STAFFORDSHIRE IRON WORES.—III the Lords' com mittee, on Tuesday, Mr. Barker, iron and coal master, of South Staffordshire, was examined. He said the make of iron in the district of South Staffordshire was 9000 tons of pig iron weekly, being nearly one-third of all the make of Great Britain. The whole make of pig iron for the United Kingdom was 30,000 tons weekly. Of this 10,000 were made in South Wales, 9000 tons in South Staffordshire, 7000 tons in Scotland, and the remaining 3000 tons in Derbyshire and Shropshire. THE STOAT AND THE HARE.—A farmer while on his way to attend Bedford market, on Saturday, heard screams as if from an animal in distress, in a field ad joining the road. He proceeded to the spot, and found a hare attacked by a stoat, in the agonies of death. So intent was the ferocious little creature on the destruction of its victim, that the approach of the stranger was un heeded, who, with the butt end of his whip, and before the death-struggle of the hapless hare had ceased, laid the stoat dead at his feet. The hare was of the male kind, and very large, weighing about 10Ibs., whilst that of its little blood-thirsty antagonist scarcely exceeded half a pound.—Bedford Mercury. MINISTERIAL MAJORITIES.—A minister with a large majority, like a tradesman with a great capital, may go on for a long time in a bad way without coming to ruin. He may break into his principle over and over again without being compelled to relinquish his business : but the time will come at last when he will be under the necessity of doing so. The Whigs have already afforded an instance of the inevitable failure that results from a course of reck less extravagance or unprincipled expediency. They commenced by a large capital which they dwindled away by degrees, and Sir R. Peel is doing the same thing as speedily as possible. The stock of popularity which the ministers had at one time to back them has long been sensibly diminishing, and the proceedings at some of the recent elections serve to show that the government is in very bad order.—Times.

As it regards a professedly Christian pestle, could anything less be requited, or anything be less objectionable, or anything more appropriate, in respect of the teachers of colleges to bk: paid from the national resources? The objections stated by the Home Secretary to the clause are most justly described by the epithet contemptible. That Mr. Gladstone should be found among the opponents of it is mournful • but, at the same time, is inst ruc ti ve, as more fully developing to the country the unsound notions of that remarkable man. He objected (we quote from the Times) to the test " on account of its ambiguity. He likewise objected to it because it involved a new theological proposition of a solemn nature, and because. in his opinion, that proposition should not, without further investigation (1), be established as a part of the permanent law of the country." The right honourable gentleman advanced other ohkctions of equal potency. The real objection, as we believe, was stated by Mr. Redington, in the following words :—" The introduction of such a test as that proposed by the hon. gentleman would excite great dissatisfaction among the Roman Catholics of Ireland." Yes, such are Papists. TILE LATE DUEL.—Lieutenants Hawkey and Pym gave notice of their intention to stand their trials at the present assizes at Winchester, and they were at Portsmouth on Thursday, but they have been advised to keep out of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne-- ham District Bank. rrHE object of this Railway is to form a direct line of 1. communication from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the ports of Shields Middlesborough.Tynemouth. and Sunderland, SeahamHarbour, ihe rising ports of Hartlepool, Stock ton-on-Tees, and the other ports on the north-east coast of England, to the important towns of Clitheroe,Treston, Blackburn, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Chorley, Manchester, and Liverpool, and the other great manufacturing and commercial towns of Lancashire. . Commencing at Preston, it will proceed by the Valley of the Ribble to Clitheroe, where it meets with the pro posed extension of the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton line from Blackburn to Clitheroe ; it will thence proceed to Settle and Hawes by the most direct course, and by the Valley of the Ure and the Wensleydale, to the towns of Askrigg and Richmond. near way until nest Isizes. The depositions had been pre p.'red ; and Mr. Baron Platt, in his charge to the grand jury, alluded to the case, and said that a party who