We had an opportunity yesterday morning of wit nessing in operation, at the Bull Hotel, Bishopsgate street, an ingenious machine, adapted to one of the most desirable and economical purposes—that of weighing all coals on delivery. The patent of the invention has been taken out by Messrs. Batters, Clements, and Co., the eminent coal-merchants of Westminster ; and the experiments were made in the presence of several gentlemen connected with the coal trade, besides others interested in the success of a process by which a notorious species of fraud, sadly injurious to the public, might be materially lessened. The machine is simply an application of the beam and scale principle, a table being drawn from the end of the waggon, from which the sacks are taken by the coal-heaver, during the progress of which the weight of each is determined to an ounce, whether a registry of the same is required or not. Considering the vast magnitude of coal consump tion—extending to above three millions of tons per annum—this convenience is obviously one of vital importance. The Act of Parliament, Ist and 2d Vict., cap. 101, declares that all coals shall be weighed in place of the previous practice of measuring, an enactment which has left open a wide field for imposition. The provisions, however, of an Act of Parliament have not been found sufficient to protect the public ; and the nefarious trader still reaps a large reward from his malpractices, well knowing that in the majority of instances the quiet house keeper prefers running the risk of being defrauded rather than incur the annoyances incident to the pre sent cumbrous mode of weighing the sacks, or else is totally unable, in a crowded thoroughfare, to avail him self of the test authorised by law. It is, therefore, a matter of surprise, that an appendage so simple as that of Messrs. Batters' has never been thought of until the present moment. But now that a machine so immediately available has been constructed for the especial defence of the consumer, the weighing ceases to be a thing of difficulty, and the Legislature might properly compel its adoption, as it did some years ago when a change was peremptorily made from measure to weight.. The transit of the coals from the waggon into the cellars of Mr. Carne fully proved that the inventors of the apparatus have not over-estimated its practicability ; and as a load is delivered in an equally brief space of time, and with equal ease to the men, as though they were not weighed, we think the public may be reasonably recommended to guard themselves against short weight in future by insisting upon the use of those vehicles to Which the machine of Messrs. Batters is affixed. MR. TITAN'S PERSONAL ADVENTURES IN UPPER AND Low CALIFORNIA.—The new number of the Quar terly Review, just published, pronounces this highly attrac tive work to be " a very striking sketch of the life of a clever young rambler, who successively played the parts of soldier, volunteer, gold-hunter, and house and sign -painter, in Up per and Lower California. The account he gives us of the hardships the miner has to undergo, the fevers and agues which assail him, and the lottery he throws into, to say nothing of the hordes of gamblers and thieves he bas to en counter before be pockets his first fragment of gold at a dis tant placer,' is most lively and amusing." NEW ACT RELATING TO MORTGAGEES AND TRUS TEES —On the Ist of next month an Act will come into force respec ting mortgagees and trustees. It confers very consi derable powers on the Court of Chancery, giving that court j ur i s diction over trustees in a summary manner by orders, and enabling the court to seize and possess funds with the view of carrying out the trusts reposed in trustees. RETURN OF CAPTAIN FORSYTH IN THE PRINCE ALBERT. SUPPOSED TRACES OF SIR J. FRANKLIN. The following letter from Captain Forsyth, report ing the return of this little expedition, consisting of his solitary vessel the Prince Albert, will be read with the deepest interest, not only for the intelligence it conveys, hut for -the extraordinary and unexampled exploit performed—for it is nothing less—during one short season in the Arctic Seas. It will be fresh in the recollection of our readers that this branch exoPdition, equipped by the untiring energies of Lady Franklin, aided by a few private personal friends and public sympathisers in the cause -equipped, too, in the space of three short weeks — left the port of kberdeen after all the other vessels had long proceeded on their voyage ; but, unlike all those expeditions, she boldly stemmed the waves of the Atlantic, and threaded the icebergs of Baffin's Bay alone—and would have wintered alone in those dreary regions, whither she had gone, bad any op portunity offered, or prospect even, of putting the vessel into any harbour; as far as we know, how ever, she never once dropped her anchor, unless, in deed, it might have been at the entrance of the Wel lington Channel. In the whole history of Arctic navigation the voy age of the Prince Albert stands unexampled. It will be seen that she ran through Lancaster Sound and Barrow's Strait—sailed down Prince Regent's Inlet to the spot where the Fury was wrecked—crossed to the opposite side, to Port Bowen, and then ran up the straits as far as the entrance of Wellington Channel ; and after again running the gauntlet of Barrow's Straits