CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST ONE OF PRINCE ALBERT'S GAMEKEEPERS. Towx-nau.., MAIDENHEAD, TUESDAY, SEPT. 23.—Very n 'derable excitement has existed for some weeks past, in co nsiderable Maidenhead, the onsequence of a gamekeeper, and Thomas Topp, in service of his Royal Highness prince Albert, having set a ferocious dog (stated to be a blood-laoun) at a poor woman, named Wells, the wife of a l a bouring man, residing in the parish of Bray ? for having gathered wood in that part of Windsor Forest in which are the preserves of the Prince Consort. The defendant was annunoned to appear before the Magistrates to answer the charge on Tuesday, the 9th instant ; but the hearing of the case was then postponed till to-day, in consequence of the woman, from the injuries she had received, being unable to attend. The sitting magistrates for the Maidenhead division of the county of Berks were Charles Sawyer, Esq. (in the chair), and John Mercy, Esq.; Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, was retained on the part of the defendant. Upon the case being called on, all the witnesses were or dered out of Court. The information of Maria Wells, upon which the summons was granted, averred that Thomas Topp, gamekeeper, of Standing-hill Lodge, in the parish of. Winkfield, unlawfully assaulted her the 23d of last August, by setting a dog at her. The accused pleaded aot guilty to the charge, by the ad vice of his counsel. Maria Wells, a decent-looking woman, about thirty years of age, upon being sworn, deposed as follows :—On the 23d of last month I was in that part o forest which is in the parish of Bray, with Mary 111.6 and Ann Lambeth. We were picking up dry wood to light the fire with. Topp came up to where we were, and took the wood we had collected from us, with our cords and sacks, and told us we had no business there. He set the dog he had with him, first on Mary Lee and then on me. I begged and prayed for my life, because of the situation I was in.—(The witness was far advanced in pregnancy.) I told him of my situation. I said to him, "If you want to take my life away, take your Fun and shoot me at once." He dogged me until I was all to a perspiration. I mean by this that he took hold of my clothes and shook them, and then set the dog upon me. That is what I mean by his dogging me. The dog had laid bold of my clothes, I fainted away, and he dogged me as long as the dog would. When I got home I fainted away three times. I was confined to my bed for a fortnight. [The dog had bitten the witness on the hip and at the lower por tion of the back.] Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—Two females were with me, who were near enough to hear what Topp said. I had been told once not to take the wood. When the keeper came up I dropped the wood, and so did the other women. We were resting when the keeper came up, and he took it from us. We went off quickly, and then he put the dog upon us. The 23d was on a Saturday. On the following Monday I went to Topp's house to get his name, as he was a stranger to me. I never told him if he gave me a sovereign I would say nothing about it. On the following Saturday I went to a chemist's at Windsor in a cart. I kept my bed for a fort night fram the Ist of September. I told Topp, when he set the dog on me, I was in the family way. I did not know Er. Pearl, of Windsor, until a gentleman of that name called on me. He wanted to examine me, to ascertain if I was in the family way. He put his hands outside the clothes. I have not had a miscarriage, as I was too far gone. I firmly believe the child is now dead. I am between seven and eight months gone with child. The dog which Topp set upon me was a good-sized dog. I was confined to my bed for a fortnight, and attended during that time by Mr. Westell. My husband was here this day fortnight ; I was unable to come. The young man, Topp, called upon me, and came into my bedroom and asked me not to go on against him. My husband came before the magistrates this day fortnight to say that. if the defendant would pay all the ex penses, and for my support while on a sick bed, I had no ob setion to proceed no further. Mr. Williams rose, and said that as the attack made by the dog was purely accideatal, the affair could now be ar ranged, with the permission of the magistrates, and he trusted they would permit it to be compromised. If Mr. Westell's bill for medicine and attendance was not exorbitant, be (Mr. Williams) would agree, on the part of the young man, to pay it. There was no animus on the part of his client ; therefore we will not atone for a wrong which we utterly deny. Mr. Sawyer—My opinion is, that the case having gone so far, must be proceeded with. Mr. Hercy—lt was a very awkward action on the part of the defendant. He goes and shakes the woman's petticoat, and thus sets on the dog, and therefore it cannot be called an accidental occurrence. Mr. Williams asked if the Bench would allow the woman to retire and speak to the defendant? It was a mode of ar ranging similar cases allowed to be adopted frequently by magistrates in London. Mr. Sawyer—The case has gone too far for that. Mary Lee, a witness called by the complainant, was then sworn. She said—l was in the forest on the 23d of August, picking up a little bit of dry wood for firing, with Mrs. Wells. It was in the woodland, in the open forest. Topp came up and said we had no business there; and told us to empty out our wood. While we were emptying out, he set the dog on me, and then on Mrs. Wells, who begged and prayed fur her life, as she was then in the family way. Topp then cast his eye down upon her, and said, " It's a lie ; she is no more so than I am ; and if I was sure she was not so, I would serve her worse." After Mrs. Wells told him she was in the family way, he took his handkerchief off his neck and tied it round the dog's, and set the dog on me until I got out of the forest. Cross-examined by Mr. Williams—l heard Mrs. Wells say to Topp, " If you want to take away my life, in my present situation, you had better take your gun and shoot me at once." Topp shook Mrs. Wells's petticoats as high as he could shake them when he set the dog at her. We begged and prayed of him to leave us alone. I was never told by Topp, or anybody else, not to pick up wood in the forest. By Mr. Hercy—l thought Topp's motive for putting his handkerchief round the dog's neck was to prevent its biting Mrs. Wells any more. Mr. Williams addressed the Bench for the defendant. He trusted justice would be done, no matter how high the rank of his master. He considered that it was a plot and a con spiracy got up against his client, for it was impossible to be lieve that both the witnesses had told the truth. He was surprised at the absence of Mr. Westell, who had attended Mrs. Wells, for he could have proved if she were enceinte. Mr. Pearl, surgeon, of Windsor, who had been called in as an arbitrator, would give his evidence on this point. In guard ing against oppression from the great, we should also equally guard against extortion from the weak. The affair was a *bulous piece of business