• THE CORE TRADE. (From the Mark-lane Express.) With the exception of a few partial showers in different parts of the country , the weat h er has continued uninterruptedly fine ; harvest operations have conse quently been rapidly proceeded with, and in most of the southern counties the bulk of the c o n! has been carried. In the north or England there is still a considerable quantity of griln abroad ; but the lately experienced sunny days have brought the crops forward amazingly, and in situations where, a month back, it was feared the corn would never arrive at maturity, the sickle has lately been actively employed. On the whole, our pros pects as to the future have undergone an immense im provement since the 20th of August, but to suppose that the evil effects of a decidedly wet summer have been entirely remedied would be altogether unreasonable. That a great proportion of the wheat of this year growth will be of inferior quality, and light weight, is unquestionable ; nor is it possible that the defi ciency from the defective set of the ear, so gene rally complained of, can have been made good ; we must therefore adhere to the opinioa already expressed on former occasions, viz., that besides the falling off in meal in consequence of the want of weight and otherwise inferior raveling properties of the berry, the acreable produce will be found short of an average. It is yet too early to form anything like an accurate estimate as to the extent of the deficiency. Many parties rate it much shove what we are inelined to do, and others deny that the crop will fall at all below an average ; in this state of uncertainty we feel inclined to reserve our opinion until something more definite shall have been ascertained by the test of thrashing than is at present known ; but that there is a deficiency, to a greater or less extent, we feel perfectly convinced. Public opinion has lately been so much occupied in investigating the result of the wheat harvest that domparatively little is said of spring corn or pulse, but in the absence of com plaints it is fair to infer that there is not, much amiss either as regards quality or quantity. In judging of the probable value of wheat during the ensuing winter, the injury which potatoes have suffered in many of these districts where this article is most ex tensively grown must not be overlooked. Until lately the blight, or to whatever else the failure is attributable, was supposed to have extended no further than the south of England and the Channel Laands. Within the last week, however, complaints have reached us from Lin colnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Yorkshire, from which it would appear that the extent of the ravages made by the disease is not yet ascertained. Considering how large a portion of food of all classes consists of potatoes, so ex tensive a failure must be regarded as a great calamity. Already prices have risen considerably, and it is certain that if the mischief should prove anything like so extensive as it is represented to be, the consumption of bread stuffs must be increased enormously. These considerations lead to the conclusion, that though no material advance may occur in quotations of wheat immediately, the article may hereafter rise in value. In speaking of potatoes, we omitted to mention one important fact, viz., that orders have been received here from Holland and Belgium for the pur chase of the article at very high rates, whilst their ex port has been prohibited by the Government of the last named country. We have heard it reported, on good authority, that a contract has already been closed at Poole to ship 1,000 tons to Holland. The export of agricultural produce from England to the Continent is certainly a new feature. The wheat trade has, since our last, assumed a firm tone, and at several of the leading provincial markets slightly enhanced terms have been obtained for fine qualities ; the advance insisted on by sellers has, how ever, tended to check the demand, and the actual trans actions have been rather on a restricted wale. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, only a retail business was done in wheat, but the sales effected were at rates ld. to 2d. per 701 b. above those of that day se'nnight ; subse quently the inquiry rather subsided, but the advance %%as well maintained on Friday. The accounts from the principal town in Yorkshire are not of a very lively character. Neither at Hull nor Leeds was any rise on former terms established on Tues day ; there was, however, much less anxiety to press sales than lad been apparent the preceding week. At Wakefield, on Friday, holders of wheat demanded ls. to 2s. per quarter more for the best qualities, and the im provement was in some instances realised. From the 'west and north-wee.t we have advices of ad vancing prices. At Bristol, on Thursday, new wheat was quoted from ss. 91. to 6s. 3d. per 601 b., being a rise on previous terms. At Birmingham, on the same day, holders declined selling except at Is. to 2s. per quarter above the currency of that day week, and needy buyers were under the necessity of paying the enhancement. At the chief shipping ports on the