B , for which 22 horses were handicapped. right, holy bait' only remain in, and out of those, as Una I imagine has to ', rec overed from her recent lameness, I see nothing likely 1:1_1-Tat Sir Joh n Mill's Giantess, with sst. 10Ib. and Alfred on her back. My belief in her success is grounded on pr_ winning in such admirable style the Queen's Vase at Th e field, a `'lks will bring together, lam afraid, but a small bavet„" °wing' to the very heavy weight John o' Gaunt will th e ~,I„e s trY( lost. I think Mr. Etwall's2Egiswill turn out but o . i , ",,, n ".Pine-apple 1 sl.'nuld not be surprised to see second ; bor n s""e seventeen moderate :Lnimals named for the Pusey inet takes, I ~alobservatio e n a r. i not conceive Yil2at can beat Mr. Parr's 4ratkint Leicester, on W . ti eu i Y - "fle or Sparsholt. The other races call for no par ednesdav, we have rather a thin pro bean 1 11 ,e. For the Leicestershire Handicap only eight have be b e 't in by their owners ; and I thiuk the struggle will „atetween Rochester, 7st. 51b., and Pergularia, 65t.,61b., and the latter will be found the best of the two. I f ,t_l v do not think Queen blab is likely to go for the Cup, lik e i r e. .. the Duke of Rutland, with one of his lot, most Y to obtain it. ~,.I.olstt Lichfield, which commences on Tuesday, we have the I.3..!.fordshire, with the large number of thirteen acceptances I nheritress, Bst. 91b., being the top weight, and Jenny f „ r en, 6st., the lowest. Neither of these, I imag:ne, will be i' o ttnd to Cope with Everton, 7st., who, from his running at Win k for th e Great Ebor Handicap, ought undoubtedly to li o _ ) Next to him, and if he does not run, I expect to see 4,,t0n, 7st. 91b.e Gold Cup, first, with Rochester well up. b%,n would be walked over for, I should think, ardl eY, aft ger his winnin so easily at Warwick. To the d w o - 3 , Old Stakes there are eleven colts and fillies set 1 ° 4 71 , n, and in spit e o f th e 51b. extra Twig will have to carry , vt `,,,n,ink lie will be found the best of the lot. Tit• bit will run I have no doubt. -s . or the Rochester Handicap no less than fifteen horse liatre accepted —a high compliment to the handicapper, and ~,,P , 14 , 4 careful analysis of them, I prefer Hampton, 7st. 131 b., L 'aciv Charlotte, 7st. 51b., to all the others. 141141 4 Sept. 5, 1845.

The experiments on this new and interesting prin ciple, which bids fair to overturn all our preconceived ideas of railway travelling, were resumed yesterday, in the presence of Mr. Wilkinson, Chairman of the Cmn pany, and several of the Dirt ctors. Mr. Samuda, as before, directed the proceedings. On this occasion there were tive carriages attached to the piston carriage, the aggregate weight amounting to probably thirty tons. The first experiment was from Croydon to the Dartmouth Arms, but from some misun derstanding as to time, one of the stationary engines was not brought into action, and the vacuum obtained the tube was in consequence imperfectly developed. The speed attained, however, was fully equal to that usually adopted in the working of the locomotive lines, being on the average 30 miles an hour. On the return a greater speed was attained, the barometer at starting indicating above 21 inch, s, or 10i lbs. of atmospheric pressure on the square inch of the piston. There was no stopping at any of the intermediate stations, and we had a good opportunity of judging of the speed that might be obtained. The distance of five miles was accomplished in six minutes and a quarter, giving an average of forty-eight miles an hour ; but part of this distance (a quarter of a mile) the speed reached 65 miles au hour. The second upward trip was continued throughout at an equal speed, and the dis tlnce was accomplished in sevt n minutes, being rather above forty-three miles an hour. The return to Croydon was t qually satisfactory. The barometer in dicated from 26 inches, the maximum, to 11 inches, the minimum, or from 13 to 5i pounds on each square inch. The result is such as must satisfy the most sceptical, because the experiments have clearly proved that a greater degree of speed can by the atmospheric principle be communicated iu a lesser time than by the present sys tem, while all possibility of those fearfal accidents that have so lately happened on different lines are completely avoided. Every day tends to lessen the unimportant dis advantages arising from the want of a thorough under standing between the different departments on the railways and it may safely be asserted that when the principle has had time and opportunity given it of arriving at greater maturity, the superiority over the locomotive engines will be so marked as to silence every caviller.