SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY.
BIRIIINGIIAM' MONDAY EVENING.-This morning:
the opening of the above line from this town to
Burton-upon-Trent took place in the presence of a
considerable number of persons. At eleven o'clock
the directors held a board meeting at the Quee'n's
Hotel for the transaction of ordinary business, after
which they were joined by a number of friends and
gentlemen interested in the undertaking, and at
twelve o'clock they left the station of the London and
North-Western Railway and proceeded at a steady
pace to Walsall. Amongst those in the first car-
riages of the train were C. Foster, Esq., chairman of
the company ; Mr. Chawner, deputy-chairman ; Mr.
Smith, agent of Lord Ward; Mr. Potter, Mr. Charles
Geach, of the Midland Bank; Captain Dyott, R. C.
Green Esq., banker of Litchfield; Captain Majendy,
Mr. Robinson, of the London and North-Western
Railway ; Mr. James Wareing, Mr. Bacon. At
Walsall the party were joined by Philip Williams,
Esq., ironmaster, and many other gentlemen of the
neighbourhood, and, after a lapse of a few minutes,
the train again set out, and in a short time reached
the station at Litchfield. The day was unfortunately
very unpropitious, rain having fallen through-
out the whole morning. A short run of six
miles Ito Burton and back closed the opening trip,
which, notwithstanding the unpleasant state of the
weather, was witnessed along the line by, a great
number of persons. The country being principally
the seat of mining operations, is anything but in-
viting in appearance, but the works of the line appear
substantial and well executed. From Walsall to
Litchfield the line is nearly all on embankment, and,
considering the freshness of the work and the heavy
rain, there was very little oscillation in the carriages,
aed the trip was carried through in the most success-
ful manner, under the able superintendence of Mr. J.
D. Payne, the general manager of the line. The
line is 25 miles in length, from the Dudley terminus
to the junction with the Midland line at Alrewas.,
and runs through the following places :—From Bir-
mingham to Litchfield, Walsall, Alrewas, Burton-
upon-Trent, where it joins the Midland, Leicester
and S wannington, and North Staffordshire Railways.
This line, although comparatively short, affords very
great advantages, saving, as it does, a great distance
between East Worcestershire and South Staffordshire,
and the counties of Derby, Nottingham and Leicester.
The interesting event of the day was celebrated by
a dinner at the George Hotel, Litchfield, there being
present Mr. Dyott, mayor; Lord Talbot, Lord
Anson, Lord Lewisham, C. Forster, Esq., Philip
Williams, Esq., and about 150 gentlemen of the
• neighbourhood. The dinner was of the best descrip-
tion, and the entertainment passed off with the utmost
hilarity.

The Estates may be viewed ; and particulars with plans may be
had at the Auction Mart; of Mr. Simpson. solicitor, 45, Bedford-
row; and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, Water-
loo-place, Pall-mall; and of their agent at Windsor.

INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
wish to call the attention of the metropo.
titan public through your widely disseminated journal
to an important and interesting fact.
You have given a page of The Sun to a report of
a public meeting convened to expose the evils of in-
tramural interments. I regret that I was prevented
from attending that meeting. Had I been present,
though I could have added nothing to the masterly
reasonings of Lord Dudley Stuart and the intelligent
Members of the Lower House who were present, I
should have been glad of the opportunity of stating
that very recently one of the aldermen of this city was
interred within the walls of Christ Church, Ne wgate-
street, and that between the slab forming part of the
floor of the sacred edifice and the upper surface of the
coffin, not more than seven inches of soil intervene.
I have not seen the spot, but can rely upon my in-
formant.
In connexion with this fact, I wish to remind you
that a prescribed part of the daily service of the
Church is thus worded—" From plague, pestilence,
and famine, good Lord deliver us."
What, then, is the incongruous anomaly ? The
ministers of religion, the priesthood of our Establish-
ment, are directed to invite crowded assemblages to
meet for Divine worship over the reeking and steam-
ing masses of putrefying remains brought for inter-
ment, originally from motives of the weakest super-
stition, within consecrated walls, where it is presumed
the enemy of souls has been exorcised and dare not enter.
Immediately under the pavement lies, in this instance,
the rotting carcase of a City alderman, and over the
spot kneel the irrational survivors, who ask Almighty
God to suspend and alter in their favour the laws of
the material and physical universe. The slowly de-
composing mass of putridity is brought and depo-
sited at the very foot of the reading-desk, and with
an avaricious greed of burial fees, most insultingly to
the Supreme Intelligence over that spot, and while hun-
dreds are collected to inhale the raiasm, the officiating
priest is made to pray that the natural consequences
of so revolting an absurdity may be adverted. How
does infidelity blush for such appeals to the God of
truth and goodness, how contemptible is the perver-
sion of common sense and duty !
If considerations drawn from so profane a perver-
sion of the known laws which God has imposed upon
matter will not check either the monstrous evil, or at
least expunge that prayer from the service of the
Church, possibly there may be other motives which,
appealing to tenderer emotions of the human heart,
may ultimately abate the nuisance and consequent
injury to public health. Let an Englishmen fancy
the deceased and once fondly loved wife of his bosom
subjected to the poking of the iron borer:—" Within
14 or 16 feet of this grave," observes Mr. Walker,
" I counted 27 similar holes made through a mass of
human remains, the object being to dissipate the
effluvia." Benevolent aged ladies gather contribu-
tions for our hospitals, which mostly in later years
have been got up as stepping-stones to private prac-
tice in favour of individuals who charitably officiate
gratuitously, and clergymen write prefaces to the
annual reports ; meanwhile the " borer" disengages
the effluvia, clerical rapacity insults the unchanging
God with inconsistent petitions, we produce evil and
suffering, build fever hospitals for its alleviation ; and,
as though the Infinite One were " altogether such an
one as ourselves," we first impose upon our own
better knowledge, and next vainly and wickedly try
to impose upon Him.—l am, Sir, &c.

