The CHAIRMAN next read a letter from th e Venerable Archdeacon Hodson, applying for a money grant in aid of the moral and religious instruction of the workpeople employed on the line. He laid it before the meeting without expressing any further opinion than that, unless it was the unanimous wish of the proprietors, he should not press the question. The Chairman also read a letter from an anonymous correspondent, signed " A Shareholder," in which the writer expressed a hope, seeing that the shares of the company were at a discount, that they would be just to themselves before they were unnecessarily gene rous to the public. The Hon. Mr. LITTLETON, after some discussion had taken place upon the subject, proposed a grant out of the funds of the company to the amount of 2001. for the moral and religious instruction of the people employed on the line. Mr. Sowseur seconded the motion. A resolution was also proposed and seconded, to the effect that no such amount should be granted ; and, after some further discussion, Mr. Littleton's resolu tion was withdrawn. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and direc tors, and the meeting broke up. IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION OF THE GRAND DUKE OF TUSCANY. A flying sheet of the Corriere Livornese of the 4th inst., received yesterday, contains the following im portant "Motu-proprio under the s i gn manual of the - Grand Duke Leopold 11. of Tuscany Man:- PROMO. "We, Leopold 11., D.G. Imperial Prince of Austria, Crown Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, Grand Duke of Tuscany, ekc. "Always animated by the most constant attach. mint to the general welfare of Tuscany, and per suaded of the utility and convenience of creating a civic (or national) guard, which may concur in the maintenance of the public tranquillity and security, " On the unanimous advice of the constituent mem bers of the Royal Council of State, on our own mature deliberation. "We ordain as follows : "Art. 1. The Civic Guard is established in the Grand Duchy (of Tuscany), and we hereby - decl are that it is to be regarded as an institution of the state. "Art. 2. We reserve to ourselves the approval of the fundamental regulations of the said institution, consequent on the advice of the Royal Council of State, which is already called upon to take the matter into consideration, in conformity with the law. " Tuscans ! the Civic Guard is a Conservative in stitution—an institution for the guarantee of social order, and of public and private security. "Receive its establishment as a new pledge of the unlimited confidence reposed in you by your father and your Prince. " Let your anxiety be calmed in expectation of the necessary development of the institution already ap proved. - "B e still, as y ou h ave ever b een, faithful to the So vereign and obedient to the laws, and the magistrates I Do not lose sight of the fact that all your interests are staked on the maintenance of order and the observance of the laws,—that popular agitations, instead of promoting civil progress, are invariably the causes of disorder, and may occasion a stagnation of trade and commerce, the disturbance of private and general interests, and the loss of all, by inducing dia -1 trust and fear in all classes of society. " Given this 4th day of September, A.D. 1847. " LEOPOLD. " V. F. CEMPINI. " L. ALBIANI." SHIPWRECK AND LOSS OF LIFE. Another of those awful calamities which have been so prevalent during the late storms occurred on the evening of Saturday last, the 11th instant, during a heavy gale from the W.S.W., in Carnarvon Bay, by which no fewer than five persons have met with a premature death. It appears that on the afternoon of Saturday two vessels, one a yacht, the other a schooner, were seen out in the bay, the former of which signalled for a pilot to cross the bar. The yacht proved to be the Gem, the property of J. Fleming, Esq., member of the Royal Yacht Squadron ; but in consequence of the distance from the station, she did not wait for the pilot's arrival, but exchanged one of her own hands for tbe mate of the other vessel,who was to act as her pilot. The schooner proved to be the Vine, of Pwllheli, bound with a cargo of coal from Llanelly in South Wales to Bangor. From some cause or other, perhaps the darkness of the evening, she, in attempting to pass the bar into the Menai Straits, struck on the north hank, must have im mediately capsized, filled, and sunk with all on board. The pilots belonging to the station at Llanddwyn went out in the life-boat to their rescue, but owing to the extreme darkness, and the schooner showing no light, they were unable to find out her position until daybreak on Sunday morning, when they boarded her. She was on her beam ends, with her masts itnbedded in the sand. In the cabin, the dead body of a woman passenger was found; and on the bank, the body of a man was recovere d, an d both wereimmediately tak en t o C arnarvon, there being signs of life in the man ; but four other men, the re mainder of the crew, perished. CERIOrS SWINDLING CASE.