Ihitrite, San Francisco, " REPORTING- P " Her Majesty's ship Ai OCtober, 31. "Sir,—L I have the honour to acquaint you that I sailed from Honolulu in her Majesty's ship under my command on the 16th of June. ," 2. It was my intention to have passed through the Alentian Chain by the Amought* Channel, but the wind headed us off, and on the 28th NV) made the Islands of the Four Mountains. These islands are very remarkable, having conical peaks from 3,000.t0 4,000 feet in height— they were covered with snow fully three-fourths of their height, and partially to the walor's edge. The weather being moderate and tolerably del!, 'determined on trying the channel between these islatds and the island of Younaska ; it is 10 or 11 miles viride, and apparently free from dangers. 'We stood throughlabout mid-channels, and had no soundings at 15 fathoms ; that there was a rippling of the water, but not any strength of current. "3. On the '6th July we made King's Island, and the same evening anchored off. Point Spencer, Port Clarence. " 4. On the following day examination was made of the caches of provisions and coals. Everything was found as we left it last year, with the - exception of the Plover's storehouse ' which was partly knocked down by th e sn o w . " 5. On the 16th we sailed ; beat through the straits the following day, and arrived off Cape Lisburne on the morn ing of the 19th. ' 6. To my surprise, the shore both to the southward and morth-westward of the Cape was blocked with ice. The southern pack extended from .the Cape as far as could be seen, and about 15 miles deep from the land. The other pack asfar as - could be . Seen to the northward and eastward with a lane •of water between it and the land, the wind being southerly, There was a large open space between the two packs, into which we stood to within four or five miles of the Cape and close to the edge of the ice - but there was no appearance of any people or boats. A gun was fired, and we remained until quite satisfied there was no one at the rendezvous. We then stood out and worked along the edge, of the southern pack until the weather became thick. This continued the whole of the next day, with a fresh southerly wind. "7. On the 21st we .stood in and made Point Hope, close to the northward of which we again observed the ice, but much broken. _ _ _ _ "8. On the 22nd we stood for Cape Lisburne. The ice was still off it, but moving fast to the northward; and on the 23rd the shore to the southward of the Cape was free from ice. Two baidars with natives came off; they had buy "9. a The seen nothing of the Plover's boats. A boat was sent to o hang about the land to the north-eastward of Cape Lisburne until the 28 th , when notice ice a te still e con t inuedren dezvou s t . a stronc , southerly wind came on, which lasted till the 31st, an d cleared it away. "10. We cruised off Cape Lisburne till the Ist August, on which day, the weather being settled, we anchored on a bank to the northward of the Cape. This bank has either grown up since Captain Beechey's survey, or was not noticed by him. We had 5.1 fathoms, the Cape bearing S.S.E. (Mag.), five miles. " 11. We remained at anchor till the 4th, when I began to fear S that some accident had happened either to the Plover or her boats, and therefore determined to proceed to Icy Cape, and thence to send a boat to Point Barrow, for which purpose I prepared the pinnace of this ship. A ' cache' of provisions was buried at the western part of the little bay of rendezvous previous to our leaving. " 12. On the sth we made the laud about Point Lay, and observed a stream of ice to the'N.B. The next day we stood through large qiiantities of sailing ice, and as it became much less open as we advanced to the northward, and there being some streams of considerable extent, heavy enough to have rubbed away our channels had we come in contact in a breeze (which in thick weather would have been probable), . I bore up ag ain for Cape Lisburne, re solving not to send a boat at that time ; the ice being so far to the southward at this advance, period of the season appeared to me quite sufficient to account, for the non-ar rival of the Plover's boats. We had stood through the loose ice about ten miles. "13. On the 7th we were again off , o,l q x ? Lisburne, but the boats had not arrived. For two days the wind having blown fresh from the southward, I littlte ice might be cleared away, and, therefore, on the Ofh 4kain made sail to the northward. " 14. On the 9th it 'clew strong N.E., and we stood off and on Joint