With t he exception of Mond a y, in the afternoon of which rme very heavy showers fell, every day has been dry and warm.

OXFORD AND SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. NEWBURY, SEPT. 2.-In compliance with a requisition very numerously signed by the principal inhabitants of Newbury and its vicinity, who " are anxious to promote the construction of this ( Bethell's) line of railway, being convinced of its great importance and value to the locality," a public meeting was called by the Mayor, and held to-day at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of furthering the undertaking. The meeting was very nu merously attended. Amongst those on the platform and around it were Alderman Hughes Hughes; George Adam, Esq., of London ; Joseph Brown, Esq., R. Etwall, Esq., M.P. ; Wm. Chadwicke, Esq., London; John Bethel), Esq., R. Watkins, Esq., Rev. Dr. Binney, Rev. J. H. Ashworth, Mr. E. Slocock, Mr. C. Slocock, Colonel Burslem, Mr. Wosey, Mr. W. Gray, Mr. Hulbert, Mr. Westlake Mr. Sharp, and many others of the leading persons of the neighbourhood. Shortly after two o'clock the chair was taken by the Mayor of the Borough, and the requisition for con-- vening the meeting having been read, the l hairrnan called on Alderman Hughes Hughes to address the meeting.. The worthy ALDERMAN observed that he was a member of a depu'ation from the provisional directors of the Oxford and Southampton Railway Company, who had come to Newbury in order to express to the inhabitants of that dis trict the anxiety of the board that their project should be tho roughly understood by all those whose interests it affected ( ebeers)-and also to gather their sentiments with regard to the undertaking. In point of fact they had come to ask their suffrages on its behalf, and, as far as he was enabled to judge of the value and the reception they had met with, he was sure those suffrages would not be refused.-4 Cheers.) He would not detain the meeting by entering into any details or explana tion of the scheme, as there were several other gentlemen pre se..t who were anxious to do so ; he would only say that he was confident the railway projected by Mr. Bethel) was well calcu lated to benefit, not only this town and neighbourhood, but the kingdom at large, and he would therefore promote it by every means in his power.-(Cheers.) Mr. BETWELL next addressed the meeting. The plan of the line he said had been laid before him by the engineers (Messrs. Birch) ; it was not projected by himself; but he saw the important advantages which must arise from the construc tion of it, especially to this locality, and he at once formed a company to undertake the work.- ( Cheers.) There had been very little difficulty with regard to that part of their proceed ings ; for in point of fact the project met with universal sup port.-( Hear, hear.) The merchants of the north and those in London, as well as the shipping interests in Southampton, were all in its favour. -(Cheers.) The Board of Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Stcam Packet Company had declared their intention of giving the line their most strenuous support -( Cheers) ;-and with reference to the public confidence, he might state that although the scheme had only been adver tised four days they were deluged with applications for per. mission to subscribe.-( Hear, hear.) From Southampton alone they had offers enough to make up the whole amount of capital required. All those who were acquainted with the progress of railways throughout the kingdom must be acquainted with the improvement they had effected in every village at which they touched.-( Hear, hear.) New bury had not at present any railway communication with other parts of the country ; but if the proposed line were constructed, it must be obvious that such an im portant town as this, having a great market for agricultural and other produce, would be considerably benefited - ( Cheers.) Of the importance of a direct railway communica tion between the manufacturing districts and Southampton to the latter place a proof was given by the increase of traffic since the opening of the South-Western line; and Mr. Ed- Wards, the collector of customs there, gave it as his opinion that if a direct means of communication were established, the amount of exports would in ' one year be raised from one to ten millions.- (Cheei s. ) There could be little doubt also that in twelve months after this railway was opened New bury would be enjoying increased prosperity in proportion with Southampton.--( Hear, hear.) It was intenged that the line should commence from a point a little north of Winchester and short of Andover-road station, proceed to Whitchureh, near Newbury, and from thence to Didcot, where it would join the Oaf. 'rd and Didcoi line leading to the north. Upon looking at the map. it would be seen that it was the most direct line from Southampton to Oxford. It would connect also Gosport and Portsmouth with this district, and also the important market towns of Newbury and Winchester.-( Hear, hear.) They would thus have an opportunity of sending their grain at a cheap and rapid rate to be shipped round the coast, and also of forwarding it to the Government victualling-yards.- ( Hear, hear.) In addition to this they could send their oak timber to the dockyards of Portsmouth ; and not only would they do this, but they would open a direct means of ti affic for manufactures to all parts of the world from one of the most convenient ports in the kingdom.-( Cheers.) Such matters as these could not fail to be capable of the most beneficial re sults. He believed there was another plan of making a line in this district, which included a branch to Swindon ; but he thought it was a most important point for the Newbury people to secure a direct line through their own town.-( Cheers. ) It was also suggested, when this project was first laid before him, to have a branch to Swindon ; but he declined adopting the suggestion, because he had not the means of communi cating on the subject with the managing parties of the Great Western Railway. But he was prepared to tell the meeting that when those managing parties had been asked if an under standing upon the point was not come to-that is, if they re fused to make a direct line from Newbury to Swindon, and the people of Newbury wished that such a line should be made, the Oxford and Southampton Company would be prepared to un dertake it.-(Cheers.) Irrespective of mercantile traffic, it would also be found that there was passenger work enough to warrant the construction of this railway. It would be connected with a point which would lead to every part of the kingdom. The formation of this company had led to the formation of three or four other compt.nies for various lines. One of them, which was projected to run from Rugby to ))Manchester, through Macclesfield, would shorten the distance between those tyre places hy 15 miles ; and as the distance from Southampton to Manchester, by the ONfurd and Southampton line, was under present circumstances shorter by six miles than the dis tance from Manchester to Southampton via Cheltenham, no less than twenty-one miles would be saved by ting the scheme under the consideration of the meeting.-(Cheers. ) The traffic also would be at infinitely less cost than on any other line.