The Committee are in negotiation with the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany and the Birmingham Canal Company, for the construction of the portion of the main line from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, on the banks of the Canal, the result of which will be advantageous to the shareholdess in the saving of cost and distance on this portion of the line; the whole line will also be constructed with the additional assistance and superintendence of Mr. R. Stephenson. The Committee have also determined upon the construction of a branch from the main line to theonining district of Coalbrook Dale, in connexion with other projected railways, and also in extending the main line from Shrewsbury to join a railway which has been pro. jetted by the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Compay, to Welsh pool and Newtown. Full powers will be taken in the new Parlia mentary contract and subscribers' agreement for these purposes, and to undertake other branches and extensions, which the Committee have in contemplation, with a view to ensure a profitable return to the proprietors. The subscribers' agreement and contract, requisite for complying with the Standing Orders of Parliament in the next session, will lie for signature at the Company's office, from Monday, the 7th of July, until Saturday, the 19th, after which they will be transmitted to the Company's agents in the country. The Committee are happy to be able to state that the local interest in favour of this railway continues unabated ; and, as far as they can at present form a judgment, they are satisfied that no further de posit will be required for prosecuting the Bill in the next session of Parliament.

The attention of the public is invited to the fact that the papers connected with the above Railway, required to be deposited in the proper office by the Act for the Registration of Joint-Stock Companies, have been examined this day, and it is found that out of the long list of names put forward in the prospectus, as forming the Provisional Committee, only live persons have signed either the promoters' list or any other obligatory document ; and the only registration at all made in relation to the above Company is "for making a railway from Belfast (the county of Down), by Downpatrick, to Newry and Warrenpoint, with branch to Banbridge." It will thus be seen ti-at the great bulk of the noblemen and gen tlemen whose names are so ostentatiously paraded have no stake or responsibility in the undertaking, and it is more than questionable whether their names have been inserted with their authority.

GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.- Yesterday the foot race between Openshaw (of Bury) and Cook (the Greenwich cowboy), two well known runners, came off at the Rose. nary Branch grounds, at Peckham. The distance contested was ten miles, and the affair attracted a large assemblage of persons. In betting Openshaw was the favourite. The ground was measured and other preliminaries arranged, whee the start was effected ; both men rattled away at a quick pace, and covered the first mile in five minutes, ten seconds. They continued at their match and per. formed the fourth mile in twenty-two minutes and ten seconds, Cook being at a lead of forty yards, and half the contesting distance was accomplished by Cook in thirty minutes and fifteen seconds, and in 120 yards advance ; at the seventh mile Conk appeared to relax his speed, and Openshaw made ground. Both men appeared distressed at the eighth mile, but exerted every effort for the goal, and at the turn of the ninth mile Cook was at a good lead, and obviously had winning certain. His opponent struggled, but without avail, and Cook ran in an easy winner, amidst the cheers of his friends. The ten miles of ground was run over by the winner in 68 minutes, 35 seconds. Money was circulated freely, and a large amount was transferred on this occasion. Dartmouth is likely to redeem itself from the dis grace of the last contest. Mr. Moffatt is secure. The Tories have one Captain Pidding helping them indirectly; and one Mr. Princeps, standing forward as a Tory candidate. Mr. Moffitt will beat them both. A BINGDON.—The new Attorney-General, notwith standing the haste in which, last night, a new writ was moved for Abingdon, will not walk over the course unopposed. General Caulfield will be the Liberal candidate, and will contest the seat as an old Whig, opposed to all new religious endowments. The constituency numbers about 330 electors, of whom the Reformers count two• fifths in their interest, a fourth of the constituency being untested and doubtful. Sir F Thesiger has been hitherto unopposed ; but it is doubtful whether the majority can be polled in approval of the recent Irish policy of the Government. The Dissenters are strong in the borough, and some of the former par tizans of the Attorney-General, it is said, are resolved to remain neutral.—Chronicle. PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. —On Saturday the Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company gave a grand banquet, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, to celebrate the opening of the direct line of monthly steam communication by means of the Corn. pany's ships between this country and China.