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN MEETING AT LEDBURY. The deputation of the Great Eastern and Western etailway attended at the Feathers, on Tuesday, for the purpose of laying before the inhabitants the nature of the accommodation it was the intention of that Company to afford to the town and neighbourhood. This meeting was taken advantage of by some parties who have put forward a theme for a railway between. Worcester, Ledbury, and Ross, running in front of Great Malvern, through the beautiful valley immediately under it, and from thence acmes the property of Earl Somers 13 % and Mr. Biddulph, to Ledbury, and thence to Ross, for the purpose of getting a demonstration in its favour. This object they managed to attain. Mr. Robert Biddulph having been placed in the chair, Mr. WARD; JI.P , explained to the meeting that the object of the deputation was simply to pass the compli - mont to tln, inhabitants of an explanation of the views of the Great Eastern and Western Company in regard•to their town, and that he did not seek for any expression of opinion. On the contrary, be wished them to have an opportunity of weighing the merits of all the schemes that might be offered to theM before they pledged therns. lves to any in particular. He then stated that the Giant Eastern and Western line would run two miles to the north of Ledbury, where a first - class station would be provided for the accommodation v i e of the district, and that a branch line would be brought down the valley to any point of the town that the in• habitants might consider must desirable. By means of the Great Eastern and Western Railway, the markets of Birmingham and South Staffordshire would be opened to the neighbourhood, as also those of the ee — hills of South Wales. A great portion of the food consumed by the enormous population in the mineral s% districts was at present supplied by sea ; and the 7 % Great Eastern and Western was the only line that would place Ledbury iu direct and unbroken commit - nication with them. In proof of this he showed that by this line the distance between Ledbury and Merthyr by _— rail would, with the branch, be under sixty miles ; whereas, by those lines purpor ing to connect South Wales with Herefordshire by the coast line, a distance of 120 miles would have to be traversed. On Mr. Ward resuming his seat, Mr. JONES, the solicitor of the Worcester, Ledbury, and Ross line, stated that, in his opinion, the Great _ Eastern and Western would not accommodate the town so well as his line. He did not like branch lines—they were very inconvenient ; which he instanced by stating that in the event of the train on the main line being de tained tbr an hour and a half, the branch line would aho be detained. He then pointed out that the South Wales line - started to Fishguard and got down to Swansea up to Neath, down to Cardiff, touched at Newport, and at pre - sent stopped at Chepstow, that it had failed to pass over the-7 2 7° v ed to try to p Severn at Hock Cribb , ass i at next thatnd session a t e li s e n; Company in tendthat the South Wales Company meant to go up to Monmouth end thence to Ross ; and that his line going from Worcester to Ledbury and Ross, was on the high road to South Wales, and therefore to be preferred to the line of the Great Eastern and Western. lie then re quested Captain Jones to move a resolution pleding the town in favour of his direct and independent scheme, which resolution Captain Jones accordingly moved, and it having be. n duly seconded, Mr. MARTIN, the banker, reminded the meeting that they had not met to discuss the merits of rival schemes, but to hear valet were the intentions of the Great Eastern and Western Railway in regard to their town; that he had never heard of Mr. Jones's scheme'until he 3% had come into that room; and he cautioned them against stultifying themselves by a pledge until they had had time to reflect on all the schemes that were projected. lie concluded ;by moving an amendment to the effect that the meeting was not at present in a position to __ come to any resolution on the subject. - This view of the case was also taken by the Rev. Mr. Underwood, of Bosbury, and Mr. Biddulph Phillips ; but Dlr. Jones insisting on having the resolution put from the chair, it.was found on a show of fonds that thirty-seven only were fir the amendment, whilst some fifty gentle - men he'd up their hands for the original 'notion. Mr. JONES then called for three cheers to celebrate his triumph. We are informed, however, that every in - dividual posseze , ed of any portion of the property over which the proj, cted lines purpose to pass was decidedly opposed to the Worcester and Ross scheme, and that Mr. Robert Biddulph himself ead, that morning, &reeled its 7_ projector to erase his name from the list of the provi sional committee, in which it had been inserted without his knowledge or leave. Mr. Ward sail Mr. Douglasse afterwards took some refreshments at Mr. Biddulph's, having received their strong assurances that a branch line, with a station just at the outskirts of Ledbury, would furnish ell the accommodation required by the town, and would certainly be the arrangement which all s the influential inhabitants would prefer.