HER .MAJESTYS VislT TO THE CONTINENT. • FULDA, WEDNESDAY. At half-past eight o'clock this evening her Majesty took leave of her illustrious relations, at the palace of Friedrichsthal, with the exception of the King and Queen of the Belgians, who started at five o'clock this morn ing post for Antwerp, to make preparations for the reception of the Queen on her arrival at that place. The Duchess of Kent, after taking leave of her illustrious daughter, also left this morning tbr the chateau of Rheinartsbrunn, where she will pass some days previous to her return to England. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha feeling that their hospitable duties did not terminate at the palace gates, accompanied the royal guests to the confines of their domi nions, which join the territory of the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar between Gotha and Eisenach. With many mutual and sincere expressions of regret at separation, the royal re latives here took leave of each other, the Duke and Duchess of `axe Coburg Gotha returning to their palace at Gotha, and her Majesty proceeded rapidly to the old town of Eisenach, where the Grand Duke Charles Frederick of Saxe Weimar was waiting to welcome our Sovereign to his dominions. On entering, her Majesty alighted at the Rau. en-Kranz, and greeted the Grand Duke with much cordiality. As there is nothing particularly e orthy of the traveller's attention in Eisenach, the Grand Duke had several of his carriages in reaainess to convey her Majesty to the quaint antique castle of Wartburg, which is perched upon the top of a hill, about two miles distant from the town. Her Majesty expressed her readiness to make this slight detour, iu compliance with the Grand Duke's invitation, and was handed at once into his Highness's carriage, which set ofl forthwith for Wartburg. There are several historical re collections associated with this old castle, whose bleached walls, white with dry antiquity, have in their time sheltered potentates innumerable with unpronouncable names and numberless quarteriegs. Her Majesty looked at all the relics with evident interest, and was shown the room in which Luther threw an inkstand at the Devil. General Jackson had a negro slave, so very black that charcoal made a white mark on his face, and the Devil's complexion would probably sustain no material da mage from a few spots of ink; but there can exist no doubt of the fact, since the ink-spots are still shown upon the wall, and are as visible to the credulous as Rizzio's blood-stains at Holyrood. There are moveover, several very superb suits of armour in the castle, one of which was worn by the Prin ces Cunegonde, a young lady who, in company with Doctor Pangloss, sustained many vicissitudes, until she at last became the blemished bride of the susceptible Candide. Her Majesty partook of some refreshment at Wartburg, where she remained for nearly three hours; and then drove down to the high road to Marksuhl, where the royal car riages were in waiting. Her Majesty, having thanked the Grand Duke of \Veinier for his attention, and assured him how gratified she had been at seeing the castle, then entered the carriage, and drove on through the Thuringian woods to Marksuhe through Vach and Buttlar, to Hfinfeld, when the road enters the territory of Hesse Cassel. The Eelctor had dispatched the Hofmeister Von Maltzburg and General Von Hainau to receive her Majesty ou the confines of his do minions ; and at nine o'clock in the evening her Majesty entered Fulda, where apartments had been provided for her at the Kurfurst Hotel. The Prince Electoral Frederic William, co-Regent of the Electorate, immediately forwarded his respects to her Majesty, and placed the old episcopal palace at her Majesty's disposal ; but her Majesty thanked the Prince for his hospitality, which was declined, as all the arrangements had been previously made for her reception at the hotel. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE,. THUIISDAT. The Queen.left Fulda at eight o'clock this morning, and arrived here at half-past three o'clock this afternoon. Lady Canning, Lady Gainsborough, Lord Liverpool, Lord Aber deen, Mr. Anson, and all the members of the suite, preceded her Majesty, who travelled with Prince Albert in a close carriage. The extensive suite of apartments on the first and second floors of the Hotel d'Angleterre had been kept for the private use of her Majesty and suite, the former tenants having been routed from their rooms, and are now compelled to inhabit lofty chambers in the roof, from which they " stare upon the stars from out their attics." Shortly after her Majesty arrived, Lord and Lady 'Westmoreland, with the Hon. Cecil Fane and Mr. Fox Strangways, paid their re spects to her Majesty. Lord Westmoreland and family have been residing at Wiesbaden since the breaking up of the royal party at Stolzenfels. The King of Bavaria has just arrived, and will join the dinner party this evening. The King has travelled thus far to greet our Sovereign, and to express his regret that pressing state affairs should have detained him at Munich, and prevented him from receiving her Majesty in person at his magnificent palace at Wurtzburg, which it may be remembered, her Majesty passed whilst on her journey to Coburg. A change has taken place in the projected royal progress. Her