Their Lordships re-assembled at five o'clock, when the Earl of RIPON moved the second reading of the Scotch Banking Bill. The measure was objected to by the Earl of RADNOR, the Duke of Bicastown, the Earl of ROSEBERRY, and Lord KINNAIRD, and supported by the Duke of BUCCLEUCH and the Earl of Detatontau. On a division the third reading was carried by a majority of 32, the numbers being —for the Bill, 47; against it. 15. The Charitable Trusts Bill was read a third time and passed. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a Bill for more effectually securing the correctness of the Jurors' Books in Ireland, which was read a Srst time. The reasons of the eorarroouti for striking out certain clauses in the Railway Clauses Consolidation (Scotland) Bill were, after a short conversation, agreed to. - The Irish Banking Bill was read a second time, pro forma, on an understanding that the discussion was to be taken on Thursday. Oa the motion for going into Committee, The Duke of RICHMOND brought up the report of the Committee on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Bills, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. A new writ was ordered for Abingdon, lit the room of Sir F. THESICIER, who has accepted the office of Attorney-General. In answer to Sir E. Kivu, Sir J. GRAHAM said that the Government did not require any additional powers to put down the disturbances in Wicklow, Cavan, and Fermanagh. The Right Hon. Baronet stated, that he was convinced that those disturbances were not con nected with either religion or politics. On the motion fur going into Committee on the Irish Colleges Bill, Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN opposed the motion, on the ground that the measure was in opposition to the wishes of the Irish people. Sir JAMES GRAHAM expressed a hope that the Biil would be allowed to go into Committee, without any further discussion of its principles. Mr. O'CortNELL would not delay the going into Com mittee by any lengthened observations. He protested against the measure as irreligious, and as opposed to the sentiments of the Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland, There was a strong feeling in Ireland against the Bill. He should take a division in Committee on an early clause, not from any hope of success, but out of duty to his conscience and his country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL considered that if it passed in opposition to the hierarchy of Ireland the measure would be useless, and if it came out of Committee in its present state it ought not to pass into a law. The House then resolved itself into Committee. On the first clause being read, proposing that 100,0001. be appropriated for the erection of three colleges, appor tioned in sums of 33,333 L 6s. Bd. respectively, Lord J. RUSSELL moved that in line 17 of the clause. the words be inserted " including the building of the halls hereinafter mentioned," and that the words "not exceeding 33,3331. 6s. Bd. for each such college," be left out. Sir JAMIE GRAHAM opposed the amendment as at variance with the principle of the Bill, inasmuch as it introduced the principle of religious education. A long discussion ensued, and eventually the amend ment was negatived by a majority of 75. Clauses 2 to 13 were then, after discussion, agreed to, and the Chairnan having reported progress, obtained leave to sit again this day. _ The other orders of the day were they disposed of, and the House adjourned at half-past One o'clock. ' The accounts front Protestant Ulster are of a very distressing and alarming character. In the county of Cavan the law is set at defiance, an extensive system of outrage has been organised, many houses have been robbed of arms and money, and the inhabitants subjected to all the hardships and injuries usually in fliaed by lawless banditti- According to a memo. rid' ad_lres:ed to the Lord Lip utenant, by Lord FARNHAM, the Deputy Lieutenant of the county, and thirty-eight magistrates, describing the disturbed state of the district, these depredators are considered to be Roman Catholics, and fears are entertained that the indignation excited among the Protestant population by 'heir atroeitif s will be visited upon Catholics indis criminately. It is further stated, that the respectable inhabitants professing the Catholic faith hive done every thing possible to suppress the outrages, that they are filled with alarm and terror, and that the Romati Ca tholic bishop and clergy are as anxious as the other well-disposed persons in the county that a stop should be put by vigorous measures to such a deplorable state of things. They therefore urge upon Lord HEYTESBURY the absolute necessity of putting in force the powers vested in the Government, and express their conviction that the existing laws are not adequate to aff ,rd pro tection to life and property. These outrages, of course, must be put down with a strong hand, the law must be enforced, and life and property protected ; but we believe the existing laws are sufficiently strong for that puriose. If the Catholic clergy, the respectable portion of their flocks, and the whole Protestant population, with the magis trates, and military and police, act with honesty of pur pose and impartiality, the lawless multitude would soon be brought to punishment, but we regret to find that certain of the Orange party are not inclined to show such a disposition, and are resolved to protect themselves—in