RAILWAY MEETINGS. Th, half yearly meetings of all the principal railway companies may now be considered to have terminated, and those held during the past week have been of secon dary importance. The dividend recommended in the re port, of the Great Western of Canada is at the rate of 8 per cent. per annum, which will absorb 109,2481., and leave 8,055/. to be carried forward. The severity of the winter is stated to have had the effect of limiting the traffic in the early part of the year, and of increasing the wort - - ing expenses, especially the maintenance byw e a n y d . B limiting the capital expenditure, supporting re lationsy with neighbouring railways, and adopting strict economy, the directors still believe that the line will in crease in prosperity and value. The inhabitants of Faversham have passed resolutions in favour of the pro posed line from Faversham to Herne Bay. It is thought that this project will be of great advantage to the East Kent Company, which is expected to be opened in about 12 months. A preliminary report on the line from Dart mouth to Torquay has been received by the shareholders and others interested as favourable. The directors of the Tralee and Killarney Company express a belief that they will shortly be in possession of the land required for the railway, and that every endeavour will be made to expedite the construction of the works. At the meeting of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway the dividend de clared was 4 per cent. for the half-year, free of income tax, leaving a balance of 7181. to be carried forward. The arrangements with the Wicklow Company having been carried out, the rent payable will secure the share holders in the Kingstown Company 8 per cent. per annum, and if the receipts exceed 55,0001. a year 30 per cent, of the surplus is further available. A special meeting is to be called, for the purpose of considering the propriety of making some compensation to Mr. J. Pim for his outlay and services to the Kingstown Com pany. It is expected that the first section of the Per nambuco Railway will be ready for traffic by next Midsummer. At the date of the last advices upwards of nine miles were ready for the permanent way. La bour is found to be abundant, and the general condition of the men employed upon the works is healthy. The progress of the works and the contracts enable the directorr to repeat with confidence that the capital of 1,200,0001., to which the guarantee of 7 per cent, ex tends, will prove abundantly sufficient for the comple tion of the railway. The inhabitants of Huddersfield have passed resolutions in favour of a project for making a line from that town to the Barnsley collieries. CLERKEN WELL INCUMBENCY. It might have been expected that with the election of Mr. M`Guire to the incumbency of Cle r k enwe ll by the vestry board on Fridayevernng, the contest w hi c h h as agitated the wh ole parish for some considerable time wo uld have ended, at least , until a court of law had de cided whether the vestry had the legal r i g h t to e l ect, or whether it was sti ll vested in the parishioners generally. On however, a placard was . issued, signed b the Mr. Roberts, in which he says Saturday, Rev. to the parishioners, "You will doubtless remember that I publicly pledged my , word to you at a meeting at the school-rooms in Amwed-street that I would in the event of my being elected to the vacant incumbency by the new vestry, give you, the ratepayers, an opportunity of exercising your right and privilegeeither to confirm or set aside that election. Notwithstanding I have been left in a minority by the defection of several of my ' pledged ' ' supporters on the decision of the 66 members of that vestry (who have usurped your privilege), I am not de barred the fulfilment cf my pledge. My committee have now take n s t ep ' , and wh i ch, b e ass ured, with your aid, they will follow up to the very last, to confirm for you, if possible, that right which you as parishioners have without opposition until now exercised for 200 years. If they succeed in restoring to you your other wise fer feited patronage, I shall then earnestly solicit your votes to elect me to the important position of incumbent of Clerkenwell." This placard cau s ed a good deal of ex citement, which was a dd e d to b y a rumour that got into cicculetion that nu Sunday moruiug Mr. Robots would claim the right of preachirg in St. James's Church, to the exclusion of the elect of the vestry, the consequence being that yesterday, long before the commencement of Divine Service, the church was filled in every part, the a i e qes were crowded, an d t h ere was not even stan di n g r oom. The Itev.Mr. Fo r d rea d prayers, and t h e R e v. Mr. M‘Guire was in attendance i n th e c h urc h w ardens' p e w ready to officiate. The Rev. M r .

The electric telegraph is the miracle of modern times. As yet this invention is but in its infancy, but already all Europe is traversed by its wires, and the continent, too, of "North America. In the course of the next two or three years we trust to see resultSfar more extensive. The wire is already coiled up which is to be cast into the depths of the Atlantic. The mountains and valleys of that great sea have been fathomed to ascertain the most convenient course for its deposit. In a brief spice the e l ec t r i c spark which is generated in Loudon will pass as swiftly as the exigencies of its own nature require to the great cotton city on the delta of the Mississippi, and to that rude town, whichever it may he, which may then lie furthest westward in the domains of the buffalo and the red man.

