WEREVER I GO 'Tie a singular thing, but a fact you must know, I'm reminded of MOSES wherever I go.

Wherever I go I am certain to meet With the dresses of MOSES, so stylish and neat. If I go to a party, the gentlemen there Remind me of MOSES in all that they wear; If I take a long trip on the stage or the rail, Fellow-passengers tell me the very same tale. On the right and the left, and the left and the right, The fashions of MOSES app ear in my sight. At the cot and the palace, the church and the play, The dresses of MOSES and SON I survey. Yes, the rich and the poor, and the high and the low, Remind me of MOSES wherever I go. And what do I learn from a fact such as this? That the garments of MOSES have nothing amiss. Should I meet with these dresses wherever I go, If the clothes were deficient in quality ? No I But u .o—a a-ty marks them, and fashions as well.

Saturday having been appointed for the opening of the Trent Valley Railway, the train started from the Euston-square station at twenty-five minutes past nine o'clock ; but for fully an hour before many persons had arrived at the station in order to take their places in time. At the starting of the train from Euston-square there were fourteen or fifteen carriages, each containing eighteen persons. At Rugby, and various other places on the way, a great number of individuals joined the company, and on the arrival of the train at Tamworth there could not have been fewer than 700 or 800 persons in the carriages. On reaching Nuneaton, the first sta tion after leaving the London and North Western line, a large concourse of persons were assembled to greet the arrival of the train, which they welcomed with loud cheers, and with every demonstration of delight at the opening of the new mode of conveyance to and from their little village. The train, which left Rugby at forty minutes past eleven, reached Nuneaton at half-past twelve and Atherstone at ten minutes to .one. Here the villagers were dressed in their holiday attire. Crowds of persons came from all parts of the surround ing country, an d a ll t h e c hild ren o f the Sunday and other schools w ere b roug h t out, un d e r the care of their teachers, to witness th e i n t eres ti n g sight. The station was decorated w ith fl owers an d eve rgreens, and flags were to be seen floati ng i n t h e a i r in various directions. As the train arrived and departed it was greeted with hearty cheers and waving of handkerchiefs. A similar reception met the train on its arrival at Polesworth, which it reached at fifteen minutes past one. But it was on its arrival, at twenty minutes to two, at Tamworth, that it was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm. An excellent band of music was engaged for the occasion. The first persons who e. ,, re seen on the platform were Sir Robert Peel and l sdy, „,411 other members of his family. The Right Hon. Baronet went up to a number of the gentlemen as they quitted the carriages, and cor • dially shook them by the hand. Sir Robert appeared in excellent health and spirits. Shortly after the arrival of the train, the company pro ceeded to a commodious tent, beautifully fitted up for the occasion, where they sat down to a cold collation. The number of persons who partook of the collation, which was served up in excellent style by Mr. Bacon, proprie tor of the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, could not have been less than from 1,200 to 1,306: Among the noble men and gentlemen present, we observed Lord Sandon, M.P., Sir R. Peel, M.P., Lord Ingestre, M.P., Lord Anson, Hon. Colonel Amon, M.P., Sir C. Douglas, M.P., Sir W. S. Dugdale, M.P., Captain A'Court, M.P., Mr. Hud son, M.P., Captain Carnegie, M.P., Mr. G. C. Legh, M.P., Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P., Sir P. D. Egerton, M.P., Mr. Ricardo, M.P., Mr. George Glyn, Chairman of the London and North- Western Company; Mr. Houldsworth, Chairman of the Manchester and Leeds Company; Mr. Edward Tootal, Chairman of the Trent Valley Company; Mr. Edmund Peel, late Chairman of the Company; Mr. Yates Peel, the Bishop of Lichfield, &c. The following engineers, employed in the construction of the railway, were also present :—T. L. Gooch, Esq., chief engineer, and Messrs. Bartlett, Twining, Berkely, Peacock, Graham and Cowley, resident engineers. Mr. TOOTAL, chairman of the company, presided on the occasion, and was supported by Sir Robert Peel on the right, and by Viscount Ingestre on the left. The company having partaken of the refreshment, The CHAIRMAN rose and proposed the health of her Majesty, which was drank with great applause. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts followed, and were received in the most enthusiastic manner. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said, that the next toast he had to propose was one which he was sure they would all heartily respond to. There were times at which all men felt themselves incapable of doing justice to the subject in hand, and that was one of them. 