It appears that Mr. Percival was not in the habit of taking stock, and had little suspicion of what was going on. POISONING AT UXBRIDGE. COMMITTAL OF THE ACCUSED. Yesterday Thomas Dickman was brought up for final examination before Messrs. R. H. Cox and T. T. Clark. _ _ Frederick William Shouring examined—l am a shoemaker, and live in the house of the prisoner's mo ther. The prisoner frequently visits his mother. I and my brother, who lives with me, are in the habit of using oxalic acid in our business, to take stains out of the soles of boots. We have only had two sepa.ate pennyworths since we lived there, the first about eight weeks ago, and the second about midday on the day (Wednesday) on which this occurrence took place. Police-constable Beechey, TlB2, examined—Shortly before five o'clock in the afternoon of Wednesday 1? 3t I received information that the prisoner had been se 3n to enter his mother's house, and I immediately went there and found him with his mother at tea. I told him I wanted him about the poisoning of his wife and child. The prisoner said he was innocent, and asked me to allow him to go to his wife's lodgings before I took him to the station-house. I went with him to his wife's lodgings, accompanied by the witne.s Shouting. The prisoner saw his wife, and said to her, "You've done a fine thing for me." That was all that passed. On the way to the station I heard the prisoner say to Shouting, " I have done it ; can you tell me which way to get out of it ?" I asked. Shouting what the prisoner meant by what I hAd heard him say, and Shouting said he did not know, but he thought the prisoner meant the marriage with his wife. Shouring recalled—Recollected the prisoner saying " I have done it; can you tell me which way to get out of it ?" but thought he meant the observation to apply to his marriage with his wife. The prisoner had before asked my advice about his wife, as she had sent him to prison for deserting her, and I told him to go fur a soldier. I cannot take upon myself to swear that the prisoner mentioned the word marriage in any way. Beechey recalled—l swear most positively that the prisoner in no way mentioned anything about his marriage which could have induced the last witness to consider his observations to apply to that. Mr. William Rayner examined—l am a surgeon, living at - Uxbridge. I received front Inspector Cooke, on Thursday last, about midday, the sugar, as he has stated. I tasted it in the first instance, and found it extremely acid, but I could then form no opinion of what acid it was. I have since subjected the same sugar to analysis. I discovered by that analysis oxalic acid in the relative proportion of one to twenty-five parts. Every test I have applied proved the existewe of oxalic acid. „,„ By the MAGISTRATES—There is no certainty as to how small a quantity of oxalic acid would destroy Ii!"e. I do not think that a spoonful of sugar mixed, one part of oxalic acid to twenty-five parts of sugar, would de stroy life in an adult, hut it would in an infant, Had the wife taken a second or a third cup of the coffee, with a teaspoonful of the sugar in it mixed in the proportions of one to 25 parts, I consider that it would endanger the life of an adult person. The MAGISTRATE asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge ? The prisoner, with great vehemence, said, "I wish to say nothing at all. My counsel is not here, and if he was I should not be committed.” The prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial. .. . GIANALS.

Three sets of rolls are now in operation with shears, punching machines, and saws. Two more sets are to be got ready as soon as possible, and when, they are " aiding and assisting," they will greatly . increase the make of iron. This splendid me chanical instrument has been designed and erected under the immediate inspection of Crawshay Bailey, Esq. ; it acts admirably. When finished, the expense of the erec tion will not be less than 25,0001—Cambrian. CLASS LAW -MAKING.—We need only give two short and simple instances to show how the landholders have made laws fur themselves. A carrier pays assessed taxes, I is. for his horse, and Bs. 9d. for his dog; but the farmer - pays not one farthing fur either his ride horse or dog. The carrier pays turnpike toll for conveying goods , but the farmer pays not One farthing toll for manure, draining-tiles, &c., &c. This " class " law-making has been for the purpose of enabling the farmer (at tbe ex pense of others) tho better to pay his rent. Landholders' tricks are now plainly seen, and they have, by those tricks, placed themselves in no enviable position. A SORROWFUL WEDDING DAY.—.A most distress ing accident occurred in Keighley-green, on Tuesday l as t A wedding party, which had come to dine with the bride's brother in the park, were descending from their conveyance, when the horse took fright and dashed down the hill, kicking and plunging at a furiou s rate. The splashboard was shattered to pieces, and the bride, who with some others had not left the carriage when the horse set off, had her leg broken. A person of the name of Richardson succeeded in catching hold of the reins, and arresting the animal's progress. The unfortunate woman was taken to her brother's house, where she is doing as well as can be ex ected,—Pretn Guardian.

