I co! Mk - t ( ' • ""j 4 r. - it GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. ("PHIS DAY.) The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the propriz tors of this company was held this day; Mr. B Denison, M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : " Since the last half-yearly ordinary meeting of the Great Northern Railway Company, 'held on the 23d February last, the sanction of Parliament has been obtained to the Aim nlrnent and Deviation Bill sub mitted to an extraordinary meeting on that day. "In accordance with the report of the directors at the meeting of the 23d February, the line then at work from Peterborough to Lincoln was, on Easter Monday last, further opened for traffic to Gains borough ; and in the first week of September, trains will commence running between Lincolnshire and Yorkshire by Retford and Doncaster. " At the same period the Great Northern trains will be enabled to run on to Wakefield, and also by Methley to Leeds, under agreements with the com panies to whom belong the intervening lines, and railway communication will be completed between Peterborough, by Lincoln, Guineborough, Retford, and Doncaster, and all parts of Yorkshire ; also to the north of England and Scotland, through Leeds, by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, which has been at work for some weeks past, joining, at Thirsk, the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway. " the works on the Junction line of three to four miles, from Knottingley to Burton Salmon, by the York and North Midland Company, are in active progress, and it is expected will be finished early in Spring; and when this junction is completed, the Great Northern trains will run to and from York, under the agreement with that company. "On the continuous communication opening be tween Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, the directors feel confident that the traffic, hitherto only local, and con fined to Lincolnshire, and consequently of small amount, will steadily and largely increase. " Ile revenue statement annexed gives the result of traffic to 30th June last. " The report of the engineer trinexcd describes fally the general state of the works; and, judging from that report, the directors have no reason to doubt that the line from London to Peterborough will be open for traffic in the course of next autumn. " With respect to the portion of the line from Peterborough north towards Newark and Retford, the directors have to state that the survey and work ing plans have been completed, and that they are about to let the works from Corby by Grantham to /Toughen], a distance of fifteen miles, on which the works are heavy, and will require nearly double the tim e to complete that will be necessary for the remainder. " The measure authorised by the resolutions of the extraordinary general meeting of the ith of June fait, of forfeiting the shares on which there was a large amount of calls in arrear, and issuing in lieu five per cent. preferenceicri ) shares of 121. 10s. each to an equal amount of capital, has been attended with Complete success, and will, without doubt, supply the defi c i ency cause d by those arrears, confirming the directors in their opinion that it will not be necessary to make any further call on the registered shares during the present year; and by a clause in the Great Northern Railway Acts Amendment Act, 1849,' which received the Royal Assent on the 31st July, Parliament has sanctioned the issue of those shares. " The same extraordinary meeting authorised also the conversion of the 30,000 London and York Ex tension scrip shares of 251. each, into the same kind of Preference shares of 121. lOs. cash; but it may be remembered there was some opposition manifested, on the ground that it was giving an undue advantage to the holders of the London and York Extension Scrip shares at the cost of the registered shareholders. " The result, however, shows that the cption then given to convert those shares has not been generally considered an advantage, for about 15,000 Lor.don and York Extension Scrip still remain in the hands of the public. These are in course of being paid off at 20s. each, the balance unexpended of the deposit, including interest, after payment of the Parliamentary expenses in respect of the Extension Bills and Acts. " About 4,000 of these London and York Exten sion Scrip, under arrangements arising out of the Capitals of the Direct Northern and the London and York reverted to and have since been held by the . company, making with the 15,000 he!d by the public, 19 ) 000 disposable as preference shares, under the resolutions of the extraordinary general meeting of 7th June last. "There are also about 6,000 unappropriated preference shares remaining after the allotment of those issued in lieu of the shares forfeited 7th June. These, with the 19,000 above mentioned, form a total of about 25.000 of the five per cent. perpetual preference shares of 121. 10s. each, which, under the 7th June last, the directors are empowered to dispose of at their discretion. "These preference shares at present bear a pre mium of about 255. cn the price (101.) at.which it was resolved they should be issued. "The directors intend, therefore, to give to the re gistered proprietors of this date, who have paid all calls on their shares, the option of taking these 25,000 five per cent. preference shares, of 12s. 10s. each, upon the payment of 101 10s. per share. The first instal ment on account thereof, amounting to 51. 10s., to be Paid on or before 10th of September next, and it' not then paid, the allotment to be cancelled, and all right and title to the shares from that date absolutely to cease; a further payment of 21. 103. per share to be Made on or before 31st October, and a final payment of 2/. 10s. per share to be made on or before 31st becember. This further allotment will be immediately made at the rate of one preference share to eight re gistered, or 16 A or B shares ; but, to compensate for the fractions withheld at the original allotment, at least one preference share will be allotted to each pro.. prietor. " The first instalment of Si. 10s. being paid, these preference shares become in all respects entitled to the same privileges, and subject to the same conditions, as the original issue, under the resolutions of the 7th June. Upon the subject of the balance. sheet and the ac counts appended, and which were sent to the proprie tors some days since, the auditors, Mr. Cattley and Mr. Chapman, have made a special report, to which the directors beg to call the attention of the pro prietors." The revenue statement, commencing Ist of March, 1848 (the partial opening of the East Lincolnshire line), ending the 30th of June, 1849, showed— Dr. X s. d.

