The engine backed the train out, as usual, until it reached the facing points, very near to the ticket plat form. The train then, it is evident, ran on the wrong line. The last break dropped off the rails, causing th• composite to run off also, the break taking the left and the composite the right. They then broke asunder, the composite falling into the lower level (Lancashire and Yorkshire goods yard) into a truck, and then on to the ground, breaking into many pieces. In this composite was Mr. Hall, recorder of Dorms ter, who is much bruised, his right arm and leg broken ; he is with Mr. Jeal, surgeon, an old schoolmate of his. There were four or five second-class passengers, who were our servants, save one, Mr. Hall's clerk. None of these, I believe, were hurt in the least. Henry Wm.

HOWEVER we may value past enjoyments, it must be admitted that present hopes have a greater influence than bygone recollections. There are some pleasing reminiscences of the past year which will sweeten the events of the present. The Old Year, loaded with the precious fruit• of the earth, like a provi dent and industrious predecessor, has left us the leg icy of good food, which we hope, notwithstanding adverse circumstances, to have at a cheap rate. Reviewing the past year, we have the highest gratification in re cording our seeee et, and expressing our thanks for the vast amount ot patronage and support which our business in all its departments has received. - We think it no presumption to say we have laboured to merit the distinction we have gained. Business—practical, ener getic, constant, punctual, and unwavering—has been our daily ob ject. We have visited every market ; we have employed the skill and experience with which many years of boundless trade have gifted us ; we have encouraged talent, and patronised industry, and have made ail our resources available to friends, patrons, and the public, in presenting them with superior And fashi enable Dress, et very reasonable charges. We have received our reward in the innu merable instances of satisfaction expressed toward our business and our manufactures—in the vast increase o: our Trade in London, the United Kingdom, the Colonies, and throughout the World. The Ready-made Clothing Department has been publicly acknow ledged the boon of society, and an advantage to individuals and families. Our ambition to furnish the best, most fashionable, and comfortable' Clothing, at the lowest possible prices. has met with a most conspicuous response ; and we owe to our friends, patrons, asd the public, a grateful acknowledgment of success which has not been equalled on any former season. We have received the attention of eh classes and of all professions—our productions have been declared the most popular, the most gentlemanly, the most comfortable, and the cheapest, Our system of business, now universally known, has been as exten , ively praised; and through the past Year, the cordial congratulations we have received have been a source of satisfaction, which we esteem the most brilliant triumph of Trade. As Hatters, we have supplied elegant articles for the intellectual developments of our fellow-subjects, and have neither contracted their benevolent propensities by comfortless hats, nor distorted their apprehensions with exorbitant prices ; but the best productions of London and Paris have been transferred from our Establishments to their proper places—the Heads of families and all the young hope fuls of a future generation. In the Hosiery Department such encouragement has been expe rienced as has exceeded the most sanguine expectation, and at the repeated solicitation of a vast number of patrons we have been in duced to add a Hosiery section to our Oxford-street Branch Establish meat. Being the largest Manufacturers of Shirts and Underclothing, and having commercial transactions with every Nation and King dom in the World, we have the pleasure of offering such articles in Hosiery for Ladies and Gentlemen as are not equalled for supe riority, variety, elegance, or cheapness. Our Wholesale Clothing, Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Business, for which the most extensive premises are kept at our City Establish • ment, has had the most liberal encouragement from Merchants, Shippers, Captains E and others ; and we have the greatest satisfac tion in the uniform testimony which has been awarded to our pro ductions from the oelehrity they have gained in all parts of the world, and the conviction that they have proved the most pro fitable investments which were ever made for the export or home trade. We most gratefully acknowledge the distinguished patronage which has been conferred on our Branch Establishments at Sheffield and Bradford, Yorkshire, where we yursue the same plans of business, charge the same reasonable prices, and furnhh goods of the same fashionable and excellent order. Though every colony of the British Empire has in it our patrons, Australia, that home of English in dustry, has a large and flourishing Wholesale Branch of our well known business; and we are persuaded that in every place that business will always be worthy of the name and celebrity of E. MOSES and Sox. • However, as it is E. MOSES and Sox's custom annually to recapi tulate the progress of their business, and to express their good wishes towards their patrons and the public, they do so with an ex traordinary degree of pleasure at the commencement of the year Hosiers, and Out -1855 ; satisfied that the name of E . MOSES and S o x is identified with gcod, fashionable, and cheap clothin g ; that E.