— Worcester Journal of yesterday. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. CIRENCESTER, SEPT. I.—Agreeably to a requisition, signed by the Right Hon. the Earl Bathurst and two hundred of the most respectable inhabitants of this town and neighbourhood; a public meeting, convened by the High Steward, was held on Saturday last, for the pur pose of affording them an opportunity of expressing• their sentiment.; cn the importance of the projected Man chaster and Southampton Railway ; and a more respect able meeting was never held in Cirencester. Among the company were Earl Bathurst, E. Hopkinson, Esq , High Sheriff of the county ; Sir T. Tancred, Bart., J. W. Lyon, Esq., F. Cripps, Esq.. W. Dent, Esq., of Sudeley Castle ; Raymond Cripps, Esq., &c. James Walkin shaw, Esq., and Joseph Lankester, Esq., attended as a deputation from the Company. Mr. WALKINSBAW, in a rery clear and Perspi cuous manner, laid before the meeting the plans of the Company, and the advantages likely to arise from the projected railway. In the course of his a ddress, he paid a high, but deserved compliment to Earl Bathurst. His Lordship (said Mr' acsosnusriedd ns, with all th a t absence of erations, for which he is so o k n it a i s l h o a r vs se ) i h a a s s h p W e 1. 4 8 1 re markable, that although the line should go through his park, however inconvenient it might be, and however op - posed to all his early associations, still he would not allow any private feeling of his own to interfere with the 23( '• course of such a great public advantage. 31, E Mr. Walkinshaw was followed by Mr. LANKESTER 2h who also spoke, with great clearness and ability-. A number of resolutions were thin proposed and se conded by differcut gentlemen, and carried unanimously. Before the meeting separated, Earl 13ATRURST said, —" I may take the liberty of mentioning what some of you way know, but which may not be unsatisfactory to Mr. Bowley and others to learn, thata part of the pro - posed scheme (the Northern) was twice proposed by me to infla,ntial persons connected with the Great Western -- Railway, but without success. I proposed it by letter to an authority of the Company before the Great Western made the line to ICemb!e, and I proposed it orally the day i t was openel and completed. Neither of my pro positions, howevcr, wet with any decided support ; and' think it is our ditty to asskt those who offer us what is most useful."—Derizes Gazelle. MANCHESTER, BURY, AND ROSSENDALE. This railway commences in the township of Clifton, by a junction with the Manchester and Bolton Railwa,y, op posite the point where the Patricroft and Clifton Branch of the LiveriKieal and Manch esterSailway will boliimence, at the distance of about four and a half miles from continues iihurfao ciihritrthgt l:y ilt ' ,ijo - ws a tn l sp t : 1(1 - , r ,il : l , lo , l t tf t: ups Manchester ; it tl:en proceeds along the district of Out wood, and adjacent to the large v;ilage of Ringley, and t:fav:tilidrehee',xintatejtanistill'veme dateemn a t s_ ilkin o f the last cen sus . contained 11,186 inhabitants. On the nortlftrn border of this township, where it adjoins the parish of Radcliff), and near the point where the railway crosses the river Irwell, is situate the populous village of Radcliff:, Bridge, and its equally flourishing adjunct named _stand-lane ; these united places contain a population of upwards of 5,000. Within the village and the immediate localities around, there are eight cotton ma nufactories, twenty-one nankeen manufactories, nine check and gingham manufactories, eight dye-works, five calico printing-works, five bleaching establishments, and two collieries. On quitting Radcliffe-bridge, the rail way crosses a rich agricultural district, and shortly afterwards the line pas: es over one of the principal streets of the - large and increasing town of Bury. The population of the borough of Bury in 1841, was 25,912. The number of cotton-mills in the town and neighbour hood is about forty, woollen ten. calico printing cone( rns five, and. machine-making works six, exclusive of seve ral collieries in the immediate vicinity. In a central situation adjacent to the main streets of the town, this railway will form a junction with the Bolton, Wigan, and Liverpool line, or, as it is frequently designated, the Liverpool - and Bury BB way, which will best , iw on the place most important and advantageous facilities of an ess to Bolton, Liverpool, and the north.