The formation of Direct ' Main-Trunk Railway, for the Im portant purpose of connecting the north of lingland and Scotland, 1 !): York and Lincoln, with the metropolis, has been decided upon, niter mature investigation and conviction of the public advantages isuch a line of communication. The line will oomtnence near Ytng's-cross, in the New-road, the loost central situation in the metropolis, both as regards the West. end and the Cley ; it proceeds by Chipping Barnet, Biggleswade, Reeds, Huntingdon, near Peterborough and Market Deeping by atansford, to the west of Bourn, east of Grantham, west of Sleaford, and east of Newark, to Lincoln, and thence by Gainsborough, Thorne, Sisaith, and Selby, to York. The distance by it between London and York will be 180 miles. will be about 90 miles shorter than by any other proposed line. t will reduce by 50 miles the present distance between London and York, and will consequently by the same distance bring New castle and Edinburgh nearer to the metropolis, while the distance laved between London and Hull will be no less than 43 miles. It will ferns the nearest route to Leeds, Selby, Hull, Halifax, Ilradferd, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Pontefract, and Sheffield; thus commanding the traffic of the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, Ss well as the traffic from the north of England, Scotland, Lincoln. 4i re, and the ether agricultural districts through which it passes. Taking Its course through a highly productive country, it em braces all the market towns of importance, and connects all Lin. v ainokire with the manufacturing districts and the metropolis. It opens an easy communication between Norfolk and Suffblk, Slid the West and North of England. The line, as will be seen by the map , d o e s not interfere with the drainage of the fen country, whilst it embraces the most important markets and towns of that district. The inclinations are extremely favourable, and are obtained at a moderate expense, there not being any engineering work of great magnitude on the line. The gunge will be the same as the exist ing lines through the manufacturing districts, and all loss of time In travelling will be avoided, as the lino will be an integral trunk kne under one management. The expo - Ise of construction being moderate, and the distance se Much reduced, the fares will be proportionately less, and an ample Profit is sufficiently shown by the annexed abstract of the traffic tables, which are the result of a most rigid investigation, and are Prepared as evidence fur Parliament. The capital proposed to be raised, namely, 4,000,0001., is a sum cleeeding the engineers' estimate. It has, however, been thought advisable to allow an ample margin for any increase of prices above those of the present time. The surveys were commenced in October last, and in March 14 % the Direct Northern Line, and its advantages (together with many other trial lines, and th eir disadvanta g es), were carefully vrought to the consideration of many gentlemen well qualified to form an opinion on such matters, and finally the:prospectus, accom. l'anied by a map on a sufficient scale, was published on the 4th of April, 1844. This prosp ectus and ma p show the London terminus a , Icing's-cross. At this date there was not before the public any other project tar a direct line of railway from London to York ; but when more than a month had elapsed from the ti me of the publication of the P rospectus and Map of the D irect Northern Railway, the Cam. fridge and York via Lincoln Railway Company (who had up to that time adhered to an indirect line by Cambridge to York) Ch anged their title to that of the London and York Railway Corn_ Pant', and their stated capita l, which previously had varied from 4s . ° ,50 0,000/. to 1,6 00 , 0001 . , was then, for the first time, named at ' , °00,000/. In their new prospectus the London and York Com l'anY also adopted King's-cross for their London terminus. Of the sense entertained of these encroachments by the pro. taoters of the Direct Northern Railway, the York and London C4 ntnany were duly apprised by a circular addressed to each mem. her of their Committee on the 18th of May last, and signed by the secretary, Major Amsinck. A strap of the London and York Railway was, however, pub lithed in the latter part o f Au g ust last, which, to the surprise of the promoters of the Direct Northern Line, showed an attempt to a PPeopriate upwards of 70 miles from London of the published line of the Direct Northern Railway. Still the project of the London and York Railway Company falls eery far short of a direct line from London to the north, as will be 6 aell from the following data Prom London to York the distance by the present lines of rail -210 miles ; by the proposed London and York line, stated % 0 be 200 miles; by the proposed Direct Northern Railway, 180 tines. During the progress of this undertaking, a very large proportion v t the landowners on the line have been communicated with, and c onsulted to reference to it, and the full concurrence of that im. Portent interest is, with very few exceptions, confidently relied on. Public attention having been lately drawn to the atmospheric laineiple, the Committee wish to observe that they are in a con ellition to take advantage of that principle, should it eventually be Shown tab, for the benefit of the undertaking. The sections of the country through which the line passes from London to York can be seen at the offices of the Company, 64, koorgate.street. Every explanation, also, will be afforded with retard to the traffic and other matters. The Parliamentary plans, &e., are in course of preparation, and application will be made for an Act of Incorporation in the ensuing Seseion of Parliament. Tb• deposit of 5 per cent., •r V. 10s. per share, Is necessary t• Meet the requirement of the Parliamentary standing orders, but the preliminary expenses will in no event exceed 10s. per share. luterest at the rate of 41. per cent per annum will be allowed on t calls made after the passing of the Act till the opening of the tttlway.

