THE SUN, RAILWAY INTE LIGENCE. TURNING THE FIRST TIRIRDFm.OOFRTpIEITEHN.ORTH WESTERN LOThursday, at Cleatop, two This event took miles from Settle! )lace h T d e ed to connect the manufacturing onNorth-Western Railway has two objects. It is inert Riding of Yorkshire by a near districts of the the west of Scotland, and also to route with GlasgoWw ad afford to those distrincuttshae Bible shippin e w o e m s t modi coast, at the n e i t l r y a n a c c e ce o s Morecambe g ß p a o y r . t ° The length of the line is sixty-one It commences at m iles, including bothitsbranches. S ki p ton, at the termination of the Bradford Extension Railway, and proceeds by Gargrave, Settle, Ingleton, to 'Kirkby Lonsdale. Its course is thence by the east of the L u ne to Sedbergh, and thence towards Borrow-bridge, at a short distance from which place it crosses the Lune by a large viaduct , and ,joins the Lancaster and Carlisle line. At a point near Wennington, a branch diverges through Wray, Hornby, and Caton, to I ancaster, which is expected to become the great shipp A ine, port ' for the West Riding. With the North-Western Railway an amalgamation has been effected, by Act of Parliament, w ith the Morecambe Bay Harbour and Railway Com pany.Th _ The difficulties of the navigation of the Lune, it is well known, led to the construction of the dock at Glasson many years ago; but commodious as that dock is, access to it is found very difficult at certain times, and great delay, as well as danger, are often in curred. It is proposed to make a dock at Poulton Ring, at the embouchure of the bay, which Government Commission ers havepronounced to be the most favourable place for a harbour to be found, perhaps, on the English coast, and a railway of four miles in extent will communicate with the North-lVestern at Lancaster. The inhabitants of the West Riding will thus be put in possession, not only of railway facilities between the different parts of this kingdom, but the means of export to foreign countries will, be afforded superior to any which they now enjoy. A glance at the map will show at once that t he North- Western is a very well chosen line, and in additionto the advantages it offers as a part of a trunk line, it gives to a large and important district , to the g razin g district of Craven in particular, the pri vile g e of a railway, from which it has hitherto been quite shut .,ller out. ) Thursday last (says the Kendal . fixed upon for the commencement of tclLiy was the day works, and as Lord Morpeth had el consented to act on the occasion, excited. great interest was Half-past twelve o'clock was the hoar named, and on cur arrival at Settle, about that t i me , we found the little town in a stir unequalled, we a pprehend, on any previous ho omcceans, extending almost fromion whatever. A long length of carriages and horsemen, one extremetity of it to the other, and headed by banners and a band of music, betokened that some event was a bout to take place of extraordi n a r y and absorbing interest. The procession shortly began to move in slow array, Lord Nlorpeth being in the first carriage, accompanied by his host, Mr. Brkbeck, and other gentlemen. Among the private carriages we observed those of Pudsey Daw - son, Esq , Hornby, ex-High Sheriff ; Henry Alcock, Esq., Airville, near Skipton ; Charles i lngleby, Esq., Austwick ; Robert Ingleby, Ecq , Lawk and Green ; G. Hartley, Esq., Settle, &c. There were sixteen car riages, besides humbler vehicles, and horsemen and pedestrians beyond count. The cavalcade moved slowly on, amid. the occasional cheers of a large body of "navvies," who formed a conspi cuous part of the procession, to the scene of action, a field belonging to the Rev. J. Swales. A large booth had been erected on the field, which was filled with ladies, and those who composed the procession formed in circle on the ground, either in their carriages or on foot as they chose. The scene was at this moment truly imposing, A spot could not have been selected more happily adapted for the purpose. The beautiful pano rama which the hills presented gave a native charm to the scene, and an assemblage of between 2,000 and 3,000 anxious and happy spectators imparted an air of animation which no one who witnessed it will forget. The arrangements being duly made, which was a matter of no small difficulty with so vast a concourse, though they were managed with a skilfulness that was most creditable to those who had the conducting of the ceremonial, Mr. Vignoles, the engineer-in-chief, came forward and presented to Mr. Dawson the silver spade— a most elegant implement, inscribed with the arms of the company, as well as with the record of the date of the auspicious event, in honour of which it was manu factured. Mr. Dawson then handed it to Lord Morpeth, with a suitable address, and as soon as that nobleman had received it, the Vicar of Giggleswick, the Rev. R. Ingram, stepped forward, at the request of the chairman, and invoked in the most solemn and appropriate strain, the blessing and help of the Almighty on the great work they were about t o commence. Hi s Lordship en doffed his coat, in the true navvy style, and pulled out of his breast a veritable worsted navvy's cap, which he put upon his hea4 amid the most vociferous plaudits of the assemblage, the n avv i es ;th emse l ves , w h o stoo d ar o u nd with their implements, being apparently the most inte rested spectators in the scene, and addressed himself to his work. His Lordship, it must be confessed, did not seem much used to dig, and the efforts that he made to cut the stubborn soil, provoked the loudest peals of laughter. His Lordship enjoyed the fun as much as the merriest of those who watched him in his un wonted labour ; and after a short time the mahogany wheelbarrow, a most beautifully designed and well made little vehicle, was filled, and wheeled along the narrow planks to the end of them, where it was " tipped.' His Lordship resumed his proper habili ment, amid greetings more hearty than we almost ever remember before Where heard, arid then proceeded to address the company. Lord MORPETU said—l am afraid the Craven sods have been a little too hard, from the recent frost, for me to acquit myself like an experienced navvy. Nevertheless I trust that this may be an auspicious beginning of that great andertaking to celebrate which we have met here to - day.—(Cheers,) It is a work which belongs to the energy and enterprise of the times in which we live. Formerly it was thought a very great thing that rail ways were made to connect the largest towns in the country. It was thought a great thing when a railway was made between Liverpool and Manchester. Next people proposed the uniting of the capital itself with other great towns, such as Birmingham and Bristol. As people's enterprise crept on, it began to be thought an easy matter to conduct a railway along levels and by the side of rivers. But we, gentlemen, under the skill and enterprise of our able engineer, Mr. Vignoles, are able to accomplish still greater feats than these. We mean to carry our railway fearlessly along the upland pastures of Craven. We do not wean to creep sluggishly by the side of every river, but boldly to cross them transversely, and drive our line over the Aire, the Ribble, and the Lune.—(Cheers.) We are not afraid o f d r i v i ng our line under the giant shadow of Ingleborough itself.—(Great cheering.) Enterprise de serves success, and I have no doubt that the success we deserve will crown the enterprise of the North-Western Railway Company. It seems, indeed, that since our undertaking was set on foot, another railway of great pretensions has talesn that same name.