This limit once obtained, the lightning-thought can flash freely on its course across the old land of the Egyptian, whether by the Red Sea or across the plains of Mesopotamia, to the cities of our Indian empire, and in due time, no doubt, to the great centres of Chinese commerce. Nor is this all. The wire which had been laid down from London in ono direction will soon be carried to the city of the Californian gold digger. The corresponding wire, on which we have just marked a few stations, will then be borne across the Chinese Seas and the Northern Pacific—touching, it may be, on its way at the mysterious empire of Japan, and will be linked on at San Francisco to the western chain. Tien it will happen that a man may generate a spark at London, which, with one fiery leap will return back under his hand and disappear, but in that moment of time it will have encompassed the planet on which we are whirling through space into eternity. That spark will be a human bought ! 'a~^ ~ [PRICE 4D. STAT,IPED SD. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING. ATTACK ON THB ESTABLISHED CHURCH. The agitatioiitarted Clonakilty a short time since has been taken up in the midland counties by the same class of agents,--to wit, the Roman Catho lic priesLs and their local servitors. A requisition, we are told; is in course of signature, and already numerously signed, convening a meeting of the " Reformers" ono narrower a circle than the throe exten,,ire counties of King's, Queen's, and Kildare, to adopt meas ures i n - support of e motion of Mr. Miall, which is to be again brought forward in the next session of Parliament. Some 1 • )ple here are innocent enough to suppose that the Catholic party is the one in the ascendant in the government of Ireland. Certainly the way the patronage of the country is dispensed goes to support the proposition. For the bench or the various law offices at the dis posal of the Minister none other . need apply. Seeing, then, that the Roman Catholics and ultra- Radicals have it pretty nearly all their own way, they may be asked seriously, are they acting wisely in urging on this new onslaught on - the Established Church ? They ought to know that the Protestant party, although passive, is : not powerless. The spirit of resistance once aroused may become some • thing more. - Rome is not impregnable, and King James's•advice to the residents in glass houses not . . . to throw stones, ought not to be lost sight of by the movers in the present agitation: _ THE TIPPERARY SANK. The guardians of the tenagh union have agreed to adopt the suggestion for a compromise of their claim, recently thrown out by other creditors. Mr. Going has been appointed to represent the board. The impression is becoming pretty general that the whole available funds will be swallowed up in law if an amicable arrangement be not adopted, and that immediately. The unfortunate depositors resident in the neighbourhood of Tipperary have as strong grounds in pushing the law to the ut most as any other creditors, yet as they are now satisfied to accept a reasonable compromise from the equally unfortunate shareholders. in the face of this we still hear of the preliminary steps being prepared for some hundreds more of additional actions, promising a goodly harvest to the ap proaching term. Tice dinner which was given a day or two ago to Professor Morse was highly creditable to all con cerned in it, and We are pleased to see that in the spbech which the Professor delivered on the occa sion ho significantly took the more ennobling view of the subject with which his name has been con nected. It is one thing to grub on from wheel to cog, and cog to wheel, inserting a screw here and adding an escapement there, but unless we raise odr eyes every now and then from the tedium of detail to reflect on how much has been gained, and to take a long earnest gaze into faturitY, we shall miss the greatest incentives to future exertion. Now, man cannot afford to lose a whisper from the unseen world. It is the spirit in which we work that signifies, and that spirit. should swell the prornptings of the Divine Being who thus eives us - the earnest of our immortal destiny. Professor Morse was speaking of that most certain point in the history of inventions, that when the time has arrived when the discovery is to be made which is to exercise a great influence on the desti uies of man there occurs a remarkable coincidence of disco Very and harmony of invention in many minds far separated from each other, and with no obvious knowledge of each other's thoughts. The recollection of every man who is familiar with the history of great scientific discoveries, and of the heart-burnings and rivalties in the midst of which they have been cradled, will confim this view. Professor Morse is reported to have spoken thus*:— " I am sure I may venture before a Christian British audience to suggest as its proper solution that the Great author of all Goad, the Giver of every great gift to the world, intends when such a boon is bebtowed that He first and prominently shall be recognised as the author ; and so, in His 'wisdom, He first prepares the way— Lie eliminates from hundreds of minds in various parts of His creation the minor inventions and lesser discoveries necessary to be made before the greater and more striking invention is brought forth, and then it is that the same thought, struck out at the same time, or at least so near the same time that a ll perceive the impossibility of any fntercommunication, leads one to exclaim as by an irresistible impulse ' ' What bath God wrought I' And this impulse of theheart,is true. So, too, when the historian has made his search, and brought together the facts, if any one connected with a great invention or discovery has attracted to himself the more concentrated regard or honour of man kind, or of a particular nation, how significant is that dme and more research bring out other minds and other names to divide and share with him the hitherto exclu sive honours I" He went on to quote the instances of Cabot, Columbus, and of the 'northern adventurers in connexion with the discovery of the American con tinent ; of Guttenberg, and Faust, and Caxton in connexion with the art of printing ; of Watt an d Fulton in connexion with steam navigation ; of Adams and Leverrier as discoverers of the planet Neptune. The name of our own illustrious countryman Wheatstone stands prominently for ward as one of the three or four which have been chiefly mixed up with this wonderful discovery. So has that of Oersted, the Dane. It is not for us to say to whom the palm should be assigned. It may be that one has been more concerned in evolving the theory, the other in applying it in practice. To do Professor Morse but simple justice, he spoke with the utmost mo d es t y o f h i s own share in the invention, which ho described as the application of the discovery to the practical purposes of life. 'We might, perhaps, have desired a few warmer words of praise for the original discoverers than the fol lowing :—" Man is but an instrument of good, if he will fulfil his mission ; He that uses the instru rommsvoetoarsttl crhiiyoctaesiel instru ment ought to have the chief honour;and He thus indicates His purpose to have it. It is surely sufficient honour for any man to be a co-labourer in any secondary capacity to which he may be ap pointed by such a head in a great benefaction to the world." But, though we miss the n Imes of Wheat stone and Oersted, we are quite aware of the merits I.i a wnm t e e int:.3 doubthot. impatience of Professor Morse) The guest at the Albion on Sa turday last has deserved wel lof the world, and in his, generation has done much to advance the i t s applaud energies Weio l this ahf discovery, so.