altogether. The woman went to Ile defendant, and told him that for a sovereign she would settle the business. This, however, he (Mr. Williams) could not prove, because his client could not be sworn. The Bench Is called upon either to dismiss the case, or inflict the lowest fine the law allows. _ _ Mrs. Wells here informed the magistrate that she was firmly of opinion that the child was dead. (The woman ap peared to be enduring great pain.) Mr. Williams said be should now call Mr. Pearl. As Mr. Westell was not present, he (Mr. Williams) had no doubt that he was afraid to submit himself to a cross-examina tion. He (Mr. Williams) would contend it was a mere accidental rencontre ; and as to an assault, none had been proved in law. Mr. Geoffrey Pearl, surgeon, Windsor, was then sworn, and stated as follows from a written paper he held in his hand, I saw Mrs. Wells on the 13th of this month, at her own house. I was requested to see her by Mr. Turner (Prince Albert's head-keeper.) She told me she was seven months gone with child. I asked her to allow me to put my hand upon her body. There did not appear to be any child; or not one so large as if she had gone six or seven months. 1 asked her if she had miscarried, and she said she had not, but that after she had been attacked by the dog she had ex perienced symptoms of miscarriage. It was my opinion there were no symptoms of the kind. She said she thought her illness was brought on by the fright. Ido not think she is seven months gone. I should think, by the appearance of her face, she could not have had the floodings she com plained of. Her face was not blanched. Mr. Pearl added, in reply to a question from the complainant, " I examined you by passing my hand round your body." bars. Wells—You came to me in a very improper and un gentlemanly manner while I was in bed. I never allowed him, gentlemen (addressing th e B enc h) , to exam i ne me. Mr. Pearl—lf there had been a child, I must have dis covered it. This being the whole of the evidence, Mr. Sawyer said, in this case an assault had most un doubtedly been committed. That Topp was there, and had set the dog on the woman, was very clear. It was the duty of a servant to protect the property of his master in a leg i timate manner; but Topp had not so protected his master's p r operty, but in a most illegal manner, not to be justified. If the woman were in the family way she is liable to serious injury. The assault, in his opinion, was proved. Mr. Hercy agreed in the opinion expressed by his brother magistrate, that the assault had been committed by the de fendant's setting the dog on to the complainant. lie consi dered it totally out of the question to believe for one moment that the affair was accidental. Mr. Sawyer, in judgment, observed that he should view the otfence of which the defendant was guilty in the same light in which, he trusted, it would be viewed by Prince Albert, the defendant being in the service of his noval High ness. He should therefore adjudge that the defendant be fined 21., and that be pay the costs. The fine and costs, amounting together to 21. 10e. 6d., were paid by the father of the defendant. The proceedings, which occupied a considerable time, crested great interest to a crowded auditory. TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. DIVIDENDS. At the Court of Bankruptcy, Ba3inghall-street. T. F.

CHATHAM, SEPT. 13.—The following detachments of regiments serving in India have arrived at the invalid depot, Casemate-barracks, at Brompton. They consist of 104 men, including seven sergeants of the 78th Highlanders, with ten women and eight children, and twenty-nine men, including five sergeants, of the 17th Regiment of Foot, with four women and sixteen children, under the command of Major R. J. P. Vassal), of the 78th and Assistant-Surgeon John Innes, of the same corps. The ;hove troops embarked at Bombay, on board the ship Columbus, of 500 tons burden, Cap tain Short, on the 13th May last; and during their passage, lasting 130 days, arriving off Gravesend on Sunday the 21st inst., the troops lost by death nine men of the 78th, and eight men of the 17th, also three children, and Mrs. Moore, wife of Lieutenant Moore, of the 28th Foot. The whole of the men of the 78th are completely worn out by the fatigue and the sickness they have endured in India. Their account of the maladies in their regiment—of the hundreds that died—is horrible. The men of the 17th that have arrived are all sick, and were so at the time they embarked. The ship brought home Major Minto and lady, Lieutenant Whitehall and lady, of the 2d Bombay European regiment, and Lieut. Moore, of the 28th. A private of the 10th Light Dragoons was brought home, he having been discharged with igno miny. The troops will undergo medical inspection at Fort Pitt, previous to their discharge. The following detachments also arrived at the invalid depot from Gravesend, where they disembarked from the ship Princess Royal, Capt. Stephenson, from the West In dies. They consisted of two sergeants, and seventeen men, five women, and eleven children, of the 71st Highland Light Infantry ; two sergeants, six privates, two women, and one child, of the Ist Royals ; six privates, two women, five children, of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, and three corporals, six privates of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers ; 85th, one corporal and thirteen privates ; one sergeant and one pri vate, with two women and two children, of the 2d West India Regiment ; and two privates of the 3d West India Regiment. The above embarked at Barbadoes on the 4th of August last, under command of Lieutenant Conway F. C. Seymour, 85th Regiment. Dr. Hardy, and Dr. Hugh Bone , Inspector-General of Hospitals, came home with the vessel, the Inspector-General having been relieved by Dr. Davies. The men of the 23d, with the exception of one, are all so bad that they are obliged to be in the hospital. The following deaths occurred on board I—one man and one child, 71st ; two men, 7th Fusiliers ; and two men, 85th. EAST INDIA HOUSE. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) THE RAJA OF SATTARA. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then, in a speech of considerable length, moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of Lieu tenant-Colonel Ovens during the period that he filled the office of Resident IA the Court of Sattara. The motion was seconded by Mr. PETER GORDON. The CHAIRMAN said that Colonel Oven's conduct had been investi gated by the Government of Bombay, and that Government, as well as the Committee at home, had expressed themselves satisfied that he had acted throughout like an honourable man and a faithful ser vant of the Company. He would move as an amendment that the motion be negatived. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE supported the motion. Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON affirmed, in the presence of the members of the public press, that no investigation had ever been made into the charges brought by him against Colonel Ovens, and it was an in sult to the Proprietary to refuse fall inquiry into the subject. The Court of Directors need not expect to get rid of the question, for he would bring it forward at every quarterly meeting. The motion was negatived by a great majority. Mr. THOMPSON then gave notice that he should propose that coun sel's opinion be taken as to whether the dethronement of the Raja was a legal or illeal at, and whether it was not a direct violation of the 33rd George lII c ., cap 52. The Hox. PROPRIETOR also gave notice that he should, at the next General Court, prefer certain charges against Lieutenant-Colonel Ovens. The Court then adjourned. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert visited Barton Farm on Tuesday afternoon. There was no addition to the royal dinner circle at Os borne House in the evening. Yesterday morning her Majesty and the Prince walked in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne House. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken their accustomed airing on the sea-beach yesterday forenoon. _ _ _ . . Ihe Marquis of Ormonde, Lord in Waiting to her Ma jesty, has arrived at Osborne House. The Governor of the Bank of England and the Deputy- Governor had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer yesterday, at his official residence in Downing street. Dispatches from the Governor of Hong-Kong were re ceived yesterday at the Colonial-office. Dispatches were sent off yesterday evening from the Colonial-office for the Governor of Hong-Kong. Mr. John Wood, Chairman of the Excise, and the Hon. Edward Stewart, Deputy-Chairman of the Customs, had in terviews yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. HIGHLAND GATHERING IN THE "FORBES" COUNTRY. On thelsth ult. the annual meeting of the " Lonach High land and Friendly Society" was celebrated in the country of the Forbes. For some time previous the note of preparation was sounded through the strath, and this, combined with the increasing prosperity of the institution and the laudable and benevolent object it had in view, conspired to excite an unusual degree of interest throughout the district. The wea ther, fortunately, was everything that could be wished, and in consequence the influx of gentry and others interested in the stirring games of the north, from all quarters was very great. " Lonach," the slogan or war-cry of the Strath'-don Highlanders, was raised at an early hour of the morning, and the trysting-place, where the contest was to take place, the Brig o' Ernan, at the foot o'Lonach, was soon crowded with an eager throng of members and friends. At the stirring summons of the bagpipe the Highlanders fell into rank, and after, in procession, they had paid their usual visits, the sports of the day began. There were numerous competitors fur the various games, and the several contests from beginning to end were conducted in the true Highland spirit of friendly rivalry. The competition for the prizes to be awarded for the best Highland (lancing, and for the best terpsichorean display of the famed " Gillie Calum," especially interested the numerous congregation of spectators. Never on any previous occasion had better skill been displayed ; while vic torious or unsuccessful, not one of the great number who en tered the arena was guilty of any word or action that was calculated to mar the pleasures of the day. We are sorry we cannot find space to furnish a detailed account of the day's proceedings, else we should gladly have furnished the list of the successful competitors, with the prizes awarded them ; though perhaps it would have been invidious to have signalised a part on an occasion where every one did his best, and that well. The day's amusements concluded with a ball in the Society's large and elegant new hall. The dancing was led off by a spirited strathspey, composed for the fete by a member of the; Society, which had full justice done it by a capital band of native musicians. The ball was kept up till a late hour, and the whole day's entertainments will long be remembered as one of the most stirring and happy gatherings that has ever taken place in the " land of the mountain and the flood." We cannot close this notice without awarding our meed of praise to the generous patron of the Institution, Sir Charles Forbes, Bart., of Edinglassie, who on this, as on every other occasion, along with his gal lant sons, bas dons his best to advance its interest by liberal donations and personal encouragement of the most active and disinterested kind. RELATIVE CLOSING PRICES OF RAILWAY SHARES IN THE PRINCIPAL CITIES AND TOWNS IN ENGLAND SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND. Sept. 24. 'Sept. 23. AFFAIRS of the RIVER PLATE. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY,-The following reply has been made by the Earl of Aberdeen to an application for redress from the owner of the Sultana, which was refused admission into Buenos Ayres on account of her having touched at Monte Video, and lately returned to this port with her outward cargo : " Foreign-office, Sept. 22, 1845. . _ " Sir,--I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., in which you complain of the loss you have sustained by your vessel, the Sultana, having been refused entry at Buenos Ayres on the 9th of March last, on account of an alleged infraction of a decree of the Buenos Ayrean Government of the 13th of February, prohibiting entry at that port, after the Ist of March, to any neutral vessel that should have called or touched at Monte Video. strictly l speaking, "lan t a o k s i t n a g, te to you in reply, that although every state has, a right to interdict communications between its own territories and those of another state, nevertheless as the treaty of 1825 between Great Britain and Buenos Ayres contains an express stipulation for the freedom of commerce between the two countries, it appears to her Majesty's Government that it was contrary to the spirit of the treaty to exclude the Sultana, a Bri tish vessel, from the ports of the republic, merely because she had touched at Monte Video, in contravention of a decree of the Go vernment of Buenos Ayres, which was not issued until after the Sultana had sailed from England, and was not known to the master of the Sultana at the time when he is alleged to have infringed its provisions. " Her Majesty's Minister at Buenos Ayres will therefore be in structed to represent the case in strong terms to the Buenos Ayrean Government, and to express to tkem the confident ex. Pectation of her Majesty's Govern m e nt that proper compensati on will be made to you for the losses which you have sustained by the p ro hibition enforced against your vessel in the port of Buenos Ayres. —I am, Sir, your bumble servant, " H.

