CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Euston station of the London and North-Western Company ; Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., the chairman of the company, presided. Mr. BROOKS, the secretary, xead the report, of which the following is an abstract . :— " Although the returns of the Chester and Holyhead Rail way during the half-year under review have fallen far short of those which its natural traffic, when fully brought into operation, is calculated to yield, the direc tors are still of opinion that, as time has not been el lowed for the completion cf the works and arrange meats which are essential to the development of the real capabilities of the line, the following comparative state ment showing the earnings of the railway and steam boats during the first six months of 1850 and 1851 re spectively, together with the amount of working ex penses by which those results were severally attained, may be regarded as satisfactory:—Half-year ending 50th June, 1850, the receipts on the railway amounted to 57.481 L, the expenditure to 35,637 L, and the profit to. 11,844 L; the receipts on the steam-boats amounted to 4,0891., the expenditure to 9,9051., and the loss to 5,816/., which deducted from the profit left a net amount of 16,0271. The receipts for the half-year ending 30th June, 1851, on the railway amounted to 61,662/., the expenditure to 33,184/., and the profit to 28,4781; the receipts on the steam-boats amounted to 4,2081., the ex penses to 6,6391., and the loss to 2,4311., which, deducted from 28,4781., the profit on the railway, there remained a profit of 26,0461. The increase of receipts on the rail way during the half-year amounted t0..4,181/., and the decrease of expenditure to 2,4521., making together an increase in tne profits of 6,6341. The receipts on the steam-boats had increased 118/., while the diminution in the expenditure amounted to 3,2661.. showing a de crease in the loss on them of 3,3841. The increase in the profits of the railway for the half-year and the re duction in the expenditure on the steam-boats show a difference in favour of the company of 10,0181. as com pared with the corresponding period of 1850. " The question of remuneration for Irish mail service performed previously to the opening of the Britannia bridge, from which date the contract with the Post office, cor.cluded in 1544, came into operation, has at length been settled, with the exception of two months at the commencement of the period in question, by a re ference from the arbirators to the umpirage of Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., whose award gives the company — for single mail, from the 30th of September, 1848, to the 18th of June, 1849, and double mail from the latter date to the 25th of March, 1850, 28,128/., which sum, although considerably above the estimate of the Go vernment arbitrator, is below the present contract rate. " Tho works on the original contracts are now being completed, and the directors being desirous of finally arranging the capital account, have instructed the en gineers and accountant to take the necessary steps to that end. " Of the new works adverted to in the last report, the extension at Holyhead has been most satisfactorily finished, below the estimated coat; and a goods station is now in course of formation, which, with the new pas senger station, will enable the company to afford better accommodation to the public with greater advantage to the railway. " The arrangement made with respect to the earner von Railway, having been entered into with private in dividuals, who have since been incorporated into a com pany under Act of Parliament, it is necessary, as a matter of form, that the contract should now bo con firmed by both companies, and your sanction is sought for accordingly. " The revenue account shows a balance at the 30th of Juno last of 31,358/. 19s. From this sum must be de ducted 24,761/. 19s. 6d., being the interest paid upon debentures on the 10th of July last, leaving a net balance of 6,596/. 193. 6d. available for dividend on the prefer ence shares; and your directors recommend that a divi dend of 3a. ld. on those shares be declared accordingly. " Mr. John Lambert having resigned his seat at the board, the directors have elected in his stead Dr. Rey nolds, of Coed-du, in the county of Flint, with a view to the benefit of the undertaking from the local know ledge and influence of that gentleman." The report of Mr. H. Lee, the resident engineer, stated that the extension of the railway for the pas senger traffic to the pier at Holyhead was now com pleted, and that the stage for the accommodation of the goods and cattle traffic would be ready in Novem ber. One of the coal shipping machines at Holyhead would be fixed in the course of the month for the coal traffic. The works of the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway are in a forward state, and the line as far as Port Dinorwig will be opened by the end of January next for the slate traffic, and other portion to Car narvon about the beginning of April. The works of the branch railway to Port Penrbyn, for the carriage of slates from Colonel Pennant's quarties, are now in a forward state, and will be completed and ready for traffic by the end of next month. The permanent way and works of the main line and branch railway are in a good condition. An abstract of the accounts appeared in The Sun of Saturday. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port and accounts, said be would make some observa tions on their present position and future prospects, and at the same time give a detailed account of the proceedings taken by the directors to develops the traffic and to diminish the working expenses. They would perceive, from a statement in the report, the result of some of their efforts in increasing the re ceipts and diminishing the expenditure. The net profit for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1850, amounted to 16,0001, while that for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1851, amounted to 26,0001, thus showing an increase of 10,000/., in favour of the past half-year. On reference to the traffic for the half-year ending December, 1850, they would per ceive that the net receipts amounted to 39,302/., and deducting the losses on steam-boats 2,129/., the net amount was 37,172/. During the first nine weeks of the current half-year as compared with the corres ponding period o f 1850, the increase in the recipts amounted to 6,064/., viz., 2,066/. for passenger s, 371 . for parcels, 2,150/. for goods, and 1,810/. in the boats ; and looking to the improved facilities recently adopted fur condu ctin g the tratlic, there was every reason to believe that a corresponding ine in crease in their receipts would be maintad. The traffic receipts for the past week, w hich had not yet been published, showed an increase of o ver the corresponding week of last year. It perhaps would not be much to expect that the increase would con ti n ue, and that at the end of December n ext they would find an improvement in their net profits over the corresponding period of 1850 of 20,000/. This wo uld give them, on the Ist of January, 1852, a net s um of 57,0 0 d. The debenture interest would amount to 25,000/., the preference interest to 28,600/., together 53 , 600 /. ; and after deducting this sum from the 57,600/., there would remain between 3,000/. and 4,000/. towards a dividend on the original shares. — (Hear, hear.) Every exertion would continue to be made to develope the resources of the district, and to bring all the traffic they could upon the line. It would be satisfactory if in the course of a compara tively short period they should be enabled to clear off the arrears, and pay the current interest on the deben tures and preference shares, so as to leave a surplus for dividend on the ordinary shares. With rega to the agreement with the City of Dublin SteauPpd not acket Company he had to state that the agreement ha been carried into effect. There were legal and other difficulties which rendered it expedient not to carry out that agreement. In consequence of these difficulties they came to an arrangement with the City of Dublin to book through by their boats, as well as by the corn. pany's boats. This through booking commenced on the Ist of August, and before that date the Chester and Ho lyhead had no chance of testing the advantages of thei shorter and better route to Ireland. When they consi r dered that the journey from London to Dublin was performed on their line in 13i hours, and that the old route, vii Liverpool, required 20 hours to accomplish the distance, they would readily see which line the public would prefer. The sea voyage was also a m atter of consideration with the public ; the route rid Liverpool involved 10 hours sea voyage, while bs Holyhead it was only 4i hours. There was every probability, when the facilities offered by the Chester and Holyhead Company were known, that the traffic to Ireland, from all parts of England, would eventu ally go by that route. He might mention that a large proportion of the passengers to Ireland travelled via Liverpool, but the week after the arrangement for booking passengers through commenced, th e Chester and Holyhead Company conveyed 1,000 ad ditional passengers. Arrangements had been made in North Staffordshire and numerous other places for booking passengers to Ireland. The trains at present were detained by the post-office at Chester one hour and a half, but on the Ist of October this delay would cease, and they would arrive in London at 11 o'clock instead of at 1 o'clock, as at present. This would enable them to place the mail train on the same foot ing as the express train. When they con sidered the inconvenient position of the sta tion at Holyhead, being at a distance of a mile and a half from the vessels, and com pared it with the present arrangements by which the railway was extended to the pier, commodious waiting rooms, lavatories and every convenience pro vided close to the landing place, which would be opened next week, passengers would see that the company had done everything in their power to make the shortest and best route the most convenient and comfortable. During the last half-year