COLLAPSE OP A. COLLIERY SHAFT.—Three men — Joseph Crosland, James W r i g h t, and John Botcon— l os t 4 heir lives on Monday last in the Newton Colliery, nea Ferryhridge, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. They were descending the shaft of the coliitry, which is 426 feet deep, when the sides. of the shaft suddenly collap.ed, and a large quantity of earth and other material fell upon them. The three unfortunate men were killed, and their bodies were not recovered till 12 hours after, though great exertions were made to reach them. The primary cause of the accident is supposed to have beeu the late heavy rains. An inquest on the bodies of the deceased has been opened by the coroner of the district (Mr. Je.wisou), and stands adjourned till n ext Thurs. day, to e na bl e Mr. Moreton, Government Inspector of Mines, to attend. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13,-1856. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT THE BRYN MALLY COLLIBRY. WREXHAM, Oct. 11.--The inquest on the body of Robert Kenrick, who lost his life while attending to one of the pumps by which the water is being raised from this mine, was held to-day before Mr. Thelwall, the coroner for the Wrexham division of the county, at a small public-house in the neighbourhood of the works. The first witness called was John Kenrick, the brother of the deceased. He said —At 7 o'clock on Wednesday night I was standing within half a yard of the engine pit. My brother was standing on a stage about 50 yards down the pit, which is about 160 yards deep. He had gone down to change one of the buckets. He was shaking the rod when the capstan chain attached to it broke, and he fell six or seven yards down upon his head. When we found him he was dead, but the cb?in was not touching him. When the rod dropped, in consequence of the breaking of the chain, he must have gone down with it. He had been working at the engine for the last five or six years. I have worked there for four or five years. Frederick Hutchinson, a clerk in the employment of Messrs. Clayton and Darlington, said the deceased was engineer and pitman of the engine pit, and it was his duty to attend to everything connected with it. He was a very zealous man, and had been particularly anxious that all the gearing belonging to the pit of which he had charge should be in order since the inundation, as there were relatives and friends of his among the Missing men. He bad sometimes been dragged from hi s wor k i n order that he might get a little sleep, but he had a l ways re turned to the pit in a few hours. He was a very bold man. Fresh buckets are usually required at intervals of a week or a fortnight, but since the inundation they have been changed much more frequently, as the water wears them very rapidly. The men are very eager to change the buckets quickly in order to prevent - the engine from standing still. The deceased has changed the buckets in 15 minutes, the usual time being half an hour. There were three or four men under him. This witness pro duced the broken link of the capstan chain, which it was stated bad been in use for the last 18 or 19 years. The link had evidently given way or opened at the weld ing. He added that the same chain was still being used. The weight it usually had to bear was certainly under a ton. Samuel Warburton—l have worked at the engine pit under the deceased for about four years. On Wednes day night I was down in the pit with him. We were standing aide by aide on our scaffold at the first lift. We had gone down to change one of the buckets. The rod was fast in the barrel, and we shook it in order to loosen it. The deceased held in his left hand the wire by which the signal for raising or lowering is given to the engineer above. He said to me, " Stop a bit, I will lower ;" and he then gave four knocks by means of the wire. That was the signal for lowering, and the men above lowered the chain until the deceased, seeing it began to double, as the rod continued fast, stopped them in order to pre vent it from jerking when it was again raied. He then knocked five times—the signal for raising. I did not feel the chain jerk, but when it was pulled tight I heard the link break. I jumped directly to the other side of the stage to save my life, and saw no more of the de ceased. I think I heard him groan once or twice. Since the inundation one of the buckets has required changing every three or four hours. The chain seemed a very good one ; but I would rather trust to a rope than to a chain. The Coroner called attention to the rules for the regu lation of the Bryn Mally Works, copies of which, under the 18th and 19th Yic., chap. 10S, are given to all the workmen. The 20th rule was to the effect that the head banksman of every pit should examine daily the ropes, chains, and gearing of the pit under his charge. He wished to know who was the head banksman of this engine pit ? Mr. Hutchinson explained that there was ao head banksman at the engine pit, so that the rule could apply only to winding pits. It was the duty of the deceased to see that the chains and ropes of the engine pit were in proper order. _ _ _ In reply to further questions Mr. Hutchinson said that the men were furnished with copies of the rules in the English language only ; but, on the suggestion of the coroner, be promised that Welsh copies should im• mediately be given them. _ _ John Kenrick was recalled, and stated that eight men were pulling at the capstan when his brother gave the signal for raising, and that he and four or five more went and assisted them. The cbain was not jerked at all ; it was broken by fair pulling. He had always thought the chain a safe one, but he preferred a rope to a chain, because any defect in a rope could easily be seen. Mr. Kirk stated that his father, who was formerly manager of the mine, ordered the chain 18 or 19 years ago. It was made without regard to expense, and the best iron was put into it. It had been proved to bear 10 tons. It had never broken before, but it bad pro bably done more work during the last week than it would do, under ordinary circumstances, in a year or two. It was only used for the purpose of raising the rods when it was necessary to change the buckets. The Coroner sa.d there could. be no doubt that the man's death was caused by the breaking of the chain. It was for the jury to say whether the chain broke in consequence of some defect, or in consequence of some fault in the managdment of the machinery. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict of " Accidental death," but expressed an opinion that the chain was unsafe, and that it was the duty of the deceased to have examined it. They recommended that a rope should be substituted for the chain. The Government inspector was not present at the in quiry... Within the last 12 hours the depth of water in the mine has decreased 2 feet 4 inches, but the men have ;act been able to reach the upper workings. The fate of their 13 missing comrades is still, therefore, a matter of doubt, although, even if they escaped drowning at the time of the inundation, it is hardly possible that they can have sustained life for the 10 days during which they have been buried in the mine. RAILWAYS IN BRAZIL -THE PERNA2I. BUCO LINE. By the Tyne, which arrived at Southampton on Satur day, with the usnal files, we learn, from the Diario de Pernambuco of Monday, Sept. 1, that this undertaking, so significant of Brazilian progress, and of such impor tance to the interests of the'province which it intersects, is advancing in a most satisfactory manner. On Satur day, August 30, the works were inspected by the Presi dent of the province, the Chevalier de Macedo, recently ambassador from the Court of Rio in London, accom panied by Senor Francisco R. de Mello Rego, director of the public works ; Mr. H. A. Cowper, British Consul ; Messrs. C. and F. de Mornay, brothers of the concessio• naires ; Mr. J. S. Tucker, acting as chief engineer to the company until the arrival of Mr. W. Peniston, who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Borthwick, deceased; Mr. J. Bayliss, engineer to the contractor, Mr. G. Fur ness, and several other gentlemen, interested in various ways in the success of the undertaking. Leaving the village of Alfogadas on horseback, his Excellency and party proceeded to Imberittbira, from which place they rode along the line foe thirteen miles, diverging from it only when they came to rivers not yet bridged over. About 1300 labourers were at work in an orderly and systematic manner, and the portions which were com pleted gave unqualified satisfaction. The earthworks of the length inspeoted were nearly finished, the curves being well traced and the embankments ,slo2ed and dressed in the most approved manner. Mr. Bayliss at tributed the advanced state in which the works were found in a great measure to the order and sobriety which have prevailed among the workmen from the s )mmence meat. The supply of labour has been ample, and the regularity with which wages have been paid has contri buted to the satisfactory relations which happily exist. Nine miles of the line are ballasted, and ready for the permanent way ; and the first section, as far as Villa de Cabo, is expected to be completed in March, 1857 • the second, terminating at the Escada, in the following December ; and the third in March, 1858. Should these anticipations be realised, the first two sections will be completed within the period allowed for the first alone, which would be an incontest able proof of the activity with which the works have been pushed forward. After the inspection the company took luncheon under a tent erected and decorated for the occasion, and the toasts drunk and the speeches made were strongly indicative of the amicable and mut ually beneficial relations existing between Brazil and Great Britain. The party returned to Pernambuco in the evening, much pleased with the evidence they had had of the rapid progress of this important undertaking, the accomplishment of which must contribute so much to the prosperity of the province of Pernambuco, and the increase of the already large and advantageous trade carried on between this country and the thriving empire of Brazil. The s t a ff o f the railway has b een completed by the appointm ent of Mr. E. de Mornay, one of the concessionaires, and a life director, as resident manager. Tne health of all employed on the line continued good, affording the best proof that can be desired of the salu brity of the climate. Though native unskilled labour is abundant, almost any number of skilled European me chanics could be absorbed with facility, and to this class of immigrants the Brezila.n government offers great en ilih which hi t c b h e easy industry acquisition u t i h s e attains couragetnent. Those w h o h ave gone from this country have sent home most glo w i ng accounts of the unexam pledarid the fertility there n a o a f i n l s it s due land, d t due reward.ty certainty ol thewit soil, While the Tyne, which has just arrived home with the Brazil mail, was at Rio Janeiro, the purser, doctor, and chief steward (Mr. Cotterell) of her went ashore. Cn their return to the ship, accompanied by two passengers in a shore boat, the latter was struck by a sea and upset, and the whole party were immersed in the sea. They were soon picked up again, with scarcely any damage done with the exception of Mr. Cotterell, who was found to be dead. When the boat uoset he was seen to seiza hold of it ; when picked up he hal an oar under his arm, and did not appsar to have received a blow. It appeay s that some years ago he bad a fall on board ship which injured his neck, and he carried head on one side in consequence, and this, it is imagined, predisposed him to apoplexy. It is supposed the sudden immersion and fright caused the blood to flow to the head, and pr'a duced death by an apoplotic fit. Mr. Cotterell was formerly a Southampton tradesman. AMERICAN STEAM SHIP MERRIAL4C. The United States screw steam-fiigate Merrimac will, it is expected, take her departure from Southampton Water in about a fortnight's time. Amongst the visitors of the frigate during the last week were several captains and commanders in the royal navy and military capers ; Sir John Rennie, the engineer.; Major General Dickson, who fought in the last American war, and was taken prisoner ; and the Portuguese minister to Brazil. On Saturday the frigate was visited by Coact Pontiatine, a vice-admiral in the Russian_ service, and aide-decamp to the Emperor of Russia. The count commanded the Russian frigate Dana during the Russian war, when she was chased by the English and French fleets through out the South and North Pacific (moans, making her re markable escape in a dense fog from the Amoor river. Tt will be remembered that after basing the combined fleets pf the Western Powers for nearly two years she was finally engulphed owing to an earthquake on the Japanese coast, her officers and crew being saved by an American man-of-war. Admiral Pontiatine, a slender gentlemanly man, speaks very good English, and is a highly educated scientific officer. He spoke modestly on board the Merrimac of his adventures in the Diana. He was accompanied on board the American frigate by a young Muscovite gentleman whose' name and rank were riot known. They both came Worn Southampton to the frigate. The Russian admiral was saluted with 13 guns on his leaving the Merrimac. The remarkable nhape of some of