Messrs. H. M. and J. B. Ellicombe, Exeter. John Daw, Esq., Exeter. SECRETARY.—Mr. John Clench. Definitive arrangements having been made for the construction of a Railway by the Great Western Railway Company from Corsham to Yeovil, and of another important line under the direction of the London and South-Western Railway Company from Southampton to Dorchester; the object of the Exeter, Yeovil and Dorchester Railway Company is, by a Line of Railway from Yeovil, with a Branch from Dorchester, to direct these two large streams of traffic by one main channel, through a populous and thriving district to Exeter. This Railway will effect a more direct communication between the West of England and the Metropolis, and supply Railway communi cation to a country hitherto unoccupied, and form an uninterrupted chain of Railway by the Coast, from Dover to the Land's End. In addition to these immediate advantages, application is in tended to be made in the ensuing Session, for a Line from Basing stoke to Salisbury and Yeovil, which will still further very consider ably diminish the distance between Exeter and London. It will connect Yeovil and Dorchester with Exeter, and pass through, or near to, the Towns of Ilminster, Crewkerne, Chard, Beaminster, Bridport, Axminster, lioniton, and Ottery St. Mary, and will afford a Railway accommodation to the watering-places of Lyme Regis, Seaton, Beer, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, and the adjoining districts. The Committee, confident that this important undertaking will bear strict investigation, issue their Prospectus thus early ; and will at once proceed to complete the Surveys, enter into such arrange ments as they may think expedient, and take all the necessary steps for obtaining an Act in the ensuing Session. Power will be taken in the Bill to allow Interest at Four per Cent. per annum on all Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment until the opening of the Line ; and no liability will be incurred by any Subscriber beyond the amount of his subscription. It is intended to proceed to an early allotment of Shares, giving pre ference to local applicants ; but the Committee think it unadvisable that the whole of the deposit should be now called for. An instal ment, therefore, of ss. per Share only will be required on allotment, according to the provisions of 7 and 8 Vict., c. 110, applicable by the Committee towards the expenses of the proposed undertaking. The residue of the deposit will he payable in November next (un less any future order of Parliament should render it otherwise neces sary), and the Shareholders will be required to execute a Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract, the time and place of exe cuting which, and also for the payment of the residue of the deposit, will be notified in the " Times," the " Herald," the " Exeter and Plymouth Gazette," the " Western Times," the " Taunton Courier," the " West Briton," and the " Railway Times," newspapers ; and in case either of non-payment of the residue of such deposit as afore said, or the non-execution of the Subscribers' Agreement and Parlia mentary Contract when required as aforesaid, the said instalment of ss. will be absolutely forfeited, and the Shares appropriated to other parties without further notice. Further particulars may be obtained from, and Application for Shares made to, the Solicitors, the Secretary, or Messrs. F. and W. Atkinson, 611, Threadneedle-street ; Messrs. Charles and Henry Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street ; Messrs. Field, Son, and Co., 9, Warnford court, London; Mr. Thomas Sanford, Messrs. Beaumont and Lang worthy, Mr. G. 11. Gliddon, Exeter; Messrs. George Edwards and Son, Bristol ; John Hall, Esq., Liverpool ; Messrs. John Railton and Son, Manchester ; Wade, Esq., Temple-street, Birmingham ; or to Messrs. J. 11. and G. Ridsdale, Leeds. The Committee will be desirous to allot the Shares to unexception able parties in the order in which the applications are received ; in all cases where the parties are unknown, references will be required.

Mr. " Clerk of the Weather," don't take it amiss, That we trouble your honour with rhyme such as this, We were tempted to string a few verses together, On account of the singular state of the weather. Father Winter, for such a long time has been King, That we almost begin to despair of the Spring. Don't you think, " Mr. Clerk," if you tried the right strain. You could cause Father Winter to give up his reign ? If this were effected, much good would be done, And you'd greatly oblige Messrs. MOSES and SON. Then let us persuade you to make the endeavour, You know, Mr.." Clerk," you're remarkably clever. Tell Winter, the next time you meet in the sky, That thousands are longing to bid him " good bye." And pray don't forget, Sir, to lay a great stress On MOSES and SOS, and their present Spring dress. Explain, while the various facts you are stating, That the dresses for Spring are in readiness waiting. And while you descant on the dresses of MOSES, Tell Winter we all shall be glad when he closes, Of course, Mr. " Clerk," you are fully aware, That MOSES' Spring suits are remarkably rare, Yet none can assume, till the Winter is done, The charming Spring Garments of MOSES and SON.

