That the subject of a rail way was most important to the city of Wells every one would admit, considering that we were threatened with the removal of the assizes and sessions, &c., chic y from the want of a railway here. Mr. Seymour then entered on the subject of the great depreciation in the value of property in Wells within the last ten years, in consequence of our isolated position with reference to the want of the rapidity of travelling, &c., of ferded by rail ways, and concluded by reading the memorial, and mov ing its adoption by the meeting.—Mr. Geo. Lawrence, pest-master. then briefly seconded Mr. Seymour's mo tion.—Hobert Davies, Esq ,in the course of a short speech, observed that he felt as great an interest in the subject then before the meeting as any gentleman pre sent, and that his only object in rising was to suggest an addition to the memorial, pledging tt.e tn-morislists to their aiding the Bristol and Exeter Company in the construction of the line by taking shares in - the under taking, and thereby raising a considerable pot lion of the capital ri quired. Without some such disposition being, shown, Mr. D. expressed a very strong opinion that the subject would not be entertained by the Bristol and Exeter Company. Mr. D. added that he had no wish to disturb the unanimity of the meeting, his only object was to bring the subject before the company in the most forcible and effective manner possibl,.—Afcor some remarks from Mr. S. Rickhouse, Mr. Hippirley, Mr. Wilmott, and the Hey. Canon Bernard, the Mayor called for a show of hands by those who were against the adoption of the memorial, but Lot one was held up. His %Vorship therefore declared that it was unanimously - adopted, and then signed it on behalf of the meeting. —A vote of thanks to the Mayor was then moved by 11. Seymour, Eiq., seconded by the Rev. Canon Barnard, and carried with acclamation. 1 N ° . 18,070.] LONDON, FRIDAY " # • 7 AUGUST 23, 1850. [PRICE SD.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Aug. 22. (Bolore Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN THE MATTER OF RICHARD THOMAS SHEIL. This insolvent (highly connected). a surveyor of money presses at the Royal Mint, made an application for a discharge from prison, and a day to be named far the first examination. Mr. Duncan and Mr. Griffiths appeared for creditors; and Mr. Nichols for the insolvent. Although the application was only for a day to be named for the first examination, and for the discharge, Mr. Commissiener Phillips went fully into the case, on the point that debts had been incurred without rea• atonable expectation of paymefit. It appeared that the insolvent owed nearly 1.6001. He was appointed to his situation at the Royal Mint in 1848, at 200/. a year, with 10/. a year increase after the first two years. Ho pro posed to set aside 701. a year for his creditors, but the offer was declined. He had some time back petitioned the Court of Baakruptcy, under the Private Arrange ment Act, and proposed to set aside 1001. a year, which proposal he did not carry out. He had been engaged in some bill transactions with a person named Bevan, who had held a Government situation, and had bor rowed money and obtained wine of Mr. Holloway, the pill maker. He had lived in a furnished house at Green with of one of the opposing creditors when he was in volved in debt. On the part of the creditors it was urged, that if the discharge was granted the insolvent would not again appear. There was no security for his appearance, as iu a bail crse, and the creditors could place no confi denc. in him. A question was raised in the course of the case, whe ther the court had jurisdiction to entertain the case on account of the application in the other court, but no evidence was given whether the estate was or was not vested in the Court of Bankruptcy. A creditor who had cashed a bill of exchange with the insohent's endorsement, said he thought he was Richard Sheil, the Master of the Mint, and he was not aware that there were two Richard Sheils at the same place until afterwards. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS gave the parties an op portunity to settle; hut it could not be done, although the insolvent offered 1001.. and to pay 501. into court. His Honour said, that holding the scales in a proper manner, he could not say that debts had been contracted wi;h reaaoneble expectations of payment; and, therefore, uo day would be named. The REGISTRAR of the Court suggested that a day should be appointed. The application was for a hearing. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the case had been An application was made to dismiss the petition on the pare of the insolvent, to enable him to petition under the other jurisdiction, but it was refused. Mr. Commisasioner PHILLIPS said he might come up at the end of the vacation, and the Court would consider the imprisonment he had undergone. The insolvent was remanded to prison. BUCKS COUNTY COURT, Bedding, Aug. 1 9. (Before J. B. PARRY, Esq., Q.C., Judge.) CIIAPNAN V. STANFORD, M.P.--ELECTIoN FAVOURS. This was an action to recover the sum of 18/. for goods sold and delivered, in the shape of rosettes and favours used at the late election for Reading, in the room of Mr. Justice Talfourd. The case excited considerable local interest, from the fact of several other actions being likely to be commenced. Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. S. Williams for the defence. The plaintiff and another witness were examined, and proved the delivery of the articles to different members of the defendant's committer.. The defence was that the extent of the order was only to the amount of 51., which they admitted; but the plaintiff produced a letter from the Hon. Member, wherein he desired him to go to the committee-room and take orders, and no limit was spoken of in that do cumetit. Judgment, with all costs, for the plaintiff. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. TRIAL OF DIXON I)AWSON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. BODKIN replied shortly upon the evidence adduced on b , half of the prisoner. Mr. Baron PLATT summed up, and The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly re:am:mended him to mercy. Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced him to ten years trans portation. The case did not conclude till nearly four o'clock. COMPLAINT AGAINST AN ATTORNEL—The Sheriffs hauing called the attention of his Lordship to a com plaint that had been made to them by the wife of the man Percival, who was convicted on Wednesday of at tempting to drown a gentleman named Shirreff, and sentenced to be transported fur life, he directed that Mr. %V. B. Diaries, an attorney, against whom it was made, should stand forward and give an explanation. Mrs. Percival having been sworn, stated that she had given Mr. Davies 4/. for defending her husband. She at first gave him 2/. to employ one counsel, and he after wards obtained 21. more from her, for the purpose of en gaging a second counsel, which was not done. Mr. Davies, in explanation, said that in the first in stance he received 21., and he gave Mr. Payne, who conducted the defence, 11 3s. 6d. He afterwards advised that a leading counsel should" be engiged, and he told Mrs. Percival this could not be done without a further sum of 21. 4s. 6d. She gave him 2/., and promised to bring 4i. 6d. more the next day, and as she did not do so he, of course, could not fee a second counsel. Mr. Baron PLATT —Then you kept the second 21. for doing nothing. Mr. Davies—l prepared the brief, and have it here. Baron PLATT said he thought the 21. ought to be given up. Mr. Davies said he had not got the amount in his pocket. Baron PLATT said if all were not given up he would direct an indictment to be preferred against him. It was monstrous that a poor creature anxious to defend her husband should be treated in such a manner. Mr. Davies said be would bring the money, the next morning. Baron PLATT —That will not do. The money shall be returned before the grand jury are discharged. Mr. Davies, up o n this intimation (rem his Lordship, said he would get the money in half an hour, and shortly afterwards it was stated that he had refunded the amount to the complainant. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) AN IRRECLAIMABLE THlEF.—Henry Tucher, 19, tailor, pleaded guilty to an indictment for stealing a coat two pal. of trousers, and other articles, the property of Lord Ashley. Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prosecution, and said that in this case the prisoner had been before convicted and sent to Tothill-fields, and having been recommended by the chaplain of that prison as a fit object. he was ad-. mitted in April to the Ragged Dormitory, Westminster, intended for the reception and preparation of persons for emigration under Lord Ashley's plan. He stayed until the middle of July, when he absconded with the clothes found him by the society, sad ekvu, e • pair POLICE IN TEL LIGENCE. MANSION -HO USE. FALSE WEIGEITS.—A man named L , uis Myers was on Tuesday brought before Alderman Gibbs upon the fol lowing charge:— Mr. Turner, assistant-inspector of weights and mea sure?, said—l was in Lower Thames-stte , t, with Mr. Harvard, the city of London inspector of weights and measures, and I saw the defendant selling nu's there with this weight (producing a weight which appeared to be a half-pound weight). It is only a quarter of a pound weight. I was not near enough to him to see whether. he sold the nuts by it as a half pound weigh.. Upon examining it I found it to be untanaped. There is a fictitious stamp upon it. and impositions are constantly practised with weights of this kind. r got bold of the weight, and he snatched it away. He had a barrow with his nuts, and there was a machine upon it. There are two other weights which he had in his possession, and which are also unstarnped. A policeman said, I was called by the inspector of weights and measures in Thames-street, and took the defendant into custody. I saw him try to throw some thing away, add I afterwards picked up the two weights which I produce.—(A weight which was spreal out to appear like a pound weight but was no more than a half• pound, was then produced.) Turner, the assistant inspector, added—The hal pound weight produced was in use on the occasion. The other weights he had in his pocket, to be used, no doubt, when opportunities occurred. Mr. Harvard said the defendant had-been marked as a dealer in the unfair way described, and contrived, by , substituting the expanded weight, to charge his cus tomers just double the quantity be,sold, so that the trick was more profitable than the old one of cbeating by light weights. The defendant was in the habit of let• Ling out barrows, which were supplied with similar bad weights, and he gave a wrong address on being ap plied to. Alderman Gums said he had heard of the extraordi nary success with which the ingenious deception was practised, and had given directions to the police to watch the