RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND BLACKWALL EXTENSION. Oa Mondly the first general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Mr. J. N. Daniell, chairman of the Board of Directors, presiding. Mr. KENNELL, the secretary, read the report as follows : " Although the shareholders in this extension line have already, as proprietors in the main line, been made acquainted with the circumstances relating to the arrangement entered into 11 ith the Eastern Counties Railway Company, during the i.rogress of the Bill for the Epping Railway through the Committee of the House of Commons, it may yet be desirable at this, the first meeting of the Company, briefly to recapitulate the terms of that arrangement, which were as follows—viz., That the object of the Bill should be confined to the line between Stepney and the junction with the Eastern Counties line at Old Ford. That the London and Blackwall Railway Company should not make any application for a line to, or towards, Loughton, Chigwell, or Epping, in next year, unless the Eastern Counties Company declined to make any line for the accom modation of those districts, and that the proposed junction bet Ween the two railways being made, the Eastern Counties Company should give all facilities in their power to persons wishing to travel from the stations on their lines to Fen church-street in preference to Shoreditch ; all arrangements forfacilitating such traffic being left to the adjustment of Mr. Loate and Mr. Stephenson. Your Directors are satisfied that the arrangement thus concluded cannot fail to be pro ductive of great convenience to the Eastern Counties and North Eastern Railways, and of great additional revenue to the Blackwall Railway. The usual preparations have been made for setting cut the line, which'will be immediately done by Mr. Locke, and the works will be carried on with the ut most vigour. It is provided by the act of incorporation, that at the first ordinary meeting the Shareholders present, per sonally or by proxy, may either continue in office the Directors appointed by the Act, or any number of them, or may elect a new body of Directors, or Directors to supply the place of those not continued in office, the Directors appointed by the Act being eligible as members of such new body. The following are the names of the Directors appointed by the Act, viz. : James Nugent Daniell, William Haigh, Joseph Bishop, John Bowring, George Thomas Ellison, William Edmund Ferrero, George Lee, Charles Edward Mangles, John Robertson, and Edward Routh, all of whom are willing to serve as Directors, should it be the pleasure of the meeting to re-elect them to that office.' The CHAIRMAN then said, that bad longer time been given them before convening the first general meeting, as required by the Act, the Directors would have been enabled to give some statement as to the progress of the works. At present every arrangement had been made for carrying out the ex tension, which could be completed, on the assurance of their surveyor, without much extra cost, and without a third set of rails. He would take that opportunity of intimating that the Directors had perfect confidence in the soundness of the proposed South Essex line, and that it would be a valuable adjunct to the Blackwall. '['he re-election of Directors having been seconded by ➢Zr. HARVEY, was carried. _ _ The Chairman, and Messrs. Baker and Ogilvy, were ap pointed auditors. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr. M'Cann, said the receipts of the Blackwall line for the last two months of the last year were greater than the corresponding months of the preceding, and there was consequently no reason why the shares should decrease in value. _ Anglo- Belgian 4 Lordeaux and Toulouse 2 .

By THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, Est.--'• The Master Passion," by the author of " Highways and Byeways," cannot fail of being ranked among the most effective fictions of our Age. 'l•he interest of this st ry is of a singularly engrossing nature, making it almost im possible for the reader to lay down the work till he has come to its conclusion. It is a masterpiece of imaginative literature— a picture of human life, under the influence of human passions, such as must greatly increase Mr. Grattan's reputation with his numerous admirers, and excite a demand for these volumes, equal at least to that which attended the publication of the " Highways and Byeways" by the same popalar author. DEPLORABLE AND FATAL ACCIDENT FROM A POLICE VAN..—An interesting male child, under two years old, named Crate, belonging to a confectioner, &c., in Great Peter-street, Westminster, was, at about eleven o'clock this morning, crossing this thoroughfare, not far from its parent's Louse, at a moment when the police van from Tothill-fields Bridewell, was passing, which knocked the child down, and ran over its neck and face. It was immediately conveyed, in a most excruciating state of suffering—its eyes gushing out, and hanging from their sockets, and its brains frightfully protruding, to the Westminster Hospital, where every attempt to save its life proved unavailing. . _ SYALEYBRIDGE.—A CASE FOR LORD ASHLEY'S COM manxioN.—The following conversation took place the other day ;—Master Manufacturer—" Well, William, I sup pose you have been very busy these wakes, as usual ?" Butcher : " No, sir, not so buisy as last year. We have only k led 50 or 60 head of cattle this year ; last year we killed be tween 6J and 7 '."—Master Manufacturer : " Why, William, how is that ? The operatives are getting more wages this year than la,t."—Butcher : " That's the reason, fir; they have been more amongst the ducks, sir." Surely a commission ought to he sent to inquire if the poor distressed factory banes are really reduced at list to duck and green peat. It is a proof that it common food were admitted from all the world, such would be the prosperity of the country that our farmers might becrme iich by growing luxnrie; for the million. —Levis Til , es. THE FISHERIES.— ABERDEEN, SEPT. L The herring fishing is drawing to a close at this station, and has been throughout very unproductive ; the greatest number of hots at one time w ere un d er f or t y ; a go od many left early in consequence of tempestuous aea , her and indifferent prospects for the remaincfer of toe fisiiiog season. The salmon fishing, which closes in the Dee and Don about the middle of the present - month, has been pretty fair upon the whole. ria_E S UN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10 1845.