The object of this undertaking Is to connect the port of Fal mouth with the Naval Station at Plymouth, and by the South Devon and Bristol and Exeter Railways, with Bristol, where the great lines of railway communication with the Metropolis, and the North of England new meet, and thus to bring Falmouth, the most Westernly Port in the Channel, within eleven hours of London, and fourteen hours of Liverpool and Manchester. The works of the South Devon Railway from Exeter to Ply, mouth, being now In rapid progress, with a view to completion in two years, the time has arrived when it becomes essential to bring forward the plan for a western extension in conjunction with the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester, and South Devon ltailway Companies. The Provisional Committee having laid the plans and estimates of construction, and the traffic case in detail, before the Directors of these Companies, they have agreed to unite in contributing 350,0001. to the capital of this Railway. The Associated Companies having thus identified themselves with this undertaking, the Cornwall Railway Company will have the advantage, in its operations, of the advice and assistance of Members of their Boards, and the works will be carried on with the approbation, and under the supervision, of the experienced and talented officers of these Companies. A large proportion of the leading landed Proprietors in the County, have given assurances of support in Land and Money—a considerable local connexion has been formed, and a large number of Shares have been taken up, and no opposition or difficulty is anticipated in obtaining the Act. The necessary steps have therefore been taken to bring a Bill before Parliament in the next Session for constructing the Corn. wall Railway. From the surveys that have been made by Captain Moorsom, C.E., it appears that the line would pass through Torpoint, within three quarters of a mile of St. Germans, touching Liskeard, near to Bodmin and Lostwithiel, through Par, and St. Austell, by St. Stephens and Tresillian to Truro. Front Truro the course of the line would be towards Bissoe and Pollean Cross, to connect with the great Mining and Western districts of the County, and from thence by Ponsnooth and Penryn to Falmouth. The proposed line will pass through the richest and most densely peopled Mining, Commercial, and Agricultural districts of Cornwall. In the principal parts of these districts, the habits of the people are peculiarly locomotive. A large and constant passenger traffic already exists of a description which would be immensely increased by the facilities of Railway communication. The line will be connected on the north with the Wadebridge and Bodmin Railway, the Newquay Railway, and the Caradon Railway, and on the south the Par and Pentewan Railways, and the Looe and Liskeard Canal, from each of which a considerable amount of valuable traffic will be brought upon the Cornwall Rail. way, and the communication with the ports on the north and south coast greatly facilitated. The Eastern mining districts of Cornwall and Devon, around Callingtone Tavisteck, and Liskeard, are much connected with the central and western Mines of St. Anstell, Tywardreath, Gwen. nap, Itedruth, Camborne, and Penzance, and between these popu. lons and important districts a constant and increasing intercourse exists. . , BANKBRB.—Alebsrs.

