EXTRAORDINARY SUlClDE.—Yesterday an inquest was held at the Trinity Arms Tavern, Trinity-square, Southwark, before. Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr. Charles Butterworth, a young man twenty years of age, son of a boot and shoe manufacturer in the Dover-road. It appeared that the deceased had been for some time past labouring under nervous debility. On Wednesday evening he returned to his lodgings, No. 10 . Trinity street, and soon after the servant heard the report of firearms, and s oon a ft e r a second report. and becoming alarmed, she went to his room, and found him lying on the floor, weltering In blood. Mr. Boast, a medical gen tleman, was promptly in attendance, but found that death must have been almost instantaneous. Urn an examination it was evident that the deceased had first discharged a loaded pistol from each of h s hands, at his temples, and finding that the balls had glanced - off, he reloaded the pi s t o l s , an d di sc h arge d t h em at t h e b ac k o f his head. In the second attempt one of the balls entered the skull, and the other lodged in the ceiling. He must then have taken a razor, with which he cut his throat from ear to ear. Th e co roner remarked, th,t in all his exoerience he did not recoll ec t a more d eterm i ne d act o f self-destruction, and the jury returned a verdict of tem porary insanity.

FATAL FIGHT BETWEEN Tw o BOYS IN POPLAR. — Yesterday a long investigation was instituted before Mr. W. Baker, at the Old Commodore public house, High street, Poplar, respecting the death of a boy, named John May Harries, aged eight years, the son of a rigger, residing at No. 3, Collings. place, Poplar, who died, on Thursday morning last, from injuries be had received in a fight with a boy named Robert Auty, about the same age, under the following very extraordinary circum stancest—A man, named William Newson, was charged before Mr. Yardley, the magistrate, at the Thames Police Court, on Thursday last, with having caused the death of the deceased, and after hearing evidence the magistrate remanded him on bail until Monday next. It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased belonged to Poplar charity school, and on Wednesday last, being half-holiday, deceased, and a number of boys belonging to the school, went to Abbot's-fields, in Poplar. Auty and several others undressed themselves and bathed in the New Cut of the River Lea. They remained in the water about a quarter of an hour, and then com menced running: after each other about the fields. Auty dropped his jacket, and Newson, who had been sitting on the grass, with three other men, rose, and picked it up. He then gave it to the men, and said, " If Auty wished to have his jacket, he must fight one of the boys for it." Auty complied with his request, and selected out the deceased for the pur pose. The deceased said he did not wish to fight, and Auty instantly struck him. They then commenced fighting, and the men encouraged them on, promising beer to the victor. The deceased was struck down several times by Auty, and his nose bled profusely. The men then sent for a gallon of beer, and gave the de ceased some out of a pewter mug. The men then ap pointed two other boys as seconds, and they commenced fighting again. They fought nearly an :hour, wh en Auty was declared the victor. The deceased appeared very exhausted, and the men, not satisfied with their cruel treatment, made them run a race for some more beer. The deceased could scarcely stand, and was unable to contend with Auty. Newson then gave the deceased some more beer, and be was carried borne by two boys. He shortly af terwards became inse nsible, and expired the following mo rnin g . Mr. Bai n , a sur geon, said he had made a post mortem examination, and attributed death to congestion of the brain. He had no doubt the excitement and the quantity of beer adminis tered had produced death. The jury expressed great surprise that the men should have been guilty of such gross inhumanity, and said they were all guilty of man slaughter. The inquiry was then adjourned for several days, for the purpose of having tha other three men taken into custedy. COURTS MARTIAL AT CHATBAIV.—AuGusT The sen:ences of two general courts-martial, holden in ri s o Firstn r s a w s s a e a m p b r l i e r d a , this garrison, were promulgated this day, in the pre senceparad parade of g ground troops and nd t the teOnThe miss Pepper, of the 89th Regiment, who was tried for deserting from the head quarters at Dover, and m a ki ng away with his regimental necessaries, and sentenced to imprisonment of twelve months, six portions amounting barracks. he p to three months to be solitary ; the imprisonment other than solitary to be with hard labour, and to be put under stoppages until the articles de fi cient be made good, and t o be marked with the letter D.