what in the form of a Dress•coat, that is to say, a Gentleman
can wear it in the evening without distinctly infringing the laws
of costume recognised in Society ; but as it is more especially in-
tended for morning wear, when Riding or Walking, it necessarily
avoids the stiff formality to De observed in the cut and form of_ the
Dress-coat. The price is

TT is impossible to detail in an ordinary Adver-
tisement the many advantages appertaining to the above gar-
ments. In the first place, Messrs. NICOLL purchase the wool
direct from the foreign grower, and it does not leave their possession
until it is produced in a complete form and ready for the inspection
of their Patrons. Messrs. NICOLL are honoured with the patronage
of their Royal Highnesses Prince Albert, Prince George of Cam-
bridge, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Grace the Duke •f Wel-
lington, and all others disthiguished in Rank and Fashion, the Court,
the Pulpit, and the Bar.

every characteristic of the Registered Paletot, it can, by simply
detaching all inner li ing, be conver ed from a warm to a light
0' ercoat, or vice versa, at th • pleasure of the wearer. This same
inner Ruing, o hen detached, of itself forms a most comfortable
reading or dressing jacket. There are many other advantages con-
ained in THE NICOLL, rendering it as a garment a most valuable
adjunct in a variable climate, also for travelling, &c., but it should
be seen and worn to be fairly appreciated, but it can be had in Lon-
don only at 114, 116, 120, REGENr-STREET, and 22, CORNIIILL,

A GHOST IN LOVE.—The Abeille Cauchoise tells
the following story:—" A few nights ago a worthy
farmer, living near Yvetot, who has lately become a
widower, was aroused at midnight by the loud barking
of his dog. On going to it the animal displayed extreme
terror, whereupon the farmer took his gun and pro-
ceeded to an inspection. All at once he saw a horrid
phantom clothed in a white sheet, rise behind the hedge.
The farmer turned deadly pale, and his limbs shook with
dismay. He however contrived to ejaculate, 'lf you
come from God, speak; if from the Devil, vanish !'
Wretch !' exclaimed the phantom, lam your deceased
wife, come from the grave to warn you not to marry
Marie A—, to whom you are making love. She is
unworthy to share my bed. The only woman to suc-
ceed me is Henriette B---. Marry her, or persecution
and eternal torment shall be your doom !' This strange
address from the goblin, instead of dismaying the farmer,
restored his courage. lie accordingly rushed on the
ghostly visitor, and stripping off its sheet, discovered the
fair Henrietta B— herself, looking excessively
.foolish.
It is said that the farmer, admiring the girl's trick, has
had the banns published for his marriage with her."