other words, to take the law into their own hands, and re-organise those in stitutions so detested by Catholics—the Orange lodges. This is not the way to restore peace or settle religious differences ; on the contrary, such a step will only add fuel to the flame, and render the north of Ire land uninhabitable for civilised beings. If the Legisla ture, therefore, interfere at all, the party processions must be Ina down, and impartial justice be meted out to Protestants and Catholics alike. Distress and hunger, caused by want of employment, are the real sources of these evils, and while there are from two millions to three millions of inhabitants willing to work, but unable to find masters to enf,age them, there must be an incessant recurrence of such lawless scenes. Let Mr. O'CONNELL do his duty, let him urge on the clergy of the people the absolute necessity of repressing outrage and restoring tranquillity, and with the aid of the Government, strengthened as it must be by their present conciliatory measures, something like security might be established, and employment on public under takings be obtained for the starving population. Madrid journals of the 23d of June announce a fact which shows that the financial crisis could no longer be warded off. The bank of San Fernando had officially announced in the Gazette that the Directors bad come to the resolution of refusing discounts of every description, including even the acceptances of the bank itself. This resolution, one of the papers states, can only have been dictated by the knowledge of some grave and mysterious event. It appears the bank is abundantly supplied with money, but owing to the exten sive and alarming speculations in the funds lately, it had re solved on this dangerous alternative to avoid a greater cala mity. The Gazette also publishes the regulation for levying the new income-tax of 300,000,000 reals (3,000,0000. The funds nevertheless continued firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 32 9-16 for cash, and 32i at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 21i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies is now getting through the business of the session at railroad speed. In the sitting of Saturday, in less than four hours, they voted 58,000,000 f. (2,300,000 7 .), nearly the whole of which sum is to be ex pended in public works, such as improving the harbours of Toulon, Port Vendres, Granville, Morlaix, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, and a few other places. For Boulogne the sum voted was 450,C00f. ; Calais, 300,000 f. ; and Dunkirk, 1,300,000 f. The estimates altogether amount to the large sum of 1,434,439,406 f. (57,400,0001.) According to accounts from Algiers, of the 22d June, ABD-EL-KADER was still within the French frontier, waiting only for an opportunity to renew his attacks. The Constitutionnel publishes a rumour relative to the marriage of the Queen of SPAIN, which appears little entitled to credit. France, it says, will consent to her marrying a Prince of Coburg, brother of the King of PORTUGAL and the Duchess of NEMOURS, and England fur this complaisance will not object to a marriage between the Duke of MONT PENSIER and the QUEEN'S sister. Queen ISABELLA, ac cording to the same journal, is in very bad health, and had been confined to her bed for three days at Barcelona. Indeed, there is every probability that her sister will succeed to the throne. No business was done in the funds at TORTONI'S on Sunday. The following are the quotations of shares on the Lyons Bourse, June 26 :—Avignon and Marseilles Railroad, 9801., end of June ; Paris and Orleans, 1,173 E, ditto ; Paris and Rouen, 1,035 E, ditto; Orleans and Vierzon, 727 E, ditto; Orleans and Bordeaux, 645 E, ditto; Boulogne, 585 E, ditto; Montereau, 526 f., ditto. Several articles and letters in type—among others two about Westminster Hall—are unavoidably postponed, for want of room. INDIA AND CHINA. In a second edition of the Morning Herald we find extracts from the Bombay and Calcutta papers, brought by the Over land Mail. Their dates are Bombay, the 20th of May, and Calcutta, May 7, with intelligence from China to the 20th of March. The Victoria steamer, with the mail, ar rived at Suez on the 11th ult., twenty-two days from Bombay, bringing thirty-two passengers. She was dis patched eleven days in advance of the usual time in con sequence of the monsoon. British India remains perfectly tran quil ; the affairs in the Punjaub are still in a very unsettled state; Sinde was healthy—at least we infer the fact from the silence of the journals that faithfully report every symp tom of illness and everything that tells against Sir C. Napier. Akbar Khan had given up all thoughts of attacking Peshawur, and the princes on the west of the Indus had taken such alarm at the military operation. of the gallant Napier and his little gallant army, that the y had written to Dost Mahomed, entreating him to prevail on the British authorities not to molest the an. Furlough had been granted to six regiments of Bombay native infantry, each of which had ab out 200 men absent on leave—the best proof of the tranquillity of the country. The news from China is without in terest, and we find nothing in the money or stock market& that require notice. Sir Henry Hardinge was still at Ca l cutta, and the Company's dominions supply no new intelligArir t e whatever ULY 1, 1845. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

