NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. MONDAY EVENlNG.—Although the list does not as yet ex hibit any extravagant " symptoms" of sport, we have every reason to anticipate a briliiant wind-np to one of the best seasons on record. On 4his day's racing we need not dwell— it was ample; and now that so many horses are relaved from the great event of the Meeting, there can be no doubt that the Plates, Handicaps, and Selling StakeS will fill well, - and that the addition of many other matches to those made yesterday evening, will enable the Stewards to extend the meeting to Saturday. Everything tends to encourage a belief that such will be the case. The town was never known to be sofull of horses, the weather favourable, although somewhat boisterous, and the attendance of company of every grade quite up to " concert pitch." Hitherto attention has been exclusively devoted to the Cambridgeshire Stakes, which, not withstanding the declarations made at Tattersall's last week, has turned out a good betting race. A great deal of business was transacted on it last night, The Baron, Ould 3reland, Alarm, Best Bower, Chertsey, Yardley, and Flattery having plenty of friends; Ould Ireland decidedly most in demand; Wolf-dog was on the decline. The prices, up to midnight, were as fol!ows :- 7 to 2 agst The Baron 6 to 1 a'ast Ould Ireland 8 to 1 agst Alarm 0 to 1 agst Wolf dog 40 to 1 agst Secundus 40 to 1 agst Everton (t) 50 to 1 agst Espoir (t) 1000 to 15 agst Event (t) 1000 to 15 agst Elenii (t) 1000 to 10 agst Young Loch invar (t) 1000 to 10 agst Ironmaster(t) 100 to 100 on Flattery agst 1 aiist Best Bower 1 agst Chertsev 1 agst King COb 1 agst Wee Pet 1 agst Yardley agst Flattery the Jockey Club dinner, 20 to 22 to .7,0 to At made Event the following matches were WUDNESDAY.—Duke of Bedford's Black Cat against Sir W.

FRIDAY.—Mr. Vernon's Hartshorn, Bst 71b, agst Lord Glasgow's Impertinence filly, 7st 61b. T.Y.C. 50, h ft. We have already stated that a large company has been attracted to the town by the prospect of fine weather and line sport, and large it is without taking into account the " chalice customers" who availed themselves of the special train, with the sole purpose of witnessing the race for the Cam bridgeshire. All the inns are full ; and lodgings, hacks, and fiys have been, and are likely to continue to be, at a high premium till the end of the Meeting. : Our attention as yet has been so entirely taken up by the immediate busi ness of the day, as to put a list of the arrivals out of the question. Premising, therefore, that his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, and a host of fashionables were on the heath, we must proceed without further preliminary to de scribe, as fully as circumstances will admit of, the various events brought to an issue this afternoon. Sweepstakes of 10 sovs. each ; for three yrs old, 7st 71b ; four, Bst 31b; five and upwards, Sat 81b. The winner to be sold for 350 sovs. if demanded, &c. Criterion Course.

The Devil-to-Pay made play at a good pace, followed by Beaumont and Captain Phebus to the Duke's stand, where the lead was taken by Captain Phebus, who was never afterwards caught, and won by half a length, Khorassan, who laid fourth to the distance, second, and the Devil-to-Pay a bad third. _ _ Handicap Sweepstakes of 25 sous. each, for three yrs old, &c.

Hartshorn went off with the lead, but in a few strides re signed to Scarlet Runner, who, with Paultons and the Ama ryllis filly in close attendance, made running at a good pace to the New Ground. Paultons then went in front, and had a decided lead till half-way up the ropes, when Fair Char lotte challenged, caught him on the post, and made it a dead heat; Scarlet Runner an indifferent third. The stakes were afterwards divided, and Fair Charlotte walked over. The Cambridgeshire Stakes of 25 sows. each, 10 ft, and only sft if declared, with 100 added. Cambridge Course. Last mile and a dis.

In very nearly this order they went a few strides beyond the Red Stand; Event then rushed through her horses, and went on with a strong lead, followed by Best Bower and Yardley, Alarm on their left, about fourth, The Baron, Elemi, Wee Pet, Ould Ireland, and several others, whose colours we could not catch, following them. The front rank was unbroken up to the Duke's Stand, where Ould Ireland and The Baron—in fact, all the Irish horses were beaten, and Alarm, taking the second place, and Yardley the third, the race was left to them. Alarm waited to the cords, where he went up to Event, quitted her half-way up, and won by a couple of lengths, E w s a - s en f t having a otirth,and sim be i b la i t advantage n . dhli over nlemi , Yardley.