The au ditors' report stated that the capital and traffic ac counts were kept separate, and that " the simplicity ovith whi c h th e books are kept would render them intelligible to any shareholder who would wish to exercise his privilege of examining them." The Cuataman tr efly addressed the meeting, and having commented on various portions of the report, tuoved its odnption. Upon Ibis a pro!orged discussion ensued. Mr- GRAHAME FILTCHINSON moved an amendment to the effect that the works on the town's line be proceeded with with all possible expelition, and also that portion of the line between Askerne and Yolk be i mmediately completed. Air. WALTER seconded the amendment, and con tended that many of the stations were far too near each other, and impressed upon the directors the great necessity th at ex i ste d f or prac ti s i n g the most rigid economy, otherwise the line would never be Worth anything. After a few words from Mr. GrovEs, who opposcd itaAnst.k erne branch, a s th e l oca l t ra ffi c was inSig- irtin SIT 14 9 LONDON' ATU'RDAY! EVENING, AUGUST 11, 1840, afternoon of the SI, fell with their whole force upon the Imperialists stationed on the right bank of the river. whose numbers had been seriously diminished by flying troops, &c., having been sent out. The Brigade Birco, which was posted with five it:complete bat , allions between Mocsa end Pusta Herltaly, obstinately resisted the insurgents, who with considerably superior forces, made a most impetuous attack. General Csorich cn learning this, immediately despatched reinforcements of all three arms to the right hank of the Danube. The enemy had, however, taken advan tage of his superiority of numbers to turn the right flank and threaten the rear of Barco's brigade. The Im perial troops were, therefore, obliged to retreat to the left bank of the river, which, notwithstanding the unfavorable formation of the' terrain,' was accomplished in good order. As the commanding position of the enemy's batteries rendered it impossible to take away the pontoon bridge, a couple of the boats were burned. (This is probably the bridge which had been thrown across the Danube at Loved, a small place a little to the west of Atsh.) Ge neral Csorich:is unable to send in a statement of his loss, as the caimonade stil continued on the banks of the Danube, while his report was sent off. In consequence of what has t a k en pl ace t h e di rect com munication be tween Rada and Atsh is interrupted."

The Russians and Austrians at Galati vi ere preparing to take flight, and it was even ru moured that another corps of 10,000 men, under General Bern, had entered Moldavia. The following is an extract from a private letter received this morning from 011nautz : .. "I was told that the Emperor of Austria said several times at the Privy Council, that he would be willing to treat with the Hun garians ; and yesterday, at the Schoenbrunn Palace, he said so before his mother, the Archduchess Sophia. She was very angry with the Emperor about his peaceable ideas, and resorted to very angry words. The Emperor got in a rage at such unjust remarks, and took his sword, broke it and placed it at her feet, upon which his mother was so exasperated that she slapped his face." Mr. licours complained that Mr. Baxter, the so licitor, had received fir usanes more than he should ; that the taxations of his cots vas mere folly, and suggested the appointment of a law clerk at salary. In reply to a shareholder, the CLIAIRMAN stated that it was not the intention of the directors to make the line from King's Cross to the Regent's Canal this year. The CIIAIRNIAN having replied, the report was adopted, and the directors fully concurring in tl.at portion of the amendment which related to construction of the town's line, but opposing the latter portion, The meeting then broke up, after passing a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors.

