HEREFORD, ROSS, AND OLOUCES iER
RAILWAY.

HEREFORD, WEDNESDAY.—The half-yearly meet-
ing of this company, adjourned from August last, was held
here yesterday, to decide as to the policy of buying one
general station at Hereford, for the three railseuyi concen-
trating there, vie., the Shrewsbury and Hereford, the Now-
pert, Abergavenny, and Hereford, and the Hereford, Rose,
and Gloucester. Mr. Booker, M.P., presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meet-
ing, said a letter had been received by the directors from
Mr. Brunel, their engineer, suggesting that the joint sta-
tion for this lino and the Shrewsbury and Hereford line,
which are bound together by sec. 36 of this company's act,
should be placed on a line with Barn-court and the Brom-
yord, or Ailstone-hill-road, u the most convenient pout for
the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hen ford line to com-
municate with the other two. At a recent meeting of the
directors, the board resolved that Mr. Brunel should be re-
quested to consult tho engineer of the Shrewsbury and
Hereford Company, and to indicate the precise spot on
which such station is to be erected, in order that that point
might be settled, and that the board might communicate
with the Shrewsbury and Abergavenny Cempanies on the
subject. The chairman understood that the Newport and
Abergavenny station would be about half a mile from the
intended station of this compaiy, but by their act they had
power to come within a hundred yard', %heresy this com-
pany was tied down toe certain spot, train which they could
not deviate without the consent of the Shrewsbury and
Hereford Company.
The Rev. A. CLIVE said it appeared to him that tho
Shrewsbury and Hereford and this company hail decided to
have a junction at • particular place, nod now said to the
Newport and Abergavenny Company, " You may come in
if you like." He objected to this the directors sypeared
to be actuated by a spirit of rivalry, excited by thecxisting
hostilities between broad and narrow gunge iuti'resiii. The
result would be inconvenience to the public in having two
separate stations for Hereford.
The CHAIRMAN expliiihed that this company and the
Shrewsbury and Hereford were anxious to place the station
ate point between their termini, which would give them
the greatest facilities fora junction, and that pi.iut would
be convenient to the Newport Company.
A warm discussion ensued, which ended in the chairman
moving the confirmation of the directors' reconmet:ilation
Mr. G. CHOOSE seconded the motion.

The Rev. A. CLIVE moved on amendment for a con
ference with the Newport end Abergavcony Comp...) pre-
vious to coming to a decision.

Mr. ANTHONY seconded the amendment.

Sir R. PltlOE expresstil his belief that the Newport and
Abergavenny's only desire was, that the two oll.er ,:ompa-
nies should come to their station.
On a division the amendment wee rejected, and the oti-
nal motion carried by a large tri..jority.
A discussion then took place with reference to the nume-
rous projects for effecting a railway communication with
Worcester. Several shareholders expressed thenselvts fa-
vourable to an application to parliatu. at by this company
for a lino from Hereford through March and Malvern to
Worcester, which would save eight miles of plats and ►and.
A vote of thanks to the chairman cued the business of
the meeting.

CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD UNION

RAILWAY.

CIIELTENHAII, TUESDAY.— A mocticg was held
this afternoon at the Town-hall here "to consith r de-
termine upon what steps can be taken to obtain a direct
railway communication from Cheltenham to L•mion rid
Oxford, and to pan sub resolutions thereon as may be de-
termined on at the meeting."
Tho chair was taken by Mr. Russell, the high bailliff.
The discussion which took plac-.. woo animated, snit the
project of the proposed new railway, brought out under the
auspices of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Railway Company, was warmly supported. The town of
Cheltenham, although possessing two lines of railway—one
on each gauge—is very inconveniently situated as regards the
metropolis and the country eastward of the town. 1n 1817 an
act of parliament was passed—the Cheltenham and Oxford
Railway act—for constructing a IMO of railway between
these two places on the broad gunge in connection with the
Great Western Railway. Thu line was promoted by the
Great Western Company, but its construction tits been de-
ferred until the powers of the act have expired tl.is year.
This circumstance, and the fact that the Oxford, Worcester,
' and Wolverhampton Companrare at this moment on the
eve of opening their line from Wolverhampton to Wolvereot,
near Oxford, and are, moreover (by means of the Looduu and
Mid-Western Railway), seeking an independent nere, to the
metropolis, has mate.ially altered the position of the pro-
moters of the original Cheltenham and Oxford Railway. A
new company has, therefore, been formed for constructing a
line to ',tenet the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton
Railway with Witney,Burford,Northleach, and Cheltenham.
It is contemplated hereafter to undo the Cheltenham and
Oxford Un'on and the London an I Mid-Western Itailway-s
with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway
—thus forming one undertaking. The new line will be
about 34 miles in length, which is something less than h.ll
the present distance by railway from Cheltenham to Ox-
ford, and will reduce the distance between London and
Cheltenham, by the London and Mid-Western by 23 miles.
The line *is proposed to be worked by the Oxford, Wor-
' nester, and Wolverhampton Company. A contract is to be
made with that company for the payment of a weep) for
the um of the line, so adjusted as to secure 6 per rent. per
annum on the paid-up share capital, without impl eating the
Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company in a gua-
rantee. The Oxford and Wolverhampton Company are to
provide rolling stock and plant, and arrangements are to be
made by the Oxford and Wolverhampton Company by
I which direct access L to be afforded to the the South-
Western station in London. The landowners along the
line are favourable to the undertaking, and the surveys
made for the old company aro expected to be rendered en
1 part available for the new.
After a somewhat lengthened discussion, remilutiens in
favour of the undertaking were adopted.

