Yesterday,. about half-past twelve o'clock, as three

were being driven from Smithfield to be slaue,htered in

which place, fortunately, at
the above hour, was not so crowded as usual. Here it
made several attempts to toss the persons it came near,
but not succeeding, vented its fury on every article ex-
hibited for sale in the streets. II then proceeded lei-
surely into Clement's Inn•passage, where in the first
instance it seriously gored two children named Atkinson,
residing at 46, Clement'Aane, one of whom was only
aged seven years, the other, its brother, five months; it
then passed on, and in the same passage attacked a girl
named Phillips, aged nine years, whose nose it broke,
and inflicted other serious injuries on different parts of
her body. From this point it proceeded dowdy, spreading
great terror, until it reached the northern entrance to
Clement's-inn, which is protected by two upright bars to
prevent the ingress of loads, Bec.; having inserted its head
between the bars it forced its body through, completely
bending ono of the bars, and passed through the first and
second squares of the inn without meeting any obstruc-
tion. In the third square, or the first from the principal
entrance, it encountered an aged laundress, named
Smith, whom it run at and tossed. On being lifted up the
unfortunate woman was found to have some dreadful in-
juries on the forehead, and she was at once rumoved to
litng's College Hospital. From Clement's-inn the infu-
riated beast proceeded into the Strand, through Temple-
bar, Fleet-street, and Ludgate-hill, with a very quiet de-
meanour. In St. Paul's Churchyard it overturned an
empty truck, and made several attempts on those pass-
ing. Turning into Aldersgate-street an attempt was
made to stop its progress by some Irish paviours re-
pairing the street in that locality, but it put on a bold
front and with great coolness advanced to the charge,
making its valiant opponents seek refuge behind the
piles of stones at which they were labouring. Having
tossed a lad a little further on without seriously injuring
him, the enraged animal was eventually Secured in
Charter-house-square, and having been placed in a
beast-cart was conveyed to Bear-yard, where it was at
once killed. On inquiry at King's College Hospital, it
was ascertained that the two youngest children were but
slightly injured, but that the injuries on the face and
head of the girl Phillips were of so very serious a de-
scription as to warrant her being kept in the institution.
The wound on the head of the old woman was of a