movements of the numerous vendors in the streets. He trusted that buyers would be on their guard against the barrow gentry, who were thus availing themselves of the appearance of the weights to inflict a heavy imposition. The defendant said he never had used the weights for more than they actually represented, and pleaded that he was justified in using stamped weights, whatever their appearance might be. Alderman GIBBS said the weights were not only made for the purposes of deception, but were unstamped, and the defendant must pay the penalty of 205., or go to Bridewell for 14 days. The weights were, of course, forfeited. Thedefendant declared that nothing should induce him to pay the penalty, and his commitment was accordingly made out, and he was sent to prison. Next day, after the routine bu,iness of the justice-room was ouncluded, the defendant, who did not relish the in terior of our City prison, having paid the penalty, and re leased himself trom the disagreeable alternative, walked into the presence of the Alderman, and said he was de termined to " pull" the witnesses for p e rjury committed in swearirg that the weights which had been taken from him were unstamped. He produced a weight which he said was the counterpart of one of those which had been taken from him, and said that nobody could deny the fact that it was a legitimate weight. lie had purchased it of a tradesman, who assured him that it was regularly stamped. Alderman Gitlin said the weight produced was not City stamped, and was not recognised by the City autho rities. He also informed the defendant that there were some tradesmen who refused fictitious stamps, and that the weight produced was one of that description, and he advised the indignant costermonger to exercise due caution in pursuing his trade, as he might meet an in quisitive policeman at every corner. JOSEPH Any AT WORK AGAlN.—Joseph Ady ft voured the Lord Mayor with the following communi cation:— " 13 & 14 Viet., cap. 61.—August 14, 1850.—Act to extend the Act for the more easy Recovery of Small Debts, &0., under 501. at the County Courts. "My Lord Mayor,—The Act above quoted is lying before me. lam of opinion that it supersedes all former Acts relative to debts, &o.; that it is beneficial to cre ditors by enabling the Judge of the Sheriffs' Court to give time to a debtor to pay by instalments, instead of imprisoning him with felons, to gnaw his food like dog., even when he has no teeth, and for no other crime than poverty.—Respectfully.!osEmADx.—Aug. 19, 1850." BOW-STREET. PrcKING POCKETS.—J. Tuyfor was charged with picking the pockets of Mr. J. W. Watson. The prosecutor stated that, shortly before ten o'clock yesterday, he was passing along Wellington-street North, when ho heard footsteps behind him, and immediate]) afterwards the prisoner d.rted by him. This attracted his suspicions, and he found his handkerchief was gone. He followed the prisoner along the Strand, when, finding that he was being pursued, h threw the handkerchief into the road, and endeavoured to make his escape, but was stopped by several persons who were following in the chase. fainasinaila similar court.

NOTORIOUS IMPOSTORS. --Si mon Teza Dembicki, a Pole, well known as an imp ostor , Count Dembicki, Col. Count de Shart yling himself the tachcd to a crimson ribbon upon his .c l o e , f wearing a star left breast, and Joseph Rosbrowshi, a fellow countryman, described as " his man Friday," were charged with attempting to im pose upon the benevolent. Hereford, chief officer of the Mendicity Society, stated that seeing the two prisoners in St. J ames's-street about ten that morning, be watched them closely hours, and saw them make a variety of oa ir ls or some on they route from Rupert-street to Pimlico, at Whi c h latter place, having procured the assistance of a police onsta b'e, he took them into custody, and found the c - following petition upon Dembicki, which be had seen hi m to persons at different houses where he solicited presen t i alms, in company with the other prisoner:— " Subscriptions in favour of Col. Count De Skar- becke, who came from Amerika , and will returningat his famine in Poland." (To the above was append e d t h e names of several subscribers for various amounts.) At the time the prisoner knocked at the various door s he put on a very handsome crimson cap with a gold b an d and tassel, and with the star upon his breast cut a very imposing figure. Mr. BURRELL inquired what the officer knew of the pri soners?—Horsford replied that Dembicki had been re peatedly convicted from nearly every police court in the metropolis. He had repeatedly seen him smoking his cigar and taking his wine at a tavern, and he had been very successful in his operations upon the benevolent. The other prisoner, who went by the appellation of " his man Friday," had been committed with him for three months from the Lambeth Police Court. Upon being asked what he bad to say, Dembioki af fected the most profound deafness. Hereford intimated that this was assumed, from re membering that he bad played the same trick when be fore in custody at this court; he had that day, in the course of watching the accused to Pimlico, passed and repassed close to them several times, and found by their conversation that Dembicki's hearing was excellent. Mr. BURRELL committed them both for three months to the House of Correction, a sentence which Dembicki ap peared to hear with SOUTHWARout the sli K.ghtest difficulty. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. R.