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE HIGHLANDS. INVERARY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. After the gorgeous illumination in Rothesay Bay last night we hardly anticipated seeing any display calculated to eclipse it in her Majesty's progress through the Western Highlands. But we must say that the natural scenery of Inverary, blending in exquisite proportions the softest features of the beau tiful with the most majestic of the snbline, excited even stronger feelings of admiration. A charming voyage up Loch Fine brought us alongside the Shear water, already moored in the dark waters of the loch, amidst a tiny fleet of fishing craft neatly and newly painted alike, and bearing each a little pink ensign at the gaff. The trim little pleasure yacht of the Mar quis of Stafford, all fluttering with flags, lay off the quay; and deep down on the verge of the undulating valley stood the noble castle of Inverary. In the foreground of the landscape the fine span of the bridge, and beyond it a battery of field-pieces, greatly enhanced the effect. Near it were pitched ten handsome marquees, the quarters of the clan Camp bell, and in their centre a booth, the external covering of which was composed entirely of tartans. To the south of this, from the Duke's entrance gate, along the front street of the town to the quay, the mustering of the Islay clan was proceeding. On landing at the steps we found a superb arcade erected along the quay for the convenience of her Majesty in reaching the royal carriages for the drive to the castle. Be yond this, the entire way to the Duke's gate, the Islay clansmen formed a living avenue, clad in their dark tartans, with broad red facings and all the High land accoutrements, including the formidable Locha ber axe. A body of the Duke's men, clad entirely in their own tartans, without the red facings, also kept a portion of the ground. The Highland guard, in cluding the Celtic gentlemen, the clansmen of Islay, and the tenantry of the Duke of Argyle, mustered from 300 to 500 strong. A handsome arch of ever greens was also sprung across the street. His Grace the Duke of Argyle, in his Highland costume as Mac-Caillum- Afore, moved from post to post, and with Campbell of Islay, directed the placing o e e f h p e Celtic a ni e d his guard Grace of h in his movements. Lo . rd Theßlantyre young c e a a ng - Marquis of Stafford, backed by several of his crew, also passed down the line previous to h e r Majesty's arrival. Campbell of Islay commanded the Celts; his lieutenants being Campbell of Lochawe, and Fletcher of Dunans. The Islay men were commanded by Campbell, younger, of Islay, and Campbell of Glendaruel. The Duchess of Sutherland, accompanied by her three daughters, the Duchess of Argyle, Lady Blantyre, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, with the Duke of Argyle and Lord Blantyre, drove down to the quay at half-past eleven A.M., anticipating the arrival of the royal party, but immediately drove away on finding them not in sight. Meanwhile the Celts, in splendid costume, were posted as a guard of honour, under Campbell of Argyle, along the arcade. The effect was truly magnificent. A gun from the castle lawn gave token of the Fairy being in sight, and she rounded Strone Point at twelve o'clock precisely, and moored inside the Shearwater, closely followed by the Garland, amidst the shouts of a Highland welcome, and the cannonade from the castle, the bands playing " God save the Queen." The royal standard was lowered on board the Fairy, and the Queen almost instantly descended and was rowed ashore. Her Majesty leaning on the arm of the Duke of Argyle, and followed by Prince Albert, with the Duchess of Norfolk, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Argyle, Lady Blantyre, Lady C. Leveson Gower, the Prince of Saxe Leinin gen, Duke of Norfolk, Earl Grey, the Marquis of Stafford, Lord Blantyre, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarenee, &c., walked along the arcade, smiling and bowing most graciously on either side as she passed— the Celts giving the salute, and the ladies and gentlemen along her path making respectful obei sance to her Majesty, while cheering loud and long was given by the crowds without. The attendance of people at Inverary was not numerous—probably not so numerous as it would have been, had the Queen arrived, according to expectation, the preceding day. But her Majesty must have had reason to be delighted with her sail and reception. She had passed in the nimble little F4irigirough the charming scenery of the Kyles of Bute, and emerged amidst the grander scenery of Loth Fine, shone on by a suntf gloridus brilliancy, and smiled upon by shores that seemed to revel in summer holiday. The Queen looked ex tremely well. Her Majesty was dressed in a blue and white striped silk dress, with broad fringes of mixed blue and white ; a black damask silk visite, with a deep flounce, bracelets, and primrose coloured gloves. She wore a white chip bonnet, trimmed with straw-coloured crape and white marabout feathers, with a dark green p green arae e v i e . lvet flowers inside ; and she car ried The royal party having taken their seats in the infcoalerlnno',wa through hn e rg s 0 , ua t gd h dh e r M Ee s as e er m sl b e Gi n Grey ethy f e oL na t m he e o c f ou th n e ty co p u re n s t e y nt g ed he ent t le.

