DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Oct, 5, 1850. 1,270 3,075 rTne following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :—] PRANCE. The affair of the seven journals p:osecuted tor in fraction of the law requiring the signature of the authors of articles came on yesterday before the Court of Correctional Police, for which the summons had been issued. The preliminary question of com petency was fully and ably argued by the counsel for the defence. Notwithstanding all anticipations to the contrary, the Court declared that it was com petent. This question being decided, Friday next was named by the Court to try the merits of the case. In the meantime the journals were sentenced to pay the costs. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The following official bulletins, describing the de fence of Friederichstadt up to the 2d, have been issued at Copenhagen, by the Danish Minister at War : That of the 4th instant states, under date of the Ist— " The movement of the enemy against Friederichstadt is continued, and appears to assume the form of a regu lar siege, as they are constructing earth works on seve ral points, and bringing heavy guns into them. Their fire is directed against the town, which has partially suffered. Several of the inhabitants have been kilted and wounded; the loss of the garrison, of which nu de tailed account has been received, is but trifling. An attempt of the enemy to cross the Eyder at Tonning, has been defeated." The report of the sth gives the occurrences of the 2 , 1 " The enemy has continued the cannonade of the town; the inhabitants have quitted the p'ace, which is almost totally burned down. The loss of the garrison in these four days' conflict is about 120 men killed and wounded. The enemy is continuing his entrenchment and field works to the east of the town, as well as to the south-east, towards Tonning." The following extracts from private letters, written by partisans of the Schleswig-Holstein cause, furnish many interesting particulars of the final attack on Friederichstadt THE EYDER, OCT, s.—At six o'clock yesterday evening the storm of Friederichstadt was commenced at all points. A heavy cannonade had been kept up throughout the day on the Danish works; the cannon ade was almost uninterrupted from the Milder dyke, from Chaussisa to Seetb, the Drager dyke, and the gun boats on the river. At a quarter•past five, when pro bably the decision had been come to that the storming attack should be undertaken, the cannonade was fiercer than ever; the very earth seemed to tremble under the roar of the heavy pieces. Suddenly the trumpet signals for the advance were heard on all sides—the drums beat the charge amid the loud hurrahs of the troops. The enemy had throughout the day, as during the previous operations, only fired a gun now and then in reply to our heavy bombardment, and scarcely a man of the Danish garrison was visible the whole time; an ominous still ness seemed to prevail in the town. But, as our columns advanced at the pas de charge ag ainst the works at the Grave Hof and the Blockhouse, from Seeth and other points, they suddenly appeared in the gardens, on the dykes, and behind the cuttings; in an instant thou sands seemed to have risen out of the earth to repel the attack. An unceasing fire of musketry commenced, through which sounded high the whistling of the heavy cannon-balls, the hissing of shells and grenades, and here and there the sullen roar of an exploding mine. The conflict became terrible, and as night fell was con tinued by the light of the burning town, which being set on fire was left a prey to the flames, that continually spread wider and wider. Whole square blocks of houses of the regularly built streets we could see catch fire and consume, and the place was soon an ocean of flame. The bate continued to rage wildly for nearly five hours, from 6 till 11 o'clock, and almost wholly in one direction. In the first advance our troops got pretty far forward, but were driven back; the signal to advance was sounded three or four times, and the soldiers formed and went forward again with the greatest courage, but they found behind the works a brave and skilful defence. At last, at eleven o'clock, the signal to retire was given; the enemy was too strong, and being covered by the dykes and outer houses and works, could not be dislodged. We have maintained our old positions during the night ; our loss is great. " When the troops were recalled from the attack a sudden stillness succeeded to the terrific tumult of the battle; all seemed glad to seek a little repose. The flames of the burning houses were still spreading over a wider surface." RENDSSURG, OCT. 6.