PATRON—MS Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, &c. PRESIDENT—JOIIN MASTERMA N, Esq., M.P. The object of this institution is to maintain, clothe, and educate the orphan and necessitous children of Commercial Travellers. There are 86 children (from all parts of the kingdom) in the institution al ready, and the applications for admittance arc so numerous, that it is found absolutely necessary to provide larger and more commodious premises than those at present rented by the society. It is estimated that the sum of 12.0001. will enable the Board to purchase and fit up premises sufficiently extensive to accommodate 300 eb"dren. As this is a national and not a local charity, it is intended that an opportunity for subscribing towards the required amount shall be given to the various commercial firms throughout the country. To this end deputations from the Board of Management in London win. proceed to the principal commercial cities and towns of the united kingdom, Brisfa`tras just been ~ v lslttlE - On -- Ittc 41* Febt nary Public Dinner of the fGends and supporters of the institution snag held in that city (the Right Worshipful the Mayor in the chair), when donations towards this special fund, amounting to 6911. lls , were announced.

Stanfield Hall and Potash continue tenantless, presenting a wretched and desolate appearance. Several labourers have been offered sums of money to live in them, with their families, rent free, but in every instance their offers were refused. The solicitors, under the fiat of Rush's bankruptcy, have now possession of the blunderbuss de livered over to them by the high sheriff of the county. It is said it is to be sold for the benefit of the creditors. EmiGRATIoN.—In two days of the last weeks up wards of 500 ' persons sailed from the port of Waterford on passage as emigrants to America. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Hertford, March 1. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULS.) William Watson, 43, was indicted for forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 811., with intent to defraud William Streater. Mr. T. Chambers prosecuted; Mr. Parnell defended the prisoner. The prosecutor, it appeared, is a farmer at Bushey, and on the Bth of May, last year, being. at Watfini market, the prisoner introduced himself to him, and wished to know if he had any hay to dispose of. The prosecutor took him to his farm, and showed him a stack containing about twenty loads, which he agresd to sell to the prisoner at 41. per load, and it was arranged that the hay should be sent to the prisoner in London, and that each load should be paid for on delivery. A portion of the hay was sent, but no money was forth coming, and on a subsequent occasion the prisoner ' handed to the prosecutor a bill of exchange for 811, drawn by himself upon a person named John Scott, re siding at Perceval-street, Goswell-street, and which purported to bear his acceptance. The pros( - cutor at 6rst_ . demurred to taking the bill, stating that he did not understand such matters, but upon the prisoner assuring him that it was a good bill, and that he could get it discounted at his banker's, he consented to receive it, and upon the faith of its being a genuine instrument he supplied the prisoner with ten loads of hay, and also let him have a pony and chaise, valued at 221. When the bill arrived at matu rity, however, and it was presented for payment at the address in Perceval-street, it turned out that no such person as John Scott was known there; and, from fur ther inquiries that were made upon the subject, it was ascertained that, immediately the prisoner obtained pos session of the hay, a person with whom he was asso ciated, and who has since absconded, disposed of it to different stable-keepers at a much lower price than the sum that was originally agreed to be given for it. Mr. PARNELL, at the close of the case for the prosecu tion, submitted that the circumstances as detailed in the evidence would not support the charge of forgery, and he contended that there was not sufficient evidence to establish beyond all doubt that the John Scott who was represented to be the acceptor of the bill was a non-ex isting person. Mr. CHAMBERS said it was impossible for him, on the part of the prosecution, to call all the John Scotts in London, to say that they were not the parties mentioned in the instrument. He had shown that there was no John Scott at the houSe in Perceval-street, and if such a person really were in existence, the prisoner could easily produce him as a witness. Mr. Justice MAULE said the case must go to the jury. . . Mr. PARNELL accordingly addressed them on behalf of the prisoner, contending that there was nothing in the ease to bhow that he hal not received the bill as a genuine instrument, and that he had handed it as such to the prosecutor. Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and the jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for 10 years. CIVIL SIDE. Lord Chief Justice — Wilde opened this Court at half past twelve o'clock. There were originally eleven causes entered, two of which were withdrawn, and of the re maining nine, five were undefended. There was not one special jury cause on the list. His Lordship disposed of the undefended causes, but nothing of interest transpired during the day. OXFORD CIRCUIT, Abingdon, Feb. 28. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) Henry Burrows, aged 28, a letter-carrier, was indicted for having, on the 13th October last, feloniously stolen from a post letter a half-crown and a shilling. Mr. Whateley, Q.C., Mr. Alexander, Q.C., and Mr. Bros appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Carrington for the prisoner. This case excited great local interest, as the prisoner was the son of a man who had been for 35 years town postman here, and had secured, by his good conduct, the respect of all his fellow-townsmen. The son had been appointed, about a twelvemonth back, country postman, and conducted himself, until very recently, with pro priety. It appeared that early in October a young girl, who was in service at Walworth, posted a letter addressed to her mother, who lived at Clifton, in this neighbour hood, and containing a half-crown and a shilling, and some small books for her little brothers. This letter was received by the prisoner, in order to deliver it. He opened it, and took out the books and money, and then concealed it with many ethers in a drain near the town. The girl receiving no answer, wrote two more letters, and these also were intercepted by the prisoner and concealed in the same place. Immediately afterwards a flood swept all these letters out of the drain, and they were picked up by a little boy who happened to be passing. The discovery of them of course created a great sensa tion in the town, and a gentleman having met the pri soner and told him that a number of intercepted post letter,pad been discovered, he wont to the police sta tion tic once and surrendered himself, saying that he was guilty of having abstracted money out of letters and concealed them. The policeman asked him to go to the postmaster, but he refused, saying that he did not wish to go, and that it was unnecessary, as he confessed that he had taken and opened many letters, and that he bad even several then in the lining of his hat. On examin ing his hat the policeman found eight letters between the lining and the hat; 20 were found in the drain, and nine in another place. Altogether 35 were distinctly traced to him. On his behalf witnesses were callod who spoke to his former good character, and stated when the cholera raged here last autumn he had a very severe attack of it; and that since then his eyes appeared wild, his manner and conversation were much altered, and he had many other symptoms of insanity. Ifaving been found Guilty, His LORDSHIP, in a very feeling address, sentenced him to be transported for ton years. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.— Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Feb. 28. This day their Lordships disposed of the county of Northumberland business only. The calendar co n t a i ns on l y twe l ve pr i soners, w hi c h , with the exception of two or three cases, are ordinary charges of larceny. On the Civil Side there are only thirteen causes en tered, ten being county case., and three being for the town and county of Newcastle. Of the thirteen one only is a special jury. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) POST -OFFICE ROBBERY.—Richard Short was indicted for having, at Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the 23d of Oc tober last, stolen two letters, the property of the Post master-General. TL ere were a l so o th e r c ounts, charging him with embezzlement, &c. Mr. Otter and Mr. Pickering conducted the prosecu tion; Mr. James defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a married man with three children, had been for about six years a clerk in the Post-office at Berwick-upon-Tweed, at a salary of 501. a-year. In the month of October last, Mr. John Ramsay, the Inspector-General of the Post-office, went down to Alnwick, for the purpose of discovering fr au d s suppose d to b e com mitted at Berwick, and to carry out his' intention he posted at Alnwick, on the 23d of that month, two letters—one addressed to " Miss Rennie, Mrs. Burns, Granton-road, Edinburgh," in which he inclosed a florin and nine post age-stamps, all of which were marked; the other letter was addressed Mr. Donaldson, baker, Cupar, Fife, in which was enclosed a sovereign and nine postage-stamps, which were likewise marked. The first letter was dropped into the box, two heads baying been put upon it; the other was put into the hands of the postmaster at Alnwick, and the postage paid. It was the prisoner's duty to attend with two other clerks in the letter office, and sort the letters, sending those forward which were addressed for the north. The letters in question not having been forwarded as they ought to have been, the next morning the Inspector-General proceeded to Ber wick, and having obtained a search warrant, went with the inspector of police to the letter office, and having told the two clerks and the prisoner what had happened, said that they must be searched. The two clerks assented directly, but the prisoner hung back; upon which the inspector desired him to empty his pockets, and on his doing so the greater portion of the articles which had been inclosed in the letters were discovered. Mr. JAMES, for the prisoner, then objected that the letter was not a letter within the meaning of the Post office Act, as it was not a letter put by the public, but one mainly for the purpose of detecting fraud. His LORDSHIP having said there had been an express decision on that point, and that it was not a valid ob jection, Mr. JAMES then objected that the venue was wrongly laid, inasmuch as the crime was alleged to have taken place at Berwick-upon-Tweed, and the venue was laid in the county of Northumberland; and although the crime might be tried in any county where the letters passed, or in that where the prisoner was taken into custody, yet it was not allowable to allege the crime to have been committed in one county, and to lay the venue in another. His LORDSHIP, after a little consideration, said he would give his judgment on the point in the morning; and Mr. James having stated that he was unable to con tend against the facts proved, Th• jury returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORMILIP deferred passing sentence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Jonas Lazarus was brought up for final examination, charged with having been found in the synagogue in St. Helen's for the purpose of committing a robbery. He was also suspected of having been concerned in robbing the Great Synagogue in Duke's-place, and the syna gogue in the west end of the town.