'He never felt more embarrassed in his life, and although he might put a good face on the matter—(Laughter)—they might believe him that the trial of that day was one of the most severe that he had ever under- gone. He, however, felt extreme gratitude for the support which they had given him. When he first pro- posed to have a formal opening of the Trent Valley line, he never anticipated that he would be surrounded by so much rank, talent, men of science, men of business, and railway directors, as he then saw present. He had in the first instance been anxious that the chair should be taken by the chairman of that great company, the Lon don and North-Western, under whose patronage this line was that day opened, but that Hon. Gentleman, (Mr. Glyn) declined to do so. He was next anxious that their late chairman, Mr. Edmund Peel, should fill the position, but he having also declined, the charge had reverted on him (Mr. Tootal), and he trusted that their kindness would make up for his deficiencies.—(Cheers.) He had to acknowledge a debt of gratitude he owed to the Right Hon. Baronet on his right (Sir R,. Peel) for the manner, when introduced, he waited upon him for the first time at Drayton Manor House to request his support. The Right Hon. Gentleman at once saw him, and listened to his explanations ; and whether is was from the extreme kindness of the Right Hon. Baronet, or from the honesty of the cause he (Mr. Tootal) represented, the Right Hon. Baronet had continued to pay the utmost attention to him whenever he subsequently felt it necessary to call upon the subject. They had had a hard struggle, but i there they were at last —(Cheers.) In 1839 the Bill was first introduced into Parliament, supported with the utmost interest of the Right Hon. Baronet, who continued that support until they were finally success ful. On the 13th of November, in the year before last, the Right Hon. Baronet, while labouring. under a fit of the gout, neglected his important avocations to cut the first sod of their line.—(Cheers.) That was, under the circumstances, considered one the most imprudent things the Right Hon. Baronet had ever done ; but it showed how deeply he had at heart the interests of their line.—(Cheers.) He knew that by going the most direct and shortest route from Rugby, the centre of England, to Glasgow, Liverpool, Manches ter, and other places in the north, they would be effecting a saving alike of time and money to the commercial interests of the country ; but the spot where they were then assembled (Tamworth) might now be almost called the centre of England, with respect to time, the mode in which they now reckoned distance. — (Cheers.) He recollected that on a former occasion Sir R. Peel mentioned that this was the route formerly taken by the Romans to the north, and how correct they were proved by the fact that Telford followed in the same line at the short distance of 2,000 years—(Cheers)—and by the exertions of the directors they had that day opened that line, by which one hour would be saved in the dis tance between London and Liverpool—(Cheers)—the system of miles being now out of fashion ; and when the electric telegraph was completed, as it would be in a short time, they would be enabled to communicate their thoughts to John o'Groat's and back in half the time it now took to write them. At the period of cutting the first sod the Right Hon. Baronet expressed his opinion that they would be enabled to travel, when this line was opened, from London to Manchester in 6k hours. They had, by their arrangements, improved upon that 25 or 30 per cent., and he (the Chairman) expected that they would shortly complete the distance in 4i hours— (Cheers) —although when, in 1839, he talked of doing madman, but it was now proved that he was only a little it in 7i- hours, he was looked upon as a visionary and a before the time.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Baronet, true to the support be had given to the railway through out, had that day, at no little personal sacrifice, honoured them with his company; and without attempting to pass any eulogy on the Right Hon. Baronet, which he was sure would be out of place, he begged to propose the health of Sir Robert Pe e l, nt., M.P., one of the most ardent of our supporters.—(Cheers.) The toast having been drunk with three times three and one cheer more, Sir ROBERT PEEL rose, and spoke nearly as follows : —Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen —It is with much pleasure I rise to respond to the kind manner in which my health has been proposed from the chair, and the equally kind manner in which it has been received.— (Cheers.) There is only one statement made by my Hon. Friend, the Chairman of the day, which I will not confirm—that in which he has informed the meeting that I have made any sacrifice in being present to-day.— (Cheers.) That statement is, I am sorry to say, so at variance with the fact, that I cannot let it pass; for I assure you, that it would have been a great disappoint ment to me if anything had occurred to render my absence necessary from this assembly.