and Baffin's Bay, has returned to England to give us the intelligence she brings, which thousands are now perusing with feelings of the most profound interest. We have seen private letters from this expedition which show more clearly than this dry official report —which, "as an officer in her Majesty's navy (not under any employment or countenance of the Admi ralty) he felt it his duty to make to the Board" —how unjustifiable it would have been for Captain Forsyth to have attempted to remain out, with an ice master and ice mate, ignorant in the extreme, and always at variance one with the other, and eventually " fighti ng it out" on the quarter-deck, par nobile fratrum, forcibly reminding us of old Stephano and Trinculo, together with other circumstances not necessary to enter into here. _ We heartily congratulate this little expedition on its safe return, and cordially wish Captain Forsyth the advancement he so well deserves for his most anxious and well-managed voyage, under the most trying circumstances. It may be generally known that Captain Forsyth served under Sir John Fraklin in Australia, in com mand of some colonial vessel, and that in gratitude for the kindness shown to him by Sir John, Lady Franklin (whose hospitality to all parties when Sir John was Governor of Van Diemen 's Land was pro verbial) induced him to volunteer his services gra tuitously in this sacred and noble cause. CAPTAIN FORSYTH'S DISPATCHES. The following dispatches were received at the Admiralty-offiee yesterday : " Prince Albert, Aberdeen, Oct. 1. " Sir,--I have the honour to report my return to England, and take the earliest opportunity of com municating, for my Lords Commissioners informa tion, that traces of the missing expedition under Sir John Franklin have been found at Cape Riley and Beechy Island, at the entrance to the *Wellington Channel. " The annexed document was copied from one left in a cairn at Cape Riley, by Captain Ommaney, the day previous to our visiting it. We observed five places where tents had been pitched, or stones placed as if they had been used for keeping the lower part of the tents down ; also a great quantity of beef, pork, and birds' bones, a piece of rope, with the Woolwich naval mark in it (yellow), part of which I have en closed. Her Majesty's ships Assistance and Intrepid, when last seen by me, on the 25th of August, whilst off Point Innis, appeared to be well over with Cape Hotham, carrying a press of sail, with a strong breeze from the westward. Penny's vessels were also in the entrance of the Strai's, and two American brigantines, working over towards Cape Hothain. " As an officer belonging to her Majesty's service, although not having been especially sent out by her Majesty's Government, I deem it incumbent on me to inf,,rm their Lordships of the part this vessel has taken in the search. " The Prince Albert, under my command, left Aberdeen on the sth of June last. On the 2d of July, after experiencing a succession of westerly gales, we arrived off Cape Farewell. On the 15th, met some whalers off the Black Hook, returning to the southward, not having been able to accomplish the passage round Melville B ay. On the 19th, entered the ice, and on the 21st came up with Sir John Ross in a labyrinth of heavy icebergs. On the 23i, met the remainder of the fleet of whalers coming to the south ward. " On the 26th made out Captain Austin's and Mr. Penny's vessels beset in the ice, about 15 or 20 miles to the northward of us. From this time to the 9th of August we were generally beset, occasionally expe riencing some very heavy shocks, when we succeeded in getting into a lead, and passed Captain Austin within a few miles still beset. On the 10th his ships, by the aid of steamers, got into open water, and were towed past us in a calm. The same evening they were again beset. On the 12th the steamers, assisted by blasting, forced a passage through. It being calm, Captain Austin very kindly offered myself and Sir John Ross a tow clear of the ice, which we most thankfully and gladly availed ourselves of. On the 14th we communicated with the natives at Cape York, who gave us to understand that a ship answer ing the description of the North Star had wintered somewhere about Wolatenholme Sound. The same evening the Assistance was dispatched to ascertain the truth of this report. Liver " O n the 17th I parted company Ma jesty's ships Resolute and Pioneer, h • mg previously arranged with Captain Austin to unde rtake hav ing the exa• mination of the south side of Lane with her Barrow's Strait, from Cape Liverpool to P ort Leo pold, whilst he visited Posse s • mon and Pond 's Bays. On the 18th we made the land five • mile of shore, as far , Lancaster Sound and miles to the east ward of Cape Liverpool, closely ins pecting the coast, found it impossible to land to ascertain if the keeping within a quarter of a as the Wollaston Islands. When off Cape Nay it was blowing a gale to the eastward ; we therefore feeloerr provisions had been touched since they were deposit ed there last year by Mr. Parker, of the Truelove. what we could see from our deck pear to have been molested. Th e flag-staff bad been blown down, and was lying on th e top of the coals. On the outer or western Wolla s t on Island a n o tice was left recording our visit and th e disposition o f h i f n u r t t h h e e r strait, a examination nd