Captaiu Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.13., is slaying at Brighton. The vacant appointment of inspecting -commander of the coast-guard, caused by the death of Comniander Morritt, has been given to Commander James Archi bald Macdonald (1848). Commodore Lord John Hay, C. 8., mustered, in spected, and paid advance, on Wednesday, in Plymouth Sound, the Thetis, 36, Captain A. L. Koper, C. 8., and the Salamander, 6, steam-ship, Commander Ellman, these vessels having previously been swung for the adjustment of their compasses by the Queen's harbour master, Mr. Thompson. The Thetis, as we have stated, is ordered to Spithead, and the Salamander has drawn her charts, and was to proceed yesterday to Rio, the Capd, and the East Indie3. The new signal-lights now under a course of trial on board the Blenheim, 56, screw-ship, Capt..iu Henderson, C. 13., at Spithead, are the invention of .Mr. Thompson, late surgeon *of the Odin steam-frigate, and are intended to be worked as a telegraph at night. The different positions of the lights represent the different numerals, and are to be deciphered by the common day telegraph book. It is said this night telegraph can be perfectly made out at the distance of two miles and a half. It is now being worked between the Blenheim at Spithead, and the Victory in Portsmouth harbou. Mr. Brown, master of the Agincourt, der:at-ship of the ordinary, with a party under his charge, embarked yesterday in the Confiance steam•tender, and sailed from Devonport for Liverpool, to navigate the Bacchus to the former port. A proposal has been made to the Admiralty to substi tute Mitchell's screw moorings at Woolwich for the or dinary moorings. Apollo troop-ship, Commander Rawstorne, has been docked. She has to have new copper. Her old copper rips off like brown paper. She is to be got ready to leave for the West Indies by Sept. 10. Fox, 42, Commodore Lambert, has hauled of along side her hulk. She is nearly ready for service, and will probatly go to Spithead about Monday next. Linnet, 6, packet-brig, Lieut.-Commander James, was taken out of No. 5 dock at Devonport on Tuesday ; and the Portland, 50, taken iu the same tide. Magicienne steam-sloop,: left Chatham on Wednesday for Devonport in charge of the master of the fl at Sheerness, with 25 seamen riggers from Chatham, and 25 from Sheerness. Niger screw sloop-steamer, Commander Heath, em barked the mails fir the coast of Africa on Tuesday, and sailed from Devonport the following morning. Poictiers, 72, ordinary guard ship, Captain Richards, C. 8., is to be put out of commission on the 30th inst., tend tne Cumberland, 70, fitting as ordinary guard ship, will hoist tie pendant on the 31st. The officers and men of the Poictiers are to be turned over to the Cumber land, which ship has got her main deck and quarter deck and forecastle guns on 13,,ard. The lower deck guns are not to be put on board. Tiger steam-sloop has been masted at Chatham, and taken into dock, to be fitted for service at sea, previously to being sent round to Portsmouth to form one of the reserve squadron. Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, has had her old copper stripped off. She is undergoing a thorough caulking previous to receiving new copper. She is progressing in her rigging; her topmasts are fidded, although as yet she has but few men. Seamen do not like large ships, and as there are such a number of stea mers fitting, she will not get her small complement of seamen till these are manned. The Vengeance will be completed by the dockyard by the 31st.