—Bradthatv's Gazqt4. MAIDSTONE AND ASHFORD. During the last week the surveyors or the South- Eastern Company have been measuring and taking levels (or the din, ct line which they propose to make between London and this town, with a continuation to Ashford. The line, it is said, will come through Mr. Smithe's timber-wharf in the West borough, cross the Medway almost exactly in the line (A' the river Len, olOng the course of which it will continue all through the town, thus avoiding much interference with valuable property. The station, it is said, will be in the gardens at the back of the Swan Inn, with a handsome opening to the High street, for which purpose the remov:•l of several houses facing the Kent Fire-office will be necessary. This is what is said—what will be done is another thing.— Maidstone Journal. It sh uld be distinctly made known to the public whether it I is to be so or not, thlt travellers may not hereafter be dis appointed and misled, as I and others have been on this nne,sion. It seems, also, not unreasonable to hepe that the Grand Junction Railway Company shall so arrange as that their mail trains be not twenty or thirty minutes behind their time, and specially that a whole train shall not be detained, when elore to the terminus, in seeking for the portmanteau of one pas senger.—Yours, truly, C. D. Liverpool, Sept. 4, 1845. SHOCKING ACCIDENT. We are sorry, in concluding our report of these satis factory experiments, to state that an occurrence took place on the return of the train, at half-past five, to Croydon, after the last trial, which terminated in the sacrifice of the life of a fellow-creature. Notwithstand ing that strict orders had been issued that no workmen should remain on the line, an Irishman, named Michael Murphy, with a temerity of the most unpardonable kind, was engaged in applying the bees'-wax to the leather flap which covered the groove, when, be fore he could get out of the way, the train, which was at the moment proceeding at the rate of some forty miles an hour, pas=ed over him, c:uThing his head upon the iron tube, and completely separating both arms and one leg from his body. The carriages were stopped almost immediately, and the remains of the unfortunate man were removed to the White Horse Inn, Croydon-common, a distance of a few hundred yards from the scene of the accident, where they await the corocer's inquest. We need not state that this melancholy event threw a damp upon the otherwise successful proceeding of the day. The individual whose life has fallen a sacrifice to his own foolhardiness had, in the course of the day, once narrowly escaped, and he had been cautioned as to the consequences which might arise from his reprehensible carelessness.

GAME IN THE ROYAL PRESERVES AT WINDSOR. —There is more game (especially pheasants and hares) upon the royal preserves in the vicinity of Windsor Castle this year, than has been known for several past seasons. Strict orders have been issued that not a single head of any description is to be shot until the return to Windsor of the Prince Consort. Upon the preserves at Swinley, also one of the farms of bis Royal Highness, about eight miles from Windsor, game of all kinds is equally abundant. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Tuesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Springfield goal, Chelmsford, on the body of William Blackburn, who attempted self-destruction by cutting his throat immediately after murdering his wife, at the village of Stondon, dopey, in that county, in June last, and , against whom a verdict of " Wilful murder " was returned by the coroner's jury. The man and his deceased wife had lived as servants in the house of Mr. Firench, of Stondon Hall, and she was found n her bedroom, lying on the bed, dead, with her throat cut. The husband was nowhere to be found, and later in the day was met with near a neighbouring wood, having also inflicted a frightful wound in his own throat. A razor was discovered in his pocket, and he acknowledged committing the injuries. He was unable to take his trial for the murder of his wife at the late assizes. Latterly he became more rational, but exceedingly dejected. A turnkey was constantly with him, and extreme exhaustion ended his days on Friday last. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased died from the effects of a wound in his throat, inflicted by himself whilst in a state of temporary insanity," P.4.RTRTDGE SuowriNG.—The season for this sport opened on Monday, but, owing to the lateness of the harvest, operations, we believe, will be delayed for a few weeks.

