THE SUN, Tiorbi s,2Dittort that it will be expedient that the company should become the insurer of its own steam-hosts, setting aside a certain sum annually to cover the risk of loss, and they requ , ist your sanction accordingly. " The arrears of calls due at the last 11111-yearly meet ing amounted to 40,6661. 10s., since which 2,8161. 103. has been received. Your directors have declared the forfeiture of 65 shares, which requires the confirmation of the present meeting." The report of the engineer, Mr. Robert Stephenson, says— " It affords me very great satisfaction to report to you that the whole of the tubes of the Britannia Bridge are now safely deposited in their final positions. Nothing now remains to be done but to complete the junctions between those composing the second line. " A fortnight will finish the junctions in the Britannia Tower; three weeks more will complete the junction with the Carnarvoi small tube; and by the end of Octo ber I have DO cl , iubt all the remaining preparations for the opening of the second line will be brought to a satis factory conclusion. " As this will probably be the last report I shall have the honour of addressing to you in reference to the works of the Holy head Railway, I deem it only proper, after several years of intense anxiety respecting the Conway and Britannia Bridges, to return you my sin cere thanks for the unwavering confidence you have al ways displayed in the views I have been called upon to express in reference to the structures; without this con fidence the task would have proved much more difficult than it has proved; but I assure you the value of this confidence is much enhanced in my estimation by the fact that you gave it when the balance of opinion was de cidedly against me." _ _ SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. CIFPSTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders o: the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company took place to-day at the Euston Station. The meeting was held for the purpose of receiving the report of the directors, for the election of directors in the room of • those who retire by rotation, to agree to the for feiture of certain shares, and upon the other business of the company. C. R. Moorsom, Esq., the chairman of the company, ook the chair at twelve o'clock. Among the directors present we noticed Sir C. Douglas Captain Mangles, and Mr. Peter. The Douglas, in moving the adoption of the re port, eonfessed that he felt disappointed at the through traffic since the opening of the Britannia Bridge. He was glad, however, to say that they had two thirds of the traffic from Liverpool to Dublin.— (Hear.) He could only account for the lesser traffic to Ireland by the state in which that country was placed at' the present moment, but he was in hopes of seeing: a brighter day.—( Hear, hear.) They could not look upon this line as a completed line, and he believed when it was finished it would be a most prosperous concern.—(Hear, hear.) ahe local traffic had been very fairly developed, and he had no doubt that ere long it would be considerably improved. The company had adopted thesystem. of low fares, but it was said by many that they had not gone far enough. He was one who did not like to adopt low fares too hastily, but if it was shown that lower fares would bring more passenger traffic to the line, no one would be more ready than himself to assent to it. He be lieved that when the company were in a situation properly to carry out their line the slate and coal traffic- would be most profitable to them —(Hear.) The excursion trains had been most productive to the company, and he believed that they would be more so when the line was properly worked out. He believed that the expenses of the locomotive department might be considerably reduced, and that their agreement with the London and North Western Company might be revised and improved.—(Hear, hear.) A. con siderable reduction, he was happy to say, had been made on the working of the steam-boats.—(Hear.) He trusted that in the election of the six gentlemen that were to be appointed as directors they would have regard to men of practical knowledge and ex perience, and that they would elect men who would honestly and satisfactorily carry out their interest. The Hon. Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the following report : "It will bs in the recollection of the shareholders that at the last half-yearly meeting your directors obtained their approval of a Bill authorising this company to lea,e their line to the London and North-Western Rail way Company, or to make other arrangements with that company for its working. They hoped that long before this time they should have been placed is a position to convene a special meeting, to which, after receiving the formal sanction of the measure required by the House of Lords, it would, have been their duty to submit the plans by which the scheme then contemplated might, in the judgment of the directors, be most beneficially carried into execution. Tney regret that they must now an nounce to you that these expectations have been entirely frustrated. " Parties having interests at variance with those of the London and North-Western Company, and seeking to encroach upon its traffic, took occasion, from the pro motion of the Bill in question by this company, to urge upon the Committee of the House of Commons the intro duction of a clause giving to those