DINNER TO MR. GEORGE STEPHENSON.—On the oc casion of Mr. Stephenson's recent visit to Belgium for the purpose of inspecting the line of the Sambre and Meuse Railway, a grand dinner was given at Brussels, on the 4th of Aprirrast. M. Masai, the Director-General of the Belgian Railways, presided. The Parliamentary Session, so far as the merits of competing railways are concerned, may be said nly to have begun yesterday. We have now got within three months of the end of the session, and not a single rail way Bill hr:s as yet gone into Commtlee. At this period last year nearly all the Bills had already made much pro- comma PENRITH AND RICHMOND.—LeveIs have been taken for a line from Orton, near Penrith, by way of Raven stone•dale Kirkby Stephen, Bowes, Barnard C ast l e , Greta-bridge, Newsham, Dalton, Ravensworth. and Gil ling, to join the proposed line from Cowton to Richmond. The line passes through a rich mineral and agricultural country, and the gradients are said to be good. BLACKBURN AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—The works on this line are now* proceeding rapidly. Upwards of 100,000 cubic yards of earth have been removed, and in several places active preparations are now being made for laying down portions of the permanent way, The piers of the viaduct over the river Darwen, at Hoghton, which have formed one of the most difficult portions of the un dertaking, are now up to the level of the water, and seve ral of the bridges on the Houghton contract are com menced. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.—A special meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held at Derby on Saturday last to consider the terms for the lease of the Birmingham and Gloucester, and Bristol and Gloucester liailtvays.—Mr. George Hudson, chairman of the board of directors, stated the heads of agreement en tered into with the above companies, which was that the amalgamated lines of the Birmingham and Gloucester and Bristol and Gloucester should be leased in perpetuity to the Midland Company at an annual rent of £6 per cent. on the share capital of £1,800,000; the Midland Com pany to take upon themselves the liabilities of the other party to the extent of £450,000; the stock of the other company to become the property of the Midlands; these arrangements to commence on the Ist of July next, and any difference which might arise to be referred to the ar bitration of the Board of Trade.—These terms received the sanction of the meeting, which then adjourned. THE KENDAL AND WINDERMERE RAILWAY.—The Kendal and Windermere proposed line leaves the Lancas ter and Carlisle Railway at Oxenholme, and curving round by Staveley, terminates near Bowness :—its length is 10 miles 23 chains, and it is to be worked by the Lan caster and Carlisle Railway Company. This project is not of an expensive character, and may expect to com mand a remunerative traffic, and will afford a very de sirable outlet to the Lakes from the manufacturing dis tricts; nor are we aware of any objection, except one which has been strongly urged, viz. : that in the event of the railway being made, the privacy of the locality will be invaded, and the comforts of the residents in the neigh bourhood will be materially diminished. We are pre cluded from taking into consideration the private interests of individuals ; but , where a general local feeling, made up of the feelings of individuals, who are personally, though privately, interested, exists, it is right to notice it. We must therefore state that an argument which goes to deprive the artisan of the offered means of occasionally changing his narrow abode, his crowded streets, his wea risome task and unwholesome toil, for the fresh air, and the healthful holiday which sends him sack to his work refreshed and invigorated,—simply that individuals who obj ct on the grounds above stated may retain to them. selves the exclusive enjoyment of scenes which should be open alike to all, provided the enjoyment of them shall not involve the infringement of private rights, appears to us to be an argument wholly untenable; and we are of opinion that there are no public grounds which ought to be decisive against the Kendal and Windermere proposed railway receiving the sanction of parliament.—Report or the Board of Trade on Proposed Railways in Lancashire. , THE KING OF PRIISSIA.—Tbe Manheim Journal pub, ishes a letter from Berlin, of the 7th inst., which states exciteme preva, ,nat city, in conse quence of an attempt having been made by an individual, who has been arreated, to wound the King, by striking him with a stone when leaving his Palace. FRANCE.