They lost sight of the Admiral ship St. Vincent, Trafalgar, Vanguard, and Superb, on the 30th ult., in a fog, and have not seen them since, but they are ex pnted by to-morrow. The four ships above• mentioned en tered the harbour this morning, shortly bef,re six o'clock, and at half-past six o'cliek saluted the Admiral with a dis charge of thirteen guns, which was instantly returned by the Crocodile (flag-ship), by a discharge of a similar number of guns, arousing the inhabitants Cove to curiosity and ex citement ; and in about ten minutes after all the vessels were safely riding at ancher in the man-of•war roads. It is reported that these vessels parted company with the re mainder of the fleet on Saturday last in a heavy fog ; the other vessels, however, are hourly expected. Cove is all bustle and preparation ; the river steamers are working " double tides," and, in fact, the arrival has thrown cur city sight seers into a high state of ferment. The flag has been - transferred from the Crocodile to the Queen, at whose lofty mast head it now floats. Owing to the delightful wea ther with which we are at present blessed, the whole fleet, when in harbour, cannot fail to be seen to the very greatest advantage. Two o'CLocc —We have just heard a rumour that, in consequence of the prevailing easterly wind, a portion of the fleet has put into Bantry Bay. (From the Southern Reporter of Saturday. ) The St. Vincent, 120, Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, and the Superb, 80, Captain Corry, hove in sight early this morning and entered the harbour, having fired the usual salutes, which had a grand and most imposing effect. They are at present at anchor outside Spike Island, the tide not admitting them to come up to the moorings for a couple of hours. The fleet were close into the harbour of Crookhaven and off Bantry Bay on Tuesday, and beating to the eastward, wind THE NEW GERMAN HOSPITAL.—On Monday, meeting was held at the London Tavern for the purpose of receiv ing the report of the Provincial Committee appointed at a public meeting held at the same place on the 18th of June last, at which his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge presided, when it was unanimously resolved that a hospital should be established in Lon don for the reception of all poor Germans and others speaking the German language. Benjamin Bond Cabbel!, Esq., presided on the occasion. The report of the Provisional Committee stated that the prospects of the intended charity were favourable, and promised the greatest success. It was supported by many illustrious per. sonages, who have taken the institution under their protection, amongst whom may be enumerated the Queen, 1001. ; Prince Albert, 1001.; the Queen Dowager, 1001.; the Xing of Prussia, 300/., and 100/. annually; the King of Hanover, 1501., and 501. annually ; the Duchess of Kent, 1001. ; the Duke of Cambridge, 501.; the Duchess of Cambridge, 25/. ; the Emperor of Russsia, 1001. ; the King of Denmark, 1001.; the King of Bavaria, 1001. ; the King of Saxony, 50/, and a long list of influential subscribers and donors. The report stated that the appeal to the public for o. viding funds for the purchase and fitting up the house at Dalston (lately occupied by the Infant Orphan Asylum Society) and the proper maintenance of the hospital has resulted in the sum of 3,300/. donations, and 350/. annual subscriptions; in addition to which the committee have received 100/. donation, ♦oted by the Senate of the Free City of Hamburg.

