.RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE NO R WAY. RWEGIAN GRAND TRUNK R Some account of this interesting ceremony has al ready appeared in the public journals ; but the annexed particulars will be read with gratification, as indicative of the development of Norwegian resources under Eng lish skill, and through the instrumentality of English enterprise and capital : CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 15.—We were very much grati fied the other day by the arrival of Mr. Robt. Stephen son, M.P., Mr. Samuel M. Peto, M.P., and Mr. Geo. P. Bidder, with a party of friends, for the purpose of inaugurating the Norgewian Trunk Railway, which, in accordance with the contract with the Norwegian Go vernment, was to be formally delivered over to the direc tors on the Ist inst. This line is 42 miles in its extreme length, connecting the capital with the Mjosen Lake ; which again, by means of steamers, at present belonging to the contractors, has brought the most populous an favoured districts in connectio n with the coast, f d r i ora . which they have hitherto , in conse q uence of the 15 culty of internal communication, been in a measure excluded. The country through which the line passes is, as those acquainted with the physical features of Norway may well suppose,• exceedingly picturesque ; the im pression which first strike s the traveller on viewing the broken and mountainous character of the couu try is the impracticability of constructing a rail way ; and the utmost skill and ingenuity of the engineer have been called into requisition in order to overcome the difficulties which meet him at every ad vance, while the curves and gradients they have been compelled to adopt p rove that these were not few. After leaving the main station at Christiania, and crossing the Agers river, by means of a wrought-iron girder bridge, the rise to a distance of 11 mile is 1 in 40, and the des cent at Strommeir, the first chief station we arrive at, is lin 60. Here we cross the Nid river by means of a similar wrought-iron bridge, and shortly after begin to rise to the picturesque station under Frognor Church ; after this the gradients and curves are but slight until you reach the next station at Dahl, situated in the sequestered valley of Ris. Between this station and Christiania the road passes through some extensive rock cuttings of granite and primitive slate, and over some of the most extraordinary timber viaducts ever applied to railway construction, varying frhru 60 to 70 feet in height, and from 400 to 800 feet in length ; they look light and elegant, and exceedingly picturesque, though of immense strength. From Dahl to Eidsvold the engineers experienced unusual difficulties, not only from the nature of the ground, but the configuration of the surface. The line, immediately after leaving the Dahl station, enters a series of narrow-winding valleys, with barely breadth enough for the streams which traverse their base to worm their way through ; the curves are consequently sharp, and within the short distance of seven English miles no less than 18 bridges have to be crossed, as likewise through two short tunnels. On • emerging from the second, the Wormen river (the out - let of the Mjosen Lake) is seen, and immediately beyond is the Eidsvold station, the northern terminus of the line, which stands on the quay, so that the steamers lie alongside. There are seven intermediate stations, all built in the Swiss cottage style—remarkable for the impression of neatness and comfort they convey. The opening of the line was to have taken place on the 31st, but, owing to some preliminary arrangements which had to be completed with the Government, it was de ferred to the day following. All the Ministers and high officials of the Government, together with the judges, * -1-- heads of the department, members of the Storthing, &c., were invited to be present at the ceremony. About 300 consequently assembled at the station at Christiania, which is of the old Hanseatic style, and. which had been decorated for the occasion, to witness the departure of the train. All the stations had been more or less adorned, and as the train flew by the company were greeted by the most enthusiastic cheers. At Eidsvold a cold collation had been provided, of which the company partook, and after walking about the beautiful environs for a couple of hours, they returned at four o'clock to Christiania, and were again greeted by crowds of specta tors. At five o'clock the company assembled at the Free masons' Hall, and about 300 sat down to a handsome dinner, which had been provided by the contractors. S. M. Peto, Esq., M.P., presided ; supported on his right by the councillor of state, M. Vogt, the Minister of Finance ; and on his left by 3L Berg, the President of the Lagthing. Among the company were the Minis °' ter of Marine, Minister of the Interior, Minister of War, the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Hesselberg, ar Robert Stephenson, Esq., M.P., the eminent engineer; Mr. Bidder ; her Majesty's consul-general ; the mem bers of the Storthing, and the chief notabilities of the town, as well as several English gentlemen, who h a d ' come over for the occasion. The gallery was crowded with ladies. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, that of " His Majesty the King," alluded to the great interest his Majesty had evinced, and the support he had so powerfully afforded to this great national undertaking. The MINISTER of J .- use - ice next proposed " The Health of her Britannic Majesty Queen Victoria," and paid the most eulogistic encomiums to England and the British. Mr. PETO then gave " The Government of Nor way and the Storthing," accompanied on each occasion with a brief and appropriate speech. The PRESIDENT of the STORTHING proposed Mr. Ste phenson, a gentleman whose fame had extended beyond Europe ; who had won his laurels—not in a campaign, where they are generally won, though often with but little prosperity to mankind—but by using his excellent knowledge and eminent talents so effectively that distant places aro brought near to each other, the beneficent avocations of peace are promoted, national prosperity is augmented, and a hitherto unknown life in many re spects is created. It was Mr. Stephenson whose counsel and skilful direction had been most instrumental in form ing the first railway in that country—an undertaking with which we may, with good reason, unite the most certain expectations of an advancement of many mate rial interests. Mr. STEPHENSON responded by proposing " Success to the Norwegian Trunk Railway." It was quite un necessary for him to expatiate on the benefits which such a great work was calculated to confer upon all classes of society. The experience which they had already had from the partial use of the railway for the last few months must have convinced the most sceptical that it could not fail to stimulate the enterprise of an already enterprising people, to extend their commercial inter- course with other countries, and, above all, to increase the comforts of the Norwegian people. It was in this latter respect that the influence of railways was so re markable ; the benefits they conferred were not limited to any particular class of society, for they were benefits that every one experienced. The future historian in writing the history of our times will feel himself called upon to study with as much care the influences of rail ways upon the social condition of man as he has hitherto done the influences of the most extensive war among nations. He would, however, proceed to a point on which he knew they were all anxious ; he alluded to an impression in the minds of many that the railway works were not in a complete state, and that the terms of the contract had not been complied with. As umpire be tween the English and Norwegian interests, he had carefully examined and considered the state of the works throughout, and he now expressed his decided opinion that the contract had been complied with. There were, doubtless, many minor works, especially some connected with the different stations, which could not strictly be said to be complete, but ho did not consider these at all necessary for the substantial compliance with the con tract. He, therefore, publicly and emphatically declared his opinion, that the Government ought to have no hesitation in accepting the railway and works as fit and safe for public use. Mr. PETO, in reply to the toast of " The Contractors, Messrs. Peto, Ricardo, and Brassey," which was pro posed by the Mini s t er f Marine, trusted they would for give his offering to them his thanks fur its reception, and for their kindness in accepting the hospitality he had so much pleasure in offering. He wished to take this opportunity of saying that he feared from what he had heard that some misapprehension existed in the pub lic mind as to the position and relation of the contrac tors to the shareholders, in connection with the event of the day. He had been told that 501:110 parties felt strongly that the Government should not have had the line transferred under Mr. Stephenson's award until every iot a o f work was perfect. Now, if this was so, why did the Government so properly stipulate for five years to try e very work on the line, and to add thereto from time to time what mi g ht b e ' required, until the traffic had reachebdts: certain limit ? He s t a t e d th a t as Mr. Stephenson declared that the line was in every respect it for opening' and equal to any railway that had ever been op ene n l' a safety and utility, still the contractors felt boundlaasrstgoehonest men, who stood before the world as fulfillin g engagements in every part of it, to carry out the contraen old a liberal spirit, and the Norwegian public and shot ei , s ie wc . nild find they had not misplaced their confidence. t c h a ez o r n ef s e , rred to r duty, fulfilled it in a c the control commissioners, who on all occasions, while