CLERKEN WELL.-(T EIIS DAY.) Two men, named Pugs'ey and Rawlins, were charged with the following assault upon Mr. J. Dwyer, inspector of streets for St. Luke's parish. The complainant, who is a feeble old man, deposes', that on the previous evening, he was getting away a horse and dray that were obstructing the street (St. John's-street), when a mob collected, amongst whom were the prisoners. Without any provocation the prisoners all kicked him, knocked off his hat into th,s mud and jumped upon it ( the hat and gold lace were valued at 2i.) ; they then tore his great coat to rags, knocked him down and kicked him. He had given them no provocation whatever. The prisoners were fined in the whole amount, 31. ss. for damage and assault, or ten days' imprisonment. SOUTHWARK—(THIS DAY.) ELECTIONEERING.—Patrick Regan, an Irishman, was charged with creating a disturbance, and assaulting policeman 92 M. The policeman stated, that being on duty in Tooley-street the preceding night, he heard the prisoner vociferating 's Pil cher for ever, and d—n those who don't vete for him." lie was drunk at the time, and created a good deal of disturbance. When desired to go home, he refused, and kicked the policeman in the shins, and be!.aved otherwise with considerable violence, so that it was with difficulty he was at, length conveyed to the station• house. • Mr. TRAIL'. asked the prisoner why he behaved with such violence, and whether he was one of Mr. Pilcher's sup porters ? Prisoner—l was engaged in keeping the door where the meeticg was held, and having taken a drop too much on my way home, I don't know exactly what I did, but don't recollect kicking the man's thins. Evidence having been adduced that the prisoner had on other occasions acted with great violence towards the police, he was committed for a month. MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED). THE BANKER'S MAGAZINE. Two of the best papers in this number are those on the " Proposed Fund for Bankel s' Clerks" and one on " Deposit Assurance Companies." In the former the able editor gives us an opportunity of appreciating the vrry extensive and benevolent, though unostentatious, efforts he has set on foot in favour of the contemplated fund, and he gives us some valuable answers elicited by the cit cular he had addressed to the principal banking houses and monetary establishments, calling f,r their opinion on the project. In the latter we find that he is favourable to the important plan of life assurance de posits, but has some doubts as to the possibility of a company founded on this principle-being able to recon cile the interests of the assurers with a due regard to those of its own body. There is also a capital paper on savings' banks. The ulagszine maintains its very power ful claims on the confidence and consideration of the public. THE SPORTING MAGAZINE. The article on the delinquencies of servants is con cluded in this number. It should Le studied by every sporting man who wishes to have or to make a good servant, and by every servant who wishes to obtain or to keep a good place. To both classes—masters and servants—we would recommend the following observa- tions :- 4' There is no surer evidence in my mind between a bad ser vant and a good one than a readiness or unwillingness to com municate the secrets of the stable. A good servant never tells anything ; a bad one will blab' to anybody. The good servant always makes the best of everything ; a bad servant, the worst. Some half-witted fellows imagine they are currying favour, and perhaps securing assistance into other places, when they answer all the questions that may be put them by a would-be cautious purchaser ; but servants may depend upon it, though a man may use them for the occasion, that he will make a pretty strong mem. in his own mind never to let such chatter-box tell tales into his own stable. One of the first lessons a lad should ba taught should be to • keep his own counsel and the counsel of his horses.' Look at the silent importance of a trainer's lad. True, he doesn't know much, but still he pre tends to: it is part of our system." The illustrations of the present number are " The Trial," a spirited representation of the morning gallop across the Newmarket Downs, and " What do you call this?" —representing two brothers of the angle, seated at a well-spread breakfast-table, one of whom is exhibiting to the other an artificial fly. THE RAILWAY REGISTER. The series of papers on railways in India is brought to a conclusion in the present number. These papers are so valuable, and the subject on which they treat is one of such great national importance, that we would fain hope the proprietors of this periodical will publish them in a collected form in a pamphlet. Such a pamphlet would be a text-book on the subject of Indian railways! From an article on the recent revision of the " Standing Orders," we extract the following r esume of the results of the deliberations of Lord Granville Somerset's Committee : " In fine, the result of this five days' grave deliberation upon standing orders was to leave the whole clumsy machinery essentially the same as they found it ; the only difference being -Ist. That the quorum in the Committee on petitions for private Bills is reduced from five to three ;-2d. That in regard to the appointment of Sub-Committees on petitions for pri vale Bills, the words ' each consisting of seven mem bers at the least,' have been omitted;—and 3dly. That the Select Committee on Standing Orders is to consist of seven instead of eleven members, five to be a quo rum. The effect of all these alterations, by diminishing the number requisite for working purposes, is doubtless to in. crease the facilities for the formation cf Committees, and in so far to promote the dispatch of business. But it must be ob vious that this is but a mitigation of the severe effects of a great evil, the inherent viciousness of which still remains. Still will blundering Sub-Committees report unintelli g ibly to the Committee up-stairs ,— s till will the y decide with cruel pre cipitancy upon cases which they cannot pretend thoroughly to understand. Above all, still will unscrupulous opponents harass projectors, and waste the time of Parliament with frivolous and vexatious objections, without the fear of any penalty. " With respect to the standing orders themselves, they have been slightly altered in some few particulars, which it may be useful here to state. " In Standing Order 9, respecting the presentation of pe titions complaining of non-compliance, the words are inserted , provided that the party affected by ihe non-compliance with the standing orders be cognisant of and consent to, the pre sentation of the petition,' which will, to a certain extent, Le a protection to promoters. "In Nos. 22 and 27, respecting the deposit of plans, the words, clerks of unions,' have been substituted