Majesty received, whilst at Gotha, a pressing invitation from Louis Philippe to pay him a passing visit at the Cha teau d'En. That invitation her Majesty has accepted, and, instead of steering for the white cliffs of Albion, the royal yacht will feat a second time anchor off Treport. Her Ma jesty is, however, so anxious to see the royal children, that she will not prolong her stay with the King of the French beyond two days at the utmost. Fier Majesty will leave Frankfart at half-past seven to morrow morning (Friday), by railway for Biberich. It is by far more convenient to embark at the quay opposite the Duke of Nassau's palace there than at Mayence, as originally intended. The long-continued line weather has so dried up the Rhine that the Fairy has been compelled to drop down. to Bingen, and the receding waters have since obliged her to retreat to Coblentz. Her Majesty will, therefore, d , scend the river in one of the Rhine steamers, which draw le-s water than the Fairy, and will arrive to-morrow evening at Deutz, opposite to - Cologne, and proceed by railway the following morning to Antwerp. Should her Majesty feel much fittigued after her long travel she will accept of King Leopold's hospitalities until Monday morning; but accord ing to present arrangements her Majesty will embark at Antwerp on board the royal yacht on Saturday afternoon. FRIDAY.—The dinner par y in the saloon of the lintel d'Angleterre was not so numerous as might have been ex pected under the circumstances. The pa ty consisted of her Majesty, the King of Bavaria, the Prince Albert, the King of Bavaria's Aid-de camp, Prince Metternich, Lady Canning, Lord Liverpool,Lady Gainsborough, Mr. Anson, and Lord Aber. deen. It has of late been erroneously stated in tome of the papers, that a misunderstanding existed between Lord Aber deen and the Prince Metternich. The very reverse, how ever, of this is the case ; the two diplomatists are joined by the indissoluble ties of an entente cordiale, which is firmly cemented by the identity of their opinions upon the great fbreign political questions of the day. When her Majesty first came to Germany, Prince Metternich earnestly requested Lord Aberdeen to visit him at his chateau of Johannisberg. His Lordship pleaded the necessity ,of his continual personal attendance upon the sovereign, and sent a pressing invita tion to the Prince to meet him at Frankfort, and in compli ance with this invitation, the Prince arrived here last night in time to join the royal dinner party. In the evening her Majesty received Lord and Lady Westmoreland, Mr. F. Strangways, the British Minister here, the Saxon Minister, Mr. Koch, the venerable Consul, Mr. Bush and Mr. Orme, the Attaches, and the Burgomeister, who came in his state equipage. Her Majesty retired to her apartments at eleven o'clock, and at a quarter past eight this morning the royal travellers were again en route, by the Frankfort Railway, for Biberich. DEUTZ, HOTEL BELLONA, SATURDAY MORNING. Her Majesty arrived at this hotel at half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the . Fairy yacht, from Bingen. On alighting from the railway at Biberich her Majesty embarked on board of the Count of Paris, one of the Rhine steamers, which was lying off the Duke of Nassau's splendid palace on the banks of the Rhine. As soon as her Majesty was on board, the steamer got under weigh and descended the Rhine as far as Bingen, where the Fairy was hove to and in readiness fur the reception of the illustrious travellers. The steamer went alongside the yacht, and her Majesty was then enabie'! l t to step on board without any difficulty or danger. The beatitintl,rakish looking little vessel then steamed ra pidly down the !?Isine, and as the bridge of boats be tween Coblentz and Ehrenbeeetein was being opened to admit the yacht, the fortress poured iorth her parting benediction fro fom her five hundred iron mouthses—an example which was l lowed from several of the frequent feudal towers which are perched upon the dizzy pinnacles on the banks of this noble river. Her Majesty. is this moment (half -past eight o'clock) on the point of starting for the railway terminus at Cologne, from whence she proceeds by special train to Antwerp, and afterwards to Treport, wind and weather permitting. ANTWERP , SATURDAY E VENING.—The last portion of the royal progress by land, and by far the least agreeab )(portion, a long railway journey of eight hours and a half, has just terminated. The Queen arrived here at a quarter past lives' and was received by the King and Queen of the Belgians, who conducted her to the royal carriages, which drove off at once to the King's palace. On leaving Frankfort this morning the train proceeded with such cautious tediousness that the long black line of decorated carriages must have looked in the distance like some pompes funibres, instead of a royal travelling party. Moreover, the train stopped at every unimportant station until it arrived at Aix-la- Chapelle, where her Majesty alighted whilst the baggage and carriages were being trans ferred from the Prussian to the Belgian train. The station was gaily decorated, and all the civil and military authorities were present to receive her Majesty. who immediately re cognised M. Millesen, the cloth-merchant, who offered the magnificent entertainment to her Majesty