—Whoever inspired us with the idea of giving up a position so strong by nature as Friederichstadt to the enemy without a blow must have been ignorant of the military advantages of the marsh districts, and must have believed that it is actually what it appears to be on the map,—all flat and even surface. What the reconquest of the marshes will cost us we have now proved in two attempts to storm a single town, with no other result than the loss of many lives on both sides, and reducing at least halt the town itself to a heap of ashes and ruins. The thou sands of cannon we have fired at the works have most of them sunk harmless in the soft clay dykes, without mak ing breaches in them; while the slippery surface of the steep banks and walls made the ascent of the storming parties, under the heavy fire of the enemy, excessively difficult and on some points impossible; and scarcely was one wall gained before another wide ditch filled with water was discovered behind it, over which it was not easy to throw a bridge when the enemy's cannon were especially pointer;, so as to destroy every work of the kind. Whoever duly weighs these difficulties will not be surprised that the operations of our left wing before Friederichstadt have not been attended with more bril liant results, and that the repeated attempts to storm such a place in the face of a garrison of four battalions have not suceeded. " Yet in spite of all these obstacles our soldiers did at one point penetrate into the town, but could not advance far. From the windows of the houses they were re ceived by a heavy fire of musketry; burning beams and rafters were hurled down upon them; in the market place a grim blockhouse, threatening destruction if they proceeded, stood before them; barricades in the streets stopped their way; they were compelled to retire from a place that promised to be for all a den of death, especially as even some of the inner works had been undermined by the enemy and were blown up during the conflict. It was an obstinate and bloody struggle, and the enemy as well as our own troops fought with unusual determination. The 6th battalion, which formed the principal storming party, has suffered the most; all the commissioned officers were killed or wounded in the attack. When ordered to advance the battalion placed its band in the middle of the column and moved forward to the music of the national air, Schles-- wig- Holstein, Meer-umschlungen. The storm of the burning town by night was an awful spectacle. The place has suffered immense damage; the Catholic and the Reformed churches are both burned down. " The enemy is drawing reinforcements from Husam, as well as fresh supplies of ammunition." THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1850. ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin of the sth announces that the Piedmontese Government has concludei the new loan of 6,000,000 of Five per Cent. Rentes with the house of Rothschild, at 85 per cent. We learn from the Concordia of Turin of the sth, that the sums hitherto collected for Brescia amount to 350,00 Cf., and are continually increasing. Sub scriptions have of late been opened for the same purpose at Florence, Pisa, and other Tuscan towns. The Sferza of Brescia, of the Ist, announces a new disaster that has befallen that province, and especially those parts of it which had escaped the ravages of the late inundation. The vines of Rovato, Cazzsgo, Coc caglio, and other places, which have no other means of support but the product cf their vineyards, have been completely devastated by a violent hailstorm. COMBAT BETWEEN TEN CIRCASSIANS AND A DETACIIMENT OF PRUSSIAN IN FANTRY AND CAVALRY. At the commencement of the Russian campaign in Hungary, twelve Circassian noblemen engaged as volunteers in the Russian Circassian regiment, and returned to Warsaw decorated for good conduct. The campaign having terminated they wished to return home, but they were detained, and placed in the same category as the common Circassians serving in the army. All their prayers and remonstrances, even to the Emperor himself, remained unheeded. On Sa turday (28th September) they quitted Warsaw, and passed the frontier cordon, a distance of thirty German miles, on Sunday, after leaving two comrades killed by their pursuers. About ten Pau. that evening the ten remaining arrived, with the two led horses of their dead comrades, and with plenty of money, at Chelmse, the Prussian frontier town. On Monday they continued their route to Kruziewis, and on the Ist