The de mend for common Cinnamon was duller than has been the case for many years ; the supply being greater and prices lower. FRUIT.—Of new Chesme Raisins, the first cargo arrived there is no disposition to purchase, the prices required being considered too high in proportion to the value of new Valen cies, the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great propor tion already arrived being much out of condition, have been forced off at public sale from 38s to 395.

SlR,—The rate-payers of this small, but, unfortunately, no torious borough, have nobly done their duty. In consequence of the treatment of Mr. Westlake, the medical officer to the union, who has been suspended by the board of guardians for having manfully exposed the malpractices carried on in the union poor-house, the electors of Andover determined no ex ertions on their part should be wanting to ensure his return as a member of the town council. The Tories stoutly opposed such a noble and praiseworthy resolution, and used every effort, both fair and otherwise, to frustrate this much desired object, but ineffectually, as the following state of the poll will exemplify : LIBERALS. TORIES. F. C. Westlake, Esq., Mr. Thomas Lamp 129 surgeon to the union 118 Mr. T. Phillips 125 Mr. George Young ... 101 Mr. John Poore Mr. James Baker.— 87 Mr. T. P. Clarke 4l Mr. William Gilbert... 104 410 It will now clearly be seen that the town of Andover has not deserved the vile reproach which the published pro ceedings of the late inquiry would seem to have fixed upon them. With the management of the union they have no control, being represented by five guardians only (and these, to their credit, always advocating the just rights of the poor), whilst they are opposed almost uniformly by about twenty-six guardians of the rural parishes, who, in confor mity to the Chandos clause, vote as their head may dictate.

RAILWAY BUSINESS. —Mr. Simon Kendall, 11, Clement's Inn, solicitor, and Mr. Lenox Home, 78, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, the registered projectors of the Important Economic Railway Traction by the Leviathan Air-engine, intended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe Junction Railway Company, for completing a direct communication between Bristol and Liverpool, appeared upon a summons before Mr. Hall, to answer a complaint preferred against them by Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P., for that they, on the 27th October, did make a certain false pretence, knowing the same to be false, in an advertisement printed and published in a circular, purporting to be a prospectus of the project in question, which said pretence was, that the said Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P., by the nameand descrip tion of C. B. Baldwin, Esq, M.P., of Parliament-street, was one of the Provisional Committee of the said Company; to which they pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Bevin, a solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Clarkson on the part of the defendants. Mr. Bevin observed, that as the charge was, in substance, the same against each of the defendants, he would commence the inquiry by examining the complainant. Mr. Clarkson said that as the question went to affect the character of each of the gentlemen he represented, he would offer no technical objections to anything that was about to be offered. The printed prospectus of the Company was put in and admitted. Mr. Baldwin being sworn, said that on the 23 October the prospectus produced was sent to him, at his house in Par liament-street, in which his name appeared as one of the Provisional Committee of the Leviathan Air-engine, and be had never authorised any person to connect his name with any:project of the kind. He was first apprised of the cir cumstance by receiving the printed paper by the post. Mr Bevin submitted that he had offered quite sufficient proof to warrant the Court to adjudicate upn the case. Mr. Clarkson said it would be first necessary to show by evidence that the defendants had knowingly placed the com plainant's name upon the list without his authority. Mr. Bevin—That's for the defendants to show, and I ap prehend that sufficient has been proved by the complainant to induce the Court to inflict a fine of 10/. upon each of the defendants, as the complainant has stated that no authority had ever been granted on his part. Mr. Clarkson hoped that he would not be forced to enter into afruitless inquiry, for, admitting that there was sufficient proof that the name of the complainant was used without his knowledge, it should be borne in mind that there was none whatever to show that his name had been inserted by either of the defendants, or by their authority, as would appear from the letter he held in his hand. Mr. Baldwin having a lookecl over the letter, said that it con tained no authority from him. Mr. HALL considered it would be necessary on the part of the complainant to prove by whose direction the issue and getting up of the prospectus in question had been established. Mr. Bevin w as o f a diff eren t o pinion, the person who had printed the document was present, and might be exa mined. Mr. Clarkson admitted that certain proof might be given by the printer, and although it might be shown that the pros pectus was actually sent f. om the chambers of the Company, there was nothing to fix the charge upon the defendants. He would, however, beg to ask the complainant a few questions. The complainant, in cross-examination, said he did not know how many provisional committees his name was upon. He should think not as many as thirty or forty, but there might be as many as ten. He begged to be