( From the Timm ) vie rt nn i : t a h n a r t io t l i n e ce nd bgy elder and y ounger b ranc h es o f t h e h ouse o f B our b on h as e a x p t e e c l e t e g d rap h ich reconciliation despatch of f t o h m e been celebrated at Frolisderf by a formal exchange of visits between the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Bordeaux, and we presume that the oldest surviving son of Louis Philippe must be held to have acted on this oc casion as the representative of the whole branch of the Royal family to which he belongs. Whatever may be the merits of this scheme of fusion, to which more im portance has been attached than it really deserves, it is gratifying that princes so nearly united by blood and so closely identified by their misfortunes should have agreed to bury in oblivion differences connected altogether with the history of the past, and to put au end to that divi sion of the Royal Family of France which contributed, with other causes, to the total subversion of the monarchy. They quarrelled, unhappily for themselves, as long as they had anything to quarrel about, and nothing but exile and a common fate has now brought them together. But this event terminates that scandalous speetacle of rival parties in the same family bidding against one another for the national favour, and allowing the divisions of their re spective adherents to weaken still further the cause of the Crown. Personally, we have no doubt that the reconciliation is hailed with great satisfaction by both branches of the family, and, whatever may be the future destiny of their house, it is seemly that they should meet it or endure it together. The Orleans branch was raised to the throne by one revolution and deposed by another. The interval was a period of unexampled freedom and prosperity to Frai ce. But the reign of Louis Philippe, in spite of the great services rendered by that Sovereign to his country, created no rights and left few traces behind it. The Orleans princes had nothing to renounce, and in losing the throne they were restored to their natural position towards the head of their family. This reconciliation is, therefore, no more than the recognition of a state of things which already existed, and the honourable extinction of those feelings of resentment injuries which mutual in former times had left behind them. It changes in reality nothing, and it can hardly be said to alter the position of any important parties in France. sisters to the tender mercies of a Paris mob. Can they who dared not strike one blow to retain a throne be worthy to fill it, or capable of winning it ? There is some comfort in the thought that they are not likely to succeed, but that very circumstance would increase their guilt if they made the attempt. Our history shows the many evils entailed by the efforts of an exhausted, effete race, such as were the Stuarts, and as are the Bourbons, to regain the throne they have forfeited by misgovern ment, and we sincerely hope they may be spared to our neighbours. Those days are past for us, we trust never to return ; may we not witness the like in France ! That e)untry has undoubtedly been secured severalyears of tranquillity and progress by the masculine and saga cious rule of the present Emperor. We may, perchance, regret that his power was founded on violence, though it may be that those acts were necessasy to the cure of the ills from which the country had long been suffering. But now there is no such excuse or necessity ; and he who throws the nation into trouble for his own selfish ends will, whoever he may be, and whatever his descent, deserve the punishment certain to fall on numbers of his victims and accomplices, though he, the chief and author of all, may escape. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN. A public meeting was held on Monday at Cardigan to promote the formation of a line of railway on the broad gauge, from Carmarthen to this town, and the construc tion of a harbour of refuge in Cardigan bay. The MAYOR (Mr. Davis) took the chair, and adverted to the disadvantages which the port had long laboured under from the want of railway communication. At present they might be said to be cut off from the other parts of the kingdom. The position of the harbour and bay presented many facilities for developing a large amount of traffic, which could not fail to be productive of muchi good to the principality. It was, therefore, with some consid era bl e satisfaction that he had seen the scheme taken up in the spirited manner it had been. The harbour of refuge would be of paramount import ance, not only in a commercial but in a national point of view. Mr. FITZWILLIAIf then went into a lengthened detail of the character and route of the proposed railway, and extent and position of the harbour of refuge. Having explained the great source of traffic to be found in the mineral district through which the line would run, he alluded to the harbour, and the strong probability of a line of packets being put on between the principal Irish ports and that of Cardigan, which was several hours nearer to London than by the way of Holyhead. H e had no doubt of the success of the undertaking, and he trusted for the prosperity of the neighbourhood that it would be carried out. Mr. LLOYD then moved the first resolution, to the effect " That in the opinion of this meeting, the Cardi gan and Carmarthen Railway and Cardigan Harbour Improvement Company merits the support of the town and corporation of Cardigan, as also of the farmers, landowners, and others interested in the prosperity of the principality ; and this meeting pledges itself to promote the objects of the company by supporting the undertaking to th e u t mos t o f th e i r p o wer." Re bore strong testimony to the advantages which would result from the proposed extension of the railway from Car marthen. Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, which was adopted, as were other resolutions in favour of the scheme. It was stated that 250,0001. had been subscribed in the principality towards carrying out the scheme, and that meetings were held last week at Carmarthen and Newcastle, at which resolutions were adopted fully ap proving the undertaking.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with English wheat. On the whole a fair average business was transacted in that grain, at fully Monday's prices. The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 16,000 quarters. For country consumption there was a steady inquiry, and the quotations were well supported. In floating cargoes, next to nothing doing. Barley and malt sold slowly, at the late decline. The supplies were tolerably good. The supply of Irish oats' was large, yet the oat trade ruled steady, st full prices; Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. Wheat. 560 ARRIVALS THIS VMS& Barley.