ADMIRALTY SURVEY OF THE BLACIEWATER RIVER. —Commander George A. Frazer, of the Sparrow, has made a report to the Lords of the Admiralty on the ob structions to the navigation of the river Blackwater, in which be say‘:—" I have the honour to inform you that in the river 131ackwater, between Youghal and Liswore, u distance cf nineteen miles, there are altogether no less than thirty-four a.hing-weirs; four below the wooden bridge near Yough a l, an d thirty above it. Many of these weirs appear to ma to be very objectionable, especially those extending from bights or bays, and which are in every case carried to beyond the natural low-water curve, and almost to the middle of the river; they have accumulated deposit to such an extent as to make their extremities the actual low• water mark. Most of the Blackwater weirs are quite close, being basketed up with wickerwork, and therefore admirably adapted to intercept and catch all matter carried in suspension, and to cause its deposit. The weirs below the bridge are, I consider, unobjectionable, as they are so placed as to give a better direction to the scour, and, therefore, im provement to the channel or harbour water. I am of opinion that almost all weirs tend more or less to do harm, although many may be so circumstanced as not in any way to interfere with its navigation. Ido not feel competent to offer an opinion as regards their effects upon the fish of a river • I may, how ever, preiluine to remark that the style of weir used in the Blackwater being so very close, must tend in a great measure, I thick, to cause that great scarcity i n the quantity of salmon ao much complained of lately, for they, each tide, catch enormous quantities of salmon fry, which it is a common thing to see the country people carry away in baskets full; a fact I witnessed several timee, and which I am assured by an intelligent person conversant with the question does a vast amount of damage to the salmon fishery." CANAL SCREW STEAM NAVIGATION.—On Saturday en experiment of an interesting character came off in the presence of a considerable number of spectators, at the Canal Harbour, Portobello Bridge. Its object was to test the applicability of a new screw-propeller to the purposes of canal navigation. Many attempts have heal made from time to time to work canal boats by the aid of steam-power, but hitherto they have been at tended with but a questionable success, the motive agent being in every instance applied so as to disturb the water violently, and thereby cause injury to the banks of the canal. To do away with this formidable diffi culty Mr. O'Regan, the projector of the improved screw-propeller we are about to describe, brought his practical knowledge of machinery into requisition, and with a degree of success which could scarcely have been looked for. The machinery connected with the propeller is of the simplest character, and occu pies but a very limited apace in the interior of the boa!, which has been built by Mr. O'Regan himself, without the least assistance from any quarter, at an ex pense of 3301. It resembles, in size, shape, and general appearance, the ordinary iron fly-boats employed on our canals, and which have hitherto been worked by horses only. The steam is generated by a vertical tubular boiler, to which an engine of six-horse power is attached. The cylinder is 54 inches in diameter and of 10k- inches stroke, the pressure being 501 b. to the square inch. A screw, 2 feet 4 inches in diameter, and consisting of two arms, is mounted in the stern, immediately behind the rudder; attached to which is a horizontal axle of consi derable length, passing longitudinally through the bottom of the boat, as near to the keel as practicable. A driving band, worked by a large wheel, causes this axle to revolve . with great rapidity-90 revolutions being produced in each minute, and four times as many revolutions of the screw. The chief peculiarity is the position of the axle and screw, the former of these being placed extremely low down, so as to enable the screw to work at a considerable depth in the fluid, an arrangement which materially aug ments the propelling power, and at the same time causes as little commotion as possible in the upper stra tum of the water. On Saturday, at half-post two o'clock, the trial took place. The boat, laden with a weighty cargo of passengers, quitted Portobello Har bour, and steamed her way bravely, at a speed varying from three to five miles an hour, as far as the first lock. The journey back was made at a still greater speed, a rate of five miles per hour being maintained throughout, and Mr. O'Regan undertakes to secure an average speed of six miles an hour, or even more. When Fulton's grand experiment came off upon the Hudson River five miles an hour was an average rate of motion obtained, yet even that speed was then looked upon as a wonderful achievement. There is, therefore, every reason to be lieve that, as time advances, a progressive improvement will take place in the machinery now, through Mr. O'Regan's successful enterprize. The spice occupied by the engine is only 3 feet 4 by 2 feet 6, and the width of the boiler is about 3 feet. The engine consumes 6 cwt. of coal per day, and the entire cost of the propelling power, inclusive of fuel and the wages of the enginemen and firemen, is, according to Mr. O'Regan's estimate, only 4•l. a mile —while the cost per mile, where the motive power is supplied by horses, is no less than Is. 9 d. — Saunders' News Letter. PORTSMOUTH, THUASDAY.