SECRETARY--David Bartle, Esq. Since the formation of the Company for inakitig this railway, and the allotment of the Shares for that part of the line between Chelms ford and Bury, the practicability, paramount importance, and supe rior advantages of its plan have been so unequivocally recognised by the Board of Trade, and by the Committee of the House of Commons for the railways of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, that the Provisional Committee have determined to now, at once, adopt the extension of their line, originally projected, from Bury to join the Norwich and Brandon line at Thetford ; thereby to complete the shortest and best communication between London and Norwich, in the direction of the old road, through all the chief central towns of Essex and Suffolk, and at the same time to open a very direct communication with the great trunk lines of the north and west. For these important objects, to be secured by an extension of only 12 miles, to connect Bury St. Edmunds and Thetford, the Provisional Committee propose to increase the capital 250,0001., by the issue of 10,000 additional shares ; and, for full particulars of the entire plan, refer to their original prospectus. The Chelmsford and Bary line not having been projected in time to bring it before Perliament in the present session in a substantive form, it has been but imperfectly, and merely incidentally, in opposing other lines, that its merits could be at all brought under the notice of the Board of Trade or of the Committee of the House ; but the strong impression made, notwithstanding, in its favour, is obviously appa rent, both in the reports of the one and in the decisions of the other. The Board of Trade, in stating the considerations upon which it ad vised the rejection of the Norwich Direct line, reported (March 4th, 1845) that " It is necessary to advert to a railway called the Chelms ford and Bury Railway, projected, but not brought before Parliament, the plan, and section, and traffic tables of which have been submitted to the Board of Trade. This railway appears to us to accommodate a more populous district than that intended to be traversed by the London and Norwich Direct Railway. Its section shows that it may be done at a moderate cost ;" (while) " there is a strong local feeling in its favour, evinced by the memorials which have been re ceived by the Board of Trade from the inhabitants of Braintree, Halstead, Sudbury, and other places between Chelmsford and Bury." The Committee of the House of Commons have since not only rejected the Norwich Direct and Bury and Cambridge lines, but the Chairman (Lord Sandon) previous to giving a decision against the Norwich Direct, took occasion to observe that " the Committee was decidedly in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury scheme " To these public testimonials in favour of the Chelmsford and Bury line, the Provisional Committee have the satisfaction of aiding, that by a special arrangement with the solicitor of the Eastern Counties Railway, they are assured of the concurrence and good offices of that important Company in the formation of their line. In allotting their original Shares, the Provisional Committee ne cessarily rejected numerous applications, of which it may be pre ,umed that a considerable number were from parties as highly re spectable as any of those to whom Shares could then be given ; and in the distribution of the additional Shares a reasonable preference will be given to original applicants, as well as to original Share holders. Applications for Shares, in the annexed form, may be made to the Secretary, at the Company's Offices, 61, Moorgate-street, Lon don ; to the Solicitors, or any of the Local Agents ; or to the fol lowing brokers :—Messrs.