of October they were conducted before the door of the Landrath, and Frontier Commis sary Fernow (Grand Duchy Posen) by a gensdarme. They there expressed a wish to be conducted to Berlin and there disarmed, but the Landrath re fused, and did not conceal his intention of having them re•conducted to Poland. At two P.m. they were led to the barrack to be quartered there, but they stopped short, and declared they would not submit to arrest. They forboded their fate—im mediate deprivation of arms, and there being trns ported back whence they came. The appearance of these chivalrous and warlike looking men was tragical and affecting, as they stood boldly and firm, gazing indifferently at the gaping multitude, and to the or ders of the Landrath, hacked by thirty dragoons who had been commanded to mount. The latter rode up with drawn swords and cocked carbines. The Cir cassians unslung their rifles and drew their pistols from their girdles. The dragoons commenced the assault with their carbines—the Circassians replied s%ith their rifles. The hansomest and most athletic of the Circassians fell, the others now set spurs to their borles, and fled to the road to Bromberg, but from their horses being completely jaded, could not go further than Kruziewis, where they resolved to defend themselves. Of the dragoons that pursued them, exchanging shots as they advanced, Corporal Lyck and one private were killed, and another wounded in the forehead. The whole squadron joined in pursuit afterwards, and whilst I am writing they are seeking to burn down the building where these unfortunate and desperate men are defending them selves. Two of them, it must be added, were cap tured on the road, and were much maltreated. The dragoons have set fire to the outhouses, but these poor nwh, who hav t0,; 7 0., ;; mined to resist to the last drop. The heart bleeds to witness the bloodshed and death of these brave and unfortunate creatures. _ Tne following is another version of this melancholy ;ragedy, in a letter published in the Posen Gazette of ,he 2d : " The squad of Circassians was conducted towards the barracks of Rruziewis, but nothing could induce them to enter the barrack-yard. The squadron of dragoons quartered at that place received orders to mount and surround them. The moment the dra goons arrived, one of them, as the witness B--- can take oath, fired on the Cricassians. The Circassians, who were mounted, now galloped out of the town, pureued by the dragoons. One of their horses, al ready nearly exhausted, fell near the Landrath's office, and a Circassian was shot ; so also was the dragoon, Corporal Lyck. A little further on two more Circse.sians were killed, and two wounded taken. The remaining five took refuge in the farm-house of Kruschlieviie=, after letting loose their horses. The men refused to surrender, and prepared for defence. The dragoons seeing this, set fire to the outhouses, and then to the barns and stables, but the house in which the poor men hid token refuge could not be burned, as they prevented all approach with their rifles. The other buildings burned all night, but the five Cir cassians still held out. At length infantry was sent for, anti during the nights of the Ist and 2d a detachment of 40 men arrived by post from Bromberg (a squad ron of dragoons and 40 infantry to take five wearied Circassians!) At length measures were taken for burning down the house, aed they succeeded. De prived of their last refuge, the Circassians rushed upon their enemies. One of them killed a foot soldier, and was killed himself, pierced with balls. The remain der, pierced with wounds, were at length captured, and brought in here on waggons." Another account of this melancholy and singular tragedy, given by an eye-witness,runs thus :—"Ooly one of the houses where the Circassians took refuge remains entire. The value of the same, corn, &c., burned down exceeds 10,000 dollars. They are all of noble Circassian family, decorated with orders, and in the rich costume of their country (the Russian- Circassian uniform). One, their leader, could make himself understood in French and broken Polish. They fled from Warsaw (nearly 150 English miles) in less than forty-eight hours, and insisted upon being permitted to go to Berlin. The sad affair is all over. Infantry was brought from Bromberg, which set fire to and stormed the house wherein the remnant took refuge. All five of them fell, one burned, the re• mainder mortally wounded. One foot soldier had been killed, and several dragoons wounded, and five horses killed. An express brought a letter for the Landreth from Plalerkome, where