HELEN ,CANAL AND RAILWAY. A special meeting of the proprietors was held at Liverpool on Saturday, Mr. G. Greenall in the chair, at which the copy of a Bill was submitted for the approval of the shareholders, to make branch railways to War, rington and Bla-krock, to make alterations in the main line, and also to take a lease of the Rainford branch of the London and North-Western Railway. The resolu tion approving of the Big was carried by a majority, two dissentients having voted against it. Mr. C. Tiou.AND stated that the present trade of the company in coals amounted to 650,000 tons, and that it was likely to increase to 800,000 or 1,000,000 tons, all of which would be shipped at Garston. He thought it was to be regretted that the London and North-Western Company should have been induced to strenuously op pose their Bill, and incur so much expense, when the whole cost o f th e ex t ens i on wou ld not exceed 50,0001. DUNDEE AND ARBROATH RAILWAY. The annual meeting of the shareholders was held at Dundee on Wednesday, Mr. W. Thorns in the chair. The report recommended that a dividend of 4 per cent. be declared for the past half-year. The CHAIRMAN stated that as the lease of the line to a neighbouring company at a guaranteed dividend of 8 per cent. had been already sanctioned by the shareholders, the report was necessarily brief ; that the revenue of the past year, ending the 14 of May, 1847, amounted to 16,6711., which showed an increase over that of the pre ceding year (15,5490 of above 7 percent.; that on every branch of traffic an increase had taken place, which still continues; and that the business of the railway was car ried on in a satisfactory manner to the public. Resolu tions were passed, adopting the report, approving of tho dividend payable in July free of income-tax, and adding to the directors Lord Kinnaird and Mr. Small. - .............., EXAMPLES. 1 . 1 u I Derma- Sum the , A s , A Annual Policy Bonus in ! ncnt Re- Assured gL.

LOO DON ) TLi Es DAY EVE NING NI ,TriO.V7 -,7O,CMGEL77,MIIA THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY. To relieve 'the anxiety which cannot fail to exist in the minds of all parties who had friends passing over the railway on Saturday, we proceed to give an accurate list of the sufferers by the catastrophe ; the names given yesterday being not only incomplete, but incorrect in some important particulars. The number stated to have been killed by the collision was correctly stated yester day as seven individuals ; besides these, there are four others more or less seriously injured, who still remain at the Wolverton station. Only two of the deceased parties have as yet been owned by their friends. The other five have been identified by marks and papers found on their persons. The following is a list of the PASSENGERS KILLED. Mr. John Simpson Sherratt, of Lichfield, formerly secretary to the Lichfield and Birmingham Railway Company. Mr. T. Makinson, a graduate of Magdalen Hall, Oxford. Mr. J. Clifton, silk mercer, who was on his road to Leamington. Mr. J. B. Rattray, of the firm of Keay and Rattray, of the Lily Bank Foundry, Dundee. Mr. Miller, honorary secretary to the Ragged School, held at 107, Breadwall, London. Mr. Cop e , a young gentleman, apparently about 20 years of age, who was on his way to Wolverhampton. And a Mr. Henry Smith, a remarkably fine man, who, from the ticket found in his pocket, is supposed to have booked himself for Birmingham. Of the above Mr. Sherratt and Mr. Makinson have alone been recognised by their respective friends. Mr. Girton was identified on Saturday night by a friend, who was in the same train, but who went on shortly after the accident, and has not since been heard of. Mr. Rattray is known bYylettere and cards found on his person. Mr. Miller 4 - 4r'A.:- :iith him a small pocket Bible, having his name, as secretary to the Raggel School above alluded to, inscribed therein. The identity of M r . Cope is proved by his name being legibly written in each glove, and by subsequent inquiries which have been made for him ; and that of Mr. Henry Smith rests on the marks which appear on his linen, where the name of " Henry Smith, No. 6, 1843," is inscribed at full length. As the latter body is the only one as to which there can be the slightest doubt, it may be as well to mention that the unfortunate gentleman wore a very handsome gold watch, the maker's initials being "W. D.," and the number "12 275." Ms watch key is at tached to a ring, on which were three common keys, the one belonging to a Bramah lock. In the centre of the watch key is a green stone, on which is engraved, in the form of a crest, a " heron's head and neck, having a fish in its mouth." A blue purse, containing gold and silver moneys, was also found on the deceased's person. The above are the only fatal cases. We subjoin a list of those parties injured by the collision who still remain at Wolverton:— Mr. Turner, agent to Lord Begot. of Blythfield House, Staffordshire. A journeyman baker, named Elewee, in the service of the proprietor of the Royal Hutt I, Lerveington. A person named Shannon, resiling at \iancbester, and A person named Finlin, a native of DuLlin. These four were the only persons seriously injured, several who sustained only slight contusions by the shock having proceeded on their journeys shortly after the me lancholy occurrence. What may be the ultimate result in the four cases it is impossible at present to say, owing to the degree