TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF A STEAM-BOILER (From the Second Edition of the Manchester Courier.) It is our painful duty to record an accident which occurred this day (Saturday) about one o'clock, at the foundry of Messrs. Nasymth, Gaskill, and Co.'s at Patricroft, near Eccles, by which one man has been killed, and two others so severely injured that their lives are despaired of. In consequence of the late hour at which we received intelligence of the calamity, we are prevented from giving anything beyond a mere outline of the shocking affair. It appears that about three minutes past one o'clock, just as the men were returning from dinner to the foundry, such of them as had arrived were startled by a tremendous explosion, followed by the crash of falling buildings, and on running to the engine.house, found both it and several smaller buildings a perfect mass of ruins, all the work of a moment. Such was the force of the explosion, that one part of the boiler, measuring about twenty-six feet, and weighing upwards of two tons, was shot like a canon-ball into the canal, a distance of at least forty yards, knocking down the walls of the engine-house, the boiler shed, smiths' shop, and a large wooden shed in which the " dressers" work, and carrying every thing before it. In fact, every particle of brickwork in the neighbourhood of the engine -house is completely in ruins. The men immediately set to work to discover the engineer and blast furnace man, both of whom were known to be in the ruins, and messengers were dispatched to Eccles for surgical assistance, and omnibuses to convey the sufferers away. The engineer, John Rogers, was discovered in a few minutes quite dead, and, to use the words of our informant, "as black as his hat." The poor fellow had evidently been bruised and scalded to death. Thomas Hurst, the blast man, was discovered underneath the ruins dreadfully burnt about his extremities, but protected in some mea sure by a portion of a chimney which preserved him from being crushed to death. Another sufferer, whose name we could not learn, but who is a dresser and mender, was severely struck by a large piece of metal ; in fact, the boiler flew over his head as he sat at work opposite the engine-house, and part of the cylinder, upwards of 7 cwt., fell within an inch of his feet. It is utterly impossible to describe the ruin nod devastation it has caused, which is so ex tensive that a large portion of the works will have to stop at least three weeks for repairs. No one seems able to account satisfacto rily for the accident, which is supposed to have beeff caused by a want of water in the boiler, although one of the foremen informed us that he tried the gauge tap about nine o'clock this morning, when all was right. We believe that during the morning, about ten o'clock, the engineer had some difference with a boy employed on the works, and they got to high words and blows, when the boy threw a large piece of coal at him, which felled him to the ground and cut the back part of his head very severely; and about half past twelve, he (the engineer) complained to the timekeeper that he " was very ill, and felt quite like a drunken man," so that, in all probability, the poor fellow did know what he was about in con sequence, and suffered the boiler to run short of water ; thus un consciously causing his own death arid the sad results which fol lowed. He was a steady, sober, and industrious man, and has left a wife and family. The other sufferers were conveyed to the infir. nary at Manchester as soon as possible after the accident. Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Bel gians are expected to arrive at Ostend on Thursday next, and will there embark for this country to visit the Queen and Prince Consort. The King and Queen are expected to remain about ten days on a visit to our Sovereign. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUCHESS OF KENT is about to leave this country for Germany, to visit her family con nexions in that country. We hear that the Royal Duchess will be absent about three months, and that her Royal Highness will pass several weeks with their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and .Duchess of Saxe Coburg, at the ducal palace at Coburg. It is ex pected that her Royal Highness will leave England before the solai, but the precise day is not as yet determined. HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.—On Thursday last, as a poor man, named Joseph Catton, living in Chandos-street, Covent-garden, was passing through St. James's Park, he ob served a gentleman drop a pocket-book, and, having picked it _up, at once restored it to the owner, who seemed perfectly bewil_ dered at the loss he had so nearly sustained, and at once presented th. e finder with a sovereign, taking down his name and address. Ca tton thought no more of the matter ; but on Saturday the same gentleman called at his residence, and, having satisfied himself as to Citton's general habits, expressed his intention to establish him in a small way of business, at the same time presenting him with a five_pound note. TITS PRESIDENT OF THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—SiT 'Martin A. Shea, in consequence of the state of his health, has re signed the office of President of the Royal Academy.—The Builder Prince Henry, of the Netherlands, left Leith Roads, on Thursday, in the Rhino frigate, for Iceland; from whence his Royal Highness will proceed, it is said, for St, John's Newfoundland, and should the season nut be too far advanced, for llalifax. AIR. CARUS WILSON.—In reference to the libera tion of this gentleman, which we announced on Friday, the Jersey Ti me,' of that day says :—On Tuesday, a full Court having been convened, the Solicitor-General moved that Mr. Wilson be now liberated from his confinement in the gaol of Jersey. The Learned Gentleman urged his motion on the grounds that Mr. Wilson having already suffered imprisonment for a considerable period, had sufficiently atoned for his offence towards the Royal Court. The Bench having acquiesced in the proposal, the Deputy Viscount proceeded to the prison, and in formed Mr. Wilson that the gates were now open to him. Although somewhat astonished at the unexpected concession, Mr. Wilson did not appear influenced by the same feelings which actuate most individuals on being visited with an unlooked.for benefit. Replying to the announcement, Mr. Wilson said that find ing himself perfectly comfortable in his present domicile, he was not in the slightest desirous to change his quarters, and that ;he would not leave the prison till force compelled him. Ejectment being thus challenged, force was speedily had recourse to, and the :tow no longer prisoner was dislodged from his cell. The rationale of this strange proceeding has not yet been made public, but the sooner a bulletin is published explanatory of the reasons why the Royal Court has become obsequious, the better." AUGSBURG, JUNE 3.—The Journal of the Austrian Lloyd states that a merchant of Venice has obtained the per :mission to construct a railway from Verona to Bregenz, by way of ratocrede, Trient, Bolzin, Meran, Landeck, and Feldkircb, to effect close communication between the Austrian seaports. The plan is said to have been very favourably received at Vienna. b a USSELS, JUNE 13.—Prince Metternich will come, in the month of July, to his seat at Johannisburg.

