DETERMINED SUICIDE.-011 Saturday morning, about five o'clock, as an engineer, named Henry White, was proceeding by Westbourn-green, Paddington, he beheld the dead body of a man suspended by the n. ck with a cotton handkerchief, one end of which he had fastened to the top of some wooden paling on the premises of the Great Western Railway Company. The deceased was im mediately cut down, and shortly afterwards removed to the station-house, Paddington-green ; life had evidently been extinct for some hours. The deceased, who ap peared to be about fifty years of age, was dressed in a black coat, waistcoat, and trousers, and Wellington boots ; a razor was found in one of his pockets, butt there were no papers of any description upon him by which any clue could be obtained with regard to his name or connexions. NOVEL WEDDlNG.—Tuesday forenoon a marriage took place at the parish church of St. George-iu-the- East, Cannon-street, which attracted much curiosity, and caused a large concourse of persons to assemble. The bride was Ann M'Cormick, an exceedingly pretty girl, who belonged to Rains's 1001. School, and the bridegroom William Channay, a smart young fellow, belonging to the Wellclose-square division of the fire brigade. Of the numerous institutions of which the great metropolis abound, there are few from which more positive benefits are disseminated than that of Rains's, near Old Gravel lane, in the parish of St. George-in-the-East. The be nevolent donor had by his will left a sufficient sum of money to support forty girls, to be elected from the pa rochial schools, for four years. At the end of that period they are sent out to service, and, upon attaining the age of nineteen, and their characters being irre proachable, they become eligible to draw in a lottery for a husband. Two marriages take place in every year, namely, one upon the merry Ist of May, or " Sweep's day," and the other on the sth of November, or " Guy Fawkes' day," and on the morning r,f each of those days a drawing takes place for the ls. of May or the sth of Nov., as the case may be, awl, Mi ss Ape". mack having drawn the* prize on the Ist of May last, was, of course, the next for preferme.e t. When the lucky ticket is drawn, the next thing to I , e done by its fortunate owner is to seek out for an eligiKe partner (not a Roman Catholic, for they, according 'Lo the will of the testator, are ineligible) in the parish e s of St. George in the East, St. Paul, Shadwell, or S. John, of Wapping, and this being done, notice is p,,ven to the trustees for their ap proval. In this im r ,tanec Miss M'Cormick's choice fell upon the " watertv,an-fireman," and the trustees, finding no reason to fi,D 7 , l fault with his good looks - or fair fame, nothing more was left but to go through the happy cere mony. In the evening, according to the usual custom, a dinner V.Jok place at the institution, at which the bride wad bridegroom, and several of their friends, attended, 'And after the health of the happy couple was given, the chairman presented the bridegroom with 'one hundred new sovereigns in a bag, as his bridal portion from the institution. tLII SUN, LONIjON, THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 7, 1844.

TUE TELEGRAPH AT THE ROYAL MILITARY AST CHELSEA.-It having been found that the steeple of the church, in course of erection by the Marquis of Westminster, on his Pimlico estate, at the corner of the fine new square recently formed, called Chester -square, and Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, will be exactly in the line of view between the telegraphs at the Admiralty and the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, which continues to Wanstead-heath and Portsmouth, and will prevent their working for the important purposes for which they were erected, the authorities have given permission for the telegraph to be removed from the Asylum to the Royal Hospital, which will do away with the difficulty, and answer the purpose equally well. The conditions upon which the removal has been sanctioned by the Ad miralty are, that the Marquis is to be at the sole ex pense. $ of removing the telegraph and the extensive machinery, and re-erecting the same in the appointed . position. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY. DARLINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—A special general meeting of the shareholders of this railway was held this afternoon in the offices of the Company in this town, for the purpose of taking lito consideration the propriety of authorising the Directors to make application to Par liament, in the ensuing iession, fur powers to contract a branch line of railway am a point in their own line at or near Cooper House, in the township of Dalton, to Richmond, in the county of York. S. 11. Witattisox, Esq., chairman of the Directors, took the chair, and in opening the business of the day said that the Sharehol.left present were all probably aware that recently a meeting was held in Richmond, which was very largely attended, tiih meeting having been held upon the subject of extending the Great North of England Railway to the town of. Richmond. At that meeting the subject was fully discussed, and the line proposed by this Company was :unanimously approved of. So fully was the subject then discussed that it was hardly necessary for him to go into detail as to the merits of the proposed scheme now. He felt it was a scheme which wouleultitnately prove of great advan tage to the proprietors at large. The resolution which he had to