of inflammation existing about the injured parts; but, as it has been ascertained that no serious fractures exist in any case, great hopes are entertained that all may recover. It is unnecessary to repeat in detail the manner in which the collision took place. The report furnished by Captain Huish details, with all the exactness which can at present be arrived at, the mode in which one car riage rose from the rails, and forced itself completely through the body of that immediately behind it, jam mieg together all the passengers so as to deprive seven of their number of life almost instantaneously, and severely injure several others. Any attempt further to describe the collision would also be improper pend ing the investigation before the coroner, where evi dence of all the facts will be adduced Suffice it that from all that has been ascertained there cannot be the slightest doubt the accident has arisen entirely from the carelessness—whether wilful or otherwise remains to be proved—of the policeman who had charge of the signal on the London side of Wolverton. This man, as al ready stated, has been given into custody, and it is further stated 'that he has made such extraordinary ad missions since his apprehension as to justify the autho rities in entertaing some suspicion of his conduct having been other than accidental. In brief, it is stated, that when taken into custody, after having ascertained the extent of mischief he had caused, he remarked, " then, I hope I shall be transported, for that is what I want." Against this admission, in justice to the sus pected party, it should be added, that the reporter was yesterday informed by a constable who described himself as having been one of the first to see the accused after the accident, that on his remarking to him on the extent of the catastrophe, he replied, "I know it well, and if I had had a knife in my poket you would not have found me a living man." The absence of all motive in the case renders it very difficult to suppose that the man's conduct could have been wilful. The general character given of him by his superiors is highly favourable to his atten tion to duty. He has been stationed at the same signal post three months, and only on one occasion has any dereliction of duty been proved against him. This was about ten days since, when he wrongfully passed an ex cursion train on to a sidin g , un d er th e impression, as he then stated to the officers, th a t it was a train of empty carriages. The re su lt o f the investigation w hi c h too k place into this ci rcumstance was the in fliction of the nominal fine of on e s hilli ng on the man, it b e i ng con sidered that extenuating circumstances had been proved by him in his defence. This small fine appears to have been felt as a disgrace by the man, and it is, perhaps, not impossible that it may have bad the effect of render ing him nervous in the performance of his duty on Saturday night. However, further speculation on this subject would be useless pending the inquiry now com menced. The circumstances have been considered suffi ci:ntly suspicious te l retain the man in custody, and he has been already 11.nded over by the railway company to the civil authorities. Information of the melancholy occurrence having been forwarded to Mr. Cowley, the coroner for Buckingham shire, that gentleman arrived at Wolverton early on Sunday morning, and after insnectin4 the scene of the accident made arrangements I'otcommencing an investi gation yesterday. A jury of twenty-five most respectable inhabitants of the surrounding parishes accordingly met the learned gentleman yesterday at twelve o'clock, in the workman's reading-room attaened to the station. Mr. Brugeres, the superintendent of the railway; Mr. M'Connell, of the locomotiv e department; and Mr. Bed ford, of( the company's police, were present by arrange ment. Mr. Barnewall, of the firm of Parker and Co., of Lin coin's Inn, solicitors to the company, also attended to watch the proceedings; but as it was understood the inquiry would be carried no further than to identify the bodies, none of the directors nor the secretary attended. The Coroner and jury proceeded in the first instance to view the bodies, which were lying in one of the prin cipal apartments of the station, and presented one of the most deplorable sights which it is possible to ima gine. Their bodies were to all appearance scarcely injured, and, so far as could be observed, not a bone was fractured ; their blackened faces, however, but too plainly showed th e f r ightf u l na tu re of their death, viz., suffocation. The jury retired as quickly as possible from the per formance of their painful duty, and proceeded to view the locality where the accident occurred. Carriages intended to represent the two trains had been placed on the siding, in order to make the manner in which the accident occurred more clearly intelligible, and every explanation required was most readily afforded by the railway officials. On returning to the inquest-room, after an absence of nearly two hours, docaeedings at once. Th e j ur y The CORONER remarked, t y la , a h t e a t s ho i o t g w h o t ul i d t b w e o i u m h o h s e ' d si e b s l i e ra t b o lo clo to se a t d h jo e u e r a o se th t e ha p t r having viewed the bodies, there would be no necessity for keeping them above ground after they had been re spectively owned, and this had been one of his reasons for calling them together so soon.

