cheers.) No grosser falsehood could be published. There is no such thing as a writ out against me—(Cheers)—there never has been one, and if those persons who have the dis position to slander would have the courage to comp forward and avow these reports here, I should know how to deal with them. I stand here, as I have done before, claiming your support as a city servant faithful in the discharge of my duties, and firm in the execution of them. I stand hree as anxious] to extend the rights of my fellow-citizens as I an to preserve my own.—(Great cheering.) The COXKON SERGEANT then again came to the front of the platform, and the name of the Aldermen who had not Weedthe chair were proposed seriatim to the Livery. egreatest acclamation followed the announcement. of Mr. Alderman Wood's name, nor was the cheering much lessened when Mr. Alderman John Johnson was mentioned. Scarcely any hands were held up for the remaining Alder men, Sir George Cairo% Sir'James Duke, or Messrs. Hooper, Farncomb, Hunter, Musgrove, Sidney, and Moon. The Common SERGEANT announced that the choice of the Livery had fhllen on Messrs. Aldermen Wood and Johnson. The Lord Mayor, with the civic body, then retired. After an absence of about half an hour, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs returned to the Hall, when The Common SERGEANT announced that the choice of the Court of Aldermen had fallen upon Alderman Johnson.— (Cheers and hisses.) The LORD DILATOR Elect then came forward amid a storm of cheers and hisses. He was understood to say that he thanked them sincerely for the honour they had done him, and that it would be his duty to advance those objects which would tend to the good of their city. He trusted to meet them at the end of the year, and to receive congratulations as sincere as those which greeted him that day. He again cordially thanked them for the honour they had done him. Mr. Alderman Woon, who was received with tumultuous cheering, said—Gentlemen of the Livery, although defeated for the time, and deprived of my just rights and expectations, be assured of this, that I feel the utmost gratitude to you for your honest and earnest efforts to secure my election. I have never witnessed a more respectable hall, or a more intelligent or • distinguished Livery in the course of my life, and consider ' ing the support that you have given me, it is not the least of my disappointments that your expectations have not been realised.—(Cheers.) It is not for me to divine the reason which operated for my rejection—it is only for me to deal with the facts as 1 find them. I came among you as a magistrate, and, having fulfilled the duties of a magistrate correctly, I was returned for the honourable office of sheriff. I did not come among you as a rich man, making a boast of my riches as a more substantial qualification for the performance of the duties of that office. You have seen me performing the various duties of the Livery, and I can appeal • with confidence to the mannerinwhich those duties have been -discharged Alas a man making no pretensions to extraordinary .trealth I was surprised to find that that was one of tha causes of my rejection. I am not, forsooth, rich enough eto sustain the office with dignity.—(Cheers, cries of Shame," and hisses.) If you look to this test you will pflnd that you exclude men of honour, men of probity, and men every way fitted for the high office. But,'apart from this consideration, it is alleged against me that I was unfortunate enough some five years ago to enter into a speculation which turned out bad. Is there no speculation now ?—(Tremendous .ebeering.) Why speculation is the order of the ilay.—( Cheers.) Who can take up an ordinary newspaper, without seeing the names of the magistracy of the City, attached to schemes whidh every one knows cannot be realised, and which are only for the purpose of telling Scrip, those respectable names acting as a decoy.— (Loud cheers and hisses.) If this is to be the rule which is to deprive men of this high office, am quite content. I have received my punishment, and I shall watch with attention, and giVe my sympathy to those <Who shall be similarly dealt with.—(Cheers.) The Ivorthy klderman again thanked the Livery, and assured them that, through good and bad report, he should still chum their sup 'port and syinpathy.—(Cheers.) Mr. Deputy ALLEN proposed, and Mr. HOPPER seconded, it vote of thanks to the late sheriffs, which, having been car tied, Mr. Alderman Hunter and Mr. Alderman Sidney returned thanks. The Hall was then dissolved. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Christopher Erans, a young man shabbily dressed, was diarged with feloniously entering the dwelling-horse of Mr. William Moore, the landlord of the Prince of Wales public house, in Norton-street, Marylebone, and Waling a new suit of clothes. — . . . . Sarah Poison, servant to the prosecutor, stated that aboul half-past nine o'cbck on Saturday night last. she heard the f6otsteps of some person in the back moat on the first floor, fin , l on going up-stairs met a mAn, whgliiia the suit of &Alio , on 111.1 arm, coining down. Pushing her violently on one I , ide, he threw down the clothes anfrraa out of the house. A cry of" stop thief" w.is raised, and in a short time the pi:l.w= was brought back . in custody. 