The Bill also pro .poses to enact that all children who are legitimate by the law of ,Scotland shall be deemed to be so in all parts of the United King d.om ; and, further, that all marriages and divorces valid by the law of Scotland shall be deemed to be so in all other parts of the United Kingdom. The Bill finally declares that all persons forging mart; age certificates are liable to transportation for life. Bri ITISII ASSOCIATION.—The 15th annual meeting of this scientific congress opens at Cambridge on Thursday next, the 19th, under the presidency of that distinguished philosopher Sir John Herschel. oNDER-STORM AT CHATHAM.—On Friday night, at .)out eleven o'clock, the town and neighbourhood of Chatham was vi.:ited with a violent storm, the rain pouring down in torrents an& flooding the streets. The most vivid flashes of lightning il luminated the country for miles, accompanied by awful peals of thunder. The storm, which was most severe for the time, lasted about one hour. The lightning set fire to a granary and piggery ..on a faran in the parish of Tunstall, about a mile and a half from Vittingb&urne, in the occupation of Mr. George Baker, and al.. though two engines from Sittingbourne were quickly on the spot, the buildings were burnt to the ground, together with forty quar ters of wheat Oestroyed. The live stock was fortunately saved. The property is insured. THE CASE OF MESSES. SMITH', THE DISTILLERS. — It is stated in the Excise department that an arrangement has been 'come to in this case, which has for so long a period occupied so Tatuch of public attenti on , by a compromise on the part of the de fendants and the Crown authorities.

O'CONNELL FOR LONDON. The Cork Est-miner, in mentioning the departure of Mr. O'Connell from that city, says—" He has left for London to attend three most important measures now in progress before the English House of Commons. These are the Education question, the Landlord and Tenant question, and the Banking question." Mr. O'Connell reached his residence in Merrien-square yesterday evening, and soon after proceeded by the railway to Kingstown, where he remanined for the night, at the house of his son, Mr. John O'Connell. He,is to start for London this evening. CHURCH EDUCATION SOCIETY. It appears, from a statement in the Evening Mail, that Primate Beresford, nothing daunted by previous decided refusals, has opened another correspondence with Sir Robert Peel, with the view of obtaining a Parliamentary grant for the Church Education Society, which has been established in opposition to the national system! The Mail says—this attempt to change Sir Robert Peel's views has, of course, proved fruitless; but still it was worth making. The correspondence is to be published. MR. O'CONNELL IN CORK. At about half-past two o'clock on Wednesday Mr. O'Connell proceeded to the place appointed for holding the great repeal meeting of the citizens. The locality selected for holding the " monster " assemblage was on Sidney.hill, an eminence on the north side of the city, commanding a magnificent prospect of the town and environs in every direction. A spacious platform had been erected in an admirably-selected natural amphitheatre, along the sloping sides of which, and the surrounding heights, thou sands of the people took their places. The appearance of Mr. O'Connell, in an open chariot, with Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P., Alderman Thomas Lyons, Denis Shine Lalor, Esq., of Castlelough, Captain Broderick, and Thomas Steele, Esq., was the signal for a shout of enthusiasm (says the Cork Reporter) not to be described. The Mayor of Cork was in the chair. Mr. O'Connell addressed the assembled multitude at some length, but we find nothing in his speech of any novelty or interest. Mr. Raleigh, town-clerk of Limerick, and the Head Pacificator, subsequently addressed the meeting. Mr. O'Connell attended a tea party at the People's Hall, Cork, en Wednesday evening. After the customary toasts, the CHAIR. MAN gave, The Great Liberator of his Country," which was re ceived with loud applause. Mr. O'CONNELL, in responding to the toast, said, I am going to morrow to Parliament; I have been summoned to Parliament. I have been summoned to my place there in a way that to me is irresistible. But if they sent their pursuivant after me, I would treat the message very differently.—(Hear, and cheers.) I am going there now at the call of duty, and I hope to be in London on Monday next, for three special subjects, which I consider it my duty to attend to. The first is the Irish Banking Bill, brought in by Sir Robert Peel. It was an excellent Bill according to his statement, and I accordingly accepted it, and proclaimed that it would be useful to the Irish people. Well, he printed the Bill, and it Is found most essentially and injuriously short of his statements.—(Loud groans.) There is a man for you to confide in. Igo to Parliament to expose the fallacy, and denounce the duplicity of that measure.—(Cheers.) As I did not hear him make his speech upon the subject, he may deny his state. ments, and throw them upon the reporters. Ah, these reporters are sad fellows.—(Loud laughter.) They are made the scape goats of every person, and if a blunder is made, 'tis sure to be put down to their account.—(Continued laughter.) If, however, he avows the report, a greater contradiction was never yet made by a public man. I learn also that Lord Stanley's Bill has been brought in, and to look alter this I will go over. The Bill has materials in it which give to the tenantry of Ireland the full amount of all the money and labour they may lay out. For this lam ready to do Lord Stanley justice, though he is, I confess, not a very loveable man.—(Laughter.) If he does a good act, however, he shall have my warm support and approbation ; but if there be a little Peelish dexterity in him, I may as well be on the spot to detect it, and I assure you I will not keep the secret.