JUNE 8, 1847. AMERICAN PRODUCE.

GEOLOGY.—Last week there was obtained from the Bishopmill quarry, worked by Mr. Lamb, in the yellow section of the old red sandstone, a cast or im pression of the trunk, divested of the head and tail, of the fossil fish, Holoptychius Nobilissimus, which pro mises to throw some light on the normal shape of that organism ; hitherto, with no other guide than the fine specimen obtained by Mr. Noble, of St. Madoes, geolo gists had concluded that the form had been eliptical, and broadly expanded, in the manner of flat fishes. This would now appear to have been the effect of compression, for the specimen just recovered, which is in reality the trunk of the fish, stuffed with sand and fuller's earth, so as to maintain the exact dimensions and contour of the ' body, gives, instead of a compressed, a thick triangular section, and, in place of a wide spindle-shaped outline, a finely tapering one, which is very striking, from the im bricated arrangement:of the scale-impressions, and the complete relief of the fossil, rising out of the surface of the slab, as if it had been placed upon it by the hand. This new aspect leads back to the surmise that this fish is an extinct species of the genus Acipursu, or Sturgeon. --Elgin Courant. FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—At 8 o'clock on Friday evening, a wherry, rowed by a gentleman and a watermau, attempted to pass through the middle arch of Battersea bridge, from the western side, but was met by the Lelia Itookli steamer, on her way to Putney, which entered the eastern side of the arch at the same moment. The steamer instantly stopped, but the swell of water submerged the boat, which passed under the paddle-wheels, and the gentleman and waterman were both in the greatest peril of losing their lives: however they fortunately succeeded in catching hold of the Chain which runs round the steamer, and by this means held themselves up till rescued and put on board the steam-boat, whence they were transferred to a public-house on the Chelsea side of the river. The swamped wherry was towed to shore. HIS SERENE HIGIINEES PRINCE OSCAR OF SWEDEN. -.-PORTS3IOIITH, MONDAY.—The Prince is to arrive at the Gosport terminus of the South-Western Railway at eight o'clock this evening, and will immediately go on board the Swedish frigate. At eight o'clock to-morrow morning, the Undine steam yacht is to be alongside the Eugenia, to bring on shore the Prince, who has accepted the invitation to breakfast with Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, at the Admiralty House. His Serene Highness will be accompanied by the captain and some of the officers of the frigate and brig, and they are afterwards to be taken over the dockyard, con cluding the day by dining with the Commander-in-Chief. The Prince and the officers sleep on board their own ships, and put to sea early on Wednesday - morning, bound for the North. The , brig's name is the Nordonskiold. CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION.—The South- Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Company's steam ship the Princess Maud, left Ramsgate for Ostend yesterday morning at 4 40, with 24 passengers ; the Princess Helena left Folkestone for Boulogne, at five A.NI , with 17 passengers, and the Lord W*.rd'n arrived at Folkestone from 13oulogne, at 7 10 w: ch 90 pass gars, rind again ieit Folkist.„,e f, r Boulogno At 3 3,1 P.N., 'Willi 33 pif=Sillg6rs; tic c ., Helena arrived at Folkestone, from Boulogne, at 5 10 P.M., with 69 passengers, amongst whom was Lady Duff - Grin and family. SOUTHAMPTON-MONDAY. The Oriental and Peninsular steam-ship. Tagus, Capt. Evans, arrived in our docks this morning at five o'clock. In consequence of the amended quarantine laws, she did not (as usual) stop at the Motherbank, but immediately sailed into the docks, when the luggage of the passen gers having been cleared at the Custom-honse, they ieft for their various destinations. The cargo of the Tagus was very considerable, con sisting of 47 bags of yellow berries, 9 bales of silk, 499 kentils of nuts, 90 bales of goats' hair, 38 boxes of leeches. 2,,000 kilos. of wheat, 69 cases of opium, 6 bales of mohair, 108 bags of galls, 170 oases of sponge, 20 boxes of maecaroni, 5 boxes of bullion, and a great va riety of packages, and 70 passengers. The royal mail steam-ship Dee, Captain Allen, is due this day, but her non•arrival may be accounted for in consequence of an alteration in her voyage, adopted in consequence of the loss of the ill-fated Tweed, and her arrival may not be looked for until to-morrow or the next morning. The Dee, it is expected; will bring news from Mexico of a later date than that which has already reached us via New York. The first steamer on the New York, Bremen, and Southampton line (the Washington) is shortly expected at Cowes ; and, at present, it is uncertain whether she will come here with her mails,.