FRENCH PAPERS. From the Paris papers of Sunday, which did not arrive until a late hour this afternoon, we learn that the division in the Chamber of Peers on the previous day, was looked upon by the Ministry as a great triumph. The following appears in the Presse : . _ " It was confidently stated yesterday (Saturday) that the Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty at Washington had received his passports after a very warm discussion, which he had with Mr. John Calhoun, Secre tary of State, and in which he declared to the latter gentleman, that if the United States should persevere in their intention to annex Texas, England on her side would resume the designs which she had formed relative to the island of Cuba, and which she had given up, with regret, only on the representations Riede to her by the United States. If our information be cor rect, it was in consequence of this declaration that the American Minister, after having defied the Britannic Envoy to realise his threat, signified to him that he had nothing else to do but to take his passport. Although this news came to us from a good source we confine our selves to stating it, without guaranteeing its exactitude." We do not believe there is a word of truth in this statement. The National publishes a report drawn up and signed by several French merchants and eaptains of ships on the Gambia, relative to the seizure of the Carieuse. They declared that there was nothing in the outfits of the Carieuse which could in the slightest degree lead to the suspicion that she was engaged in the slave trade, and that since ships are seized upon such frivolous pretexts, they tremble for the ships of which they themselves are the owners, or have the command. They also complain that in passing to Albreda French ships are obliged to de posit their papers with the English authorities. The National says that the only way of getting a remission of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 is by giving orders to French cruisers on that coast to give such trouble to all English merchantmen carrying on trade upon that coast as will make the right of search past bearing. The Journal des Debats says, that on Friday, which was a cold frosty night, M. GUSTAVE D BEAUMONT and the Marquis DE LANGLE watched all night at the door of the Chamber of Deputies, in order that they might he the first to inscribe their names on the list of the speakers against the Address. A letter from 'Warsaw, of the sth instant, says that the Emperor of RUSSIA was expected there in the beginning of May. Accounts from Switzerland says that several can tons are in open warfare. At Argovie the insur gents, after having taken the arsenal without any resistance being offered on the part of the Govern ment, seized on the ammunition and other stores, which were then collected in large quantities and marched towards Lucerne, where they were to meet the insurgents of the other cantons. The canton of Berne was taking measures to refuse a passage to persons coming from Friburg to join the other mal contents at Lucerne. THE RUISLIP MURDER COM MITTED EIGHT YEARS AGO. EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED THIS DAY. Charles Lamb, a prisoner in the House of Correction, Cold Bath-fields, to-day underwent an examination be fore Mr. Mills, an Uxbridge magistrate, in the board room of the prison, on a charge of having murdered John Brill, a youth of sixteen, who was murdered in a wood at Ruislip, in February, 1837. George Sibley, also a prisoner in the House of Correction, was the first witness called. He stated—l came lately from Harefield. I am now in this House of Correction. I know Charles Lamb. I have known him rather better than twelve months. I have been inti mate with him. We used to go out poaching, and were at hide and seek together. About a fort night before Lamb was sent to prison I was coming from Rickmansworth to Harefield with him, and when we were in a lane at the bottom of a field we began t. talk about getting into trouble and getting out again. I said, " It is easy enough to get into trouble, but not very easy to get out again." Lamb said to me, "You have been in prison haven't you ? I have heard it is very bad." I said, "Of course it is ;" and he then said, "I would sooner be taken for murder than go to prison for this." I said, " Murder ! Charley ?" and he replied, " Yes. I was in Churchill's wood getting a bundle of wood when John Brill came up to me, and