—(Laughter.) If there be anything injurious to the agricultural population of Ireland in this Bill, I will not allow it to pass, at least this session. By dividing on every clause of it, the session is so far advanced, that it may be protracted until the shooting season comes up, and the house breaks up. I have on more than one occasion wished that some animal was discovered which could be shot in the month of July—(Shouts of laughter)—for by that means we should have the vacation a month earlier. The other point lam going over about is the " Education Bill."—( Hear.) I confess I have the strongest abhorrence of that Bill. There are few advocates in this country, thank heaven, of godless education, or who dare to avow that they wish for any other species of education but a religious ene.—(Cheers.) For my part, I will never consent to have the Catholic people of this country brought up in a liberal infidelity. _ . I wish to have them educated ; but it must be in their duties to man, and especially in their duties to God, as the basis of all other information.—(Hear.) The more I think of that Bill the more I distrust it. The Catholic bishops have memorialised against it, and the memorial was treated with contempt—aye, even from Catholics; and let me tell you, that I am more afraid of trea chery and compromise from Catholics than any other person. I only asking fair play in opposing this measure. lam asking fair play for the Catholic, but precisely the same for the Protestant and Presbyterian.—(Loud applause.) Alderman Lyons, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., D. S. Lawlor, the Rev. Mr. Barry, P.P. Bantry, and others, subsequently ad. dressed the company. ACTIONS FOR LIBEL In the Court of Common Pleas, on Thursday, judgment was given in the case of Long v. Barrett, proprietor of the Pilot news paper. The Court overruled the exceptions taken to the charge of the Lord Chief Justice, and gave judgment for the plaintiff'. It is stated that the defendant has determined to bring a writ of error, and if necessary, to appeal to the House of Lords. _ . .. In the Court of Exchequer this day judgment was given in the case of Messrs. Malcomson, cotton-mill owners, against the pro prietors of the Warder newspaper. This case was tried before Mr. Baron Lefroy, at the Spring Assizes for the county Waterford, and a verdict had for the plaintiff of 5001. damages and costs. During this term it was brought before the Court, on the application of counsel, for a new trial, grounded on objections taken to the judge's charge, upon excessive damages, and upon proofs of the absence of malice on the part of the defendants. The case was argued at great length, and the Court this day gave judgment unanimously that the verdict should not be disturbed. In the Court of Queen's Bench this day, on the application of Mr. Meagher, an order for informations for wilful and corrupt perjury was granted, arising out of the case of Henry Chinnery Justice the Tipperary Vindicator, against John Donoghue, the under agent of Mr. Massy Dawson's estates in Tipperary. The cause of action against the newspaper was a publication respecting the eviction of tenantry. GOVERNMENT FUNDS, SATURDAY.—Bank Stock, 2121; Three per Cent.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. HUMPHRYS, DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF TEE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.— (From a Correspondent.)—lt is with extreme pain I inform you of the sudden death of a most worthy and esteemed gentleman, Mr. Ambrose Humphrys, of 22, Upper Wimpole-street, Cavendish. square, Deputy Chairman of the Great Western Railway, which cook place at his residence on Saturday, at a quarter past four, P.N. _- _ He had attended, during the day, to his usual business, and had proposed an early dinner, with the intention of getting to the Opera, with his daughter, in good time. When at dinner, he complained of illness, and retired to the sofa in the dining. room, and was a corpse in a few minutes. So sudden was his demise, that the family present thought it a fainting fit only. Drs. Wilson, Leicester, and Heavyside, were imsoedietely called in, and they pronounced him dead, Lady Montgomery and party, Colonel Bryan and family, the lady of Major Rice and family, and Sir William and Lady Allan, were among the numerous passengers that arrived at Blackwall Pier early this morning, by the General Steam Naviga tion Company's steam-ship Soho, Captain Cullen, after a rapid passage of a little over eighteen hours from Antwerp. SUSPECTED PARRICIDE.—The Carlisle Journal states that Mr. John Graham, an opulent turner, residing at Kirk Andrew, has been taken into custody on a charge of poisoning his wife and his father. The bodies have been ex humed, and the circumstances attending the death of each case are at present under investigation before the coroner. ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—L'XTENSI V E SEISUBE.— About eight o'clock on Saturday evening an extensive seisure of illicit spirits was made. and two private stills were discovered, on the premises, 64, Silver-street, Stepney, by George George, and John Diver, officers of Customs. Suspicion was first excited by complaints made in the neighbourhood that by some means or other the supply of water had been most inconvenienily reduced, which fact was ultimately explained by the discovery of a new pump at the " distillery," which diverted the water away for the purpose of cooling the worms. The place had been taken for the ostensible purpose of a blacking manufactory, and undar that pretext the spirit was carried away in a cart through a gate way, being at the back of the premises. The officers came in the nick of time, just as the cart was leaving the premiles. It was driven by a person named John Cherry, who, together with the horse and cart, were left in the custody of Bonner, a constable of the K division, whilst the officers searched the premises. In what was the back parlour they found two complete stills, one capable of working ninety and the other between thirty and forty gallons, and two worms running through a hundred gallon tub or cooler, for the supply of which the dearth of water which led to the detec tion had taken place. During the time the officers were forcing an entrance the person who was working the still contrived to make his escape. Fifteen gallons of spirits, under proof, with all the paraphernalia of a large distillery, were found upon the premises. In the cart, which bore the inscription Wm. Cherry, Old-street. road, St. Luke's, there was found 20 gallons of spirits 25 degrees above proof, in carboys and tin cans, packed away like blacking in hampers. THE LATE DUEL AT PORTSMOUTH.