&c., or have them con veyed hither in a smaller vessel, and then proceed on her voyage to Bremen. Her touching at our port is looked forward to with interest, and should she do so she will be duly welcomed. The Iberia, Captain Bowen, left this afternoon with the Peninsular mails and passengers. The Indus has started on an experimental trip for the purpose of testing her engines and machinery. • CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The ship Tudor brings accounts of April 6th from the Cape of Good Hope. The state of affairs on the frontier had not varied much. Pato was said to have sent a message to the Governor, signifying his anxiety for peace; but it is also asserted that the reply given was to the effect that the chief's submission must be uncondi- .... tional. The commander of the forces had V left Fort Peddie with a detachment of troops, and the new Bur gher levies on the 25th of March, and proceeded to wards the Kiaskama. A strong post was in progress of foi mation at the mouth of the Buffalo River, and large supplies of food, &c., would be collected at King Wil liam's Town, so as to be in the neighbourhood and avail able for the army, without their having to retire from the scene of action. In fact, the object of Sir Henry Pottinger is said to be to subdue the Kafirs, and to settle the affairs of the frontier on a permanent basis. The Dutch Boers were anxious to serve under their own officers, and desired Sir Andreas Stockeustrom again to place himself at their head, although that gentleman appears to be anxious; from his advanced age, to retire from public duties. A deputation of the Eastern Provinces Bank had waited on his Excellency, in order to represent to him the difficulties under which the mercantile communities were labouring, in consequence of the scarcity of the circulating medium. It was suggested, as a measure of relief, that commissariat drafts should be made a legal tender, and also that the amounts for which they are drawn should be small, so that a quicker circulation might be encouraged. His Excellency replied that he did not feel himself at liberty to alter the currency laws as they at present stood; and expressed his belief that a considerable amount of specie was on its way, which would materially lessen the evil. From Natal we learn that on Feb. 20 the expedition against Umzimculu had dispersed his followers, and several thousand head of cattle had been captuied. The chief had, however, escaped, and a reward of 501. had been offered for his apprehension. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 6.—The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, disembarked the 60th Rifles yesterday, and they marched to quarters at Chichester. The perform ances of this noble two-decker have been during the five months' cruise of the first order—she has, for days toge ther, made upwards of 13 knots per hour. JUNE 7.—The Frolic, 16, Commander C. B. Hamil ton, came up to Spithead this afternon from the Pacific, with a freight of 2,000,000 dollars on merchants' account, which have been consigned to Messrs. E. and E. Ema nuel, freight agents and silversmiths to the Queen, of this port, for conveyance to the Bank of England. So great was the anxiety to get her into harbour that the Commander-in -Chief went out in the Undine to inspect her a full hour before she anchored, and boarded her off Ryde. The Admiral mustered the crew, and exercised them in gunnery, which was very good. After inspect ing the vessel and complimenting the commander, the Admiral returned into harbour, and the Tartarus steam vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Coles, towed the Frolic in shortly after to land her freight. Commander Hamil ton is brother to the Second Secretary to the Admi ralty, and has had the Frolic since April, 1844, being her second commander. He will, however, doubtless be promoted. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, hauled off this morning from the dockyard jetty to the St. Vin cent's moorings, off Gosport, where she will refit for sea service. PLYMOUTH, JUNE s.