h e heave thethe as vesselot at t to this is i time ; we the midst they did p F r om - Majesty's ships, &c. " The gale having increased wou ld not admit of our of drift ice. On it s mo d erat i ng t h e nest day we found ourselves o ff C a p e Y or k. As it was still blowing strong, I b ore u p f or Port Le o p ol d. At three A.M., on the 21 s t, a rrived o ff the har bour, but f o u n d it c l ose d w i t h h ea vy ice* Wit h much difficulty our boat succeeded in getting in b y be ing hauled some distance over the ice. It a pp eared by a e were obliged in consequ ence o f i ts v i o lence to stand out document left at the flagstaff that the North Star had called here on the 13th, but from the state of the ice was unable to land her provisions, and had left this to attempt to land them at Port Power or Neil; other wise everything appeared to have been untouched since her Majesty's ships Inwstigator and Enterprise left last year. As it was intended by the parties who fitted this vessel out that she should proceed to Brentford Bay and commence o perations from that place, I made the best of my way up Prince Re g ent ' s Inlet in order to effect that object. As we drew up towards Fury Beach, the laud ice gradually ex tended off the shore, comme ncing a little to the southward of Port Leopold, u p to within 10 or 15 miles of Fury Point, when it stretched directly across the inlet, apparently in front of Port Bower. Find ing great quantities of drift ice setting up the inlet, and likely to close me in, with no port to take refuge in, I stood out to the northward, with the in tention of proceeding down the western side of North Somerset. On reaching the north end of Leopold Island I found the pack extending from thence across Barrow's Strait, towards the entrance of Wellington Channel. Aftfir having forced our way through great quantities of heavy drift ice, the vessel receiving man y severe concussions, got in with the land between Capes Herschel and we Hurd, and examined the coast as far as Point Innis, in the Wellington Channel, without finding any further traces of the missing parties, with the exception of those already mentioned at Cape Riley. 'Chore being no possibility of my penetrating to the S.W., as I had intended, from the heavy ice in that direction, I ran back to Prince Regent's Inlet. The appearance of the ice being much the same, with no port to enter in the vicinity of my future opera tions, 1 was most reluctantly obliged to give up the idea of remaining in these regions, more particularly as the season Was fast advancing, when the ice begins to form, and I know from experience if this vessel was once caught there would be no chance of our getting out again, as she has no power:to bore through it ; I there fore determined, after most mature consideration, to return to England. On the 27th I ran into Eardley Bay, near Cape York, and landed a notice with some provisions. Before our men could get on board a gale commenced with a heavy sea, which nearly drove us on shore under the Cape. Oa the 29:h I examined the western side of the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, thence across to Elwin Bay, keeping close al - ongshore to Possession Bay ; off which place I fell in with the North Star, which I found had met with the same impediment in Prince 11! , gent's Inlet as ourselves, and had, consequently, not succeeded in entering either Ports Bowen or Nut, but had landed her pro visions inside the Wollaston Islands. ‘Ve found that the Resolute had visited Possession Biy on the 13th, Captain Austin having left the night previous in the Pioneer to visit Pond's Bay. On the 2d and 3d of September I examined the shores of Pond's Bay, but could discover no traces of Captain Austin's having been there. Perhaps the North Star may have been more fortunate, as I saw her standing in on the even ing of my departure. On the 4th we lost sight of Cape Bowen, near Pond's Bay, and on the Ist inst. arrived here, being the last and smallest vessel that left England, and the first that arrived in Barrow's Strait. —I have, &e l.. " CHARLES U. FORSYTH, Commander, R.N. " To the Secretary to the Admiralty, Whitehall." True copy of a paper found at Cape Riley : "HER MAJESTY'S ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITION. " This is to certify that Captain Ommanney, with the officers of her Majesty's ship Assistance and In trepid, landed at Cape Riley en the 23d of August, 1850, where he found traces of an encampment and collected the remains of materials which evidently prove that some party belonging to her Majesty's ships have been detained on this spot. Beechy Island was also examined, where traces were found of the same party. " This is also to give notice that a supply of pro visions and fuel is at Port Leopold. Her Majesty's ships Assistance and Intrepid were detached from the squadron under Captain Austin, off Wolstenholme, on the 15th inst., since which they have examined the north shores ofLancastar Sound and Barrow's Straits, without meeting any other traces. Captain Om manney proceeds to Cape Hotham and Cape Walker, in search for further traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition. " Dated on board her Majesty's ship Assistance, off Cape Riley, August 23, 1850. " ERASMUS 0111MANNEY." The following is a private letter we have received from Aberdeen : " The news