The courts and various buildings cover a space of thirty acres, and during the late war near 10,00() prisoners were lodged within the massive gates. The prisons are surrounded by a double wall and an iron railing; at certain distances on the inner %,all lamps used to be lit, and centries walked on the top, so that escape of the prisoner was almost impossible. The prisons at this time have the most gloomy appearance to parties who visit there ; on the eastern side are the coffins in which the un fortunate Frenchmen were buried, quite above the surface of the ground, caused by the storms of winter in this romantic region, and the curiosity of strangers seeking for remains.— Western Luminary, _ _ _ A CHILD BURNT TO DEATH.—On Thursday Mr. Payne held an inquest at St. Thomas's Hospital on the body of Janet I\l'Doriald, aged eight years, The deceased resided with her mother at No. 6, GrAre-place, Great Guildford street, Southwark. On Wednesday morning last the deceased was left at home with two other younger children. She wetted her frock and went to the fireplace to dry it, when the poker, which was red hot, f,-ll out and set her clothes on fire. She ran into the street, where Mr. Harris procured a sack and put the flames cut. She was wrapped in a blanket and carried to the hospital, where she died the same night. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The other of the deceased was killed about six months since by a packet of hops falling on him in Tooley-street. TIIE FISIIERY.—The driving bout: in the Mount s Bay have been very successful during the last three weeks, since their return from the Irish Fishery. Many of them have brought ashore as much as fifteen hogsheads of fine pilchards, and the average has been about five hogsheads each. During the past week, the total quantity secured by the Bay boats has teen about 1,000 hhds, and during the threc. weeks, nearly 3,000 hhds. On Saturday last the rein belonging to Messrs. Batten and Co., shot and secured about sixteen hhds, and OTI the following day the sein belonging to 11Ies•rs. Davy and Co., brought ashore a similar quantity. The principal portion of ihe fish has been placed in bulk, whilst some have been re tailed at Is. Bd. per hundred, and distributed in the country. The prospects of the pilchard fishery, upon the whole, are very encouraging, and the fishermen are in high spirits. We believe the success: they have experienced during the past week or two has been rarely surpassed-3,000 hhds. at 50s. per hhd. realise 7,500/.—and we hope our hardy fishermen will continue to be as successful as they deserve.—Penzance Gazette. ""SUICIDE PREVENTED.—The happy results of taking due precaution, so necessary with the dispenser of dregs, Has fully exemplified in the parish of St. Martin's, on Tuesday last. It appears that at about half-past seven o'cltek that mortang a poor woman, the wife of Christopher Wilson, residing near the union, and who had been in a low melancholy way some fair:, sent her son, a little boy, to Mr. Freeman's, drug twopennyworth of oxalic acid, stating that it Ali.

A KING SIDING WITtI TILE RADICAL PARTY.—II is known that in the last Swedish Parliament several bills, containing organic and radical improvements in the Constitu tion, were thrown out by the lards and the clergy, in opposi tion to the votes of the burgesses and peasantry, which latter is represented in Sweden. The King was, it seems, reluc tantly compelled to yield to such a powerful impulse. In one case, however, he did not, and gave his assent to a bill equa lizing the law of marriage and inheritance in :Al classes of so• ciety, which the nobles had protested against. This is the first step, as it were, to do away with primogeniture and the entailing of property. The Swedish papers are full in praise of King Oscar, and consider this act as an indication of a liberal and enlightened reign, like that of his late father.

" WILLIAM PRITCHARD, High Baliff. and Returning Officer for the Borough of Southwark. " Town-hall, Southwark, Sept. 5, 18 45." MEETING OF THE NON-ELECTORS. A meeting of the non electors, convened by plaeari, was held last evening, at the Chartist Rooms, Black friars-road, to take into consideration the three candi dates now before the electors of Southwark soliciting to represent the borough - in Parliament. At eight o'clock tl=e chair was taken by an operative named Nodder, whc, haling made a speech of so:ne on the ob jects of the nieeting, called Mr. Cooper, who has re c,ntly been liberated from Stafford gaol, to addrc:s the meeting. Mr. COOPF:R moved the first resolution, which was Co Loosely drasn up, that the speaker candidly admitted he could not understand it. Its nature, however, seemed. to be a statement respecting " the natural rights of man," as embodied in the People's Charter. The speaker proceeded to c3mment at sonic length on the five points of the Charter, :and concluded by expressing himself in favOur of Mr. who was au advocate of all those principles. Mr. FEARGUS O'Coxson next addressed the meeting. He complained that the placard convening the m eting had not invited Sir William Mulesworth to attend, that he might hear his (Mr. O'Connor's) answer to the ILm. Baronet's statement of the previous evening. Sir %Villiatn had, in his (Mr. O'Connor's) presence, stit, d that he was in favour of universal suffrage. and if he now denied it he was guilty of a falsehood. When he was a =di date for the borough of Leeds, his profession that he would support these two points were the strongest claims put forth on his behalf. But Chartist principles were more fashionable then than at present, and although the lion. Baronet was then ready to support them, he now shrui.k from the prospective inconvenience attending their advocacy. Mr. O'Connor tlit n went into a length• ened statement of his own political views, and corcludtd by seconding Mr. Miall as the only candilate worthy of the suffrages of the non-electors. He had ortt n quarrelled with Mr. Mall, but now he supported his principles they were as man and wife. The resolution was carried, and the meeting separated ,o 11 —2%! 