Useless attempts have been made, both in France and England, to conceal these defects. Mottles and Ravin enveloped their substances in capsules of Gelatine and Gluten which increased the drawbacks of the Cosaiba, by adding the indigestible nature of the capsules. Mr. JOZEAU, more fortunate than his predecessors, has succeeded in rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly inocuous, in increasinz at the same time, is his Copahine, all their curative prin ciples. This important preparation has been adopted by the Aca demy of Medicine, after more than I,ooe trials In the hospitals of Paris, upon the report of Messrs. Boulay, Begin, and Cullerier ; and it has also lately been tried in the hospitals of London—viz , St. Bartholomew s, Guys, and St Thomas's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros Clerk (see " Lancet " 6th Nov., and 10th Dec., 1852.) The Copahine, in the form of a very pretty pink sugar plum, both agreeable to the taste and to the eye, effects a cure, on an average of six days, without nausea, cone, or g , /strie disturbance, of recent as well as cluotdc cases.

The plans have been finished, minute e4intates of the cost have been made, and the line has been gone over and examined by contractors of the highest respectability; and the pro moters have no doubt that the works will be undertaken by them for a sum which, together with the purchase of land, rolling stock, trelhninary expenses, and all other charges necessary for the com pletion of the undertaking, will certainly not exceed '200,0001., or 23,0001.. a mile, including bridges over the Nairn, Findhorn, and Lossie. For this sum the Company will he in possession of a single line of railway—double wherever this is necessary for its efficient working—and with bridges built and land purchased for a double line. And the promoters are in a position to state, that the contrac tors with whom they have been in communication will be prepared to take payment of one-third of the cost of the works in stock. The Engineering Works—from the level nature of the country, and the light gravelly soil over which the line for the most part passes—are of a simple character, and are certain to be completed witnin the specified time. Besides the large io , al traffic arising from the line passing through the centre of the richly cultivated and populous county of Moray. this Railway, when connected with the Great North of Scotland Railway, now in progress of extension, will form part of the great through communication from Inverness by Aberdeen to the south. From the character of the country the line can never be exposed to railway competition. Through the Inverness and /Cairnlway—with the directors of which the promoters of this undertaking; are in cordial ce-operation —the line will be enabled to communicate with the Caledonian Canal at Inverness, and thereby to establish a connection with the large and rapidly-increasing traffic flowing along that great artery of corn mu.icati,il to and from the counties of Banff, Moray, and Nairn. At its other extremity, the line will communicate with the Elgin and Lossiemouth Railway, and the port of Lossiemouth. Besides these, the Railway will receive the traffic of the several ports of Nairn, Findhorn, and iturghead. Careful observations or the traffic, made in 1845, with a view to a Railway from Inverness to Elgin, showing a local revenue amply sufficient to yield a liberal return upon a railway of a much more expensive nature. Since that period, however, the wealth and traffic of the district have been materially augmented, and are still rapidly increasing. • Taking the basis of the observations of 1545, the result will be as follows : Egtimated amount of local revenue £21,000 0 0 Deduct 40 per cent. for working expenses 8,400 0 0 £12,600 0 0 Of interest on 50,0004 borrowed Leaving........ For division, on a called-up capital of 150,0001., or a dividend of 7 per cent. immediately after the opening of the line, with the cer tainty of a large eventual increase. The undertaking, therefore, vresents these peculiar advantages:— I. It will be completed and opened for working in two years from M t , passing of the act. 2. It will cost only 8,0101. a mile, for a single line, while thr average co't of railways in Scotland, with a doable line of rails, has been. 31,0001. a mile. 3. While the average return per mile per annum, In Scotland, has been 2,01101., a sum of only 8501. per mile per annum, on this Pne, will yield a dividend of 7 per cent. 4. The line, from its situation, secures in perpetuity the whole through railway traffic passing northward of Elgin from Aberdeen, and passing eastward of Nairn from the Western and Northern liighlan , s. 5. The line will be worked in connection with the Inverness and Nairn Railway, under efficient Parliamentary powers, whereby the facilities of transit will be on the one hand greatly increased, while on the ether hand the working es- Pen , es will be greatly economised. G... Lines of this charicter, constructed at a moderate cost, in the north of Scotland, have proved highly remunerative, as in stanced in the Lossiemouth and Th. , eside Railways, recently opened—both of which have returned dividends of 5 per cent. on the first year's traffic. 7. The promoters are justified in stating that payment of one third of the cost of the works will be taken in stock, as a guarantee for the due completion of the undertaking, and in evidence of the conviction of its soundness as a commer cial enterprise.

FOREIGN SPIRITS.—During the eleven months termi nating on the sth of December last no less than 10,182,817 gallons of foreign spirits have been imported. In the like period of 1853 the quantity imported was 8,497,197 gallons, and in 1852, 8,237,027. This in crease is; of course, attributable to the circumstances of the war ; for of rum, with which our sailers and soldiers are supplied, out of 7,536,685 gallons imported in the eleven months of last year, only 2,843,331 gallons paid duty for home consumption. In the eleven months of 1853, 2,841,916 gallons, and in 1852, 2,075,269 gallons were entered for home consumption. 3/. 04. ; and the The conduct of our official establishments at Balaklava, Scutari, and elsewhere, may well earn for us the title of "the European Chinese." Incapable of anything but the merest routine, unequal to the slighest emergency, our officials have contrived to do as much to discredit our national character as the conduct of our regimental officers and private soldiers has done towards elevating it. Three hours a ere occupied by the wounded disem barked at Scutari in struggling, weak and agonized, over the quarter of a mile of ground that separated them from our inhospitable receptacle of misery. Flesh and blood were embarked and disembarked, tossed and ban died about, with no more regard to quivering nerves and bleeding wounds than if they had been so many bales of wool or cotton. But why do we speak of the miseries thus endured in places the remoteness of whose situation, the newness of whose establishments, offer some excuse for inhumanity and some paliation for neg . lect ! Let our readers consider the case of the Himala ya at Portsmouth, and then say whether they know of any Christian people so inhuman as those to whom England delegates the care of welcoming back to their native soil the bravest and best-deserving of her sons. On Tuesday last the Himalaya arrived at Ports mouth, and, after a delay of 24 hours, ranged alongside the jetty, and began to unload her melancholy cargo of sick and wounded—the shaken and mutilated remnants of the heroes of Alma, of Inkerman, and of Balaklava. It must have been in itself a touching and moving spec tacle, such as the sternest nature could scarcely witness without pity. Here were men who, exposed to every hardship, and urged on by no incentive but a feeling of honour and devotion, by the mere effort of unconquer able will and unflinching hardihood had saved our army from destruction and our country from disaster; and what now was left of this tremendous infantry, this gal lant and dashing cavalry ? Armless, eyeless, footless, as our correspondent describes them,— rent with shot or shell, pierced by bayonets, and hacked by sabres, they staggered on, supporting each other in this melancholy march, till tkey stood once more on that sacred soil which had sent them forth to conquer, and which might almost be supposed to throb under the feet of its re turning protectors. They came ; but who was there to welcome them ? Everybody knows that Portsmouth swarms with officials, naval and military, and