when she passed through the town three weeks since on her way to Cologne. After a delay of a quarter of an hour her Majesty again set fortis on her journey, and the train proceeded with, happily, a slight increase of speed, through Herbesthal, the boundary of the Prussian and Belgian territory, to Verviers, where Sir Hamilton Seymour, the English Minister at Brussels, and General D'llahne, one of King Leopol.d's aides-de-camp, received her Majesty, and travelled by the special train to Antwerp. At the several stations on the road, Tirlemont, Louvain. blalines, and other places, guards of honour presented arms as the train whirled by, and military bands played our national anthem with more or less precision. At Louvain a woman stepped forward from amongst the gazing crowd and threw a letter into the royal carriage': which Prince Albert immediately handed to her Majesty, w i lt ; was somewhat startled by this unexpected petition. Thi s was the only incident that occurred during the royal progress whicts was worthy of notice. There is a grand illuminative. in the town to-night, and fireworks were let off on the quays siring her Majesty's em barkation. On the arrival of the royal party, the King and Queen of the Belgians conducted her Majesty to the Palace, where a sumptuous entertainment was prepared. At trine o'clock this evening her Majesty embarked on board the royal yacht, which however will not get under weigh until to -morrow morning. If the weather should be fte propitious as it has happily hitherto been, the yacht will go to Ire port. Her Majesty, however, will net prolong her stay there beyond two days, at the utmost, and may therefore be expected at the Isle of Wight on Wednesday, at the latest. Should, however, the wind blow fresh fro m the no rthward and westward, her Majesty will go direct from here to England, as the difficulty of landing at Treport under these circumstances would prevent her Majesty from paying her projected visit to the King of the French. Lord Adplphus Fitzclarence (Graf Adolf, as the Germans call him) is unfortunately suffering from a violent fit of the gout. His Lordship has been staying at Wiesbaden since the Queen left Mayence. The Queen looks remarkably well, and bears all the fatigue wonderfully. V AU XIIALL-GARDENS.—The season will close on the '29th of this month, and it is the intention of the lessee for the remainder of the season to admit the public at the reduced price of one shilling. We like the million to have their enter tainment at a cheap rate, and we quite agree with the liberal arrangements the lessee has made for the la't nights. We hear that another i night ascent of Mr. G reer ,' balloon will take place n the course of the • -• a. very novel and extraordinary s'eeple week, and also tn.. 0.41 when the Nassau Bah chase will " come off" on v..- ----n two and three loon will leave the royal pi opera y " , o'clock, and be followed by a number of sporting men on back who have entered themselves for a sweepstakes of 50/., which will be delivered to the winner at the gardens the same evening. This novel affair has already cau , ed a great sensation in the sporting world. The gardens in future will be opened four nights a week, Tuesday being the extra night.—Sunday Times. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Saturday next, the 13th insta• t, at Osborne House, Isle , of W;ght• The Council is appointed at one o'clock in the after noon. Sir James Graham left town yesterday morning to pay a visit to Lord Stanley, at Walton. The Right Hun. Baronet returned to town in the afternoon. Dispatches from the Governor of Malta, and also from the Governor of Gibraltar, were received yesterday at the Colonial- office. LYCEUM THEATRE. A new and original comedietta (and for once the word comedietta, as applied to a one-act piece , is not a misnomer) entitled Peter Jenkins; or, Fibbing for a Friend, was produced at this theatre last evening, and an excellent comedietta it is. Mr. David Brown (Mr. Meadows) is a partner in a mercantile housr, who mixes ip sentiment and the main chance in the oddest manner aessible. His partner is Mr. Whiffen(Keeley) a plain iitforward man of business, who makes it. his boast at he has never told a lie in his life. David Brown is rd and disappointed at discoverieg that his ladye (eve, Miss Jenkins (Miss Dawson), a young lady with 2,0001. in her own right, has eloped with a gay Lothario ; and Whiffen is surprised and pleased at rem icing a note from young Victor de Mont morency (Mr. V% igan), a Frenchman, returning him 501. which he had borrowed of him, and in viting him to Lis cottage at Richmond, w here he is spending the honeymoon with his young wife. 13roart, who is going to the Star and Garter, gives Whiffen a cast dawn in his gig. Now Mrs. Montne.rency is the very Miss Jenkins who was engaged to Brown, and Mont - morency, who is awfully jealous, has discov. red Brown's portrait in his wife's possession ; to appease him the wife declares it is the portrait of her Lrather Peter Jenkins, and Miss Clear (Mrs. Keeley ), the teacher at the boarding school from which the elopement took place, and who has accompanied the lovers, vouches for the truth of the statement. The confusion which arises when Mr. David Brown makes his appearance as the companion of Whiffen may be easily imagined. Brown, however, is