'William liobsoiV, cf No. 2, Little'Albany-street, Regent'. Park, stated that he s.iw the prisoner running in.Portland road, iblb.wed by several persons calling '• stop thief." Wit ness secured him and gave him into the charge of the police. The prix ,ner said he was innocent of the charge alleged against hini; he was never in the prosecutor's Louse in hie Hearin the cry of " stop tidef in Portland-road, and seeing several persons running he ran with them until he wa4 taken into custody. - He knew nothing whatever of the suit of clothe.. Mr. HARDIVICK ordered the prisoner to be remanded further examination. • CLERK' NWE D AY.I Mary Harris, a fine-looking country girl, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Combs. charged with wing drunk and inenpable of taking care of herself. It appeared from the evidence of a constable of the G divi sion that, on Saturday evening lase, at seven o'clock, he found the prisoner in Goswell-street, quite drunk, holding on to some railings, and surrounded by a crowd of persons. He took her to the station-house, and she was so exceedingly bad, that a doctor was called in to attend upon her; on recovering her senses, she asked for her umbrella and purse, which she missed. On being questioned she raid her father was a farmer iv/Abe country. She came to town in an omnibus in which shb met a lady and gentleman who were very kind to her, and ou getting out of the vehicle they to ik her to a public. house, where they made her drunk and left her, after robbing hei of her property. She refused to tell where her father lived, was much affected, and threatened' to bernmit suicide if they informed her father of what had happened. Mr. ComuE ordered that s h e s h ou ld b e d e t a i ne d until she could be assisted home to her friends. TUB LEG OF A CAPTAIN TORN OFP.—On Satur• day Capt. Owen Williams, of the Alfleida schooner, from Glasgow, engaged with a steamer to tow his vessel up to Runcorn. A hawser was passed to the steamer for that pur pose, and on the word being given to go a-head, it was found that by some means the captain's leg had become entangled in the hawser, and he could not be rescued until his foot was liteirally torn off above the ancle. He was immediately taken ashore in great agony, and conveyed to thedispensary, where, about two hours after, he waslbrought up,:and the stump am putated about the middle of the calf. We are happy to hear thist the unfortunate patient is pronounced out of danger.— Ch aster Chronicle. FORT or BEISTOL.—A Committee of the Bristol Town Council has been appointed to negotiate with the Dock Ccinpany for the purchase of the dock property, with the viiryr of improving the trade of the port by a reduction of the exorbitant dues which have for a long period been crippling thettrade of the port._ ti, YTnit.--on , Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock, the body of a man, name unknown, was seen floating in ale water nearly opposite Fort: Siitheiland by a preventive mail on duty, who having procured assistance, had the body speidily brought ashore. No time was lost in giving infor mation to the coroner, who finding that decomposition was fast ' advancing, immediately summoned a jury, which, after Viewing the body; and hearing all the evidence that could be obtained, returned a verdict of " Found drowned." The body was given up to the parish authorities for interment. It is qought probable that the deceased was one of those un fortpnate persons who lost their lives in the late wreck in the neighbourhood of Rye. Of course this is mere conjecture.— Dover Chronicle. We understand that a company is in formation for the refining of sugar in this port, and that the necessary steps have been taken for registering it.—Hull Advertiser.

CURIOUS DOCVMENT.—A few days ago a curious document was discovered by the clerk of Crosthvraite Church, Keswick, whilst employed in searching °tie of the old register books. The interesting document abeve alluded to contained the appointment of Perciial Radcliffe, clerk, by Oliver Crom well, to be the incumbent of the parish of Crosthwaite. This record bears date the 2d of November, 1652, and is conse quently 193 years old. — Carlisle Journal. On Sunday, a boy-preacher, from Belfast, held forth in the Market-square, South Shields. After each dis course, the father of the boy, assisted by the town-crier and others, went round with hats, and took a c,ollectien (as stated by them) for his education.—Newcastle Chronicle. " GENTLEMEN OF THE 8911. 99 —At a meeting of attorneys and solicitors, which took place a few days ago in Dublin, a resolution to the following effect was unanimously agreed to :—" That some members of the bar were in the habit of taking instructions, attending the local courts, police offices, and prisoners in the gaols, without the intervention of an attorney, contrary to the usage of the bar, and to the infringement of the rights of attorneys, and that henceforth those present at the meeting would not act professionally with any member of the bar who should continue to conduct himself in such a manner." it was mentioned at the meeting in the course of the proceedings, that members of the bar had been known to take even a shilling from a person in the dock. WINDOW CLEANINfI.—A dreadful accident hap fled on Saturday evening, at the house of the Hon. Mrs. NeWenham Collingwood, 30, York-place, Portman-square, to Richard Alphich, a bailiff at that lady's country seat. who had come to LOntluu for a. Caw days. lr app XS that, in the absence of Mrs. Collingwood, Alphich was assisting some of the 'other servants in cleaning the upper windows of the house, and while standing on the silt his foot slipped, and he fell into the area beneath, a height of nearly thirty feet. Assistance was rendered as soon as possible, and upon his removal to the hospital, it was discovered that he was suf fering from a very severe fracture of the hip, besides other injuries on different parts of the body. Every means that surgical skill cotita suggest was adopted, but he lies in a very precarious state. DEATH OF SIR JOHN MORDAUNT, BART., M.P.— This . much-respected Baronet died on Saturday, at Walton House, Warwickshire, in the 37th year of his age. Our readers are aware,that he lately had the misfortune to shatter his hand while sfiooting. His constitution, though robust, 'as unable to withstand the shock of the system, and he gra dn.Ally rank und er i ts e ff ects, and died.as .stated. The Hon.