east coast the turn has also been against the purchaser, and on the whole a decided check may be said to have been given to the downward movement. By our letters from Scotland it appears that the wea ther had continued auspicious for bringing the cops to maturity ih the backward districts, and securing those in the more forward localities. There, a 3 with us, the wheat is stated to be short in quantity and indifferent in quality; but complaints as to potatoes are, we are happy to say, comparatively rare. The idvices from Ireland are also, happily, silent on the subject of the potato blight. Business in grain had, it appeared, remained quiet, as well in the Scotch as the Irish markets ; but consider ae.ile firmness had been displayed by the holders of wheat oats, and prices had rather tended upwards than o itemise in both countries. The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land carriage simples from the home counties has been trifling, and the greater part of what has come to hand has been of this year's growth. On Wednesday the Kent s tands were nearly bare, and from Essex and Suffolk only a few runs were shown. The new wheat, though by no means of fine quality, was more sought after than old, owing to the price of the former being somewhat below that of the latter. B.,th kinds were held at fully the currency of Monday last, and at the close of business little remained unsold. On Friday increased firmness was displayed by fan tora ; they could not succeed, however, in obtaining any advance on former terms. Malt has latterly become very difficult of disposal, and only choice samples have this week obtained former terms, it having been necessary to submit to a small abatement to effect sales of the common runs. The total arrival of ()its, inclusive of foreign, has amounted to 11,662 quarters. Of this quantity 850 quarters are from our own coast, 781 quarters from Ireland, and the remaining 10,031 quarters from abroad. The bare state of the market, the failure in the potato crop, and the probability that oatmeal will therefore be more extensively used than in ordinary years, have combined to give an impetus to prices of oats, and within the last few weeks good qualities have risen Is. to Is. dd. par quarter. Of English and Scotch feed there are scarcely any to be had. The best sorts of Irish have therefore been taken by consumers, whilst the dealers have been compelled to have recourse to free foreign. Archangel oats, which were currently sold on the Ist inst. at 20s. 6d. per quarter from on board ship, duty paid, have this week commanded 21s. 6d. to 225. per quarter ; and Danish, Swedish, &c., have risen in value to nearly the same extent. As yet there is not much prospect of a decline in the duty, but unless in creased supplies shortly reach us, there is some probabi lity of a fall occurring. The arrivals of English beans have about kept pace with the demand, and no quotable variation has occurred in prices. Peas of all descriptions have been firmly held at the currency of Monday. Most of the bonded peas on the market have been bought for Shipment to Holland ; the rise which took place in the duty on Thursday is there fore of little impnrtanco. SUICIDE IN A STATION-HOUSE.-FELO-DE-SE On Monday evening, at the conclusion of the inquiry relativ, to the melancholy death of Mrs. Theobald, of Eltham Lodge, near. Hounslow, Mr. Mills, the deputy coroner, proceeded to the Greyhound, at Staines, to hold an inquest on the body of Matthew Bond, aged seventyethree, who destroyedhimself in the police-station at the lait-named place, under the follow ing circumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence that the deceased, though old in years, was as old in crime, and had been frequently convicted of felony, by which, it would seem, he carried on his miserable existence. On Friday night last, about twelve o'clock, the policeman on duty near the premises of Mr. Harris, farmer, in the above village, discovered the deceased emerging from an outhouse. He immediately went up to him, and on laying hold of his collar, be dropped from beneath his coat a fowl, which, on subsequent inspection, proved to be the property of Mr. Harris. Deceased, on being conveyed to the station-house, was locked up in a cell by himself. The man on duty during the night looked in se veral times and saw frothing wrong ; but on the cell being enteved in the morning, deceased was discovered with his handkerchief tied tightly round his neck and fastened to the gas pipe, which passel about half way along the wall. The handkerchief was extended, and the deceased was lying on his : stomach on the floor. He was immediately extricated from his position and a medical man sent for, who pro nounced life to have been for some time extinct. It further appeared that the deceased had never evinced any symptoms of insanity, and the only reason assigned for his committing the rash act was the fear of being sent out of the country. The jury having deliberated fbr some time on the evidence ad duel, returned a verdict of felo de se, in accordance with whiah the body of the deceased was last night buried by torchli g h t , and without funeral rights.