that, if the Queen had been landing from Osborne instead of our helpless and crip been wanted one of the tale to swell the unmeaning p p l o e i cl n p s a o n ld d ier id a f le ro e m ere t m he C ceremony. ap e there would not have should have had the Admiral Superintendent, the Port Admiral, the Liente nant-Governor, and a host of other officials whose titles it is net worth now recording, as none of them could End time to attend to this ordinary duty of hospitality and humanity, or to see that the noble freight of the Himalaya was received with all honour, all gratitude, and all tenderness. The officials were not there, al though they had 24 hours' notice, and the disembar kation was left to be effected by the invalids themselves, with such aid as the crew of the steamer could afford them. But there is one class of officials never wanting to the duty of saluting an English man on his return to his native land. If the Generals and Admirals were wanting, the Custom-house officers were not. They were there to examine the baggage of the wounded soldiers, laudably anxious that no single pound of tobacco should escape its contribution to the revenue, and afford an unt axe d so l ace t o th e miser ablewas condu c ted c of te d S o l n ek t it h e e s a 0 p o er njetty, a convalescence.ndn The until it was search n eluded no soldier or officer was all owe d to l e ave the spot. thei uco - They sat and crouched as best th e y might in the bleak J anu ary afternoon, those shi ver i ng an d mu t i lated relics o and pondered, doubtless w which the country for which they had given all ex tended to them in return. There were no ambu lances, no stretchers ; there w as n o one to care f i with the thoughts strstrong a too n bitter brrav for e words, on the welcome d for them, or to conduct them to their allotted home, until, at last, after the matter seemed almost desperate, help came in the shape of omnibuses for those who could sit, and stretchers for those who could not ; and the miserable scone was thus brought to a tardy end. With such a specimen of Ports mouth, it were vain indeed to waste criticism or indig nation on the miseries of Balaklava or Scutari. How has war already hardened our hearts and deadened our sympathies ! Six months ago we were met with the most violent disclaimers when our correspondent asserted that our troops were ill fed and ill cared for on their arrival at the wild and remote shore of Gallipoli, and now such a scene as we have described can pass at our principal seaport and arsenal without comment, and al most without notice ! Singularly enough, on the very day on which this ac3ount appeared a contemporary published a letter from the Queen to Mrs. Herbert most honourable to the feelings of her Majesty, and calculated to soothe the miseries and alleviate the sufferings of her \ wounded soldiers and sailors. The Queen requests to be furnished with details of the wounded—more interesting to her than to any one. Her Majesty begs that these poor noble men should be told of her interest and feeling for their sufferings, and her admiration of their courage and heroism. She knows the value of her sympathy, and she is anxious it may not be withheld. Yesterday her Ma jesty passed through Portsmouth on her way _to Osborne, and those who could find no time to welcome her wounded soldiers home attended on her qtrriva,l with their usual punctuality. Had she asked the gentlemen who surrounded her on the station with the keys of the fortress where they were when her poor invalids lauded from the Himalaya, the question might, perhaps, have obtained for the next draught of invalids that shall ar rive a reception more in harmony with their merits to wards us, and the enthusiastic gratitude of the country towards them. Her Majesty has broken through official reserve in order to testify in the most signal manner the warmth of the feeling which unites the Sovereign of this country to the men to whom our defence is entrusted. It would be highly gracous in her, and at an- rate it is the boun den duty of her Ministers, so to notice the recent scene at Portsmouth as effectually to provide for the humane and careful reception of the next cargo of human misery which the blast of war may fling upon the coasts of Eng land.-Times. DESECRATION OF THE TOMB.