—(Cheers.) I will not forget the occasion on which we are met—that h ere men of all p o liti ca l opinions meet upon neut ra l grou nd. I shall not forget that on this day a ll po litical differences ought to be forgotten—and e ven on this day railway animosities ought to be suspended. — (Cheers.) Let the memory of all former grievances be forgotten as to the broad or the narrow gauge, if, un fortunately, they were doomed to be renewed to-morrow. —(Cheers.) We have met this day to celebrate the completion of a great work, which reflects equal credit on the company who undertook it, the contractor who carried it out, and, lastly, I will add the men whose e s h t r large u gl e sinews and industry have brought it t o a successful issue. —(Cheers.) Gentlemen, without ha v i ng any persona l interest in it, I have given to this li ne my best support, because I have always felt that it must b e ultimately completed. might Although in there suspense—andmight be a thlongng g before the Committees of Parliam en t— t h ough the land owners sums might be transferred to the po c k e t s o f those whose genius we honour, while we have no peronal sympathy with their gains—(Laughter)—l felt that the time must come when the Trent Valley line would be completed.— (Cheers.) My Hon. Friend has reminded me, that, on a former occasion, I said that the Romans had pur sued the same road to the north as that of this line. I am obliged to my Hon. Friend for so reminding me, and I am sure it will not abate from the merits of a Stephenson, because, 2,000 years ago, the Romans found it necessary to open up a north-western--a great north western—communication, the termini being London and Chester.—(Cheers and laughter.) That line was opened by a celebrated engineer, who appears to have united in his own person engineer and contractor—being the Ste phenson and the Brassey of his day—Julius Agricola.— (Cheers and laughter.) Gentlemen, when that engineer found it necessary to make a road to Chester, he deter mined to take the the direct line, although the gradients were not itivourAble.—(Cheers.) He used uo tunnels, he made no embankments or cuttings, but he went through the valleys and up the hills.—(Cheers and laughter.) Ms stations were not badly chosen, for leav- Within the last two or three days the following serious losses, involving a frightful sacrifice of life, have been made known at Lloyd's. The first, and certainly most distressing, is that of the wreck of another emigrant ship, with between sixty and seventy persons killed and drowned. The unfortunate vessel was the Miracle, 627 tons burden (Captain Elliott, master), which sailed from the port of Liverpool in the latter part of March last for Quebec. Besides her crew, she bad on board no fewer than 400 emigrants. The particulars received, which are very brief, state that the vessel, in a gale of wind, on the night of the 9th of May, was driven ashore on a reef of rocks off the Magdalen Islands, where, in a few hours, she became a complete wreck. The mo ment she struck her masts fell overboard, and the cap tain of the ship, seeing that the loss of his ship was inevitable, had the boats lowered, and, with his crew, exerted all possible means to preserve the lives of the emigrants, who crowded the decks in the greatest state of excitement. After incessant zeal, the greater bulk of the poor creatures were got ashore safe on the island, but in two instances the boats struck against the rock, and were shattered to atoms; and their living freight, amounting to nearly seventy persons, met with a watery grave. Before the vessel arrived off Magdalen Islands a fever had broken out among the which carried off no fewer than twenty. The names of those who pe rished are not mentioned in the p ar ti cu l ars; t h e survivors are sa i d to have been convey e d t o Pi ctou, where they arrived on the 29th. The vessel had been properly sur veyed before her sailing from Liverpool ; she was a strong- built vessel, and registered at Lloyd's as 627 tons, having been built at St. Johns, New Brunswick, in 1841. It is not known whether she was insured or not. Two English vessels were lost on the same night, sixty miles southward of Magdalen Island. One was from London to Quebec, called the Brothers, the property of Messrs. Brooks and Co., of High-street, Southwark. All hands, it is supposed, were lost. Letters from Suez, dated Bth June, received by the late overland mail, announce the total loss of the barque Welcome, belonging to Greenock, on a coral rock, off the island of Yambo, in the Red Sea. It was attended with melancholy loss of life. The chief mate, an Arab pilot, and also twelve of the seamen were drowned. The accident occurred at ten o'clock on the night of the 14th of April, the vessel being on her home ward passage. No sooner did she strike, than the vessel turned over on her beam-ends, and shortly sunk in seventy fathoms water. The master and remainder of the crew, after being in the water some time, succeeded in getting hold of the long boat, which floated, and gained the village of Yambo on the 16th. The loss of the ship is estimated at 20,000/. Another loss, that of a whaler, off the coast of New Zealand, is also reported at Lloyd's. It is that of the Delphos, 500 tons burden, commanded by