THE LATE CASE OF CRUELTY IN BEATING A CHILD. —Yesterday Mr. Edward Kesealy, barrister, of No. 4, South-square, Gray's inn, appeared before Mr, Alder man Salomons, to hear the depositions read, previous to his being co mm itt e d to the Middlesex Sess ions, to take his trial for cruelly beating a child, only six years of age, who went under the name of Edward Hyde. The facts of the case have frequently appeared before the public. After a further examination, in the course of I which Mr. Kenealy obtained an a c knowledgment from the principal w it ness t h at hi s treatment of t h e c hild , previously to the transaction complained of, was kind, he was committed to the Middlesex Sessions, bail being taken ; the defendant himself to the amount of 1004 and two sureties, .50/. each. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A very well-dressed middle-aged woman applied for aasktance to punish her suitor for breach of promise 01 marriage. On Ash• Wednesday last she was to be mar ried to him; and, on the day before, .she had arranged to meet her intended at the church, St. George's, Han over-.quire, for the purpose of going through the proper ceremony. Owing to some mistake as to the time, the clergyman could not marry them on that day, and they were obliged to postpone the ceremony to the following Sunday. Her intended went down to Reading, where ho lived, and on Saturday last ho was married to another woman. The applicant produce] the licence which she had received from her faithless admirer, which was in the names of James Wickens and Elizabeth Draper, widow, end wished to know whether she could not have some redress for the injury she had sustained? The Chief Clerk, Mr. Leadloy, said, if she estimated the damage she had sustained at less than 201., she might proceed against the man in the County Court; if, at a higher sum, she must consult an attorney—but the case was one which did not come within the jurisdiction of t bat court. The disconsolate wid ow th an k ed the Chief Clerk, and loft the court. CLERKEN WELL. Yesterday, Charles Lear', Charles Collins, Timothy Reading, and Patrick Brown, athletic Irish labourers, were placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charred by Mr. Philip Newbury England, appraiser, of No. 36, Polygon, Somers-town, with having been concerned in the following daring outrage and assault. The prosecutor said, that on Thursday afternoon ho was sent for by Mr. Joseph Bond, of Draper's-place, St. Pancras, with a request that he would immediately attend there as a strong party of armed men had assem bled on that spot, with a determination to take forcible possession of a house. He instantly proceeded thither and found upwards of 200 Irish labourers and navvies, armed with various implements, making preparations to break into the house. He addressej and cautioned them as to the imprudence and illegality of their conduct, when the prisoners, who were the ringleaders of the party, said they had been offered M. to take possession, and they were determined to enter the house by violent means, on which Collings, Reading, Leary, seized him, while the prisoner Brown lifted up a heavy crowbar, and aimed a deadly blow at his head, but, fortunately, be (witness) escaped the intended mischief, by seizing hold of the instrument, and with assistance, and after a des perate struggle he was extricated from the prisoners and his life saved. On cautioning the parties, the whole of them left, but the prisoners, who, on the arrival of the police, were taken into custody and locked up. Mr. Thompson, a solicitor, for the defence, asked the witness whether he was not aware that Miss Mary Wil son claimed possession of the house ? Witness—No ; I only know that the house belongs to Miss Bond, and that it was lc fc to her by her uncle. Mr. Thompson could only say that Miss Wilson claimed a right to the house, and a man took illegal possession by getting through a skylight at the top of the house, and it was according to his (Mr. Thompson's) in structions that the prisoners had gone to take forcible possession. Mr. TYRWHITT expressed his surprise that any pro fessional man should have adopted such a course of proceeding. Mr. Thompson—l have acted under the opinion of counsel. Mr. TYRWHITT said he cared not about the opinion of cousel unless he was guided by a case. Mr. Thompson then referred to a case, which be partly read. Mr. TYRwUITT said the meaning of the case and the law were quite the reverse of the gm of and the extraordinary mode` of conduct pursued by Mr. Thompson. He shoulcldbrder the prisoners to put in their own recogniiance to keep the peace, and they ought to be thankful to the prosecutor for his kind ness in not pressing for punishment, or the heaviest penalty of the law would have been inflicted upon them. The prisoners were then severely reprimanded and cautioned, and after putting in their recognizances they were liberated. ffice of Mr. Grootn a , Abchurchalane..