URWRITTMir HISTORICAL MINUTIA.—Events of a
common order, handed down from sire to son, may be un-
worthy of the " dignity of history," but they are some-
times interesting. An elderly acquaintance had a great-
uncle, who died in the year 1818, aged 93. This person
remembered hearing his grandfather speak of Charles I.
passing through the village of Huggins:tile, Leicestershire,
with a party of cavalry. They halted at the village inn,
then kept by a person named Robert Ball, the soldiers
being drawn up in line in front of the inn, while a servant
earned a milk-pail full of ale from trooper to trooper, in
, which was a jug, with which each man supplied himself
with a draught of the beverage. The party did not dis-
mount, but the officers did, one of the party Irking his
horse to the village blacksmith to be shod. When the
farrier turned ep the hone's foot to examine the shoe, be
observed the initials C. R., mounted by a crown, and he
immediately suspected it was the king's hone. ffte asked
the principal person of the party if he had the honour of
shoeing the king's horse. The person spoken to replied he
had, and that ho was the king. The blacksmith immedi-
ately fell on his knees in reverence to the king, who bade
him rise end shoe the hone well, and entered into conver-
sation with him in an affable and pleasant manner. The
hone being shod, the party rode off rapidly, as they had
arrived, apparently as if closely pursued by an enemy. The
incident was also told to my friend's great-uncle by the
grandson of the blacksmith, who heard it related by the
eye-witness himself.—Fran " Notes arid Queries."
Tin Kos-t-Noon.—At the meeting of the British
Association of &Marie, at Belfast, en the 7th alt , Pro-
fessor Unseat read a paper on ibis diamond, in which,
from evidence he had collected, and confirmatory experi-
moots which ho had made in floor spar, which breaks in
the some dietetics as the diamond, he considered this not
to be the mdsteed diamond mentioned by Taverner in 1665,
of which it waaprobably only a portion, abort one-third.
The other petioles, le consider,. constitute the. great Rus-
sian diamond and the Persian, which is in the form of •
slab, and was described by Dr. Bake at the last meeting of
the amociation. By placing these three together, cue large
dodecahedral crystal would be produced, which is a common
form of the diamond.m Sir D. Brewster gave his opinion in
support of the opinions of Professor Tennant, and also
stated that the English translation of Taverner omitted
many important pomts.
SHIPBUILDING AT TROON.—We learn that a com-
pany are in treaty with the Marquis of Titeklield for se-
masmodation at Troon harbour, suitable for extensive
operations in iron shipbuilding and repairs. The noble
marquis, It is reported, has evinced great willingness to
'moorage an undertaking of this nature and in addition
to appropriating about ten acres of ground in the immediate
vicinity of the harbour, has offered to expend about 30,0002.
fa preparing the premises for the work in question. The
railway company have also agreed to an alteration in the
tails of the quay to accommodate these parties. If the
scheme is carried out, the population of Tram will receive
en immediate augmentation of 2,000 or 3,000 persons.—

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The following are extracts from s paper on the
causes awl the Rases of preveatioo of railway widest,
read tettatly by Cantata Mark Haab at the tostitutioa of
civil enemata :