OLDFIELD.—Monday Mr. G. J. Mills resumed, at the Marquis of Hastings, Ossulston.street, New-road, the Inquest on the young gentleman who c mimitted suicide in a house of ill-fame, 26, Aldenham-street, which was adjourned from last Friday, that the body might be Identified. Mrs. Emily Oldfield, the wife of Mr. Oilfield, rape maker, Southgate-road, Ball's-pond, Islington, who was deeply affected, during her evidence, stated that the deceased was her son, and that he was warehouse crerk in the employ of Messrs. Warwick and Sons, wholesale druggists, Garlick-hill. Last Tuesday morning he left home for his office, and told witness that he would, if allowed by his employers, go with some friends to Gravesend that day. She gave him Bs. 6d , but did not know what other money he had. Sho never afterwards saw him alive. Her impression was that he had been drugged in the house in Aldenham street, and then murdered. The coroner assured Mrs. Oldfield that both he and the jury were fully convinced, by the evidence given on the fitst day, that her son had not been drugged. Mr. Wrent. more, brother and assistant to Mr. Wrentmore, surgeon, said that he sold to the servant of the house in Aldenham.street, half an ounce of the essential oil of almonds, in an ounce and a half bottle. He imagined that it was required by a soap.ntaker or a pastry-cook. Mr. G. Wakefield, surgeon, ehamined the body, which, from the esophagus downwards, gave evidence of the destructive presence of prussic acid, and which, no doubt, was the cause of death. The quantity sold the servant was sufficient to kill four persons. The jury, after half an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict," That George Oldfield, jun., died by taking the essential oil of almonds with his own hands, but that there was no evidence of his state of mind at the time that he t3ok it." The jury =com p:ll'o the verdict with a censure cn Kr. Wrentmore, jun., (or having so incautiously sold the poison. RAILWAY TOAST.—The toast among the great gamblers in railways is " Success to swindling !" THE LATE MRS. LAWRENCE.—It is now aseer tai..el that the vast landed estates of the late munificent Mrs. Lawrence, of Stud'ey Park, are bequeathed as follows .—The Studley and Ripon property, including Fountain Abbey and Ilackfall, to Earl do Grey ; the Hutton, Sharrow, and Kirkby Ma'zeard estates, with the Moors, to the Earl of Ripon ; the Leicestershire estates to Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, Bart. ; and the manor and estate of Kirkby Fleetham, to Mr. H. E. Wal ler, who, in case the deceased lady had died intestate, would, it is said, have been heir-at-law to the landed property. Legacies to large amounts have been left to several useful pub lic charities and for religious purposes, as well as to many dis tant relatives and private friends.—Leeds Mercury. DISTRESSING SUICIDE FROM SEDUCTION.—On Saturday evening a coroner's inquest was held at the Black Horse, Lower-road, Deptford, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., on the body of a young female, named Mary Anne Robson, aged only nineteen, the daughter of one of the master shipwrights in the dockyard at Deptford, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the Surrey Canal on Thursday night. Mary Lake, the wife of a master smith in the dockyard, deposed that in consequence of the indisposition of the mother of the deceased, witness and her hus band went to lodge in the house of Mr. Robson. She had known the deceased for some months previously, and had only gone to live there after the deceased ran away from home about two months since. The deceased was a virtuous girl up to the time of her leaving her home, to which she returned about a fortnight since, after an absence of five weeks. A girl named Emily Skinner, who was frequently with the de ceased, left her home with her, and they had lived together with a young man, named Jones. Witness last saw deceased alive about six o'clock on Thursday, the day of her death. Since her return home, the deceased appeared much depressed in spirits. Emma Brown deposed that on Thursday night, shortly after eleven o'clock, she heard the splash of something heavy in the water. erso On hearing the splashing, witness went out and sawsomnehP h heavily plun3ing about In the water; also heard the person nioa two or three times. Witness instantly raised an a l ar m, when d witness ffi several persons came to her assistance;in the got a prop, but it was not of sucie ntleg str meantime, ach t e g an th l „,ocket-handkerchief Witness found the bonnet, shawl, g The of the deceased close by tier door. 'dcezased was in te water about ten minutes. Em il y Skinner, the young woman alluded to above, said she and deceased left home tcgother, and went to reside in a common brothel in Fairy's-bnildir fps, Bermondsey. They were ta k e n there by a young womar whom they met at :the St . Helena Tea gardens at Itotherhithe. Whilst at the brothel was v i s ited by a young mar , named Jones. On one occas i on witness heard deceased threat.i_ to make away with herself, but afterwards s aid she was only joking.. Upon being closely qu es t ioned b y the Coroner, the witt_e4s admitted having said, " Has she gone and done it? Oh! I: God, I must go an d tell him, or else he will get into troulge and me too," but she wou'd not g i ve any explana. lion. This v i ness gave he: evidence with great nonchalance. The Coroner Diu there was no d ou b t remora. arising from the course of life she had been l ea di ng, had rendered ' her unhappy, and had led to this disastrous end, Tie jury returned a verdict of " Tem. porary insanity." ARRIVAL OF Two LIONS.—Two of the finest lions ever imported into this country have arrived within the last few days, on board the Job.' Bartlett, Captain Bartlett.

