STRETTON - UPON•DUNSMORE.—In the spring of the present year we gave an account of the abduction of a young lady, named Jane Page, from the boarding school of Miss Kimberley, at 'Warwick, and the sub sequent apprehension of the parties at an hotel in the Isle of Man. The young la:ly, who is the daughter of a highly respectable farmer at Stretton, was only about thirteen years of age ; while George Gardner, the young man with whom she decamped, was some years above twenty, and like the girl whom he en ticed from school, was also most respectably connected. On their return from the Isle of Man, Gardner, after a lengthened examination, was committed to take his trial for the felony at the last Warwick Spring Assizes, but in consequence of the intimacy which had existed between the families, and from other causes, a compromise was effected, Gardner pleaded " Guilty," and the Judge passed upon him a mere nominal punishment. He was ordered to enter into his own recognisance in the sum ofsool. towards Mr. Page and his family. Nothing more was heard of Gardner by the public until the latter end of last week, when it suddenly transpired that he had poi soned himself in the house of Mr. Page, during that gentleman's absence. The following evidence, taken before Mr. W. H. Seymour, Coroner, of Coventry, at the Royal Oak, Dunmore, will explain the strange circumstances under which his death took place : Miss Jane Page (aged 13) deposed that she had known the prisoner about three years ; that he had been away for some time past, in consequence of the result of an investigation some time ago, owing to his having decoyed her away from sc h oo l. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning last he contrived, by means of a hurdle, to effect an entrance into the bedroom of witness and her sister. He seemed dull, and after remain ing there some time, during which he spoke very little, he went into an adjoining room. About 8 o'clock, Mr. Page (her father) left home to go to Southam fair, and witness then informed her mother of deceased's being in the house, and about nine o'clock witness took him up stairs some coffee and toast ; on going up stairs, about half-an-hour after wards, witness observed deceased had not finished his coffee, and smelling something strong and different from the flavour of coffee, she asked him what it was, and he said " Nothing." She left deceased, but soon afterwards went up again; perceived then that he had not partaken of his toast, and saw a small bottle lying on the table empty. He made no reply to her inquiries as to what the bottle contained, but appeared to roll his eyes about, and staggered. Witness advised him to go to bed, and he did so. She went up to him again about twelve o'clock, when he was lying on the bed on his back, with his mouth open, and his eyes shut, but sometimes snored. She called up her mother, and then told her of the extraordinary smell she had noticed when he was taking his coffee. Previous to hi, going to bed he had washed and shaved himself. Before he laid down he said he should like to die on the bed. No one could have gone up stairs to the deceased without witness seeing, though her mother might have gone up, for they were busy washing that day. Her mother was much shocked, and proposed sending for Mrs. Quinney, a nurse in the village, but did not send for a surgeon, being afraid, because her father was not at home. Mrs. Quinney, witness, and her Imother put the hurdle under the bed, deceased having pulled it into the room with him. Mrs. Quinney washed his face, and was then sent for away. Witness remained in the room with the de ceased all day, leaving him only occasionally, and in the afternoon tried to administer to him some milk, white of egg, and water, according to Mrs. Quin ney's recommendation, but he could not take it: In the course of the morning deceased told witness thee he came from the Rugby station, and walked; she told him she wished he had not come, as it would cause some unpleasantness with her father, and this was the reason why she had not told her father of his being in the house. She also knew he was bound in recognisances of 5001. not to disturb the family again. He died while witness was gone to fetch Mrs. Quin ney a second time, between six and seven o'clock in the evening, just at which time her father returned from Southam fair. ABDUCTION AND SUICIDE. DERBY, WE DNESDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday after• noon a most i mportant meeting of the Middlesex Railway Comp any, which has lately been styled such owing to the amalgamation into one court of pro prietors of the shareholders of the Birmingham and Derby, the. North Midland, and the Midland Counties Companies, was held at the railway station in this great centre of railway traffic. The late hour at which it conc;luded prevented a report being for warded the saute night. The meeting was made special for the purpose of considering the. expediency of, and if thought fit of sanctioning, an application to Parliament in the ensuing session, for power to enable the Midland Railway Comps ny, or some of the company or com panies in connexion with them, to make the following lines of railway or any of them, viz. :- 1. A railway from the Midland Railway at Not tingham to Newark and Lincoln, crossing over the river Trent. 2. A railway from the Midland Railway at Swinton by Doncaster, Bawtry, and Gainsborough to Lincoln, and thence passing near Boston, Spalding, and Wis beach, to join the Eastern Counties Railway at March. 3. A railway from the Midland Railway at Syston, by way of Okehatn and Stamford to Peterborough. And also for the purpose of considering in what manner the necessary capital for the construction of all or any such lines of railway shall be raised or guaranteed, either wholly or in part, by the Midland Railway Company; and of adopting such measures in connexion with the matters-.aforesaid, and for effecting the purposes above - mentioned, or any of them, as to:such meeting ma 4 seem fit; and also for the purpose of considering, and, if thought fit, of sanctioning and confirming an agreement, which will be laid before the meeting, for the amalgamation of the Sheffield and Rotherham Canal Ccxmpany with the Midland Railway Company, on such terms and conditions as shall be then; proposed ; and on other special affairs. The meeting took place in a large room over the engine -house, the board-room being much too small for the great numbers who attended. Special trains from