The Marquis of CLArutIcARDE having presented a petition from the High Sheriff and Grand Jury of the county of Galway, iu favour of the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill, The Earl of BESBOROUGH, in moving that the ad journed debate on the Bill be resumed, announced his intention of persisting in his motion, that the further THE 8 UN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 10, _lBl5, consideration of the Bill should be postponed to that day three months. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE hoped the Bill would be allcwcd to proceed. He was rejoiced to find their Lordships opposing themselves to railway jobbing, but it was nol, fair to,pourit,e upon this particular Bill,when other parties equally guiry had been permitted to carry their Bills.through the House. The railway would be a great advantage to Ireland, and they would do no substantial good by stopping this Bill. Earl BATHURST said the report did not go into the merits of the scheme. It merely stated that fraud had been committed. Lord BEAUMONT would vote for tho postponement, as a proper punishment for the parties who had been guilty of the fraud. The Duke of CLEVELAND, Lord REDESDALE, and Lord MONTEAGLE, supported the motion for post ponement. The Earl of DEVON considered that if the Bill were rejected they would be inflicting injury on those who were innocent, and therefore he should oppose the motion. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought the conduct of the directors suspicious. They should have come before the Committee to clear themselves. On a division, the motion for rejecting the Bill was carried by a majority of 29—the numbers being, for the Earl of BESBOROUGH'S motion 37, against it 8. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he should on Friday move that proof should be required by the Standing Orders' Committee that the names subscribed to a Bill or a petition be genuine. The Duke of BUCCLEUCR moved the third reading of the Scotch Poor-Law Bill. Lord CAMPBELL opposed the 17th clause. The House was subsequently addressed by the Earl of DALHOUSIE, the LORD-CHANCELLOR, Lord Col-I'Emum, and the Duke of WELLINGTON. The clause, however, was even tually withdrawn, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Several other Bills were then forwarded a stage, after which their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve. Several unopposed Bills were forwarded a stage. On the third reading of the Small Debts Bill, Mr. H. BERKELEY objected to the 7th clause, which gave to the Secretary of State the power of increasing or diminishing the number of courts. Sir J. GRAHAM consented to the substitution of the words " her Majesty" for the words " Secretary of State," and the Bill was read a third time and passed. On the third reading of the Customs Bill, Mr. WAwN moved the insertion of a clause exempting, under certain circumstances,vessels in ballast from pilotage dues. The clause, on a division, was negatived, the numbers being, for the clause, 11 ; against it, 26 ; majority, 15. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. On the motion for the recommittal of the Joint Stock Banks (Ireland and Scotland) Bill, Mr. BOUVERIS moved that it be recommitted that day six months. The motion, which was supported by Mr. P. M, STEWART and opposed by the CHANCELLOR of the Ex• CHEQUER, was negatived without a division ; the Bil was recommitted ; the House resumed, and the report was received. On the motion of Viscount CounTENAY,the Chairman of the Committee on Group X was empowered to report on the London and York Railway Bill forthwith. Several additional standing orders, regulating the pas sage of Railway Bills through the House, were then agreed to, after a short discussion. The principal effect of these alterations in the standing orders will be to in crease the deposits on all railway schemes, except those which have already passed the House, from 5 to 10 per cent. Mr. MILNER GIBSON then moved for a Select Com mittee to inquire into the allegations in the petition of Colonel LAUTOUR, complainingof the manner in which he had been treated by the Government in relation to certain lands granted to him at the Swan River. After a short explanation from Mr. HOPE the motion was withdrawn. The report of the Committee of Supply was brough up and agreed to, and the House adjourned. The Oxford Circuit, it appears, have come to a reso lution to exclude from its bar-mess any of its members who are connected with the public press. As it is highly fitting that the locality, as well as the date of any very momentous event should be faithfully recorded, we deem it necessary to state that this decree of ex communication was fulminated in the ancient city of Shrewsbury—hitherto memorable by no more dignified associations than those which connect themselves with such events as the fight between the Houses of Lan caster and Northumberland—the progress of the young Harry of Monmouth, or the bloody death of Harry Hotspur. It will now be remembered as the scene of one of those awful sentences of exclusion and separation, the terror of which survives to a remote posterity. as it reads with reverence and awe the mighty doings of the great men of former ages. Our readers are probably aware that it has long been the custom of the principal London newspapers to take their reports of the causes tried in larious parts of the kingdom, before