The subject of this inquiry was the window of the late Mr. John Johnson, formerly the landlord of the Sun Inn, in the Butcher-row, in Ledbury. Mr. Johnson died in March, 1834, and his widow, nearly ever since her husband's decease, bas been living with Davies, the accused. In 1844, Elizabeth :Johnson was landlady of the Crown and Sceptre Inn, in New street, Ledbury, where Davies and her three children—a girl by her husband, and two boys by Davies—were living with her. In the November of 1844, Davies and Mrs Johnson, with the three children, went to live in Birmingham, where they did not remain long, but removed from thence to Liverpool. In the early part of the last summer Mrs. John son died in the latter town, and Davies and the three chil dren returned to Ledburv, where Mrs. H. Meadows, a sister of deceased, kindly adopted' the girl as her own, and Davies took lodgings for the boys. Davies, however, soon after wards left Ledbury in a clandestine manner, leaving the lads totally improyided for, and they were compelled to go to the union-house. However, before they went there they made some strange disclosures about the manner in which their mother came by her death ; and their reports were con firmed by the testimony of the little girl at Malvern, adopted by Mrs. feadows. The relatives of the deceased, however, although fully believing that she came to an untimely end, took no steps to ascertain the truth of the reports they had heard, till awakened from their lethargy by a paragraph do tailing the circumstances, which appeared in the Hereford Times of the Bth instant, headed " A case which requires investigation." On the Wednesday after this paragraph appeared, Mr. William New, strongly urged by the writer of the paragraph, applied to the magistrates at petty sessions for advice, and the consequence was tbat the magistrates had the two boys from the union and examined them; and also questioned Mrs. Caroline Russell, the youngest sister of deceased, concerning some conversation she had had with the little girl at Malvern. The magistrates determined on granting a warrant for the apprehension of Davies; and on Thursday he was captured by Superintendent Shead, at Ross„ and brought to the lock up-house in Ledbury. On the following day, as we have before stated, he was taken before the magistrates named, when the examination of the children was publicly taken. They stated that on a Monday or Tuesday, previous to their coming from Liver pool (but they could not recollect the date of the occur rence), Davies and the deceased quarrelled, and that he beat her on the bead and back, and kicked her on the legs; they then proceeded to state that their mother slept with them that night, that on the morrow she was very sick and ill from the blows she had received, and that she continued to get worse and worse till the next Saturday, when she died. The children say that their mother was much bruised about the breast and bead, and had two black eyes after death, yet strange to say, though she bad a medical attendant, no in quiry was instituted at Liverpool at the time of her death. The children further say, that the doctor who attended their mother sent women to lay her out, and paid for her coffin, though she bad been resident in Liverpool but a few weeks. Indeed the case seems involved in mystery, which we hope will be cleared. After hearing the evidence of the children, the magistrates remanded the prisoner till Monday last, when he was again brought before Richard Webb, Esq., and Captain Jones; and the former magistrate, addressing the prisoner, told him the course the law pointed out for them (the magistrates) to pursue, was to send him to Liverpool to be examined before the magistrates there, who would deal with the case as they thought fit. Superintendent Shead was ordered to convey the prisoner to Liverpool, and Mr. William New (a brother of deceased) was requested to take thither the three children as witnesses.— Worcester Journal. SUICIDE FROM WANT.—forenoon, Thursday Mr. the Royal Fort Tavern, Jamaica-level, Bermondsey, William Carter, the coroner for Surrey, held an inquest at as re Pe d t ig t n itt, at af , e ro d . 1, Thomas's- 34yea re years, lopuerentietatnhefedletnaltohngoefr,Tlhmatoely residing place, tipper Grange-read, who committed suicide under the melancholy circumstances subjoined :—Mr. John Slow, one of the relieving officers of St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey,. deposed that he had known the d ec eased for several y ears. In April, 1840, deceased came under his notice as an insane person. An order was granted for his admission into the workhouse, whither he was conveyed, and remained in the lunatic ward for some time. His friends subsequently re moved him to Bethelem Hospital, in which asylum he stopped four months, when he was taken out by his relations. Deceased had been out of work for a length of time, and had been receiving out-door relief from the parish. Witness gave him relief on Monday last, at the workhouse, in Russell street. The deceased was then very dejected, and had a wife and five children dependent on him for their support. Wit ness believed that the family had been suffering great priva tion. George Pettitt, the brother of the deceased, stated he called to see him on Monday afternoon last, between one and two o'clock. The wife opened the door, and said the deceased was very ill, and had gone to bed. Witness went to the room up stairs, and there discovered him suspended to the top of the bed-post by a strong cord. Witness cut him down, and found that his throat was cut in a frightful man ner. There was a razor lying on the floor covered with blood, which had also streamed over the bedding and floor. 