TO\ DOLT and YORK RAILWAY. , Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed " DIREC l' NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsine, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, In justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give those assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than two miles and a half. Sir John Bennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 11151 Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line Is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whet. ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retforci, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Non. nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbet in 1836, and in that year carried into Parliament. That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis. sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, 111. P ; who suggested several alteration., and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of ,April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway," before any advertisement of Bic John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dia. tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon. don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub. scribed, ano its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter.project, and with the mis..statements here disposed of.

Late en Saturday evening Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey, commenced an inquiry at Mr. Avis's, the Eight Bells Tavern, Putney, into the circumstances at tending the death of Mr. Henry Tyer, .aged 21, a mid shipman, and son of the late 71r. Tyer, of Manor House, Barnes. The deceased was drowned off the Crab Tree, at Hammersmith, on the evening of Friday, the 27th ult., but his body was not found until Saturday morn ing last. Mr. James Springett, a boat-builder at Putney, de posed that the deceased, with whom he was well ac quainted, hired a wherry of him about half-past two o'clock on Friday afternoon week. He was then quite sober. He had been in the habit of going up the river every day . for about three weeks, and was fully capable of managing a boat. Witness never saw deceased alive after that afternoon, but the next morning he heard that his boat was at the Crab Tree, and he went after it. It was not in the least injured, so that the decased could not have run foul of any craft. Charles Taylor, of No. 44, Lower Fore-street, Lam beth, fisherman, deposed that on Friday evening week, about five o'clock, he was fishing at Chiswick-eyot, when he heard a cry of" a man overboard." Upon looking round he saw the deceased in the water ; he was swim ming. Witness rowed towards him and got him into his boat, and took him ashore at Chiswick. Deceased said ho had slipped his scull and fell in. Deceased treated witness and another man to a quart of ale, and took down his address, promising that he would call upon him and reward him. Witness said that deceased was drunk, and when he wanted him to push off his boat for him he would not do so, as be conceived he was not capable of managing a boat in the state he was then in. Witness went away, leaving deceased on shore; he after wards heard that he was drowned, and he dragged three hours for him but without success. Edward Hawkins stated that about half-past five o'clock on the evening in question he was fishing at the lower part of Chiswick-eyot, when he saw deceased in the water. Witness went to his assistance, took him into his own boat, and rowed him to the Ship, near the Hammersmith Water-works. Deceased was very much intoxicated. He told witness that he had already been in the water three times, and that the first time ho lost his coat and the second time his hat. The deceased said he would sooner have lost his life than his coat. Wit ness advised deceased to remain on shore, and refused to shove his boat off for him, as he considered he would most likely lose his life if he persisted in going in her again. Mr. Bullen observed that a bargeman in the employ of Mr. Skeel had witnessed the fatal accident, and he said deceased rolled out of the boat,. The CORONER said if that was the case he would ad journ the inquiry, for it was highly important they should have direct evidence as to the manner in which deceased met his death. The inquiry was then adjourned, after lasting more than four hours.

Chatham Chatham Athlone Isle of Wight FIRE AT CLERHENWELL.—On Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a fire broke out near Back-hill, Clerkenwell, in a long range of premises oc cupied conjointly by Mr. W. Powell, a large cab proprietor, and Mr. Waite, a seed merchant. The tire originated in a part of the building used as the provender stores, and the place being filled with articles of the most inflam mable nature, the progress of the flames was unusually rapid. Much difficulty was experienced in getting the horses out in time to save them from destruction ; none, however, were injured. The floor above the stores con tained several thousand pounds' worth of seeds ; the whole of this valuable property was destroyed in a very short time. Several engines were quickly on the spot. The fire was got under in a short space of time, but the amount of damage done is very considerable. ACCIDENT AT DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—On Saturday evening, shortly before seven o'clock, an acci dent of an appalling nature occurred in the pit passage of the above theatre, immediately contiguous to Vinegar yard.