[PRICE SD.

for the honour you have done tin) Church through me,
its unworthy minister. I heartily wish the Church had
a worthier representative to return those thanks. Bat
the Church does not rest upon its representatives
or its advocates, but upon itself.—(A:oud cheers.) I
rejoice to see the Church honoured here, because L
believe in my conscience that it deserves that
honour, not for its establishments and endow-
ments, but for the service which it renders, to the -com-
munity at large—aye, even to those who, in the exercise
of their liberty of conscience, separate from its commu•
nion—even them also it serves.—(Hear, hear.) I re•
joice to see the Church honoured here, because I &in per•
suaded that the cordial co-operation of this great city;—
of those who administer the affairs of this great city—
with the ministers of the Church is one of the most im-
portant instruments for good which this country enjoys.
—(Cheers.) I thank you very much for the compliment
which you have paid to my poor efforts in support of
the cause of charity this morning. I had particular
pleasure in endeavouring to do so; and that not only
upon general grounds, but incense your charities are
extended, most of them, to persons of all creeds, and
therein show the large and liberal spirit of our Church.
—(Loud cheers.) And I do indeed think that a mi.-
nister of the Church can never be better employed than
when engaged in advocating the cause of a large, a li-
beral, and an enlightened charity.—(Renewed cheers.)
The next toasts were "Her Majesty's Judges," to
which Mr. Justice Erle replied, and " The Members of
the House of Commons," which was acknowledged by
Mr. Bernal.
The Loan MAYOR—I am honoured to-day with the
company of a Right Hon. Gentleman who has long en-
joyed the confidence of his Sovereign as her representa-
tive at a foreign Court. It is not necessary for me now
to advert to the circumstances under which he has re-
turned to this country; it is sufficient for me to say that
he comes here with his character unsullied, and that he
still enjoys the respect and esteem of this great com-
munity. He is again about to proceed upon an impor•
tent mission as the representative of her Majesty, and it
affords me much gratification to have this opportunity of
assuring him most cordially that he carries with him the
esteem, the confidence, and the good wishes of the people
of England. I have very great pleasure in proposing
to you the " Health of the Right Hon. Sir Henry Lytton
Bulwer."—(Cheers.)
Sir HENRY BULWER replied to the toast—My Lords,
ladies, and gentlemen, it is a well known maxim that the
best qualification for a diplomatist is silence, and in
rising at this late hour of the evening I shall exhibit
that qualification by returning my thanks in the briefest
possible manner, first to you, my Lord Mayor, for the
honour you have done me in proposing my health in
connexion with the profession to which I belong, and
next to you, ladies and gentlemen, for the cordial
way in which you have responded to that toast. The
best and only return I can make is to promise you that,
whatever may be the destination to which my Sovereign
may be graciously pleased to appoint me, I Asa hear
with me the desire and determination to maintain the na-
tional honour and promote the commercial prosperity of
our common country.—(Cheers.) If there be one other
return which I can make to you, and which I know will
also be acceptable, it is that of proposing to you as a
toast, the health of the lady who sits at the Lord Mayor's
side. I give you the " Lady Mayoress."
The toast was received with enthusiastic cheering;
and the Lord Mayor having.acknowledged it, the Lady
Mayoress and the other ladies ,present soon after rose
from the festive board, and retired.
The Lord Mayor then gave " Prosperity to the City
of London," and " The Health of Mr. Jones Lloyd."
Mr. J. LLOYD responded.
Several other toasts were subsequently proposed, and
the company did not separate until a late hour.
The entertainment was of the costly and superb cha-
racter for which Mansion-house dinners are so famous.
It was provided by Messrs. Ring and Brymer, of Corn-
hill. Mr. Harker performed the onerous and important
duties of toast-master in his usually efficient and judi-
cious style.

GRAND ENTERTAINMENT AT
THE MANSION-lIOUSE.
Yesterday the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress gave
a splendid entertainment in the Egyptian Hall, which
was fitted up for the occasion with great elegance. The