HOW TO GET A TIGHT RING OFF A FINGER...- Thread a needle flat in the eye with a strong thread : pass the end of the needle with care under the ring, and pull the thread through a few inches towards the hand : wrap the long end of theithread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down to the nail, to reduce its size. Then lay hold of the short end of the thread and unwind it. The thread pressing against the ring will gradually remove it from the finger. This never-failing method will remove the tighest ring without difficulty, however much swollen the finger may be. It is the popular belief in some parts of Hamp shire that the black fever, mercifully Sparing human beings, has seized upon the potatoes !—Sherborne Mercury. Loan llowE.—We are authorised to state that Lord Howe is not a supporter of the " Rugby, Derby, and Manchester Railway" project. A declaration that he was, renders it necessary that publicity should be given to his Lordship's " contradiction of such a barefaced statement." THE MASTER PASSION.—The name of the principal story in the work just published by the author of "Ilighways and Byways," though belonging especially to one of love and ealousv, applies equally to another extraordinary narrative in the same collection, called " The Gambling-house at Brus sels," which is a striking and highly effective illustration of the engrossing influence a propensity fur gambling exercises over the mind. Among the numerous Visitors the gay capital of Belgium has received from England, there can be few who will not be interested in this remarkable story, as it has been confidently stated that the incidents, extraordinary as they are, which Mr. Grattan so cleverly narrates, are actual cir cumstances, the recollection of which has not yet faded from the minds of those who were staying at Brussels at the period.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. FAMPOUX AND HA ZEBROUCK. The first general meeting of the shareholders OFthis railway was held yesterday afternoon at the offices of Mr. Benham, the solicitor to; the Company, in Austin-friars, for the pur pose of receiving the report of the Directors upon the pros perity of the undertaking. The chair was taken at three o'clock by Andrew Spottis woode, Esq., and the usual formalities having been gone through, the report was read by the Secretary, from which it appeared that the line had been obtained for 37 years and 316 days; that the road now possessed by the Company left the Great Trunk Line at Fampoux or suburb of Arras, and passing near Lens, Merville, and through Bethune, terminated at Hazebrouck, the whole dis— tance being 54 kilometres ; at this place the branch line of the Great Trunk Line from Calais and Dunkirk meet the line belonging to the Company, which would afilird a shorter road to the metropolis then by Lille and Douai. The present line ranked not only among the richest, but the most compact lines of France. From the engineer's report it would appear that the estimate of the expenditure was nearly one million of francs below the capital. The line had been carefully surveyed, and there were no difficulties of anv importance to overcome. The prospects of th e Com pan y would be considerably brightened when the projected North Kent Railroad was opened, as travellers would then, in all probabi lity, ge:from Dover to Calais, and onwards by the Fampoux line. Until the opening of the line, interest at the rate of four per cent, would be paid on the paid-up capital. The CHAIRMAN said, at the conclusion of the reading of the report, that it was totally unnecessary for him to say a word on the affairs of the Company, as the report was so ex plicit on that subject. Captain Chamier, who had just arrived from Paris, was present, and would be happy to answer the questions of any Proprietors. Captain CHAMIER was happy to inform the Shareholders that they were engaged with the most respectable Committee in France. It was generally thought when they came in contest with the Rothschilds that they would lose their line, but the high character of the gentlemen forming their Com mittee saved it. He could assure the Shareholders that they would form a most erroneous notion of the value of their shares if they looked to the quotations in the London news papers, in all of which they were quoted at different prices, and in some as low as fifteen or sixteen francs; the real fact was, they were at 35 and 36 francs.—(Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in saying . that the fine would pay at least 6 per cent. ; and the engineer had reported to him that if the winter should turn out to be a mild one, it would be completed in a year; added to this, the Minister of Public Works had promised hini that the line should be placed on the same footing as the Great Northern. The superiority cf this line was great over many others, and its merits only wanted to be more known to ensure its being not only a successful, but excellent enterprise. Several questions having been put by different Proprietors to Captain Chamier, and satisfactorily answered, thanks were voted to the Chairman and the Gallant Captain, and the meeting separated. SHEFFIELD, ASHTON.I.INDER-LYNE, AND MAN . CHESTER. This Company held their half-yearly meeting yesterday at their offices in the Manchester station, at which there was a very nume• roue attendance of shareholders. John Parker, Esq., M.P. for Sheffield, Chairman of the Board of Directors, having taken the chair, the Secretary, Mr. John Platford, read the advertisement calling the meeting, and the report of the Directors, which stated that, with the exception of the tunnel, the works on the line had been completed since the last report, and were open to the public since the 14th of July last. That amongst other subjects of con. gratulation, the Directors could refer to none more encouraging than the result of the imperfect experiment on the probable traffic on the line; for, in spite of every interruption of four miles of mountain road, the transit over which was necessarily most tedious, and the total absence of goods traffic from by far the greater portion of the line, the Proprietors could not but recognise in the amount of weekly produce the certain indications of an ample eventual return. The statement of the goods and passenger traffic then followed, by which it appeared that from December, 1843, to June, 1845, the gross sum received by the Company for the transmission of goods and passengers along their line amounted to over 52,1591.; and that the profit to the Corn. pany on the goods and passengers' traffic, for the half year ending June, 1845, amounted to 0,117/. The report then went on to state, that the Board had equal reason to congratulate the Pro prietors upon the result of their Parliamentary proceedings of last session; for of the seven Bills in the fate of which the Company were more or less interested, no fewer than five, all of them con. tributing to this line, had received the royal assent. Those Bills were, the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal, the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction, the Great Grimsby Railway, the Great Grimsby Docks, the South Junction and Altrincham. A sixth, the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, from its unfortunate po sition in the London and York group, was barred by lapse of time from obtaining in the House of Lords that success which its supe riority over the rival lines secured it. One only, the Barnsley Junction, was unsuccessful, and