SECRETARY.
George Lockyer Parrott, Esq.
In August, 1851, the promoters of the Submarine Telegraph
formed themselves into a French Company (Societe en Comman-
dite), and, at their own risk, and with their own funds, established
the Telegraphic Communication between Dover and Calais.
The cable was laid down on the 25th of September, 1851, and on
the 13th November following the telegraph was opened to the
Oleic for transmission of messages, and has since that time been
worked without the slightest irregularity or interruption.
The feaSibility of a submarine telegraphic communication having
thus .ben sueeessf , the •promoters considee that the time
has arrived f , :"'fittikkltelif-operate with them in
developing the resource nn extencling'tere advantages of this im-
portant undertaking.
With this view they have obtained a Royal Charter of Incorpora-
tion, under which they will be enabled to work the existing French
line, and to lay down and work a submarine line of telegraph to g
Belgium ; and this Company has concluded the necessary
arrane-
ments for affording to the public the transmission and delivery of
dispatches to and from Great Britain and all the telegraph stations
in Europe (at present exceeding 200 in number), by a single payment
for the whole distance.
Contracts for the Belgian rope have been entered into with the
Gotta Percha Company and Messrs. Newell and Co., of Gateshead,
who have engaged to complete the same by the 11th of September
ext, when it will be forthwith laid down from Dover to Middlekirk,
near t o Ostend, from which point the submarine wires will be placed
in communication with the general system of the continental
telegraph.
The concessions from the French and Belgian Governments secure
to this Company the exclusive right of submarine communication.
During the short time which has elapsed since the opening of the
submarine telegraph between Dover and Calais, the development of
this mode of communication has been retarded by the great delay
and expense incidental to the transmission of messages at each end
over the wires of other companies, and from this cause the public
have enjoyed but a small portion of the advantages which this won-
derful invention of modern science is calculated to afford.
The Directors of the Royal Chartered Company have at length
succeeded in makieg arrangements whereby these impediments will
be removed, and messages from London to Paris and Brussels, and
vice versa, instead of requiring two or three hours for their trans-
mission, will be instantaneously conveyed.
A company, acting under the powers of an Act of Parliament, are
laying down a subterranean line of telegraph from the offices of the
Submarine Company, Cornhill, to Dover, and have engaged to con-
vey the messages of the Submarine Company for one-half the
amount now charged by the South-Eastern Company ; and thus,
whilst the whole machinery will be concentrated in one place, and
instantaneous communication secured, the Submarine Company will
be enabled to make a great reduction hi the scale of charges to the
public.
As respects the commercial results of the enterprise, it may be suf-
ficient to remark, that in the face of all the disadvantages necessarily
attendant upon its introduction, the first six months' working of
the Dove' and Calais line has yielded a clear profit at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum upon the capital; and the saving which will be
effected by the arrangement with the New Land Line will secure an
additional profit of 3 per cent. upon the Stock of the Submarine
Company. When the marvellous results which attended the intro-
duction of the penny postage are considered, it is difficult to form an
estimate of the vast extension of business which must follow the
development of telegraphic communication with the continent, under
a system cf moderate charges and electric speed—more especially as
the cost does not increase in proportion to the business done, and as
the network of telegraphic wires is gradually spreading over the
whole of Europe.
Out of the capital of 150,0001. now to be raised, 75,0001. will be
set apart for the redemption of the 75,000 shares forming the capi-
tal of the French Company. The remaining half has been
propriated in carrying out the contracts already made for the Bel-
gian cable, the purchase of the patent rights, the Belgian con-
cession, and all incidental expenses attendant upon the estab-
lishment of the Company and the settlement of the Royal Charter.
No further addition will be made to the Chartered Stock, without
the express sanction of the proprietors.
The allotment of shares, which was delayed until the Charter had
received the Royal assent, will now be proceeded with, and
any further applications must be addressed, on or before the 31st
August instant, to Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, 68, Old Broad-
street.
Dated 24th August, 1852.