47%1 45 %1 - SCOTTISH CENTRAL. _ The first ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this railway was held on Friday within the Council Cham ber, Perth. The meeting was very numerously attended. Major William Moray Stirling, of Ardoch and Abercair ney, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that a full statement of the affairs of the Company would be laid before the meeting. He could assure them that no line of the same extent and importance as the Scottish Central had passed both Houses of Parliament, especially considering the great opposition they had to encounter, with so little expense. He then called the attention of the meeting to the report, which he requested the Secretary to read to the meeting. The Secretary then read the report of the Directors. Mr. ERRINGTON, engineer, reported that the line had been almost entirely staked out, and that the proprietors of land along the line had efforded every facility to the Company, so that the work was commenced immediately upon the Bill passing the Committee of the House of Lords, and considerable progress had been made. The materials we re as favourable as could have been ex pected. Four shafts had been sunk. two of which were already down to a level of the tunnel, and the drift mine had been commenced. The open cutting and embank ment towards the Earn were also now in progress. Shafts had also been sunk for the tunnel at Kippemoss. The working section for that portion of the line re quiring the earliest completion—viz., between Stirling and Castlecarry, was prepared, and the section of the whole line would be completed in a week. He urged the Committee to procure the land as speedily as possible. The contractors had provided themselves with a suffi cient quantity of waggons, barrows, &c., to enable them to carry on the works without any delay. The iron rails, to a great extent, bad also been provided, and the engi neers would take care that the) should be laid as speedily as possible. The CHAIRMAN then congratulated the Shareholders upon the advanced and prosperous state of the business of the Company's concerns. He was happy to say that, in their arduous endeavours to get the Act, there had not been the delay of a single hour either on the part of their Parliamentary agents, engineers, or secretary. He was glad to avail himself of this opportunity of express ing his own thanks, and those of the gentlemen com posing the Committee, for the constant and unwearied aid and assistance which the Committee had received from them. A. H. M. BELSHES, Esq., of Invermay, moved the ap proval of the report. Provost WRIGHT seconded the resolution, which was unanimously approved of. THOMAS JACK, Esq., then moved that the seal of the Company sliould be affixed to the list of Shareholders. JAMES RAMSAY, Esq., seconded the resolution, which was carried, new. con. JOHN PITCAIRN, Esq., of Pitcairn, then moved the election of the Directors. The Right Hon. Lord Roux) seconded the election, which was unanimously agreed to. Sir JOHN RICHARDSON then moved the thanks of the meeting to the Provisional Committee, which was seconded by J. M. NAIRNE, Esq., of Dunsinane, and carried by ac clamation. The CHAIRMAN then said, it was their duty to ap point auditors, and the Directors had agreed to recom mend Mr. Watson, accountant, and Mr. Jas. Morrison, accountant, Perth, fur the approval of the meeting ; of course, it, was open to them to propose others if they thought proper. No other party being proposed, the recommendation of the Directors was unanimously agreed to. The salary for each auditor was fixed at 25/. per annum. The CHAIRMAN then proposed that R. D. Kerr, Esq., should be elected permanent secretary to the company. He left it with the meeting to fix the amount of salary to .be given to Mr. Kerr. His nomination having been agreed to, it was proposed and carried that the salary be 400/. per annum. The CHAIRMAN regretted that from domestic circum stances the Marquis of Breadalbane was not able to oc cupy the chair. He assured them that his Lordship felt a deep interest in the railway, and would do everything to promote its interest. It was then agreed that 5001. per annum should be al lowed to the Directors for the expenses. DAVID RITCHIE, Esq., of Huntingtower, moved a vote of thanks to the Directors, which being seconded by John Ritchie, Esq., of Cultmalunds, was carried nem. con. LIIDOVICK COLQUHOUN, Esq., then moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his conduct in the chair, and for his exertions in promoting the interests of the line. This resolution having been carried by acclamation, the Chairman made a brief and suitable reply, and the meet ing separated. EDINBURGH, LEITH, AND GRANTON. The peculiar situation of the Edinburgh, Leith, and Granton Railway is so marked with usefulness, that we need not to plead excuse in entering fully into its merits. The railway takes its rise from the station at the North Bridge, and passing by a tunnel under the New Town of