CHENTI2 AND HOLTHEAD.—Yesterday, on the meeting
of the committee on this company's bill for aathoriaing a
lease of their undertaking to the London and North
Western, and to enable them to make working arrangements,
clauses were pr,,posed t t enable the Shrewsbury and Chester
Railway Company to run their carriages over the Chester
and Holyhead Railway at the usual rates and charges ;
whereupon the promoters of the bill requested time t, con-
cult the board of the London and North Western Railway
on the subject, and the committee consented to an adjourn-
ment until Tuesday.
LONDON AND BLACKWALL —The committee on this
company's bill for granting (sedates to run their carriages
and engines over certain portions of the Eastern Counties
Railway decided that the preamble of the bill was proved,
subject to the omission of the words •' teaks and •• (ear-
ram) ; the effect of which is to give the L•ndon and Black-
well the power of running their carriages, but not their en-
gines, over the Eastern Counties Railway.

MLNES.
(From the Mauna Journal.)
The mining share market has not been so brisk this wee k
as we have had it for tome time past, although several shares
in our leading mines have changed hands.
The advice, received from the great mining di•tricts of
Cornwall and Devon are generally of a gra,ifying character;
the mines, on the whole, looking remarkably well.
There are several new adventures, which have recently
been brought before the public, which appear to command
some attention from parties who have not before been much
engaged in mining matters ; and, from the highly-coloured
reports produced, we fear are apt to captivate the inexpe-
rienced. We would not venture an opinion on their assumed
merits, but recommend the public generally to be satisfied
of the correctness of the representations made, before they
become involved.

Mans in the following mines have changed hands during
the week :—Devon Great Consols, Ent Wheal Rose North
Pool, South Basset, South Francis, Stray. park, North Roo-
kear, Alfred Consols, Trelawny, Itches'' Mary Ann,
Wheal Trevino, Bedford United, East and South Tamar,
()rambler, Tavy Consols, West Tolgus, South Tolgas Lo-
lent, Treviakey, Tincroft, Wheal Langmoad, West Condon,
P Console, Wheal Trentavoe, Condurrow, East
Gunnis, Lake Junction, Ideignston Down Consols, Totowa',
East Buller, Cook's Kitchen, Runnaford Coombe, &c.
In foreign mines the shares chiefly dealt in have been St.
John del Rey, Imperial Brazilian, United Mexican, Co-
plop., LIMES, Barons Range, and National Brazilian.

HAY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

tions:—Prime Meadow, 664. to 724. ; inferior, 504. to 634.;
Clover, 60s. to 84.. ; Straw. 222 e. to 271.

HUNTING POACHERS.-At Bourn petty Mations on
Saturday last, an information for an assault was preferred
by Clement Corton, • watcher in the employ of Lord
Willoughby, against Mr. W. Collingwood, merchant of
Corby. Four poachers who were trespassing in pursuit of
game in Orimithorpe Park, were seen by two hedge cutters,
who went after them with their long knives, and • regular
chase ensued three of the men escaped, but the fourth was
hunted down at Corby, having been found concealed in
some straw in a hovel. The defendant was pealing at the
time, and finding the two 'archers with their knives jobbing
in the straw, and uttering very foul language sad threats,
went into the yard, where he observed Corton dragging •
man out of the straw, his face bleeding from a cut with •
knife; the man asked for fair play, and made some resist-
ance, but the other lumber (Henry Glen) approached in •
Mate of excitement, held his Mule over Corton, and swore
he would cut him down if be made farther resistance :
Corton at the time exclaimed to Glen, "D— him,
Ido not flinch him ; cut his arm df " and just as
Glen was aiming a blow at him, Mr. Collingwood inter-
fered, and kept off the blow, telling the men he would not
allow blood to be shed, and that if the other man bad com-
mitted any offence he should be properly taken into custody,
without the use of weapons of so dangerous a nature. Glen
immediately threatened Mr. Collingwood, and brandished
the knife over him ; oonsequently, finding his own life was
in danger, he left.—Corton afterwards preferred en informa-
tion against Mr. Colliogwood for an assault, and now en-
deavoured to support it by the testimony of himself and two
companions they swore that defendant took up the knife
and threatened to strike Corton. This was denied by Mr.
Collingwood. He was confirmed by the evidence of four
respectable witnesses, who were present and saw the whole
trammtion, and proved the facts as above stated. Mr. Atter
having addressed the magistrates on behalf of the defendant,
General Johnson (chairman) said, tt There is not the
slightest ground for the charge against Mr. Collingwood,
and we dismiss the case at once."—Mr. Atter applied for the
costs incurred by the defendant, which wen imfordi.l7
allowed.—Gen. Johnson then severely reprimanded the men
for carrying Sedge knives in hunting men, and pointed out
the duty of keepers and others employed to protect game.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOODMEAD TUNNIRL.-ON
Wednesday, at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, an inquest
was held by Mr. Merford, on the body of • man named
James Williams, alia.s Ford, of Windletoo, Yorkshire.
Prom the evidence it seems that deceased died from injuries
received accidentally whilst employed, with some othe men,
in blasting a portion of the rock at Dunford bridge. The
men were engaged at work at the parallel tunnel at Wood-
head, now constructing by the Manchester, Sheffield, and
r Liocolushire Railway Company. Deceased had put • fusee
into seine powder laid for the purpose of blasting the rock,
when a blow accidentally given upon a bar of iron, by one
of his companions, caused the powder to explode before it
was intended, and without allowing them time to get out
of the way. Portions of the rock was dislodged and scattered
la all directions. Deceased eitetained a fracture of the right
arm and other injuries, wbkh resulted in death. Verdict—
Accidental death."