the judges of assize, and of the proceedings in other (provin cial) courts, from gentlemen who are barristers, for the most part practising on such circuits, and whose con nexion, for these purposes, with the metropolitan journals, arises out of the fact of their having been, at some former period, attached to one of the several corps of London Parliamentary reporters. In other instances, it is perfectly well known that these barristers, although in practice in the law courts, and entered of such circuits, still retain this connexion of Parliamentary re porters with the newspapers. In the latter capacity, it is scarcely possible for men of somewhat more than ave rage talent and quickness, not to acquire a far deeper insight into the course of public business—the history and bearing of passing events—the arguments for and against particular measures of legislation, or lines of foreign and domestic policy still pending or re eently adopted—and the springs and motives of the con duct of living statesmen—than gentlemen, the whole of whose practical experierce of the business of the world and the characters of men, is limited to that which is to be acquired within the four walls of a law court, the se clusio❑ of chambers, their daily tour in terns time be tween the one and the other, and the travelling observa tions of the most important periodical excitement of their existence—going the circuit. On circuit, therefore, the majority of the members of a bar-mess will be found a company of well-behaved gentlemen, whose conversa tion is either the most insipid or the most technical in the world,—limited, in the one case, to college reminiscences of the stupendous attainments of "read ing -men," and the stupendous sprees and follie s of " gay men ;" the wine parties given in A. B.'s rooms —the card parties at C. D.'s ; or, in the other case, their conversation is limited to the discussion of this or that issue, the argument of the counsel, and the charge of the judge. The fact is, that, taken as a body, practising barristers have about the least share of general informa tion, the most contracted acquirements in general sci ence, the most uninformed and prejudiced views on all general questions that lie dehors the little circle of the legal business with which they are connected, or to which their attention has been directed, than any branch of the other liberal professions can be reproached with. It is nothing to the purpose to talk of the scientific at tainments of the LYNDHURSTS, the BRUCES, the Pot.- LOCKS, the ALDERSONS, the PARKES, and the MAULES, on the Bench ; or the very few conspicuous men now below it, who are worthily following in the footsteps of the late Sir WILLIAM FoLLETT, or the present Mr. PEMBERTON LEIGH, manifesting the highest cultivation of intellect and extension of knowledge, with the most profound and intimate acquaintance with the theory of law, and of the professional practice de voted to their practical exposition and application. But the muster-roll is soon called over ; and when these and a few more of the same eminence are told off, there remain not practitioners enough to supply the skeleton of another company. All the remaining " rank and file" are not only men of common-place, and even in ferior learning or knowledge, in the largest sense of those terms—but men who will boast, as we ourselves have heard an eminent judge boast, who now presiJes over one of the most important tribunals of the Kingdom, when, as opposing counsel, he had to reply to a Learned Brother (an " Oxford man," too,) who had aptly quoted in the course of his argument a passage from Horace (" ad Pisonem ;") that " Thank God, they know nothing but law." Whether it is a sense of these and similar deficiencies which creates in the majority of the members of a bar-mess the sort of prejudice and that they have long manifested of the two or three mem bers of it who may happen to be connected with the newspapers, we will not undertake to determine. But since this hostility, although but recently developed at Shrewsbury, is of many years' standing, and appears to have already pervaded the bar-messes of other circuits, we think it but fair to stigmatize it as the miserable ebullition of a petty and disgraceful jealouiy. Jealousy, it may be, on the part of the briefless, of those who have, in these newspaper connexions, permanent re sources beyond their professional earnings, or, on the part of those who do hold briefs, of men that have a ca pacity which can travel beyond their contents or the pleadings founded upon them. A Learned Chief Baron, not long since deceased, before his elevation to the Bench, entertained, as we have reason to know, similar intentions to that on which the Shrewsbury sages hare acted, but neither to this extent, nor to the disqualifying men, previously connected with the press, from being called to the bar, did that learned individual ever suc ceed in giving effect to his object. On tile particular circumstances out of whi .h this re solution of the Oxford bar-mess arose, we shall not animadvert, except to observe that if the alleged ground of the resolution be the true one, it manifestly involves an act of the most signal injustice and insult to the whole number of those barristers who have any connexion with the press, on account of the unfair con duct charged upon one individual of that number. If the alleged ground of the " resolution " be not the true