Edinburgh, branches off to Granton Pier on the left, and to the Leith Docks on the right. The Granton branch is near completion, and when this valu able portion is open to the public, we shall then avail ourselves of the opportunity thus afforded of dilating upon its merits. The true interest of the Leith branch, however, is not known ; but when known, must be highly valued. Rails are to be laid round the docks of Leith, which is an advantage not attained in any sea port in the kingdom. But there is a branch which oiverges from the main line to the station lately pur chaz.ed for the use of the railway, consisting of nearly 700 lineal yards of quay on the north side of the upper harbour, on which large warehouses can be erected, and vessels can run alongside, and not only discharge or receive their cargoes without the expense of carriage, but also with this great advantage—of not being exposed to bad weather. The Leith Dock Commissioners, tieing quite alive to the importance of this railway, have it under consideration to deepen that part of the upper har bour, and by the formation of flood-gates above and be low this portion of the harbour, ata very trifling expense. very extensive dock room will be formed for large ves sels. which, being always kept afloat, will remove many obstacles to the use of this portion of the old harbour existing at present. Much credit is due to the energy and spirit that has been disp layed by the board in carry ing out their plans, and it is very much to be regretted that the public attention has not been drawn at an earlier period to these plans, which it has ever been their object to carry out.— Scach Railway Gazette. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAIL WAY, AND PRINCESS ROYAL STEAMER, FROM LIVERPOOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln Bradshaw 's Railway and Steam Navigation. Guide for this month, it is announced, at page 63, that " The Princess Royal, with passengers only, sails from the Egremont Slip, Prince's Pier•head, Liverpool, every . Wednes day and Friday, punctually at 5 30 P.m., on the arrival of the train which leaves London at 10 A.M., Birmingham at 1 45, and Manchester at 2 P.m." The appointments of this ship are published, in the adver tisement I allude to, more prominently and attractively than those of any other. Relying on them, I changed the route by which 1 intended travelling to Scotland, and came here yesterday by the London mail train, especially mentioned in the Guide, that I might proceed by the Princess Royal to Greenock, and keep engage ments I had made for this day in Edinburgh. The arrival of the train at Liverpool is advertised for 5 10 r. 31. ; it was about this hour when it reached the opening of the tunnel adjoininr , the terminus. Besides the time usually occupied there in collecting' the tickets from the passengers, there was a detention of the whole train (a long and heavy one, pith a multitude of passengers) for fully five minutes, in a search far the portmanteau of one gentleman, who quitted the train at the entrance of the tunnel ; and it was half. past five ere the body c f the passengers were set free at the other end. Others, with myself, hastened as fast as we could be driven to the Pier. head, but the Princess Royal had just left, and was then about 50 or 100 yards distant ; an d though we hurried into a boat t overtake her, she did not slacken her pace, nd the police assuring us that our attempt would be fruitle a ss, we desisted. I have thus been subjected to very great inconvenience, if not loss ; and as others were in the same predicament, and as greater evil may yet occur from similar causes if uncorrected I venture, through you, to suggest the necessity of either al ering the terms of the advertisement, or that the Princess Reyai should not depart until the arrival of the train for which the a dvertisement led me and others to believe she would wait. I was told that this train had recently been la e on seas ral occasions ; but as the time varied only from twenty to thirty minutes, that there was no doubt the steamer would wait for its arrival, which, in the advertisement, was made, apparently, a condition of the steamer's departure. MEETISG OF MR. FILCHER'S FRIENDS. T' he friends of Mr. Pitcher held another meeting last evening, at seven o'clock, at the Literary Institution, Borough-road, Mr. Charles Shaw in the chair. The admission was by ticket, and there was a very full at tendance of electors. The CH.IIRMAN, on opening the business, was received with loud applause. He was about to proceed, when a person in the gallery asked if he had been appointed by the meeting.—(Great uproar.) The Chairman answered that he had been elected by the unanimous sense of the meeting before that gontleu an came in. —(Cries of " No, no, it is a packed meeting.") He wished it to be fairly conducted, and now he asked that gentleman to stand up and say what he had to advance against him. The person alluded to then got up and protested against the course taken. It was the usual course to wait till the meeting had assembled, and then to appoint the chairman. In the present instance a select few had been admitted by a private door, and Mr. Shaw had taken the chair before the regular door was open to the electors generally. It was evidently a scheme to pack. the meeting.—(Uproar.) The CHAIRMA.I4 said he would now proceed to open the meeting.--(" No, no," hisses, and great uproar, in which the speaker's voice was drowned.) After a few minutes, comparative order was obtained, a hen the Chairman resumed. He was in the chair by right, and he would keep it.