FALMOUTIE, SATURDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty's ship Hazard, Commander Bell, left San Bias, on January 10, for Oahu, the capital of the Sandwieh Islands, conveying Consul-General Miller to his newly-appointed residence, and arrived there March 4th, where Rear-Admiral Thomas, in the Dublin, was met with, and people employed in getting up her anchor, the chain of which had been carried away. The Hazard was ordered, and sailed immediately thence to Otaheite to deliver dispatches ; and the Dublin, to sail next day, was reported to hare passed through the Society group for Valparaiso on the Ist of April, towards Valparaiso. The Hazard arrived off the reef at Papeeti May 7th, when a boat was ordered on shore with four hands, Dr. Veech and Lieut. Rose in command and in charge of the dispatches. This officer had landed at Papeeti, and delivered the dispatches to Lieut. hunt of the Basilisk, who had assumed the official duties of British Consul, and after remaining on shore a quarter of an hour, and when about 100 yards from the pier, on returning to the Hazard, cruising oft and on, outside the reef, the boat was hailed from an armed barge belonging to the French frigate La Charte, and was ordered by the officer to the "Maison" (the house of the Admiral), or to the frigate, to either of which he pointed; but Lieutenant Rose turned his boat round, and proceeded for the pier, in order to get an ex planation from Lieutenant Hunt as to what was re quired. On arriving alongside the wharf, Lieut. Rose said he would neither proceed to the " Maison" nor to the frigate, or anywhere else at the bidding of French authority. He was then ordered to get out of his boat into the barge, which he did, at the same moment he directed the British man-of-war ensign and pendant to be hauled down, and unbuckling his sword delivered it to the officer; the barge then pro ceeded towards the French frigate La Charte, towing the gig of the Hazard. On getting alongside, Lieut. Rose was directed to go on board ; his crew remain ing in their boat. A long consultation ensued, and after being on board the frigate two hours and a half, the sword was delivered up to Lieutenant Rose, and he was told that he might go on board his own vessel. He demanded an explanation and an apology, but was replied to that there was " no apology." "No communication was allowed with the shore." And the second officer of the frigate said that he had been treated in a similar manner by the British some years ago when on the Gibraltar station. Lieutenant Rose was politely dealt with on board La Charte. On arriving on board the Hazard, Lieutenant Rose reported to Commander Bell the conduct of the French towards him, when it was deemed most ad visable to pursue their voyage for Sydney, on which station the Hazard was destined, rather than to make for Valparaiso to fall in with the British Admiral. The French ship-of. war Uranie, 60 g-uns ;La Charte, frigate ; another frigate ; and the Phaeton steamer were there; and another French frigate remaining at the peninsula, where the first battle was fought with the Otaheitians. The Queen and her husband were on board the Basilisk. About 100 Europeans had en listed under the Otaheitian banner, among whom are some runaway gunners' mates. The Hazard, on her voyage towards Sydney, touched at Navigator's Island, for wood and water, and whilst she remained there an assemblage of the chiefs, thirty in number, was held at Tootooilah, over which the King presided. The result of the busi ness of the day was the adoption of a petition to her Britannic Majesty, to afford them and their people protection ; and to give them in proof of her Royal favour, a flag emblematic of annexation to England. The petition is said to be extremely well and appro priately got up. The natives were sadly afraid of a visit from the French ; but they had resolved to die rather than to allow them to occupy their native soil. The Hazard arrived at Sydney on May 23d. The vessel having on board the French Roman Catholic Bishop, with several nuns and others, which sailed from Brest some months ago, bound to the Sandwich Islands, had not arrived. It was currently reported in the South Seas that she had foundered off Cape Horn. The brig Arachne, Captain Pearse, which furnished the above information, sailed from Sydney on June 8, and landed her mails and dispatches at Falmouth also Lieutenant Rose, R.N., who is sent to England by his commander to report on the above transaction. The Arachne also furnished a mail from Adelaide, taken up to Sydney by the Hawke ; and another from Wellington, New Zealand, conveyed to Sydney by the Calypso. A mail has also been landed, ex the brig Vernon, Webster, from Madeira, which vessel reported that her Majesty's packet Swift had arrived at Madeira, on her outward voyage from Bence towards Brazil. The West India steam-ship, homeward-bound, passed by here to-day, at ten A.M. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. This bijou of a theatre opened for the winter season on Saturday. Mr. Maddox has taken advantage of the recess to have the interior renovated, re-painted, and fitted up in a most costly style of splendour and magnificence, so that the Princess's still retains its character as the most elegant of metropolitan theatres. Opera and ballet, for the production of which this theatre has acquired such celebrity, will still continue to be a prominent feature ; but the engagement of Wallack would seem to indicate an intention on the part of the management to devote some attention to comedy and the drama. The corps operatique . is full and complete. Signor Schirra continues to wield the baton of conductor ; Mr. Eames is the leader, and the choruses are under the efficient superintendence of Mr. W. L. Phillipps. Allen is still the primo tenore, Leffler is primo basso, and Mademoiselle Nau, from the Academie Royal de Musique, is prima donna. This lady made her debut last even ing in the opera of Lucia di Lammermoor, and never have we witnessed a more successful debut than that of Mademoiselle Nau. Her person is fine and com manding, and her features well formed and expressive. Her voice is high soprano of the Persiani character; it has great power, and is cultivated to the highest pitch of excellence. Her opening cavatina, " Ancor non giunse," was _a perfect triumph of art, and at, once stamped her as the prima donna absoluta. Ex pression, power of voice, taste, cultivation, musical knowledge and immense power of execution, all these were exhibited by Mademoiselle Nau. It was quite equal to Persiani in her best days. The "Perche non ho" was given with sound judgment and taste, and exhibited the same marvellous powers of execution. The audience were in raptures, and the applause was most enthusiastic. Then followed the beautiful duet with Edgar, which concludes the first act, in which she was admirably supported by Allen; and the drop scene fell amidst the loudest calls for Mademoiselle Nau, who was led forward, and received with a perfect shout of triumph. Very exquisitely, too, did she give the opening scena Of the second act, " Il palls funesta oviendo," with Enrico, although we could have wished that she had been more sufficiently supported by Leffler, who was occasionally hoarse, and who seemed by no means at home in the part of Enrico. The concluding scena was also magnificently given, both as a musical and a histrionic effort ; it was of the very highest order. The powers of execution she exhibited were marvellous. Her fioriture was brilliant in the extreme, but introduced with the most exquisite taste. The audience were in extacies, and the repetition of the concluding portion of the scena was loudly called for. The success of Mademoi selle Nau was complete; and Mr. Maddox, to whom we are indebted for having introduced to the English musical public Madame Eugenia Garcia and Madame Anna Thillon, has added greatly to the obligations we are under to him by introducing to us Madame Nau, perhaps the most accomplished artiste who has yet appeared upon the boards of the Princess's. She was called for at the fall of the curtain, and received with all the honours; bouquets were showered upon her, and in fact, never was triumph more complete. The opera was followed by a new ballet divertissement, entitled the Slave Market, which introduced to us Mademoiselle Caroline Rousset and Monsieur J. Rousset, from the Theatre Royal, Turin. Mademoi selle Rousset, is an exceedingly pretty French girl, with flue sparkling expressive black eyes. She is a very elegant danseuse ; there was exceeding neatness about her execution ; everything that was attempted was accomplished with gracefulness, and isiigwithout er ap parentu effort.