The Marquis of HERTFORD then proposed " The Linen Trade—the staple trade of Ireland."—Three times three. J. RICHARDSON, Esq., Ingram, briefly acknowledged the toast. His LORDSHIP then said, I have now come to the conclud ing toast. It is, " Merry have we met, and merry may we soon meet again." The toast was duly acknowledged by the plaudits of the company. At the close, Mr. W. W. SJstrsore, of London, addressed his Lordship in the following terms : My Lord, this must have been, if not the • must glorious, yet the proudest day in your Lordship's life—a day on which the sun has broken through the darkest clouds, and the morning stars must have "sang together;" and the collected thousands of your Lordship's tenants are now shouting, and will be ever shouting, for joy. My Lord, in all human probability we " ne'er shall look upon the like again." The effects of such a marvellous display of the reciprocal interests, as between landlord and tenant, will pervade all time. The contented bearing of your Lordship's tenantry, - in every grade of life, down to the smallest occupiers, who evidently belong to that improving, neat and comfortable class, which from my intercourse in my professional avocations for the last twelve years, I have observed pre.-eminently attaches to the province of Ulster. I cannot conclude,' my . Lord, without expressing to your Lordship my gratitude for the urbanity and kindness shown to me by your Lordship and your deservedly esteemed agent, the Dean of Ross. lam proud, also, to have to acknowledge the great attention I received from James Watson, Esq., of Brookhill, that worthy veteran and champion of the Protestant ascendancy of these realms, and the best institutions of the United Kingdom, having, at the same time, due regard to living at peace with all men, " as far as is consistent with the maintenance of the integrity of the empire." On a given signal the band struck up the "National An them," which closed the proceedings. The company retired peaceably, all evincing the pleasure they had experienced at the entertainment.—lpswich Journal. ELEGANT LITERARY AND PICTORIAL PRESENT. — In noticing the splendid volume entitled " Evenings at Haddon Hall," just produced by the Baroness de Calabrella, and illustrated by Cattennole, the Britannia observes : " The volume before us is in every respect superior to any work of a similar kind we ever remember to have met with. The plates, beautifully engraved from drawings by Catter mole, render it one of the most elegant books ever laid on the table of a drawing-room. But the work possesses far higher claims to our notice than the mere beauty of its ap pearance. The contributions, by some of the most admired writers of the day, are evidently composed expressly for the work, and the accomplished lady who edits it has constructed a graceful framework, which unites the different beautiful tales into a continuous and pleasing narrative. The plates are so various that they give occasion for the representation of scenes and adventures in every age and country. We can mention none of the tales without praise, for all are ex cellent; but ' The Nubian Slave' will alone suffice to esta blish the claims of the work to originality and merit. The Baroness has certainly been quite successful, both in securing contributions from many of the most eminent writers of the ' day, and in producing a volume which will be the guide and delight of many a , family during the ensuing season."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WOLVERHAMPTON, CHESTER, AND BIRKENHEAD JUNCTION RAILWAY. MARKET DRAYTON, MONDAY NIGHT, TEN O'CLOCK.—An im portant meeting of the landowners, occupiers of land, and trades.. men of Market Drayton, was held this afternoon at the Phoenix Hotel, in that town, far the purpose of considering the proposal of the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway Company, to ccnstruct from Wolverhampton to Chester—by way of Market Drayton, and effecting a junction with the Chester and Birkenhead Railway—a direct line from London to Birkenhead and Holyhead. The chair was taken at two o'clock by Loxdale Warren, Esq., and among the gentlemen present were Mr. Sergeant Allen, one of the Provisional Committee ; R. Wrightson, Esq., T. Harris, Esq., H. Mayhew, Esq., T. Swinnerton, Esq., Thomas Harris, Esq., W. Warren, Esq., NV. Goodwin, Esq., J. Bird, Esq., Sand well, Esq , and many other of the most respectable inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood. Mr. J. Smith, solicitor to the Com pany, was also in attendance. The Criaramarr, in opening the business of the meeting, said he was fully aware of the benefits to be derived from railway com munication to and from their own town; if he needed ass illustra tion of that advantage, he had but to mention a fact that came within his own experience a few days ago. He travelled from Lon.. don to Stafford, a distance of 135 miles, in less than four hours, for 11. 12s. 6d., but it took him upwards of three hours to get from Stafford to Market Drayton, and cost him I!. I7s. ficl.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that was enough to show the necessity of a asure direct communication t Iween Market Drayton and London, or Liverpool, and other places. After some further observations, the Chairman concluded by calling upon Mr. Sergeant Allen, as one of the Directors, to explain to the meeting the objects of the Corn. pany, and the route they intended to pursue. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN then addressed the meeting at great length. He said he knew of no more valuable testimony that he could ad duce, than the remarks just made by the Chairman, to show the advantages of railway accommodation, and he was confident that Market Drayton must at no distant period be allowed to partici pate in the benefits to be thus obtained. After explaining the route of the proposed line, the Learned Sergeant said that he looked upon it as forming a direct communication, not only between Mar ket Drayton and the rising town of Birkenhead, but also tending to form a direct line of railway from Holyhead to London, of which parties travelling to or from Ireland would be sure to avail themselves, indeed it would effect a considerable saving in the distance, and, while saving time, would lessen the expense of the journey. From Holyhead a line was about to be made to Chester, and parties coming thence would pass along the line whose claims they were about to lay before the meeting. In addition to this, from Market Drayton a branch line would be thrown out to Stafford, where it would join the Trent Valley line, se that passengers would be conveyed on that railway direct to Rugby, and from thence the line to London, as is well known, was as direct as it could well be made. After having alluded to a rival project, which, however, would carry passengers a considerable distance out of their direct course, the Learned Gentleman adverted to the proposition of the Wolver hampton and Ellesmere Canal Company to convert their canal into a railway, and contended that, as they had no power to effect such an alteration, so