allowed to say that he had always encouraged railways in Ireland, for which purpose he had given his name to about ten. There were also someforeign ones, about thirty in France, and in En g l an d ten altogether ; as far as his recollection would serve him twelve at the utmost. He had seen a Dr. M ' K enz i e b ut once,, from whom he received a letter, on the 4th of October, from his residence, at 68, Mortimer -street, inviting him to have his name inserted on the list of the provisional committee, as he had been connected with various railway companies, to which he returned an answer. _ Mr. Clarkson—l see, by the newspaper accounts, that when you applied for a summons you represented that you bad repeatedly written to the defendants to remove your name without effect—is it true? Complainant—l did not lay so, but I certainly wrote to others that I did not wish my name to appear, as I-was about to go abroad. . t Mr. Olarkson said that it was a pity the inquiry had gone to such a length, as he had the honour to call the complain ant his friend, having known him from early life, and it was an unpleasant affair that he had not kept copies of the let ters which he had written to the defendants, which would show rashness on the part of a person who held a promi nent position in society, as every person allowing his name to be placed on the provisional committee list ought to know something about the concern before ho permitted it. It ap peared that a Dr. M'Kenzie was deeply interested in the undertaking in question, and being called upon to pay his quota, he gave a cheque for the amount, which turned out to be of no value, which caused him to leave the company in a huff; and he apprehended that any person connected with such a man ought to pause before he was induced to take the present proceedings against the defendants. This person wrote to the complainant, reminding him that having served on various railway committees with him, he had taken the liberty of submitting to him a railway project with which he was concerned, and which would obtain extensive Par liamentary influence, and hoping that the complainant would allow his name to be placed on the provisional committee. Another letter was sent to the defendant (Reu dall) on October 13, by the same person, inclosing the names of the committee, among whom was that of the complainant, although on the previous day he had written to the same :purpose, while Mr. Bevin was instructed to say that such a thing bad never been sanctioned, and be should like to know on what grounds a charge of fraud had been brought against the defendants under such extraordinary cir cumstances, unless for the maudlin propensity to cry down every project of ,the kind because some we r e f oun d t o b e faulty. The letter from the complainant to M'Kenzie stated, that had he not been confined to his bed his letter of applica tion should not have remained unanswered one hour, and ex pressed his regret that any circumstance should deprive him of the benefit of such an undertaking. Mr. Baldwin begged to make a remark in explanation. Mr. Clarkson said he had no objection, although he had already given his evidence. Mr. Baldwin said that the project which be understood he was to lend his name to was the. Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe, instead of the Leviathan Air-engine. Mr. Clarkson considered that such a paltry subterfuge was no excuse, for the complainant must have known that, M'Kenzie was no longer a member of the committee, and he repeated that there was no truth in his having written to the defendants to discontinue his name. Mr. HALL observed that the prospectus had been sent ten days previous, and before a conviction could take place under the Act, it must be proved that the defendants had acted falsely, an expression which was repeatedly used in it, and that such had;beenknowingly practised by the defendants. Mr. Clarkson said that the complainant should have made inquiries into the character of the defendants, or pro duced M'Kenzie before he adopted such proceedings against them. Mr. HALL said that the question was not had M'Kenzie abused the confidence of the complainant, but did the de fendants make use of his name against his consent; and sup posing that M'Kenzie had acted ill, had the defendants, on that account, any grounds for holding up the name of the complainant to the public, who were, as a matter of course, anxious to obtain the names of persons of high respectabi lity! It was very clear that c.n the 4th M'Kenzie wrote to the complainant, and on the 12th received an answer, that, if not too late, be might then enter his name on the list. The question then was, did the complainant give his sanc tion, and he thought that he did, for M'Kenzie handed in the paper containing other names with that of the com plainant to the defendants, which precluded them from the possibility of acting knowingly, and ought not to render them liable to the penalty. It would certainly have been more prudent to have had a letter from the complainant him self, although there could be no proof of the handwriting, unless he had recourse to it for the purpose of obtaining a conviction. Mr. Clarkson applied for costs, which were refused, and Mr. HAu, in dismissing the case, said that he was satis • fled the complainant was not sufficiently in possession of the case before he adopted the proceedings, and therefore could not be actuated by any wanton feelings towards the de fendants, whose characters he was happy to sad• remained untouched. WORSHIP-STREET. ABO3IIMABLE PROFLIGACY. —CharIes Carter, a hairdresser and perfumer, in Church-street, Hackney, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for