—Captain Henry Chads (son of Captain H. D. Chads, C. 8., of her Majesty's ship Excellent), late of the Styx steam-sloop, which, under hi► command on the Coast of Africa, made 27 prizes during about two years' commission, is selected as the Flag-C ptain to Rear-Admiral Fairfax Moresby, C. 8., the newly-appointed Commander-in-Chik-f on the Pacific station. Captain Hamilton (to whom the ap pointment was offered) having declined it, Commander James Prevost, eon-in-law of she Admiral, is the Com mander; Lieutenant Fairfax Moresby, of the Encounter screw corvette, (son of the Admiral), is the Flag-Lieu • tenant; and Mr. Moresby Clerk (another son) is to be the secretary, if this notice does not shame the Admi ralty out of tolerating so gross a family job. The se cretary to a commander-in chief should be a man of sound jungment, well-tested discretion, and practically acquaiated with at least minor mares of diplomacy. At all events, he should be a man of mature years. But in the present case the gentleman selected is, if we nre rightly intorm•d, not more than 19 years of age. Tie his had no c x .crience as a clerk, for he has not even •'passed," and his name does nit, consequet tly, appear in the Navy LiA The idea, too, of sending out an Admiral in a small frigate (the PorCand of Java, one of which will be commissioned in a few hours for this service) to such a station as the Pacific is a weakness we did not ttink the Admiralty would ) be guilty of c , eumitting a second time. It is far more essential to have an able line-of-battle-ship on the Pacific than on the West India station, as in the latter case'we can detach a home force (such as the Likbou squadron) in 21 days, in - case of need; but in the former no such ready facilities for anon; flung the 'strength of the squadion in an emergency exists. The Adventure naval traosport, Mr. Wellington, Master, R N., Commanding', arrived this morning from the Brazils and Coast of Africa stations. Her news from the former has been anticipated by other arrivals. She left Ascension on the 7ch of July. Captain Hutton, the Governor, and all on the island were well, and well off for provisions. The Contest, 12, Commander the Hon. J. W. S. Spencer, had left the station for the Ernst Indies. The Centaur steam•frigate, Commodore Fanshawe, C. 8., had been two months at Ascension, but sailed on the 2d of July for the Bights. A court of in quiry had been held on board the Snap tender, about a fortnight prior, relative to the conduct of Mr. Carrington, clerk, who was subsequently dismissed from the service by the commodore. Drunkenness was the cause. Mr. Fetes, late clerk of the Bonetta, was appointed to the vacancy. Captain Buckle, flag-captain to Commodore Farnham?, we regret to announce, was very ill at the date of our advices. The Adventure brought a mail and 21 invalids from theAfricap squadron, and a freight of 30,0001. sterling in gold dust from Rio. The invalids have been sent to Raider, and the freight will be con veyed to the Bank of England to-morrow by Messrs. Chambers, the freight agents of this port. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

We may observe, in conclusion, that we have been much struck with the neatness and clearness of these ac counts, and with the admirable form adopted of making them out. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY -Already there is con siderable traffic on the new line, the long-distance pas senger trains being generally well filled, and the number daily on the increase. The time by the fast trains is well kept; and the distance between London and Peter borough (76 miles) is usually accomplished a few minutes within 2i hours. Through passengers from Hull may be interested in hearing something of the route by which they travel. From Huntingdon to London, the scenery so well known to travellers by the- old stage coaches, is again open to view, the railway taking the picturesque route by St. Nest's, Sandy, Biggleswarle, llitchin, Wel wyn, Hatfield, Barnet, and Hornsey. The Hertfordshire portion of the line presents a panorama of surpassing beauty; there are several cuttings, and no less than eight tunnels between Hitchin and London; but at every opening the view of hill and dale, and woodland scenery, is strikingly impressive. It skirts the fine domain of Knebworrh, near Stevenage (the property of Sir E. B. Lytton, Bart.), and the turrets of the mansion, sur mounted by a large fl ag waving in the breez-, are visible ah ,ve large clusters of oaks and limes. It also, near Potter's Bar, passes through the Hert fordshire estate of Colonel Sibthorp. A little more than a mile from Welwyn is the Digswell viaduct-a work of the kind not second, either in the skill displayed in its construction, or the beauty of its appearance, to any in the kingdom. It consists of 40 semicircular arches, of 30 feet span; the height from the surface of the water to the top of the parapet is 100 feet, and the length cf the whole erection is 1,563 feet. The arches are built with four rings of brick-work in cement, and with ad ditional four rings forming the back ribs. The piers, which have a light and graceful appearance, are hollow from the surface of the ground, in the cellular form, with stone-work inclosing the cells. There are 40,000 cube yards of brick-work, and 50,000 feet of stone in the structure; the number of