The receipts on your railway, between London and Croydon, have increase,' about 57 per cent. upon those of the corre sponding half year, and the tolls about 8 per cent. upon those of ►he same period. The expenditure has, however, also been greater, particularly in the locomotive department, in conse quence chiefly, of the discontinuance of the joint working of the ►hree eempv'ies. The Proprietors are aware that in the autumn of last year the Sou•h-Eastern Company announced their intention of pro moting new lines in Kent, which would have the effect of di vertinVhe traffic of that Company from the Croydon Railway. The Sluth-Eastern Directors haring likewise 'repudiated an agreement entered into with this Company, with a view to the protection of its interests, your Directors had no alternative but to submit to Parliament, under your sanction, in the last ses sion, those schemes in connexion with the Croydon Railway which led to the late severe coatest. . With respect to your Parliamentary proceedings, although not attended with immediate success, your Directors are pleased to. observe that your situation has been improved by the results of the session. You have succeeded in defeat ing the various schemes promoted by -other partLs which were opposed to your interests, namely—the Wandsworth and Epsom branches of the Brighton and South- Western Companies, and the Reigate and Dorking branch of the lot mer Company. The main schemes of the South- Eastern Company were, as you know, thrown out on standing on'ers. One portion of your plan, that for the accommodation of North Kent, was reported against in common with the scheme of the North Kent Company—the other, for extending accom modation to the southeastern parts of Kent, including the only direct line to Maidstone proposed in Parliament, failed from the inability of the Committee to consider it 3 merits, at the then late period of the session. The Croydon Enlarge ment Bill alone has received the royal assent. Under these circumstances your Directors have felt it to be their duty, in compliance with the terms of the resolution passed at the late general meeting, to limit the sum to be raised upon the new shares to 1/. 13s. 4d. per share as therein stipulated ; and they have accordingly made a final call of 11. per share, and provided for the registration of eight of these shores for one Croydon share of 20/., likewise in accordance with the terms of the resolution. The Bill for a line from Epsom to Portsmouth, in which you are so much interested, after a most searching investigation for six weeks before a Committee of the House of Commons, and a unanimous report in its favour, by a Committee of the House of Lords, was, on that report being brought up to the House, recommitted on a point of form, by a majority of two, which the presence of two Noble Lords, Members of the Com mittee, who were unfortunately absent, would have prevented; and this recommittal, at the extreme end of the session, has had the effect of a postponement to another year. The Bill, however, is understood to be entitled to all the privileges in such cases provided by the regulations of last session, and the Directors trust that very shortly after the opening of the next session it will have passed into a law. There never was, per haps, a measure which relied so entirely upon its own merits fur defence against the extraordinary and various kinds of oppo s'tion to which it has been subjected. It is the intention of the Directors forthwith to distribute to the Proprietors the shares in this undertaking held by the Croydon Company. Your Directors congratulate you upon the successful demon- stration of the atmospheric system on your line. This demon stration has been delayed much beyond the time which was anticipated, and the delay has been ocemioned by the novelty of the apparatus, the desire to effect all possible improvements, and the adaptation of these improvements to your peculiar position. The result, however, so far as it has gone, has been highly satisfactory, and the ex• periments which have been already tried upon its power and tractability, have surpassed the expectations of your Directors, although they had previously formed a high estimate of the system, from what they had _witnessed upon the Dalkey line, where it has been so long in operation. Your Directors anticipate that this success will entitle you to a preference, before Parliament, in respect of any schemes which they may find it desirable to promote for your benefit, provided those schemes are likewise well arranged for the public advantage. Of such a character they trust are the Kentish schemes, as now projected, which are in their opinion so devised as to afford the greatest possible public accommodation, at the least possible cost. Your Directors have found it necessary, with a view to the success of these mca.mrc.3 entirely to remodel the lines and reconititute the plan upon which they were promoted in the last session of Parliament, and in order to give the strongest assurance to the county that they shall be int ependently carried out, to divest them to a certain extent of their dependance upon the Croydon Company. They propose, therefore, to raise a separate fund for the execution of these schemes, which shall be distinct from the funds of the Croydon Company—but the share of which shall be distributed in the largest proportion among the Proprietors of that Company, as some compensation for the pre-emption to which they have entitled themselves by the outlay already in curred, and the efforts made in the prosecution of this object. A Provisional Committee, composed of some of the chief land owners in the county, will be appointed to act for the conduct of the 13111, in conjunction with your Directors. The works on the Epsom line are in active progress, the whole is under contract, and will, as your Directors trust, be ready to open in the course of next summer. Your Directors observe that several schemes have been lately proposed for affording a west-end terminus to the lines converging at London-bridge, and with the promoters of one of these lines they have taken measures to place themselves in communication. Various