brought by the Prince Albert is most important, as it goes to prove that the missing expe dition has been at Barrow's Straits at no very dis tant period ; but God knows what has become of them since then. The Assistance, it is thought, must have some further clue to them by the way in which she was pushing over towards Cape Hotham when the Prince Albert left. Captain Forsyth was very much mortified at being obliged to return • but what was he to do ? He c ou ld no t g et to within seventy miles of Brentford Bay, and it was impossible to travel over such impassable ice. All the ports in the inlet were closed against him ; and the only alternative he had was to go to some place and winter, from which, perhaps, he would not have got out until this time next year, and thus would have entailed an immense deal of ex pense on Lady Franklin without reaping any adequate benefit; in fact, without doing the slightest good, or in any way forwarding the object of this expedition. Look at the North Star. She wintered in Wolstenholme Sound, and Captain Forsyth arrived at Port Leopold six days after her. The Prince Albert was the last and smallest vessel that left England, and the first to arrive in the strait. She is, also, the smallest craft that has ever penetrated so far to the westward in Wellington Channel. "All the officers and ships' companies of the search ing expedition were enjoying excellent health. Cap tain Forsyth believes they had not a man on the sick list of either ship. The steamers have behaved admi rably. Captain Austin says he does not know what he should hare done without them. They were found to be of the utmost service as pioneers. When they came to the neck of the ice, the steamers would cast off their tow-rope, and dash at it, cutting into ice 12 and 15 feet thick, then clapping on their devil's claws, backing astern, and roussing' the masses out by wholesale. They also found blasting of much service. The Intrepid has strained the frame-work of her en gines a little, but nothing material. The whalers were astonished to see the little craft Prince Albert amongst the ice. She appeared to be a mere boat alongside their great hulks. " The Prince Albert received some severe shocks in getting round Melville Bay. Captain Austin said Commander Forsyth must be a second 'Baffin' to have attempted it in such a little thing. "Unfortunately the ice-masters of the Prince Al bert never agreed as to the best way to get through the ice; one of them, who had lost a ship there some years ago, was for always stopping to see if the ice would open; so the whole of the fag devolved on the commander, and altogether this ship has been one of never-ceasing hard work and difficulty to him. The two ice-masters were men who could not write their own names, and were regular northern bears ; so Captain Forsyth's position has not been a very plea sant one. " The Prince Albert saw the North Star off Pond's Bay on the 3d September, homeward bound. " The vessels at the entrance of the Wellington Channel when the Prince Albert left were—The As sistance, Capt. Ommanney ; and the Intrepid, screw tender, Lieut. Commander B. Cator ; Capt. Penny's two vessels, Lady Franklin and Sophia, and the two American ships Advance and Rescue. The latter were almost solid pieces of timber, and so far aft as the foremast they were perfectly so. They intend wintering at Melville Island ; so does Capt. Austin ; and Capt. Penny was also inclined to make that island his winter quarters. Penny could not get into Jones's or Smith's Sound. " The Prince Albert remains at Aberdeen for a day or two, waiting instructions from Lady Franklin." (From the Aberdeen Journal of Oct. 2.) The Prince Albert, Commander Forsyth, arrived between eight and nine o'clock last night (the crew all well), and brings some important particulars in addition to the intelligence brought by the North Star, and which are contained in the following state ment, kindly furnished us by Mr. Snow, second in command : Commander Forsyth did not stop at Port Bowen, as has been stated in the accounts brought by Captain Saunders. He attempted twice to land at Port Leo pold, but was prevented by the ice, over which the boats had to be dragged. When there he met the American brigantine Advance, and, in company with her, went over to Cape Hurd, and up Barrow's Straits. He then proceeded to Cape Spencer, at Wel lington Channel. Here there waa a great deal of ice. Bore up on the 25th August, when Mr. Snow was sent to examine Cape Reilly. Here he found the Advance, which was aground. Mr. Snow found traces on Cape Reilly of five or six tents, or encamp ments, which, from certain peculiarities, be knew to be those of a vessel in her Majesty's service. He found that the Assistance, Capt. Ommanney, had been at Cape Reilly two days before, and had left the no tice given above. Mr. Snow states that the traces of the encampments of a vessel in her Majesty's service were very evident. The seamen who were dispatched from the Assistance to examine these remains found a rope with the Woolwich mark evidently belongin g to a vessel which had been fitted out at Woolwich, and w hich, in all probability, was either the "Erebus" or the " Terror." Other indications were also found, which showed that some vessel had visited the place besides the Assistance. Mr. Snow left a notice that the Prince Albert had called off