Capt. West. On the morning of the 27th December last, in the midst of h violent squall of wind and rain, breakers were discovered a short distance on the lee bow. The order was instantly given to veer ship, th e helm placed hard up, the raison topsail halyards let go, and yards trimmed, and she had already got the wind on her quar ter, and had begun to break the waves, when she touched lightly aft. Her fate was sealed--in a moment more she struck heavily midships, and in five minutes she was shattered in a thousand fragments. By almost a miracle all but six of the crew were saved. When she struck she rolled, bulwarks under, towards the reef. By the returning wave, she rolled outwards with her masts under water, and so remained, when the crew clambered over upon the aide which lay out of water, which offered some protection from the waves. The next sea that struck her stove in her decks, and partially broke up her stern, and the succeeding one detached the side centre on which they were cling ing, and threw it, with the unfortunate sufferers, upon the reef. No land was to be seen, and there was much reason to suppose they were on a simple reef on the wide ocean. The morning light, however, dissi pated their fears, in revealing the land at a distance of four miles, to which they were able to proceed on the reef. It proved to be Palmerston Island near New Zealand. There they remained several days, and were eventually taken off by the American ship Alert. The loss of this vessel, with its contents, is reported to be 'about 10,0001. Father Mathew had an interview with Lord John Russell, on Saturday, at his official residence in Down , ing-street, , ing Wolverton about a mile to the right, he went to Weedon ; from thence, between Hinckley and Nuneaton, to Atherstone, and on to Fazeley, one mile from Tam worth ; from thence he proceeded by Lichfield, on to Chester.—(Cheers.) I take it that if Mr. Stephenson has not taken quite so direct a lino by the Trent Valley, that he has improved on the gradients of Julius Agricola, while it must be admitted that this lino is as good and his stations as well chosen.—(Cheers.) I thought that if, 2,000 years ago, the Romans thought it necessary to have a direct line, when probably their passenger trains only carried a few recruits for the 20th legion, and goods trains were. unknown, I knew enough of Man chester men to know that in the nineteenth century they ' would not long consent to be carried ten miles round, even though they were thereby enabled to exchange com pliments with the men of Birmingham. I may now, on the part of myself and the great body of the landed proprietors of this line, return thanks to the company for the spirit, liberality, and justice, which has distin guished all their transactions.—(Cheers.) I think, also, that I am bound to return - thanks to those who have had the carrying out the works, for the manner in which they have become the protectors of the property through which they have gone, and for the ex amples of steadiness, industry, and obedience to the laws which they have met, and which all similarly engaged ought to imitate.—(Cheers.) Many gentlemen present are probably struck with the contrast which this ancient town presents to its former position—its origin being lost in remote antiquity. Gentlemen, on the east of our town stands a monument to Ethelfrida, the daughter of Alfred the Great ; and on the west we have met to inaugurate a monument of the reign of Queen Victoria.—(Cheers.) That mound was raised by Ethel frida for the purpose of protecting the town from the incursions of Pagan barbarians, who were in the habit laying it waste, while this any wo are met to eele- - brate the completion of a work which presents in itself the triumph of science, of knowledge, of civilization. The period that has passed between the time when Ethelfrida flourished and the reign of Victoria is not less than ten centuries. NATAL INTEL LIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 27.—The Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., hoisted his flag in the Ondine steam-vessel this morning, and proceeded, soon after seven o'clock, on his visit to the Channel Islands. The command of the port now devolves upon Rear- Admiral Hyde Parker, C. 8., superintendent of the dockyard. The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, was placed under the orders of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Na l p t i i e s re r,l: o .C rt . e ß d ., t and h at t c h h e a changed Admiraltyhe ren i s n ig te n nd fr o o r m de w ri h n i g te th to e blue. She wants hands sadly. construction of several line-of-battle ships of 80 guns, with steam power of 700 horse. Mr. J. Newey, master of the metal mills and foundry in this dockyard, has been superannuated on 1251. per annum. Ten of the working men in the same depart ment have also been superannuated, and the remainder have been transferred with the establishment to the new metal mills at Chatham, under the direction of Mr. Jeremiah Owen, formerly of this dockyard. A contract for 850 sacks of dressed biscuit meal was taken at the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, on Thursday, at 565. 