The Queen, 110 guns first-rate, and the Albion (90), the largest two decker in her MAJESTY'S service, appear on the recent cruise to have retrieved their former discom fitures, and to have outsailed, on a comparison of all the results of the various trials on which they were engaged all the other ships of the squadron ; though, in some instances, beaten by two or three of their consorts. We congratulate Sir WILLIAM SYMONDS on the success of two of his vessels on this occasion ; yet it is to be remarked that the distanced Superb (80), and the Vanguard (80), were also constructed by the same builder, and on his same favourite principle. In justice to ourselves we must observe, too, that the performances of the Superb and Vanguard on this occasion, and the equally unfortunate behaviour of the Queen and the Albion in the former cruise, abundantly and irresistibly confirm the objections so often urged to the " intuitive" principle and its wedge-like model. It is matter of notoriety that the Albion, which still retains its organic defect of being unable in a heavy sea to show her lower tier of guns, has, in the interval between these tw • experimental cruises shifted her stores, and restowed her provisions so as to neutralise some of the dangerous im perfections of her steerage qualities, her heavy rolling, Pee., which were reported on her previous trip. The Queen, it must be allowed, has also been judiciously handled at last, and altered in dock in the interval that has elapsed since that period, so as to have exhibited sailing qualities of a much superior order to any that, up to this time, she had ever been found to manifest. We are too thankful for a good first-class man-of-war not to rejoice at the distinction she has attained ; and for that distinction Sir WILLIAM SYbIONDS is entitled to take credit, as a set-off against the very seirious account which Sir CIIAKLES NAPIER, Captain BERKELEY, and other not ex officio," but professional " auditors of the navy esti mates" have brought against him for wasteful disburse ments of the public money on his own unprofitably con strueted ships. And this allusion to the Gallant Com modore reminds us of a certain " Return " moved for, last session, by another naval officer of distinction in the House of Commons (Lord INGESTRE), and just distri buted under the title of " Navy : Ships—the Queen, &c.," ordered to be printed Bth August 1845, (N 0.634). Among this mass of papers is the " Return," we alluds. to, " of the expenses in building end repairs of the ships undermentioned, distinguishing those built by the Surveyor of the Navy, Esc., BLe." In this list we find the Queen (110), built by Sir W. SYMONDS, in 1839, at a cost of 83,0001., and repaired in 1843 ; again repaired in 1844 ; and again TWICE in the present year, 1845. Now, it is curious to observe how the changeable and extensive character of these re pairs has increased in the present year SINCE the former trip of the Queen with the Experimental Squadron. The Queen is only six years old, and she has undergone repairs during the last three years of that term no less than four tines. In 1843 her repairs cost 464/. only. In 1844 her further repairs cost 1,8531. This year the cost of her first batch of additional repairs, &c., was 1,520/, being for " alterations of gripe, additional false keel, rudder, post, and stations of masts." These, we apprehend, were " alterations" very clearly eonnec.ed with those defective sailing and steer ing properties that had been so sensibly ex perienced on the former cruise. But what is the amount of the last repairs—the second demand on that account for the fist seven months of 1845 ?-6,270/. (!) for " repairs and fittings ; CAULKING, COPPERING, build ing magazines according to the new establishment, &c.' So that here is a total expense of 10,0001. in three years, for repairs of a new first-rate, which, prior to her cruise of last year, can scarcely be said to have seen the sea. If alterations of gripe, additions to false keel and rudder, and changing the station of masts, bespeak original errors of draught and construction, in what regards the steering and sailing of a ship, the caulking and new copper i ng and other most extensive and expensive repairs to her hull bespeak, with equal significance, vices of construction that have caused her timbers to strain and her frame to labour. Let us then be permitted to hope, at least, that if Sir WILLIAM is to be continued in his post of Surveyor of the Navy, he will in future condescend to learn from the ascertained deficiencies, faults and errors of con:truction always complained of in his ships, and now tested and irrefragably proved by the success which has attended these radical and elementary alterations of his original draughts, estimates, and designs, what he has so long and obstinately persisted in refusing to be taught by the practical example of other systems adopted by other builders. Whilst the yards of our private builders at Cowes, in London, at Southamp ton, at Greenock, at Douglas, have been turning ou t vessels of all sizes and capacities, from pleasure sailing yachts to steam-frigates, designed with so much theore tical science, and laid down, and built with so much technical judgment, skill, and compactness, as to be models unrivalled for the combined qualities of symmetry and sailing, of