for ' post masters.' " No. 36 A is anew order, declaring that, except with regard to notices affixed to church-doors,' no notice given, nor appli cation made, on Sunday or Christmas -day, or before eight o'clock in the forenoon, or after eight o'clock in the afternoon of any day, shall be deemed valid.' " No. 39 A requires the deposit of one-tenth instead of one twentieth of the subscribed capital with the Court of Chan cery previous to the presentation of the petition. An excep tion, however, is made in favour of Bills which have been before Parliament during the past cession, and shall be again intro duced next session, and in regard to which the deposit of one twentieth of the capital will .be sufficient. "No. 102 requires that all petitions for private Bills should to presented within fourteen (instead of twenty-one) days after the first Friday in the session ; and No. 104 ordains seven instead of ten days to elapse between the presentation of the pe:ition and the sitting of the Sub-Committee, for England, and ten days instead of fifteen days for Ireland and Scotland. The effect of these alterations is to expedite matters at the begin n!fig of the session. " By 40. 123, as altered, Thursdays as well as Tuesdays will be days appointe.l for considering the reports on railway Bills." The article concludes with a copy of tle new Standing Orders admitting Railway Bills which h.ve been en gros,ed in the session of 1845 ad elvaleni let the session of 1846, which have already appeared in The Sun.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A young man of respectable appearance, wl,o claims to be closely related to the Royal Family, and who g charged with ave his tame as Edward William Searle, was placed at the bar making a forcible entry into Clarence House, and with wilfully breaking a pane of glass. Giles Midwinter, of the Ist Grenadier Guards, said, that at half-past six o'clock last evening he was on duty as sentry at Clarence House (the residence of the Duchess of Kent), when the prisoner came to the gates, and after some parley %kith the servants, attempted to get into the house by force; one of the servants turned him out, and witness endeavoured to persuade him to go away, but he could not be persuaded that he had not as much right to free ingress and egress as the Duchess of Kent herself, and witness was at last obliged to bring him to might occur in consequence of the incompetency or care- lessness of RaTCiway - Collin') ; but when we see how 1 the Board of Trade have executed their functions in regard to the inspection of third-class carriages, we are inclined to ask, " Quis cusiodiet iposos custodes ?" Who shall protect us against the consequences of the incom petency and carelessness of the Board cf Trade ? As observed by the author of a paper on the subject in the periodical now under review— " The simple fact appears to be that the Board of Trade approved of anything which the several railway companies proposed in compliance with the loose phraseology of the clause; and that the most odious horse - bo xes, ill-ventilated, ill-lighte, sometimes not lighted at all, and seldom susceptible of light concurrently with ventilation, have been put together for the accommodation,' or rather discouragement of this class of travellers." After reading this article we are inclined to join with the writer in expressing our wonder as to what the Board of Trade would net, permit. In au article on the subject of the Hignett affair, the Railway Register takes up the cudgels for the North Kent Company, and as serts that there is no proof in the evidence of the truth of the charge brought by inuendo against that Company. We have also pipers on the various new lines of rail way which have been proposed during the month, and which are illustrated by maps drawn on a large scale, and which by inspection give an inquirer a far more accurate idea of the respective lines than he could at tain by reading pages of mere description. the station-house. J. seph Prophett said that he was a servant at Clarence House, and that the prisoner came to the gates last night, at the hour specified by the sentry, and asked whether the Duchess of Kent was at home? Witness replied that she mas not, and asked him whether he was not the person who had been there a few days before, and bad asked the same question. He said that he was, and that the Duchess of Kent was his mother. He had not seen her for several years, and he was de termined he would see her now. He then rushed past him, and ran up stairs. but on getting to the top of the flight, he he sitated which way to turn, and stopped for a short time to look about him. Witness then overtook him, and caught hold of him to put him nut, which he was not able to du, till he got the assistance of other servants and of,the sentinel. The prisoner, it appeared, had, on getting to the station, asked fer writing materials, and wrote a letter, which was prc i duced in court, and of which we give a copy : " Westminster. --- HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT. GoTire, TUESDAY. — The great concert is over, but it will live to be recorded in musical annals as the largest meeting of untaught artists that ever assembled together. It was an assemblage of 930 singers and 142 instrumental performers, who met together for the purpose of singing their national melodies, and the pleasure of listening to them was unmarred by a single twinge of the turgid technicalities of music. It was an amateur concert, be cause each particular performer paid his own expenses, and, moreover, contributed a small sure towards the general expenditure fur music, &c. The ThUringer Sangerbund is a society composed of musical amateurs from every kingdom, dukedom, and principality in the adjacent country, who meet together: every year to sing the national melodies. Yesterday was the third annual festival; and the great occasion of the Queen's visit to Gotha caused a greater assemblage than on the preceding festivals. The singers from the several states, each preceded by its banner, arrived in Gotha early in the morning. Twenty-one towns and cities sent forth their singers yesterday to greet our Queen. Amongst them were bands from Suhl. Geor genthal, Neukirchen, Schmalkalden, Gotha, Erfurt, Soannerda, Groesbreiterbech. Stadiihn, Eisennuch, Sehnepfenthal, Friedrichsroda, Chrdruff, and other places in the vicinity. The more distant cities, too, of Hamburgh, Dresden, Munich, and even Frankfort, were represented by their deputies. The royal box was placed opposite to the orchestra ; it must in common parlance be called a box, although it was big enough to hold a very respectably-sized moun tain. A space of about one hundred yards inttrvened between the orchestra and royal box, and along this space seats were erected for the thaler-paying public ; whilst the great mass of mankind and womankind, who had