EXTENSION OF THE METItOFOLIS TO THE NORTU.
wEsT.—The metropolis is rapidly increasing in extent in a
north-west direction. Primrose-hill is nearly encircled by
houses, and St. John's•wood appears as if it would soon be
joined to the West-end, and we may safely .anticipate that
in a few years the village of Willesden will be included
within the limits of the metropolis. The low fares by the
omnibuses which run from the City, by Holborn and Ox-
ford-street, to Kilburn, and the establishment of a station on
the London and North-Western Railway at this village,
with the facilities now afforded of reaching it by railway
from the City, has caused a great demand for a superior class
of re,idences, to meet which. the freeholders of the Kilburn.•
park estate have devoted fifty acres of land for building
purposes, and will immediately commence making the ne.
cessary roads and sewers.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN.
A meeting of a few of the most influential of the
shareholders in this company was held at Glasgow
on Tuesday, Mr. Andrew Orr in the chair:-
The CHAIRM ati said, the directors had thought it
proper, in the present position of the affairs of the
company, to ask a few of the most influential of the
shareholders to meet th?in for the purpose of consider-
ing certain matters which peculiarly a ffsct, their in-
terest. The present direction came into office when
their line was incomplete, and it was the wish of she
shareholders that exertions should be made for the
purpose of continuing the formation of their line on-
ward to the south. This effected, it became neces-
sary to make further arrangements for the securing of
the southern trait s. First, they had to deal with the
Caledonian Company, with the view of obtaining the
use of nine miles of their line between Gretna and
Carlisle. This was accomplished with considerable
difficulty, because immediately upon effecting a Pas-
sage along this portion of their way, they became a
rival line to the Caledonian Company. After many
negotiations, however, they succeeded in overcoming
the most determined hostility of that
company.
After this they had to apply to the Lancaster and
Carlisle Company for admission to their station, where
it was necessary to have accommodation for the goods
and engines, and the other machinery of the com-
pany. Tne other company with which they had to
deal was the London and North-Western, and by
that company, as well as the Lancaster and Carlisle,
they were spoken to civilly ; this applies particularly
to the London and North-Western Company. The
arrangements have now been of two years' standing,
and notwithstanding the larr quantity of goods
sending which they had beennding orward to the English
lines, the fact of the matter was they had been get-
ting nothing down from them in return. When or-
ders have been sent specially
asking goods to come by
the line, undoubtedly they have not come by any
other, but beyond this all the fair promises which
they received have resulted in empty words. All
those companies were connected with each other to a
certain extent, and it is only fair that this company
should seek to exercise what power it might possess
to get away from a connexion in which it has hitherto
received anything but fair play. The first matter
which presents itself is the Caledonian, and the Edin-
burgh and Glasgow Company going to Parliament
for the purpose of effecting an amalgamation. Now,
this accomplished, the Caledonian Company, strong
at present, will have become greatly more so, and it is
the opinion of the directors that they should
oppose the amalgamation of those companies till the
Caledonian Company concede to them something like
fair play over the nine miles to which he had re-
ferred. Last year they were approached by an Eng-
lish company, who asked them to join them in a
scheme to connect themselves with the Great Northern
system, which comes down as far as Ripon, and to
join them in the formation of a line thence to Gretna,
by the way of Corby. By this route they would
have afforded, by means of the projected line, to be
called the Great Northern and Scottish Irish Union,
and their own, direct communication from London to
Glasgow. The directors are unanimous in the opi-
nion that it would be wrong any longer to lie under
those difficulties. The directors had made up their
minds to give every encouragement to the promoters
of the proposed line. It was estimated that the ex-
pense for thus effecting a direct communication be-
tween Glasgow and London would amount to
1,500,000/., and they propose that this company
should take stock to the amount of 200,0001. Some
were of opinion that it would be better for the com-
pany to make the line from Gretna to Corby, by
which means they would not only have a direct com-
munication, but the control of that portion of the way
the same as the Caledonian have of that part of the
line from Gretna to Carlisle.
A SHAREHOLDER—How many miles of railway
require to be formed between Corby and Gretna?
The CHAIRMAN—About twelve miles.
Mr. WEBB said that at present there was only one
main line of railway between London and Glasgow,
and the effect of which was that the line in Scotland
with which the London and Northern was in alli-
ance, takes, in truth, the great mass of the Glasgow
traffic to the prejudice of the Glasgow and South-
Western Company. Taking a straight line from
Leeds to Lancaster, they had three direct lines—the
London and North-Western. the Great Northern, and
the Midland to Leeds. Now, if Yorkshire was
entitled to three distinct lines, surely the important
city of Glasgow was entitled to more than one.
When the Great Northern was proposed there was
also another line before Parliament—the Northern
Counties Union; for it was not intended that the
Great Northern should be merely a line from London
to York, but an independent line in connexion with
the Northern Counties from London to Glat'g°w• Far-
lian3ent looked upon the Northern Counties scheme as
one for connecting through Yorkshire the other lines to
Carlisle, and with that line they would have had a
complete and independent communication,be-
sides that of the London and North-Western,
between Glasgow and London. Great alliances have
been frequently found powerful for the advancement
of the interests of a company, but they have been also
brought into play for the purpose of damaging such
interests, and this was the case with the Northern
Counties. That scheme was beset by friends, and,
with the view of befriending it, the London and
North-Western Company took 3,000 shares, but, by
their interference in a committee in the House
Commons, however well intended, a clausewas
in-
troduced which in effect swamped the Bill altogether,

Counties does not represent a small number of
share-

Glasgow, and from the knowledge he had of thetisfied