easy steerage and hardi ness, compactness and capacity, unrivalled by the naval architects of any other country ; our Government ship-building is so notoriously inferior to that of our must formidable rivals, that an old French 84 is still in our vast navy an unequalled ship of her own class ; and new 74-gun ships, like the Scarborough, no sooner take the sea than they are discovered to be so worthless as to be compelled to be broken up, and their materials sold at a loss of probably 35,000/. to 40,0001. on one such ship to the country. The official survey on the Scarborough, made in 1836 (as we learn from another of the returns before us), reported that the re pairs she then needed would amount to 47,1131. No doubt, therefore, it was far better to sell the materials of such a worthless hull at once ; but is it not intolerable. to say nothing for the present of the public peril incurred by such scandalous mismanagement, that the nation should have its money squandered on such blenders of professional incapacity? From a " Return of the expenses on the building and repairs of the Ships undermentioned, distinguishing those built by the Sur veyor of the Navy and other constructors," some of Sir WILLIAM SYMONDS' favourite craft appears to have re quired very speedy and very costly cobbling. The re pairs of the Queen, as we have already shown, in six years cost 10,1071. without any service ; 121 per cent. on her building cost of 83,0001. The Vanguard, one of Sir WILLIAM'S eighty guns, which was built for 62,1151-, cost for repairs, in ten years, 11,6001., or:within a fraction of 19 per cent. The Pique (only saved from foundering on her home ward voyage from Quebec, by the seamanship and intre pidity of the Hon. Captain Rous and her gallant crew), a 36 gun frigate, cost 33,000/. for building in 1834. In eight years her repairs had cost 6,0471., after getting on shore, 3,6701. more ; together 9,717/., or 30 per_ cent. The Vernon (50), completed in 1832, cost 48,4871. She was built in twelve months. In the first three sub sequent years her repairs were 5,5471. In the next three (1835 to 1838), 12,470/. ; in the early part of the present year, 3,5341. Thus, in thirteen years, the repairs of this new', crack experimental ship, the Surveyor's mas terpiece, it was said, before he brought out the Queen, have stood the country in a sum of 21,551/., or 44} per cent. on her building cost. But Sir WIL • LIAM'S Vestal (26) has proved, comparatively speaking, a still more chargeable affair. She was built in 1833 for 21,383/. In eleven ye;irs her repairs had amounted to 12,870/., or 60 per cent. on her build ! We suppose we are not to have these results inflicted on us in future , otherwise the exceptional superiority in experimental cruising of the Queen and the Albion will be dearly pur chased at the expense of entailing a renewal of Sir WIL LIAM'S extravagant searches after " the practical." The Madrid journals of the 3d instant contain abun dance of rumours, but no intelligence of interest. Two of them affirm that a marriage between the QUEEN and the Prince of ASTURIAS has been arranged, and will shortly take place ; while a third, the Beraldo, pro nounces the match impossible, and adds, that not the slightest symptom of such a result has been evinced dur ing the royal progress in the Basque provinces. The Globo, on what authority is not stated, anticipates a fa vourable settlement of the sugar question between the Spanish and British Governments ; and the Clamor thus denounces the NARTAEZ Ministry:—" All parties are hostile to the Government ; every class of men ex ecrates it. Liberals, Conservatives, Carlists, Apostoli cals direct against it their just resentment. There does not exist an independent journal that does not oppose it ; there is not a political party that does not consider itself outraged by it." The QUEEN arrived at Pamprluna on the 3d ; on the following day the French Princes entered the palace, and were received by the Court with every demonstration of enthusiastic welcome. Little business was done on the Bourse. The Three per Cents. were quoted 33 for account, but nothing was done in the other stocks. Most of the Paris papers contain brief comments on the arrival of Queen VICTORIA at Eu, which was an nounced to the good people of the capital in the follow ing telegraphic dispatch : " EU, SEPT. 8, 9 O'CLOCK, A.M. " The Queen of England has just arrived. The King pro ceeded to meet h er ISlajesty, and went on board her yacht. " The Queen afterwards entered the royal barge, with the King, Prince Albert, the Prince de Joinville, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and M. Guizot, and landed at Treport at nine o'clock, the weather being magnificent, amidst the acclamations of the entire population." The remarks of the Opposition journals on the eyent ire not in the best taste. A airange delusion prevails among the monopolists of France that the QUEEN in making friendly visits to her relatives at Coburg and to the French Court, had some thing else in view than per sonal gratification— that, in fact, she was on a diplomatic commission, got up expressly for promoting the com mercial interests of her country. The Presse infers that she was not successful in Germany, for, says that jour nal--" It is affirmed that the QUEEN returns little pleased with her journey