—(Laughter.) So happy did they deem the name of the North-Westerns that by that name they have christened the long line of railway which stretches from London to Lancaster. Well, as they have usurped our name, I think they ought at least to guarantee us their dividend.—(Cheers and laughter.) However, I believe we shall want no dividends but our own, for it seems to me that the cir cumstances and features of this railway are all of the most promising character. lam told that there is a po pulation amounting to t wo or t h ree m i llions in the centre counties of England to whom this railway will be a saving, if they wish to get to the great town of Glasgow and the western districts of Scotland, of 25 miles.— (Hear.) lam told likewise that from London itself to Glasgow this railway will afford a saving of 12 miles. It gives me therefore satisfaction to think this, our own true and genuine North-Western—(Hear)—will give all the vast manufacturing population of that West Riding of Yorkshire, in which I feel so closely and grate fully interested, a ready and convenient access at all times to the district of the lakes and all the romantic scenery of that part of England.—(Cheers.) ,Most glad shall I be if those hard-working toil-worn men who are obliged to labour for their bread through a great part of the year in the smoky streets and close alleys of our large manufacturing towns, shall be wafted along this line through your pleasant fields and sunny slopes ; that they may enjoy that scenery which is calculated to open the minds of all to the beauties of nature, and rub off the sweat and dust of their daily toil by the glossy margin of LTilswater, or recruit their wasted health by a good climb up the rugged steeps of Skiddaw.—(Ap. pcause.) Allow me only to say, in conclusion, that I hope these works, which are now begun, during their con etruction, and afterwards during the development of the resources of the line, will conduce largely, not only to the comfort and enjoyment of that vast body of popula tion whom it is intended to accommodate, but that they will lead to the ultimate good of all engaged upon them —(Hear, hear)—that the fruits of their toil will not be wasted in idle squandering or drunken revelry, but serve to swell the independen t g ains of honest industry—that the beginning, the progress, a W and the end of the North- Western Railway works may be a credit to the district and an advantage to all who labour on it and travel by it, and a ll b o enabled to look back with satisfactionravingi and gratitud e t o th e wor k of this day.—x ( Cheers) said this, I wilhnow detain you no longe r, but p roceed to empty the first sod, wishing from my heart a g ood conclusio n to the works of the North-Western Rail way.—(Great cheering.) The Chairman, Mr. Dawson, then kook the spade in hand, and he certainly showed himself much more an adept at the work of an excavator than his Lordship. Mr. Vignoles. the engineer, who, by the way, was arrayed in appropriate costume of a railway labourer ; Mr. Sharp, the solicitor of the c ompany ; Mr. Ilirkbeck, of Settle, one of the directors, and several other gentlemen followed ; and it was amusing to observ e the inter, at with which their performances were not i ce d b y the 1; standers—the awkwardness so natur a ll y manifested affording food for much mirth to the navvies in particular. The ceremony over, a barrel of ale was broached, an d Lord Morpeth proposed " Success to the North-Wester n Railway," amid repeated buzzes. The navvies awn drank the health of his Lordship, and the canapany gradually left the ground. THE BANQUET. At half-past five about. 100 gentlemen sat down to dinner in the assembly-room adjoining the Golden Lion Inn. The dinner was most sumptuous. Mr. P. Dawson presided, having on his left Mr. Greene, M.P., Mr. 0. Vignoles, engineer-in -chief, Rev. R. Ingram, &c. On his right sat the Right Hon. Viscount Idorpeth, M.P. C. J. Geldard, Ottpelside, acted as vice. Among the oompany were Messrs. T. Birkbeck, R. Clayton, G. Hartley, Thomas Clapham, T. Redmayne, all of Settle ; H. Roughsedge, Bentham ; J. Sharp, mayor of Lan caster ; R. Hinde, E. Sharpe, secretary to the line, all of Lancaster ; C. Nicholson, Stand Lodge, near Bury ; the Revs. R. M. Smith, incumbent of Rauthmell ; J. Stens field, minister of Coniston • J. Marriner, vicar of. Clap ham ; R. J. Willowby Rooke, curate of Bentham, &c. In proposing " the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, " the CuAullAli said one of the earliest resolutions which had been passed by the board of directors was to pro vide a resident minister where the works were princi• pally carried on, and be felt sure that every assistance would be afforded them by the Bishop and he clergy, ospeeially the clergy more immediately conn( cted with the district. The Rev. R. liicium very appropriately acknowledged the toast. ---- Lord MORPETH rose amid loud applause. He said— Gentlemen, the chairman has just told us that he has come to the end of his routine toasts, which we have drank with due loyalty, respect, and attachment. The toast which I have now to bring before you cannot be called routine, because we have to drink it for the first time; but it will become a routine toast, for it is not the last time, I trust, we shall drink it.—(Cheers.) The toast which I am honoured by being allowed to propose is, " Success to the North-Western Railway."—(lmmense cheering.) lam sure you will feel that the sentiment is congenial to the offices in which we hare engaged this day, and that it is appropriately the crowning work of I this evening. —(Cheers.) I flatter myself that this un dertaking has been launched with all possible omens of success. Nothing seemed wanted at the beginning. I only felt, when we were on the spot where the first sod was dug, amid the admirable preparations which were made for the ceremonial, and in the centre of the beau tiful panorama of hills spread out on each side, I only felt that the passengers would complain of being hurried too rapily along over the most beautiful scenes of the world, to come to " Settle."— (Most rapturous applause, which continued for some time.) I certainly think that the position and circumstances of this line seem to combine, very happily, all the leading matters that are desirable in undertakings of this description. Con nected as it is with our most busy haunts of manufactur ing; industry in one direction, and with the most roman tic and picturesque spots of our land in another, it forms a link between the dense smoke of our factories and the silvery mists of the mountains—(Loud cheers.) I hope, with mere reference to all contemporary undertakings, it I will be found, in the opposition which it may thought to offer, to conflict in that opposition with none, but will maintain its due place, as having uses and benefits of its own. Indeed, it seems to me, from its vary position, to form an illustration of an old and familiar story, a story of two men quarelling about the possession of an oyster, and calling in a third individual to arbitrate between them. You have one line on the cost, ore on the west, and another in the middle. On one side, a powerful western line stretches along a vast extent of country, from London, we may say, to Perth. On the east, an other broad shadow corers with its bulk a great portion of the territory of our country.—(Cheers.) Well, gen tlemen, your railway comes in the middle between these two powerful competitors. Ido not say we must leave to them nothing but the empty shell; I should be sorry if any such destiny awaited them; but I hope that occu pying, as you do, the middle position, you will have your due share of the luscious article.