As the election took place on Monday. and the return was made by the Sheriff the same evening to the Ilanaper-oflice in Dublin, Una delay in its transmission seems rather excessive in these days of rapid transport ; and such a circumstance might be very untoward or very icconvenient to one or the other party, of which a Member, or an opponent, might be thus " shut out" from a critical division.

The FOCI.TiE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the repo 41. which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and to especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more titan double the number issued In the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. Cd.: of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,125/. 6.. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3e. was received by the Company in the shape or premiums Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing In *lrma' premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 11. Is.. leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. Ild. Since last meeting loans were appliel for to the extent of 17,700/., but 1,183/. Ile. 103. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de t'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• siderab'e amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

We have rarely seen a hew r list for the last day, even at Goodwood; and it was the source of general re gret that the rain in the early part of the day confined the attendance to the men of business and a few fashion shies located in the vicinity of the course. The racing vt as in keeping with the general character of the sport throughout the week, and afforded the highest gratifica tion to those who had the good fortune to witness it. The most important events were—the Nassau Stakes, the Chesterfield Cup, the Richmond Stakes, and the Nursery Stakes. The first produced a most exciting struggle, and terminated in a dead heat with the three. The deciding heat was won cleverly by Lord Exeter's mare, but was remarkable for a dead heat for the second money tetween the two Goodwood fillies. The Chesterfield Cup, like the Stewards', was carried off by one of the formidable trio sent over by Count Hahn from Germany; and there seems to be little doubt that the great Cup would have travelled in the same direction had Montes remained sound. Musician defeated Compass cleverly for the Richmond Stakes, and Phlegra, for, the third time, proved victorious, atter a very severely contested race with Thoroughgood Slam. The meeting was brought to a close with the March Stakes, shortly after five o'clock. We understand that Lord Henry Lennox and the Hon. Fra,neis Villiers are appointed stewards for 1851; and that the " red book" has been banded round to ex cellent purpose. Sweepstakes of 200 soya. each, h ft. Craven Course. (3 Subs.) Lord H.

On the first day (Wednes day next) there will be hve races —viz., th e M ar i ne Stakes of 20 sovs. each, h ft, with 100 add e d, f or two yrs old, with 17 subs.; the Brighton Stakes of 25 so y a. each, 15 ft, and only 5 if declared, with 1 00 added, a n d an acceptance of 15 out of 48 nomination s; the Trial Stakes, the Hotel -keepers Plate, and the Town Plate, the latter in heats; the last three races to close and name on Tuesday next. Oa the second day there will be the Brighton Cup of 100 sovs. 12 the mo s t accepta b le shape—cash — wi th 10 nominations; the Pavilion Stakes of 30 sovs. oech, for two yrs old, three entries; the Railway Plate of 1001., added to a handicap o f 10 sovs each, b ft, for which the horses have yet to be named; the Stewards' Plate of 501., added to a sweep stakes of 10 soya. each; the Licensed Victuallers' Plate of 501., added to a handicap of '2 soya. each; and the Sussex Plate of 501., added to a sweep stakes of 3 sous. each; the laEt thr, e plates to close on Tuesday.