—At the head police office, Dublin, a person named William J. Reddy was on Friday charged with swindling. Mr. W. D. La touche, of the bank in Castle-street,' stated that the pri soner had called at the bank and said that he had been supercargo of the American ship Victor, which arrived in Dublin in last May, with a cargo of Indian corn and meal for the relief of the poor; that he had been robbed of a portmanteau, containing 1801. and all his clothes, and was now in a state of great distress, and had not eaten aaything for two days. Mr. Latouche gave him five shillings to help him out of immediate want, and ordered inquiries to be made respecting his story, in order that if tree he might have a passage to America provided for him. On inquiry it was found, however, that his story was utterly devoid of truth; that he had been exposed at the time the Victor was at Dublin, for his attempt to pass himself off as her supercargo. The prisoner was remanded for further examination. SUPPOSED MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM.—MONDAT EVENING.—J. B. Davies, Esq.. borough coroner, is now engaged investigating the cause of the death of an agri cultural labourer, named William Brown, who is said to have been murdered near the Crescent-bridge, in this town, on Saturday morning last. There are three per sona in custody, and an active pursuit is being made by the police after a man named Badger, who is supposed to have been the principal offender in the case. Th i a first witness is yet (seven o'clock) under examination at the Crescent tavern, and from what he has stated, it is impossible to form an opinion of the precise nature of She case. THE HIGRLANDS..—A HURRICANE.—The sharp squalls of Tuesday and Wednesday last week irereased by daybreak on Thursday to a perfect hurricane. equalled only for virulence here, for years, by that of the 4th of March, 1546, but much more disastrous in its generali3 consequences. The loss sustained in the coahrebe f progress, which appears to have been across t t . shoul ders of Sehallion, diverging thence south f ti.Y. radalbane, Appin ,is and south west by the gorge leading into B d e to ;to vim. , incalculable.

Tux CROLERA.—According to a letter from Odessa, of the 22d ult., the cholera appears to have almost entirely subsided at Tillie, and to have it mush diminished at Tag a nr o k ; but, on the other h an d,towns t has invaded Rostof, M ar ianopolis, and tf several a other ofof Southern Russia. At Rostof, o 2,000 were population carried 8,000, in three weeks not less t han that ail th e off. The terror of the dis ease was so great, ad from Rostof to Odessa wen t p os t -houses along the road abandoned. The Bishop of Rochester has refused to license to a curac y in his diocese the Be'. Mr. J a y, w h o has preached a sermon calling into question the doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration. The Bishop of Rochester some time since refused to grant a license to a clergyman on the same grounds. The Rectory of All Soul's Church, Langham-plice, in the parish of Marylebone, is about to become vacant by the resignation of the very Rev. George Chandler, D.C.L., Dean of Chiehester, who has held the benefice ever since the extensive parish of Marylebone was di vided into the four districts of which it is now Composed. The bitiefice is of the annual value of 1,0001., and is in the gift of the Queen. The Nation has the following parody relative to Conciliation Hall repealers : " The fool that is truly gull'd never can doubt. But as truly is gull'd to the close . .

The object of this Association is totally to aboliela the us• of climbing boys, who, notvrithstonding the penalties to which those employing them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85, are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im possibility In innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective Rainoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists (1 four brushes forming a square head, which by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with, universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angle and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route moat perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used In the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors. Detsiled prospectuses may be obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the offices of the solicitor, F, Dolman, Esq., 39, Jermyn-street, St. James's ; at Messrs.