-( Hear,) There were many other advantages connected with the project, with which he would not trouble the meeting by detailing them. The traffic between the important town of • Birmingham and its neighbourhood would be secured by it, and it was suite clear that it must have the support of the Govern • ment, inasmuch as it would afford great facilities of sending military and naval stores from one epd of the kingdom to the . other.-( Hear, hear.) Before he sat down he begged leave to - mention another important matter. It was positively aseer - taitied that the line could be opened within twelve months Ooi from the time the Bill sactioning it had received the royal - assent ; and the road would be laid down by the engineer in 2 % such a manner as best would consult the wishes of all the land owners whose interests would be affected by it.-(Cheers.) mt . , c,; 3 DWICKE, a gentleman who said he had consider in the construction of railways, said he thought able t b 4 d dope ample justice to all parties in laying 1 1 : rTI out this ians if t .t n! "o l , l : void principal suggesting lines of railway interfering with valuahle*O'repettkaed --- this instance much eugleereipg still had been exhibited in - avoiding the domain of the Earl of earnarvon, without at all detracting from the usefulness of the work.-( Hear, hear.) In another line proposed he saw many difficulties, which it would 141 p cncounter, especially in the neighbour- The Rev. Dr. BINNEY then came forward, and eongratu,.. - hbeoosi almostol s i ra yr s' lated the meeting upon the value of the project and the success - with which it was likely to meet. He moved a resolution to the effect that the line linown as Bethell's line afforded the most - direct means of communication between Southampton and - Didcot, through the town of Newbury, and was deServing of - their support; and that they cordially undertook to support it, by all legitimate means, and would request their represents, 3 .- tires in Parliament to further the sa m e accordin g l y , Mr. E. SLOCOCK having sensided the resolutign, Mr. ETW ALL, , M.P., sail, as a member of a deputation from the towns sf Soothunpton awl 'Andover, he wishoti,AtY when it. wockl. suit the COnveri( , nce of the mert:ug to hear an explanation with regard the , projected ra;lwny from South aa:pton to Andover and N,wt m , y ? Alderman Itor..nr.s 1 - JucifiE".; said, although the promoters of the line now tinder consideration had been refus, , ,l a hearing at the meeting recently held at Southampton, they were not di , po•.;ed to fqilow the eo , :t•ie adepied at that n eel tog. 'I hey lot been, he ariderlt , md, most di,courteou,sly treated at that meeting, but they wished to act on the principle that " fair play is a jewel," and would be anxious to hear any arguments that might be advanced on behalf of any undertaking, although different to their own.—( Cheers. ) The resolution w: s then put and carried. The Rev. J. H. AsHWORTII, in eloquent terms, stated that his experience as a clergyman enabled him to say that railway communication had conferred great benefits on society gene rally throughout the kingdom. In no district, how ever, was it more wanting than in North Hants, and, inasmuch as the line now proposed would achieve his desire, he hoped it would be adopted. He moved a resolution to the effect that the inhabitants of the northern division of the county of Hants would acquire by the proposed line ready access to their county town and episcopal city, and an advantageous outlet to the productions of their district. The resolution was seconded by Colonel LUILsLEaf, and passed unanimously. Mr. J. T. WAsEir strongly advocated the proposed line, and said that although it would pass through a considerable pottion of its property—he might say i 6 miles of it—and perhaps create a serious iojury, yet so convinced was he of the utility of the road, he woti.d give it his best support.—(Cheers. ) tie moved a resolution to the cahoot that tie continuance of the lit.e would, in its northern progress, afford considerable accommodation to those who frequented the important sheep 'Dockets of 'lslay. Mr. II u Lunn' seconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. W. GRAY entered into a variety of statistical de tails, in order to show the benefit of the railroad traffic, and said he was convinced that the present scheme was pregnant with good results. He proposed the next resolution. to the effect that the population of Newbury, which embraced 60,000 inhabitants within an area of 10 miles, the abundance of the agricultural produce, and the acknowledged excellence of the markets, entitled the district to increased commercial fa cilities. Mr. C. SLococa seconded the resolution, which passed. Mr. WESTLAKE said, as a merchant of Southampton, he begged to state that he gave his entire approbation to Mr. Bethell's line of railway ; and he was also enabled to state that the opinions of the merchants of Southampton accorded with his own on this subj.-et. —( Cheers.) He proposed that the rapidly increasing importance of the town of Southampton de manded the most speedy and direct communication with the trading districts of the north. The resolution was seconded by Mr. EDWARD SHA arc, and adopted. Mr. PARSONS then came forward to address the meeting as a member of a deputation from the Southampton, Manchester, and Ox!'ord Junction Railway Company. He spoke at consi derable length and in eloquent terms with regard to a line which that Company had to propose, not, he said, in opposition to Bethell's line, for he did not come there to offer opposition to it, but he wished to bring under their notice two lines which he said would combine advantages equal to Bethell's line and the Direct Manchester and Southampton Railway, which latter roads would cost two millions of money, whereas the lines he had to propose would only cost 900,0001. He proposed to make two branches, one to Swindon going through Hunger ford and Highclere, and the other through Ilslay to Didcot, which would afford means of communication by railways to all parts of the kingdom that could not be given by Mr. Bethell's plan. It had. he believed, been hinted that he had stolen Mr. Bethell's plan—( Hear, hear, and laughter)—but if the proper registers were searched it would, he believed, be found that his line was registered, if not before or as soon as Mr. Bethell's, at least within a day or two afterwards.—( Laughter.) Mr. BE In ELL. —W hen was your line registered? Mine was registered on the 7th of August. Mr. Pastsorrs.—l cannot exactly say—(Laughter)—but assure you, upon my honour, I had the scheme in my head before then. He disputed not the utility of Mr. Bethell's railway, but he thought that two lines, giving great facilities in an agricultural district like this, would be more advantageous than one. Mr. Evara LT. next proceeded to address the meeting, and to introduce his project on behalf of the Southampton, Andover, and Newbury Railway, and some interruption took place. The Honourable Member, however, detailed his plans, and stated that a prospectus of the line would appear in a few days, and he had no doubt it would be received with satisfaction by every person in that neighbourhood. Mr. BETHELL was heard in reply, and stated that Mr. Par sons had pirated his plan. Mr. PA RSO S s denied the assertion. Mr. BETH ELL then asked Mr. Parsons to produce his maps, and he would show him that lie had done so. Mr. PA resoNs said he could not produce his maps. He had unfortunately lost them on his way down from London.