neither would any Act of Parliament sanction it. That proposition was one of the most immodest he (Mr. Allen) ever knew:to emanatifrom a public company. It must be recollected that at the time the Canal Company obtained their powers for the purchase of the neeessary land, with or without the owners' consent, for the construction of the canal, it was obligatory on their part to keep up a water communication, and indeed that provision had induced other parties to cut intersecting and branch canals to a very large extent ; and he (Mr. Allen) should like to know how they wore to be disposed of if the main canal was done away with. Were this to be allowed, the branch would be of no Rather service than to remain as pools for the feeding of pike and perch. Another reason why the canal scheme could not be supposed to answer the ends of the projects was, the great addition which it would snake in the distance between Wolverhampton and Chester, and con sequently in the fares of the passengers. The expense of tra velling was not all, for, as the meeting were aware, the charge by railway was so much per ton per mile upon merchandise; and if the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction would effect, as it was intended, a saving of twenty-five miles between the termini—the usual charge was :lel. per ton per mile on iron from South Staffordshire or Shropshire—a saving of 4s. 'Jd, per ton on iron would be effected in the present price at Liverpool. The ironinasters of the district through which the line passed would thus be enabled to compete with the Scotch markets.—(Bear, hear, and cheers.) After some other observations, the Learned Sergeant concluded by moving the first resolution, which was--`. That a direct railway communication between Wolverhampton and 13irken head, by way of Chester, was essentially requisite." It. WitionTsoN, Esq, seconded the resolution i❑ a long and able speech, after which The CHAIRMAN submitted the motion to the meeting, and it was carried unanimously. -..- SWINNERTON, Esq., of Market Drayton, moved the second resolution, to the effect that the proposed Birkenhead, Chester, and Wolverhampton Junction Railway offered the greatest advan tages as a direct line between the respective towns. and pledging the meeting to support it. _ _ . W. GODWIN, Esq., of Market Drayton, having seconded the resolution, it wasput to the meeting, and carried by acclamation. SANDWELL,. Esq., of Market Drayton, proposed that a local committee be formed for supporting the views of the projectors of the line.—(Cheers.) H. MsYnaw, Esq., seconded the resolution in an able speech. He contended that the policy of the nation was progressive, and that con tinued improvements were requisite far the benefit of the population. of the county. One of those improvements was railway accommo dation. With reference to the recent panic in the money mar ket,'he maintained that it was both groundless and futile, and bad originated with parties who were actuated by interested views. It had been stated that 40,000,0001. was required for the purpose of bringing forward the various railway projects of the present day, and that it could not be accomplished without bringing the coun try to the eve of bankruptcy. At that announcement he was aware some parties gazed in stupid ignorance, but the fact was, such people were not acquainted with the vast resources of the country. In the time of the late war that sum, and more than it, was raised every year for the carrying on of the conflict, and in later years it was found that 20,000,0001. could readily be paid for the emancipation of the poor slaves.--(Loud cheers.) It must be recollected, too, that the sum now required was not for the purpose of being sent out of the country, but would be the means of pro viding a vast amount of employment, and of conferring a lasting benefit upon the country. After deprecating the conduct of the Bank of England in raising the amount of discount. Mr. Mayhew concluded by seconding the resolution, which was passed unani mously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman having been passed, the meet ing soon afterwards separated. The whole of the resolutions were passed unanimously, and the best feeling pervaded the meeting. BOULOGNE AND AMIENS RAILWAY. A meeting of the Shareholders and Proprietors in this rail way took place on Thursday at Paris. Shortly after two o'clock M. 'AMITE opened the busi ness of the meeting, and said that these were the usual pre liminary forms required by law ; but as he believed it would be sufficient to lay them upon the table, and would not be necessary to read them, he would now proceed to read the report of the Directors. The document was written in the French language, and occupied nearly twenty closely written folio pages. There was also, we were told, but one copy of it, for it had not been " printed and circulated among the share holders." Apprehending that such would be the case, we applied in the early part of the day at the proper quarter, and at much personal inconvenience,_ for permission to copy it or translate it, either in the assembly-room, or in any other part cf the building, where the meeting was to be held, or such portion of it as we should be able to accomplish before the business of the day commenced ; but, notwithstanding that we represented as strongly as we could the great convenience that such an accommodation would afford us, the immense distance we had travelled to be present at the meeting, the great importance it would be to the English shareholders in the line to have the report translated and published in the English newspapers with as little delay as possible ; notwithstanding that we urged all this, and a great deal more, we were peremptorily refused any such accommoda tion •, and were told that to get a copy of the report was out of the question, either before or after the meeting; and that, theretbre, we should take notes of the substance of it as it was read by the chairman. Owing, however, to the courtesy of that gentleman the report was handed to us after the meeting had separated to make extracts from ; but it was then past four o'clock, and as the only mail for England that d my left at five, we were obliged to snake a very hurried summary of the report which we subjoin, and which contains all the substantial facts set forth in it. It contained, in the first two or three pages, the usual congratulatory paragraphs, such as that since the directors (leconseil d'admistration) had obtained the necessary powers to proceed with the work, they had lost no time in making all the preliminary arrangements for doing so ; that it was a line which promised to prove not only a profitable one to the shareholders as a commercial specu- lation, but also one of great advantage to the many large dis tricts of country which surrounded it on all sides, which at present had no railway accommodation of any sort, as well as to the constant influx of strangers to France, from the ports of Dover and Folkstone, who wished to reach Paris by Boulogne in a shorter time than that now occupied in accom plishing