the frigate's' guns excited .great curiosity, the pivot guns having the appearance . of m: *moth black bottles, from thio liiiorittotts size of the hinder part. of the gun as compared with the cir cumference of the gun towards the mouth. The brass howitzers, or boat guns, or, board the frigate have also attracted attention. Their carriages appear something like children's perambulators. The guns can be lim bered and unlimbered with remarkably facility, and the apparatus for running them ashore, and guiding and moving them about on land, is very complete and in genious. These howitzers throw shrapnel shells of about 12Ib each. In consequence of the disputes in England about the treatment of naval medical men, it may be as well to mention that assistant-surgeons in the American navy do not go through the steerage now, but step at once into the ward room where they have precisely the same accommodation as the lieutenants and other officers. The assistant-surgeon on board the Merrimac has really superb accommodation. The whole of the officers of the Merrimac have been invited by the Mayor of Southampton to the banquet to be given by him to the directors of the European and Australian Mail Packet Company and the heads of the S mthampton governmental departments, at the Dolphin Hotel, in that town, on Friday next, the d a y prev i ous to the sailing of the first mail packet for Australia under the new contract. An ore-.r has been issued by the Government to allow the officers of the Merrimac to view all the dockyards and naval establishments in the kingdom that they may choose to visit. The Merrimac was designed by Mr. Lenthall, the chief naval con structor of the American navy. The royal yacht was proceeding up Southampton Water one day, when shy was stopped, and permission was asked for one of the maids of honour and a gentleman belonging to the royal household to view the frigate, which permission was im mediately politely accorded. WILLIAM JAMES ROBSOY. (From the Observer.) The reports which have been in circulation for some days past respecting the amount of loss which the com pany will sustain by the frauds lately practised in the transfer-office of the Crystal Palace, are, we understand, greatly exaggerated. The investigation by Messrs. Quilter and Ball is not yet concluded, but it appears cer tain that the whole loss of the company, by rocognieing the validity of shares improperly issued, will not exceed the nominal sum of 20,0001., and considerably less if the shares were purchased at the present market prices. The largest proportion of shares improperly issued were pre ference shares, with a guaranteed rate of interest, similar to those of Mr. Robertson, of Leith, which form the subject of the present charge against Rob- on. The difficulties which Robson had to crlitend with in carry ing on his practices for the two or three last years must have been very great, and it is scarcaly possible to csaceive how he could have provided for the payment of the dividends on the irregular shares without the circum• stance coming earlier to the knowledge of the directors. The first discovery of the frauds was owing to the discre pancy which existed in the amoitnt paid by the corn paaly's bankers on the dividend warrants, and the actual sum. which ought to have been paid as dividend on the preference stock. In every department connected with the shares of the company, Robson appears to have had seine irregular transactions. Having sold shares deposited with the company it became necessary to pro yicies dividend-warrants for the ,payment of. dividends vghen due, not only for the original owner, but for tha subsequent purchaser. In many cases these warrants •were supplied by Robson, and having access to the seal of the company, they were all duly and regularly stamped. In. the case of transfers the signatures of the secretary and one of the directors of the company were required, and they were supplied by Robson. In other cases duplicate shares have been issued, printed, signed, and sealed in the same mann , r as the regular shares of the eoinpany. 'The shares, transfers, and dividend warrants, have, it is said, been all more or less tampered with. The style in which Robson lived, and the appearance which he kept up, ought to have suggested something like inquiry on the part of the directors as to his means. His salary was but 1501. a-year, and yet every morning he drove xp to the palace with a curricle and a pair of horses, which for beauty and symmetry could probably not be matched in London, or rode on one of the pret tiest "nags about town," attended by his servant in livery. He had also the famous trotting mare Elizs, which was accustomed to trot easily from the Crystal Palace to London-bridge in 20 minutes, being at a rate of 20 miles an hour ; or, as her owner frequently boasted, of beating the railway trains by several minutes. The pair of horses which he was in the habit of driving were sold under the hammer for 6201. Never, perhaps, was there such an insta n ce of s e lf-sacrifi c i ng exert i on for a great public undertaking as that of a gentleman living in this style consenting to do the daily drudgery of the duties of a transfer clerk for the small consideration of 1501. a-year. Questions were sometimes asked as to the means which he possessed, and satisfactory one veers were always given. Among other things he said that his wife had just succeeded to some property of 5001. a.year, and that he was making large sums of money from the theatres from the performance of his plays ; for it is not generally known that Robson is the author of several plays. Among the dramatic works which he has written are "Love and Loyalty," a piece which had a run of over a hundred nights, if we remember rightly, at the Marylebone Theatre. Another of his plays is "The Selfish Man." His most ambitious roil:, however, is "Bianca," a play in five acts, which was under rehearsal at Drury-lane up to the time of Robson's fight. The play has been in print for the last two or three months, and it bears the following dedi cation :—"To those who, believing in the realisation of the highest aspirations of the human mind, claim for the drama the proud position of being one of the chief means by which that realisation is to be attained, this play is respectfully dedicated by their very humble and obedient servant, Win. Js. Robson." It would have been well bad the writer pondered more deeply over one passage in his play, in which he makes the haughty Venetian lady say— --- What briar next to twine around The goodly flowers of my better self ? What demon urges me ? What fiend directs ? Why is it so? Why, so riveted Unto thy fearful throne, Iniquity ? Captive led—captive bound—unwilling slave, I