parties powers and pri vileges quite incompatible with any practicable arrange ment between this company and the London and North- Western for the completion or working of the line; arid, in spite of the earnest remonstrances of your directors, they , succeeded in effecting that object. The House, how . ever, threw cut the clause, and when the same parties made an attempt to reinstate it, it was again rejected. But the same short sighted, hostility pursued the Bill b-fire the Committee of the House nf Lords, although it was certain that with such a clause the Bill would be valueless for any public or private object, because the London and North-Western Company would refuse an alliance coupled with the conditions imposed; and the issue proving unfavourable, the measure has been ne cessarily abandoned, to the serious detriment of your interests, and without a particle of benefit to the parties whose opposition to the London and North-Western Company led them to strike at that body through this company. " The result is a matter of deep regret to your direc tors. Their best hopes of improving your position were founded on the possibility of combining your interests with those of the Landon and North-Western Company, and of rendering it safe and profitable for that power ful body to aid in extricating you from your embarrass ments. But your directors could not, of course, expect that that company would undertake so arduous a task, under the additional pressure of an Act of Parliament, which proposed to deprive them, in favour of a third party altogether without rightful.clairo, of a large share of the legitimate advantage of the projected en terprise. " Nor is this the only disappointment which your di rectors have experienced. In March last you were ap prised that they were 'in communication with her Ma. jeaty's Government, having for their object such assist ance as would enable the company to complete the un dertaking at the earliest period;'' and they continued their endeavours to this end until a very recent date. They urged upon tfif Chancellor of the Exchequer, with all the force which they felt to be warranted by she justice of the case, their claim to temporary aid from the public press, on the ground—lst, that the contract for the mails having been granted to the company, be fore it broke ground in its works, for the avowed reason that the traffic was insuffecient in itself to afford recJm pense for so great an undertaking, the loss in that re spect resulting from the visitation which had desolated Ireland ought not to be thrown excludvely on the com pany, without any contribution from the Government, so greatly henefitted by the opening of such an import line of communication; arid, 2dly, that the peremptory requisition of the Admiralty, backed by a Parliamentary Committee, in regard to the mode of crossing the Menai Straits, having imposed on the company an additional and•uolooked-fur expense of nearly halt a million ster ling, it was equitable that the Government, thus re lieved from all share of the cost necessary to recoucilo two public objecis (to wit, the free navigation of the straits, and the continuous line of railway from London to St. George's Channel), should afford some assistance, by way of a loan, to enable the company to complete its works, iu order to its reimbursement. "Your directors are sorry to state that, whilst they have been personally treated with every consideration and courtesy, the Government has refused to entertain these reasonable and moderate claims fur a contribution in the shape of mere temporary aid, although it was shown in the clearest manner that no risk could be in volved in the transaction. The only concession made to the company—at the same time that is success in over coming not merely the vast natural difficulties of the un dertaking. but the impediment thrown in its way by a public department, was used by the Prime Minister as a cogent argument for the abolition of the Lord-Lieute nant of Ireland—has been the abandonment by the Go vernment of its claim for a contribution of 200,0001 to wards the new harbour at Holyhead. The directors feel, however, that such a demand for a contribution to a public refuge harbour is one which never ought to have been made. In the same spirit af indiff,rence to the difficulties of a company engaged in carrying out an en terprise of pre-eminent public importance, the contract fur the performance of the mail service between Holy head and Kiegstown was given to parties who have a direct interest in diverting the traffic to the route by way of Liverpool. And this was done notwith standing that a Select Committee of the House cf Com mons, ot which the lamented Sir Hebert 1. 1 .