This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, (tc. A traffic arrangement for a term of years has been entered into with the Eastern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Com pany, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion, as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. The town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its po'rt is the most convenient for direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thenc3 to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Dutch-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of corn. pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of access in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time Is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours ; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and'thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

(Prom the Manchester Guardian.) Miss Catherine Hayes gave the first of two concerts, in the Free trade Hall, on Thursday evening. The immense hall was well filled, with a most respectable audience ; and certainly its walls never before echoed to such genuinely enthusiastic plaudits and cheers, as bestowed upon any individual artiste or performauce. Miss Cath er i ne H ayes took her farewell of Manchester in August, 1851, very shortly before starting for America ; the high estimation that had been here formed of her talents being shown by -the audiences that crowded the old . Free-trade Hall on th e occasion of those parting performances. - Since that time, she has voyaged roan the globe, singing in ,all parts of the United States, in California (we b e li eve ), i n A ustralia, in the E ist Indies, and elsewhere; her pre hes have been soueded in varying styles and differing laegnamee, but they have al ways been of the highest. Now after many a tour through Ireland (her native country) and Scotland, she is once more atuoneet us; and she showed last evening, in the most unmistakable style, that the latest and loudest praises bestowed upon her, have been fully de served. Her five years' travel, and the arduous profes sional duties through which she has pissed, here not —if we can trust our memory--prejudicially affected, in the slightest degree, the quality of her voice or her artiste skill. Indeed, while we write, wu feel a certainty that she never sang, with a more charming naturalness or greater power than last evening ; and we are almost tempted to be lieve that her voice has become even more mellow and sym pathetic than ever. It is not difficult to decide why Cathe rine Hayes bee been and is so triumphantly successful, espe cially in ballads—a class of music that always mud tell, even.upon the 'most cultivated minds, musically speaking, and which witlethe uncultivated is the class that represents the power of music, seeing that it embodies that form of expressing natural feelings and emotions which must be the most direct in its course to the human heert. She is suc cessful because she is natural ; because her nature is keenly sensitive and rightly impulsive ; because, with the whole power of her mind, she seems to throw herself into what she has to do; and because, for her object, elm has an irresistible instrument—a voiceat once sweet,mellew,round, and pewer ful,thoroughlysympathetic,admirably cultivate 1, and under the most perfect control. With an ability to execute the ornamentationsand frivolities of musical composition, which might be envied by a French prima donna, sho is never tempted to blemish a ballad by shakes, runs, or tricks of any kind ; what she believes to be the sentiment or the feeling that the composer had or ought to have had, that alone sho_ strives to realise for herself and her audience. Thus, last evening, she held the audience entranced by the fervid pathos with which she s-nt forth the Irish melody, "'The harp that once, through Tara's halls ;" it was a richly musical wail, the remembrance of which will long haunt in to many who heard it. And thus, too, she called tears many an eye, from the exquisite beauty and force which she imparted to Bishop's simple " Home ! sweet home !" The rebound of the audience, when the ballad terminated, was merely natural; and their enthusiasm was at the highest. 'Ye regret that she did not repeat the ballad ; but she sub stituted " Comin' thro' the rye," and gave it with so much naïveté, that she was compelled, after retiring, again to appear and ackno w l e d ge th e pl au dit s o f the audience, who rose almost en masse. She was of course encored in the Irish melody ; an d f or it s h e su b s tit u t e d " B onn i e Prince Charlie." We did not hear her first solo, which was Mey erbeer's " Ah! mon fits;" but her other operatic selection was the "Costa Diva," which es as rendered very finely. Another performance of Miss Hayes' remains to be noticed —a vocal polka by Alary. It was wonderful as a triumph over difficulties ; very pleasant hem the jocund ease with which the most trying runs and flights were taken; and remarkable, alike with the " Heine! sweet home!" as showing the great compass of her voice.

Henry Broome, "champion of all England," was placed at the bar of the Southaurpt3n Petty Sessions, charged with fighting in the High-street. Mr. Pocock, for the defendant, asked who was the prosecutor ? No ono appeared, and he then asked for the party who took him into custody. P. S. Ralfe stepped forward. Mr. Pocock—Are you the prosecutor ? Ralfe— I him into custody. Mr. Pocock—Did he strike you ? Ralfe—No. Mr. Pocock—Then you can't prosecute. It is a most serious charge, and notwithstanding the gene ral assiduity of the police they have in this case overstepped their duty. I can show by act of Par liament that it was not only lawful but laudable to defend themselves with their fists, instead of using cowardly weapons. This announcement seemed to surprise all in Court, and in the absence of any prosecutor, the defendant was discharged, amidst the chtors of those " waiting at Court !"--Poole Herald.