" Experisace is daily adding to the knowledge of the
defter, which, in an infinite variety of occult forms, metre-
eerily attach to the nionaitatam of high speeds, sad this
experience is constantly suggesting fresh preceutioas mad
means of prevention. To detail ac briefly as possible some
of the ',magnum% causes of accident, and to *spiels the
measures adopted for securing the safety of the public (the
paramount and primary duty of railway management), is
the subject of the present paper. A firm, substantial, and
well-kept road, is undoubtedly the bowie of all safety
in railway travelling, and with the heavy and
increasing traffic now penis' over the iron high-
ways of Cheat Britain, it requires the moot inces-
sant vigilance (especielly since the speed of the trains
has been increased) to maintain the way in the condition
which is essential for the safety of the passengers and the
iscestrialy of the rolling stock. As the intervals between
trains become less frequent, as the speed of travelling is
accelerated, end AS the heavy merchandise traffic, which
promises to fins, Cr. long, the most important feature in the
reteir.ta of many lints, inerease.,the repairs become greater,
and at the same time more difficult to carry on. Heavier rails,
with shorter bearings, are gradually being introduced,
wh.rever relaying has become necessary, and engineers
are fully sr-usable that • road constructed to support
mod. rate trains, drawn by light engines at low
speech., is uttetly inadequate to endure the crushing
effect. of monster locomotives at express speeds. The
dace:. of larninati in, deflection. and splitting of the rails
are ia;.ialy increasing; whilst transverse fractures (a op,-
ries rat failure alramt unknown a fir years ago) are now of
!rut-lent occurrence ; and the diffieolty of maintaining the
gauge of the line, under the present weight., not only in-
creases, bat mach of the oscillating motion which is so un-
pleasant to the - 11cr, and so destructive to the
stock employed, mast be attributed to the same
cause. Many of the rails recently supplied have
shown symptoms of failure at an unusually early
period, gad are, in many instances, in a worse condition,
after two or three years wear, than old and much lighter
rails, which have been subjected to precise) y the same duty
for twelve or sixteen years. So grave ha. the aspect of this
matte r become, and so general has been the complaint, that
one railway company has come to the determination of
rolling its own rails, and has given instructions for erect-
ing works tar that purpose. The circumstance of a train
running off the line is very rare, and when such an event
does occur, it may generally be attributed to some palpable
neglect of the platelayers, to some defect in the machinery,
or to some obstructions designedly placed on the line. The
latter it unhappily a very fertile source of danger,
and one against which, where a morbid desire to in-
flict injury guides the miscreant hand, it is very diffi-
cult indeed to guard. ISQUICTOUI instances might be
given which would tacit* surprise, from the cun-
ning ilesign exhibited, and the can apparently enr-
olled in selecting • spot likely to be fraught with the
greatest amount of mischief; bat the detail would occupy
too much space. line only, and that the latest attempt of
this t.d.d, may be mentioned. A feu weeks ago, upon a
bran. li line in 1. incashire, the points of an impotent siding
were Maned open, and in order to prevent the signal-man
from aft sing the intended accident, the wire of the Rati-
fier) signal Rill lashed with a piece of string, and was thus
prevented from acting. Happily, however, by a fortuitous
etreurnstanee, the 'litany was discovered • few minutes be•
fore the tossienger train approached. It has been cus-
tomary, when such attempts have bees made, to offer a
considerable reward foe the discovery of the perpetrators.
It is questionable, however, whether setting a patient watch
and estab:ishing a careful inquiry throughout the neigh-
bonehead, are not mare effectual means of tracing the
ellgaillt

" Great weight is generally attached to the question of
regularity in the times of the trains, as an essential ele-
ment in their safety, and whenever an accident OMIT., the
press end public opinion, as expressed through a jury, seise
on this point es the primary cause of the mishap. The
author would by no means undervalue the importance of
punctuality, and as rigid an adherence as possible, to the
published time tables, but it may be doubted whether undue
stress has not bees attached to it. Under • well-regulated
system of signals, and with • well-disciplined staff, the
greatest irregularity, whatever inconvenience it may pro-
duce, ought not to lead to danger. To a certain extent
the very uncertainty of the puss(' of trains produces
safety, by the continual vigilance it necessitates, and as few
accidents occur in the most busy thoroughfare of London,
so the most crowded parts of a railway exhibit the greaten
freedom from casualty.
tt It is fortunate, indeed, that the public safety is not ne-
cessarily linked with punctuality, for the extension of the
system, and the coonexion with cross lines, by coaches and
steamboats, is daily importing into the long trains (fedi
thence. of delay. The mail train of the London and North
Western Company starts from Dublin on the west, and
Aberdeen on the north ; during its passage it tonneeta with
a great number of railways, the irr.gulardies of each and
all of which bemuse multiplied as the train advances.
When, therefore, it reaches the London and North Western
line it has probably missed its appointed turn, it conse-
quently becomes en exceptional train during its entire
transit, yet none is better protected, or passes along the
railway with greater safety. The facility of working a
trunk railway, with • heavy teak, under the variations
alluded to, hoe, however, been greatly promoted by the in-
troduction and extensive use of the electric telegraph. Just
as the demands on the railway system were beginning to
outgrow its existing machinery for safety, this remarkable
power came so its aid, and extended its capacity in an in-
calculable degree. The effect cannot be better illustrated
than by • reference to its operation on the London and
North Western Railway, during the (heat Exhibition.
Prior to the opening, the directors had been mach pressed
by the Royal Commissioner, for greatly reduced
fare', to afford all classes of the community an oppor-
tunity of participating in an enjoyment, which could net be
expected to recur. The result is well known. The most
distant parts of the kingdom poured their population into
London, and the aggregate number exceeded expectation.
la addition to the passengers by the ordinary trains on that
railway, which were very largely increased, 775,000 per-
sons were conveyed to and from Loudon by excursion
trains, for whose conveyer's). 24,000 extra carriages paired
through the Ruston Station. The receipts of the railway
rose to 70,0001. la • single week. That such an extraor-
dinary crane °entering in a single focus, arriving at irregu-
lar hours, and in absent unlimited ambers front more then
thirty railways, should have been carried on for six coati-
napes months, without the most trifling casualty, or
without interruption to the very extensive bonnets ia mer-
chandise, coals, and settle, continually moving en