EXPOUTATION or BRICKS.--A vessel .which left the India Docks a day or two since—the Persian, - ytv believe, for Ceylon—took out with her, as ballast, upwards of one million bricks, for the purpose of erecting a coffee mill in Otat place, the buildings there being made principally of wood.' Con sidering the enormous ma sea of buildings at present in of erection in the metropolis and suburbs, it is remarkable how so large a number of bricks can conveniently be spared for extraneous parpoies. We are now able to assure Earl Spencer's friends that be is doing well. Mr. Keate, who was sent for to attend his Lordship, has returned to London, having left his patient out of dander,.. SUPPLEMENT TO THE EVENING SUN, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1845. AMERICAN NENVS, HOSTILITIES on the RIVER PLATE . SEIZURE OF THE BUENOS AYREAN SQUADRON. The Caledonian steamer, Captain Lott, arrived in the Mersey on Sunday at noon, bearing the usual mails and about fifty passengers. She left Boston on the 16th instant, and Halifax on the 18th, and has, therefore, made the whole voyage in 11i days, deducting her stay at Halifax. - The intelligence she brings is important. The United States ship St. Louis; from Rio Janeiro, had arrived in Hampton Roads with advices from Buenos Ayres to the 26th of July. That vessel left the Plata on the 12th of August, and it appears that the day before her departure advices had reached Rio of the attempted intervention on the part of England and France, in the affairs of the . River Plate. It was said that on the rejection of General Rosas, of the ultimatum sent in, the English and French Ministers would retire to Monte Video. In the meantime the naval forces of the " allied" Powers had taken possession of the Buenos Ayrean squadron off Monte Video, and General Oribe, commanding the besieging army of General Roses, had received notice to retire from the Banda Oriental. Great excitement prevailed in Buenos Ayres, and it was supposed England and France would be brought into open collision with the Argentine Republic• During the negotiations at Buenos Apes, the American Chargé, Mr. Brent, had offered his mediation. The offer was accepted by General Roses, but declined by the English and French Ministers, on the ground that the Chargé was not instructed or authorised by his Government. The frigate Brandywine, Commander Parker, would remain at Rio a few days in consequence of the illness of Mr. Everett, our Minister to China, who had not de cided whether to proceed in the Columbus, or return to the - United States in the Brandywine. The disease with which Mr. Everett was afflicted, though of a painful and distressing character, was not considered dangerous. The disturbances excited by the Anti-Renters in New York had considerably subsided, the State authorities had taken vigorous steps against the offenders captured and lodged in prison, about one hundred and fifty of the most active, and against nearly all of whom true bills had been found. The Court-house of Hudson, state of New York, where the trial of the Anti-Renters was pro.. ceeding, was the scene of an unseemly outrage between the Attorney-General of the State, John Van Buren, Esq., sou of the late president, and Mr. A. Jordan, who indulged in a pugilistic contest in open Court, which was carried on with great spirit amid great Confusion, the judge calling loudly for order; after some time the Allen& succeeded in separating the combatants, who were then placed at the bar (one of them, observe, being the Attorney-General of the State), and committed to prison for twenty-four hours for contempt of Court. '1 here is no account of any hostilities having taken place at "the seat of war," as Texas is termed in the United States papers ; the rumours of large Mexican rmies marching towards that country appear to be pure fiction, whilst the emptiness of the Mexican trea iury, and the impossibility of getting a loan are realities, 'jot to be overcome in an occasion where the feelings if the people are little in unison with the wishes of their ;tilers. The American forces in Texas have been suf eered to concentrate and establish their position, undis turbed by any attack at Corpuz. Christi, described as ore )f the healthiest and most beautiful spots . in the world. General Herrera has been elected President of MexiFo, and'a nevi! Cabinet formed. The loan of fifteen nillions of dollars, which the Congress had voted, teemed not likely to be realised, so low was the rate of interest. Yucatan had` refused to. join in any demonstration against the United States ; and it is now added that Lhe peopL! of Tebaseo had declared themselves indepen irnt, and taken as their motto, " Liberty to Texas." The advices from Montreal, which reach to the 12th nst., are unimportant. Tli . e . Provincial Parliament ha I Jeer': further prorogued.. to the 14th of October.

There is every prospect of a continuance of the present demand for some time to come. , The. improved condition, of the working classes (in consequence of the low. price of food) has induced an increased consumption of the better styles of womens'- blacks and other goods, so that there is a far lees demand for straight down hose and inferior styles, and a far greater de mand for country, wrought hose. .This is an interesting evi dence of the improved condition of the working-cfasses.— Leicestershire Mercury. LEWES, SEPT. 25.—An alarm was occasioned in the town last night • (Wednesday), about eight o'clock, lir the servant of the Hon. General.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. 9Jd Drury opened en Saturday, and if - the - state of affairs on the opening night may be taken-as an omen, the ensuing season will be distinkuished by the same untiring enterprise on the part of the management, and by the same liberal pa tronage, on the part of the 'public, which have been - the pe culiar characteristics of the` last' two seasons. The per formances were Balfe's last new opera The Enchantress, and a new ballet, in three acts, entitled The Marble Maiden, the joint production o f MM. St. George and Albert, the music being composed by Adolphe Adam, the prince of ballet com posers, expressly for this theatre. The cast of the opera was the same as last season, except that on the present occasion Miss Romer appeared for the first time as Stella. It was a bold' attempt on the part of Miss Romer to appear in this, the character par excellence, of Anna Thillon, but the result pitted that she had not miscalculated her strength. Her conception of the character is perfectly different from that of Thillon. Welled none of that espieglerie which is the pecu liar and delightful characteristic of Thillon in this character, but instead we had mere intensity of feeling. The Stella of Thillon is a girl who revels and delights . in the mystery and romance—aye,• somewhat mischievous romance, too, with which she invests 'the character—she is a creature of the light and the sunshine, who loves Don Paul from pure gaits de cczur. The Stella of Miss Romer, on the contrary, is