Nottingham, Leicester, Rugby, Leeds, Sheffield, York, Birmingham, and other places, were in readi ness to convey the shareholders back to their homes at the conclusion, but the regular trains brought them to the place of meeting. At two o'clock Mr. Hudson, of York, the chair man of the Board of Directors, took the chair, sup ported by about 400 shareholders, the most wealthy of the masses of the " people north." Mr. J. F. BELL, of Leicester, the secretary to the Company, read the advertisement;calliag the meeting. The CIIAIRMAN in a long address, proposed the fol lowing resolutions : " That it is expedient that this Company should un dertake the formation of a railway from Nottingham, through Newark, to Lincoln. "That it is also expedient that this. Company should undertake the formation of a railway, from Swinton, by Doncaster, Bawtry, and Gainsborough, to Lincoln, and thence to Boston, Spalding, Wisbeach, and March, there to join the Eastern Counties Railway. That it is expedient that this Company sho u ld un dertake the formation of a railway from Syston to Stam ford and Peterborough. " That the Directors of this Company be, and they are hereby authorised to order the accessary surveys, and to take all other proceedings that they may consider de sirable, with a view to an application to Parliament in the next session for an Act, or Acts, to authorise the construction of the before-mentioned line of railway, and of any other lines which they may consider it desirable for the interests of this Company to promote, for giving perfect railway accommodation to the eastern districts of the kingdom, in connexion with this and th e E astern Counties Railway. " That in order to provide the necessary funds for the purposes aforesaid, an additional capital of 2,500,0003 be raised by the creation of 62,500 shares of 401. each. " That such shares be distributed as fbllows : " 51,339 among the holders of the stock in this Com pany, being at the rate of one share for every 100 L stock. " 250 among the holders of the 21. shares, being at the rate of one share for every 50 shares. " 10,911 to be reserved.: fur landowners and parties locally interested, and others. " That provision be made in the Act for payment out of the additional capital of interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, to the holders of such new shares upon the amount of their subscriptions until the works shall be completed ; after which such new shares to form part of the capital stock of the Company. " That such shares be offered to the Proprietors of this Company who may be registered on the 11th day of November next, and that the Directors be authorised to dispose of any shares that shall not be accepted withi❑ one month from that day in such manner as they shall think fit. " That a deposit of 21. be required to be paid upon each of such new shares on or before the Ist of Decem ber next." The resolutions were then put to the meeting, and were carried unanimously amid loud applause. Not a single hand was held up against them. Mr. J. ELT" of Leicester, the Deputy Chairman, expressed his pleasure at the cordial vote just come to. He believed the granting of two Millions and a half of money to fifteen Directors without any other guarantee than their own;honour was unparalleled in railway matters. He hailed it as a bright augury of success and prosperity, and a death-blow to their enemies. A NEW AND IMPORTANT EDITION OF THE SILENT FRIEND ON HUMAN FRAILTY.

DICEY, of Claybrooke-hall, in Leices tershire, inquired if the Directors had considered the advantages of a line down the Erewash valley, saving much time and distance. The CHAIRMAN said, it had not been thought of by the Directors, but they had taken what they considered the best course under the peculiar circumstances in which they were placed. The next subject was relating to the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, which it was intended to amal gamate with the Midland line. An agreement was read guaranteeing 61. per cent. per annum on every share paid up to the Sheffield and Rotherham Proprietors, the Midland taking the liabilities with the capital and stock, and working the li ne . This was also carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said, it would be an excellent ar- Jangement for both parties. Mr. RAND, of Bradford, then, in the most compli mentary manner, moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man and Board of Directors for their unwavering conduct, and firm, honest course of policy. This was carried amid three loud cheers. The CHAIRMAN having replied, the immense as semblage separated. Miss Elizabeth Page corroborated her sister's evi dence as to the appearance of the deceased in their bed-room. Mrs. Page deposed, that when apprised of Gardner being in the house, after her husband had gone out, she went up stairs, and asked how he could think of coming there. He replied he did not know what pos sessed him. He said he had but one eighteen pence in the world; that he had been to America, and could not get work anywhere. Witness went up stairs again after deceased had finished his coffee, when he asked for a razor to shave with. Witness left the room, and forgot to give him one. Did not at that time see any phial or smell any particular smell ; and deceased appeared as well and as rational as usual. No laudanum, opium, or drugs of any kind were kept in the house. Witness then spoke of the appearance of the deceased as before described, when he lay on the bed, about the middle of the day, and explained why she did not send for a medical man. The phial now produced she had never seen before, but certainly did smell something in the room when called up like that now proceeding from the bottle. When her husband came home she informed him that Gardner lay dead in the house. Saw deceased after he had washed and shaved ; he then looked pale. He had not written to say that he was coming, nor did witness know that he was in England. Witness could not say that she had never heard the deceased declare that he would die in the house. He had not slept in the room he died in before. Hannah Quinney stated, that on going to Mr. Page's, between eleven and twelve o'clock, she found the deceased lying on the bed, and, she thought, dying. Ile could not swallow anything. Ills face was cold and clammy, and he appeared to have lost all use of his hands. Did not smell anything particular in the room. Advised Mrs. Page to send for a medical man, but she said she durst not. OPINIONS OF THII PRESS.