DEFFORD, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. - At eleven o'clock this morning the coroner and jury re-assembled. The first witness called was Joseph Bromage, an agricultural labourer, residing at Def ford-1 heard of the accident, he said. and saw John Murphy about the line on that night. I was waiting for the third class train to go to Eckington, as my master was ill, and while waiting I saw John Murphy with his light ; but he was gone before the train came up. He was waiting for the down train, I think. He was standing on the platform and walking up and down the line. Soon after I saw a train coming up loaded with iron. It was coming as fast as I ever saw one go on this line. That train passed the station, and the engine was upset, and turned on its side. The other engine (the down train) I saw thrown across the " metals" (the rails). It was all in a minute. I saw no empty truck standing, but it was a dark night. I saw one of the car riages on fire. I saw the passenger (down) train. Some of its carriages were knocked to pieces ; two, I think. I saw one on fire. I did not render assistance to any of the pas sengers. I saw no other light than Murphy's till afterwards. The station lamps on the platform were lit. I was on the platform several minutes before the luggage train came up. If there had been a lamp placed on the opposite platform I might not have seen it ; I did not see it. I saw no light near the bridge. There might have been one. I did not see Murphy when the accident took place, and do not recollect hearing any whistle. I did not see the driver of the goods train, as I did not take much notice. It was not particularly dark. I know Mr. Dore, who resides at the station-house. I had the ticket from him several minutes before the train came up. I received it in the office. He could see the rail way from the door, but not from the counter, I think. f3y the jury—Murphy seemed to be expecting the train from Spetchley. I did not see the goods train till it ca-te to the bridge. I did not see any lights except what John Murphy held, and the station lamps. I don't know Edward Shaw, but I heard some one halloo, and say, "If they would'nt stop, d— ye go on then." That was by the shed where they load the pods. I heard no one call out in the direction of the bridge. By Mr. Whateley—There might have been 20 lights on the bridge towards Eckington and I not have seen them. By the ConoNEit—When in that shed you can't see up and down, for you can't see through the end of it. If a man had been at the bridge I could not have seen him. I was quite sober. I could not have seen a man if he had been waving his light towards Eckington. Testimonials as to the excellent character of Ward (one of the deceased) were here handed in by Mr. Sanders, the secre tary to the Company. They were inadmissible as evidence, as the handwriting could not be sworn to in consequence of the length of time that had elapsed since they were written. There was no doubt of their authenticity. Mr. Whateley also said he had additional evidence of the signal light having been placed on the mail-train; but before the witness was sworn, Mr. M'Connell wished to explain some part of his previous evidence by stating that he did not think thirty miles an hour a dangerous rate of speed, but that he did not recommend more than twenty miles. By the Foreman—When the engine-driver is attending to his business he is enabled to keep a good look out, though I admit that a third person stationed there for the purpose of looking out would be an advantage and a precaution ; there would, however, be disadvantages connected with it. All active drivers are enabled to look out. The place for such a third person, if appointed, would be on the front of the first carriage. Mr. Charles Mealen, of Pershore, sworn—l am a market gardener, and frequently bring vegetables to this station. I know Mr. Dore, the superintendent there. In a conversation with him he has said that Joseph Ward has passed by the signals. (This line of evidence, however, was stopped, as inadmissible.) I have bad occassion to complain of my goods not being properly transmitted. I wrote to Mr. Payn, the manager, at Birmingham, bat never had an answer. I have known the goods trains frequently behind time. Mr. Dore, the superintendent, was next called, and Mr. Mealen, repeated in his presence that Mr. Dore had told him of Ward's neglect of signals, in defiance of the rules. Mr. Whateley put no questions or explanations, as he said it was not evidence. Mr. Dore was then sworn. He said : I recollect the special goods train coming in on the night of the 30th of August. I cannot recollect whether there was any lamp attached behind it to signify that another special train was arriving. I did not see one behind the mail train, as I was in the office. There ought and may have been a lamp behind the goods train, as well as behind the mail ; but we were fully pre pared for any train that was to come up. I never had occa sion to report Joseph Ward. I did not know the man. I never mentioned Ward's name to the last witness. I have mentioned other men. By the jury—l am sorry to say that signals have been dis regarded. I remember five or six occasions in about a year and half. I have not in all instances reported engine -drivers, as when I had done so on many occasions I had received no answer. But my impression was that my reports had not reached the proper quarter, as, in general, on minor matters, I have been atttended to. My reason for not re porting every instance was, that my reports had only got cir culated among the guards and others, and made me obnox ious to them. The reports had not got to the proper quarter. Some of them I had addressed to Mr. Humphrey Brown, and others to Mr. M'Connell, who succeeded him. I cannot state the names of the drivers I reported. I merely gave the number of the engine, and the time I sent the reports by the guard of a following train. (The inquest is expected to terminate late to night.) LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, Sept. 17. (Before Baron Pram) THE QUEEN V. THE WEEKLY DISPATCH. This was an application for a procedendo against Mr. Ashley, the publisher of — the Weekly Dispatch. Mr. Wilde supported, and Mr. Ballantine opposed the application. Last June an action was taken by Henry Austin Sherwood against Mr. Ashley, as the