Transactions amounted to 560 hhds, &c., including at auction 273 bids Barbad oes , which went riskly at very full prices—fine yellow at 38s to 395. _-- REFINED.—To-day refined sugar was in excellent request for home consumption, and prices closed firmly, brown lumps at 445, and low to fine grocery 44s (id to 48s per cwt. Several export buyers of crushed sugar. Prices are well kept up for British and Dutch. FOREIGN.—To-day floating cargoes of brazil a d yellow Havannah were sought after for exportation and the 'United Kingdom at previous rates, but business was much interfered with by a reduced supply. In duty-paid parcels several transactions at full prices. None was offered at auction. COFFEE.—To-day Mocha coffee was less in request. In plantation several parcels were sold privately at firm prices ; at public sale 40 cases and 40 bags went for good quality at 65s to 679, mid 58s to 58s 6d, and fine ord 54s 6d. In native several transactions privately, and prices closed firmly at 46s to 46s Gd for good ordinary. COCOA.—To-day Trinidad met with little attention, and at auction 964 bags were all withdrawn.

Transactions privately were 5,000 chests, and the latest terms obtained for ord to good sound is 3d to is 3.1 d per pound. The public sales went with animation, and of 10,000 packages passed, 8,000 sold nearly all green, and the rates obtained were rather above those of yesterday TALLOW.—There was an active demand for Russian up to Thursday, and advanced rates were obtained ; first Y.C. candle on the spot selling at 57s 6d to 58s, and 58s 6cl. to 58s 9d for spring months. Since which transactions have been moderate, and there is a reduction ; 56s 6d to 56s 9d having been accepted on the spot ; 56s 3d to 56s 6d for delivery next month ; and 57's 3d to 47s 6d for spring. Other sorts of tallow have been less in request. Exports of tallow from St. Petersburg are this season 102,050 casks, against 83,386 in 1852, 103,227 in 1851, and 117,116 in 1850. OILS.—In palm oil transactions have been on a larger scale, and prices are firm at 49s to 41s for mid to fine qua lity. Supply is not more plentiful, and consumption in creases. A good demand for cocoa nut, Cochin at 465, and Ceylon 44s 6d to 45s 6d.