The cock was put there on Tuesday night. The steam was got up on Wednes day morning. We had a great deal of trouble, for the engine still went at a snail's pace. There were a great many men pulling the fly-wheel round with their hands, or the engine would not have gone at all. I have not the slightest idea how the ex plosion occurred. I saw a bit of a stick applied tp keep the valve partly shut to keep up the power of steam. I cannot say who did that, unless it were Mr. Lowe, whe was at the safety-valve the whole time. I saw him work the valve several times, but did not understand the re turn of it. The fires were as low as possible, scarcely any at all, in fact the bars were quite bare. I let the fire out, because I was afraid something would happen. I should think that there were better than 60 lbs. of pressure on the square inch on Wednesday. I think there was sufficient water in the boiler. I was under Mr. Lowe's orders the whole time. I was up about five minutes before the explosion, putting down sacks on the gunge glass to keep the weather off. That would have no effect on the safety-valve. Grimes was on the top placing felt on the steam pipes. The sacks on the gauge glass were placed around it, leaving such an opening that the water inthe boiler might be seen. Grimes could not interfere with the safety-valve. I cannot form any conjecture as to the cause of the accident. I am of opinion that it was an over•pressure of steam that caused the explosion. I did not say anything to Mr. Lowe about there being too high a pressure on the boiler. The jury then returned to Poplar. The CORONER proceeded to address them. He begged of them to dismiss altogether from their minds all pre judices which might be present to their minds on this occasion, and he would request their undivided atten tion while be laid the facts of the case before them. These facts were contained in a very narrow compass. Mr. Samuda, they were aware, was engaged in some very extensive works, and the boiler to which their inquiries had been directed was required in the process of his works. The boiler itself was, with a solitary exception, stated to be in good working order, of good workman ship, and altogether, if kept within its own proper compass, as unexceptionable as it was required to be. He (the Coroner) could not help thinking that in this case there had been an undue pressure upon that boiler. On the last occasion of this kind on which he had met them, they might perhaps remember that he had in stanced the case of a cannon which had been sent to the maker in order to be repaired, which on its being tested burst ; and a verdict of man slaughter was brought in. The Learned Coroner then explained to the jury the limit at which man slaughter stopped and murder began. But be did not think that Mr. Lowe could have had any personal motive as required in the case of murder, for it would be clearly his interest to carry on the work without acci dent. But in manslaughter it was laid down, that although there was no intent to kill, yet if the act were manifestly improper, and resulted in death, then the person so acting was guilty of man slaughter. (Several cases in point were cited.) It would be for the jury to say whether Mr. Low e had used ordinary caution on this occasion, or whether he had exercised a recklessness that brought him within the operation of this law. He (the Coroner) entreated them to look to the trying and embarrassing situation of Mr. George Lowe in reference to this engine. It would appear, from the evidence, that the engine would not go freely, and he was, in common par lance, " trying it on," as far as he could, to overcome the difficulty. They were not to condemn the man because, in one particular instance, he had been unfortunate, if it was shown that, generally, lie had acted with a proper degree of skill and of cau tion. They must consider that in this case Mr. Lowe himself had been a sufferer; and if a man were present and using a reasonable degree of skill and caution, it would remove from him a criminal responsibility arising from a loss of life. (The Learned Coroner then read over the evidence in detail.) He was sure that they would give their fullest attention to this subject, and that while they gave every protection required for the preservation of her Majesty's subjects, they would not, at the same time, crush, by an ill considered verdict, the prospects of any individual, and perhaps by so doing be in some measure retarding the progress of the arts in this country. The jury retired to consider their verdict at a quarter to four, and again returned into Court at six o'clock. The Foreman then annouced that the jury had unani mously found a verdict of " Manslaughter against George Lowe," and they added their opinion that the machinery generally on Mr. Samuda's establishment was of a most defective character. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Day and Johnson, who have undergone several ex aminations upon suspicion of having robbed a lady of the name of Logan, who resides in Hanover-street, Hanover-square, of a purse containing bank-notes and other property, were again brought up. Mr. Robinson, who appeared as solicitor for the pri soners, and contended All through the investigation that they had nothing to do with the robbery, produced two witnesses of good character who deposed that they were present in a house in Smithfield when Day received two 51. Bank of England notes and four sovereigns, in pay ment for a chesnut horse, on the morning of the day on which he passed the two notes which he was charged with having stolen. The Lord Mayor and Sir John Pirie very closely sifted the case, which was ingeniously defended by the solicitor for the prisoners, and decided, evidently with reluctance, upon discharging them. The LORD MAYOR observed that the case was one of a very suspicious character indeed—that due diligence . did not appear to have been exercised in eliciting facts, and that in all probability the list of the property which the lady had either merely lost, or been robbed of, would be heard of, and might lead to future proceedings. It was directed that the bank note which had been taken by Mr. Morrison, of Cheapside, from Day, for clothes purchased by that prisoner, should be returned to Mr. Morrison. The Lord Mayor gave no direction with respect to the second 51 which Day had requested Mr. Morrison to get changed for him. The prisoners appeared to be rejoiced at being dis charged, and hurried away without saying a word. CLERKEIV WELL. SPA-FIELDS' BURIAL-GROUND.