DOCKER'S•LANE, WEDNESDAY.—The inquiry into the
circumstances attending the death of Mr. John Thomas
Boddington, commenced on the 3d inst., and carried on
by adjournment on the 11th and 17th inst., was resumed
and concluded to-day before Mr. W. Savage Poole and
the jury previously assembled at the Railway Inn, ad-
joining this station.
John Stephenson, a smith in the employ of the com-
pany at Rugby, was the first witness called. Ho re-
membered having repaired one of the stays of the ashpan
belonging to the engine No. 153. It was not now broken
in the same place. He admitted it might have been
better to make a new stay than to have mended the old
one; but his orders were to mend the old one. Witness
had no power to make a new stay, whatever he thought,
unless he was told to do so.
CORONER—Suppose the iron of the stay was so weak
that you could not weld it, what would you do then?
Witness—l should wait to see Mr. Crawford, the loco-
motive foreman.
CORONER—You say that, in your opinion, a new stay
would have been better than to have mended the old one?
Witness—Yes; of course it would.
CORONER—hy did you not say so at the time? Wit-
ness—l did. I objected to mend the stay when it was
brought to me by Ellison, but I was told it must be
mended, as the engine was wanted to go out.
CORONER —When you are in any doubt or trouble as
to your work, to whom is it your duty to apply? Wit•
ness—To Mr. Crawford, the locomotive superintendent.
CORONER—Did you apply to him about this stay?
Witness—No, I did not. I have scores of jobs brought
to me by the fitters in the course of the day, and it would
be impossible for me to apply to Mr. Crawford, except in
cases of importance.
Cowmen—The jury and myself entertain a strong
opinion that you ought to hare referred this matter to
Mr. Crawford.
By Mr. Cleather—The welded stay was as good a job
as I could make of it, and I had not the smallest doubt
that it was perfectly sound. A now stay might have been
better. ,
Some further evidence having been gone into,
The CORONER proceeded to charge the jury with groat
minuteness on the circumstances of the accident, and
pointing out those portions of the evidence deposed to by
tee various witnesses, as they bore more especially on
the falling of the ashpan, which he thought must be
considered the primary cause of the catastrophe. On
passengers by railway are placed in a
the general bearing of the case the Coroner said—You
know, gentlemen,
extraordinary situation—they put themselves en-
very
tirely under the control of the company—they can't stir
hand or foot—they can't give any signal to the engine-
driver or guard, but they place the most perfect confidence
Now, it seems to me only reasonable
in the coinpanY•
and fair in return for a confidence of this sort, that the
company should do all they can, quite regardless of ex-
pense, to carry their passengers as safely as possible;
and I for one, can admit of no distinction on this head
between first, second, or third-class passengers. I
think there mg be a distinction is the amount
of comfort afforded them, but on the point of
safety there should be none. I am led the
more particularly to snake this

some very extraordinary remin been recently
i
made by the chairman of a veryimportant com-
pany, that passengers and bales of goods come to the
same thing, and that inasmuch as if you wish to insure
the safety of a valuable bale of goods you are bound to
insure it, so also you must insure the safety of a pas-
senger. I don't mean to say that the directors of
this the
London and North-Western Company are op
extraordinary charge, but I refer generally to this
matter to show you with how much jealousy accidents
on railways should at all times be watched. I think it
is to be regretted, for instance, that these inquiries
should not take place unless the occurrences are attended
with fatal consequences, for it is perfectly clear that, if
blame attaches to any party, it would be most desirable
both for the company and the public that it should be

circumstances
Coroner said—The first question will be for you to decide
whether you are satisfied from the evidence that the
ashpan became detached in consequence of any defects
which existed at the time of starting. If yon think so,
then you will have to say whether those defects might
have been removed by the exercise of due care on the
part of the servants of the company; and if you think
they might have been removed, and were not, then you
will say who is the person or persons to whom this por-
tion of your verdict will apply.
The jury then retired, and remained in deliberation
about an hour. On their return into court the foreman
handed in the following written verdict:—" We are
unanimously of opinion that the death of John Thomas
13eddington was caused in consequence of the ashpan
having been severed from the engine, but the cause of
such severance is not in evidence before the jury."