been carted into the town from the surrounding country, were as usual allowed free admission to the gardens, beautiful park. and terraces of the Friedenstein Palace, from which they could see and hear as well as their more exclusive countrymen. The royal party arrived at a quarter past three ; the Queen, the Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the Duchess of Kent, came in one carriage. Her Majesty was received with shouts of welcome from the assembled multitude, and forests of heti and handkerchiefs waved along the living hedge rows as the carriage drove up the avenue. As soon as the royal party were seated, the singers burst out in a song of welcome to Queen. Victoria and Friedenstein. A little professor named Detinhardt then stood up and hollaed a speech to our di-taut Queen. It was probably very loyal and eloquent, but it was certainly inaudible, for Lablache could scarcely have bellowed loud enough to be heard at such a distance. These were the preliminary proceedings. The con cert now began with an overture of Weber's ; and the singers then lifted up their voices in Mehul's benedic tion ; and the rich harmony of these hundred voices, mellowed by the intervening distance, seemed to strike her Majesty with astonishment and admiration. After the tw o next following Lieder, the singers joined heart and voice in War dersleb's spirit-stirring song, " Wie herrlich ist mein Vaterland." Wordsworth talks of the cattle in a field, " forty feeding like one"—there were one thousand singing as one man ; hymning their beau tiful country's praise in strains such as were never heard before, without any sacrilegious roof to prevent the pealing of their myriad voices from ascending up to the blue vault of heaven. It was impossible to listen to such a song, sung in such a manner, without feeling inspired by those feelings of patriotism and netionality which per vade the whole of Germany. A song of liberty followed; succeeded by Reichardt's far-famed song, " Was ist den Deutschtn Vaterland," the words by Arndt. This was admirably sung ; and the surrounding auditory was so inspired by the scene, that they could scarce refrain from joining in the chorus. Some of the singers then retired to take refreshment, and, during their absence, the orchestra played several airs. " God save the Queen" being the most frequently heard The second part commenced with Wandersleb's well knoivn song, " Was ist so hehr," followed by an ode in celebration of the festival. Then came Mendelssohn's beautiful melody, " The hunter's farewell." It must be no easy matter to modulate one thousand voices, and re duce them to the expression of feelings of the softest, gentlest nature ; but it would be impossible to describe the thrilling effect produced by the tenors' "Lebe Webb, Lebe Wohl, du Schoner Wald," at one echoed by the rich bass voices, as if pealing through the distant pine forests. What would Mendelssohn have said to have seen twenty thousand of his countrymen listening breathless with intense delight and excitement, whilst one thousand of his countrymen were singing his me odies " TO H. R. H. DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. " The King of England, Ed. Wm. Searle, is detained in a common lock-up-house for breaking his own, or rather his mother's, window. " I appeal to you whether I am what I have stated, and whether the Duchess of Kent is not my mother- im-lavr. such should not be the case, I am willing to abide whatever 'sliment they may inflict upon me (or penalty). - cannot be blind to what has been going on in London and in France, particularly this last two months, without supposing myself to be related toyou and the Ro y al Family of England in some way or other, but how, God only knows. " I have submitted to punishment enough lately, and I beg of you, I implore you on my knees, to afford me the informa tion I have so long wished fur, but in vain." The remainder of this extraordinary document is illegible,but it is signr7d Edward William Searle, and directed to the Duke of Cambridge. The prisoner said that it was false that he had represented himself as King of England, but that he was cer tainly related to the Royal Family, and that his object in caring on the Duchess of Kent was to ascertain what was the nature of the ties which connected hint with her, and with the Royal Family. He continually interrupted the witnesses by ex clamations having no connexion with their evidence; and made several inconsistent and incoherent statements. William Burgess, tailor, of the Strand, said that the prisoner . lodged w:t's him for about twelve months. He knew se veral of the prisoner's friends. Mr. Greenwood, a barrister, wa , , he believed, an uncle of his. He knew the prisoner had friends and relatives in Durham, but not in Lozdon. Mr. Greenwood did not live in London. The prisoner was then put back, in order that Mr. Twy ford might communicate with the parish autho rities, and in the meantime the prisoner wrote a note, which he sent in'o Court, and which was as follows: — 'Mr. Magistrate,—Sir,-1 promise you faithfully I will not in any way molest anybody during my short stay in London, and I will not visit any of the royal palaces, if you wilt set me at liberty. " EDWARD W. SEARLE." Mr. TWVFOItD sent a message to the Guardians of the Poor of St. Giies's, and informed them that a lunatic had been found in their parish. They agreed to take the prisoner into the union, and said they would have him examined by a medical man. They tromised that if the result was that the prisoner was found to be insane, proper care should be taken of him. ne majestic simplicity of this " Abichied" left too • deep an impression on the audience to enter full swing into the "Vatalandsliedtr" which followed. The last song was our national anthem• after which the Queen came forward and bowed her acknowledgments to the multi tude, who were loosed into the railed arena before the departure of the royal party. The Queen and the Duchess of Saxe -Coburg Gotha, with their two royal consorts, left in the same royal carriage, King Leopold and his Queen followed in a close landau, and the re mainder of the suite in open carriages. To-morrow the Queen will take leave of her hospit abl3 friends, and will proceed to Fulda, where she will pass the night. On Thursday night the royal travellers will sleep at the Hot€l d'Angleterre, at Frankfurt ; and early on Friday morning will proceed from thence by railway to Mayence, where her Majesty will embark on board the Fairy, ,and go down the Rhine to Cologne. Her Majesty will sleep at Deutz, on the opposite bank of the Rhine, and proceed to Antwerp early on Saturday morning by railway. Her Majesty will make no stay at Antwerp, but will embark at once in the royal yacht and steam down the Scheldt. The royal yacht will lay to on Sunday, and arrive at the Isle of Wight early on Mon day morning.

