toNll,tc situ S01"111 WI..TLEN It.tILWAT COM-
etx re sort which is to be read at the special meet-
lite of this company on Tuesday next, gives au outline of
tin arrangement proposed to be entered into respect
Me the con-true.ion of the new line from Salisbury
to Ester. It is to the following effect:—" That the South
Weaterei Railway Company, woo are to find none of the
'Need fee making the extension line from S lisbury to
Emu r, will, when the new hoe is handed over to them in
a thoroughly complete state, agree to work it (with their
sent refiner stock), at 50 per cent. of the receipts. That be.
pad tins the South Western Company will agree to divide
'madly with the new eumpany the Oct profits of the midi-
tlunal western nettle which the new line brings to the now-
rxi :ion lines of this company at Salisbury: This arrange.
meet i to continue for 2.1 years, unlearn in the meanwhile
tlu tc,tim of the new company, arising from its own line,
te-sitar with the contribution of the South Westeni
Compute. shall amount to mere than *ix per cent.
oia 1.109,0001. (the guaranteed cost), in which event
the tontribution of the South Western Company shall be
n data el to inch a sum us will make up sex per cent.
The hue proposed to be worked by the Smite Western
C 01,11.417 commences at the authorised terminus of
the llasinpitoke cad Salisbury extension of the London
and south Western Railway Company, and endsat the
leonine:okay, Exeter. It will Lo tt9 miles to length ; and
ft's propirad to construct it with 10 miles of double and 79
reit,. of augle way, with Land and bridges sufficient fur the '
addition of a second line of way at any future period. The
liar will tie eosistruct. ,1 to the satisfaction of an engineer
Ili/pointed by this company, and the engagements of this
company with regard to it will not take Ofect until it is
b over in COlUplete working order. The ea iwoditure
of r .Pital on the part of the Loudon and South 'Western
Railway Company would be limited to the completion of
the unii..ished branch from B.uingstoko to Salisbury, and
presiding additional stocking stock fur the new teethe, which
t`ls aglitun probably amounting to between 4d0,0001. and
o'relshae, would constitute the whole outlay of this company
t H•euring the traffic 01'120 additional miles of railway.
It is nercssary to mention Wilt another proposal, emanating
fr Metier of great respectabilitti and local influence, has
shoo leen submitted ta 6°1141, playing for the counte-
nant. and Ado( thi. company in he construction of an ex-
trusion of the coast lino from Dorchester to Bridpoit and
lecter, parliamentary notice fur which has been given. The
!lire clots were melee a hope that this proposal might have
bet n aaticably combinedwith the plans of the promoters of
the central line ; but :to their wishes in this respect have not
leen realised, they have not telt themselves at liberty to
hold out a prospect a this company's extending at the pre-
sent ti ..e aid to any other project fur western extension
than that central communication for which this company
has so long and strenuously contended. In connexion with
titi‘w, 'tern extension from Salisbury to Exeter must be
eorni'b red the completion of the Basingstoke and Salisbury
branch.

BA.\beit AND CABNAIITON RAILWAY.—The usual
parliamentary notices have been given for the next session,
for p,,vers to sell or lease this line to tho Chester and Holy-
heal Company, and to make proper arrangements with
Rut to the traffic. Notices ham also been given for an
at, of the line at Cameroon, to terminate on the
44"/ at that town, or on an embankment proposed to be
%telex lon the shore. It is confidently expected that this
Lee .1.1 be opened for traffic before Christmas; the works
Ilearnily an rapidly advancing.

The December session of the above court commenced this
morning, before the Right lion. the Lord Mayor, the Ik-
corder, Aldermen Sydney, and Sir R. W. Carden, the
Deputy-Sherilfs, &c. &e.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names of 65
prisoners.
The Recorder, in his charge to the grand jury, congra-
tulated them upon the probability of their labours being of
short duration, ant he said that although there were
several very serious cases in the calendar, vet they
did nut appear to present any legal difficulty or to
require any observations from him respecting them,
awl there were only ona or its., to which he consi-
dered it necessary to direct their attention. lilis lordship
then referred to the case of • man named Murphy end
his wife, who were charged with the manslaughter
of their child by neglecting so provide it with i
proper food and nourishment, and other il!-treatment,
and he informed the grand jury, that although in ordinary
cases of larceny a wife was considered not to bo liable for ,
any acts done by her in the presence of her husband,
upon the principle that she was acting under his
co. rcion, he said that that principle did not apply
to c l‘f, of manslaughter or murder, and if it should be
proved that the woman hod done any act tending to cau.e
the death of the child, they would be justified in returning
a true bill against her. if the death was shown to be the
result of want of fool only, inasmuch as the duty was not
solely unon the husband to provide that fond for
his family, • question of law might arise whether
the wife would in that ewe be liable, but he would remind
them that if any joint acts were established againA the pri-
soners, to Sod the bill amnion hrth of them, nod ony ques-
tions of law that might arise would then bc discussed before
the judges.
'lac grand jury then retired.