(From the Court Circular.) ARDVERIKIE, SEPT. 10.—This afternoon her Ma jesty and the Prince drove out in a pony carriage, attended by Major-General 'SVemyss, the equerry in waiting. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal walked out, accompanied by Miss Hillyard. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, who remain on a visit to her Majesty, are the only addi tion to the royal party. Her Majesty will leave Ardverikie on Friday next, to join the royal yacht on her progress to the south. (From the North British Mail.) Locu LAGGAN, THURSDAY.—The object of Prince Albert's visit to Glen Spean yesterday was not to shoot grouse, but to see the celebrated parallel roads of Glen Roy. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Sir James Clark. The morning was misty ; but as the day advanced, the cloudy vapour crept up the sides of the hills, and allowed the valleys to be filled with sunlight. The mouth of Glen Roy is distant about eighteen miles from Loch Laggan. The Prince and Sir James set out at an early hour without any attendants, and after proceeding as far up the glen as enabled them to obtain a good view of the "paral lels," as they ate briefly termed by the natives, they returned to the lodge in time to join the royal party at luncheon. Glen Roy, or the Red Glen, is a lateral branch of Glen Spean. It is a long, narrow, winding, and steep ravine, whose bare sides are scantily covered with a reddish mixture of earth, grass, and heather. A rapid stream, bearing the same name as the glen, dashes down thel bottom of the valley, and, with its wooded banks, assists in giving an air of life and beauty to what would otherwise be a dreary and monotonous chasm. The natural curiosities, with which the n am e of Glen Roy is more particularly associated, become visible immediately after entering the mouth of the glen. As you stretch your eye up the ravine, your attention is attracted by a line like a belt of rope running horizontally along the sides of the hills. Lifting your eye a little higher, you trace another line of the same kind; and higher still another. Curiosity is excited by finding that the same de scription of lines are marked on both sides of the glen, and that not only do the lines on the same side run parallel to each other, but that the lines on both sides occupy the same horizontal levels. As you proceed into the glen the lines become more marked ; and, upon ascending to them, the traveller finds that they are ample terraces or roads projecting from the sloping side of the mountain, and composed of a mixture of clay and gravel. These terraces are of tarrying bre e P a arts t th w Por°ieecrtsisngelli only a few f ee t f rom theng out i n t o magni fi p a s ; hil ec nda e m ht e en ortwenty yards wid e . Wh ere e a sidet n th a ot hf ts e a— the surface of the hill is composed of bare sharp rock, the roads are entirely destroy effacedthe unbroken co n ti nu i ty o f the ; but these g a p s are too in significant lines when viewed along two or three miles of the valley. The first or lowest terrace is 972 feet above the level of the sea, the second is 1,184 feet, and the third or highest is 1,266 feet. One or two detached rocks tower up out of the centre of the valley, and on these, as well as on the lateral mountains, a line cor responding with the lowest terrace is covered. The origin of these wonderful appearances has long been the subject of curious and earnest discussion. Five different theories have been advanced in expla nation of their construction. In the first place, of course, they have been traced back to the flood—that unfailing resource by which the popular mind resolves every difficulty presented in the physical construction oftheglobe in accumulating.lnthe secopr oofs second place, some people who take delig h t of the antiquity and greatness of the Celts, have contended, with more zeal than wisdom, that the parallel roads were formed by the persevering labour of the Fingalians, and were intended to expedite the movements of the huntsmen, as they scoured the forests after the deer. These vene rable notions received their first blow from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Dr. Maculloch, who broached quite a different view of the matter. According to the , latter writer, " the parallel roads are the shores of ancient lakes, or of one lake, occupying successively different levels; for, in an existing lake among hills, it is easy to see the very traces in question pro duCed by the wash of the waves against the alluvial matter of the hills. Ancient Glen Roy was, therefore, a lake, which, subsiding first by a vertical depth of 82 feet, lett its shore to form the upermost line, which, by a second subsidence of 212 feet, produced the second, and which, on its final drainage, left the third and lowest, and the present valley, such as we now see it." The Learned Doctor consoles the proud Fingalians for the loss of their darling fiction nv by assuring them that his theory invests their country with " one of the must striking and magnificent phe nomenagular, unexampled, and n philosophy than it is splendid in its effects and captivating by its grandeur and beauty." But it was not long b e f o re the correctness of the Doctor's own interp re t at i on was ca ll e d i n ques o less ofinteresting the u to e—niers ques tion. Mr. Darwin maintained at