The Globe states that the Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry have left town for Torquay, Devonshire, from which watering-place they purpose proceeding very shortly to the Continent. The establishment at Holder neese House is ahou' to be entirely broken up. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—The nuptials of Earl Grosvenor, M.P. for Chester, and Lady Constance Gower, will not tatie place before, but immediately after Easter. We state this on authority.—Chester Courant. _ _ _ The marriage of Lord Brooke, M P., son and heir to the Earl of Warwick, to the Hon. Miss Ann Charteris, eldest daughter of Lord Elcho, and grand-daughter of the seventh Earl of Wemvss and March, was solemnised at St. George's. Hanover-square, on the 18:h. The bride, whose tall and graceful appearance attracted universal admiration, was attired in a rich white glace silk dress, with Brussels lace flounces. On her head was a wreath of orange blos soms, from which hung a beautiful Brussels lace veil, al most completely enveloping her - figure. She was attended by six bridesmaids, dressed alike in white tarletan dresses, trimmed with white silk ribbon, and white tarletan bon nets, trimmed with light blue. On Wednesday evening the Earl of Derby gave his sixth and last Parliamentary banquet this season, at his Lorship's mansion, St. James's-square. The guests were, the Marquis of Blandford, Viscount Lewisham, Viscount Seaham, Sir William Codrineton, Sir Charles Knigt.tley, Sir Archibald Campbell, Sir William Verner, Sir Arthur Brooke, &c. Tuesday's Gazette announced the appointment of Sir Alexander Malet, Bart., now her Majesty's Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the King of War temberg, to be her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Germanic Confederation. THE FRENCH EMBASSY.—Lord Cowley, the new Bri tish Ambassador t,) the French Republic, arrived in Paris on Tuesday night. He alighted at the Intel Bristol, Place Vendome. Lard Normandy left Paris on Wednes day morning on his return to England. REPRESENTATION OF ABERDEEN.—Capt in A. D. Fordyce, the member for the city of Aberdeen, has inti mated his intention to retire from parliament at the first dissolution. Sir Andrew Leith Hay is already in the field as a candidate for the honour of representing this city. Colonel Sykes. who contested the election with Captain Fordyce in 1817. is also spoken of as likely to be brought forward. _ . REPRESENTATION OF EAST KENT.—The nomination of c onlidates to supply the vacancy in the representation of East Kent, occasioned by the retirement of Mr. Plumptre, took place yesterday week, when Sir Brook W. Bridges and Sir Edward Dering were proposed. The polling occurred on Thursday and Friday last. At the close of the first day, the numbers were—for Sir Edward Dering. 1,846, and for Sir B. W. Bridges. 2 037. At the final close on Friday they wer•—Dering, 2,286 ; Bridges. 2,484 ; majority for Bridles, 198. REPRESENTATION OF LIMERICK.—Lqrd Arundel and Surrey has written to Mr. F. J. O'N, ill, of Limerick, stating that in consequence of his enfeebled health, he will not he able to attend parliament this session ; and that, though unwilling of his own motion to vacate the repre sentation, he will act in that particular as " his consti tuents shall decide." The managing committee of the late banquet in his honour hote passed a resolution requesting of him to retain his seat. Limerick is thus virtually unrepresented. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The directors of the Midland 2 Company recommend a dividend ofper cent. for the half-year on the consolidated stock ; a balance of £31,000 being carried over. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND.—The York and North Midland proprietors share a dividend of two per cent. per annum upon the convnlidated stock of the company, leaving a broance of £2665 to he carried forward. LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN.—A dividend of 5.1 per cent. per annum for the halt-year on the capital stock of the London and South-western Company has been approved. The coast line and central scheme are still under consideration. CHESTER AND 110LYHEAD.—The nett revenue for the half-year will he £46,000. The boats show a gain and not a loss. They have received about £lO,OOO, the ex penses being about £6,639. More boat traffic is anti, i pated from the conveyance of second-class passengers to Dublin by the London and North-Western express trains. EASTERN UNION.—A meeting of the Eastern Union shareholders was held on Tuesday, at which it was re solved that the best means of extricating the company from its embarrassments would be to promote the amal gamation of all the railways east of the Great Northern. A committee has been appointed to negotiate for a lease with the Eastern Counties. THE BICESTER RAILWAY CATASTROPHE.—It is calcu lated that this dreadful affair has entailed an expense of about £30.000 on the London and North-western Rail way Company. We understand that Mr. Nevill, one of the injured passengers, has, as a compensation, been offered £1,500, which he refuses, and that he requires £3,000. The following have been given as the sums presented to the undermentioned persons in consideration of the injuries received :—Mr. Bolton, £220; Mr. J. Smith, £7OO ; Life Guardsman Davis, £7OO ; Mrs. Terry, £100; Mrs. Collis, £200; and Mrs. Luckett, in conse quence of her husband's death, £7OO. As there were about thirty persons killed or injured, and all have led to claims on the company, £30,000 is probably within the mark. TRAFFIC RETURNS.—The traffic returns for the week ending the 16th instant, on the undermentioned English lines of railway, are as follows : 1852. 1851. London and North Western £40,683 .. £40.335 Midland.. Lancashire and Yorkshire 16,056 .. 13.545 London and South Western. London and Brighton.. Great Western:.