one,—then is the whole proceeding a miserable and un worthy attempt to conceal the principle of the animosity entertained, under a quibble to which an assembly of gentlemen should have been ashamed to resort. We have all respect for Mr. Sergeant TAL• FoURD, as a very amiable gentleman, a man of letters, and an upright lawyer ; and we imagine that the professional friends, who possess the advan tage of his personal friendship, may have felt warmly, and earnestly resented, the supposed designed omission of his name from the law reports supplied by a member of the Oxford Circuit, to our most Influential Contem porary. But the bar-mess, to justify their " resolution" of excluding all other barristers of similar connexions, could have been justified only by being in a condition to show that these latter, as a body, adopt the practice of suppressing names in respect of the same Learned Gen tleman, or others of the same profession. But, to take for granted that such must be the case, is just as objec tionable as if we were to form our judgment of the gene_ ral spirit of a liberal profession from the paltry conduct of a handful of such illiberal members of it as the bar mess of the Oxford Circuit. If, as we shrewdly suspects the true moving cause of this " resolution" be a feeling of personal jealousy on the part of the " finer gentleman " of the Circuit—of those who are reluc tant that " working gentlemen" who honourably supplement their want of private patrimony by under tuking the duties of a laborious, responsible, and im portant vocation, to the due and honest discharge of which the most distinguished members of the bar are largely indebted, not only for their professional reputa tion, but for the professional incomes they earn—we tell the parties concerned in the transaction that they will have to retrace the step they have taken. Public opi nion will not endure it. Professional liberality will not confirm it. Barristers who report, or have reported, for the public press, will continue to " stand between the wind and their gentility " with as much meritorious ambition to achieve, and as much unwearied energy in accomplishing professional distinction, and even legis lative eminence, as the gifted owners of those illustrious names which are entered on the records of the same career as that they have adopted. It can never be matter of reproach with the wise or the good, the learned or the leaders in the noblest branch of civil institutions, to have selected the same path and trodden in the same footsteps which Dr. CAMPBELL, and Dr. , .JOHNSON, BURKE, MACKINTOSH, DOUGLAS, and WoOD- FALL, among those who are no more, and titled and ennobled individuals among their survivors and suc cessors who still remain among us—have followed with honour to themselves and advantage to the public, as the high road to that preferment and eminence which they have adorned and illustrated by their preferment to them. Accounts have been received from Madrid to the 22d. The Ministers had all left that evening for Saragossa, where the important question of the QUEEN'S journey to the Basque provinces will be discussed. This question involves the questions of the ascendancy of CHRISTINA or NARVAEZ, and also that of a Carlist alliance. The QUEEN and her mother and sister left Barcelona for Saragossa on the morning of the 21st. They were accompanied by NARVAEZ and CONCHA, and had been preceded by MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA. The Three per Cents. closed at 28 1 4 for cash, and 28 13-16 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 1 / 8 for the 27th of Aug. ; and the Coupons at 24 at 30 days.

We find in the Moniteur the laws authorising the adjadica tion of the Tours and Nantes, the Paris and Strasburgh Rail ways, and the branch lines to Fecamp, to Dieppe, and to Aix The Conservative candidate, M. ALFRED RENOURD DE BESSIERE, had been returned deputy fcr Strasburgh. Don CAnLos and the Princess of BEIRA were at Avignon on the 24th. The news of the escape of Dr. STEIGER from Lucerne was received with enthusiasm in Germany, and celebrated by fetes. The Constitutionnel states that the King of PRUSSIA has refused to accede to the request of the Catholic German Princes, made at the suggestion of the Court of Rome, that he would adopt energetic measures for the repression of the schism which has recently sprung up in the Catholic Church. After reminding the applicants of the refusal of Rome to interfere to put a stop to the incendiary proceedings of the Jesuits, the answer of the KING states that the present move ment is only the result of the culpable conduct which the tiltramontanists have pursued towards Prussia. Notwithstanding the comparative gloom on our Money market on Saturday last, the Paris Bourse was on Monday unusually animated. Railroad shares rose with rapidity, and to a height that was quite unexpected. Orleans, for example, reached 1,237 if., being a rise of 35f. as compared with the closing price on Saturday. The Vielle Montagne Zinc Shares remained at 7,250 f., and the Nouvelle Montagne at 3,000 f. (Saturday's price). This buoyancy communicated itself to the transactions in public securities. The Three per Cents. closed at 83f. 70c. ; the Five per Cents. at 1211. 90c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,237 f. 50c.; Rouen, 1,072 f. 50c ; Vierzon, 780 f. ; Havre, 892 f. 50c.; Avignon, 1,0320 50c. ; Basle, 270 f.; Spanish Passives, 6L.