re-examination, and was com mitted for trial on a capital charge of committing a nameless crime. SOUTH WARK. Henry Killerby, an apprentice to Mr. Lewis, printer, of Finch-lane, in the City, who has been out on bail, charged on suspicion with sending threatening letters, some of them containing poison, to several of the inhabitants of St. George's, Southwark, appeared in discharge of his sureties to answer the alleged offence. It will be recollected that in the early part of last month an application was made at this Court by the householders of St. George's parish, Southwark, relative to several anonymous letters, some of them containing oxalic acrd, having been received by some of the parishioners. The letter were couched in language of the most threatening nature. A communication of a similar tendency had been transmitted by the same writer to the parish clerk of St. George's Church, urging him to give utterance to certain slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs during divine service, and threatening to set fire to the edifice if he did not comply. These infamous epistles naturally created a very considerable sensation in the parish, and eventually the prisoner Killerby, a youth, the son of a tradesman in White-street, near St. George's church, was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer, When brought before Mr. Cottmgham on that occasion, the pri soner's writing was compared with that of the anonymous letters, and although there was a similarity, still there was no person in attendance who could speak with confidence to the identity. In the course of the examination it trans pired that the accused was in the habit of attending in the belfry, and assisting in the ringing of the bells, and that while speaking to one of the men on the subject of the a►.o nymous letter received by the parish clerk, he (the prisoner) gave utterance to language which would lead to the supposi tion that he was well acquainted with the writer, and he re quested the party with whom he held the conversation not to mention the circumstance to any person. After the exami nation of numerous witnesses, the accused simply giving a denial to the charge, Mr. Cottingham remanded him for a month on bail. When the prisoner was placed at the bar yesterday, Mr. CormaitAsi, addressing Sergeant Kendall, of the A division, asked whether any further discovery had been made ? The sergeant replied in the affirmative, and said that the foreman of the prisoner's employer was in attendance, and that he was in a condition to distinguish his hand-writing with tolerable accuracy. Mr. CorrmanAm then directed the annonymous letters ad dressed to Miss Spriggs, Mr. Humble, and Mr. Bowling, to be handed to the witness, in order to ascertain if he could speak with any degree of certainty as to the handwriting being that of the prisoner. The witness, whose name is Edward John Tyrrell, and who is foreman to Mr. Lewis, of Finch-lane, printer, having carefully examined the letters placed in his hands, stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief they were in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. COTTINGHAIiI having informed the witness of the seri ous nature of the charge against the accused, then questioned him as to the peculiar characteristics by which he was en abled to speak with tolerable confidence as to the hand writing. The — witness then pointed out the _peculiar shape of the letters in the annonymous letters, which bore such a striking similarity to the copy of a song recently written out by the prisoner, that induced witness to believe they were all written by one and the same person. Mr. Corrixcaum, addressing the prisoner's father, said that the case now assumed a more serious aspect than before against his son, and asked him if he had engaged any profes sional gentleman to appear on his behalf. The father said be was so convinced of his son's innocence, that he did not consider it necessary. The MAGISTRATE inquired if there was any similarity be tween the paper on which the anonymous letters were written and that to which the prisoner was supposed to have access at his employer's warehouse? The foreman replied in the affirmative, saying that pieces of paper, such as that on which the letters in question were written, were often lying about in the warehouse, to which the prisoner had constant access. Mr. CorriNGnam inquired if any more threatening letters had been sent to the same parties in the parish ? Sergeant Kendall replied that since the prisoner was taken into custody no letters of the description had been transmitted to any of the persons who had formerly received so many of them. The sergeant added, that a circumstance had re cently come to his knowledge, namely, that fur some time previously to the parishioners of St. George's, Southwark, receiving the letters inclosing poison, the prisoner was known to be in the habit of readii g "Jack Sheppard," and books of a similar description, and it would be found on perusing the anonymous communications, that they contained language of a similar kind. The foreman in Mr. Lewis's employ verified the truth of the sergeant's statement, and said that he had taken " Jack Sheppard" from the prisoner in his master's warehouse. 111 r. Corroicatax remarked that the foreman's evidence strengthened the suspicion against the prisoner, who was not bound to say anything in answer to the charge, but was at liberty to make any statement he pleased. The evidence against him, as it now stood, would render it necessary to send the case to a jury, but he should first remand the prisoner for a fortnight, and at the same time admit him to bail on finding two securities pf 501. each. The Magistrate advised the prisoner's father to employ some professional gentleman on behalf of his son at the next ex amination. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. /t. L. JONES, the Chairman df the Improvement Com mittee, brought up a report of the Committee appointed to consider the best means of carrying into effect the resolution of tht Court for appropriating the sum of 20,0001. annually for public purposes, which stated that haring taken the re ference into their consideration, and had before them various plans for the improvement of the City of Loudon, they pro ceeded to consider the subject, and finding it was necessary that the notices for an application to Parliament, to be passed in the next session, must be given in the month of November next, they thought it desirable that some improvement should be carried into effect in the next year, and they had selected two plans which they considered would be great improvements, and beneficial to the inhabitants of the.city of London—one for forming a street from the south end of Water-lane, now called Blackfriars-street, and the other in the Old Bailey, from the south side of the New Inn to the south side of Prujean-square ; and they recommended that they should be empowered to give the necessary notices of an application to Parliament for an Act to carry the same into effect. COURT OF COMMON covw Yesterday a Court was held for the - the subject of the introduction -# street. It was nuW'' hours a scene of A- Mr. JoNas observed that these two projects would operate most advantageously. The first would, by the opening-to the transit of carriages, afford great relief to Ludgate-hill, and would be formed upon part of the site cf the Fleet Prison. Th e second would, although of small dimrnsims, be prod uctive of much public convenience, as it was well kn own the traffic from the wharfs in the neighbourhood of the gas-works seri ously interfered with the transit through Fleet-street and its vicinity. A long discussion took place upon the merits of the recom mendation of the report, some members arguing that there existed a more pressing necessity for widening narrow old streets than for making new ones, and others insisting that the large improvements suggested by the objectors would cost an enormous sum of money, while the improvement to which the report referred could be effected without any con siderable outlay, and would be the most judicious precursors of the extensive changes which must rapidly take place. The report was ultimately agreed to by a vast majority. - RAILWAYS IN FARRINGDON-STREET. Mr. R. L. JONES said that, he had never upon any occa sion within his recollection brought up a report of greater importance to the city of London than that which he had to present to the Court upon the present occasion. The committee had most strictly investigated the subject of the introduction of railways into Farringdon-street, as suggested by the petitions which had been presented at a former Court, and they came to the opinion that there was no part of the city so well adapted for a great terminus as Farringdon street. The great breadth of the street, and the palpable ne cessity for the removal of the miserable and filthy habita tions in the vicinity, including Field-lane, Saffron-hill, and the adjacent courts and alleys, in which disease was engen dered, independently of the advantages derivable in a great many ways from changing the face of the locality, were un deniable arguments in favour of the plan of favouring the reception of railways there.—(Hear, hear.) The following report was then read by the clerk of the court " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Com mons, in Common Council assembled. " We whose names are hereunto subscribed, your commit.. tee appointed on the 9th day of October inst., to consider the best means of carrying into effect the resolution of this hon. Court of the 25th day of September last, for appropriating the sum of 20,0001. annually for public purposes and improve ments, to whom, on the 9th inst. it was referred, to examine the allegitions in the petition of the directors of the Direct London and Manchester Railway Company for leave to purchase Farringdon-market for a great central terminus, and also to examine the allegations on the petition of the Birmingham Railway Company for leave to purchase the north side of the site of the late Fleot Prison, with other premises, for the purpose of a city terminus, and to report our opinion thereon, do certify that we have proceeded in the due consideration of both references, and were attended by Mr. Dillon, the chairman, with Messrs. Deacon, Wells, and Shepperson, directors of the Direct London and Man chester Railway Company ' accompanied by Mr. Rastrick, their engineer, wh en M r . Dillon fully explained the views and wishes of the petitioners, and Mr. Rastrick submitted plans and sections of the intended railway, and was beard at con siderable length in explanation of the same; and more parti cularly that part which affected this city, by which it ap peared that the Company proposed to take the entire side of Farringdon-market and all the adjoining houses and buildings extending from Harp-alley to Holborn-hill, north and south, and from Farringdon-street to Shoe-lane, east and west, and to form a viaduct from Holborn-hill to Skinner -street. That we were attended ;by Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, and Mr. Creed, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Mordigan, on behalf of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, when Mr. Stephenson was heard in support of their