caused the death of another under circumstances disclosing a purpose to gratify a feeling of revenge was guilty of mur der. He said, with regard to the case where the pence each latter place it wilt form a jtuiction pith the Great North of England and Newcastle and Darlington Railways by means of the Richmond Branch of the former Railway. The population of the districts thus placed in direct communication with each other, independently of the intermediate population, may be safely considered to amount to 570,000 on the north-east, and on the south west 1,670,000. This line, forming the most direct route from the north ern and eastern districts of England, via Fleetwood, to Belfast and the North of Ireland, will greatly facilitate an interchange of commerce between the two countries '- , ts a sating of upwards of 40 mil es over t h e sh- piuvucituuti Having oven given to the slayer by the de• ceased, it had been laid down, that, in order to reduce the offence in such case from murder to manslaughter, it was essential that the wounding, battery wr. t ' ' - inflicted ' immea ..ty upon the occurrence of the provo cation; for, if there were sufficient cooling time for pas sion to subside and reason to interpose, and the pers on so provoked afterwards kills the other, this is venge, and not heat of blood, and, accordingly, amounts to murder. If, therefore, two persons deliberately fight a duel, and one of them be bided, the other and his se cond are guilty of murder, no matter how grievous the provocation, or by which party it was given ; and even the second of the deceased is guilty of the same crime, as being present, aiding and abetting. It may. perhaps, be suggested, that, in the case under coneideraion, the wound inflicted in the duel was not the immediate cause iberate re or (learn, and that it had, in fact, resulted from the sur .gical operation. But this would not be an available de fence if the wound originally given was mortal, and if the effect of the surgical treatment had only been to hasten the decease. THE ELECTIONS.—On Monday the nomination of a candidate for the representation of West Suffolk. in the room of Colonel Rushbrooke, took place, when Captain Bennet, an opponent of the leag-w, wit: returned without opposition. On Tuesday, Sir F. Thesiger, the new attor ney-general, was re' urned for Abingdon, by a majority of 30, the numbers being at the close—Thesiger 156, General Caulfield 126. Sir J. Duckworth was returned for Exeter, the same day, by a majority of 670, the numbers being,—Duckworth, 1,258; Briggs, 588. At Abingdon the governmPr t :ias received a lesson ; though not so dis tinct an one as was desirable. The Attorney-Ge neral, alrc.idy representing the borough, of popular manners ~ nd good character, and having a day's start in the ca-iN ass, has been able to gain no larger a majority than thirty votes, over a mere stranger! And this in a borough which has never been contested since the Reform Bill, and which was considered so " safe" that the govern ment gave Sir F. Thesiger his promotion and sent him down for re-election, without the slightest apprehension of any danger. So far, then, has the M aynoot h Bi ll ope rated, even in the quiet borough of Abingdon. Cam bridge presents a painful scene. The two parties, Whig and Tory, have there conspired against the Protestant feeling of the town. Here the government was aware of its danger, and hesitated several days before it would in cur the risk. It was only when it was known that a mere Whig would be the opponent, and that the Maynooth question would not be raised,—that the government ven tured to appoint Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, and to send him down for re-election. Had a good Anti-Maynooth candidate been started, it is highly probable that Mr. Kelly would have declined the contest, and would have taken refuge in some pocket borough. STRUCTURE OF THE TEETH.—The teeth, it is well known to physiologists, are composed of bony structure, which is covered with a coating of enamel—a substance of a fibrous nature, and so hard as to strike fire with a steel. Notwithstanding its apparent hardness, the enamel is, however, extremely susceptible of injury, and it thus be comes highly important to ascertain what preparations are best adapted to preserve so important a substance in its pristine integrity and beauty. We do not hesitate there fore to recommend ROWLAND'S ODONTo, OR PEARL DENTIFRICE, as the most valuable means of purifying, embellishing, and preserving the Teeth and Gums, yet offered to the public.--See advt. ~..isting route between etewcastle and Liverpool.