the pleasure traffic on various lines he usualad fallen excursi off in ens to North consequence of the Exhibiti on. Wales had been diminished, and he was informed by the directors of various lines that, instead of the gsual 4cUrsioli trains in various people going by the localities, they saved their money to go to London for the purpose of seeing the Great Exhibition. It was right that he should inform them, that in order to carry out the system of booking for all places in the kingdom which their line would be the means of reaching, they found it necessary to employ a gen tleman of great railway experience, energy, and activity, and after giving the subject their best con sideration, they selected Mr. Roney al the most ca pable person for the performance of this important duty. He had made arrangements in nearly all the towns in Ireland and England for booking passengers over the line, and thereby increasing the resources of the company. The goods traffic to Ireland had not been touched, because they bad hitherto means of trans• shipping goods at Holyhead ; but the extensions to the shipping places would be completed by the middle of October, and extensive arrangements for the landingpf cattle would be ready shortly afterwards. These several arrangements, combined with the active co operation of the Dublin Steam-packet Company, and the system of through rates, could not fail to have the effect of increasing the traffic over their line very considerably. The next important matter was the slate traffic; and if he might be allowed to express an opinion on that subject, he would say that the slate traffic would be to the Chester and Holyhead Railway what the coal traffic was to the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company. They had arranged through rates with every railway in the kingdom; and al though the rates were lower than those on the canal, they would still be remunerative, particularly as they would have a large business. A train conveying 200 tons of slate over 64 miles of their line, at one half penny a ton per mile, would pay them at the rate of 4d. per mile. He had gone into the matter with Captain finish, the managerof the London and North- Western Company, and they found that no express train could pay Bs. 4d. per mile, so that a large traffic in slates must be remunerative. They would also have a large traffic in lead ore, and when the mineral branches in connexion with their line were completed they would have a considerable traffic in minerals. The line from Bangor to Mr. Asheton Smith's quarries would be completed in January next, and the whole line to Carnarvon on the 25th of March. From these sources it was calculated they would have a traffic over the line of 40,000 tons per annum. They would also have an increased fish traffic from Carnarvon Bay to the manufacturing districts. He then adverted to other sources of traffic from coal and other mines by means of tramways which were now being con structed by the owners in the district of the Mold Railway. Considering the various sources of traffic he had mentioned, and the arrangements for convey ing the traffic which were now being carried into effect, ho thought the time would soon come when there would be a dividend for the proprietors of ori ginal shares. The London and North-Western Company were acting in perfect harmony with them, affording them every assistance, and at the same time leaving them perfectly independent to manage their own affairs in the best way they could. The new locomotive arrangements had considerably re duced the expenses of the company, and he might state, with a view to show the advantage of increasing their present traffic, that although, as he had stated, the increase in the traffic of the past week amounted to 8001. over the corresponding period of last year, the addition to their fixed expenses in working that traffic only amounted to 201., so that every addition to their present traffic would in a great measure go towards increasing their net revenue. It was not intended to propose any resolution to the meeting in respect of the preference shares, but to wait another six months, as they had no additional works to carry on or expenses to incur further than was requisite to provide for the development of the traffic. He had no doubt when the position of the company was im proved that the public would take up the remaining portion of their stock. The directors would adopt the best means in their power to promote the pros perity of the undertaking, feeling, so long as they had the confidence of the shareholders, it was their duty to do everything in their power to promote their in terests. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Admiral Mooasoat seconded the motion. Captain Firma - I - sox said he considered the report was very satisfactory. He thought the company had better retain the boats under their own control, parti cularly for the purposes of the mail train and for meeting the midday express. From his knowledge of trade in the south of Ireland he thought it would be advisable occasionally to provide an excursion train for the cattle and the pigs, as he had no doubt that it would pay well ; considering the present low state of railway property he thought that considerable re ductions might be made in the expenses. Mr. BEALE wished to know why the report was not circulated with the accounts, so as to give the proprietors time to consider it before they adopted it ? The CHAIRMAN said that the report was only agreed to the day before. He did not see that any difficulty could arise from its not being circulated some days before the meeting; he thought if everything inte resting to the proprietors was circulated prior to the meeting that very few would attend. Mr. BEALE thought it was necessary that the shareholders should have full time to consider any matter submitted to them, and that they could not be too explicit. He would take that opportunity of alluding to an article in Herapath's Journal following the last meeting, which be thought was written by their chairman (Mr. Peto), as it represented him (Mr. Beale) as acting for the bears on the Stock Exchange. —(Cries of " Order, order.") He complained that the chairman had not at the last meeting treated him with that courtesy which he was entitled to as a pro prietor. A PROPRIETOR did not see what that had to do with the question before the meeting. Mr. T. JACKSON, of Pimlico, said he had called at the office some days before the meeting for the pur pose of inspection the accounts of the past half-year, and although he was treated with the utmost courtesy by the officials, he could get no information with respect to certain items which appeared to him to be entirely different in the cash-book and journal. lie was desired by the clerk to call the next day, and having called at the time appointed, the person to explain the items was not in attendance,and he found that the books had been carried into the City about half an hour before he arrived. He then received a note from the secretary to see the books next morning at Mr. Coleman's, in the City, but when he called at Mr. Coleman's he found that the ledger had been sent back to the office. Eventually he made extracts from the three books, and on com paring them he could state that the books were not a fair record of the affairs of the company. In his opi nion the books we not in : the state in which they ought to be kept. Mr. COLEMAN, the accountant, said, in reply, that as to sending the books into the City he could state that they were not sent by his orders. He would challenge the Hon. Proprietor to prove what he had stated in the presence of any professional party. He would have great pleasure in meeting Mr. Jackson and explaining any matter with regard to the ac counts which he might require to relieve his mind on the subject. The CHAIRMAN said he was not aware that he had treated Mr. Beale in a discouteous manner at the last meeting. It was always his wish to show the courtesy that was due to every proprietor. lVith respect to the statement of Mr. Beale, that be (Mr. Peto) had written an article in a newspaper, he could only say that he was not at all accountable for what appeared in newspapers, and as to the paper in question, he bad not, and be believed could not, influence Herapath's Journal. It was a thing which he should not think of attempting. With reference to what Mr. Jackson had stated, he was quite sure that Mr. Coleman would give the most perfect atten tion to anything he might require to know, and the fullest explanation. Mr. CRADDOCK wished to know how many of the second preference shares had been taken up, and if the directors had taken up the number to which they were entitled? lie thought if the directors were to state the number of shares they held in the company that it would give the public confidence in the un dertaking. Mr. COLEMAN stated that the number of the new preference shares taken up was about 25,000. The CHAIRMAN said that the directors had taken up all the new shares allotted to them, and it would be gratifying to know that the London and North- Western Company had taken up the whole of the shares allotted to them and paid 120,0001. in respect of them. Mr. W. JACKSON, M.P., a director, said be did not consider that any advantage would be gained by stating the holdings of the directors, nor did he con as i m d e u r u t t ) h t a u tth f e u d o c !k. hie They were d bound nt e rmerely y t t o o i d i 0 0 l d t h e a i r large du ty to the best of their ability, and if the proprietors did not approve of their management they could elect others. After some further observations resolutions were passed adopting the report and accounts, declaring a dividend at the rate of 3s. id. per share on the 151. preference shares, and electing Mr. J. Lambert an auditor In the room of Mr. P. Hanhury, resigned. The meeting was then made special, and a resolu tion was passed confirming the resolution passed at the meeting of the 30th August, 1850, arproving of an - - [PRICE SD. agreement entered into with certain parties respecting the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Shrewsbury yesterday. Mr. Ormsby Gore, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, presided. There