'Witness ran for Mr. Sharpe, the surgeon, who came with promptitude, but life was extinct. Deceased had forced a packing-needle into his breast, and inflicted a frightful wound across the stomach, and he had made other incisions about various parts of his person. Witness was of opinion that deceased had inflicted the injuries with the razor after he had suspended himself. He was formerly in the service of Messrs. Cowderoy, of Long-lane, Bermondsey, but had been out of work for a long period, which seemed to prey very heavily on his mind. Other evidence having been ad duced, the Coroner remarked at considerable length on the distressing nature of the case, after which the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." After the inquiry, the jury and several gentlemen in the room raised a subscrip tion for the immediate relief of the destitute.family, which was placed in the hands of Mr. John Slow, the summoning officer, who lost no time in handing the money over to the brAYiEfts .I.llUlaUal ....._,..- ing the second meeting under the reference made by an order of the Court of Queen's Bench to Mr. Bramwell, barrister, to ascertain in what manner the burial-ground in Spafield . s was in future to be condnct ed, was held at his chambers in the Temple. Mr. Wakeling, the vestry-clerk of St. James, Cl e rkenwell, at whose instance the prosecution was insti tuted for an alleged nuisance, against the several defendants, attended, as also Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lewis, for the other side. The first meeting was held so long ago as August last, and the Learned Gentleman, who objected to the presence of reporters, promised to ascertain by the next meeting whether they might attend, again objected, until he had made inquiry on the subject. The solicitors raised no objection, but the referee thought it incumbent on him to be advised on the matter before he granted the application. Ho commenced hearing evidence, in order to arrive at the ques tion submitted to his consideration. It is expected that se veral further meetings will take place. THE CONDEMNED PIRATES.---NO officialintims tion of the determination of the judges on the questions argued on Saturday has yet been received. We understand, however, on good authority, that the prisoners have been further respited for a fortnight, from Monday next, the 24th Instant, when the present respite will expire.— Western Lu- • .:0 1 ' - 6 d 0 - 0 1 . 1 "3 tees Pg . the dangb. v to dered in" lr • n est t o the and to g sAliv rr. the rll4mPany, t.iniactob, d 662/. 185.1., l i t now be Po' yr ACT. _ e nt of d the pitYL . . c sr.

Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight line, in the direction of Ponteland and Betsey, by Lislesburn to Woodburn on the Reed, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Horsely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Cateleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel Into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest and (except by the very circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway communication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended, by a branch from the main line at Woodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, by the Midland and shortest route. It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the proposed line the additional facility ef ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Railway Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed pro prietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed lines will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit oflime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North umberland, stretching in e a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Peebles, and Lanark ; whilst the transport of live stock from the same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish drovers, will in immediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length be. The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of Scot land, including the towns of llavrick, Jedbcome urg an h, Kelso, necessi Melroty.se, G a lashiels, Peebles ,Lan ark, &c., has be urgent And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal fies of the soak-eastern portion of Northumberlan eo, and through the ld hitherto unapproachable seams ef coal up the ur d se of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant source of revenue from its transit ; as a proof from New - of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at keavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasg is ow undertakiag, is the de - A n important feature, presented by th velopment which will thereby be afforded of extensive beds of limestone and the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially ef limestone and ironstone, the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at Hareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed line to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditions and economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, and other manufacturing towns before-mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great local-and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item of return, always aided by the consideration that the line laid down for this partswill shorten the distance from the western and many other of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flow an amount of income that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which' the Committee are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament, for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking. The subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act.

