A few minutes after one o'clock an elderly woman was proceeding towards Baldwin's-gardens with the baked family dinner, meat, potatoes, and pudding, when a bare-footed scamp darted from one of the courts, and boldly seizing upon the joint, scampered off amid the labyrinths of courts and alleys that face the eastern wall of Gray's Inn. The poor woman put down her dish on the pavement, and pursued the thief, but be was gone, and upon her return the dish and contents were gone too—of course by preconcerted management. There will be no rest lor the police and no safety for the public, until the abominations of Bell-court, Charlotte-court, Tyndal-build. ings, and the adjoining rookeries, are fairly rooted out by the parochial authorities.

The following account of the ceremony of cutting _:st sod of this railway appears in the Norse r ivers. .This important line is to run from Christiana to Lake Morsen. Its length is only fifty miles, but it will connect the seaboard of Norway with several hundred miles of inland navigation. The concession has been granted by the Government of. Norway to a company of capitalists, consisting of Mr. Pete, M.P., Mr. Ricardo, M.P., and Mr. Brassey. Mr. Robert Stephenson and Mr. Bidder are the engineers ; and the contractors for the works (which are to be finished within two years) are Mr. George Merritt and Mr. Earle. At twelve o'clock on the Bth ult. the Government and municipal authorities of Christiana, together with a large proportion of the members of the Storthing, marched in procession from the bishop's palace to the spot outside the city where the ceremony was to be performed. Galleries were erected for the accommo dation of about 800 ladle , . The enclosure was deco rated with English and Norwegian ffigs. The scene was enlivened by several military bands. Mr. Pete, Mr. Stephenson, and Mr. Bidder, having received his Excellency the Stathholder Lovenskiold, tha barrow and silver spade required for the opera tion, were presented to that distinguished func tionary. The first sod having been cleverly dug and wheeled off amid the cheers of the assembled multi tude, the firing of a royal salute, and the perform ance of the national airs by the military bands, his Excellency made au eloquent speech, in which be expatiated upon the advantages to be derived by his country from the construction of this railway, at d congratulated his auditors that it was to be 'nude by English engineers and English contractors, a n d th a t the money was to be provided by English capitalists. This sentiment was received with enthusiastic bursts of applause. A patriotic song, appropriate to the occasion, and composed expressly for it, was then sung by the united singing clubs of the town ; and the work commenced by the Stadtbolder was imme diately followed up by .50 picked " navviei," who, with shovel in hand, quickly afforded a visible speci men of their handiwork. In the evening a sumptuous dinner was given by the magistrates and corporation of the city to about 250 persons, amongst whom, in addition to the Stadt holder, Messrs. Peto, Stephenson, and Bidder, were Mr. J. R. Crowe, the British Consul -General (to whose perseverance and negotiations the Norwegians are indebted for the construction of this railway) ; Sir Thomas D. Acland, Bart., M.P., and several other English visitors. The Mayor of the city pre sided. The toast of " His Majesty the King" and of " Queen Victoria" having been responded to, amid deafening cheers, salutes of cannon, and feux de joie, the " Health of Mr. Robert Stephenson" was drunk, and most enthusiastically responded to. Mr. STEPHENSON said—ln rising to burden you with my thanks for the honour which you have done me, I must at once declare to you that the flattering ex pressions with which the mayor has associated my name are not due solely to me, but that the great merit of it b e l ongs to others with whom I have had the good fortune to be connected. In the first place, I am bound to direct your notice to the British Consul-General, who originally drew my attention to Norway. It was from his clear, honest, and truthful exposition of the various facts connected with this undertaking that I was induced to investigate the feasibility of the project which has this day been so auspiciously begun. In the next place, in my first visit to Norway I was accompanied by my valued and esteemed friend, Mr. Bidder, whose experience in railway engineering is scarcely inferior to my own. To his excellent co-operation you must attribute much of the success which has attended our exertions, and to his engineering skill our future progress must be greatly