to the banks of the Rhine—a journey which has concluded more abruptly than was anticipated." The Commerce, alluding to this statement, expresses a hope that " her MAJESTY had not gone to France to seek compensation for the failure, and to renew the nego tiations for a commercial treaty between the two coun tries." These appear to us very contemptible paragraphs in papers that profess to contain information for men of common sense, and certainly are not at all in keeping with the usual gallantry of the French character. The Constitutionnel, in rather a better spirit, thus alludes to the interview between her MAJESTY and Prince METTERNICH: —" The QUEEN'S journey from Frankfort to Antwerp presented nothing worthy of remark. At Frankfort her MAJESTY dined with the King of BAVARIA, whom chance had brought to that city, after a.visit to the Grand Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT, at Aschaffenbourg. M. DE MET TF.RNICH also happened to be (no doubt likewise by chance) at the royal table, and by the side of the Earl of ABERDEEN. ',lt was observed,' says a Frankfort letter, " that those two statesmen had an animated conversation which was protracted long after dinner.' A charming espieglerie is told of the QUEEN, who, observing the vivacity with which the Austrian Arch-Chancellor spoke, rose, and went:and presented him, with her own royal hand, the cup of coffee intended for him." The National makes the following remarks on the amusements prepared at Pampeluna for the French Princes : " The innocent Queen Isabella and her august mother, Madame Munoz, are not contented with witnessing the shoot ing of deer, they must have a spectacle of higher gad, and the Presse initiates us precisely in a former number into the na ture of their ingenious and delicate amusement, which con sists in seeing horses ripped up, and men killed by bulls, which are eventually slaughtered, after being stabbed, pierced, and burnt in every way. We consider these scenes as quite equal to the hunting in the German fashion. In both cases the spectacle is odious and ignoble. At Pampe luna, however, it is men, and in Germany deer that suffer. The difference is not in favour of the protegee of the Presse, and if blood must be shed, we prefer that of the deer of Gotha. What makes these royal enjoyments most strik ing is there having been got up to fete the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, who are much diverted by them. The Physician of the Malade Imaginaire offered his mistress the pastime of an autopsy ; the innocent Isabella amuses her visitors by a cruel slaughter of men and animals. In our amphitheatres they operate on dead subjects—in Spain on living ones; it is much more amusing. England is moved at seeing her young Queen acquire a taste for blood in a deer-hunt. In Spain and in France—at least amongst the friends of the daughter and the widow of Ferdinand VII.— nothing wrong is seen in a bull fight ; nay more, the scene is related in a picturesque style, as if it were a simple thing. It is then that the massacres of Barcelona, the shootings at Madrid have so far strung the nerves of Spanish royalty that there is no longer anything to fear for them in witness ing bull• fights? In this case, however, it would, in our opinion, have been well to have shown more consideration, if not for the feelings, at least for the eyes of the Regent promised to the pacific destinies of our country." The Paris Bourse on Tuesday was crowded to excess by speculators in railway lines. Before the adjudication of the Northern line, the prices were all higher than on Monday, and ROTHSCHILD'S were once done as high as 9201. This price was, however, soon reduced to about 9001., at which it remained to the close. After the ad judication, the price of the ROTHSCHILD rose to 910 f. ; after some transactions at that price, fell to the old quo tation 900 f., at which they closed. All the other nor thern promises closed about sf. higher than yesterday's prices. Fampoux to Hazebruck rose to 530 f., at which they closed. The general effect of the adjudication was less than might have been expected. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 84f. 40c. ; the Five per Cents. 119 f. 15c. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,315 f. ; Rouen, 1,122 f. 50c.; Havre, 920 f. ; Avignon, I,oBof. ; Vierzon, 805 f. ; Bordeaux, 722 f. 50c. ; Troyes and Montereau, 532 f. 50c.; Basle, 290 f. ; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 59f. 10c.

The Journal des Debats of yesterday publishes the fol lowing telegraphic dispatch, dated Madrid, midnight, on the sth instant : " An attempt at insurrection was made this evening at ten o'clock, but was promptly repressed by the troops. Only one officer was killed. ' The Duke and Duchess do Nemours and the Duke d'Aumale returned to Bayonne from Pampeluna on the Bth instant. The French fleet, consisting of seven !hips of the line, and having on board 5,000 marines, sailed from Toulon on the 6th, it was believed for the coast of Spain. The Frankfort Journal mentions that the King of Wirtem burg had been twice fired at at Meran, in Tyrol, but fortu nately without being injured. The Carlsruhe Gazette publishes the same report, and adds that the Jesuits were no strangers to the attempt. MADRID, SEPT. s.