—There are lots of flying reports at Portsmouth about Mr. Hawkey, the surviving principal in the late duel, but no reliance is to be placed on any of them. One states that on the evening of the duel Mr. Hawkey entered the house of a friend at Gosport, and said," For God's sake, give me protection! I have shot Seton in a duel, and lam afraid he is dead." He slept there that night, and departed fur Cher. bourg. At that place it Is said that he has been confined by the British Consul; that having arrived there with a passport made out in a false name, and wishing to proceed, he applied to the Consul for one in his own name of Hawkey, and that he was detained in consequence. Another report is, that a letter has been received at Portsmouth, stating that is is the intention of both Mr. Hawkey and Mr. Pym to surrender about the middle of July, to stand their trial at Winchester. A third report says that Mr. Hawkey has never been live miles from Portsmouth since the affair. DEATH IN PARIS OF ONE OF THE FEMALE lOWAY I ND/ANL —The loway Indians have sustained a severe loss, 0-ke our.roi, the wife of Little Wolf, died on Thursday, of an affec tion of the lungs, brought on by grief for the death of' her young child in London. Her husband was unremitting in his endeavours to console her and restore her to the love of live, but she constantly replied—" No ! no! My four children recal me. I see them by the side of the Great Spirit. They stretch out their arms to me, and are astonished that Ido not join them." The Little Wolf has not appeared at the exhibition since Monday, not having quitted his dying wife for a minute, watching over her night and day, and suffering no one else but himself to perform the offices of tenderness which her condition required. She charged him to make her ac. knowledgments to the physicians who had kindly attended her, directed the dress she was to be buried in, and requested that a medal o' the Virgin Mother of the Great Spirit of the Christians, which she wore round her neck, might lilt be removed. The three other women wept over her corpse, although she belonged to a different tribe, the Sioux. who were enemies to the loways.

I happy to state that the lines proposed possess no pe culiar engineering difficulties. Only two short tunnels (each about a quarter of a mile in length) are necessary, and the ex cavations and embankments required are much under the usual average of railways in general. The gradients are also fa vourable, and there will be no plane which cannot be worked by an ordinary locomotive engine. Estimates of the probable traffic have been made, and the result is highly satisfactory. A line, connecting not only the whole of the north with the south of Devon, but several towns of the north with Exeter, the metropolis of the county, and passing through such an im portant agricultural district, requiring such large supplies of manure as this railway only can afford, cannot fail to yield a large return to the shareholders. The advantages of this rail way to the agriculturists and other inhabitants of the neigh bourhood will be immense. In the centre of the district lime will be reduced in price 40 per cent., and coals 50 per cent. ; agricultural produce and merchandise in general will be con veyed at less than one-fourth the present expense of conveyance. Thus not only will money be saved, but the resources of the country will be more fully developed, and all classes, including landlords, tenants, and labourers, will participate in the benefits.—( Hear, hear.) The Rev. BOUCHIER WRIT SAVILLE, vicar of Okehamp ton, -said he had been requested to move a resolution, which by the permission of the meeting he would now read; it was as follows :—" That this meeting having duly considered the prospectus of the Bideford and Tavistock Railway Com pany, and having heard with pleasure the addresses of a depu tation from the company, is of opinion that the construction of the proposed line of railway from Bideford to Tavistock, with branches to Barnstaple and Crediton, is calculated to promote in a high degree the interests of the county of Devon in general, and of this town and the surrounding district in par ticular, and is therefore deserving of the warmest support, and that therefore the meeting pledges itself to assist, by every means in its power, the accomplishment of this undertaking, and that the members for the county of Devon be earnestly re quested to support the same in Parliament."—( Cheers.) After the very full and satisfactory statements made by the gentle men of the deputation, he thought he was warranted in asking the meeting to adopt the resolution he had just read.—( Hear, and cheers.) For his own part, he could not but feel that the formation of the proposed railway would be attended with very great advantage to all persons residing either in the town or neighbourhood, and therefore he felt desirous that the com pany should have every encouragement. He had examined the line as marked out by the engineer, and had it explained to him, and for his own part he did not conceive that any line could be marked out that would more conduce to the interests of that town.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) One of the prin. cipal landowners of the district (Albany Saville, Esq.) had signified his approval of this line.