—Twelve o'clock yes. terday was fixed upon as the time at which the inquiry into the practices carried on in Spa-fields Burial-ground was to be resumed. At that time the poor widow Nelson, whose melancholy statement was published in this paper of yesterday, was in attendance. Mr. Wake ling, the vestry-clerk, the police-inspectors, and several of the most respectable tradesmen in Clerkenwell were also present. Much to the disappointment of those present, it was understood that the magistrate (Mr. Greenwood) who presided refused to entertain the matter, having no jurisdiction whatever in the shape in vl Mek it was brought before him. The poor woman, with tears in her eyes, informed the reporter that she had been to the burial-ground again on that (Thursday) morning, and in the most earnest manner besought of the manager to open the grave that she might behold her husband's remains, but he declined to do so, and with a sorrowing heart she was obliged to leave without any hope of having her wish gratified. The reporter visited the grave-yard yesterday, and thinks it right to state that he was treated with civility by Mr. Bird, the manager, and that several men were employed in filling up those graves which had been opened, and in opening others to satisfy the relatives of persons interred there. Mr. Bird said, the reason he could not open Nelson's grave was because she could not point out the exact spot; but a gentleman who was then present, and who was al!o present at the interview between the woman and Bird, said the woman had pointed out the place. The ground seems quite full, and the smell proceeding from such graves as were still open was most ❑npleasant. FREE-TRADE BAZAAR. MEETING OF LADIES. A morning meeting of ladies resident in Camberwell and Peckham, was held yesterday in the Lecture Room, Hill-street, Peckham, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. George Thompson, in explanation of the objects of the Free-trade Bazaar, to be held in Covent-garden Theatre in May next. The meeting was most respectably composed. On the motion of Mr. FARRAND, a member of the Society of Friends, Mr. J. A. Lyon, of Camberwell, took the chair. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then presented himself, and delivered an eloquent and impressive address on the great national objects which the League have in view, in promulgating the principles of free-trade with the nations of the world. He dwelt forcibly on the skill and industry of the productive classes of this country, and on the impolicy and injustice of those legislative enactments which prevent them from ex changing the products of their labour for those of other countries. He congratulated the country that the ques tion which he was then advocating—the abolition of all monopolies—was not a question of sect, party, or politics, but one of pure humanity and justice, in the advance ment of which persons of the most opposite politics, and of all sects of religion, were uniting. He showed that the opponents of free trade were every day lessening, and that vast numbers of its hitherto greatest an tagonists are now to be found in the ranks of its warmest supporters. He expressed his g p ra a ti t fi su c on a f t is i t o oh n ne at seeing so many ladies present, and his belief that the l w a i d t i h es th o e f lCadamiesberrewsiedlelnt in and the e ec v l a th ri a o va us w o • t o h u e l r d, in r metropolis, do all in their power to contribute, by the works of their own hands, their influence, and exer tions, towards the success of the Great League Bazaar. lie impressed upon his fair auditory, that as the time for holding the Bazaar was fast approaching, and that as the intervening space was short, the necessity for active co-operation on their part was, in proportion, great. He urged them to importune their friends, by the exercise of their pens, &c., for money contribu tions; and predicted that the Bazaar, according to the indications from all parts of the country, would be one of the grandest spectacles of the kind ever wit nessed in any country. The Learned Gentleman, whose address was listened to with the profoundest attention, was followed by Mr. A. L. Saul, of the League , who further elucidated the advantages which w ould arise to the country from the adoption of free trade, whose r pnn ciples he explained. A Ladies' Commitee f_othe districts of Camberwell and Pe ckham was then formed, i with eet power r e t r o a t a e d d d , t t h o theire ladies v t e h r e . s ational satisfaction wit h the proceedings. We understand that T. Dickenson, Esq., has been recommended to her Ma j est y by Sir Robert Peel, for the vacant Commissionership of Customs. Mr. Dick enson was for some years a member of the Commission of Revenue Inquiry, over which the late Lord Wallace presided, and has acted as a Special Commissioner under the Income-tax Act since' the passing of it.—Evening raper.