a creature of the affections, an ardent and im passioned being, who loves intensely, and will sacrifice everything, even life and love itself, to the interests of the adored object of her affections. Such was the view Miss Romer took of the character of Stella, and beaptifully did she carry it eut. She was in excellent voice, and sang the music deliciously. The exquisite song of " Woman's love" was de servedly honoured with a double encore, and her scene in the last act, where the senators are waiting to be' assured that Don Paul is the rightful heir to the throne, was a perfect tri umph. Never have we heard anything more brilliant thati her fioriture in this scena. She was called for at the conclu sion of the opera, and received with the enthusiastic ap plause of one of the most crowded houses ever assembledwithin the walls of old Drury. This well deserved tribute to the ' talents of this admirable artiste, must have been the more gratifying to her, because she could not bat be sensible thatit had been fairly earned.' The new ballet of the Marble Maiden is the most poetical and fanciful, and, at the same time, the most gorgeous and splendid ballet,4hat has been produced for a long time. It is really deserving the title given to it in the bills of a Ballet Fantastique. It is a new version of . the old story of Pygmalion and the statue. The scene is laid at Florence, during the palmy days of art, when Lorenzo the Magnificent reigned supreme. The first scene is laid in the studio of Massachio (M. Albert), the sculptor. His students are at work ••• on various statues, and young girls are standing. around in every variety of attitude and costume as studies. The hour of relaxation arrives, the groups break up, and the students and the girls, at the suggestion of Ascunio (Mademoiselle Louise), indulge in a dance. Ascunio intimates to them that the chef d'ceuvre of Massachio, a statue of Hebe, is co ncea l e d i n an inner apartment. assaehio is heard approaching; all con ceal theinielve.s behind various statues—Massachio enters— throws open the curtains at the end of the room, and dis covers • the - heautiful statue of Hebe ; the students advance and surprise him with cries of bravo ! Enraged, he dismisses them forthfrom his studio. At that moment the Duke of Floret - ice (M. Pichler) and his nephew, Prince Cosmo (M. Petipa), with their attendants, enter the studio, and Ascunio mischievously discovers to them this statue of Hebe. The Prince, delighted, offers an immense sum for this chef d'oeuvre; but all his overtures are indignantly rejected by the maestro. The princes quit the studio, followed by the students; and Massachio, contemplating his statue, becomes se enamoured of-it,- that he prostrates himself at the feet of the figure of the Genius of Etil, demanding that his statue may become animated. Slowly the Evil Genius unfolds a scroll, on which is' written, in characters of fire, " The statue shall be animated by day for thy destruction." Horrified at the prediction, he casts:himself in an attitude of humility and supplication at the feet of the image of the Angel of Good, whose hand unrolls a scroll, with the words, " The statue shall be marble by night, for thy safety." Gradually the Hebe (Mdlle.• Adele Dumilatre) thaws, as it were, into life. The slightest possible tremor indicates the first glow of animation, until, at length; life through all its being—perception and sense are awakened—and the statue descends from its pedestal a 'beautiful' living girl. Exquisitely, delicately, artistically, was this gradual animation of the statue-Lthis wakening of theanarble into life—given by Mdlle. Dumilatre. It was true poetry, and poetry of the very highest order— it was, indeed, to use the words of the programme of the ballet, the creation of beauty—beautifully, too, did she ex hibit the actiodof the senses without experience in endea vouring lo grasp at distant objects. Fascinated by the smell of flowers, she seizes a vase filled with roses—she is de• lighted—drawn off by some other object, she lets the vase fall from her hands—it breaks—she is lost in astonishment-- she kicks it—a thorn hurts her foot, and she flies back with alarm—Massachio approaches her—she shrinks from him— he holds out to her a mirror—delighted at the reflection of her own charms, she follows the mirror wherever it leads her, and this is made the occasion of introducing a most original and poetical pas de deux, which was exquisitely given by Adele Dumilatre and Albert. She, however, flies from the pursuit of Massachio to her old niche, which she had occupied as a statue. Persons are heard approaching; he draws the curtains to hide her from the gaze of the strangers. The evening sets in, and Hebe is again a statue. Prince' Cosmo' determines to have possession of this chef d'oeuvre, and he enters, accompanied by his friends, and they bear off the statue id triumph to the Pitti Palace. _ A grind fete in honour 6f the opening of the Pitti Palace gives occasion .for the exhibition of maeaficent scenery, beautiful da nc i ng , and grind spectacle, an d in the mici t st of this gorgeous display the statue is carried into the palace, and this con cludes the first act. The second act opens in the palace. It is the day fixed for the-nuptials of Prince Cosmo with the Princess Beatrice (gadeMoiselle Adele). Massachio enters, and demands justice against the Prince who has 'stolen his statue. The place in which the statue was concealed is pointed out." - The curtain is withdrawn, but the niche is un occupied. Massachio, not daring to discover the cause 'of this disappearance, apologises, and -leaves the palace. The Prince gazes with astonishment at the drapery, and beholds the animated!Hebe looking with astonishment and wonder at the scene, before- her. The Princess- Beatrice approaches with her attendants, who retire to an adjoining boudoir to dress. forthe marriage. Hebe sees them and imitates all their actions, and the scene closes with a wild and fantastic pas seul by Hebe, whi c h was g i ven w i t h a true feeling of poetry by Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre, and rapturously applauded. The next scene is in the gardens of the palace, to which Hebe has fled. Massachio has pursued her thither. His evil genius has given him three roses—the first, given by him to Hebe, confers on her reason; the second, grace; the third, love. She avoids him. He presents her with the first rose. The wild, untameable, timid, fantastic creature at once changes her whole being. She is endowed with reason ; she recognises in Massachio her creator, and obeys him. A fete takes place in honour of the nuptials ; of the Princess ; • there is a dance ; Hebe strives to imitate the actions of the dancers, but she is awkward and fails. Mas sachio presents her witlf the second rose; she instantly be comes endowed with grace, and joins in the dance, surpassing all her compeers ; still she is insensible to love. Massachio gives her the third rose ; and she loves, but not Massachio ; she throws herself into the arms of