RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
OPENING OF THE BIRMINGHAM WOLVER-
,

HAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY.

This most desirable event, so long delayed by the
dissensions ti hich for many months past have existed
between the London and North-Western and the Shrews-
bury and Birmingham Companies, took place yesterday.
It was not celebrated by any of those formalities and
festivities which usually give éclat to proceedings of this
description; the line being simply opened for passenger
traffic, by the running of trains in the ordinary way on
lines orrailway. The first train, which (owing to pre-
vious disappointment) left Birmingham for Wolverhamp-
ton at eight o'clock, was but indifferently tenanted; but
in it were Mr. Baker, Mr. Norris, Mr. Brucyers, Mr.
Morgan, and other gentlemen connected with the Lon-
don and North-Western and Birmingham and Stour
Valley Companies. Captain Fluish had proceeded by
an earlier train.

An amusing incident occurred during one of the re-
turn journeys from Wolverhampton. For several years
one of the chief modes of conveyance from the mineral
district to the Midland metropolis has been a line of
eanalmpiadcsktetthse,
rndrairwthnob:.' horses. In the neighbourhood
of Dudley Port, the usual Water conveyance, by assist-
ance of whiand spur, were. seen to struggle up the
canal when railway train, much to the amusement
and a
rate of twenty miles an flits passengers,2 sprang by at the
Biurtur.inThe scene was ludicrous.

Daring the day, not fewer than from 2,000 t0p3,000
must have arrived iu Birmingham by the Stour Valley
Railway. Nor can it be wondered at, considering the
immense population of (he district, and that a person by
this route can travel from Birmingham to Wolverhamp-
ton, a distance cf thirteen miles, for ninepence, in forty
minutes.

TaE ELECTIONS.
TEE CITY ELECTION.—The writ for the election of
four members for the City of London was received by
the sheriffs at a late hour last evening. The nomination
has been fixed to take place on Tuesday next, and pro-
clamation to that effect was made this morning in the
Guildhall. The elecion for the county of Middlesex
will not take place before the 16th or 17th instant.
LAMBETH.—RETIREMENT OF MR. HARVEY. -- Mr.
Harvey, " the resident candidate," has, to the great dis-
appointment of his friends, suddenly withdrawn his
pretensions to represent the borough. 111-health is
stated to be the cause.
CITY Or WESTMINSTER,—Last night a numerous
and influential meeting of the electors of St. Clement
Danes, St. Mary-le-Strand, end the district of the Savoy
was held at the Wheatsheaf; Vere•street, Clare-market,
for the purpose of meeting Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir
John Shelley, the candidates forthe city of Westminster,
and hearing from those gentlemen an exposition of their
political views and intentions. Mr. Prout presided. Sir
De Lacy Evans presented himself, and was received with
loud and repeated cheering. The gallant gentleman
entered into a review of public affairs since he had been
in Parliament, end pointed to taxes repealed, to restric-
tions removed, and franchises given by the party with
which ho had always acted. The Hon. Candidate was
greeted at the conclusion of his speech with renewed
applause. Sir John Shelley next presented himself and
was loudlyEcheered. He repeated the sentiments which
we have before repeated, which received the approba-
tion of the meeting. Mr. Cannon moved, and Mr.
Churchwarden Lane seconded, that having heard the
sentiments of Major-General Sirlle LacyeEsivoasnss,

The motion was carried amidst applause,
after which and a vote of thanks to the chairman, the
meeting broke up.
MACCLESFIELD.—The friends of Mr. John Williams
are all "up and doing" to secure his return for this
borough at the coming election. Mr. Williams com-
menced his canvass on Tuesday last, and the success he
has met with far exceeded his most sanguine expecta-
tions, and is such as places his return beyond all doubt.
A large meeting of non-electors was held on Wednesday
last, at which not less than 10,000 persons were present.
A resolution, moved by Mr. Samuel Bentott, and se-
conded by Mr. John West, was unanimously adopted,
pledging the non-electors to use all the means within
their power to secure his return.

FEMALE ORPHAN ASYLUM.—A quarterl y general
court of the governors and subscribers to this charity was
held yesterday in the board-room of the institution, West-
minster Bridge-road ; Mr. James Hunt in the chair. A re-
solution was carried, electing the Bishop of Salisbury hono-
rary guaidian of the charity, as an acknowledgment of the
services rendered by his Lordship in preaching the late anni-
versary sermon. The number of children now in the school
is 160. From a " general statement" appended to the re-
port, it appears that the number of childen admitted into
the institution since its commencement in 1758 to April 4,
1851, was 2,531—0 f whom had died in the house, 214 ;
placed or apprenticed out, 2,160; and employed in the house
3. The balance-sheet showed the total amount received
daring the past year (including a balance in hand of
7021. 4s. Bd.), to have been 7,2351.115. Bd. ; and
after all the
expenses had been defrayed, there was left in the hands of
the treasurer the sum of 1,0711.148. 2d.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACK vvALL.-011 Wednesday
evening a frightful accident took place on the premises of
Messrs, Mare and Co., of Blackwell, which resulted in the
loss of one life and fearful injury to twelve of the workmen
employed in the works of the firm. It appears that the men
engaged in the foundry were preparing an immense casting,
and the usual means were resorted to for melting the iron
into a liquid state. The necessary arrangements having
been completed by the moulders and labourers, about twelve
in every direc-
tion of red hot liquid was let out into a very large ladle,
which travels on wheels, and while a number of the work-
men were conveying the ponderous mass of metal to its in-
tended destination, one of the wheels suddenly broke, upset-