I took and struck him and knocked him down. A few momenta after that I took and picked up his cap, and hung it upon a bough, and put his bill hook ano cap beside him, to look as if he had fallen out of a tree." Lamb then said to me, " Nobody else knows of it but you, and if you tell, I will kill you." He said that when Brill came up to him, as he was walking along the wood, he said, " Well, master Lamb, is it you ?" Upon which he took S and struck and knocked him down. I had heard of the murder some years ago ; aid that a man named Lavender had been had up for it. I have always been on good terms with the prisoner Lamb. The reason of my making this statement was that I had had such queer dreams. I thought something would happen if I did not tell. I have voluntarily made this statement, without promise or favour from any one. I first made it to Mr. Hoare, the chief warden of the House of Correction, having first told the yards man that I wished to do it. I was twenty-five years of age last August. lam now looking Lamb in the face, and I state that he told me what I have now said, and it is the truth, and nothing but the truth. Mr. Woodbridge (the clerk)—Now, Lamb, have you any question to ask the witness ? Lamb—No, Sir ; I can't ask him anything. I never told it to him. If God Almighty refuses to receive me into heaven I never did it. You must be a very wicked man to say I told you so ; you must be worse than the man who did the mur der, whoever that was. Thank the Almighty, I have not to answer for that, let me go where I will, or suffer what I will for it. You are doing this just on purpose to get yourself out of prison. Colonel Chesterton, the governor of the prison, told Lamb not to make these declarations, but to confine him self simply to putting questions to the witness if he had any to put. Lamb repeated he had no questions to put. James Brill was next called, and stated—l live in the parish of Ruislip. I once had a son named John Brill. He was about 16 years old in the year 1837 •, it will be eight years, come next February, he worked for and lived with Charles Churchill, a farmer. He was missing on a Thursday, and his body was found on the foJewing Sunday, in what is called Young Wood, in the parish of Ruislip. I saw the dead body in this wood lying on its back. James Lavender first discovered it, and called out to me. I was about 300 yards from him at the time, in the act of searching the woods. His cap was hung on a little white thorn bush. By the side of him lay a bill-hook and " hedging cuff," or sort of glove. I saw the body lifted up, and blood gushed out both from his nose and mouth. The Clerk—Do you wish to ask him any question ? Lamb—No, Sir, I have no question to ask him. Charles Churchill—l live at Ruislip, and am a farmer. I recollect as well as if it was but yesterday, that John Brill was in my employment on 16th Feb., 1837. I recollect the day on which his body was found. On that morning, about half-past nine o'clock, I sent him to take three cows into the meadow. He had a bill-hook in his hand, and a cuff to stop up the gaps in the hedge, which the fox-bounds had broken down. I told him when he had finished the gaps to go into the Young Wood, and then into the path which leads up through the Young Wood to my house, and to watch that wood until towards one o'clock. By Mr. MILLS—I was to watch it against persons cutting wood. I had been out before, and I was going out. I told him if he saw any one cutting not to inter fere, but only to get near enough to see who it was. I was going to Uxbridge market on that day, and when I got down against the Six Bells, the landlady came out and asked me to give her a ride. A man named Meadows came out and asked me if I had heard a gun go off in my cover ? I said, no ; but got out and went across to John Brill, whom I found stopping the gaps according to my direction; that was the last time I saw him alive. I then told him, when he went home to his dinner, to stay at home until I returned, which would be about three. On my return, finding that tie did not come to open the gate, I thought something was amiss, for he was a lad that was always to his time. If you told him to be anywhere in the middle of the night, he was sure to be there. I had heard threats against the lad, because he was a witness in a charge of poaching which had been preferred against a man named Lavender. I then went into the woods to see if I could find him ; and searched