Cape Reilly on the 25th of August. When Mr. Snow returned on board, the Prince Albert bore up for Cape York, on the eastern side of Prince Regent's Inlet. The ice extended completely across from land to land, and quite blocked up the passage down the Inlet. On reaching Cape Y or k, Mr. Snow again went on shore, and found a cairn of stones, but no traces of anything. lie left two cases of pemmican. As it was perfectly obvious from the state of the ice that the object of the expedition—the explora tion of Prince Regent's Inlet, and the passages con necting it with the western seas—could not be car ried into effect, Commander Forsyth resolved to re turn to England, and the Prince Albert then bore up to the eastward. Commander Forsyth landed at Possession Bay on the morning of the 29th August, but nothing was found there to repay the search in stituted. On the Ist of Septernla r, th e Prince Albert got into Pond's Bay. Mr. Snow was again sent on shore to make an examination of four points of land there, but on none of them could any traces be found of the objects of the search. They came out of Pond's Bay on the 2d September. There was no ice to the eastward, nor on the whole passage homewards from Wellington Channel. The Prince Albert has explored regions which have seldom been [PRICE SD. reached, and has had a splendid run on her home ward passage. With regard to the positions of the other expedi tions when last seen, it may be stated, that on Aug. 25th, when the Prince Albert was between Cape Spencer and Cape Innes, in Wellington Channel, Mr. Snow went at noon to the mast-head, and saw the Assistance as near as possible within Cape Hotham —Penny's two ship, the Lady Franklin and Sophia, were in th‘t mid channel—the American brigantine Rescue was close beset with ice near Cape Bowen. These were the only vessels to be seen there. The Intrepid could not be seen, but she was doubtless in co:npany with the Assistance. The ice was very heavy, and extended all around, from Prince Leopold's bland to Cape Farewell, westward, so as to prevent any possibility of reaching Cape Walker; Cape I'o - might be reached with difficulty. In Welling ton Channel there was a great deal of ice, but it admitted of passages being made, in which the ships were working ; and Captain Penny was pushing up the channel boldly. Captain Austin, with the Resolute, had the Prince Albert in tow on the 16th of August, and carried her to the entrance of Lancaster Sound. They then parted company, and did not meet again ; but it was found that the Resolute had been into and examined Possession Bay on the 17th of August. The Pioneer had been detached from the Resolute, and was pro ceeding. in the direction of Cape Walker. The Felix, it was understood, was to make for Admiralty Inlet, and the last report of her was that she was standing to the northward, Sir Johis Ross being in doubts whether he should not return to England. The other American vessel, the Advance, when last seen, was ashore near Borrow's Bay, but was expected to be got off. The Prince Albert has accomplished much during the short visit which she has paid to the Arctic Re gions. We have already stated that she had been in the Wellington Channel, which has not often been explored, and which Sir James Ross failed to reach. She has also been at Fury Beach, a point not reached by any vessel for nearly twenty years. It was, how ever, utterly impossible to land there on account of the ice. The whole of the coasts of Baffin's Bay were also examined, but no traces found of Franklin. As to the whalers, the Prince Albert brings no in telligence which has not already been communicated to the public by previous arrivals from the fishing ground. The crew of the Prince Albert, as well as those of all the ships of the expedition, have enjoyed good health and spirits, in the important enterprise in which they have been engaged ; and have, in short, felt no want hitherto, but that of success in the object of their search.

MALTA, SEPT. 27.—The cholera is fast decreasing. The Merlin steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Turner, with the homeward India mail, is just tele graphed. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pottinger, from Constantinople, arrived yes terday with a full cargo of fruit. She left this morning at half-past ten, A.m., for Gibraltar and Southampton, On the Merlin being telegraphed the recall was made for the Pottinger, but from the dis tance was not seen. The Frolic, 16, Commander Vansittart, from Athens, arrived on Sunday night last, and on the following morning interchanged the usual salutes. The Volage surveying-ship, Captain Graves, with the Research cutter, were still lying at Smyrna on the 23d, but were expected to leave for Malta in a few days. The Auxiliary Gutter was at Syra. TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION. Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, a fire, in volving a most serious destruction of property, broke out in the manufacturing premises belonging to Messrs. W. W. and R. Brooks, tallow-welters, No. 1, Southwark-bridge-road, nearly facing the brigade engine -station. The premises extended from Southwark•bridge. road into Little Guildford street, where they had another frontage and entrance. The whole occupied nearly half an acre of ground, and comprised the melting-houses, the making shops, spacious stores filled with dip 9 and in , ulds of great value, the ware houses containing a large and miscellaneous stock, and the btore- rooms f,,r dC-positing casks of tallow in the raw. This property wa3 adjoined by the flax ware house, belonging to Mr. Ward, in Little Guildford street, and Templar's Cottages in the saint! street, whilst several shops and a Welsh chapel abutted upon the factory in the front road. The fire commenced i❑ the melting house. At the time a number of men were engaged at one of the pans melting some tallow, and, whilst stirring it, the whole contents, about 2 cwt., became ignited. The men, knowing that the application of water to such an article whilst on fire would be of no use, made an endeavour to smother the flames by covering the top of the pan. Unfortunately that expedient proved completely futile, for the flames immediately shot forth with the greatest fury, and set the flooring of the shops over it in a blaze before the men therein had time to be fully aware of what had occurred. The men who were in the last-named apartments were obliged, in order to save their lives, to jump down stairs through an immense sheet of flame. The bri g ade engines were immediately taken from the oppo site station to the burning premises, at which time an abundant stream of water was flowing from the mains in the district. The engines were charged with water and in full work in less than five minutes after the outbreak; but owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade the flames travelled with rapidity, and ignited almost simultaneously the store-houses, making shops, the spacious warehouses, and some hundred frames filled with candles. The scene then became fear ful in the extreme ; for such was the fury of the confla gration, that the tiles and slates of the roofs were shi vered into a thousand pieces, while the fragments were scattered over the neighbourhood like so many fire balls in a state of combustion. But a very brief period elapsed ere huge sheets of flame broke through the roof, and mounted some hundred feet into the air, causing the district to be as light as noon, whilst the lofty objects in the City and the vessels in the Thames were brought out in bold relief. This caused the more distant engines to be turned out, so that a great many more engines of the London Brigade and West of England Office were enabled to reach the scene before sufficient time had elapsed to send for them. The whole of this powerful force was called into ope ration, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen, the flames extended to the flax-warehouse of Mr. Ward, Little Guildford-street, to one of the Templar's Cot tages, and to the backs of several houses in the South wark-bridge-road. The firemen, however, by great perseverance, and owing to the judicious directions of their superior officers, succeeded i❑ cutting off the further extension of the devastating element; but at half-past eleven o'clock a great body of fire still re mained in Messrs. Brooks' factory. The damage done is very considerable, as the whole of the manu facturing premises and stores are levelled with the ground. Fortunately the firm was insured in the Phenix and Sun Fire Offices. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.

The holder of a first-class ticket, issued at Leicester,January 28, was a passenger is the train that ran off the rails between Blis worth and Wolverton ; tie was thrown with great violence against another passenger, and the shock unfitted him from attending to business for some days. Awarded 141. 14s. No. 6. The party in this instance is a clerk in the Travelling Post office, and the holder of a periodical ticket, No. 5,474, and was se verely injured, especially in the face and eyes, by the collision of the mail with the goods' train, that occurred on the 13th February, near TBE EIGHTH of OCTOB ER, 1850. The EIGHTH of OCTOBER. 1850, will display a new trading feature, in the shape of an Establishment never before equalled. The •• town tourist" cannot have failed to notice, in his progress to the west end QC the metropolis, an extensive range of premises in e , urse of erection at the corner of HART-STREET, NEW Ox l'ORD-STR E ET. The situation, extent, and character of these premises must, from the earliest stage of the undertaking, have impressed the public with the idea that such a project could be connected with no mean eapi talists —no ordinary speculation. of t The Gradual development of the buildin g an d th e ultimate display he same of the proprietary at once disclosed to the passer-by the true character of the speculation ; and thousands in that and other Important localities have ever since been looking forward with anx eas expectation to the opening of the West-end Branch of E. MOSES and SON. The expediency of opening an Establishment like that under con- Ilderation cannot properly be called in question. The east end and the west end of the metropolis are two perfectly y i4 linct localities ; a n d t o suc h an extent has the Capital grown, that a visit from one part to another involves both trouble and ex- Dense • the Abingdon Station, on the Caledonian Railway. Awarded 2101. The injury to the eyes appearing to be of a permanent character. No. 