The club proceedings will be under the management of the Earl cf March, the Hon. Captain Rous, Captain Lowther, and Mr. Shelley. Mr. Payne and Mr. Shelley are stewards of the regular meeting. The Brighton Railway Company have not only con tributed liberally to the fund for promoting sport, but have advertised a special train daily at eight o'clock from London-bridge, to return from Brighton M seven P.M., at 7s. 6d. for the first class, ss. 6d. tor recond class, and 3s. 6d, (!) for the third class, the same fares as the Sunday cheap trains ; the trains will run in about cne hour and a halt. We have no doubt that these liberal terms will insure a great influx of visitors to the races. AQUATICS. THAMES BOAT RACES. The great matches forming the third of the series of boat races under the above title, in lieu of the Royal Thames Regatta, took place yesterday evening at Put ney. The races created the most lively interest, and amongst the elite of the Thames present we noticed the Leander, Westminster, Thames, Ilex, Meteor, and other distinguished clubs, besides many celebrated amateurs. The rowing was capital, and excited the approbation of all present. 'First Heat. Robert Newell, Battle•bridge. Stairs, and Thomas . Goodrum, Vauxhall -, . (Stripa) 1 Charles and Henry Campbell, Lambeth (Red) 2 William Pocock, Lambeth, and George Campbell, Westminster bridge (Black) 0 John Phelps, Fulham, apd John Prince, Chelsea, (Red and White) 0 Frederick Lett and John Maynard, Lambeth (Purple) 0 This, and indeed the whole of the heats, were started upwards—the distance extending from Putney to Ham mersmith-bridge. In this heat stripe and black were the favourites; but so evenly had the committee paired the' whole of the men, that few were willing to back their opinion as to which would be placed in the heat. A finer start was never witnessed. They were altogether in a line for a few seconds. Stripe thyn took the lead, followed by red, and white and rt d, who were oar and oar for a few more seconds, purple, who were hampered immediately alter the start by a barge in their course, bringing up the rear. Off Messrs. Searle's stripe had drawn their length clear—continued to gain the whole distance, and came in ahead by four or five lengths. For some distance it was difficult to say which would have,the second place; but on nearing the Crab Tree, after a most gallant struggle, red began to show well as second; and then a fresh race ensued between red and white and black for the third place, which was ultimately determined in favour of red. - Second Heat. Robert Doubledee, Lambeth, and Henry Finer, Whitehall Thomas Mackenney, Richmond, and Henry Shelton, Lambeth (Green) 2 Robert Coombes, Vauxhall Bridge, and James Kip ping, Hungerford (Pink) 0 Thomas Cola, Chelsea, and James Maynard, Lam beth Joseph Leach, Lambeth, and Henry Green, Vauxhall, (Blue and White) 0 Another fine heat, but in which one of the expected winners was thrown out. All started capitally, but in the next moment Coombos had to ease or row his part ner, who looked out of condition, into a barge. Not withstanding this they immediately afterwards drew a head, and were half a boat in advance at the Star and Garter, but were unable to keep it. After passing Searle's a splendid race occurred between them and yel low and black, which terminated in the latter going a head off the Vice-Chancellor's. Green then came up to the second pair, and another gallant race followed, which ended in pink falling into the third place near the Crab Tree. Won by a length and a half. presentative ought to hear the argument's on both sides before he ventured upon a vote: Mr. HENRY KNIGHT then moved a resolution to the effect that Sir Charles Napier's political opinions ren dered him a fit and proper person to represent the bo rough of Lambeth in Parliament.—(Cheers and his.os.) Mr. EvANs having seconded the motion, Mr. T. B. BARKER moved as an amendment, " That the late period a Admiral Napier's appearance in the field at the present election considerably endangered the Liberal interests, without any probable chance of SIM-, •cess."—(Loud groans, cheers, and great uproar.) The appearance of Sir Charles Napier endangered the Liberal cause, and the consequence might be that a Conservative would be foisted on the electors of the Liberal borough of Lambeth.—(Uproar.) Mr. GEDYE seconded the amendment, which was at tempted to be supported by Mr. TIIWAITES. That gen tleman braved a storm of opposition which is inde.cri bable for upwards of half au hour, insisting on his right to be heard. In vain did the chairman and other gen tlernen.essay to secure him a hearing, and - at length Mr. Thwaites retired 'with a declaration that the meeting_ was packed, and refuted to hear the truth. 