propose fur the consideration of the meeting was— " That it is expedient that this Company should under take the formation of a railway from a point in the new line, near Cooper House, in the parish of Croft and township of Dalton, to Richmond, in addition to the Harrogate and Ripon Junction Railway, which, at a special general meeting ,of this Company, held on the 15th ult., it was resolved should be undertaken; that the Directors be, and they areliereby authorised to order the necessary surveys and to take all proceedings that they may consider desirable, with a view of applying to Parliament next sessionfor an Act authorising the con struction of the above-Mentioned line of railway ; that provision be made in the - Act of Parliament for the pay ment out of the additional capital (authorised at the last special general meeting tti be raised by the issuing of new shares) of interest at the:rate of five per cent. per annum, to holders of such new ewes for the amount of their subscriptions till the works be completed, after which the new shares shall forin part of the capital stock of this Company." Mr. PLEws, a Directofrsaid he had one or two remarks to make upon the present position of this Company and railways in general. Ile would remind the Shareholders that this Company had lately increased its capital to the extent of 300,0001., and sooner or later the whole of that money would have to be paid up. He did not think that any Company had had more difficulties tocontend with since its formation in 1836, than; the present one. In the year 1836 there was a mania-for railways, but compared to the mania in that respect, which existed now, the one of 1836 was nothing. Soon after the formation of this Great North of Englandgompany the shares went down to a very large discount; and the Directors were com pelled to forfeit 3,500 shares, owing to persons who had put their names down for shares having refused to go on with them. These 1;500 Shareholders actually gave up 20/. p.r share. Thii would show how common it was, and especially at th present day, for persons to put their names down for shares without considering how they were ultimately topay for them. The difficulties with which this company, in consequence of this for feiture, had to contend were very great. On one occasion the Director i; amongst themselves had to raise 70,000/. in the space of fourteen days, and if they had not succeeded in raising that money in time, out of their own resources, the railway would have been stopped. These difficulties, however, were now being overcome, and the line was one of the n n g e r d e o s m s a . r y H i t e w a m s e f r o e r l these remarks prosperous to u s showin t the w k i personsy made who put their names con sider how they were ultimately to pay for them. The difficulties that arose from this want of caution, he was confident, would be very:severely felt by many Directors in the new companies which had lately sprung up all over the country. With respect to competing lines, he had only to say, that instead of the public benefiting by them, the public would be the parties to suffer. In the case of two competing lines, a compromise was the almost inevitable result, and then the fares which had for a short time, perhaps, been reduced, would be largely increased, and instead of one line, the public would have to pay for the cost of two. By a late Act it was pro vided, that a railway company should not divide more than ten per cent. profit. It would, therefore, be seen, that the public would be the parties most to be benefited by having but one line, .because every year that the re turns exceeded ten per cent. profit, a reduction in the fares must take place. The public, therefore, actually participated in the profits of the line. He merely threw out these remarks to guard the public against being led away by shadows. The resolutions were then unanimously adopted, and thanks having, amidst applause, been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. MANCHESTER, MONDAY EvErinvo.--At one o'clock this afternoon, a specialmeeting of the Shareholders in the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Rail way, was held at the Company's offices, in this town, " for the purpose of considering the expediency of, and if so determined upon, of authorising a lease to be granted to the Midland Railwaj Company, and the Northern and Birmingham Railway Company, of the line and works of the Sheffield, :Ashton-under-Lyne, and Man chester Railway, with all the stations, tolls, emoluments, and other property thereof, upon terms to be agreed to at the meeting, or to be arranged by the Directors of this Company, under powers to be deputed to them by such meeting and for other sp e cial purposes. The lease to be for a term of thirty years, determinable at the end of ten or twenty years, upon the following terms, viz.:—the lessees to pay all the interest to accrue on loans, also the rents, rates, working expenses, and every other charge to which the Company is liable, and to pay to the Sharehol - ders 5 per cent per annum upon a share capital of 756,0001., and 7f per cent. on a share capital of 144,0001. When the traffic amounts to 2,8001. per week, on the aver age of twelve months the dividend to be increased a half per cent. ; when • it amounts to 3,000/. per week, one per cent., with an additional increase of a halt per cent. for every 2504 per week, until it reaches ten per cent. The share -and loan capital not to exceed 1,500,000/. The guarantees to the Barnsley and Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways to be adopted by the lessees. The traffii of the Sheffield line to be managed by a Committie, to be appointed by the three Companies." It having been publicly announced, both in Sheffield and Manchester, that a counter proposition would be submitted on behalf of the Manchester and Leeds Rail way Company, offering to lease the line on more favour able terms, the utmost interest was excited amongst the Shareholders, and the result was perhaps one of the most numerously attended railway meetings ever held, up. wards of 200 gentlemen being present, a great portion of whom had travelled from Sheffield and other distant places purposely to attend the meeting. The chair was taken a few minutes after one by John Parker, Esq., M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. PLATFORD, the secretary, having read the adver tisement convening the meeting, which was dated Oc. tober 16th, Mr. N. W. PARKER, of London, and Mr. ROBERTS, of Chester, protested against the shortness of the notice, and stated that they had only received their circulars three or four days ago. The CHAIRMAN said the notice for a special meeting required by the Act was ten days, and the large attend ance proved that the notice had been sufficient. If any gentleman thought otherwise, he had better move an adjournment. Mr. PARKER said he would do so, but the feeling of the meeting being evidently against an adjournment, the business was allowed to proceed. The CHAIRMAN moved that the propositions of the Midland and Manchester Companies be accepted. Mr. ROBERTS, of Chester, supported the proposition of the Leeds Company, principally on the ground of their offering a greater per centage to the Shareholders in this line, namely, 6 per cent. Mr. C. P. YOUNG, of Sheffield, seconded the amend ment. A prolonged discussion followed, during which seve ral gentlemen supported the original proposition ; some spoke in favour of the amendment, and two advocated the continuance of the Company on its present indepen dent footing. At a few minutes before five the amendment was put and negatived, only twenty-four hands being held up in its favour, and nearly ten times that number against it. The original motion vas then put and carried amidst loud cheers, as was another, authorising the Directors to apply to Parliament next session for the necessary powers to carry out the arrangements. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and Directors, and the pro ceedings terminated. -- SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—We understand that nearly 500 shares have been taken by persons in Cardiff in this undertaking. During 'last week some gentlemen con nected with the Great Western Railway have been en gaged surveying the neighbourhood of Monmouth, Usk, &c., with a view of determining the best hne of road for the South Wales Railway. THE NEWPORT AND NANT-Y-GLO RAILWAY.—The surveyors are also busily engaged in surveying this line of road, when they intend next session to apply to Par liament for a Bill. CAPTURE OF A SUEEP-STEALER.-011 Friday last a man went to the shop of Mr. W. Rudge, candle manu facturer, at Pontnwyd, Newport. Monmouthshire, to sell a quantity of mutton fat which he had in a wallet ; and upon William Thayers, the foreman to Mr. nudge, examining it, he perceived piece% of meat, when he began to make inquiries, in answer to which the man said he bought it, the sheep baying died of water on the brain. This answer excited the foreman's suspicions, and he sent for police-constable Roberts, who upon searching the other end of the wallet found a sheep skin therein, and several pieces of mutton, which appeared to have been cut from the hind legs. The police constable took the man to the station-house, and delivered him into the custody of superintendent Roberts, who ascertained the next morning that a sheep, the property of Mr. John Edmonds, farmer, Panteque, had been slaughtered, and about 51bs. of the hind legs taken away, leaving the rest of the carcase in the wood adjoining the meadow where the sheep was killed. The prisoner was brought up the same day before the Revs. J. Prebert and David Jones, when upon the application of superintendent Roberts he was remanded until Monday, upon which day he was brought before the same magistrates, and committed to Usk for trial. MILLERISM MAD.—Mr. Ducker, the lighterman, of one of the largest houses in Brooklyn, on Saturday last discharged all his workmen, declaring the world would not last beyond the 21st inst., and probably not beyond the 16th.—American paper. Millerism is at this time making considerable stir in some parts of the States, and late papers give numerous instances similar in spirit to the above.