Parties who are called upon in this country to aid such of the unfortunate inhabitants of Quebec as have been deprived of their homes by the dreadful conflagration, must not sup pose but that the citizens whose property escaped the ravages of the fire had used all proper exertions to relieve the suf ferers. Besides subscribing a large amount, lodgings, tents, provisions, &c., had been furnished, a guard p u t over th e property found, and other judicious arrangements made; and it is sincerely to be hoped that there will be no backward. ness here. Many of the leading mercantile firms had sub scribed most liberally at Quebec, and the Bank of British North America gave 250/. An important arrival of emigrants of the better class is noticed in letters from Montreal-viz., 247 English, all from the counties of Devon and Cornwall, and fine healthy-looking agriculturists, all persons of small capital, and described as being just the sort of men to do well in Canada. They were all bound for Upper Canada, and it was believed that it was their intention to settle in the neighbourhood of Coburg. We are sorry to learn by the last accounts from New foundland, that the seal fishery this spring has been more disastrous- than almost any ever remembered on the coasts of that island, so far as the catch had been hitherto reported; and a general gloom pervaded the trade of the community, looking at the vast amount of wealth which had been em barked in the speculation, and the limited returns which so far had been made for it. The public Funded Securities have been withot4 alteration to-day, Consols for the opening having realised 98% to 99, but the premium on Exchequer-bills has further declined to 555. and 525.