'l. The holder of a single journey ticket was also :t passenger in the same train. The claimant was about to proceed to New York, by the Canada, but the injury he received prevented him from doing so. Awarded 301. No. 8. The holder of a periodical ticket, No. 7,343, was injured by the collision between the passengers' and goods' train in the long tunnel in the Leeds and Bradford Railway, on the 18th February. Awarded 401. No. 9. A commercial. traveller, holder of periodical ticket, No. 16,851. was travelling by the mail train that left Newcastle at 4 P. 33. on the 15th March for Manchester, and susta ned a severe shock by the engine running off the line near the Victoria-bridge. Awarded 10/. No. 10. A Government officer and his wife were passengers by the mail train that left Durham at hall .past four o'clock r.m. on Gth May, which ran into an engine in the siding from the points not having been properly set, near the Belmont Station of the York, New castle, and Xterwick Railway, They were both much hurt by the collision. Awarded 351. No. 11. An engine-driver, whilst driving the engine of a goods' train on the 25th of May, between Blisworth and Wolverton, was thrown beneath the engine from the train coming in collision with a bale of cloth that had just fallen on the line Irons a passing train ; he was much scalded and otherwise severely injured. Awarded 421. Claims 12 to 17 were made by parties who were travelling by the excurs on trolls on the 3d July from Leek and Macclesfield to Liverpool, the weight of whieh overpowered the breaks on entering the station. The expediency of the present undertaking may be safely argued and'rota the encouraging fact, that the proprietors number from the west a lar ge proportion of their wealthy supporters, whose interests lai convenience will necessarily be better consulted in their own lo calhy, and who, in return, will have more ready opportunities of fa vouring E. MOSES and SON with their commands. It would be idle and useless to argue that such a vast speculation 4 8 the WEST-END BRANCH would not have been entered into, had not the voice of the public called loudly for it. E. MOSES and SON have had too much experience in such undertakings, and know too well how to improve the capital which the public have placed at their disposal, to enter into a project like the present unsupported by t he Public, front whom they derive that c anidence without which meltan enterprising specul a ti on wou ld never have been attempted: aln starting the Branch of the City Establishment at the West. end, n MOSES and SON have t a k en espec i al care so to model their ar ...gernents to the requir emen t s o f t h e locality, as to render this uranch suitable to all parties. The BESPOKE TAILORING DEPARTMENT is deserving of Darticular mention ; being, as it is, the first at the West-end, in point Of b ushiess-arrangement, accommodation, and fashion. The Nobility and Gentry will here meet with no obstruction or c onfusion. and wilt nave no necessity to pass through the more busy pertion ut the Establishment, there being' aseparate private entrance .to this department, with distinct accomin , dation for servants in at tendance. Attention is also called to the fact, that hart-street, 'Rine,' runs parellel with Oxford-street, being quiet and private, af fords safe standing room for carriages —a circumstance worthy the a ttention of the gentry. In connexion " with the Bespoke Department, there are SOLE 1 1 ABIT FITTING-ROO MS, and FITTING-ROOMS for GENTLE MEN, besides DEPAR'rMENTS devoted to the JUVENILES. '' v erYthing has been done by the proprietors to render their Branch kstabltsinnent in these important respects (without qualification of e r rns), the first Establishment i n th e fi rs t f as hi onable locality in the madeu'. In the arrangements of the READY-MADE DEPARTMENTS th ere are also those recommendations which cannot fail to elicit the nlqtroval of a discerning public. The classification of goads, the ready ingress and egress, and every Other arrangement, are such as must conduce to the accommodation and satisfaction of the purchaser. For such an Establishment, in such a situation, the most superior tUortrnent of fashions has been prepared. The proprietorshave determined not to be equalled in the collection or dress at their West-end Branch and, in order to produce the first tn'necimens of attire, they have not only made purchases of the most iPerb materials in Cloths, Silks, Satins, Alpacas, Lustres, &c., &c., haVe secured the most elegant and novel designs, by offering _Nitelsome prizes for the best tipecimens of artistic skill in cut and 7 n nship ; an experiment which has proved more than success .lll min end. The GENTLEMEN'S WINTER OVERCOATS, and the other ar t,re. of attire, when inspected, will prove that the proprietcrs are not Stock in exaggerated terms in thus recotnmending the present atock of Attire. In LADIES' HABITS, E. MOSES and SON intend to convince I heir supperters, that as Fashionable Tailors, th e y are ne i t h er to be surpassed nor equalled by many degrees. Their STOCK of JUVENILE CLOTHING calls alike for terms of the highest r ecommendation. Where this branch of the Tailoring Fade has b een too often overlooked or slighted, E. MOSES and SON hive made it a point of particular study ; nor do they question for a i noment that their endeavours will secure anything short of the highest approbation. ihdA conspicuous feature at the New West. end Branch of E. MOSES SON is th