SUNDERLAND ELECTION.—Mr. Hudson entered the town on Monday, and addressed the electors. He announced himself as a supporter of the present corn-laws. On other points his speech was a tissue of vague generalities. His speech has disappointed the people, and several who were awaiting his arrival to make up their minds, joined the free-traders on Tuesday. The Tories will probably have recourse to their old trick, but they are narrowly watched, and the League have offered 1001. reward for satisfactory proof of any ease of bribery, and without bribery the Tories have no chance of beating Col. Thompson. THE BALLOON ASCENT FROM UREMORNE GARDENS. —The following particulars have been given by Mr. Charles Green of the progress and descent of the Royal Nassau Balloon on Monday :—On its departure from Cremorne Gardens the balloon was carried east by north, and passed over Chelsea Hospital, the new Bridewell, and the Middlesex end of Westminster Bridge. It continued this course to the city side of Blackfriars Bridge, where it met a current of air (being then at an altitude of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet) of south by west, by which it was carried over St. Paul's. Here it was apparently stationary from the variable winds. It subsequently went directly over the Post-office, going towards Haggerstone, Dalston, and Clapton, over Stamford.hill, towards the reservoir of the New River. About this spot it was Mr. Green's Intention to have descended ; but he was prevented from doing so, in consequence of the immense crowds of persons which were approaching, many of whom had ,followed the path of the balloon from London, and he was alarmed for the safety of his passengers. He then immediately re.aacended, when the machine attained an altitude of about 6,500 feet, by flinging out ballast, the barometer having fallen from 29.85. to 23.90 degrees, and the thermometer from 66 to 46 degrees. The sudden change of temperature, which took place in a space of about four minutes (the altitude having varied from between 1,000 or 2,000 feet to 6,500) p ro d uced a sudden shivering. At this height was obtained a m agnificent view of the metropolis with its myriads of gas lights, which excited the delight of all. After being in the aerial region. about two hours and twenty minutes, the balloon was safely landed in a large marsh at Tottenham, near the residence of Mr. H. L. Small, a director of the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. Small and his family provided a hospitable meal for the ad. venturous o o u f s he c r om m ii j a e n s y ty , after which they returned to the gardens. When at a height of about 3,0 00 f eet. Mr. T. Mathews, u p on being requested, sang a new comic s on g called " Pi g s p ettito m ii u sev e r al dr m which was rapturously encored. While ne ar the metro p olis, " Th e t a i drank e in sin the c h a m gardens, a a r g d n e e ns . Albert, ;and the rest of the Royal Family," , The balloon was inflated from the C helsea Gasworks of the Imperi al Gas Com p an y , and its as cending power was so g reat that it elevated as many as twenty.one persons between six and seven o'clock on Monday night.

It is with the deepest regret that the merchants and others connected with Lower Canada have been informed of another extensive fire at Quebec, very nearly as destructive as that which recently took place. The damage done, indeed, as far as property is concerned, even exceeds that which was an nounced by the arrival of the former steamer. Very nearly 1,400 houses were destroyed by this second awful visitation, and between 30 or 40 blown up. In this instance, however, it appears that the richer portion of the province has been visi , ed, and it is held at the lowest estimate that 1,300,0001. will not replace the property destroyed by this second occur rence. We find by the Quebec Gazette that a Committee was immediately formed for the purpose of affording relief to those who had lost their all. But a small portion of the property burnt was insured, and it had become a serious question whether the immense losses which have occurred would not have the effect of breaking up one or more of the fire insurance companies. The Canada Office had announced its readiness to pay all losses, it having been one of the original establishments, and with a very wealthy proprietary. A letter we have seen from Port St. Francis (which is in the eastern townships) states that the fire was visible there, although the distance is from 111 to 112 miles. We rather doubt the fact that the flames themselves were seen, but as at this season of the year the sky is beautifully clear by the principle of refraction, it is probable that the eye might have been deceived. But still it shows how intense the flames must have been to have been indirectly seen at so great a distance. The first remit tance made by the " Canada Relief Committee " could scarcely have arrived out ere this second calamity occurred. The greater necessity now exists for a much more liberal subscription than that which has already taken place in this country in aid of those who have been burnt out. The Pro vincial Government had come forward most readily; and we fare assured that, in the dispatches that have come over by the Acadia, the Governor General has suggested the policy of a loan to be raised here upon the security of the Province, and also upon the property and new buildings which are to be erected ; and which, of course, will be upon a more safe construction than the thousands of houses destroyed by the two great fires. At almost the best season of the year the general trade of the Lower Province has been, for the second time, almost entirely suspended. As the other important events in Texas, at Matanzas, and in Mexico, are fully detailed in other columns of The Sun, it is nut necessary for us to dilate upon such topics under this bead, suffice it to say that they engross almost exclusive attention here. There was an increase in the ship arrivals at Quebec up to July 11, to the extent of 303 ships of 125,936 tons, and the number of steerage passengers was 20,003, 11,986 being from Ireland, and 7,083 from England, and the rest from Scotland, &c. The legal opinions given in favour of the right of the Mexican bondholders to the money in the hands of Messrs. Lizardi, have fully borne out our oft-expressed opinions, and there is every hope of a successful issue in the event of a trial. Ihe Public Securities have been flatter again to-day, and are quiet ; Consols are 98 1 ,E to 98 3 / for present transfer, and 98 3 4 to 98% for time.

The news from Mexico has added to the effect of the variable weather. The Foreign Investments have been quite neglected. Spa nish are, however, rather better than yesterday, the Five per Cents. being 26 to lA, and the Three per Cents. 37% to %. Portuguese Converted are nominally about 65. Mexican have been down nearly 1 per cent. on the Texas news, being 36 1 4 to 35% for the Actives. This is settling day in the Share Market, and engages principally the attention of the jobbers. Blackwell Shares are rather flatter, Brighton meet with ft& support, and also Croydon. South-Eastern are lower. Generally prices are scarcely so good. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

For the time of year our market was very scantily sup plied with Wheat of home produce, owing to which, and the full average number of buyers in attendance, the demand for that article was somewhat active, and in some few in stances a trifle mole money was obtained for the finest qualities of both red and white. At the close of business scarcely any samples were unsold. Of Foreign Wheat free of duty the show was but limited, hence the sale for it was rather brisk, at fully Monday's advance in the quotations. Bonded corn was inquired for on higher terms. Grinding Barley sold steadily at full currencies. For other kinds comparatively little business was passing. The Malt trade was dull, yet prices were supported. In Oats very little was doing, but Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear. ARRIVALS. English ...... Irish ........ Foreign ......

The line from London to Cambridge, and thence to Ely, and (ruin Norwich to Ely, is opened to the public today. Yesterday the inspection of the line took place. The arrangements were thus:—One train, consisting of 13 double carriages, an open car riage, &c., in which were the chairman of the Eastern Counties line, Mr. Bosanquet, the directors and their friends, many scienti tic men, engineers, &c., left the Shoreditch station at ten minutes to 9 o'clock, after having partaken of breakfast, provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach, of the London Tavern. The train, which was accompanied by the band of the Coldstream Guards, and decorated with various flags and banners, proceeded through the Stratford, Leabridge, Tottenham, Marsh.lane, Edmonton, Ponder's End, and Waltham stations to the Broxbourne station, at which it ar rived at 25 minutes past 9 o'clock, having performed 19 miles in 35 minutes; It stopped at this last-mentioned station ten minutes, and then proceeded through the St. Margaret's, Ware, Hertford, Royston, Burnt-hill, Harlow, and Saw brideworth stations to the station at Bishop Stortford, which it reached at five minutes past IG, having performed the distance from London, 321 miles, in 1 hour and 15 minutes. At Bishop Stortford the train remained 10 minutes, and then entered the new ground thence to Cambridge and Ely. It passed through the Stanstead, Elenham, Newport. and Wenden stations, reaching the last of these at 20 minutes to 11 o'clock, the distance from London being 431 miles, which was done, including the stoppages, in 1 hour and 50 minutes. It