Noble Lord the father of the present chairman that his (Mr. Stephenson's) late revered father was enabled to make his first 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 was, that the Hon. Mr. Liddell was to preside.—(Applause.) It reminded him of the days when he served his apprenticeship under Mr. Wood, at Killingworth, 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 Ravensworth 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:— .My dear Leman,—lf you have not already been ap prised, I am now able to acquaint you that the Queen and 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. N°.18,053., AUGUST 3, 1850. LONDON, SATURDAY *, 4 , [PRICE SD. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH 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 report, 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 500/. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is 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 5f ay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 320 d. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,972/. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7327. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiuins were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of Jane last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,700/., but 1,183/. lls. 10d. 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 l'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 siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. his office as that at the termination of his shrievalty he might look forward for the approbation of those friends to whose kindness he was now so greatly indebted. The Hon. Gentlemap having received the congratula tions of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Sheriffs, the Town Crier dissolved ,thei, hail. the Stewards' 'Plate of 501., added to a sweep stakes of 10 sovs. each; the Licensed Victuallers' Plate of 501., added to a handicap of 2 soya. each; and the Sussex Plato of 50/., added to a sweep stakes of 3 soya. each; the last three plates to close on Tuesday. The third day will be wholly devoted to the gentlemen of the Brighton Race Club. whose bill of fare will consist of the Brighton Club Stakes of 10 sovs. each, h ft, with 100 added, two plates of 50/., and a gold cup, the gift of the Brigton Rsce Committee, added to a handicap of 5 sovs. each. 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 aro 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 at seven . P.M., at 7s. 6d. for the first class, ss. 6d. for second class, and 3s. 6d. (!) for the third class, the same fares as the Sunday cheap trains ; the trains will run in about ens hour and a half. We have no doubt that these liberal terms will insure a great influx of visitors to the races. presentative ought to hear the arguments 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 hisses.) Mr. EVANS having seconded the motion, Mr. T. B. BARKER moved as an amendment, " That the late period of Admiral Napier's appearance in the field at the present election considerably endangered th e Liberal interests, without any probable chance of sue cess."—(Lowl 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.) GEDYE seconded the amendment, which was at tempted to be supported by Mr. TIIRAITES. That gen tleman braved a storm of opposition which is indescri bable for upwards of half an hour, insisting on his right to be heard. In vain did the chairman and other gen tlemen essay to secure him a hearing, and at length Mr. Thwaites retired with a declaration that the meeting was packed, and refused to hear the truth. The amendment was then put, and was hailed with loud applause by Mr. Williams' party. On the other hand, the original motion was greeted with equally loud plaudits by Admiral Napier's friends. After a show of hands, the resolution was declared to be carried.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOT) RACES.—FRIDAY. We have rarely seen ii, -- tter 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 ables located in the vicinity of the course. The racing was 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 between 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 Mentes remained sound. Musician defeated Compass cleverly for the Richmond Stakes, and Phlegra, for the third time, proved victorious, after a very severely contested race with Thoroughgood Sam. The meeting was brought to a close with the March Stakes, shortly after five o'clock. fik °4 F° " Yours very truly, " July 29, 1850." " CARLISLE.

The following notice has been issued by Mr. J. R. Mowatt, Secretary to the Great Northern Railway Com pany:— _ AQUATICS. THAMES BOAT RACES. The 79i miles of this railway from the London sta tion at Maiden•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. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Tice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prosrects. 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, end 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-prosaut. Sir C. NAPIER, in returning thanks, said that, although he had been charged with opposing the Government in order to secure himself a berth, ho had been offered and had refused the Commander-in•Chiefship of the Irish station. He thanked the meeting for his reception. He was determined to go to the poll, and that day had paid his " shot" towards the expenses.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks to the CLulirman, closed the pro ceedings. ,DIAN FIRE AND LIFE ASSUR ANCE COMPANY. GU.

In this heat stripe and black were tho 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 then took the lead, followed by red, and white and red, who were oar and oar for a few more seconds, purple, who were hampered immediately after 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 moat 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.

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. Grand Heat.