MONMOUTHSHIRE AM) GLAMORGAN-

SHIRE BANKING COMPANY.

During the week a meeting of the creditors of this
bank has been held at Newport, for the parpow of recessing
a report from the creditors' committee. In this document
they speak strongly in fevour of the affairs of the
vmmany being wound up by Cie county court et
the district in case an order absolute almuld be made by
the Master of the Rolls. They then proeced to say :—lu
case en order absolute be made fur winding up the com-
pany, the authority of the shareholders over the asa,ets will
then be at an end and all the s state of the company will
vest in the official managen, when an in.pointment of such
officers is made. That part of the arrangement between the
creditors and shareholders which contemplated the realisa-
tion end distribution of the esecte under en inspection for
the cr.diture, will, in the: case, be impracticable, but there
terms to us no reason why, in the month of January next,
the smaller creditors should not he satisfh..l and a dividend
of Zs. in the pound paid to the other creditors by means of
the c eitributions, which the shareholder, have undertaken
to provide; and wo are convinced that great advantages
may be thereby secured, both to creditors and shareholders.
Nothing wculd be so injurious to the great body of the cre-
ditor,, or so ruinous to very many of the shareholders, as
actions brought by individual creditor, a::tiust individual
bliere7,olders ; hut such actions cannot be .:revented, unless
each creditor is assured of the furbearance of all, and this
iusurance can only be given by a general agreement on the
part of the creditors, that no notion shall he brought iu the
name of any creditor, except for the benefit of all, and then
only with the sanction of the committee. Shareholders
hare tinder•aken to contribute voluntarily, in proportion to
their fanny, and further cm.tributiors a like character
may be exp. eted ; but the shareholders ems contributing
will require to he protected against action, at law, and we
holieve it to be the interest of the creditors to give them
that protection, inasmuch as their ability to make the fur-
ther large payments, which will be rcquir d to meet calls
under the Winding-up Acts, or otherwise, will depend in a
great degree on their being allowed to manage their own coo-
cerns, 111 A not reduced to a state of bankruptcy or insolvency,
by proceedings at the instance of individual creditors. iu
order to ferther this arrangement, we have considered the
previsions of two agreements, which we purpose shall I•e
eettled by counsel on behalf of the creditors. We recom-
mend thie plan, in the belief that it will commend itself to
the fat ouralde consideration of the Master of the Rolls, and
that his honour will be pleased to give such 'special direc-
tions es miy enable your committee to proceed with suer
arrangement. . .

Atter the report had been read, questions were ticked by
various creditors with a view to edeiting information, and
the replies gives appeared generally to to satisfactory to
the inquirers. In the course of the discussion there
was considerable aversion expressed to going into
the Bristol Court of Bankruptcy, as poetics were already
known to be laying snares to get the company in-
volved in expensive litigation. The report was ultimately
adopted nein. eon., as was a resolution empowering the
committee to take steps for carrying it into effect, but they
were passed upon the understanding that the committee
should endeavour to have the business conducted through
the county cmrts.

Arnoctors 31isenrgr.—On Saturday last, some
person or parsons cut the rope of a pit, called 4. Will
Vaughan's l'it," at lied Lake, lietley, and when the over-
!. sees were going down, with a boy, they sot being aware
of the mischief done, just after they were let down a little
way the cut rope broke, and they were
_precipitated to the
b•ittoin. One of them, named Thomas Hayward, was killed
almost instantly, for when he was lifted up from the bot-
tom by a person who went down by another rope, he only
gave a sigh and died. The other man, John Pritchard, was
taken out of the pit alive, but died almost directly after.
The poor boy, named Thomas Rigby, was taken home
alive, but lingered iu pain till night, when death put an end
to his sufferings, though everything was done to save life
that could be by the medical attendant. The roc was cut
about eleven yanls from the end, and the depth of the pit
being 43 yard., the unfortunate men were precipitated a
depth of 42 yards.—Eddoircs 'Journal.