-el was chair man, after considering the question whether this com pany should be permitted to own sream-hoat., bad ex pressed a deliberate opinion with respect to the advan tage of placing the management and control of the whole line between London and Dublin in the hands of a single party. " Under the heavy discouragements briefly described in the foregoing paragraphs, end labouring constantly under the pressure of the pecuniary difficulties with which the company has had to struggle, your directors have exerted themselves to the best of their ability to accomplish, at the earliest possible date, such a comple tion of the line as may fit it fit general purposes of use fulness. In furtherance ot this end, the last tube of the Britannia Bridge has been raised to its intenned place; and your directors hope that that wonderful structure will ne finally completed during the month ot October met. The notion having been seconded, Mr. HENMAN deprecated the mode in which the accounts had been kept, and designated them as fal lacious, though he would not say they were cooked or false, but he contended that they ought to have a revenue of 18,0001. for the purposes of a dividend, instead of 7,6411. He submitted that the revenue ac count was an incorrect one, the capital fallacious, and that the directors had applied money to purposes that were not legal. The time had come when there must be a full investigation into the affairs of the company. —(Hear, hear.) The directors had held the reins of power for six years, and they had never given the opportunity to the shareholders of electing their own directors.—(Hear, bear.) He thought the directors had exhibited a most extravagant example in making two lines of tubes over the Menai Straits, when one would have answered every purpose and have been constructed at two-thirds of the expense. He depre cated the whole course adopted by the directors, and would move, as an amendment to the adoption of the report, the following resolution : '` That a committee of five shareholders be ap pointed to inquire into all matters and things touching and concerning the accounts, contracts, and expenditure, in and from th e formation of the company, and especially to inquire and report epon the state of our relations with the . Mold Railway Company, and the legality of the proceedings of the directors in relation thereto; and also to inquire and report upon the expenditure of the money raised from the shareholders under 10 and 11 Vic., chap. 238; and also to inquire and report upon the legality of the issue of debentures to the amount made, with power to examine the chairman of directors, the directors and auditors, the engineers, accountant, and other officers of the company. and to cell for and examine all books, papers, vouchers; and other documents. and that the cost of such investigation be defrayed out of the funds of the company. and theta special meeting be held on the 28th of September next to receive and consider the report of the committee, and that the consideration of the report of the directors to this present mce!ing, and all other business be deterred until such special meeting." Mr. BALL seconded the amendment. Mr. COLEMAN, the accountant of the company, explained the accounts most satisfactory to the meet ing, and completely met the objections of the mover of the amendment. Mr. TWINING deprecated inquiry, as calculated to depreciate the property of the company. After some considerable ard irregular discussion, The CHAIRMAN then put the ameLdment, and upon a show of hands declared it to . be lost, 9 hands being held up fur it and 24 against it.. . A resolution was passed declaring 65 shares for feited, after an attempt to obtain the names of the parties holding those shares b4ing defeated. The following resolution was also carried : " That the directors be, and are hereby, authorised to contract with any parties willing to construct any siding or branch from any part of the railway, and to allow them the benefit of traffic brought to or from such bidii.g over the rail►vay." The directors that went out by rotation were re elected after a short discussion ; as were the auditors, after an attempt to propose Mr. Henman as one of the auditors, which failed. The usual resolution for the remuneration to the directors was carried, and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN • ••• •EDINBURGH. (From a Second Edition of the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Thursday.) Since the memorable visit of George IV. to Edin burgh, in 1822, or the more recent visit of her MA jesty twenty years later, no event in our civic annals has excited such general interest in the Scottish metropolis as the expected !fjuurn brief as it is to be—of Queen Victoria in the palace of her an cestors, at Holyrood. The residence amengat us of a Sovereign so beloved, is an event that will be remecebsred for generations, as marking her Msjeety's attachment to Scotland, and her confidence in the hereditary loyalty of th 3 Scottish nation. The arrival of the royal party this afternoon was ex pected, therefore, with enthusiasm ; and the latter part of the day was generally observed as a holiday in honour of the occasion—the shops being shut, while dense crowds in their best attire flocked from all quarters to the long-forsaken " Court- end" of the city. The station at Meadowbank, about a quarter of a mile from Holyrood Palace (now to be named " The Queen's Station,") on the line of the North British Railway, was selected—(on the suggestion, we be lieve, of the Lord Provost) —as an appropriate land ing-place for the royal party, and the requisite ar rangements were consequently made for her Majesty's arrival by the directors of the North British Railway Company. Its chief advantage consists in its being in the neighbourhood of the palace, which is easy of access, without the pressure avid incon venience of a crowded thoroughfare. The royal demesne of the Queen's Park (the right of forestry over which, once exerci-ed by the Earl of Hadding ton, has recently been acquired by purchase by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests) extends to within a few