other schemes, more or less calcu lated to benefit the railway, have been likewise pressed upon the attention of your Directors, but none of them are as yet in a sufficiently forward state to be more publicly noticed. The Profit and Loss Account shows a balance of 15,768/. ss. 10d., out of which your Directors recommend a dividend of seven shillings per share to be made on 44,400 shares. The CUAIRMAN then moved that the report be re- calved and adopted ; in doing which he stated he would, according to usual custom, make a few remarks. Ile congratulated them on the improved aspect of the Com pany's affairs, the receipts for the present half-year being fifty-seven per cent. greater than the cor responding period of last year, and the tolls eight per cent. more. The expenses, had, however, been also higher. The dividend proposed, though still small, was an improvement, and he had no doubt it would go on progressing till ultimately it would be a full remune ration for the capital invested. The dividend was an in crease of 40 per cent. on that of last year.—(Applause.) He would now glance at the business of the bygone year in regard to their proceedings in Parliament. He re gretted they had not been so successful as he could have wished, still it was a consolation neither had been their opponents. Upon the whole he did not think they had suffered in their position by the contest, the most of the schemes by which they had been threatened having been defeated, thrown out in Committee, or aban doned. It behoved them, however, to look actively to the future, as some of the unsuccessful schemes of last session were being brought before the public in a modified form. He alluded to the North pr,(ject, and that supported by the Eastern Counties Com pany. The Hon. Gentleman having referred to the report, showing the necessity of the measure as a means of raising capital to carry o u t th e i r ex t ens i on , so as to defeat their opponents, went into the progress of the at mospheric principle, in connexion with their line. Every step, so far as they had gone, was entirely satisfactory. Several private experiments had been made, but as the engine•power was not as yet under full command, they had not ventured on a public exhibition. Whenever all was perfected it was the intention of the Directors to invite the Shareholders to the first public experiment on the line. As many Share holders, however, present, perhaps, would not be able to attend then, a special train had been provided to run along the line immediately on the termination of their proceedings. He was quite persuaded that the atmospheric principle, when in full operation, would enable them materially to reduce their charges to the public, while it would prove highly profitable to the proprietors. Mr. Samuda, the engineer, had furnished them with a report of his proceedings, which he would read. The Hon. Chairman then read tie.. report which was to the effect that the works had pro gressed in the most satisfactory manner. and were now nearly completed, and that the recent experiments had been completly successfu!. Having dwelt at some length on the superiority of the atmospheric principle over the one in ordinary use, and at the opposition and , bigotry with which it had been met, the Hon. Chair man concluded his address by pointing out on a large map the proposed extensions, being one to Gravesend and another connecting Maidstone, Dover, and Canter bury with London—both to be on the atmospheric system. _ _ A PROPRIETOR asked what was the capital proposed for the new lines in Kent ? The CHAIRMAN-2,500,0001. A SHAREHOLDER asked if there was sufficient capital in hand to carry out the proposed extensions ? The CHAIRMAN answered in the affirmative. To questions from Proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said that he could not positively affirm when the Epsom line would be open, and he did not wish to give any pledge en the subject; neither could he say when the atmospheric line would be opened, but no time would be lost by the Directors. The prospectus of the new Kent line would be shortly issued, and he could not say before that time in what proportion shares might be ap portioned to the Croydon Proprietors. The report was then adopted. Mr. 111`LAURIN moved a resolution that the accounts of the Company should be made out on the system pur sued in 1841 instead of as at present. The resolution was negatived by an immense ma jority. i Several other resolutions in accordance with the re port were then carried, and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. HEROIC CONDUCT ON A RAILWAY.—Last Thursday one of the must providential escapes, as regards human life, occurred on the railway connected with the Bishopwearmouth iron works. The iron works in question extend over a vast extent of country, and, for the purpose of a speedy transit from one part to the other, railways have been established, one of which is formed on an in clined plane, down which the heavily laden waggons are propelled at a fearful rate. On the morning of the above day, while one of the trains of waggons was passing down, two very old women, each being nearly seventy years of age, labouring under de fective sight sight as well as hearing, got on the line. A few seconds more they both must have inevitably been crushed to death. Their perilous situation was, however, witnessed by Mr. David Holsgrove, the overlooker of the works, who in an instant dashed forward and seized the two females, whom he threw off' the line, ani out of the way of danger. Unfortunately the engine at this instant came up, which knocked Mr. Holsgrove down, and he was picked up as dead. He was instantly conveyed to one of the buildings in the vicinity, and medical aid was sent for, when, upon examination, it was discovered that he had sustained sever a l con tusions about the head, that both his arms were broken in two places, and also one of his legs, besides other injuries about the body. It is wipposed that some part of the train must have gone over the limbs. Although so severely and dangerously injured, hopes are entertained of Ills recovery. The two females escaped without the slightest injury.