FRANCE. During the sitting of the French Legislative As sembly yesterday the order of the day for discussion was the application of the Attorney-General of the Court of Appeal of Besancon, for leave to prosecute two representatives, Messrs. Sommier and Richardet, for the publication of seditious articles in the Demo cratie Jurassienne, of which the latter is editor. M. Sommier said that the prosecution was neither sincere nor serious ; it was dictated by blitid passion. Toe brticlt-s hld appeared on the 25th March and 29th April, ar:d since then he and his colleague had been absolved by the suffrages of 40,000 citizens. Why did justice wait four and five months to summon them to irs bar ? The Assembly would act wisely by r-jetting a demand which was inspired by poli tic 1 passion, and not by justice. M. Odilon Berrot, President of the Council, said that whatever was his respect for the right of defence, he could not allow magistrates invested with uni versal esteem to be insulted. The legislative power, he added, had no right to arrest the course of justice by refusing to grant the demand of the Attorney- General. M. Richardet, who followed, reminded the Assem bly that on the 22d of June last M. Odilon Barrot had addressed a circular to his Attorneys• General, in which he told them that the opportunity was favour able and decisive, and from that moment a universal chorus of hatred and proscription arose all over the Republic.—(Laughter.) The first Christians had been persecuted.—(Laughter.) They might laugh, but he spoke for the country, which listened to him. The per secutors ultimately succumbed, and the persecuted triumphed. The persecuted had in turn become persecutors, and experienced the same fate. He was a Revolutionist, and had a right to stigmatize the conduct of the Reactionists. They had, during the last thirty-three years, expended thirty-three budgets, amounted to 20,000,000,000, not a single million of which was applied to relieve the people.— (Murmurs.) They had employed their innumerable armies during that interval to degrade national honour.—(Loud murmurs.) He knew the fate reserved to the real Republicans, to escape which they had no other alternative left than, like Socrates, to drink the hemlock. M. Detours observed, that his political friends had no intention to insult the magistrates, by inviting the Assembly scrupulously to examine an application to prosecute two representatives of the people. M.: Odilon Barrot declared that the magistrate in question had accomplished an imperious duty, com manded by the laws of the country. " Why," exclaimed a Member of the Left, "Did he wait so long ?" " There had been no 13th of June at the time."— (Loud cries on tha Left.) M. Dariste, reporter of the committee, begged leave to read passages from the incriminated articles. The ta ' Left clamorously demanded that they be read by M. Somrnier ; but the Assembly, on being consulted, decided in the negative. M. Dariste then read the article of the 25th of March, headed " Restoration of the Political Scaffold." " They have," it says, "raised the guillotine as a prelude to the restoration of monarchy, for one is the consequence of the other. The hangman is the twin brother of the King, his constant companion, and when the King makes his appearance one Inay Le certain that the hangman is not far off. The people, by suppressing the guillotine, knocked off the second head of the monarchical hydra; and when the two heads fell (the assassin of General Brea), where was the President ? He was resting from the fatigues of the ball of the night before, and recruiting strength for the ball of the next night. What was it to him? Had he not his 600,000 f. a year to spend ? (" That is true," exclaimed M. Gastier.) Unfortunately for the interrupter, M. Pierre Bonaparte was seated on the bench immediately under him. On hearing the interruption the latter rose, and, turning towards M. Gastier, struck him in the lace. _ _ _ This incident occasioned the greatest confusion in the hall. M. Pierre Bonaparte was surrounded and actually carried off by his friends. M. Gastier, on the other hand, was with difficulty prevented from following him by his colleagues of the Left, one of whom charitably offered him a cane. The tumult continuing, M. Dupla put on his hat, and the sitting was suspended. When silence was restored M. Dupin said that a circumstance had occurred within the interior of the hall, which came under the provisions Gf the 120th, 121st, and 122 d articles of the regulations of the Assembly. One of the Members had provoked a colleague, who unfortunately had so far forgotten himself as to strike him. The Assembly might wish to appoint a committee to inquire into the facts, or apply to their two colleagues the penal enactments of the 120th article which pronounced censure with temporary exclusion.—(Cries from the Left, "There was no provocation.") At this moment M. Pierre Bonaparte re entered the hall, and, having ascended the tribune, said : I beg pardon from the Assembly and deeply regret a moment of vivacity, which was excited by the most violent and personal provocation.—(Bravos on the Right.) I hope the Assembly will not follow the affair t.ny further. It will be settled elsewhere. M. Odilon Barrot observed that the police of the hall exclusively belonged to the President and the bureau, but he assured the Assembly that no later than to-morrow judicial proceedings would be taken. The President then announced that he had written to the Attorney General to commence proceedings. M. Gastier then ascended the tribune with a paper in his hand, and, after gesticulating awhile, said, " I have been in the face of the entire Assembly the ob ject of an insult, which no man Here M Odilon Barrot interrupted him, saying, that the debate could not continue, after the measures _ _ _ _ adopted by the President, but, on being told that M. Gastier had also the right of justifying himself, he did not insist, M. Gastier said, that he had been the object of an insult which every man would have resented if his aggressor had not disappeared. He was consequently obliged to pocket the insult, justified on his part by no provocation, nor motive, or pretext. He did not even know M. Pierre Bonaparte. To judge from the sort of approbation given by the majority to M. Bo naparte's explanation, he (M. Gastier) was afraid that they considered him the aggressor. M. Dui i t obzerved that the moment he had heard of the incident he had ordered both parties to quit the hall. This statement elicited another explosion on the Left, and M. Dupin, being unable to re establish si lence, again covered himself and invited the Assembly to adjourn to the bureaux. In a few minutes the hall was completely cleared. It would appear from the above statement that M. Pierre Bonaparte consid, rs it an insult to state that the President receives 600,000 f. a-year. The Presi dent is certainly the wiser man of the two. He pockets the insult, while his cousin resents. The conduct of M. Dupin is so glaringly partial, that all tlie world must be convinced that anything like free discussion under such a President, or in such an Assembly, must be impossible. M. Pierre Bona parte has recourse to a piece of blackguard pot-house violence, which is receivediwith shouts of approbation by the gentlemen par excellence, and M. Dupin apo logies for the wsaulter, as having, unfortunately, forgotten himself, and asks the Assembly to punish the victim of the assault. AUSTRIA.