bricks actually used was six teen millions, and the cost of the erection was 75,0004 or 80,000/. The viaduct is the largest in the kingdom, with two exceptions-those at Stockport and Congleton, and neither of the latter is either so light or so elegant. From this spot, rich pastures and cora lands extend far away, embosomed by stately woods, which, circling round, seem like the galleries of a vast amphitheatre. Tewin Water, Brocket, Dockleys, and other seats, dot the ne ar l an d scape, and through ' an °penis g in the trees a glimpse is obtained of Hertford Heath, and, rising above the loftiest woods, the tower of Little Berkhampstead. There is another viaduct in the parish of Welwyn, called Robbery viaduct (said to have derived its name from the frequency cf highway robberies there at a former period). This con sists of seven semicircular arches of 22 feet span, and 60 feet high from the top of the road to the parapet.- The new carriages of the Great Northern Railway are so lofty that a man six feet high can stand upright in them. RAILWAY TO WELLS.-In consequence of a requisi tien, numerously and respectably signed by the citizens of Wells, the Mayor, E. N. Wells, Esq., convened a meeting, which was held on the 20:h inst., for the pur pose of considering the propriety of memorialising the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company on the necessity of a speedy construction of a railway from Wells to Bleadon, in pursuance of the powers of their Act of Parliament of 11th and 12th Vic., c. 77. The Mayor, in opening the proceedings of the meeting, in a short but forcible speech, remarked on the great want of railway communication with Wells, and the promises held out by the Bristol and Exeter Company as to con structing the line to Wells. His worship then. called on any gentl eman w h o had any proposition etin to make to bri ng th e same before the meeting.- Henry Sey mour , E sq ., sa id he held in the meeting.- Henry Seymour, Esq., said he held in hi his hand e a gin e- morial (which he intended to more for p ado tion by the meeting) to the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company, urging on that body at once to take steps for constructing GROUSE SHOOTING. The season, on Deeside, promises to be a very fa vourable one for sportsmen. In Braemar, the grouse are more abundant than was expected from the severity of the earl• part of the season. On the 12th, the party of Lord Elcho and the ion. H. Coventry bagged, on the of Monaltrie and Muirs of Gairnsheil, belonging. to Invercauld, 244 h brace of grouse, of which Lord Elcho shot 901 brace. His Lordship's bag would bare been larger, but he was obliged to give up shooting at an early hour, on account of his keeper having been taken ill on the hill. In the Forest of Birse, Mr. Robert son, of Foveran, bagged, on the 12th, 54h brace and 2 hares; on the 13th, 52/ brace, 5 hares, and 1 wild duck; on the 14th, 27 brace and 2 hares; on 16th, 19h brace and 4 hares; on 17th, 191 brace and 2 hares. Mr. George Gordon, Nethermuir, killed, on the 12th, 35 brace and 7 hares; on 13th, 18 brace; and up to the end of the week, 42} brace, besides hares. We hear that one of the party at Finzan had 45 brace on the first day, on the commonty. Lord Elcho, the Hon. H. Coventry, Mr. Coventry, and Henry Dundas, E•q., continue to have excellent sport at Gairnsheil. Lord Eicho and the Hon. Mr. Coventry have had, on an average, about 50 brace a day. At the Cairtidavon shootings, whero are Captain Leylands and family, H. L. Lumley, Esq., R. H. Lane, Esq., and Brock, Esq., there are great appearances of grouse and red diet, but there are no accounts of the success of the party. At Lsgganauld, Lord H. Bentinck killed 3 stags before the 12th, and Sir Richard Sutton had excellent sport, fishing. On the 12th, Lord 11. Bentinck had 54 brace of grouse; Sir R. Sutton, 64 brace; and Mr. King, 53 brace. Average since then, 55 brace per day. At Morven Lodge, C. M. Christie, Esq., of Durie, and Captain N. Christie, have hal excellent sport. Grouse more plentiful than usual. The Glenmuick shootings, belonging to Invercauld, have been taken by F. R. Alagennis, Esq., and H. D. Drum mond, Esq. The party arrived on Saturday last, and on Monday, being very rainy, nothing was done, At Glendye, Sir James Carnegie, Bart., killed 63 brace on the 12th; Sir James G. Baird, 301 brace; and Captain Carnegie, 39} brace. The accounts of the success of sporting parties on the Deeside moors have hitherto gone ahead of those noted from almost every other quarter; and there is, therefore, little doubt that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will enjoy excellent sport on the Balmoral and Abergeldie grounds when he ar rives.