The value of Spanish Five per Cents. have been down to 27% %; and of the Three per Cents. to 39% and 39. The interest on the home Three per Cents. is to be payable in London as well as at Paris and Madrid. Portuguese Old Stock has been at 84. Mexican Bonds have been steady at 36% 1 ,4.

HATFIELD V. PHILLIPS. Their Lordships gave judgment to-aay in this writ of error without calling upon the counsel for the defendant in error. Their Lordships ordered the judgment of the Court below to be affirmed with costs. n►RLEY V. TILE QUEEN. The arguments in this case occupied their Lordships the whole day. ROLLS' COUR 1 1 .-t THIS DAY.) His Lordship the Master of the Rolls sat in his Court in Chan cery.lane to-day, and heard unopposed petitions and short causes. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CIIANCELLOi Of ENGLAND.) His Honour was occupied the whole morning with the part. heard cases of Jenkins a. Cross and Jenkins a.

His HONOUR gave jugment in this bankrupt petition to -day, the object of which was to allow the proctor in the suit in the Eccle siastical Court to prove his costs as a debt under the Commission. The Court allowed the proof. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) LAUDER V. INGERSOLL,--JUDGMENT. His Hormca gave judgment in this case to-day, the arguments in which were concluded yesterday. The case came before the Court upon motion, the object of which was, on behalf of the in. fant plaintiff, to remove the next friend, and for the ap. pointrnent of a new one. His Honour said there was no ground for imputing delay to the next friend, or for the Court's acting upon that supposition without an inquiry. The ground of the application was that the solicitor in the suit, and of the next friend whom he had appointed, ought not to have been the solicitor in the suit. Now the question in his Honour's mind was, whether, if he made the order asked, it would be for the benefit of the infant. The Court thought the application a proper one, so far as it would withdraw the control of the suit from Mr. Elworthy, the solicitor of the next friend. On the whole, his Honour thought that the best course he could adopt would be to refer it to the Master, to appoint a new next friend, who was to give security for the costs already incurred, and to pay Mr. Elworthy's costs as between solicitor and client, Mr. Elwci thy to pay the costs of the present application, and the costs of appointing the next friend, the Court reserving the question by whem ultimately the whole of the costs were to be borne, and all further proceedings to be stayed till after the Master had made his report. FRANCIS V. GROVER.—JUDGMENT. Ms HONOUR stated that his opinion in this case was, that the annuity was not barred altogether. As to the revocation of the legacy, the Court thought there ought to be an issue to try whether the words in the will of the testator written in pencil formed part of his will. Mr. WALKER said it would be impossible to try the issue at the next assizes at Monmouth, as they would take place very shortly. He would suggest that the issue should be tried at Bristol. Mr. ltomiLLY could see no objection to the proposition, but re quested that the case might stand over till Thursday, in order that he might communicate with his clients. The case was accordingly ordered to stand ever till that day. sHERIFF.-. CO URT.—(TH DA (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Bunco ELI..) BARROW V. JUPP. This was an action to recover the sum of 19/. 14s. 9d., for coals supplied to defendant. Mr. CROUCH said, the plaintiff is a coal and iron owner at Rugby, and the defendant is a coal merchant at Paddington. In April last the master of a barge belonging to defendant called and asked fur a boat.load of coals on credit for defendant, until delivered at Paddington. This was agreed to, and plaintiff's agent also con sented to pay the tonnage, and add it to the account. The coals were subsequently delivered, but defendant refused to pay until an action was commenced, %hen defendant called on plaintiff and ten dered the amount of the demand, but without costs. The plain tiff's agent refused to take it on the ground that it was to be paid in London. The evidence, however, went to show that defendant said he had given the money to M.Arlow, the captain, and if plaintiff did not like to take it lie might go on with his action, for Alarlow was the person to be looked to. The coals were charged at I le. 6d. per ton, with Q.s. 10 IA d. per ton for lock dues,4v. a ton for freight. age, and Is. Id. City dues. For the defendant it was contended that the dealing was between Marlow and plaintiff, but that nevertheless the amount had been tendered to plaintiff's attorney, who refused to take it unless ss. 2 I was paid for a Jetta* demanding payment. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JUNE 7.—The Imperial ukase relative to the dress of the Jeyvs is stated in an account from the Russian frontiers to have already produced some deplorable effects. These were, indeed, not intended by the Emperor, but were almost the inevitable consequence of a measure which so cud. denly and violently interferes with the rnost cherished habits of a people. In Bordiezew, a considerable commercial town in Noltiynia, where, as in many towns of southern Russia, the Jews form the majority of the inhabitants, some young Jews appeared in the synagogue without long locks of hair; the Chassidim, a most fanatical religious sect, prevailing chiefly in Russia and Poland, re. sembling in some respects the Shakers of North America, incensed at this violation of a sacred custom, fell furiously on the blasphe. mous, as they called them, threatening to tear them to pieces. All their representations, that they had only obeyed the commands of the Emperor, were unavailing. The Chassidim exclaimed that the Emperor could not cornmard them in a religious manner; that he might be the god of the Jawanim (so the Jews call the Russians, as properly the Greeks), but he was not theirs that they should rather suffer themselves to be slayed alive than to submit to such wicked or ders. A dreadful tumult occurred, and two of the young men are said to have expired under the ill treatment of the Chassidim. A strict investigation is set on foot by the Governor, and we are as sured that. fifteen of the Chassidim have already been sent to Sibe ria. What has grieved these unhappy fanatics worse than all the rest is, that before setting out on their melancholy journey, they had to change their national dress fur that usually worn by the exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long ocks being, of course, the first sacrifice. The following distinguished company have visited the Lyceum Theatre during the last few days :—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, Duchess of Leinster, the Duke of Marlborough, Marquis of Headtort, Marchioness Cornwallis, Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford, Eat 1 and Countess of Harrington, Earl and Countess Delawarr and family, Earl of Munster, Earl of Charleville, Earl and Countess of Wicklow and family, Earl of Huntingdon, Lady Rivers, Lord Burghersh, Lady Sophia Devoux, Lady Jervis, Lord Suffield, Lady Bateolan, Lady Mary Capron.