COCHINEAL—Accounts from Teneriffe of the 17th inst. confirm the statements as to the damage sustained by the cochineal crop, and state that the unfavourable weather still continued. LORD BROUGHAM.—Doctor Seve, of Cannes, has ad dressed the following letter to the Union du Var : "In a former number of your estimable journal it is stated that 'Lord Brougham appears to have retired from public life, and to have fixed his residence at Cannes, in order to devote himself to the care of his broken constitution.' It is my duty, as the physician of the Brougham family at Cannes, to correct an error calculated to afflict the numerous friends of the noble lord and the entire scientific world. Never did Lord Brougham enjoy more perfect health during the twenty years which he has visited our country." THE GOLD MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per male discount (according to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.091 ; and, the exchange at Paris on London at short being 24.971, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham burg the price of gold is 420 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s, 101 d. per ounce for stan dard gold, gives an exchange of 12.28 ; and, the ex change at Hamburg on London at short being 13.1, it follows that gold is 0.65 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.17 per cent. in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United States. It is understood that Messrs. Baring are remitting 300,000/. in half-imperials to St. Petersburg, on account, it is presumed, of the Russian Government. The additional shipments by other firms were to the amount of about 80,0001. —A frightful crime was FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE. committed at Figueras, in Spain, on the 9th. A man and his wife, who had long been on bad terms, had a violent quarrel, during which the husband took up his youngest child, aged four years. and threw it out of the window into the street. He then with a hatchet in flicted three dreadful wounds on the head of his wife. A gamekeeper armed with a carbine came up and called upon the man to surrender, but he refused, and, taking his gun, fired at the gamekeeper, but missed him. The gamekeeper then discharged his carbine, and shot the man through the head. The mother and child were taken to the hospital with no hope of recovery. Indeed, if we regard this occurrence with satisfaction, it is not from any exaggerated conception of its political importance, but because at this moment it can scarcely he considered to have any serious political meaning or effect. The Duke de Bordeaux and the sons of King Louis Philippe have adhered inflexibly to one rule of conduct. They have not conspired, they have not kept up any system of agitation hostile to the Government of France, they have not courted the support of foreign Powers, and, whenever they have expressed an opinion on passing events, it has been publicly, and without disguise. We know not if the pretenders of Frohsdorf and of Claremont are regarded with apprehension at St. Cloud, but certainly never were fewer efforts made to C.efend a political cause ; and the resignation of these Princes to a fate which, as far as they are concerned, is certainly a hard and undeserved one, is only exceeded by their confidence in that mysterious course of events which can alone heal the breach between them and the French people. The day may come, they appear to think, when France will not disown the liber ties for which she once so ardently contended, and when the stability of her Government will once more depend, not on the energy of despotic power, but on the strength of legal rights. Had they chosen to stake their cause on the hazards of civil war, or on some dar ing political adventure, opportunities were not wanting in the troubled months which followed the Revolution of 1848, when the people eagerly rallied round the first name which promised them a refuge from the storm. But they stood aloof from that temptation, and their only course is patiently to await the results of the ex periment the French nation has since thought proper to try. It would be the height of absurdity to connect the fusion which has just taken place in the house of Bourbon with any scheme for the overthrow of the pre sent Government, or any designs against the tranquil lity of France. There are, indeed, in Paris a set of retired statesmen and disappointed politicians, who cannot obliterate from their minds and from their habits impressions derived from the Parliamentary era that constitutes the hest portion of their lives. To them the formation of what has been termed "the party of the fusion" has been a sort of pastime and pursuit, reminding them of the combina tions in which they once excelled ; but, now that the fusion is accomplished, we question it the most zealous pro moters of it could inform us to what practical political object it can be turned. They are perfectly aware that to the bulk of the French people the Bourbons of Frohsdorf and the Bourbons of Claremont are subjects of as much indifference as Louis XVIII. while lie lived at Mittau or Hartwell. That people worships but one idol at a time, though it must be confessed that it changes its faith pretty frequently. But, as long as the state of things lasts which has consigned France to Louis Napoleon and absolute power, the regrets of statesmen who have ceased to play a part in the world, the disaf fection of polite society, and even the fixed aversion of all that is highest, noblest, and best in the land, will not materially accelerate the fall of the Imperial dominion. Like all fancy Governments, sprung out of the emer gencies of a revolution, the empire commands for a time the absolute subjection of the country in a higher de gree than any form of Government which the nation has not just called into being ; but with its novelty the essence of its power declines, and it is the fate of such Governments to be all-powerful with one generation, but powerless over the next. Legal rights, and especially the legal rights of hereditary monarchy, are less universal and exclusive in