D'EsTE.—Sir Thomas Wilde was married about three weeks since to Mdlle. D'Este. The event was, for the first time, thus publicly announced in the papers of the 30th ult.:— " Married, on the 13th inst., by special license, Sir Thomas Wilde to Augusta Emma d'Este, daughter of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex." This unicn, which ap pears to have been for a long time in contemplation, has been frequently alluded to in the public papers, and as frequently contradicted "by authority." The church in which the marriage was celebrated was that of St. Al phage, London-wall. The only persons present besides the happy pair were the Right Hon. Sir Stephen Lushington (who gave away the bride), the Rev. Mr. Hutchins (who performed the ceremony), and the parish clerk. The bride arrived quite privately from Tunbridge Wells, and was ele gantly attired, and wore a profusion of diamonds. The who ce remony was performed by special license. The bride, looked exceedingly well, and in excellent spirits, possessing a very commanding appearance, has just entered her fiftieth year. Sir Thomas Wilde, who is a widower of about sixty years of age, is reputed to be extremely wealthy. Lady Wilde has hitherto derived her income from allowances made by the Crown. During the past year her Majesty granted to her an annual pension of 5001. charged upon the Civil-list revenues. It may be observed that in the tabular form of the certificate of marriage, wherein the name of the father of the bride is required to be inserted, " the Duke of Sussex" is simply placed opposite to the daughter's name, without any honorary addition (such as " his Royal Highness") declaring him to have been of the blood royal.— Post. TILE IlmtvEsT.—The weather for the last fortnight has been remarkably favourable, and harvest operations have now generally commenced in the district round Beverley. — Hull Advertiser. COMPLETION OF TILE ALBERT GATES AT KNIGHTS BRIDGE. —Yesterday the workmen completed painting the ele gant pair of new iron gates, which have recently been erected at the Albert carriage entrance, from out of Knightsbridge into Hyde Park. These gates were erected at the expense of Mr. Cubitt, the builder, of Pimlico, who has presented them to the Crown. the cost of the gstes was upwards of 700/. The old wood Tailings which are now in front of the carriage-drive in the park, will immediately be removed, and elegant iron ones, similar to those at the Hyde Park-corner entrance to Rotten-row, substituted, with also a wide carriage -road, com municating with Rotten-row. ADVANCE OF WAGES.—We are glad to hear that the counterpane manufacturers of Bolton have agreed to ad vance the wages of their weavers. A petition to this effect being handed round amongst the manufacturers, they at once acceeded to the request of their workpeople, and on Saturday their wages were advanced nearly ten per cent. This will make an advance of twenty-five per cent. in the wages in this department of trade during the year. The whole of the weavers ate in full work, and the greatest unanimity subsists between the employers and the employed.—Leeds Times.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. 3 TIIE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC. The experiments on this new and interesting Fin _l" 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 Com _ _ party, and several of the Directors. Mr. Samuda, as - oefore, directed the proceedings. On this occasion there were five 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 derstauding 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, b ieg ou - the average 30 miles an hour. On the return a greater - speed was attained, the barometer at starting indicating above 21 inches, or . loi lbs. of atmospheric pressure on the square inch of the piston. There was no 12% 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, gieing 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 - Lance was accomplished iu seven minutes, being _ raihet above forty-three miles an hour. The return to - Croydon was equally satisfactory. The Larometer in dicated irons 26 meths, the maximum, to 11 inches, the minimum, or from 13 to 5i pounds on each squa re inch. - the result is such as must satisfy the must sceptical, - because the experiments have clearly proved that a _ greater degree of speed can by the atmospheric principle - be communicated in a lesser time than by the pr. sent sys ., t am, while all possibility of those fearfu l accidents that 7 have se lately happened on different lines are completely 4 - avoided. Every day tends to lessen the unimportant dis - advantages arising from the want of a thorough under = standing between the differentdeparements on the railway, 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 lccomotive en,ines will be so marked as to silence every caviller. 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 t hat no workmen L should remain on the line, an Irishman, named Michae - 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 _ f- ore he could get out of the way, the train, - which was at the moment proceeding at the rate of some forty miles an hour, passed over him, ciu,hing _ his head upon the iron tube, and completely separating 6% both arms and one leg from his body. The carriages 7% 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 coroner'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. • - NORTH BRITISH. On Wednesday the half-yearly general meeting of the pro : prietors was held at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh; Mr. John _ Learmonth in the chair. The report, after referring to the sanction given to the di - rectors at a previous meeting, to form certain branches, and to \ : extend the line from Berwick to Carlisle, stated that the diree. 