—There was only one operation in the Three per Cents., which was done at 31 3 4, at 60 days. The Panica at 7%, at 45 days, with 1 / 1 , premium. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market, yesterday, were 6,000 bags, including 1,200 American and 200 Egyptian en speculation. The market was rather quiet, but in other respects there was no change. Sales, 600 bales Surat at 3d to 3%d ; SOO Egyptian at 6%d to 7 1 / t d ; 150 Bahia at 6d to 6 1 / 8 d; 100 Naranham at 6d to 6 3 / 4 d ; and the rest American, at 3 3 Ad to 5%d per lb.—There was a good demand for Shares at full prices, but principally for the scrips. There has been lately rather an improved speculative de mand for a few of the choicest (if choice there be) of the United States' Shares and Stock. A move in the right di rection has been made by the state of Pennsylvania, and our hope is that she may continue to rise from the lowly posi tion her adhesion to repudiative principles once placed her in. We are informed that Pennsylvania Stock is worth now a much higher value than it realised a few months back. Still there is not a great deal of business doing here. There was not any Colonial arrivals of interest announced this morning. The pool is much crowded with foreign as well as colonial shipping, and a vast amount of business is at the present moment doing. It is very satisfac tory to be enabled to represent the woollen and the cotton manufactures as being most active. The abolition of the duty upon the importation of foreign wool has, contrary,to all the anticipations of the croakers against Sir R. Peersttariff, proved most satisfactory to all branches of the woollen trade. If such beneficial results have followed the opening of the Wool trade, (and there is no doubt that very considerable advantage has resulted from the abolition of this duty), what excuse can there be why the Premier should not try the effect of a free importation of foreign wheat ? Accounts from Belgium state that there was an import of potatoes from Scotland owing to the high price of the article here. From/S we d en and Moscow we are advised that their potatoes looked well, though wheat at the latter place was deficient in yield. The Continental states are doing their best to forward their crops, a proof of the attention which they would withdraw from manufacturing pursuits, provided they had sufficient ennouragement to send their produce here. A highly influential agricultural association exists in Prussia, the subscriptions to which amount to 21,000 francs per annum, each member paying 6 francs, and receiving the so ciety's reports in return. The State is said to afford aid also to the association. There is not a single price for Consols for the Account this morning. For Money 913 1 A' 2 % are the only rat es a t w hi c h business has been done. The premium on Exchequer -bills is steac:y at 465. East India Stock is dull at 269 for Money, and at 269 1 4 for the Account. Mexican Bonds in the Foreign Stock Exchange have fallen to-day to 33, and the Deferred to 17. Columbian are a shade lower also. Portuguese are steady; the Four per Cent. Dutch have rallied to 99% ; and Spanish Consols are still quoted at 27%. The - holders of Shares here in the sevaral Companies which are now represented by Messrs. Rothschild of Paris, to whom the concession of the Great Northern of France Railway has been made, are naturally desirous to have a fair principle established in the division of shares among them ; but we fear that a sort of favouritism is likely to be too general. From this remark we must not embrace either the principals of the Rothschilds, the Lafittes, the Hottingeurs, or the Rosamel Companies. The subject is one, however, to which a considerable degree of interest is attached here and in Paris. The Laffitte's Shares are at 2% 3 1 4 premium to-day, the ROsamel's at 1% and 1%, and the Pepin to Halleur at % premium. the princip a l c hanges in the 13 ritish railways thi s 1:0911141/ hate been as tillom firbt Promiaillg that the demand is fair for established and the new and well-selected fresh lines. The London and Birmingham Shares have been quoted at 221—the present price nominally. The Bir mingham and Gloucester hare realised as much, in the course of the morning, as 132. The Direct Manchester are nominal, at 4%. The Great Southern of Ireland, 26% ; the Dublin and Galway, ; the Edinbugh and Glasgow, nomival at 89; the Great Western ditto, at 168; the Half Shares, at 94; the Limerick and Waterford firm, but nominal ; the London and Croydon at 25 1 / 2 ; the Manchester and Birmingham were heavy at 72; the Midland also at 170; the Trent Valley and Holyhead Junction are on the rise ; and the York and North Midlands have receded a point or two. In the other Shares the altera tions have been but slight. CLOSING ONE PRICES PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS, O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