The number of miles open on the above lines was, in 1852, 4,149, and in 1851, 4,0421, showing an increase of 1061 miles. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT RAILWAY.— The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Thursday last, at the Clarendon-rooms, in this town. Mr. W. Earle was in the chair, and there was a full attendance of shareholders. An abstract of the report has already appeared in the Standard. The net balance to the credit of revenue applicable to dividend, after-deducting interest on loans and bonds, was £5,231 15s. 6d., out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent., being 7s. per share on £l7 10s. paid, leaving a ba lance of £1,311 15s. 6d. as a reserved fund. The chair man stated that the sum of £4,212, charged by the East Lancashire for toll, embraced every claim that could be brought against the company by the East Lancashire or LancasLire and Yorkshire lines. Mr. Harrison said, as the line was earning 61 per cent. be thought the share holders should have a larger dividend than 4 per cent. ; and as he did not see the necessity of carrying over so large a reserve fund as £1,311, he proposed that the divi dend for the half-year should be at the rate of 5 per cent. Mr. Aiken, a director, agreed with Mr. Harrison, that the line had earned 61 per cent. during the past half-year. The affairs of the accounts were in so favourable a posi tion that, if the proprietors were so desirous, they might increase the rate of dividend. The object of the directors was that the half-yearly dividends should be equalised, with a sufficient sum being left in hand, in order that the dividend of one half-year might not be less than a prece ding half- year. He thought, however. that 5 per rent. was rather too much. Mr. Harrison subsequently reduced his motion to 41 per cent.,which was carried unanimously. The engineer's report was then read ; it referred to the present srate of the line as being efficient, and recom mended that a double line be laid down as soon as possi ble. The Chairman stated that the double line would involve an expenditure of £15,600. The retiring directors, Mr. H. C. Chapman, Mr. Hargreaves. and Mr. Hornby, were re-elected. At the suggestion of Mr. Hall, it was agreed that the directors should take into consideration the question of continuing the contracts at the former rates. The proceedings terminated with the usual com pliment to the chairman. EXPLOSION IN BIRMINGHAM.—An explosion of deto nating powder took place in a court in Cheapside, Bir mingham, on Saturday evening. One man only was killed, but such was the violence of the shock, that his limbs were severed from his body, and hurled in various directions a long distance apart ; a leg being picked up in Bradford-street, at least 150 yards from the scene of the disaster. The building was shattered to pieces ; most of the houses were much shaken, and the doors and windows forced open. The cause of the accident has not been ascertained. The powder is said to have been undergoing the last stage of preparation—the drying process—and it is supposed had become over-heated. The person thus fearfully killed was Mr. Mead, the proprietor of the pre mises. He has left four children to deplore his loss. SCREW MAILS TO THE CAPE.—The government have given to the General Screw Steam Company a contract for a monthly Indian postal service, in extension of the line to the Cape, calling at Mauritius, Ceylon, and Cal cutta. It will commence on the 15th of May, with the new iron screw steamer the Queen of the South, 1,750 tons, to be followed by the Lady Jocelyn, Indiana, and Calcutta, 1,800 tone each. This opening of a regular and direct steam communication with our colonies and posses sions in the east is necessarily a subject of great and im mediate interest to the merchants enraged in that trade: but when viewed as the first step taken towards the in. troduction of a system by which steam, as an auxiliary power, will become the medium for the extension of our commerce and intercourse in those seas, it assumes an importance which cannot be over estimated either as a commercial or national question., &hipping tn:ellignirt TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17.—Wind W.N.W., fresh.