2y tors would use every means in their power to obtain an Act _ next session authorising the execution of these works; and if, as they hoped, they should be able to arrange with the land owners through whose property the extension from Hawick to Carlisle was proposed to be carried, and the shareholders sanc tioned their doing s , r, they would proceed with the works upon that line simultaneously with those upon their branch from Edinburgh to Hawick, in anticipation of, and before actually getting their Act. Since last half.yearly meeting, in February, the works upon the main line had been proceeded with in a veiy satisfactory manner. A large portion of the permanent way was already laid, and there was not any reasonable ground for doubting that the whole line would be contpleted and opened by the time originally proposed, viz., May next. The engines end carriages were in a state of consideralle forwardness, and several of them would soon be ready for being delivered. The other parts of the plant were also being got ready. The plans ot the principal stations had been pre pared, and contracts were about to be made fur executing them. The settlements with landowners had been nearly completed, there being but a very few cases now finally to arrange. Upon the whole, the arrangements had been satis factory, the exceptions being very limited in number. A con siderable amount of loans had been got at a moderate rate of interest, for five years and upwards. The arrears upon the calls were small, a,,d they had been considerably reduced since the date of the balance at 31st July. Thu call recently msde had been Kell paid, and a good many payments had been made in advance. The future calls would require to be made as quickly as the provisions of the Act of Parliament would admit, in order to meet the demands consequent on the rapid progress of the works. The Edinburgh and Hawick and Dalkeith Arts have now obtained the royal assent ; the stock of these com panies had been transferred to this company, and was in course ot being issued to the parties entitled to it. Ihe alteration on the works of the Dalkeith line and branches would be pro ceeded with immediately on possession of them being got. This would be done early in October. The two first contracts on the Haw ick branch, being the heaviest work, had been advertised, and the contracts would be made on 10th September. The others would follow as quickly as possible. A considerable portion of the land upon that branch had already been purchased at fair prices, and immediate measures would be taken for acquiring the re mainder, with the view of pushing forward the works with every possible dispatch. The land already acquired, and that which had yet to be bought, would be sufficient to admit of a double line of rails being laid ; and, as authorised by the Share holders, the line would be laid as a double one at once. The curves would also be improved, so as to render this a first-class lir.e. After noticing the motion submitted by Mr. 13Iackadder, to the effect, that there should be no trains nor traffic of any kind on this railway on the Sabbath-day, the report said, that while the Directors deprecated the discussion of this question, they thought it right to state to the Shareholders that they had no intention of running any more trains on Sundays than they should consider absolutely necessary for the accommodation of the public upon that day, and they hoped to be able to arrange them so as to give as little offence as possible to the feelings of any party. The report of Mr. Miller, the Company's engineer, after describing the contract sections of the line, stated that the whole of the works were in such an advanced state that the greater portion of the contracts might be concluded this year, and all of them within the period specified in the con tracts. After an amendment, to put an end to Sunday travelling,had been lost, the report was accordingly carried. MANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM. • MANCHESTER, FRIDAY.—A meeting of this Company was • held this day at the Company's station, with reference to the • amalgamation of the line with the London and Birmingham Company. The meeting was an extremely crowded one. Previous to the general meeting a preliminary one was held at the Albion Hotel, which was very numerously attended, and - at which Mr. Whittaker presided, when the report of the - Directors having been read, the meeting unanimously agreed - to a resolution to this effect :—" That the Shareholders should 2 1/ Nox adopt the recommendation of the Directors regarding - the proposed amalgamation." The meeting then adjourned 4, 2 to the railway station, where Mr. Westhead took the chair, 21i and ultimately to the Corn Exchange, for want of sufficient room. The Secretary read the report, of which the following is an extract : " From the accounts as rendered it will be seen that a large - increase has taken place in the amount received for thecconNcy - ante of passengers and goods compared with the corresponding half-year in 1844 £3B ll a lf-year ending July 31, 1844 .... ,488 9 4.. £ 14,304 12 0 2z 423 July 31, 1845 •• x 3,970 43,970 1 8 3.. , £5,482 811 £8,12.1 3 8 Total increase. •• • ...£13,606 12s. 7d.

This large accession o. passen gers, &c., together with the reductions ahicb have taken place in fares and rates, will necessarily occasion an increase in the working expenses of the line.