Mr. Calvert, surgeon, of Woolston, deposed that on being called in to deceased he found him lying on the bed with his clothes on, except his neckerchief. There was no external mark of violence on the body. The vessels of the head were full of blood of a dark colour. Examined the stomach, heart, and bowels, but in none of these organs found sufficient disease to cause death. The sto varied much in their yield, a large portion coming extremely short. TONERIDGE.—Our plantations are now nearly cleared ; the sample is excellent, and will, we trust, compensate for any deficiency in quantity. SEVENOAKS.—The picking in this neighbourhood is now done, and most of the growers have weighed off. In taking a view of the past season, with reference to the duty, it appears that the hops generally looked well up to the coming out in bur, when, from some cause which has baffled the re searches of all the growers in the neighbourhood, a most serious blight took place from Underrivers on the east to the utmost limit of the county westward, below the hill, which has so reduced the growth, that in many instances they have not been picked at all. In the more immediate vicinity of Sevenoaks and Westerham towns the planters have done well, but it is computed that not more than 8 cwt. will be the average growth. The mould has, as we have before stated, made sad havoc, still there are some very choice samples left. One gentleman has sold some very fine Sevenoaks hops for upwards of 11/., and Underrivew-(the• whole growth) have realised 101. The opieort is the duty will not . exceed 127,0001. WEST LONDON RAIL WAY. An adjourned meeting of the Directors and Share holders of this Company was held yesterday, at their offices, Abchurch-lane. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. FIFTEEN PERSONS INJURED. FURTHER PARTICULARS. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE; TUESDAY.— serious Red.; dent occurred this morning on the'l4 • he Brandling Junction Railway, by which one of ache passengers was killed, and fifteen others more or less injured. The ac cident arose from the collision of two engines, one of them attached tea grriage full of passengers on its way from Shields t(7l%Teffeagtilamokwather Gateshead, wh ere the line terminates. ~The-train left Shields station ex actly at five o'clock, and consisted of an engine with the tender first, and one passenger carriage, filled with butchers, on their way to attend the Newcastle cattle market. About two miles froni Shields, an engine was observed coming in an opposite Flireition t 4tit at so short a distance, owing to the curvature of the line at this place, that a collision appeared inevitabl6. The engine men at once reversed the engines, and. then leaped off, and immediately afterwards they came into;violent colli sion. Most of the butchers were stunned by the shock, all of them being thrown with considerable force against the partitions of the carriage. The next moment they found themselves careering . away towards Shields, the carriage, to use the expression of one of the passengers, " fiying like lightning." At once apprehensive of danger, some of the passengers began to leap from the carriage, and it was soon ascertained that the engine was under no control. Indeed the engineman and stoker had been left behind, after jumping off, and the engine, bounding from the collision, was running at an enormous speed along the line towards Shields, it being a gentle incline. By the time the train had reached the station, between fifteen and eighteen of the passengers bad thrown themselves out, the remainder continuing in the carriage, ready to jump out when they saw a favourable opportunity. Fortunately, on reaching the station a train of four or five empty carriages was standing on the line, against which the engine drove the carriage before it with tremendous force, carrying all forward to the back part of the station, where a strong balk of timber is placed as a stopper, over which some of the carriages were driven, whilst the whole were crushed together in one confused mass of broken fragments. Three or four yards behind the stopper a low wall enclose this part of the station, and beyond the wall there is a coal depot, on slower level by 25 to 30 feet. One of the carriages, torn from its frame and wh ee l s , was l e f t b a l ance d on the top of this wall. The engine, after being " brought up," still continued to " puff and blow," urging itself through the mass of broken carriages. In the carriage next the engine, which had gone from Shields with twenty-four or twenty-five passengers, there yet remained five or six . persons, whose escape under such circumstances was miraculous. John Brown, who lost his life, was in the division of the carriage next the engine, and his head was crushed to atoms by the revo lution of the wheels, and his body was otherwise much bruised, he being jammed in between the engine and one portion of the carriage. In the second division of the carriage there remained at this time three passengers ; one of whom, Mr. A. Thompson, says he sat on his seat incapable of moving, within a few inches of the engine, and the mangled body of Brown just below and in front of him, the engine tearing and pressing forward with furious energy, and gaining ground at every stroke. The roof of the division was crushed in, and all was a com plete wreck. By a desperate effort he got his legs liberated, and contrived to clear himself of the carriage, when just at the moment he heard a voice call to him for assistance; it was that of a strange man, a