" Signed in name, and by authority of the mag istrates and town council, by happine s s , he her Majesty, a n d t heis our at tachment " JAMES WRIGHT, Provost." ----- The Provost also presented the freedom of the lough to Prince Albert, through Earl Grey. The 11.1urgess ticket was enclosed in a massive and elegantly chased silver box, bearing the following inscription : "This box contains the freedom of the Royal Burgh of lnverary, presented to his Royal Highness Field hilarshal Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, on landing with her Majesty Queen Victoria, at Inverary, Aug. 1847." The royal party were then escorted by the Celts Ind clansmen to the entrance gate of Inverary Castle, • where the carriages and escorts took separate roads to afford the Queen an opportunity of having a drive through the Duke's magnificent grounds. The escort raarched to the principal front of the Castle, attended )y a concourse of people , where they formed in square fp!! her Majesty's reception ; and after some time the Celtic gentlemen stepped out into two files, and a M vanced to meet the royal party, their place in the squ are o f armed Hi blenders being _taken by the t enan t ry of Argyle. g At one o'clock the carriages containing the royal party drove up to the front of In verary Castl escorted by the Celti c b o d y, and preceded by their pi a 'pers ih , five in numb er . Th e guard of honour having formed in s quare , li ned the entire front of the crowd, presenting to the eye the appearance of an assem blage entirely dressed in the garb of Old Gaul. Her Majesty and the Prince alighted, and were cordially welcomed by their Highland hosts, the Duke and Duchess of Argyle. After the reception of the Queen by the Duke and Duchess, a beautiful incl. dent occurred. The first object that seemed to catch her Majesty's eye, as she ascended the stepe, was the little Marquis of Lorne--a graceful child ofabout three years of age, clothed in the most accurate Highland costume. Her Majesty stooped down and took the little fellow by the hand, lifted him up, and kissed him. Her Majesty then continued for more than a minute bowing graciously to the assemblage on the esplanade. Previous to retiring from the platform of the castle steps the Queen issued her command that the Prince of Wales should be brought up; and Prince Albert came forward and conversed with Campbell of Islay and the other gentlemen present, and directed that the same carriage should be sent as had conveyed her Majesty. In a very short time the royal carriage and escort returned with the Prince of \Vales and Princess Royal, accompanied by Lady Lyttelton and Sir James Clarke, and drew up at the castle front, amidst hearty plaudits. The Prince of Wales was very plainly but neatly dressed in nursery cos tume, as if the sending for him had not been preme dilated. He lifted his little cap to the assemblage in acknowledgment of their cheers, but looked soft and delicate. The Princess Royal wore a pea-green silk Polka, a purple or brown dress trimmed with fringe, and a straw bonnet. Luncheon was served within the Castle at two P.M. for the royal party—the Duke of Arglye had the honour of handing her Majesty from the dining-room to the drawing•room on this occasion. The imme diate kinsmen of the Argyle family, including Islay, Glendaruel, Inverawe, Curadale, Southhall, &c., all of the name and lineage of Campbell, were selected from amongst the gentlemen of the Celtic body to guard her Majesty at luncheon, and had the honour of being presented to the Queen. Nothing in the shape of accident occurred, so far as we are aware, on this occasion, except the unfor tunate fall of two gentlemen of the Celts down some steps leading from the quay, whilst the Prince of \Vales was entering the carriage. The tide was not full at the time, and one of the gentlemen sustained a severe injury of the jaw, by striking against the top step of the stair. The other escaped unhurt, and f made what speed he could to the Castle, calling for Sir James Clarke; but a resident surgeon, present with a masonic body, went instead, and prevented the alarm being communicated to her Majesty. At three P.M. the royal standard was lowered in Inverary Castle; and the re-embarkation of her Alajesty, guarded and escorted by the Celts and Highlanders, immediately took place. The Fairy, followed by the Garland, steamed down the Loch, and stood away for Ardrishaig. CRINAN, The Queen, along with Pri nce Alb er t, th e P r i nce of Wales, the Princess, and that portion of their suite who had accompanied them on their