Cosmo, and Massachio is maddened at the discovery. Her reason, however, tells her she must obey Massachio ; she follows him unresistingly ; night approaches, and she again becomes marble. This closes the second act, and the gradual freezing of life into stone, until the joyous, animated, girl petrifies into the statue on its pedestal was given with as exquisite grace, and as high poetical feeling as the scene of the animation in the first act. The third act is laid at Massachio's Villa, on the Banks of the Arno, whither he has conveyed hit treasured Hebe • -cksmo introduces himself disguised as a St u d en t ; w i ne is introduced, which has been purposely drugged, and while Massachio is suffering from its effects, Cosmo endeavours to run off with the now animated Hebe. Ascunio, who is willing to assist in carrying off a , statue, will not aid in the abduction of a young and beautiful girl; he awakes Massachio, who pursues the fugitives. Meanwhile the Prince has become so enamoured of liebe that he refuses to wed the Princess. The Duke is enraged, and insists on his performing his promise; and Hebe implores her lover to wed the Princess, and joins their hands. Here is introduced a pas de trois by M. Petipa, - Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre, and Mademoiselle Adele, which is a perfect wonder of chorn graphic-art. In one portion of this pas Adele Dumilatie, supported by Petipa, makes a series of demi-voltes clean over over the head of Mademoiselle Adele. The audience were enthusiastic in their applause at this ' as tenishing• tour de force. The fete proceeds, and the pas de.suirlandes, by Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre and twenty-four ladies of the corps, de ballet is introduced. This pas is most graceful, , and,displays some exquisitely picturesque grouping. Night approaches; - Het% sinks on a couch, fainting, the Prince throws himself at her feet in despair, the sun has set, and Hebe is again marble, Masa chio, ina paroxysm of rage, rushes up to the statue, and: at one blow, shivers it in pieces, , The back of the scene opens, and the Angel of Good is seen wafting the spirit of the de stroyed Hebe to the skies. • The music - is - very characteristic; and the scenery andspectacle gorgeous in the extreme. 'lt is the most magnificent ballet that Mr. Bunn has yet proddeed, and 'will not only have along run during the present season, but become a permanent faveurite, for it is not merely a magni ficent spectacle; but a beautiful' poem. • Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre, who had been called before the curtain during the course of the performance, was again called for at the con clusion, and received with enthusiastic plaudits ; as were MM. Albert and Petipa, a n d M a d e moiselles uise and Adele, from whom she had received most efficient support. The house was crammed to suffocation. The steam ship Great Britain sailed. from Liver pool for New York on Saturday afteinoon, where many persons assembled along the pier heads and the opposite side of the. river, .to have a.view of her as she passed along. She .had about 120 paiiienters, a heavy marl, and a largo' cargo of goods. SERIOUS .ACCIDENT ON .THE RlVER.—Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a sailor, named Henry Miller, belong ing to a Rochester fishing smack, "fell from the rigging on to the bulwarks, as the craft was passing through the Erith Reach. He was rendered motionless,Jmi t ibrenag(!)-u -ht — liiisifiti l trigto when their arrived alongside it. The smack ar rived at Hungerford Market Pier at eleven A. 31., when the man was growing worse. He was removed to Charing-cross Hospital, and it was then discovered that he had received most dangerous injuries of the spine. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT DETFORD.—Acting on the suggestion of the Inspector-General of Railways, the fol • lowing notice appears conspicuously on a board at all the stations between Birmingham and Bristol :—" No truck, waggon, or carriage, is in future to be brought from any siding upon either of the . maiii lines, or allowed to stand there for the purpose of being attached to any train expected until such train shall have arrived at such station and stopped." [ADVERTISEMENT.] —GENERAL JOSE GONZALVES CORED er A BAD LEG NY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINT IKENY.—The General some . time ago . received a gun-shot wound in the leg, vrhieh, from neglect and fatigue, assumed an alarming appearance, there being a sudden outburst of several ulcers, and, for a time, mortification was seriously apprehended ; in this alarming state the amputation of the limb was deemed as absolutely necessary. The General, however, unwilling to sacrifice his leg, dismissed his doctors, and set about using nothing else but Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and with these celebrated remedies he perfectly cured, himself in five weeks, and was able to leave London last week for the Con tinent.

A meeting of the, inhabitants of Brentford was held on Saturday, in the largeroom at the Castle Inn, in that town, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Committee of the London and Exeter Direct Railway Cornpany, and to hear a statement of their intentions with respect to that por tion of the line intended to pass through and accommodate. Brentford and the neighbourhood. Francis Lloyd, Esq.; was called to the chair. Mr. Cot OMBINE said, as officiallyzonnected with the Com pany, he was asked to expound their views; but• he begged in the first place to say that all he had done had been in the capaCity of their hamble officer, whose duty it was to carry out the instructions given to him. He then proceeded to say that the line projected to Windsor was the first but very imperfectly carried out notion of a communication with the west, and' that he (Mr. Colombine) had been invited to.join the Company: His reply was, that however unwilling they might be to take any course parallel with that. occupied by other gentlemen, still that thia:.was not merely a subject of private enterprise or speculation, but a great and gigantic undertaking; the object of which was to follow out the sug gestions of Parliament favour of promoting facilities of communication between London and Falmouth, and that it would be most injudicious to advise that so great and gigan-, tic an iindertiking sfiould depend upon a small line starting from London to Windsor. These remarks, he trusted, would dispose of any notion of this Company's taking up any por tion of their ground in hostility to other parties locally in terested, and these obServations would equally apply to the HounsloW Company. It would only be repeating a state ment which he had very recently made in public, to say that it was quite impossible that Parliament should sanction more than one line of railway starting from Hyde-park corner. It was quite Obvious that the public required and would have railway communication in that direction, but it must be by a " trunk" line. It was not likely that Parliament would allow the country near the metropolis to be cut up by several different 'lines to Windsor, Hounslow, and Brentford. ) The proposition - which they (the promoters of the Direct Exeter line) made was this :—With any gentle men who may have an interest in shorter lines we are ready to act in co-operation, and 'we court their assistance ; but we have formed a company, and our object is to proceed with peace and harmony.