publisher of the Weekly Dispatch, for an alleged libel contained in a police report. The plaintiff dropped the action and sent up a bill of indictment against Mr. Ashley to the grand jury at the late sittings of the Central Criminal Court. The bill was found, and a judge's warrant issued against Mr. Ashley, who was arrested late at night in the office, and could not be bailed until the following day. He then moved the case by a writ of certiorari to the Court of Queen's Bench. Subsequently the plaintiff issued a sum mons for the defendant to show cause why the writ of certiorari should not be set aside, and a procedendo granted. Baron PLATT, having yesterday heard counsel on both sides, dis missed the summons, as defendant's pleas were under a new Act of Parliament, the 6th and 7th Vic. c. 96, which might give rise to points of law that would demand attention of the full Court of Queen's Bench. His Lordship also observed that the course of jus tice would not be interfered with by the writ of certiorari, as the nature of defendant's recognisances bound him to the plea of guilty, which he necessarily pleaded in the Central Criminal Court. Mr. WILDE applied for costs, which were peremptorily refused by the Learned Baron. CENTRAL CRINANAL COURT. oLD COURT. THEFT FROM MADAME FORGEOT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) _ Mr. Ciesicsok, after stating the case to the jury, called Madame Forgeot, who stated that the female prisoner had been in h. , : service at the time of robbery. She (the prosecutrix) had a jewel• box in her hod-room which contained, among other things, a 50/. note. Upon opening her box, she discovered the note had been taken from the box. I immediately spoke to the prisoner White concerning my loss, but she denied all knowledge of it. I was in the habit of leaving the key of my box in the bed-room, and the female prisoner had free access to the room. I left town for Paris on the 31st August, without finding or getting any clue to the reco very of the lost note. After several other witnesses had been examined, Mr. Justice FILE summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. Mary White was sentenced to be transported for the term of ten years, and James M`Mahon to be imprisoned in the House of Cor rection, with hard labour, for twelve calendar months. ttr Mbition THE FUNDS.---(CLOSING PRICES ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.

THE NORWICH FESTIVAL. NORWICH, SErr. 17.—The first concert took place yester day evening. It opened with " God save the Queen," the first verse sung as a solo, by Miss Poole; the second, as a trio, by Hobbs, Hawkins, and Machin ; and the third, by Madame Caradori Allan. The effect of the chorus was ex tremely.grand. Alexander's Feast followed, forming the first part of the concert. This composition was perhaps never better performed. They played the music with the true ex pression and the utmost _precision, and, in the accompani ments, did not overbear the voices. The vocal parts were sung by Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Machin, Herr Staudigl, and a fine chorus of about 200 voices. Mr. Hobbs eang his portions of the ode very chaste ly ; his voice is scarcely of sufficient power to fill the hall, but he sings with great expression, and delivers Handel's compo sitions in the legitimate style. Mr. Hawkins, a true Han delian, acquitted himself uncommonly well. Machin had very little to do, but that little was admirably executed ; as was the portion allotted to Herr Staudigl, who gave the song which Bartleman was once so famous for, "Revenge, Timo theus cries," in a firm and energetic style, and with wonder ful power. It was the first time this excellent vocalist had been heard in Norwich ; and he was very enthusiastically applauded. The ladies were in fine voice, and sang delight fully. The great charm, after all, in Alexander's Feast is the choruses. " The many rend the skies with loud applause," is one of the most elaborately-worked out of them. As usual, Mr. Lindley played the violoncello obligato to Hobbs's recitative and air, " Softly sweet, in Lydian measures," and this, as well as the others, went well. . The second part contained a very good miscellaneous selection. It opened with Mozart's symphony in G minor, an exquisite composition, finely played. The parts were not repeated. Madame Caradori Allan sang an air from Ida ddle Torre, an opera by Nini, very charmingly. The song from Mozart's Il Seraglio, " Hat wic will ich triumphiesen," was magnificently given by Staudigl, and encored. Madame Grisi then made her debut at the Norwich Festival. Her reception was most cordial, and she sung " Bel raggio," from Semiramide, in her usual brilliant style. The applause was very great at the conclusion. In the next piece, the beauti ful trio from Guilliau►txe Tell, " Troncar suoi di." Mario and F. Lablache also made their first appearance at these festi vals. The trio was completed by Staudigl. Master Day then played one of De Beriot's concertos (No. 3), on the violin, and was warmly applauded. Schubert's " Ave Maria," was most expressively sung by Mario. Miss Poole then sang Benedict's pleasing song, " By the dark sea waves," from the Brides of Venice, delightfully. The exquisite duet, " Sull aria," which was exquisitely sung by Grisi and Cara dori Allan, and it would have been encored but for the late ness of the hour. A cavatina of George Linley's, " The forest glade," introduced Miss Dolby to the festival. She accom panied herself on the pianoforte, and sung it admirably. The buffa duet, "Cop pazienza" (Madame Grisi and Signor F. Lablache) ; the aria, "Tu vedrai" (Signor Mario) ; and the polacca and quartet, from I Puritani (Madame Grisi, Signor Mario, Signor F. Lablache, and Herr Staudigl), concluded the concert at a quarter past twelve o'clock. Although the evening was very unfavourable, there were quite as many persons in the hall as on the first night in 1842, and no fears are entertained of the success of the festival. The Bishop of Norwich and party, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Colburne, the Deans of Norwich and Ely, Edmund Wode house, Esq., M.P., and a large number of fashionables were present. COURT CIRCULAR. His Royal Highness Prince Albert accompanied her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager from Osborne House, on Tuesday afternoon, to Cowes.