potter, belonging to Sunderland, but he returned instantly, seised him by the collar, and dragged him out. On raising this man from the mass of mutilated fragments, Thompson found his own son had been thrown undermost, and he was thus providentially rescued from premature death. By this time some one had got water and thrown in on the engine fire, which was soon extinguished, and the steam having been blowing off from the first, its force was spent, and the engines came to a stand. Brown was taken out alive, but died very shortly afterwards. The following is a list of the sufferers, and the nature of the injury they received:— John Brown, killed in the way described. lie was a cattle-driver, had been long in the trade, and was much respected. Joseph Burrell, butcher, Thames-street, South Shields Very much bruised internally; face cut, and arm much injured. Not expected to live. George Gamble, Church-row, South Shields. Head and face much bruised; his nose broken, from which a piece of bone was taken this afternoon. Not expected to recover. He had jumped out before the train reached the station. William Batey, wounded in the face and head ; com • plains of his back. William Greenwell, got on the step outside the car riage, and was preparing to jump when he came violently in contact with the battlement of one of the bridges; has , had his hip dislocated, his ankle-joint put out, and is much bruised and cut. John Douthwaite, injured in the shoulder, and other wise much bruised. • John Tindle, his collar-bone broken, and much cut and bruised. Anthony Brown, head and face much cut. John Young, much cut and bruised. William Wetherill, ankle sprained by jumping out, and otherwise slightly injured. These cases had been reported to the superintendent of the station to-night, when application was made for information on the subject, but further inquiries have supplied the following in addition : Thomas Forest, hurt in the arm. William Lawson, severely crushed and bruised. Thomas Gallon, slightly bruised. Matthew Davidson, injured in the leg and arm. Anthony Thompson and Robert Thompson, his son, both injured but slightly, considering the perilous situation which they occupied during the whole trans action. The following are the results of " A Table of Mortality in the Metropolis, showing the Number of Deaths from all Causes registered in the Week ending Saturday, the sth of October, 1844." Tho Table is issued from the Office of the Registrar-General:— Mr. WILKINsoN was called to the chair; and in opening the business of the day, he said that the last meeting had been adjourned in consequence of certain negotiations which had been entered into with the large companies. Those negotiations were still pend ing, and therefore it would be necessary to adjourn the meeting again. He had no doubt that the nego tiations would terminate to the advantage of all the Proprietors. Mr. BURGE moved that the meeting be adjourned till the 7th of November. _ Weekly CAUSES OF DEATH.

The CHAIRMAN said the Act of Parliament com pelled them to give fourteen days' notice of each meeting. Mr. CRAWFORD said the Shareholders were exceed ingly anxious to know the result of the negotiations which had been entered into. Frederick Moore, cut and bruised. Michael Middleton, one of his eyes much injured, and otherwise bruised and cut. Samuel Osborne, slightly cut. Wilkinson, the guard, bruised on the head and breast. Indeed, out of the entire number of passengers, not more more than five or six escaped without injury more or less. Many will be laid up for weeks, and two are not expected to recover. As to the cause of the accident, I am sorry to have to impute it to gross mismanagement. Indeed, a more glaring case, or one more proper for investigation by the Board of Trade, perhaps never yet occurred. It appears the engine, named the Mountain, had been drawing the Shields trains to and from Brockley Whins, the junction station between Gateshead and Sunderland, where the line also joins the Great North of England Railway from Darlington to Newcastle on the preceding day, and up to the afternoon of yesterday, when it was disabled from an accident, and one of the engines used in drawing the coal-waggon trains, named the Nelson, was substituted for it, and the Mountain sent up to the station at Gates head to be repaired. The five o clock trains from Shields on Tuesday morning is a special one, put on for the ac commodation of butchers attending the Newcastle cattle market of that day; and an order was given overnight at the Gateshead station for an engine to go down to Shields at four o'clock, purposely to bring away the butchers' train at live. For some reason yet to be ex plained, this engine, the Leopard, did not leave Gates head till ten minutes or a quarter before five, and instead of going on the "down rail," as it ought to have done, it went along the " up rail." The Shields train being ready to start at five, and the passengers waiting, the Nelson coal engine was put to, and started with the train, and about two miles from Shields the engines met. The engineman of the Nelson, who has been appre hended, and is now in custody, says, naturally enough, he never expected to meet an engine on that rail, and when he did see it coming, he did all he could . by re versing the steam, and as he saw a collision 7 n ,. s unavoidable, he endeavoured to save himself by jumping off, and the stoker followed his example. The tender being and h in nw front thrown o the n off h engine,te line,y • as and h knocked t e platform tf o to ic rn e t es by the on which the