Heath (son of the Governor of the Bank of England), her Majesty's steamer Hyacinth, dated St. John's, Newfoundland, Nov. 9, 1845: '° We sailed from the Humber immediately for St. George's Bay, where we arrived at the beginning of October. Our at tention was suddenly called by a merchant brig, apparently a wreck, with her masts cut away, and aground close to the beach. Captain Scott having an appointment as magis trate, made an inquiry as to her being there in that state, and two men took an oath before him that they had been bribed to run the vessel on shore—of course with a view to defraud the underwriters. We then held a survey on the vessel, and found a hole bored right through her bottom ; and there was not the slightest doubt but that it was done purposely. Captain Scott immediately sent me with a party of armed men to arrest the bodies of the captain and mate of the vessel, a merchant who had offered the bribe, and two other men who were connected with them. I found them all in a few minutes, and brought them off. You may imagine their astonishment when they were told they were prisoners, under a charge of felony, to be conveyed to St. John's for trial. The next job was to put the brig to rights. We hauled her off shore, and got her alongside of us, jury rigged her with our own spars, and put her cargo into her, consisting of nine hundred barrels of flour, a nd nearly a hundred of pearlash ; besides which she had a great quantity of wheat in bulk. I was then put in charge of her, with a mid, master's assistant, and six men ; but she was such a beast in the way of sailing, that we were about ten days waiting for a fair wind to take us eut of the Bay of St. George, which is about fifty-six miles. We did, at a third a ttempt, get out at 1 A.M. October 21, with a slashing N.E. wind, and about six inches of snow on the deck. We continued our way, with a nice breeze and tine weather, till October 28, when it fell calm, until a light breeze sprung up from the N-E., which increased in a short time to one of the most famous gales I ever witnessed. I had very luckily taken the sail off her in time, and laid her under a close-reefed main-trysail, in which way we remained until about 11 r.ar., when a sea struck us fore and aft, carrying away the caboose and coppers, washed the long-boat and booms to leeward, and tore away the stern-boat and davits. We laid till daylight under bare poles, when it moderated a little. I then made sail again, and the next morning was most glad to sight Cape Race, about thirty miles from St. John's, which place we were off the same night, and got into the inner harbour the next day, to the great delight of every one, but particularly Captain Scott, who had great fears of our being lost. The people on shore said that hey . had not had such a violent gale for some years. . After losing our coppers, we had no means of cooking, and had, consequently, to live on raw salt perk until we arrived. I could not do it myself, but managed to support nature on biscuit and rum, but from anxiety, want of rest, and being con stantly wet, I was in such a nervous state when we arrived that I was obliged to take a room on shore with a big feather bed and a fire, which brought me round in a very few days. I calculated since , that after leavin g St. George's Bay to our arrival at St. John's, I had not slept fifteen hours in all, which was eight days. The brig was called the Rosanna, of Newcastle, 145 tons. The prisoners have had several exami nations, and have been committed for trial on a charge of felony. The master and myself were ordered up to the court-house yesterday, and had to sign recognizances of forty pounds each to appear as evidence at the trial, which will not come on until the middle ofnext month ; so if Captain Scott cannot get us off, we shall have to be left behind, as the ship must sail in a few days for Halifax and the West Indies." s roi N 9 NOVEMBER 22, 1845. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CROYDON AND EPSOM. On Thursday evening a meeting of the rate-payers of Wandsworth was held in the vestry room of the parish church, to dispose of various parochial matters, but more es pecially to receive communications from the Croydon and Epsom Railway Company, in reference to the amount offered to be paid to the parish for the purchase of a parcel of land ret)iiired by them belonging to the Carshalton estate. Die land in question forms a portion of an estate pur chased long since by the parish, out of money left by an individual known as " Beggar Smith." This eccentric cha racter begged his way to London through the county of Surrey, and in most towns, including Wandsworth, he was relieved. In Croydon and Kingston he was whipped out. He ultimately became an alderman of the City of London, and, to perpetually mark his sense of the favours he had re ceived in the early part of his life, he left, at his decease, in 1627 a sum of money, to be applied in various ways, to those parishesl that had relieved him, and an annual present of a whip to the overseers or churchwardens for the time being of Croydon and Kingston. The minutes of the last vestry having been read and con firmed, in which it was stated that the Richmond Railway Company had undertaken to give the