— " Oh, oh," and laughter.) Mr. CHA DWICKE said he would show from Mr. Parsons's own plans that it would be impossible for him to carry it out so as make the line west of Ilslay. Mr. PARSONS —Then I will take the east side.—(Great laughter. ) The dischssion then terminated. Mr. WATKINS then moved and Mr. BARRETT seconded a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his impartial conduct, which was unanimou-ly passed. The late hour of the evening at which the proceedings of the meeting were brought to a close precludes giving more than an outline of what was uttered by the speakers. GREAT NORTHERN OF FRANCE. Yesterday the first general meeting of the proprietors of this ( Rosamel's) Company, whose line is to run from Paris to the frontier of Belgium, with branches to Calais and Dunkirk, was held at the London Tavern, Isishopsgate-street. Mr. J. D. Powles, director of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, in the chair. The other directors present were Mr. John Catley, Mr. Archibald Paull, director of the London and York ; Mr. George Pollard, chairman of the West Yorkshire Railway ; Mr. John Rawson, Halifax ; Mr. J. Hopkinson, Mr, Joseph Esdaile, and Mr. John Frith. There was a numerous attend ance of shareholders. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting on. the position of affairs. The directors had had the line surveyed by com petent engineers, with the intention of making a tender to the Gorernment, but the D eling in France was so strung in favour of an amalgamation with other lines, that they at once gave up the idea. The feeling of the Government was also strongly in favour of amalgamation, and the public M niater gave it as the opinion of the Government that they wore decidedly anxious for the amalgamation of all the great companies in France, to take the railways into their own hands, as they had foreseen the possibility of their falling into the hands of parties who could not efficiently carry them out ; persons who, when it became necessary to make payments to work them out, would be unable to do so. The Government felt the probability of a financial crisis arriving in France in connexion with this species of property, and urged upon the companies generally the propriety of amalgamating , as likely to be beneficial to the companies themselves, and give greater security to the public. The terms upon which, these contracts were to be made were a lease of forty-one years and a few days, so that the Government of France could not be in jured by the principle of amalgamation. The French press questioned whether these amalgamations would be leg al ; but there was no law to prevent am a l gama tions. The result was , that six companies connected w ith F ranc e had amalgamated , and the portion of shares allotted to the Great Northern was 41,000, of which 20,500 would be retained by the French Committee, and an equal number allotted fur distribution amongst the English proprietors, at 21. per share. It was determined by the Directors that the payment to be made should be 51. per share on those which were now to be allo cated. This could not operate injuriously to the shareholders, because they would have the less to pay upon the whole num ber of shares, or if they were to sell in the market they would get the price to which such a payment would entitle them. On the Bth of September the proportion of the English division of the capital would be paid into the hands of the Government, and notice would then be given to the shareholders when they were to receive their proportion of the shares to be allotted them, and the balance due on account of the money they had already paid on their shares. The proportion of shares would be in the degree 01 . 20,500 to 150,000. There would be an odd balance of 500 shares. When they received the shares from France, notice would be given to the shareholders, and the balance would be returned without expense. Mr. WA LIAR, after adverting to the successful termination of the Directors' negotiations with the French Government, proposed a resolution, which was seconded and passed unanimously, that the 500 surplus shares be left at the dis posal of the provisional committee for their services, and the meeting separated LONDON AND SOUTH ESSEX. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Rayleigh and its neighbourhood was held at the Golden Lion Inn, Rayleigh, on Tuesday, to ascertain the general feeling with regard to the benefit and accommodation likely to arise by a direct railway communication from London to Southend , passing through or near the town of Rayleigh. Dlr. E Bulwer presidtd. Mr. J. MAYN said it was the wish of the inhabitants that the line should pass as near Rayleigh as possible. . The Rev. J. T. ULETT moved the first resolution, affirming the desirableness of the line, which was seconded by the Rev. E. B. I'tlAaiuoTT, and adopted. Mr. TaTE, the architect, said it had been the object of Mr. Locke to bring the line as near the town of Rayleigh as possible, arid the levels had been taken with that view. The line was laid down going as near to Billericay as the country would permit. The Directors were not a little surprised to find that a rival scheme had been promoted by the inha bitants of that district. The line would come near Ray. leigh. Cuttings of any magnitude through the clay hills of that part of the country wouldnot only be attended w ith diffi culty, but with great expense. Since the meeting at South end, the attention of the people of the Netherlands had bees drawn to the facilities wh m iclt igh th t f is e l el ine su w rp o r u i l s d ed give,toe told that bcommuni cating with the continent, and it a ppeared that a large stream of traffic g raffi en c tl t e o m ß e e n lg p i r u e m sen a t nd other parts might be brought upon it. y means of this line the journey from London to Brussels could sentiments construction, entsof th e they ee could he accomplished in ten hours . The y would leave Fenchurch street by this railway, emba rk at the C rouch , and by means of railways completed, or in process reach Brussels in that short space of time. On the motion of Mr. A. HOLT WHITE, seconded by the Rev. J. PILKINGToN, a re solution w as passed to the effect , that a memorial, embodying the ssse onf im should be forwarded to the provisional committee of the pro jected line. COMBINATION STRUCK ON THE GiEAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.--We regret to learn that a most dan rrous combination has manifested itself on the railway be tween Carlow and Athy. The combination appears to be the result of a settled and matured plan of operations; and that it has assumed a formidable aspect may he gathered from the fact, that some of the combinatory are strangers from Tipperary, and who were the loaders in the emeute which took place on Friday last, about four miles from this town. On that day a party of about 200 men quitted the work near Athy, and de manded higher wages—for the labourers, an increase of five shillings, or fifteen shilling! a-week ; and for the car owners, from four to six shillings a-day. On the demand being refused, they proceeded along the line towards Carlow, and called on the Workmen to "strike," and where their commands were not promptly attended to, this mob carried them into effect by force, and in consequence, the n umber was joined by a great number Za le nd of ex t h h i e bited a disposition to attack -long the line.