their sway than the caprices of elective Governments ; but the experience of all mankind favours the belief that this law of descent is, upon the whole, one of the best safeguards of a nation. The French people, how ever, have shown in the last sixty years that they have little or no respect for this principle, and in the free exercise of their national power they have repeatedly set it aside. They are the sole judges of what concerns them, and it is perhaps of little importance to the rest of Europe whether they discard it for ever, or whether they revert to it. Certainly no other power but their own free choice will ever again affect to restore it ; and that choice can only be so directed by great calamities arising out of the opposite cause, which we sincerely hope not to witness. But those Princes who by their birth and station are the natural representatives of this legal right have a clear duty to perform. They owe it to the name they bear, and to the services they may one day be called upon to render, to maintain the dignity of their position and the union of their family. Whatever be the power of Louis Napoleon, it is still a power with out a future, and a reign without a successor ; and although we acknowledge no predilection, and we can form no expectations for those who represent the ancient monarchy of France, it would be rash to affirm that among the unknown changes of futurity some tide may not again float the vessel now thrown so high upon the shore. (From the Morning Herald.) often hitherto tworevolutioni tbthhe An event which was announced in the mornilig papers of yesterday, as mentioned in a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, is one likely to be observed without much attention, and to pass rapidly from our recollection, pre occupied as we are with the aggression of the Czar on the Turkish Empire. And yet the union of the two branches of the house of Bourbon may be intimately connected with the Eastern question, and may be destined to have a very important effect on its result. It is not to be supposed that so astute and active-minded a politician as the Emperor Nicholas, should have been standing idly by during all the time that has elapsed since the' failure of Prince Menschikoff's mission, quietly waiting for the next event which should be cast uppermost on the wheel of fortune. In so long delaying his answers to the propositions made to him, he cannot only have meant to show indifference as to the result or contempt for the persons from whom they emanated. It is pretty certain that his apparent moderation was pre-determined, and the seeming dilitoriness and inaction of his generals the result of design. We have often suspected that he would not be sorry if some circumstance should arise to make the understanding between England and France less cordial, or to occupy one of these countries so seriously as to force it to withdraw its attention altogether from the Levant.

But such an event will be by no means so satisfactory to Englishmen. We shall not be over anxious to wel come to the throne of France the r epresentatives of a family who have always been our bitter enemies, not withstanding the many benefits t he y have received from us and our country, though with a certain class of minds, indeed, the burden of an obligation is sufficient to cause enmity to the benefactor.

Can princes bring prosperity to a nation i if they are so cowardly as to abandon their wives and Some time since an action was brought against this company for the extra fare which they had demanded of a passenger, who was compelled to return by an express train after he had taken an ordinary return ticket. The judge then ruled, that as nothing was said, either on the placards distributed about the station, or on the ticket, that anything extra was to be paid for express trains, they were not justified in demanding it. Since that de cision the company have issued fresh handbills, in which they have inserted that the return fares mentioned on them are for " ordinary " trains only. Mr. Solomon attended on behalf of the accused. The first witness called was Mr. John "'enfold Morris, a pupil and house surgeon at Guy's Hospital, who de posed that on the morning of Monday, the 24th of last month, Mrs. Hannah Grinney was brought to that hos pital. On examining her he found a wound of about four or five inches in length across the front of her throat. There were also two other wounds, one in an upward and another in a downward direction, and all could not have been inflicted with one cut. They were incised wounds, but did not appear to have been in. flicted with a very sharp instrument, as the edges were somewhat jagged. A small quantity of blood was oozing from one of her ears, and there was a slight contusion on one of her cheeks, but both those injuries might have been caused by a fall or a blow. Both her hands were severely wounded, particularly the right band, Iwhich had not yet got well, and she would lose the use altogether of one of her fingers on that hand. She re mained under his (witness's) care from that time to the present, and at no time was her life in danger. The prisoner's unfortunate victim, who had been brought from the hospital in a cab, and who seems a very respectable, good-looking, and matronly female, aliout 36 years of age, was here sworn and deposed as follows :—I am the wife of the prisoner, and at the time of this unfortunate transaction lived with him and my children at No. 35, Park-street, Kennington-cross. On the night of Sunday, the 23rd of October (my hus band has on many other occasions made use of violent threats towards me), when going up stairs to bed he told me that my time was short, and that I had better prepare myself. We went to bed, and at about two in the morning we were aroused by a knocking at the door, and we learned from my daughter, who slept down stairs, that the parties knocking were a young man in the service of my brother, and Henry Lee, who wished to come in and lie down for a short time. My daughter got up, and my husband took a bed down stairs to Lee and the other young man, and both lay down, but were called and