Lay.,•in_the.ctraek of any vessel coming from Point Barrow. At 9 a.m. of the 10th, a sail was reported to the northwald, v/hich was soon made out to be the Plover, and shortly after I had the satisfaction of hearing that they were all well on board. "15 The boats had been wrecked on the 13th of July in attemping to come down, but the whole party regained their ship in safety. Commander Maguire's despatch gives the details of this accident. We arrived, in company with the Plover, at Port Clarence on the 15th. "18. The Plover was recompleted according to the accom panying report, and sailed on the morning of the 22nd. Very fortunately she met the Rattlesnake at tho entrance of the port. Both vessels were anchored under Point Spencer, and the addition a l su ppli es ( a list of which I have appended to the Plover's report of state and condition) were put on board her. Some of the provisions also supplied from this ship were exchanged far newer from the Rat tlesnake. The Plover finally sailed on the morning of the 24th. " 19. On the 25th, the Rattlesnake came to the upper anchorage, and, having been lightened, two attempts were made to take her into Grantley Harbour without success. Commander Trollope then decided upon keeping her in. Port Clarence. I quite decid e d w ith him as to the pro priety of his decision. "20 During our absence from Port Clarence the British schooner Koh-i-Noor, G. E. lievien, master, had arrived on- a trading voyage, and had made a not ation, dated August 2, on one of the buried papers in Grautiey Harbour. " 21. On the 24th September, we dropped down to Point Spencer to take in wood. The Kodiak, barque, belong ing to the 'Russian-American Fur Company arrived at Port Clarence on the sth. We sailed on the afternoon of the 6th. "22. On the 16th, we passed through the Amoughta Channel without seeing the land, and on the 16th arrived at lat. 40 deg. 10 min. N., long. 150 deg. 30 min. W., where an isl a nd was repor t e d t o have been seen last year by a Swedish vessel, and for which I had orders to search from the Commander-in-Chief. We traversed between the parallels of 40 deg. and 40 deg. 20 min. from 151 deg. 30 min. to 149 deg., the weather being generally clear enough to see land from 12 to 14 miles, and always from seven to eight, but none was seen, nor any indication of it and I feel satisfied that there is no land within the above limits. ' " 23. On the Ist of October we arrived at Honolulu ; having procured refreshments, which were much required by the people, we sailed on the 9th for San Francisco, in prosecution of orders f rom th e C o mmander-in-Chief. Ve arrived at this port on the 28th, and it is my intention to sail in a few days for the coast of Mexico, in pursuance of my orders. , 4 I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient ser vant, , "CHARLES FREDERICK, _ _ " To the Secretary ofiKerdmiralty, LondOn." " REPORTING PROCEEDINGS. "Her Majesty's Ship Plover, Port Clarence, August 21, 1853. " Sir, I have the honour to report to you, for the infer mation of the Lords C omm i ss i on ers of the Admiralty, my proceedings since my list communication of the 21st of August, 1852, in as brief a f or m as I can, omitting the de tails of the necessary ship's duties and arrangements, and beg to refer to the accompanying abridged journal for some account of our intercourse with the Esquimaux, and other incidental occurrences. " Proceeding to sea from Port Clarence, early on the mornin' of the 21st of August, we , passed through Beh ring's Str its by the eastern passage the following day at noon, with a favourable breeze. A succession of contrary winds delayed our progress to the north-east, so that we only arrived at Point Barrow by the 3rd of September, and were frozen in on the 24th of the same month. t 0 t in yT The expectations,approach . shoal aann ,:f ior age sought was, contrary I intricate, but when gained it was secure, ,though difficult of access or egress. " The commencement of our intercourse with the natives was attended with many unpleasant circumstances. No single boat's crew could be at any distance from the ship without being pilfered from, and on the most trivial occa sions knives were frequently drawn on our men who though armed with muskets, had strict orders in no case to make even a show of them unless obliged by necessity. The ship's decks were at times crowded, and in one instance, their manner was so suspicious as to induce me to have the crew armed ; those on deck going below one at a time for pistols, and returning with them secreted