PRINCE CHARLES ST.EWART.—A controversy has arisen regarding the orthography of the name Stewart, it being maintained by many that it should be spelt Stuart. There is nothing more subject to the caprice of individuals than the manlier in which they spell their proper names ; the origin of appellations being en tirely lost sight of. This i s seen very ob viously in the word before us. Robert 11., Great Steward of Scotland, gave, from his office, the name by which the Scottish royal family were afterwards distinguished, and the substitution of t for d arose merely from its being more suitable to Scottish pronounci,tion. It is is said that it was Queen Mary who first a altered the mode of spelling, and havi ng b een b rought up i n France it was very probable that ahe did so; indeed, there was no other way in which French writers could spell it. There is an announcement of a reprint, with ample notes, by William 111eikleham, Esq., LL.B., of all the p assages i n th e Glasgow Co .rant of 1745 relating to Prince Charles, which will be exceedingly curious, as that gentleman's copy is the only one known to be extant. We perceive that he has the name printed " Stewart," in which he is perfectly correct in reference to its origin. The Italians, with whom Prince Charles spent his youths c ould not otherwise spell this word, and the Highlanders having also no w in their alphabet, were compelled to use the same orthography. It is, therefore, affec tation to retain a mode of ipeUiog which nations were forced to adopt from the defect of their alphabet. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GRAND JUNCTION. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—The Proprietors in this Com pany held a special general meeting to-day, for the purpose of determining as to raising, and the mode of raising, the further capital authorised to be raised by the Act for the construction of the Trent Valley Railway, to make orders and directions in relation to the new shares to be created in pursuance of the powers of the Amalgamation Act, and also to consolidate the paid-up shares of the Company into capital stock, and on other special affairs. The meeting was most numerously attended. Mr. Charles Laurence presided, The following report Was read by Mr. BOOTH :-- " The Directors are happy to announce to the Proprietors the successful issue of their application to Parliament for an Act to consolidate the Bolton and Leigh, Liverpool and Manchester, and Grand Junction Railways. In the pro gress of the Bill through Parliament, the Directors had to contend against the opposition of sundry railway companies and commercial bodies ; the alleged ground of objection being, that the amalgamated companies would become so powerful in their combined arrangements, that it would be difficult for minor interests to contend against them. Par- Lament, however, having sanctioned your application, it remains for the amalgamated company to prove to their former opponents that any increased efficiency or influence which they may possess will be used, not alone in the furtherance of their immediate interests, but in the promo tion of the public accommodation. The Directors are happy on the present occasion to refer to their published advertise ments, announcing a reduction of fares, with improved arrangements, both on the Birmingham, and on the Liver pool and Manchester lines. And they refer to these in- I creased facilities of transit as an earnest of their desire to ' combine, with a due attention to the interests of the Pro prietors, a corresponding regard to the convenience and satisfaction of the public. ith respect to the traffic of the present half-year, the Directors are glad to report a considerable increase upon that of 1844, and the experience of each month establishes the desirableness of that ex tended accommodation in stations and approaches at this end of the line, for which the authority of Par liament has now been obtained, and which the Directors are preparing to carry immediately into effect. In the Amal gamation Act power has been obtained to convert the whole of the paid- up shares into capital stock. The facility which such a measure will give to the purchase of railway stock, without reference to the machinery of shares or half shares, is so obvious an advantage, that the Directors rely on the sanction of the Proprietors to the resolution which they will propose for carrying this provision of the Act into immediate operation. They intend still further to recommend Grand Junction stock to the favour of the public, by abolishing all charges on the registering of transfers, or on the issue or en dorsement of certificates. After the 30th instant, this busi ness will be transacted at the secretary's office, without cost to purchasers, though certainly involving some additional expense to the Company. The Directors have further to an nounce, that, with permission of the Proprietors, they propose for the future to discontinue the payment of intermediate quarterly dividends. This operation has entailed consider able pecuniary loss on the Company, while the preparations requisite for the issue quarterly of so many dividend war rants, and the unavoidable closing of the transfer-office, during the operation in the middle of each half-year, has proved a serious interruption to business. The Directors do not regret having given to the measure a fair trial, but they have come to the conclusion that the general objections which they have briefly stated, are not compensated for by any adequate advantage to individual Proprietors. The Shareholders in the late Grand Junction Company ate aware of the intention of the Directors (as announced in their report of the Ist of August) to obtain authority in the Amalgamation Act for the issue of' new quarter