the Directors had already taken steps to repair and Improve the disa s t er . T hat the Bill for leasing the line to the Bir mingham, Midland, and Manche s t er Companies had been withdrawn, in obedience to a vote of the Shareholders. That shares to the amount of 287,5001. had been created, under the Ashton and Staley -bridge and South Junction and Altrincham Acts, for the completion of the railway works. That the Barnsley Junction Company had been amalgamated with this Company, on the terms of the original understanding, and scrip for this and other objects, amounting to 1,030,0001., was in the course of being issued. That it was the intention of the Directors to solicit Acts, in the next session of Parliament, for several extensions. That a line from Dukinfleld and Heyfield was required for the increasing population of that neighbourhood. That the minerals of the Barnsley district would be fully opened by well-considered branches, to be concerted between this Company and the landowners; to h butt,ase conclusion nczin to formp o rietors of the th Don seea Naviga tion in ga ctioanijuhnadctijount come with other interests, into a Canal and Rail way Company, and had given th e Di rectors to understand that a formal invitation to participate therein would be shortly addressed to them, it was obvious that an exact specifica tion of branches would beat present p remature, and that the de signs already entertained might require modification. That inde pendent of the above the Board intended to prosecute with energy the extensions via Barnsley to the eastward, and that arrangements had been all but concluded with a powerful party at Hull, which would not only give access to Goole in a manner at least equal to that hitherto advertised, but place the Company in possession of a far shorter road to the first-mentioned most important sea port of the Humber. That a treaty for the amalgamation of their line with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and Great Grimsby Companies, involving a further amalgamation with the Great Grimsby Dock Company and the East.Lincolnshire Company, had been brought to a successful termination. That it would become the duty of the Directors within a short period to call the Shareholders together for the consideration of the subject, and they would of course onlyr f avail themselves of the occasion to state the result of the negoti a . g t , he s m nd ean t t o ime m t a h k e e y h a ad final to repeat settlement the branches. now pendin g, aln n firm conviction that the possession of friendly and independ en t P outlets if possible from sea to sea, was as essential as ever to their prosperity. With the South Junction already in their hands, a n d i with access to the German Sea already within their reach, there must arise in the public mind an increased confidence in the stability of their affairs. And that so convinced were they of the policy of amalgamation en fair and equitable terms, and upon a basis of interest common to the three companies, that they had net the smallest hesitation in recommending it for the adoption of the Shareholders. The Engineer's report was next read, from which it appears that by the report of that officer, made in March last, he expressed his conviction that the completion of the tunnel was likely to take place in the following July; but he regretted to say that his anti_ cipations had not been realised ; that the difficulty of obtaining men and keeping them at their work in such a situation as the tunnel, was gated by the contractors to be ;,the reason why their proceedings had not been so vigorous as they had hoped; but he was convinced that no exertions had been spared in order to push on the work, though great inducements had been held out to the men ; but still, in such a work of unparalleled magnitude, it would be quite impossible to speak with any degree of certainty as to the time of completion. The total length of excavation yet remaining to be removed was 80 lineal yards, and about '230 yards to be lined with masonry. From the progress hitherto made with the work, he was inclined to believe that this would be completed in about eight weeks ; after which about 800 yards of ballasting would remain to be laid, which would be finished in about a mouth, and that therefore the whole would be completed by the end of the year. He concluded by stating that the work had been exceed ingly well and substantially executed, but regretted that the an fortunate accident which happened to one of the viaducts on the Ashton branch, as well as the difficulty of obtaining the land, had prevented its being completed ; but every arrangement had since been made, and the viaduct had been rebuilt. A general abstract of the receipts and expenditure of the Com pany since its formation in 1836 to June, 1845, was laid upon the table, and by the statements it contained it appeared that the amount of the sum received for deposit was 430,6951., that the sum received for re-issued shares amounted to 133,3101. 19s. Sd., the loan account to 446,6711 , the traffic receipts to 86,6901., and the gloss account, including minor items, to 1,313,225/. On the debit side of the account there appeared an item for law charges to the amount of 1,195,7011., stock 54,2301., traffic department, ' 34,5811, to the Manchester and Birmingham Company, including tolls, ire., 21,3111. ; and leaving a balance to the credit of the Company, to the amount of 45,3981. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at very great length, upon the general state of the affairs of the Company, and dwelt upon the fact of their having obtained last session five Bills out of seven, as a most important and cheering feature in their favour. He went over In review, and with great minuteness, the position and peculiarities of each of the Company's proposed branches. He said he conceived that the Directors were warranted in opening to the public as much of the line as had been completed, even though it was not expected to ray. He was aware that their arrrangements for the conveyance of passengers along the line were very incomplete, and often gave rise to complaints ; but he had reason to believe their subsequent arrangements had been found more satisfactory. He admitted that laying the account of the receipts and expendi ture before the Company as it appeared to.day was rather a clumsy mode of doing it, but they could adopt no other course while the entire line was open. With regard to the Lincolnshire line, he had every hope, from the favour their other project had met with, that it would pass next session ; for it would only require to be reproduced in the House of Lords, having passed the Commons. With regard to their ri.Action with the Great Grirnaby Com. pany, he had no doubt but that at their next meeting he would Le enabled to congratulate them upon that matter having been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The only terms upon which the Liverpool and Great Grimsby people would join them, were what they called terms of perfect equality, but these terms would be found fair and reasonable. when they came to consider the expense of their line as compared to the cheapness of the other. The East Lincoln Company was as yet only a project, to be brought before Parliament next year; but they too could, if they chose, join this Cumpany. The meeting would not to.day be called upon to come to a vote upon the pro posed terms of amalgamation, but they would be read, and the Shareholders would be afforded sufficient time to consider them fully. With respect to the River Don Company, he had their permission to say that they would in a very short time state the terms in which they would ask the aid of this Company. The Barnsley Junction line, he trusted, would be persevered in, for it was lost last year, not on its merits, but on a point of form. Mr. Hudson said, at a late meeting, that the line was a most important one, and if no company could be got to make it, he would. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. A short discussion followed, on some matters of figures, after which the report was adopted, and the usual votes of thanks having been passed, the meeting separated at four o'clock, having sat three hours. The following are the resolutions to which the Chairman alluded in his speech as these which would be proposed or read, containing the terms on which the amalgamation was to take place. First, that the Sheffield and Manchester, Great Grimsby and Sheffield, and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Companies, be amalgamated. Secondly, that presuming it to be the intention of the Great Grimsby Dock Company to amalgamate with the Great Grimsby and the Sheffield Railway Company, it is proposed to include the Dock Company in the amalgamation. Thirdly, that the parties present recommend that the East Lincolnshire Company be also subsequently included in the amalgamation, if that company should obtain their Act in the next session, and coincide in such measure. Fourthly, that the amalgamation company be taken at par, and all liabilities be paid its full. Fifth, that in lieu of dividend, interest at the rate of four per cent. be allowed upon the capital to the Shareholders of the different companies amalgamating with the Sheffield and Manchester Company, upon the amounts paid up by them, until the opening of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield and Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines through out. Sixth, that during the payment of the 51. per cent., the in come arising from the partial opening of each of the lines be placed to the credit of capital. Seventh, that until the opening of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield, and Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines, the income arising from the Sheffield and Manchester line be divided amongst the Proprietors of that Company. Eighth, that the capital of the Leeds and Wakefield and Pontefract and Goole Companies for the purchase of the land for the branches to Banter and Caistor, and for shortening the line to Barnsley and Welby, belong only to the Proprietors of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Company, and that all future issue of stocks by any of the amalgamating Companies be appropriated to the Share holders of the amalgamated Companies pro rata. Ninth, that until the Act for amalgamation be obtained, each Company con duct its awn affairs, and that after the amalgamation the Directors consist of fourteen in the first instance ; that eight shall be ap pointed by the Sheffield and Manchester Company, two by the Sheffield and Lincoln, and four by the Great Grimsby Company, and that its the introduction of the Dock Company into the amal gamation, they shall have power to appoint two Directors, thus in creasing the number to sixteen. Tenth, that the Chairman of the Company be an acting member, with power to re-assemble the de putation when he should think fit. KENDAL AND WINDERMERE, KENDAL, WEDNESDAY.—The first general meeting of the Pro prietors was held at the Company's offices, in the Market-place, Kendal, yesterday. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. Ed. Wilson, of Abbot Hall, occupied the chair. Mr. Thos. HARRISON, the solicitor, in the absence of the secre tary, read the report, which appeared to be highly satisfactory. It stated that the Act of incorporation had been obtained without opposition, and at a cost much below that of other companies. In anticipatation of the advance of iron, a contract had been entered into in the month of January last, for the purchase of all the rails and chairs, at prices 30 per cent. below those of the present day. The engagement with Messrs. Brassey and Co. was also stated to have been made on the most reasonable and satisfactory terms, and there was every prospect that the line would be completed within the estimate. Mr. Errington had re signed his place as engineer, in consequence of a connexion he had formed with the Ulverstone and Milnthorpe Company, and his place had been filled by Mr. John Harris. The Directors had ob • tained possession of about one-third of the line, and the contractors were actively engaged on the works on that portion of the line. The report then went on to congratulate the Proprietors on the fact that a Company was about to be originated for constructing a line from Cockermouth, by way of Keswick and Ambleside, to Windermere, by which the chain of communication would be completed through the Lake district, to several thriving ports on the west coast, and the coal fields of West Cumberland, With regard to the deviation line, by means of which the terminus would be brought nearer to the town of Kendal, the cost had been com puted at the very lowest estimate to be 25,0001., and the Directors felt anxious to put the decision of the question to the Shareholders in a body, rather than take the responsibility of determining upon it themselves. On the motion that the report be read, Mr. NICHOLSON (Cowan Head) congratulated the meeting on the cheering prospect that was before them. The whole of the pre liminary expenses up to the half year did sot exceed two per cent. of the capital. It was known, he continued, that the plant of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway had been let to the Grand Junction, and it was felt desirable that the Windermere should be also let to the same Company. He had been commissioned to see the Chair man of the Grand Junction on the subject, and had been instructed by him to say that the Company were willing to undertake the line. Thus the principle was agreed upon, and the only thing to be fixed was the terms. Mr. John Gandy and Mr. C.;Nichol•on were appointed Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the Company. The sum of 4001. was set apart, after some discussion, for thi remuneration of the Directors for the ensuing year, those gentle. men, it was stated, having, up to the present time, given their ser vices gratuitously. Mr. G. B. Crewdson and John Steele were appointed auditors, each to receive 121., and the accounts to be audited monthly. Mr. Thomas Hudson was appointed secretary, at a salary of 2501. A long conversation took place on the subject of the alteration which was intended to bring the station nearer to Kendal. Mr. NICHOLSON said that the expense, at the very lowest esti mate, would be 25,0001., and the alteration would cause a delay of a year, while the station would be only a quarter of a mile nearer. He moved that the Parliamentary line be proceeded with. Messrs. J. Whitwell, J. H. Wilson, and W. Whitwell, spoke in favour of the deviation, and felt confident that the increased passenger traffic, and small parcel traffic, would soon repay the outlay. On the putting of the question to a division, there were seven for the Parliamentary line, and six for the deviation. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, WITH LOSS OF TWO LITES. Scyr. 24.—About two o'clock on Tuesday morning this town was thrown into the greatest consternation, by the alarm of a house being on fire on Sun.hill. On arriving on the spot we found the Horse and Groom public-house in a blaze ; the landlord (J. Keats), his wife, and five children had escaped in their night clothes, as had Mr. Jones, firework-manufacturer, and his wife and son. Two others of Keats' children, a girl, aged 13 years, and a boy, 8 years, were still in their bed-room on the second floor. The fire corn. menced In Jones's room, on the first floor. On awakening he states that he found the bed-curtains on fire; he got up, and as. sisted his wife out of the room, then all in flames, giving an alarm to the rest of the inmates, some of whom escaped down stairs, the others out of the back bed-room window. On going to bed Jones says he left a rushlight burning on the table, the window slightly open, the wind was then to the westward, it changed to the north in the night, which it is supposed blowed the curtain against the light. Jones had, it appears, twelve skyrockets, a case of blue lights, and a box of Roman candles in his bed-room, which exploded soon after he left it. There was a quarter of an hour's delay before the first engine was brought into play on the flames, and soon after the second ar rived lines were formed to the different pumps and wells in the neighbourhood by about 200 mem, and it was quite wonderful to see the quantity of buckets they were supplied with, seeing there were but twelve belonging to the two engines. Assistance and water flawed from ail quarters, and the fire was confined to the house it commenced in, with the exception of the roof of the ad joining one being damaged by the flames running under it In many instances here there is not a party.wall to the ridge in half a dozen houses. All attempts to save the unfortunates on the second floor were useless in the house, the staircases being the first parts devoured by the raging element, and no ladder could be found long enough to reach the windows of the room for a long time. When one was obtained, and an entry made, Sarah was found near the window, the upper sash of which she had partly pulled down, but being overcome by the smoke, died from suffocation. Richard was afterwards found wrapped up in a blanket, under the bed, where he had crawled, but, like his sister, died from suffo_ cation. The dreadful deaths of these two unfortunate young people has caused a great sensation, and will, we have no doubt, cause considerable additions to be made to the equipment of the fire es tablishment, as toe much has always been left to the known daring of the seamen of the port; they have always got every fire under before it extended beyond the premises on which it broke out, and often saved even them; the fires have been attacked and mas. tered before they have got any very great hold, nor till now has there been a life lost. Jones had thirty-two sovereigns and some silver in his box ; the box was burnt, but the money recovered. Keats had, in some drawers in his room, which joined Jones's, 3001. in notes, and same deeds : although the fronts of the drawers were burnt nearly through, the notes and writings were not injured. His furniture was not insured ; the house, which belongs to Mr. Eames, was, in the Norwich Union—but, some say, the fireworks being in it will vitiate the insurance. They did not cause the fire; they were not placed there by Mr. Eames, nor by his tenant, but by a lodger. Public.houses pay a higher rate of insurance for extra risk; but, if they are to be damaged, and not be able to recover their insurance, in consequence of something a casual guest may have in his box, they are placed in rather an awkward situation. The house was surrounded by extensive stabling, all wooden buildings. Had the fire extended to them, they would, in all pro bability, have carried the fire to numerous other buildings, and half the town might have been destroyed. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT _WOOLWICH. Sin,—Perhaps ymi will admit the inclosed a space in your widely circulating and valuable paper. It may, by your remarks, draw some attention, and prevent, in future, such fatal results. The recent and awful explosion, attended with fearful loss of life, at Woolwich, last week, has made a deep impression on the inhabitants, and bas called forth both regret and astonishment in all, that such a system of extracting a ma terial so destructive as percussion powder f rom f usees b y means of steel chisel, should in these days of enlightened science and superior chemical knowledge be for a moment allowed. Without wishing to call in question the superior skill and practical knowledge, of the talented officers who have the direction of that department, I must, to say the least, con sider that great want of the necessary precaution on the part of those whose immediate duty it was to superintend such dangerous and inflammable work, was evident. The most simple-minded tyro of the establishment well knows the danger and the effect of steel and gunpowder when opposed to each other. I trust this sad warning will have its due weight, and induce those who have charge of such deadly stores to be more cautious, and employ for the future safer, and much more simple, means for those operations. Such as soaking the fusees, &c., in water for 24 or 48 hours, would prevent any accident from explosion, and secure all employed from danger.