—Aberdeen Journal. FALL .OF THE BRICKLAYERS' ARMS RAILWAY STATION. This unfortunate accident, although of a very serious nature, has not been productive of so much mischief as was at first anticipated, little or no damage being done except to the root itself, and three of the pillars that supp rued it. The portion of the station which has fallen comprises two roofs, pointed at the top and covering the permanent way to a distance of 400 feet. The external covering of these roofs was of deal planks, slated over and resting upon beams formed of a bar of fir, bolted between two lamium of iron. This kind of beam was used fir the double purpose of insuring strength and elasticity, and to stable the boarding of the rot f to be nailed firmly down. The base of the cone formed by these beams was spanned by jointed lanairte of iron, from which rose iron bars, affording support to the roof. The beams were placed along the roots at intervals of about f ;lir feet, and their ends rested upon cast-iron supports running along iron pillars, about twelve feet high and eight inches thick. This row of pillars formed a central support, on which the two roofs rested, the other ends or the beams resting upon the supports of the sheds at each side of the station. The accident wus caused by a carriage which was being moved round on the turn table striking aainst the last pillar of the central row. This instantly snapped, as also did two others, upon which a groat weight was thus suddenly thrown, and a great portion of both roofs being thus unsupport , A, the whole fabric was torn away from the bolts by its own weight, and fell with a tremendous noise. When the fall occurred there was a long train of first and second-class carriages under the sheds, at.d it has been stated by some of the morn ing journals that had these been filled with passergers the sacrifice of life must have been awful. It appears, however, that the iron-work of the roofs fell on these carriages and bent themselves over them, without break ing a single window or damaging any of them in the slighest degree. To this fact is owing the preservation of the three porters at work near the carriages. The unfortunate man who was killed, on hearing the fall of the pillars at the lower end of the shed, a'tempted to es cape into the station, but was knocked down by the fal ling materials, and suffocated by one of toe supports falling across his neck. Oe the three men tak , n to Guy's Hospital only one (Watson) was found to los seriously injured, he having his leg broken. The (tiler two es caped with some severe bruises,and were sufficiently well to leave the hospital yesterday afternoon. The iron pillars along the centre, with the exception of the three which broke, are still standing, and the cast-iron sup porters along their tops are still entire. An inquest will 'be held on the deceased man to-day (Friday). QUARANTINE NOTICE, Palermo, Aug. 12. The Board of Health has this day ordered that vessels from the islands of the coast of Great Britain be subject to 21 days' quarantine for the men, and 2i3 days for the goods. NOTICE 'lO MARINERS. The following notice to mariners has been forwarded Lloyd's from the Admiralty:— " flydrographie Office, Admiralty, August 6, 1850. "FIXED LIGHT AT BAIA, IN THE GULF OF NAPLES: " Notice has been given by the Neapolitan Govern ment that a lighthouse has been recently erected on the point of the small fort of Tenaglia which projects from the Castle of Baia, in Pozzuoli Bay. Its latitude is said to be 40 deg. 48 min. 40 sec. N., and its longitude 14 deg. 4 min. 50 sec. E. of Greenwich. "It is a fixed light, and was exhibited on the Ist of last July at an elevation of 46 feet above the mean level of the sea. It may he seen at the distanca of biz miles." NORDKOSTER ON THE COAST OF SWEDEN. Notice has been give❑ by the Swedish Government that two lighthouses have been erected on the highest part of the North Koster Island, in the Gulf of Bohus, in latitude 58 deg. 54 min. 12 sec. N., and longitude 11 deg. 4 min. E. of Greenwich. The towers are each twenty feet in height, and ►taud north and south of each other, distaut 234 feet; and ai the lights will be 214 feet above high water, they will be seen at the distance of eighteen or twenty miles in fine weather. The northern light will have a blue tinge, and revolve every two minutes. In the southern tower there will be a fixed light, and both of them are to be exhibited on the Ist of next September. CONSUMPTION OF WINE IN GREAT BRITAIN AND iItKLAND. It appears:by 071611 returns, that the total quan tity of foreign wine consumed in the United Kingdom, in the year 1787, was 4,521,941 gallons. In the following year the consumption increased to 6,650,644 gallons, and continued to increase till 1795, when it had risen to 8,2:38,438 gallons. In 1797 the consumption suddenly declined to 3,569,261 gal lons, but rallied in the two succeeding years, until in MO it was 7,294,752. The consumption during the next quarter of a century, from 1800 to 1824, was steady at an average of 5,000,000 gallons, but in the following year a large increase took place, the quantity entered for home consumption in 1825 being 8,009,542 gallons. This increase, however, was not maintained, the consumption having fallen in the follow ing year to 6,058,442 gallons. The consumption since 1827 to the present time seems to have remained very steady, at an average of 6,300,000 gallons per annum. In the year 1843 the consumption was less than it has been since 1822, only 4,815,222 gallons having been cleared from the Custom House. The consumption during the last four years has been as follows :-1846, 6,740,316 gallons; 1847, 6,053,837; 1849, 6,136,547 ; and 1849, 6 ; 251,662 gallons. The imports generally exceed the consumption by about 1,125,000 gallons. In the years 1786 and 1813 all the Custom House records (calculated to throw light on the imports and consumption in those periods were accidentally destroyed by fire. During the last ten years there has been a total decrease in the amount of duty re ceived of 63,1981. The amount collected by the revenue as duty on foreign wine averages 1,700,0001. per annum.