the colonel of the Circassian regiment, with nine officers and forty men, had ar rived in pursuit. Of the ten unfortunate Circassians, three are killed, three severely wounded, two slightly, and two taken unhurt. The living envying their dead comrades, for, unless the Emperor, who perhaps never heard of the poor men's application, be clement and merciful, the fate of the survivors will be worse than death. The dragoon officer in command of the squadron reports that hie men fired at first with blank cartridge, and did not resort to ball until the Circas shins used their rifle.." _ _ _ Such are the accounts given by the Posen and Berlin journals of this melancholy butchery; it can be designated by no other name. The cartel con cluded between Russia and Prussia certainly justifies the capture by force and mutual surrender of de serters; but we a.k, and so will all other men ask, whether the stipulations of :the convention could not have been carried into effect without hunting down, burning out, and destroying these unhappy fugitives, or deserters, like wild beast ? Of the facts there can be no doubt; and these facts, it will be admitted, surpass in heart-rending barbarity all that we have ever read of in modern days. THE HAT. Among the minor matters to which the attention of rkformers needs directing are, dress and costume. Science and art have invaded the palace, the cottage, the workshop, the prison; concerning themselves with the flesh we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, the houses we dwell in, the streets along which we walk; it is high time they should deign to look at the clothes we wear. Possibly more than one article of our costume, ugly and expensive as it is, from hat to boot, will meet with condemnation in the great gathering of the coming year. Look, for example, at the European hat. Grim, stiff, unsightly, uncomfortable; it has not a redeeming feature. Yet from year to year we go on wearing it, and even capricious fashion refuses to meddle with this mode. IVe owe the hat to France, whose pro verbial good taste in dress is .certainly here, as, in deed, in male dress generally, at fault. The native English hat, whether worn soberly as in the Com monwealth time, or with the dancing plume of the Restoration, was characteristic and useful. We never turn over the prints of those times without envying our fathers the ease of their soft and shady coverings. Ours are neither. While they brand the temples with red and painful line=, they expbse the face to both wind and rain. Oar neighbours across the Channel, we see, propose to send over to the Great Exhibition a variety of new ideas in the way of male head-dress — perhaps this may lead to a revolution in English hats. The turban is at least picturesque—the Greek cap is gorgeous—the old German slouch hat is comfortable —the helmet affords protection —every covering that we remember has some good quality in its form ex cept the section of funnels now worn in Europe, under the influence of P a ri s . Th e E ng li s h batters had better be wise in time, a n d se t th e ir w its at work to invent some thi▪ ng that w ill mee t t h e ex i s ti ng dis satisfaction with the pr o d uce o f th e i r ar t. We see that anti-hat soci▪ eties are springing up in England. The monarchy of the stiff hat is visibly drawing towards its close.—Atheneunt. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' Gallia', Oct. 10. BREACH OF WARR ANTY—DURLING V. DENNY. The plaintiff in this action is a lady residing at Sidcup, Kent, and defendant is a barrister. The action was brought to recover the sum of 151. for damages for breach of warranty of a pony sold by defendant to plaintiff. Defendant pleaded non - asiumpsit, and that the pony was Round. Mr. Sergeant CHADWICK JONES stated the case for thePlainnff is a lady residing at Sidcup. nd want of a pony, and through a aplaintiff July last The was in friend answered an advertisem ent inserted in the 7'imes newspaper by the defendant, who had a pony to dis,Jose of. The ploy was then at Groombridge's stables, in Holborn, and. from . taere a r e f erence w a; given to de rend ant, at his chambers, and th en d.f:oidant asked 20 1 . for it, an I said that it was a capit a l ene t o go, and was as quiet as a child to ride or d r i ve , an d wou ld no t suffer anything t ) pa 's it on the road. Tail was partly true, for when the pony could be got to move at all, which was some negoistion it was arranged it would not stop. After that plaintiff should some Defeadantle9d:fnculty warranted it sound and well disposed, and . on plaintiff thinking the pony rather