engineer and stoker stand was upon also on t c h a e rri ed away, so that when they attempte d to got r Leopard on en gine after the collision had take n p lace, the y couldnot, as there was no place left engineman and stoker ofem to star!. The the jumped off, but after turning offthe steam, so that their engine was brought to a stand after the collision, they got on again, and brought it back to Gateshead. If the blame rest upon the engineman, then he who had charge of the Leopard, who had . been too late in se tti ng out from Gateshead, and who i e n to ru s n a n y, inghtehe is todOAm'sntoilrle a u Shields t a of f e t n h t e tuponwo, and the y w e r t o , n strange r rail, is surely whilst the n o g t i h n e e r man unfortunateand stoker man is remainedi t e upon w at c h t h - h e o N u e s e l 1 Had c large ble son, they would have been inevitably killed by the colli sion, jammed in between the engine and the tender. Mr. CLAYTON inquired if any time had be en fi xe d for the answer of the large companies ? The CHAIRMAN said no time had been fixed for a definitive answer. They could not call on th e par t y with whom they wer e negotiating to name a day for a definitive answer. The meeting was then adjourned -till the 7th of November next. mach contained about half a pint of darkish, thick fluid, which did not indicate any poison from the smell. The right side of the heart contained more blood than usual, and of a more fluid character than is ofen seen, but witness did not find sufficient there to cause death. He should, therefore, suppose that deceased died from a depressed state of the nerves, which state might be produced from sedative poison without leaving any trace of it. He had seen the small phial produced, and there was no doubt there had been poison in it. He believed the deceased died from opium. The jury found a verdict of " Feb° de se ;" and at the same time declared themselves unanimously of opi nion, that the conduct of Mrs. Page towards the de ceased during the time he was in a dying state was most unfeeling and unchristian, and desired the Coro ner to convey to her the strongest censure on her conduct. _ Total .... ..... ...... ..... 961 946 THE POLKA.—This dance, which has become so famous, is of recent Bohemian origin. A peasant girl, servant to a citizen in Elbekosteletz, a town th ree h ours distant fr om P rague , was on a Sunday dancing for her pastime, at the same time accompanying her steps with an air of her own fancy. The schoolmaster and or ganist, Joseph Neruda, having observed her movements, composed an air adapted thereto. The dance was after wards, for the first time, performed in public at Elbe kosteletz ; from thence it was introduced into Prague, where it obtained the name of Polka, thence migrated to Paris, where it acquired much celebrity, and finally extended itself to London, New York, and all the great towns on this and the other side of the Atlantio. The girl, the inventor of this far-famed dance, is now married in her native country. ADVANTAGES OF SAVINGS.—A calculation has lately been made by the actuary of a savings' bank, by which, if the labourer could be prevailed on to save two shillings a week from the age of twenty to thirty, he would be enabled, with a trifling assistance, to purchase an annuity of ten shillings a week after he arrived at the . age of sixty.—Savi ngs ' B an k Ci rcu l ar . -) The affair, as might be expected, has created con siderable stir in the neighbourhood. HOP INTELLIGENCE. (From the Maidstone Journal.) MAIDSTONE.—The hopping may now be said to be brought to a close, since the few grounds where the picking is still going F on will be finished within a day or two. Mr. Ellis 's plantations were all cleared last week, and his army of hoppers, amounting to nearly 2,000, paid off and discharged. From very careful and extensive inquiry we feel quite warranted in saying that this district, as a whole, including mid Kent generally, from which it must be remembered the duty is this year almost entirely made up, has fallen short its estimated produce ; in many instances the crop being one-third, and in others we could name full one-half below what was confidently cal culated on. Many instances have been reported to us where, instead of six bags per acre, only four have been realised—where seven were looked for, only five have been got—in another case a growth laid at ninety bags produced only sixty, and so forth. It stands to reason that the duty must yet come down, and that prices ought to go up. FARLEIGIL—Picking is over, and we have every reason to be satisfied with the result. IluNToN.—Our picking will be completed in a clay or two. We are not so well offour as neigh bours as to quantity , but our quality is excellent. L IN TON.—We have finished picking here with one fairly challenge the whole ex ception, and we may coxinty for the quality of our samples. „DLIED,Ex.—The plantations in this parish have STATE OF TRADE.—There was a very good de mand for yarn on Tuesday ; and, as the market was very bare of stock, rather higher prices were in many cases obtained, and purchasers were desirous of making con tracts for future delivery. The goods market, also, was very firm, and full prices were paid for nearly all de scriptions of Cloth. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, OCT. 7.—There has been another dull market to-day, demand very limited, and prices rather wavering. There is the same inactivity in the wool market ; but prices remain firm.—Manchester Guardian. COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.