parish 2001. for their interest in a tract of osier-ground across which this railway will pass, Mr. R. W. BARCHARD, the senior warden and chairman, stated that the churchwardens and overseers had lately re ceived a notice from the Croydon and Epsom Railway Com pany to the effect that they required a piece of ground at Carshalton which belonged to the parish, and were willing to give 20/. for the same. He and several of the parish-officers had made it their business to inspect the land alluded to, which was the corner of a common field in the occupation of Mr. Bates; and as it consisted of only twenty perches they considered that by accepting 201., which was selling it at the rate of 160/. per acre, they were obtaining a very fair price for their property, but there was an obstacle in the way which would be explained by the - vestry clerk reading the letter he had received from the Company. Mr. Upcher, the vestry clerk, then read the following communication : "47, Parliament-street, Oct. 19, 1845. "The Croydon and Epsom, and the overseers of the parish of Wandsworth.--Referring to the notice from the secretary of the Croydon and Epsom Railway Company, served upon you as vestry clerk of the parish of Wandsworth, to treat for the purchase of twenty perches of arable common land, situated in the parish of Carshalton, in the occupation of Mr. W. Bates, and to which notice the Company have re ceived no reply, we beg, on behalf of the Company, to offer you the sum of 201. for the said piece of land, such sum to include the tenant's interest, if any. We shall be glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience. "'We are, Sir, your obedient servants, "BURCHELD, GILGOUR, and PARSONS. " Mr. Upcher, Vestry-clerk, Wandsworth." The OVERSEER said that, in answer to the letter, they (the churchwardens) had directed their clerk to state that there was no objection to accepting the 20/. for the land, but they would not undertake to satisfy the lessee's claims. To this communication they had received no reply. It was now for the meeting to determine what steps should be adopted in the matter, or whether the rate-payers, as a body,would dele gate the power of arranging the matters to the parochial officers. Mr. PHILLIPS thought there could be no objection to sell the land at 201., and the company must settle with the tenant, but it would be necessary that the parish should watch the company, for railway companies were in the habit of diverg ing, and they might occupy more land than originally con templated. In that case he trusted so small a sum as 20/. would not be considered an equivalent. The CHAIRMAN observed that his brother warden, Mr. Nicholson, and himself, would see that the parish were no losers. It was then unanimously agreed that the matter should be left in the hands of the afore-mentioned gentlemen, but in no case would the parish undertake to include in that settlement the satisfying the tenant. AMERICAN NEWS. FURTHER EXTRACTS FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the New York Tribune). The OREGON QUESTION.—The first Monday in December will witness the assembling in Washington of a new Con gress, for a session which will doubtless be a long one, and probably make its mark on our country's annals. Mr. Polk, if we can judge from the indications given by his organ, has de cided not to compromise the Oregon difference, nor to sub mit it to arbitration, nor vet to allow the stipulated joint occupancy to continue.' His message will insist on our right to the whole region bounded by Mexico (Upper Cali fornia) on the south and Russian America on the north — that is, all the American continent west of the Rocky Moun tains between 42 deg. and 54 deg. 40 min. North latitude. To this extensive but ragged and mainly sterile region we have given the name of Oregon, and lay claim to it as our rightful, indisputable territory. Great Bri tain virtually says,—" You think your right to this re gion better than ours, but we think ours better than yours —how shall we settle it ? We consider the country of little value, acid don't want to quarrel with you about it. We will compromise, or arbitrate, or leave the matter as it is. Make your choice, or propose something better." " No," answers Mr. Polk, per order of the Empire Club, "we won't compromise, nor arbitrate, nor leave it as it is. We will take the whole at once, and take it by force if necessary. Get out of the way, or the locomo tive will run over you !" Now England, though she cannot consider Oregon worth a war, will not be bullied or driven out of it. She will say, " Messieurs Empires ! you cannot settle an honest difference with us in this unceremonious way. If you choose to go ahead in the rough-and-tumble fashion, we have a word to say. We will just send a fleet to the mouth of the Columbia, put a good fort there and garrison it with a couple of regiments, and if you choose to take it, we'll see." This is the point to which we are now tending, and the mis chief-making portion of the press in each nation is in dulging in bullying, irritating remarks against the other nation, the English journals saying, " the United States dare not go to war with us—where will they sell their cotton ?" and our total-depravity press