—(Cheers.) We say that a trunk line will give all the accommodation that a short line can possibly give; we shall give you a station as near the heart of the metropolis as any company can afford, and at such individual and intermediate towns and places as shall have a population and traffic to warrant it. This being our plan we court inves tigation, and challenge any other company to show advan tages superior to those which we offer.—(Hear.) All that they can do wwcan do, and a great deal more. We say that no company which .has only a short line- for its object.caa ever offer. an ,equivalent return for the capital therein em-' ployed. That is 'a proposition which, I ,think, no one will attempt to controvert ; and• in proof of the assertion, it is only necessary to point to the Greenwich and Blackwell lines.—( Hear.) Captain BLAGG—I beg pardon for interrupting you, but I have heard it objected to your company, that you would not give to Brentford the same accommodation as a shorter line. If you would do that, I think the long line would be prefer able, as it would bring more traffic through the town, and would give a great impetus to trade.—(Hear.) Mr. CotomniNE:;-Every accommodation that would be afforded by a short line will be guaranteed by, this ; and the question as to the precise locality of the stations is a matter of perfect indifference. It would be our duty to place them where there is the greatest amount of traffic and population. Dr. CogrEtto imagined Captain Blagg alluded to the fre quency of the trains. Captain BLAGG said he did so. It had been stated that a short line would afford great accommodation by running trains every quarter of an hour, whereas a great trunk ex tension line would not give more than one train an hour. Mr. CeLOMIMNE said he was very much obliged to Captain Blagg for mentioning this matter, and did, on the part of the Direct Exeter Company, most unequivocally declare and pro mise that whatever could be accomplished by any other line for the accommodation of Brentford, should be accomplished by them.—(Hear, hear.) The great object of their scheme was to bring London and Falmouth into immediate commu nication ; but there would be short trains as well as long ones, and he had no hesitation—if that was a point of diffi cultv—in stating that the short trains Would be made as rapid and as frequent as could be desired. Captain BIAGG had been induced to mention the matter from having heard it made a subject of discussion in that town. There were no less than eight projected companies for bringing a line of railway through this neighbourhood; but he thought it was quite evident that there could not be more than one line, and that it was equally evident that a trunk line must be the description of line to come through the road. The line the Direct Exeter Company offered certainly went through a country altogether untouched by any other line of railway, took Bagshot and that direction, which at present were not accommodated within six, eight, or nine miles by any line whatever; it would save 30 miles in the distan4 between London and Exeter. and some. hing like 60 mita between London and Falmouth.—(Cheers.) This was a great and important consideration, for while it made a line from London to the Land's End, it afforded such accommodation to this town as to deserve the encouragement of the neigh bourhood: He had no stake in the matter, but thought he spoke the sentiments of the town in expressing this opinion. —(Hear.) After some further observations from Captain Blagg, Mr. COLOMBINE stated that it was the intention of the Company to have their London terminus at Hyde Park corner, close to Montpelier-square. Captain BLAGG suggested an amalgamation with the Hungerford Company. Mr. CoLomeiNE—The question of making any arrange ment with the South-Western or Thames Embankment Com pany would be a subject for future consideration, and would be premature at present.--:-(Hear.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting. A vote of thanks to Mr. Lloyd for hia conduct in the chair was then carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. RRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER. BRISTOL, SATURDAY. —The half,yearlynneeting, which was very numerously attended, was held this afternoon, Mr. Geo. Jones, Chairman of the Company, presiding. Mr. FLETCHER, the secretary, read the Directors' report as follows : • • " The revenue of the United Bristol and Gloucester and Birmingham and Gloucester Railways, for the half-year end ing on the 30th of June last, was commuted on the 7th' of May for the sum of 26.0004 as'announced to the proprietary by circular, dated on that day. The proportion of this sum claimed and obtained - for the Shareholders of the Bristol and Gloucester line is 4,730/., which, after deducting the income tax, will yield a dividend of 16s. 110. on every share' on which the sum of 50/. has been paid up, and 10s. 2d. on every share on which the sum of 30/. has been paid up; beside in terest at the rate of per cent. per annum on the new stock, from the periods of its payment to the 30th June last. The agreement made on ,the Bth of February last, between the Birmingham . and Gloucester Railway Company and tke Bristol and Gloucester Railway Company of the one part, and the Midland Railway Company of the other part, and confirmed by the Proprietors of this Company, at a special general meeting convened for that purpose on the 7th March last, has been ratified by the Proprietors of the said three Companies, and a Bill to carry it out will be intro duced into Parliament next session. The arrangement be tween the three Companies is in the meantime carried on under the agreement, and the Proprietors will receive from the Midland Railway Company 61. per cent. peron_unj itheetm - IvinT --- fdru'rctoe mkt - I no/Trauranfon, Esqs., have withdrawn from the direction ; and Samuel Beale and Abel Peyton, Esqs., have been appointed to succeed them." Mr. C. B. FRIPP said, tut as it was of the greatest import ance to the commercial posperity of Bristol, he wished to be informed whether the Milland Counties, who would have,the control of the Bristol and Gloucester line, had made such ar rangements as would sectre a uniformity of gauge, as it was the only means of- ensuring the city of Bristol a commercial intercourse with the • Midimd Counties in a proper and per manent manner. The CHAIRMAN said h( was not in a situation to answer the question officially. Upon the point in question, he only was acquainted will what was generally stated out of doors, that it was intended to make the line uni form between Bristol tad