shares, to be allotted in the proportion of one new quarter to the holder of each 100/. Grand Junction share, or of shares amounting in the aggregate to 100/. This provision of the Act the Directors propose to carry into effect by the immediate issue of 251. shares, upon which dividends will be payable in the same ratio as on original shares, less five per cent. interest on the amount not paid up. The calls on these shares will be made by such instalments, and at such periods, as the Directors may judge expedient. In the published report for the half year ending 30th of June last, it appeared that there was a surplus balance, or reserved fund, belong ing to the Grand Junction, proper, of 64,006/. Bs. 10d. ; and the Liverpool and Manchester Proprietors will recollect that there was a surplus in that concern, over and above paying the half-year's dividend, of 10,468/. This latter sum it is proposed to carry to the surplus fund of the Amal gamated Company, and in addition to it, the sum of 19,147/. from the surplus balance of the Grand Junction, proper, as above stated ; these sums being proportionate to the respective capitals of the two concerns, and con stituting a surplus balance of 29,615/. to the credit of the Amalgamated Company. By this arrangement, the sum of 19,147/. must be deducted from the Grand Junction surplus balance, as stated above, 64,008/, deduct 19,147/., leav ing 44,8611. applicable as a bonus to the Shareholders of the Grand Junction, proper. The Directors propose to the holders of the 22,033 Grand Junction shares a bonus of 21. per share, equalling 44,0664 and to the holders of the 22,033 eighth shares, which must be considered at present as five per cent. stock, compared with the re mainder at ten per cent., they propose to allow a bonus of W. per cent. on the 5/. paid up, or Is. for each one-eighth share, or 1,101/. 135.. making together 45,167/. 135., leaving the small balance of 306/. 13s. to the debit of profit and loss account. It is proper also to mention that the contingent claim to a residue of back interest on the Liverpool and Man chester old shares must be considered now to cease and de termine ; as, from this time forward, there will be but one common fund applicable to the purposes and fur the knefit of the Proprietors indiscriminately of the Amalgamated Griod Junction Company." A series of resolutions, founded upon the recommendations in the report were moved seriatim by the Chairman, and car ried unanimously. Ou the motion of the Chairman it was also resolved that in future the dividends be paid half-yearly. The CHAIRMAN announced that the new church at Crewe was ready for presentation, and it has necessarily to provide for the maintenance of the minister. On the motion of Mr. Casson, the Directors were empowered to endow the church with a sum sufficient to secure the consecration, and to pay a further sum annually to the minister, so that his income be not less than 2001. per annum. A committee was appointed to obtain a portrait of Mr. John Moss, the late chairman, as a mark of the Proprietors' sense of his services. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. On Tuesday a meeting of the inhabitants was held at Ilalesowen, in Worcestershire, in favour of this line, Mr. John Meredith in the chair. The meeting was influentially attended. Mr. SCOTT, M.P., one of the deputation, stated that the line was brought forward purely for local purposes, and in order that the line might pass through those districts where the inhabitants stood most in need of railway accommoda tion. The great object they had in view of coming to that district was to enable them to open a new mining district of . immense resources. It was intended to unite the line with the Oxford, Worcester, end Wolverhampton, and Grand Junction lines, but without detracting, unfairly, from the traffic of either. It was intended to start the line from Birmingham to Smethwick, from thence to Oldbury, and to Wolverhampton, and a branch would start and pass through the hill above the valley in which they were then assembled. It was intended to bring the line as near that ancient town as the ground would permit, and to pass through the vale of Stour on to Stouiport. In Halesowen there was a largo mineral district unwrought and inclosed within the surrounding hills, over which it W O3 i mposs ib le to cut a canal. They were also aware of the peculiar charac ter of the river Stour , and that there were more joining it than any other river in the kingdom. workslhe line would pass at or as near Halesowen as was praticable, and the engineering difficulties, if any existed, might be overcome by atmospheric agency. Three-fourths of Halesowen goods went to Birmingham, and an immn proportion of their pas sengers also went to th e same e tow s - e n ; very few, indeed, went to Worcester : therefore they would have a decided advan tage by having suc h an immediate communication with Bir mingham. Th ey would also be enabled to get directly into the north by means of various branches, and thereby forward their goods to many parts of the kingdom to which at present they had not access. At Kidderminster they would join the Welsh Midl an d li nes. Th e S out h Wales. country was very 1 itt le known at present, very few persons were aware of its great im portance, or the benefits to be