—WEINAR, Dec. 31. It is generally known that the bodies of Goethe and Schiller repose in the vault of the reigning family. A few days ago a stranger was conducted to visit the vault, when to his dismay the guide found that the second door was, broken open, as also were the coffins of Grand Duke Charles Augustus, his wife, and the last D u k e Charles Frederick. The gold brocade above the cere.eloth, and the rings from the corpses themselves, the gold of the epaulettes, and indeed whatever was valuable, had been carried off. It was evident that several persons had been concerned in this robbery of the illustrious dead, and the whole town is moved w.th the greatest indig nation. The Arrogant, 46, screw, Captain Yelverton, hauled into th© basin, at Portsmouth, yesterday, and will go into No. 2 Dock, for examination and to repair defects. The Dragon, 6, paddle, Captain Willcox, left Cro marty, Jan. 3, for Leith. The Geyser, 6, paddle, Commander Roderick Dew, will proceed in a day or two from Portsmouth, to assist in navigating the new Royal yacht to that port. Th 3 Bellona, transport, has sailed from Devonport with victualling stores for Malta. Thu Black Prince, transport, having received a supply of fuel at Falmouth on. Thursday, proceeded to the Crimea. _ _ _ The crew of the Majestic wore yesterday paid down to the 31st of October, and they have been granted 18 clear days' leave, allowing four days additional for going to and returning from their respective homes. The crew of the Amphion are to be paid down on Monday next, when they will be granted leave of ab sence. APPOINTMENTS. Captain—E. C. T.

ARRIVAL OF THE DESPERATE. Yesterday, at 11.30 a.m., the Desperate screw steam ship, Captain E. C. T. D'Eyncourt, arrived at Sheerness from Hull. She left Hull rit 8 a.m. on the 4th inst., with two boilers only under steam power, making a passage of 271 hours, going on an average rate of 7i knots per hour, with a maximum pressure en her two boilers of 71lb. on the squalro inch, with 30 revolutions per minute ; multiple of 2do :cimal 2. The machinery of this ship has not required any (except her own engi neer's department) attentiom for the last 20 months. During the capture of Boma rsund there were seven sail of the line left at Nargen tEiland, to watch the Russian fleets in Helsingfors and Cranstadt harbours. The Des perate, in company with the Imp6rieuse, proceeded to Cronstadt to reconnoitre there, in which duty the Despe rate was most awkwardly placed between the Russian fleets of Helsingfors and (.'ronstadt. During this ser vice a continual code of signals by guns was kept up by the Russians, and 'telegraphic communications were being carried on .on bhore, on both sides of the gulph, apparently advising of their approach. The Desperate went within h f miles of Cronstadt, which enabled her to count 10 sail of the line, besides frigates. On the 28th of July she returned and cruised off Hel singfors. A few days afte yards she was ordered up off Hovland to reconnoitre ; silo was while there discovered by the Russian fleet. A Paissian 18-gun frigate steamed out of harbour from Helsi n gfors for the purpose of cut ting off the Despond. This move was fortunately ob served by the Euryalus, jits t in the dusk of the evening. She immediately proceeded for the entrance of the har bour of Helsingfors, which the Russian steam frigate had just left. Innediat , Ay the Russian frigate sighted the Euryalus she put down helm and made the best of her way for the harbour again, blowing off steam all the way. The Euryalus unfortainately, while engaged in this most essential service, strut :k on a sunken rock, not laid down in the Admiralty cLarts, where she remained for six hours, when she got off by starting the water out of her tanks. TROOPS AND TRANS PORTS FOR THE BLACK ;;EA. Detachments of the 19 th, 38th, and 44th Regiments are ordered to leave Wali n er on Thursday, to proceed to Southampton, for embra kation on board the General Screw Navigation Compa.ny's screw steam-ship Crcesus (Captain J. Vine Hall), t;(, join the service companies at Sebastopol. The following officers will accompany the troops, viz. :—Lieut. F;aldwin of the 19th; Captain Daniels and Lieut. Snell of the 38th ; but we believe no officer of the 44th will r iroceed with the detachment of that