It is intended to form a direct communication from the seaport of Southend to Chelmsford, there crossing the Eastern Counties, and proceeding to the north-west of Dunmow, and forming a junction with the Northern and Eastern at or near Saffron Walden. Branches are projected from the main line at Rochford to Burnham, a good seaport; from Great Baddow to Maldon, from Dunmow to Braintree and Coggleshall, to join the Eastern Counties at Marks Tey, and from Dunmow to Bishops Stortford. The line runs nearly at a right angle with the Eastern Counties, affording com munication from the south-west to the north-east portions of the county, also connecting the Thames, by a direct line, via Ely, with the principal northern and manufacturing counties. The arguments adduced in favour of the scheme were ge nerally of the same character as those mooted at the meeting at Chelmsford on the 12th inst. The meetings, after hearing the several statements of the promoter:, adopted a series of resolutions approving of the undertaking as being calcu lated to improve the trade of the county, and determined upon consulting the acting provisional committee, with a view of appointing provisional committees for their respec tive districts. SALE OF RAILWAY SHARES IN COMPANIES NOT COMPLETELY REGISTERED. It hai been a question much debated amongst respectable stockbrokers, and others deeply interested in railway stock, whether the sale of shares, represented by letters of allot ment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, in companies only pro visionally registered, is or is not legal, under the new Joint stock Companies' Act, which came into operation on the Ist of November last. It is very much to the credit of the members of the Manchester Stock Exchange—which, as a body, we believe, stands high for the careful conduct of its business—that they should have taken the best possible course to set this question at rest. Through their solicitors, Messrs. Sale and Worthington, the Manchester Stock Ex change proposed a case for legal opinion, and we have been favoured by these gentlemen with a copy of the queries, and of the answers thereto given by the authorities consulted. When we state that those authorities are amongst the lead ing counsel at the English bar, namely, Sir Frederick The siger, the Attorney-General ; Mr. Ogle, of the Western ; and Mr. Cowling, c f the Northern Circuit, we need say no more to recommend their deliberate opini ns (for we under stand that the Attorney-General had the case before him some time, for the express purpose of giving it his most care ful consideration), to the serious attention of all connected with railways, and especially to the Boards of Provisional Directors of Companies established since the Ist of November last. The following is a copy of the case :- 1. Whether as to the Companies established before the Ist of November last, and therefore not within the provisions of the new Act (7th and Bth Victoria, chap. 110), the sale of letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, or any of them, is legal ? We are of opinion that sales of letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, and scrip, issued by companies esta blished before, the Ist of November last, are not within the provisions of the statute 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 110, and that, consequently, the sales of such documents are legal. 2. Whether railway companies are within the restrictions as to the sale or transfer of shares, or other restrictive clauses of the above Act; and if so, whether, after provisional re gistration, and before complete registration, the sale of letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, is legal or illegal? We are of opinion that railway companies established after the Ist of November last, are within the restrictions con tained in the 26th section of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110, and we think that sales of letters of allotment, bankers' re ceipts, and scrip, attempted to be made after the provi sional, but before the complete registration of the company, are illegal. 3. Whether, after complete registration, but before ob taining an Act of Parliament, the sale of such scrip (as scrip will then have been issued, and then of scrip only), is legal or illegal ? \Ve are of opinion that sales, after complete registration, of scrip issued by railway companies established subsequently to the Ist of November last, are legal. It is evident from the latter portion of the 25th section, that the Legislature in tended that railway companies, on complete registration, and before the Act of Incorporation, or other Act giving autho rity for executing the works, should have all those powers conferred by the first part of the section, which are most qualified or retained by the latter part; and we do not find anything either in that, or in the preceding section, from which it is to be collected that the Legislature intended to render illegal sales of scrip by such companies, until their Acts of incorporation should be obtained. 4. If the sale of scrip, after complete registration, be legal, whether it is not the duty of the Provisional Directors to lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu ments, at the registry office, so as to obtain a certificate of complete registration, and thus enable scripholders to sell scrip ? \Ve consider it to be the duty of the 'Provisional Directors to lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu ments, at the office, for the purpose of obtaining a certificate of complete registration. 