visit to Inverary, reached Ardrishaig at half-past four o'clock. The royal yacht, the Undine, and other vessels of the fleet, had been previously sent round the Mull of Cantvre, and came into Loch Crinan at nearly the same hour when the Fairy came up to Ardrishaig. At the lat ter place the Queen was received by the authorities of the neighbourhood, Sir John Orde, of Kilmorey, and some other gentlemen. The concourse of people at the secluded village which . the Queen had now reached was immense. Her Majestzwas received with perhaps even a deeper enthusiasm not'probalily so noisy, but not less respectful, and clearly more Celtic than where many thousands were met to cheer her progress northward. From the quay the Queen and suite were accommodated in the carriages of soma of the county gentlemen to a road specially . constructed for the occasion, which probably will b e ca ll e d the -Queen. Road4hencefor ward, and which leads betweenit double row of trees, off the ordinary road passing in front of the hotel, upward to the canal bank, where the royal barge was in waiting. The centre of the quay and the centre of the new road were carpeted—the latter very taste fully. At the canal bank the Queen and her party passed under a very beautiful and tasteful arch of flowers, topped by the national heather, a nicely formed crown, and V. R. in flowers. At the canal bank the Queen was received by Mr. George Burns and Mr. James Burns, of Glasgow, along with Mr. Hutcheson, who had gone to Osborne-house to assist in forming the arrangements for the journey, as re presentatives of the Steam-packet Company, and of the Canal Company, in connexion with Messrs. Thompson and M'Connell. Mr. George Burns had the honour of escorting her Majesty to the royal barge, which was fitted up in Glasgow, under the direction of those gentlemen, for the Crinan Canal passage. The barge was drawn by four horses, ridden by two young jockeys in red livery —two boys we believe in the service of the Canal Company. The barge, surmounted by a magnificent crown and sceptre, with its crimson-covered cushions, and all the appearance of regal state, decorated by six or eight silk flags, formed an object of great admiration to the people who lined the banks, and who expressed their gratification in enthusiastic Gaelic. The Queen and her suite were greatly pleased with this part of the journey, and with the very excellent arrangements made for them by the Steam-packet and Canal Com panies. The Queen and Prince Albert, we under stand, were much interested in the locks of the canal, and the manner of passing through them. A great concourse of people were assembled at Crinan, where the canal falls into the loch, in order to witness the landing from the barge and the em barkation on the royal yacht, which was lying on the calm water of the land-locked Loch Crinan. The crags around the landing place are very romantic. The situation, indeed, is altogether unique in its features. The broad and calm loch, with its islands, is belted round by a multitude of mountains, so numerous, that like the Cheviot-hills, one never thinks of counting them. The hills immediately over the landing place are laid out artificially, but still look as if they had been laid out in narrow ridges or terraces, and the grey crags are prettily relieved by patches of green grass, and bushes of red heather; while between the hills there are small fields of oats. and some few neatly whitewashed country houses. Every little ledge forms a platform ; and they were fully occupied, for far up white caps appeared on the hills, and groups of three or four persons whiled away the afternoon talking in their native Gaelic of the wonderful phenomenon—the Queen come to the western lochs and lakes and islands. At half past seven o'clock the barge appeared, and the enthusiasm of the spectators was manifested in the heartiest way possible, clearly to the great delight of the royal party. Here, again, a very magnificent arch of flowers had been erected, and the won der was where all the flowers were brought from. The Queen and her party had to walk a considerable distance from the canal to the quay, where two barges, manned from the yacht, which lay out in the loch, were waiting for them. They were received on landing by Mr. Sheriff Bruce, of Argyleshire ; Sir John Orde, of Kilmorey ; Campbell, sen . o f Jura; Campbell, o f I nverne il ; Campbell, n. darroch; Sir W. Heathcote, Bart., 1 Shirley, fr"le ; 7th3 Park, Hertfordshire • Lieutenant-Colonel el Oban ; and Hus sars, and his ?tidy ; Provost