derived from a communication with the Welsh valeS. It would be ofvastimportauce to the iron masters in the district of Halesowen if they could get their mixtures from Wales. Indeed, they could not conceive the great advantages that would arise to .tbem from the pro posed railway. It would bring them into the great railway system, the full advantage of which it was intended they ehOn.lci cleriye from the company with whom the present scheme originated. In order the more effectually to carry out the objects which they had in view, it was intended that the London and Birmingham Company should work this line, and the public would see by the rates of charge upon the present line somethine, like the reduction which they might in future expect. The people of Halesowea would have the advantage of an admirable station in the centre of Birmingham. Resolutions, proposed and supported by Messrs. Hodgetts, Haines, Humphray, Wood, Bloxham, Darby, Best, and others, were passed unanimously in favour of the undertaking. Our announcement last week that the operations upon this line had commenced upon the Bury side induced several hundreds of people to visit the neighbourhood of the mer maid-pits on Sunday last. The scene, we understand, pre sented the appearance of a fair, save that nothing could be more orderly and decorous than the conduct of the people. The works are proceeding rapidly, and it is expected that by next week considerable progress will be apparent.—Bury Herald. IPSWICH AND YAamouTH COAST LINE.---A treaty has just been concluded with this and the Norfolk Company, for an extension of the former line to Norwich, with branches to Beccles and Bungay. The capital will be increased, and the Norfolk Company will take shares in the Ipswich and Yarmouth. _ _ BIRMINGHAM CENTRAL STATION.-At a meeting of the Birmingham town commissioners, on Tuesday, resolutions were passed in support of the proposition of the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Company to establish a grand central terminus in Birmingham for the lines radiating north and south. CALEDONII.N. —Last week there was a public demonstra tion at Carstairs, to celebrate the commencement of the works on this line. where were present the magistrates of the county and burgh, the trades of Lanark, masonic lodges from Carnwash, and the following gentry of the district : Lady Belhaven, Lady Charlotte Denison, Lady Macdonald Lockhart, Lady Honeyman, Mrs. Cochran Baillie, Mrs. Mon teith, Mrs. Carmichael, and Miss Lockhart. Among the gen tlemen present were Sir N. Macdonald Lockhart, J. J. H. Johnstone, M.P., Mr. Lockhart, M.P., and the other Direc tors of the Caledonian Railway, Mr. Cochran Baillie, M.P., Richard M'Kenzie, W.S., the Lord Provost and Baillie An derson, of Glasgow, and the Provost and magistrates of La nark. Bumpers were filled to the success of the line. IRISH LINES. RAJ ENSION RAILWAY FROM TEMPLEMORE TO NENAGIT AND THE SHANNON.—The Directors of this Company have determined upon an amalgamation of the two lines, namely, that from Templemore to Nenagh, with the original line from Nenagh to the Shannon. The applications for shares in the entire line from Templemore to Nenagh andthe Shannon, are treble the amount that are for disposal. The allotments will take place in a very few days, and every necessary form will be gone through in due time to secure the Bill for the Com pany early in the next session of Parliament.--Nenagh Guardian. INTENDED RAILWAY FROM ENNISKILLEN, THROUGH DUNGANNON TO PORTADOWN.—An influential meeting of the inhabitants of Dungannon, and of the leading landed interests in the neighbourhood, took place on Wednesday last, in the Court-house there, at which Lord Northland presided, when a series of resolutions were unanimously adopted in favour of this undertaking, and a sub-committee appointed to prepare the necessary prospectus. Mr. Lanyon, our county surveyor, and ➢lr. Davison, from Belfast, at tended, at the request of the deputation. Both gentlemen stated that they would have pleasure in undertaking, in con junction with Mr. Rowan, the county surveyor of Tyrone, the conduct of the line, provided it was supported by the. leading gentry of the county, and the inhabitants of the towns interested in the project ; but that, without such co operation, they should not interfere. The proposed line will jein the Newry and Enniskillen Railway, within a few miles of the latter town, and pass through the towns of Lissmelan, Fivemiletown, Augher, Clogher, Dungannon, and Verners bridge, and join the Ulster Railway, at Portadown. The entire country is rich and populous; and the feeling evinced by this meeting was unanimous in favour of the undertaking. —Northern Whig. NEW METROPOLITAN ASYLUMS. ST. LUKE, CHELSEA. The Board of Guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea held their usual weekly meeting oaffednesday, in the board-room at the workhouse, Arthur-street, Mr. J. B. Ryder, chairman of the board, in the chair. After confirming the minutes of the last two meetings, and the transaction of some ordinary business, Mr. Loveland, the clerk, read, amongst other communications to the board, the subjoined letter from the poor-law gentlemen of Somerset house, in answer to the following memorial : " TO THE TOOK-LAW COMMISSIONERS FOR ENGLAND ♦ND WALES. " The Memorial of the Board of Guardians