The completion of the Railway from Penzance, which passing through the great western mining districts, will join the proposed line of the Cornwall Railway ...awe. Trutau and Palwouth, and for which a Bill is to be brought before Parliament next Session, will bring a great accession of traffic from those districts. The Cornwall Railway will not only be in itself Important and of great local advantage, but will in fact be the terminus of a metropolitan trunk line, and also the terminus of a line from the great manufacturing districts of the North, so that the carriage which leaves London in the Evening, will be at Falmouth in the Morning, after eleven hours' Journey, and the Passengers from Maochester or Liverpool, may arrive at Falmouth In fourteen hours. It will also be the westernly link of the great chain of coast lines now formed, or in progress, from Dover on the east, to Penzance in the west, and will thus eventually receive the traffic of these sources, flowing to and from our western possessions. The well-known advantages and capabilitiee of the Port of Fat. mouth and the opinions unequivocally expressed by the Commis sioners appointed by Government in 1840, to inquire into the com parative merits of the Porta then suggested by the Mail Packet Station, " That if a Railroad existed to the South-West Land's. end, and a harbour were constructed in that neighbourhood, where the mails might with facility be put on board and landed, they would unhesitatingly recommend that harbour to the adoption of Government," make it evident that the construction of the pro. posed Railway would render Falmouth the best Port in the kingdom for the embarkation and landing of the Mails for the West Indies, the Peninsula, the Mediterranean, and all our transatlantic pos. sessions.—That this Port will be largely used by passengers pro. seeding by these Packets, and also by passengers arriving from and departing for our Foreign Possessions in sailing vessels, is evident from the anxiety always felt by those who have endured a long sea voyage to reach the shore, and from the desire which most persona feel to avoid the delays and danger of the C h annel navigation. The reasons which now induce outward.bound Indiarnen to call at Cowes or Portsmouth to embark their passengers, will apply with greater force to a more Western Port, when a Railroad shall bring that Port within eleven hours of the Metropolis. The largely increasing number of vessels, which even under the present mode of travelling, call, whether for passengers or orders, at Falmouth, shows that expectations of traffic to a large extent, may be well founded on these grounds; but in the calculations now submitted, the Committee have confined themselves to the usual increase upon the existing trade, which is alone sufficient to show that this undertaking will prove a highly advantageous investment. The estimated expense of the line, including the cost of land, preliminary and Parliamentary expenses, stations, and working stock, does'. not exceed the sum of 900,0001. which Is to be ra i se d by 18,000 shares of 601. each.

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE TIMER PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Nigkt, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. I :ii:COURT OF SEWERS. A special meeting of the Court of Sewers for the City and Liberty of Westminster, and part of the county of Middlesex, was held yesterday at the office, Greek-street, Soho-square, T. L. Donaldson, Esq., in he Chair. The reports of Messrs. Allason, Harrison, and Cantwell, with the reports of the surveyors of the Court, having been read upon the subject of venti lating shafts and air gratings, on which the three first gentlemen recommended that ventilating shafts, ac cording to a form produced in Court, should be tried as an experiment along the centre of the roadway in Oxford-street ; while the surveyors' proposed Picca dilly or the Strand in preference, as the sewer was more in the centre of the street, the estimated ex pense being for each shaft 12s. 61—a trifling sum, the reports stated, if balanced with the immense ad vantage derived from an improved atmosphere in the operations of the servants of that Court. After some discussion, in which the Chairman, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Allason, Mr. Willoughby, and other Commissioners took part, it was determined to try thirty of them in different parts of the district, to test their usefulness. " 7 - eghby) seemed to feel very strongly on the subject of the report sent in by the surveyors. These ofiloars, he must remember, did not feel themselves authorised to make suggestions as to the propriety of introducing a new form of sewer until an lion. Commissioner ex hibited some sectims, when they were ordered by the Court to report upon the subject. They did not call in question the stability of the present form—they confirmed it—but they said that as there were cir• cumstances in which the perpendicular form might be disadvantageous, they therefore proposed that now before the Court, as combining all the excellencies of the old with the superiority of the new, and at the same time be applicable under every circumstance. It was the fashion now-a-days to have something empirical in every scheme. There was a royal road to knowledge now, and they had the universal medicine ; and now it was also that they had discovered that a curvilinear form of sewer was the best for all purposes. He himself would decidedly support the plan exhibited by the surveyors, and with respect to that proposed by Mr. Leslie, he dissented from it, because in most cases even a rise of water in the sewers to the height of three inches would throw it back into the houses. After some further observations the original motion and amendment were put from the Chair, when the latter was carried. The next business to consider was as to alterations in the forms of contracts under advice of counsel ; and substituting the following for Law N 0.103 : " That the mode adopted under the 103 d standing order of taking bonds from the contractors and the sureties be abandoned, and that in future articles of agreement under seal be entered into by the contractor with six of the Commissioners on behalf of the whole of the Commissioners, and that the terms of the tender be incorporated in such articles of agreement, and that a separate bond he taken from the contractor and his sureties for the performance of the articles of agree ment." The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the Court adjourned. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. THURSDAY.—The performances of this morning em braced the two first acts of the Creation, the Hymn of Praise by Mendelssohn, and a selection from Israel in Egypt. Two of these works are so welllknown, that criticism among their respective excellencies has long ceased to be necessary. They have taken their station among those productions of genius that the world agree to hold in admiration. The one is a display of grace. and the other of grandeur ; for Israel in Egypt unfolds in a higher degree than any other of his oratorios its author's essential characteristic. Chorus succeeds to chorus, descriptive of Egypt's successive plagues, while Handel scarcely stoops to interrupt his majestic march by the interposition of a song. Haydn mingles the most graceful melodies, in all their varied forms and combinations, with the splendour of his choruses, and adds the rich charm of his diversified accompaniment to the whole. He fascinates ; but Handel elevates the hearer's mind. Mendelssohn's Lobeyesang belongs rather to the modern than the old German school, and even those of his predecessors, is frequently discernible. This work has been heard in London, and the judgment of our metropolitan critics has been pronounced upon it. The singers this morning acquitted themselves with their accustomed ability, and the varied attraction of the morning drew a very numerous audience to the Cathedral. The CHAIRMAN then said that the next subject for their consideration were the forms and materials of sewers; and the clerk would read to the Court that part of Messrs. Allason, Harrison, and Cantwell's re port which bore upon them. The clerk read the report, as also that of Mr. John White, and the surveyors. Mr. JOHN WHITE then remarked at considerable length upon the surveyors' report, and contended that the plans and sections exhibited by them to the Court were his own, but greatly deteriorated. He had carefully examined their sections where differing from those he had laid upon the table, and he was still of opinion that the latter were, as regarded eco nomy of cost and durability of construction, superior to the forms at present in use, or those advocated by the surveyors. Mr. BALDWIN was sorry that the Hon. Commis sioner had remarked in such a strain upon the report sent in by their surveyors. He thought those officers ought to be perfectly independent in their opinions, at the same time that they exhibited every courtesy towards Hon. Commissioners. Mr. Wuiru had thought that the report had at tacked his professional character, but having been now assured that it was not so, he was perfectly satisfied. Mr. IlawKiNs, the assistant-surveyor, having al luded to several portions of Mr. White's speech, thought that that, gentleman was labouring under a misapprehension with respect to Mr. Dowley's and his (Mr. Hawkins's) views. Mr. BALDWIN thought that it would be better if that Court would refer the reports they had heard read, and the several sections accompanying them, to two or more eminent architects or surveyors, When the Court, having the opinion of these professional men to guide them, would the better be able to come to a conclusion upon the subject. The CHAIRMAN recommended that some Hon. Commissioner should lay a substantive motion upon the table. Mr. WHITE moved that the form of sewer to be afterwards used by that Court should be built after the forms submitted by himself. The motion was seconded by Mr. BALDWIN. Mr. KENDALL proposed, and Mr. GUTCH seconded an amendment, that the forms submitted by the sur veyors be those adopted. Mr. LESLIE was opposed to both. He did not think there was a very great difference between the form recommended by the surveyors and that of Mr. John White ; but he said again, he objected to both of them, because he thought the top of the sewer was placed where the bottom ought to be. He found, on examination, that the egg-shaped sewer was the best form for every purpose, and that its durability was equal, if not superior, to any other. It was singularly notorious that that Court had maintained the form of upright-sided sewer with great pertinacity, although it was generally admitted not to be nearly so strong as the curved side. Now, one of his objec tions to the plan propounded by Messrs. Harrison, Allason, and Cantwell, was that it was straight-sided. He had been at the trouble to copy an opinion by the celebrated Sir John Rennie upon the proper form and construction of a sewer, and he would read it to the Court. (The Hon. Commissioner then read the opinion given by Sir John Rennie, that the sewer ought to be made like a canal tunnel, the bottom an ' inverted arch, and the sides curved. He stated that good stone was the best material for its construction, but as its expense would exceed all reasonable bounds, and as well burned bricks, laid in mortar, would last for ages, he had no hesitation in saying they should be used.) Such was that most eminent man's opinion, but he (Mr. Leslie) supposed that all the Commis sioners present had looked at it, for it had been in that office for forty years, although it had never been acted upon. He would now offer his opinion why he thought the plan adopted in the Holborn and Fins bury district still better than that of Sir J. Rennie, or the others then