Stevenson, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm, o said more especially to h ave Poltalloch, o who may be a ve we rec u e n iv d e e d rst h a e n r d, M f a o j r e m st e y d Majesty, since the Crinan Canal is a l mos t exclusively, if, not , entirely , of Poltalloch pro perty ; and the temporary alterations made at the landing place were done at Mr. Mai co m s expense. The road from the canal to the quay is a consider able distance, and a pathway be t ween rows of heath, covered with Mr. Malcolm's tartan, was constructed in the centre. The arch of flowers which we h ave already mentioned bore the motto, " Tearna Diu a Bhan high." At Crinan the Queen seemed to be exceedingly gratified with her novel journey over the mountains, the respectful reception that she met, and the atten tion shown by all classes. Lord Adolphus Fitzela rence, on the part of her Majesty, expressed repeatedly her approval of the manner in which the arrange ments for this portion of her journey had been planned and executed, and at its close Earl Grey communicated to Mr. George Burns her satisfaction and that of the Prince with the attention shown, and the measures taken to secure their comfort on the route. As the barge was rowed to the yacht, the sun was setting behind the hill of Jura, and thus allowed the royal party to see one of those magnificent colourings of the landscape which last but only for a few minutes, when his beams are falling almost level on the still waters of a land-locked western loch. After sunset, the fleet of steamers never begin journeys, but anchor f o r th e n i g ht. In this instance they an chored in Crinan. The town of Oban had made great preparation for their reception, and was de- RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. READING, GUILDFORD, AND REIGATE. It is rather a bold undertaking in these iron times for a railway company absolutely to commence operations and send some thousands of "navvies"—who must be paid their wages when and how they want them—delving into the bosom of mother earth ; but perhaps it required less courage for the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Company to do so, with a large amuunt of their capital paid up, a short line and great traffic before them, than for others to whom we shall not more particularly allude at this moment. In obedience to the invitation of the company a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen were collected at Reigate yesterday to witness the ope iration of turning the first sod of the intended line, and afterwards to partake of a dejeune in the grounds of Sir B. Brodie, Bart., who had given the use of a plot of ground for the occasion. Up to two o'clock each train number of passengers int en t on making the most of a fine ay and a free invitation • and shortly after that hour." a t roupe of goodlie' com p anie " set out from the pleasant little t own of Rei gate—th e 0 a f lb e cc h a / r o i n o g t a s w of in s d o i m ng e future railway Rome—in all sorts through the pleasant green lanes , more • all arr ive d than d easy to travel, to Brome-park, where th P e ic a t nd aLr il i e ve . in safety, despite stiff springs, rough roads?. drivers. Then they all assembled in the midst of a stu n b o br field—fresh from the sickle —from the shelter of whose e rough beard the young partridge, scared by the tramp of many footsteps, and the clanging of trumpet and bugle ran fitfully into the hedge rows. A sturdy band of " navvies," waving fl6gs with various appropriate inscrip tions, cheered with the most wonderful perseverance and power of lungs, as each carriage arrived, until the pro cession was formed, and marched in order to an adja cent field, where the first sod of the line was to be cut. On the spot there was a mahogany wheelbarrow, that seemed a first cousin to the famous vehicle of the Trent Valley, bound in brass and ornamented with many volutes and winding patterns. Then Mr. D. Salomons, the chairman, advanced, and taking up the spade (which was composed, excepting the shaft, of silver), delivered !an appropriate and well-received address on the uses of the railway in which he was about to take the initia tive. It would by its junction at Reading connect the west and south-west with the south and south-east at Reigate, and form a most important link in the great system of railway communication; so that the passenger from Oxford on the north and from Bristol on the west could proceed at once to Dover without being compelled to pass through the metropolis. Rail ways were not to be judged by their length, and though this was but forty