was a numerous attendance of shareholders. Mr. Butt, Q.C., attended as legal adviser to the directors. The SECRETARY read the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun yesterday. The CHAIRMAN said, the expenses to which they had been subjected by the litigation in which they had been engaged rendered a dividend impossible. That litigation had, however, been forced upon them against their inclination, and he feared they had not yet conciliated the parties with whom they had to deal. He attributed this to the manner in which the London and North-Western Company treated them. There was a statement made by the chairman of that company, at the last half-yearly meeting, to which he wished shortly to allude. Mr. Glyn stated that the o ade donn under and the p Birmingham n ug Shrewsbury ices . and in connexion and ne Birmingham (), r. Go r linewe)it hbed w e a g s g to deny the London position.—(Hear, hear.) It was tru e that when they fir s t went to Parliament they ha d t he full support of th e London land Birmingham , a nd he supposed that Mr. Glyn referred to that period; but at that time it was merely the London and Birmingham and not the London and North- Western, and came no further than the town of Bir mingham. The London and Birmingham were, however, like themselves, anxious to go westward. They were opposed by Mr. MOSS and other directors of the Grand Junction line, and owing to the errors committed by the engineer then employed by the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, their Bill was then thrown out. What was the result? Before the next session of Parliament the Grand Junction was purchased by the London and Birmingham Com pany, and then the policy of that company towards the Shrewsbury and Birmingham was decidedly different to what it had been previously. They were opposed by the London and North-Western in Parliament. He (the Chairman) must also take notice of another statement in Mr. Glyn's speech. In that speech his Hon. Friend said that the London and North-Wes- tern Company had formed a reserve fund, and for what purpose ? To pay for litigation. This was a most remarkable statement. They (the Shrewsbury and Birmingham) were a small and poor company; the London and North-Western a rich and powerful one. This was very unfortunate for them and they could not help it. If the shareholders of the London and North-Western Company were content to receive a dividend of 5 per cent. instead of a dividend of 10 per cent., it was their business not his, and there he must leave it. With these remarks be would conclude by moving the reception of the report, and he hoped that at the next half-yearly meeting he should be able to congratulate them o❑ a better state of things. The Hon. R. H. CLIME seconded the motion. Mr. W. J. BEALE, solicitor to the dissentient share holders, then handed in a protest against any retire ment, election, or re-election of directors, which is inconsistent with or otherwise than in uniformity with and upon the basis of the several resolutions passed at the adjourned special and ordinary meetings of the proprietors of this company in the months of April and May last. And against all and every of the persons since and now assuming to act as the di rectors of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company, and also against the appropriation of any part of the money due from the Stour Valley Company. The protest was signed J. Webster, R. Scott, W. B. Collis, H. Pincher, and J. Cbesshire. Mr. SCOTT said, he found by the report, that the directors had sold 1,829 A shares and 3,216 B shares, amounting in the aggregate to 31,6441. He wished to know at what period of the year those shares had been sold ? Mr. KNox (Director)—From the commencement of the half-year to the end of March. The shares were sold regularly by brokers in London, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Manchester, in the usual way of business, and at the market price. Mr. SCOTT—WiII you produce the directors' mi nutes? The CHAIRMAN—They are not here ; and you know you have no right to their production. Mr. SCOTT —For what purpose were the shares sold ? KNox—To get the money. it.—(Loud laughter.) The CHAIRMAN—I put the motion that the report be received. Mr. BEALE—I beg to say that I cannot allow this resolution to be put without pressing my question. I believe that on the 6th of May the majority was in favour of the dissentient shareholders, and that upon that the Birmingham Stamp-office was cleared of the necessary stamps for transfers by the directors. I was told that the directors sat up the whole night, and that on the morning of the Bth when Captain Probyn and Mr. Geach called at the office of the company at Wolverhampton, the directors were again in the operation of transferring shares, with the view of obtaining proxies in favour of their policy. Those were the rumours I heard, and I call upon the direc tors to prove by the production of their books or otherwise, whether they were correct or erroneous. Mr. ROT replied, that as Mr. Beale wished the meeting to receive rumours as evidence of facts, he might be allowed