7.:*e amendment was then put, and was hailed with loud applause by Mr. Williams' party. On the other hand, the original motion was greeted with iqually loud plaudits by Admiral Napier's friends. After a show of hands, the resolution was declared to be carried. Sir C. NA PIER, in returning thanks, said that, although he had been charged with opposing the Government in order to secure himself a berth, he had been offered and had refused the Commander-in Chiefship of fhe Irish 'station. He thanked the meeting for his rec e pti on . H e was determined to go to the poll, and that day had paid his " shot" towards the expenses.-:-(Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro ceedings. Meetings were also simultaneously held of the friends of Mr. Williams at the Swan Tavern, Stockwell,-and of those of Mr. Palmer at the Rosemary Branch Tavern, Peckham, at both of which the usual resolutions were passed. PUBLIC DINNER TO MR. ROBERT STE PHENSON, 11f.P., AT NEWCASTLE. NzwcasTLE-orr-TYNE, WEDNESDAY. The friends and admirers of Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P., civil engineer, and eegineer of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick and other lines of railway, in order to mark their respect for his high talents and unblemished character, determined upon entertaining him at a public dinner in the new railway station, in Neville•street, Newcastle. The entertainment took place last night, and was attended by about 400 of the inhabitants of the town and adjoining neighbourhood, besides several gentlemen of scientific eminence, on their way to the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in Edinburgh. The Hon. H. T. Liddell presided, having Mr. Stephenson on his right; and the vice-chairs were filled by the Mayor of Newcastle and the Mayor of Gateshead. A portion of the immense area of the station was partitioned off by means of a skeleton framing of wood covered with canvass and lined with calico, and on the side next the chairman three large cartoons, painted for the occasion by local artists, were displayed, repre senting the High Level Bridge over the Tyne, the Meuai Bridge, and the viaduct over the Tweed, at Ber wick. There were nine tables ranged longitudinally, with an elevated cross table for the principal speakers. The dinner was got up in a splendid style, and reflected great credit on Mr. Haigh, of the Assembly-rooms, by whom it was provided. . . After the cloth had been withdrawn, the usual loyal and constitutional toasts were given and warmly received, after vvhich— The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the even- ing, and was received with ati enthusiastic burst of ap plause, which continued for several minutes. In the course of his speech Mr. Liddell thus enumerated the manifold labours in which their guest had been engaged: —I have here, gentlemen, a list of the various main lines and the various branches of the main lines in which my Honourable Friend has been engaged; and I will begin by stating that in certain unconnected lines he has laid down an extent of no less than one hundred and thirty-six miles of iron railway; in the Eastern Counties and branches, amounting to twelve, he has laid down two hundred and ninety-six miles; in the London and North-Western lines, and in their branches, three hun dred and seventy-seven miles; in the Midland line, the Birmingham and Derby, and the branches connected therewith, three hundred and two miles ; in the North Staffordshire one hundred and forty-eight miles; in the South-Eastern lines twenty-five miles; the Whitehaven and Furness Railways sixty-nine miles; the Steckton and Darlington and the Northern Counties, two hundred and fifteen miles; the York and North Midland, two hun dred and twenty miles of railway—making an aggregate of one thousand seven hundred and ninety miles of rail way. Then he is connected with the Florence and Leg horn Railway, amounting to sixty miles, making, in all, one thousand eight hundred and fifty miles of railway.— (Applause.) But, gentlemen, is that all? He has con nected, by his personal exertions, and the genius that distinguishes his name, as I have already remarked, the German Ocean and the Irish Sea.—(Applaus.e.) He has bound together, with an iron band, the kingdoms of England and Sootland, which, from the days of Queen Anne, have been connected by the legislative union ; and the legislative union between great Britain and Ireland is now so complete, that it seems admitted by the Houses of Legislature that there is no longer any necessity for a separate Government for Ireland, and the main reason given by the Administration for the abolition of the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, is the rapidity and certainty and constancy of the communication by railway that has now been established. Gentlemen, I need hardly remind you that works of this description lose in magnitude, lose in the estimate we ought to have of them, by the very fact of their existence ; for a few years ago it would have been deemed impossible to accomplish tbat which we see now daily carried on before our eyes, and we begin to think there is nothing extra ordinary in their existence. Let me call your attention to the three great features of his career which have been so ably delineited by the hands of your excellent towns men, and appropriately placed in this room in comme moration of the achievements of Mr. Stephenson. May I not say that the author of works like those has far transcended all former architects, whether of Greek or Roman fame? The Roman satirist, in a tone of iron ical incredulity, exclaimed— " Credimus olim Veleficatus Athos, et quicquid Grmc, , ia mendax Audet in historic, substratum classibus isdem Suppositumque rotis solid= mare." But, in this day, I must correct the sne©r and sarcasm of that celebrated writer. I say, when we sea these wonders accomplished, we are no longer astonished that the Persian invader, with the amount of human labour at his disposal, should have conveyed over the heights of Athos the beams which he hewed in the forests of Anatolia, to construct the floating bridge over the Hellespont. That bridge sinks to nothing in comparison with the gigantic structure which now spans the estuary of the Irish Sea. We have seen this great bridge founded and completed—not a bridge of boats, which the first hurricane might scatter, but a bridge of solid masonry and tubular iron—a struc ture before unheard of and unthought of.—(Cheers.) And that was raised by the genius of Stephenson. We have seen the kingdom of England and Scotland united, the border which for ages had been separated being spanned by that beautiful structure which is now pre sented in effigy before us.—(Loud applause.) And lastly, we have seen the two counties in this neighbour. hood connected by a structure over the river Tyne, at a level which a very few years ago any man would have been deemed a madman that should have proposed to adopt. We have seen all these works executed by our honoured guest of this day. The Hon. Gentle man concluded by proposing, with all the honours duo to the name and due to his services, the health of Mr. Robert Stephenson.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON, M.P., after expressing his gratification at the acknowledgment of his services he was then receiving, gave a retrospect of the last few years :—lt is but a brief period since 1 was en gaged as an assistant in tracing the line of the Dar lington and Stockton Railway. The Liverpool and Manchester, and the Liverpool and Bir mingham, and a hundred other great works have sprung into vigorous existence so suddenly, so promptly, so inconceivably quick, that it appears to be realising the fable of the magician's wand. Hills have been cut down, valleys filled up, where they have been small ; and where more extensive works have been re quired, the mountain has been pierced, the river spanned, or a viaduct has been formed. Those works lie scattered over the surface of the country, bearing incontestable testimony to the indomitable industry and unrivalled skill of our artisans.—(Applause.) In referring to these railway works, I must not omit altogether the rapid advance the locomotive engine has made within that period. They are, as every one in this room will readily understand, necessary to each other. The locomotive engine independent of the railway would be a useless machine; the railway would be comparatively useless also without the locomotive. They have gone on together, and now realise all the expectations that were ever formed respectieg them.—(Applause.) I should state upon this occasion—it would be un seemly as it would be unjust were I to conceal from you a weighty circumstance connected with every profes sional man's life—that no engineer can proceed without having men about him as highly gifted as himself.— (Applause.) These men I have been surrounded with now for many years, and although I may have from time to time added my mite, yet it is to their co-operation my success is owing. In this imme diate neighbourhood eqaecially I feel it my duty to call your attention to a gentleman with whom I have been associated in carrying out ,the works—Mr. Thomas Harrison—(Loud applause)—a name which I shall have another opportunity of referring to this evening. But I will not detain you longer. I can only thank you, and I rely upon the sympathy of every heart in this room when I say that the feelings of my own aro very inade quately expressed by my tongue.—(Continued cheering.) [Later in the evening, in proposing the health of the chairman, Mr. Stephenson made known to whom the world was indebeted for the elder Stephenson's first locomotive experiments.] There was a fact connected with the proceedings of the day which he was anxious to make known. It was through the patronage of the / y /' ~J- Nt6le Lord the father of the present chairman that his I(Mr. Stephenson's) lete revered father was enabled to make his Srst locomotive experiments.