In consequence of this movement, the works were interrupted on some parts of the line, and serious annoyance given the contractors.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE - 'BIRMINGHAM AND BitISTOL LINE. • Darrottn, i<'lo'n ..v NfGHT.—The 'accido,t, hrkfly abode I to in Tim' Sun of to•day has re.T,ulted in the death of two per sons; another ides in the (Arr.:rester Infirmary a concus son of the brain, a fourth is lying very ill at Pershore, and others are more or less injured. It seems that a man sass ctigagvd at this station in the act of removing a truck from the down rails to the other side, to be ready to attsch it to the down train on its arrival from Birming ham. At that time a special goods train from Gloucester (which the man says he did not expect, neither did he see its light or hear its whistle) came rapidly up, and ran into the truck. The driver, Joseph Ward, was thrown over, and fell under a mass of iron bars, which caused his almost instant death. At the same moment the down train arrived, and the truck being propelled against it with great force, the effect was to throw the whole off the rails, the engines being smashed, several of the carriages much injured, and a carpenter, named William Miles, who was in the down train, and who was in the employ of one of the contractors, was so severely scalded, that he died this (Monday) morning. The facts of the case will be best gained from the evidence at the inquest held here this af ternoon by C. Best, Esq., coroner. The Company were re presented by Mr. Sanders. the secretary ; Mr. Whateley, so licitor; Mr. Swain, and Mr. M'Connell. General Pastry, the Government Inspector, was also I resent. The jury was composed of twenty-three gentlemen, of whom Lieutenatt F. E. Rose, R.N., was foreman. John Murphy being sworn, deposed—l live at Defford, and am employed at that station by the Birmingham and Bristol Company. I only knew the deceased parties by seeing them on the traiiv, On Saturday afternoon I was on duty at the station. The clerk at Eckington station wanted a truck that was at our statism, to load sheep in, on Monday morning. I was getting it out, about a quarter past ten at night, for the purpose of taking it across the line to hook on the down train when it came. While I had the truck there, an up train came and ran into it. The engine was thrown off, and upon the other line. A down train then immediately passed, and struck against the engine that had been thrown over. The engine-driver of the up train was thrown off. Both en gines were much damaged. Two of the up train carriages were knocked to pieces, and the goods thrown out ; there were no passengers. It was a luggage train. Two of the down-train carriages were much damaged. The truck at the time was on the main line. On looking about after the accident, I saw the driver of the up train ( Ward) lying on the line ; he was not dead, but groaned, and said Lord have mercy on me." He is now lying dead at the station. The bars of metal with which the track had been loaded had fallen on him, on his legs and body. I helped to get the bars off him, but felt rather poorly at the time; he was taken to the station, but was soon dead. Idid not - see till I sa v him in the station-house ; he complained of being in great pain. Miles was employed by the contractors as a car penter. The up train was a special goods train, and I knew nothing of its being expected. They had lights in front of the engine. I did not see the lights ; it is my duty to attend to the signals. Joseph Ward was injured by the first crash, and the other man was in the down train. Ido not know how he met with his accident. I carried a red lamp at the time of moving the truck. I did not hear the tie train. There were often trains passing without our being told of them, except by signals behind the previous trains. When I knew of the train coming from a by-stander I expected it would stop before it came to me, as the lines were being repaired just above. The proper time for the arrival of the down train was ten minutes before ten. The train was behind its time. We never remove any trucks till we hear the trains coming. There were two other signal lights besides mine. We had expected a short passenger train about the same time, which was to stop at our station. I have known trains run by without stopping when the signals are hoisted. When the goods train came up I took it to be the short passenger train before mentioned. I do not remember that train coming. There were also red lights to stop that train. The person holding one of the lights had been sent on the line, past the bridge, towards Eckington. The other was on the platform. „Ward seemed to take no notice of the signals, for he came up very fast to the truck. hen it came up I slipped my shoulder from the truck, and threw myself on a bank. It was a clear night, and I could see the lamps at Eckington station (more than a mile). The deceased ( Ward) was gazing over the top of his engine. He was not asleep. Mr. M'Connell, superintendent of the locomotive depart ment, deposed—l reside at Bromsgrove station. ( Witness here read the regulations of the Company for the engine drivers. These regulations appeared to have been framed with a due regard for the public safety, under any contin gency which may happen oa railways.) A copy of these rules had been given by witness to Ward, who, as usual in such cases, had consented faithfully to keep them. (The foreman of the jury here commented on the danger of drivers being enjoined to make up their time when lost, so as to be at each staticn at the period marked on the table. ) Mr. APConnell accounted for the delay in the down train, in consequence of the repairs of the rails, and having to wait for a mail train; he then went on to say that if Ward had obeyed the rules, with regard to the signals, the accident could not have happened. Ward had been employed for the last two months, and had driven engines about five years. If engine-drivers pass signals without stopping, we dismiss them. Should the driver accidentally leave his post, his fireman is generally competent to take his place. ( One of the jury observed that since the trade at Defford had increased, there did not seem to be enough of guards and assistants there ; but the witness said •that assistance was always forwarded there when required.) A truck, when in good re pair, may be easily moved by one man, carrying his lamp. When the last witness removed the truck, he did so to save time, to fix it to the down train which he saw coming. The mail train which preceded the up train had a red light behind, which denoted that a special train was to come. Jonah Abbott, porter at the Bromsgrove station, deposed— I knew Joseph Ward. On Saturday night I started from Gloucester with him, on a special goods train. We followed the mail out at about nine o'clock. We were loaded with iron rails and deals. Two carriages were empty. There were twenty carriages altogether. Ward was sober ; he was the driver. I was the guard. I did not see plainly any signal when near Defford. I looked out and saw alight, but the steam from the engine dazzled i'. When I came to the stone bridge we passed the red light. I was too far off to give the driver a signal, without leaving my break. I had put on the