—(Vehement cheering). With the expression of this hope for our future destiny, end in the full assurance that our future success will be commensurate with our most sanguine expectations, I beg to commend to your hearty acceptance the toast of the North-Western Railway.—(Drunk with three times three). Glee—" Life's a bumper." The CHAIRMAN responded. Among other remarks, he said that the fact of his Lordship having consented to come down from his arduous duties in London to be present with them on that occasion was itself a proof that their railway possessed some merit. Some had called this the iron age, but he trusted that it would prove the golden age.—(Cheers.) It had once been sup posed that insurmountable engineering difficulties pre vented the opening out of the lands of Craven to the benefits of railway communication; but they had found out a level road, and by means of the branch to Lan caster, a port would be opened to the West Riding of Yorkshire, which would bring the rich produce of Ire ' land in return for the commodities in which that district abounds.—(Applause.) The Chairman concluded by giving " The Alembers of the West Riding. Lord MentrETu rose amid renewed cheering. He said, I am almost ashamed to be on my legs again; it is more than clan be expected in one day, even from any navvy—(Loud laughter)—and having evinced by the part I have been allowed to take in the business of this day the interest I feel in the matter of your railway, it would not be right in me to detain you at any length in speaking on a subject merely personal to myself. I do not now come to Settle for the first time, and I have always had reason to be pleased with the reception I have met with. I may apply to myself the words of the poet, though, perhaps, in a sense different from that which he intended, " Where rise the mountains, there to me are friends." --(Loud cheers.) But however, agreeable my former visits may have been, the pleasure of my coming among may neighbours this day is much enhanced by the feel ing that there is no shadow of political difference to cast any obstacle in the way of the promotion of the best in terests of the country. To use a railway metaphor, we are all moving, not only to the same terminus, but tra velling on the same line, without any danger of collision, and without any risk of a crash.—(Renewed cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Members of the borough of Lancaster." Mr. GREENS was loudly cheered on rising. The Hon. Member said he was sure the company would do him the justice to believe that he felt most deeply gratified by the handsome manner in which his name had been received. He did not deserve to be thanked for being present at their meeting on the auspicious occasion which had called them together. On the other hand, his thanks were due to them for the honour they had done him in sending him an invitation. It was a matter of great satisfaction to him to have the opportunity of attending a meeting which had been called for the purpose of com mencing a great work, a work designed not only for local convenience, but which was entitled to be looked upon as a work of national importance. He had been in the habit, year after year, of travelling along that road to his own house, and after three days' journey ho naturally felt anxious to reach home. 'The difficulty of Giggleswick Brow always presented itself to his mind, and ho little imagined that he should ever be enabled to pass to his own place of residence at railway speed.—(Cheers.) It was gratifying to him to witness the extension of the railway system which was being carried out. He had, a short time before, been called on to attend a meeting in celebration of the opening of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and on his way had passed over the Shap which had been pronounced, on high authority, to be impracticable for railway transit. The result proved the skill of their engineers, and Great Britain might well feel proud that she had set the example to all tho world of ability and enterprise which were applied to ob jects so useful and important.—(Cheers.) He had been much struck with an expression which, when in London, he had heard used by one of the foreign Mi nisters, in speaking of a line that was proposed to be made from Hamburgh to Trieste. The observation was, that as lines were carried on to every part of the globe, and it was felt how one line depended for its success on another, there was the surest guarantee for the maintenance of the peace of the world.—(Cheers.) True, they did not require in England railroads for the maintenance of peace, but they were necessary for the purposes of commercial intercourse, and it was highly desirable that every place should possess the ad vantage of them. Feeling strongly, as he (Mr. Greene) did, the advantages derived from railway communica tion, he could not be indifferent to the benefits offered by the North-Western to a town in whose welfare he was most deeply interested, being connected with it, as he had been, from his infancy—he meant the town of Lancaster. Lancaster would be linked, by means of it, not only with the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, but with the opposite shores, and she would also be enabled to communicate with Hull and the other ports on the east side of the island. The Hon. Gentleman, after a few other remarks to a similar purpose, resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Mr. SALISBURY, of Lancaster, proposed "The Chair man and Directors of the Lancaster and Carlisle and the Leeds and Bradford lines." Mr. RAND, of Bradford, responded to the toast. Mr. Biegeecie gave " The Chairman and Board of Directors of the Blackburn and Clithoro and North- Western Railway." The sentiment was acknowledged by Mr. ROBINSON, of Settle. Mr. R. Htteue, of Lancaster, with a few appropriate i rt, n ,hei t eem r t oic,drro.sumicotpttiol compliment. Mr. nrNtve.mhaarrfl proposedtds a , e lgaveline," and d e Chairman and Di- Mr. WILSON, jun., of Eahton, briefly acknowledged success t a n et" The Chairman and Directors North-Western East Lancashire Railway," observing, that the d -N a V olfl estern Company was deeply interested in the th th a e t a e n n d ta th to at e t n h s e u ß re os a s n en ee d e a a l s e vtaollreaydevvoany enterprise.

He said the an unlimited ext en t w i t h the North p" Western interchange to ties which must c nd onduce to the comfort cpourlieodtio -Se of n e a largo degree,which would return l2i per cent. to both lines.—(Cheers.) Lord MORPETI I , in posed the health of the few very chairma appropriate words, pro n. The CHAIRMAN ack n owledged. r the compliment, and gave the health of ' rthe responding,ee, paid a high compliment to ” Mr. VIGNOLES , in ‘ responding, Mr. Watson, the acting engineer, whose , said, was surpassed only by his ability, his integrity, inteitg - ty, and e his industry. To himself, he said, no credit wasdue, except for occasionally casting his eyes over the line, to see whether certain points were carried out. To Mr. Watson belonged the praise of managing everything that related to the details, and every praise ought to be riven to him for the way in which he fulfilled his duties. He (Mr. Vi g noles) might, however , claim for himself the merit of having laid down principles which, when they were first set forth, were generally condemned us erroneous and impracticable. Their truth had, however, beers since a ck now l e d ge d, and the importance of the re sults were ab ove ca l cu l a ti on . lie hadthe only alwaysenealaid maintained that level li nes s h ou ld not b e down, but that they should boldly attack the hills.