I3inningham. The tranship ment of 'goods at GlatNster prevented a great quantity of the manufactures c the Midland Counties being brought to the poll 0 Bristol. He (the Chairman) would be very glad to tee the wide gauge brought into operation generally ; bt as the Midland Counties were all on the narrow ghge, it had, he believed, been thought advisable that a uniform narrow gauge must be adopted. For his ow, part, he had no doubt of the superiority of the wide huge over the narow gauge, and he could hope to see thatprinciple adopted ge nera ll y ; b ut they were obliged to yiektit present in that respect to cir cumstances. •He did nofspeak officially, but he believed that it was the intention of the Midland Company to pre serve the narrow gauge, athe most conducive to their pre sent. interests. Mr. Josel l Saunders, • the secretary of the Midland Company, was, blvever, present, and would be enab!ed to give the infornition officially. Mr: SAuNretits said it ras the intention of the Midland Company to make one Iniferra gauge throughout, from Gloucester to Bristol, and Birmingham—that gauge being the narrow gauge.. If thelivere to adopt any other, he was afraid the traffic they ant ,gated would be brought to the port of Bristol from the Mind and Northern counties would not be what they could w , without the adoption of one uniform gauge. The report having bee adopted, and six per cent de dared, The CHAIRMAN said th vidends, from July last, would be paid on the 13th of October, and after thai on the Ist of January and lstof July in each year. The Grand Junction have brought out from their works at Crewe several new luggage vans for leading carriages to the passenger trains, heavier and longer than any hitherto in use, and having boxes for the guards, who will thus be protected from the weather. These vans, it is said, will be a great protection from accident, and the passengers will be safe from danger from the engine. The Company are now constructing some carriages with six wheels and brace springs, which, it is calculated, will be more easy and safer than those with four. The Manchester. and Birmingham have reduced their first and second-class fares, the latter from ss. 6d. to 4s. 4d., and the former from 7s. 6d. to ss. 6d. On nearly all the southern, and some other railways, a practice now. prevails of issuing day tickets, by which indi viduals can proceed from one town to another and return on the same day at one-third less than the usual charge; they can also leave home on Saturday and return on the following Monday, at the same reduced rate. The total number of passengers that reached the Swinton station for the Doncaster races amounted to 3,379, being 800 more than last year. The receipts for their con veyance amounted to 1,100/., and the increase of passengers on the whole line, for seven days, exceeded 2,000. The Directors of the Newcastle, Durham, and Lancashire Junction, have decided on forming a united Company with the Manchester, Liverpool, and Great North of England Union Railway, under the name of the Northumberland and Lancashire Junction Railway. The shareholders will be en titled to two shares of twenty pounds in the new Company, in exchange for each share in the present Company. SALISEURY.—At the last meeting of the Town Council, to consider which line from Manchester to Salisbury should be supported, the line first proposed to the public was Mr. Walkinshaw's ; - subsequently a line was started by Mr.- Lacy. On a division the numbers stock! thus Walk inshaw's line, 11.—Mr. Brodie, Dr. Finch, Messrs. Alford, Smith, Cooper, Cobb, Brownjohn, Charles Finch, Lucas, Fulford, Minty. For Lacy's line, 12.-The mayor (Mr. Kelsey), Messrs. Stevens, • Cother, Hussey, Pain, Hetley, Brown, Blackmore, jun., Mackrell, Everett, Foot, Minty. Messrs. Pain and Hetley are directors of Lacy's line, and if these be deducted, as interested parties, Walkinshaw's line had a majority of disinterested votes. Mr. Walker, the engineer, has announced that it is per fectly practicable, to forth a double line between Newbury and Bath, and at the same time to preserve the navigation. Tm.x WELSH MIDLAND.—Mr. Robert Stephenson and Mr. Gibbs, the engineers to this Company, are now engaged in surveying the line, definitely fixing all matters of detail, and determining the case with which the Company shall enter . Parliament. Mr. Stephensen proceeded to Worcester on Wednesday last, and will, with the assistance of Mr. Gibbs, inspect the whole line. Connected with the express trains on the Manchester and Birmingham, a leading carriage is attached to the tender for .the use.of the guard, who, in future, will be protected from the keen air. It is laden with three tons of iron, to prevent the train froin oscillating. The Leeds and Bradford have voted 2001. to the "mis sionaries" ministering amongst the workmen on their line. CHESTERFIELD AND GAINSBOROUGH.—A meeting has just .been. held at Chesterfield ; Mr. C. Cotteaham in the chair. There were present several canal proprietors and gentlemen froin Refford. A . discussion took place, which ended in a determination to carry out the project. GLOUCESTER AND FOREST OF DEAN.—On Saturday a meeting of parties interested in the developmejit of the re sources of the Forest of Dean, was held at Gloucester, for the purpose of securing a communication, by means of the pro posed lines, with the mineral districts of the Forest.- AMALGAMATION OF THE DUBLIN AND BELFAST • AND GREAT COUNTY DOWN LINES. The following, we understand, are the terms of this amal gamation : 1. The line of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company is to be continued from a point north of Newry, direct to Belfast, there to meet the line of the Great County Down Cbinprinycthat is to proceed by way of Downpatrick—the ' two lines to have a common terminus at Belfast, which is to be erected at the joint expense of the two Companies. The Junction line is to be c arr i e d from NeWry to Bilfast, in a direction almost parallel with the existing mail-coach-road —that is to say, on by the Loughlnicklands, through Ban bridge and Dromore, to Hillshorough, there to diverge to the north-eastward, and proceed right up to Belfast. quay. 2. The Great County Down Company is to subscribe to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company one-half of the capital necessary for constructing their direct extension line from Newry to Belfast: the former company to receive, in propor tion to the capital thus invested by them, one-half of the pro fits of the whole line of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company, from Drogheda to Belfast. 3. The making of the line, from or near Newry to Belfast, is to be entrusted to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Com pany, with such a proportion of the directory of the Great County Down Company, placed on the management of the Junction, as shall be equal to a fair representation of the amount of the capital invested. 