in their breasts. There was, however, no occasion for their use. Soon afterwards, a house built on the Spit for the stowage of our stores, was broken into and robbed. The next mornings on the chief coming on board, I got 'possession of his gun, and threatened to attack the village if the stolen articles were not returned, which had the effect of bring ing them in force toward- the ship, armed with bows and arrows; but some shots fired over their heads caused them to retreat without loss of life. The following morning the things were brought back. From this time we appeared to get on better with them, and at length so good an un derstanding appeared to exist between us that I hoped we had succeeded in gaining their confidence. This desirable state of things was unfortunately put ail end to by a ca lamity which occurred on the morning or the Bth of June, a gun. having ' gone off by accident in the hands of the quartermaster of the watch and'killed a Dative man along side the ship ; but I am happy in the belief that the nature of the accident was subsequently understood by them, and that any feelings of ill-will on their part towards us in consequence has subsided. • " The 20th of September had arrived before the beha viour of the natives would allow me to turn my attention the object of the ships being here, when, in order to erect conspicuous' marks of our position, and to examine the capabilities of Deese's Inlet as a winter station, should it be desirable to move the Plover eastward. I made a boat excursion, accompanied by Mr. S. A. Hull, second master, and found the depth Of water at that plaCe insufficient.. To examine the coast still further, and to distribute no- Itices of a ship b e i ng at P oint Barrow, with a view of their fallingintothe h an d s o f parties retreating in this direction from the missing ships, or those engaged in the search for them, I made a journey on the ice,. accompanied by Mr. T. D. Wri g ht, m id s h ipman, as far asPoint Drew, a distance of ,60 miles.to th e eas t war d , and there deposited a small cache of preserved meats in the month of November, This ex cursion occupied only 13 days, but the temperature was i . ' N e a r lu y abe low, l and some f ros t bi tes were the consequence, but experience in i ce travelling was ga i ne d as 'a set off against these evils. Occupying a position which on look ing at the ch ar t, seems so available as a point f departure for exploring p ar ti es a d vancing towards the north-east, p I hail hoped to a tt a i n some considerable distance inthat I' rection, but th e ex i s t ence o f a water sky visible from the 'ship throughout th e w i n t er, and the unexpected break u of the ice to withi n a f ew yards of us, at the solstice,) s' , owed that trav e lli ng on th e sea ice in this re.ion is t oo hazardous to be contemplated at any season. r was there fore competed, reluctantly, to limit myself to a journey along the coast to the eastward. The vicinity of a. popu lous native settlement, together with a debilitated state of the crew and the absence of travelling, equipinent, were serious impediments to distant travelling ;• yet, it seems necessary that the Colville River should be visited, not merely with the *vague hope that intelligence of our ships might be obtained, and to visit the shores of a bay the boats in 1849 could not examine ; but also, in order rightly to understand the information given us by the people of Point Barrow, by being able to identify the rivers and points of. land mentioned by them with those delineated on our charts. An attempt was first made to construct a sledge on the plan recommended by Captain M'Clintock, which failed only for want of proper wood for the runners; but the object was ultimately attained w th native sledges and dogs This journey, a detail of which would be necessary to give on this occasion, but may be 'described in the concluding remarks of my journal, was performed between the 4th and 29th of April ; and, al though its result has been unsatisfactory from the lowness of the land preventing the coast line being traced, and the want of success in gaining information relative to either of the expeditions for whose benefit the Plover is sta tioned at Point Barrow ; yet, it has the advantage of en abling us to interpret the native accounts of the coast, and to establish the fact of these people being acquainted with the Mackenzie River unclx the name of Ko-puk, which I hitherto supposed to apply to the Colville. This, if ne cessary, would determine the position alluded to in