At the Countess of Glengall's dinner party yesterday, at Harriet Lodge, were the Duke of Beaufort, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, Lord and Lady Newport, and a large party of fashionables. The Wyvern is the only yacht at present entered for Prince Albere.Cup. Should no others enter before twelve o'clock to-night, the plate will be sailed for by second class schooners (under 140 tuns), when we expect some good ones will enter, and a good day's sport is antici pated on the 15th. The dinner is to take place on the 16th, and on the 17th her Majesty's Plate, value 100 guineas, will be sailed for by yachts under 75 tons. Robson is engaged to light up the subject in the evening with one of his most splendid displays of fireworks on shore and afloat. We have had a very considerable addition to our fashionable visitors within the last few days. Still not more than half our houses are occupied, arid this though the rents have been reduced to little more than half what they were last year. The death of the old Commodore was, we fear, a death-blow to yacht ing. The old Earl was the cord that bound the mem bers together, and the black-balling system the rock on which the squadron will, it is probable at no very dis tant period, break up. They can hardly now get up a friendly dinner; and as for a ball as of old, it is quite out of the question, the ladies have lost their charms— yachtsmen are no longer ladies' men. DEATH FROM POISON.—Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Grave Maurice public-house, Whitechapel, on the body of Mr. J. J. Watts, aged 66, one of the parochial surgeons of St. George's-in the-East, who died in Whitechapel work house from the effects of poison. It appeared that on Tuesday night last the deceased, who for some weeks had been absent from his parochial duties, and who had in consequence been suspended, accompanied by a woman of the name of Sarah Craig, engaged a bed at the Britannia coffee-house Whitechapel-road ; both he and his companion appeared in good health and perfectly sober. On Wednesday morning the servant girl knocked at the door of their apartment, and hearing a moaning within, acquainted her mistress, who upon entering the room, which was in great disorder and covered with the discharge of vomiting, discovered Mr. J. J. Watts and the woman lying on the bed in a dying state. Mr. J. J. Watts directed her to send for his partner, Mr. Breaths ater, of Cannon street, and said he would have no other medical man. Mr. Broadwater was from home when first sent for, but on his return went to the deceased who, with the woman, suffered much pain, and both were vomiting. Mr. Blackman, a surgeon, and Dr. Allison also attended, and the sufferers were removed to White chapel workhouse, where the attack was at first taken to be one of cholera, and treated as such. Mr. J. J. Watts died on Thursday afternoon. It further ap peared, from the examination cf the woman (who still remains in a dangerous state at the workhouse), that the deceased had obtained some medicine at a chi mist's at Mile-end, and that she had got some " stuff" at an• other chymists; that they had both been suffering from the want of the common necessaries ot life; and that the deceased had given her three glasses of a liquid, which she drank, and afterwards became very ill. A paper of powders, containing corrosive sublimate was found in the deceased's clothes. On a post mortem examination traces of mineral poison were found in the stomach and intes tines of deceased. The jury, under the advice ot the Coroner, returned an open verdict, " That the deceased died from the effect of poison; but how, or in what manner administered, or whether taken by the deceased, or otherwise, there was not sufficient evidence for them to say." DOOR KNOD COMPOSITION..--Mr. John Harrison, Stillwater, Saratoga county, New York, has patented an improvement consisting in tho compounding of the following materials, calcined, pulverized, and ground, viz. :—bone, 10 parts ; black flint, 4 parts_ ,- crys tal felspar, 10 parts ; granite, 10 part s ; Vermont white sand, 10 parts; China clay, 11 parts; chromate of potash, 1 part; litbarge, 1 part; antimony, 1 part; chrome green, 1 part; oxide of iron, 3 parts; oxide of tin, 1 part; oxide of zinc, 1 part; oxide of manganese, 4 part.