stepped at the station 20 minutes, and then passed through the Chesterford station, the Littlebury station, and through the tunnel, the Whittlesford and Shelford stations. and arrived at the Cambridge statien at a quarter past )1 o'clock, having performed the distance of 57* miles, including all the stoppages above.mentioned, in 2 hours 25 minutes . Here an immense concourse of spectators were assembled to greet the arrival of the party. The bells rang merry peals; there was a continuous discharge of ordnance; the hums of the mob were loud and vigorous; and the band struck up, "See the Conquering Hero comes," &c, After a stay of half an hour, the train was again . in motion, and at a quarter past twelve o'clock reached the Ely station, which was decorated with flags, flowers, garlands, &c., and where a provincial band of musicians struck up a merry tune. The train from London was here joined by the train which had left Norwich at half-past ten o'clock, and which had passed through Wymondhaao, Attlebo. rough, Thetford, and Brandon stations, stopping a short time at all those places. The company having alighted, a great portion of them walked up to the city to see the cathedral, and, on their return, both the London train and the Norwich train proceeded to Cambridge, leaving the Ely station at twenty minutes to two, and arriving at the Cambridge station at five minutes past that hour, getting over the distance, fourteen miles and a half, in twenty.five minutes. It will be seen by this account that some parts of the journey were run at a rate of speed upwards of 30 miles an hour, and allowing for stoppages, that the average of the whole was upwards of 26 miles an hour. This, considering that this trip was for the purpose of inspection, was a prodigious rateof pace, and is highly creditable to the engineers and all concerned. The new rails, from Bishop Stortford to Ely, are laid down with great skill, and it is understood that those from Ely to Norwich are equally good. The whole road from London to Ely is almost a dead flat. There are no cuttings, and only one short bit of tunnelling. The various stations are commodious, some of them elegant structures. At most of the principal places the natives were assembled in their holiday costumes to do honour to the occasion, and at Chesterford about 500 or 600 of the labourers and workmen in the employ of Mr. Jackson, the contractor for a part of the line, were feasted under an enormous tent. The workmen of Messrs, Grissell and Peto had already been feasted to the number of 1,000 at Ely, and a similar banquet had been supplied to the men on the Norwich line at one of the stations, The whole of the company from London and Norwich partook, at three o'clock, of a most sumptuous not to say recherche banquet, furnished by Mr. Gunter, of Berkeley-square, and cooked, by permission of the college authorities, in the kitchens of Downing College. Upwards of 600 gentlemen sat down to the tables, beneath:the ample covering of a most elegant marquee, manufac. tared by Mr. B. Edgington, of the Borough, and which effectually protected them from the showers which at times descended in tor. resits. The chair was taken by Mr. Bosanquet, who was supported by Lords Roden and Braybrook, the Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Ely, the Vice-Chancellor of the University, most of the heads of houses, &c. There were also present, Major Beresford, M.P., Mr. M'Kenzie, M.P., Mr. Ward, M.P., the Mayor and Cor poration of Cambridge, a great number of the clergy of the Uni versity and neighbourhood, and many of the gentry of the county. Mr. Toole, the well-known toast-master, acted as fugleman, and gave out the healths and toasts in his best style. The usual loyal and appropriate toasts were drunk with the honours, the military band playing " God save the Queen," and other inspiring airs. The Chairman, Lord Roden, the Bishop of Norwich, the Dean of Ely, and several other gentlemen briefly addressed the company in reply to the toasts, eulogized the conduct of those who had been employed in carrying out and perfecting the work that they bad accomplished, and spoke particularly in praise of the conduct of the navigators and workmen employed. Mr. Mackenzie and Mr. Ward also addressed the company on the utility of the design, and the benefits it was likely to confer. The Mayor of Cambridge, the Vice-Chancellor, and other gentlemen whose healths were drunk, also returned thanks. It was now time for the train to return, and accordingly, at half-past four o'clock, the company broke up. The train for Norwich first took its de. parture, and at twelve minutes past six o'clock the train to Lon don also departed, travelling at a good rate of speed, and stopping at several stations to put down passengers. It arrived in London shortly before nine o'clock. Altogether the opening of this