petition, and sub mitted a plan and section of the proposed line of railway, and particularly showing the portion of ground they were desirous of obtaining within this city, by which it appeared the said company contemplated purchasing an area of about five acres, situate between Skinner-street, the Old Bailey, and Farringdon-street, including a portion of the site of the late Fleet Prison ; that their object was to form two levels, the lower to be approached by a tunnel from Camden-t,,wn, so as not to interfere with any of the streets and houses, except those immediately connected with their proposed site, and the upper level to be approached through Skinner -street and the Old Bailey, and any new street that might be formed in that neighbourhood. " That we, your Committee, after carefully inspecting the several plans, and considering the statements of the respec tive parties, with all the circumstances connected with this important subject, are of opinion that it is desirable both for the prosperity and advantage of the citizens of London to have railway termini within this city, that the sites pro posed to be purchased by both companies are desirable, as they interfere but in a small degree with the public streets within the city, and that the plans will afford gr ea t accom modation to th e traffic passing east and west. "All which we submit to the judgment of this Hon. Court. Dated this 23d day of October, 1843. " J. C. Prior, " R. L. Jones, " J. Dixon, " J. Johnson, Ald., " T. Challis, " NV. Stevens, " R. Taylor, " W. Christie, " H. Burn, " B. Bower, " B. Massey, " D. W. Wire, " J. Hartley, " D. Cook, "T. B. Simpson, "J. Britten." " J. G. Cope, Mr. R. L. Jortas moved that the report be agreed to and sent back to the Committee, to be carried into effect. The motion having been seconded, Deputy BEDFORD propose, as an amendment, that the report be referred back, with instructions to the Committee to take into consideration the petition of the tenants of Farringdon market, and also to consider the propriety of confining the termirus to the north side of Holborn-hill. He cau tioned the Court arrainst permitting such an outrage upon the population of the City as the terminus of the Blackwall Railway constituted, and expressed his decided opinion that very great disadvantages must arise from the intrusion of termini into Farringdon-street.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the amendment. After a long discussion, two other amendments were proposed, negativing the report, but the report was ultimately agreed to, with Mr. Wire's amendment as a rider. Dividend per Annum. FLANDERS MAIL.

FOOT RACE FOR Firry P o ns)Ds.—Yesterday the match between Patterson, of London, and Gimbert, of Bir mingham, came off at Boxtnoor. The race attracted a large number of the fancy, and in betting, Patterson was the fa. vourite. These men were matched to decide their race a fortnight since, and they met accordingly, but a dispute arising in reference to the ground being roped and staked, the affair terminated on th a t occas ion in a dispute, and at a subsequent meeting of th e p art i es , a n arrangement was made to settle the issue at the above place. The contested dis tance was 120 yards. Patterson took the lead at starting, which he maintained, Gimbert made an ineffectual struggle, and the contest was brought to a conclusion by Patterson running in the winner by a yard and a half.

If so, the matter will be brought before the general meeting on Friday next. LONDON AND NOTTINGHAM.—The shares in this company were allotted yesterday. Mr. Charles Hutton Gregory, the engineer, in a letter addressed to the committee, states that a careful examination of the country between Bedford and Nottingham has led to the adoption of a line affording fa vourable gradients.

For these purposes additional capital will be raised, the amount to be borrowed by the Company on mortgage or bond, as autho rised by th; Act of incorporation. GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.—EarIy on Monduy morn ing, notwithstanding the ground had been left in care of the police, a party of labourers filled up the sawpit the Rev. Mr. Formby had made, and the Company took possession of the spot by placing a sentry-box and man there, since which the chief contention has been a doorway in the wall bound ing Mr. Formby's premises, which the railway company bricked up ; this work the rev. gentleman partly de molished, when the • other party replaced the brickwork, and secured it by battening, and so it remains at present. On Wednesday Mr. Hayward, on the part of Mr. Formby, applied to the magistrates sitting at the Guildhall for sum monses against five of the railway labourers, on a charge of having grubbed the roots of the sycamore trees which had been previou.sly cut down, and they are accordingly sum moned to appear on Wednesday next. On Saturday Mr. Hayward again appeared at the Guildhall, and made an application to the magistrates for the police force, in order to enable Mr. Formby to regain possession of the disputed ground. To this request the magistrates refused to accede, Captain Baker observing that it was a case which the ma gistrates ought not to be called upon to interfere in, Mr. Formby having his remedy in an application to the Court of Chancery for an injunction.. The mayor said lie bad endeavoured to ascertain whether an amicable arrange ment might not be effected between the parties, but had not succeeded, and he expressed his willingness again to make the attempt. Mr. Hayward said his client had all along been anxious to avail himself of the intercession of other parties, in order that the matter might be amicably arranged.