6d. and 58s. 6d. per sack of 2801 b., being about ss. less than on the 13th ult. The Orestes, 18, in dock here, is ordered to be fitted as adepOt, to be stationed at Cove. "A thousand years their clouded wings expand." And, gentlemen, we cannot contemplate without ad miration the wonderful contrast presented to us.— (Cheers.) This day we are met to celebrate the com pletion of a work as part of.a system which is probably destined to effect a greater social revolution than any invention since the art of printing was discovered.— (Cheers.) I believe that the effect of railways must be for good, and that they will promote the moral and social welfare and political security of the country.— (Cheers.) Within a few months our bodies will be carried along this railway with the fleetness of the wind, and our thoughts, by the agency of the telegraph, with the fleetness of lightning.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, let us hope that these combined influences will be for our good, by drawing closer family affections, and facilitating the intercourse of life—(Cheers)—while they tend to promote civilization and the advancement of knowledge. —(Cheers.) As regards their political security, I believe that we shall not have cause to regret their construction. In a country like this it is impossible to do more than support a limited army ; and, in the event of war, which may God in his mercy avert, we might be exposed to the most fearful consequences, for it is difficult to say what effect steam navigation may have on maritime warfare. Of this, however, I am sure, that railways would enable us to concentrate our limited forces on any point that might be required ; and I have no doubt, then, that the spirit of Englishmen would enable them to combat successfully against any enemy, even if numerically superior, by being conveyed by this new element of transport without fatigue. Gentlemen, it is only by drawing closer the " great metropolis" of the empire with the great towns, each of which may be said to form a metropolis of their districts, and getting a cheap conveyance, if we are ex posed to the rivalry of other countries, that we shall be enabled successfully to compete with them ; but I have no fear but by the means of railways, and the increased facilities of intercourse, that we shall continue suc• cessfully to compete with them, and add to the prosperity of agriculture and manufactures.—(Cheers.) I also hope that the result of bringing closer the sister country to us will be to increase its prosperity, and unite us in bonds of mutual good feeling, and strengthen in us all the loyalty and affection to our gracious Sovereign, who, if zeal for the interests of her country and examples of domestic virtue constitute claims upon the affections of her subjects, has at least as strong a claim on those affections as any Sovereign that ever sat upon the throne. The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amid loud applause, which lasted some minutes. On its subsiding, Sir R. PEEL again rose, and said—Gentlemen, I am happy in being permitted to give a toast by the Chairman of the meeting. It is a matter of pride and gratification to me that 1 am allowed to propose " Success to the Trent — Valley "'Railway," and with that toast I should wish to associate the names of George Carr Glyn Esq., the chairman ; Charles Lawrence, Esq., the Deputy Chairman ; and the rest of the Directors of the London and North-Western Company. Gentlemen, these names of themselves afford a tower of strength to the railway, and are calculated to afford a guarantee that they will properly carry out the affairs of the company, and that they will attend to the interests of the public with industry, zeal, and integrity.—(Cheers.) The pe culiar feature of railways is, that they unite in their management merchants of the highest station and inte grity, who are influenced not by a desire of pecuniary aggrandisement by means of the direction, but to serve the interests of the shareholders and the public,— (Cheers.) That their motives are not influenced by pe cuniary considerations is proved by the fact that they could easily the better promote them in other pursuits ; and I refer with confidence to the means which are taken since religious subjects have been mentioned, to attend to the wants and interests of those employed such as we do not witness in other employers. I most unfeignedly hope that while the interests of the public are attended to in the way they now are, that Parliament will never consent to interfere with them—(Cheers) —in a vex atious spirit, or under any circumstances adopt regu lations which shall have the effect of driving from the management such men as a Glyn or a Lawrence into other pursuits more profitable to themselves, but by which others would be introduced who could not give to to the public, by their position and well-known integrity, such guarantees for good management and the safety of the passengers. All the advantages supposed to be likely to arise from diminished fares, or the interference of Go vernment, would be entirely neutralised if they tended to throw the management into inferior hands in the place of the gentlemen I have named, who, as I have before said, would more profitably employ their time and money. In conclusion, I beg to propose " Success to the Trent Valley Railway," coupling with it the names of George Carr Glyn, Esq., Charles Lawrence, Esq., and the Directors of the London and North-Western Rail way.