the journey by the long and wearisome route tra versed by the public diligence; that the line from Amiens to Paris would also, it was expected, be put in course of formation in a short time, and thus give a complete railway communication from Boulogne to the French capital by the Amiens route; that the ground for the formation of the line to Amiens had been obtained with very little diffiulty, owing, the administration felt convinced, to the fact that the project was one which enjoyed a large share of the public confidence ; that it would pass either through, or close by, many small towns along the course it proposed to traverse, the inhabitants of which looked upon it as quite a desideratum ; that the engineers had applied, and were still applying themselves to their part of the work with all due diligence, and that their working engineer, M. Bazael, would leave nothing on his part undone to facili tate the execution of those works ; that the administration had had assurances from the municipal council of Belgium to the effect that every facility would be offered by them for the extension of the line in that direction, that travellers who were now compelled to take the route by Abbeville, Ban vais, and the other towns in that direction to Paris, would very gladly avail themselves of this, in consequence of the much shorter time the journey to the French metropolis from Boulogne would then occupy. The report then went on to say, that the line of route from Amiens, it was proposed by the " administration," should be by Noyelles-sur-Mer from Amiens, close by the town of Valery; that as it passed through Amiens it should cross the river that watered that town, and thence on to Estaple, leaving which town, it would run along by the valley of the Liami to Boulogne, where it would for the present form its second termini : that the total length of the line so far would be 123 kiloms., which could be easily traversed in about seven hours ; that the line was almost a perfect level for one half of the entire distance, and that the other half was to run along a country of such a nature, that the cuttings would be very trifling, the gradients by no means steep, the works generally. presenting no engineering difficulties whatever, and that there would not be a single tunnel upon the whole of the line; that near the town of Estaple the line will cros the river Couche, at the part delineated in the map, by means 0f.4 viaduct, 250 metres long (about 600 feet), a work to the formation of which very few difficulties of any mo ment presented themselves. But at Amiens the line would meet the great northern line, and it was proposed that the stations of both those companies at Amiens should be one am! the same, i.e., one station common to the use of both, provided some impediment that could rot now be foreseen did not arise to mar so desirable an arrangement. That the land required for the cuttings and other works in the different arrondissements through which it was proposed the line should pasS, had been submitted to courts of arbitration, to determine its value, and that in every case the question of claim for compensation had been amicably and most satisfactorily arranged. That before the end of the present year, the works, shops, &c, vnd the most important part of the line will have been completed; and that before the end of the year 1846, the principal works between Amiens and Estaple, will also have been completed; and that every arrangement had been made to insure the completion of the works on that portion of the line betwenf Amiens and Abbeville, by the same period, and that there fore the "administration" had every reason to hope that the entire of the line frem one terminus to the other would be finished and thrown open to the public by the month of May, 1847. The report then entered into an elaborate detail of the many advantages that would accrue to the shareholders from the fact of their connexion with the Northern line, and having concluded with that a-surance, it then set forth a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the company since its commencement, by which it appeared that the liabilities already incurred amounted to 11,897,789 f, leaving still in the hands of the treasurer a balance amounting to about 1,000,000 f. A SHAREHOLDER proposed that steps be taken to bring about an amalgamation of this company with the Northern, but after a short discussion he withdrew his motion, a mem ber of the "administration" having stated that this com pany we: e always anxious for such a measure, and would be ready to adopt it at any time, and were only prevented from adopting it before now by reason of the delay attendant upon the applications necessary to be made to the Conseil d'Etat before such an arrangement could be entered into. The proceedings of the day were wound up by a speech from M. Bazael, the engineer of the line, who in the course of his observations said, that the works had already been com menced between Amiens and Abbeville, and also in the neigh bourhood of Estaple; that some portion of the line would be open to the public within two months after the opening of the Northern line next year. That the interval between Abbe ville and Estaple, passing through or by fortified places, would have to be disposed of by the military council; but owing to previous arrangements that had been made, very little had been lett for that body to do, for the plans for the works at these places were so plain and simple that he had no fear of their being objected to. He concluded by stating that he had had no engineering difficulties to encounter, and that the re maining part of the line between Estaple and Boulogne, he felt assured, would be completed in such time as to enable the whole of the line to be thrown open to the public by the spring of 1847. . The CHAIRMAN announced that a dividend after the rate of four francs per share had been declared, and would be pay able on and after the oth of November next. The report and statement of accounts were then unani mously received and adopted, the same directors, or " ad ministration," re-elected, after which a compliment was paid to them and the chairman for their services, and the meeting separtaed.