about the woods, but could not find him. I then sent to his father, who, with another man, went in search of him, but could not discover anything of him. Next morning, at daybreak, the search was renewed ; but did not find him. Did not search on Saturday, having heard that he had run away, and had been seen at West . End. There w ere one an d twenty persons search - ing the wood on Friday. On Sunday the search was resumed, and had not been continued more than half an hour, when he was f oun d b y James La vender, who cried out murder. I went up and saw him lying on his back dead, by a bush, w i t h hi s arm h oo k e d up against a bush ; his . cuff and bill l a y at hi s f eet . Some blood ran fro his ears. Th e b o d y was taken to the Six Bells, Ruislip-common. His head dropped as if his neck was broken, when they first lifted him up. I was not present when the surgeons exa m i ne d hi m. I did not see any bruise on the temple or other part of the head. I saw on the Monday that some underwood had been cut at about 20 or 30 yards from the place where the body was found. Mary Allday—l am the wife of Thomas Allday, a n d live at Ruislip Common. My husband is a labourer, I recollect John Brill being lost on the 16th February, 1837. On that morning I saw the prisoner Lam at the Six Bells, I was looking s;)t at an upstairs window of my father's house, where I then lived. lie Wits going down the footpath leading to the wood now over looked by Churchill, and had a bill in his hand. I saw him again a little after twelve the same day; I was up at my grandmother's house at the time. He was then coming from the direction of the wood with a bundle of wood on Ms shoulder—large green bits in the middle; and the smaller pieces outside. It was green wood, and apparently freshly cut. He went towards his own home. Mr. MILLS (to the prisoner)—Have you any question to ask ? Lamb—No, Sir, what she . bas stated is perfectly true. Henry Woodman—l am a labourer, living at Ruislip. I knew John Brill. I have lived at Ruislip ever since the period of his death. On that day I saw Charles Lamb near the wood, and he asked me if I had seen Mr. Churchill and his wife go by. I said I had about an hour and a half before, upon which Lamb returned into the wood. I saw him get over the gate into the wood. That same evening I heard that the body of John Brill was missing. James Lavender deposed to having found the body on the Sunday, as deposed by the other witnesses. Rachel Brill, mother of the deceased, saw a large bruise on the side of his head when the body was taken to the Six Bells public-house. Mr. Charles Woodman, farmer, of Ruislip, saw the deceased on the 16th February, 1837, at work mending gaps in the hedges. He was then alive and well. Charles Bray had met Lamb on:the 16th of February, 1837, on Ruislip-common, He was out of breath, was sweating, and said he was not very well. Witness told him if be would go to the Six Bells he would give him half a pint of beer. They went together, and had two pints of beer between them. Heard of the lad's being lost the same night. _ _ _ Mr. Robert Burton, late of Uxbridge, and now of Dorset-street, Portman-square, stated that he assisted Mr. Patten in examining the body of the lad Brill the day before .the inquest. It was Mr. Patten's case, and witness assisted him. Mr. Patten was since deceased. The left ear was very much swollen and livid. Had no doubt that he died from violence ' • on removing the skull cap found the vessels very much gorged. There was also a greater effusion of blood on the right side of the brain than on the left. This would lead to the con clusion that the effusion had been caused by a violent blow on the left side. The first witness, Sibley, was recalled, and stated that he recollected hearing of the murder, but did not help to search for the body, and did not hear any particulars of it. Only heard of it as a murder. Did nut hear of the body being found, and had never heard of the cuff and billhook, until told of it by Lamb. As the witness was leaving the room, Lamb said to him, " A'n't you ashamed of yourself, George ? If you are not, you ought to be." Mr. MlLLs—What do you now say to the charge, Lamb ? Prisoner—All I have got to say, Gentlemen, is, that I never named it to him if I was to die " mo mently." Mr. MILLS then told the prisoner that it would be his duty to send him for trial at the next session of the Central Criminal Court. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—We receive the following bulletin of the Oxford: Ward campaign from a source which may be relied upon : WITDRAWAL OF THE NEW STATUTE PROPOSED AT OXFORD FOR PREVENT ING FRAUDULENT SUBSCRIPTION. OXFORD, JAN. 20.—"1t is said, that in consequence of the remonstrances of numerous members of Convocation, of liberal or Evangelical opinions, who have been brought to consider the new statute as capable of being abused and made an additional test, a resolution passed the Hebdomadal Board this day to refer that part of the measures recom mended by the Dean of Ch. Ch.'s Committee, back to the Committee, for revision. The impression here is that such proceeding is preliminaay to the total with drawal of the new statute. " In this case there will remain to be submitted to Convocation on the 13th of February two questions only —one, of the consistency of Mr. Ward's proposi tion; with good faith, in subscribing the 39 Articles— the other, of his being removed from his degree. It ap pears that the Rev. Gentleman has obtained an opinion from the Queen's Advocate, and Mr. Bethell, Q.C., that the latter measure is illegal, on the same grounds as were alleged by Lord Campbell, in 1836, against the politico-religious movement of Convocation in the case of Dr. Hampden ; but it is said that, what ever question may still exist as to the latter mea sure, the Hebdomadal Board have in the case of Mr. Ward acted throughout under the best legal advice. There is no doubt of the resolutions against the book passing by a large majority, but the degradation of the author will be resisted by the whole force of the Tractarians, on the excuse of pre sumed illegality. Many liberal members of Convoca tion will also vote against it, or be neutral, on the ground of its being a privilegium. Among the imme diate results of the present agitation, not the least im portant has been the appearance of several pamphlets, on the part of the High Tory and Tractarian party, abounding in panegyric on the comprehensive character of the Articles, and in principles tending to the removal of religious tests, as encouraging hypocrisy, and un suited to the present age." We may now, then, consider the proposed test as thrown overboard ; a result which the deliberate opinion we had formed of its impolicy makes us think matter for congratulation. We also think it matter for congratulation that the natural foes of religious liberty have been turned for the nonce into its friends by the discussion of this statute. And we call upon those Liberal Church men in the University who agree with them (as we do) on this occasion, to test the sincerity of such professions as the emergency] has wrung from this party. Misery makes men acquainted with strange bed-fellows; and we recommend the bed-fellows not to let these gentlemen shake off the acquaintance. If the Tractarian party in Oxford really think religious tests premiums on hypocrisy, it would be a pity not to avail ourselves of this fine glow of liberal feeling in them. Of course they hold themselves prepared to vote for any relixa tion which may be brought forward. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

SUGAR.—To-day the rnaritet presented a flat appear ance for British Plantation Sugar, !Et demand was limited for the scale and pan, and the rates accePfea rather those of Friday for brown, grey, inferior and middling yellow, but for the better kinds of the latter, merbflants ter err.bled to obtain the previous cur• rency, in consequence dr the short supply in the market. At public sale 117 hhtls tts Datbadoes were disposed of at full rates for fine, but all othet kinds went 6d to is per .cwt cheaper, low sold at [as 6d to 53s Bd, middling 55s 6d to 535, good 60s to 61s 6d, Vied middlidg 58s 6d to 595, and fine 66s 6d per cwt. The total purchases are only 350 hhds and tierces. REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited demand for Refined goods from the home trade ; brown lumps are 71s to 71s 6d, and standard lumps 72s 6d per cwt. For Treacle prices have fallen ; boiled from West India aelling at 20s to 20s 6d ; patent 21s to 22s 6d, and golden syrup 24s to 365. For bonded Crushed Sugar 31s 6d to 31s 9d per cwt. paid for delivery. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon at public sale 60 bags 115 casks of %tauritius Sugar were sold ; fine yellow at 61s 6d to 635, good 58s to 59s 6d, good mid 56s 6d, low 535, very low heavy 47s 6d, mid 455, and inferior 43s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal Sugar offered at public sale ameunted to 4,543 bags, a part onla found buyers, and generally at rather lower rates, good yellow Mauritius kind fetched 56s to 57f, 6d, middling 52s to 555, low greyish yellow 473 to 51s, damp and washed 44s to 575, middling brown Rio 41s to 425, and damp 41s to 425, dry coloury grey 60s per cwt. FOREIGN.—There has been no public sale of any de scription of Foreign Sugar since this day week, and holders still manifest firmness. There has been less enquiry for yellow Havannah, but for the small parcels disposed of by private treaty former rates have been obtained, and there is no inclination at present on the part of importers to press sales ; yellow is held for 20s to 235, and brown 18s to 19s per cwt ; there are, however, several purchasers rather under these rates. White has been taken sparingly. For all descriptions of Brazil former quotations are sus tained, and brown is wanted, principally by our re finers. Bahia has fetched 17s to 19s per cwt. Other sorts of Foreign are not much wanted, but in the value no variation has taken place. MoLAssEs—This afternoon at public sale 132 puns 2 hhds, and 24 big , Demerara Molasses were nearly all taken in at 21s to 22s per cwt for good quality, being moderate rates. COFFEE.—There bas been little inclination manifested by the home trade to purchase West India Coffee since last Tuesday. Although the market has been sparingly supplied, yet difficulty was experienced in obtaining previous rates for small parcels by private contract ; only 19 casks 17 brls were partly sold by public sale. This afternoon the demand for Ceylon Coffee was not so good, but holders were firm, and 1,140 leags at public sale were taken in at the full value, viz. good ordinary pale at 525, and very good ordinary rather green 525. Of Manilla 1,200 bags sold, partly for home consumption and exportation at 36s to 39s per cwt. Mocha is offer ing privately at a further reduction in prices. TEA.—There has been little activity in the market, but black or green Tea cannot be purchsed upon lower terms. Eor Congon former rates are insisted upon, common is 1 I d to 1 lid, and good common 111 d to Is per lb. In Pouchong there has, however, been a fair busi ness at 7d to 10d per lb, and a favourable opinion is en tertaiued towards this kind of Tea. Hyson is unal tered in value ; common is 2s 7d to 2s Bd, mid to good 2s 9d to 3s, and superior from 3s 2d to 4s 6d per lb. For Twankay of common quality the offers made are such as holders are not inclined to accept, yellow leaf is worth Is 21d to Is 31d, british leaf, is 4d to is 9d, and Hyson kind is 10d to 2s 5d per lb. Imperial and Gun powder are fully as high as last quoted, but there is a pause in the demand. For fine scented Orange Pekeo 3s 4d per lb is readily obtained. SPICES.—To-day Sumatra Pepper met with attention, and 2,299 bags at auction were all sold at full rates, hall heavy clean selling at 2id to 2 d ; fine light 21d to ; sea damaged, first class 2id to 2id ; second ditto ; third class 2d ; ditto and repacked 2*d. White was little called for, and 286 bags at public sale were nearly all taken in at 5d to sid for good mid, and 44d for mid, being moderate rates. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—lmporters of Ja maica Rum for the most part are not inclined to sub mit to any further decline in prices, and the home trade are cautious in their proceeding ; small parcels have been sold, 28 to 30 per cent overproof common and middling quality at 3s 6d to 3s Bd, better 32 to 36 over 3s 9d to 4s 2d, fine 4s 4d to 5s per gallon. In Leewards purchases to a fair ex tent made at 2s 2id to 2s 3d per gallon, proof strength. Calcutta Rum 2s to 2s Id per gallon, is the value of proof with certificate.

Of the quantity avertised, 7,474 chests, 3,656 only were Bengals, the re mainder consisting ( f Oudes, Madras, Kurpabs, and Manillas. The biddings were very brisk, and the competition very animated, especially for the qualities fit fur shipping, which from their scarcity brought an advance of 2d to 4d per lb on the prices of the last sale; the same observation applies to good and fine consum ing qualities. Ordinary and low sorts of Bengals and Kurpabs were also in good demand at the October sale's rates, whilst regular Madras were comparatively neglected, at a discount of 2d to 4d; 929 chests have passed the sale, of which 228 were bought in.

MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. DERBY, MONDAY FTERNOON.—This afternoon the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Midland Railway was held at the railway station. Mr. george Hudson, chairman of the Directors, in the chair. There w ga a very full attendance. Mr. BELL, secretary, read the report of the Directors, which stated that the accounts, up to the 31st of Decem ber last, exhibited a balance in favour of the company sufficient to pay three per cent, on the consolidated stock, three per cent. on the preference stock, and 2/. 6s. 3d. per cent. on the Birmingham and Derby consolidated stock. The increase in the receipts of the three com panic:, had amounted to 42,078/. for the last half year. There had been a considerable decrease in various items of expenditure. It was with deep pain that the Direc tors adverted to the late accident at Nottingham. It had caused them the deepest concern. They had done all in their power to alleviate the affliction of the parties who were the principal sufferers, and were convinced that the accident had been occasioned by an extraordinary error of judgment. The Directors expected a considerable increase in the mineral department of their carrying trade, and had already ordered 250 additional waggons, which would shortly be ready, and which would better enable them to accommodate the increasing traffic. The Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway had agreed to a mileage rate on goods putting to and from their lino to the line of the Midland Com pany, and the former company had commenced the car riage of coals on the whole length of their line, which would open up a large traffic ; and the Directors of the Midland had, in consequence, given orders for more en gines of increased power. The new railways and branches which had been started by the Midland Com pany had been based upon the principle of affording the best railway communication to towns which were at pre sent destitute of that accommodation. The Directors relied with confidence on the justice of the Board of Trade, and believed that these proposed lines would re ceive the sanction of the Legislature. The balance sheet showed a receipt of 276,1291., and an expenditure of 123,3361., leaving a balance of 152,7391. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the meeting on the flourishing condition of the Company. The sum of 12,000 L had been ex pended on the capital account to give increased accom modation at the stations, and this outlay, it was ex pected, would yield a return of 1,000/. per annum. The arrangement with the Birmingham Company with re spect to heavy goods, would greatly increase :he traffic on the Midland line. Adverting to the late melan choly accident, he denied that there bad been any neglect of duty on the part of the Company, or that it was to be attributed to a desire to screw down the expenses ; for both he and his col leagues considered that no expenses were too great to give a security to the public. Steps had been taken to remedy any want of punctuality on the line, which did not rest so much with the Midland Company as with persons above York. The Syston and Peterborough line, which the Company proposed to construct, was 47i miles ; and the capital required for its construction would be 700,000/. It would reduce the cost of coal 50 per cent. in the district, and could not, he believed, be successfully opposed. The line from Nottingham to Lincoln would be 34 miles, cost 12,000 L a mile, and re quire a capital of 400,0001. Both lines had exceedingly good gradients. Then there was a short line of three eighths of a mile, to effect a junction between the Shef field and Rotherham and Manchester and Rotherham Railways, which would cost 36,0001. Then there were branches from Darfield to Maisborough and from Dar field to Elsicar, which would cost 65,0001. The pro posed line from Swinton, via Doncaster, Gainsborough, Lincoln, Boston, Spalding, to Wisbech, was 124 miles in length, and would join the Eastern Counties Railway at March. It would cost 1,612,000/., at 14.000 Z a mile ; by means of it they would be enabled to travel quicker than by the line proposed by the Manchester and Leeds Company. They had then a branch from Swinton to Wakefield, and on to Sheffield and Rotherham, and by this line a distance of 40 miles was saved as compared with the London and York line. After entering into an examination of the merits of the proposed London and York line, which he contended would never receive the sanction of the Legislature, the Hon. Gentleman con cluded by moving the adoption of the report, which was carried amid applause. The dividend having been declared, and the three re tiring Directors (Mr. Beale, Mr. Paget, and Mr. Teo) having been re-elected, the meeting separated. KENTISH LINES.—TUNBRIDGE, Morosetr.—To-day, a meeting was held at Tunbridge, to oppose the proposed extension lines from London to Tunbridge direct, and through central Kent. Colonel Austen, of Kippington, occupied the chair, and gave his strenuous opposition to any further railway schemes in that part of Kent, consi dering that all the facility for travelling and traffic which was required by Tunbridge was afforded by the pre sent line. A fresh one, either from the Croydon or the South-Eastern, was entirely unnecessary. He con demned the attempts of the parties as a destruction of property for no useful purpose, and as an encroachment on existing interests. After some other remarks to a similar effect, a resolution was proposed, pledging the meeting to oppose the projected lines. Mr. Alderman Lucas. as a landowner on the line through which the South-Eastern extensions to Kent would pass, felt it his duty to support the measures of the South-Eastern Com p3ny, who had been driven to the making their line a circuitous one from the opposition they had received from the landowners in their original project of carrying it from Tun bridge