to say that rumour told him that the Stamp •office at Birmingham had been cleared by the London and North-Western Company. The CHAIRMAN thought isuch a course of observa tion could be of no service to the company ; it could end in no useful result. Mr. BEALE said he was content, the chairman not having denied his statement. A SHAREHOLDER wished to know whether, when the Stour Valley Railway was opened, which it was understood would be the case in October, the Shrews bury Company would have the power of running over it from Wolverhampton to Birmingham ? Mr. Ror replied that the directors were making ar rangements consequent upon the expected opening of that line, and as to the power of their running over it there was no doubt entertained by any person. A shareholder wished to know whether the Lon don and North-Western Company had given them any notice of their intended opposition to the Shrews bury and Birmingham Company running over the line ? We wanted Mr. ROT—None whatever. Sir B. LEIGIITON moved that the sum of 4,5631. 12s. 9d., charged in the report to capital account as extraordinary expenses, incurred by the recent litiga tion, be charged to the revenue account. This resolution was opposed by Mr. Roy, one of the Shrewsbury and Chester directors, and lost by a large majority. Mr. BIRD next moved that a dividend of ls. 6d. per share be paid to the class A shares out of the disposable capital of the company-3,3001. This also was rejected. The following gentlemen were next elected di rectors of the company in the room of those retiring by rotation :—Mr. Badger, Mr. Barlow (Great Western director), Mr. Perks, Mr. S. Phillips, Mr. Knox, Captain Bulkeley (Great Western director), Mr. Baird, M.P., Mr. C. Emery, and Mr. J. Shaw. Mr. SCOTT protested against the legality of these elections, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairman, the meeting separated. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

READFUL ACCIDENT IN THE COUNTY OF ANTRIM. Wednesday's Belfast papers contain accounts of a "earful disaster, by which the lives of three persons were lost, 26 persons badly (some of them, it is feared, fatally) injured by fractured limbs, and upwards of 40 others more or, less hurt by external or internal contusions. The Sad event occurred on the evening of Monday last, in the old paper mill adjoining the town of Ballyclare, in the county of Antrim, in con sequence of the giving way of the flooring of a large loft, in which upwards of 500 persons were assembled for the purpose of hearlng a lecture on Electra- Biology. Tne following account of the deplorable casualty is given in the Newsletter : " Balleclare is a pretty and thriving little town, situ ated in one of the most fertile districts of Antrim, aticatt 24 miles distant from the Ballypallady statiou on the !Ballymena Railway, and ten miles north of Belfast. To the inhabitants of this town, and those of the surround ing neighbourhood, it may easily be imagined the ea nouncement of a lecture on the new and marvellous science of electro-biology, to be accompanied by the usual experiments, was a most attractive novelty, and such was the inducekant which collected them to the number of upwards of 500 in the building which wes the scene of the accident we are about to describe. The lecturer on the occasion was Mr. John G. Thornley, an officer of Excise, stationed in the town, who: had previously exhibited >d in private with consi derable success. The object of giving the lecture, it is right to state, was not with a view to Mr. Thornley's own profit. It had been suggested that his services might be made available to aid a fund for the repairing of the second Ballyclare National Schoolhouse. A CoLl• mittee of the townspeople had, it appears, taken charge of the arrangements, and the place selected for the meet ing was the paper loin adjoining the town—an old and long unoccupied structure, about the safety of which there had been considerable doubt before the people bad assembled. The mill is at present the property of Mr. John Smyth, of White-park, and was formerly in the possession of the Messrs. Archer and Co., of this town. It is an extraordinary rambling structure, consisting of two wings joining in a right angle, and surrounded by a number of ruinous outbuildings, through which to the loft above both access and egress is exceedingly difficult, especially at night. A couple of steep ladders, very hard to climb, formed the means of communication to the loft from the lower chamber, which had been used as a store, and in which old cog-wheels and other pieces of disjointed machinery were lying. The lecture ca electro-biology commenced at eight o'clock in the evening, and occupied an hour and a half, after which the lecturer proceeded to Mesmerize, or entrance, some seven or eight young persons, who, at his request came forward for the purpose. He sucoeded with a few of these, and was about to exhibit his influence over them, having removed them towards the back part of the loft, when the curiosity of the spectators in the moi• distant parts of the room became so much excited that they rushed from all