Yesterday, Thomas Dale, an athletic young man, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being con cerned, with ten other men, in the commission of a daring highway robbery, on Tuesday evening last, in Bruns wick-street, Dover-road. The particulars of the outrage and robbery were de tailed in the newspapers cf the following day, since which the prisoner has been taken into custody. Mr. Burroughs, of the Emigration Office, Thames street, the complainant, stated that in the course of th© morning 116 was sent for to the station-house, and in formed that a second man was apprehended on the charge of being one of his assailants. That in order that their might be no mistake in the identification of the prisoner, the latter was placed with several other men, and he (complainant) was then directed to point out the man concerned in the outrage, upon him, if he was enabled so to do. Complainant examined the men, and selected the prisoner from amongst them. In reply to Mr. Bingham. the complainant said that he believed the prisoner to bo the man that he saw cross over the street when his two first assailants left him, and it was his impression at the time that the prisoner was on the watch while the outrage was being perpetrated. Policeman 156 M stated that on the evening in ques tion the three men suspected of the offence ran from the direction where the complainant was robbed and mal treated, and passed him (the policeman) before he heard the alarm given by the former gentleman, but they all escaped at the time. Mr. BINGIIAM—IIaye you any reason to believe that the prisoner is one of the men that ran away from the direction where the alleged outrage was committed?— Yes. Sergeant Watkins stated that he took the prisoner into custody on the previous night, coming out of the Black Horse, in Kent-street, the house in which Skinner, the man examined at that court on Wednesday, was cap tured. He (the sergeant) had knowii the prisoner for a length of time to be the constant associate of Skinner, and also had known him to have been frequently in cus tody, and summarily convicted of offences. Mr. BINGHAM said that the alleged robbery appeared to be one of a very daring character, and that it would be most important for the ends of justice thatthe offenders should bo apprehended. The magistrate then asked the prisoner if he was desirous of saying anything?—The prisoner said he was a cooper by trade, but out of em ploy, and that he knew nothing of the offence with which he was charged. He could not deny that he knew Skinner, but that they were not together on the night of the robbery. The prisoner, who declined saying anything further, was remanded. William Saunders, a man of respectable appearance, who described himself as a "watch and clock maker, in Webber-street, Lambeth, was charged with stealing a purse containing 151., together with a gold Spanish piece, and two half-crowns, from the person of William Aldous, a coffee and eating-house-keeper, in Fore-street, Cripplegate. Tlie complainant stated that being about to dispose of his house and business, the prisoner called on him on Friday last on the subject, and a meeting was proposed at a house in Blackfriars-road on the following Monday. Complainant was there at the appointed time, and saw the prisoner, who induced him to accompany him to the Flying Horse beer-shop, in Webber-street, to witness a bet that was made by two men on throwing heavy weight. He(complainant) was then taken to the skittle ground of the above house, where he observed other men, who appeared to bo acquaintid with the prisoner, and they all endeavoured to prevail upon him (com plainant) to drink and to play skittles, both of which he refused to do, and the latter game was commenced by two of the men, one of whom appeared to be losing a great deal of money. He (complainant), not much re lishing the aspect of things, and suspecting he had fallen into dangerous company, was about to quit the place, but before ho had time to carry his intentions into effect a row was pur posely got up, when four men suddenly rushed upon him, and in an instant ho was robbed of his purse, containing fifteen sovereigns, a gold Spanish piece, and two half-crowns. The next moment he saw his purse in the hands of the prisoner, and he made an effort to go towards him in order to insist on his deli vering up the possession of it, but he was restrained by the other men, who held him back, and the prisoner got away. The complainant added that he left the house soon afterwards, and gave information of the robbery. Sergeant Gough, L division, stated that haying re ceived information of the robbery he went to the Flying Horse beer-shop, and found an empty purse concealed in the skittle-ground. The purse was here shown to the complainant, who identified it as the one which con tained the money of which he had been plundered. The prisoner said that a nephew of his had been re cently left some property in the country, and that being anxious to set up in business in London ho (prisoner) was about to