The want of direct means of communica e Ports in the N- h between orth of En g l an d and the dion towns of Li verpool, Preston, Fleetwood, and Manchester, has been long felt ; the importance also of a system of easy railway communication around Manchester, extended to a much larger radius than at present is occupied by any lines towards the North, has been fully explained by the Board of Trade, as affording a greater choice of sites for the erection of mills and factories. The important local elements of traffic in slate, lead, ironstone, freestone, and lime, which will be derived from tie immediate vicinity of Wensleydale and Swaledale, and the other great mineral valleys along the line, are sufficiently obvious to all who are acquainted with the district, independent of the traffic in cattle and agricul tural produce from Durham, Darlington, Richmond, Settle, arid other g r az i ng di s t r i cts, which is now very considerable. It is believed that these sources of profit, together with the through traffic already alluded to, will yield a most ample return on the proposed capital. A preliminary survey has been taken of the line, and the sections are nearly completed. The length of the line between Preston and Richmond will be from seventy to seventy-five miles; and as no peculiar engineering dif ficulties exist, the capital determined to be raised has been estimated to be more than sufficient for the comple tion of the works. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of his subscription, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at £1 per cent per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Arrangements have been made with existing railway companies now in connexion with this undertaking, by which a portion of the capital will be required to be re served for them. Further arrangements are pending with other companies ; the Provisional Committee, therefore, reserve to themselves the right of making such extensions of this project and of increasing the capital for carrying out any such extensions as they may consider advantage ous, with the view of forming a comprehensive system of railway communication from the Northern and Eastern coast with Liverpool and Manchester and the manufac turing districts generally. Applications for shares must be made to the Solicitors, of whom also Prospectuses may be had, and should be made in the annexed form, accompanied by a reference to some member of the Provisional Committee, one of the Solicitors, or a Banker.

The principal part of that splendid and lovely scenery for which Wales is so justly celebrated, and which has attracted so large a number of visitors almost from time immemorial, will be found in the immediate vicinity of this linc. The surveys satisfactorily wove that the gradients of the line will be easy, and the expenses of construction unusually low. The Directors have every reason to anti cipate that a return of from 10 to 12 per cent. may be ex pected. The sanction and support of the landholders and others locally interested have been largely conceded. In addition to the foregoing important objects, the plan of this company comprises one of great national interest, namely, the improving the port of Aberystwith, and the formation of a hat beur of refuge for St. George's Chan nel. This subject has long been felt to be of great and vital importance by shipowners and nautical men in gene ral ; it is also known that the question of establishing har bours of refuge has for sonic time past occupied the consi deration of Her Majesty's Government, and great assist ance and support is anticipated from the Admiralty. The coast immediately contiguous to Aberystwith presents great facilities for the accomplishment of this design, Woich will be carried out at a comparatively moderate ex pense. Arrangemenss are now in progress (which it is intended shortly to announce) fora convenient communication, not only with Worcester, but also for the accommodation of the Golden Valley district, Peterchurch, &c.

Residence To the Provisional Committee of the Gloucester, Abe rystwith, and Central Wales Railway. I request that you will apportion me Shares of £25 each in the Glocester, Aberybtwith, and Central Business and Profession Date of Application Name, R THE proposal of th e lines of the Londo n , W orcester, and South Staffordshire Railway through the district to the W(st of London and Birmingham Railway, has called for the revival of a line in connection with the Lon don and Birmingham and Midland Railways, from the point of junction between those lines at Hampden-in- Arden to Warwick and Leamington, for which plans and sections were deposited by the Birmingham and Derby Railway Company (now united with the Midland Com pany) in 1841 and 1842, with a continuAtion of such line from Warwick and Leamington to join the London, Wor cester, and South Staffordshire Railway, the necessity for which was specially referred to in the prospectus of that undertaking, issued last autumn. This junction will be effected by two lines—one to the neighbourhood of South. am, and the other following the Valley of the Avon till it joins the Stratford and Moreton Railway, near Stratford upon-Avon, which crosses the London and Worcester line. To complete the communication with Cheltenham a branch will be made out of the London and Worcester line from Evesham to Ashchurch, on the Birmingham and Gloucester line. These objects are considered of so much importance by the local interests, that their full support has been ob tained for carrying them into effect. The report of the Board of Trade in favour of the Lon don and Worcester line states so fully the peculiar advan tages of that scheme that it is unnecessary to repeat them here. The reasons there given for the adoption of that measure apply, in a great degree, in f avour o f t h e present proposal, as c ompared with any rival scheme, and the lines now proposed are so connected with the London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire scheme, and with the system of railway communication which the Board of Trade have recommended in their report, that the success of that scheme may be considered to render certain the badoption of the the present project. All as i on may, however, . mad to great importance of the junction at am ton, in connection with the Trent and Churnet ( Valley line, by means of which a direct and uninterrupted com munication will be established with Lancashire and the North. The London and Birmingham, Midland. and London and Worcester Companies unite in co-operation with the local interests, to ensure the mos t e ff ec t ua l completion of the obj ec t s in view. A guarantee will be proposed by the above-mentioned Companies, and a due proportion of the shares will be re served for local interests. Careful surveys of the whole of the country have been made under the direction of Air. Robert Stephenson. and application will be made to Parliament for an act in the next session. The applications for Shares having already exceeded the number for allotment, no further applications can be re- 1 ceived.