regiment. The Bahiana, steam-tr ansport, 1,529 tons, No. 160, is appointed to leave Live Irpool this day, with the 82d Regiment, for Corfu, fro in whence she will proceed to the Crimea, with the Ist battalion of the 71st Regiment, consisting of about 436 num. The Cochrane, screw-si;eamer, 425 tons, has been en gaged as a regular transport for three months certain, and-has bean approprialed for the conveyance to the East of following st(irias—viz., for the army in the East, 42 tons of shot and shell, 20 tons of ammunition, and 11 tons of horse shoe a.. For the Black Sea fleet, 35 tons of ball cartridges, shut out of the Kangaroo, and for Scutari, 50 tons of ball cartridges and 25 tons of rifle muskets. She will be fill ed up with warm clothing, and will be ready to commenc4 loading at Deptford in a few I days. Her number is 176.. The Marley Hill, steam.- transport, No. 169, and Lady Eglinton, steam-transport, 165, both left the Downs on the 4th for Constantinople The loading of the Saladin with stores and wooden huts for the Freme.h army in the East having been completed, that ship, in tow of the steamer William M'Cormick, will leave ;Southampton this morning. The Saladin has on board Trio huts complete, each capable of sheltering 30 men, also 1,000 barrels of pork, 200 puncheons of rum, and other stores. The William M'Corrnick, besides 420 tons of coals, takes out 300 barrels of pork. The total number of wooden barracks to be &hipped from Southampton is 1,800, and the contract price is 211. each. They have all been provided by Mr. Potter, of Glocester. It ap pears that the delay in despatching these much-desired conveniences for the army has not arisen at Southamp ton, nor is it the fault of the contractor, but it has been caused by the arrangements necessary for loading the ships, some of them nof having; full crews, and tha narrowness of the hatohways, &c., rendered stowage difficult. It has also been deemed indispensable for each ship to have her qutpta of the barracks entirely THE QUEEN'S NEW YACHT. Lucifer, paddle, having filled up with jury -masts and spars and rigging for the Queen's new yacht, to be named Victoria and Albert, and net Windsor Castle, will proceed from Portsmouth to Pembroke to-day, with the Hon. Lieutenant Foley, Mr. Aylen, master of the Queen's yacht, s lieutenant, and 20 men, belonging to the Ajax, and in all 120 sailers and riggers. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SHIPS OF WAR.

One officer, on• serjeant, and 60 men of the depot of the 34th Regiment in Plymouth Citadel received orders on Thursday to hold themselves in readiness to join the head-quarters in the Crimea. We regret to announce the death of Captain W. R. Newport Campbell, of the sth Dragoon Guards, which took place at Scutari on the 23d December. Captain Campbell served with the 9th Lancers in the battle of Punaiar during the Sutlej campaign of 1846, and the campaign on the Sutlej under Lord Gough, including the battles of Chillianwallah and Goozerat. Captain Campbell had a medal for Sobraon, and one with clasps for Chillianwallah and Goozerat. The death of Lieutenant and Adjutant Warren, of the 55th, is reported to have taken place at Scutari on the 23d ult. ; he was five years in the service, and was pro moted to a company in last Friday's Gazette. THE INTERIOR OF ST. GEORGES HALL, LIVERPOOL. The elaborate finishings of the interior have been de signed by Professor Cockerell, and very arduous and responsible, no doubt, has it been felt to handle a frame work so nobly designed ; and great might well be the apprehension that its grace and, nobility might suffer under any hands short of that of the original master himself, Mr. Elnies. The ceiling, according to the ap parent system of the Romans, is covered, like a firma ment, with a multitude of appropriate detail to give space and magnitude to the whole. The provincial armo rial bearings, and the symbols appropriate to navigation, the municipal and legal purposes of the structure have been largely employed. These have been circumscribedto the crowns of the side-groaning arches, and not carried down to the springing of the arched vault, as is commonly the case. The whole proportion is thereby heightened, and the parallelogram of the ceiling materially elon gated. The six pendentives are