A in nother reason for un necessary favour of the adoption of this principle was the necessity in existed of affording a far greater amountof which ne dation than could be given upon any other system. r eunlm'' He hoped to see the day when villages would have their railroads, and the farmer would find it cheaper to em ploy the railway from parish to parish, for purposes of agriculture, than the present modes of conveyance. Mr. Vignelea concluded au interesting address, of which we regret our inability to present more than the preceding I outline, amid great applause. Various other appropriate toasts were afterwards givt.n and responded to ; and the company separated at a late hour, gratified at the proceedings of the day. The London and North-Western intend placing under contract their Rugby and Stamford and Rugby and Lea mington lines. The passenger station of the Leeds and Bradford at the former town now about to be built will cover an area of .500 feet long and 180 Ride. Sir Culling Smith, one of the chief representatives of the Dissenters, speaking of the prohibition of Sunday trains, says—" I will at once say, that while I possess a carriage, and consider myself entitled to make use of it on the Sabbath, I do not think it improper that a poor man should make use of a railway carriage on that day." The Belfast and County Down meditate commencing with the new year the works on their line from Queen's bridge Belfast, to Newtownards , inclu din g the branch to liolywood, 16 miles. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN, PIRICSIDE BRANCH. —The London and North-Western open their Parkside branch to-day, accompanying it with changes in the working of the Preston and Parkside section of their line, whereby detentions, at the latter point, of trains pro ceeding north and south will be entirely avoided. LEVEL CROSSINGS ON THE RICHMOND LINE.—At a magistrates' meeting at Richmond, on Saturday, Cap tain Page and Mr. W. Gilpin reported that they had viewed several footpaths proposed to be crossed on a level ; that they °tiered no opinion on the subject of Mortlake Church footpath, since it had been taken out of the jurisdiction of the magistrates. In respect to the other footpaths, viz,—Forty, Wright's Passage, and the path leading into Mortlake, through Tinderbox-alley, they (the magistrates) after the most mature delibera tion, are of opinion that the company may be permitted to cross them on a level, on condition that they make a paved path across each footway, five feet wide, with gates on each side, and a proper person to attend to such gates at each crossing, which appointment they consider indispensable, in order to protect the public from injury to life or limb, and the justices from the serious charge of having sanctioned the same through neglect of the requisite precautions. An instance of the evil of leaving level crossings unguarded was alluded to, being that of a girl being killed on the Eastern Counties line, whilst crossing the level which had hitherto been left un watched, but at which, in consequence of the calamity, the directors of the Eastern Counties forthwith deter mined to have gates erected and a man to watch them. An order was directed to be made, and served upon the ompany immediately. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. THE INHABITANTS OF THE REGENT'S PARR, THE WOODS AND FORESTS, AND THE RE GENT'S CANAL RAILWAY. Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone vestry Mr. John Williams in the chair, a deputation of iahabit ants of the Regent's Park, amongst whom were Mr. W Williams, M.P., Mr. Peter Laurie, Mr. Bishop, of the South-villas, inner circle, and other gentlemen, waited upon the vestry, for the purpose of presenting the follow ing memorial in reference to the projected Regent's Canal Railway : "To the vestry of the parish of St. Marylebone, the show m emorial of the undersigned rat e p a y ers and inhab it a nts o fhe Regent's h P a a v r e k h a e n a d rd w iti i v th ici r n e i g ty r;t and eatihinz Thatthat it is the intention of t he p ro p rietors of the Re g ent's C ana l they Company to apply to Parliament for powers either to convert the present water way of the Regent's Canal int* a railway, or to construct a railroad on one of the banks of such canal. " That the retirement of the Regent's-park, its salu brity, and security as a place of healthful exercise and recreation, and the assurance of the Government that the advantages should be permanently secured to those who should invest their capital in erecting or purchasing dwellings, in or near th© park, have induced a large number of wealthy and respectable persons to take up their residence in this parish, to the great increase of the parochial rates and general benefit of the trading and commercial interests of the parish. " That such contemplated line of railway, from the annoyance and danger generally attendant on such a . system of traffic, will materially interfere with the com fortable and secure enjoyment of the residences, and greatly depreciate the value of the property in the neigh bourhood, thereby diminishing the amount available in aid of the parish rates, and injure, to a considerable ex tent, the trade of the parish. " That the memorialists confidently rely on the energy and discrimination of the vestry of St. Marylebone, as guardians of the interests of the parish, to take all neces sary steps for strenuously opposing a Bill for a private speculation so injurious to your memorialists and the parish at large." Mr. BISHOP said this memorial had been agreed to at a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the Re gent's Park, held a few days ago, and presided over by Sir P. Laurie, who was that day out of town. Mr. WILLIAsts, M.P., said he attended the meeting at which the memorial was adopted, as one of the residents of Park-square, which might be said to be, in reality, in the Regent's Park. He was, therefore, like all other inhabitants of the park and its vicinity, much interested in the matter, and he had no hesitation in declaring, if the canal was converted into a railway, or a railway were permitted to run along its banks, nearly all the property on the northern side of Marylebone would be destroyed, or so depreciated, as to render it almost valueless, and consequently there would be a great diminution in the rates of the parisk.—(Hear.) Ile intended, in his place in Parliament, to give the project his most determined opposition, and he hoped the vestry would aid in pro tecting the rate-payers of the northern districts from being enveloped in smoke and steam.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. P. LAURIE said he hoped the vestry would aid so large and respectable a body of ratepayers as the inha bitants of the Regent's Park, in opposing a private speculation which would inflict so much injury upon them, without the slightest pretenoe of affording any benefit to the public. The inhabitants looked upon the vestry as a moat important body, and was desirous of securing their co-operation. With regard to the legal part of the question, the inhabitants had already called the attention of the Woods and Forests to the subject, and were in a position to prove, in the event of the Regent's Canal Company obtaining a Bill for converting the canal into a railway, that such conversion would be in direct violation of all the covenants and agreements en tered into by the Commissioners on the part of the Crown with the holders of property in the Regent's Park.—(Hear, hear.) He held in his hand the report of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, bear ing date 1823, the period when the park was laid out, and it was there declared that the plan attached thereto was the plan as finally settled, and that in no way what ever should any alteration take place. He also con tended that the construction of a railway along the banks of the canal, or in the water course of the canal, was an equal violation of the act of 1812, which gave the Regent's Canal Company the power to construct their canal. There was a clause which prohibited the use of any steam engine near that portion of the canal touching on the property of the Crown, and upon the faith of this understanding gentlemen had b een i n d uce d to go to a large outlay in building their villas in the vicinity of and on the slopes of the canal. It must also be remembered that the Regent's Park had been laid out and beautified at an immense expense, not only for the comfort and recreation of the locality, but for the humble classes also, who were equally in danger of being train, as those who were could e st i tha either wr • o e bru n ei ld g dni i no n ig e ndfl o oei r cur tbt driving reani also of i ego s e ft killed or injured by runaway horses frighted at the ae ( na l d l t e a hr injurye, hear.) proceedings u ) c h .