sides in a body to the central space to obtain a better view. A sudden and ominous crack beneath their feet gave but momentary warning of the penalty of their rashness. The greatly increased weigh on the middle of the flooring proved too much for its utterly inadequate support to bear, and it gave way be neath their feet, opening downwards in a fearful chasm, into which upwards of 300 persons, men, women, Ilea children, were precipitated. The scene which ensued may be more easily imagined than descr.bsd. Those who were fortunate enough to secure seats on the back portion of the loft, of which the flooring had not given way, were comparatively uninjured; but nearly all who stood, at the moment of the accident, on that portion, which occupied the angle between the two wings, e square of 30 feet, were engulfed in the horrible abyes, and thrown, with the planks of the flooring and the dislodged stonework of the dilapidated walls, to the area beneath—a fall of no less than 16 &et—among the hard, projecting, and scattered pieces of ma chinery which, as we have said, were stored below. The shrieks of the suffering multitude, the noise of the falling timbers, the clouds of choking dust which instantly arose, the rush and frantic struggle for escape, produced a scene which will be indelibly im pressed on the memories of all who survive it. The so cident was occasioned by the breaking of the beam ex actly in the centre, and, when it gave way, the flooring shelved downwards from both sides, sliding, as it were. those who stood upon it into the store below. In some places the planks prized up the masonry into which they were inserted, and in one spot a considerable mass of stone and brickwork was detached, which, falling upon the living heap below, caused the most fatal of the inju ries we have to record. It has since been discovered that if only two feet more of the wall at this part of the building had been displaced, the whole of the wing would have fallen in, and the calamity would have been a hundredfold more disastrous than it was. Much time was spent before the building was completely cleared of the maimed and bruised, and, we are sorry to add, the dead; for two persons, viz e Mr. Robert G. Howe, of Bal lynure mills, and a man named David Kennedy, were taken out of the ruins quite lifeless, and a man, wood John M'llwaine, in the last extremity of suffering. John M'llwaine was brought to the house of D. Woodside, where in the course of a couple of hours after his removal from , the mill, ho expired. Mr. Howe—a fine young man, whose loss is greatly lamented—was killed by the falling of one of the broken ends of the beam on his neck, by which the jugular vein was opened, and fatal hemor rhage ensued. Kennedy was killed by being buried under a mass of stones and brickwork; and John M'llwaine died from the effects of a fracture of the thighbone, and injury of the pelvis. The following is us accurate a list of the names of the other sufferers which it was possible to obtain, not including a large number of those who sustained less serious injuries:—Mr. John Sherrard, railway clerk, Ballypallady; Mr. Gordon, Ballyclare; Mr. Jackson, Ballynure; two sons of the late Mr. Simpson, solicitor, Ballyclare; Mrs. and Miss Woodside, Skilganaban; Mrs. Kilpatrick, Ilenryfield; Mrs. Smith, Ballyclare; Walter M'Broom, Ballyboley; James Dickey, Ballyeaston; William Martin, Thorne ditch; Samuel Thompson, Ballynure; M. Morgan, Ballyclare; James Dempsey, ditto; James Marshall, ditto; John Dickey, ditto; Lattimore, ditto; three boys and two girls of one family named Murphy; John Rosa, Ballyclare; Nelson Greer, ditto; James Stewart, ditto. All of these have sustained severe fractures either of the legs or arms. Among those dangerously injured are Mrs. Woodside. W. M'Broom, and Latti more. It is impossible to predict the result of the serious internal injuries sustained by several of the suf ferers. Mr. Thornley, the lecturer, escaped without injury. Yesterday inquests were held on the bodies of the three persons deceased before Mr. J. K. Jackson, co roner, and impartially selected juries. Verdicts—" Ac cidental death." SHIP NEWS.

THE THIMBLE -RIGGING NUISA.NCE.---NOtWith• standing all the warnings and casatioue that have appeared i n our columns, and in th ose o f our contemporaries, the game of thimble-rigging is carried on with as much success sar ever by the gang of swindlers who freciatent the Queen's park. They dare not ply their nefarious calling within the boundaries of the city, as by a clause in the Police Act they could at once be apprehended and punished. Bevontl th. boundaries of the city, however, they can pursue iheir q t. !: tern of imposition with impunity, because the law of land, as it at present stands, cannot reach them. Accordingl to a record kept by one of the rangers of the Qu e l l s , 2001. people were in that locality cheated out of no less than have last year. The actual amount, been much greater, as many persons, however, er in foolish after enough to play and to lose, are unwillingconsequently unheard of about it ; and all such cases are nb of Orangery by the rangers.