His appear ance much resembled the description of the man who shot and robbed Mr. Ovenden, at Reigate, last week. At the rerrest of the police, he has, therefore, been de tainer. Mr. Ovenden remains, we regret to learn, in a very precarious state, as the ball has not yet been ex tracted.

The steam-ship Kangaroo, Captain Jeffrey, for Liver pool, left the wharf, foot of Queen-street, at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, assisted by the City ice boat, and both proceeded down the river in handsome style." There is little doubt that the steamer was de tained somewhere below in the river, as there is no notice from New York on the 7th (when the Arago and New York ls ft) of her getting to sea. At all events she may be expected every tide] A FEMALE GAOLER.—John Lewis, charged with breaking into the house of Miss Mansell, Manorbear, was confined in the Pembroke lock up, under the care of Mrs. Thomas, to await his trial. The prisoner, during his confinement, was remarkably still, seldom speaking a word. The prison being cold, Mrs. Thomas lighted a fire for the prisoner, and tried to make him as comfort able as possit le. a Tuesday, the 3d of February, Mr. Thomas was obliged to leave home. All that morning, the prisoner appeared a xceedingly thoughtful, and moved seldom. Mrs. Thomas sent ber little girl to inquire of the prisoner if more coal was wanted for the fire. The prisoner answered in the affirmative. Mrs. Thomas ac cordingly took some coal to put upon the fire ; and on going into the cell, she mechanically took the key from the outside of the gate, placed it inside, and locked the gate from within. Wben she was in the act of putting the coal on the fire, the prisoner Lewis sprang to the gate, and got outside. Mrs. Thomas seized him at the gate, and clung to him ; and, whilst the prisoner was trying to reach the street door, he threw her down in the passage. The prisoner opened the street door, but Mrs. Thomas still held to his collar, and likewise to the hair of his head. The prisoner hurried Mrs. Thomas into the street, for the attempt to shake her off was vain. They both fell, rolling into the mud. Several persons were looking on, but, so sudden and strange was the affair, that they did not understand it, and thus left Mrs. Thomas to grapple with the prisoner for some time ; but sbe never left bold of the prisoner from the time be sprang out of the gate until he was safely put back.—Haver fordicest Telegraph.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this un dertaking was held at York yesten'ay. 11. S. THOMPSON, , the chairman, moved the adoption of the revrt, which has already appeared in our columns. In the ceurge of his sp eec h h e o b serve d that, in deasrieg a dividend Of not more than 4i and 31 per cent. upon the Dirwlck and York r-ections reTec- Lively, the direct ra were influenced chiefly by the fact, that a censiderable amount had been credited this half year to revenue for interest on unproductive works, espe cially the Auckland branch, which was now open for mineral traffic. All matters in dispute as be tTeee the crlinary and preferetee shareholders in the Leeds section were at an end. Tois, bo r ._ ever, was not al. The directors were enabled not merely to declare- the dividends be bad mentioned, but they had male proviion for contingenci s to an extent which must he cenFiltred very eat'sfactcry, as putting the property on a sound footing. On the bad debt fund they wore accumulating a very nice reserve, and they were adding half-yearly such an amount for fire insur ance as would enable them in a few years much to di minish the. amount paid in this respect. There was every reason to believe that the Atte:land branch would ultimately prove a profitable one. The time had not yet arrived when the capital aocmnt of the company could be closed, inasmuch as constant demands were be ing made upon the directors for increased traffic accom modation. The report was adopted with but one dissentient— Mr. Simms. GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTFORD. At the hall-yearly meeting held yesterday at Feadall'a Hotel, Viscount Wier.; in the chair, The report, read by Mr. Eli-y, the Secretary, stated that the progress which was being made in the construc- tion of the railway and docks was satisfactory. Toe greater portion of land through which the line passed had been purchased, and the directors had, with one or two exceptions, been met in a liberal spirit by the seve ral landowner 3. The acciunts showed total receipts on capital to the extent of 51,6481., of which 32,610/. bad been transferred to construction account, whilst 19,1381. was still in course of receipt on shares. The total construction ac count exhibited on the debit silo 33,5261., of which 28,7501 had been expended in purchase of land, con struction of works, engineer, law, office expenses, and similar items, leaving a present balance of 4,7761. The report was unanimously adopted. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. The twenty-second ordinary hsl'-yearly meeting of the above company was held yesterday at the Easton-sta tion ; Sir U.