before them. The egg-form ap peared to him like a wedge, which would slip, if he might say so, into the earth, thereby requiring less cutting, and of course less expense than at present. There was another thing to which he would like to call their attention, although perhaps at the expense of a laugh at himself. Ile thought that something in the form of pitch would be a capital protection for their inverts. He thought it could be done at little cost, and give great security. He was decidedly op posed to stone, on account of the expense and price of labour. There were many miles of Holborn and Finsbury done in this form, and evidence had been given before the house of Commons' Commission to show that it was most durable in construction. He objected to put in the bricks in blocks . ; he would wish them put in, as in the tunnel, cemented in single bricks. Ile would not detain them longer, but he would strongly impress upon the Court, at this time, the necessity of getting a permanent form of sewer at as cheap a rate at possible.—(Hear, hear.) He acknowledged that the forms proposed now were a great improvement upon that at present in use, but he wished the Court to try the form adopted by the Holborn and Finsbury division. Mr. WHITE would mention one circumstance that had come under his own observation. He found that many of the stones of Old London-bridge were ac tually coated with pitch. Mr. WILLOUGHBY said that while there existed so many opinions upon the proper forms of sewers, they ought, before deciding, to be very sure that they had got the proper form. There could be no one more ready to remedy any evil than he was, and if the evil were universal, he would be most happy to receive the universal remedy for it. But here a discussion had its first origin in the failure of the sewerage in the Harrow-road, and some other places —an evil which might be accounted for by the shifting of earth, or half a dozen other causes. Engineers, practical men, were not decided upon any one form of sewer, for the form that might be perfectly applicable to one locality would be quite unsuited for another. —(Hear, hear.) The present form in use had been found of very general application, and if peculiar cir cumstances, or a peculiar locality, called for another construction of sewer, he had no objection that such sewer should be constructed under such circum stances or in such locality. There were other things; there were economy to be considered in this matter. They had to consider what was of much higher im portance—a system of permanent sewerage. He thought that economy, within reasonable limits, was the very last consideration. But why, he would ask, if the present form were bad, did their surveyors permit them to remain so long in error? Why were forty years allowed to expire ere this improved system was brought before their notice. They had miles on miles of sewerage of a perpendicular form, and it had already lasted, and would, he felt sure, exist for series of years, and that was a fact of greater conse quence and of greater weight than any mere theo retical opinion—even of Sir John Rennie or any equally eminent man. Let them really be certain that the form they adopted would be better before they dispensed with what they had found to be good. ___(lrear, hear.) He thought that by acting on the spur of the moment, the Court was acting rashl y an d intemperately.—(Hear, hear.) His own opinion was, and he was borne out by many eminent men, that the perpendicular form of sewer was l ess liable to accident, and easier of construction, than the cir cular sides. The evening's concert comprised more pieces of ac knowledged and sterling excellence than either of the preceding ones. It commenced with the Sinfonia Pas torale of Beethoven, which probably was thought by many of its auditors somewhat long ; at least so it ap peared. But we ought not to marvel that a country au dience fail to discern and appreciate the design and the beauties of a composition which even the Philharmonic band discovered and displayed only after repeated trials. Madame Caradori Allan sang, and Williams accom panied, Parto, ma to bee mio admirably ; and Manvers displayed power, execution, and good taste in II mio tesoro. 11 pretty duet by Gabussi exhibited the neat execution and happy combination of voices which the Misses Williams have attained. Miss Barrett's " Should he upbraid" was very successful, perhaps not the less so that she is a native of Gloucester. The concert (the last of the present festival) concluded with " God save the Queen." The room was well at tended, and it is hoped that the present meeting will prove sufficiently successful to insure its continuance at the usual interval. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

Mr. BALDWIN said that any ono at all acquainted with mathematics must be aware that lateral pressure could be best resisted by a circular-formed sewer. He thought it was no reason why they should not make an experiment of any proposed form because a system had existed for forty or fifty years, and had been found to do well, simply because no better had been attempted. If the Court allowed him, he would throw out a suggest i on t h at woo d, hardened uvail Payne's principle, might be tried instead of brick or stone for the bottoms of sewers. He had tried it on some property of his in Ireland, and found it to answer all purposes of drainage better than bricks. k The CLLAIR*4Ii said that his friend OIL BY the SPECIAL AUTHORISATION of the ALISTRIAX GOVERN3IIt.NT, and ueder the Dlreetiee of the Imperial Authorities, irrevocably en the 12th of October, 1844, will take place, The SALE, by SHARES, of ESTATES, STOCKS, and BONDS, besides the CASINO at BADEN, witk the GRAND HOTEL a la VILLE de VIENNE, estimated at ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED TIIOUMAND FRANCS, The pleasant country seat of Adolplisholie, near yearns, with two castles, grounds, gardens, &c.