The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said he and his co-Directors, in the discharge of their duty, had deemed it advisable to recommend to the Shareholders a course in refer ence to their line, and that of the Londun and Birmingham Company, to which he understood exception would be taken • by some, and that step, had been taken, by the issue of proxies and other means, to proem e a strong objection to the remainder. He had also heard that it had been reported abroad that the Directors had endeavoured to reduce their dividend to the mi nimum, with a view to inducing the Proprietors to believe that it would be exceedingly advantageous to them to accede to the terms on which the amalgamation was proposed. He begged, in reply to that, to say that the account the Directors had laid before the meeting was a most honest, and just, and fair ac count. After some further remarks, the Chairman read same passages from a statement which he said had been put forward in the public papers, and signed " Sale and Worthing ton," which he conceived tended to put a wrong construc tion upon the acts of the Directors, and he commented in strong language upon it. He also read extracts from a apeech made by Mr. Glynn, in order to show that it was not contem plated by the London and Birmingham Company to make any bargain prejudicial to the interests of this Company. Having spoken at great length in defence of the Directors' recommen • elation, he concluded by moving that the account be first adopted, and the meeting could afterwards consider the report. In answer to a question from Mr. Sale, he said the only inti mation which be had had of any intention to oppose the pro position for an amalgamation, was on the Sti of September, in the shape of a notice signed " Sale and Worthington," to the effect that they would apply for an injunction to restrain the London and Birmingham Company from paying the sum pro posed to he taken for the amalgamation, viz., 18,6001. A very warm and protracted discussion ensued. The CHAIRMAN said, teceiving the report did not bind them fo receive the proposed 18,000/. from the London and Bir mingham Company. Sir. THOMASON addressed the meeting at considerable length, and concluded by proposing an amendment, to the effect that the Shareholders should not adopt the report, or take any step towards effecting an amalgamation on the terms proposed; which was seconded by Mr. LAND, of Leeds, amidst considerable applause. Mr. llrrcncocK next addressed the meeting in a long speech, and proposed an amendment, to the effect that they should appoint a deputation to go with their Directors to the London and Birmingham Company, with a view to ascertain if they could effect an amalgamation upon more advantageous terms; but the announcement of the suggestion was received with symptoms of disa;iprobation. Sir. JOSEPH STOCi:S Si4o)ltied the motion ; after anoth r discursive discussion ensued, which was kept up until ten minutes past four o'clock, when the most clamourous out cry for a division having been rased, The CHAIRMAN rose to put the amendment, and expressed a hope that if it should be put, the meettnes- would not hold tiim responsible for the consequences, and having spoken of the labour he had gone through on behalf of the inte rests of the Company, he put the question on Mr. Ilithcock's amendment with the proposition for a deputation, which was aegatived by a large majority. He then put Mr. Thomason's amendment, that the report should not be adopted, and that no amalgamation should take place, which was carried amidst shouts of applause. When our reporter left, the Chairmen was in the act of announcing that a scrutiny seas demanded, to which many vo'ces were heard expressing dissent, while several persons left the room. NORTH KLNT. DEAL, FRIDAY.—An important meeting of the inhabitants of Deal, Weimer, and the surrounding districts, was held this afternoon, at the Guildhall, to take into consideration the pro jected independent line through North Kent, arid for the adoption of means for promoting the establishment of a direct communication with London. The Mayer (C. Vimgomill, Esc.) entered the hall, accom panied by a del utation from the North Kent Company, con sisting of George Whitmore, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the North Kent Company, Mr. J. D. Bowie, Mr. Spagnolle, the engineer, and Mr. Stephens, the solicitor. The Mayor having taken the chair, on the understanding that he should remain neuter, Mr. KENDRICK proposed the first resolution, to the effect that a connexion between London and Deal, through the northern and most populous parts of Kent, connecting the naval and military establishments of the country with each other, and also with the metropolis and the Downs, is of great national and local importance; and that a direct and inde pendent line will be most conducive to the interests of the in hdbie•nts of North Kent and to the public service. Mr. S. CURLING seconded the motion, which Mr. PRITCHA RD opposed, on the ground that the South- Eastern Company would effect all that was desired by the meeting ; they had brought a line down to Dover quite suffi cient for all the purposes of the county.—(Cries of " no, no," and hisses.) He moved, as an amendment, that the words " seperate and independent" be cancelled from the resolution. Mr. PownEs, at great length, defended the proposed North Kent line. '1 he Mayon. then put the amendment, but no one, save the proposer, held up his hand. The original motion was then put, and carried by acclamation. Mr. VIONOLLES then described the course of the line. The Committee of the House of Commons did not reject the North Kent line on account of the engineering details not being of a satisfactory character, but principally on account of its not run ning to Deal.