strictly carrying out thei OUT teous and candid spirit. The traffic hadbeen on l y opened to Eidsvold but a month Pit 19 ,000 passen gers had been conveyed, and a gross retur n ma d e of about 3,0001. It was supposed, d an- very naturally so, that considerable prejudices would have been en countered from a class who for ages had possessed almost a vested right in the transit power of the district through which the line traversed. What was the result Why, that that very class had used the railway more than any other, and instead of competing with the line, at no time had the prices been higher, or had merchants experi enced greater difficulties in procuring horses as since the railway had been opened for traffic. These were facts that strikingly proved the utility of railway communi cation, and which made the merchant and the public independent of those climatic casualties they were so frequently exposed to. He felt sure that if he lived he should see Norway soon become an exporting country. .Its soil was fruitful, and, when cultivated, not only would each property supply the wants of its possessor, but leave a surplus for sale to foreign Slates. Though the winter of Norway was cold, yet that very severity gave the soil a preparedness unknown to southern climes, and when its lakes became connected by railways those products could be shipped with facility and profit. Look at Canada—equally cold, and yet what products were brought from it ? Look at Denmark —exporting annually 1,000,000 quarters of corn and 40,000 head of cattle. And why not Norway? He had seen since lie bad been in that country root crops equal to any he had seen in England, and crops of potatoes more abundant than any he had ever seen. Then why should not Nor way export larg e ly 1 H e f e lt sure s h e would eventually, aci d when it was calculated that the cost of locomotive traction did not exceed, for the supplr, bf. power,- more th an 9d, to each train per English mile, they would r • , ; THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1854. appreciate how large an agent in projects and develop ment railways were. The Minister of the Interior, Mr. BRETTIVILLE, said that it had already been remarked how fortunate they. were that Mr. Robt. Stephenson, a man whose talents are so renowned through Europe, took so lively an inte rest in constructing a railway in their country, and how fortunate they were to meet with honourable men, w ho, having the means of providing the capital, were inclined to extend their business even to that remote country. It was no less their good fortune that the man who was chosen to manage the execution of this great enterprise was a man who possessed extraordinary ability and ac knowledged experience. It was needless to say that g entleman was Mr. Bidder, and in proposing his health he had to thank him on the part of himself and country men for the interest he had evinced in bringing the en terprise to so successful an issue. Mr. BIDDER, in return, took the opportunity to pro pose "The Commissioners of Control," whose kindness, combined with perspicacity, exactitude, and decision where it was required, he fully praised. He admitted that there had been, indeed, a difference of opinion between him and them—a difference of opinion being unavoida ble between men of independent ideas ; but the earnest ness and decision with which they had maintained their opinion had only contributed to increase his respect for them. It had been said that the railway was not yet complete ; he granted it, inasmuch as a railway can never be complete so long as the traffic was actively de veloping itself ; under these circumstances he sincerely trusted the Norwegian Trunk Railway may be con tinually requiring increase of accommodation to meet increasing demands—to meet augmenting revenue. lie could not wish anything better than that the railway could never be said to be complete. Several other toasts were given and responded to, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

(Front the Report of the Registrar-General. ) FURTHER DECREASE OF CHOLERA. The cholera is slowly retreating from London ; but it destroyed last week 1,284 lives, and 19 persons died from the allied disease, diarrhoea. The deaths from all causes in the three weeks ending Sept. 23 have been 3,413, 2,836, and 2,504, including the 2,050, 1,549, and 1,284 deaths from cholera. The deaths by cholera in the ten weeks of this eruption have been 8,953 ; the eruption of 1849 broke out earlier, and by the same date nearly had destroyed 12,664 of the inhabitants of London. The Board of Health fights under the same disadvan tages in London as a war minister would if he could only oppose the invasion of an active enemy by the force which every parish and public company would vote and consent to bring into the field ; yet we may hope, now that the local machinery is, under due supervision, set in motion, and judicious precautions are issued, to see the mortality decline at an accelerated rate.