in a direct line to Maidstone. They had been forced into the Weald of Kent, through a thinly popu lated district, when they might have gone through a po pulous one. He himself had opposed them in their direct line, but had since had reason, from their desire to ac commodate the public, to repent of that conduct and re cant. The Maidstone people held similar opinions. The South-Eastern Company had evinced a desire to benefit the public, and he would support them in their just and legitimate right of connecting with the main line the traffic of the adjacent country. The opposition arose from the fear of injury to the Medway Canal Proprie tors, who dreaded the South-Eastern Company should compete with them in the coal trade. The proposed line of the South-Eastern would go through land be longing to himself, but he told the Company that he was ready to support any line which had a tendency to shorten the distance between London and Dover. The motion was then put and carried, Alderman Lucas vot ing against it, and a Committee was appointed to oppose the progress of the measure. Previous to the meeting, several landowners and occupiers on the line intended to be passed over by the South-Eastern applied for admit tance to the meeting, for the purpose of supporting that Company in their projects. The numbers were superior to those of the meeting; but on being asked if they were in opposition to the proposed railways, and declaring they were not, they were refused to be admitted. PROPOSED LINES THROUGH SOUTHWARK.—Yesterday a public meeting of the rate-payers was held in the ves try-room of St. George's Church, in pursuance of a re quisition presented to the churchwardens, to take into consideration the effect of the proposed railways through this and the adjoining parishes, and whether the same would not be injurious to the trading and other interests of the parish, and tend to lessen the income from the rates. The Rev. Mr. Horton, the rector, in the chair. Mr. Cope, in moving the first resolution, contended that the formation of, or extension of, railways through so populous a district as the parish of St. George, with their terminus contiguous to the bridges, would ma terially affect the interests of the inhabitants, and, without affording any corresponding advantages, con siderably decrease the poor and other rates of the parish by the destruction of houses that would be required, and the removal of their occupants. In addition to this, tns. surrounding property would be greatly deteriorated in value, and injury would be inflicted on the trade of the district. He called upon the meeting to use all the means in their power, by petitioning Parliament, and appoint ing a committee to watch the progress of the Bill, and, it necessary, opposing its passing into a law; and moved a resolution to that effect, which was seconded by Mr. Marten. A discussion took place, in which the Rev. Chairman, Mr. Boxer, Mr. Chester, Mr. Beetor, and others took part, contending that the evils apprehended by Mr. Cope would not arise by the extension of the railways ; that it would not be politic for the parish to interfere ; and that it did not follow that, because the Board of Trade had reported in favour of the Bill, that Parliament would adopt the recommendation. Mr. Boxer moved, as an amendment, " That the vestry clerk should be directed to watch the progress of the several Railway Bills affecting or cutting through the parish, and to report thereon from time to time to the parish officers." The amendment was carried by a large majurity. URA.YESEND AND ROCHESTER.—This line, connecting Gravesend with Chatham, Rochester, and Strood, is now completed. It is a single line of seven miles in length, and has been constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Rastrick, the engineer, and Messrs. Henderson and Fox, the contractors, upon one of the banks of the Thames and Medway Canal, without a special Act of Parliament, there being a clause in the Act incorporat ing the Canal Company, enabling them at any time " to fill up, alter, or convert the canal into a carriage way," and consequently into a railway. Operations were com menced in February last, and the works were completed on the 28th ult., at which period the line would have been opened to the public, but for some apprehension as to the safety of a tunnel, constituting part of the canal, of two miles in l eng th. A s h or t t i me s i nce G enera l P as ! ley, the Government Inspector of Railways, tested its security by firing cannon at the different sections, to ascertain whether the chalk through which it is exca vated requir e d b ric ki ng , an d h e recommen d e d th e addi tion of some masonry and works. On the 4th instant he made his final inspection, and reported to the Board of Trade. The railway runs along that bank of the canal on which formerly was the towing-path, but the opposite bank will henceforward be used for that purpose, thus giv ing a locomotive line for passengers, and a canal transit for goods. As there is only one towing-path, through that portion of it will be by steam-tugs. The run between Gravesend and Rochester will occupy about twenty mi nutes. It is proposed to place the terminus at the former town, in connection with the new pier, now erecting at the Terrace-gardens. SALISBURY AND YEOVIL.—On Wednesday last a meet ing of the inhabitants was held at Yeovil, in support of this line, Mr. G. Edwards, the portreeve, 'presiding. Resolutions proposed and spoken to by Mr. J. T. Vining, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Mayo, Mr. Benham, and others, were passed unanimously in favour of a junction with the South-Western Railway. Mr. J. Batten stated that the Directors of that Company had no intention of abandon ing the undertaking, notwithstanding the unfavourable report of the Board of Trade, but that, on the contrary, they were prepared to carry it out if the towns upten the route gave them support.