a t o f a STOCK of READY-MADE LIVERIES, which, ough elegant in the ext reme , and superior in material, are sold at Ariees exceedingly advantageous to the purchaser. The attention of ~.the -Nobility and Gentry is p ar ti cu l arly directed to this brunch of the .40 Drietors' business In New Oxford -street. , KTOCK of SUPERIOR MOURNING, at prices less than those ilarged anywhere else, by 50 per cent., is also deserving of promi !lent, mention. No advantage will be taken in the furnishing of these articles of the melancholy circumstances of bereavement, or of th e haste in the adoption of such attire—circumstances which have ' O O olio led to imposition on the part of tradesmen. The SHOOTING -COATS, FI S HING-COATS, LOUNGING "OATS, and the various ready-made goods are in keeping with the rest of the articles sold ; and the most extreme satisfaction Must re- Stilt front an inspection and trial of the Stock. t A luxe and fa s hi ona bl e co ll ect i on of HATS and CAPS adds much Sr the r eeouirnendalons of the new Branch H ouse ; and the Public are assured that here their interests are equally consulted. The system which the proprietors intend to pursue at their New .tatilisliment is not new. Th e i r o ld sysiem of cheapness, coupled wi th quality and fashion will be in operation at the Branch House as at the Origin al Establishment. T he Return of C as h or E xc h ange of Goods, and. the marking the price otettch article in plain figures, will in no way be departed from 4 l the West-end Branch. hi nt this announcem en t E. MOSES an d SON would unit that their New Premises In Oxford-street are of the most novel, h el egant, and commodious description. Th e E s t a bli s h ment i s an Ex ibition itself, quite alone in point of style, convenience, and decora- An —and is well deserving a visit from the curious in these matters. Grexcursion, in fact, would be well repaid by a view of this superb ading. structure, of which no idea can b e f orme d except u on in- Pec tion. The prop r i e t ors take this opportunity of inviting the Public to view firio h New W es t -end Branch Establishment, whether purchasing or tl°; where every attenti on w ill b e pa id to them, and every informa s „n given. ' l aving thus an nounce d t h e opening of the New Branch Establish ntent, and having touched (in as brief a manner as possible) on the econunendations there held out, E. MOSES' and SON would ac knowledge gratefully that vast amount of favour at the hands of the vaulte , to which alone they can date this proud advance in their Z s peculations ; and the proprietors would assure the Public, that it is e e n* determination to merit renewed suppo r t, b y an adherence at New Establishment to those principles which have worked so Well at the Ohl. *.• Will be OPENED at T o 'clock TUESDAY MORNING, the Bth bf OCTOBER... en on ---- • No. 12.

After the amendment on the motion for ten di rectors, as the basis of the new board, on Wednesday, had been referred to a poll, as mentioned in our yesterday's report, the meeting resumed business. Mr. MOWATT, M.P., moved that in addition to the ten gentlemen whom he had already moved as the basis of the new board, the number of directors to be increased to 22, by the addition of the following names :—Messrs. Akroyd, Harper, T. Barnes, Brog den, Botterell, W. Evans, S. Fielden, H. Houlds worth, F. Mowatt, A. Watkin, W. Rawson, and Joseph Thornton. Mr. T. FIELDEN seconded the motion. Mr. HARPER, as a retiring director, and indifferent about his own election, strongly advocated the policy of electing Mr. Mowatt, as a gentleman who, even if he should be excluded by the turn of a few votes obtained by proxy, would still have with him the feeling of a large body of the active proprietors at tending business meeting•, and they could never hope for peace. Mr. G. WasoN expressed his unfeigned astoni►h ment that Mr. Garnett, as the representative of th• old board, should have omitted from their list the name of Mr. Henry Houlds worth, their late chair man, and said, though it might cost him his own seat at the board, he would vote for the list which con tained that gentleman's name.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. GARNETT here came forward to more as an amendment the list to which Mr. Wilson had re ferred, and which he had previously read over in an incomplete state. He moved that the board be in creased to 20 members, including Messrs. T. Barnes, J. Crossland, S. Fielden, J. Andus, E. B. Beaumont, J. Hargreaves, J. Holme, J. Ralph, H. Hornby, and J. Riley. _ _ _ Mr. PARSONS seconded the amendment. On a show of hands, the CHAIRMAN declared the amendment lost. Mr. GARNETT demanded a poll, and as the poll on the previous amendment had not yet been completed, the meeting was now adjourned till 12 o'clock yes terday, to resume business when the result of the poll was ascertained. The proceedings of the meeting so fur were over by 7 o'clock in the evening, but the poll lasted the whole night. Yesterday morning the business was to have been resumed at 12 o'clock, but the Secretary informed the meeting that the poll was not yet over, and the Chairman declared the proceedings further adjourned to that time. At 4 o'clock, however, the numbers were not ready, and the meeting was waiting at 5, when our report was dispatched. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, OCT. 3.