Last week the births of 833 boys and 795 girls, in all 1,628 children, were registered in London. In the nine corresponding weeks of the years 1845.53 the average number was 1,331. At the Royal observatory, Greenwich, the mean read ing of the barometer in the week was 29 . 972 in. The barometer increased from 29.68 in. at the beginning of the week to 30.01 in. by noon on the 18th ; decreasel to 29.80 in. by noon on the 20th; increased, with very slight exceptions, to 30.32 in. by 9h. a.m. on the 22d ; decreased to 30.12 in. by the morning of the 23d; and continued at this reading throughout the day. The mean temperature of the week was 57.1 deg., which is 1.5 deg. above the average of the same week in 38 years. The highest temperature of the week occurred on Sunday, and was 75.0 deg. ; the lowest on Friday, and was 39.7 deg.

Thus the Morning Advertiser says— " From a variety of communications which have reached us we are gratified to learn that the country will go hand-in-hand with the licensed vicutallers in resisting any attempt which may be made next Session to do away with the licensing system, and to throw the trade open to all persons who choose to embark in it. Such a measure, if carried, would not only be fraught with ruin to the great majority of those now engaged in the trade, but it would be attended with moral and social con sequences which all would have to deplore. This isno mere opinion. It is a statement based on the existence of recog nised facts. It is proved from the existence of the past, and our observations of the present. A free trade in spiri tuous and other liquors has existed for some time in Scotland. And what has been the result ? Why, that in large towns, Glasgow especially, there are some streets in which every third or fourth shop or cellar is appropriated to the sale of intoxicating drinks. It is unnecessary to say that the very fact of the existence of these innumerable receptacles for persons addicted to habits of inebriety implies another fact, namely—that they are more or less largely patronised. The latter fact necessarily involves the prevalence of intem perance. To throw open the trade, therefore, would be an act synonymous with offering a premium for inebriety. 'Were the trade thrown open we should im mediately have a perfect swarm of public-houses in the metropolis, and in all parts of the country ' • and, in order to obtain cus t omers , every expedient would be resorted to which human ingenuity could suggest." Now, upon reading this alarming statement, we can imagine the kind of profuse cold sweat which must have come over many a comfortable and well-to-do publican at this threatened wholesale destruction of his trade and property, and the dismal dreams of poverty and the workhouse which must afterwards have disturbed his night's repose. We can fancy that this alarming article must have cost a considerable consumption of brandy-and-water by Boniface himself, and mixed rather stiffishly, to comfort his nerves under the prospect of complete ruin which is here announced. We can, however, assure our nume rous friends, the publicans, that not the slightest ground exists for any apprehension as to their trade being thrown open by Parliament ; no such scheme, plan, or proposition is before the public, or has been recommended to Parliament. The statement of the Morning Advertiser is a perversion of the truth, only put out to cover the disgrace of the Protection Society Committee. Before proceeding, however, to say what has been proposed to Parliament, wo must really plainly state that if the writer in the Morning Advertiser had seen the report from the Parliamentary committee on public-houses, he must have known that his statement was without foundation ; and if he had not read that report, then he was incompetent to write upon the subject to which his article refers. Let us, then, explain as plainly, and in as few words as possible, the scheme recommended by the Parliamentary committee for amending the present system of licensing public-houses. This scheme is contained in certain regulations adopted by the committee to which we refer, but as our purpose is to be intelligible, we avoid the order and language of the propositions, so that we may give the pith and purport of them. In the first place, then, it is proposed that the licenses of a ll ex i s ti ng p u bli c -houses and beer-shops should continue to be obtained exactly as they are at present, and at the existing rates of payment. With re spect to the licensing of new public-houses, it is proposed to make the granting of licenses compulsory on the magis trates, on compliance with certain conditions. In the first place every applicant for a new license must be a person of good character, and must himself give bond, and find two sureties to be bound