'[he vessel had just ar rived train Holland with a cargo of butter, cheese, and other goods, and seven beer casks, which were directed to "Brevet's wharf—to be left till called for," and were about to be landed as empty casks in the usual manner whet: the revenue officer, Kirg_ man, having a suspicion of something wrong, took off the head of one of the casks, and it apoeureo at the first glance to be quite empty, but on a closer inspection he found the barrel was lined with a tin case of the same shape, and between that and the barrel itself the cigars and cheroots were concealed. He then opened the other barrels, and found them lined with tin in the same manner, and a similar quantity of cigars and cheroots in each. He imme diately seized the casks and their contents, and rolled them to the Queen's Warehouse, at the same time giving information to the Board of Customs, who ordered the vessel to be put under seizure also for the present. Each barrel contained about 3nlbs. of cigars and cheroots. They are of the best quality, and the duty upon them alone is 90/. EsT SUFFOLIC.—BURY ST. EDMUND 8, SATUR DAY.—The writ for the election of a Member for the western divi sion of this county, in the room of the late Col.

In that case the official declaration would not be made till the Monday OD:swing. CORK T R EAT TIE. MADAME CELESTE AND MR. WEBSTER. The interest created by the superior acting of the inimitable Celeste, and that most excellent comedian, Mr. Webster, nightly increases. By the way in which Webster sustained the arduous character of the Baron Raventurgh, in the Woman Hater, and the scapegrace Phillipot, in the Trumpeter's Daughter, in the early part of the week, he, with whose talent as a manager of the most popular London theatres we have been lung familiar, proved himself to be as successful and popular before, as behind the curtain. Last evening, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there was a large attendance, and a fashionable audience to witness the . production of The Mysterious Stranger, taken from the French piece Satan ou Le Diable a Parrs. The character of the Mysterious Stranger, who, until the denouement, is sup posed to be the " Prince of Darkness," was sustained by Celeste in a style which drew from every part of the house the most enthusiastic plaudits. The admirable manner in Which she supported the various parts she bad to assume in her efforts to save the Count de Beausoliel from the danger which surrounded him, and the successful stratagems which she employed for the purpose of exposing to him the hollowness of his friends, and the infidelity of his mistress—particularly the scene with Mademoiselle de Nan telle in the house of Beausoliel, where she persuades De Nantelle, that the reported arrest of Beausoliel's banker was unfounded, and induces the inconstant fair one to take a new and more wealthy lover, was performed in a manner which could hardly be equalled by any other actress at present on the stage. Webster, in the character of Crequet, the servant of Beau solidi, contributed greatly to the success of the piece. The struggle between his fears of the Mysterious Stranger when en. tering into the contract, and the anxiety he evinces to possess his little Madeline, twelve thousand francs a year, the cow and the pig, were moat naturally and effectively represented by him, the house being throughout the scene convulsed with laughter by his ludicrous and lugubrious appearance. On the fall of the curtain Celeste and Webster were loudly called for, and on their appearance were saluted in the most complimentary manner. A new petite comedy followed, entitled Susanna, or Marriage and Minuets. The expressive and graceful pantomime of Celeste as the Dumb Girl in I he early part of the peice, the easy and dignified man ner in which she glided through the Minuet de la Cour with Webster, and the intense mental affliction betrayed by her acting in the scene which led to the restoration of her speech, could only be given in the style that they were by Celeste. Mr. Webster as Brinsley Burnby, a fop of the time of Louis Le Grand:was as unbending in his car riage and self-conceited as any exquisite of that period could well be. Although we cannot say of him as well as of Celeste that " Grace was in all his steps," his dancing in the minuet and the Polka would do credit to many who are high in that department. Thy other members of the company sustained their parts respectably, and the Mysterious Stranger was again announced for representa tion this evening amid much applause.—Cork Southern Reporter. ROYAL GENERAL. PENSION Socirry.—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the subscribers to the above Association was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, Major-General Sir J.

These expresses go to Leeds twice a day and return immediately after the conclusion of the business at the Stock Exchange in that town, with a statement of the prices, &c., performing the distance between Leeds and Wakefield in forty minutes.—Doncaster Chron. • - ---- THE COMET.—At Medina del Campos, on the 12th of June, at 9 hours 45 minutes P M , observed a comet at about 10 &grecs above the horizon, and five degrees north of magnetic north ; nucleus of considerable magnitude, perhaps three times the apparent it: se of Jupiter, tail broad, and two or three degrees in length, Its brightness was sufficient to catch the eye with readi ness.