—His Danish Majesty's corvette Flora, 20, Captain Ellbrecht, on a cruise from Copen hagen, arrived this morning in the Sound, and having fired a salute of 17 guns, was duly honoured by the like number from the Port-Admiral, Sir John West, at Mount Wise, and from the batteries at Plymouth citadel. The Flora will probably remain here several days; she has on board a number of young officers, who have joined the corvette for the purpose of obtaining a prac tical knowledge of their profession. Her Majesty's steamer Confiance, J. Jago master, left on Thursday evening for Helston, vid Helford, with a captain, lieutenant, and 60 men of the sth Royal Fusi liers, to quell the disturbances among the miners in that district. The Sybelle, new 36-gun frigate, from Pembroke, came in yesterday. The Growler steam-sloop arrived this morning from Portsmouth. CAATHAM.—On Saturday afternoon, the sth instant, the Black Eagle steam yacht, Master-Commander S. S. Cook, arrived opposite the Dockyard, and disembarked the First Secretary to the Admiralty, Mr. Henry G. Ward, M.P., with several other gentlemen ; and on their landing at the Queen's-stairs they were met by several of the head officers of Chatham Dockyard, and after proceeding over the yard and visiting several of the departments, they returned on board the Blaek Eagle and proceeded to Sheerness, for the purpose of in specting the Dockyard battalion at that place. This morning (Monday, the 7th instant) a detach ment of Chelsea out-pensioners from Tilbury Fort arrived at St. Mary's Barracks, Brompton ; it consisted of I sergeant •major, 3 sergeants, and 76 rank and file. These veterans are to remain in quarters at this depot, for the purpose of being instructed in field operations under Colonel Sir Frederick Smith, K.H., of the Royal Engineers. Their instructions are to extend for one month ; they will then embark as volunteers to New Zealand. PUBLIC DINNER.—The Chairman and gentlemen of Lloyd's Committee for the Registry of British and Foreign Shipping entertained a distinguished party at the Brunswick Hotel, Blackwell, yesterday (Monday), Mr. Thomas Chap man in the chair. Amongst these present were—the Right Hon. G. R. Dawson, Admiral Dundas, Sir John Pelly, Mr. J. Masterman, ALP.; Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P. ; Mr. George Palmer, M.P. ; Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P.; Mr. A. Chapin-in, M.P.; Mr. George Hudson, M.P.; the Hon. H. P. Liddell, M.P.; Mr. Thomas Tooke, Mr. T. A. Hankey, Mr. J. D. Powles, and Mr. Charles Dickens. The arrange ments were excellent, and gave great satisfaction. REPORTED MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—We are requested to state that a rumour which has appeared in se- veral of the public papers relating to an intended marriage between the Marquis of Chandos and the daughter of Sir James Weir Hogg, Bart., is wholly devoid of foundation. We have numerous accounts of the spread of the potato disease. Parties at Limerick write--" We look upon the potato crop as lost." From Waterford it is observed— " The accounts of potato rot continue, but they are not so numerous as last week. It should be borne in mind that at this time last year there was scarcely any evidence of the disease." At Gloucester, whence we gave an unfavourable report a few days back, its ravages are said to be extending. From Dublin, however, one party, apparently in total dis regard of the statements just made at the Agricultural Im provement Society, seems determined to put a brighter face upon the matter :—" The reports circulated." he says, " of our potato crop being destroyed in many parts of the coun try, from every , inquiry I have made, are without founda tion." In the London corn market this morning the present dry condition of the weather was stated to have operated un favourably upon the growing crops of oats, beans, and peas. —Times, City article. EDINBURGH AND HAWICK RAILWAY.—The works on the railway in the vicinity of this town (Galashieb) are fast progressing. The station-house is being put up rapidly, some parts of it being ready for the roof. The building is very handsome, and promises to be a great ornament to the locality. We observe that a new railway station has been opened in the vicinity. The foundation stone of the main pier of the bridge across the Tweed, about two miles below the town, was laid on Wednesday afternoon, in presence of the company's engineer, and Mr. Dodds the contractor. Great pains were taken to have it properly founded upon the solid rock. There is every appearance of them getting on rapidly with the bridge, owing to the weather being so fine. The works on other parts of the line are all in a forward state.—Border Watch.