got rid of betore any discovery takes place, and Miss Clear, who has her own designs on Whitten, persuades him to declare to Montmorency that Brown is Pete r Jenkins. Old Jerkins, however, arrives, and when Montmorency introduces Whiffen as a friend of the family, and the intimate associate of his son Peter, the old man is astounded. He has no son. Miss Clear again prompts Whiffen. Peter is a wild do!: - , has outrun the constable, the father cannot bear to hear his mane mentioned, and for that time Montmorency is pacified ; but Brown again makes his appearance, and Mont morency is determined to bring about a reconciliation, I.y introducing them to each other, and then it is dis covered that Peter Jenkins is David Brown. Mont morency declares he will repudiate his wife, and annihilate 'Whiffen, but again Miss Clear recon ciles everything. She declares that her father had determined to sacrifice her to another ; that years ago she bad been engaged to Whiffen ; that they had kept up a secret correspondence ; and that Whiffen had sent her his portiait by Brown, who, for motives best known to himself; had substituted his own ; that on Montmorency finding the portrait, his wife, in order to spare her friend's feelings, had said it was the portrait of Peter Jenkins ; but that now all ob stacles being removed, she can make her dear Whiffen happy—and most happy, too, does she make Mont morency, for she has an enormous appetite, and he is right glad to get her out of his house. This little play is admirably written and admirably acted. Mr. and Mrs. Keeley and Wigan were called for at the con clusion, and the piece was announced for repetition amidst unbounded applause. 2 to 20 to 3 to 2 to 2 to 4 to MANCHESTER and SO UTHAMPTON RAILWAY. MEETING AT STOCKBRIDGE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood cf Stockbridge, was held on Friday, to take into consideration the Manchester and Southampton Railway, which will pass through Stockbridge. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended. A deputation of the promoters was also present, consisting of R. Etwall, Esq., MY., T. Griffith, Esq., Mayor of Southampton, C. Long, Esq., solicitor, H. Footner, Esq., E. Coxweil, Esq., J. Lankester. Esq., and others, from Southampton. George Powell, Esq., steward of the manor, in the chair. Mr. J. LANKESTER explained the route of the proposed railway, arid said, that no town in Great Britain had made such a rapid advance of late years as Southampton. Its population had increased from 8 000 in 1811, to nearly 40,000, and Its export trade from 770,000/. in 1843, to 1,500,000/. in 1844, and to 3,000,0001. in the first eight months of 1845. This rapid increase was to be attributed to railway communication ; and he be lieved the trade of Southampton was only y, t in its infancy. It was within his memory that Stockbridge was once a more thriving place than it was at present ; and he was at liberty to state that there were parties at Manchester who contemplated making use of the water power of the Test, should this railway he carried.— (Clmers.) Amongst the advantages to be derived from the formation of railways in this neighbourhood, he could mention the expenditure in its construction, the future constant outlay in its maintenance, the employ ment of a grcat number of persons upon the line, and the large contribution by the railway to the poor-rates of the parishes through which it would pa's. --(Hear.) Another advantage was the increase caused in the rateable value of property in the neighbourhood of rail way stations. In all the places upon the line of the proposed rai:wa), where meetings had yet been held, the project had been almo:4 unanimously approved of, and the landed gentlemen along the line had, in nearly every instance, given it their cordial support. ETWALL, Esq., M.P., said it was now a question of doubt as to whether a railway' would be formed from Manchester to Southampton ; but it was for them to consider whether it would not be advan sgeous to Stock bridge that the line should be carried which it was pro posed should pass through their town.—(Hear.) When first railways were projected, the landed interest and the tenant farmers feared that the market for oats would be destroyed, by horses being thrown out of employment, but the result had proved the grounel-lessm ss of those fears, and more just views now prevailed. lie believed they would all agree that a railway from Southampton to their town would be advantageous to them, and they could not but acknowledge that a line which would con nect them with the manufacturing districts of the north ' would also be most beneficial to their trade.—(Hear ) There was another railway proposed, vt hich would unite with this line, and would give them an opportunity of traveling and conveying goods between that town and Newbury, Ilsley, and Oxford, and so northwards. This conflux of railways must be beneficial to their local trade —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Meinbrr expre,sed his hope that they would make common cause with the pro jectors of the line, and do all in their power to secure the success of that desirable undertaking. Other gentlemen addressed the meeting at some length, and the motion Navin; been carried with three cheers, The CHAIRMAN said the unanimity of the meeting was a source of great satisfaction to him. He was most anxious to promote the undertaking by every means in his power. Ile would represrnt to the Earl of Clarendon the feelings of the meeting, and he felt assured that in as far as the property of the Noble Earl was concerned, every facility would be offered to the undertaking. The petit,ons then received numerous signatures, and the meting broke up.