with him for the due observance of the law, and the conditions upon which the license shall be granted. Secondly, the distinction existing between beer-shop and publicans' licenses in all new houses is to be abolished, and ono uniform license only to be granted. No intoxicating drinks are to be sold without a license. The annual payment to be made for all new licenses is to be according to the following scale :—ln rural parishes and small towns, the lowest amount to be paid for a license is Cl. ; in towns or parishes above 5,000 and under 10,000 it is to be St. ; and to be increased 2/. for every 5,000 inhabitants, but in no case to excee4 301. Now the practical operation of this increased charge for licenses will be this.—That in the metropolis, and in large towns such as Machester, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham, &c., no new house can be opened for the sale even of beer without an expense of 301. annually. Beyond that, also, sureties are to be given for good behaviour. Let us now ask the Morn• ing Advertiser and the Protection Society, whether this is such an alarming scheme for throwing their trade open as to justify the wild warnings and mis-statements con tained in the article c% ith which we have commenced this notice. On the contrary, are we not justified, on behalf of the public, in denouncing this scheme as ono exactly adapted to increase the power of the great brewers, and to establish a giant monopoly such as exists in no other branch of trade.—Dispatclb. A TRAVELLER'S IMPRESSIONS OF SEBASTOPOL. M. Kohl, who visited the Crimea about ten years ago, and whose "Travels in Russia" and other works are favourably known' to English readers, thus describes the fortifications an d h ar b our o f Sebastopol at that period "No traces of the past are to be found about Sebas topol; everything is smart, fresh, and bran new. The view of the city from a distance is very fine—its hand some buildings and churches rising as if directly out of the sea, whose waves, after roaring and dashing with out, find Shelter within the walls and in spacious basins. These trangeil and secure harbours reflect the busy movements of 40,000 or 50,000 people in perpetual motion on land and. water. It is absurd to find in our (the German) Statistical tables Sebastopol rated as pos sessing only 5,000 inhabitants, whilst there are never less than 10,000 ; and there have now been for some time no leis than . 30,000 troops encamped round the city to work at the fortifications, without, counting the crews of the numerous ships of war constantly sta tioned here. The effect of all this warlike animation and bustle was greatly heightened to us by the contrast with the silence of the Tartar villages, embosomed in fruit trees, through which we had passed in approach ing it, while the immediate environs of the town are entirely deititnte of trees, and as bald as the pate of a Mussulman. A few days before our arrival the Russian fleet had returned.from the Caucasus, and it exhibited many traces of the contests in which it had been en gaged with the tempests and the Circassians. The greater part of the best of the fortifications of Sebas topol date only from the reign of the present Emperor. The materials have been furnished by the soft limestone found in the neighbourhood, which a good deal resembles the shell limestone used in the building of Odessa. It is of so yielding.a texture that balls would remain sticking in it as in Sand. It would, however, be so much the more vulnerable. .to the attacks of time, as may be judged from the houses of Odessa, which are already falling to decay. For the present of course everything in Sebastopol is straight and in order, and it would afford a secure place - of refuge for the Russian ships should they ever .be driven by English gunpowder from the Dardanelles. One of the officers of the fleet bad the kind ness to take me in his handsome yawl to see what was, perhaps, one of the most remarkable things in Sebasto pol, the marvellous docks now building for the navy. Nature has indeed freely contributed to this giant work, by preparing* a long, straight, deep bay, protected on all sides. Nevertheless there yet remained enough to be done. The stone chiefly used in the construction of these docks is a beautiful, almost snow-white, limestone, in immense blocks, than which nothing can look better as long as thei are new. Here and there a few blocks of granite may bo seen." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. VESSELS SPOKEN WITH. The Royal George, London to Calcutta, July 26, lat. 10 N., long.

To-day we have only to echo the report from Tat tersall's yesterday, viz.: —" A remarkably thin atten dance, and business extremely dull." Many causes which need not be mentioned here have contributed to bring this about.