—(Loud cheers.) The toast having been drunk with due honours. The Committee of reference on ship building, sitting in this dockyard, having submitted to the Admiralty plans and drawings for the construction of a 90-gun ship,they have been approved of by the Board, and orders were re ceived on Friday for a ship of that class, to be called the Caesar, to be built on the slip on which the Royal Frederick, 110, is now building. The Mediator, American line of packet ship, Captain Stark, arrived at this port yesterday from New York in 16 days, bringing dates to the Bth inst. She landed passengers and a, file of papers and passed on for the river. The Larne, 18, Captain Brisbane, arrived at Spithead this morning, at five o'clock, bringing news from the coast of Africa, to the 18th of Xray.7 . She left As- cension on the sth, and the Banana Islands on the first named date. The Commodore, Sir C. Hotham, K.C.8., in the steam-frigate Penelope, 22, Captain Giffard, and the Actaeon, 26, Captain Mansel, were at Ascension. Two Al courts-martial had been held on board the latter ship, of which her captain was President, to try Lieutenant Alston, late of the Pantaloon, for unbecoming conduct, and Mr. John Wilson, acting purser of the Favorite, for drunkenness. Both officers were adjudged guilty and dismissed from her Majesty's service. The Courts were composed of Captain Mansel, Pre sident ; Captain Hutton of the Tortoise ; Captain Brisbane, of the Larne ; Commander Newton, of the Lily • Commander Murray, of the Favourite •, Com mander Douglas, of the Pantaloon ; and Mr. George Hickman, acting Paymaster and Purser of the Panta loon, acting Judge-Advocate ; neither of the prisoners were defended. The Actmon . was about to sail for St. Helena. The following was the disposition of the squadron at the last dates: — At Ascension—The Penelope (Commodore), Actmon, and Tortoise. At the Bights of Benin (northern division)—The Favourite, 18, Commander Murray (spoken off Sierra Leone, by the Larne) ; the Albatross, 12, Commander Farquhar ; the Wanderer, 16, Commander Montresor ; Rolla, 10, Commander Ellicombe ; the Contest, 12, Commander M‘Murdo ; the Syren, 16, Commander Chaloner ; the Bittern, 16, Commander Hope • the De vastation steam sloop, Commander Crouch ; th e Hound, 10, Commander Wood ; and the Grappler iron steamer, Lieutenant• Commander Lysaught. Congo Division—The Heroine, 6, Commander Ed munds ; the Sealark, 10, Acting-Commander Whyte ; the Waterwitch, 8, Commander Birch ; the Ferret, 8, Commander Sprigg ; the Rapid, 8, Acting-Commander Hill ; the Flying Fish, 12, Commander Dyke ; and the Styx steam sloop, Commander Chads. At Benguela—The Kingfisher, 12, Commander Hor ton. The Prometheus steam-sloop, Commander Hay; the Kingfisher and Ranger were daily expected at As cension. The Pantaloon, 10, Commander Douglas, had sailed on the 3d of May for Bermuda, to join the squadron on the West India station. The Island of Ascension was very healthy, water was not scarce, and there were 500 turtle in the pounds when the Larne left. The French were very sickly at the Prince's Islands. Mr. M'Crae, surgeon of the Actaeon, at the request of the Freneh squadron, went on shore, with permission of Captain Mansel, and administered to the sick, and also supplied them with medicines, they only having an assistant-surgeon of their own to attend upon them. The slave trade was very brisk, nor is it considered possible to repress it until that traffic is treated as piracy. The high priest of the Bonny had been taken prisoner by the Waterwitch for the murder of three British sub jects belonging to a palm oil trader in that river, and at the date of our advices was on board the Tortoise store and guard ship at Ascension, awaiting orders from the Admiralty as to his disposal. Trestles have been effected by Captain Murray of the Favourite, in the river Nunez and Rio Grande, for the suppression of the slave trade. Lieutenant Vesey, and Mr. Spain, master of the He roine; Lieutenant Strangways, of the Favourite; Captain M'Killop, R.M., of the Actaeon, on promotion; Dr. Gil bert King, inspector of hospitals and fleets, ad the late acting purser of the Favourite, dismissed by court-mar tial, have come home in the Larne. Mr. Eversfield, clerk of the Promothens, is appointed acting paymaster and purser of the Favourite, vice Wilson. Lieutenant L. W. Peyton had joined the Favourite from the Penelope. Lieutenant Whyte, senior lieutenant of the Sealark, had been confirmed in the command of that brig by the Commodore, for the very efficient manner in which she was found on inspection, after Commander Gooch had invalided. Lieutenant rowel, formerly in command of the King fisher, has remained out