—( Cheers.) He was assured that if they had at first come forward with a line of a large character, and connect ing that town with a direct line from the metropolis, that they would have carried it in the last session.—(Cheers.) They would now have an opportunity of increasing their capilal to such a sum as would be sufficient to construct lines to Maid stone arid to Dover, in addition to contributing their quota to wards the construction of the central terminus. Major EDWA tens represented the opposition towards the South-Eastern Company, and considered that that company had at first proposed to give accommodation to Deal. Mr. HUGHES proposed a resolution to the effect that the line laid down by Mr. Vignollee, called the North Kent line, will afford to the north of Kent, and to this locality generally, the most direct and most advantageous line to the metropolis. Mr. KNECKER entered at considerable length into the merits of the North Kent line, and cited the case of Mr. Bonham, to show that the present management of the South-Eastern Com pany was most defective and corrupt, and strongly called upon the meeting not to trust themselves in their hands, but to con struct an independent line to London. Mr. BIJRNAND seconded the motion. 111 r. Elini; TI:W.11,0"N moved an amendment, to the effect that any decision world be premature. The MAYOR then put the amendment, which was lost, there being only nine hands held up in favour of it. The original motion was they. put, and carried unanimously. SHREWSBU TA F RY, WOLVERHRE JAMUNCTI ON PTON, AND SOUTH SFORDSHI. WOLVERHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING.-.—This afternoon a meeting of the Provisional Committee, and of those inhabitants favourable to the projected line, took place at the Swan Hotel, in this town. The line had been determined upon in conse quence of some dissatisfaction which had been expressed at the conduct of the Directors of the Shrewsbury, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway Company, whose scheme was rejected by the Standing Orders Committee early last session. The Right Hon. Lord Hatherton presided, and was sup ported by Charles Smith Forster, Esq., High Sheriff of Staffordshire ; R. C. Chawner, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the South Staffordshire Junction ; William Chadwick, Esq., Deputy Chairman of the North Wales Railway ; C. Lawrence, Esq., Chairman of the Grand Junction Railway ; G. B. Thor neycroft, Esq. ; W. Bland, Esq. ; H. Hill, Esq. ; F. C. Nor ton, E,q. ; Messrs. Payne, Witney, Hughes, Brakemore, Wal ker, Gladstone, Underhill, and gentlemen from Shrewsbury, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Tipton, Bilston, Walsall, Lichfield , and other districts which the projected line proposes to benefit. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that he felt a deep interest in the prosperity of South Staffordshire, and especially in the town of Wolverhampton. And it was on that account that he felt desirous that the projected line should be brought fairly before the public. A line for the benefit of the town had been previously projected, but the egregious blunders that had been made by those to whom its direction had been in trusted, had occasioned its rejection by the Standing Orders Committee of the House of Commons. The Grand Junction Company had come forward in the most handsome manner, and had offered the most valuable assistance, at the same time guaranteeing that all the expenses attendant on the application to Parliament should be defrayed. He rejoiced to say that satis factory arrangements had been made with the Grand Junction Railway Company, the Oxford, Worcester,and Wolverhampton Railway Company, and the South Staffordshire Junction Com pany, for establishing a grand central station for the joint use of the four companies within the town of Wolverhamp ton ; end branches would be made to Coalbrook Dale and Ironbridge. The great commercial interests of Sou`h Stafford shire were deeply interested in this question, rctutr.c which could scarcely fail to impress Parliament i e n i f would pay more attention to great mercantile t for however powerful the landed interests mightnber,ePstassr,lsivamehenarst through which the proposed line would p those which existed .in Wolverhamptoanss.a_nd(Cohteheerrs.d)is rTichtes einiffaad ar. e e s s o c l r u ib ti e o d n . , affirming the n C e li c a e i s r s m it a y n of co a n l c i l n u e de s d .o h ) y m su t i i h m at it h t After some discussion, c e, Chairman of the Grand give Junctionittheiv hearty Co- that that Company felt a deep interest in the Mr. LAvrzeds athe.projected line, and would sPsuuac;cl3le.r:s.rsrteT•onlfhoreeycroft was elected.

GLOUCESTER, nunAy.—A general meeting of the Pro prietors of the Gloucester and Dean Forest was held to-day at the Bell Hotel, in this city, to receive a report from the Com mittee of Management, and to consider the propriety of con fir%ing the agreement entered into with the (treat Western \Company, and for authorising the fur t h er p rosecu,ion of the undertaking in the neat. sestion. Mr. Samuel Baker took the chair. The report of the Committee of Management was as , , toilows : _ \" Your Conmittee, in pursuance of the authority of the last general meeting, preented their application to Parliament in the last season for a Billforthe_construction of thin railway, but (017 7i; " - A l _.I titt: , ---- , t i:t;l , › \ , -. .,—.,...',i77; -,4( ie.:`, , PH.' . .: ( 2 . i , --..v . : ;5; :,.i::).--,.*,, , J.1 : :: : ) .: , : , '`"-,, , ,;1:i-t7.55 . - .. , , " - : - ; ~..' their progress was stayed in consequence of thei ?- ante with the standing orders of Pail;arnerf4 left't ant grounds.