—chronicle. RAILWAY DEPOSITS. CHRONICLE—The " standing order" applicable to the pay. merit of deposits on railway Bills does not enjoin any specific mode of making the payment, but simply requires that a sum, equal to one-tenth part of the amount subscribed, shall be deposited with the Court of Chancery, if the railway is intended to be made in England ; with the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, or the Court of Chancery in England, if the railway is intended to be made in Scotland ; and with the Court of Cl.ancery in Ireland, if it is in. tended to be made in Ireland. As respects railway Bills which were before Parliament during last session, and which may be again in troduced in the next, or which were provisionally registered, or the subscription contract for which was in whole or partly executed before the 29th of July, 1644, a sum only equal to one twentieth part of the amount subscribed is required to be de posited previous to presenting the petition for the Bill. The act 1 and 2 Vic., chap. 117, provides that in all cases where it is required by any standing order of either House of Parliament that any sum of money shall be paid by the subscribers to any work or undertaking to be made under the authority of Parliament, the Speaker may direct an application from any five of the directors of the company, that the money shall be paidinto thehands the Accountant-General of the Court of Exchequer if the work is in England, " or into the Bank of England, in the name and with the privity of the said Accountant. General;" or into any of the banks of Scotland established by Act of Parliament or royal charter, in the name and with the privity of the Queen's Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, in case the work is to be made in Scotland; or into the Bank of Ireland, with the privity of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, if the work is to be executed in any part of Ireland. An account is also ordered to be opened in the name of the Accountant- General, and the money is to be placed to the credit of such account. It is directed that every sum paid into the Bank of England in the name of, and with the pri. vity of the Accountant-General of the Court of Exchequer, shall be paid in and placed to his account there, " pursuant to the method " prescribed by the Act 1 Geo. IV., c. 35, and in Ireland, according to the provisions of the Act. 23 and 24 Geo. 111. The ninth section of the Act above referred to, namely, 1 Geo. IV . c. 31, enacts that whenever, at any time at.er the appointment of a person to Le Accountant-General, any person or persons are ordered to pay " any sum or sums of money, or any Exchequer bills, bills of exchange, or other negotiable securities into the Bar* of England, the party on whom the order is made shall, with the privity of such Accountant-General, pay the same into the Bank of England " to the account of the Accountant-General of the said Court, and the party paying shall take a receipt for the same " prom one of the " cashiers "of the Bank. After the deposits have been so paid in to the credit of the Accountant-General, if the parties who make the payment desire to have any part invested, the Court on a petition will order that the same be laid out in the Threeper Cents. Consolidated or Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, or any Government security or securities. There does not appear to be any specific day fixed for making payment of the deposits to the Accountant-General, the only requisite being that the payments shall be made " previous to the presentation" of the petition for the Bill. Neither Is there any proviso that the payment shall be made in coin and bank notes. On the contrary, there is authority in the Act 1 Geo. IV., c. 35, for believing that it may be made in different kinds of negotiable securities there_ mentioned, viz., " Exchexuer.bills, bills of ei. change, or other negotiable securities... If the Bank Dieectors choose to make arrangements with the various blinks who now hold the deposits, there is nothing to prevent them from receiving short bills of exchange, or other negotiable securities, falling due before the time that Parliament meets, in payment. The promoters of railway Bills are only re. quired to pay the deposits before the petitions for their Bills are presented to the Speaker. Their solicitors will of course intimate to their banker the day when this step is to be taken, so that the deposits may be forthcoming; and for that pur pose it may be now easily arranged to be at the bankers' credit, in the Bank of England, before the period when the petition will be presented. Should this arrangement be complet:..3, it will follow that, when the order of the Speaker is received, directing the . Accountant-General to open 'an account for behoof of the railway company in the Bank of Enghtfid, the clerks of that este. blishment will have nothing more to do than to debit the account of the bankers making the deposit, and to credit the amount in account to the credit of the railway company with the Accountant. General. If the banks who hold the deposits place in the hands of the Bank of England short bills to cover the amount which will be required of them, so as to have the same at their own credit in the books of the Bank of England, the solicitors of the differentcom ponies will apply to the Speaker of the House of Commons, who thereupon will order the money to be paid to the Accountant- General, and an account to be opened in his name for that pur pose, upon which the amount will be transferred from the credit of the bankers' account to the credit of the Accountant-General. Bills of ezehange, Exchequer-bills, or other negotiable securities, may be used for the purpose on the usual terms. It might be good step for scripholders to apply by written requisition to the Provisional Committees, calling upon them to explain the position of their finances ; distinguishing the amount of deposit paid, the number of shares allotted, the number of shares reserved, the names of the banks who hold the deposits, and the manner, amount, and nature of investment. Information of this description, if, officially published, would tend to establish the credit of benafsde schemes, and to enable the public to draw a line of distinction between the good and the bad. The weeding process would then commence in earnest, and while substantial lines would recover their proper post tion, the bubbles would burst. - TIMES.—Now that the notion bas been put forth of making the exposure of the railway mania depend upon a preliminary in vestigation into the amount of deposit paid to the credit of the various new companies, but more particularly those originating in the present year, and not yet submitted to Parliament, we find most people in the City Inclined to postpone all consideration of the manner of making the payments to the Accountant-General, as only an encumbrance upon the question, until this first step has been established. It is extremely probable that those companies which have honest intentions, and are in all respects of a bona f ir character, Without any false assumption of names or granting in. demnities, will volunteer some such communications on the state of their accounts at their bankers as may satisfy those embarked with them in the undertaking, and form tit basis of a fund of information, such as that now desired by the public. This they will of course make known through the ordinary medium of adver tisements, but we may give place here to the first instance of the kind which has come under our observation, for the sake of the good example it will afford to the rest. With respect, then, to the Chepstow, Forest of Dean, and Gloucester Junction Railway Company, Mr. W. T. H. Phelps, the solicitor thereof, desires to state, for the satisfaction of the shareholders, that the suns of 54,000/, has been paid into the bankers' hands to its credit, the greater portion of which has since been invested at interest; that the whole of the deposit called for amounts to 60,0001., some unallotted shares to the ex tent of the difference between the two sums " having been re served for the landowners on the line or for contingent circurr. stances, as is usual in all railways." This is setting a goad pre cedent for others to follow, a•td one part of this statesnent lessds to anot h er consideration for the benefit of the participators in similar companies, in showing that it is not always left to the bankers to use the deposits rs they please, but that the parties themselves direct an investment to be made, the profit upon which goes of course to the credit of the concern. MIDLAND RAILWAY RAILWAY. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR. BOTELER, Q.C., BANKRUPTCY COMMISSIONER. OULTON, NE/IR LEEDS, MONDAY.-The inquest on the mortal remains of Mr. Boteler, late one of her Majesty's Counsel, and a Bankruptcy Commissioner, were resumed to.day at Oulton, in the large room of the New Mason's Arms Inn, before Mr. Jewison, Coroner :—Among those present were Mr. Sangster, solicitor, of Leeds, who attended on behalf of the family of the deceased; Mr. J. A. Ikin, Town Clerk of Leeds, who appeared for Sergeant Stubbs, whose leg was broken by the accident; Mr. Palfreyrnan, of Sheffield, who appeared for Thomas Wheatley, the driv. r of the assistant engine which ran into the train ; Mr. Macauley, of Leicester, soli citor to:the Midland Raliway Company ; Mr. Bell, their secretary, and three of their directors, Sir Isaac Morley, Mr. Joseph Houlds worth, and Mr. Hutchinson. John Porter, one of the guards of the railway on the mail train, underwent a long examination, which we refrain from entering into at present, as, up to the hour of receiving our report, the In. quiry had not terminated. CHRISTCHURCH, OCT. 25.—T11E POACHING CASE AGAlN.—James Purchase and Henry Burry, who, about a fortnight ago, were charged by the Hon. Grantley Berkeley with poaching, and tined 20s. each, were again brought be fore the magistrates on Monday last, for a similar offence, but to be tried under another Act. The investigation of the case occupied the bench a considerable time. The magis trates considered that the case did not come within the mean ing of the Act, and it was at length dismissed. The trial, throughout, caused considerable excitement, and placed Mr. Berkeley in anything but an enviable position, for upon the Hon. Gentleman leaving the Hall he was accosted by the crowd with all kinds of opprobrious terms, the shaking of ribbons in his face, and other marks of disapprobation.— ilitnipsliire Advertiser. THE FAST DAY IN GLAsgow.—Thursday was the Sacramental Fast-day here, and it was observed much in the usual way that it has been of late years. The weather was dry, and nu merous parties went abroad in steamboats and by railway, and all other sorts of conveyances.

THE QUEEN C, CLINTON. John Comstock Clinton was brought up under a writ - f babtaS corpus before Mr. Byron Platt, at his Chambers, in Rolls-gal r, for the purpose of obtaining his discharge fom custody. It riVir re membered that the prisoner was committed from Bow street bri'flui 6th instant, upon a charge of fernery alleged to have been committed by him in the United States of North America several years ago. Mr. Baron Matt, on originally granting the habeas corpus, signified, that if on hearing Counsel he should entertain a strong opinion in favour of the prisoner, he should at once discharge him; but that, if his opinion were adverse, he should adjourn the matter for argu ment in the Queen's Bench. The return to the writ having been en larged at the desire of the prisoner's Counsel, the argument stood over until Saturday, when Sir Jobs Bailey appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Knowles and Mr. Clarkson for the prisoner. Mr. Baron PLATT said he should think over the _matter,- and the prisoner must be brought up again. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. SINGULAR APPLICATION.—THE CONVICT'S WELCOME HOME.—A sun-burnt, weather-beaten man. about thirty years of age, applied to Mr. Broughton for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : The applicant said, that in the early part of the year ISM he had the misfortune to be convicted at the Old Bailey on a charge of felony, for which he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. lie had formerly been in very comfortable circumstances, and at the time •f his apprehension was in possession of an eight-roomed house well stocked with furniture, which he left in charge of his wife until such a favourable turn occurred in his affairs as would enable hint to reclaim it. After an affecting interview with his wife, who ap peared almost heartbroken at his misfortunes, he vas transferred to Ids place of destination. where he served cut his sentence, and al though greatly surprised at not receiving any communication from home during the whole period, he was somewhat consoled upon hear ing indirectly that his spotr:e was in most prosperous circumstances, and he therefore cheered himself with the anticipation of being able on his return home to resume an honest course of life, and spend the rest of his days in respectability and comfort. On reaching this country, about a week since, he proceeded direct to his wile's resi dence, but was astounded at finding her living under the protection of another man, and instead of the fond welcome he hail expected, she told him tartly that she considered his conviction had entirel✓ absolved her from the marriage contract, and Was resolved that she would have nothing more to say to him. Having failed in all Isis efforts to work upon her feelings, he requested that she would at least restore him the goods he had left in her care, and the greater part of which he recognised in the room, but she positively refused to do so ; and her paramour at the same time stepped forward, and, after claiming everything there as his own property, ordered him instantly out of the house. The applicant concluded by saying that he had entirely depended upon the recovery of the property to restore him to something like a decent position in society ; and has ing been defrauded in such a cruel and unjust manner, he wished to know whether the magistrate could afford him any assistance to procure its restoration. Mr. BROUGIITON informed the applicant that, according to the strict letter of the law, everyWng be possessed at the tine of his conviction had become forfeit to the Crown, but as the sequestration did not appear to have been enfo ced, and his future prospects of an honest existence depended upon the recovery of the property, he would direct one of the officers to see la's wife upon the subject, and endeavour to effect an amicable arrangement. Sergeant Brannan afterwards repaired with the applicant to the house of his wife, and succeeded in inducing her to give him a sum of 151., as an equivalent for the furniture, on the express condition that lie should relinquish every claim upon her property, and never again come near her, to which the husband reluctantly acceded. 14 to 14 to 20 to Won in a canter.