From thence it will pass ever a densely populated mining and manufacturing district in the immediate vicinity of extensive iron, nails, iron hardware, glass, fire-brick, and numerous other manufactories, through the popu. lous towns of Bilston, Tipton, and Dudley, to Stourbridge, with a Branch Line between the two last-named places to Kingswinford, a neighbourhood abounding in mines and manufactures; and which towns and district, containing together a population of upwards of 200,009, are now (with the exception of Wolverhampton) deprived of the advantages arising from railway communication. From Stourbridge the Line will proceed to Kidderminster, which, with the neighbouring towns of Bewdley and Stourport, contains a po pulation of about 28,000. The great carpet manufactories of Kid derminster are too well known to need comment, and the principal portion of their productions is sent to London for sale. From Kid derminster the Line will proceed to Droitwich, where there are large manufactories of salt. Between Kidderminster and Droitwich a Branch Line will be made to Stoke Prior (joining there the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway), where there are extensive salt, soap, and chemical manufactories. The works at Droitwich and Stoke already consume not lees than 100,000 tons of coal per annum, and if brought into imme diate connection with the extensive coal-field through which this Railway will pass, the consumption will no doubt be materialy in creased. From Droitwich the Line will proceed to the City of Worcester (where there will be a Branch, about one mile, to the Severn, for the purpose of communicating with that river for goods). This City contains a population of 27,000. and is an im portant market for agricultural produce, hops, fruit, cider, &c., as well as the principal seat of the glove and porcelain manufactures in the kingdom. It is intended that the Line shall cross the Birm. ingham and Gloucester Railway about four miles from Worcester, between that city and Pershore, so as to afford a direct Railway cemmunication with Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bath, Bristol, and the West of England. From Worcester, to Pershore, Evesham, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-the-Marsh, and from thence, by the valley of Even. lode, to Oxford, the district is principally agricultural. A com munication with the Stratford and Moreton Railway will be made at the latter place ; and in reference to the advantages of this por tion of the Line it will perhaps suffice to make the following ex. tract from the Report of Lieut.-Colonel Sir Frederiek Smith, the late Inspector-General of Railways, who, with Professor Barlow, was employed by her Majesty's Government in 1840, to examine and report on the best Line of communication between London and Dublin : " We cannot close this Report without observing that, from the favourable nature of the country for a Railway from the Great Western Railway at Dudcot, and from thence to Worcester, and from the skilful manner in which it is proposed to extend the Line to the last-named city, we are of opinion that at no distant period this project will be carried into effect. This Line would take from Oxford nearly a central course between the Birmingham and Great Western Lines, and afford railway accommodation to a district which cannot derive much advantage from any other Line. " This convenience would extend even to Worcester, notwith. standing that the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway will pass at no great distance, for the length of the journey from London round by Birmingham will be at least 138 miles ; whereas, by the projected Line through Oxford to Worcester, it would be only 118 miles—a distance of twenty miles in favour of the latter ; and, taking Into account the greater average speed of the Great Western Riilway, there can be no doubt that at least one hour in time would be gained between London and Worcester, and the traveller would save from ss, to Cs. in his fare." With reference to the portion of the Line from Wolverhampton to the point of junction with the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway below Worcester, it may also be observed that, i• the year 1837 a Bill was introduced Into Parliament for making a Railway between those places, called the Grand Connection:Rail. way, the Line of which was greatly inferior to the one now se lected in respect of contiguity to the most important towns ; and the following is an extract from the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, who sat upon that Bill: " The present means of conveyance and communication have been proved to be insufficient for agricultural, commercial, manu facturing, and other purposes, as well between the proposed ter. mini as between the towns on the Line of Railway and towns to be connected with them by other Lines of Railway already sanc tioned. "The average amount of traffic by land is 61,1191. 49. ; by water, 45,3141. 2s. 3d. _ _ " The number of passengers expected on the proposed Railway Ls 10,440. " The weight of goods expected on the Railway is 282,690 tons and the description of goods are the staple manufactures of the towns which the Railway approaches, besides wool, grain, fruit, hops, cider, Manchester goods, groceries, teazles, coal, and other general merchandise and agricultural produce. " The amount of income expected to arise from the conveyance of passengers is 31,7511. 18,. 