Mackenzie and Brassey, and a party of guests whim they lid invited to be In esst.t on this interestiug occasion. About fifty assembled on Wstinemday evening at a, vee ' at the Or testis terminus at Paris, and were conveyed i n ihree hours to Orl- tips, where comfortable accommodation was provided for them to pass the night at the Hotel d'Orleass. The next morning after breakfast the guests set out at eight o'clock on the experimental trip in eight carriages. Amongst the per sons present were the Duke de Mouchy, the President of the Board of Directors ; Baron de Richemond, Viscount de Cussy, General Scheider, Messrs. Allcard and Buddi comb, M. Thoyat, engineer of the Pouts et Chaussees ; M. Jules Janin, Sec., besides a number of lathes. The whole distance to Tours was passed over in three hours and thirty-eight minutes. On the arrival of the train in the latter own, M. NValvem, the mayor, Ise. , in attendance to receive the traveller s , and invited them to a splendid dejeuner at the Hotel du Kasen. Mr Mackenzie occu pied the chair of honour, and was su pp orte d b y t h e D u k e d e Mouchy on the right, and General Schieder on the left. After the repast, the former proposed Mr. Mackenzie's health in very eulogistic terms, to which a suitable reply was given by that gentleman. At half-past two the train started from Tours on its return, and arrived at Orleans in three hours and ten minutes. -At six o'clock the guests left Orleans for Paris, where they arrived at nine o'clock, delighted with their day's excursion. The works of art are stated by the gentlemen capable of judging of such matters, who went in the experi mental train, as admirably executed. Of the stock f u r the traction, six locomotives are already in readiness ; others will be speedily delivered, and the remaining seven in the month of May. The whole of the permanent way is already dawn singly, and the other one will be very shortly completed. The line could be opened to the public in the course of three weeks, but the directors intend deferring the formal open ing until January 1, 1846. NEAPOLITAN LINES.—The company for these lines have just received the ratification of the concession, granted by the Government of the Two Cicilies. Not being able to im mediately undertake all the lines at the same time, it has determined to commence by the most productive one, that from Naples to the frontier of the States of the Church by Capua. Swiss LINE, CHUE, Ocr: 24.--The Provisional Committee consists of the following noblemen and gentlemen : Marquis Giustiniani. the chairman; L. B. Migoni, Rocca, and Sons; Bart. Barodi (these parties are from Genoa), Count Seyssel d'Ai x. Nigra and Sons, Barbaroux and Company (from Turin) ; Herr Von Rotta Vezoli from Milan, and Herr Cities from Chur. These gentlemen, who are of the most wealthy in the country, several of them having fortunes of nine millions or more, have already subscribed a sum of 16,4000 francs for preparatory operations. In a pecuniary view, the under taking offers to the public a full guarantee of its stability, t hough the carrying of it out may be somewhat more difficult. Several engineers of talent and character have asserted that the restoration of the road though the pass of the Luknian, which is the lowest of all the passes in Tessin, Bundten, or Tyrol, and is i nly 5,650 feet above the level of the sea, would be lees difficult than even that across Mot Cenis, through which the railway from Piedmont to Lyons is to pass. From time immemorial roads have been in use across the Lukman into Italy. It is said to have received its name, Mons Lucu manius, from the Lucumonians, the ancient inhabitants, who are said to have there held their religious feasts in honour of the sun. In 1374 John, third Abbot of Dissentis, founded a hospitiom in honour of the Virgin Mary at the top of the pass, 5,654 feet above the level of the sea; and four or five miles to the north lies the Hospitium of St. Gallus. The following seems to be the direction of the line ss at present determined upon :—From Rorschach by Rheineck, Allstaedten, and Ragaz to Chur. To Chur, and further on to Richeneau, there are no difficulties of impor tance. The construction of the line from Richeneau through the Upper Valley of the Rhine, or through the Bundner Oberland to the toot of the pass, will be mire difficult. The pass ascends from Richeneau, E.N.E. to W. S.W., about 3,400 feet. The direction of the valley or pass is mostly straight, without any important curves. Prom Richeneau to Truns the valley is very narrow and rocky. At Ilauz, the first little town on the Rhine, it becomes wider. From Truns the country becomes more open, and the v a lley wide r , un til th e line arrives at the beautiful plain of Dissentis. From Dis sentis the line runs in a south-west direction for about thirty miles to the Hospitium St. Maria, on Mout Luknian. Where the line is to proceed from here and to reach the valley of the • Blegno is not yet known. From Olne, through the valleys of the.Blegno and Livin, there seem to be few engineering difficulties.. The works could commence with tlt' next spring, and the first rails could be laid down at the same time from Rorschach to Chur, and from Locurne to - Olne. In ten years this gigantic work might be completed, and the railway comminiication between the Bodensee to Turin and Genoa be complete also. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. Some progress was made in the settlement of the general accounts, but on the Cambridgeshire there are still several heavy balances standing over, and three or four parties are altogether in default. We will not prejudice their creditors by a publication of their names until their cases are pro nounced desperate.