a later period that the terraces are sea beaches, formed at a period when the now elevated land constituted a level hay of the ocean, and that the successive volcanic forces by which this land was ultimately raised to its present height gave time for the formation of a lower and lower beach. A more recent theory than either of these has emanated from the celebrated French philosopher Agassiz, who, in a letter to Professor Jameson, dated Fort Augustus, October 3, 1840, writes as follows :—" After having obtained in Switzer land the most conclusive proofs that at a former period the glaciers were of much greater extent than at pre sent, nay, that they had covered the whole country, and had transported the erratic blocks to the places where these are now found, it was my wish to exa mine a country where glaciers are no longer met with, but in which they might formerly have existed. I therefore directed my attention to Scotland, and had scarcely arrived in Glasgow, when I found remote traces of the action of glaciers, and the nearer I ap proached the high mountain chains, these became more distinct, until, at the foot of Ben Nevis, and in the principal valleys, I discovered the most distinct morains and polished rocky surfaces, just as in the valleys of the Swiss Alps, in the region of existing glaciers, so that the existence of glaciers in Scotland at early periods can no longer be doubted. The parallel roads of Glen Roy are intimately connected with this former occurrence of glaciers, and have been caused by a glacier from Ben Nevis. The pheno menon must have been precisely analagous to the glacier lakes of the Tyrol, and to the event that took place in the valley of Bagne." The view taken by Agassiz is participated in by Professors Buckland and Forbes, and, in short, is now the com monly received doctrine of the learned. Glen Roy, therefore, has in all probability been the scene of a clearance more awful and destructive than any yet effected by the lairds. The solemn and majestic march of a sea of ice from Ben Nevis, down through every over-populated valley, would form a very potent agent in working out the new social economy of the Highlands. The parallel roads are not confined to Glen Roy. Similar appearances occur in Glen Spean, Glen Gloy, and the adjoining valleys, as well as in the neighbourhood of Loch Laggan, Fort-William, and other parts of the Highlands; while in Switzerland, and in the mountainous parts of the continent and America, they are seen on a much grander scale than in this country. In the afternoon her Majesty and her Royal Con sort drove out to the falls of the Paatock, accompanied by the Duke of Norfolk and General Wemyss. The weather to-day is boisterous, but there is no much rain. FORT WILLIAM, SEPT. 9. A few days since we stated that the royal yacht steam-tender Fairy and the Garland, steam-vessel, Master Commander Smithett, had proceeded through the Caledonian Canal to Inverness, to be in attendance on the Queen, on her Majesty's projected visit to that place. This morning, however, the Fairy and Garland returned to Fort William. They only pro ceeded for about two miles up the canal when they were stopped, and owing to the unsettled state of the weather their previous orders were countermanded, and they were desired to return to Fort 'William. The 14th instant is the time fixed for her Majesty's departure from Fort William, and the royal squadron will be in readiness by that time, and it is expected that her Majesty will arrive at Osborne by the 20th instant. A royal visit to Fle etwood, it is sa id , is projected, an I Captain H. M. Den ham, who ma y be said to have made that port, is spoken of as the officer appointed to pilot the royal squadron thither. ---,----....

HER MAJESTY'S RETURN FROM [PRICE SD. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAIL WAY COMPANY. (PROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The half-yearly general meeting of the share holders of this Company took place yesterday, at the George Hotel, Walsall ; and, although the meeting was not numerously attended, th e r e were many of the most influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood present. Among them we noticed Charles Smith Forster, Esq., the banker of Walsall, Chairman ; the Hon. Mr. Littleton; Mr. Edward Buller, the late M.P. for Staffordshire; Mr. Johnson ; Edward Elwell, jun., Esq., of the Forge, Wednesbury ; Mr. Sowerby, &c., &c. CHARLES hiITH FORSTER, Esq., took the chair at half past one o'clock • and, the advertiseme n t ca lli ng the meeting having iaeen read, he proceeded to con gratulate the shareholders on the undoubted success of their undertaking. He regretted that there was not a larger attendance; but it showed the pro ceedings and prospects of the company did not create any great amount of dissatisfaction among the share holders. The report which would be read represented the satisfactory state in which the affairs of the com pany then were. The contracts had been let to re spectable men, and they had every reason to believe that they would be speedily completed. They had entertained hopes that the branch line to Birmingham would hare been opened that day, but they had been compelled to postpone that event for another fortnight. The delay was not their fault, but rested with the engineer of the North-Western Company, whose duty it was to form