the report received by Captain Moore at this place in 1850 of boats' crews having arrived at the Ko-puk and being murdered. (Vide Parliamentary Papers, sessions 97, 7th March, 1851, page 33.) It has also shown us that the coast from Point Barrow to Sir • John Franklin's Extreme (Return Reef) contains no winter huts, and, by unquestionable native report, there are none to some dis tance beyond Barker Island, so that parties travelling in spring or autumn could receive neither assistance nor hin drance from the natives for an extent of at least 250 miles from Point Barrow. From the native accounts here it seems certain that both the Investigator and Enterprise were boarded at the time of their passing along this part of the coast at the distance of 50 and 150 miles east of this place, some of them accurately describing peculiarities about the ships by which they could be known, such as the large ice chocks and diagonal decks, &c. ; but the only actual trace of either of them we may be said to have dis covered is a portion of a paper from the Investigator, dated, " Off Point Drew, Bth August, 1850," together with the canvas bag that had enclosed it. With reference to the progress these ships may have made to the eastward, it might be expected that the movements in the ice at Point Barrow would give some idea of the set of the cur rent in that part of the polar sea; but our observations can go no further than confirm the belief in the existence of a current to the north-east to a distance of only a few miles off the land ; beyond that a line of hummocky ice, from 10 to 20 feet in height, has existed all the winter, appa rently aground in six fathoms. B , yond this line scarcely a day passed through the winter without a water sky being visible between west-south-west and north-east (true). " When easterly winds prevailed a large space of open water was indicated by the extent of water sky, and, when visited,-the vapour rising from its surface obscured the view beyond a few hundred yards; but within that distance heavy ice was seen drifting in the direction of the wind. The natives informed us that the ice was set off the coast by the easterly, and packed upon it by westerly winds, and that the greatest clearance is effected by the south and south-west (true) gales. They point to the north (true) as the direction in which the ice goes ; but we have not been able to understand whether they consider this the effect of a prevailing current. While treating on this subject, it seems worthy of being remarked, that the natives s ate the whales to make their appearance off Point Hope in April and May, when the ice breaks up into fields, and that most of them have disappeared by the time the ships arrive. These animals appear about the same time at Point Barrow, and aro pursued by the natives in their ' o-mi-aks,' which they carry to the open water for that purpose. In June few are seen, and in July none, and the people believe they retire northward, to return again in August and September. The masters of whaling vessels have informed me that whales are less abundant in the open water in July and August than in June. The tides have been registered hourly for nine months, and the result is that the flood makes from the west, and the mean rise and fall in Elson's Bay is seven inches. The high water, at full and change is 1 p.m., but great irregularities occur from the wind, the • rise being scarcely perceptible with fresh east and north east breezes, when, with south. west gales, it amounts to feet. • Of the latter case a remarkable instance occurred on the 18th of December, when the water rose from the usual depth of 14.4 feet to 17 feet 10 inches, with a gale at south west (true), the force of which was registered for 14 hours at 3,9, and 10. The llummucks which had been grounded along the horizon and in shore by northerly and north westerly winds in September were floated by this rise and blown off the land, taking with them all the ice that had formed outside the spit and islands, together with a large portion of the floe within the anchorage, which brought the open water within 40 yards of the ship. On the follow ing day, December 19th, at noon, instead of the usual unbroken field of to the northward, we had none in sight from the masthead, and the view of an open sea was as little agreeable as it was unseasonable. Iu a few days it was again frozen, and' after a time the lino of hummocks was again formed, and remained fast when we passed in the ship, on the evening of the 7th of August. The lateness