New much wanted. Pork is in active request, at full prices. There is rather more inquiry for bacon, but the pi ice of American being so near that of the home cure it is difficult to obtain any advance on late rates. For shoulders there is a moderate sale, hut hams continue neglected. For lard there has been an , ncreased demand, and toe sales reach 70 tons, generally at an advance of is. per cwt., leaving the stock very low. I n cheese there has been rather more doing, at steady prices. Butter sells slowly, but with frosty weather may improve a little. RA I, PRODUCE MARKET, IItY 21. LIVERPOOL AGRI CU FEBIIM 6. (1. a. (I.

The British n arkets, held in comae of the week, are still reported to have been well sup plied with Wheat, Barley, and Oats direct from the growers, who continuing to show a willingness to sell, each of these articles is again stated to be in most cases rather lower in value ; the trade in other respects exhibiting little or no im provement. In Ireland the deliveries of native produce are said to be extremely small, with light stocks remaining in the hands of farmers ; which, with limited importations recently from abroad, and previous accumulations in granary decreas ing weekly, further supplies of foreign to a considerable extent will be indispensable until next harvest ; in most of the lead ing markets there, how.:ver, buyers appear to act cautiously, and consequently so far during the week little change, and nothing of an interesting character seems to have occurred. Although since last market all departments of the trade with us have been very inanimate, there was no evidence on the part of holders to press sales on lower terms, and up to this date, therefore, prices generally remained in nearly the same position as last noted. Our supplies of Grain and Oatmeal, coastwise and from Ireland, since Morday last are moderate, and of Flour trivial ; those from abroad, composing merely 2453 qrs. of Wheat, 1100 barrels and 3590 sacks of Flour from the United States and France, with 1030 qrs. of Egyptian Beans. Upon a very slender attendance of buyers at our Corn Exchange to-day, with a continued suspension of demand for investment, and little for consumption, we have to note an ex tremely dull sale for all descriptions of Wheat, whether Eng lish orForeign ; holders nevertheless adhered rather firmly to the reduced rates of Tuesday, which, though barely obtainable, appeared to remain nominally unvaried. States and Canadian Flour, with a temporary lull in the trade, was 3d. per barrel cheaper, French and Irish being proportionately depressed in value. Malting Barley and Malt receded is. per qr. each ; Grinding Barley remaining steady at late prices. Beans and Peas in slow request on the terms last noted. Oats and Oat meal, upon a limited inquiry, scarcely maintained their pre vious value. Indian Corn in granary and in the course of landing, was in tolerable request at our quotations, and several cargoes now at calling ports have changed hands. BRITISH. Wheat, Tr 70tb., s. d. s. d.

Liverpool and Wakefield steady yesterday, but without active business in any article. The same is the case at our market to-day. Though some slight concession might be made in certain qualities of Wheat and Flour, the disposition to do this is not sufficiently general to render any alteration necessary in our late prices. Other articles steady. . MANCIIESTER.—We have to report an increased disposition for business during the past week. Greater confidence in prices has led to an active inquiry in various departments; and the aggregate of the operations has been really large in proportion to . the limited extent of the available supply. The buying of yarns has been both for shipment and home consumption— much more largely, however, for the former than the latter. An advance of *d. to id. per lb. upon previous rates has been realised for such counts and sorts as are most in demand, and the rest have hardened in price. The more general causes of improvement have been aided by the Eastern advices, which show a still favourable state of trade at Bombay and Shanghae, with cymptnms of probable amendment at 0,1, , ,,tta. These anxiety on the part of the holders to press sales.
