Brodie, Bart., who had company a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen were collected at Reigate yesterday to witness the ope nanntemthbiesrmofoment. In obedience to the invitation of the ope ration of turning the first sod of the intended line, and fi afterwards to partake of a dejeune in the grounds of Sir through the pleasa in n pleasant little town of Reigate — ve -t n he the albs u le longs ga a future uhortauoutru:ne,eaaf stoppedoi tl r wr o t au h yp e occasion. eaßoofß eg rogoad t I p cipo to n and patwn o'clock joe down,set odue e tp a ot r e os h p ,oic l tm o t es r t do a t :: : lie —from passengers e day and a free invitation ; and shortly after that safety, despite stiff asprings, il o seaa e mr n ll kal b t ri:losee o owuds n rgilt hanem m rreoo a or k fate i dh n epsehca.

Then they rough beard the young partridge, scared db the f t ram of many footsteps, and the clanging of trumpe t y and 17 4 137 e ran fitfully into the hedge rows. A sturdy band of " navvies," waving flags with various appropriate inscrip tions, cheered with the most wonderful perseverance and power of lungs, as each carriage arrived, will the pro cession was formed, and marched in order to an adja cent field, where the first sod of the line was to be cut. On the spot there was a mahogany wheelbarro‘Na that seemed a first cousin to the famous vehicle of the 'Trent Valley, bound in brass and ornamented with m,any volutes and winding patterns. Then Mr. D. Salomor`69 the chairman, advanced, and taking up the spade (which' was composed, excepting the shaft, of silver), delivered an appropriate and well-received address on the uses of the railway- in which he was about to take the initia tive. It would by its junction at Reading connect the west and south-west with the south and south-aast at Reigate, and form a most important link in the 1 7, Teat system of railway communication; so that the passeNger from Oxford on the north and from Bristol on ti:, , ett w,,st could proceed at once to Dover without being, compelled to pass through the metropolis. Rail nays were not to be judged by their length, and though this was but forty miles long, it promised to effect more good than many of far greater extent. After Lome further pertinent remarks, the Chairman pro ceeded to shovel up the loose earth in a style which led some of the surrounding navvies to exclaim, that " be might be a very good one for speakin', but wasn't much a hand at diggin'." Several ladies, among them Mrs.. Salomons, repeated the operation, and Mr. Macgregor hiving overturned the barrow in wheeling the earth away, the whole party made a rapid march in the di rection of the tent, which was pitched in a pretty spot, close to a fine row of trees. The Chairman presided at the dejeune, and among the company were Lord Somers, Mr. Deniman, M.P., Mr. Alcock, M.P., Capt. Mangles, M.P., Mr. Macregor, &c. Mr. Bayley, the secretary, did his utmost to render every one comfortable, and the whole of the management was excellent. Nothing was wanting, not even a toastmaster, and ever rural deli cacy was produce d in abundance (including, unfortu nately, wasps and spiders, which seemed determined to assert their rights, in the case of an al fresco entertain ment). The usual toasts having been proposed and re sponded to, some good speeches were delivered by Cap tain Mangles, Mr. Macgregor, and Mr. Denison, and the company at last broke up with hearty cheers for the success of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Rail way Company. It is expected that the line will be open in a twelvemonth. No. 17,137. LON DON, SAT U R DAY EVENING AXMINSTER, MEMBURY, and KILMINGT ON, DEVON.

It appeared that the deceased had been for some time past labouring under nervous debility. On W-dnesday evening ho returned to his lodgings, No. 10, Trinity street, and soon after the servant heard the report of firearms, and soon after a second report, an becoming alarmed, she went to h is room, and found him lying the floor, weltering in blood. Mr. Boast, a tnedical gen tleman, was promptly in attendance, but found that death must have been almost instantaneous. Upon an examination it was evident that the deceased had first discharged a loaded pistol from each of h's hands, at his temples, and finning that the balls had glanced off, he reloaded the pistols, and discharged them at th e back of his head. In the second attempt one of the balls entered the skull, and the other lodged in the ceiling. Ha inu-t then Ir,ve taken a razor, wish which he cut his throat from ear to ear.