of the present season, compared with every one since 1848, seems to me to be accountered for by the winter gales having been heavier than usual this last year, and by rais ing higher tides, the heavy masses have grounded more firmly along shore, where they im•iede the current in clearing the shore of the last winter's formation. The months of June and July were remarkable for the ab sence of strong winds, which alone assist in driving the ice off shore. The mean temperature for the 11 months at Point Barrow was, about six degrees higher than that given as the result of Sir E. Parry's 12 months at Mel ville Island ; but the highest and lowest temperatures have had a more limited range, being 50, and 43, or 18 degrees above the 'freezing point, on the warmest day of July, and 75 deg. below it on the coldest day in January. The prevailing winds have been east-north-east, north-east, and northerly (true) during the winter and spring, inter rupted occasionally by those from the opposite points, and after May they were moderate, and more variable. " The fall of snow was not great, and did not exceed one foot in depth, but the air throughout wa: loaded a good deal with clouds and vapours, and during the summer the dew point was high. The climate may, therefore, be con sidered humid, as might be anticipated from its maritime situation. " During the winter the officers took much interest in making astronomical observations, and by a mean of 390 lunar distances the longitude of Point Barrow was found to agree with that given to it by Mr. Elson, the discoverer. A series of magnetical observations wore also made under the superintendence of Mr. Hull, the second master, who also registered the tides, and whose zeal in these occupa tions was highly praiseworthy. The departure of a large portion of inhabitants of Point Barrow and Cape Smyth to the eastward in the early part of July, relieved me of all anxiety about receiving any hindrance to the transport of the boats to the open water, and on the 9th 'I accompanied Lieutenant Vernon and Mr. Gordon, mate, with an auxi liary party, to assist in dragging the boats on sledges over the ice, 12 or 13 miles to the southward of Cape Smyth, where I left him with a favourable breeze, confidently trusting in his success. I enclose Lieutenant Vernon's account of the loss of the boats in his charge, and merely remark that lam perfectly satisfied with the manner in which that officer acquitted himself, and to express my feeling of pleasure that he was able to save the lives of all his party, whose conduct on this occasion was most praise worthy. " Fi:om the Ist of August I had kept up a daily commu nication with Cape Smyth by sending an officer across El son's Bay to report any opening or movement in the ice, and on the 7th, seeing open water round Point Barrow, and a favourable easterly wind blowing, I went in a boat to ex amine the state of the ice. I found the lane of water along shore to terminate a mile north of Cape Srnyth •, but since the day previous another had been formed by the easterly wind outside the land floe and first line of hummocks to the S.W., as far as could be seen on a clear d iy. Return ing on board at 8 p.m., and finding the wind steady at E.S.E., with no change indicated by th e b arome t er, I pro ceeded to sea, hoping to keep the breeze until clear of the ice, and to make my way to Cape Lisburne, to receive orders, or to make arrangements for returning to Point Barrow, in the event of being ordered. Th e w i n d s hi fted to S.W. in the night, with heavy rain and dense fogs. To wards the morning of the 9th a N.E. wind gave us every prospect of soon reaching open water ; but the land floe in the depth of Pearl Bay was found to extend nine miles off shore, which, as the weather was still thick, seemed to offer an impediment to the ship's further progress, but by 10 a.m. the open water was gained through close ice, in which some shocks were sustained, but not more severe than the ship was well able to sustain without injury. On the follow ing day, at 11 a.m., I communicated with her Majesty's ship Amphitrite, and repaired in company with her to Port Clarence, to prepare for another winter at Point Barrow. Having been completed to 16 months' provisions and fuel by that ship, and there being a probability of the arrival of her Majesty s ship Rattlesnake, being now ready for Sed,, purpose sailing hence at 4 a.m. to-morrow, the 22d inst., to take up my winter quarters again at Point Barrow, where I shall remain until released from ice iu 1. 1 .54.