the junction of the two lines. When they last met they had a prospect of litigation with the North-Western Company; but that point, which was with respect to the Lichfield line, had been ar ranged by himself and Mr. Chawner on behalf of the South Staffordshire, and Mr. Hornby and Mr. Booth on the part of the London and North-Western Com pany, at a meeting whi c h th e y h a d h a d i n L on d on . xpensive proceedings had thus, in this instance, been avoided. They had also had litigation with the North Staffordshire Company, but the clauses introduced into the Bill brought into Parliament by the latter company having been defeated, there was an end to that dispute. With respect to the Bir mingham Canal Company he was happy to say, that I although they (the South Staffordshire) had had to pay a considerable sum of money, the Canal Com pany had made liberal and most satisfactory conces sions. Before concluding, he might be allowed to congratulate them upon the pecuniary affairs of the company. They had an amplitude of capital, and in this respect stood in a much higher position than many other companies. He might also state that the depressed state of the money market might in some degree account for the depression in the price of their shares, as wall as the shares of other established and paying lines of railway. The Legislature, during the last session, in his (the Chairman's) opinion, had been too liberal in granting railway Acts of Parliament, and he hoped that many of those companies who had obtained Acts would not proceed to act upon them. The Chairman concluded by moving that the seal of the company be affixed to the register of share holders. Mr. EDWARD &Liza seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. The CHAIRMAN, at the suggestion of Mr. Chawner, explained that no blame was attributable to Mr. Norris, the engineer of the London and North- Western Company, for the delay in not placing the points and completing the junction at Bescott. Cir cumstances had occurred which prevented him doing so. Mr. .11ostaTro BARNETT, of Bescott-hall, the se cretary to the company, then read the following report : "Since the last half-yearly meeting of the com pany, the second and third contracts have been let on very satisfactory terms, the former to Messrs. Hoof and Hill, and the latter to Mr. Earle. These, to gether with the first contract (previously let) include the whole of the lines of railway authorised by the Acts of incorporation, except the Darlaston and Daw End branches. " The proprietors will learn from the subjoined re port of the company's engineer the progress of the works comprised in the several contracts ; and the directors congratulate the shareholders at the pros pect thus afforded of an early completion of the original undertaking. The portion of the line com prised in the Birmingham branch, and such part of ' the main line as is requisite to open a direct commu nication between Walsall and Birmingham, will be completed and ready to open in the course of the present month ; and an arrangement has been con cluded with the London and North-Western Railway Company for the working of this portion of the line on advantageous terms. " The directors confidently expect that another portion of the line, viz., from the Trent Valley Rail way to the Midland Railway will be completed and opened in the spring of the ensuing year. " The Bill alluded to in the last report of the directors, and which was then in progress through Parliament, has now received the sanction of the Legislature. By this Act the company are autho rised to construct branches to Cannock, Norton, and Wyrley. " The original capital of the company is amply suf ficient to meet the additional expenditure occasioned by construction of the new branches, consequently it has not been found necessary to take powers for raising further capital. " The accompanying balance-sheet will show that a considerable sum remained unexpended at the close of the half-yearly account on the 31st of July; but the directors have, notwithstanding, found it neces sary to decide on a further call of 11. Bs. per share, in order to meet the disbursements which the simulta neous prosecution of the works throughout the whole length of the main line will necessarily involve. And the directors avail themselves of this opportunity of congratulating the company on the promptitude with which their first call was paid up. " The directors recommend that a sum of 101. 10s. shall be subscribed out of the funds of the company to the General Hospital at Birmingham, and the Stafford Infirmary, in equal moieties, in order to obtain relief for the workmen on the line in cases of accident. " In conclusion, the directors venture to express a hope, that up to the present time they will be found to have redeemed the pledge they gave at the last ge neral meeting of the company, to press forward to an early completion of the undertaking." The Secretary also read the following report of Mr. M'Clean, the engineer of the company : " Contract, No. 1. " The portion of the railway included in this con tract, with the exception of the works at the junction with the London and North-Western Railway, is ready for the inspection of the proper officer of the Railway Commissioners, and the necessary notice previous to the openibg of the line, has been given to that board. 7/EIDT MADE.