yards of the landing-place at Meadow bank. Tne lower part of the Queen's Drive, formed on the site of the old Duke's Walk, affords an excel lent carriage road to liolyrood Palace. The preparations made for the reception of her Majesty in this quarter were in general marked by an absence of laboured " pomp and circumstance," though they were of an elegant and tasteful de scription. The character of the royal visit was such as to dispense with extensive or`omentatious display, although there were not wanting everywhere ex pressive symbols of the popular regard. The land ing platform is about one hundred yards west .of the tunnel below the Portobello-road, and on the south side of the railway. It is ninety-seven feet in length and ten feet broad, and was covered with crimson cloth. Immediately in the centre is the vestibule lead ing to the spacious flight of steps by which her Ma jesty was conducted to the royalearriage in waiting on the .Abbeyhill-road, close by Personsgreen. The vesti bule was roofed by an elegant timber canopy, finished in front to resemble festoons of drapery. The royal crown surmounted the centre, with the letters V.A. on each side. The neighbouring slope was fenced by light frame-work, and decorated with heather; and at . the entrance to the flight of steps, on each side, two elegant pedestals were placed, hearing urea filled by splendid exotics, in the cull luxuriance of fl ewer. Tne interior of the landing gallery, or pa vilion, had a superb and tasteful appearance. The roof was finished in the style of an Arabian tent, by graceful festoons of white and pink drapery. Be tween each column the pink drapery assumed the form of an Arabian arch; and the pillars themselves were finished with pink, fluted white. The steps, which were divided into two series, were laid with In their last report, your directors stated their in- crimson cloth from end to end ; but the carpet placed tention to open a separate revenue account from the let for her Majesty to walk from the railway train to of January last. That course has been taken, and th e the royal carriage was formed of what is called net proceeds have been applied towards the payment o f " the Stewart hunting tartan."

The columns of the arches were wreathed in bay leaves, and encircled at the base with splendid exotics. Floral stars adornsd the panelling with the exception of the centre, which displayed graceful fe•taons of dahlias. The cornices and other parts of the entablature were enriched with paterae formed of a single dahlia ; and between each arch floral festoons were hung with exquisite taste. The Lrnaments on the other parts of the gallery were of the same rich and ♦aried character: and the erection being em• bosomed amidst the fine old trees that adorn the pail - , the effect was perfectly unique and striking. Along the whole route galleries were erected at every eligible locality for the accommodation of the spectators. They were in general plain but substan tial structures, and erected without ornament. Se veral were in the immediate neighbourhood of the palace ; and an extensive platform erected, under the express sanction of the authorities, on the sloping ground which borders the road through the Queen's Park, was estimated to contain above 3,000 p'rsoos, and, with other galleries, was filled long before the hour of her Majesty's arrival by respectable parties. A large area on the old Abbe3hill-road, fronting the royal landing-place, was secured by closing the thoroughfare from the Abbeyhill on the one side and the Portobello road on the other. Near the watering place a barrier and gallery were erected to prevent communication from behind; and a similar erection was placed across the Portobello road, opposite Par sonsgreen lodge. The area thus enclosed was occu pied by the royal carriages, the military escort, and other parties. The guard of honour at Meadowbank, consisting of one captain, two subalterns, and 50 men of the 931 Highlanders, with the band of the 13th Light Dragoons, and a Queen's colour, arrived on the ground shortly before two o'clock. Tne cavalry escort con sisted of one officer and twenty men of the 13th Light Dragoons. The route of the royal party through the Queen's park was lined on both sides, from the railway sta tion to the Palace gate, by the 13th Light Dragoons and 93d Highlanders. The latter fine body of men extended from Aleadowbank for some distance along the road. No access was allowed to the palace yard, and barricades were erected across the streets leading to it, to prevent any approach. At the eastern extremity of the park, near Parsons green, a strong barrier was raised to prevent the pressure of the crowd; and a similar erection was formed near the south-eastern angle of the palace. The hour of her Majesty's expected arrival was the directors, which reached Meadow•bank a few minutes before five o'clock. The royal train made its appearance at Meadow bank about five minutes past five o'clock, and wts greeted with loud acclamations by the assembled spec tators, who were accommodated in the windows of the buildings at Meadowbank and on the neighbour ing eminences. The royal engine, which is one of the most powerful in the company's service, was decorated in a superb and tasteful st 3 le. It is the same that was used on a similar occasion last year, and displayed in front a semicircular arch of wood, bearing in gilded letters the inscription—" God save the