On Friday the first general meeting of the proprietors was held at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh, ➢lr. John Learmonth, Chairman of the Directors, in the chair. There was a very full attendance of shareholders. The report, which was read by Mr. LEES, the Secretary, commenced by describing the opposition the Directors latt encountered in obtaining their Act, after which it briefly explained the terms into which the Directors had entered with the opposing parties. The first was with the promoters of the Queensferry Company. In consideration of the opposi tion being withdrawn, it was agreed that this company should not oppose the Queensferry Company's application to Parlia ment for powers to make their main line. And it was fur ther r.greed that the latter company should be bound to con struct the branch from Dunfermline through the Lochgelly coal-field to join this Company's line. The Queensferry Company, on the other hand, were bound to abandon their proposed branches to Kirkaldy and Burntisland. The other agreements were with Captain Erskine Wemyss, Lord Rosslyn, and the heritors of the parish of Dysart ; the trustees of the turnpike-roads in the Cupar district; the trustees of the turnpike-roads in the Kirkaldy district, and the trustees of the road betwixt Queensferry and Perth, called ' the Great North Road. The rema i n i ng agre ement is that enteredinto with his Grace the Duke of Buccleuch, and John Gladstone, Esq., the proprietors of the Granton and Burntisland-ferry, by which they bound themselves, first, to provide increased accommodation in the number, power, and speed of the boats to be placed upon the ferry ; and, second, to reduce the passenger fares to a moderate rate, and to submit, when req u i re d, t o th e determination of arbiters the rates to be charg e d f or eve ry description of goods crossing the ferry. Con s id era bl e p r ogress had been made in the purchase of the land required, extending to about eighteen miles of the li ne . The engineer is using every exertion to complete the working plans, and the first contract is advertised to be let on the 24th of September. Every exertion will be made to press forward the work; and the Directors see no reason why the line should not be opened within two years from this time. In the Act to be applied for next session of Parlia men t, for the branch lines to the ferry opposite Dundee, and to St. Andrews and Dunfermline, it is intended to include in it a branch from the main line to the town of Leven, and along the coast to the eastward. The Shareholders may be already aware that measures have within the last few weeks been taken by gentlemen unconnected with the main line to get up a separate company for making this branch; but it has appeared to the Directors that the interests of the Company require that it be entirely in their own hands, as it forms a portion of the railway system of Fifeshire. The CHAIRMAN, after adverting to the topics contained in the report., said the amount of deposits received had been 32,500/., which had been raised to 33,0001. by the premium on the unappropriated stock. The outlay .amounted to 17,50 e/., which, considering the strong opposition they had encountered, was not a large sum. The report, ou the motion of Mr. BLACKADDER, was agreed to.

TILE WEATHER AND CROPS.—With the exception of a slight shower of a couple of hours' duration yesterday, and a change of wind from the west to the east, the weather for the last eight days has been as fine as the heart of man could desire. The sun has shone brightly forth from a sky of the purest azure, and the atmosphere although almost fiercely hot, has been dry and breezy, and of the most favourite cha racter for harvest operations. In the earlier districts great prowess has been made, and the few staoks in the barn yard give assurance that no time has been or will be lost. In the secondary districts harvest has barely commenced, but with a continuance of fine weather, all hands will be at work by the beginning of next week at the latest. In the hills, and amongst the latest growing districts, there will be no general harvest before the first of October. Wheat and barley are both well spoken of as to bulk, although it is feared that much of the former, particularly the spring sown, will be de ficient both in weight and quality. Oats, it is generally feared, will he less productive than on the avi , rage, and the same apprehensions are entertained as to beans and peas, which have shit out to an unusual length of straw. A few days, however, will gi.re us some insight both as to the quality and prcduce of the harvest, au iNSWANie care that ample in• dot :ratio's on this important before our readers.— SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO SIR ,JOHN MORDAUNT.— We most sincerely regret to state that on Tuesday afternoon last, about four o'clock, a very distressing accident occurred to Sir John Mordaunt, Bart., one of the Members for the southern division of this cou nt y , at his seat, at Walton, near Wellesbourne. He was shooting partridges, on his beautiful estate, accompanie d b y his relative, A. 111 ills, Esq. While thus engaged they came to a hedge, through a gap in which Sir John passed while Mr. Mills was walking behind him. The latter was in the act of unlock ing his gun, when by some means he accidentally touched the trigger, and the whole of the c har g e entered the c a l ves o f b ot h the legs of Sir John, lodging upwards of 100 sh o t s i n t h e l eft leg, and upwards of 40 in the right leg. He immediately fell to the ground, and WV taken up by one of the game keepers, who was in attendance, and instantly con veyed home. We are assured that the medical gentle men do not expect he will be able to walk for many wicks ; tip to yesterday aftern oon, the y had not been enabled to ext , aet any of the shot from the wounds—yet we are informed that the sufferer bears all with an excellent spirit of patience, and even cheerfulness. The sad occurrence has created the u• most anxiety in the neighbourhood, among all classes, as Sir John is universally esteemed for his excellence of heart and p rest kindness of disposition on all Occasions.— Warwick zhiceriiser, 'FA': AI.

There is but little wheat grmin in our immediate vicinity, but we are happy to find that it promises much better than was a short time ago anticipated.—Kendal Mercury. GALWAY.—The weather continues to be excellent. On Saturday and Sunday the heat was intense, and must have greatly contributed to the ripening of the crops. Since Sunday it looks rather gloomy, but there has been no rain.— Vindicator. CLONMEL.—The weather, for some days past, has been most favourable for the harvest work. Some days were intensely hot, and a vast quantity of corn has been cut down. The hook is at work in all directions, and we trust an all-bountiful Providerr_te will grant us a continuation of fine weather, and dissipate those fears which have been generally entertained relative to the corn crop, in consequence of the wet weather with which we were visted some time since.—Tipperary Con stitution. Dal:111%—On Thursday last two samples of new flax were so'd in this market, which brought from 575. 6d. to 61,. per 1241. ; asd had they been judiciously scutched, they would have been worth from ss. to 7s. per mat more. It is really a pity, when the fanner succeeds in the growth and management of his as was the case in the two lots referred to above, that his interests should be sacrificed by the carelessness or incom petency of the seutehers. From this specimen of the new flax, it is to he hoped that the gloomy anticipations respecting this season's growth bring of bad quality will be groundless, and that the flax of this year will prove proportionably good as that of preceding years ; the quantity. however, will be deficient. A sample of excellent new oats was sold in Saturday's market, at 10d. per stone, grown by Mr. Elder, of Dimnybrewer. The wea ther foe the past week has been highly favourable for harvest operations. A good deal of grain in different districts has been safely cut ; and, on the whole, the crop is most abundant, al though, in some instances, on rich sheltered lands, it has suf fered considerably tiy being lodged. Should the present fine weather continue, grain cutting in this district will be in general operation in e;ght or ten days.—Standard. Conic, SEPTEMBER 3 —The weather still continues beauti ful). tine. A hot, ripening sun is shining to-day, and reaping progre ses rapidly. A few more weeks of such weather, and even in the most backward districts the harvest will have been secured.