break when I first thought I saw the light. It was very dark, and 1 could not see for steam. We came in contact with something. I was not thrown off, but got off. I first saw James Baird, the foreman, come out from the trucks. He was with Ward. (A certificate was here put in that Jas. Baird was unable to be re moved from the Gloucester Infirmary. he having received a concussion of the brain. Another certificate was put in with regard to William Manton, another sufferer at Pershore, who is getting better.) I afterwards saw Ward lying and groaning under some bars. I heard him groan twice, and he soon died. I afterwards saw another person, who was much scalded. Baird went back with the train ro Gloucester. It appeared to me to be a dark night, but I was between two high trucks, and had a light. Although I could tot see the signal for the steam, the driver might. ( A conversation here ensued as to the great desirableness of having some invention for communicating be tween the guard and driver; but no such invention has yet been successful.) We were going very fast, but we were nearly halt an hour behind the mail then. If Ward had seen the light even when at the stone bridge, he might, I think, have prevented any serious accident, A red lightmay be seen at a distance of four miles, as I have seen it at the Lickey. William Guest deposed-1 live at Cheltenham, and am a con tractor. The deceased Mills died this morning. I saw him yesterday in bed at the Crown, in this village. I know nothing of the accident. Deceased was a carpenter, and was in the employ of myself and partner. His wife and one of his sons are come to fetch his body. (The order for burial was here handed to the witness.) Mr. William Francis, surgeon, of PershCre, was next sworn. I was called in at Defford station about eleven o'clock on Sa turday night. I found Mills cn a sofa in an inner room. He was scalded extensively on the face, breast, neck, and back. He was removed to the Crown, where I attended him in conjunc • tine with Mr. Davis and Mr. Nivea. He died this morning. The cause of death was the scalding. I a'so saw Ward when I went to the station. He was dead. I have examined his body, assisted by Mr. Marsh, of Upton. There were fractures or crushing% of the spine and pelvis sufficient to account for death. (The witness also described other horrible wounds. ) Mr. James Dore, superintendent at Defford station, was next called. His evidence elicited no new fact in the testimony ad duced. He corroborated the statement as to the goods train being unexpected, and also proved that the signals at Defford were most conspicuous at the time of its approach. Witness had known instances of the signals being disregarded ; but he always reported such instances, and the parties were discharged. Edward Shaw, the elan who held the signal light 4 the bridge, said he was ordered to get a lamp and stop all trains corning up hill after ten o'clock, on account of the repairs going on. He did so, and was stationed near the bridge, towards Eckington. The goods train came up about twenty minutes, or half an hour, after the mail train. Witness saw it coming. Did not know the driver, as the engine went by very fast, without taking notice of the signal. Witness waved his light, "bobbed" it forward, and shouted close to the engine, but al to no purpose. Witness also saw Murphy's light, and that on the platform. The driver could not have helped seeing wit ness a light if he had been looking out. James Crawford, of Gloucester, locomotive foreman, deposed that on the night in question be had attached to the mail train for Birmingham the extra lamp behind, which always denotes a special train to follow it. This was the whole of the evidence which could at present be obtained, and the Coaonxa then adjourned the inquest at eight o'clock. POWER-LOOM WEAVERS STRlKE.—Friday, a large body of ,the female weavers connected with the power-loom factory of Messrs. Martin and Cochran, in 13ishop.street, An derston, struck work for an ad , ance of wages, or, as they say, to endeavour to induce their employers to pay according to the same ratio as other manufacturers of similar fabrics in and around Glasgow. The strike occasioned considerable excite ment in the locality where it occurred; and during the day Captain M'Kay and a party of the Anderston police patrolled near to the work to prevent any breach of the peace. For tunately, however, the conduct of the females who had left the work along with their tenters, was so peaceable and orderly, that the services of the police were altogether unnecessary. In the afternoon a numerous assemblage of the weavers took place on the banks of the Clyde, near to Govan, and the pro ceedings, in the form of a public meeting, were conducted with great decorum.— Glasgow Argus. DISPUTED TITLE TO A LEGACY.—A sharp-looking young lad, apparently not more than twelve years old, was placed at the bar of the Borough Manchester Court, on Thursday, on suspicion of having stolen a pocket handker chief from Mrs. Taylor, Great Ancoats-street. The charge having been stated, the boy, appearing to be deeply affected, said—Sir, it is my father's viper ; he died a short time ago, and that was all he left me as a legacy. Mr. Maude—ls there any mark by which you know it? Boy—Oh, surely, Sir ; there's a little bit off the right-hand corner, and a small hole in the middle that a fly might creep through.— (Laughter.) Mr. Maude—Why, contrasting the colour of the handkerchief with that of your face, hands, and clothes, one would say, it priori, that it did not belong to you; if it did, we should not find it in such a state. Boy—Oh, Sir, I never uses that, Sir; I know better. I always keeps it lapped up, neat, clean, and sacred, because dirty father, Sir. Mr. Maude—How often have you been here? Boy (meditating)—Why, I can recollect four times. Mr. Maude—You are a sharp boy, and it is a pity you cannot conduct yourself properly. It appears you cannot behave yourself out of a prison, so you must go back for three months.—Manchester Guardian. METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS —The new line of road from the London Docks to Spitalfields CLureh is now nearly comple'ed. The kerbs are laid down along its whole length, and carriage and foot traffic are carried on nearly the whole of it. The road, it is intended, shall be continued through to High-street, Shoreditch, where it will come out on the southern side of the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway, but no preparations are at present made for the forma tion of this part of it, The estimated cost of the co nstruction of thr portion reaching from Spitalfiel ds Church to Shoreditci is 40,209/. It is projected that the line shall be furtcherurtain- ex tended from from the railway stat ion, across Holywell-lane, r road, Paul-st:eet, and Tabernacle - walk, into the City-road, at the point where it i s intersected by 91d -street. This plan, which would give a direct communication between the eastern 4rici vie4t,arn parts of the metropolis, would also serve as a junc tion to the two railways running to either side of the City, and it is expected would case that part of the burden of a great deal of traffic towards the water 'laide. he amount required f or the completion of the project is ;112,0001.