THE NEW PROJECTED WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.—
The report of the commission has not yet hen pn,ented to
parliament, but we can give what we believe will be the
recommendations contained in it. The commissioners re-''
commend that the old structure should be used as a tempo-1
racy bridge, and that a new bridge should be comtructed
adjoiuiug, or as mar to possible to the present bridge, on
the north side, that is, lower down the river ; that it should
not Is • leas than 60 feet in width, including the footways;
that the height of head way of the centre och should nut
he less than 2 i feet 6 inches above Trinity datum; that it
ehonld c-moist of no more than five arches; and that it
'Muhl la. an iron structure resting on stone piers, as this
would require lens rise than a stone bridge, admit of g
greater span of arch, and throw less pressure on the foun-
dations. With respect to the height and width, Mr. Barry,
in his evidence, at tted, as indispensable conditions, if the
bridge were to remain where it now is, that the roadway
should be least from shore to shore; that the width of the
roadway should not be less than 100 feet; and that the
height of the road should not exceed 20, feet
abuse Trinity standard. These conditions, of course,
had relerence to the effect of the New Homes
of Parliament, and the commission admitted their import-
ance in that respect ; but considering that a bridge of this
limited height and eats Tided width would prove an obstacle
to the passage of vessels, they have not adopted them. A
brid7e of the width proposed by Mr. Barry would be a fine
feature as well as great convenience, and it should be consi-
dered whether or not it might bo obtained, or, at all events,
approximated, without increasing the obstruction in the
river, by means of overhanging footpaths carried by canti-
levers or balance girders. The property scheduled to come
down includes the houses on the south side of Bridge-street,
extending as far as the India Board, and then returns into
Parliament-street. On the Surrey side the houses now
standing on both sides of Bridge-road are taken as far as
Belvedere-road on the north side, and Stangate on the south
side, and a few houses on the east side of Belvedere-road, at
the corner of Bridge-road.—The Builder
"THERE IS NO lltsrAKE."—Tho Duke of Welling-
ton's reply .to Mr. Huskisson, " There is no mistake," has
become familiar in the mouths of both those who remem-
ber the political circumstances that gave rise to it, and those
who base received it traditionally, without inquiring into
the origin of it. You may perhaps think it worthy of a
" note" that this was not the first occasion on which the
Duke used those celebrated words. The Duke (then Earl
of Wellington) in a private letter to Lord Bathurst, dated
Flores de Avila, 24th July, 1812, writes in the following
easy style :—" I hope that you will be pleased with our
battle, of which the despatch contains as accurate an ac-
count as 1 eon give you. There was no mistake, everything
went ou as it ought ; and there never was an army so beaten
in so short a time." The whole letter is well deserving of
insertion ; but my object is simply to draw attention to the
occasion on which the Duke first used the sentence now so
well known.—Notes and Queries.
TUE INTRAMVILiL INTERMENTS BILL.—On Satur-
day, at the weekly meeting of the vestry of St. Marylebone,
I held at the Court-house, Alfred Daniell, Esq., in the chair,
Mr. Whitmore brought up a memorial to Lord J. Russell on
the subject of the Metropolislntermentsßill,praying his lard-
ship to bring in a bill early in the next session of parliament,
allowing parochial authorities to purchase sTtes for extra-
mural interments under local control, and establisi.ing sack
a scale of fees and charges as may be sufficient to carry out
the object.—Mr. Whitmore moved, "That the memorial
be adopted, and a deputation appointed to wait on tae
premier to present it." This was seconded, arid carried,
and the deputation appointed.

SATVIIDAT EVENING.
There has been a greater disposition to buy,. and con-
sequently a less inclination to sell (except at increased
pnces), in mining shares this week than for some
time past. In dividend shares, paying from 13 to 20 per
cent. per annum, such as West Providence, Alfred
Console, Devon Great Consols, Tremayne, &c., large
purchases have been made for private investment,
and the demand still continues. In smaller shares a
good business is doing, and a rise has taken place in
St. Aubyn and Grylls, East Duller, Trelawney, Gus-
tavus, and Tincroft. Amongst purely speculative
shares the desire of selling appears predominant; but
this is only usual, parties who have gone largely into
these undertakings at their starting, and who are
desirous of unlocking their funds, being constantly
on the watch for opportunities of realisation. This,
as has before been observed by us, they frequently
do on terms most advantageous to the purchaser, who
obtains shares at a low price, has his money lying
idle fur a short time only, and then reaps the entire I
advantage.
There has also been rather more disposition to
operate in the Californian gold mining shares, partly
owing to the appearance of some of these shares on
the official list of the Stock Exchange. There is,
however, no particular activity in this department, or
at least none by any means c.anparable to that with
which these adventures were at first received on the
Stock Exchange. Prices h eve been fairly supported
during the week at about to-day's range which is as
follows: Aqua Fria,' to prem.; Nouveau Monde,
5-16 to 7-16 prem.; Anglo-Californian, Ito prem.;
Ave Maria, toe dis.; West Mariposa, 3-16 to 1-16