It appeared from the evidence, that the deceased belonged to Poplar charity school, and on Wednesday last, being half-holiday, deceased, and a number of boy s belon g in g to the school, went t o A bbot's -fields, in Poplar. Auty and several others undressed themselves and . bathed in the New Cut of the River Lea. They remained in the water about a quarter cf an hour, and then com menced running: after each other about the fields. A u ty dropped his jacket, and Newson, who had been sitting on the grass, with three other men, rose, and picked it up. lie then g ave it to the men, and said, "If Auty wished to have his jacket, he must fight one of the boys for it." Auty complied with his request, and selected out the deceased for the pur pose. The deceased said ho did not wish to fight, and Auty instantly struck him. They then commenced fighting, and the men encouraged them on, promising beer to the victor. The deceased was struck down several times by Auty, anti his nose bled profusely. The men then sent for a gallon of beer, and gave the de ceased some out of a pewter mug. The men then ap pointed two other boys as seconds, and they commenced fighting again. They f oug ht nearly an :hour, when Auty was declared the victor. The deceased a pp eared very exhausted, and the men, not satisfied with their cruel treatment, made them run a race for some more beer. The deceased could scarcely stand, an d was unable to contend with Auty. Newson then gave the deceased some more beer, and he was carried home by two boys. He shortly afterwards became insensible, guilty of man- of such and expired the follo win g morning. Mr. Bain, a sur geon, said he had mad e a p p st mortem examination, and a ttributed death to co n g estion 01 the brain. H e h a d no doubt the excitement and they tered had produced death.

The inq uir y was then adjourned for several days, for the purpose of having the other three men taken into custody. COURTS •MARTIA L AT CHATHAM. — AUGUST 18.

INVERARY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. After the gorgeous illumination in Rothesay Bay last night we hardly anticipated seeing any display calculated to eclipse it in her Majesty's progress through the Western Highlands. But we must say that the natural scenery of Inverary, blending in exquisite proportions the softest features of the beau tiful with the most majestic of the sublime, excited even stronger feelings of admiration. A charming voyage up Loch Fine brought us alongside the Shear water, already moored in the dark waters of the loch, amidst a tiny fleet of fishing craft neatly and newly painted alike, and bearing each a little pink ensign at the gaff. The trim little pleasure yacht of the Mar quis of Stafford, all fluttering with flags, lay off the quay; and deep down on the verge of the undulating valley stood the noble castle of Inverary. In the foreground of the landscape the fine span of the bridge, and beyond it a battery of field-pieces, greatly enhanced the effect. Near it were pitche el ten handsome marquees, the quarters of the clan Camp bell, and in their centre a booth, the external covering of which was composed entirely of tartans. To the south of this, from the Duke's entrance gate, along the front street of the town to the quay, the mustering of the Islay clan was proceeding. On landing at the steps we found a superb arcade erected along the quay for the convenience of her Majesty in reaching the royal carriages for the drive to the castle. Be yond this, the entire way to the Duke's gate, the Islay clansmen formed a living avenue, clad in their dark tartans, with broad red facings and all the High land accoutrements, including the formidable Locha ber axe. A body of the Dukes men, clad entirely in their own tartans, without the red facings, also kept a portion of the ground. The Highland guard, in cluding the Celtic gentlemen, the clansmen of Islay, and the tenantry of the Duke of Argyle, mustered from 300 to 500 strong. A handsome arch of ever greens was also sprung across the street. His Grace the Duke of Argyle, in his Highland costume as Mac-Caillum-More, moved from post to post, and with Campbell of Islay, directed the placing of the Celtic guard of honour. Lord Blantyre ac companied his Grace in his movements. The young Marquis of Stafford, backed by several of his crew, also passed down the line previous to her Majesty's arrival. Campbell of Islay commanded the Celts; his lieutenants being Campbell of Lochawe, and Fletcher of Dunans. The Islay men were commanded by Campbell, younger, of Islay, and Campbell of Glendaruel. The Duchess of Sutherland, accompanied by her three daughters, the Duchess of Argyle, Lady Blantyre, and Lady Caroline Leveson Gower, with the Duke of Argyle and Lord Blantyre, drove down to the quay at half-past eleven A.M., anticipating the arrival of the royal party, but immediately drove away on finding them not in sight. Meanwhile the Celts, in splendid costume, were posted as a guard of honour, under Campbell of Argyle, along the arcade. The effect was truly magnificent. A gun from the castle lawn gave token of the Fairy being in sight, and she rounded Strone Point at twelve o'clock precisely, and moored inside the Shearwater, closely followed by the Garland, amidst the shouts of a Highland welcome, and the cannonade from the castle, the bands playing " God save the Queen." The royal standard was lowered on board the Fairy, and the Queen almost instantly descended and was rowed ashore. Her Majesty leaning on the arm of the Duke of Argyle, and followed by Prince Albert, with the Duchess of Norfolk, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Duchess of Argyle, Lady Blantyre, Lady C. Leveson Gower, the Prince of Saxe Leinin gen, Duke of Norfolk, Earl Grey, the Marquis of Stafford, Lord Blantyre, Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, &c., walked along the arcade, smiling and bowing most graciously on either side as she passed— the Celts giving the salute, and the ladies and gentlemen along her path making respectful obei sance to her Majesty, while cheering loud and long was given by the crowds without. The attendance of people at Inverary was not numerous—probably not so numerous as it would have been, had the Queen arrived, according to expectation, the preceding day. But her Majesty must have had reason to be delighted with her sail and reception. She had passed in the nimble little Fairy through the charming scenery of the Kyles of Bute, and emerged amidst the grander scenery of Loch Fine, shone on by a sun of glorious brilliancy, and smiled upon by shores that seemed to revel in summer holiday. The Queen looked ex tremely well. Her Majesty was dressed in a blue and white striped silk dress, with broad fringes of mixed blue and white ; a black damask silk visite, with a deep flounce, bracelets, and primrose coloured gloves. She wore a white chip bonnet, trimmed with straw-coloured crape and white marabout feathers, with dark green velvet flowers inside ; and she car- Carrid a green parasol. iagee following addresses in the name of the county gentle men, through Earl Grey : " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "The humble address of the Commissioners of Supply and other gentlemen of the county of Argyle, as sembled at Inverary, on the 18th day of August, 1847. " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's most loyal and faithful subjects of the county of Argyle, humbly beg leave to approach your Majesty, for the pur pot.e ot expressing the gratification and joy it affords us to welcome to our shores the first Sovereign of Great Britain who has ever appeared among us. " We beg to assure your Majesty that this proof ot reliance on the fidelity of your subjects in the shire of Argyle will long be remembered in this part of your Majesty's dominions, and cannot fail to perpetuate those feelings of devoted loyalty and of firm attachment to your Majesty's royal person and family, which at this moment animates every Highland breast. " That your Majesty and your Royal Consort may derive from this visit to the Western Highlands all the enjoyment and satisfaction that can be desired, and that your Majesty may long continue, as now, to rule, in the hearts of a free and contented people, a pattern of every princely and domestic virtue, it is the ardent wish and fervent prayer of your Majesty's most faithful, most du tifal, and most loyal subjects of the county of Argyle."