We recollect ourselves once wit nessing the manner in which jiditice was dealt out, some years previous to 1830 :—The bench consisted of three magistrates, two of whom were always at feud ; the third, who was the chairman, being also the rectt r of the parish. A man entered the room, he hid summoned another for an assault, connected with that fruitful source of litigation, the division of their land. The moment he appeared, the gentleman who had granted the summons opened his case. " Here," said he, addressing the par son, "is a poor, honest man, who has been very badly treated by one of the greatest scoundrels in the parish. " I would not," interposed the other lay lthadamanthus, " believe one word he would say or swear; for," said he, touring to the parson, " I have every reason to believe hires to be the paramour of two sisters." This abominable charge the poor fellow most vehemently denied, without being able to make any impression upon his accuser. " Ile voted the right way at the election," whispered his protecter to the chairman ; " we must support him, take his examinations." " Dismiss the case," sail the other. nudging his reverence. The parson, who was a very droll and humorous man, and had church preferment to the tune of seine thousands a year, did not well know how to act, as he was unwilling to dislodge either ; " I will take the examinations," he said aloud, and, turning te his dissentient brother, he whi.pered, " punish him t) his heart's content for you." The complainant (harslet- d their honours, and was about to depart in triumph, when the chairman addressed him. " Easy. my lad, not - 50 fast ; it is some time since I had the pleasure of seeing you ; you oe •e me three years' tithe, and I have no idea of allowing a man of your immorality to spend my money in improper pursuits. Constable, put him in the corner. Send for the proctor, until we see exactly what he owes, and keep him until he pays it." The man was taken, amidst roars of laughter, from the spectators, who thought it a capital joke ; he was put in the corner and kept there too, until he paid every shilling which was de mended of him ; end we leave it to our readers to sup rose what opinion he must have formed of the justice of the laws, and with what feelings towards the Church lit must have quitted the Court, when he was so illegally and perhaps so unjustly fleeced for its support ; he was quite aware that he had been treated in a manner which the law did not justify, but at that time he knew that it was hopeless to expect redress. This anecdote is Lternify true, and similar occurrences were by no means rare at the period when it took place. But at length reform did reach the Church, ten out of ii s twenty-two bishoprics were abolished, twenty-five per cent. was struck from - its rental, and its clergy men were removed from the administration of Jus tice. And what has been the consequence of this re duction in her wealth ? in the diminution of her po litical power ? and in the number of .her hierarchy ? Why, that the duties of their station are at least as well performed by the present limited number of her digni taries as they ever were by her more crowded bench ; her livings have been divided, and, certainly, without detriment to her efficacy, for the smallness of the in comes have not induced the scions of the aristocracy to undertake duties fur which they were unfitted, as her sinecures and fat pensions formerly did ; and men of humbler birth and better dispositions have been ad mitted and promoted, to the manifest advantage of their religion. Why, then, should we not persevere in a course which has been productive of so much good ? Why should we not still further reduce the unnecessary staff? Lord Grey, when introducing the Church Tempora lities Bill in 1833, stated-" Before the Church Temporalities Act, each Bishop in England super intended 370,000 members •of the Church, and 400 benefices ; in Ireland, 45,000, and 66 benefices. At present each Bishop in Ireland has 83,000 persons, and 121 benefices ; less than one-fourth the amount of pope a,tion each English bishop has to attend te, and one fourth of the benefices. Suppose the Irish bishops re duced to four, there would still be a smaller number of ersons and benefices under the charge of each than in England ; each Irish bishop would then have 250,000 persons, and 364 benefices. The see of Lin coln contained as many benefices as were in the whole of Ireland." Now, may we not ask, why this further reduction should not be carried into effect ? Wby should an overpaid Irish bishop be only required to attend to the spiritual instruction of 83,000 persons and 131 benefices, while an English bishop has 370,000 members of the Church and 400 he lices subject to his charge ? Things are at least as well ordered since the duties of the Irish prelates have been increased ; why not promote a still further amendment, by giving them still more with which to occupy them selves. A reduction to the number of four would ininish the absurd disproportion of the Establishment to the amount of the duties its hierarchy are expected to perform, and would allow the Church to be stripped withtizt detriment to its efficacy of a portion of those temporalities, the possession of which have entailed so much of odium and scandal upon it. But sup posing," an excuse can be found for e m pl o y men t o f t h e number of bishops at the present moment belonging t the Irish brunch of the Establishment, in fact, that how ever limited the number subject to their Jurisdiction, still there are in reality persons whose religious instruction hey are called on to superintend, what justification can be adduced for the payment of the members of the subor diorite grades of the clergy in whose favour no such pre. r_ext can be pleaded ? To pay a large sum to a bishop lOr lending his aid to the salvation of a select few, may be justifiable, for in Ireland a high value has always been placed upon orthodox principles ; but to pay men for do ;ng nothing, to tolerate the employment of parsons where there are neither churches for them to preach in, nor con gregations to avail themselves of their teaching, is a piece of folly surpassing our comprehension. And to attempt to continue this, too, in a country ruled over by an al most democratic form of government, in the face of a population professing a different religious belief; of a mi serable peasantry from whose very vitals the support