We sighted Cape Rodney at satisfaction of seeing her Majesty's ships Plover coming from Grantley. She had just parted company with her Majesty's ship Amphitrite, and was o n her way to Point Barrow. Captain Maguire pulled out to d us, and arrange that we should both anchor under P • oint Spencer and transfer the provisions and stores (of which I inclose' the lists). We had two bullocks and 16 pigs for hire. The : n m ul o a r n m 6 n ta g n: h ela s former wore killed, and would give fresh meat for heier e for 11 or 12 das ; but of the pigs th e y would only take sr in addition too others received from the Amphitrite. She was, in fact; terribly crowded. Five of. our men volun teered for her, and 5 from her were transferred to the Am phitrite, so that she has left with her crew in good health; and I believe our arrival, besides the good things we brought them, cheered up in a manner and to a degree that is better felt than described. "2. The Plover sailed at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, 24th August, with a nice breeze from S.E., which continued for full 36 hours afterwards, so that I have no doubt she got through the Straits, and as she is only three days later in starting than she was last year, I anticipate that her arrival at Point Barrow will be equally favourable. "3. After staying another day at Point Spencer to col lect 'drift wood for building the house, we went up to Grantley harbour and commenced lightening to enable her to enter the . narrow and somewhat intricate channel, in doing which we have great reason to thank Captain Frede rick and the Amphitrite for the most cheeiful and valuable assistance. "4. I propose to leave Grantley Harbour about the middle of July, and then to skirt the ice between Asia and America as far as we can go with safety ; and to lie off Icy Cape, Wainwright Inlet, or Point Franklin, as the case may be and the ice determine, about the first week in August, there to look out for the Plover, and return with her to Port Clarence. This course has been agreed upon with Captain Maguire, and will, I trust, meet their lord ship's approval, as the most likely to be of service to the cause. No benefit would be derived from our being off the coast of America until August, it not being possible that the Plover could leave Point Barrow before that time, and the sooner we have some change aft er b e i ng re l ease d from winter quarters the better it will be for the health and spirits of the men ; and we may, perhaps, do some good, or obtain some information by skirting the pack. Besides, the Plover's condition not being particularly good, if any thing happened to her we should be able to find our way to Point Barrow and receive her crew. " 5. On our falling in with the Plover, or receiving her crew, I proposed returning to Port Clarence, to meet the vessel their lordships' orders give me to understand will be depatched from Admiral Moresby's squadron ; or, in the event of our not receiving further orders, to deposit our spare provisions in the house, and proceed to Honolulu. "6. Since writing the above, I have twice, without suc cess, attempted to take the ship into Grantley Harbour. After sounding and buoying the channel, and finding, as we thought, 17 feet and 16 fe e t 6 i nc h es throughout, we weighed with the wind at E.N.E., but took the ground in the narrowest part. The tide ebbing an hour afterwards left us with only 14 feet, although we had 17 and 19 feet within a ship's length. We laid two anchors out astern, but could not start her an inch, therefore commenced lightening her. After taking about 80 tons out, being favoured with remarkably fine and calm weather on the fol lowing day, after having been 20 hours on shore we hove her off without difficulty ; in fact, from the tacit strain there was upon the hawsers, she wont off almost of her own accord. The bottom is soft clay, thereforeshe sustained no damage ; but I do not think it advisable to take a ship of this class into Grantley Harbour. We might, indeed, lighten her much more, but with great risk of damaging the stores and dry provisions, which must necessarily be much exposed ; in fact, aided as we were by the Amphi trite's boats, and during unusually fine weather, I was most anxious about it. The channel is extremely narrow and intricate, and the bottom evidently goes in ridges, so that it might be possible to carry a line of soundings of 17 feet in, and then go over the same ground and have 15, and even 13 feet ; and if a ship gets on shore in the pas sage, and a south-westerly wind comes on, the sea gets up so rapidly that the consequence might be serious. There is a certain risk of having the ship in Port Clarence when the ice breaks up, but, as far as I can judge, not so great but, that it may be encountered. On Thursday, the Ist Repteratier;:arrnrade a fresh atterript, rising greater caution than before, warping in with hawsers both a-head and astern, but, although under peculiarly favourable circum stances, from a southerly wind having raised the water considerably, we again stuck fast and were obliged to haul her off. I have now determined not to attempt it again, and I can only hope that the result may prove that I have not judged improperly. In the event of their lordships requiring the Rattle snake to return to the northward from Honolulu, or to re main hero during the winter of 1854 and 1855, I beg leave to enclose demands for provisions and stores for another 12 mouths, dating from November, 1854 •` 8. I enclose a state and condition of this ship. " I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, "HENRY TROLLOPE, Commander." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 16.