—( Hear, and cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded his speech with advising all farmers, landowners, tradesmen, and others interested in the neighbour hood, at once to make application for shares. H. Comeste, Esq., of Okehampton, in seconding the reso lution, said the formation of the proposed railway would be an immense advantage to the inhabitants of this town and neigh bourhood, whether engaged in agricultural or mercantile pur suits, whether landowners, farmers, or labourers, whether en gaged in business or not. He recommended all interested in the prosperity of the town and neighbourhood to make at once applications for shares, and thereby convince the Parliament and the country that the line was one deserving of support. HENRY HAWSES, Esq., Okehampton, raid, before putting the resolution to the meeting, he should like to make an ob servation or two. He had the honour to represent the inte rest of the Rev. John Luxmoore, who, next to Mr. Saville, was, he believed, the largest landowner in the neighbourhood; and he had great pleasure in saying this undertaking had the hearty and liberal concurrence of that gentleman. From in terviews which he had had with some other landowners on the line between this town and Torrington, he further had the pleasure to assure the deputation that they were also not merely favourable to, but most desirous that this undertaking should succeed. CAUSEWAY BETWEEN MAHIM AND BANDORA. (From the British Indian Gentleman's Gazette, April 10.) The Causeway between Mahim and Bandora was opened on last Tuesday evening, in a manner which did honour not only to the founder of that most useful struc ture, but to the inhabitants of Bombay. From an early hour the roads leading to Mahim were thronged with vehicles, in which the natives of every de scription hastened to the neighbourhood of the cause way, and soon after three o'clock the carriages of the Europeans and wealthy inhabitants began to appear. From that hour the way to ~ : ahim presented a most animated appearance. The villages through the Toddy tree groves of Mahim were swarming with spectators at the long line of carriages of every description which ' passed on before them. The arrangements made by the police were excellent; constables were stationed at different barriers to keep the order required. At half-past four o'clock the car riages were drawn up in line from the end of the ap proach to the causeway, to the termination of the tow). They were stationed on the sid e o f th e roa d so as to allow those to pass on which were to take the lead in the procession. At half-past four o'clock the Hon. the Governor's carriage came to the grand entrance of Parell Palace, and the Governor and Sir Jarnsetjee Jejeebhoy, Knight, entered it, the latter having the seat of honour at the Governor's right hand. Escorted by the Lancers and followed by the aide-de-camps, and the staff of the garrison, &c. &c., they proceeded to Mahim, a distance of nearly three miles. At five o'clock they approached the Causeway, and the procession began from the front of Mahim Church, in the following order:— The Engineer Officer who constructed the Causeway, Captain Cruikshank, who was represented by Captain Marriott. The Establishment of the Engineer. The first part of the Lancers. The Governor's Band. The lion. the Governor's carritme. Captain Arthur, the Governor's Private Secretary on the one side, and Cursetjee Jamsetjee, Esq., on the left, with many other gentlemen on horseback. The personal retinue of the Hon. the Governor. The carriages followed in single line of the Commander in -Chief; of the Members of Council, of the Secre taries, ofermsoannges many Civil h l servants, of oftthtehis islandStaff,and . of the leading A party of Lancers closed the procession. A triumphal arch was erected at each entrance of the Causeway, and as the procession moved along it the coup MI d' 'I was magnificent. The bells of the church rang a merry peal. The groups that thronged around the sides of the way leading to the entrance in their white dresses, gave an air of splendour to the whole view. The great length of the procession, the moving spectacle around, the calm and beautiful expanse of water on bo''„ sides of the C auseway ; t h e tr i ump h al arches of the Mahina and Bandora entrances, the splendid pavil ion erected under the well-known large tree OR th e B an _ dora shore, require not to be described, When the head of the procession reached the centre of the Causeway a royal salute was fired from four guns stationed on the Salsette sands, under the command of Captain Unvvin. The Causeway was adorned with flags at regular dis tances, and about 150 seats were placed on the footways for the benefit of the pedestrians. It was satisfactory to behold the arrangements thus made for the convenience of l a n ll t e h l e d assevsv.eiii llgshouse of the chief native officer of Bandora (Comavisador), and near the pavillion, Lady Jamsetjee, with her family, bad taken their station, and on alighting from their carriages the Hon. the Governor and all the leading members of the company and their ladies there proceeded to offer to her Ladyship their congratulations on the completion of the Causeway. At six o'clock the last a the carriages arrived at the pavilion, when refreshments were prepared in the most sumptuous style. It was a beautiful sight to see the pa norama in the pavilion, where the ladies of Bombay, the members of the Government, and the secretaries and the civil servants, the number of officers, military, medical, and naval ; of the gentlemen of the bar, of the mercan tile houses, &c. &e., all seemed pleased on witnessing the public ceremony of opening the Causeway from Mahim to Bandora. At half-past six o'clock Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy stood at the head of the table, when the lion. the Governor, Sir George Arthur, supported by Sir T. M‘Mahon, the Conimander-in• Chief, the members of Council, &c., ad dressed him in the following manner : (i Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy,—lt gives me great pleasure to address you on this occasion, after having passed over the noble Causeway which through the munificence of your family, haa heen erected for the benfit of the public. f myself, as well as every one