ON. VON EVEN] G, AUGUST 11 P 1647. 14 COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen held a Pri;Y 7 &neil at one o'clock yes terday afternoon, at Osborne, Isle of Wight. It was attended by his Royal Highmi-ss Piece Albert, the Lord Chancellor, the F.rst Lord of the Treasury, the Secre taries of State for the Foreign and .Colonial Depart ments, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and the Master of the Horse. Her Majesty in Council was pleased to order that Parliament should be prorogued until the 12th of October. Mr. C. Greville was thJ Clerk of the Council in Waiting. The Lord Chancellor, Earl Grey, and Lord Campbell, arrived at Gosport by a special train on the South- Western Railway, and, in company with the Earl of Auckland, crossed to the Isle of Wight in the Black Eagle, and arrived at Osborne soon after one o'clock. After the Privy Council, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Auckland, Viscount Palmerston, and Lord Campbell, took their departure from Osborn , and re-crossed to Gosport in the Black Eagle. The Iltrl of Auckland re mained at Gosport: the other Ministers left by a special train on the South-Western Railway. Earl Grey and Lord John Russell remained at Os borne, on a visit to the Queen. The royal dinner party at Osborne on Monday in cluded his Serene Highness the Prince of Leinin‘Yen, Count Mensdorff, the Rill of Liverpool, Lord John Russell, and Colonel and Lady Catherine Harcourt. Msd,rnoisell , Jenny Lind, Mrs. Anderson, and Signor Lablache, had tha honour of attending at Osborne in the evening. Mademoiselle Jenny Lind and Signor Lablache sang several airs and duets, accompanied on the piano forte by Mrs. Andera , on. Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, her Majesty and Prince Albert let o,borne, and embarked on the Fairy, to inspect the Russian vessels. STRAND THEATRE. A dramatic ver:;:on of Dickens's popular work of "Dombey and Son," was produced at this little theatre on Monday evening, with complete success. It is from the pen of Mr. C. P. Taylor. The dialogue of the work is very closely followed, and the situations tell admirably. It would be needless to repeat the plot, as that must be familiar to most of our readers— as far as the work is published. Mr. C. Williams sustained the character of Mr. Dombey very credit ably. Mr. H. Reeves, as Mr. Carker, was good, as also was the Sol Gills of Mr. Ayliffe ; Walter Gay, of Mr. Tyrrell ; Captain Cuttle, of Mr. Rogerson ; the Charitable Grinder, of Mr. A. Richardson. Miss M. Atkins, as Edith Granger, was excellent. The character of Florence Dombey was very beautifully sustained by Miss Coleman ; the conception of the character by this young lady was very correct, and the tears of the audience attested the truthfulness of her acting—all felt for the poor, rigleetcd, yet beautiful, Florence Dombey. It would be unjust to omit to notice the acting of Mr. H. Cooper, as Mrs. Brown—good Mrs. Brown—it was a picture true to life. The different tableaux were very well, managed, and were rewarded by repeated rounds of applause. The best were, " Father and Daughtor," " The Christening Party," " Dombey introducing his Daughter," "The Rescue of the Charitable Grinder" —indeed all were good. The piece was well put upon the stage, and was given out for repetition every evening. The ballet of Spirits and Water followed, in which Miss Gilbert, and her clever pupil (Miss Louisa Coleman) danced very gracefully. The house was crowded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Manchester Examiner of Tuesday.) The weather having been lowering and occasionally wet in the neighbourhood of Manchester during the last two days, and still showery this morning, the anxiety of the commercial classes to know how the agricultural dis tricts were affected, led us to inquire if the Electric Telegraph was yet extended far enough from Manches ter to ohtai❑ information from the eastern counties. By the prompt attention of Mr. Cox, the superintendent, inquiries were made at the following places; and answers were returned which we append:— Normanton—fine. Dc,rhy—very dull. York —fine. Leeds—firm. Nottingham—no rain, but dull and cold. Rugby—rain. Lincol❑—moderately fine. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, half-past twelve—fine. Scarborough, quarter to one—fine. Rochdale, one o'clock—fair. A glance at the map of England will show that the weather is fine in the chief districts of agriculture east and north of the midlands. DEATH OF SIR J. HAMET, GENT.—This gentle man, who was employed in the year 1831 as a member of the medical commission .in Germany, died a few days since at Frankfort-on-the-Maine. He was a naval medical officer of some standing, and in the January of 1845 was appointed to the office of Deputy Inspector of Hospitals. DUEL BETWEEN Two SAILORS.--A conflict of a most sanguinary and savage character took place on Sunday evening last, near the Dingle, Lancashire, be: tween two Neapolitan sailors. From some inquiries made in the neighbourhood we have been enabled to ga e th e er the following particulars:—About five o'clock in standin g th in the road which leads towards the Dingle; perfectly nth s e ob g e a r r , b a o n f d sa o il n or g s ( , )o w d ere observed nthoetyh nature ivanepg w npi teanoasgorintended, i green, i place to indicate that anything o te f r a m h s o , who was passing a short distance from the r e o n ad saw the eamshort time, however, a per sa s tni o ld n e in a en h d ol e lo n w g , o o in r g ex u ca p vation, ascer tained that they were ee just terminating a duel, which had then engaged with I'llatrwo of them. The combatants were been fought between have been a most gas seconds. The contest must oovered with desperateblood, having one, as the men were almost appeared to be acting clasp about the head and face, and received several wounds knives, and the other four other parts of the body. We understand that e' un p d olice-officer was at hand and that all the partienstohretired immediately after the duellists, it appears, was although where he now lies in occurrence. One of taken to the Southern H o e s a dangerous state, reach of recovery. He has once °considered beyond the head, and one of his arms, near thre two wounds on the to pieces, so much so that amputation is almost cut be necessary. His opponent made his way the d limb Rill vessel to which he belonged, at the Princ's down Dock and the his condition being ascertained, he was sent in a car td o the Northern Hospital. He has a wound on t h e side tot the head, running in an oblique direc t ion under the chin, 1 about seven or eight inches in length ; it is of consi- derable depth, and the head is partially severed from the body ; the jugular vein has, however, escaped with only a slight scratch. He has other injuries on the neck and arms, and when brought to the hospital presented a frightful spectacle ; his recovery is considered doubtful. The two men, whose names we have not been able to ascertain, are sailors, and belong to the ship Regina Cceli; it is supposed they had quarreled on board ship, and had, after the custom of their own country, resorted to this method of settling their dispute. Neither of them can speak a word of English. The knives used on the occasion were sailors' clasp knives, but unlike those in use by our English seamen, having long blades, and pointed. The police are on the alert to discover the men who acted as seconds on the occasion, so that some light may be thrown en the affair, and the guilty par ties brought to justice. _MUNIFICENT DONATION.—The managers of the House of Recovery, at Paisley, have had in contemplation the converting of that establishawat from a mere fever hospital to a regular infirmary, for the admission of people suffering from every description of disease. At the time these proposals were. first brought before the public, Mr. Hastie intimated that as soon as the three trs sv,ass prepared to ga into the contempiated altera tion, he would present them with 3001. to assist them. Without waiting for week transmitted the 3001. he had previously ' previously promised, and generously added another 2004 • to 4.—Scotch Paper, THE GENERAL ELECTION CORNWALL (EAST).