"May it please your Royal Highness—We, the Com missioners of Supply, and other gentlemen of the county of Argyle, humbly beg leave to offer to your Royal Highness the expression of our sincere gratification in welcoming your Royal Highness to the Western High lands of Scotland. " We beg to assure your Royal Highness that nothing can be more gratifying to us than to think that your Royal Highness should derive enjoyment from visiting the scenery with which our country abounds, and parti cipating in the sports which it affords. "That every happiness may always attend your Royal Highness is our ardent hope." The Provost of Inverary then also presented the following addresses in name of the magistrates and Town Council : " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. "May it please your Majesty—We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the provost, magistrates, and town council of the Royal Burgh of Inverary, beg to approach your Majesty with sentiments of the most pro found respect, and to tender our joyful and heartfelt con gratulations on the arrival of your Majesty in th part of your ancient kingdom of Scotland.

" Signed in name, and by authority of the magistrates and town council, by " JAMBS WRIGHT, Provost." The Provost also presented the freedom_ I re y. of the burgh to Prince Albert , th rou g h Earl G y burgess ticket was enclosed in a massive and elegantly The chased silver box, bearing t he following inscription. "This box contains the freed om of the Royal Burgh of Inverary, presented to his Royal Highness Field Marshal Prince Albert of Saxe -Coburg and Gotha, on landing with her Majesty Queen Victoria, at Inverary, Aug. 1847." The royal party were then escorted by the Celts and clansmen to the entrance gate of Inverary where the carriages and escorts took separato roads:, afford the Queen an opportunity of having a drive through the Duke's magnificent grounds. The escort inarehed to the principal front of the CL,stle, attended by a concou rse of people, where they formed in square for her getlestre reception ; and after some time the steppe tCheeltisccigeuanretlemofen armedd out lli h in ian to d t e, w rs o fi b le e s i , ng and ta : en i v ,y anc t e h d e to ten m an ee tr t y the r A oy r a g l ygl p e a : rty At thei o r ne pl o a , c c e loc i k n the carriages containing the royal party drove up to the front of Inverary Castle, escorted by the Celtic body, an d preceded by their' pipers, five in number. The guar d o f honour having again formed in square, lined th e en ti re f ront of the crowd presenting to the eye the appearance of an assem blage entirely dressed in the garb of Old Gaul. Her Majesty and the Prince alighted, and were cordially welcomed by their Highland hosts, the Duke and Duchess of Argyle. After the reception of the Queen by the Duke and Duchess, a beautiful inci• dent occurred. The first object that seemed to catch her Majesty's eye, as she ascended the stepe, was the little Marquis of Lorne—a graceful child ofabout three years of age, clothed in the most accurate Highland costume. Her Majesty stooped down and took the little fellow by the hand, lifted him up, and kissed him. Her Majesty then continued for more than e minute bowing graciously to the assemblage on the esplanade. Previous to retiring from the platform of the castle steps the Queen issued her command that the Prince of Wales should be brought up ; and Prince Albert came forward and conversed with Campbell of Islay and the other gentlemen present, and directed that the same carriage should be sent as had conveyed her Majesty. In a very short time the royal carriage and escort returned with the Prince of \Vales and Princess Royal, accompanied by Lady Lyttelton and Sir James Clarke, and drew up at the castle front, amidst hearty plaudits. The Prince of Wales was very plainly but neatly dressed in nursery cos tume, as if the sending for him had not been preme. dilated. He lifted his little cap to the assemblage in acknowledgment of their cheers, but looked soft and delicate. The Princess Royal wore a pea-green silk Polka, a purple or brown dress trimmed with fringe, and a straw bonnet. Luncheon was served within the Castle at two P.M. for the royal party—the Duke of Arglye had the honour of handing her Majesty from the dining-room to the drawing- room on this occasion. The imme diate kinsmen of the Argyle family, including Islay, Glendaruel, Inverawe, Coradale, Southhall, &c., all of the name and lineage of Campbell, were selected from amongst the gentlemen of the Celtic body to guard her Majesty at luncheon, and had the honour of being presented to the Queen. Nothing in the shape of accident occurred, so far as we are aware, on this occasion, except the unfor tunate fall of two gentlemen of the Celts down some steps leading from the quay, whilst the Prince of Wales was entering the carriage. The tide was not full at the time, and one of the gentlemen sustained a severe injury of the jaw, by striking against the top step of the