of .uch an extravagance is wrung,* of able and influential demagogues, who are capable of turning to their own account every mistake made by their adversaries, and of a Church which, though it has been pronounced to be " without a religion," still manages to include within its pale nine-tenths of the population which has struggled with, and triumphed over adversity, and now stands forth in the strength which persecution and poverty have lent to its principles, willing and able, and eventually destined, no matter what obstacles it may encounter, to assume and maintain supremacy in the real sense of the word, over any other form of belief with which it may be brought into competition : not the ascendancy of pounds, shillings, and pence, but that which can be alone, with truth entitled ascendancy—the prevalence of its principles amongst men, the influence of its doctrines over the opinions of others. But let us see what the present condition is of what we think is rather facetiously called " the reduced Es tablishment" of that Church in whose temporalities so many reforms have been already effected, reforms which, even in the opinion of a not very friendly statesman, were admitted to be " a heavy blow, and a great dis couragement to her principles." What proportion does her wealth bear to her duties ? What the price which the country pays for the instruction of each person whose spiritual welfare she superintends. The follow ing summary of both is taken from the Daily Reporter, May 23, and is, we believe, in all its statements per fectly correct.

As so many parishes are without either a church or a clergyman, 87 unions have been formed. In Kilcooly, ten parishes are thrown together. In Ballymahill, there are nine parishes, one of which is 27 miles from the church. In the union of Burnchurch there are fourteen parishes, three of them are at the opposite extremities of the county of Kilkenny. In the 1,385 benefices, there are 99 in which there are not 20 Protestant Episcopalians ; 124 benefices, with between 20 and 50 in each.

'Rad Vat; Willi ______ THE NEW MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ACT. A letter received at 'Lloyd's, from their agent at the Cape of Good Hope, mentions that masters or vessel had been tined several hundred pounds at Cape Town, f.r an informality in the ship's articles under the New Merchant Seamen's Act. By clause 53, it is required that the Christian- names of each party signing be written in full. In case:. where they had been abbreviated, in formation of such informality has been given to the colhotor of customs at that place, and lines imposed in every instance. Captain Hight, of the City of Poona'. had been condemned in penalties amounting to 801., in a letter addressed t, I,loyo's agrit, there c;on plains of the harsh construction put on the Act in his and other eases., mentions the fact, that in many cases the men are incapable of writing any more th in the Abbreviation, and .inquires whether a man's signature, different from his ordit.ary m0 , b , ,, would be recognised to a bill of exchange, r wet- of . attorrwy, or any othk4 authority er agreement? And, if the tit cessity of the tyx- Ample be recognised, why should p,?nallies be laid in each individul CASO in the talkies ? As one moiety of the tines, however, is awarded to the informer, the reason is sufficiently clear. r these cireuins'ancs, the shipp:ng interest, and prirticularly ship raster:, will do v',-1l to t x,reist, tr,me caution, and observe the rules of the Act in the strictest seine. THE TASMANIA CONVICT, SHIP. SOLEMN SCENE. As it was expected thet the above vessel would sail on Saturday from Kingstown Harbour, a nurele r of persons proceed( d to the pier to e itnces the imprr s uive and melancholy sight. The day Has b,autiful, the sky was serene, the sea unruffled and renooth as a mirror— all nature was hu-lied ii, hallowed repose, and every thing indicated peacefultiees and happint ss ; but win n the eye turned to the gloomy nem of the convict ship as it lay upon those calm blue waters, a fleeting dungeon, the prison-home of the felen exile, a sadness came over the mind from the reflection that, however bright, and lovely, and joyous all things around it seemed to be, within its dark and tomb-like bosom were enclosed many suffering spirits, whose crimes had expatriated theta from their native laud, and to whom the beauties of " the firmament above and the earth beneath" were but as " a foul and pestilent con gregation of vapours." At three o'clock, through the kindness of the commander, Wm. Black, &q., and Sur geon Jason Lardner, a few visitors were allowed on board. The convicts, altogether c insisting of females, amounting in number to 137 women and 37 children, were at this time arranged at the mess table, and heti just eaten a plain substantial dinrer. The visineas de scended one or two ladders which led to the telson, as the place in which the convicts eat their Meals and sleep is called, and entered, by stooping, through a great door say, very much resembling that of an ordinary cell, This prison is situated under decks, and the mess-;- u ' r e, e ;, which are constructed at each side, extend . about two thirds the ship's length. Each table 'hs sufficiently large with ease, and at night to accommodate eight per.!_ais can be converte:: into a bedstead, or receptacle for a mattress ; it is railed or boarded in like a sheep-pen, and separated from similar tables which at either side adjoin it. To reach these tables or leave them it is, therefore, necessary to climb over the wooden railings. At the time to which we allude all the con victs were penned in—some were occupied sewing, some winding thread or cotton into balls ; some read.log prayers from small time and thumb-worn books--some endeavouring " to make out" the last letter froee home, while ethers were lulling their sick-looking infants to slumber, or sitting silently and motions _ ss in a state of mot bid, moping melancholy. The 'flour for recreation upon deck having arrived, t'ee convicts prepared to ' proceed there, end a few bad done so when the shrieks of a woman were heard " above," together with the rapid steps of a female, who was apparently running about the deal:, chasing and beating every person whom she :net. Then resounded from all quarters exclamations such is " The mad -woman has broken loose"—" She is coming down stairs"—" Shut the door." Some of the women ran and hid under