responding, "England dare not resist our taking possession of Oregon—she can't possibly do without our cotton," and so on. They seem to forget on both sides that, if nations never went to waruntil a wise self-interest dictated such a course, peace would be unbroken and universal. But if each is left to calculate so confidently on the pru dence of the other, the Governments will yet be pushed into an attitude which will render inevitable a war or a loss of what duellists and cut-throats in general term honour. It is our national misfortune to have at this crisis a President too weak to recede from a false position, however horrible the consequences of persisting in it. We look, therefore, for in ternational trouble and difficulty, for deep-seated irritation and expensive armaments, for a paralysis of industry and revulsion in business, as not far distant if Mr. Polk in his forthcoming message takes such a stand with regard to Oregon as is now foreshadowed by his intimate counsellors, and is sustained in it with anything more than words by Congress. The actual commencement of hostili ties must be more distant—we hope, far less probable--but the downward road is proverbially an easy one, and if the two nations once begin bullying, presuming on the forbearance of each other, who shall ensure a peaceful end of it? The nonsense which is habitually inflicted on an enduring public with regard to this matter would be sufficiently absurd to amuse if it were not criminal and perilous. Just think of our Tammany and kindred re selves that every foot of Oregon up to 54 deg. 40 min. belongs to ns, and shall be maintained by the sword if necessary, when not one-tenth of those who yell " Ay" to the sentiment have ever examined the evidence or taken any pains to form an impartial judgment in the premises. It is by such yells as these, with corresponding abuse of " Fo reigners," " British," &c., that nations are plunged into the state of wholesale murder, universal destruction, and unimaginable misery, known as war. That a vast majority of our people are averse to a war for the insignificant territory actually in dispute, we do not believe ; but a good part of this majority prefer to sit in their slippers and easy chairs, and let public opinion be formed and di rected mainly by Captain Rynders and &entlemen of his class. The former are only dragged forward in season to foot the Bill. That the evil we apprehend may yet be prevented by patriotism and firmness on the part of the more enlightended and virtuous portion of our citizens, we do indeed believe; but will it be? Judging from the result of our city election we should say not, decidedly. Let us all act for the best, and we may then fairly hope for it. COPPER AT TIM WEST.—It appears by the accounts from Detroit, that the copper operations in the vicinity of Lake Superior have ceased. It is supposed that the operators have not met with their anticipated success. It is perhaps unfortunate for those who have invested their money In this sort of speculation, that the work of " getting out ore" should have so suddenly stopped. We shall soon see, however, what effect this movement will have upon the value of the copper stocks in market.—New York Herald.

The New Orleans Delta condenses the news of the state of the crops in Texas as follows Coax CROP. —The corn crop in the Red River and north ern counties has been greatly injured by the drought. The editor of the Northern Standard mentions that the neigh bourhood of Clarksville is the only section of the Red River counties where there will be much corn for sale. He states, also, the corn in the Choctaw Nation is burnt up. Fortu nately for the people of that section, the crop of potatoes will be very abundant. COTTON CHOP.—The severe drought that prevailed during nearly the whole of the month of July and August, through out the western and middle counties of Texas, has materially injured the cotton crop. Along the whole line of the Colo rado, from Columbia to Austin, it is estimated, says the Houston Telegraph, that the crop will fall short nearly one ' half. Of the Brazos above San Felipe, the planters will scarcely make more than two-thirds of an average crop ; and on the Trinity the crop is as light as on the Colorado. In the eastern counties the crop is said to be better than it is in any of the counties west of the Trinity. It is probable that the whole crop of Texas will scarcely exceed ninety thou sand bales. Last year it was estimated at over one hundred thousand bales. There were shipped from Houston, from September 1, 1844, to August 31, 1845, eleven thousand three hundred and fifty-nine bales of cotton. (From the New Orleans Courier of October 25.) FROM HAVANN'AIL—The brig Empresario, Captain Col lins, arrived here this morning from Havannah. The Vera Cruz steamer arrived at Havannah on the 6th, but brought no newspapers. The Picayune publishes a letter dated Vera Cruz, October 18, stating that there are four American cor vettes and two brigs at Sacrificios, and a steamer in sight, supposed to be the Mississippi. The letter says they are in constant expectation at Vera Cruz of a brush on the Rio Grande, which we know to be impossible. The Mexican Government (says the letter) has no means for carrying on a war ; they have got into difficulties with the French Minis ter, and now they are about to do the same thing with the English. The house of Manning , M' lntush, and Co., bought the coinage at the mint of Guanajuato for a certain period, from Santa Anna, advancing the money on the contract and now the Mexicans want to a nnul it, on the plea that Santa Anna's Government was only provisional. The Eng lish Minister has informed the Government that they must respect that contract, and all others made with English subjects. There was a disturbance in the city of Mexico on the 6th instant—a plot to seize the conducta, and to play some sort of a game with the names of Gomez Farias, Canalizo, and Santa Anna ; but it was discovered and prevented. There must be a revolution, ere long, in Mexico ; there is so much corruption in the Government, and barbarism in the pee le, that things cannot remain as they are. Tow-HOAT EXPLOSION.—LAMENTARLE Loss OF LIVE. — The tow-boat Persian, Captain Riddle ; from:the Passes, with ships Thomas B. Wales and Tyrian in tow, burst her two starboard boilers, while under way, about half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning, two miles below the city, scald ing five and killing three persons, of whom the fallowing is a list :—C. Crowley, first engineer, dangerously scalded ; George Clinton , mate , slightly scalded ; Mr. Wagner, er, car penter, ditto ; J. Arnold, pilot, ditto Mr. Wood, ditto; Patrick Donahoo, fireman, died onboard the tow-boat Claiborne after reaching the city; two others, whose names we could not ascertain, died a short time after the accident. Captain Riddle and the second engineer escaped uninjured. The Persian had her boiler-deck carried away from the cabin forward, with both chimneys and pi lot -house ; the pilot and steersman were in the pilot-house at the time, and both escaped with slight injury. A piece of one of the boilers passed up through the cabin and hurricane deck. The tow boat Hercules brought up the wreck, the Claiborne the killed and wounded.—N. 0. Delta, Oct. 25. Fnom TUE BAY OF ARANSAS.—The United States trans port steam-boat Monmouth, Captain Baker, arrived here yes terday from Aransas Bay. She left there on the 16th inst. The army at Corpus Christi was in pretty good health, ex cept that few cases of dysentery had occurred. Three hun dred Mexicans ventured within fifty miles of Corpus Christi a few days since in pursuit of a body of Camanches, which had been committing depredations on the settlements. The commander of the Mexicans, being an old acquaintance of Col. Kinney, sent word to him that he should have called to see him, but was fearful he might be censured. The Mon mouth met the steam-ship New York on the 20th inst., at nine o'clock, A.M., about thirty miles east of Galveston.—N. 0. Pic., 25th Oct. AIDING TIIE ESCAPE OF SLAVES. — T he St. Louis Repub lican of Oct. 25th says :—" Last evening, a white man by the name of William Fislar, who says he lives in Lincoln County, Mo., and an old free negro man called Richmond, who has been living here a long time, were caught by Capt. M'Donough, just as they were pushing off in a skiff with a slave belonging to Mr. Carle, which they were about to con vey to Illinois. Two other negroes, supposed to be slaves, iwere on the shore, ev id e ntly waiting to be conveyed across. but on seeing the others arrested, took to their heels and escaped." PROGRESS OF THE NEW RAILWAYS. We have received the following particulars relative to the progress and construction of several new lines of railway (the Acts for the formation of which received the royal assent during the late Parliamentary sessions) from the en gineering officials of the different companies : EASTICIUf UNION RAILWAY.—The progress of this line has been extended with such rapidity, that there is little doubt but the whole will be completed for public traffic early in the ensuing spring. It commences in a line with the Colchester Extension and Eastern Counties Railway, at Ardleigh, and proceeding thence towards Ipswich, passes over table land at Manningtree-valley, Dedham, Lawford, over the river Stour, which divided the counties of Essex and Sussex ; it then extends through the parishes of Bran sham, Bentley, Belstead, Wherstead, Ipswich, onwards to the terminus and junction with the Bury St. Edmunds and Norwich line. The engineer, in his late report to the Di- { rectors, gave a summary of the work completed as follows : " The total quantity of earthwork removed exceeded seven hundred thousand cubic yards, being two-thirds of the whole quantity required to complete a double road, or seven-eighths of the quantity which would have been required to complete the single road (as was the original intention of the Com pany). Thirty culverts and bridges have been built, six miles of permanent road have been laid out, and thirty miles of double fencing set up." Since that was made a greater part of the latter-mentioned mileage had been actually formed. The long timber viaducts over the tidal waters of the Stour River are almost completed—the foundations have proved satisfactory. There aro several heavy cuttings and embank ments, but most . of them have been mastered. The largest near Ardleigh, Itcanningtree, Denham, Lawford, and Bourn brook-marshes. Upwards of 1,000 men and 200 horses aro employed on the works. Mr. Locke's Parliamentary estimates for the single line (as originally intended), including stations and sidings, but exclusive of land, was under 9,0001. per mile. The line is now being completed as a double line for something less than 12,000/. per mile. The Company's capi tal was 300,000/. The Colchester Extension Railway, which will unite the Eastern Counties with the Eastern Union, is also in a forward state of completion. PRESTON AND WYRE BRANCH RAILWAYS.