adorned with symbolical figures, taken from Raffaelle's composition in the Vati can, of Temperance, Prudence, Art, Science, Justice, and Fortitude, and in the paving under these are in scriptions illustrative of each of these virtues. A rich decoration of galleries, composed of Irish black marble, Derbj-shire spar bullesters, and twenty-four Irish green niches adorn the lower part of the hall, the walls being decorated with slabs of various British marbles. Two of those niches are already occupied by illustrious tenan ts, Sir R. Peel and George Stephenson. The six doors are very magnificent, and surpass anything of the sort yet executed in England. The jambs are in solid' grey granite, in single pieces, with cornices carved in Portl and stone ; the gates themselves are of bronze and brass,, highly elaborated. Among these are ten chan delier e, of great magnificence in size, materials, and desk' ; they ara seven feet in diameter, with 140 lights each, in the form of stars. The paving, executed by Mint on, after designs by Mr. Cockerel], Mr. Gruner, and . Ar. Stevens, unexampled in' tesselated workman. ship. The drawings of the Tritons and Sea-ny mp h s in red and yellow, is highly classical, spirited, and beau tiful. A regulation of some interest in the direction of this structure has been vigorously observed in every de tail, iaamely, that none but British materials and British work xnanship shouha enter into the work. The organ, an in astrument of great compass and magnificence, has long been a vexed question , as impairing the perspective of the Hall and Nat Prius Court ; and its position in this regard must ever be lamented ; but after extended delib s ration, and the best advice on accoustics and mu sical 'convenience, it was finally decided to be placed at the niorth end of the hall. Pains have been taken by its form .and structure, to play into the lines and perspec tive nd uses of that part of the hall. The area in the east f ront together with the niches in the hall, afford spat. and position for all the illustrious of our land, and willi!urnish, in the growth of time, a museum of art and of re tiown of the utmost historical interest. P.a RIS EXHIBITION.--The Senate of Hamburg bas just ; appointed Herr Geffhen, a doctor of civil law, and snr, )tary of legation for the free towns at Paris, to be their• commissioner at the " Universal Exhibition." P. A NMENT OF CHINESE CUSTOMS DUTIES AT SHANG HAI. - —Yesterday (Friday) deputations from the Man ches t er Commercial Association, and Manchester Cham ber oaf Commerce, had an interview with Lord Claren don,, at the Foreign office, relative to the question of en fore end security and payment of Chinese customs duties at : Eilianghai. His lordship received the deputation mo: rt graciously, and assured them that instructions war e sent out to extinguish all securities given for the payment of duties to February last, and that the other portion of the question (payment between Fel )ruary and July) was under the consideration of the law • officers of the Crown, and would be settled as soon as possible. The interview lasted an hour. ['HE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB have unanimously Yo' md the sum of 50/. to the Patriotic Fund. It appears from the published traffic returns of rail ways in the United Kingdom for the year 1854 that they amounted to 18,541,8551. on 7,300 miles of rail way, being at the rate of 2,604/. per mile. In addition to the published returns, there were receipts upon 792 miles of railway amounting to about 1,458,6701., which, with the above sum of 18,541,8551., makes a total of 20,000,5251., as the traffic receipts for railways in the -United Kingdom in 1854- The length of line open for traffic at the end of the year was about 8,028 miles, the traffic receipts on the whole being at the rate of 2,4911. The cost of construction amounted to 273,760,0001., being at the rate of 32,0201. per mile. The total receipts on 7,700 miles in 1853 amounted to 17,920,5301., show ing an increase in favour of 1854 of 2,079,9951., or above 11 per cent. This is a very satisfactory result, and would have been attended with more beneficial conse quences to the shareholders had not the outlay of capi tal also increased, the increase of capital having been about 10,000,0001. during