old, defendant said that, although it looked so, it was not. Toe pony was taken from the stables, but seemed p a u work rlia: e o i f t to have such an attachment to the lo ca lity that he could hardly be got to go at all; but between coaxing and whipping it was at length got to Sidcup. The next day it was arranged to come up to L on d on, an d a f ter coa xing the animal to start, it moved one foot forward and two back, and was a perfect fibber . On g e tting half way to London he man aged to run into a ditch, and after divers mishaps they g ot to London. Plaintiff then called in a veterinary surgeon, . who , said that the pony was . not only unsound, being ~a : roarer," but was far from being a young arimal. He grimly shook his head, and said that it was aged, but he could not tell whether it was 16 or 26; but thought nearer the latter.—(L aug ht er .) This being the case, defendant was waited on, and he then said that it must be sold, and he would pay the dif ference. It was accordingly sold at Aidridge's, in St. Martin's.lane and f e tched only 7 1 ; and it was to reco ser the difference and the expenses of keep, &c., that the present action was brought. Mr. MAXWELL, for the defendant, denied that there had been any warranty, but, After a long consideration, the jury found for the plaintiff fur 121. 18s. __— MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Continued from our Afternoo n Edition of y es t er day.) George Fr ee b orn , of the Sta nho p e Ar ms Tavern, Oval-r oa d, C am d en T o wn, obtained his licence, the numbers bei ng —f or , 11 ; against, 8 ; Mr. Ballantine ap peared for the application. Edwin Wi n d er , o f the Mogul, Drnry-lane, was sup ported in his application by Mr. Bodkin, who stated that the necessities of the neighbourhood called for such amusements. The petition had been signed by the churchw ardens and overseers of the parish, and 54 of the principal inhabltants. Application refused. THE ARGYLL RO OMS. Mr. Ch ar l es E m i le L aur ent applied for a licenc-3 for the abov e pl ace , s i tuate d N o . 8, Great Windmill -street, Haymarket. The applicant was examined at g reat len g th, and Sta t e d that he signed, on the 2d of Septemb er, an a g reemen t by which ho became the lessee for three years, he agreeing to pay the sum of 100/. He had taken the premises of Mr. Bignell, but bef that time he was paid a s'ipulat , d sum for his services. It h a d nothing to do with any public-house, and he would base to pay the same sum, whether he was granted the licence or not. Theme i s n o eommun'eation from the rooms to any other house whatever. He had received tters from L A. Paeet, Colonel Paget, Major Pitt, Lord Tenaplemore, Lord A. Fi.eclatence, and several other noblemen of distinction, approving of his appli cation for the fiance. Mr. WYLDE opposed the application, and said that there were great doubts ai to the genuiness of the agree ment signed on the 2d of September last. Mr. BODKIN supported the applicati"9 and said that he could not understand how the c hurchwardens, who hael:cenae,there to petition against the lice' ce, had the effrontery to do so, when they could not get a signature to the petition, and they were person s who made wit less asserti ons without bang able to prove them. The room was a maguificent structure, and adu3irably adapted to the purpose to which it was applied. After "1^ , 11 , 7r• n ti t. 11? • .• ULiC: Z.L.d 4.61 i Upon the question whether the licence should be granted only one hand was held up against it. Loud applause followed this decision. ST. DIARTINS'-HALL. Mr. John Hullah, of St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre, obtained a licence unanimously. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the petitioner, but was not heard in support of if, one of the magistrates saying that a great deal of good had been done by such institutions. Mr. Stainfortb, who conducted his own case, was granted a licence for the Old Commodore, Old Mon tague-street, Whitechapel. THE COLOSSEUM, REGENT'S-PARK. Mr. BALEINTINE appeared on behalf of David Mon tague, who applcd for a licence for the Colossenir, Regent's-park. The Learned Counsel stated that Mr. Moritague had expended a sum of not less than eighty thousand pounds upon the Colosseum, which had been honoured by the presence of her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duchess of Sutherland, the aristocracy generally, and the most distinguished foreign-Ts who had visited this country. It the bench was not inimical to the in nocent and rational enjoyments of the people it could nut refuse this licence. Mr. WILLIS moved and Mr. AnmsTn.oNa seconded the grant of the licence.