must work on, and fill my destiny ? Oh, posr excuse ! Oh, paltry argument ! Mine inward conscience recoiling shrinks From such false reasoning. To feel Pin wrong, Aud still persist in wrong, marks me as accurs'd. With any gossamer I can conceal my face, But where's the veil will hide lay conscience from myself ? I have no tears, or I would drown my guilt. If drown'd 'twould rise a pallid cone and damn My trembling soul with its more fea;ful ghost. Judging from the rate of remuneration given by mana gers of theatres, it is not probable that any very large gains were made by Robson from this sourc-, and his play of " Bianca" is not ca'culated to raise a very high opinion of his dramatic genius. It appears, however, very certain that he had several other sources of revenue than either those from his dramatic writings or his at tendance at the transfer office at the Crystal Palace. He had made a considerable sum by some very success ful speculations on the Stock Exchange ; seine chemical works, in consasction with the preparation of antimony, are said to have yielded him considerable profit ; he was proprietor, also, of a large share in the timber bending patents ; he held some paying shares in a Welsh ni ne, and he was a director in three or four joint stock com panies. With all these sources of revenue openly avowed by himself, he was still found sedulously attentive to the duties of his small office, and if the charges against him are well founded, his object in continuing in the transfer office is easily understood. As soon as Robson had taken flight the directors offered' a reward of 2501. for his apprehension. Now that he has been captured, a Question arises, who is en titled to the reward t We understand that the rightful claimant is a lady. For some days no clear traces of Robson could be obtained, though there are good grounds for supposing that for several days after the discovery of the fraud he was concealed in London. Aided by some friends he succeeded, however, in getting out of the country, and when .on the continent he addressed a letter I to a lady, who, in happier timed, had been the subject of his attentions, and the reciplent . of no small share of his wealth. This letter, it is stated, was delivered to a milliner, who was at work in the house, and who, having some suspicion as to the writer, detained and opened the letter, and tempted by the reward gave information to the police authorities. The fair disciple of the Grahamite policy has, we are informed, put in her claim for the reward. The circumstances connected with the sale of the pre perty of Robson at Kilburn Priory have excited consi• derable surprise. It is said that the lessee of one of the theatres took possession, nod, r a bill of sale, of all the property and effects, early on the morning of the fol lowing day after the absconding of their owner, and the effects were immediately sold by auction, the holder of the bill of sale being, of course, ignorant of the real state of affairs. Mr. Robson, on his ap prehension, stated that large sums of money were due to him by several persons, and among the names mentioned was that of the gentleman who had taken rossession of his property under the bill of sale. A fiat in bankrut.tly has been issued against Robson, so that the whole of the transactions connected with the disposal of the property will be thoroughly investigated. As mn4t naturally be expected, the position of the prisoner has ha 1 a nio-t serious effect on the health of his wife. Without the slightest notice or warning Mrs. Robson was expelled from .er splendid residence at Kilburn, and driven from a sick bed, on which she bad languished for some time past, under a most painful disease, and arrived almost penniless at Brighton, where she now remains in a most precarious state of health. MAINTENANCE OF FENCES ON RAILWAYS.—At the last sitting of the County Cours at Halifax an action was brought by an innkeeper named Pickup against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company to recover 10/., the amount of damage sustained by the plaintiff in the loss of a foal, which had strayed out of a field adjoin ing the defendant's line and been killed by one of their trains. It appeared that early in March last the plain. tiff's agent agreed with the owner of the meadow for the agistment of a foal. This meadow adjoined the main line of railway between Manchester arid Leeds at a place called Ludden Foot. The owner of the land bad shortly before agreed to sell part of the same meadow to the defendant for an extension of their station at Ludden Foot, but. the company undertook to provide a new ap proach and entrance to the field before removing the existing gateway. They railed off the plot of land they had purchased preparatory to making a stone fence, and in the meantime the plaintiff, by direction of the company's foreman or contractor, obtained access to the meadow by removing a bar of the rails, which he tied up at both ends when the foal was in the field. Early on the morning of the 31st of March the pony got rut of the meadow, strayed on to the railway, and was kifle I ,as already stated. On examining the temporary fence the loose bar was found broken in two, apparently by the pony jumping upon it or bursting through it. It was contended by the plaintiff's advocate, who quoted the sth and 6th Vic., c. 55, sec. 10, and the Railway Clauses Consolidation 'Act. and also cited the case of " Fawcett v. ne York and North Midland Railway Cimpaey" (20 La w J. Rep. (N. S ), Q. 8., 222, as well as the case of "Barnes v. Ward," that the defendants were liable for the ortmages claimed, as they had not provided a,geed and sufficient fence to the plot of land staked t,ff. Mr. Higher'', ter the defendants, argued that the" plaintiff was answerable for his agent's wrongful act in taking insufficient say the rails, and for the negligent and way in which they were replaced ; that he had been warned that the foal would be killed ; that he had :taken the pasturage after the fence had bean put down, -and when notice that no gateway bad been provOed ; and ought not to have used the pasture until May. clay, and that the fence was good and sufficient before it was interfered with. His Honour (Mr. J. Stansfield), without requiring a reply, held that the plaintiff was cle trly entitled to a verdict for the amount olainrA. REMARKABLE SPEECH BY A RUSSIAN MERCHANT. Among the feasts at Moscow by which the late coro nation of the Czar was attended, was one given by M. Basile Kokoreff to the deputation of peasants and mer chants, assembled from the principal cities of Russia. M. Kokoreff was formerly a peasant, but is now one of the wealthiest merchants in Russia, and has made him self singularly