Such conduct is beyond praise, and worthy of imitation.

'EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OE --- ITO;RERY AND CE H L. Cow.—Mr. Robert Augustus Barnett, surgeon, was brought before Mr. Bal. lantinc. charged with felony. Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine, jun., the barrister, and Mr. Furl]ley, a solicitor, lbr the defence. The case excited great interest. The prisoner, a tall we l l-dressed man, of gentlemanly appearance and good address, is the son of Dr. Barnett, of Fore-street, Lhuehouse, and his brother, Mr. Adolphus Barnett, is the registrar of births, deaths, and marriages, and keeps the Post-otlice receiving house and Money-order office, in Three Colt-street, Limehouse, where the prisoner, who has been some time sought after, was apprehended on Saturday night. Mr. Pelham said the prosecutor in this case was Mr. Arthur Ather ley Newman, a retired saddler, now living in Nelson-street, Com mercial-road, and he charged the prisoner not only with robbing him of his property, but robbing him of his wife. The MAGISTRATE said he was not Ina condition to try a case of crim. con. Mr. Pelham was aware of that. He meant to confine himself to the charge of stealing the prosecutor's goods. Mr. Newman was re siding in Bower-street, Commercial-road, in December last ; he had been married to his wife several years, and she had borne him three children. Mrs. Newman was confined with her third child in the second or third week of November last, and in consequence of the want of aceommodation in the house, Mr. Newman was obliged to take lodgings at the Angel, in Fenchurch-street, during his wife's confinement. The prisoner, who had been on intimate terms with Mr. Newman, took advantage of his friend's absence from home, and seduced his wife, whom he prevailed on to leave ter home. and take her goods with her. He was instructed that the prisoner had stolen the goods as well as the wife. The MAGISTRATE—I don't know which is the greater loss of the two. How do you shape your charge? Mr. Pelham—Why, Sir, think I can prove the prisoner pawned and sold som e o f th e prose cutor's property. Mr. Barnett absconded with the wif e on th e 16 th of last December, just a month after the birth of her child. The prosecutor was unable to meet witk the prisoner till late on Saturday, having traced him from place to place, when he gave him in charge. If these two persons were living in adultery, and he took her away and the furniture also, I apprehend that would be a felony on tho part of the prisoner. There is the case of Tolfree. - Mr. Itallantine, jun.—The late case of Rosenberg has over-ruled that. There is no case of felony at all. The MAGISTRATE—I will hear the witnesses at any rate. lir. Newman, who appeared ranch affected, was then sworn, and he stated that he occupied two rooms at the house, No. 25, Bower street, where his wife was confined, and he gave one of them up to a fermate servant, and hired lodgings at the Angel. After his wife had been confined a mouth she complained of the weak state of her health, and expressed a wish to go into the country and visit her father. lie gave her permission to do so, and she left home as he thought for that purpose. Three days afterwards he wrote to her father to ascertain if she had arrived safe, and was thunderstruck at the reply he received, that she had not visited her father at all. On going home he found the place stripped of all the furniture. and ascer tained that the prisoner had eloped with his wife. He subsequently traced his ilirniture to Shepperton Cottages, Islington, to which place the prisoner had first removed Mrs. Newman, afterwards to the house of a person named Erick, in Cambridge-heath, Hackney road, to Marlborough-place, East Greenwich, and lastly to 'Upper York-street, Itotherhithe. The M&clsm&TE—What was their object in moving from place to place ? Mr. Newman said it was done to prevent him recovering his furniture. He had ascertained that his wife r awned a pianoforte, and that the prisoner had pive.ted a bolster and a blanket belonging to him. Charlotte ',adding, a young woman, said she was servant to the prosecutor in November and December last, and recollected the visits of the prisoner to her mistress during her confinement.' The witness, who seemed to treat the affair with much levity, and ap peared anxious to screen the prisoner, entered into a detail of the intrigues of her mistress and Barnett, which created much disgust. She said her master did not sleep at home, in consequence of the want of accommodation, and that she assisted her mistress in packing up the furniture and valuables. The prisoner lent a hand in packing the goods, which were removed in vans, after sunset. She recol lected a buskenct being Wien away one Saturday morning by Mr. Bartlett. Mrs. Newman lea home at ten o'clock the same morning, and the linen went with her. Witness accompanied one van full of goods to Erick's house. It left the house in Bower-street while Mr. Barnett was in bed. Mr. Ballantine, jun.