OMNIBUS ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held on Thursday before Mr. Riggs, at the King's Head, Lower Edmonton, on the body of Mr. Richard Wonder, aged 62, an omnibus proprietor, who was killed under the fol lowing circumstances:— It appeared that on Tuesday morning last, at 11 o'clock, the omnibus which was then due for London was about to start from Lower Edmon- ton, when the deceased said he would drive it up to town. On reaching Stamford-hill the omnibus was stopped, and a lady alighted, who was followed by the conductor carrying her box. During the absence of the conductor, another lady approached the omnibus, and the deceased handed the reins to one of the outside passengers. He descended from the box, and, after letting the passenger in, slammed the door, and the horses instantly started forward. They were pulled back by the passenger who had the reins, and the sudden check caused the animals to fall back heavily upon the omnibus. The for ce was so grea t that the top of the pole instantly broke off, and the horses commenced pl u nging in a most fearful manner. The deceased immediately went in front of them, and caught the reins of the off-side horse and endeavoured to quiet them, but without success. They still kept kicking and plunging, and dragged the deceased some distance along the ground, when he suddenly relin quished his hold and fell forward between their legs upon his face. The horses finding themselves free im mediately started forwards, and both the off wheels of the vehicle passed over his head and back. The horses, after running along the r oad with considerable speed, were stopped without doing any further damage, with the exception that the passengers were t err ibl y a l arme d, and one gentleman jumped off the . . box, but fortunately escaped without receiving any . 119nry. Th e de ce a s ed i was picked up in a state of nsensibility. Mr. Hammond, a surgeon, attended, and prononneed life to he quite ex tinct, and said there was no doubt he was killed on the spot. Verdict—Accidental Death. PLAN FOR DRAINAGE OF TIIE METROPOLIS.— Mr. Bardwell has forwarded a communication on the subject of a plan laid by . him bef ore t h e C om missioners at their first sittings.

The royal cortege consisted of four open carriages, each drawn by four horses. In the first carriage were seated the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and Lord and Lady Clarendon. In the second, the Countess of Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting ; the Hon. Miss Dawson, Maid oHonour ; Sir G. Grey, and Earl Fortescue. The third contained the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir James Clarke, Mr. G. E. Anson, and the Master of the Horse. In the last carriage were the Hon. Colonel Alexander Gordon, r. Corry Connellan, Colonel C. Phipps, and dr. Charles Villiers. A troop of Lancers formed the escort. The royal tort ge left the Phcenix-park, at twelve o'clock, and passed through Colonel White's private gate along the Woodlands to Carton. Many parts of the route were decorated with triumphal arches, flags, laurels, and wreaths. Crowds of well dressed persons had collected, anxious to pay yet another tri bute of homage to the Queen. They testified their ardent loyalty by the most energetic plaudits. The royal cortege reached Carton at ten minutes after one. The grounds of the ducal mansion were thrown open to the public, and its beautiful parterres were crowded with ladies, gentlemen, and many of the poorer classes. The Queen and Prince Albert immediately presented themselves on the terrace, and on being recognised by the multitude were loudly and most enthusiastically cheered. Two regimental bands were stationed on the terrace and played favourite airs. The royal standard floated from the roof of the mansion, and marquees were erected on the terrace, in which an elegant luncheon was laid out. The Queen remained at Carton about an hour, and then returned to Phoenix-park. DEPARTURE FOR BELFAST. At half-past six o'clock her Majesty, with Prince Albert and the juvenile members of the Royal Family, attended by Lord and Lady Clarendon and Sir in two Grey, proceeded from the Vice-regal Lodge two royal open carriages and three close car riages, belonging to his Excellency, for the railway station in LV estland-row. They were most voci ferously and enthusiastically cheered, and on taking their places in the railway carriages an express engine conveyed them to Kingstown. The close of her Majesty's visit was as brilliant as its commencement. Hundreds of thousands witnessed her progress to Kingstown, and were present at the embarkation. The cheers which bade her good speed, the cries for a happy return, were uttered with the most touching fervour, and her Majesty seemed to feel and acknowledge the affection of her subjects. The squadron, with the usual royal salutes and yards all manned, got under weigh at a quarter before seven o'clock, and with a light breeze proceeded towards Belfast. Kingstown, to the end of the pier, was crowded to suffocation. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES.—FRIDAY. Sweepstakes of 5 Soya. each, 2 ft, with a purse of 30 soya. added. Bristol mile.