—(Applause.) When he received notice of the honour proposed to be conferred upon him, the greatest pleasure to him con nected with the proposal W3S, that the Hon. Mr. Liddell was to preside.—(Applause.) It reminded him of the days when he served his apprenticeship under Mr. Wood, at • Killingwortli, and of a period he could not look back upon without deep interest—when his father was em ployed from day to day, and from week to week, strug gling with difficulty in perfecting the locomotive engine. —(Applause.) To Lord Raveneworth .was due the high honour of having supported the first. experiments that led to the perfection of the locomotive, and there fore he proposed the health of his son, the Honourable Chairman, with three times three. -The toast was drank with most enthusiastic cheering. Mr. LEMAN, in returning thanks to a toast in honour of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, An nounced that her Majesty and Prince Albert would be present at the formal opening of the bridge. He would read a letter he had received from the Earl of Carlisle, which would put the question beyond all doubt:— , 6 ' My dear L emurs ,—lf you have act already been Bp ' prisrel, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen arid Prince Albert will open the Berwick Railway on the 29th of August. They will set off from Castle Howard that morning, and will sleep in Edinburgh. I shall rely upon your making all the railway arrangements as conveniently as possible. "Yours very truly, "July 29, 1850." " CARLISLE. The health of the Indies Ra 3 the last toast of tho evening, after drinking which the company separated. OPENING OF THE — GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The following notice has been issued by Mr. J. R. Mowatt, Secretary to the Great Northern Railway Com pany:— - The 791- miles of this railway from the London sta tion atlialden- lane, King's-cross, to the point of junction with the `• loop" line at Werrington, north of Peter• borough, will be open for public traffic on Wednesday, 7th inst. Passenger trains will run on and from that day. There will thus be, by the Great Northern Rail way, a continuous route to and from London by Peter borough, through Lincolnshire, by Doncaster, York shire, the north of England, and Scotland. The " Time Table," with particulars of trains, will be duly pub lished. Grand H e at. Robert Newell and Thomas Goodrum (Stripe) 1 Thomas Mackenney and Henry Skelton .....(Green) 2 R. Doubledee and H. Piner (Yellow and Black) 0 Charles Campbell and Henry Campbell (Red) 0 There was a dashing start, immediately after which yellow and black made capital play for a few seconds; stripes, who hardly appeared to have at first got so well to work as the others, challenged them off the Star and Garter, and rowed gallantly in advance. Yellow and black made some determined efforts to overhaul them, instead of which they found themselves very closely waited upon by green, who, after a sharp spurt, took the second place, off the 'Ugh Bridge or just about it. The winners maintained their lead, and came in first about five lergr,hs. There was nearly the same distance be tween use second and third. Yellow and black had, be fore the heat was started, divided the sporting interest with the winners, each party being backed by their ad mirers to some extent. The award of to-day was a purse of sovereigns, priz es b e i ng g i ven t o th e w h o l e of those in the grand host according to their position. LAMBETH ELECTION. Last night a number of electors met Sir Charles Napier, at the Horns Tavern, Kennington. Long before the hour appointed (seven o'clock) the large assembly room was densely crowded. Captain M'Dougal, R.N., was called to the chair. Sir CHARLES NAPIER said that many present no doubt were surprised that he should presume to offer himself to represent so large and important a borough. He was perfectly unknown, and was an entire stranger in the ordinary sense of the term; but he believed that a British sailor was never regarded as a stranger in England, or in any part of the globe which was washed by the sea, or where the British thunder had ever been heard. lie had sailed in all parts of the world in the cause of his country, and often had he had to contend with superior numbers, particularly in Portugal and Syria, and he was told he should have to contend with superior numbers in Lambeth, but with a good crew he had not the smallest doubt he should follow them up triumphantly. Many other persons thought that a naval officer had no business to think of a seat in Parliament, but he submitted that when ashore, and at peace, a sailor was as much a citizen as any other of her Majesty's subjects.