The reviewer thinks it useful " to familiarise the public mind to.a state provision for the Roman Catholic clergy," but charac terises the proposed endowment as a " last and desperate reAource." The shoal off' Limehouse reach is now been blown up. It was upwards of a mile in length, and was an accumu lation of gravel mixed with stone, consolidated in greater or less degrees by what was conjectured to be the action of numerous petrifying springs. It was of so hard a cha racter, that it defied all efforts to remove it by dredging rriachit es; consequently it was determined to attempt its removal by a series of submarine explosions, effected by placing mines in cavities bored in the shoal, and fired by galvanic power. FATAL. STORMS.—On Sunday and Monday week the thunder storms in France were very destructive. A man and a horse he was riding were killed at Honflear. At Gonneville, near Rouen, another man and horse were killed. At Aurinville, near Paris, a man employed in L ino. and one of the two horses he was driving were steeple of the church of the favourite Trouville, near Honfleur, was destroyed, 'schin, in Bohemia, was struck at one -ing in five different parts. Forty ve barns were reduced to ashes. A woman and a boy were found in the ruins. TERRIFIC STORM IN BIRMINGHAM.—OR Sunday nigsht this town and neighbourhood were visited by one of the most terrific tempests which has occurred in the recollection of the oldest man living. The lightning, Is!lowed by crashes of thunder, was of the most awfvl description ; while the rain fell in torrents. Some of the streets, in consequence of the height of the flood, were rendered altogether impassable. In many of them the water was middle deep, and in more than one instance life was endangered in attempts to preserve property. It is calculated that some of the tradesmen, in the lower parts of the town (in particular grocers) must have lost to the amount of hundreds of pounds by the sudden and destructive inundation. The devastation occasioned by this awful tempest was not confined to Birmingham. It extended miles around the town. plOug killed watering 'n of W moment by 11 1 twenty-fi THI LIVERPOOL STANDARD ,esidenee, and Profession of a Referee— NEWARK AND SHEFFI ELD RAILWAY. — rIPHE Committee o f M anagement beg to announce to 1. the Shareholders, that they have every reason to be lieve the bill was defeated in committee by the production, on the part of their opponents, of an alternative line, the plan and section of which the promoters of the bill were not allowed any opportunity of testing before the case was closed ; they have since done so. and ascertained the sec tion to be most incorrect; in fact, 20 chains longer than it ought to have been, by which the gradients were of course proportionably flattened. The discovery and proof of this error have not, how ever, been deemed of sufficient importance to warrant a recommittal of the bill. The very general support which the Newark and Shef field line, with its extensions, has received, coupled with the strong recommendatio n from the board of trade on public grounds, affords the best assurance that it must ob tain the sanction of the legislature in the next session of parliament. In the meantime, a new and careful survey of the whole line will be made by skilful engineers, and every requisite means adopted, by such modifications of the original line and addi , ional extensions, as will render the scheme as perfect as possible, and secure the interests of the share holders. An account of the expenses will be made up as soon as possible, and the shareholders who wish to withdraw from the undertaking are requested to give notice of their in tion to the Secretary before the Ist of August next. All persons who do not give such intimation previous to that date will be held as participating in the amended project. By order, JOHN DENNISTON, Secretary. Mansfield, July 1. 1845.