INDEPENDENCE A meeting was held last Sloane-square, for the purpo, pathy with the struggle of th... its constitutional rights and privileges. 11.1 r. FIELD presided, and, after a few preliminary observations tending to show that the cause of Hun gary was the cause of liberty and progression all over the world, called upon Mr. C. NICHOLLS, who proposed the first resolu tion. It was to the following effect : " That this meeting, while viewing with indigna tion and sorruw the effusion by the barbaric hordes of Austria and Russia of the blood of our Hungarian brethren, yet looks with delight, admiration, and sympathy upon the heroic determination manifested by them in their present struggle for independence and the establisnment of democratic institutions, and hereby affirms them to have deserved well of huma nity therefore." In comparing the successes of democracy upon the continent with the victories of despotism, he said, they could not fail coming to the conclusion, that while democracy had advanced despotism bad been crushed, and that the power of despots was now confined with in very narrow limits as compared with forme! . years. Never had greater magnanimity and moderation been shown to opponents and enemies than that evinced by the leaders of modern democracy, Kossuth and Mazzini ; but what did they see on the part of those who attempted to olush every effort of freedom, but a brute cruelty which slaughtered, without distinction, men, women, nod children, for After the simplest exhibition of popular feeling ? Af alluding to the noble - and dignified manmckr in which the Hungarians had withstood their opp:essors, he concluded by quoting an expression from Kossuth, that he who helped himself was of God helped, and that however injustice and lies might succeed for a while, they would at last defeat themselves. Mr. Haney Nrcnom.s, in seconding the resolu tion, said it was their duty, as men professing to be free, to show aristocrats and autocrats that if they combined to crush freedom, freedom would com bine its forces to crush them.—(Cheers.) If the free nations of the world had remonstrated before at the interference of Austria and Russia, there would be no necessity now to call meetings to show that the sympathy of England went with the Hungarians; but, as that had not been done, it became their duty indig nantly to denounce the atrocities which had been committed by those two tyrannical powers—for the Hungarian people counted upon the aid of every nation seeking for freedom.—(Cheers.) The resolution being put, was carried unanimously. Mr. ALFRED GOODWILL moved—" That this meet ing hereby calls upon her Majesty's Government at once to recognise the independence of the Hungarian Republic, to demand of the Cabinets of St. Peters burgh and Vienna the immediate withdrawal of their troops from that country, and, in the event of their refusing compliance, to declare war against them." He said he was not actuated in moving this resolution by any inherent love for war; he was convinced of the evils of it ; but there were worse evils than war, and greater good sometimes than peace. If a person saw a man attacked in the street by thieves and murderers, and looked on without interfering to stop the assailants, he was, in law, considered an accessory to the fact, and if England was a quiet spectator of the spoliation committed by Austria and Russia, she was placed in such a position that she could not fail to be looked upon as a party to it. Lord Palmerston had justified his non-intervention policy by saying that the Austrian empire was a most important element in the balance of European power; that it stood in the centre of Europe, and was a barrier to encroachments on the one side and invasion on the other. But the fact was that the Hungarians were engaged in a life-and-death struggle, a struggle which would end either in liberty or in slavery without limit—in self-government or in unmitigated despotism. It was absurd then for the opponents of war to say, "let us have peace," when thousands of their fellow-creatures were being slaughtered by hordes of Austrian and Russian barbarians. Mr. THorarsoN seconded the resolution. The Hungarians only demanded those liberties which had been guaranteed to them by previous Sovereigns, and they did not take up arms to defend their rights until every legal and constitutional means had been first tried in order to secure them. It was difficult to ascertain from the ukase of the Czar, which had been published to justify his interference, where he meant to stop. The fact was this, he was alarmed at the progress of liberal opinions in Hungary, which, being contiguous to his dominions, was likely to give him a good deal of trouble, and he was very anxious to assist his neighbour the Emperor of Austria in order to put down those opinions. Aggrandisement had always been, and would still be, the policy pur sued by Russia. The Czar only wanted a pretext for extending his dominions, and should he be suc cessful in putting down the Hungarian people, did. they think that he would take back his troops, or that even Hungary would be added to the Crown of Austria ?—(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") It would be much easier, however, to prevent either of these casualties happening before than after the. Russian bear had succeeded in subjugating the people (Hear). The escutcheon of British honour would not be made any brighter by their standing by quietly witnessing a people butchered, especially when this was coupled with the fact, that England gave its silent assent to the disgraceful partition of Poland.— (Hear, hear.) The independence of Hungary was the recognition of a principle which was sup ported by every free nation, and the reason why the Emperor of Russia had not yet succeeded, was because he did not carry public opinion with him. In the freedom of Hungary were wrapped the liberties of the world, and therefore it behoved the English Government to see that its bade-. penflence was not crushed.—(Cheers.) The resolution was carried with applause. A memorial to her Majesty, embodying the two resolutions, find praying that she might be graciously pleased to recognise the Republic of Hungary, to demand the immediate withdrawal of the troops of Austria and Russia, and, in the event of a refusal, to declare war against the despotic and savage assailants of the Hungarian people was then agreed to. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. PORTLAND BREAK WATER.