MALT.--The statement in our last, made on the autho rity of Mr. VT. Scott, the owner, that this horse had been sold to Mr. Ford, is without foundation. COLLISION ON THE MIDLANDS RAILWAY.—Another collision took place early on Friday morning last, close to the Methley junction, just below Normanton station, which, had it been a passenger train instead of a goods train, might have been attended with the most fearful consequences. From the particulars which we have been enabled to collect from the guard, and from other sources, it appears that a spe cial waggon train was coming from the direction of York, and thafanother luggage,train was coming in a contrary direction. The collision took place between four and five o'clock in the morning, which was extremely foggy, at the time. At this period a Midland passenger train was also due; and the man at the Methley junction, where the Midland branches off to York, and whose duty it is to attend to the points, thinking that it was a passenger train coming, turned the points in the wrong direction, by which . means he placed the luggage train on the wrong line, and a most fearful collision took place between the two luggage trains, three of the carriages being entirely smashed to pieces. We are happy to state th:a no other damage was done, nor was any person injured. The line was speedily cleared of the obstruction, signals having been sent to Woodlesford and Normanton stations to stop any train from advancing until the line was per fectly clear. MAIL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a rather curious accident befel the Gloucester down mail when about midway between this town and Neath. It appears that the fore carriage axle suddenly giving way, the wheel became disengaged from the coach, and rolled off with a por tion of the axle in the box. The suddenm ss of the jerk thus created threw Mr. Williams, the driver, into the road without affording him much time for consideration. The guard likewise became disengaged from the vehicle, while the horsesopade off at a galloping pace. "The coach con tinued running on three wheels for upwards of half a mile, when one of the horses pulling rather stronger than the others, caused both coach and horses to fall into a ditch on the road side. The animals now commenced kicking vio lently until they disengaged themselves from the coach, the front part of which they had completely battered in. Pre viously to this the passengers, with a single exception, 4imped off the coach one by one, all sustaining more or less injury, but none to any great extent. The passenger most seriously hurtwas J. Alines, Esq., of Dolcothy, who had his shoulder dislocated, in leaping from the inside. The person who stuck to the coach was the only individual who came off unscathed.—Cambrian. DREADFUL EXPLOSION IN HURST-STREET, BIRMING DA3L—On Friday morning, about half-past ten o'clock, the inhabitants of Hurst-street, and the surrounding neighbour hood, were alarmed by a lerrific explosion proceeding from the house of Mr. Adamson, tailor, Hurst-street. It appears that Mr. Adamson, in addition to carrying on his own regular business, has for some time been in the habit of. manufacturing fire works for the purpose of supplying dealers, and one of the attics of the house in which he resided was fitted up for the carrying on of this branch of his occupation. At the time above stated, Mr. Adamson and his son (a young man about twenty-five years of age) were engaged in the manufacture ofsome fireworks, and while the son was mixing together some chemical preparation, it became ignited, and the flames at once communicated with a quantity of fireworks, whiph caused a terrific explosion, blowing out the two windows of the attics, and a mass of brickwork, above a yard in width, which at once fell into the street. The window of the front room, situate on the first floor, was aLso blown out, as was till window-frame of the room on the ground floor. We re gret to say that the son of Mr. Adamson was very severely injured, and was at once conveyed to the Queen's Hospital, where he now lies in a precarious state. Mr. Adamson, senior, was also much burnt about the arms and face in en deavouring to smother the fire in the first instance. The roof and front of the house were so shaken by the explosion, that it was deemed requisite to prop both up.—Birmingham Journal. PRICES or Fisn IN LONDON AND YARMOUTH,--A. fishmonger in this town went down to the beach on Tuesday, to procure if possible a turbot or two. The fish agent stated that he had orders to forward all to London, without selling any in Yarmouth, but as he wished to oblige the fishmonger, he might have two for 245. This was thought much too high a price, and they were eccordi.. : l. forwarded to London, and sold on Wedzfestiayflir 508.-8 ii Chronkk. HORIZONTAL WATCHES, VERY FLAT. AB.