let out of the house by my husband at four o'clock on the same morning. On returning up stairs, I observed my husband go to where his trousers were, and observed him do something to the pockets, but his back being towards me I could not distinctly see what. He then came into bed, and I distinctly heard him say " It's too early yet ; and from his manner and conduct altogether I felt alarmed, and had a great desire for the time to get up. Having to go to my sister's that morning, I got up soon after six, and went downstairs, leaving my husband in the bedroom. He came downstairs and joined me in the back ream, and while I was dressing I called out to him and asked what o'clock it was, and he replied "It's close upon seven, my dear," and came close to me on my lett side. I was in the act of putting my brooch into the front of my dress, when my husband, who had his right hand in his trousers pocket, pulled out a black-handled table knife, and exclaiming "Now is the time;" (tittering an opprobrious epithet), and instantly 1, - -,rasd me by the back of the neck with his left hand, commenced cutting my throat. He gave me one cut before I could protect myself, and inflicted the larger wound in the upper and front part of my throat. I raised my hands to peos ee t myself, and having got hold of the knife by the blade, succeeded in getting it out of his hand, and threw it away. He then hid hold of me by the hair and dragged me across the room into the passage, and forced me on the ground. He here drew a second knife from his pocket—the same trousers pocket from which he had taken the first, and again commenced cutting at my throat. He endeavoured to cut me on the left side downwards, but I struggled very violently with him, and called to my daughter to open the par. lour window and cry out for assistance, as my hus band had secured the door. I was fortunately enabled to defend myself by putting my hands up, and thus pre vented my throat from being cut. As my daughter was passing us to get into the parlour, my husband made a desperate thrust at her back with the point of the knife, and if she had not fortunately stumbled at the instant the knife must have gone through her, as she had nothing on at the time but her chemise, and when he saw her open the window, he exclaimed in a savage manner, "I'll pay you for this." I here, by great exer tion, succeeded in getting the second knife from my husband ; but in accomplishing this I received some severe cuts on my hands, and threw it away also. I threw it into the passage. When deprived of this knife my husband forced the tops of his fingers into my throat, and not only endeavoured, but succeeded, in tearing them larger. My husband by some means got a third knife, and having succeeded in dragging me into the front parlour, and dragging my head towards the cupboard, must have, in my then exhausted state, suc ceeded in cutting my throat, had not assistance at that moment arrived and released me from him. I then ran out as far as the front gate, and have no recollection whatever of what occurred until I found myself in the hospital. kr. Norton—What sort of knives were these'! Witness—Black-haadled table knives. Mr. Norton—Where were they kept ? Witness—ln a table drawer in the back parlour. Mr. Norton—Had your husband an opportunity of going to the place where they were kept on that morning t - Witness—Oh yes, sir, he had an opportunity of going there when he went down stairs to call Lee and the. young man, and let them out. Mr. Norton—Can you say where your husband got the third knife ? Witness—No, sir. My opinion was that he might have picked up the knife just took from him, but it ap. pears that three had been used. The officer engaged in the case here produced three black-handled dinner-knives, each of which was deeply tinged and covered with gore. Mr. Norton (to Mrs. Grinney)—Had any other con versation passed between your husband and yourself than you have stated on the morning of this desperate attack on you ? _ _ _ _ Mrs. Grinney—Yes ; I recollected hie asking me if the youth Tom and Lee were not in the front room; and I said, "Why Philip, you must he foolish to talk so. You know you let them out at four o'clock." He then said, "We are all alone now." And I re., plied, " Well, there are as many as are wanted ; there are you and I and our three children." Immediately upon this it was that he said, "Now is the time, you —," and commenced the attack on me. The witness here went into a lengthened statement of the conduct of her husband towards her, produced in a great measure, as it appeared, from his jealousy not only of Lee, but her own brother. On one occasion, when the prisoner was accompanyirm her to the house of her brother, in the neighbourhood of Soho-square, and while passing along Earl-street, Seven Dials, lie asked her to accom• puny him to a brothel. and on her refusing to do so, and expressing her disgu.,,t, at his conduct, he said it was quite dear to him that htr brother, Lee, or somebody else had had that which he should have had. He had also declared he should take the life of her brother, and should also have his revenge of Lee : that he had pur chased powder and balls same time ago, and had priced a pistol. In conclusion the witness said that there was only one thing which she regretted, and that was not having had her husband taken up i months ago, when he stabbed her in the head with a pocket knife. TI.• prisoner's daughter co rroborated much of the tes timony of her mother; and the two men Smith l‘ n rhrs. they G drinLow,ne who had f or t una t e ly come to the rescueiat w o s just in th e n i c k o f ti me , declared that inter fered the prisoner was stabbin„ , his wife with a knife i n the throat just in the same way that a bu t c h er would a , sheep. brought there ; and wh en house when the prisoner was p r oduced he said th a t one s Serjeant Hughes deposed that h e was at th e station -- hadtwo h o e f e t a h e ue b e l d o bloody hiskn iv w e i s fs w a e n r d the other by hims e lf, an d hi s intention, after ng her, to also said that it was this was the cause, he said, of their being s k o lli bloody.