miles long, it promised to effect mire good than many of far greater extt nt. After imme further pertinent remarks, the Chairman pro ceeded to shovel up the loose earth in a style which led some of the surrounding navvies to exclaim, that " he might be a very good one for speakin', but wasn't much a hand at diggin'." Several ladies, among them Mrs. Salomons, repeated the operation, and Mr. Macgregor having overturned the barrow in wheeling the earth away, the whole party made a rapid march in the di rection of the tent, which was pitched in a pretty spot, close to a fine row of trees. The Chairman presided at the dejeune, and among the company were Lord Somers, Mr. Denison, M.P., Mr. Alcock, M.P., Capt. Mangles, M.P., Mr. Macregor, &c. Mr. Bayley, the secretary, did his utmost to render every one comfortable, and the whole of the management was excellent. Nothing was wanting, not even a toastmaster, and ever rural deli cacy was produced in abundance (including, unfortu nately, wasps and spiders, which seemed determined to assert their rights, in the ease of an alfresco entertain-, went). The usual toasts having been proposed and re sponded to, some good speeches were delivered by Cap tain Mangles, Mr. Macgregor, and Mr. Denison, and the company at last broke up with hearty cheers for the success of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Rail. way Company. It is expected that the line will be open in a twelvemonth. EASTERN UNION. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting was held at Mr. J. C. Cc -Amu), M.P., took the chair, and con gratulated the proprietors on their having passed through another half-year without a solitary accident ; indeed, since the first opening of their line not a single casualty had occurred. The accounts showed their working ex penses to be large, but they were no criterion of what they would be ultimately when other lines came into operation. In the autumn they would open another stage of the Norwich line, four miles beyond Hawley. The Eastern Union was only 17 miles long, the Ips wich and Bury 27; but the former had contributed more than half the receipts, owing probably to its traffic, which had increased 50 per cent. in twelve months, being more fully developed. The directors anticipated the greatest advantages to be derived from the conjuction of the Harwich line, as did the public in the east and south of England, and its great importance justified them in taking a resolution to construct it at the earliest pos sible period. Mr. J. SAUNDERS, the secretary, then read the report, which stated that the receipts of the two lines were in troduced in one sum, viz., for the half-year, 26,374L— the Eastern Union of seventeen miles having contri buted more than one-half of the whole line of forty-four miles. The interest to shareholders has been paid in the terms, es far as they could be carried out, of the agreement both companies entered into for the amalgamation. Two Acts of the last session had autho rised them to continue their line from Manningtree to Harwich, and to purchase a line made by another com pany from Bentley to Ardleigh. The importance of the Harwich line as a national work rendered it important that it should be proceeded with immediately. The directors now recommend that the sum of 300,0001. be raised by subscription among the shareholders, and by this means the directors would have sufficient funds to construct the important branch to Harwich, and the new source of revenue arising from it all over the main line would counterbalance entirely any guaranteed prefer ence in the stock. The general account of rec( ipts and expenditure showed a total outlay to June 30. 1847, of 397,546/., leaving a balance in hand of 2,5931." At a special meeting of tl.e Hadleigh Junction, the sale of it to the Eastern Union was confirmed, and a re solution was proposed by Mr. Johnson for the appoint ment of a committee to consider the discontinuance of Sunday trains, but it was postponed to that day twelve months. A special train, with the Chairman, Major Beresford, M.P., Mr. Rowland Hill, Messrs. Crowley, Ransome, May, and several of the shareholders, then started to open the Hadleigh line, about seven miles long accom modating the purely agricultural district of Had leigh, with its 5,000 inhabitants, who celebrated the event by a holiday and the usual demonstrations. s (nborytat packet-boat of one halfpenny each.

He was conveyed to the Carse, and, on being brought to consciousness, his agony must have beets extreme. After the tide had ebbed the bodies were dis covered.