(From the United Service Gazette of this day.) THE DESERTERS FROM THE CHlLDERS.—Lieute nant Graham and Mr. Elliott, the lieutenant and master of the Childers, who deserted from that vessel whilst at the Cape on her way home, gave themselves up to the Admiral on the departure of the Chillers. We understand that Lieutenant Graham wrote a letter to Admiral Re 3 nolds, stating that his rea , on for quitting the ship was on account of Commander Pitman's conduct towards him, and both himself and the Master had determined not to go home with him The Admiral, however, sent them home in the Nim rod, arrived at Devonport, and tby now await trial by court- martial at that place. Thus all the reports which have been circulated ai to Commander Pitman's mode of commanding his ship will be cleared up. It said that not one- third of the ship's company who left England in the Childers came home in her. At all events, Lieutenant Graham and Mr. Elliott have placed themselves in a very serious position by their act of desertion. DISPATCHES FOR HALIFAX —Her Majesty's sloop Persian is ordered, when ready at Devonport (on the 13th inst.) to proceed direct to Halifax with Admi ralty dispatches for the Commander-in• Chief, the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.B. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALYPSO.—We regret to state that a malignant fever broke out on board this vessel during her stay on the coast of Mexico, which swept off one midshipman (Browning) and several seamen. Her naval instructor (Mr. E. Shaw) has been left behind sick, it not having been considered safe to remove him from the Nereus, at Valparaiso. The Calypso it will be seen lett Valparaiso for Eng land with three millions of dollars, on the 28th May. THE CAPE OF GOOD HorE.---We have intelligence from the Cape to the 10th of June, by her Majesty's ship Nimrod, which informs us that the gallant Rear- Admiral, Commanding-in Chief, intends to proceed in his flag ship, the Southampton, to the Mauritius, on a visit to the limits of his station. We be- lieve, however, that the Admiralty dispatches appointing him Commander -in - Chief on the south east coast of America will reach him before his departure ; when, instead cf leaving Simon's Bay, the gallant admiral will make his arrangements for proceeding to Monte Video on the arrival of Commodore Wyvill in the Castor. The latest dates from England at the Cape were March 10th. Great complaints are being constantly made at the Cape of the irregular communication between this country and the station. Commander Henry Eden, late first lieutenant of the Dido, in China, and who was employed in the Euphrates expedition, and recently commanded the Locust steamer in the Mediterranean, has accepted the lucrative appointment of superintendent to a great northern fishery. There are forty-six candidates for the secretaryship of the Dreadnought, seaman's hospital ship, which has now been vacant six months by the death of Mr. Harley, formerly in her Majesty's navy. TOE COAST OF AFRICA.—Our intelligence from the Coast of Africa, it will be seen, has added to cur Naval Service Obituary a gallant young officer who has fallen a victim to the casualties of climate. The Chntaur had recovered her healthy conkition, her ship's company having become seasoned, but the Alert had suffered a littl e, an d Commander, Monypenny, of the Sealark, was left dangerously ill. The pirate felucca that killed Mr. Sanders and the men of the Alert's boats, we are glad to hear, has been taken ; but, as she made no resistance, the murdering scoundrels will e,cape unpunished. This is the justice of the Coast of Africa service. Our officers and men may be killed in action, or murdered in cold blood by these pirates, who, it captured, ere to be treated as guests and friends, and the pirate captain becomes a guest of the British officer. Nay, to our utter disgust, as also to the disgrace of our English men of war, we know an instance in which the commander of a cruiser allowed the slaver captain to share his cabin with him. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal of this day.) There has been a fair proportion of business done this week, especially in leading mines, shares in many of which have found free buyers. The sale of the 249,937 blacks of tin at Amsterdam being now concluded, we may reasonably expect an advance both in the price of tin and the ore, which had decreased considerably ontecedent to this sale. We learn that better prices were realised than gene rally expected, although we find that there is a great scarcity of the article both at home and on the conti nent—consequently, an aduance must immediately take place on the ore. Smelters have already refused an improved price for tin, and buyers are becoming anxious. In consequence of an improvement in Tincroft, there has been an active inquiry for these shares, which have been done at a considerable advance on former prices. The improvement appears to be in the shaft sinking under the 100 fm. level, where they have a splendid course of grey copper ore. Buyers are to be found for Treviskey and Barrier, South Basset, West Seton ' South Frances, and East Wheal Rose, s ome of which have changed hands during the week. South Tatnar, Bedford United, Tamar Consols, Trelawny, Treleigh, &c., have also been sought for. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week :—East Wheal Rose, Devon Great Consols, North Roskear, Treviskey and Barrier, South Frances, South Basset, Trelawup, West Caradon, Bedford United, Tincroft, Tarnar Consols, Tau Consols, Kingse.tt and Belford, Treleigh, Engair Lli, Wellington, and South Tamar. At the South Wheal Basset meeting, a dividend of 101. per share was declared for the months of May and June, leaving a balance in hand of 563/ ; the profit on the two months amounted to 1,2911. 