indebted. These are the two names with which the Norwegian Railway must always be asso ciated in my mind ; but it is neither to their names nor my own that you as Norwegians are indebted for your railway ; it is to your own steady perseverance and enlightened Government that you owe the events of this day, and that you will be indebted for the conse quences that will flow from them. Had these elements not been brought to bear, the assistance of English enterprise could never have been obtained. The mayor has alluded to the difficulties which you have I had to surmount on the score of poverty, but this is seldom one of the principal difficulties which railways have to contend with. In my own country, where wealth, and power, and enterprise exists to a degree almost unheard of in the world's history, there, on the commencement of railways, difficulties of a dif ferent character bad to be surmounted—prejudice and almost overwhelming antagonistic interests were arrayed against their introduction; indeed, those who are acquainted with the progress of railways in Eng land must marvel how so much has been done in so short a period of time. Thirty years hove scarcely passed away since my revered father, George Stephen son, was deliberately characterised as a madman by members of the British Legislature, when be stated his confidence that the locomotive engine could be made to realise too Norwegian miles per hour. His statements were received with derision. I need not occupy your time by expatiating on the results. Pre judice was overcome and science prevailed, and man kind is now in possession of one of the most civilis ng agents the operations of which history has yet been called upon to record. It was impossible for Norwe gians, from whom the Britons derive so many of their charac eristic qualities, to rest satisfied without enter ing the great race of progress. You have, no doubt, phy sical difficulties to contend with, but nature has been bountiful in scattering splendid navigable lakes throughout your land, which go far to compensate you. Let me for one moment call your attention to the nature of the contract which now exists between your Government and the enterprising men who have come forward with a portion of the capital n-cessary for completing your railway. In that con tract I am celled upon to act as arbitrator between the parties. This position involves great responsi bilities, and would have been to me insufferable had I not felt that both interests were actuated by the most honourable and liberal intentions. 'The Nor wegian Government may rest assured that I am deeply sensible of the high trust which they have placed in my hands, add that it will be exercised, if occasion may require it, with the strictest imparti ality. I way, perhaps, err in judgment, but my appreciation of the compliment they have thus paid me will always protect me from erring intentionally. Mr. FROLICH, a member of the corporation, then proposed "Toe health of the English Capitalists, Messrs. Ricardo, Peto, and Brassey. ' Mr. PETO replied in the following terms :—Gan tlernen, in acknowledging the honour you have done my colleagues and myself; permit me to express my great regret that one of them has been prevented the honour and pleasure of accept i ng your hospitality by the necessity of hi s p resence i n I taly at the opening of a railway there ; aiid that the other was compelled to remain in London by legislative engagements. The undertaking so auspiciously com menced to day is fraught with benefit to your coun try and my own--it will inn its completion place your fatherland a century in advance—it will develop your natural resources, and bring our nations into close contact—and though, as capitalists, we necessarily look to self-interest as the first motive in action, we are not insensible that there are other motives than mere money value. Onr countries have a common sympathy—you have a Sovereign whom you affec tionately regard, who not only commands your loy alty but reigns through your love—you have a con stitutional country whose interests are entwined round your sympathies, and whose advancement is the main spring of all your actions. We, too, have a Queen who reigns paramount in our devotion and regard. We, too, have a country and constitution, whose well being is our constant care, and we cannot forget there are historical incidents which bind us closely; and the cordial reciprocity of today makes me feel that the sentiment of your hearts are in unity with mine, and that, were they audibly expressed, your re. in n ut half felt.llt would sponse would be, " Were we not Norwegians we be Englishmen."