the tables or in the little hos pital which adjoins the prison ; and others, more cou rageous, hastened upon deck to see what .t was that was listurbing the vessel. It was sore:, ascertained that a woman named Mary Kelly, wha was mad, or feigned tiredness. was pursuing all ono were within her reach. She had, it appeared, exhibited symptoms of violent insa nity, or assumed them, from the time that she was brought on board, in consequence of which it was considered necessary by those who had the care if her to take means to prevent the possibi lity of her injurint , any one. Her hands were accordingly fastened behind her back, her feet were tied 'ogether by leathern rings, and she was kept down in a recumbent position by a fehow-prisoner who was selected to guard her. The surgeon was unwilling to take ner on board as he was at raid she would disturb the peace and order of the vessel, and he objected to leaving ..her harbour and sailing until he heard further upon tho subject from the Executive. A communication was therefore made to the Castle, and an intimation received therefrom, that on Monday a medical investigation to test the state of the convict's mind would take place. On the receipt of this reply the surgeon gave directions liberate the prisoner. Her fetters were then re noved, and when she found herself free, she, as has leen already stated, rushed furiously upon all whom she met, tearing the clothes, caps, and hair of the wolnen, striking the commander, surgeon, and sailors, and !reeling the consternation and dismay which has been but faintly described. The Reverend Ber nard Kirby, chaplain of the Grangegorman depot for female covicts, who paid a visit to the vessel to give his parting and prayerful admonitions to the unfortunate prisoners to conduct themselves peaceably during tho voyage, and virtuously for the remainder of their lives, was in the cabin of the com mander at this period, and went forward to restrain the infuriated woman. He spoke to her, reasoned with her, and succeeded in bringing her mind to a condition of temporary composure. He then collected the Roman Catholics (upwards of 100 in number) into groups ut each side of the vessel, and prevailed upon Mary Kelly to kneel near him. The scene at this period was very imposing. Here were a number of human beings, vary ing from ten year s old to seventy—the black glossy curls of girlhood, contrasting with the hoary locks of wintry age; the bright beaming eye and rosy cheek of dawning womanhood, with the sunken tearful eye and withered cheek of " three score years and ten"—all kneeling to supplicate mercy from an offended God for crimes different in complexion and kind, ascending in the scale of criminalty from the felony of a riband to the murder of a husband or a child ; and in duration of punishment from seven to ten years, to perpetual tran sportation. Side by side knelt the miserable creature who poisoned her husband in Kilkenny, and she who drowned her infant in Wicklow when driven from the door of her seducer ; and near them sported, in happy innocence, unconscious of their degradation, unobservant of the misery around them, happy and playful as if they were gathering flowers in the field, two little girls the children of the convict mothers. The Rev. Mr. Kirby having gone through a portion of the evening service, usual upon such an occa sion, Mary Kelly, being under the impression that an old woman behind her, who was saying her prayers in a very loud tone, had approached too near her, turned round, and with a heavy blow laid the poor penitent prostrate upon the deck. A panic spread through the crowd, several ruse from their kneeling po sitions, and ran towards the forepart of the vessel ; in their flight two women fell over a wet coil of ropes, which in no small degree disturbed the solemnity of the scene ; but the service, notwithstanding this ludicrous episode, was continued to the close. The influence which religion had over the mind of Mary Kelly was but tran sient, fur she broke out again in a manner equally violent ss before, and it became a second time necessary to hand cuff her. The authorities of the vessel stated that they never had a better conducted class of convicts entrusted to their care, or persons more disposed to submit to dis cipline and observe the regulations which they had made. The vessel will, it is thought, sail on Monday, evening for Van Diemen's Land, where it will in ail probability arrive about the month of January next. A plentiful supply of provisions has been laid in, comprising pigs, sheep, and all descriptions of fowl ; and this fine vessel, one of the largest, most cleanly, - and most expeditious in the service of the Governinent,in tended for the transmission of convicts, has been fitted up in every way that could ensure the comfort of those whom it is destined to convey to exile.

Gentleman ran some risk in visiting the vessel, for he had only a day or two recovered from a dangerous fever, in which his life was despaired of by his phy sicians, and which originated in exposure to cold and over-exertion in his untiring labour to support the interests of the benevolent institution which he has founded. The assiduity and the anxiety evinced by Mrs. Rawlins, the matron of the Grangegorman Prison, in preparing each convict for the voyage, and seeing that everything was provided for her which necessity required, is beyond all praise. A number of attendants have been appointed from among the convicts themselves, the mest active and intelligt nt being selected to wait upon the rest during their meals ; and to prevent confusion, all the articles belonging to each convict have been numbered, the num ber which they bear corresponding with that affixed to a plate worn by her. In conclusion, it may be said that a scene such as is here feebly depicted reads a whole some and solemn moral lesson ; it was one which deeply interested all the visitors, who were indebted to the courtesy of the commander and surgeon for an opportu nity of witnessing it.—Saunders. en rind Ih lIAvnE, SEPT. 2.-1. ord George an._ .enry Loftus and Sir Henry Hunloke landed here yesterday, from the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Rain bow which left London the previous afternoon, arid performed the passage against a strong head-wind under 18 hours. lIERTIORDSIIIRE.—Sir Edward l3ulwer Lytton, Bart., has recently taken up his residence at Knehworih, his family estate in this county.