—The buskenet is a small cradle, and was necessary fur the intlint, was It not ? Witness—Yes, it was, Sir. In further examination the witness said she obliterated the Initials and marks on the linen by Mrs. Newman's orders, when her husband was t seertaiued to be in pursuit of her. She did not hear Mr. Barnett give orders for the removal of anythin7. Mr. Barnett wishel Mrs. Newman to leave the furniture, but she said " No, if you take me you must take the furniture ; I won't g* alone." The MAGISTRATE said it was impossible to carry this Case any further. The charge of felony could not be sustained, and the pri soner must be discharged. If the prosecutor could obtain any further evidence, he could go before the trend jury and Indict this fellow. Mr. Pelham—My client I as lost the whole of his property. The MAGISTRATE — That is the greatest loss—much greater than the loss of such a woman as his wife. The prisoner was then liberated, and was immediately joined by the ee prosecutor'smedtoan impudent little woman, w h o l aughed, and it amusement from the proceedi ngs . seemed eri, derive merit KINGSTON. A labouring man, named Robert Hook, appeared before Sir Richard Frederick and Messrs. Weeding and Sharpe, to answer an informa tion laid against him by one of the gamekeepers of his Majesty the King of the Belgians, charging him with having trespassed upon th e preserves of his Majesty at Claremont, in pursuit of game. Smithers, the complainant, deposed that he was in the service of his Majesty the King of the Belgians, and was employed with others to protect the preserves tbr game. As he was going his rounds, on the day mentioned in the information, he found a hare caught in a snare, and having communicated the fact to the head keeper, he and other men were directed to watch for the person who m:ght come to take it away. They did so accordingly, and about the middle of the day defendant was seen to walk towards the spot, looking very cau tiously about him, and he then went towards the spot where the snare was, and in a short time came back again, upon which they stopped him, and found the hare in his pocket. Sir RICHARD FREDERICK asked the defendant what answer he had to make to the statement of the keeper? The defendant replied that he admitted he had the hare; but he denied all knowledge of the snare being placed in the preserve. lle was going aceigentally through the wood, when he saw the hare caught, and he thought it was no harm to pick it up. The MAGISTRATES inquired if the defendant was known, and what character he bore ? The keeper said he was a notorious poacher, and had several times been convicted of similar offences.

MlNl.—Yesterday , in consequence of it having become known to the inhabitant householders in Farringdon-street and the locality (whose houses will have to be removed for the line to be formed by the Direct London and Manchester Railway, and for the terminus to be constructed in Farringdon-market, and between that spot and Harp alley), that the Committee to which a plan had been referred by a Court of Common Council would report in its favour, a petition in opposition obtained numerous signatures, to be presented to the Court at its next meeting, when the subject of the adoption of the proposal of the company to purchase the market will be taken into con sideration by that body. The petitioners set forth that a great sacrifice of property would be the consequence of the removal of such a large number of houses as will be required for the com pany's premises, while the most serious injury would be inflicted on tradesmen who would be compelled to leave; and they suggest the propriety of allowing the site of SmithAeld-market to be substituted, which they allege contains a sufficient area for the termini and warehouses that would be required by the various companies who have applied for stations in Farringdon-street. They also state in their petition that there are numerous streets leading into Smith field which could he made available for traffic at a small expense, and that in making the alteration necessary for the termini in Far ringdou-street, an immense outlay of money will be necessary. Some of the Common Councilmen of the ward have been applied:to:upon tho subject, and they hive promised to take the subject into their con sideration. Within the last fortnight several Government offi cials have been examining the state of the ramparts and other Oe fences of Berwick. It is known that Government have in contem plation some extensive plan for the improvement of the means of de fence of our coasts, in the view of hostilities breaking out with the United States, in consequence of the grasping aggressions of that power, and its infringement of our territorial rights on the North American continent. It is not improbable, therefore, that at no dis tant date, the fortifications of Berwick may be put into a state of efficiency, the batteries mounted with cannon, and sufficient force of military lodged in the barracks .o repel temporarily.the attack of an enemy.—Bearkk Warder. FIRE AT SUNNING-HILL VICARAGE, NEAR WINDSOR GREAT PARK .—WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENlNG.—Considerable alarm was created in Windsor this afternoon by the arrival of a messenger, on horseback, from the Rev. A. M. Wale, of Sunning-hill Vicarage, with the news that the Vicarage-house was on fire, and that it was feared the whole building would fall a prey to the flames. No time was lost in having post-horses attached to the borough engine, and sent off to the Vicarage. The Castle engine, and also the engine belonging to the brewery of Nevile Reid and Co., were also forwarded without the least delay. Fortunately, however, before their arrival at Sunning-hill the fire, which was occasioned by the ignition of the soot in a flue, and which had consumed some portion of the dwelling house, had been very considerably got under by the exertions of the work-people in the neighbourhood. Had the fire extended, it was feared that the safety of the church, which nearly adjoins the house of the Rev. Mr. Wale, 2 would have been placed in the most immi nent danger.