Mr. MARTIN' THACKERAY moved that the memorial just presented be referred to the committee. Mr. G. DANIELL seconded the resolution. Ile had been invited to attend the meeting presided over by Sir Peter Laurie, but being the chairman of the committee alluded to, he thought it better that he should not. He (Mr. G. Daniell) had, however, a few days since,.at tended at Gwydr House, where he saw Mr. Driakwater Bethune and a deputation of gentlemen who were with the vestry last time in their opposition, but who were, he regretted to say, not so now. He was very much surprised to find that the traders along the banks of the canal were now ready to support instead of oppose the scheme. It appeared that they had made their own terms with the Canal Company, and cared nothing for the interests of other people. He (Mr. G. Daniell) outthought theirt h m a i t s t t a h k o e s o ; t p h a a r t t ie th s e y w w o e u r l e d , n o w t h t o e n h t a o r o l e th a e t e find , water taken away. Let the Canal Company once get their Bill for a railway, and they would soon leave the canal a dry ditch.—(lleac, hear.)

The resolution was carried unanimously. t a h s e already Crown prepared, te nnts a DEFICIENCY IN THE REVENUE OF THE CHURCHES OF MARYLEBONE. Mr. W. Bacsnaw rose to call the atte ntion of the circulation of vestry to the necessity of a more extended The the auditor's reports, with a view to inform the parishi oners of the condition of the affairs of the pa riah. most important point touched upon by the speaker was the extraordinary want of church accommodation in Marylebone, and at the same time the deficiency in the revenue deriveable by the parish therefrom. Marylebone had a population of upwards of 150,000 persons, and all the paid sittings provided in the seven churches under the controul of the vestry amounted to b,900, of which num ber about 900 were annually vacant. The returns for the last twelve years for pew rents was 58,000 L, being 4,8341. per annum, or 16s. per sitting ; but the returns of expenditure amounted to 74,2401., being a deficiency of 11,8401. The whole amount of accommodation afforded by the church in Marylebone was 32,000 sittings, whilst the Dissenters gave accOollllOdlittiQlll to the ALLl9tlllt of LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1847. 27,000 sittings. He thought that the ratepayers at large ought to know that such a state of things existed, and with that object he moved " That measures be taken for a more extended circulation of the auditor's reports." Mr. 11. C. WrLsoN, in seconding the motion, thought it ought to be followed up by something like the proposal of a remedy. He thought the great fault was, that there was not a selection made of popular preachers for the churches, and he thought that was a subject the Crown, who had the patronage, ought to attend to. Had the vestry the patronage, they would take care to select such gentlemen as would benefit the public at large. The resolution was ultimately carried, and a committee appointed to consider the matter. A resolution of condolence, by the vestry, to the Rev. Dr. Spry, the rector, on the loss of his lady, having been adopted unanimously, the vestry separated. THE FOREIGN SORCERESS AND THE BRITISH MINISTERS. At Paris, daring the early part of the year 1827, and the autumn of 1828 and 1829, resided a lady whose pre tensions and performances caused no slight sensation among the novelty-seeking coteries of that gay capital. Madame de Strzelecki was a woman advanced in years, plain in appearance, and grave in address. She spoke in the tone and dictation of one who had been accustomed to move in the higher grades of ,society ; but of her descent, connexions, plans, and resources, no one seemed able to glean the slightest information. She professed to unveil the future ; and though her fee was gold, and though she saw those only who waited upon her with a formal introduction, from a previous client, the equipages that were found loitering near her spacious dwelling in Rue de la Paix chez la liarriere du Roulo contained half the beauty and haul ton of Paris. And yet the information she gave was partial. It related to two epochs only in the life of those who consulted 1 her—death and marriage. She would place before you the lively scene and gay appendages of the one, and the langour, gloom, and restlessness of the other. On neither spectacle was it her custom to offer one single syllable of remark. She left her visitant to draw his own moral from the scene. Among the strangers in Paris at that period were two Englishmen of great, though opposite talent—both ambitious men—each ido lized by his respective party—each the sworn champion of a certain set of opinions—both high in the favour of the Sovereign whom they served, and aspiring to the most enduring rewards wnich talent and energy could win. They hoard from fifty gay voices the fame of Madame de Strzelecki; and as a 'mere whim of the moment--an impromptu extravaganza—they resolved to visit the mystic in disguise, and to test her pretensions. They were described, in the note of introduction which they presented, as " two American gentlemen, whose stay in Paris must be, under any circumstances, short; whose errand there was some commercial speculation, the issue of which might recal them to Philadelphia at a few hours' notice. They entreated, therefore, the favour of an im mediate audience." It was granted at once. She re ceived them, as was her wont, in silence. But upon the first who entered her apartment (the younger, and by far the most intellectual-looking of the two) she gazed long and earnestly. " You are married, and have two sons and a daughter ;" was the off hand declaration with which she met his . bow : " the scene of your nuptials , therefore, you cannot well have forgotten I That of your demise is the spectacle which I presume you wish to have .brought before you ?" " You anticipate me, madam," was the reply ; but such is, undoubtedly, the object of ,my present visit." " And you, Sir," said she, turning to his companion, " are married, but childless. Do you wish to gaze upon the closing scene of your busy life ?" " Per haps," added she, with more of interest and feeling than she generally exhibited, " you will abandon your intention ? Reconsider it." "By no means ; the ordeal which is gaily courted by my companion I would also brave."" Have you firmness and resolution 2" demanded the lady ? " Have you nerve to gaze upon a very har rowing spectacle ?' " Without it, ought Ito have come hither?" "I am answered: follow me." She led the way, as she spoke out of the apartment, and the English men followed her. They crossed a small, low passage; passed through a narrow portal; a second, a third, and then found themselves in a hall of very considerable ex tent. It was paved with black marble, and decorated at each end with four slender pillars of the same material. In fhe centre rose a very large jet-black basin, filled with ()ark water to a considerable depth. A cupola, or lantern, admitted a tempered light from above; and the deep basin was so placed that whatever daylight the dome ad mitted fell upon it. But, despite of the noble propor tions of the hall, and the lightness of the pillars, and the fairy tracery of the cupola, there was en air of gloom ever the whole apartment. It seemed a fitting scene to communicate tidings of approaching sorrow, sepa tion, sickness, silence, death. " Loo k o n this dark ia ater," said their conductress;_ " it shall speak to you f the future. If death be at a distance, it will sink some feet in every second that you gaze upon it. If your parting hour approaches, it will rise rapidly ; and if the very last sands in life's hour-glass be running ; will mount till it be checked only by the margin, If it be fated that death shall approach you in the guise of vio lence, the water shall instantly bubble up. If caused by accident, it will change colour once, twice, fast as the hues of the