Queen," and having a magnificent star suspended from its centre. This arch, with another behind, was surmounted by a large and splendid royal crown, resting on a beauti ful cushion of crimson velvet. The motto, " Long live the Royal Family," was displayed on one side of an elliptical arch, which extended longitudinally along the engine, having also en the revere side, " Success to the British empire." This arch was surmounted by a floral crown, having a Scotch thistle on each side, and the initial letters " V. A." at the extremity. Two beautiful stars were sus pended from the centre of the arch, and by the tassteful addition of shrubs and evergreens a pleasing and superb efiect was produced. The tender was decorated with festoons of crimson velvet, with yel low tassels, displayed on framework, and interspened with flowers. The crown and decorations were the workmanship of the men in the employment of the company at St. Margaret's staiion, and reflected great credit on their taste and skill. The pilot engine was adorned with evergreens, and displayed in front a floral crown. There were waiting on the platform to receive her Majesty the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Edinburgh; Major-General Sir James Riddell, Commanding the Forces in Scotland, and a brilliant Staff; also Sheriff Gordon, John Lear mouth, E-q., of Dean, Chairman of the North British Railway Company, and a number of the directors. Her Majesty and Prince Albert occupied a splen did saloon carriage, in which were the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred. her Majesty was at tired in a dress of deep mourning, as were also Prince Albert and tie Royal children. The Princess Royal and the .Prince•as Alice, travelled in a separate carriage, under the charge of the Marchio ness of Douro, and the Hon. Miss Lennox. Her Majesty on alighting from the royal carriage, was received by Sir George Grey. The Duke of Buc cleuch was immediately recognised by the Queen, who remarked to his Grace that it was a fine after noon. generally known in the city ; and, as we have said, from an early hour in the afternoon crowds of well dressed parties poured in a continuous stream through all the different avenues leading to the Queen's Park. Each moment augmented their numbers, and in a short time every eminence likely to command a view of the royal progress was occupied. The great ex tent and diversified surface of the park, forming on the north side a vast natural amphitheatre, was of ample capacity for the immense concourse. Many females mingled in the dense throng, which over spread the heights to their summit; and the gay and varied colours of their dresses presented a striking and singular contrast to the more sombre shades of the verdant hill-side. The sloping ground along the road through the park• —as, perhaps, the most favourable for commanding a near view of the royal party—was occupied throughout its whole extent. This road is here formed near the old " Duke's Walk," which is supposed to have de rived its name from having b.ien the favourite pro menade of James VII., when Duke of York, during his residence at Holyrood. It is difficult to conceive a more magnificent avenue to the old Palace of our Kings. The bill rears its dusky sides to a great height on the south, broken towards the west by the steep ascent which bears on its summit the crumbling ruins of the ancient chapel and hermitage of SG. An thony. The overhanging cliffs beyond impart an as pect of grandeur to the prospect, which is terminated by the towering peak of Arthur's Seat. The graphic pen of Sir Walter Scott, in the " Heart of Mid-Lo thian," has described with characteristic felicity the picturesque beauties of the scene; and Scottish song has added its poetic charm i❑ the well known lyris— " Now Arthur's Seat shell be my bed— The sheets shall ne'er be pressed by me; St. Anton's well shall be my drink, Since my true love's forsaken me." Her Majesty having bowed her acknowledgments to Mr. Learmouth, Chairman of the North Britiah Railway Company, ascended with Prince Albert the flight of steps leading to the royal carriage, which was lined by the Royal Archers. The dfferent mem bers of the Royal family followed. Her Majesty and Prince Albert occupied one side of the royal carriage, and the Prince of 'Vales and the Princess Royal sat opposite. The royal cortege moved off, headed by Mr. Sheriff Gordon and J. A. Campbell, Esq., Sheriff-Clerk, in a handsome barouch and pair, followed by a detach ment of the 13th Light Dragoons. The Royal Archers formed the body guard around the royal carriage. The Duke of Buccleuch and Msjor-Ge neral Riddell rode immediately behind, and Lord Elcho walked by the side of the royal carriage. The royal party were greeted with hearty applause by the distinguished party on Mr. Mitchell Innes' platform, among whom the venerable figure of the Lord Justice-General was conspicous. Her Majesty, on emerging into the Park from the Abbey hill-road, seemed impressed with the magni ficence of the scene before her. She was hailed with an enthusiastic burst of acclamation from the multitudes in the Park. The Queen and Prince Al bert seemed to feel deeply this loyal expression of ho mage, and testified their gratification by repeated ac kn )wledgments. The shouts of welcome were caught up by the more distant crowds, and echoed from peak to peak of the surrounding hills. Every suc cessive stage in the royal progress