Yesterday Mr. William Baker, deputy coroner for the eastern division of the county of Middlesex, resumed and concluded the inquiry touching the death of Jane Gregory, aged 27, whose death, it was alleged, had been occasioned by the administration of some poison by a young man, named Alfred Edwards, now in custody on the charge. The inquest was adjourned on Monday last for the purpose of the contents of the bottle, as well as the fluid found in the stomach of deceased upon the post mortem examination, being analysed by Dr. Leeson, of St. Thomas's Hospital. On the reassembling of the jury yesterday, Dr. henry Beaumont Leeson was sworn.—lle deposed that he is assistant physician and lecturer on chemistry and forensic medicine at St. Thomas's Hospital. He had examined the contents of the stomach, but found no poison therein. The stomach itself witnees had boiled in distilled water, and then filtered. He then added a solution of sulphurretted hydrogen gas. He again boded it, and obtained a black precipitate, which by reduction with the blowpipe and charcoal yielded a globule of metallic lead, which he produced to the court and jury. Witness thought that, if any prepa ration of lead had been swallowed, it must have been vomited out of the body, except that portion produced. The solution obtained from the stomach also indicated the presence of prussic acid, probably arising from bitter almonds having been made use of in flavouring the so-called brandy bitters. There was trace also of prussic acid in the contents of the stomach. The liquid in the bottles submitted to him by Mr. Smith, the surgeon, neither of them contained sugar of lead or any preparation of lead, but both contained a very large pro portion of spirit, being above one-half absolute alcohol. They appeared to be coloured with saffron, and flavoured very strongly with bitter almonds, as well as other ve getable extracts, which rendered the application of che mical tests almost impossible. The inference he drew from the examination was that he thought it improbable that so large a portion of the load should have been found combined with, and adhering to, the stomach itself, unless a quantity of some preparation of lead had been swallowed, and could only attribute the not being able to detect any satisfactory trace of lead in the stomach from its having been removed by vomiting or purging. If sugar of lead had been added to the liquid in the bot tle, there would have been no difficulty in detecting it. If administered, it must have been mixed in the cup at the time it was given to deceased, or given to deceased separately. The appearance of the stomach was similar to that produced by any irritant poison. The brandy and bitters itself, containing so large a portion of alcohol and the essential oil of almond being very deleterious, would, if taken in sufficiently large quantities, produce serious illness, and even death. The presence of the lead detected in the stomach appeared to be a most re markable indication of poison having been purposely ad ministered. Mr. Smith, surgeon, who had made the post mortem examination of the body, re-examined—ln his opinion death was occasioned by inflammation of the stomach, caused by the introduction of deadly poison. Four drachms of sugar of lead would be sufficient to de stroy life. On the part of the accused, it was shown by the evi dence of three witnesses that they had drank a portion of brandy bitters, similar to that which had been given to the deceased, without its having any injurious effects ; but one of them admitted that he and another had been very ill subsequently, but attributed it to having drank an immoderate quantity. A sister of deceased accounted for the sugar of lead being in her possession, by stating that she wanted to set the colour of a dress which she had been washing, and that the accused had procured it for her. The Coroner summed up the evidence in a clear manner, commenting upon those parts which bore more immediately upon the question, and explained the law as applicable to the case. The jury retired at six o'clock, and after a consultation of Ready three hours' duration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Alfred Edwards." STATE OF TRADE AT LIVERPOOL.—The general as pect of commercial affairs is unchanged ; there is a re gular demand for produce of all descriptions, and, witk few exceptions, prices continue yielding to superabundant supplies. There never was a time when the range of quotations for the leading articles of commerce would bear comparison with the low rates now current. We have seen years when particular trades have suffered great depression, and prices of some articles have in consequence declined ; but now, with the capi tal of the country of less value in the market than we have ever known it, and money so plentiful that the difficulty is to find investment for it—with a manu facturing trade thriving in every direction, and the working classes of all descriptions better employed than they have been for some years —it is indeed remarkable that merchants should find themselves compelled to do business on the unsatisfactory terms that almost all are suffering by, in somuch that the losses on the import trade of the last six months would far exceed the profits of the entire year. The present is a state of things that well demands attention in high quarters ; and more than ever now should the argument be brought forward, that low duties will stimulate consumption, that the increased imports will thereby be taken off, and the revenue of tho country need not suffer.—Liverpool Mercury. lIUNGERPORD SUSPENSION-BRIDGE AND ITS RAIL WAYS.—The works at the above bridge are nearly at a stand still, owing to the intention of the Directors to apply at the next meeting of Parliament for a Bill to allow them to throw a railway across the Thames ad joining the suspension-bridge, and to erect railways to Richmond, the terminus of the South-Western and Brighton and Dover Railways. For some days past surveyors have been employed in measuring the ground from Goding's Brewery to London-bridge, taking the proposed line through Ann-ztreet, Waterloo-road, across the latter road, at the rear of the south side of Stamford street, across the Blackfriars-road, through Church street, across Green-walk. Holland-street, Southwark bridge-road, at the rear of Barclay's brewery, to St. Saviour's-churchyard, where it will join the Brighton and Dever railways.