5. If the restrictive clauses of the Act do not apply to rail way companies, whether the sale of letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, be or be not illegal, notwithstand ing they are so excluded? Being of opinion that the restrictive clauses of 7 and 8 Vic., c. 110, apply to railway companies formed after the Ist of November last, it only remains for us to observe, that as to companies established before the Ist of November, we do not think, independently of the statute, that the sale of letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, Would be legal. FRED. THESIGER. Inner Temple, Sept. 12, 1845. RICHD. OGLE. The same queries have been submitted to Mr. Cowling, who has given a similar opinion. Manchester Guardian. THE LATE FIRE at SIR CHARES PRICE'S. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, AND OFFICIAL REPORT. From an early hour yesterday morning until late last evening a large concourse of persons continued to assemble in William-street, Blackfriars, the scene of the late dreadful fire, many for the purpose of inquiring as to whether or not any other bodies had been found. Notwithstanding the strong fears that were apprehended at one time that several parties had lost their lives by plunging into the water, it is now generally believed that every man who was immersed was afterwards rescued. Two hats only remain at the police-station which have not yet been owned, and the reporter yesterday was In company with a gentleman who lost his hat whilst jumping from one of the burning barges into a boat, and returning home he had neglected to call at the station-house for the same• The only doubt that now remains is whether the owner of the otherhat had perished; it is, however, quite probable that he was saved in a similar way to the other party. Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday a male and female called at the Bridewell Hospital, and requested permission to see the remains of the man who had perished, as they had lost a brother, and knowing that he was assisting in working one of the engines, they were fearful that he was burnt. Thst request was immediately complied with, when they identified the remains as being those of their relative, a young man named George Spencer, of Black Bear-alley, Farringdon-street. The state of the parties upon seeing the blackened mass of all that remained of their brother can be more easily imagined than described. The poor fellow, it appears, was one of many who occasionally earn a few shillings by calling the firemen to and working the engines at fires. A man named Wilford, who was working at the same engine, said that he was talking to the unfortunate fellow, when all of a sudden the fire rushed out of the wiado as and through the doorway, completely enveloping the whole of the men who were then working. Such was the fury of the blazing turpentine, that before they had let go their hold of the engine the machine became ignited, and they were forced to jump into the stream—the only place they could run to escape being burnt to death. He noticed Spencer running at the same moment with himself, but the passage not being sufficiently wide for all to pass at the same time, the deceased must have been driven by the flames into the corner where the remains were found. Seine idea of the extent of the fire may be formed when it is stated that at one time there were between forty and fifty puncheons of turpentine, from eight to ten tons of cod oil, and a quantity of other oils in a thorough state of ignition. The former article was kept in large wooden vessels, lined with lead, and there is no doubt that, as the lire reached those compartments, they exploded, and to that cause may be attributed the rapid progress of the flames. Mr. Inspector Woodruffe, and a gentleman named Richmond, of Broadway, Lud gate-hill, had both very narrow escapes, and one of the firemen, named Hitchin, who was standing on a ladder directing the water through one of the upper windows, was blown down by the explosion of one of the cisterns of turpentine. Although every inquiry has since been instituted as to the origin of the disaster, nothing that could be depended upon could be learned. Some parties imagine that the flames arose from a spontaneous igni tion, and others that it was caused by a flue in the cooperage—this department is under that portion of the premises where the fire was first perceived. The total damage done it is at present impossible to tell; but it is believed to be under 10,0001. The following is a copy of Mr. Super intendent Braidwood's official report : " Tuesday, Sept. 16, forty minutes past one r.se.—A fire broke out on the premises belonging to Sir Chas. Price and Co., William-street, Blackfriars.—Cause of fire unknown. The turpentine warehouse and contents destroyed on west side of wharf. The windows burnt out, and roof considerably damaged, of oil warehouse on the east side of premises. Most part of cooperage and stock at the water side severely damaged. Insured in the West of England and Imperial Fire-offices for stock ; the buildings, which belong to the Bridewell Hospital, it is unknown at present whether or not they are insured. " C. Hoppe, Pig Quay Coal Wharf.—Counting-house severely damaged. Three or four barges extensively scorched, and one sunk. Insured for stock in trade in the Licensed Victuallers'-office. "Messrs. Capel, coal-merchants.—Windows burned out of count ing-house, and several barges damaged by fire, &c. Insured in the Phoenix Fire-office." The fire was extinguished by engines belonging to the parish, the Bridewell, nine land engines, with a floating one belonging to the London Establishment, and the West of England and County ones, with their firemen'and assistants.