12 s . 9d. At the Levant meeting , a dividend of 5/. per share was declared, leaving a balance in favour of the mine of 1,234/. 13s. 101 At the Wheal Trelawny meeting, the statement of accounts showed a profit of 1 3511. 18s. 10d. for the months of March, April, and May, and a dividend of 41. per share was declared, leaving a balance in hand, with the amount left from last acconnt, of 1,1441.125. 7d. The agent's report represents the mine in a very gratifying and prosperous petition. At the Wheal Mary Ann meeting the accounts showed a profit on March, April, and May of 5571 . 11s. ; and the balance in hand was 1,017/. 193. Bd. At the 'levy Con,ols meeting, the accounts showed a balance against the mine of 971. 18s. 101. A calls of 4s. per share was made. At the Trewaider meeting, the statement of ac counts showed a balance of 831 ls. 3d., due to the purser, whil-t arrears of calls amount to 136/ The agent reports that the works were progressing moat satisfactorily. A steam engine, of cylinder, capstan, and shears, had been purchased, and the whole in course of erection, and the former was ex ' petted to be working in About three weeks from the date of meeting, when we expect this promising mine %ill be in fail operation. A call of 21. per share was made. At the Wcat Wheal So` meeting, tl7e statement of aceeuets sllowea a profit of 5,;1. ls. 13. on the workings of May and June, leaving a balance of 1891. 3s. in favour of the company. The captain's report was highly favourable ; the bottom level pro ducing six tons of ore per fathom. Other levers are also looking satisfactory and encouraging. At Tylhoyd, Cardigan, in a mine worked solely by a gentleman at Aberyst with, in driving the deep adit level they have discovered a most valuable lode, although not what we may call rich at present, but, from its general character, may be considered a most important discovery. Other mines in Cardigan are looking remarkably well. There has not been much business done in foreign mine shares, but Copiapo, St. John del Rey, milted Mexican, Guadalcanal, and Alten, have changed hands. The Copiapo Mine report, for the month of April has been received ; the whoie is of a very gratifying charac ter. The Checo Copper Mine is represented as having much improved, especially in the 20 and 40 fm levels, have fine courses of rich ores ; the other points of the mine are productive, and hold out promise of im provement. No improvement has taken place at San Pedro; the returns for the month amounts to 56 tons. In the silver mine of Al Fin Hallada, no portion of the lode had been taken down since last advice, but the appearances are of the same fa vourable character, At San Jose del Carmen it was reported ;but not officially, that a rich bunch of silver had been discovered; 38 tons of ore from this had been brought to the city, and WAS in course of amalgamation. The Carmen Alto, Plomizi, and Loreto Mines, are represented in a very promising position. From the gold mines, several tons of good orey work has been broken from the lode; but the value of the whole cannot be given with precision before the next advices, when a remit tance of both gold and silver may be expected. The whole of the troops are engaged in conveying copper ore for freighting the Sion. Letters from the Alten Mines have been received ; which, though they convey no advice of actual im provements, yet fully confirm former prospects. DIMENSIONS. Great Breakwater 6,000 feet long.

ACCIDENT AT THE FLORA GARDENS..—Last night an accident of a serious character took place at the Flora-gardens, Wyndham-road, Camberwell. Amongst the entertainments was the exhibition of the Messrs. de Witte, the Flying Brothers, the one as Mercury, the Flying Wonder, and Phcebus, the God of Day, who were to take a flight across the garden, at an immense height, on a slack wire, and surrounded with fireworks. At ten o'clock the youths commenced their perilous task, when, suddenly, to the great terror and alarm of the s p e ctators, when the Snapp e l d e r e b d r a o n th d er he hdaeclanerneadcehdedto the eentreoft he wire, it g round with fea rful violence.

EWSV ENDERS BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yes terday meeting of the committee and subscr ibers this institution was h e ld i n th e N ewsven ders' Ha ll , i° n Blackhorse- court, Fleet-street, for the transaction of general business. The report for the past year congra tulated the members on their present position, whilst at the same time the committee would earnestly impress upon the trade the necessity for increased funds to meet the growing claims of the needy and infirm. There is at present only one pensioner on the funds. Relief to the amount of 15/. has been disbursed, being the largest sum the rules allow for temporary cases, whilst the funds were under 1,0001. The sum of 1,0001. has since been raised, and has been invested.l'h o e f fi li t l ia lig. n h c l i o a sß l . s 9e t ad a c. te h - , state ment showed the receipts f or the p ast y ear to be 1111 . 4d.; the expenditure leaving a balanc e ESSEX. —ln the neig hbo urhood of Waltham Abbey , Waltham Cross, Sewardstone, Ching ford, onrd a la d ' Ch rg ig e weli' &c., the wheat harvest h as commenced, portion of the crop ha s alrea d y no pa; been compared with m carried. sn e The harvest has commenced early m pervious years, and the crop is represented to be an limn ( ) one.—Essex Standa r d .