Woolwich, Sept. 22. FIRE AT lIOXTON AND NARROW ESCAPE OF SEVERAL Pessoss.—This morning (Thursday) an alarming fire broke out, shortly before one o'clock, upon the premises belonging to Mr. Crafter, chemist and druggist, at No. 171, High-street, Hoxton Old Town. The inmates, consisting of several persons, being in their beds at the time, it was apprehended that some of them would have fallen victims to the fire. They having, however, been aroused, the whole of them made their escape out of a window upon the small pent-house over the shop, where they ware forced to remain for some time, until police-constable 236 N could procure a ladder. That hav ing at length been accomplished, the residents, one and all, effected a safe retreat. The firemen set to work, and soon got the tire out but not before the whole of the valuable stock in trade was nearly consumed. The origin of the fire could not be learned. The smoke was at one period of such an overpowerhig nature that it entered the adjoining house and suffocated some fancy birds. The sufferer is insured in the Iliceuix office. 11ESPERATE ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE BY A FIZENCII-COLONEL. On Tuesday evening, about half past six o'clock, a waterman and lighterman, named David William Miller, of Jacob-street, Dock_ head, was standing on the upper side of the pier-head, at the entrance of the St. Katharine Docks, for orders relating to a barge he had just brought into the lock, when a tall, portly gentleman passed him in a hurried manner, walked to the edge of the jetty, and after striking himself violently on the breast plunged into the river. Miller immediately raised an alarm, and called upon the dockmen on the pier. head for a boat-hook. A long staff was immediately lowered, and the gentleman, who had twice sunk, was hooked by his clothes, and kept afloat until Miller reached him in a ship's boat, when he attempted to drag him into it. In doing so Miller discovered something projecting from his left side, and called out "he ,has a knife in his body," at the same time pulling from it a dagger with which he had stabbed himself before he precipitated himself into the water. The blood forthwith oozed from the wound, and Miller called for more aid, which was imme diately rendered, and the gentleman was laid in the bottom of the boat. He had no sooner recovered himself than he attempted to seize the dagger which Miller had thrown aside. The waterman defeated his intentions by placing his foot on the weapon, and called upon the other men in the boat to keep the gentleman down, and prevent him doing any further mischief. He was properly secured, and the boat was rowed to St. Katharine's Stairs, where Mr. James Evans. the superintendent of the Thames Police, and his boat's crew, were about to embark in a police galley. They took charge of the wounded man, and conveyed him to the Duke of Marlborough public-house, close by, where no time was lost in calling in medical assistance, and after his wound had been dressed he was conveyed to the Thames police-station in Wapping, where he was divested of his wet clothing, and a dry suit procured for him. While he was dressing Mr. Evans searched his pockets, and found in one of them his passport, and in another a handsome silver-mounted dagger case, with the initial " " engraved upon a silver plate. The wounded gentleman on recovering temporarily from the loss of blood, made several attempts to possess himself of the dagger, and was with difficulty prevented from stabbing himself again. The unfortunate gentleman, whose name is Francois Gavoisier, and who is a colonel in the French army, is 62 years of age. He is said to have served with distinction during the wars of the em pire. He would have been taken before Mr. Ballantine, but was to ill to be moved. The wife and daughter of the unfortunate gentleman soon afterwards drove up to the door of the police-court in a cab, and on being informed that be was in the London Hos pital, they proceeded to that place, and were permitted to see him. The interview was of a most affecting description. A strict watch is kept upon Colonel Gavoisier, to prevent his repeating the at tempt on his life. WHOLESALE ROBBERY ON RAILWAYS. The late apprehension of Maynard, the negotiator for the re. storation of stolen property, and that more recently of Garratt as his accomplice, has been the means of bringing to light a whole. sale system of plunder. There is not a railway terminus in or about London but what has been plundered to a very large extent, and the detection of the robbers until lately has defied the most skilful ingenuity of the several railway officers. On the capture, however, of Maynard, suspicion fell on Garratt, as being a prin. cipal party in perfecting those wholesale depredations. He was accordingly strictly watched for near five weeks, during which time he had as many residences at different parts of the town, never staying at one place more than four or five days. On his being apprehended, in North.street, Lisson-grove, after a deter mined resistance, an immense quantity of property, principally wearing apparel, was discovered in portmanteaus, carpet-bags, boxes, &c., with various railway labels pasted upon them, and the in ference was that the property formed the remains of a host of robberies on the nnmerous metropolitan lines. The whole of therailways running into London being interested in the discovery, their officers were promptly ordered to communicate with Mr. Nash and Mr. Collard, of the Great Western Railway Company, and up to yesterday, no fewer than eight distinct and large robberies on several lines were satisfactorily established. They comprise the stolen lug. gage of Price Lewis, Esq., on the London and Birming ham Railway; of Mr. Jones, on the same line; of Mr. Winter, on the same line; a large quantity of valuable papers belonging to a gentleman, and on this line also; and a quantity of luggage the property of a Mr. Keep. On the Great Western, the property of Mr. Prance, and the luggage of another passenger whose name at present is not known ; the luggage of Mr. Babington stolen on the South. Eastern Railway, and that of another passenger on the South-Western. The above-mentioLed railway companies, it is understood, for the full protection of the public, come forward to prosecute. By far the greater portion of the property, however, has not been identified, and in order that it may be, the following, amongst the mass, are most likely to be recognised :—Blue cloak, lined, marked "E. B. F.," trowsers and wrapper, marked "F. 2," blotting-paper, written thereon, " Mr. John Be. dingfield, All Saints;" a quantity of light.bue satin rib. bon ; an orange silk shirt; silk and satin scarfs ; expanding neckerchiefs; light brown and black expanding portmanteaus ; black dress coats; trowsers; socks; black and white check trow sees ; a Coal-hole Companion ; fishing tackle; razor, No. 3; curious pointed boot.jacks, marked " C. C., Esq.," partly abrased ; shirts, name torn off; silver spectacles, in a case, by Braham, of Bath ; hair, wigs, and whiskers, for disguise ; thermometer by P. M. in a case, pincushion, pearl and gold studs, mould of a head sunk in light brown stone, small spurs, glass salve-box, with a silver lid, japanned black leather shaving tackle, cut open, tobacco stopper, stag's head, microscope ; of the many things in the hands of Mr. Collard, perhaps these may be more promptly identified. It is almost clearly ascertained that these robberies could not have been effected had they not had some confederates in the /service of the railways. That the gang is very numerous is well understood; and that they have plundered the respective railway companies to an immense extent. Since Garratt has been apprehended he has been identified as a party almost always hanging about the various termini. He has been in several noblemen's families, and was re_ cently in the service of Lord Auckland, and was known amongst the members of his cloth by the soubriquet of Count D'Orsay.