DUNDEE AND Pairra.—Last week an extraordinary general meeting was held at Dundee, Lord Kinnaird in the chair, when the following resolutions were passed unani mously " That this company do agree to lease the line of the Scottish North Western and branches, upon the terms stated in the report of the directors, and do grant authority to the directors to apply to Parliament in the next sesson for the necessary powers. That the Directors be empowered to apply to Parliament for an Act or Acts to authorise the construction of a bridge across the Tay, near to Newburgh, with accesses thereto, and a main line of railway front the bridge to Kinross, in connexion with the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company, or with any other company, or by this company alone, and to raise additional capital for that purpose. That the additional capital to be raised for the bridge and line to Kinross shall amount to 250,0001., in shares of 251. each ; that each holder of one stare of the Dundee and Perth stock shall be entitled to one share of the new stock, at par, provided that such holder intimate his desire to take the same within 14 day from the date of intimation. That if any of the parties shall decline or fail to accept of his or their proportion of the new shares within the time speci f ed, and to pay any deposit which may be required thereon, the right of these parties to such shares shall cease, and the shares may be disposed of by the Directors in such manner as they shall think proper. That interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum be allowed on all calls paid on such shares after the Act or Acts authorising the formation of the aforesaid bridge and railway to Kinross shall have passed, and until open for traffic." Scornsx' GRAND JUNCTION.—A meeting of the Provi sional Committee was held at Glasgow on Thursday, the Marquis of Breadalbane in the chair, when it was reported that the Scottish Western Company had, at a general meeting of their Shareholders, ratified the terms adjusted by the Pro visional Committee of both Companies, by which it was agreed that the Grand Junction Company alone should proceed, and the Western should retire ; that the Shareholders of the latter should be paid out with ss. premium, or have the option of taking an interest to the extent of one-half their shares in the Grand Junction; and that the whole expenses of the Western should be paid by the Junction, who would acquire right to their whole survey, notices, and papers. The report further bore, that by the ratification of this arrange ment, the Grand Junction Company would now go to Par liament as an unopposed line, having the consent of all the landowners and others interested. The report was unani mously approved of. The allocation committee reported that they had concluded their labours, but were unable to issue letters of allocation until the important arrangement with the other company was completed, and they would issue notices of the allocation as soon as the option of the Western shareholders was intimated. The meeting then proceeded to appoint a committee of management, with full power to fol low out the purposes of the undertaking, and to see the Par. liamentary plans duly lodged in terms of the standing orders, and a petition for a Bill presented at the first meeting of Par liament. The chairman then briefly pointed out the impor tant objects of this Company, to afford a continued railway communication from England and the south-east and west of Scotland to the West Highlands, and also to the North Highlands, embracing the routes of the principal traffi, in cattle, merchandise, and passengers ; and he called the attention of the provisional committee to a scheme brought forward since the formation of this Company, for making a railway direct from Inverness to Fort William, along the line of the Cale donian Canal, with which he showed the Grand Junction could make a most convenient connexion near Fort William, whereby this line would secure the whole north and south direct traffic, besides benefiting Fort William and other places *in the distr i ct to be traversed. GLASGOW, PATRICK, AND DUMBARTON.—The surveys are proceeding, and the Parliamentary preliminaries are in a state of forwardness. LANARK, STIRLING, AND CLACIOIANNAN.---The committee intimate that such progress has been made with the surveys as to leave no doubt of submitting next session the most con.- plete system of direct railway communication between Glas gow and Stirling, and Alloa. The notices embrace the con struction of a bridge across the Forth at Alloa, for the erec tion of which the levels of the railway are suitable. NEW SCHEMES.