The remainder cf the report recum• mended the re-application for the line in the next session, and the lease of it to the Great Western at 4 per cent. After some discussion the report was adopted, and the pro posed agreement with the Great Western ratified. WINDSOIt AND LONDON. Wisznsost, FRIDAY EVENING.—A very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town and its vicinity, convened by Thomas Clarke, Esq., the Chief Magistrate, took place this afternoon, " to take into considera tion the correspondence which has passed between the Com mittee appointed on the 2d of July last, and the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Works, respecting the formation of a railwry to Windsor, and to receive the report of such Com mittee, and to take such further steps as may be necessary for carrying out the wishes of the inhabitants in promoting a direct railway communication from Windsor to Lendon." Amongst those who attended the meeting were Dr. Stan ford, Major Sturgess, Captain Forbes, J. J. Williams, Esq. (barrister-at-law), Captain Ragg, C. S. Voules, Esq. (soli -I%FloeAwsi Messrs. vi: S alu h ele,sr Chafer,aAnir, . (soli citor), John Voules E sq ., Willi am L eg h, E s q. ( magistrate). Ssv Walker, ear W imk e h ar i n n , tooanl and Captain Oliver, Oxley, ne a b v l Fe a ., l ow ert y, having addressed the meeting, the Committee's report was read. It gave in detail the whole of the letters which had passed between the Woods and Forests and the Chairman of the Committee (Captain Forbes ). It appeared that two lines of railway were pointed out to the Commissioners for a railway into Windsor. The Board, in their last letter to the Chairman, declined to express any opinion upon either of these lines, as they consi dered the Crown property at Windsor would be injuriously af fected thereby. The report thus concludes:— " Upon the receipt of the last letter, the Committee consi dered it useless further to argue the wishes and requests of the memorialists, it being evident to them that the Commissioners of Woods and Forests had, from the first, determined to dis countenance any project for bringing a railway over any part of the Crown property, without regard to any proposition for making and constructing such railway, so as to remove any ground for apprehending inconvenience or injury to any par t y . Mr. C. S. VOULES proposed, and Mr. FOWLER seconded— " That this meeting cannot but express their regret at the re sult of the application to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, but still entertain the hope that upon future con sideration, the Commissioners will not be of opinion that the Crown and property will be injuriously affected by a railway tunnel under the Long Walk, as proposed by the memorialist, and which plan received the sanction of his late Majesty King William IV., and of the Board of Works, &c., in the year 1834." Mr. MINTON, purveyor to her Majesty, moved, and Mr. J.WILLIAsts, barrister, seconded, upon which it was re sol'ed—" That the inhabitants did not abandon the hope of obtaining a more direct railway communication to London ; and that they do co-operate with the London and Windsor Railway Company, already formed, whose money is subscribed, and plans prepared, for the accomplishment of this desirable object." Major BOILEAU having described the plans of the London and Windsor Direct Railway Company at considerable length, and thanks having been voted to the Mayor, the assembly broke up. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVERHAMPTON CAMPDEN, SEPT. s.—This ancient town was yesterday the scene of unwonted gaiety and excitement, the day being ap pointed to commemorate the passing of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Bill.

CHATHAM, SEPT. s.—The Raleigh, 50 guns, that was launched from this dockyard in May last, was taken into dock this day to have her bottom coppered, and to be fitted without delay for an advance ship. The Isis, 44, was taken into dock on Thursday, the 4th inst., when her copper was examined and repaired. She was put out again this day. The Retribution steam•frigato was put out of dock on the 4th instant, having been fitted for commission. She is moored alongside the sheer-hulk. The La Hogue, 74 guns, and the Eurotas, 46 guns, in ordi nary, are ordered to be converted into steam-ships, and are to be placed as guard-ships in the river Medway. The Cumberland, 70 guns, in dock, is fittirg as an advanced ship. Workmen are employed fitting the Cockatrice schooner for a victualling craft. The Diligence naval transport, Martin master, remains taking in stores and timber for Deptford-yard. Three of the crew of the Ocean, SO, lying at Sheerness, named John Bancroft, Hetay Goldby, and Richard Cocker, were brought before the county magistrates at Rochester. on the charge of plundering a cottage garden of Wm. W ilson's, a farm-servant, in the Isle of Grain , of seve r a l cabba g es, a pp les, and plums, on the night of Sunday last, the 31st ult. It ay pears that the Ocean was taken into dock to be re-coppered, and the crew were transferred to the ship Wellington, lying in Saltpan-reach, off the Isle of Grain, when on Sunday alternoon last, the three men came on shore, and repaired to the Cock public-house in the village, and on leaving the house, about nine o'clock, Goldby and Cocker, about a mile from the public-house, were detected with the cabbages, &c., in their possession, and coming from the cottage garden, by a man named James Humble. The two sailors, Goldby and Cocker, were adjudged to pay each the sum of 16s. 93., including the damage and expenses of the Court, and Bancroft was dis charged, the magistrates telling the prisoners that it was a disgrace to a British seaman to rob the poor of the produce of their garden.

THE EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON. it The Cork Examiner of yesterday says :—The following an extract from a person on board one of the vessels of the above squadron, written to a friend in Cork, dated Aug. 2 5 . and brought in by the Rattler steamer : ‘, We have been out six weeks to-morrow; we have not touched at any pert, nor even sighted any land since we left Spithead ; we fully expected to go into Cove, but I am be ginning to doubt that we shal l now. The Admiral mad -morrow to. e in signal to-day that there wou ld be an opportunity te send letters by the steamer Rattler. I believe she is going to. Cove to tee it there are any orders from the Admiralty—if not,. we shall go in—so that if we are to go t allt all we will be in b r next week. I dare say you have seen about our departure from Spithead. We have had fine weather in general. The- Queen proved the best sailer in a light breeze, but in a stir wind the Albion was best. She is the best bad•weather ship. in the fleet. The sailing has been as follows :—Queen first,. Albion second (first in rough weather), Canopus third, St- Vincent fourth, Rodney fi fth , Tr afal g ar sixth, Vnguard! seventh, and Superb last."