—(Hear, hear.) Besides, as oue-third of the public expenditure went to that branch of the public service, there ought to be in Parliament naval men who, independent of any Govern ment, could watch and control their wasteful extrava gance iu that service.—(Applause.) As to that waste, his opinions had not only been expressed in Parliament, when Member for Marylebone, but since in his published letters.—(Elear.) He had foretold the Board of Admi ralty they were pursuing an erroneous course, and his prognostications had proved to be correct, for of thirty steam-ships they had built, the experiments made in the last few days proved that they were perfectly and totally unfit for war service. Hence it was important that naval men should be present in Parliament. During the five or six years he had represented Marylebone he had voted according to the best of his judgment —no man had paid snore attention or had been present at more division.. It might be asked why he had not remained at Marylebone—hie answer was, that at the close of the list session he was appointed to command a squa dron, and was told he would be required to go to Lis bon for three years. He had previously informed his then constituents that if required to be more than four or five months from England he would place his seat at their disposal, and, in obedience to his pro mise, he had kept it, though it since appeared he was not wanted at Lisbon, and this was, perhaps, a conve nient mode by which the Government got him out of the House. Sir C. Napier then recapitulated his votes in Parliament in favour of the ballot and for an extension of the suffrage, though on this point he did not go to the extent of some of his friends. He defended the policy of the Duke of Wellington, as to the necessity of maintain ing the defences of the country, and instanced the state ment of Lord Ellenborough in the Upper House to show its essentiality, when Russia had now a fleet of 30 to 40 sail of the line in the Baltic, while the British force was truly insignificant. A true saving to be effected was in the dockyards, where the expenditure had been at once lavish and useless. After some further general remarks, the Hon. and Gallant Admiral expressed his readiness to answer any questions that might be put to him in a straightforward manner. Mr. E. EDWARDS rose, and was proceeding to address the meeting in a loug speech, but was met by loud crisp of " Down, question." Eventually ho asked whether the Gallant Admiral had not entered into the rebel ser vice of the Queen of Portugal without the permission of his own Sovereign.—(ob, oh.) Sir C. NAPIER replied that he went to restore a young Queen to her throne, for which he was scratched out of the British service. He looked on that as the proudest period of his life. In answer to Mr. Hayman, Sir C. NAPIER said he would not pledge himself to vote for any measure to put clown Sunday trading ; th a t wou ld b est be effected by masters paying their men on Friday night.—(Hear, hear.) No man could b e ma d e religious by Act of Par liament. In answer to a series of other questions put by Mr. F. Doulton, Mr. Dyso n , M r. A l d er, and other members of M . r. Williams's committee, Sir CHARLES NAPIER declared himself, on the subject of flogging in the army and navy, that at present he was not p repare d to surrender t h e power of inflicting the punishment. In reply to another query, he pledged himself, if ordered to a naval com mand, to surrender at once the trust of a representa tive to his constituents ; and to a further inquiry he distinctly refused to give his adhesion to the points comprised in that which was designated the " People's Charter." He would join in shortening the duration of Parliaments, but was not prepared to support a proposition fur a severance between the Church and State, nor for any int er f e r e nce with the Established Church in Ireland.—(llisses, groans, and cheers.) On the question of the abolition of the taxes on it know ledge he w as no t p re p are d to g i ve a reply; and would be no use sending him to Parliament if he was now called upon to decide on matters with reference to which a re- COURT OF ALDERMEN. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon a court was held for the dispatch of the remainder of the business upon the notice-paper, prior to the usual vacation. The. Sheriffs having notified to the Court that G. E. Hodgkinson, Esq., citizen and spectacle-maker, bad been returned by the Livery as sheriff for the ensuing Sear, by a majority of 420 over Cbarles S. Butler, Esq., that gen tleman was subsequently called forward to take the oath usually administered upon such occasions, and to give the requisite securities. Some other business, of no public importance, was then transacted, and the Court adjourned sine die. THE COLLISION. ON THE EDIN BURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY. (From the Glasgow