FUNERAL OF PROFESSOR DANIELL. - Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the remains of the late highly respected and much-lamented Professor Daniell, of King's College, were removed from the deceased's resi dence at Norwood, for interment in the family vault be: neath Norwood Church. The funeral, at the special re quest of the deceased's relatives, was strictly private. The hearse, drawn by four horses, was followed by two mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses, contain ing the relatives and friends of the deceased gentleman. Numbers of the inhabitants of Norwood out of respect followed the procession. THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT BLACKWALL. ADJOURNED INQUEST. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER. Mr. Baker, the Coroner for East Middlesex, and the jurymen appointed to conduct the inquiry into the deaths of the men Chapman, Grimes, Smith, and Wright, who were killed by an explosion at the works of Mr. Samuda, at Bow• creek, Blackwall, re-assembled yesterday at the Town-hall, Poplar. Mr. Ballantine, as usual, attended for Mr. Samuda, and Mr. Flower for Mr. Lowe, the engineer. The CORONER informed the jury that another unfor tunate man, named Neale, bad died on board the Dread nought hospital ship, and the jury having viewed the body, Mr. BAKER informed them that he had received a me dical certificate, stating that the important witness, Whitcombe, was in too dangerous a state to be removed, end it would be necessary, therefore, that his evidence should be taken at the London Hospital. Conveyances were ordered to be in readiness to convey the jurymen there. The evidence of Joseph Chettle, engineer, was read over, at the request of Mr. Flower. The witness was then examined by Mr. Flower—l am an engineer, and have been at the trade for about eight years. During that time I was in the employ of Mr. Samuda. I recollect that on the day of the accident Grimes, a labourer, was engaged on the top of the boiler. It was necessary that he should use a ladder to get to the top. Supposing that the ladder had slipped, the effort he would make to save himself would be to catch the lever. The effect of that would be, in the one case, sup posing the lever to break, to cause the steam to c scape, or if it did not break, it would keep the valve shut, and so cause an explosion. By the Foreman—The only part he could possibly lay hold of would be the main lever, which would compress the steam by shutting the safety-valve. Thomas Meriton, 4, hall-street, Poplar—l am an en gineer, and have been so for 15 or 16 years. The boiler in question was sold to a gentleman in Greenwich for 30 guineas, and afterwards purchased by Mr. Samuda, but for what sum I know not. Thirty guineas is not a third of its real value. It was a very good boiler. It was made for a low pressure. There was a steam chest in it, and that must necessarily cause part of the original boiler to be cut away. That would render the boiler weaker in that part. By Mr. Flower—l am aware that the boiler had been proved. It was tested by myself at not less than 501bs. to the square inch. By the CORONER—It was proved by the hydraulic pressure. It would be a mistaken notion to say that a pressure of 181 b. was all it could bear. It was only in tended, I believe, for a pressure of 12 or 151bs. I have no doubt it is the same boiler. By the Foreman—l tried it at 501bs. with cold water, but should not like to try above 301bs. with steam. By the CORONER-I cannot speak of the valves, for the mounting was not put on by us. It is quite requisite to have tw•o safety-valves. The mode of pitching the lever in this case was 'a very convenient one, and not in any way detrimental. Where there is only one safety valve it will certainly be more necessary to exer cise caution than when there is two. J. Burnand's evidence having been read over, the wit ness was subjected to cross-examination by Mr. Flower —I thought I was insulted by Mr. Lowe. lam not very exclusive. I had some words with Mr. Lowe about hammer handles. The jurymen thought that this cross-examination did not bear upon the point at issue. Mr. Flower was proceeding to address the jury, when The CORONER said that he could not allow any ob. servations to be made then ; and the jury left to take the evidence of the witness Whitcombe, at the London Hospital. On arriving at the Hospital, they were conducted to the ward where Thomas Whitcombe was lying. He was sworn, and said—l am an engine-driver. I have been engaged at Blackwall since June last.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. - -- - GLOBE.