4. The Great County Down Company is to be entrusted to make the line from Newry to Warrenpoint, and the line from Newry to Belfast, by way of Downpatrick, together with that part of the main-trunk line which is to extend from the com mon terminus at Belfast to the harbour and packet-station of Donaghadee. 5. The two companies undertake mutually to co-operate, and to the utmost of their power to ,render each other assist ance, in carrying their respective Bills entire through both Houses of Parliament. By •the-proposed line, a direct communication between Edinburgh and Dublin, with only two hours' sea-passage, will be established;' the passengers, &c., conveyed to Dona ghacide'by the trains of th e J unc ti on and Great County Down Companies, and thlake by the mail-packets to Portpatrick, proceeding to the •Scottish metropolis by the trains of the British and Irish Union. The Midland Great Western- (Dublin to' Galway-) Direct Company announce an. extension from Mullingar to Galway, in connexion with the line from Ballinasloe to Kilkenny, and that arrangements have been made for securing the co-opera tion of the Enelish Grand Junction Company; who have agreed to take 2,000 shares. Messrs. Moss, Mozeley, and Sandars, Directors of the Grand Junction, have been added to the directory. TilE Russ LINES.—The following statistical summary shows that the total length of new lines granted last session, and now in progress of formation, amounts to 613 miles, and the total capital to be outlayed in the employment of labour in their formation to 7,465,0001.:—8e1fa5t and Ballymena, 37i mile., capital 385,000/. ; Cork and Bandon, 20A miles, capital 240,000/. ; Dublin and Belfast Junction, 734 miles, capit a l 950,000/. ; Dublin and Drogheda, 3 miles, capital 40,0004 ; Dundalk and Enniskillen, 40i- miles, capital 750,000/. ; Gre a t Southern and Western, 98i miles, capital, 1,200,000/. ; Great Western (Dublin to Mullingar and Athlone), 77* miles, capital 1,000,0001.; Londonderry and Coleraine, 39 miles, capital 500,000/. ; Londonderry and Enniskillen, 56h miles, capital 500,000/. ; Newry and Enniskillen, 554 miles, capital 900,000/. ; Waterford and Kilkenny, 374 miles, capital 250,0001. ; Waterford and Lime r i c k, 78 m il es, capital 750,0004 Total : 613 miles, capital 7,465,000/. DEPOSITS UPON RAILWAY PROJECTS.—As the end of the year is now approaching, numberless conjectures are afloat as to the time and manner in which the large deposits accruing upon railway projects must be placed in the hands of the Accountant-General. At a moderate estimate the sums which will thus-have to be provided amount to no less than 30,000,000/. sterling, more than the whole circulation of the Bank of England, and, perhaps, three times as much as could be withdrawn at any one time without seriously embar- - , rassing the whole currency of the country. From the result 'of the most careful inquiries on this subpet, we can state that there ismot an individual in the City, however experienced in .monetary, affairs, who is able satisfactorily to his own mind, to explain how this money is to be provided, espeeially if a large proportion is called for at the same time, which is likely to be the case. The question, there fore, universally asked, and which would probably puzzle the Accountant-General himself to answer, is, how much would be wanted at once, and what would be done with it when in his possession? At present the money arising from railway deposits, instead of making any scarcity, rather in creases the previous abundance, because it passes into the hands of the various bankers to the railway companies, who, of course, employ it again to the extent to which they con sider they may safely and prudently do so. According to general conjecture, the month of February being that in which Parliament opens, will be the time'orieWhich a large portion of the money will, in due course, be required ; but the subject will demand -the most vigilant attention on the part of the Chaneellen: of the' Exchequer, in regulating its progress, and it is thought by many that it may prove an over-matchlor the utmost degree of caution which the Trea sury can exercise.—Times. DEMOLITION OF THE NEW PRISON:- 1 -This build• ing was erected so far back as the reign of James 11. It was intended to hold' a much less number originally than it has afforded room_ for laiterly, two wings having been added to it, at and expense of nearly 40,0001. The building is now being removed, and in its place a model prison will be erected, from the design of Major Jebb, Mr. We n t wor th R usse ll , and Mr. Crawford, the prison inspectors. The new building will contain separate`cells, and the number of prisoners for which provision will be made is estimated at 270, including both sexes. The officers will wear uniforms, as at the Pentonville and Millbank prisOns, and will be subject to the same kind of military disciplihe. Mr. Grimsdell, of Sun-street, Bishops gate, is the builder, and his contract amounts to 30,000/., independent of the old building materials, which are calcu lated to be of tiii) value of from 10,0001. to 12,000/. The builder is under terms to complete the prisoner in eighteen months from the present time. MARYLEBONE Vzsxnr.—On Saturday at the meet ing of this vestry, the answer of the Poor-law Commissioners to the depuation respecting the proposed - asylums for the houseless poor was read by the vestry-clerk. The substance of the reply was, that having considered the'remonstrances of the deputation, the Commissioners saw no reason why they should alter their determination. Mr. Mechi then moved that all matters should be referied to the committee already appointed. The motion was carried unanimously.. Mr. Ridgway then brought forward a motion for a return of.Ake numbereln_oliccimare.emarlov r ait i'nffitude-on preambulat ing that district, and had been informed that there were five by .day and twenty-five by night. He did not think that was sufficient fo - r the class of houses and the money obtained from them. He also wished to ascertain the amount of poor's rates levied ttpiel the 'houses, and desired that application should be made to the Commissioners for this information. The motion was agreed to. IMPUDENT 'FRAUD.—On Saturday afternoon the following impudent fraud was successfully played off upon Miss Dorcas Jones, a maidenlady, residing in North-row, Gray's Inn-lane :—Two men brought her a letter, purport ing to be from her nephew, Mr. Alfred Jones, informing her that he was then a prisoner in a sponging house, in Chan cery-lane, for a debt of 30/. 145., and imploring her to advance him that sum, so that he might obtain his liberation and be able to attend his father's funeral. Miss Jones, who is an aged lady, was so worked upon by the artful representations of the fellows, that she placed the money in their hands to liberate her nephew. Mr. Jones called upon his aunt in the evening, when the fraud was discovered, and, from the writ ing of the note being an exact counterpart of Mr. Jones's, it is suspected that some acquaintance, who has had opportu nities of observing it, has concocted this impudent fraud. • DUNGENESS,.