AIANCIIESTER, SEPT. 13.—For several days past very considerable interest has been created in this town, in consequence of a report being extensively circulated that the Queen and her Royal Consort will return via Fleetwood, and probably through Man chester. Up to this hour, however (Monday, four o'clock), nothing positive is known ; but the indefati gable chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, accompanied by Mr. llawkshaw, the engineer, are in communication with her Ma jesty's functionaries, and positive information is ex pected this evening. Mr. Houldsworth is at Fleet wood, ready to obey the royal commands, and is quite prepared to make the necessary arrangements for the Queen and her suite, should the route via Fleetwood be determined upon. COURT CIRCULAR. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge re turned to town yesterday from the Continent. His Royal Highness, attended by Baron Knesebeck, arrived yesterday morning at the liricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern Railway Company, from Dover, and immediately proceeded to his residence, Cambridge House, where he arrived at eleven o'clock. In the afternoon the Royal Duke left town for Rich mond, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester. • Major-General Sir Harry Smith, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, called yesterday morning at Cambridge House to pay his respects to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. During the fore noon Sir Harry paid visits to take leave of the Ca binet Ministers in town, and in the afternoon took his departure fer Portsmouth, to embark on board the Vernon, for the Cape of Good Hope. DESECRATION OF THE DEAD. OFFICIAL INQUIRY. _ _ . _ In consequence of the reports recently circulated concerning the alleged desecration of the dead, in the vaults of Elim Chapel, Fetter-lane, by the removal of the bodies in carts, 'and the coffins being distributed for fire-wood, Alderman Sir James Duke, accom panied by Charles Pearson, Esq., M.P., City Soli citor, the parish authorities, with Mr. Comfort, the foreman, and other members of the inquest, attended yesterday to inspect those vaults, with the view of ulterior proceedings. Long before the hour of in quiry Fetter-lane and the passages leading to Elim Chapel were crowded with the friends and. relatives of the deceased buried in the vaults. Upon entering the chapel Sir James Duke said, that as alderman of the ward he attended with the inquest jury to in quire into desecrations alleged to have been and to be perpetrated upon the dead buried under the chapel. Mr. FRISLEN admitted that before the Wesleyans got possession of the chapel the most dreadful atro cities had been committed in the vault, but since they held the chapel no burials had taken place. The removals of human remains that had subsequently taken place were made through motives of decency, and from respect of the dead whose scattered and exposed bones were covered with earth. Mr. COMPORT, who said that he had witnessed at least 300 burials in the vaults, asked whether it was true that the coffins had been distributed amongst the neighbours for fire-wood ? Mr. FRISIEN said that the trustees did no such thing. Mr. FOWLER—But are not the trustees aware that the grave-digger chopped up the coffins in the open passage and gave the people the wood to burn it ? Mr. PRIMES—WeII, I believe that the old man gave away coffins; but he did so without the con sent of the trustees. Mr. FowLaa—When we find that coffins have been so cut up and disposed of in the public day, what guarantee have we that the bodies which inha bited those coffins have been treated with more re spect, or that they have not been also cut up and carted away ? The Rev. Mr. Cowart complained that an attempt had been made by Mr. Church to transfer the serious charges preferred against Elim Chapel to the grave yard of St. Dunstan in the West, which in common justice ought to be retracted, as the latter graveyard was free from imputation. Mr. CoLKE wished to be informed whether several feet of the earth close to St. Dunstan's graveyard had been removed, and for what purpose ? Mr. FRISKEN replied that the earth had been re moved to the depth of several feet, to cover the bones that were scattered about. He admitted that formerly disgraceful scenes had taken place in Elim Chapel vaults, but denied that they had been re enacted during the last few years. There had been, at one time, heaped together, in one corner, at least three waggon loads of the ends, tops, and bottoms of coffins. Mr. COMFORT—The people in the neighbourhood who burned the coffin wood informed him that the smell from the wood greatly injured their health. He asked Mr. Walker whether coffins saturated with human material, and employed as fire-wood, would not be injurious to health ? Mr. WALKlR — Unquestionably. Too many cases prove the fact. The inquest jury afterwards proceeded to examine the vaults, which presented a most revolting spec tacle. A large pit had been recently excavated, to the depth of several feet, whence a vast number of human remains had been removed, and on the right hand side was an accumulation, to the height of seve ral feet, of human bodies and broken coffins, while opposite was piled together heaps of old broken coffins. The jury and several other gentlemen having ex pressed their disapprobation of the state of the vaults, Sir James Duke, who had most minutely examined every portion of the vaults, said that the present pro prietors were not to blame for the confused manner in which the dead were heaped together. On the con trary, they were doing all in their power to remedy the evil, and the alterations which they were making were necessarily imposed upon them, and were done with every