EDINBURGH, TuEsray.—Yesterday, a special meeting of the Proprietors was held in the Saloon of Gibbs's Royal Hotel, to consider the expediency of constructing extensions from the main line to Markinch and Leven ; Mr. John Lear month, of Dean, Chairman of the Directors, presiding. Mr. LEES, the Company's Secretary, read the Directors' report, which stated that the engineers' estimate cf the cost of the proposed extension was 250,0001., to which it is pro posed to add 10,0001., making the capital 260,0001. In ad dition to these two branches, the Directors recommended that a branch be formed from the Lochgelly coal-fields to the har bour of Kirkaldy, an undertaking which had been proposed, and nearly the whole capital required had been raised by the most influential gentlemen in that town, who had, however, handed it over to th e Edi n b urg h an d Northern Company. The Directors recommended that the capital sum to be raised for the execution of these different works should be 390,0001., and that by the creation of 26,000 shares of 151. each—a sum which would afford a convenient division, and would be more than sufficient to meet the cost of the branches, and therefore render it unnecessary to call upi the whole amount of the shares. They also proposed that the shares be divided amongst the registered Share holders of the Company, and the holders of the scrip for the 15/. Newport Extension shares in the fol lowing proportions, viz. :—One new share to every two of the 251. shares, and one new share to every three of these exten sion shares. A report by Mr. Grainger, engineer, was also read as to the branch to East Anstruther. It recommended that a double line of rails should be formed from Markinch to Large, and only a single rail thence to the eastern terminus. The-e were no engineering difficulties in the way ;no tunnel ling or extensive embankments, and the gradients easy. Viewing the undertaking as a whole, Mr. Grainger consi dered that either with reference to passengers, or to the mi neral wealth of the district, it would farm an important feeder to the Edinburgh and Northern. The CHAIRMAN, in commenting on the recommendation contained in the report, said the proposed line would be about twenty miles in length, and running as it would through the manufacturing districts of Fife, from Leven inward towards Leslie, while it would prove remunerative as a feeder to the mainline, it would not pay as a separate undertaking. Propo sals had also been made, and the Directors would hold them in consideration, for branches westward from Leven to Buck haven and the Wemysses. The Directors had also under taken to form a branch from the coal-fields of Loch gelly to Kirkaldy and its harbour, and there was a prospect of another company joining with it a line from Dunfermline, so as to connect the Edinburgh and North ern with the lines westward towards Alloa and Stirling. The Directors had also undertaken to lease the proposed new line from Perth to Crieff, which ran through a populous dis trict destitute of coal and lime, the parties themselves having made overtures of lease. It was seventeen miles long, and would, like the before-named extensions, prove of great ad vantage to the company. The Board had attended the sale of the Tay ferries at Dundee, prepared to give a large price for them ; but the Exchequer Law Commissioners preferred disposing of them to the Dundee Banking Company, who had agreed to pay the Exchequer the full amount of its debt. The ferry trustees and authorities at Dundee approved of the railway company's intentions, and it remained to be seen whether the banking company, for a more advantageous bar gain, might not be inclined to put them at the railway com pany's disposal, seeing that the latter had it in their power materially to affect the ferry revenues. There had been a renewed proposal for creating a bridge over the Tay at New burgh, at from 100,000/. to 120,000/. ; and a survey had been made with the view of making one of the high level kind of bridges, so as to meet the objections of the Admiralty. The Edinburgh and Northern ought to join in the formation of the bridge, as another party was willing to undertake the work. A further extension from Newburgh to Kinross was in hand. These were not times to stand still, and the Directors would not lose sight of the advantages to be derived from the branches to Newport, opposite Dundee, and to St. Andrew's, to the north coast traffic of the Tay ferries. Should not an arrangement be come to for crossing these ferries, other means would be de vised for doing so. In regard to the new shares, one share had been given to every 451., and one to every 501. The Earl of LEVEN and MELVILLE seconded the adoption of the report, and intimated his cordial approval of the re commendations contained in it. Provost Nicol., Cupar, approved of all the proposed branches with the exception of the one from Leven to An struther. He could not see how it would pay. It was a length of fourteen miles, the population was only 1,000, and there were no manufactures. It was difficult to conceive how a bridge could be constructed over the Tay high enough for vessels, owing to the lowness of the banks ; and it was well known that sometimes in a winter storm th island of Mug drum was surrounded with ice twelve feet thick, and in an event of that kind, either the Carse of Gowrie would be