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. (From the Monmouthshire Merlin.) MERLIN OFFICE, FRIDAY MORNING. We deeply regret to announce that Aberdare adis another to the fearful list of colliery accidents, of late so numerous in the mineral districts, and by which valuable lives have been lost to a melancholy extent. On preparing for press this morning, we received the following sad communications : " Aberdare, Thursday, Sept. 4, 1851. " Dear Sir,--I am sorry to have to communicate for the next impression of your paper a truly lament able occurrence, which took place in this neighbour hood this morning. Itappearsfrom the brief particulars which I have been able to collect, that 14 colliers were in the act of descending Mr. Nixon's Balance Pit, called theWerva, in the vicinity of C wm Bach, when the chain attached to the carriage broke, and they were all hurled with fearful velocity to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 18(It feet. They have all been brought up dead, and dreadfully mangled. The distance of the scene precludes my ascertaining the names of the poor fellows. A full investigation will take place, when, of course, a reporter from your office will be present." Another account says— "Thursday Evening. "A cloud of gloom hangs over our neighbourhood, for we have had the misfortue of a most lamentable and fatal occurrence, involving the violent deaths of from twelve to sixteen colliers, who, in an instant of time, and without perhaps, having the opportunity of invoking the mercy or God, were sent to their ac count. The nature of the calamity is briefly told. A number of men were in the act of descending the Werva Coal Pit, when, melancholy to relate, the chain from which the- stage 'depended snapped asunder, precipitating the ill-fated colliers about, it is said, 160 feet ! The alarm was immedi ately given, and the people connected with the works and others immediately prepared for a descent to the fatal spot, where, alas ! death revelled in horrors. The crowds that rushed to the pit's mouth, many of them with countenances on which alarm and horror were depicted, and wringing their hands in the agony of apprehension, could with difficulty be kept back, so as to admit of a communication with the shaft. Who that was present can ever forget the terrors of suspense during the preparations to reach those who lay below in crushed heaps? Perhaps life, fast ebbing, might, by succour, be stayed, and some poor fellows saved to wife, children, and pa rents. But how sad must ever be the impression on the minds of those who witnessed the bringing up to light the bodies of the mangled men ? What piercing screams, as if the last efforts of the struggling hearts of the hopelessly wretched! Excuse this hasty scrawl ; my feelings are utterly prostrated. May He whose ever-glorious precepts are fraught with charity, and to whom it is pleasing that we should visit the fatherless and widows in their afflic tion, raise up friends for those made desolate by this calamity! The corpses of the sufferers are being brought up." THE AltiNIY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) ANOTHER POLITICAL MISSION TO KING DAHOMEY. —We stated some time ago that Lord Palmerston had it in contemplation to send out Commander Forbes, late of the Bonetta, on another mission to the African Sovereign, King Dahomey, with the view of securing his Majesty's co-operation in the suppression of the slave trade. It is now arranged that Captain Forbes shall proceed to the coast of Africa in the next mail packet to Sierra Leone, and during his mission the gallant officer is to be borne in the flag ship Pe nelope, as an additional commander. The Admiralty have at length disposed of one of the old superannuated .squadron of steamers. She is the Doterel, one of the old Portpatrick packets. She has been disposed of for 1,500/.