The half-yearly meeting' of the shareholders of this company was held to-day at their offices, 61, Moor gate-street; Mr. Thomas, the deputy-chairman, in the absence of the chairman,. took the chair. After the usual preliminaries, The'SECRETARY read the directors' report, of which the following " is an afistract : Af:er lamenting the occurrence of the accident at the Dee-bridge in May last, the report proceeded to ex amine the principles upon which the stupendoes bridges intended to span -the Conway and the Menai Straits are now being carried out. The shareholders are aware that those bridges differ altogether, both in their mode of constructiqu and their. materials (which are exclu sively wrought iron), from that which has unhappily failed near Chester. Still it cannot but be expected that the strength and safety of the novel and remarkable structures that are contemplated will be subjected to strict investigation. - So far as those inquiries have hitherto prcc: eded the result, your directors arc assured, has given the utmost confidence in the success of the proposed plan. It will be brought to a practical - test when the bridge over the Conway is erected, which will be within three months from this time : and your direc tors have the fullest confidence that the issue will be such as completely to justify the expectations of Mr. Stephenson. • ' " The accounts laid before you will confirm what Mr. Stephenson has stated as to the activity displayed by the contractors during the last six months, the average expenditure for each month having been 90,9161. Even this average, however, will be considerably exceeded in the present half-year,. owing to the progress which is now being made in the tubular bridges—the completion, during that period, of most of the road contracts and, station buildings'—and the winding up of most of the accounts connected therewith. The monthly expendi ture, from the Ist of July to the 31st of December of the present year, is estimated to amount to 120,0001. " Your directors have been desirous to relieve the shareholders, as much as possible, from any calls upon them during the late period of depression; and they have been assisted in their measures to that end by the London and North-Western Railway Company, who have paid a part of their calls in advance, and have agreed so to pay the remainder. In future, however, it will be, necessary to make the calls at shorter intervals. "The Mold Railway . project, which, as an auxiliary to your line, was favourably reported upon by the directors in February, 1845, was brought forward last year by an independent company,. and, at the recommendation of your directors to the shareholders at the last half-yearly general meeting ; it was resolved that this company should take an interest-therein to the extent of 30,0001., being one-sixth of the share capital; the Chester and Birken head, and Birkenhead, Lance/shire, and Cheshire Junction Companies, having also taken a share interest to the extent of 20,0007. each. Your directors have now to an nounce that the Bill authorising the construction of the Mold Railway has received the Royal assent. "Your directors have prosecuted the Bills to which you gave your approval in February last, in order to obtain legal sanction for the arrangement with her Ma jesty's Government, under which this company is to contribute, on the stipulated conditions, 200,0001. towards the formation of 'a Harbour of Refuge, and Packet Har bour Pier, at Holyhead. The construction of the harbour by her Majesty's Government, and the carry ing out of the arrangement in question in its full in tegrity, have now been rendered obligatory upon both parties by legislative enactment. " The portion of the Bill authorising the completion of the communication between the capitals of the two islands, by means of steam-boats to be established and maintained by this company, remains for the present in abeyance; but your directors feel confident that they shall succeed in obtaining the powers necessary for this important end next session. After a lengthened inves tigation before the Select COmmittee to which the Bill was referred, in Consequence of the combined opposition of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, the Steam Ship Owners' .Association, and the General Steam Navigation Company—(all of whom were repre sented by counsel)—in the course of which the merits: of the case, and the 'reason why this company were seeking the powers in question, were most thoroughly sifted—the Cot 3tnittee came - to the unanimous conclu sion to report to the House, that they "had heard evi dence at great lengtlitipon ; the subject of permitting the railway company to embark capital in steam-boats, and are of opinion that in the present case it is essential for the interests of the public ' . that the powers sought by the Bill for the purpose should be conferred." But as the Committee on the Holyhead Harbour (Government) Bill were desirous that the evidence upon which the Report of the Select Committee had been founded should be printed and circulated among the Members of Par liament, and instructed their Chairman (the secretary of the Admiralty), to Move the House to that effect ; and as the assent of the House to this proposition necessarily involved considerable delay, whilst a renewal of opposition was threatened in the House of Lords, so as to render it probable that the Bill might not be passed during the session, your direc tors, after several conferences with the members of her Majesty's Government, thought it advisable to withdraw the opposed clauses. • They had a further motive for this course in the earnest desire •which'they felt, and in which, they are sure that you will participate, that this Com pany should not be subjected "to the slightest imputation of a breach of faith towards her Majesty's Government, in case the Bill should fall through in consequence of the opposition offered to the further powers sought, which, though intended to render the arrangement complete, were not necessarily involved in the agreement with the Treasury. " The capital which the Bills of this session authorize this company to raise for the contribution to the harbour, the extension of the line thereto, and for the necessary wharfs and statitms, amounts to 3,363,3321. "Your direct Ors recommend that of this sum 630,0001. shall be raised by the. creation of 42,000 shares of 151. each, being one new share for each original share ; and that the remaining 34,5381. be raised by loan. That these new shares shall be issued as preference shares, to receive at all times a dividend at the rate of 5i per cent. per annum, and to participate with the entire stock in any increased rate of. dividend which may be declared. " That these shares be paid upon as follows :- 4/. Deposit 'on the Ist of September next ; 41. First call on the Ist of November next; 41. Second call on the 10th of January next; and 3/. Final call on the 28th of March, 1848.