Mr. Solomon replied not ; he should merely request, his wors hip to order the prisoner's furniture t o b e de livered up, so as to enable him to defend himself. The man Lee, he said, who had more to do with the unfor tunate affair than it would be prudent to disclose, had been dealing with the furniture, and removed it from the prisoner's late residence. Inspector Carter said that by desire of Mr. Elliott he had made some inquiries on the subject, and found that nearly the whole of it belonged to the prisoner's brother in-law. The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. There was one thing most remarkable in the proceed • ings, and that was that during her lengthened examina tion Mrs. Grinney did not, from beginning to end, be tray the slightest emotion, and her daughter, a keen• looking girl of 18, sat by her side all the time, and appeared as if the dreadful details referred to the most common-place affair ; and oven the prisoner heard the evidence with the utmost nonchalance. POWDER MILL BLOWN Ur.—FIVE MEN KILLED. — A. shocking accident occurred in Spencer on Friday. The powder mill of Lewis Bemis, known as the Corning Mill, and situated about one mile from the village, was blown up about half-past nine o'clock in the forenoon, killing five men. The names of the killed are Henry Avis, foreman, Englishman, 22 years old, no family ; Richard Avis, his brother, 33 years old, had a wife and one child ; Robert Perkins, Englishman, 30 years old, no family ; George Swallow, Englishman, 25 years old, had a wife ; John Laflin, Irishman, teamster, 25 years old, no family. He was blown into fragments. Three were found under the mill in the water ; Swallow in a potato-field 40 rods from the mill, with one leg bl ow , off; and the other a short distant* from the mill. There was a horse and waggon close b y the mill. The waggon was blown into fragments , a nd the h o rse knocked down, but not killed. There were 50 ke g s of powder i n th e mill. This is the second mill of Mr. Bernie which has been blown up within two mouths.—Springflad(M ) Republican. FENCHURCH-STREET STATION This station, which has been erected partly on the site of the old terminus of the Blackwall Railway in Fen church-street, was opened for public traffic on Monday. At present it is only used by the Blackwall and North- London (Camden-town) trains, those from the Ea s t ern Counties and Tilbury (Gravesend) lines not being brought there until the works now in progress are completed, widening the Blackwall Railway from Fenchurch-street to the Haydon-square junction. The works have been examined and approved by Captain Simmonds, the Go vernment inspector. BRISTOL AND EXETER. LIVERPOOL HIGH LEVEL. A. novel plan is proposed for the construction of a high level railway for goods and passenger traffic in con nexion with the Liverpool Docks, running four miles along the river frontage, 20 feet above ground, on iron columns, and uniting with the various railways having their termini in Liverpool. Four line of rails are pro posed, and the railway, warehouse cranes, and other re quirements may, it is calculated, be constructed for about 1,000,0001. GREAT WESTERN AND SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.— The Parliamentary notices in respect to these companies do not disclose the precise relations intended, nor the terms under which the valuable assistance of the one is to be accorded to the other. These are not yet defini tively arranged. The more rapid completion of the works is the chief object aimed at, so that the capital already expended may be brought to a profitable bearing as early as possible. We doubt not the two parties will therefore speedily place themselves in a position by which both may be benefited without detraction to the interests of either.—Railway Times. GRIND TRUNK OF CANADA RAILWAY.