—Hampshire ktvertiser. THE HARVEST. — The accounts of the weather from all parts of the country, and of the progress of the harvest during the last few days, are extremely gratifying. in this neighbourhood, the cutting of wheat has become general, and another fortnight of such glorious weather as we have at pre sent will leave very little outstanding grain.—Lancaster Guardian. On Saturday, in the Bankruptcy Court, Messrs. Smith and Hayes, who had opened a club in Henrietta-street, for clergymen, entitled " The Clerical Club," appeared in this Court to pass their final examination. Mr. Smith, who was also the editor of the " British Magazine," an ecclesiastical monthly of good literary estimation, said that they had been made bankrupts as " hotel-keepers," but they merely kept a club. Mr. Parish was the only petitioning creditor. It was shown that the debts were about 6001. ' • as a set off there were 500/. in the o ffi cial assignee's hands. Mr. Hayes had to make further inquiries respecting his property. The accounts were considered quite satisfactory by the solicitor for the assignees, and Mr. Commissioner Fane passed the applicants. COUNTY VOTERS.—A reeholders' Building Society was formally established on Wednesday evening in Manchester, J. l3rooke , 'Esq., in the chair, on which occasion no fewer than . 510 shares were taken up, and on which deposits were paid. This confederacy will, it is probable, prove a formidable one to corn as sell as other raonopolists.—Preston Guardian. SHIRLEY MARKET.—Shirley has c numeneed a market for the sale of pigs, sheep, horses, and other cattle, which took place on Friday, and was well attended. There was a good supply of pigs, which to with a very brisk sale ; the first lot was penned by Mr. Stockwell, of Shirley, and were purchas d immediately for stock, and the supply was insufficient to meet the demands, There was likewise a plentiful supply of cows and horses, which also met to ith a ready sale. it is thought probable that this will become a good market, as it will be a great convenience to many ; and at the ordinary which was held at the White Swan, several dealers expressed their determination to exert themselves to ensue a good sup ply of cattle.—Hampshire Advertiser. INQUEST ON THE SOLDIER WIIO WAS SHOT BY, THE CORYORAL AT CORE.—An inquest was held at the Cork barracks on Thursday on the body of Robert Frisby, the unfortunate soldier of the 73d Regiment, who was shot on the evening of the previous Tuesday by Corporal Buchanan, of the same regiment. The jury unanimously found the following verdict :—" That on the evening of Tuesday, the 2d of Sep. Leather, the said Robert Frisby was mortally wounded by a ball feloniously and wilfully discharged in the Barrack.square of Cork, by Jame* Rueherusc, a corporal in the said 73d Regiment of Foot, of which mortal wound the said Robert Frisby lan guished until about the hour of five o'clock yesterday, and then died of the same in barracks in this borough." fbe coroner then issued his committal, and the prisoner was immediately after handed over to the civil authorities, being escorted by a guard of the y3d Regiment to the city gaol, to await his trial a t the neat assiaei. SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.It IS now clearly understood that this lire of railway will be proceeded with at each end, viz., from Syston to Melton, and from Oakham to Peterborough, as soon as the requisite notices have been delivered to the landowners and oc• cupiers. The 'Company are prevented from taking a great portion of the intermediate space for twelve months by a c lause in their Act, unl ess b y the consent of the Earl of H ar boroggh ; but it is confidently hoped that long before the meetiil of Parlierpept the Noble Earl w il l le t it be seen that he is n ot meaaere likely to prove so beneficial to the community, and that an aneeatle ervangement will be ti opposed to a effected.

SPORTING NCE. TATTE R SA LL'S.--( Yr..stEnme.y. N Yesterday, if not a very busy, was an important day at the corner, inasmuch as the hopes and fears of the backers of Merry Monarch were effectually set at rest by a de claration that he would not start, owing, it was reported, to his having fallen lame; while to increase the excitement, Mentor, who but the day before, owing to a similar rumour, had receded to 40 to 1, sprung to 12 to 1, at which price nearly all the money for which he was backed (some three or four hundred pounds at a guess) was laid out. Miss Sarah was quoted at 3 to 1, layers, Weatherl it at 7 to 1, laid once to a small sum,-and afterwards offered, but not currestly. The Pacha at 11 and 12 to 1, both taken in se'yeral quarters, and Red Robin at 16 to 1, to which figure he rose from 1,000 to 45, laid twice at the commencement of the betting. Forth's lot, now confined to Mr. Irwin's two and John Davies, was backed by Mr. Irwin himself at 20 to 1, but did not appear to have any admirers out of the stable.