—(Uproar.) The person who had in terrupted the meeting would have every oppor!unity of having his say before the meetiug had closed. What, he would ask, was the occasion of the present meeting ? It was one of a series of gatherings greater than any that had previously taken place. 'I hey were in the midst of a contested election, and they had to consider the claims of those seeking their franchises to r: present in the ;louse of Commons this great intelligent corn inorcial community. There were three candidates: the first was a learned man, and some said a reverendn tleman, and he asked them to elect him because he ad no rank, claim, or reputation by which he was entitled to command their respects.—(Cries of "Read it right, you are misrepresenting it.") Ile had none of those things which candidates are expected to posses .. He said he was plor, and though poverty was sometimes a virtue, yet when a man was placed in a high office he ought to be in circumstances to pay his debts. They would, therefore, consign to the tomb of the Capulets this gentleman, without rank, property, or reputation, who wanted the title of M.P. to protect himself against his creditor. Mr. Miall said votes by ballot.-(Very good.) The gentleman says very good, but they had tried it in France for many years, and found it very bad. It had been there only a mask for corruption. Would English men submit to this—men who had been in the habit of meeting in political di,cussion fats to face, and inde pendently stating their convictions ?—(Uproar, which for some time arrested the proceedings of the Chairman.) lie would leave the ballot and go to universal suffrage. He would enfrarchin the honest anti industrious man, but he would not give votes to the thief and the beggar.—(Cheers and uproar.) The Chairman then went at some length, and amidst considerable uproar, to dissect the political and religions principles of Mr. Miall and Sir William Molesworth, in doing which ho declared the latter to be an infidel for editinr , Hobb,s's works, and concluded by calling on Mr. Filcher to ad dress the meeting. Mr. PILCIIER begged a patient hearing from the meeting, as he was sure they must all be tired with the interruptions that had already taken place. He was happy to stand before his brother electors ; and, in call ing them brother electors, he considered that he enjoyed a privilege beyond the ether candidates. He had a still further claim upon their indulgence, because it so hap pried that he was born in the borough, and if they re turned him as their Member he was sure is would reflect no disgrace upon them that they returned one of them selves.—(Cheers and cries of " Never.")

THE LATE W lIIRLWIND AT ROUEN.—M. Arago has communicated to the Pa.. is Academy of Science the ob servations of some of its correspondents upon the extraordinary meteor which caused such dire effects at Rouen. The disas trious visitation commenced in the valley of Malauney and the valley •f Monville, about half-past twelve o'clock in the day. by the rapid shock of winds and clouds striking in opposite directions, preceded by gusts of an extraordinarily hot wind equally remarked at Paris, and so burning that the mit-- tress of an inn, although standing before a kitchen fire, felt it, as well as many other persuus, on all of whom it produced a most oppressive effect. Similar electrical phenomena soon followed. It was remarked that the whirlwind presented the shape of an inverted cone, of which the point looked red. It did not proceed in a right line, but z;g-sag, and particularly in the direction were there were ma-sea of iron or steel, such as factories, leaving untouched the intermediate spaces. What is more extraordinary, it only struck parts of the same house, those parts having quantities of ironwork, leaving untouched the parts which had little or none. Trees of a century were in some places twisted, in others torn up, and in other places broken. But the most remarkable feature of the whole eas this, that a quantity of substances, some of great weight, such as planks of wood, five feet in length, were sucked up into the air, and carried to a distance of nine leagues after a journey of seven hours. While the tempest was at its height, the barometer fell 17 millemetres, a fact proved by Professor Preisser. The philosopher does not doubt that the phenomenon was essentially electric. During the passage of the whirlwind, from which flashes of lightning played, some persons smelled a sulphurous odour, and heard a rollnaes g workmen felt felt themselves moved to and fro, while flam flashed before their eyes.

Mr. Charles Alfred Trill, of South Farm, Broadwater, while on his return f ro m Brighton on horseback, about twelve o'clock, was stopped while the other two dragged him from ground, whe n they by three rnen dressed as " navvies."

One of them attempted to draw out his watch, on which Mr. Trill placed lob, and exclaimed. " Pray don't take the watch ;" and with most extraordinary forbearance, aided, per haps, by an apprehension of intertuption if they remained any longer, the thieves made off, leaving the watch safe in the owner's fob. One of them expedited his departure in riding away with their victim's horse. From inquiries subsequentl y made, it appears that the thieves did not cross the bridge ; and it is hence inferred that they made the best of their way ova r the hills at the back of the Sussex Pad. About nine e'elo tk on the following morning the horse strayed home alone.— Brighton Gazette.