CRICKET.—THE GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND V.

When the wickets were struck for the day England had lost six men for 93, thus having 23 runs to get to tie with four wickets to go down. The score stood as follows :—Kent, 116 ; England, 93. The match was resumed this morning at eleven o'clock. RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR DOVER.—On Monday night as an engine and tender were proceeding up the line toward" Westenhanger, at between twelve and one o'clock, they came is contact with the down mail train, which was about to enter the station, and was crossing from the down to the up line, in conse quence of the alterations on the down line not being completed. Both engines were much injured, and some of the metals torn tiP. Fortunately the passengers escaped with a few bruises, scratchees and disfigured garments. Assistance was immediately on the spa , and the mail train engine, not being so much injured as the others took the train on to Dover. In order to prevent the recurrence of such a disaster, the down trains will, in future, discharge their freight at the proper platform instead of crossing the line. —Doer Telegraph.

He fell on the leg of an inverted chair, which penetrated his bodP, and inflicted such serious injury th a t littl e h ope i s entertaine d his recovery. In the night of the 21st ult., towards twelve o'clock an unusual swell of water, resembling a high tide, took place et Cette, and continued rising until two in the morning. It had at that period reach,' the top of the quay, and after remaining s e f.r a short time, began to fail, and continued descending until it reached the very foundation of the wall. The larger vessels being firmly moored escaped injury, Lut a number of boats were forced away, and some of them stove in. A violent storm arose imme diately after, and a heavy fall of rain, accompanied with loud claps of thunder, took place about five in the morning. It is suppose d that the entrance of the sun on the summer solstice, conjointly with the full moon, may have caused this phenomenon.—Galignanj• A l'ATtli It COMMITTED FOR THE MANSLAUGHTES oe ins Sox.—Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, resumed an ad journed inquest at the Royal Free Hospital,on the body of George Chalk, aged 13. The deceased, his father, and grandfather, were engaged in the brickfields of Mr. Bassett, Camden.town, and on the 6th instant decca ed's father was displeased with him for not having done some work which he desired him to perform. The lather, enraged at being disobeyed by his son, knocked him down, ki••ked him in the side, and then jumped on him. Mr. Mullons, who was in the first instance called upon to attend him, and bfr Cook, house• surgeon of the Free Hospital, who ultimately had care of him, deposed that the deceased informed them that he had been ill-treated as stated, and that they found that he was suffering from a violent inflammation in the lower part of his abdomen, caused 1 0 external violence, which terminated fatally on the 22d instant. Upon a post mortem exatnination an extensive abscess was found on the right side, between the liver and diaphragm, and from the latter a perforation into his lungs ensued which caused death. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against the unfortunate father, who was committed to Newgate on the coroner's warrant. FATAL ACCIDENT OFF BATTERSEA..—Yesterday morning an inquiry, which stood adjourned from last week, We e concluded at the Red House, Battersea, before Mr. Carter, relative to the recent steamboat collision off that place, by which Mr. Joseph Cooper. a fine young man, and member of the Nautilus Club, lost his life. From the evidence, which was of a very con.. Meting nature, as many as fourteen or fifteen witnesses being ex‘ amined, it appeared that on Monday last, about half-past six o'clock in the evening, the Matrimony iron steam-boat was pro' ceeding towards Chelsea, on the Surrey side of the river, near the lied [louse, when in making for the new pier, off the British Flag Tavern, a light wager boat, containing the deceased and another gentleman belonging to the same club, shot out from the shores apparently fur the purpose of clearing the pier before the steamer came up. The captain had noticed the boat previously, but lost sight of it for a few minutes behind a dredging machine, when it again shot out right in the way of the steamer. The engine , were promptly stopped, and the wheels reversed, and everything adopted in order to check her progress, but unfortunately she came in fearful collision with the boat. The friend of the deceased perceiving the danger, jumped overboard, and was saved by some watermen ; but the deceased, who had got up in the beat apps' rently with the intention of warding off the blow, went down with the craft, which was shivered to pieces by the force of the collision. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Accidental Death. LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver sary festival of this Society was held last night at the London Tavern. Mr. B.