present, can bear testimony to the value of this splendid and most useful work. It af fords me, therefore, high gratification to address you, for I have to speak on a subject which is interesting to us all—to every one now present—and its interest is best proved by this numerous assembly. As the exact cir cumstances under which this Causeway has been con structed may not be known to all the company, I shall give a short explanatory history of the undertaking. Some years ago the Government of this Presidency, see ing the advantages of a regular communication between the 41ancis 0 1104114 y and Salsette, and being anxious The resolution was now put by the Mayor, and unanimously adopted by the meeting. T. R. Tooxx, Esq., one of the Directors, then rose and said—Having been deputed by the Board of Directors to re• present them, he begged to confirm, as far as they needed any confirmation, the statements made by the solicitor and engineer of the Company. He could assure the meeting that this was a solid and substantial undertaking, not set on foot in the spirit of mad speculation, but for the purpose of giving the benefit of railway communication to this important district of the country.-4 Hear, hear.) As the meeting had already heard, the number of shares that the Directors had to allot had been applied for three times over, and the allotments would be made, to the best of their belief, to bona fide applicants, to per. sons seeking for investment, not to mere speculators. This was not a paper line, but if duly supported, as by promises of the landowners there was every reason to expect, they might depend upon the railway being carried through, and the inesti mable benefits of railway communication conferred upon the neighbourhood. They had been recommended by the vicar to take their one, and two, and three shares, and he could assure them, from his own personal knowledge, that the Board of Directors would be glad to attend to any such application. The strength of all railway proprietaries lay in holders of ten and twenty shares.—( Hear, hear.) It was not in a spirit of specu lation that this railway was offered to them, but for purposes of solid investment. The vote of thanks was seconded, and carried by accla oration. The Mayon briefly acknowledged the vote, and the meet ing then separated shortly after five o'clock. NORTH DEVON RAILWAYS.—THE BIDEFORD AND TAVISTOCK RAILWAY.—IMPORTANT PUB LIC MEETING AT BIDEFORD. BIDEFORD, 1 1 19NDAT. On Tuesday, the 10th instant, a public meeting, convened ky the Mayor, in pursuance of a requisition, was held in the Town Hall, Bideford, "to take iota consideration the interest of the district relative to the several projected lines of railway dto this port, a n d f or adopting such measures as might be Q ,411,2 4 1 50 Thp m ee ti ng was numerous and . . to connect the towns of Mahim and Bandora by a cause way, had the ground surveyed, plans taken, and the estimates of the probable expense of the proposed work calculated. The expense of such an undertaking, it was reported, would be 67,000 rupees. The exigencies of the Government at the time being very great, the matter a as allowed to remain in abeyance until a more favourable opportunity should arise—it not being considered of so great importance as other proposed improvements then before the Government. This took place some years ago, and the plans remained unexecuted until the mon soon of 1841, I believe, when a distressing accident oc curred at the ferry here. A boat was swamped, and a number of poor natives, I think, 41.1011 L fifteen, lost their lives, This distressing accident was of' course a subject of conversation amongst the people, and came to the ears of Lady Jamsetjee, who ea greatly p a i ne d at its ctoneequeneee to the , f amilies of the sufferers. She spoke to you, and asked you why the Govertiment did not en deavour to remedy an evil which was the cause of such misery emong the pour of Sillsette ? The answer was that the Government was fully occupied on other matters of importance, and that, according to the estimates,'it would te e t telly vequire the large sum already et eas e l, but, moreover, that a second estimate 110 l e eS4, out, by which it was calculsteil (),m, a terther sum would he reF i tii?, ainaiinfing al,together to one lac of rupees e ;let consent o thp uoverement be obtained, was the answer of this noble-minded women, cas,d 1 will de fray ell e,appesee. 3 The eoeseee of Governmen; was than ohteined, 4.11 d the work c ommence d : b e t it r . discovered that f ur th er sums would b e es Se on neceesary to bring it to completion. Application was T.:iade to the Court of Directors for their aid and co - eperaticin, when they, with the liberality which has always characterised their pro ceedings whee celled upP,ri to assist the kenevolent na tiree in their good undertakings, gave their assent. Various other eater were, however, required and still supplied by Ludy Jamsetjee, till at length, after an ex penditure of 147,000 rupees, the structure was completed. It was then suggested that so handsome a structure de manded an equally handsome approach to it, for which it was calculated a sues of 20,000 rupees would be re quired, which further expenditure was entirely defrayed by that noble-minded person, Lady Jamsetjee. Thus, after an eTponditure of 167,000 rupees, has this great and most useful work been perfected, which reflects so great an honour on the kind, the charitable, the bene volent lady, who has thus eoetereed a lasting benefit on the inhabitants of these islands, whether rich or poor ; but more especially by the poorer classes has this great benefit been felt, as by this iioble donation their means of transit have been rendered permaneutiy secure, and their liven ensured to them from danger, As they have not the opportunity of rendering their thanks to Lady Jamsetjee in person, I an sure you will all unite with me in thanking her in their name, and, to perpetuate this noble deed, I this day propose that the Causeway henceforth bear the name of a Lady Jamsetjee's Cause way.' (Loud cheers,)--I have said that it givee see please re tq eddreee you, Sir Jamsetjee, on this oeeaeion, and the cause of that pleasure is that I win acquainted with your deeds of benevolence aol your unbounded munificence, at least in part, fur you have kept many of your good and generous notions eencealed from nee. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I have been cognizant only of some of the charities of this most liberal person, and when. a short thee after my arrival iti tide Government, I took occasion to add up the ametert of the then known charities of Sir Jamsejee, being ignorant of much more that has since come to my knowledge, you will doubt less be surprised when I tell you that it amounted that time to no less a sum than 100,000 pounds sterling, or ten lacks of rupeee. (Cheers.)—The character of Sir Jejeobhoy is known all over the world. Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen has expressed her approval of his conduct, and ber high sense of his benevolence and munificence, in proof of which she has been pleased to bestow upon him that special mark of distiretiun which is now hanging cm his breast, and whieli I ac count as one of the fortunate occurrences in my life that I had the honour of presenting to him. (Loud cheers.)—We have all heard of the munificence of the British merchants, bet give me a Bombay merchant for generosity, the eatensive proofs of which we ev er y d a y behold, It gives me, therefore, unfeigned satisfaction, in the presence of so many of the inhabitants of these two islands, to express my sense of the good, the humane, and the aiegnanimous conduct of Sir Jamsetjee Jejee bhoy, and his equally generotie consort. My earnest wish is that as their meritorious acts increase so may also in crease the length and happiness of their lives.—(Great applause.) I believe, Sir Jamsetjee, that acts of charity form part of the religion of your communion ; I will not say much on that score, but I am sure that no one will regard such deeds of charity performed by one of God's creatures, whatever his creed may be, without feelings of the deepest respect, and all acts arising from such motives, deserve the very greatest regard. Ladies and gentlemen, the noble structure over which we have this day passed has been named after its noble-hearted foun der, Lady Jamsetjee's Causeway. Let us now drink with enthusiasm to the 'Health of Lady Jamsetjee.' " The toast was drank with every expression of enthu siasm. Sir JAaISETJEE JEJEEBEIOY then addressed the com pany as follows:—" Ladies and gentlemen,—Allow me to return you my warmest thanks for your kindness in drinking the health of Lady Jamsetjee, and in doing so I cannot avoid expressing how gratified and flattered I am by this large assembly of my friends. To you, Sir George Arthur, and to those ladies who have come so far to grace this ceremony with their presence,l am under infinite obligations. It is a compliment I deeply feel, as, I am satisfied, will Lady Jamsetjee, who has looked for• ward to the opening of this Causeway as one of the hap piest moments of her life, and who could receive no more grateful appreciation of her motives than the presence on this occasion of so many of her sex. The Horourable the Governor has spoken of this work as one ema"ating in charity towards the poor, and I may truly say that it did so, for though such an undertaking had long pre viously been recommended to Government by its officers, as calculated to produce great public good, yet Lady Jamsetjee's offer to contribute largely towards it on the condition that no tolls should be levied on the public, was, I believe, the result of a pure desire to benefit the poor in many ways, and amongst others in preventing those accidents t o w hi c h Si r G eorge Arthur has so feel inglyh alluded. I may be permitted to say thus of the origin of a work of great public utility which did not emanate from me, but which, from domestic causes, I cannot otherwise regard than witn feelings of the greatest pride and satisfaction. The Honourable the Governor has alluded to former acts of charity on my part: I am sure I shall stand excused in not further adverting to them on this occasion, but it is grateful to me to know that my motives and conduct are appreciated by the head of the Government. I should now but ill consult nay own feelings were I to omit to sly how much I regret the absence of that able officer, Captain Cruickshank, under whose superintendence this Causeway has been commenced and completed. I should have been glad of the opportunity of tendering him personally and in the presence of this distinguished assembly my best thanks for the zeal and ability with which he has devoted him self to this undertaking. To him are we indebted for so early and successful a completion of the work which it is only due to him to pronounce as perfect in its con struction. I once again beg to offer you my sincere thanks for your kindness in meeting me on an occasion so full of interest to myself and for the generous warmth with which you have responded to the toast proposed by the Hon. the Governor.' Three cheers were then unanimously given for Sir Jamsetjee Jejechhoy, lint., by all the company. The Hon. the Governor soon after gave his arm to Sir Jamsetjee, and both left the pavilion together. Every attention was shown to the native gentlemen. The Mharwarrees, Parsees, and other native merchants of respectability, were invited for three o'clock, and the whole of the arrangements respecting them were admi rably conducted under the special direction of Cursetjee Jamsetjee, Esq. He was indefatigable in his endea vours ; he remained on horseback from two until six o'clock. The night came on, and as the carriages on their return emerged from the groves of Mahim, their lights, as they moved rapidly along, proved that there had beep raanv collected to do honour to a meritorious undertakin g - Thanks to the care and vigilance of the chip" • trate Mr. Le Geyt, and of Captain 13urrote s the super prevailed. of police, the utmost out r and regularity prevailed.