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 High Bridge or just about it. The winners maintained their lead, and came in first about five lengths. There was nearly the same distance be tween the 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, prizes being given to the whole of those in the grand Beat according to their position. 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, M.P., AT NEWCASTLE. NEWCASTLE-ON-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 Mensi 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. Neigh, 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 which— The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast of the even ing, and was received with an 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 bad 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 Stockton 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.—(Applause.) He has bound together, with an iron band, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, 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 that 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 delineated 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 these has far transcended all former architects, whether of Greek or Roman fame? The Roman satirist, in a tone of iron cal incredulity, exclaimed— " Credimus olim Veleficetus Athos, et quicquid Grsecia mendax Audet in historic, substratum classibus isciem Suppositansque rotis solidum mare." But, in this day, I must correct the sneer 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 hare 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 due to the name and due to his services, the health of Mr. R o bert Stephenson.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) Mr. ROBERT STEPHENSON , M .P., after expressing his gratification at the acknowledgment of his services he was then receiving, gavea•retrospect in of the last few years :—lt is but a brief period since I was en gaged as an assistant tracing the line of the Dar lington and Stockton Railway. The Liverpool and Manchester, and the Liverpool and Bir mingham, and a hundred oth er great wor k s have sprung . into vigorous existence so suddenly, so promptly, so inconceivably quick, that it appears to be realising the fable of the magician's ,nand. Hills have beets cut down, valleys filled up, where they have been small ; and where more extensive works have been re quired, the mount a i n h as b een pierced, the river spanned, or a viaduct has b een f ormed. 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 respecting 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 th , :r co-operation my success is owing. In this imme diate neighbourhood especially I feel it my duty to call your attention to a gentleman with whom 1 heve been associated in carrying out the works—Mr. Thor-.es 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 iu this room when I say that the feelings of my own are veryinade 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 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 111.`Dougal, R.N., was called to tho chair. _ _ _ Sir CHARLES NAPIER said that many present no doubt I 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. He 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 ho 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 one-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 in 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.—(Hear.) Ho 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 more attention or had been present at more divisions. It might be asked why he had not remained stt MarYlebone—his answer was, that at the close' of the' kit. session he was appointed to command a aqua droop and was told he would be required to go to Lis bon , Was - years. He had previously informed his -them' :constituents that if required to be more than'fourtor five mouths from England he would place his seat at their disposal, and, in obedience to his pro mise,' he had ,kapt it, though it since appeared he was notmanted -at Lushest, 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 ths country, and instanced the state ment of Lord Ellenborough in the Upper House to show its sai le of s s e t n h t e i a l l i i n t e y in whenthe e Baltic , Russia w h a n d i n e o t w h e a B il li e e t i t s h o f f 0 3 r 0 c e t 0 w 4 1,8 0 truly insignificant. A true saving to be effected was in the dockyards, where the expenditure bad been at once t la h v e ish H a o n n d . useless. Gallantless. fterso to answer any questions that might be p ut to him in a strai g htforward manner. fu rther his read iness remarks, Mr. E. EDWARDS rose, and was proc eedin g to addr e ss Admiral After expressed g eneral the meeting in a long speech, but was met by loud cries of " Down, question." Eventually he 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.—(oh, oh.) Sir C. NAPIER replied that he went to restore a young t Queen to her throne, for whic h be was scratched out of 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 down Sunday trading ; that would best be effected by masters paying their men on Friday night.—(Hear, hear.) No man could be made reli g i ous b y A ct of Par liament. In answer to a series of other questions put by Mr. F. Doulton, Mr. Dyson, Mr. Alder, and other members of MT. WiIIHIRIS'S committee, Sir CHARLES NAPIER declared himself, on the subject of flogging in the army and navy, that at present ho was not prepared to surrender the power of inflicting the punishment. In reply to enether query, he pledged himself, if ordered to a naval com mand, to surrender at once the trust of a represeuta tivo to Lis constituents ; and to a further inquiry be diariretly refused to give hi 3 adhesion to the points comprised in that which was d es i gna t e d tho " People's Charter." lie would join in shortening the duration of Parliaments, but was not prepared to support a , nositiou for a severance between the Church -to, nor for any interference with the Established IreEnd.—(Hisses, groans, and cheers.) r the abolition of the taxes on know ...ed to give a reply; and it would -liament if he was now called -ference to which a re p 1 and S.

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, had been returned by the Livery as sheriff for the ensuing year, by a majority of 420 over Charles 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 RAIL WAY. - (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 disaster took place shortly before eleven o'clock, about a quarter of a mile beyond the Cowlairs station. The particulars, so far as we 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 advisable to divide it into several parts. Tile first portion arrived at the Cowlairs station almost immediately after the Edinburgh train, which was then stationed there, and getting ready for entering the tunnel. The Edinburgh train contained forty-one 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 neces 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 dia tance behind, as the two trains had left Greenhill Juno _ _ Lion nearly together, and they had kept sight of th e pre ceding one the whole way onward,. The collision was a most violent one. Scarcely any of the hundreds of passengers have escaped unhurt, though, fortunately, the bruises of most are comcaratively 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 hire. 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. They 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 circamstances,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 gentlemen employed by the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway Company of the persona injured on their line, 1 15 n the morning of Thursday, Ist August, liiso. William Whitehead, farmer, near Dunblane—severe but not serious bruise from right shoulder to thigh. Mrs. Miienzie, from Methven, aunt of Mr. M'Ars, 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 teeth knocked out. Mrs. M'E wen, from Comrie—Eye cut and hand bruised. Catherine Drummond or Macgregor, from Comrie— Concussion of brain. Mrs. Jessie Middleton, Kenbuck—Bruises on face and limbs. Also her infant child—Severe bruises on head; since dead. William Aitken, baker, Bannockburn—Cats 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, Culiens, near Dunblane ; John Morrison, overseer at Kippen-cross. Another account states that the number of persons killed on the spot was six.
