At the conclusion a vote of thanks were given to Mr. Pearson, and also n d the to arvc air. e Osborne, o f the fo r c theirhairmraen spective addresses ; a having likewise been similarly acknowledged, the meet ing separtved. The Bishop of Oxford met with an accident a , few days since, while visiting Baron Alderson at his seat near Lowestoft. His Lordt hip was riding in company with some friends, when his horse fell and rolled over tte Right Rev. Prelate. Fortunately- his Lordship sustained no serious injury, and was able to dine out the someday. L —Morning paper. NI 9 113!