Middlesex, with their ladies ; the Chairman of the Cor-
poration Committees, &c. The visitors amounted to
upwards of 330 persons.
After dinner, " For these and all thy mercies, Lord,"
was sung in exquisite style by an efficient corps of
vocalists.
The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—My Lords,
ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the ancient festivals
of the chief magistrates 'of the city of London, and in
proposing to you the health of our Most Gracious Sove-
reign, the Queen, I am anxious, on the part of the citi-
zens of London, to express the great satisfaction that we
feel, that amidst the changes which have taken place in I
every country of Europe, except our own, we continue to
live under our ancient institutions with those sentiments
of attachment and loyalty to our gracious Sovereign
which she so well deserves.—(Cheers.) I am sure that
you will most cordially join with may in drinking "The
Health of our Gracious Sovereign Queen Victoria, and
may she long reign in the affections, the esteem, and the
love of a grateful, a united, a prosperous, and a happy
people."—(Loud cheers.)
The toast was drunk with three times three, and one
;peer more, and was followed by the National Anthem.
The LORD MAYOR again rose and proposed " The
Health of her Majesty the Queen Dowager."—(Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Health of Prince
Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the other branches
of the Royal Family," which was responded to with all
the honours.
The LORD MAYOR next gave " The Army and Navy "
(three times three).
General Sir WILLIAM BROTHERTON returned thanks
for the army, and
Admiral the Marquis of THOMOND for the navy.
The LORD MAYOR—It is one of the advantages of the
official position which I have the honour to hold, that it
enables me to have the gratification of seeing here many
eminent and distinguished men; and I know that the
citizens of London are never more pleased than when
their Mayor invites to his hospitable board the distin-
guished foreign Ministers who are resident in this
country. On the present occasion we have the honour
of seeing here his Excellency the Turkish Am-
bassador and the Danish Minister, but I regret
that, owing to sudden indisposition, we are deprived
of the company of his Excellency the French
Ambassador.—(Hear, hear.) lam sure the citizens of
London would have been happy to have had the honour
of assuring the French Ambassador how much they are
gratified by the kind feeling which has sprung up be-
tween the two nations, and that they hail the appoint-
ment of his Excellency, who is so well known to nter•
lain the most friendly disposition towards this country,
as proof of a desire on the part of the President ot the
French Republic to cultivate and maintain amicable re-
lations between the two countries.—(Cheers.) I can
assure the illustrious Minister (the Turkish Minister) on
my right hand, who is almost a stranger to this country,
that he comes here with a most cordial welcome—
(Cheers)—and we trust that he will find the citizens of
London and the people of England, whilst they are satis-
fied and happy under their own excellent institutions,
most desirous to show respect, courtesy, and esteem to
all the distinguished Ministers with whom they may
cone into communication.—(Cheers.) I have great
pleasure in proposing to you "The Health of his Excel-
lency the Turkish Ambassador, and the Danish Minister,
Count Reventlow."—(Three times three and one cheer
more.)
The Turkish Ambassador briefly returned thanks.
The LORD MAYOR—Though everything like political
feeling is carefully excluded from the convivialities of
this house, yet we are nevertheless most anxious at all
times to pay a mark of respect to her Majesty's Govern.
ment. Upon the present occasion I will venture to say
that the citizens of London ought more especially to be
gratified with an opportunity of drinking the health of
her Majesty's Ministers, because they enjoy the honour
of having the Prime Minister of the country as their
representative in Parliament.—(Cheers.) Without asking
you to adhere to the views or opinions of the Government,
I think it must be admitted, not only by the city of
London, but by the country at large, that there never was
a Government which took upon itself the administration
of public affairs in this country in times of more perilous
difficulty, or who has done more to preserve the honour
of the country abroad, and peace and tranquillity at
home.—(Cries of "Hear. hear.") We have not the
pleasure of seeing here to-day any of the Members of
the Cabinet; but when we consider the arduous duties
of their office and their laborious attendance in Par-
liament, I am sure we can make allowance for their
absence.—(Hear, hear). Still I have the honour of seeing
now present some gentlemen connected with her Maji s-
ty's Government; and I am especially pleased to have
this opportunity of showing a mark of respect to a gen-
tleman who has for some time ably filled a responsible
and difficult post, and who is about to take upon himself
a still higher office. Whether we regard that gentleman's
conduct as an eloquent and independent Member of Par-
liament, or look upon him as a useful, an indefatigable;
and an efficient secretary to one of the great departments
of the public service, I take upon myself to assert that no
one can leave this country and carry with him a greater
amount of respect and approbation for his past conduct
than will that Hon. Gentleman. his particularly gratifying
to me to have this opportunity of speaking ot Mr. Ward,
because we have seen him in very difficult positions with
reference to the city of
,London, and I am sure that h*
conduct has left upon our minds the most pleasing and
grateful impressions.—(Hear, hear.) I beg to give" The
Health of her Majesty's Ministers and Mr. Ward."
The toast was drunk with three times three.
Mr. WARD, M.P., in reply said—l thank you most
sincerely for the kindness which has dictated this toast;
but I beg you will excuse me if I say that I little ex-
pected, as a subordinate member of Lord John Russell's
Government, that I should have been called upon to ad-
dress you to-night at your hospitable board to return
thanks for her Majesty's Ministers. Still less did I con-
ceive that to my very humble services you, my Lord,
would have made such flattering allusions, or connected
with my name an appointment which, however prema-
turely it may have been circulated, has not yet received
that confirmation which entitles me to speak of it as
certain. You have accounted in a just and proper man-
ner for the absence of these members of the Cabinet
wlso might, had they been here, have addressed you
upon the policy which this Government has pursued—
returned you thanks for the kindness which has
prompted the toast you have given, and expressed
their gratitude at having been enabled during a
trying and critical period to conduct the affairs of
the country in a manner which, I may say, has
given general stitisfactioa.—(Hear, hear.) . More than
this I dare not say at a meeting from which politics
are excluded; but certainly there never was a period in
which the capabilities of men in power for wisely ex-
ercising that power with promptitude, firmness, andvigour, and yet with that gentleness which the critical
position of affairs demanded, were more severely
than were the capabilities of her Majesty's Ministers
during the year which saw all Europe

COURT CIRCULAR.
WINDSOR, MONDAY.
The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early
morning walk.
The Royal Family took walking and pony exercise to-
day in the grounds adjacent to the Castle.
Her Majesty's private band was in attendance in the
Castle after dinner this evening.

His Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Leiningen ar-
rived at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western.
Railway yesterday morning, from the residence of her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Frogmore House.
Windsor. The Prince proceeded to Marlborough House
to pay a visit to the Queen Dowager, and partook of a
dejeuner with her Majesty and the Princesses of nohow.
lohe Schillingsfurst. His Serene Highness, attended by
Sir George Couper, afterwards went to the Waterloo-
bridge terminus, and took his departure by the South.
Western Railway.

HULL.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Since the'very memorable epoch in the annals of
the town of Kingston-upon-Hull, when its governor,
Sir John Hotham, refused, on his knees, to admit his
Maje,ty King Charles, no royalty has ever approached
the precincts of that large :9A-tort, and it has been
now upwards of two hundred years tabooed to the
reigning families of England. It was thought when
the Royal Consort visited the agricultural show, at
York, some effort would have been made by the
mayor, sheriff, magistrates, aldermen and common
councillors of a port claiming to rank as the fourth
port, at least, in the kingdom, to induce his Royal
Highness to visit it; nothing, however, was then
done.
Another opportunity presents itself for the great
men of Hull to raise their town in the estimation of
their fellow-countryrmn. His Royal Highness will
visit Grimsby on the 17th instant to lay the first stone
of the dock there, and it is reported he will visit New
Holland, the northern terminus of the Grimsby and
Sheffield Railway, on the bank of the Humber, nearly
opposite to Hull, and distant only about three miles.
There seems at present but small chance of these
worthies seizing so favourable a moment;
either their ideas are so extravagant as to
the requirements requisite to afford entertainment to
Royalty, or they are nut quite so loyal as many of
them boast themselves. The inhabitants certainly
would be highly gratified by a visit from Prince
Albert, and the inertness of the authorities is loudly
complained of.
The Mayor, whilom, was a free and open-hearted
man, but latterly, and since the last election more
particularly, he appears to be tainted with a portion
of the old leaven, following rather in the wake of
others than fearlessly carrying out what his own
thoughts and feelings dictate. Let him remember
that it is to him the inhabitants look for promptitude
in all matters relative to the welfare and exaltation of
the town, and he alone must be the party to blame, if
blame accrue.
It has been said by some of the wise ones that his
Royal Highness's visit being to Lincolnshire, it would
not be right to invite him into Yorkshire. Perhaps
when he visited the city of York it was not right to
ask him to visit the town and county of Kingston-
upon-Hull, or should his Royal Highness ever honour
Hull with a visit, he must not see the Victoria Dock,
being situate in Drypool.

ROBBING A RAILWAY COMPANY.—On Thursday,
John Ileyes, clerk at the Newcastle station of the York,
Newcastle, and Berwick (North Shields) Railway, Ro;-
bert Bowie, guard, Alexander Alexander, ticket-collector
at Percy Main, and Robert Codling, ticket collector at
North Shields, were charged before J. Bulman and G.
T. Dunn Esqrs., with having conspired together to de-
fraud the company of proprietors. Mr. Newton, of
York, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution. Tickets,
he stated, instead of being sent from Newcastle to York
for comparison with the receipts in money, had been
issued over and over again, the company only receiving
payment for a single issue. Mr. Al!port stated that the
affair had come to his knowledge through a servant
who examined tickets before the trains started.§Ticketo
were marked consecutively, and his informant had dis-
covered to his surprise that lower numbers were issued
in the afternoon than in the morning. The clerk's ex-
planation was that he numbered some hundreds in the
morning and put theca into a bowl, the lower numbers
being at the bottom. A watch, however, was set, the
explanation was ascertained to be false, and tickets
issued at eight and nine o'clock in the morning were
found upon the clerk's person at a later period of the
day. The reissues had always taken place on the same
day, so that there was nothing to excite suspicion at
York. Upon the person of the guard and at his home
money was found