_appeal
powerfully to the imagination, from the crowd of ro-
manticassociations and picturesque
images clustering
round them, first embalmed in song and ballad by
border minstrels, and since enshrined in deathless
poesy by the muses of Scott and Wordsworth. Aln-
wick, Warkworth, and Bamborough present, in the
vastness of their dimensions and the grandeur of their I
construction, evidences of feudal power and pomp,
such as can hardlybe paralleled elsewhere in England.
Elexlaam is remarkable as the seat of one of our most
ancient bi,,hoprics, of which a splendid monument
survives in the muster. Durham, as an epiconal
principality, is proud of its noble cathedral, of its
famous monastic remains of Jarrow (the residence
of Venerable Bede and the Nene of his la.
sours) and Tynemouth—as wrall as 'of several-
fine churches of the second order, and especially,
:hose of Houghton-le-Spring and Chester-le-
Street. Nor are any counties more conspi-
3uous for the extent and abundance of their Roman
remains, the wall of Hadrian offering a series of well-
3efined stations, which have always well rewarded the
labour of excavation, and from which further dis-
coveries of interest may be expected. Newcastle
itself is particularly well adapted for the meeting of
,uch a congress as has now assembled within it, and
though little but its name of Pons Nelii remains to
connect it with the age of Romau domination in
Britain, the keep and other vestiges of its castle, as
well as its fine churches, assert its claims to mediaeval
listinetioo. Some notion of the number of places of
historical interest in the two counties, which are to
form the subjects of exploration on the present occa-
sion, may be gathered from the following list, pub-
lished by the association for the guidance of members
and visitors :

" Occupied, as we are, in the pursuits of commerce, we
are at the same time sensible of the value of literature
and science, in which men of all parties and of all opini-
ons can unite with one common object to civilize and in-
struct mankind; ani we can appreciate the labours of
your learned body in the illustration of the history of the
past, and in the application of the lessons it affords.
" The position of this town on the frontiers of the
kingdom has exposed it in times past to the ravages of
border warfare, and has tended to limit the objects of
interest which antiquaries might reasonably expect to
find in the archives of the town, dating its existence
from an early period of the Roman rule in Britain. But,
however limited may be the number of presentable ob-
jects worthy of your attention, we offer you at leak a
cordial welcome.
" JAMES HODGSON, Mayor:'
Lord TALBOT DE MALAntuu said he felt most obliged
1 to the mayor, aldermen, and councillors of Newcaatle-
upon-Tyne for the kind manner in which, on thisoOteae-
sion, they had expressed themselves with regard to h.
institution of which he had the honour Pursuitsg
_presi-
dent As they truly observed, the ofe9mel--
merce, so far from precluding their votariesfrome fe
ing an interest in are eology, literature, and science,
ought to invest each studies with a still greaterattrac-
tion, since they knew that in former. times—and__
_there
was no reason why the present should differ from
former times in that respect—there were no more libe-
ral or enlightened patrons of the fines arts than Abe
po.—(Crs.) They ell
municipal institutions of Euro
knew the liberal and enligbteeel manner in which in
ancient times the small communities of Greece, which
might not inaptly be styled corporatione, patronized the
arts; and they knew in the middle ages also that the
small communities of Italy—those of Venice, Floreace,
Genoa, and many others—were liberal in their patronage
of art to a degree that alight make any Government of
the present day blush.—(Cheers.) There was no rea-
son, therefore, why the municipal corporations of the
present day should not follow the example set to them by
past ages; and if they did not hold out their hand to
welcome the arts, and to encourage the production of
modern artists, at least let them preserve those remnants
of the arts of past times which they were privileged
to possess, and of which their worthy body had shown su
good an example.--(Cheers.)

Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE again rose, and said he
felt that after the excellent and able man who had pre-
ceded him, it was almost presumption in him to accept
the office of president. Many of them were well ac-
quainted with the Noble Marquis, who was so great an
accession to and fosterer of this society, who contributed
in so many respects to the interest of their meetings ;
and all must regret the great lose whicht the society had