of the Parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, in the county of Middlesex, " Showeth—That your:memorialist' have received with con siderable surprise and concern, an order from the Poor-law Commissioners, directing the uniting of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, with the parishes of St. Martin's-in-the-Field', Ken sington, Paddington, St. Marylebone, St. George's, Hanover square, St. James, Westminster, and St. Margaret and St. John the Evangelist, Westminster, into a district, to be termed The North-western Metropolitan Asylum Districts, for the purpose of providing and managing one or more asylum •r asylums for the temporary relief, and setting to work therein, of destitute houseless poor persons, who are not charged with any offenee, and who may apply for relief, or become charge able to the poor-rates within any of the parishes above named.' " That in the year 1841, after obtaining, at great trouble and expense, a new Act of Parliament for the government of all matters relating to the management of the poor of Chelsea, this parish was separated from Kensington Union, in which, for four years, it had been incorporated. " That the separation gave, and continues to give, the highest satisfaction to the ratepayers, as well as to the poor, whose in. terests and welfare were sacrificed by the prejudicial working and unwieldy extent of that union, which comprised Chelsea and four other large parishes. " That since the separation, a very considerable outlay, amounting to upwards of 4,0;01., has been incurred by this board in adding extensive new buildings to the workhouse, which will accommodate a third more inmates than there has yet been occasion for. " That the poor-rates of this parish have beep augmented by having to pay the interest, &c., of the moneys borrowed to erect these new buildings; and that the said rates wii be still further unnecessarily increased by having to contribute to the building and maintaining of these contemplated asylums. " That the workhouse of this parish now possesses every means for lodging a much greater number of destitute house less poor than have hitherto applied for relief; and of setting them to work in as efficient a manner as can be done in any asylum to be provided under the late Act of Parliament. " That your memorialists are quite sure that, had there existed the slightest reason for supposing that Chelsea would be united as now directed—a great portion of the present work house accommodation would not have been provided, thus ob viating an expenditure which, should the intended combina tion of parishes take place, will become perfectly useless and unnecessary. " That under these circumstances, your memorialists beg leave to represent to your Honourable Board, that they enter tain the most decided objeotioni to the connexion of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, with the proposed district asylum ; and to hope that you will take these premises into your considera tion, and rescind the said order. " And your memorialists, &c. (Signed) " JOHN B. RYDER, Chairman. " Caleb Collier, D. North, IL S. Cooper, J. Maynard, George Todd, Thomas Symons, John Butt, T. B. Green way, Charles Bateman, J. Evans, W. Edwell, F. Gas kell." "Poor-law Commission-office, Somerset House, September 9, 1845. " Sir,—l am desired by the Poor-law Commissioners to acknowledge the receipt of the memorial of the Board of Guardians of the parish of St. Luke, Chelsea, on the subject of the order recently issued by the Commissioners for the for mation of the North Western Metropolitan Asylum Dis trict,' and am to state that the memorial will receive the consi deration of the Commissioners.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " GEORGE COODE, Assistant Secretary. " To J. B. Ryder, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Guardians of St. Luke, Chelsea." Mr. F. GASKELL—WeII, they (the Commissioners) were civil for once.—( Hear.) Mr. EDWELL said their Chairman had been treated most courteously by these gentlemen, addressing him as they had done. He had no doubt they meant well.—( A Voice—" We hope so.") The CHAIRMAN said he could not help auguring well from the letter just read of the success of their case. —( Hear, hear.) It would, indeed, be most unreasonable and unjust for the Poor-law Commissioners to object to their (the Guardians') demand. No memorial ever presented a fairer case, He (the Chairman) perceived that the parish of Marylebone wes up and stirring, and he did hope that the other parishes, interested in the opposition to this intended union, would also be up and oppose the intentions of the Commissioners.—( Hear.) The parish of Chelsea is to send two members to the district board. As the election is ordered to take place on the Srst board day after the 12th inst., the Chelsea guardians cannot be in a position to proceed to an election at their next meeting, which will he the 1 ith, consequently a new order, if the parish is to be united to the other eight parishes, must be issued. Several of the Chelsea guardians appear to entertain the be lief, f rt ;n the letter read yesterday from the Commissioners, that that pay:,4ll will be exempted from the order of the Corn. missionerg. FALKIRK SECOND TRYST. This great market commenced on the usal ground at Sten housentoor yesterday.