4d., and for goods, 74,680/. This amount of income is independent of that which the promoters of the Bill expect to derive from a new or increased traffic on the Line. The largest revenue on goods is expected to be derived from the carriage of the produce of the various staple manufactures of the towns which the Railway approaches, and a considerable income is anticipated from the carriage of coal." In addition to the Passenger traffic specified in the above Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, this Line will af. ford communication for Passengers from Ireland landing at Liver. pool, and from the north-west with the south-east of England, by means of the continuation of the Great Western Railway from Reading to Basingstoke, where it will be connected with the South. ampton and Portsmouth Railways, as well as its being a direct line to London, via Oxford, from the important towns and districts through which it passes. The Passenger traffic alone ought to afford a satisfactory return on the capital proposed to be invested; but when it is shown that this Line will supply the existing want of a direct Railway con. veyance to London and the south-east of England, for the produce of such extensive Colleries, Iron Manufactories, and other Works as support a population of upwards of 200,000 persons in the South Staffordshire and Worce,tershire Mining districts, and will also provide for conveying the produce of Kidderminster, Stoke Works, Dreitwich, and Worcester, and the agricultural districts intersected by it, to their appropriate markets, it may confidently be asserted that there is not a district of country in the kingdom now unoccupied by railway which affords so great a prospect of re. rnuneration. In addition to these claims on public attention and support, the Committee of Management have concluded an arrangement with the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company, conditional on the necessary preliminaries for proceeding with the Bill in Par liament being completed, and subject to the sanction of their Pro prietary, by which a guarantee of Three and a Half per Cent. per Annum on the estimated Capital, with half the surplus profits, will be secured to the Shareholders in this undertaking. And in the event of its being found necessary to expend a greater sum than 1,500,0001. is constructing the Line (but which amount is esti- mated to be more than sufficient for the purpose), the Directors of the Great Western Railway Company have agreed that interest on such additional amount, provided the same does not exceed 250,0001., shall be paid previously to any division of profits being made. The gradients on the larger portion of the line will be favour. able. The length of the line will be 90 miles ; and the length of the branch to Kingswinford two miles, to Stoke Prior between two and three miles, and to the Severn about one mile. The esti. mated population iii and closely adjoining to the Line amounts to upwards of half a million. The surveys for the best Line are being proceeded with under the superintendence of Mr. Brunel, with a view to the introduction of a Bill in the next session of Parliament. Power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum on the deposits, as well as on all future calls, from the dates of each payment till the opening of the whole Line. A Subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract have been prepared, and lie at the Company's offices for signature. The Scrip Shares, and all payments thereon, will be forfeited, without notice, should the holders thereof not sign the Subscribers' agreement and Parliamentary contract on or before the 91st De. cember next, Shares will only be allotted to parties either personally known to any member of the Committee of Management, or properly intro duced to them by letter; and, to prevent trouble, no other applica tions will be attended to.

The Nelson, in order to draw the five o'clock train from Shields, ought to have been there before that time ; she was brought down at rapid speed to make up for lost time, brought up, too, upon the wrong line, also to save the time required to alter the switches and go from one line to another, and met the train from Shields in such a part of the line that they had approached within but a short distance of each other before the danger of colli sion was apparent. The eng - ineman of the Leopard either grossly neglected his orders and general duty, or those in authority were not sufficiently specific in their instruc tions. Blame rests somewhere. On going down with the train to Shields this morning, to ascertain the particulars, I fell in with a commercial traveller who, for obvious reasons, wishes his name withheld, and he, it seems, had a narrow escape for his life, near the same spot the evening before. He had come from Darlington, having booked through to Shields, but on arriving at Brockley Whins there was no train to take him forward. He complained of the delay, and the station-keeper offered him a passage on the pilot engine, kept at the station. He accepted the offer, and placed his luggage accordingly on the tender. On their way down they met the Mountain engine coin ing up on the same line ; a collision was inevitable, and, to save himself, the genteman jumped off just before the engines met. He fell heavily on the ground, and was much cut and bruised about the head, and most provi dentially he was saved going over a frightful precipice by the low battlements of a bridge, against which he fell. After partially recovering himself, he had his luggage conveyed to a neighbouring public-house, and on search ing his pockets, &c., to see that all was right, he found himself minus his pocket-book, containing bank-notes amounting to 2731. He was engaged to-day in making inquiries after the lost treasure. Having had my attention called to the broken car riages at Shields to-day, I was curious enough to exa- mine of what material they were maee, so as to judge of their capability of resisting a strong shock. You may guess my surprise when I found them made of " touch-wood," the principal portion of the timber used being absolutely rotten. In proof of this I send you a portion of one of the carriages, taken from it with my own hands. Such a fact cannot be too severely cen sured. What are the Board of Trade about ? Are the lives of the public to be trifled with in this way ? Who was the maker, and where was the carriage made? us is a subjest which must be farther investigated,—. imes. HONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. CIIRONICLE.