INQUEST ON AN EX-BOW-STREET OFFICER.—An inquest was held by Mr. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, at the George, Kingston Hill, on Saturday evening, upon the body of Francis Howell, formerly a well known Bow • street officer, who has been residing at Kingston upon a pension, granted him , for his services for a great many years, who cut his throat on the 24th of May, under the fol lowing circumstances :—lt appeared that the deceased lived with his son, Aaron Howell, and one of his grandchildren, in a cottage at Coombe Warren, near Kingston, and on the day in question he sent his grand-daughter to the George for a bottle of ginger beer, and he took the opportunity afforded by her absence to inflict a severe wound upon his throat, and he also cut the joint of his left arm, and upon the return of the grand daughter with the ginger beer she found him covered with blood. Dr. Cox, a surgeon, residing in the vicinity, speedily attended, and upon examination he found that the wound was three inches long, but not very deep, and the windpipe was slightly notched. He put some questions to the deceased, but he gave no answer, and he was in general very morose and sullen, and, owing to some inju ries he had received on his head in the performance of his duty, he was at times very violent, and he never considered him to be perfectly sane, although there was nothing in his conduct to justify his being placed under restraint. The me dical gentleman further stated that the deceased was labour ing under general debility, and could not have lived much longer; and he said that although the injury inflicted by the deceased upon himself might have hastened that event, he did not consider it was the actual cause of death. The Co roner having asked the witness for a further explanation upon this point, he said that, from the state of disease in which the deceased was, he could not have lived long; but the loss of blood caused hn death to happen sooner by a few days than it otherwise would. The Coroner having addressed the jury, they returned a verdict that " The deceased died a natural death, which was accelerated by the infliction of a severe wound upon his neck, by himself, while in a state of temporary insanity."