AQRICULTURAL COLLEGE.—The College about to be opened at Leopardstown,:near Dublin, is situated on the south of the city, and five miles distant from the Post office. The farm consists of 200 Irish acres of land of medium quality. The terms for pupils in the Agricul tural School will be 151. per annum, for which they will receive a suitable education : they will be engaged one half of each day at farm work, under the superintendence of the best practical and scientific Agriculturist that can be obtained, and during the other half in the school over which a teacher of like ability will preside. It is pro posed also as soon as pupils shall be obtained, to connect with the Agricultural College a school for the education of the sons of the gentry in classics, and all the branches usually taught in first-rate schools, for which there is ample accommodation.—Southern Reporter. TIIE FOGS ON TIIE RlVER.—During the last two days London has been visited by fogs thicker and darker than we usually find them at this early period of autumn. Some accidents have, in consequence, occurred to the steam-boats on the river, which occasioned much annoy ance and considerable alarm among the passengers. On e of the boats belonging to the Diamond Company, th e Gem, was run into on Wednesday morning, by the Waterman, No. 4. Her larboard paddle-box was carried away, and the wheel so damaged that she was unable to proceed on her voyage. There were nearly 300 persons on board, and it was most providential that no one chanced to be in the cabins or closets attached to the paddle-box at the moment of the accident. The vessel was obliged to bring up alongside the Tender, off th e Tower, where she remained until the next boat belong ing to the same company, the Ruby, came up, which took on her passengers. At the time of this occurrence the t s Gem was ping down at the rate aboutofu i t nautical n pe v e e d n o o r ts gentle- mostan man huu in r the the l rf o a rt e m r emran, boat,in e m o i n p g i n u i o p n o t f a certainly at a rate unsafe, considering the state of the atmosphere. The Ruby had scarcely p rocee d e d a mile and a half, when she met the Topaz, another vessel be longing to the same company, which had sufThred from a w precisely similar accid ent. She had also lost her tar board paddle-box, but her heel not having suffered much damage she was able to reach her destination. She afterwards returned to Gravesend, and came back with out any repairs having been effected, to the great alarm and indignation of many of the passengers, who, as the captain was careful to keep the larboard side of his vessel off the shore, knew nothing of her condition until they were booked on board. TIIE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, " ARTHUR ARUNDEL," BY TILE AUTHOR OF "BBAMBLETYE HOUSE." —" If the author of these volumes," observes the Globe, " were not already known, and his literary reputation established in public favour, as the legitimate result of repeated success, this tale of the English Revolution would at onoe place him high above all danger of beine to fortune and to lame unknown.' Even with th e ; triumphs of former works, throwing a halo around his name, and producing an anticipation in the reader's mind of powerful interest in the perusal of Horace Smith's new work,' there is no sense of disappointment. The interest is kept up from the first page of the £rst volume to the concluding paragraph of the last. When the time-beguiling process of perusal is completed, the act of recalling the well-wrought. up incidents and the finely., portrayed characters of the narrative, opens up fresh fountains of delight, and impresses the mind with what has been as gratifying to the taste, as it was interesting to the feelings of the reader during the perusal."