on the coast and joined the Styx as senior lieutenant. The Lame has been employed upon the coast upwards of three years, and has been very healthy, having only lost one surgeon and one man from fever, and invalided two lieutenants and a few seamen. Commodore Sir Charles Hotham had inspected all his divisions, and on visiting the southern subdivision, under Captain Brisbane's command, was pleased to express to that gallant officer in the most gratifying terms his highest approbation of the state of the Larne and the other vessels under his command generally. The Philomel, 6, Commander W. C. Wood, bas not arrived on the station. The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, arrived at Spithead on Saturday afternoon from the above station, bringing dispatches for the Admiralty from the Commodore and numerous invalids. She has been ordered home some time since (upwards of twelve months), in order that sundry courts-martial may be held on her officers. The first trial on the roster is Lieutenant Branch, second lieutenant, whom we are informed has already been under arrest seventeen months. The day she left Sierra Leone the Hound sent in a slave felucca taken • in the Bights, fitted for the traffic, but with no slaves t on board. . Mr. GLYN returned thanks, and briefly alluding to the position in which the London and North-Western and Trent Valley Lines formerly stood to each other, passed a high eulogium on the promoters of the latter company for their perseverance i, bringing the line to a successful issue. The next toast, which was proposed by Colonel Car negie, M.P., was that of " The Mayors and Corpora tions present and represented at the meeting." The Mayor of Manchester returned thanks. " The Members for the counties and boroughs of Staffordshire and Warwickshire," were then proposed by the Chairman, and responded to by the Hon. Colonel Anson. Mr. W. YATES PEEL then proposed " The health of Mr. George Stephenson," whom the Hon. Gentleman warmly eulogised for his distinguished professional at - tainments. Mr. STEMENSON, in returning thanks, characterised the atmospheric system as very good in theory, but as a gross delusion and humbug in practice. With regard to the broad gauge, he had no hesitation in saying that it would have been found ca sa ts e l eqfuo f o rua equally y dh simmepnprg engines impossible ie i b c s l a ae b nitedo receivedwbuo but r fo r iit, the his (Mr. Stephenson's) engines. When the broad gauge was first laid sentdo wnotNw Newcastle w una aid tsilthey of the " Star of the North."—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The Directors of other Railway Companies who were present on the occasion." Mr. HUDSON returned thanks on behalf of himself and his brother directors. He could assure those present that they always had the interests of the public as well as their proprietors in view in all the measures they adopted. He was happy to see that meeting graced by the presence of so many ladies, for whom they (the di. rectors) considered themselves trustees, especially as many of their number had invested their little all in rail ways.—(Cheers.) " The Chairman," " The Engineer," " The Officers of the Company," " The Contractors," and " The Vice- Chairman,' were then successively given and duly acknowledged. Five o'clock, the time for starting, having struck, the company, with the exception of those who reside in the locality, took their seats in the carriages, and the train started amidst the cheers of the assembled specta tors, reaching the Euston-square station at a quarter past ten o'clock. The length of the Trent Valley Railway is about fifty miles, and runs through a singularly rich and beautiful district of country, which is nearly a dead level throughout. In an interesting article in the current number of the Monthly Railway Record, there is a history of the circumstances under which the line originated and has been brought to the successful issue which was this day celebrated at Tamworth. " The company, says that able journal, " which pro ,jected this line, was originally formed in 1838, as the Manchester and Birmingham Extension, its ob ject being to shorten the distance between Man chester and London, by avoiding the circuitous route of Birmingham. The line then proposed was from Stone to Rugby, with a branch uniting the Derby and Birmingham Railway—the total length being a:little better than 62i miles, and the estimated cost 1,045,0001., the saving in distance being twelve miles. In 1839 the Bill was brought into Parliament, and not withstanding a most strenuous opposition on the part of the London and Birmingham Company, was read a socond time by a majority of forty-eight—Sir Robert Peel giving it his support, which he continued until finally successful. The Bill then went into Committee; but its inquiry having been protracted, by opposition, The Grappler also took a prize the same time as the Devastation (an account of which we gave on Saturday) —a fine schooner fitted for slaves, but with none on board—which was also sent into Sierra Leone for adju dication. of f t t h h e e m, a d ax a r t dated the r n d su.