rail. road is one in which the districts through which it passes must be congratulated for the general benefits it will confer, and the great facility of communication it will afford to places which heretofore were comparatively isolated, and excluded from each other and from the rest of the world, THE KING OF HOLLAND. We have great pleasure in announcing that the Queen, through the Duke of Wellington, as Commander-in-Chief, has appointed the King of Holland a Field Marshal in the British army, an honour conferred on a brave and liberal monarch, who had in his younger days fought and bled under our national flag against a powerful and common enemy. It is an act in every respect becoming to the nation, and one which will give the greatest satisfaction to the army. ThelKing, as is no doubt known to the majority of our readers, is a general in the army, being next in senority to General Sir George Nugent, Bart., G.C.8., and by five years senior to General Thomas Grosvenor and Gene ral the Marquis of Anglesey. His commission in the British service is dated as follows :—Lieutenant-Colonel, the 11th of June, 1811 ; Colonel, the lith of October, 1811 • Major- General, the 13th of December, 1813 ; Lieutenant General, the Bth of July, 1814; and General, the 25th of July, 1814. Yesterday forenoon, previously to his Majesty holding his diplomatic levee, the Duke of Beaufort and Mr. Culling Smith had the honour of an audience with the King, at his apartments at Mivart's. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BLACKWALL.- Yesterday an inquest, pursuant to adjournment, was held before Mr. J. C. Carttar, at the Unicorn Tavern, Horseferry, Greenwich, upon the body of Thomas Kennedy, aged 20 years, who died on board the Dreadnought Hospital ship on Saturday last. It ap peared from the evidence that the deceased was at work in a field on the Isle of Dogs at the time of the fire, and observed fire Issuing from one of the houses destroyed. He ran with others to the spot, and being most anxious to save his landlord's as well as his own property, he rushed up stairs, and was in the act of re moving some articles, when the roof gave way, and he was nearly buried in the burning ruins. With much presence of mind and great exertions he managed to escape across a ditch into a field adjoining, enveloped in flames, and rolled about in the grass until the fire was extinguished. Assistance was then rendered, and he was conveyed without delay on board the Dreadnought, where he lingered until Saturday last, when he died of ulcerated intestines, induced by the dreadful injuries he had received. Verdict, "Ac cidental death." sPoitTir.To GOODWOOD RACES. RACE COURSE, EWE O'CLOCK, TUESDAY AFTERNOON. The beauty of the scenery, the aristocratic grade of the company, the magnitude and importaoce of the prizes , acid the determination evinced in every branch of the manage ment to give character and eclat to the meeting, combine t render it altogether unapproachable. Upon its varied at tractions, it has been our duty to enlarge, year after year, 0 each occasion having some new improvement on the course!, some addition to the sport, or some judicious enlargement the rules to present to notice; and such was our task a sboe. , lime back, when we submitted an outline of the Mall' rich Stakes and Cups open to competition, and of the fresh regalts; tions for the more effectual exclusion of the " black sheep the Turf." At that time, however, although aware th workmen had been actively employed for several months,. we were ignorant of the extent to which the march of" , provement had extended. We were agreeably surprisee therefore, to find that the course had been widened about si_fl or seven yards. The turf on the straight running h ad taken up and re-laid, making it, in the opinion of all prbeeti. ite x cal men, perfect. The inclosure at the stand has been et. . _ tended to the judge's chair, at the lower end, and round D° beeeh trees, and back to the road at the other; seats hap been placed round some of the trees for the acc ommodati on of the ladies, ,and if the gentlemen can b e P o t veiled upon to bear in mind for whom and with K tbe intention they were provided, this part of inclosure will be found an agreeable shelter in hot wear, i Some less striking improvements might be mentioned; I ",i this, however, we are prevented by the early commencemo,'„ of the racing, and the necessity of dispatching our rep ort 4 time for publication. At present, therefore, we must cOO % ourselves to a brief notice of the opening of the meeting 0 4, afternoon. In every respect it has come up to our expeee'y tions. The weather, although showery, and at times 0 10 sonably cool, is favourable, and the company ass ells fot within the stand and its inclosure exceedingly n umerous lo s a first day, embracing a display of rank and beau t Y Ascot alone can equal.