PORTSMOUTH, Sent. 2G.—Two distinct sets of proceed ings have been instituted to-day into the circumstances of the alleged death of a female from ill-treatment from officers belonging to her Majesty's screw frigate Daunt less, and which had taken place on board that vessel's hulk, the Victorious, lying off the dockyard. A report of the proceedings at the inquest on the cause of death of this young female, Matilda Jane Lodge, aged 22, was inserted in The Sun on Monday ; the ver dict being, it will be remembered, to the the effect that death had been mainly accelerated by the ill-treatment alleged. At 9 o'clock this morning a court of inquiry was opened on board the Dauntless's hulk, the Victorious, the members of the court being Captain R. S. Robinson, Colossus ; Captain J. C. D. Hay, Victory ; and Cap tain Crispin, Victoria and Albert. Previous to the court opening, Captain Ryder, the captain of the Dauntless, mustered all the officers, and read them a severe lesson in reference to the conduct complained of. Ho also, we are informed, placed Lieutenant Frederick Knight, R.M., the officer with whom the deceased had been on board, under arrest. The court has sat the whole day, but, of course, nothing has yet transpired as to whether a court-martial will result from it or not. It is regarded as more than probable. Civil proceedings were also instituted at the Borough Police Court to-day, before a bench of magistrates, the Mayor (G. C. Stigant, Esq.,) presiding. After a private and preliminary consideration of the subject, Mr. Henry Ford, solicitor, of Portsea, said he ap peared for the prosecution, in reference to the death of Matilda Jane Lodge, which had occurred from ill-treat ment received on board the hulk to the Dauntless steam frigate. lie asked the bench to grant an adjournment of the hearing, to allow of the necessary evidence being got together. Mr. James Hoskins, solicitor, of Gosport, said he ap• peared on behalf of the officers of the Dauntless, who had been requested by the Mayor to attend that court. Lieu tenant Seymour, Lieutenant Jervis, and Lieutenant Knight were present, in conformity with that request ; and other of the officers would have been present but that they were in attendance at a Court of Inquiry on board the ship. He (Mr. Hoskins) wished to know whether they wore there as accused persons or as witnesses, or whether a portion were to be accused and the remainder to be witnesses against them. Mr. Ford said at the present stage of the proceedings he could not say whether they were all, or one, or any to be accused ; neither could he yet state for what pur pose their presence would be required on any future oc casion. He would, however, by Friday next be prepared to take some decided course in reference to the question. Mr. Hoskins's promise that the officers whose names had been mixed up with the subject would attend on Friday would be all that the prosecution would require. Mr. Hoskins declined to give any promise on such a footing. If he were told that such and such of his clients were to ha.ve an accusation brought against them he would proxise that they should attend ; and lie would do the same if they were required as witnesses. After some further conversation, Mr. W. Leggatt, superintendent of the Portsmouth borough police, deposed that he had charge of the pro secution in this case, and he said a postponement of it was necessary for securing the attendance of material witnesses, and which he believed he should be able to secure by Friday next. The case was then postponed till Friday. NORTHA?IPTONBHIIIE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.— The annual meeting of this association was held at Da ventry on Thursday last, and it was, we believe, in all respects the most successful meeting the society has ever had. The showyard was full of excellent stock and poultry, the ploughing-field presented an animated scene, and the attendance was unprecedented for numbers. The offering of prizes for poultry is a novel feature, but, judging from the amount of competition and the excel lence of the birds shown, the committee will have no cause to regret its introduction. The dinner was held at the Wheatsheaf Hotel. No room in the hotel being large enough for the purpose, a spacious pavilion was erected in the hotel yard. No trifling addition was made to the cuisine by the liberality of Sir Charles Knightley, who generously sent three bucks to the din ner, and sent his own cook to dress the venison. Mr. Knightley, too, who had journeyed from the Highlands the day before, brought with him a handsome donation of grouse, Llack game, and ptarmigan. Mr. Knightley further contributed to the pleasure of the meeting by providing a company of professional singers from Lon don, who added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Upwards of 200 persons dined, Mr. Knightley, M.P., as president g of the associatio n , p res idi n , and the vice- Presid9ut, Sir Charles lehaw, Qocupying the vice-chair. COUNTRY MARKBTS.

The condi tion being excellent, and a demand existing for export to the continent, the trade ruled not only firm, but an ad vance on last week's rates of is to 2s per qr. was fully es tablished. The increase to the supply of barley was but little. Some malsters are about to commence steeping, so that a further advance of is and 2s per qr. had to be pala, to the grower. Beans and peas'in very short supply, and held for more money. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTO .
