MANCHESTER.

Sept. 26.—Two more fatal cases were reported here
this morning, but our information warrants us in be-
lieving that they are of doubtful character. One, in-
deed, has since been declared as a case of delirium
tremens, and will be registered as such ; the other is a
fatal case of the English complaint, and not Asiatic.
In both cases there was everything favourable to the
approach of the epidemic ; and one of the deceased had
been drinking hard for three days, and lay out of doors
for two nights. The atmosphere at the present time is
remarkably clear and pure, having been completely
changed within twenty-four hours by the action of a
heavy gale of wind, which has extended from here far
into Yorkshire.

ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.—On Friday, at Coventry, the district coroner
held an inquest on the body of a youth named Ross, son
of a highly respectable tradesman of that city, who lost
his life upon the London and North-Western Railway
by being cut down by the evening express train to Lon-
don on Thursday. It appears that a Mrs. Berrick, of
Coleshill heath Farm, had contracted for the hay cut on
the embankment of the railway, and her nephew (the
deceased) had undertaken to see it properly removed
away. He had occasion to cross the permanent way,
and was standing between the metals of the up-line,
watching the progress of a down luggage train, when
the express for town came up at its usual speed of 35 or
40 miles an hour, and caught the unhappy lad. In an
instant almost the whole of the carriages had passed over
him, when his body was found to be most shockingly
mutilated. His head, neck, arms, legs, and other por-
tions of his remains, were smashed and almost cut to
pieces. It being shown that the catastrophe was not
the result of any neglect on the part of any of the com-
pany's servants, a verdict of accidental death was re-
turned,

THE COMBINED FLEETS OF ENGLAND

AND FRANCE.

Intelligence from Besika Bay -to the 26th of June,
states that the two fleets remained at that anchorage,
exchanging visits, salutes, dinners, and toasts. The
utmost cordiality prevailed, from the highest grade to
the lowest. No less than six admirals' flags were flying
at one and the same time. To reinforce the first French
squadron under Vice-Admiral Baron de la Susse, and the
second under Rear-Admiral Jacquinot, the Gomer, bear-
ing the flag of Rear-Admiral Remain Desfoss4s, arrived
from Smyrna on the 18th of June, with the Chaptal, Heron,
and Narval steamers, by which arrivals the French force is
raised considerably beyond that of Great Britain, not
only in number, but likewise in armament ; and the un-
civilised Turk, who looks more to quantity than qua-
lity, is already drawing, to the prejudice of England,
unfavourable inferences as to the comparative resources
of these two great Powers, in which, for many conside-
rations, the Government would do well to set him right
by ordering a few more ships to the East, so as to make
the British force, if not superior, at least equal in vessels
and guns to that of France, which country has certainly
sent for this service her finest ships and most distin-
guished officers.
On the 20th of June, in honour of the Queen of
England's accession to the throne, Admiral Dundas en-
tertained at dinner the three French admirals, with their
respective staffs, and the whole of the captains, as well
of the French as of the British fleet. Of course the
healths of Queen Victoria and of Napoleon 111, were
drunk with three times three and one cheer more, under
royal salutes from the Albion and Rodney, the report of
whose guns boomed over the now quiet plains of Troy.
Admiral de la Susse, in acknowledging the compliment
paid to the Emperor, expressed his gratification in
witnessing the prevailing cordiality, in a very neat
speech, which he wound up by proposing the health
of Admiral Dundas and the officers of the British
squadron. This was responded to by the British ad-
miral's drinking the health of Admiral de la Susse and
the officers of the French fleet, declaring that incalcul-
able good could not but result to the entire world from
the union of two Powers whose combined forces he
might, without risk of being accused of vanity or boast-
ing, pronounce irresistible, let whatever Power, or even
all the other Powers together, attempt to battle with
them. This speech was received with deafening shouts
of approbation, and indeed the noise made almost
equalled that of the salutes previously fired. Many
other toasts were drunk, and the party did not break up
until nearly ten o'clock. The French admiral subse-
quently entertained Admiral. Dundas and most of the
captains of the English squadron at dinner, when the
like toasts were exchanged.

SHREWSBURY AND BIRMINGHAM.

A meeting of shareholders in this line, convened by
circular, was held at the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham,
on Saturday, to take into consideration most " impor-
tant business." Mr. Robert Scott, of Stourbridge, oc-
cupied the chair, and there was rather a numerous
attendance of Birmingham shareholders.
The CHAIRMAN (by
whom the shareholders had been
called together) addressed the meeting at considerable
length. From his statement it appeared that into the
act of Parliament obtained by the directors in 1852 two
most objectionable clauses had been introduced, or
rather, as he believed, smuggled. Formerly, it was re-
quired that advertisements calling meetings of the share-
holders should be advertised in newspapers published in
the counties of Salop and Stafford 14 days before the
meeting was held ; by a clause in the late act to which
he referred they were only compelled to advertise in one
paper of the county in which their chief office was situ-
ated, and that might be the most obscure paper pub-
lished in Staffordshire. Again, when new directors
were elected, it was formerly competent for any gentle.
man duly qualified to be nominated on the day of meet-
ing, but by the recent act it was required that the
names of any gentlemen whom it was intended to nomi-
nate as directors at the half-yearly meetings held in
February and August should be transmitted to the
secretary 14 days before such meetings were held. Thus,
shareholders must nominate directors the very day on
which the advertisement calling the meeting might be
issued, the probability being that not one in 100 would
ever catch a sight of the newspaper in which the adver-
tisement appeared. The shareholders were called upon
to be active and vigilant ; and the chairman expressed
a hope that, as the goods traffic of the Shrewsbury and
Birmingham and Shrewsbury and Chester Companies
was now under the management of a competent person,
a satisfactory arrangement might be effected with the
London and North-Western.

A discussion ensued, which terminated in the unan:
mous adoption of the following resolution :

"That the election of directors is the peculiar privilege
of the shareholders and their only means of controlling the
management of their property, and the interference, in any
way or degree, by the directors or other officers of the
company in such an election, is highly improper; that a
clause requiring 14 days' notice of the nomination of
directors having been procured by the board to be inserted
in a late act of Parliament without the knowledge or
sanction of the shareholders, it becomes imperative upon
the shareholders to secure the nomination of proper persons
to supply the vacancies to be filled up at the ensuing half-
yearly meeting ; and that Messrs. Robertson, Robert
Scott, Joseph King, W. Chance, J. Webster, W. Tarratt,
Henry Penches, and Captain Probyn be directed to give
notice of their intention to become candidates for the office
of director."
The meeting then separated.

to be offered to public sal' on the 21st inst., and when
it is considered they contain the finest coal of the Forest,
much competition amongst capitalists may be expected.

STEALING A BOTTLE OF WINE.

George Fright, a wine merchant's porter, was brought
before Mr. Long, charged with having stolen a bottle of
wine, the property of his employer, Mr. Alfred R.
Belam, wine merchant, New Bond-street.
The prosecutor stated that on Saturday night, just as
he was leaving home, he heard a great noise in his cellar,
and on going down to see what was the cause of that
noise, he saw the defendant, who was lying at the bottom
on the straw close by a cask, which he apparently had
fallen over, and seemed to be hurt. Witness at once
told him to go up stairs and wash himself, and then go
home. While defendant was away, prosecutor went
round his cellar, and up one corner he observed the de-
fendant's coat hanging, and the neck of a wine bottle
projecting from the pocket thereof. He took it out,
and smelt it, and found it to be a bottle of one of his
wines. He questioned the prisoner as to where
he got it from, when he replied, that he had
found it, and being "a dry," had drank it, and
that he (the prisoner) had found another under the
stairs. Witness then sent for a constable and gave
him in charge. Prosecutor added that prisoner's
tale might be true, and that some of his former servants
had put it there. The prisoner's friends were highly
respectable people in the country, and he had received
an excellent character with him. He therefore did not
wish to press the charge any further, believing it to be
his first offence.

Mr. Long said he trusted this would be a warning
to him for the future, and at once discharged him.