Several officees have been down to Weedon, either to " assiet " the prisoners or to bear testimony to character. Among these are Colo nels Simpson,_ Malet, Hartley, Coryton, and Major Greathed. Notes of the trial are not permitted to be taken by strangers, or we should have made early arrangements for giving particulars. While a case is sub judice, we hold it to be a journalises course, alike dictated by regard to the officers concerned and the interests of discipline, to abstain from giving any facts or offer any commentaries. Vulgar curiosity must wait upon the welfare of the army.

The speculative class of shares, however, continue to be most dealt in, and those at very close prices; whilst in dividend mines the transactions, so far as they transpire, are limited. In the absence of any excess of speculation in new mines, the real ket is healthy; and we have no doubt it will make progress in this satisfactory direction.

When none but really good enigmas and conun drums are proposed or ac:!epted, we are inclined to think them by no means un worthy instruments in the educa tion of the people. They are to the million what the severer borio us studies of f mathematics To trace bhidden d a e n n d ex plore secret qualities, to detect, t a h s o w t i b th ink th i e ng gl i e s n o c ti e jt o , f , an eagle, ncidences and mere verbal or and much more. is ne cessary points of contact and of .dtvergence, the mind with the attributes, history, and topography of who would pr operly . solve the distinguishno ea literal s t s u r rayl similitudes —to o t o bj ee between vc e t r s y , t concent rate epdanloi o all this, mystPries of the Sphynx , and he who is master of such an art has the intellectual powers of which he needs n o t be ashamed. It is impossible, however, to avoid trembling for the honour of the enigma, and the fame of the conun drum. Itinerant wizards and perambulating conjurors have brought this descriptien of mental athleticisininto sad disrepute. The most horrible, yea, even barbarous Playing upon words, has been rewarded with honorary distinctions, a n d more su b s t a nti a l pri zes . Ind iv i duals have received gold or s il ver watc h es f or p uns so ineffably wretched, that we really cannot write them down. In some quarters, however, most commendable efforts are icing put forth to remedy the abuse complained of. It will serve as an illustration of oar meaning if we her e announce that the indefati g abl e con d uctors o f th e Family Friend intend to offer before long prizes respectively of one hundred guineas, fifty guineas, and twenty-five guineas, for the best three solutions of enigmas! This is quite an unprecedented step, and will go far towards elevating the study of enigmas to the rank of a "science." A hundred guineas is usually esteemed a good sum for a prize essay; for a solution to an enigma it is magnifi cent. We understand that well qualified and indepen dent persons will be procured to associate with the offerers of these prizes, as arbitrators, to guarantee the perfect fairness of the decision and awards.—Bradford Observer.

A private view took place on Friday at 53, Pall• mall, of three large and elaborate additional views to be added to Messrs. Warren, Bonomi, and Fahey's panorama of the Nile, and the Holy Land. The pic tures in question represent the principal bazaar in Grand Cairo, crowded with buyers and sellers, and piled with masses of glittering eastern merchandise, and two religious ceremonies—the annual recurrence of both of which is hailed as holiday occasions by the faithful of the city of the Nile. First, wa have the procession of the Afahmal, an ornamented cover ing, yearly sent from Cairo to deck the Cava at Mecca—a small temple reported by the Mussulmans to have been built by Abraham—the sacred offering preceded by a band of fanatic snake charmers, and followed by a long procession of ecclesiastical and civic functionaries; while afterwards there is exhibited the ceremonial of the Dosah, also of yearly occurrence in Cairo, where, upon the anniversary of the Pro phet's birthday, the Sheik, or chief of the snake ' charmers, rides through the city and over long rows of prostrate bodies of his admirers ; the fact of sub mitting to the tread of the horse being esteemed a signal evidence of orthodoxy. The theory of the ceremony is, that nobody is or can be hurt by the sacred hoofs, and the horse is probably trained to walk as gingerly as may be, and to step fairly on the prostrate bodies; but in the occasionally occurring case of an awkward squeez', great care is taken to hush up the scandal. The new pictures are spirited, effective, and full of interest $ the architectural and still-life details admi rable; and the general result a decidedly instructive and curious addition to the former panorama, the chief pictorial points of which, we may remark, have been furbished up and retouched.

BARNETGREAT CATTLE AND HORSE AlR.—Satur day.—This important and extensive cattle mart termi nated about mid-day on Saturday, greatly to the satisfaction of a large class of breeders and dealers in cattle, who suc ceeded in disposing of nearly the whole of their live stock. This fair is held chiefly for the sale of young beasts, the greater part of which are bought by the graziers to be laid down in various grazing counties throughout England for fatting, after which they are transferred to the several meat markets both in London and the provinces. A vast amount of business was transacted. The prices for all beasts of first rate quality continued firm from the commenceneenottho, and final close of the fair, and the demand for Welsh, s l te Irish younglings, at the latter part of the fair, increasing, caused great improvement in prices upon the two first days' sa l e s. Mitch and down calving cows m a i nta i ned high 1) t h rou ghout the fair, only a few inf er i or animals remaining s amo k'. Good serviceable cart horses and cart colts kept up in price, and the trade in Welsh h orses was very extensive, many hundreds of them being so ld i n their rough, untrained state, but the breed and quality greatly improved. At two o'clock the race-ground was cleared, and the unsold stock proceeded on to Harlow Bush Pai-, Which comm ences o n Tuesday next. Up on t h e whole this great f a i r may b e re garded as one of th e best thathas occurred at Barnet for some rears ; and the proprietors of the numerous inns have reaped a beneficial harvest during the three days of its con tinuance,