—The increased grant to Maynooth Col lege was the subject of two notices of motions last even ing in the House of Commons. Sir Robert Peel gave notice that he should, on the 3d of May, move that the House take into consideration the proposed grant to May nooth. Mr. Ward gave notice that he should, on a fu ture day, propose that all further money grants for the purpose of religion, be made out of the funds appro priated to the maintenance of the Protestant Episcopal Church. It will be at once seen that these two notices involve the entire controversy to which the proposed in creased grant to Maynooth necessarily gives rise. First, the expediency of the proposed increase. Secondly, the funds out of which the increased grant to Maynooth shall be supplied. The former applies itself to the pro priety of endowing Popery at all ; the latter raises the question, whether the very ample revenues of the Church of the minority ought not to provide the funds for this increased amount to the ecclesiastical school of the majority ? It is already known that the Premier intends to make this increased annual sum to Maynooth a permanent payment. It will there fore be no longer the theme of annual debate in the House of Commons, or of strife out of doors. The question, if settled now, will be settled once for all— this, at least, is the intention of the Government. _ . Sir Robert Peel--bas- -affoireff ample time for dell: beration. Whether the Right Hon. Baronet was desirous of feeling his way before he encountered the formi dable opposition, both within and without the walls of Parliament, which he is aware is preparing to meet his `proposal, and therefore fixed a distant day, to afford him time for oonciliating the malcontents on his own side of the House ; or whether, relying upon his subservient majority, he looks down from the height of his power upon the contemptible things which venture to lift up their puny voices ogainst his will—whom he leaves to complain, or to be silent, as they may be disposed— it may not be easy to decide. The six weeks will be employed in preparing for a resistance to this measure more formidable than any which the Government has had to deal with since its accession to office. We have some claim on the confidence of Minis ters, so far as pre-monitions of such movements are con cerned. We cautioned and warned them against the storm which was preparing for their factory-children education scheme in 1842. The tokens of that well arranged and simultaneous agitation, provoked by an uncalled-for attempt by the Government to cripple, if not to destroy, the Sunday and week-day schools of the Wesleyana, and other bodies of Dissenters from the Es tablished Church, resulted in that cordial union of the sectaries before:which the power of the Government was weakness. Have Sir Robert Peel and Sir J. Graham so soon lost the impressions made on them by the scenes which the House of Commons exhibited, night after night, in April and May, 1842 ? The table and floor of the House literally covered with petitions—the agitation out of doors increasing as the Government evinced a disposition to recede—until, at length, unable to subdue the storm it had excited, and fear ful of encountering its energy, the obnoxious measure was withdrawn. The same spirit has been again suc cessfully invoked. The same indomitable opposition is in preparation. The , stern determination which pervaded the different bodies of sectaries in 1842 and which they embodied in the many thousands of numerously-signed petitions with which they importuned the House of Commons to reject the measure—is rapidly taking possession of those stern hereditary adherents to Protestantism, and firm opponents of Popery in its creeds and practices. We write advisedly. We state with confidence that there will be an opposition as firm, as numerous, as well concocted and arranged, as energetically expressed in hosts of petitions as numerously signed, and as earnestly enforced, to this attempt to endow the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth out of the national revenue, as any measure which has ema nated from the expediency-guided Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel ; or would have been called forth had such a measure been proposed by a Whig Administration, and Sir Robert Peel had been prompted, by the hope of office, to denounce it—as he would then have denounced it—as a measure fraught with danger to the Protestant institutions of the land. The members of the Established Church in both countries will, to a very large extent, swell this torrent of discontent with the Premier's proposed endowment of Popery. To the na tional jealousy of the real or imaginary aggressive policy of the Roman Catholic religion which pervades the great s tants England will and be Scotland, added.