The CHAIRMAN said that the report was so detailed as to render -it unnecessary for him to offer any lengthened observations. lie had received a 'letter from their thairnitin, Mr. Collet, which corro borated fully the: statement made_ by the engi neer, Mr. Stephenson, .as to the favourable situation of their line. They might be assured that the directors • deeply deplored the accident that had taken place at 'flee-bridge. • That feeling of re wet had beeri greatly aggravated, for the claims of the sufferers from that accident had not been settled. They had, however, made overtures to the other com pany, and he hoped that the matter would be shortly arranged. With respect to the tubular bridge ei;vything they had seen proved that the calculations of their engl'neer were correct. With regard to the steam-boats - - to connect them with Ireland, nothing could ha - ve induced • them to abandon their • ground With respect to them but the shortness Of the; session. There was a possibility of. the. Bill ryeA'ng defeatetl, and therefore they felt compelled to drA w back. With respect to the' new capital there was noti'ling that could be objected to. In point of fa vt, the capital had been raised for four years. T, tie London and North-Western Company had deter— mined to take their shares .of the capital, and it only remained for them (the Chester and Holyhead Com pany) to carryout their suggestion, and take up theirs, which were offered on terms the most favourable, and he could only add to • whist had been said in the re port, that it aprears Oat the tra4ho will fully justify the far' ourahle'Vle‘%:; - vpretiqled of thew tr , del.f.v.ing, and alsb justify; the 'Shareholders in tiling - , the tv_o,v shares. Their. engineer was present, and would answer any question.that had re,ference to his depart ment, and if there were no object.'on, he (the Chair man) should propose to the meetin - the adopti:rm of th'e repOrt. - In reply to a v.41:12.ty of. questions Irani Afx.. MAN, • • The CHAIRMAN said, with regard to the opening of the line, there were between Conway and Chester some of the he4viest**orki . but every effort would be made to open it in .Octoiter next. With regard to the observation of the Hon. Proprietor with reference to their resident director, he could say that the services of Captain Moorsom were most valuable. They (the directors) had received constant reports from that gentleman, and they were much indebted to him for the vigilance he had shown. With respect to the other -interrogatory of the Fi s :c) nourable Proprietor, he had • only to state that the unpaid claims on their 'capital of 2,000,000/. WSS only 17,9001. The Jocomotives were disposed Hof to the London and North -Western Company. yt s Tith respect to the interest on the shares, as the time v‘'lts approaching very closely when that interest could Oe no longer allowed, it was scarcely worth while to make any observations. The want of confidence, which they all . deeply deplored, would no doubt be speedily dissipated, when the affairs and position of the company were really .understood. He had stated that the traffic justified their expectations, and he hoped that would restore confidence. Mr. STEPHENSON said that he had read .the letter of General Pasley on the subject of the 'bridge, and he saw nothing• in that letter that required a reply. The writer made a detailed statement of conversations that had taken place between himself and another gentleman on the question which he referred to, but there was not a single observation that disap proved of the •principle upon which thee bridge was 'to be constructed, and the only points to which he * objected was as to the man ner in which it was to be raised. There were only two or three persons in the country who were acquainted with his plans, therefore General Pasley could 'not possibly know what those plans were ; but he (Mr. Stephenson) was ready to explain them to any one in that room who could understand them. He intendecto have that bridge supported on chains, and it was only in the method of raising it that General Pasley'saw anything to condemn. The apprehensions that existed on this matter were en tirely vague, and had no foundation whatever but in the feelings that were entertained towards what was considered a novelty, though it was merely the extension of a principle already in existence. It appeared that General Pasley bad some conversation with Captain Moorsom on the question; but the latter gentleman, though he might have a general idea of his plan, was not acquainted with the details, and therefore' was not competent to offer any opinion upon it. He Thotight, that under these cir cumstances it was very unwarrantable on th• part of General Pasley to make the comments he had done on a work of such importance. and upon which so much anxiety was felt by those interested in it. With respect to the other letter re ferred to, signed 4 A Mathematician," the signature was one that the writer had no right to assame.