witnessed the same manifestations of enthusiastic feeling, till the arrival of the royal party at the gates of Holyrood, where she arrived at nineteen minutes past five o'clock precisely. Her approach was announced by a royal salute from the Castle. Her Majesty and the Prince were observed re peatedly to remark the more prominent features of the scenery. The dark and irregular mass of the Old Town at once arrested the attention of the royal party, who afterwards glanced with apparent interest at the precipitous sweep of Salisbury Crags, on the one side, and the Carlton Hill, with the fine structures that adorn its summit, on the other. The immense multitude awaited the arrival of her Majesty in their elevated position, without impa tience, and the exercise of the greatest good humour. Tne morning was marked by bright sunshine, and many anxious spectators were busy examining the different preparations at an early hour. The sky became dull and uncertain in the course of the fore noon, but, notwithstanding the threatening aspect of the sky, the enthusiasm of the inhabitants would not be damped, and they continued to flock in great numbers to the Queen's Park. About two o'clock the clouds passed otY, and the sun shone brightly out from a blue sky. Having thus described the scene which awaited her Majesty's arrival in her ancient capital, we pro ceed to chronicle the stages of the Royal progress northwards as they were transmitted to Edinburgh from time to time by electric telegraph. Her Majesty left Castle Howard about nine o'clock, arrived at York—a distance of about twenty miles—at twenty minutes from eleven, at Darlington at thirty-five minutes past eleven, at Belmont at twenty minutes past noon, and at Newcastle-on Tyne at one o'clock. Here the approach of the Royal train was made known about fifteen minues before its appearance, by a salute from the guns of the ancient Norman Castle, so long " the bridle of the Scots," in their forays into England. Scarcely had the wreaths of smoke cleared off from the grim old Keep, when the train was seen gliding slowly along from Gateshead across the High Level Bridge, towards the new Central Station. In waiting for the arrival of the royal carriage was the Earl Grey, who conducted her M.jesty, Prince Albert, and the Prince of Wales, to a room where refresh ments had been laid out for the royal party. Fully fifteen minutes were spent here, when the royal travellers again entered their carriages, and the train proceeded northwards. The Central Station, the High Level Bridge—in fact, every spot whence a view of her Majesty could be obtained—were crowded with spectators ; and loud, long, and ort-n renewed, were the cheers which burst forth from the multitudes as her Majesty alighted. The morning was fine on the whole, though here, as at Edinburgh, the sky was occasionally overcluuded. Tne royal carriage left Newcactleat twenty-fly. minutes past one o'clock, and, passing Morpeth and Warkworth, " proud of Percy's fame," arrived at Lesbury, near Alu wick, at half-past two o'clock. Belford—distant from Newcastle fifty-one miles, and from Berwick-on-the-Tweed, fifteen miles— was reached at three o'clock. Early in the afternoon a guard of honour of the 93d Highland,rs, consisting of one captain, two sub alterns, and 50 men, with the Queen's. colour and baud, was in attendance at Holyrood Palace. Fifty men of the Royal Artillery, with arms, and two officers, also took part in the procession. A party of the Royal Archers, under the command of the Earl of Murton, was stationed in front of the Palace, with the colours and the fine band of the corps. Bailie Rogers, and the High Constables of Holyrood, took up a position close by the main en trance of the Palace. The High Constables of the city, headed by Mr.. Mackie, the Moderator, attired in a full court dress, were also in attendance. The magistrates of Canoogate, in their robes of office, and the constables of the same burgh, and of Easter and Wester and Portsburgh, under Baillies Stevenson and Scott, were also on duty. Upon the arrival of the royal cortege, her Ma jesty and Prince Albert, with the other members of the Royal Family, alighted from the royal car riage. , Mr. Rutherford, W.S., deputy keeper of Holyrood, in the absence of the Duke of Hamilton from indisposition, was presene to receive the Queen. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, having again recrzcised the Duke of Buccleuch, heartily shook hands with his Grace as they entered the gate way. In the quadrangle and colonnade of the Palace were a select and distinguished party of the Nobi lity and gentry, who greeted her Majesty and Prince Albert with silent and respectful homage.- The Lord Provost, Sir William Gibson Craig, M. Mavison, French Consul, and the Hon. B. F. Primrose, were also present.