ent e r i n t o a nego tiation for the purchase of complainant's premises, w h en this unpleasant affair occurred. The prisoner then went on as a watch and te say that he was in respecta ble bu siness complainant clock-maker in Webber-street, andthatonthtehdeaynmyienng tioned he and the ins e n r twent asserted into that he did not la s Horse; and although while th theatt ere, he (tho prisoner) could e ny m g aTis e trate that he did, and lost in bets be tween at e r n e B t / ha . and 91., which was won fairly from him, but that he wanted the money back again, and this being refused, he trumped up the present charge; that he (prisoner) was informed only that morning by the land lord of the beer-shop that the complainant had been there and accused him (prisoner) of stealing his purse and money, and that, acting upon this information, ho immediately proceeded to the station-house in Cripple gate, in which he heard the complainant resided; and having stated to the inspector on duty the nature of the charge alleged against him, he voluntarily gave himself into custody, and was sent over to this court. Ho added most emphatically that he was entirely innocent of the charge, and that it was untrue that he had the complainant's purse in his hands. The complainant was recalled, and he repeat e d th a t his statement was perfectly correct in all particulars; and / ...--i ii___ tr t / he added that he h a d no doubt ta " plant " wail put pun him to get him into the skittle-ground in order to. ts oh him. A policeman of the L division, in plain clothes, stated , that a f ew wee k s ago h e saw the pr i soner in the company. ~,,!„ of two m en , one o f w h om h a d b een s i nce taken into ens. ;..,'"./s.-11,.' todv for fraud. The City police officer produced four unfinished watches and a clock movement, which the prisoner had witn him when he called at the station-house. • ~.': The pri soner said that he was taking them to Clerktna , 4..- R eil f rom hi s house, and he again asserted his innocence .1, I,cl of the alleged charge. Mr. BINGHAII said that he should remand the prisoner, who applied to be permitted to give bail for his appears ance. The Magistrate assented, observing, that as the charge was one of a most serious character, to secure his attendance on the next examination he should call upon him to enter into his own recognizance in 100/, and to find two securities of 501. each. The required security not being forthcoming, the pri soner was remanded. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant IV. 11. J. Browne (1847), late of the Enterpri6e, to the Resolute, fitting at Woolwich fur Captain Austin's Arctic expedition. Mr. 13rowne served in the Sulphur, under Captain Sir E. Belcher, at the destruction of the forts of the Bocce Tigris, and in the operations against the capture of Canton.

Mr. Browne is the author of the splendid coloured views of the Arctic regions, now publishing by Ackermann of the Strand ; and to the gallant officer Mr. Burford is indebted for his beautiful and sublime panorama. WOOLWICH, MARCH :I.—Midshipman—John 0. Kidd to the Strombol steam-sloop at Devonport. Captain Ommanney, of the Assistance, attended at Woolwich to-day to enter stockers for the Arctic ex• pedition on their being passed by a medical board There were 33 volunteers of that class, although only eight were required, and their places were soon filled up by highly eligible candidates. THE BALLOON EXPERIMENTS. The result of the last :experiments had been satis factory with Mr. Shepherd's balloon, numbers of the slips having been returned to the Admiralty from Col• cheater, from Sussex, and various parts of Kent, and from Ryde in the Isle of Wight. Another trial of balloons was made to day about three o'clock P.H. Four balloons were sent up from the top of the build ings at the Admiralty —one by itself with 2,500 slips of paper attached. The other had two small balloons attached, which were to be separated during their flight. The slow matches attached to the balloons put up to-day were arranged in a different manner to what they were on previous occasions, and will drop their messages about every five miles. The larger balloon, on being liberated, took a south-east direction, and was seen to pass over the City near London-bridge, and one of the packages of slips of paper, with printed notices on them, was distinctly observed to separate and scatter the slips in the upper current of air. Great hopes are entertained that these aerial messen gers will be useful if liberated in the Arctic regions, as they can travel over a vast distance in a short space of time, when travelling parties on the ice find it an arduous task to accomplish from eight to ten miles per day. Tile following are the words printed on slips of paper, five inches long by one and a half broad : " Dispatched by a balloon from H.M.S. W., steering W.N.W. in lat. N., long. Provisions left at To Sir J. Franklin, &c." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSSTREVER. Yesterday the adjourned meeting of this company was held, at the offices in Moorgate-streot, to elect directors and auditors, the chairman and board having at the pre vious meeting resigned their seats in consequence of offensive expressions that had been made use of in • circular addressed to the shareholders, Lord Newry and Morne iu the chair. Mr. COCHRANE, ef Liverpool, explained that, although in the cirdular alluded to he had felt it incumbent upon him to speak in harsh terms of the directors, he intended nothing peisonal, and that, had curtain explanations been given to him sooner, those expressions would not have been used. ~;~ The CHAIRMAN said, that with reference to the con tract with Mr. Dargan, the directors thought they were only doing their duty to the shareholders in getting it provisionally signed, and the pro prietors could have inspected it. Neither he not Mr. Vandeleur could joi❑ the direction unless the offensive epithets were unequivocally withdrawn. Mr. Cochrane should have asked to see the contract, in: stead of writing abusively, and saying, as though they were in the.habit at doing stung, j considsr_thst pso•. - ceedings of the directors an cunning." exhibition of 'low Mr. COCIIRANE regretted having written intempe rately and under strong disappointment, upon certain points of management. For instance, he thought it unjustifiable that any director should sit at the board with a large amount of arrears unpaid, or having had his shares forfeited. Had he known the other facts, as he did now, he would not have used the expressions. This explanation apparently being deemed a satis factory retractstion, the meeting proceeded to the election of directors, and upon the motion of Mr. Shand, of Liverpool, seconded by Mr. Cochrane, :Lord Newry was re-elected chairman, and Mr. Vandeleur a director. The following new directors were also appointed:— Mr. Shand, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. J. Riley, of Rosstravor; Mr. J. Thompson, of Wigan; Mr. J. Campbell, of Liverpool; and Mr. T. Bushell, of Belfast. The audi tors elected were—Messrs. A. Smith and J. Maunder, of Liverpool. It was stated in the course of the discussion that the line from Newry to Dublin would be opened on the Ist of May. ;%-i-1 //e [PRICE SD. GLASGOW, DUMFRIES, AND CARLISLE. The half-yearly report of the directors states that n• exertions shall be spared to arrange, as far as practicable every demand on the capital account, previous to the anticirated amalgamation with the Glasgow and Ayr Company, in October next. The line between Dumfries and Closeburn, about 12 miles, was opened for traffic at the end of October last; and an additional portion of five miles towards Sanquhar will be finished in May, but cannot bo available for traffic beyond Thornhill until the main line is completed throughout. On the contracts at the Ayrshire end of the line the construction of the railway has advanced so rapidly as to allow of its being opened for traffic as far as New Cumnoek, by the Ist of May, and thence to liitleconnel and Sanquhar by the month of August next, if the wea ther be favourable. Again, from Sanquhar southwards thole are nearly five miles ready for rail-laying, which will reduce the break between that point and Thornhill to eight miles, until October next, whe❑ the whole line is expected to be completed. A most unnecessary outlay has been allowed in the erection of several of the stations south of Dumfries, and the directors have experienced much embarrassment from the nature of several of the contracts entered into by their predecessors with land. owners and others. The appointment of a law *clerk for the Ayrshire Company at a fixed salary, who is also to take charge of the same department for this company, will, it is expected, reduce the legal expenses in the same proportion. The reduction in the number of directors to 10 takes effect from this date. The persons now in dice form the board of direction of the Glasgow and Ayr Railway. The capital account to the 31st of Ja nuary shows that 902,48 n. had been received, and 911,, 70/. expended, leaving a balance against the com• pany of 9,282/. nTtxduaynsfroo.rkv the A A FTERNOON, F a l l s : STEAM COMMUNICATION B ETWEEN G LASGOW AND N 2B E .

THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE BISIIOP OF LLANDIVF. —On Monday a public sale of the extensive library of the late Right Rev. Dr. Copleston, Bishop of Llandaff, was commenced at the auction rooms of Messrs. Toplis and Son, St. Paul's Churchyard. As the library con sisted of many rare and valuable works, the sale was fully attended, and although the most select part of the collection was not in the first part of the catalogue, the purchases were pretty numerous. The prices given ge nerally were not high. The total amount of the day's sale was 2231. The sale will occupy four more days the library containing 1,700 different works, making tu all five or six tho usan d vo l umes. Amongst the curious documents to be sold is a copy of " Magna Charts," executed for the late Emperor Alexander, at an expense of 700 guineas.