To the Earl of Wincbilsea, &c. " Mesmerism" has of late attracted FO much of the public attention, that we do not. feel surprised at its having been selected as a fit subject for the novel reader and in the hands of so experienced a writer of fiction as the author of " Brambletye House," as may readily be imagined, it is treated with all the effect that could be given to it. " Love and Mesmerism," for such is the intejesting title of this new work, is pronounced in literary circles not only the best of Horace Smith's numerous productions, but one of the most striking tons of metal at the ate:ier of Mr. casting a r y of gentlemen, seventeenand original romances that have been put forth fur some time. together with CASTING THE WELLINGTON STATITE.-011 Satur sdeavyearal n u l ladies, r , of witnessed scienti6 e t the d c a l s i Wyatt, Dudley. grove, Paddington. The bronze casting was for the fore part of the colossal horse in tended for the Wellington statue at the west end. The hinder part has already been cast, and is now in progress of being finished. The vast body of metal was occasionally seen through the iron door of a huge furnace ; it was intensely brilliant and perfecty fluid. Ad.ep " run" led from the door of the fur- nace, and conveyed the liquid metal to a large pit wherein the model was deposited. At a given signal an aperture in the front of the furnace was opened, and a hollow noise like that from a volcano was heard. The metal then in a complete state of fusion glided forth like a stream of lava, hissing and spitting as it went along to the model-pit. In about half an hour the whole seventeen tons had run into the pit in a continuous even flow, giving indication that all was right below. It will take five weeks before the mass can be sufficiently fixed and cool—a period of considerable excitement and suspense to the artist. it was curious that the two principal workmen employed on the occasion are Frenchmen, cho'en "Y Mr. Wyatt for their know ledge in bronze casting. They are two hearty fellows, and stirred up the liquid metal with perfect nonchalance, apparently heedless about It s having originally been cannon taken from the armies of their country in order to form a statue of Wellington.

Mr. C. KERS, the Secretary, read the Directors' report. It referred to the proceedings in Parliament, and congratu lated the Shareholders on the successful manner in which the Bill had been carried, in the face of the most de ermined and unusual opposition. The works on the line had all been eon trailed for, and operations were already begun. It was origi nally proposed that a single line of tail only should be laid for the present, but as land and br.dges were t e be provided for a double line, the Directors strongly recommenced that double rails should at once be laid down. An arrangement has been concluded with the Directors'of the Scottish Central. by which the two railways were to be wrought together as one line—the same gentleman being secretary and manager of both establishments With the view cf carrying the original ohjects of the Company in'o effect, the Directors had ordered surveys and plans of the branches to Blairgowrie, Dunkeid, and Kirrie muir, and all of these wire in a state of forwardness. A survey of the line to Dundee, with a view to the improvement of the existing line from Dundee to Newtyle, or the formation of a new and independent line, had also been ordered and would soon be completed. For the extension of the line from Forfar direct to Brechin, Montrose, and Laurencekirk, a Company has already been firmed, the deeds signed, and the deposhs paid; and the necessary preparations were in prierress for introducing . a Bib early next session. It would be the duty of the Com pany to give every aid in their power towards the formation of this and other projected lines ; and the Directors recommended that lull power should be given to their successors to co-operate with the parties interested in carrying these projecta into effect. The report was unanimonsly adopted, and on the motion of Mr. Musses, of Simprin, it was resolved that the Directors be confirmed in the:r cave, and empowered to carry out the recommenda•ion contained in the report. Alr. James Alorion, accountant, and Mr. Robert Macfat lane, ritcr, Perth, were appointed audi ors to o,c Gin ;Any. The remuneration to the Dirt ctors was fixed at 3001. per annum; the salary of the Secretary (it being understood that he is to receive 400/. from the Scottish Central) was fixed at 2 2 00 t. ; and the allowance to the auditors was fixed at 25/. each per annum. _ _ Thanks, on the motion of Mr. WALLACE, seconded by Mr. GREIG, were awarded to the Prtivisi.mal Committee, to Mr. Kerr, the secretary, and to Sir James Ramsay, fur pre siding. lIALIFAX, HUDDERSFIELD, AND BRADFORD UNION. A general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held in Huddersfield on Thursday, to take in , o consideration the lately much agitated question relative to the ron-i , sue of scrip by the Executive Committee in the terms of the Com pany's prospectus. Mr. B. N. R. Batty took the chair. Several resolutions were proposed, and spoken to by Messrs. W. F:ddison, Bradley, Flo3d, Beaumont, Crossland, Brook, Dougeil, and More; and ultimately a memorial, to be pre sented to the provisional Committee, was unanimously ' adopted, in which the memorialists protest against any such course, because they consider that the deposits had been paid on the faith of receiving Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford scrip. They further consider that the arrangements made with the Manchester and Leeds Company have altogether a prospective operation, and that their becoming Shareholders its the Manchester and Leeds Company was altogether dependent upon obtaining the Act abut to be applied for. They suggest that no arrangement or agreement has been made with the United %Vest Riding Company. so as to bind that Company, and that the United West Riding Company hate no in.. terest whatever in the matter. They believe that the agreement 'entered into between the Manchester and Leeds Company and the West Yorkshir e and West Riding Companies, and that entered into with the Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford Company, are mat alto-. gether similar, but that the last-mentioned agreement is con siderably more favourable th:.n the former, so that any change in the name would be absolutely detrimental to their interests. 'I hey recommend that Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford Union scrip should be Issued in the u , ual form t f scrip, and believe that such a course would sender abortive the intrusive inlet ference of parties interested only in the change of name in the Company, from pecuniary and personal consideratior,, arising out of indiscriminate and vicious speculation in ', ray i ng and si lling of shares. They feel assured that su.;.:n A course of proceeding only will answer the expectation of the public, and carry out in principle the true, legal, and equitable meaning of the agreement made with the Manchester and Leeds Company. and maintain unimpaired the confidence which the Shareholders repose in the Committee, RAILWAY RETURNS.