inundated, or the bridge broken. It was perfectly Fifish to carry a line from Leven to Anstruther. If the Edinburgh and Northern remained as it was it would be the second best paying line north of the Tweed, but if such drags were put . on it, it would be difficult to surmise the result. • The Earl of LEVEN replied that the Directors at present only required power to examine into the feasibility of these new schemes. Mr. WHITE MELVILLE, of Mount Melville, agreed in what had fallen from Provost Nicol. The CHAIRMAN said that all the Directors required was power to entertain these matters. They would not go to Parliament if it was inexpedient. The bridge at Mugdrum would be built, if not by the Edinburgh and Northern, by others, and as much of the traffic of the line would have to cross the bridge if it remained entirely in the bands of an other party, they would impose a heavy pontage. The project, moreover, would have to pass the ordeal of the Ad miralty, and of the inhabitants of Perth. After some discussion, in which Mr. Alexander M'Neill, advocate, Mr. Speers, Mr. Craigie, and Mr. John Gibson, joined, the r eso l u ti ons empowering the Directors to apply to Parliament for the proposed extensions in the ensuing session, and to raise for the purpose a further capital of 390,0004 by 26,000 new shares of 15/. each, one new share for every 25/. stock, and one new share to the holder of every three shares of the 15/. Newport Extension stock, were carried unanimously. GLASGOW AND GREENOCK. The half-yearly general meeting of the Proprietors was held at Greenock on Monday. Mr. Archibald Falkener, Deputy Chairman, presiding. Mr. Jois/ ANDERSON, the Company's accountant, read the report. It alluded to the lines—the Caledonian, Clydesdale Junction, Barrhead and Neilston, &c.—which had obtained Acts during the past session of Parliament, and which, con necting this line with all parts of Scotland and England, would greatly increase its traffic; besides the prospect, at no distant period of a continuation line to Gourock, Innerkip, and Largs, and subsequently farther into Ayrshire. Also the increased traffic by water in connexion with the line—a first class steamer for Liverpool, and another from Belfast, being now on these stations in direct communication with the rail. way. Instead, therefore, of the Greenock line being an iso lated one, it would now become a part of a great chain of communication by land and water with all parts of the coun try, and especially between the mineral districts and the har bours of Greenock. The receipts had been larger than during any previous half-year, the balancebeing 13,054/. 13s. ; but it would not be desirable greatly to increase the divi dend for the present, but rather to increase the efficiency of the works and machinery. The dividend proposed was six per cent. upon the preference shares, and two per cent.. upon the original. The capital account showed an expenditure of 806,1341., and a balance in hand of 34,8631. The receipts for the past half-year had been 25,2691., the expenditure 12,2611., leaving a balance of 13,0541. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting on the Com pany's prospects of success. The Directors did not feel war ranted in increasing the dividend, considering the efficiency of the line of greater importance. He adverted to the state ment of Mr. M‘Call, chairman of the Ayrshire Company, that that line had the exclusive right to the Barrhead and Neil ston line, and the complaint against them for interfering. He found no fault with the Ayrshire Directors for putting their own construction upon the Act ; but the Greenock Directors would be found right. On the motion of Mr. THOMAS TURNER, the report was adopted. The forfeiture of certain shares, on the motion of Mr. J. TURNER, seconded by Mr. PAINTER, was confirmed. Mr. P. M. STEWART, M.P., congratulated the meeting on the prospects held out in the report; and was followed to the same effect by Mr. WurrmonE, of London. Thanks, on the motion of Captain OSBORNE, were awarded to the Chairman and Directors. STRATFORD AND THAMES JUNCTION.—This line, which is to form a junction with the River Thames, near the mouth of the Lea, with a terminus near the junction of the North Eastern with the Eastern Counties at Stratford, is expected to be completed in about six months. During the past week a number of labourers have been employed in excavating that portion of the line nearest the Thames, and on Monday the work was so far advanced as to admit of temporary rails being laid down. In the road leading from Stratford to Bow, several houses have been pulled down to make room for the terminus ; and also for the purpose of a bridge being built, the railway passing under the high road at this part. In making the excavations across the marshes a portion of West Ham Abbey, lying under ground, has been disturbed. THE THAMES, SOUTHEND, AND NORTHERN AND EASTERN JUNCTION.—In the course of the week the promoters of this scheme have attended meetings at Bishops Stortford, Saffron Walden, DUIIMOIT, and Braintree, for the purpose of explain- kV ---" -5i.......... ...------ THE BEST APERIENT AND ANTIBILIOITS ISIEDICIN g " It GENERAL USE IS 'cli FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH win . effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by gentle r 1 0 v a ; : tion, without griping or prostration of strength.