the year. The working ex penses, rates; and taxes amount to about 47' per cent. of the whole, or 9,400,000 f., leaving 10,600,000/. for dividends on preference shares and loans and divi dends on the ordinary capital. The profit on the working would yield a dividend on the outlay o f a b ou t n. per cent., which shows an improvement on the• average of former years. The average for 1853 was a trifle more than 3i per cent., and in 1852 about 31 per cent. The increase of the traffic has been satisfactory and progressive. In 1843 it amounted to 500,8741. over the preceding year ; in 1844 to 768,3371. ; in 1845 to 1,058,8421. ; in 1846 to 1,020,6501.; in 1847 to 1,285,97/. ; in 1848 to 1,109,335/. ; in 1849 to 930,8081. ; in 1850 to 1,744,161/. ; inlBsl t 01,809,923/.; in 1852 to 620,402/. ; in 1853 to 2,040,220/. ; and in 1854 to 2,079,9951. over the preceding year. Should the traffic continue to increase, and the expenditure on capital account be restricted to providing the neces sary accommodation for the increasing traffic, the po sition of railway property must gradually improve. The published traffic returns of railways in 1843 amounted to 4,843,0001., yielding an average receipt of 3,0451. per mile ; and in 1854 to 18,541,0001., yield ing an average receipt of 2,6041. per mile. The capital expended on those lines up to July, 1843, amounted to 57,635,1001., and in 1854 on the lines in question to 255,610,0001., showing an increase in the annual traffic of 13,693,0001., and in the capital expended of 197,974,900/. The mileage has increased during that period from 2,000 miles to 8,000 miles, and the average/ cost per Milo remained about the came, varying from 34,0001. to 35,000/. per mile. TIIE VALOROUS AT SEBASTOPOL. An officer of her Majesty's steamer Valorous, Capt. Buckle (son of Admiral Buckle, of Bath), gives the fol. lowing description of the engagement with the Russian steamer, which lately came out of Sebastopol :—" On the afternoon of the 6th ult. we were at anchor in a bay called Kamiesh (which is about four miles to the south. ward of Sebastopol, and just inside Chersonese Point), with our boats out, getting bread from a transport. At 2 p.m. two large Russian steamers came suddenly out of the harbour Sebastopol, and commenced a heavy fire of shot and shell on two small French steamers at anchor in a creek about two 'Tulles distant from us), which were landing provisions for the camp. We luckily had our steam up, and slipped our cable, and ran for them, in hopes of cutting theta off before they could get inside the forts. They stood on for some time to meet us, and when we were about a thousand yards from them we exchanged several shot and shell ; they, finding us closing them, up helm and ran full speed fur the harbour ; we folioß ed them to within eight hundred yards of the batteries, where we w ere evidently not exp ec t e d ; an d, l uc h y indeed it was for us, as nearly all the shot and shell which were fired were discharged from five heavy batteries at the same time. They all tell over us. Had we been two hundred yards further hut, our small craft must have been sunk. The Russian steamers got into pert, and we made the best of our way out, having perfectly succeeded is driving the enemy in, he being two cowardly to stand out and engage us in proper style, which, if he had done, we have hll the vanity to think that be would have been astern of us now, with the Union Jack floating over the Russian ensign. Now, we ought to be truly thankful that, amidst the shower of shot and shell on both sides of us, not a life was lost, nor a man on board our vessel touched. The damage done to the ship is very small ; a part of the main rigging (two foremost shrouds) was also cut through, as also were several rope% and one shot went through the jack in the ensign. The ship's side is struck in a few places by shell and rifle bullets. Our captain behaved (as he always does) in the most gallant manner possible, being on the paddle-box the whole time. This is the fifth time we have been in action with the batteries (in the Baltic four times; and here once), and have experienced no casualties. We are one of the guard ships off the mouth of the harbour of Sebastopol, looking out for the enemy coming out, as well as for fire ships."—Bath Chronicle. MR.