stair. The other escaped unhurt, and made what speed he could to the Castle, calling for Sir James Clarke; but a resident surgeon, present with a masonic body, went instead, and prevented the alarm being communicated to her Majesty. At three P.M. the royal standard was lowered in Inverary Castle; and the re-embarkation of her Majesty, guarded and escorted by the Celts and Highlanders, immediately took place. The Fairy, followed by the Garland, steamed down the Loch, and stood away for Ardrishaig. CRINAN, THURSDAY. The Queen, along with Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, the Princess, and that portion of their suite who had accompanied them on their visit to Inverary, reached Ardrishaig at half-past four o'clock. The royal yacht, the Undine, and other vessels of the fleet, had been previously sent round the Mull of Cantvre, and came into Loch Crinan at nearly the same hour when the Fairy came up to Ardrishaig. A t the lat ter place the Queen was received by the authorities of the neighbourhood, Sir John Orde, of Kilmorey, and some other gentlemen. The concourse of people at the secluded village which the Queen had now reached was immense. Her Majesty was received with perhaps even a deeper enthusiasm, not probably so noisy, but not less respectful, and learly more Celtic than where many thousand 4 were met to cheer her progress northward. From the quay the Queen and suite were accommodated in the carriages of some of the county gentlemen to a road specially constructed for the occasion, which probably will be called the Queen Road hencefor ward, and which leads between a double row of trees, off the ordinary road passing in front of the hotel, upward to the canal bank, where the royal barge was in waiting. The centre of the quay and the centre of the new road were carpeted—the latter very taste fully. At the canal bank the Queen and her party passed under a very beattiful and tasteful arch of flowers, topped by the national heather, a nicely formed crown, and V. R. in flowers. At the canal bank the Queen was received by Mr. George Burns in forming the arrangements for the journey; ts-re presentatives of the Steam-packet Company, and of the Canal Company, in connexion with Messrs. Thompson and M'Connell. Mr. George Burns had the honour of escorting her Majesty to the royal barge, which was fitted up in Glasgow, under the direction of those gentlemen, for the Crinan Canal passage. The barge was drawn by four horse s, ridden by two young jockeys in red livery—two boys we believe in the service of the Canal Company. The barge, surmounted by a magnificent crown and sceptre, with its crimson-covered cushions, and all the appearance of regal state, decorated by six or eight silk flags, formed an object of great admiration to the people who lined the banks, and who expressed their gratification in enthusiastic Gaelic. The Queen and her suite were greatly pleased with this part of the i t journey, and with the very excellent arrangements made for them by the Steam-packet and Canal Com panies. The Queen and Prince Albert, we under stand, were much interested in the locks of the canal, and the manner of passing through them. A great concourse of people were assembled at Crinan, where the canal falls into the loch, in order to witness the landing from the barge and the em barkation on the royal yacht, which was lying on the calm water of the land-locked Loch Crinan. The crags around the landing place are very romantic. The situation, indeed, is altogether unique in its features. The broad and calm loch, with its islands, is belted round by a multitude of mountains, so numerous, that like the Cheviot-hills, one never thinks of counting them. The hills immediately over the landing place are laid out artificially, but still look as if they had been laid out in narrow ridges or t er r a ces, and the grey crags are prettily relieved by patches of green grass, and bushes of re l d da h o ea f t o h a e t r s : w hil e between the hills there are small fie and some few neatly whitewashed country houses. Every little ledge forms a platform ; and they were fully occupied, for far up white caps appeared on the hills, and groups of three or four persons whiled away the afternoon talking in their native Gaelic of the wonderful phenomenon—the Queen come to the western lochs and lakes and islands. At half past seven o'clock the barge appeared, and the enthusiasm of the spectators was apanifested in the heartiest way possible, clearly to the great delight of the royal party. Here, again, a very magnificent arch of flowers had been erected, and the won der was where all the flowers were brought from. The Queen and her party had to walk a considerable distance from the canal to the quay, where two barges, manned from the yacht, which lay out in the loch, were waiting for them. They were received on landing by Mr. Sheriff Bruce, of Argyleshire; Sir John Orde, of Kilmorey ; Campbell, sen. and jun., 0 Jura; Campbell, of Inverneil ; Campbell, ofiAupchairnk, darroch; Sir W.