—Liverpool Albion. THE LORD MAYOR ELECT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—At the request of some of my friends, who think that the public should be disabused of the false impres sions whiCh an article published in the Times, of the 30th ult., was calculated to raise, respecting my motives for not appearing as Lord Mayor Elect in the civic proces sion from Temple•bar, on the opening of the Royal Ex change, I must request you will allow me to avail my self of your ; columns to make the truth more generally known. I beg to state that in answer to an application from the Town-clerk as to what duty I would prefer to undertake on the 28th, I decided to form part of the out-door proces sion; when, on Wednesday, the 23d ult., the Lord Mayor informed me privately that he apprehended the expression of some unpleasant feeling towards me, which would prove an annoyance to her Majesty, and he therefore urged me to take duty in the Royal Exchange. I consented, but on the following day . I was advertised in the public journals as one of those intending to ride, and as, upon inquiry, I did not believe the accuracy of the informa tion upon which the Lord Mayor had made his request, I again expressed my intention of riding, and prepared accordingly. At one o'clock on Monday morning, 28th, the follow ing letterwas delivered to me from the Lord Mayor : " Mansion-house, Oct. 27, 1844, Twelve o'Clock. "My dear Lord Mayor Elect,—l regret exceedingly that any circumstance should have intervened to prevent the fulfilment of the intention you had formed on Wed nesday last of attending with your brethren in the Ex change instead of joining the procession at Temple-bar. I trust, upon a full consideration of all the circumstances of the case, you will permit the reasons by which you were then influenced to induce you to abstain from taking a place in the procession. " As Chief Magistrate of this City, entertaining the deepest anxiety that no circumstance should occur to interrupt the harmony which ought universally to prevail on this happy occasion, I deem it my duty to convey to you a knowledge of the opinion which I have heard ex pressed in so many quarters, that you are likely to be the object of a demonstration.of unpopular feeling, which the consciousness on your part of its being undeserved can form no justification for your unnecessarily placing your self in a situation to call it forth, particularly as your po sift, n in the procession so near to her Majesty would un avoidably make her acquainted with the existence of a feeling but little in harmony with the sentiments the oc casion should inspire. " If contrary to my wishes and expectation you should consider it your duty to ride, I can only say that it shall be my earnest endeavour to repress, by every means at my command, the exhibition of any such demonstration as I have described, and I feel it right to add I am satis fied that your intended compliance with my wishes on Wednesday last was dictated by a reflection upon what appeared due on the occasion, and not by any considera tions peril:mai to yourself. " I am yours faithfully, " MA(iNAY." , I appeal, therefore, to the good feeling of the public to judge whether I should not indeed have been wanting in respect to the Chief Magistrate of the City, and in loyalty to her Majesty, if I had indulged my own inclination after the receipt of such a letter from the Lord Mayor. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, MICHAEL GIBBS, Lord Mayor Elect. Walbrook, Nov. 4, 1844. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT SEA.—We deeply regret to record the intelligence of the death at sea, under peculiarly distressing circumstances, of one of the most intrepid and highly-respected captains in the American trade out of this port, Captain Simpson, of the Llan Itemney, Quebec regular trader, which took place on the 14th ult., as more fully stated in the fol lowing extract from the letter of Mr. Willoughby, the mate, dated Dover, October 27, 1844, and addressed to the owner :—" We have had nothing but heavy gales of wind on the passage home, and, on the 14th October, in lat. 48, N., and lon. 22 W., blowing a hurricane, and sea running mountains high, the ship scudded under close-reefed topsails ; at eight P.M. it was the captain's watch oa deck, when a tremendous sea pooped the ship, and carried away the stern and jolly-boat, and everything on the quarter-deck, with a quantity of provisions, and filled the cabin with water. I rushed on deck, and found the ship in a fearful state. The captain, cook, and boy were miss ing. I called all hands on deck to bring the ship to, and employed the men in taking in the canvas. I then found Captain Simpson and the cook lying on the forecastle deck, with their heads cut and bruised in a dreadful manner, and not able to speak ; all possible speed was made to get them below in the forecastle, and every attendance was paid, but it was all in vain ; the cook died at nine P.M., and the captain at ten P. 31. He died without a struggle. The boy was found in the main -deck, desperately bruised and insensible; he is still alive, but in a dan gerous state. The ship is not much worse."—From other sources we understand that the Llan Rumney, having_been struck by a heavy sea, Captain Simp son, the cook, and boy, had been struck by some timber, probably part of the deck cargo. The name of the cook is Grant Shield, of this town, and that of the boy Tom. The remains of the lamented cap tain were brought ashore yesterday, on the arrival of the Llan Rumney at this port.