—The works for the formation of these branch lines, namely, the Lytham and the Blackpool Railways, the former four miles and six furlongs in length, and the other somewhat less, are all but completed. The Lytham line is finished. There is no work of any magnitude on it, excepting in the construction of the bridges, five in number—three constructed of wood, one of stone, and the other of bricks. The quantity of earth ex cavated was about 100,000 cubic yards. Mr. Bidder is the engineer. SritaTFonD AND THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY.—This line, which will be opened in the course of a short time, will form an important communication between Blackwall and the Eastern Counties Railways to Cambridge and Colchester, as well as other distant parts, Ely, Norwich, and Yarmouth, and also Ipswich, Bury St. Edmunds, and Ilarwich. It verges off the Eastern Counties Colchester line, near the station at Stratford, where it passes through severanneadows to the edge of Bow-creek, which has been damned in along the banks to a considerable length, to prevent the water breaking in on to the line. Its course after leaving that point is down au incline through High-street, Stratford, between the Bell Inn and the turnpike-gate. The line passes under the main road at a depth of about twenty feet, and an iron bridge of a novel construction is in the course of erection over it. It is a corrugated bridge, supported in the centre by nine iron columns, and was manufactured by Messrs. Grissell and Co. The crown is divided into sixty-four plates, each of which has been tested to support an enormous weight. The entire length is between sixty and seventy feet, and its width is about thirty feet. Already one-half of the bridge is built, and labourers are now employed covering it over with concrete, preparatory to its being thrown open. The railway from the bridge shapes a course to the south of Stratford, passing over a number of meadows adjacent to Messrs. Tucker's printing factory, and in' a direct line through West Ham, across the main road onwards to Plaistow marshes. At West Ham it passes through a portion of the Adam and Eve tea-gardens, and also over the spot where formerly stood West Ham Abbey. Portions of the old walls, the only remains of the abbey, have been pulled down to make way for the line, and in the excavations for that pur pose several relicts of interest were dug up, and have been preserved. From West Ham over Plaistow-marshes an em bankment of a few feet has been raised, and on approaching the Barking-road, it is the intention of the engineer, Mr. Phelps, of the Eastern Counties, to carry a bridge up, similar to the one at Stratford, to admit the line running under it. The line then takes a circuitous route along the banks of Bow-creek, to the river side, adjacent to the Trinity Howie, where it terminates. Here the company are driving piles along the river side for some 200 yards, where it is the inten tion of making a spacious wharf, so that vessels can come alongside and unload their cargoes into the luggage trains for Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. 'With the ex ception of the bridges, and that portion between Barking road and the river, one line of rails are complete, and ballast waggons are running to and fro. The other line of rails are progressing fast. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—An immense num ber of workmen are employed on the works connected with this undertaking. The embankments and cuttings are very heavy,7and the process of blasting large quantities of stone that obstruct various parts of the line still continue with per fect safety. The lengthened embankment near Carlisle is completed, and the viaducts at Gatthie are nearly formed. The capital for the formation of the line is 800,0001. BRIGHTON AND CHICHESTER. RAILWAY.—ThiS line, which is upwards of twenty-two miles in length (now amalgamated with the London and Brighton), is in such a state of forward ness that the portion from Shoreham to Worthing (a dis tance of five miles) will be openedl for the conveyance of passengers on Monday next. It has been inspected by Ma jor Pasley, the Government inspector of railways, and ap proved of. The Company's capital is 320,0001. OXFORD AND RUGBY RAILWAY.,—About a quarter of this line, which, when completed, will be fifty miles and a half in length, has been staked out, and excavators are at work thereon. The Lancaster Deviation, the Ashton Branch lines, the Sheffield and Manchester, and several others, are advanced considerably. or Liquid [AnvERTHEmENT.I—The Atrapilator , q t u h iereonly re-doing,dye t a butt re really does ilaHair not p ye re'gforrowYssll, ueoloiutrsn,eavnedr all other dies.