(Before Mr. WITHAM, Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates.) Yesterday William filyerscroft, alias iVilliam Wilson, surrendered to take his trial under an indictment which charged him with having stolen a silk scarf, the pro perty of Lavinia Smith. The prisoner was a very respectable-looking man of about 40 years of age. Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Payne was for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix that she was a dressmaker, living in Church-street, Stoke Newington, and that when before the magistrate she had given her name as Lucille Montague. Her proper name, however, was that described in the indictment. It had happened that as she was returning home from Charlotte street, Fitzroy-square, on the evening of the 6th iust , and was proceeding along Holborn, at about nine o'clock le the eceaing, she was accosted by the prisoner at the bar, who put some questions to her on the subject of the weather, which at the time was wet. At first she paid no attention to him, but pursued her onward course. Eventually, however, she entered into conversation with him, and shortly afterwards he persuaded her, as it was so wet, to accompany him to a coffee-shop where they might take shelter. Whilst they were at that place the prisoner called for hall•st quertern of brandy, of which spirit she partook of a glass. They remained in the cufftee shop about twenty minutes, and in the course of their conversation she mentioned that she was on her way to the Bank, where she should get. into an omnibus which weulo take her home. Upon this the prisoner said that, singular enough, he was going the same way, and he vvowd he happy to accompany her. Accordingly. as she did not decline the proposal, off they started, but they had not proceeded very far before she became per fectly unconscious as to where she was, as wed as of everything that was passing. What became of her from that moment she did not know, but when the regained her senses, towards the middle of the night, she found that she was in a house of ill-fame in the vicinity of Heaton, and that the prisoner was in the room with her. Upon discovering the situation in which she was placed she implored the prisoner at once to quit the room, a course which he refused to take, whereupon she call. d out, when a woman belonging to the house came up, from whom (as she again felt very ill) she asked for a glass of water. At this period she took off her bonnet and scarf, and laid them on a chair in the room. She then renewed her solicitation to the prisoner to leave the room, but he again refused to do so. She thereupon intimated to the young woman who had come up that it was her wish that the prisoner should leave the room, when the for mer said that if she (the prosecutrix) would come down sutra she would herself soon get rid of him. Ac cordingly she went down stairs into a back par lour. The woman of the house called out to the prisoner to the effect that the prosecutrix was gone. The prisoner then came doe, when upon being told that she had run awe), he ran out as if after her into the street. She then went upstairs, aid on reaching the room where she had previously been, and where, tee, she had left her scarf, she discovered that it had been taken away. She instantly went after the pris tner, and having overtaken him, gave him into the custody of an officer, and then, being in custody, he took the scat f out of his hat. The prosecutrix, en her cross-examination by Mr. Payne, stated that she had been married, and had had two children, one of whom was illegitimate, the father being Mr. Morel, of Marlborough street. The other child was by her husband. That she had been married she would swear, but she declined to say who her husband was; she was now a widow. The policeman, H 60, said that the house to which the prosecutrix had been taken was in the Vinegar ground, City-road, a most notorious locality, full of houses of ill-tame and prostitutee. Mr. PAYNE made a powerful speech on behalf of the prisoner, and eubmitted that the fact of the scarf having been found in his hat was purely an accident. Professor Elolloway, of 244, Strand, was called to speak to the character of the prisoner. He stated that the prisoner had been in his service as bookkeeper and foreign correspondent for the last five years, and that his conduct and character were irreproachable. The CHAIRMAN having umtnet up, The jury returned a verdict of uilty. Toe Cuernaratt sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Charles Shadbolt, conductor of omnibus No. 2,327, was summoned before Mr. Alderman Gibbs upon the charge of having refused to admit a person into the amm bus when there was sufficient room. Charles Bustard, 353, N division of the metropolitan police, said—On the 21st of August I was at the Flower rot public-house, in Bishopsgatr-street, at five o'clock, and I waited till a quarter-past five, when the defendant's omnibus took its stand in front of the house. The horses' heads were towards Kingsland-road. There were three passengers, and one got out and two got in. I went up to him and said I wanted a seat to King land. lie said ho would not take me, that he had room for no more than his customers, and ho persisted in refusing to admit me. Ha then refused to take two ladies, although one of them offeriA to pay any amount of fare for the accomm dation. He stated that his was not a three penny " bus," and I told him I asked nothing about the far.-, and that I should certainy report his conduct in the proper quarter. Tho d.