—Hull Advertiser of Friday. EXTRAORDINARY AND DISGRACEFUL OCCURRENCE. —On Saturday afternoon, a woman residing near Watt street, Hawkhill, Dundee, having occasion for water, went to a draw-well in the neighbourhood to procure a supply. In dropping her pitcher into the well, the cord broke, and the vessel fell to the bottom. Having pro cured the aid of some of her neighbours, they succeeded, as they imagined, in fixing a hook to the pit cher, commenced hauling if up, but instead of a pitcher filled with water, they were struck with horror on disco ver that they had brought up a coffin ; which, on being examined, was found to contain the dead body of a new born child. The coffin with its contents was conveyed to the office ' and in consequence of the activity of the officers, the following facts connected with this disgusting affair were soon discovered. The might named Rollo, who made the coffin, was traced out in the course of the evening, and through him the father of the infant, an individual " named Nicoll. It appears that the mother was delivered of the child, which was still-born, at her residence, Chapelshade, at a late hour on Friday night ; and the father, being a member of a yearly society, applied next morning for the customary allowance for the funeral of a child, which was immediately paid to him. He then bargained with a manufacturer of cheap coffins at the Hawkhill, who not only agreed to furnish it, but also kindly undertook to get the sexton at Logie, with whom he said he was well acquainted, to finish the interment cheaply—for a dram. The father, the undertaker, and another individual called oa Satur day morning on a public-house-keeper in Small's Wynd, in order to procure the means of paying the sexton ; but it is scarcely necessary to say that he was never called on to officiate. In the course of Sunday the father was apprehended, but was liberated on Mon day, it having appeared that the undertaker and his companion had left him in Small's Wynd, and gone, as he conceived, to the churchyard of Logie, but in reality to put the coffin with the dead body of the infant into the well. After his liberation, the father had to carry the coffin from the police-office to his residence, and from thence to the burying-ground, being accompanied by several officers to see that the funeral was completed. —Glasgow Saturday Post. FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE WHITECHAPEL WORK HOusE.—On Tuesday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the body of Mary Ann Baxter, age f thirteen. Catherine Brennan, a nurse in the White chaperWorkbouse, of which deceased was an idiotic in mate, said that on the 2d ult. they were in the females' yard, which is surrounded by a brick and mortar wall fourteen feet high, on the top of which is an addition of four feet, composed of bricks, having an opening of six inches between each, to serve as a species of trap for paupers endeavouring to escape. A strong wind on the day mentioned blew down about twenty-five feet of the upper wall, and some of the bricks fell upon the head of deceased, inflicting a wound on the crown of the head. She was placed under the care of Mr. Foster, the work house surgeon, and apparently recovered, but on Sunday last died in a fit. Mr. Foster, the surgeon, was of opi nion that deceased died from effusion on the brain, the result of the blow on the head. The Coroner and jury having viewed the wall, did not think it safely constructed, and the former undertook to write to the board of guar dians suggesting the proper remedy. Verdict, " Acci dental death." AN INCIDENT OF TIIE MAIDSTONE PLOUGHING MATCIL—A short time before the Maidstone ploughing match a young man who works for a small farmer in this neighbourhood asked his master permission to try his skill on the occasion. The master made several ob jections—particularly on the score of his team, which was not the best matched in the world. However, the man pressed his request, and at last obtained permission. He accordingly went to the match and took his station among the three-horse ploughs, amidst the jeers of the lookers-on, who were very merry . at the expense of his team, asking him if he meant to win with two old horses and a donkey—one of his steeds being very small, and the leader a veteran nearly thirty years of age. Still, nothing daunted, he persevered, and presently merriment gave place to admiration. Notwithstanding all his draw backs he finished his work second, and gained the first prise ! We may add that he was the youngest ploNgh ' man in his class, though his horses were the oldest.— Maidstone Journal. APPEALS AGAINST THE DECISIONS OF REVISING BARRISTERS UNDER THE REGISTRATION OF \TOMES ACT.—Up to Tuesday night twenty-seven appeals to the Court of Common Pleas against the decisions of revising barristers, under the Bth Vie., c. 18, a. 62, had been en tered for argument. There would have been a muoh larger number, but, in many instances, the same points arising, they have been consolidated. The principal por tion of the appeals relate to decisions given upon the question of lodgers' qualifications. After this day (Wed nesday) no further appeals can be entered, as the Act re quires it should be done within the first four days of the term next after the decision. Thecasesset down are from the City of London 4, Westminster 2, Bristol 2, Cam bridge 2, Taunton 1, north division of Northampton 2, borough of Northampton 2, Tewkesbury 1, South Lan cashire 3, Totnes 2, West Riding of Yorkshire 2, Bury 1, Lichfield 2, and Westbury 1. LoNGiviTr.—Three persons died in Stromness within the last fortnight, whose united ages were 277 years—being, respectively, 94, 92, and 91 years —pre-. served their faculties to the last, although—what seems very wohderful—the eldest had been deprived of sight and hearing for some time before, but had them restored in a great measure lately. Another person died a week before, in the same small town, aged 80. There is a woman living in Evie a hundred years old, said to be the "oldest inhabitant in Orkney. She, however, is not the person alluded to often under that designation, as she is in her second childhood, and remembers little or nothing, and cannot be taken as a general reference.—AG a Groat Journal.