AMAZING PRODUCE OF A GRAIN OF WHEAT. —WC have seen a spl.n.lid sample of wheat grown or. the land atta. lied to Riverstown House, the residence of John Car michael, Esq.

At two o'clock, on Tuesday, the glass stood at 75 degrees in the shade. Yesterday it ranged at degrees at two o'closk. The wind keeps northerly, shifting from west to east. in all directions. reaping is in rapid progress ; and we learn, from every quarter, that the crops ate bountiful in the extreme. There is some talk of failure in potatoes; but, so far as we have observed, it must prevail in other districts than ours. The north of Ireland, we learn and perceive, is this year blessed with an abundant promise of harvest, of all descriptions of produce. It remains, now, with the husbandman, to take advantage of every hour, and cut down, and save the produce of his previous labour; for, the harvest will be late, and the dangers of delay the greater, Thrift, thrift, we repeat ' • for, this season, delay is doubly dan gerous. Now is the hour for labour; morning, noon, and night; labour, labour, incessant. On incessant labour depends much of the result of God's bountiful harvest. Now is the hour for the punishment of the sluggard. The idle will as suredly have his reward.—Northern STATISTICS or EUROPEAN CAPITALS.—The capi tal of Great Britain has a population estimated at 2,000,000 of souls, exclusive of strangers. Strange to say, and we could hardly credit the fact, if it was not credibly demonstrated, the number of beds in tire London hopitals is not in pro portion with that of the other capitals of Europe, comparatively to their respective populations. The London hospitals only contain 5,000 beds. Its mortality amounts yearly to 45,000 inhabitants, or to 123 daily. In 1800 the population of that metropolis was only 1,200,000 souls, the mortality 22,000, and the number of beds 4,350. Thus, whilst the population and mortality increased, in the last forty-five years, by nearly one-half, toe number of beds in the hospitals augmented by one seventh. There exist, it is true, in London a number of charitable institutions, and many manufactures have in firmaries, in which the workmen who have not the means of being attended at home, or who dislike entering hospitals, find medical relief. The population of Paris now exceeds 905,000. The number of beds in the hopitals is 10,000, and the mortality, as compared with that of London, nearly the same, or 60 per day. The population of Vienna is 330,000 souls ; the number of beds in the hospitals 5,700, and the annual mortality 17,000. At Berlin, the population is 365,000 inhabitants ; the number of beds 3,000, and the annual mortality 9,000. At St. Petersburg, the population is 476,000 inhabitants ; the number of beds in the hos pitals 6,000; and the annual mortality 11,000. At War.aw toe population is 150,000; and the number of beds in the hos pitals 4,000. It results from those returns that Paris is, after London, the capital offering the smallest proportion of beds in the hospitals.—Courrier Francais. WIDOWER SMITH AND WIDOW JONES.—Widower Smith's waggon stopped one morning at Widow Jones's door, and he gave th' usual country signal that be wanted somebody in the house, by dropping his reins, and sitting double, with his elbows on his knees. Out tripped the widow, as lively as a cricket, with a tremendous black ribbon on her snow-white cap. " Good morning," was soon said on both sides, and the widow waited for what was further to he said. " Well, Ma'am Jones, perhaps you don't want to sell one of your cows, no how, for nothing, any way, do you ?" " Well, there, Mr. Smith, you could'nt have spoke my mind better. A poor lone widder, like me, does not know what to do with so many critters ; and I should be glad to trade if we could fix it." So they adjourned to the meadow. Farmer Smith looked at Roan, then at Coe widow, at the Downing cow, and at the widow again ; and so on through the whole forty. The same call was made for every day for a week, but farmer Smith could not decide which cow he wanted. At length,7on Saturday, when widow Jones was in a hurry to get through with her baking for Sunday, and had " ever so much to do in the house, as all farmers' wives and widows have on Saturday, she was a little impatient. Farmer Smith was as irresolute as ever. " That 'ere Downing cow is a pretty fair cretur, but"—he stopped to glance at the widow's face, and then walked round her—not the widow, but the cow, " That 'ere short-horn Durham is not a bad-looking beast, but I don't know "—another look at the widow. " The Downing cow I knew before the late .llr. Jones bought her." Here he sighed at the allusion to the late Mr. Jones ; she sighed, and both looked at each other. It was a highly interesting moment. " Old Roan is a faithful old mileh, and so is Brindle; but I have known better." A long stare followed each speech ; the pause was getting awkward, and at last Mrs. Jones broke out—" Lord, Mr. Smith, if I'm the one you want, do say so !" The in tentions of the widower Smith and widow Jones were pub lished the next day, as is the law in Alassachusets ; and as soon as they were " outpublished " they were married.