MANCHESTER, SATURDAY.—The proceedings of the half _ _ yearly meeting of this Company did not terminate until twenty - minutes after five on Friday, the express account, forwarded by - the last train, bringing the proceedings up to half-past four, when Mr. Thomason's amendment, for no amalgamation with the London and Birmingham, was carried amid cheers and clamour. Thereafter Messrs. Wadkin, of Dukinfield ; Raw - son, of Manchester ; and Thomas Thomason, of Bolton, were - re-elected Directors. - After some further discussion as to whether the Company was totally to refuse to amalgate with the London and Bir - mingham Company, _ Sir Davin Satomows moved, " That the Board of Direc - tors as at present constituted be instructed to renew their nego - tiations on the part of this Company with the London and Bir -A mingham Company, on terms that are likely to be acceptable ‘74 3% to the Proprietary, and to take the opportunity of calling a _ special meeting at an early day to report the result." The motion having been seconded, passed amidst loud cheers. Mr. J. B. SMITH then proposed a dividend after the rate of U. per cent. Messrs. Higgins and Evans were appointed auditors. Mr. Waddington, the Deputy Chairman, announced his resignation before the proceedings closed. - BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, STOUR AND TRENT VALLIES, AND MIDLAND. A meeting of iron and coal-masters and merchants of Dudley was held in that town on Friday, to consider the pro - priety of supporting this line, Mr. Thomas Lester in the chair. Air. WILLIAMS, one of the deputation f.onk the Birmingham Canal Company, whose property is to be converted into, and form part of, the proposed line, said it was intended to make 4 y. the line along the banks of the canal, from Birmingham to 3 Wolverhampton, with a line to Dudley, which would be con - nected with the Birmingham Railway, and have the benefit, in connexion with that Company, of a great station, which was to be made in the centre of Birmingham, at the back of the Free Grammar School, with an entrance at the bottom of King-street, and the inhabitants of Dudley would, therefore, have the advantage of one of the best stations in England. -- Nothing could be more convenient for the inhabitants, taking it in connexion with the central station which they intend to erect at Wolverhampton. By the proposed line they would be enabled to carry their goods to Hull, Liverpool, and all the outports of the kingdom. They would also be enabled, in taking the lower ground, to get on by Stourport, and onwards till they became connected with Welsh railways, which would take them into the heart of Wales. Indeed, the projectors of the undertaking flattered themselves that such a line had never been offered to to the town and neighbourhood. The project, when carried out, would serve all the great interests of the mining districts. Their next consideration should he to get the advantage of as central a station in Dudley as they possibly could. Mr. R. SCOTT M.P., said it was intended by the company to make a line along the straight course of the Birmingham Canal from the heart of Birmingham to the heart of Wolver hampton. Dudley was situated upon such an eminence that it was difficult to bring a canal to serve the town in the manner they could desire, and it would also be very difficult to bring a railway into the town • but it would be the object of the promoters of the intended fine to bring the station as near the town as possible, and thereby facilitate as much as they could the traffic of the place. It was first intended that this hoe should join the Tring line, but as that project was not suc - cessful, they now intended to run into the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line. The proposed new line was not one in opposition to the Oxford, Worcester, and Woverhamp - ton line, but it was intended to work with it, and give and receive all the traffic they could to that company. They were anxious to work with them as much as possible, and he had no claubt they would do so to their mutual interest. They were well aware of the place where it was intended to erect the station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line in Du.iley, and it was the intention of those he then represented to come to that station, unless other and more beneficial ar rangements could be made. It would be a difficult matter to a.ter level-,•and get down the descents to Stourbridge in that direction ; but still ke thought it not impossible to furnish the town of Dudley with a better station than that provided by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company. If tht could be done, he was sure the Company he represented would be most anxious to give them a better station than any which had as yet been proposed. The great advantage of the pra - posed new line of railway would be found in its immediate connexion with