possible respect for the dead. Still, he called upon them to lose no time in completing their work, and thereby securing to the dead respect, and to the living security from disease. . _ _ Dr. FAR ' QUALB assured the worthy Alderman and the inquest that since he had visited the vaults during the previous week many of the abominations which he bad then witnessed were removed. For instance, he saw in one coffin three bodies, one that of a female, whose net cap was quite fresh. He wished to know what became of those bodies. Sir J. DUKE—The trustees do not deny that such abuses had existed, but in which they had no share; and those abuses they were new endeavouring to reform. Mr. J. ATKINSON, surgeon, Westminster, and Mr. Ross, surgeon, and successor to the late Dr. Lynch, gave it as their opinion that the present condition of Elim Chapel vaults was opposed to the decency with which the dead ought to be treated, and exceedingly injurious to health. Mr. Fowma said that on Sundays be had seen as many as nine persons removed from the chapel in fainting fits, induced by the pestilential exhalations from the vaults. Mr. PEARSON, in answer to questions from Sir James Duke and others, said that on two previous occasions similar complaints had been made against Elim Chapel, once fourteen, and again seven years ago. But he was confident that the present would be the last. The scene they had witnessed proved that burials should only be permitted in consecrated ground. Sir JAMES Duicz having again pledged the trustees to lose no time in properly securing the vaults against further sacrilegious intrusion, the inquiry concluded, and the angry crowd assembled in the chapel were, by the entreaties of Messrs. Comfort and Walker, induced to depart peaceably. FIRE IN THE WEST INDIA DoCßB.—Last night between seven and eight o'clock, information was re ceived at the London fire stations of a fire having broken out in the West India Docks. Poplar. The tiremes found that the ship Helena, of Dublin, lying in the Import Dock, had taken fire about an hoar previously. The fiantes originated from some unexplained cause, in what is termed the aft-deck, or steerage, containing a quantity of sails and ships' stores. The flames having obtained a strong hold of the under part of the deck, the water pumped down could not touch that compartment, consequently ;he work of destruction was still going on. Mr. Fogo,4he foreman of the brigade, on reaching the place, suggested that a ladder should be p rocured and lowered into the store. That having been done, the brigademen went below, and by taking the branches of the engines they were enabled to scatter the water in the right direction, which had the desired effect of getting the fire entirely subdued. The damage done, however, to the ship is very considerable, for such was the violence of the flames that some of the beams-are nearly burned through, and the aft-deck is very seriously injured. In dependent of which a number of sails and general stores are consumed, Marshal Sebastiani still remains at his hotel in the Rue du Fauburg St. Honore, and is as well in health as hie great ege and the late distressing events in his family will permit. The Conseil de Familia has, it is .said,- nominated him guardian of the children of his l ate daughter,' d daughter,' the Duchess de .Pras li n. Af ter v isiting the is • •iti apartments in which she w as murdered, the Marshal decided that they shall be l e ft i n th © same state as they were in after the aim Mid that the doors and Windows stall be waled up. " Contract, No. 2. " This contract has been let since the last meeting. It embraces the portion of the railway between the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Dudley, and the first contract, passing through Dudley Port, Great Bridge, and Wednesbury. The contractors are at work wherever the land has been •btained ; and arrangements have been made with the Birmingham Canal Company which will greatly facilitate the progress of the works. " Contract, No. 3. " This contract has also been let since the last meeting. It includes the portion of the line between Walsall and the Birmingham and Derby Railway, near the Oakley Station, passing through the city of Lichfield. The contractors have possession of the land for eight out of seventeen miles of railway in cluded in this contract, and, with one exception, at places along the line where the greatest exertions on t h ei r part will be required for completing the line. " Contract for Rails, Chairs, and Sleepers. " Messrs. John Bagnall and Sons, of West Brom wich, and Messrs. Harrison and Co., of Leeds, con tinue to supply the contractors regularly, the former with rails and chairs, and the latter with sleepers. " On the whole, I have to report favourably to you of the work that has been executed, and of the mate rials for the permanent way at present on the ground, as I consider them to be of the best description and - The tatement of the accounts s h owe d t h at the quality." total receipts of the company up to the 31st of July, 1847, had been 128,9921., and the expenditure 51,4971., leaving a balance in the bankers' hands of 77,4951. Mr. JESSON inquired when they thought the whole line would be completed ? The CHAIRMAN said, the contracts expired on the 28th of July, 1848 ; and in answer to other questions put by shareholders, he observed that the balance in hand stated in the account was up to the 28th of July, and that in all probability at the pfesent time it was not more than 40,0001., if so much. The con tracts on hand amounted - to nearer 300,0001. than 200,0001.; but after all, with the exception of the cost of the new pr o j e cted line to Cannock , h e did not . think that th e y s hbuld requ ire - calls for more than /. out of their 12/. sbares.