—Granted. THE ADELAIDE GALLERY. Mr. Thomas Bartlett Simpson, of the Albion Tavern, Russell-Gtr, et, Covent garden, applied for a licence to the Adelaide Gallery, Lowther Arcade. The petition having been read, it appeared that Mr. Simpson held a lease of the premises for 21 years. and that in rent and taxe:, he paid upwards of 1 000/. per annum; LILA be had laid out several tlacusand pounds in altering and improving the place; that ho had purchased an extensive collection of mechanical—foreign as well as native—curiosities, which he was now exhibiting in se veral rooms in the building, and that, moreover, he had also purchased the celebrated " Apollonicon," which he had erected in the great concert-room. Mr. CLARKSON (with whom were Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Parry) said that there was also a petition in favour of this licence, which was signed by upwards of 1,000 of the ratepa) ers of the district. Mr. ARMSTRONG said that, as he had ma do it his busi ness to take a minute view of these premises in his ma gisterial character, probably the statement of his impres sion, after having made his observation would save the Court the necessity of hearing this petition from the ratepayers read.—(Hear, hear.) His chief object in visiting the Adelaide Gallery had been to ascertain, by personal observation, whether there Ras any objection in a moral FAnt of view to a licence being awarded to the petitioner. He was happy to say that on going over the place he was most agreeably surprised; for whilst, in the first instance, he had found in the great music-hall that magnificent instrument the Apollonicon, he bad, in the second, seen that every other room had been pre pared in a manner which was only calculated to render that convenience and comfort to the visitors of the estab lishment which the ingenuity of a man of cleverness, and respectability, and wealth, would have conceived. He had been anxious to see whether, by the arrangements, any facility would be afforded to immorality, and he was glad to find that there was a total absence of any such facility. That being the case, he was happy to feel him self fully justified in moving that this licence be granted. Captain BAGUE had much pleasure in seconding the motion. Mr. STOCKS said that the best guarantee the Court had that this establishment would be carried on in a proper manner was the respectable character of the pro prietor, combined with his well-known pecuniary means, and his having conducted the Albion Tavern for so many years with such general satisfaction. Mr. TUBES was last year one of the minority of three who had voted for this licence. He had then tho;ight that the,licence ought to be given, and he was still of the same opinion. Mr. WILLS said that on the same principle that he had voted fur the Colosseum licence, so should he now vote for a licence for the Adelaide Gallery.—(Hear, hear.) He had been over the rooms, and a more beauti ful or rare collection and repository of specimens of the past and present day he had never seen. There were in that establishment things which were calcu lated to afford instruction as well as astonishment. There were models of machinery and other matters, all of which were of a character to increase the informa tion of mankind; and, as it was manifest that dancing and music were not the sole objects of the petitioner, he would willingly vote for the licence.—The licence was then unanimously granted. CREBIORNE. Charles Cooper applied for the renewal of the licence for the Stadium (Cremorne), at Chelsea. Mr. Parry appeared in support of the petition. The formal proofs of notice having been given, The CHAIRMAN said that whilst these gardens had been. in the occupation of the late lessee, Mr. Ellis, thero had been a complaint rais , d against this licence, and against the management of the place. In the present instance, however, the Court had a different applicant before them, and he was sure that the bench would not visit upon that individual the censure which had been incurred by another. At the same time, however, it would be well for persons who embarked in such a des cription of property to make inquiries as to the manner in which the particular place had boen conducted by his predecessor, for it should not be supposed simply that because it was a new applicant for the renewal of a licence that the application would be conceded ma a matter of course in cases where the management of the previous tenant had been the subject of complaint. It must not, in such a case, be regarded that the licence would be renewed as a matter of course merely because the petitioner was not the party against whom the com plaint had been made. Mr. PARR"! assured the Court that Mr. Cooper would in every way pay attention to what had fallen from the bench.