-tendant said he - objected to admit the cora pl,inant because the charge of 6d. was re:used by that person. James Ovvrton said he went down to Kingsland by the defendant's omnibus on Thursday nighr, and there was a crowd round the place. The complainant was amongst the crowd, and the conductor said his fsre was 6d., and he carried no threepenny fares upon that oc casion. The omnibus, he thought, carried thirteen passengers. _ Alderman G/BBS sa!d the public were accuit )med to overcharged in the way described, and that females were very frequently victimized. The penalty he should in flict would be 203., or Bridewell for one month, and the offence should be nominated in the licence. WORSHIP-STREET. Two men named John Sutheriond and John Francis Richardson, journeymen ty;_efounders, were brought be fore Mr. Ilammill, charged, the former with having ob structed the thoroughfare and caused a crowd to assemble in front of the premises of Messrs. Henry Caslon and Son, letter-founders, in Chiswell-street, St. Luke's, and the latter with disorderly conduct in inciting a mob to rescue the other prisoner from the custody of the police. Mr. Wakeling attended to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Child tor the defence. Inspector Brannan, of the G division, stated, that having received information that a large mob had assembled in Chiswell-street, and that the thorough. faro was completely obstructed, he proceeded there accompanied by tour sergeants and a dozen con stables ; and on reaching the complainant's foundry observe d the defendant Sutherland parading about in the front of the premises, with a large placard at his b ac k , an d a similar one slung to his breast, avid surrounded by a crowd of at leapt 150 per 6011i. Witness immediately stepped up to the prisoner, and requested him to withdraw, to which he replied, "I am paid for what I am doing, and while I keep moving on you have no power to interfere with me," The pri soner then resumed his walk backwards and forwards at a very slow pace, occasionally shouting out " French invasion! French invasion!" And as tio passed the pro secutor's windows he obtrusively exhibited the placards towards them, After warning him several times that unless he went away he must take him into custody, the prisoner suddenly stopped, and continued to mark time" in a military manner with his feet, but without advancing more than a yard in several minutes; and as he persisted in this conduct he secured him, and whilst conveying him to the station house, the prisoner re peated his cries of " French invasion!" until they reached Finsbury-square, when the other prisoner, Richardson, presented himself, and repeatedly addressing the mob with the exclamation, "Do you call this justice?" pressed upon the police with such violence that it re quired the efforts of several constables to keep him back. The prisoner, however, again thrust himself in front ut the crowd, and turning round to them exclaimed, " that it was a shame that the man should go to prison for no thing," with other violent observations. In cross-examination the witness said that he had known the prisoner Richardson for many years as one of the workmen in Messrs. Caslon's type-foundry, and that the other prisoner was employed in the same capa city by another extensive firm. In answer to a question from Mr. IlembaLL, the in spector said that he had also seen another ma❑ in the crowd, exhibiting similar placards, but that he instantly disappeared on finding that the prisoners had been taken into custody. Mr. Childs, for the defence, said it would be unneces sary to call any further evidence, as there had been quito enough to show that the proceedings of the deleodstit had been wholly irregular, and amounted to a breach of the law, but they had acted under the erroneous impres sion that us long as they kept moving about the p dice had no authority to interfere with them; and if the ma gistrate would take a lenient view of the case, he fel as sured that, under his advice, such conduct would nevar again be repeated. Mr. liemmlLL ordered both prisoners to find substan tial bail for their peaceable behaviour for the next three months; in addition to a penalty of Os. upo❑ the pri soner Richardson fur obstructing the police and inciting to a rescue. WESTMINSTER. John Gould, a toll-collector in the employ of the Vauxhall-bridge Company, was charged with having caused the death of Albert Arthur Towers, a child be tweenseven and eight y ears o f age, under circumstances of a peculiarly heart-rending description. It appeared from the evidence of Emily Jackson and Catherine Foulsham, two girls, that on Monday, the 22d of July, at about five in the evening, the child, who was the son of a very respectable elderly man named Tow ers, a warder at Toothill-fields Bridewell, was crossing the Vauxhall-bridge -road, apparently coming from school, when a quantity of boiling water was thrown out of the window of the toll•house at the corner of Roches ter-row, which fell upon the child, who was shockingly ealded. There was at the time no other person In the toll-house but the accused, who, hearing the child's screams, came out and expressed his regret at what bad happened. The child was immediately taken by a baker , •ppusite into his house, and subsequently to the h ouse of its par e nts. One of th e girls, in giving her evrdence, alleged that she had heard the words " I have caught u at last," at the time the water was thrown; but, , ip,.n being pressed upon this point, she could only say hat she heard sum, thing about " last,' and had taken it o moan "I have caught you at last." Henry Pauling, 185 B, proved hearing the child's :creams, and going to the spot, when the accused in f coned him ,hat he had thrown the water out of the rindow into an angle outside the toll house, where they tirew rubbish. There was nothing to prevent the public passing over the place so described. •---- ~ ------- Mr. G.