John Stewart, Esq., was at eight .O'clock called to the Mr. DAVID SaLomoNs came forwar d to address th e ce chair. meeting, and was _received with great a k nalause. The honourable candidate avowed himself the Lataurtila sup porter of civil and religious liberty. He eras the friend of education for the people, but whilst he thoug , ht that education should be supported by the State, he should have vote I, had be been ie Parliament, against ilia' mi nutes of Council, on the,ground that the Government had no right to teach religion, and that they should have extended the benefits to all,--(Cheers.) He tothiidered. that freedom of trade and commerce was the only thing that could maintain England as a great and enlightened nation, and that a poor-law for Ireland was the only means of permanently alleviatin g the distress of that c untry. He was opposed to the principle of central ization, and in favour of the principle of local self-govern ment.—(Cheers.) A* rumour had gone abroad that he (Mr. Salomons), if he were elected, was unable to take 'his seat in the House of Commons. He begged to assure the constituency of Marylebone that this was a mistake. They said he could not take the oaths. Why, he had already taken precisely the same oaths as high-she r iff of Middlesex, high-sheriff of Kent, an d as a jnstice of the peace.—(Cheers.) Blackstone bad l a id it down that every British-born subject, not disabled by special sta tute, was eligible to a seat in Parliament. Now, last year a Bill was passed called the Religious Opinions Bill, and that Bill repealed all the obsolete statutes which would have disqualified him —(Hear, hear.) Mr. &lemons further contended that he only stood in the same position as any other dissenter, and as ho was, as he believed, qualified in every way to represent that borough, h e earnest l y appealed to the electors for their support. In answer to questiots, Mr. SALOMONS exlressed him self a supporter of household suffrage, an opponent of church -rates., and •also of the continuance of the esta blished Protestant Church of Ireland. On the motion of B. B. WILLIAms, Esq., second( dby . Mr. Huns BIERS, a resolution, approving of Mr. Salo mons as a fit and proper candidate to represent the bo rough in Parliament, was adopted almost unanimously, amidst loud cheering, and thanks having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting separated. THE SALT TRADE. At a meeting of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, held at Northwich, on Saturday, the sth of June, it svas pro robed by Henry Ashton, Esq., of Liverpool, and seconded by George Ellens, Esq., of Droitwich, and un animously resolved— " 1. That it is the opinion of this meeting that the late enactment of the Bengal Government reducing, at only five days' notice, the rates at which they Sell their own salt, in a greater proportion than they have lowered the duty on British and Foreign imported salt, has been framed solely with the view of entirely excluding the manufacture of this country from tne Indian market ; and that such conduct on the part of the Bengal Go vernment, while it involves an admission of the severity of their previous exactions, is utterly unworthy of the local authorities. " 2. That the East India Company are acting in direct violation of their Charter, in continuing their manufac ture of salt, and trading in that article ; and that such manufacture an trad cannot now befended, ether on th e score of d e the uncertainty of the de British i and foreign supply, or the protection of the revenue. " 3. That the Chairman of the Cheshire and Worces tershire Salt Chamber of CornmPree be accordingly au thorised, on behalf of the salt trade of England, formally and eneagetically to protest to the Imperial Parliament of Great Britain; her Majesty's Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India ; and the Hon. the Court of Directors of the East India Company, against the conti nuance of such manutacture and sale of salt ; on the grounds of its inconsistency with the terms on which they hold the government of India, the injury it inflicts upon the natives of India, and the serious impediment it offers to the trade and manufacture of this country. " 4. That the sincerest thanks of the Salt Trade are due to Lord Sandon, M.P.; Sir Denis Le Marchant, M.P. ; Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P. ; Sir J. Packington, 11. P. ; Sir P. Egerton, M.P. ; the Hon. E. J. Stanley, M.P.; William Brown, Esq., M.P. ; William' Tatton Egerton, Esq , M.P. ; 'William Ewart, Esq., M.P. ; John Blackburn, Esq.. M.P. ; J. Tollemache, Esq., M.P. ; Cornwall Legh, Esq., M.P., for the support they have given the salt trade, and that they be respectfully re quested to continue to afford the benefit of their co operation towards the total and immediate destruction of the East India Company's salt monopoly. " W. WORTHINGTON, Chairman." .____ LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S PAR LIAMENTARY ELECTORS' BILL. This measure contains the following important pro visions :- Ist That all poor-rates and assessed taxes due on the fith January must b' paid before the 10th July following, to entitle any person to be registered, and that a-personal demand must be made within the time specified by the authorized collector. The presentl aw requires the rates and taxes due on the 6th April, to be paid by 20th July. 2rl. That no person shall be disqualified by ivasoia of not being rated, provided he have claimed to be rated previous to the making of the second rate in the electoral year, and that such claim may be served on the overseer at his house, or by post, as provided by the Registration Act. By the Reform Act, as interpreted by the Judges of Common Pleas, every claimant must repeat his claim to be rated to every rate from which he is omitted. 3d. That the overseer shall rate such claimant on the existing and all future rates, but that occupiers so claim ing may deduct from the rent only so much as the landlord may have previously compounded for. 4th. That every overseer who shall neglect to put upon the rate the name of every claimant, or to keep his name upon each following rate during his occupation, shall be liable to a penalty of 5/. Under the present law and practice, overseers omit the names of claimants from all rates with impunity. sth. That any collector who shalt 'neglect to demand the rates or taxes with the intent to 'enable any person to bt , registered without paying the same, shall be liable to a penalty of 20/. The HobarttTown papers whiclihave come to hand reach to the 4th of February. They quote wheat 4s. to 4s. Id. per bushel, with a steady market. The Launceston price was 3s. 6d. to 4s. The value of flour in both places was the same, viz. 101. per ton. Affairs in a political point of view appear to have varied little since the previous advises. From Portland Bay favourable accounts had been received of the commencement of the harvest, which, it was thought, 'would prove abundant. PORT OF BIDEFORD.—The Lords of the Treasury having been pleased by their order, recently issued, to ap prove of Bideford as a port for the warehousing of tobacco removed coastwise from the ports of importation for home use, or for shipment as stores, upon proper premises being provided, and the ComrnissiorAts of the Customs having ap proved of premises fur the purpose, an order has been issued to the principal officers of the revenue throughout the king dom to take measures fur carrying their Lordships' order into effect. MANSLAUGLITER.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. William Baker, at the Black Horse, School-house lane, Ratcliff, on the body of Ann Ford, aged forty-six years, who died on Sunday morning last from the effects of severe injuries she received from a man named Henry Jones Har rison, with whom she cohabited, on the night of Saturday, the 15th of last month. The man is in custody, and was remanded by Mr. Ballantine, at the Thames Police-court, on Wednesday last, on a charge of assaalting and wounding the deceased. Inspector Bilson deposed that, Ball dyingnt i n w e, o m h e a n t oo a n k d t h i e n i n prisoner a e s n Harrison e . a down in writing. The tot t a r u d i h e c e t i d s s t as from t d e e m of e ' t„rt ewwhich he took , inspector then put in the declaration. It stated in effect that Harrison came home drunk on the night of the 15th of May, and beat and kicked her in a very brutal manner. The de claration was signed by the deceased. The Coroner said he deeply regretted that the usual course had not been followed on this occasion, and that Mr. Ballantine, the magistrate, had not taken the evidence of the woman upon oath, in the presence of Harrison, which he ought to have done. He did not think he could receive the statement of the woman now produced by the inspector as her dying declaration. Similar evidence to that given before the magistrate having been adduced, the Coroner summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Henri Jones Harrison." MR. CHILDS, OF BU NGAY, ON SUNDAY TRAINS.— Mr. John Childs, of Bungav, whose services in the cause of religion and of religious liberty need no mention or lauda tion, says, in a letter to a friend in Edinburgh :—" I perceive that the bigoted ( ?) directors of the Scottish railroads have stopped the trains on the first day of the week, just as w if h tter i th a a i t s I—reading the Scriptures for myself, insisting in which the had a right to prescribe the day and the m . anue t r n right of private judgment—am bound to keep the Pharisees as they . are!" ai l l f y e a lr. oo e se li s il s as ab la bof ad th k as now th n e more e a v b e o n u t o th ei e r se ch d a ir , r e m ct a o n rs— g day for travelling—he would einferhe :dot known, ,or spoken instance , o the m "bigots," but as something much less respectable.—Scots • man.

GLASGOW COTTON MARKET , JUNE 4, 1847.—in the early part of the week there was a very large business done in cotton, both by the trade and speculators, and an advance of *d. per lb. was obtained in American descriptions. since that the business has not been quite so large, bet holders are very firm.—National Advertiser. • . GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—During the past week prices have slightly Cvanced from the very low rates to which they had been reduced by the scarcity of money. The last two days,' prices have been nominally 655. per ton, f. o. b., for Mix( d Nos. As the makers hive not come into the market, the quantity of iron that can be offered is but limited ; and as the deliveries exceed the production, there is good reason to expect a still farther rise in the prices.— Aatiossal Advertiser. ~.