SINGULAR MITCIL—On Thursday a rather novel match was decided, in the presence of a good number of sporting men, near Merton, Surrey. The terms of the match were, that a horse, produced by Mr. Lenard, would cover twelve miles of ground within one hour, in the following manner :—Trot five miles, gallop five miles, and walk two miles. The stakes were ten pounds a side. The horse cons. menced by trotting five miles, which was done in nineteen minutes ; one mile was then walked in ten minutes; the horse was then galloped, and covered the five miles in eighteen minutes and a half. The horse had twelve and a half minutes to c conluthe match, by waln one mile, which was done ise elevenminutes; and the twelve miles were accomplished in fifty-eight minutes and a half, and the match won. SUICIDE AT EDMONTON.—ThUrsday morning, at seven o'clock, a man named John Joshua B. Stevens, re siding in Fore-street, Edmonton, who was living on a pension he had been in the receipt of for many years from the East India Company, was found dead in bed by his landlady, he having nearly severed his head from his body. The deceased, who was in his sixty-seventh year, would have been married in a few days to a respectable widow, named Flack, with whom he stated it was his intention to have lived at a holm in Church-street, the lease of which he had taken. For that purpose he had purchased some furniture, which was yeeter day to have been conveyed there. It is said he was in axe pectation of a remittance from the East Indies, and that he had appeared in a desponding way in consequence of its non arrival. A razor, the handle of which had been tied with some tape, was found by his side. LICENSED BROKERS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.-1115 first anniversary of the formation of this body was cele brated on Thursday at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell-green, when about fifty persons sat down to an excellent supper, provided by Mr. Hinton, the proprietor of the house, It was pleasing to observe that the company manifested a de voted concurrence in the objects of their institution, which gives an early earnest of its growth and success. Of its utility there can be no doubt, for whilst on the one hand a body of men, taking so large a share in the business of this country as the brokers, is prompted and almost compelled to act honestly, and legally so, on the other, must the public • be spared the wanton excesses of those who hitherto have disgraced the trade. MORE SECESSIONS.—The Rev. Frederick Virilliam Faber, M.A., late Fellow of University College, and Rector of Elton, Huntingdonshire, joined the Roman communion, together with eight others (names unknown), at Northamp who ,'taethe author ten, on Thursday se'nnight. Mr. Faber, of poems dedicated to Lord John Manners, presented to Elton in 1843, at which time his Romanising views were matter of notoriety. It is stated that he is about to resign Elton, and to be confirrtt9d Rs_ a mem b er of the Romish Church shortly.. Mr._ Faber obtained a second class at Oxford in 1836, in which same year he also obtained the Newdigate prize poem on " The Knights of St. we believe, one of his John " in the following yea r was elected Johnson theological h j alii i s ' e N x e c w el m len an t r b e e as in o g n , for knowing that tha secxlaminl'airn,etrsh.e ReNvve.

Both the conduct and writings of the latter gentlemen have materially lowered them in the estimation of their Popish friends. It is Miltonian-Satanic maxim, that it its better " to rule in hell than serve in Heavea"—such, we are told, was the guiding sentiment of the prince of apostates. Some of his followers, however, instead of exchanging humble usefulness for bad eminence, find themselves as having abandoned a righteous service for a cruel slavery ; and, of course, without enjoying either the sympathy of their victims or their tyrants. however this may be, the secessions continue, and it is freely rumoured that, in addition to those already known, many members of Colleges have gone over, whose names it is net thought proper to communicate yet to the public.— Church. and State Gazette. THE STAMP-OFFICE.—We are informed that the pressure of business in the stamp department of Somerset house, since the existence of the new railway schemes, and so many official stamps have become requisite for the nume rous documents required in the appropriation of shares and o ther matters connected with those undertakings, has been so great, that the w hole of the officers of that department have for a very considerable time been necessitated to stay for several hours after the expiration of the usual hours of business, in order to provide a number of stamps proportionate to the great demand, and thereby prevent inconvenience to the public, who are interested in the various lines of railway THE METROPOLITAN SEE.--We now in course of progress or in c ontemplation. an- POPERY IN nounce with the greatest regret, and upon authority which, though we cannot name, we consider indisputable, that one of the chapla ins of the Bishop of London is en the point of being admitted into the Romish Church I Surely such an event as this will make our too indulgent diocesan et length Church and PAC exc laim—" Non omnibus dormio _ :., __ _.