Mr. J. C. COBBOLD, the chairman of the company, briefly addressed the meeting, remarking that it had been rendered necessary by the act of the 15th and 16th Victoria. At one time the common shareholders re fused to consent to the conversion, but they had now agreed to the proposition. It was extremely desirable to get out of debt before entering into relations with other companies, which, he trusted, would place the company in a better position than it had hitherto oc cupied. (Hear, hear.) He concluded by proposing a resolution in conformity with the object above stated. The resolution was seconded by Mr. G. SMITH, and carried unanimously ; and the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors terminated the proceedings. NEWALL'S RAILWAY BREAK. Yesterday a trial of Newall's patent railway break took place on the London and North-Western Railway, between London and Watford. The train started from . the London station at one o'clock, and consisted of an engine, tender, two break vans, and six first-class car riages.. There were six breaks attached to the train. In the train were several gentlemen from different railway companies, among whom were Mr. Watkin, of the Lon don and North-Western ; Mr. Newall, the patentee • and two gentlemen from the Northern of France Railway. When the train acquired a speed of 39i miles per hour, it was stopped on an ascending gradient of 1 in 341 by the breaks in 33 seconds from the time the signal was given, and in tie space of 393 yards, the length of the train being 68 yards. The train was again started, and after some time acquired a speed of 41 miles per hour, swelicoenndts the hesign tr al ain tothe train was given, and in 31 gradie n t o f 1 i n 600, an d in the space of 324 yards.

THE LARGEST VIADUCT IN THE WORLD. The opening of the Newport, Abergavenny, and Here ford Railway, which took place last week, has naturally drawn attention to the works in connexion with that line yet to be accomplished. The line at present extends but from Newport to Hereford ; though the continuance of the narrow gauge from the last-named city to Shrews bury, W orcester, &c., on to Liverpool and the north, renders it of more importance than might at first be • considered. An important extension, however, yet re mains to be accomplished. This is, to form a loop line at Pontypool, at a junction of the Hereford and Ponty pool Railway, which will extend thence to the great coal basin of Glamorganshire, embracing also much of the iron and coal district of that county and Monmouth. shire. This will be termed " the loop line ; " and, at tention being now directed to this branch, we find that, in connexion with its works, a viaduct, which will be the largest in the world, is about to be constructed. From Pontypool the loop line extends up the pic turesque valley of Crumlyn, which forms, in fact, the first entrance upon the romantic scenery of Wales. This valley extends for about five miles to the west. Upon this piece of the line there is a tunnel now cutting, 800 feet long ; and embankments of a large character, with here and there deep cuttings, are necessary. Just be yond the tunnel the railway will suddenly emerge upon the high range of land known as the Soverydd Mountain. The apex of this great elevation will form the resting place of the first abutment of the largest railway viaduct in the world. Below is the western valley, in which the river Ebbw flows downwards to the Severn. The rail way of the Monmouthshire Company runs through this valley ; and a small village, with two or three collieries, fills up the scene, which is peculiarly attractive. The viaduct will cross this valley to the oppo site height of Trinant mountain, and then branch off angularly to the crest of Crosspenmayne hill, a small valley lying between. The mean height of the viaduct above the railway now traversing the west ern valley will be no less than 200 feet. When this pas sage is accomplished, the line will extend through a beautiful Monmouthshire district of hill and vale, lull of mineral wealth and works, into the Glamorganshire dis trict, which equally teunis with products calculated to enrich a railway proprietary. The loop line will pro ceed on to Quakers's-yard, where it will unite with the Taff Vale Railway, which proceeds down, on the one hand, to the great shipping port of Cardiff, and, on the other, up to the great works of the late Sir John Guest, Mr. Crawshay, and M r . Ald erman Th ompson, at Mer thyr, Dowlais, Penydarren, &c. Thence a line is pro jected to extend to shipping ports further down—Neath, Swansea, Port Talbot, Milford Haven, &c. ; the whole district teeming with a vast population and the largest collieries and ironworks in the kingdom.

ELOPEMENT.--On Wednesday last the wife of Mr. Stocker, proprietor of a highly respectable academy at Boughton, near Faversham, left her home in company with one of the ushers, named Chatterton, and has not since been heard of. The guilty parties took with them all the plate, and a consi der able s um o f money ; the f a ithl e ss woman has left three children and a husband in a state bordering on distraction, and the worthless scoundrel, the companion of her flight, has succeeded in victimising several tradesmen in Boughton and Favor sham, to rather a large amount..--;Fouth, Eastern Gazette.