the Birmingham Canal. By that connexion, the manufacturers of that district would be enabled to have their goads carried upon tke most advantageous terms to the mo-t distant parts of the kingdom. out i t r he adv RlCHARD antage s SM I T H , which i t abir e , b a n g e e . nt to Lord Ward, next pointed or with the concur w B laid ß e a u s t x se sa a id s ttlioactcbmymmuenaincas toef and d s vf e s e k ve w ra it l b li e n a e e s, betber - on the same level, and which will be ma d e G Trent Valley, and h t Sm m eth n : 214 rence of the Londonheasndhrßev,irrhiunrgyhaamn,d the Bi rm r i o n a g t b ill m idla ß n a d i , lw th a e y S w to e u s r t b b r r i o rl in _ c om p a pier, and t e Birm un in ic g a h t a io ni n Canal e C o a tn ff o p r a gd n ee y " , K t t h owi i d e :j a i: d r v im -2 Cages of.railway comm e al s l i , tu W ate ille o n n ha th ll ; wick, Oldbury, Tipton, Rowley Regis, Oldhill, Netherton, ster, n S t Stourport, r a t n , d W P a I a l s c a e l s l, of L p i c h ud fi l e e l y d, t D itle ia s . o t o w en , , a n C d r a A dl i e r y , , w a t It s t e , iLye,be extensiveK ti v er, worksßush banks of the Birmingham Canal in the valley of the Stour, 1 - and on the lines of the projected railways between Dudley and Walsall, and Wolverhampt on and Pahali. it ..earned to be a mostirimrhm n np i o i r g ta a nt aal movement, Company forwh . ic a h od wtheybewo-erh referred to were indebted to the Birmingham co that body, and th oug h t o f their con nexion with the district, its _ felt. every confidence that all their wants would be speedily supplied in the best possible way, The other resolutions were then moved arid seconded by Messrs, C.

The first general meeting of the proprietors of this compatty 4/. Os. 6d.--- was held last week at Cupar Angus Sir Junes Ramsay, of and Forfar Banff. Bart. in the chair, • MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. On Friday a meeting of the inhabitants was held at the Town-hall, Stockbridge, in favour of this line, which proposes to pass through the town. A deputation of the promoters was present, consisting of Sir R. Jarvis, Knt. ; R. Etwall, Esq., M.P. ; Thomas Griffith, Esq., mayor of Southampton ; C. Long, Esq , solicitor, Southampton ; H. Footner, Esq., soli citor, Andover ; E. Coxwell, Esq ; IV. J Le Feuvre, Esq. and J. Lankester, E-q., Southampton. Mr. George Powell, steward of the manor, presided, and said Stockbridge at pre sent was not in a prosperous state, but there was an immense water power in its vicinity, and when Manchester was brought so near to them as it would be by this railway, no deubt the enterprise and capital of that great town would be attracted to the banks of their river, and they would see manufactories esta blished, that would restore the town to a flourishing state. Mr. Lankester then explained the route of the line, and its various proposed advantages. There were parties at Manchester Taws contemplated, if the line were carried, making use of the water power of the Teat. Resolutions were proposed and spoken to by Mr. Etwall, M.P., Sir S. R. Jarvis, Messrs. Reeves, Spencer, Attwood, Le Feuvre, Griffith, Revs. Taunton and Reeves, and carried unanimously. RUGBY, DERBY, AND MANCIIESTER. On Saturday a public meeting took places at the Green Man Hotel, Ashbourne, Derbyshire, in favrur of the above line. The chair was taken by Sir William I. 2,oothby, Bait, the lord of the manor, who declared his con;riction that the line proposed would be advantageous not on'.y to the town in its local in 11uence, but to the nation generally. Mr. Brewer, solicitor to the promoters of the I.ne, addressed the meeting, and at his request Sir William Boothby introduced. Mr. Blunt, the engineer, of the line, who made an ample state ment of its circumstances and advantag,s. He was replied to by Mr. iVeteyard, who announced himself to be a Director of Remington's line, and a barrister-at-law. Much excitement, but not angry feeling, followed, which resulted in the unani mous adoption of resolutions to support the Rugby, Derby, and Manchester line. IRISH LINES. BELFAST AND ENNISKILLEN.—A mreting of the inhabitants of Dungannon and its vicinity, with Lord Northland in the chair, was held in the Court-house, on Wednesday, to take into considera' ion a project for connecting Belfast with Enniskillen. by a railway passing in the immediate neighbourhood of that important and thriving borough. The unanimous °Onion of the meeting was, that the proposed line would be one of un questionable advantage to the public generally, and more especially to the town of Dungannon, and several resolu tions to that effect were carried without a single dissentient voice. TEMILEMORE TO NENAGH AND THE SHANNON. — The Directors of this Ccmpany bare determined upon an amal gamation of the two lines, namely, that from Templemore to Nenagh, with the original line from Nenagh to the Shannon.