popular throughout the empire by his profuse generosity and enthusiastic patriotism. The last occasion upon which his name was brought prominently before English readers was in connexion with a grand banquet given by him at Moscow to the soldiers and sailors returning from the defence of Sebastopol. At the late dinner to the merchants he delivered a speech sufficiently remarkable to repay translation. " It is not long since (he said) that at this very place, Moscow, the heart of the Russian nationality, the Mus covites feted the welcomed and heroic defenders of Se bastopol. We were then expecting peace, and were consoling ourselves with the hope of soon profiting by its happy results. To-day peace is no leug,rer a hope, it is a reality; and now again, in the same city £f :Moscow, we are celebrating, heart and soul, the holy coronation of our beloved monarch, the author of the peace and so many other blessings. Here also are united the repre sentatives of the whole nation, as well as you also, gentlemen, the delegates of our bourgeoisie. Let us, therefore, manifest in unison the sentiments which we feel at the advent of these recent blessings. Our gracious sovereign has been pleased to order that our children should henceforth frequent without any restric tion the University course. He has ordered the revision of the e'ation between Government and commerce ; and the revision of the tariff; which eannot fail to quicken our industry. All our relations with foreign nations are rendered easier. His Majesty has also been pleased to authorise the foundation of an Industrial Society, under the patronage of the heir to the throne. Happy the people and grand its future when its princes apply themselves betimes to the sacred duty of learning its wants and studying the means of satisfying them ! Lastly, in the midst of all these events, the 'Society of Navigation and of the Commerce of the South and of Russia,' has been established, the aim of which is to ex peditl our relations with Europe, and to facilitate our exports and imports. Russia has always been able to confess her faults as Well as recognise her merits. Let us, therefore, frankly declare, gentlemen, that, in point of commerce and industry, we are, in many respects, rather behind. Oar merit at present consists in the desire to improve our curselves by intelligent practice. It is a fact that in the industrial life of a people, certain and complete success is less easily obtained by the theo retical precapts of books than by a continuous contact with other peoples. By this contact we acquire experi ence, ideas, taste, and establish new relations which are sura to be maintained because they rest upon common interests—the only stable securities for treaties of peace. In order to arrive at this end, the surest means is faci lity and rapidity of communication with foreign nations. The question of steamboats and railways is at present a question of human interest, because it is by their means that nations can be united in a community of interests and in feelings of fraternity. In regard to commerce, there exists among us the most con tradictory opinions. Some still speak of a Chinese wall ; others of free trade. But be certain, gentlemen, that such questions are never resolved by extremes : their true definitions can only result from an interna tional exchange of ideas. When by means of steam we shall be able to unity ourselves more eosely with foreign merchants, more expert than we are in point of industry, and exchange with them our ideas, then we shall arrive at the exact and true definition of the very principles of commerce—a definition which is deeply interesting to the whole of Europe. It will then happen that we shall see here in Moscow, the centre of the internal commerce of Russia, as well as in the other cities and ports of the empire, representatives of the principal commercial houses of Europe. We shall then be able to learn every day here in Moscow, and at a fixed hour, the progress of business in Paris, London, and ether places, and be able, when we are assembled as now, with the glass in our hands, to learn by telegraph the health of our chil dren, who may be placed in foreign countries in Russian houses of commerce. When I review in Mind all the pregnant consequences which must infallibly result to nations from their union, by mean s of comm er ce — a union based on common interests — l can not refrain from proposing to you, gentlemen, to dri nk at o nce and unani mously the er oh following e n on rtoast, elder `To brethren European i n industry, and commerce,. to foreign to my honourable colleagues the merchants of Russia.' " The above was received by the company with loud and repeated "hurrahs." The personal appearance of M. Kokoreff, while delivering. this speech—hi s l ong beard and hair cut a la movik, and his warmth of manner—did not by any means lessen the effect of his words. A postscript to some of the commercial letters from Brazil, by the last mail, mentions the death of the Mar quis at 'Parena, President of the Council and Minister of Finance. The Emigration C.3mmissioners have advertised for vessels to carry emigrants to Sydney and Melbourne, to be ready for passengers between the 24th of November and the Ist of December, as may be hereafter deter- mined.

HER MAJESTY'S SHIP MEANDER. MIREHAVEN, Oct. 6.—This ship, Captain T. Balllie, arrived here last evening. It appears that she had been at Valentia during the last fortnight, and while there Captain Baillie, his officer and ship's company, rendered good service in sa.ving from becoming a total wreck an ill-fated ship, timber laden, which was driven on the rocks. After leaving on Friday last the gallant captain was squally fortunate in relieving another vessel timber laden, which he supplied, with provisions, and sent car penters, and that in heavy weather, to repair part of the damages which she had sustained, for which the master and crew felt most grateful. MURDEROUS AFFRAY. We (Derry Standard) are informed that in an affray between two men at the Sion Mills, near Strabane, last Tuesday evening, a person named Allen, was so much injured as to render his death almost certain. Accord ing to the information received it would appear that Allen was land steward to J. Herdinan, Esq., of the Sion Mills, and that for some time past an unfriendly feeling bad existed between him and the coachman, a native of Dub la. The coachman was accused by Allen of having ill-treated a valuable horse belonging to Mr. Herdinan, which charge the former denied. On the evening of Tuesday the two men were drinking in a public house, when an altercation arose between them. Blows were given, but nothing very serious resulted un til the parties reached the road. Allen was going home when he was overtaken by the coachman and beaten in a most inhuman manner. The unfortunate man was removed to his own house, where he now lies in a very dangerous state. The other is in custody, and we un• dentand the matter will form the subject of a magisterial investigation immeciately. THE HARVPIST.