rainbow meet into each other and vanish, even while you gaze on them. If death overtake you by gradual decay, and in the common course of nature, other than a gentle ripple over its surface, no change will the still water know or tell. You understand me?" " I do." " Fully?" " I conceive so." " Approach, then. Gaze steadfastly on that dark surface, and it shall mirror to thee, fully and faithfully, the future." The calmer, and graver, and sadder of the two ad vanced slowly . to the margin with a look of mingled curiosity and . incredulity, which sat strangely on his heavy, massive, and somewhat passionless features. In an instant the water rose at least two feet--changed colour rapidly, and evidently more than once — and then became dark and motionless as before. "Ah I not far distant—and by accident!" The mystic made no reply, but merely motioned him by a gesture to gaze on. He did so, and ai he looked he beheld a mimic representation of a scene of great con fusion. Countless multitudes were assembled—there was running to and fro—horsemen were riding in all directions—the spectators were conversing eagerly with each other—and deep dismay sat on many a countenance. This faded from the surface, and there was presented to him a small room in what appeared to be a road-side inn. Three or more individuals it contained, to whose persons he was a perfect stranger. But there was one present whose features he instantly recognised—one who was ever dear to hica—his wife. Her countenance was calm, but there was stamped on it deep and indescribable distress. Propped up . with pillows in the foreground, was a figure which he instantly admitted to be his own. But how painfully was he pictured ! The eye was wan dering and restless—eyery feature bore the impress of in tense agony—and the face was overspread with that cold grey tint which so surely foretells impending dissolution. He looked at it steadily for a few seconds. A sort of mist seemed to come over his vision. He withdrew his gaze for an instant from the fountain, and when he again resumed his observation the painful scene had wholly disappeared I His inquiring look of astonish by the fixed, rigid expression 0; ment and emotion the mystic returned with apathy. The agitation manifested in his countenance was appeared a painful struggle with conflicting feelings ; her countenance wore its usual air of cold and s h t e r r r e. gelL is contras ted impassive indifference. " What ! it's past a joke ?" said the younger of the two, advancing gaily towards the fountain; "the an swer of ' the oracle is not palateable, eh? Take your favourite poets advice henceforth : Quid sit futurum, eras --• F u ge quagere I But now of me and to me what says the future I" The water rose a few inches and then became stationary. _b u mble in its ircommodation, antique and clumsy in its furniture, and altogether pretension- On s its dismuernfascioens next appeared a small chamber, limited in it pretension less in its comforts and appointments. Gardens seemed to stretch around it of considerable extent ; and on the mantel-piece he remarked a small bronze lion, at once, clock of singular c hapel and construction. His atten became intently and painfully fixed. " Charles, as I live!" he exclaimed, as his eyes rested on of a sick person, in the lineaments of a youth, who was holding the hand the full vigour of life, but evidently racked with bodily " agony. " The other figure I co n • cieve to be that—that —"continued he, speaking slowly and after a lengthened pause—" yes, that of Charles's dying father! 'Tis a painful spectacle," added he, turning from the fountain, " and I know not what benefit is t o be derived from a len g thened contem plation of it. Come, the day wears.

EXTENSIVE HORSE STEALING. On Saturday an elderly man,lnamed James Robinson, described as a horse dealer, but who was formerly a grocer at Blackwater, Hants, was brought up before the Rev. R. Wright and Mr. Theobald, magistrates of Hampshire, at the office of the magistrates' clerk, oppo site the gaol at Winchester, for further examination, on io fewer than eight charges of horse stealing. The pri soner was apprehended at Hammersmith, and after a short examination before Mr. T. Paynter at the Ham mersmith police-court, was sent down to Winchester, it being more convenient to the witnesses. It appeared from the evidence gone into that the pri soner had, for the last three months, been in the habit of going, backwards and forwards to the Raven public house kept by Mr. William Beasley, in the New-road, Hammersmith, generally staying two or three days in a week, and several times bringing horses with him. On the 19th of November last he brought with him a grey, gelding, nearly thorough-bred, which he kept there a week. During that time the prisoner offered it for sale to several persons at sixty guineas, telling them that he was a small farmer and had bred it. On the 19th of December (Saturday) policeman Graves, T 195, while passing the Raven, saw the prisoner there with three or four persons, and heard one ask him if he had sold his grey horse. The prisoner said that he had, but had only got 431. when it ought to have been 60/., as it was nearly thorough-bred. The policeman, suspect ing something was wrong; spoke to the landlord on the subject, who gave him a description of the horse. Graves immediately communicated the circumstance to Sergeant Mount, T 29, who went to the Raven on the following morning, having in the meantime ascertained that a horse answering the description had been stolen from a stable on the promises of Mr. William Saunders, Cran bourne Farm, near the Andover station, Hants, and questioned the prisoner if his name was Robinson ?—if the grey horse was his property, and where he had bought it ? The prisoner answered yes to the first question, but made no reply to the other questions. Mount then asked him if the bay horse he was feeding belonged to him, and whether a grey horse in the next stall was his also? The prisoner said both were his, and that he had bought them, and, after some hesitation, added, " I sup• pose you are going to take me." He was then secured, and it was ascertained that the - grey horse stolen from Mr. Saunders, which the prisoner said had gone into Yorkshire, was at the commission stables of Mr. Shackle in Oxford-street, where it was found by Mount and identified by Mr. Saunders. Evidence was then gone into proving that the grey horse, which Mr. Saunders valued at aot, was sate in the stable on the evening of the 17th November last, and was missing on the following morning, when the door was found shut, but not pinned by a chain as it was on the previous evening. Mr. Charles Lee, of Coldrey, Hants, indentified the bay cart gelding, valued at 251., found by Mount at the Raven, as the property of his mother, Mrs. Harriet Lee, of Coldrey, which had been stolen from his stable on the night of the 14th December last. There were two other horses in the stable which was broken open, but were not taken. A stable adjoining had also been broken open, but the door having a chain like a street door, the thief could not enter ; in that stable were four valuable hunters, the least of which was worth 100 guineas. Mr. T. Webb, of Dogsmerfield, near Odiham, Hants, identified the grey mare also found at the Raven, and valued at thirty guineas, as having been stolen from his premises on the night of the 2d of December. The BENCH said it would be unnecessary for them to go into the other cases against the prisoner, as the evidence in the three cases in which the depositions were taken were so clear as to ensure a conviction. The prisoner was nominally committed for trial at the Spring Assizes. but will be again brought up on the attendance of Mr. Shackle, for whose presence a sum mons o a n sp personas s a o s n i n s saumeedd, Tinely,a al a a t summons l f , o a r r m t e E attendance is said to have purchased Mr. Saunders's horse at Mr. Shackle's for 43/. The BENCH complimented the officers of the T divi sion for the ability they had displayed in the case. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION HOUSE. THE ROBBERY OF THE WARWICK AND LEANING TON BANK.--It will be recollected that in July, 1845, a clerk in the Warwick and Leamington Bank, named William Hudson Blayney, was stated to have stolen a parcel containing one hundred 101. notes, with which he had been intrusted by the firm to deposit in the post office at. Warwick ; and that Daniel Forrester, accom panied by Superintendent Roby, of the Leatnington police, apprehended the accused at Calais, but were pre vented from taking him away with them by the defec tive condition of the international law between the two countries.—Blayney this day suddenly gave himself up to John Forrester, stating that it was his determination to meet the charge before the Lord Mayor, and, if ne cessary, before the Central Criminal Court. He ap peared to be very much distressed, and was exceedingly dejected. Immediately after Blayney had been taken into custody at Calais, application was made to the au thorities by Forrester to convey him to England, but re jected for the before-mentioned reason. However, the accused having travelled in the name of Brows, was locked up for two months inconsequence of the misnomer, and the authorities not being able to do anything more in furtherance of the object of the officers, he was discharged at the end of that period. Exhausted with fatigue and privations, he at length resolved to come over to England and take his chance of a trial, to which it was supposed the bankers would not think it necessary to subject him, as he is not only without money, but it is considered that he had received no share of the booty. It is rather an extraordinary fact, that at the time he was giving himself up to John Forrester, that officer's brother was receiving directions from the plundered parties to be on the look out, as it was sup posed that Blayney was in London. George Blayney, the brother of the prisoner, was taken for the robbery soon after the commission of it, he having, it was be lieved, received the parcel from his brother, and a man named Jennings was apprehended on the charge of hay ing been receiver, and both were at the ensuing assizes convicted, and sentenced to a limited term of transporta tion, while the prisoner, who has thus given himself into custody, escaped to France. John Forrester having stated to the Lord Mayor the fact that the prisoner had called upon him to give him self up for trial, the prisoner, in answer to the question of the Lord Mayor, said he was ready to meet the charge. The prisoner was remanded for a few days, and direc tions were immediately forwarded to the Warwick and Leamington Bank to send witnesses to town. EXTENSIVE ENBEZZLENENT.—Edmund Webber, who was some days ago charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Giles and Co., Fowkes's-buildings, Tower, was brought up for final examination. Mr. Hobler appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the defendant. The prisoner had been long employed as collecting clerk by Messrs. Giles and Co., and one of the sums of money he was charged with having embezzled was 7181. 115 6d., for which Mr. Aste, a customer of the house, residing in Tottenham•court Toad, paid him a cheque for his employers. The prisoner was committed for trial upon three distinct charges. He bad, unfor tunately, been tempted to deal in railway shares, and having been successful in two or three experiments, he fancied he should have it all his own way, and made a dash with his employer's money to make his fortune. Blaney Blanch Cobbett, the wife of Mr. W. Cobbett, the eldest son of the late well known Mr. Cobbett, was brought before Messrs. Lucas and Wilkinser, the pre siding magistrates, charged, together with a lad named Alfred Sims, with stealing an iron shutter-bar, the property of Mr. Jesse Oldfield, the landlord of the Red Lion Inn, Smitham Bottom. It may be necessary to explain that Mr. Oldfield was one of the executors of the late Mr. Cobbett, and for several years proceedings have been going on in Chan cery between him and Mr. W. Cobbett, the husband of the lady now under charge. From the evidence of Mr. Oldfield it appeared that on Friday evening, about seven o'clock, the boy Sims came to his house and asked if Mr. Oldfield was at home. lie suspected that he had come to serve him with some process, and he therefore inquired his name, and what business he had with Mr. Oldfield ; and, upon his re fusing to tell him, he went into the parlour and shut the door. He then heard a voice, which he believed to be that of Mrs. Cobbett, say, " She would not be done," and that he had gone into the parlour, and an attempt was made to force open the door, which he resisted. He , shortly afterwards heard a cry of " Murder 1" and " Police !" and on his coming out he found that Mrs. Cobbett and the young man were gone, and he was in formed they had taken away the iron shutter-bar. He immediately went after them, first to the railway station at Stoat's-nest, where he found that they had left the bar, and he afterwards proceeded to the Croydon police sta tion, where he found them ; and it appeared that Mrs. Cobbett had been making some complaint against him, and he gave them both into custody upon the charge of stealing the iron bar. Mrs. Cobbett, in answer to the charge, said, that the lad accompanied her to Mr. Oldfield's ftir the purpose 0 serving a copy of a writ upon him, and she went to poin him out. When they went to the house, Mrs. Oldfield came out with the iron bar in question, which she at first thought was a "gun, and made a rush at them with it, and the bar fell between them, and struck her on the heel, and if it had fallen upon her head it would in all probability have killed her. She took away the bar solely for the purpose of having it produced before the magistrate, to whom she intended to apply for redress fur the assault that had been committed upon her. Inspector Bilson, who took the charge at the station, deposed that Mr. Oldfield first came to him and com plained that two persons had stolen a shutter-bar, and he wished to have the assistance of a policeman ; and a constable was accordingly sent out with him to look for the parties. While they were gone, Mrs. Cobbett and the lad came to the station-house, and the former asked his advice how she was to act, saying that she had been to serve the copy of a writ upon Mr. Old field, and that Mrs. Oldfield had thrown an iron bar at her, which she had taken away, and left in the charge of the clerk at the railway station. Mr. Old field at this moment returned, and he charged the parties with felony, witness telling him that if he made such a charge he was bound to entertain it, but he must understand that it would be upon his own responsibility, and Mr. Oldfield accordingly gave them in charge for stealing the iron bar. Mr. LUCAS—And have they been in custody ever since ? Inspector—They have, sir. As Mr. Oldfield made the charge, I had no alternative but to detain them, although certainly, if bail had been offered, I should have taken it, under the circumstances. The MAGISTRATES, after a short consultation, said they wore of opinion that, as regarded Mrs. Cobbett, there was not the slightest ground for the charge, and they shoald, therefore, dismiss it as against her, and allow her to be sworn and make a statement upon oath in reference to the charge against the other defendant. Mrs. Cobbett was accordingly sworn, and she re peated the statement she had made with respect to her being attacked by Mrs. Oldfield with the iron bar, and its being thrown at them ; and she stated that the lad took the bar away by her direction, solely with a view to its being produced before the magistrates. The MAGISTRATES then dismissed the charge against the boy, and the parties retired. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS HULL, JANUARY 2.