—The reports, to be found in another column, of Mr. W. Chapman, the secretary, and of Sir Cusack Roney, the managing di rector, will be read with peculiar interest. After so much discussion as has recently taken place on the merits of the undertaking, and the conduct of the directors in reference to the Great Western of Canada, the official reports will be very acceptable. The works are re ported to be proceeding well, the prospects of a remu nerative dividend are shown to be good, and on the question of the "aggressive" policy of the company, Sir Cusack has the following paragraph, the tone of which does not certainly in the least degree indi cate the insane animosity some time ago imputed to the management. " The question that has arisen between this company and the Great Western is one which the directors deeply regret. No act of aggression was ever committed or contemplated by the company ; and the directors can with confidence refer the proprietors to the statement which they have lately laid before the The matter may now be considered to be in course of arrangement, as it is understood the representatives of both companies will agree, if necessary, to leave all matters of difference to the decision of Mr. Robert We have every reason for believing that Stephenson. the charge of the Great Western was a mistake."— Herapath's Journal. THE EASTERN UNION AND THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —The Ipswich, Express states the nature of the arrangement which has been agreed upon by these com panies. The directors of the Eastern Union have con sented to accept a seventh of the gross receipts of the two railways, subject to a reduction of 461. per cent. for expenses. The stock of engines, carriages, &c., of the Eastern Union is to be taken by the Eastern Counties at a valuation, consequently the whole line will be worked by that company. It is calculated that by this agree ment the ordinary shareholders of th e company, ll have for years received no divid en d, w ill have for the future 11. per cent. upon their investments. A similar proposition of one-seventh of the receipts has been made to the Norfolk Company, and will probably be accepted. When these arrangements are completed, it is to be pre sumed that a complete amalgamation of companies will follow. NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.—This company has given notice of appli cat i on to Parliament in the ensuing session for power to abandon the portion of the autho rised line west of a point opposite St. James's Church, Paddington, and, in lieu thereof, to extend the railway from St. James's Church to the south end, of Eastbourne terrace. Also, to make a branch near Praed-street and Sale -street to the Great Western Railway, near the Paddington station. It is also intended to apply for power to extend the authorised line from Battle-bridge to the General Post-office, and to make branches to the London and North Western and Great Northern Rail ways, to appropriate portions of burial grounds near the site of the intended railway, and to divert sewers, drains, &c., with power to purchase land and other property for stations, and to authorise the Great Western Railway Company to subscribe towards the undertaking. It is intended to ask for power to make traffic arrangements with the North London, the London and North Western, the Eastern Counties, the Great Northern, and o!her companies, to raise a further sum of money,and to change the name of the company to the "Metropolitan Railway Company." ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORWICH LINE.—On Saturday night, a train from Norwich, m containg several uundred passengers, met w ith an accident about a mile and a half before arriving at the Forncett station, by the hreaking of the engine. Great consternatiow was created among the passengers by . the fact being com municated that a cattle train was in the rear. Th e dreadful effects of the late accident on the Dublin li ne came vividly to their minds, and they all got out of the train and escaped to the top of the embankm en t . Here they remained a considerable time, but by the prompt cattle train taken by the g uard and o fficers train was prevente d from a pp roachin g , the; the thereby avoiding a collision. PRODUCTION Or COTTON IN PA .RAGIJA.Y.—In the be ginning of the present year Mr. GeorgeW. Drabble went out to the South American provinces, carrying with him letters procured by the Manch ester Commercial Asso ciation, and charged with the dutyo f for ascertaining th e production capabilities of that part of the world d of cotton, as specim ens f rom Tueuwan, one of the in terior provinces, were last year shown in Manchester, and reported upon favourably, It seems, by a letter received ,from Mr. rabble,D cility for the extension f that there is abundant fa of cotton, b u t that the want of labour will be a great obstacle i n the wa y , the though even that difficulty, under superintendence of an active man, might be over- MINES. lAgna Fria ....