--- TEIE MA.RICETS. This has been a splendid week for the late liar veAt. It has saved thousands of pounds worth of bay and grain that were on the ground during the late heavy rains and storms. The Cork Examiner says : "The past few days have been exceeding fine—a for. turtate circumstance for the farmers in the remote moun tain districts, as it has enabled them to save their hay, which a continuance of the weather we have had in the early part of this month would have destroyed. Potatoes aro being extensively dug throughout the country, and aro on the whole turning out most satisfactorily." EXPORT OF BRITISH CATTLE TO THE UNITED STATES. In several instances during the last few years we have had occasion to place on record facts illustrative of the growing importance abroad which is being attached to the possession of the best and choicest breeds of cattle of which the united kingdom can boast. This feeling augurs well not only for farmers and breeders of neat stock, but for the country at large ; and it is therefore a source of national satisfaction to see how highly such are prized. During the past week there were shipped from Liverpool for New York, on board the Antarctic, Capt. Stouffer, a most valuable cargo of horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs. Prominent among the cattle were a young cow called Darlington Sixth, by a son of Grand Duke, bought at Mr. Sainbury's sale in August for 300 guineas ; and a very fine heifer, Marie Louise, by Mr. Booth's Hope well, purchased at a recent sale in Ireland. There were also three first-class heifers from the unrivalled herd of Col. Towneley, of Towneley-hall, in Lancashire—But. tercup second, by Horatio, from Rosette ; Missßutterfly, by Master Butterfly, from Rosa .;- nd Pearlette, by Fal con, from Ringlet. The price given for these three heifers was 1,000 guineas, although only just turned one year old. Two of them are descended •a the dam's side from the same family as the famous bull Master Butterfly, which animal was sold for Australia, in July, at 1,200 guineas. Miss Butterfly was the first heifer calf by him. Pearlette is descended from Mr. Booth's Bracelet, one of the most celebrated prize cows of her day ; and for the dam of the heifer Mr. Douglas recently gave Mr. Towneley 500 guineas. These animals have been pur. chased by Mr. S'rafford, of London, for Mr. Thorne, of New York, one of the most enterprising breeders of that country. There were also consigned f)r this gentleman IMO very fine Southdown sheep, purchased at the Hen grave sale, as well as some of the best Berkshire and Essex pigs that we ever saw leave the port of Liverpool. The Berkshires were from the famed stocks of Mr. Hewer and Mr. Overman ; the Essex pigs were bred by Mr. Crisp, and included the prize boar at Chelmsford, as well as some young sows, also shown there. With the above• there were also shipped some splendid Southdown sheep from Mr. Lugar's flock, as well as the shearling ram bought at his sale for 80 guineas. These are for Mr. R. A. Alexander, of Kentucky, a gentleman whose namestands high as a great purchaser of our best animals, and who, in a recent visit to this country, bought the celebrated horse Scythian, by Orlando, winner of the Derby (by Touchstone), one of the best stalliors this country ever produced, whose pedigree and performances are well known in the sporting world. He was winner of the following prizes :—Newmarket Stakes, 3501. ; Dee Stakes, Chester, 750/. ; Goodwood Stakes, 950/. ; the Newmarket Royal Stakes, 1,240/. ; the Chester Cup, 2,775/. ; Stockton, 530/. ; Goodwood, 539/. This valu able horse, for which Mr. Alexander gave 1,500 guineas, accompanies the above cattle, under the charge of Mr. Beck, and is consigned through the Messrs. Tattersall. Some cattle and sheep were also sent by Mr. Wytbes for a house in New York. The entire arrangements for the shipment were made by Mr. Bell, of the Adelphi Stables, and were of the most complete character, being such as to reflect the greatest credit upon the care and attention of this gentleman. IRON PAPER.—We had last week (says the Liverpool Albion) an opportunity of inspecting a sample of thin sheet-iron prepared by Bessemer's process. It was re markable for its great tenacity an d beautiful finish, but more especially for the thinness to which it had been wrought. Indeed it had more the appearance of glazed paper than sheet iron, and suggested 'the posSibility of our some day seeing an iron newspaper. We commend the idea to Ilerapath, as a material aptly suited fur his railway journal. The chief difficulty would be the dark appearance of the sheets, an inconvenience which might be pleasantly overcom,echbayntgheeounseTohufcrosdhamyr, to those ed inks. The sample was shown on in terested in the item trade, and excited great admiration. Several gentlemen who remember seeing the thin sheet iron exhibited by Prince Deinidoff, at the Crystal Pa• lace, 1851, were of opinion that it was , not only consi derably thicker, but that it was far inferior in quality to this specimen prepared by Bessemer's proae,s. FRENCH FISHERIES IN ICELAND.—For several years past the French have been extending their fisheries more and more northwards, and cf late found a more favour. a bl e f is hi ng ground on the coast of Iceland. Their pre sents has given rise to a number of unpleasant conflicts between the French fishermen and the natives of that island, and been the subject of repeated complaints on the part of the latter to the Danish Government, as they maintain that it interferes with their principal means of existence and almost sole article of export, and threatens seriously to annihilate tbeir little com merce. On the other hand, the French, wishing to re move for the future . all cause of collisions with the Icelanders, prsposed to regulate the question by a treaty on the subject with Denmark. The late of Prince Napoleon —first to Iceland and these to Copenhagen — has tended much to accelerate the neeeotintione, and a treaty between France and Denmark bas been already signed, and xvil he published as soon as the rat ificee tions are exchanged. Denmark, however, has not ceded the sovereignty of any part of Icelan I t o France ; the treaty simply grants to the French fishermen certain privileges, and secures to them the right of curing their fish en shore, which had hitherto been denied lx-rn by the local anthoriti , :s in Iceland.