At Crinan the Queen seemed to be exceedingly gratified with her novel journey over the mountains, the respectful reception that she met, and the atten tion shown by all classes. Lord Adolphus Fitzcla rence, on the part of her Majesty, expressed repeatedly her approval of the manner in which the arrange.. ments for this portion of her journey had been planned and executed, and at its close Earl Grey communicated to Mr. George Burns her satisfaction and that of the Prince with the attention shown, and the measures Wien to secure their comfort on the route. As the barge was rowed to the yacht, the sun was setting I) , hincl the hill of Jura, and thus a llowed the royal party to see one of those magnificent colouringsof the In.erl,er:pe v.hich 1 t but only for minutes, l e v .; minutes, -vhei, his ' oae ns are falling a e no the still waters of a land-locked sce:tebreigiln joqrneys, sunset, the &et of steamers neve - i n stance they an butof he town anchor for the nigtit.

Connoua, M.P., took the chair, and con gratulated the proprietors on their having passed through another half-year without a solitary accident ; indeed, since the first opening of their line not a'single casualty had occurred. The accounts showed their working ex penses to be large, but they were no criterion of what; they would be ultimately when other lines came into operation. In the autumn they would open another stage of the Norwich line, four miles beyond Hawley. The Eastern Union was only 17 miles long, the Ips wich and Bury 27; but the former had contributed more than half the receipts, owing probably to its traffic, which had increased 50 per cent. in twelve months, being more fully developed. The directors anticipated the greatest advantages to be derived from the conjuction of the Harwich line, as did the public in the east and Louth of England, and its great importance justified them in taking a resolution to construct it at the earliest pos sible period. Mr. J. SAUNDERS, the secretary, then read the report, which stated that the receipts of the two lines were in troduced in one sum, viz., for the half-year, 26,3741. — the Eastern Union of seventeen miles having contri buted more than one-half of the whole line of forty-four miles. The interest to shareholders has been paid is the terms, as far as they . could be carried out, of the agreement both companies entered into for the . amalgamation.

Harwich line as a national work rendered it important that it should be proceeded with immediately. The directors now recommend that the sum of 300,0001. be raised by subscription among the shareholders, and by this means the directors would have sufficient funds to construct the important branch to Harwich, and the new source of revenue arising from it all over the main line would counterbalance entirely any guaranteed prefer ence in the stock. T he g eneral account of receipts and expenditure showed a total outlay to June 30, 1847, of 397,546/., leaving a balance in hand of 2,5931." s s s o l l A e n t t o i o f a n i s t p w e t a o c s p i t a hl e m E e e a t s i t n e g r n o u t n t i h o e n I w a a s d l o e o i con fi r r ra J e u d n , c a t i n o d n, a the re a committeit to consider the discontinuance of proposed by Mr. Joh nson for the appoint ment of S m u o n n d th ay s. trains, but was postponed to that day twelve A special train, with the Chairman, Major Beresford, M.P., Mr. Rowland Hi ll, Messrs.