—(A laugh.) He (the mathematician) said that the vibra tion would convert the wrought iron into cast iron. Why, he might: as Well have said that the vibration of cast iron would .convert it into plumbago.—(A laugh.) The apprehensions, as he had alrcady stated, were quite unfounded, and in this opinion he was supported by some 'of the most eminent mathe maticians of the day. Captain MooKsom here explained that he was ready to make . any reports that were required, but that it had been arranged that he should only report to the directors, with whom he constantly com municated. General ' Pasley had altogether misre presented what' he bed said to him, and as far as he understood the plans of Mr. Stephenson he ap proved of them. •• • The CHAIRMAN, in• reply to a question, s t a ted that the shareholders would not be Compelled to take the new shares. • Mr. STEPHENSON, in reply to some questions, stated that the chains were not used for the purpose of permanently supporting the tube, and that the vibration would not be felt. This would be easily understood if they consider that 1,200 tons would very easily resist 200. tons in a commensurate ratio. The whole objections were made upon false data. The' CHAIRMAN then proposed the next resolution, which was to • the effect that 42,000 new shares, in shares of 1.51. each, should be issued, in the way re commended by. the direciors in their report, to be disposed of in the way the directors consider best for the interests of the shareholders. The resolution was . unanimously'agreed . A resolution; to apply to Parliament for authority to run steamers between Holyhead and Dublin, was also agreed to, after some discussion. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the other directors, and the meeting separated. :stEmglizaa.otprtterik.i The particulars of the sale of Shakspere's house, at Stratford-on-Avon, are now published by Mr. Robins.

Yesterday the polling was resumed at eight o'clock. Shortly after eleven Mr. Osborne appeared at Brentford Butts, amidst the cheers of his supporters. Being pre clud,:d from addressing the electors from the hustings, he proceeded to his committee-rcom, at the White Horse Inn. On appearing at the window he was re ceived with anlamations. He briefly expressed his ac knowledgments to the electors for the support he had received, his satisfaction with the position he occupied on the poll, and his confidence that the result would be his return for the county of Middlesex by a large ma jority. He hoped they would continue their exertions, and referred to the prieciples on which he had sought their suffrages. He described the interest he felt in the welfare of the agricultural labourers, and-adverted to the propriety of adopting measur, s for defining and recognising more fully the rights of tenant-farmers. Lord H. Grosvenor appeared on the hustings soon after Mr. Osborne had left, and was received with cheers. He did not address the electors. At four o'clock the Sheriffs ordered the poll-books to be closed, and proclamation was made that the proceed ings stood adjourned to Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, when the Sherin would procccd to cast up the poll hooks ; the declaration of the poll to be made et one o'clock. Mr. Sheriff CHALLIS explained the object of the ad journment to eight o'clock, and intimated that the pro ceedings of public interest would not begin till one o'clock, and expressed for his colleague and himself their anxiety and detormination to take every means in the discharge of their officiel duties to ascertain tha exact result of the polling. lle had been requested by the several candi dates. and more especially by Lord R. Grosvenor, to re turn thanks to their respective supporters. The candi dates weuld not address the electors, and had not appeared, more than one instance having occurred in which the supposed results were not realised when the poll was declared. They would not then anticipate the remarks which might be made on the day of declara tion. Ile concluded by expressing his hope that the demeanour of the assemblage would continue to be marked throughout the proceedings by an entire absti nence from disorder.