—The licence was therefore renewed. The following licences, granted last year, were re newed:—The Royal Standard Hotel, Vauxhall-bridge road; the New Southampton Arms, High-steet; Bell Tavern, Kilburn; King's Arms, Mile-end-road; the Bayswater Tavern; the Salmou and Ball, Bethnal-green road; the White Hart Tavern, Chelsea; Golden Eagle, Mile-end-road; Brown Bear, Leman-street, Goodman's fields; the Camden Arms, Great Randolph-street; Castle Tavern, Kentish town; Eagle Tavern, City-road; the Tyssen Arms, ailston; Green Dragon, Beast-lane; Music Hall, Store-steet, Bedford-square; the Dolphin Tavern, Mare-street; White Conduit House; Yorkshire Stingo, New-road; E,arl of Effingham, Whitechapel road ; Ironmongers' Arms, Lizard-street; Bedford Arms Tea Gardens, Camden-town; Eyre Arms Tavern, St. John's-wood; Hare and Hounds, Chalk-farm-lane; Mu burgh Castle, St. John's-terrace, Rhode's-well; the King and Queen, Harrow-road; Lord's Cricket Ground; Fox and Bull, Knightsbridge; Cat and Shoulder of Mutton, London- fields; Exeter Hall, Strand; the Bell and Anchor Tavern, Hammersmith; Salmon and Com passes, Penton-street, Pentonviiie; Shaiwell D..ck Cof fee-house, Shadwell; the Northumberland Arms, Big nigge-wells; White Lion, Rigware-road; New Gibe Tavern, Mtle-end-road; the King's Head, Enfield; ete Bazniggc-wells Tavern, in Bagnigge-a.elis-roa I; the Assembly House, Kentish -town; Q teea's Arms Ta• vern, Pine-apple-place, E Igware-ri.a,l; the National Baths, High Holborn; the Princess's Concert-room, Castle-street, Oxford street; Cherry Treo Inn, South gate; the Ca:herine Wheel, Great Windmill-street; the Koag's Arms, High-street, Kensington; the Windsor Cattle, Long-acre; the Winds >r Castle Tavern, Vaux. hall-bridge-road; Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea; Brock flock Arms; Hanover-square-rooms; the Duelless r f Clarence, Vauxhall-bridge-road ; Belgrave Tavern, Ebury-street, Pimlico; the Prince's Head, Little Q.teen street; the Swan Tavern and Lord .alver's Hotel, Hun gertord market; the Spread Eagle, Kiugsland-road; the Commercial Tavern, King's-road, Chelsea; the Assem bly Rooms, Church•street; the Beaumont Scientific and Literary Institution; Saville House, Leicester-square; and the Lillie Arms, North .end, Fulham.

RAILWAY IN T LLLIGENCE. THE EAST AND WEST INDIA DOCKS AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION. A portion of this little but important line—viz., from Islington to Stepney, upon the Blackwall Rail way, over which the trains pass to and from the Fen church street station, has been open for passenger traffic during the last week, and to judge of the fu ture from what has been realised during that short period, the line promises, in addition to the great ad vantages which the railway per se, as well as the London and North-Wester❑ Company, must derive from its peculiar facilities for the transit of good., to have a very valuable passenger tragic. The portion of the line already opened, including the run over the Black wall Railway, is about 'Ti miles in length, and the distance, including stoppages at Hackney, Bow, and Stepney, is performed in 23 minutes. Trains run every quarter of an hour from Islington and Fenchurch-street, and the charge for the whole distance is fourpence. The number of trains to and fro is no sewer than 108 daily, and the uniform regularity will which they have run in be tween the Blackwall trains, and have kept time, re flects much credit upon Mr. O'Connell, the London and North-Western Company's locomotive superin tendent, under whose direction the entire working of the line has been carried out. The railway will be opened to the Eagle at Camden-town, in about six weeks, and the junction with the London and North-Western line, at the goods station at Camden-town, will be effected early in the ensuing year. A commodious station is to be erected at Chalk Farm, for the accommodation of the inhabitants of Hampstead and the surrounding neigh-. bourhood. The charge from the Chalk Farm station to Fenchurch-street will be the same as that from Islington to the latter place—viz., fourpence. The portion of the line open is worked with some of the four-wheel engines with which the passenger traffic of the old London and Birmingham was origin ally carried on. They have had their frames length ened, an additional pair of wheels placed ,behind the fire- box, and the tender fixed upon the lengthened framing, so that engine and tender now run upon six wheels. They work admirably, and their con sumption of coke is comparatively low. DIRECT MID RENT RAILWAYS. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Faver sham and its vicinity was held yesterday, to consider the proposed application to Parliament next session for a direct Mid-Kent railway. Mr. BRAITHWAITE, the engineer, explained that the proposed line would bring Dover nearer to London by fourteen miles, and Canterbury, Faversham, Mar gate, Ramsgate, and Deal, twenty-three miles nearer. The estates of the landowners through whose pro perty the line would run would be benefited one sixth; the saving to passengers would be at the rate of 2d. per mile, and on merchandise Id. per ton, be ing a saving of 7s. Bd. between the termini up and down in the former case, and of 2s. 10d. in the other. Contractors were ready to construct the line for 20.0001 per mile. The population on the proposed line was between 2 000 and 3,000 to the mile. The line had been surveyed, and the promoters would go to Parliament on obtaining the support of the inba bi•ants of the county. The scheme proposed by the landowners was impracticable, and would not be sanc tioned by Parliament, as it was proposed to manage it, like the old turnpike trusts, by commissioners and trustees, and for every parish to contribute rates for its support. Every town in Kent would furnish its local committee and directors. The proposed line by Strood would accomplish the distance to London in 43 miles, and the cost from Strood to Dover would be 980,0001. Mr:TUCKER and other gentlemen went on to explain that the proposed line would afford a direct, instead of a circuitous communication between the various places as well as from the continent, passing through Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Brompton, Gillingham, Ranham, Milton, Newington, Sittingbourne ' and other places, commencing by a junction with the North-Kent Rail way at Strood, joining the South-Eastern Isle of Thanet branch at Canterbury, and terminating near the Marine-parade at Dover. Similar meetings were held at Canterbury on Wednesday and at Dover on Tuesday, but the meet ings would not pass resolutions in favour of the pro ject until they had laid before them the rival project, proposed and supported by the landowners of the county. A meeting of the landowners and capitalists in support of this latter project, entitled the Mid-Kent and Dover Railway, to be carried out as a public highway, was also held yesterday, when the basis of the contract, which had been approved by the land owners, was submitted, together with the proposed new plan, which is to consist in the landowners along the line being the promoters of the railway as a pub lic work, to be constructed and worked under the control and supervision of public commissioners, as in the case of turnpikes, docks, and harbours. For this purpose a certain number of trustees are to be appointed for East and West Kent, who are to enter into the necessary contracts for the line, and give the requisite directions for the applica tion to Parliament, the line to be worked by public contract or private tender, having reference to speed and number of trains, the land to be acquired by the commissioners under the Act, and paid out of capital. The board of trustees or commissioners are not to derive any private advantage from the undertaking, or to be liable fur expenses. The capital has already been agreed to be advanced to the extent of 4,000,0001. at 4 per cent. interest, and an agreement has been made for constructing the line and purchasing the land. If the receipts exceed 4 per cent., a sum equal to half the surplus is to be paid to the capitalists, and if they fall short of 4 per cent. any deficiency, not exceeding 2 per cent., is to be made good by a high way rate on lands and other rateable property conti guous to the railway. The capital being raised by way of loan, no landowner will be called on for ad vances, and provision has been made fur all prelimi• nary expenses. The contingent rate in aid will be levied on the parishes traversed, if the receipts are not enough, and the annual rateable value of the re rishes proposed to be served and traversed is neia. 900,0001. LONDON ANE NORTH- WRSTERN.---INCREA SE OF TRAFFIC.—The traffic for the list week has exce; ded that for the corresponding period of 1849 by no less a sum than eight thousand one hundred and eight p .und4 The increase in the passenger traffic has ben 3 143/ , and in the good:, traffic 4,8371.