—The prospectus of the " New Gra nada Company" has been brought out, or, more properly to write, we should say that it has been officially an nounced that the New Granada Company " has been formed." We are told that this Company has been formed because the holders of Colombian Bonds " are not an associated body," and that, therefore, they are not in a situation to avail t selves of the proposals made by the Government w Granada for assigning to them, at a fixed price, to acco of the factories of the Republic, in payment of the interest on the proportion of the foreign debt of the Republic attaching to New Granada. The circular states that the New Granada Company is also ready to undertake the agency of the New Granada Company in London, in all matters re specting its foreign debt ; and with this end it has been already provided with a board of directors, six in num ber, who are to be remunerated by assigning to them " one-tenth share of the net benefits which may be made by the Company." It does not appear how or in what manner " the board " was called into existence. They appear before the public ready made to order, and not in the light of a provisional committee, or as holding office until their appointment should be confirmed by a general meeting of shareholders. Nothing of this kind is to be permitted. It is at once openly and unconditionally announced that the affairs of th e C ompany " are to be managed " by the Directors named in the circular, one of whom only is to go out of office annually, and " to be immediately re eligible." This is really taking care of the main cliance, and keeping the good things amongst themselves in a nice, snug little family way. It occurs to us, neverthe less, that it would have been more consistent with prac tice, if " the board" had been left open for the choice of the Shareholders, after the proposed capital of 200,0001. in 10,000 shares had been subscribed, and if time and opportunity had been afforded to the Bondholders, by means of a public meeting, to consider the proposals made by the Government of New Granada, and the proper course which should be adopted for the protec tion of their interests. It is quite plain that the opinions of the Bondholders should have been ascertained by a public meeting, previous to the constitution of this New Granada Company, of which more than the name of one member of the Committee of Bondholders appears in the list of self-constituted Directors. In Shares there was a fair amount of business trans acted. Another scheme for a line to Portsmouth has made its appearance, and has had the effect of lowering the price both of the South-Western and Brighton shares. It was also known in the market this morning that the Midland Company had determined on raising a fresh capital, to the extent of two-and-a-half millions, by an issue of shares of 404 each, on which 4 per cent. is to be guaranteed, for the purpose of forming branches to the south, in order to place an effectual check upon the pro posals for a line to York direct.. A good deal of excite ment and large speculative business was transacted in the shares of the companies competing for the line from Orleans to Tours and Bordeaux ; but as to-day is fixed for the awarding of the line, the doubts presently enter tained will be set at rest most probably in the course of to-morrow (this day). In the meantime, the shares of that which may be the successful company have been dealt in as high as 4 prem. SUN.—The Funds leave'off scarcely so good as in the morning.

' A FORTUNATE MAN.—About one on Tuesday ' morning a gentleman (whose name did not transpire), in a state of the utmost excitement, went to the station-house of the M division of police in South wark-bridge-road, and informed the inspector on duty (Mr. Cowling) that he had lost his pocket-book, which contained, besides other property, about 2601. in Bank of England notes. Whether he had been robbed or had left the pocket-book in a cab he was unable to say. Upon hearing this statement, the inspector proceeded to question the gentleman, who, in reply, stated that, at a late hour in the night, he met two women in the Borough, with whom he went to a public-house, where they had some refreshments ; they remained there until the house was closed, and it was then agreed they should adjourn to one of the night-houses in Darkhouse•lane, Billingsgate. Here ho ordered a bot tle of wine. After leaving the house, he and tho women walked to the cab-stand opposite to Fishmon gers'-hall, where he took a cab, and drove home. Directly after he had entered his residence he discovered that his pocket-book was missing, but whether he had left it in the cab, or had been robbed of it, he could not say. Upon Inspector Cowling hearing the above statement, ho asked the applicant if he should know the cab again in which he had been driven home, when the gentleman replied that he should know both the cab and the driver. Inspector Cowling then remarked that, from the lateness of the hour, in all probability the cab had returned to the stand at London-bride, and advised the gentleman to go there, sending with him a constable. On examining the last eab on the rank the gentleman at once identified :it as the same which had conveyed him home, when, calling to the constable, he proceeded, by means of the light from the lantern, to examine the interior, and to his ex treme gratification he found his pocket-book jammed between the cushions. To remove and open it was but the work of an instant, when it was found that the whole of the money was safe. By what means the pocket-book came in the position described was a mystery, as the gentleman had no recollection of removing it out of his pocket.

DROWAING, or MRS. HUGHES, OF I LAND —On Saturday last, Mrs. Hughes, the came wire of to the keep to pofutrheheasLe a winter'sighthouse,H st i e llz o l f sland, pro visions. She was a most fearless woman, and never hesitated to cross over to Cheshire with her horse and cart in any state of the weather. On this occasion she was detained in town rather late; and as the tide was making fast, Mr. Hughes concluded that she had deter mined to remain in Cheshire. Such, however, was not her intention. With her horse and cart laden, with a sack of flour, th ree s h eep, and other articles, she . boldly ventured on the sands, a stiff breeze blowing at the time. She had evidently not proceeded far from shore when :she found that the tide had too far advanced • and evidence was s een i n t h e track of the cart wheels of her endeavour to return. The shore opposite is lonely and deSolate ; but some ladies who lived inland heard cries, about eleven o'clock, of " Murder ! help, help !" but deeming them to proceed from cottages in the vicinity, they took no especial notice, and it would have been useless if they had, for there is not a single -boat of any kind along this shore. Next day the body of Mrs. llughes was found, her hands grasping the reins. The • horse and sheep also perished.—Liverpool Courier. v Y.) ale to „, yet aovcd ; were