The Monkey steam-vessel returned from Harwich on Thursday, having towed the old Dover packet, the Charon, to that port to be sunk at the mouth of the Barbour to serve as a breakwater. The Triton steam-vessel, of the same class as the Oberon iron steam-vessel, is to be taken down the river from Blackwell to Woolwich to-day, to be fitted for sea. The Riflleman wooden steam-vessel and the Sharp shooter iron steam-vessel, both fitted with screw propel.. lers, are ordered to Portsmouth to be fitted for service on the coast of Africa. The Minx and Teazer s team-vessels, fitted with screw propellers, are ordered to Chatham to be fitted at that port for similar service. A Russian frigate and war steamer, with two other vessels, are expected at the Nore, to embark the Grand Duke Constantine, Lord high Admiral of the Russian navy, on his return to the continent. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty ordered a trial to be made yesterday of a portable smith's forge, submitted by Mr. Haig, the blast of air being caused by a fan-wheel, worked by hand, and dispensing with the use of a bellows. The fire was lighted, and a good weld ing heat produced on a piece of round iron 2i inches in diameter, and 12 inches long, in seventeen minutes. The apparent simplicity, and the great power and utility of the invention, surprised the workmen in the blacksmiths' shop where the trial was made. The forge is very com pact, being only three feet long, by two feet six inches wide, and two feet four inches in height, and gave great satisfaction to the scientific gentlemen present to witness the effects produced by it. Tho fan-wheel is 15 inches in diameter, and revolves with a rapidity of 1,000 turns in one minute. The blast is uniform, and the introduc tion of the invention on board vessels of war and others would be of great advantage, as it is so portable and not liable to get out of order, while it gives a great weldi ng heat in a very limited time, and is capable of heating larger bodies of iron than could be effected with the usual portable bellows forge. Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., commander of the Royal Victoria and Albert steam yacht, the Hon. H. G. Ward, secretary to the Admiralty, and a party of friends, arrived at 9 o'clock A.M., in the Woolwich Company's steam-vessel Dryad, and without landing at the Dockyard, went on board the Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, for a passage down the river to Sheerness. Ships in Harbour—William and Mary yacht, carrying the broad pendant of Commodore Sir Gordon Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., Superintendent of the Dockyard; the Dee steam-troop ship, Master Commander T.

CHA.TEAM, JUNE 26.—The Antelope steam-packet, is dock, fitting for the lonian Isles, is ordered to be paid over with a coat oflinseed oil and red lead, and the port side with a mixture of coal tar, tallow, and arsenic, by way of experiment. Previous to this vessel arriving at this yard it was paid over with a composition not approved of, and on Thursday last several labourers were employed in getting it off. The method adopted was the application of fire in pans, which they applied to the bottom and sides of the ship; and as the vessel is of iron, and cased withinside with wood, the fires over heated the iron and ignited the interior, and the whole of the vessel, particularly the fore part, was densely filled with smoke, which was not discovered until Mr. Scott, a leading man of shipwrights, went round the ship to see that the candles were extinguished previous to the men leaving the yard for dinner. Mr. Scott immediately made the circumstance known to the proper authorities, and the master shipwright and other officers were prompt in their attendance. The engines were soon put into play, and by the exertion of the shipwrights the fire was safely extinguished in half an hour. The damage sustained was made good the following day. The Rochester sailed on the 24th for Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Pembroke yards, with stores; and the Batt arrived from Portsmouth with stores. The Black Eagle steam-yacht, Commander Wood, ar rived this afternoon opposite the Queen's stairs, and dis embarked the Lords of the Admiralty, consisting of Admiral Dundas, Captain W. F. Berkeley, Captain H. Eden, Private Secretary of the First Lord, Lord A. Fitz- , clarence, G.C.H., and other officers, with several ladies. A guard of honour, consisting of the Grenadier corps of infantry, under the command of Captain Moore, of the dockyard battalion, saluted their Lordships on landing. Their Lordships proceeded in front of the C a pt a i n - Superintendent s residence and inspected the battalion, drawn up in line, consisting of 15 companies —viz., 4 of artillery, 8 infantry, and 3 boat brigade, under Lieute nant-Colonel barley, Master Attendant.

In addition to the pension of 1001. a year, so gra ciously conferred by the Queen from the Civil List upon the children of the late lamented Thomas Hood, her Majesty has granted a pension of 2001. per artnum for his life, to Mr. Leigh Hunt, from the same fund, in con sideration of his many brilliant contributions to English literature. The decision of her Majesty has been no tified to the veteran writer by Lord J. Russell in terms of kindness and cordiality, and will be appreciated by the republic of letters, to whom Mr. Leigh Hunt's ser vices and sufferings are so well known. The public is already aware that the amount of annuities from this fund for literary, scientific, and public services is limited to the grant of 1,2001. in each year, on the responsibility of the first Minister of the Crown, the returns of which are to be regularly laid before Parliament. The appro priation commences on the 20th of June. In the amount already granted, we feel assured that the public voice will recognise the taste and the consideration which have in, fluenced the selection.—Observer. Harriet Martineau has returned from her travels in the East ; she arrived on a visit to her relatives, Mrs. and Miss Martineau, at Beacondale, Norwich, on Tues day last. We understand she made daily copious notes, which it is her intention of publishing. She was absent above eight months. The work will be looked for with much interest. The Hon. Wm. Temple, her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador at Naples, has arrived in London on leave from the Queen, after an uninterrupted absence of eight years in discharge of his diplomatic duties at the Court of the Two Sicilies. Her Majesty has conferred upon that pious and good man, the Rev.