— American Paper. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON ATmostrilitic Itsicwsir.—On Monday forenoon a lengthened in quiry was instituted before Mr. W. Carter, and a jury, at the White Horse Inn, Croydon, on the remains of Michael Murphy, aged 32, who was killed on Friday last during some experimental trips on the above (atmospheric) line. Mr. Samuda, the patentee of the line, and several gentlemen connected with railways, were present during the proceedings. The jury having viewed the body of the deceased, which was frightfully mutilated, several witnesses were called, who clearly proved that the deceased had sufficient warning to get out of the way when the train was com ing, but which warning he did not heed. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of" Accidental death." REMEDY FOR THE DISEASE IN POTATOES. -- Tile following is a remedy proposed by Mr. Prideaux, the eminent agri cultural chemist of Plymouth :—Amongst the most effectual pre ventives and correctives of putrefaction, are chloride of time and salt ; both quite wholesome, and consisting of elements suitable for manure. For arresting the decay in the ground, a mixture of these—say 1 cwt. chloride of lime, 3 cwt. salt, per acre—may be strewed round the plant, and immediately covered in (for day-light kills the chloride of lime). Or if the weather should, happily, become dry, it may be applied liquid, at the rate of 1 gal. water to 1 lb. of the mixture. Potatoes dug apparently sound and subject to rot afterwards, may be first washed in water, and then steeped in the above solution 12 hours (perhaps less time will be found to do). The same liquid will do for many quantities of potatoes, by adding more of the mixed salts and chloride, as they absorb it out; for which the taste may be a sufficient guide. The salt should be clean, such as is sold for about Is. 6d. per cwt. for agricultural purposes; foul salt would exhaust the purifying quality of th e e f chloride. The chloride of lime (bleaching powder) should the very best quality, which is the cheapest fart!re, tl l :: chloride it b 7, a perishable article. The salt should be well mixed wi th first, as the latter is apt to curdle in water al%neinig a o n r d insolution, iron no er metal of any kind should touch it , either in m as metals quickly exhaust its qua lities. —werkr i n Times. ROBBERY BV' A FALSE FRIEND —At the Thames Police-court on Mon da y , a young lrishwoman, named Sarah Downly, applied to M r. Broderip, t he presi ding magistrate, to solicit his advice an d assistance. The app li cant, whose sobbing almost choked her utterance, stated that she came from Dublin a fortnight ago in the Devonshire steamer, for the purpose of emi grating in one of the New York liners for America, and provided herself w i t h every requisite for the voyage. During the trip from Dewar to London she formed an intimacy with a Cornwall woman. named Williams, who embarked on board the Devonshire at Val endto hertake e c o h n a ti r d g e e n o e f e h t e h r e b C r o o t r h n e w r - a i l n l . 1 a w w o ' m s c a h n i dren. proposed H m outh. The woman repr esen t e d that she was proceeding to Having o L° bt i a ld in o they should engage an apartment in London between them. The applicant consented, and they hired a lodging at No. 4, Weil street, Wellclose-square, where they remained until Sunday. On Sunday week her fellow-lodger borrowed a sovereign, and on Saturday another, which she promised to repay when her brother in.law came to London. On Sunday morning while she was dressing, her companion managed to possess herself of the key of her trunk, in which all her property was deposited, and soon afterwards sent her on an errand, and on her return home she dis covered that her trunk had been opened, and everything of value had been taken out by her false friend. The poor creature, who appeared quite heartbroken, said she had not a friend in England, and was quite destitute; all: her money was gone, and the store* she had provided for the intended voyage to America. Kr. Broderip gave the young woman some money to support let emporarily, until inquiries could be made. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAlLWAY.—nnWed nesday last, the sixth and last arch of the monster bridge that spans the river Lowther, near the village of Clifton, West moreland, on this line, was keyed on that day, in the presence of a large concourse of people and workmen. Mr. Larmer, the principal engineer for the Company, went through the formali ties and ceremony usual on such occasions ; on the termination of which, the vast multitude gave three tremendous cheers, all wishing safety and success to the important undertaking. After wards the workmen were regaled with a few barrels of ale; and, upon the whole, the occasion was one of the most interest. ing character. The works generally on this line are making rapid progress. r INar