I.—This being Christmas week, there has not been much business done —nevertheless there is a decided firmness in the wool market, and prices have an upward tendency. , WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. I.—The last week of the old year is proverbially a dull one for busine:s, and the present does not form an exception to this rule ; there is, however, a very firm feeling pervading the trade generally for wool of all kinds, and an expectation of more life in the trade at the turn of the new year. LBEDS.—On Saturday there was one of the best markets we have had for a long time, but only for low goods, such as blues and common wool-dyed blacks suit able for the American market, and which have been dead stock in the manufacturer's hands since the agitation of the tariff, in the United States last year. One highly re spectable house here have availed themselves of the verylow prices, and have bought largely. In goods of any other description there was little done either on Saturday or Tuesday. Prices are pretty steady. As usual at this season, there is little doing in the warehouses, people being engaged in taking stock. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have only to state again, that the cloth market is so unsteady in prices as to make it impossible to quote the value of any description of gods. The very great uncertainty as to how the present speculation will terminate has com pletely cut off all speculative inquiries for both goods and yarns, and the year 1846 has closed with extremely painful prospects. NOTTINGHAM.—There is no new feature in the market to report this week, in consequence of the usual Christ mas holidays taking place. No alteration is at present noticed in the prices either of yarns or nets, but the unusual speculation still going on in the raw material begins to wear a serious aspect, and must, if continued, considerably affect the prices of yarns. The hosiery trade is still further on the decline.--Nottingham Review. LEICESTER.—Being holiday week, business has been stationary in the warehouses, and we have no alteration to report in either wools or yarn. Upon an extensive review of the last two months of the year, it will be found that the value of money has not much changed. Good bills at three months can be dis counted at 31. The prevailing opinion seems to be that money will keep the same value for some time to come. The dividends are on the eve of payment, and even if anticipated to some extent, must still assist in making money plentiful. The exportation of bullion is still going on. The next American steamer will take out 400,0001. to buy bread stuffs, and the exchange being at present in favour of the Americans, it is a question whether the exportation of money may still go on. If so, the Bank, to defend itself, may be forced to raise the rate of interest on discounts. But all this for the time being is problematical, and the best opinions lead to the probability that no upward movement will take place for the next two months, and may not be nece,sa.ry then. The drain to Ireland is not to be left wholly out of con sideration. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that a very large arrival of bullion from South America—to the amount, it is said, of a minim and a half sterling—has taken place within the last day or two, by the Daphne sloop. Opinions vary as to the in tentions of the " Old Lady," in Tnreadneedle-street ; and matters there are, of course, sub rosa. Stiil the best opinions are, that mattvrs will be allowed to remain as they are—for the present.—Observer. It is supposed that the expenses of the enlargement of the Euston-square station of the London and North- Western, now in progress, will not be short of 50,0004 if.

KING AND THE MAGISTRATE.—The Rev. B. King. rector of St. George's•in-the-East, who was complained of on Thursday by a man named Hag gerty for refusing to perform the funeral service over the body of his sister-in-law, came before Mr. Yardley to complain of Haggerty's statement, and make a counter one. The reverend gentleman, who appeared to labour under a little excitement of feeling, held a paper in his hand, and began as follows :—" I complain of the con duct of Mr. Yardley, the sitting magistrate on last Thursday, respecting an ex park application made by a person named Haggerty, an account of which appeared in the Times newspaper of yesterday. The statement of Haggerty, that I refused to perform the funeral rites over the _body of bis sister, Is nothing but a tissue of falsehoods. First, the verdict of the coroner's jury was not Found drowned,' as stated by Haggerty, and I have received from the registrar of deaths the true ver dict, which was, That the deemed threw herself into the waters of the London Dock, but in what state of mind she was in at the time there was not sufficient evidence before the jury.' Secondly, It was asserted that the corpse was brought into the churchyard, and that I refused to perform the fu• neral rites. That is false, entirely false. As soon as I received the verdict I sent the parish clerk to the par ties to inform them that I could not, consistently with my sacred calling and the Christian feelings I possess, perform the burial rites. Lastly, it was asserted that I received a certain fee for the performance of the service for the burial of the dead, and that I had refused to re turn it. That is entirely false. I never received any fees, and knew nothing about them until I saw the case published in the Times. H a ving finished reading his denial from the paper in his hand, the rev. gentleman protested against the con duct of the magistrates in countenancing the applica tion of a person, and allowing him to make a statement prejucial to another in his absence. The system was a most nefarious one, and ought not to be permitted. He then handed to Mr. Yardley the paper he had been reading from. The MAGISTRATE declined receiving it, and said, Mr. King, do you know who you are addressing? The Rev. Mr. King (sternly)—No, I do not. The MAGISTRATE—I am Mr. Yardley, and the person you complain of, and whatever my conduct has been I shall not condescend to acquit myself before a private individual. I think any person of common sense on reading the report you complain of would come to a very different conclusion to the one you have arrived at. I neither countenanced nor discouraged the application, but it was my duty . to hear it, and I could not ascertain whether I had any jurisdiction in the case until the man had made his statement, when I told him I could not interfere. I might have stopped you before, but I al lowed you to vindicate yourself from any aspersions you might think injurious. The Rev. Bryan King—l complain of the magistrate countenancing the publication of Haggerty's statement. Mr. Yardley—l deny it, Sir; it's false! The Rev. Bryan King —l beg your pardon, if the case is inaccurately reported. Mr. Yardley—l saw nothing in the Times report which was incorrect or unfair, and I shall not listen to anything more you say. The reverend gentleman attempted to address the ma gistrate, but finding no attention paid to him he hastily withdrew. CROYDON. -SINGULAR CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A DAUGH TER-LN•LAW 0/ THE LATE AIR.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF A LADY.--,llll'o ing the past week much conversation and excitemen t been occasioned throughout the neighbourhood of Va enham, Richmond, &c., in consequence of the mysterg7i disappearance of a lady seventy years of age, Smith, the wife of a gentleman residing at Twickenb i o It appeared that she went to bed with her husba n d s , her usual health and spirits on the night after Christalop day. On his awakening in the course of the night , 0 1 saw what be supposed at the time to be his wife's he on the pillow next his, but on his getting up the fol io ed ing morning he found that the pillow had been drel ef up, it is supposed, by the lady herself to represent P d . still lying there, and although every search was rt s r e after her, both on and off the premises, she was now uv r to be found. Since that time a description of her P e re son has been forwarded to all the divisions of the Ine S t i pblitan and City police, and the river, both above below below Twickenham, has been dragged, without any u °- of her being discovered. LABOUR TO MAKE A WATCH.—Mr. Dent, in a ' 165, ture delivered before the London Royal Institute, stslo, that a watch consists of 902 pieces, and that 40 tra o f, and probably 215 persons are employed in making oll e ce . these little machines. The iron of which the balsa a wheel is formed, is valued at something less tbsii i , farthing ; this produces an ounce of steel, worth 41 0 i: pence, which is drawn into 3,250 yards of steel wire, 0 4: , represents in the market 131. 3s. ; but still another P'. o f cess of hardening this originally , a farthing's worth iron, renders it workable into 7,650 balance Epr in A, which will realize at the common price, of 2s. 6d. e r s 7461 Ss., the effect of labour alone. Thus the o ! re i labour bestowed upon one farthing's worth of iron, it the value of 9501. 55., which is 75,680 times its OW value. , ~HE That the will b e ,4 1 6. e14c1c. an, 114 t.