Bi. The dividends paid during the six months amount to 24,8491. 16 5d., leaving a balance of 6041. 16s. 33. to be carried to the next ac count. The next dividend will be payable at the coin pany's bankers on the 28th Feb. NORTH DEVON. The directors state that the contractor has been ful'y paid and satisfied, under the award of the chairman, accepted by all parties. The task has been performed by Mr. Tice, without charge to the company. The traffic of the line now averages about 921. a week more than it did in the lent months of 1855. The sum applic able to dividends fcr the half-year is 2,7511. 7s. 3d. The dividends proposed are nt the same rate as those paid for the preceding halt-year, viz., 14- per cent, per annum on ordinary stock ; 21 per cent, per annum on B stock ; and 61. per cent. per an nu tn, on the Preference stock and shares ; leaving a balance of 141. lls. sd. to be carried forward.

The directors of this company propose at the ensuing meeting tl declare a dividend of 2/. on the 100/. stock of the company, being at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum.

LUND HILL, FRIDAY AFTERgOON, 1 Later inquiries confirm and amplify the horrible details already given. In some instances the whole of the male members of a family have been swept away—father and two or three sons. There is scarcely a household in the neigh bourhood which has not been made desolate. The brave men who risked their lives to rescue those who had escaped death in the pit, were Mr. Coe (underground steward in the pit), John Warhurst (foreman), William Bevors, Mr. Webster (manager of the Hoyland and Elsecar Colliery), Mr. Maddison, John Hoyland (foreman of Raw marsh Colliery), Benjamin Hoyland (foreman of barley Main Colliery), John and James Ellis,--Wilcock, \Villiam Duck worth (of Wombwell), James Cookson (of Hoyland Col liery), and James Warris. Although the explosion occurred soon aft er noon the descent was not possible till four. The gearing used for the descent had been destroyed by the explo sion ; and though the most strenuous exertions were made to put it right, they dill not succeed till the time mentioned, when Mr. Coe ' Warhurat, and Bevors, got into a " corf," and proceeded on their Perilous journey into the pit. Before they had gone far they heard the noise of a slight explosion in the pit ; but they proceeded till they found that the lining of the shaft had been so discomposed by the explosion that further progress was impossible. They returned to the mouth of the pit, and the efforts of all were now directed to getting the lining in order. In about 20 minutes everything was ready to descend, and they went down again, and arrived in safety at the bottom, followed by the other men. These brave fellows spent nearly an hour in exploring the pit ; and they did not quit their task till they saw indications of immi nent danger. They explored the pit to within about forty yards of the extremity of the northern level—a distance of about 400 yards. They also traversed about 20 or 30 yards of the southern level ; but at this point they wore stopped bytbe fire which had broken out as one of the results of the explosion. They went far enough, however, to ascertain that a bed of coal, comprising an area of fifty or sixty yards, was in flames. They discovered, however, that nineteen human beings were still alive, all near the working shaft. These were immediately taken to the mouth of the pit, and conveyed to their homes. It is believed that none of them are fatally injured. The explorers found ten corpses on the northern side of the pit. These were blackened by the explosion, and fear fully mutilated, evidently having been driven with great violence against the displaced masses of coal. Soveu of these bodies were brought to the bottom of the working shaft, but the explorers had not time to remove any of the others before they found it necessary to quit the pit. The decision that was come to by the proprietors to stop up the pit while so many person s rema i ne d i n i t was not ar rived at without the most anxious and prolonged delibera tion. Had it been delayed longer, there was danger of the fire spreading and burning with such intensity as to cause the fall of the bed of coal and superincumbent earth, and the consequent falling in of th e s h afts. Had this been allowed, probably none of the bodies would ever have been recovered, but as it is, the fire havinz been checked in time, a large number of the bodies will be got out nnburnt. It is hardly necessary to add that there was not the slightest possibility of any of those iu the pit being alive when the stopping up was decided on. In the meantime the fire is still raging in the interior of the pit. The stopping it up and preventing the access of air will of course check, and probably in time extinguish, the conflagration. For the present nothing can be done but to wait the result of the experiment. At a meeting of practical men connected with mines, held this morning, those present expressed their unanimous opinion that the stopping up of the pit last night was the most judicious course under the circumstances.