The following detail of trials of a defensive agent, and, at the same time, a life-preserver, adapted to the use of boarding parties, to crews of boats employed in cutting out ships, and troops in the passage of rivers, promises a valuable acquisition to the service, as fnrnished in a condensed extract from the recent letter of an officer to the inventor. It may be necessary to state that the Humane Society have adopted Mr. Pigot's apparatus, in preference to the belts, and that he has furnished eighty-seven to that institution. " No. 2 Battery, New Romney, Kent, June 4th, 1845. " I have now the satisfaction of replying to yours ; and having tested your life-preserver, will pass my unbiased opinion of them, and have to observe that, having seen many, I consider both to be the ne plus ultra. It is of importance to inform you that, in the event of the latter (the war life-preserver*) being wanted for particular service in the navy, you can inform your patronisers that a war in the sea or water may be carried on in it; but I will give you a short description of our trials—l may say official, as I had conferred with Capt. Peat, R.N., on the subject, who, some time ago, had been trying several others. " Trials. —First Day—Having put the air.chemisette on the chief boatman, with his lower garments on, and myself with the war life preserver at the same time (having a percussion port.fire with me), we both dashed from the steep beach into the sea, at which time I had 'worsted stockings,' flannel drawers,' heavy or flushing-trowsers, flannel shirt, over shirt, waistcoat and cap. After swimming out sometime I fired my blue-light (or port_ fire), as if for assistance : he swam lied offered it. After being some some time in the water we returned to the shore. I then tried a patent life coat, but found I could not, by all my exertion, get oil' my back, consequently I was obliged to swim ashore on my back ; this ended first trial. Next—Second Day—l reversed, by giving the chief boatman the war-life preserver, giving him a port fire, and without clothing, except his drawers and hat. I told him to makea signal after being some little distance off; he fired his port-fire; I then left the shore as though to either assist or engage him, and, when arriving at him, challenged him, when he replied, Don't touch me, or I will set fire to you.' I then snapped the pistol and the cap fired, but owing to my swimming after him I suppose some water got into the touchhole (as the pistol exploded afterwards) ; the pistol was carried in my hand during the time. The buoyancy of the war ones and the uses to which they would be applied are, in my opinion, so numerous, that I leave this to yourself. I wish you to understand from me that I entirely ap prove of them from these trials, under all circumstances, and will report the result to Captain Peat. The air.chernisettes will answer excellently for boat service of coastguard in rivers and creeks, and for stations on marshes, where there are so many divisions of the land by ditches, &c., for the prevention of smuggling.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE Lucretia Borgia was 'repeated last night, and the ballet of Rosida followed, and concluded the entertain ments. The house, notwithstanding the heat of the weather, was crowded to excess, but the excellent venti lation of this vast area in a great degree remedied the inconvenience that might be felt from the oppressive character of the weather in any other theatre. An acci dent whits occurred to Cerito at the close of the ballet causort a considerable sensation in the house, and ran - aptly terminated the piece. She slipped and fell heavily-on the stage in the last tableau, and hurt herself, it was supposed, severely. Her reappearance, however. reassured the audience, and showed that, however, un pleasant the accident, it was not, happily, of a serious character ; and the cheers with which she was greeted must have served as a panacea for her fright.

MAG AZINES-(CONTINUED). FISHER'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. In this number we have the commencement of " Sou venirs, a Voyage to India," by Capt. Doveton, which promises to be very interesting. " Trixidad in the Nineteenth Century," is concluded, and there is an account of the " Character and Habits of the Guaranno Indians," in which the writer observes that " to read of the primitive habits of our fellow -creatures is not only amusing, but is also highly instructive, as teaching us to be thankful to an all-bountiful Providence for the great benefits and advantages of civilization, which we enjoy in this our highly-favoured country." There is an article on the benefits of emigration, and there are i other papers of foreig❑ and colonial interest. I POI,Y TECHNIC MAGAZIAR.
