OPENING OF TIIE STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY.—
Birmingham, Monday, 11 o'clock P.M.—A very serious
breach of the peace occurred at Wolverhampton
to-day. The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company
attempted to force a passage over the above rail-
way. The officials of the London and North Western
resisted, placing an engine across the line for that purpose.
Several thousands of persons were on the spot, and the
police were overpowered by the navvies. At one time a
serious riot was apprehended, and some fighting did so-
tually take place. The authorities interfered, and Mr.
Baker, the engineer, and an engine-driver in the service of
the North Western, were taken before the magistrates, but
after a lengthened hearing, the summons was dismissed.
A suspension of hostilities has been agreed to, and at eight
o'clock to-night the town was again comparatively quiet,
bat much excitement still prevailed.