—On Tuesday there was a discussion in the French Chamber of Peers, arising from a petition, signed by eighty-nine inhabitants of Marseilles, praying that M. M. Michlet, and Quinet be no longer suffered to pro fess doctrines hostile to the Roman Catholic Church at the public lectures of the College of France. The peti tion was rejected. In the course of discussion, M. Cou sen asked why, contrary to law, Jesuits were tolerated in France. The Keeper of the Seals replied, that other tin : I authorised congregations were t o l era t e d ; th at pru d ence d recommended indulgence towards the Jesuits, but that he law, ant orce it w was deemed suitable INUNDATIONS IN GERMANY.—The Revue. de Paris states that the greatest inundations, of which Germany has during two centuries preserved the recollection, were those of 1655 and of 1784; nevertheless, neither of those events were so disastrous as the inundations of the pre sent year The entire Germanic confederation, a part of Austria, and of Poland. have been literally under water since the 30th of March. The Rhine. the Maine, the Neckar, the Danube. the Elbe. and the Vistula. have in succession overflowed their banks, not in a day, but in an hour. Frankfort, Mentz, Cologne, Dresden, Prague, and a number of other towns, and several thousand vil lages, were covered with water. The magnificent bridge of Dresden has been carried away, and many edifices have been destroyed. A subscription has been entered into for the sufferers, which has been signed by kings, ATJSTRALIA.—Sydney papers have been received to the sth of January. There were evident signs that the colony was improving by the better state of credit, and the less restrictions placed on discounts. Sir George Gipps al hided to this subject in the speech with which he closed the session of the council, and other testimony besides that of the governor is quoted on the subject. A bill was to be brought forward, having for its object the construe tion of a general cemetery for burials without the town. At the date of these advices the wool-market was active, but prices had declined ld. per lb. Since Christmas up wards of 3,000 bales arrived, and the prices realized were as follows :—Ordinary, ls. 2id. to ls. 3d.; the best, ls. 44d. , and skin, Ild. to ls. lid. per lb. Very little unwashed wool had arrived in the market. Freights were firm at 14d. per lb. The crop at Van Dieman's Land was estimated to produce, at the average of Is. 3d. per lb., upwards of £250,000; but the question is, whether this price will be obtained throughout .the whole of the sales. The third quarter of revenue in Van Dieman's Land was yielded £39,631, against £2,637 last year. The expenditure was £35,407, against £35,201 in 1843. IRELAND, In consequence of some earnest remonstrances from va rious quarters, a weekly balance-sheet, stating the dis bursement of accounts, will for the future be puhlished by the Repeal Association. On what a scale land agency is conducted in Ireland, may be judged by the face, that Mr. R. S. Guineas re ceives £lOO,OOO a-year, the greater part for landlords, principally absentees. A curious discovery has been made in Kilkenny gaol, unely, that a grisoner named Ronan undergoing confine- ment for having base money in his possessioii, has in con junction with another person been carrying on the opera tion of coining within the walls of the gaol !

At the Buckingham Quarter Sessions, held on Thurs day last, it was resolved by the magistrates that the Rev. Mr. Cox, the chaplain, be sent for, and asked what con fession (if any) was made by Tawell, and under what cir cumstances it was made. Mr. Cox declined to make any statement on the subject ; and Mr. Sheriff, the governor of the gaol, was then sent for, and stated that he sat up with Tawell, the whole of the night before the execution, and that at an early hour in the morning Tawell said—" I am guilty of the crime ; I put the prussic acid into the porter, and I also attempted the crime in September last; not by prussic acid but by morphia." At the late Warwi under the game law ck assizes, three men were indicted s ; these men had been tracked by ' trained for the put pc se of assisting three blood hound me human animal let lons that had so trained the canine ones, . o the dogs at the men. Fortunately for these persons the dogs were shot and wounded, else thlse who directed their savage instinct might have had to answer for the crime of murder. As it was, the poachers seem not to have suffered from the dogs, and were therefore indicted for being out at night, unlawfully armed in pursuit of game. Two of them were convicted and sentenced to eighteen months' impri sonment and hard labour. halls, any river of Western Africa,/ ..‘,l - ,„„ legitimate trade, the natives have n0t0,,.r i 9; ing .to follow.