Daily Mail of Thursday.) We regret to announce the occurrence this morning of a deplorable casualty on the Edinburgh and Glasgow line of railway, by which a serious loss of life has been caused, and many parties have sustained severe, if not irrevocable injuries. The dit‘aster took place shortly before eleven o'clock, about a quarter of a mile beyond the Cowlairs station. The particulars, so far as wo have been able to collect them from the accounts of passengers and other sources, are as follows: A pleasure train left Perth in the morning. From its length it was deemed advioable 'to divide it into several parts. The first portion arrived at the Cowlairs station almost immediately after the Edinburgh train, which was then stationed there, and getting ready fur entering the tunnel. The Edinburgh train contained forty-ono car riages, and there were twenty•seven in the Perth one. Following close after was the Scottish Central ordinary train. Such was the number of passengers carried by the in termediate train, that several cattle trucks had been at tached to it; and in them a good many found accommo dation. They brought up the rear. They had not been at Cowlairs—where, as is well known, a stoppage inva riably takes _place—more than five minutes, when the succeeding train came up, and a fearful collision ensued. Neither the guard nor firemen had taken the precau tion to send back signals that they were in the way. On the other hand, the parties in charge of the ap proaching train, though there does exist a curve in the line a little beyond Cowlairs, which would notes• sarily prevent them from observing that the passage was not clear till they were almost close on the obstruction, must have been aware that they were but a little dis tance behind, as the two trains had lett Greenhill Junc tion nearly together, and they had kept sight of the pre ceding one the whole way onwards. The collision was a most violent one. Scarcely any of the hundreds of passengers have escaped unhurt, though, fortunately, the bruises of most are comparatively slight. It is not so, however, we regret, with all. Three per sons were killed on the spot. They had places in the cattle truck, which, as already mentioned, was the last of the train; and such had been the force of the concus sion, that the tender of the one by which it was run into was tilted up so as to be half into it—the wheels resting upon it with their full weight. Beneath them one man was crushed to death. Two females also lay dead beside him. Had there been regular carriages at the rear of the train, the accident would have been very trifling, as the buffers would have effectually repelled the concus sion. As it is, however, it is fortunate that the tender was lifted up in the manner described, as it acted in the manner of a wedge, and contributed thereby to break the force of the collision. Two of the directors happened to be in the Edinburgh train. Tbey immediately got out and took the direction of the plans suggested for the relief of the sufferers. Mr. Thomson, from the office of the company, also repaired to the spot so soon as news of the occurrence reached town, and medical aid was forthwith procured. The parties most injured were conveyed to the cot tages adjoining, where the nature of their injuries were examined. They were sent to the Infirmary as soon after as possible. Sheriff Bell, and other official parties, also visited the spot; and, after investigating the circumstances, directed that the drivers of both trains should be apprehended. We append a list of the parties killed, and of those who have been most seriously injured. The number is greatly less than was originally reported. Report by the medical pentiernen employed by the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway Company of the persona injured on their line, on the morning of Thursday, Ist August, 1850. William Whitehead, farmer, near Dunblane—severe but not serious bruise from right shoulder to thigh. Mrs. M'Kenzie, from Methven, aunt of Mr. M'Ara, of Glasgow—severe bruises on head and face, and inter nal injuries. Matthew Lennox, from Cullen, brother to the deceased Jean Lennox—fractured rib and other bruises. Mrs. Kinross, Hungry-hill, Dunblane—Right hand bruised, and several tf-eth knocked out. Mrs. M'Ewen, from Comrie—Eye cut and hand bruised. Catherine Drummond or Macgregor, from Comrie— Concussion of brain. Mrs. Jessie Middleton, Kenbnek—Bruises on face and limbs. Also her infant child—Severe bruises on head; since dead. William Aitken, baker, Bannockburn—Cuts in face, and dislocation of right hip joint. Peter Campbell, labourer, Aucharn, near Kinmore— Severe cut in right leg, and other injuries. Dead—Janet M'Arthur, Dunblane ; Jean Lennox, Cullen!, near Dunblane ; Johu Morrison, overseer at Kippen-cross. Another account states that the number of persons killed on the spot was six.