W. Carden, in patty sessions, charged with having stolen the movements of a watch, valued at 10. 1 ., belonging to his employer. Toe prisoner, who pleaded guilty to the charge, and who seemed over p owere d w i th gr i ef, handed in the fol lowing written it itenaent in mitigation of punishment : ' "May it please this worshipful court to hear try have a wife (Er advanced in pregnancy), to whom this shock may prove fatal. I have alio seven children, the youngest about two years old, the el ler of the number about eighteen. At the time I made use of the property for which I am tried I had two children in bad health, one of them afflicted with scrofula in the left hand, the other au affection of the lung.. I was advised by Mr. Coulson, of the Old Jewry, and Mr. Bateman, of Islington, to send them to the Margate Infirmary. I got forms filled up by the churchwarden of the parish (Islington), and sent my wife down to make further in quiry. Site learned that the youngest could not be ad mitted, on account of her age, but as out-door patient. Having another little girl, I thought it would be as cheap for her to take lodgings down there, and take charge of the three youngest, as for me to pay a person down there for their board, lodging, and attendance. It was done. I put the two elder girls out to service, and I and my two boys took one room, and gave up the apartments we occupied. I wanted a little money to start them. I applied to a loan-office, but could not suc ceed, and had to resort to the means which have brought me here, knowing it would be but a temporary thing; but, from disappeintment in money, it unfortunately was discovered bt fore I could redeem it. The expenses at Margate and at home swal owed up my earnings. My child had her finger amputated, and was recovering. I was in a fair way of getting the property back, but Pro vidence ordained it otharivise. For the sake of my family I plead for as merciful a view of my case as justice will a?l,ivr. By granting my prayer, your peti tioner will ever pray. (Signed) " CHARLES EVERAD."

CLERKE NWE fda. —THE UNEKPLOTED.—In the course of the day the man Bryant, who acts as the leader and spokesman to the unemployed, entered the court in a hurried manner, and, addressing Mr. Tyrwhitt, said he had to complain of the report which appeared in the newspapers of that day, which contradicted one whioh bad preriou.ly appeared, giving a correct and impartial one in several prints. He here handed in a letter containing the two differ ent reports, which were perused by Mr. Tyrwhitt atten tively. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no control over the press. Magistrates, as well as reporters, were often found fault with, but they tried to please all to the best of their power, no doubt. He really thought the reports were very fair. Bryant was proceeding to make further remarks, when Mr. Tyrmhitt told him that he had tothirg to do with the matter. Bry tint said he had been to see Mr. Birchmore, who denied having used some expressions attributed to him in the report of yesterday, and he was addressing him- self to the reporter, who retnirded him that he was making amnions in the absence of Mr. Birchrnore and that the rep,rt was accurate. The Papers were handed back to Bryant, who said the nnerupl ,yed deserved sympathy and assistance, and ar rangements were making to collect a public subscription on their behalf, which he bad no doubt would be re. sponded to. Mr. T yrwhitt—Probibly so. That is another thing, but I hare nothing to do with the matter. " Bryant left th e court with a person who bad accom panied him, saying I wish to h npress on the reporter, " but the remainder of the sentence was last LAMBETH. —EMBEZZLEMENT BY A CONFIDENTIAL CLERK —Ruisell Pearce, a young man of respectable appearance, who has been a confidential clerk in the employment of Mr. C),ke, an auctioneer, in the Wea•- minster-road, was placed at the bar, before the lion. G. C. Norton, on a charge of embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employer, and appropriating them to his own use. Mr. Cooke, the prosecutor, said he was not only pained, but surprised, at the position in which the pri boner had placed himself, as he had been in his service when he had been of to proceed against another young man in his employ, who had robbed him of 150/., and since then had gone over the books with him for the purpose of detecting another person who had also at tempted to lob him, and it therefore pained him (Mr. Cooke) to find that the prisoner had so committed him self. Mr. Norton observed that it was perfectly lamentable ti) find the growing evil of dishonesty among servants. From the most confidential to the most humble, all seemed to be going on wrong. Mr. Cooke said the friends of the prisoner were most respectable persons, and for their sakes, and not for his, he should be willing, with his worship's sanction, to forego a prosecution, provided ho should be protected from an action for false imprisonment. Mr. Norton replied that an action under the circum. stances was quite out of the question, and A Solicitor, who attended on the prisoner's behalf, said he would pledge his word that no action should be brought. 116. Norton thought a short imprisonment would do the prisoner no harm, and he should remand him for a week to giva time to the prosecutor to ascertain the ex tent of his defalcations. The prisoner was remanded accordingly. THE CASE OF T. F.

While there it was observed that his speech became muffled, and his clerks being alarmed, sent for medical aid. His case was considered highly dangerous, and he was removed to his residence, where he died shortly after midnight. It is thought probable that he ruptured a small vessel on the brain by the fall, and that this acted on a predisposed bad state of health and caused his death. ,1
