TO THE BRITANNIA TUBE BRIDGE.

Thou mighty tube that span'st the sea,
At Menai's far-famed straits ;
My wander-stricken muse on thee
With duteous honour waits.

How mighty looks thy iron frame,
While ocean yawns below ;
Thou wilt immortalize the name
.01 him who formed thee so.

To Rhodes' huge colossal form,
Successor thou shalt be ;
A monster mid'at the ocean's storm—
The wonder of the sca.

Well might thy builder's skill be praised,
While 'mid our hopes and fears,
Thy vast majestic tube was raised
Upon its mighty piers.
Enormous,tuhe I for such thou art,
Thy form so vastly planned ;
Cails to my mind that princely Mart,
Which Moses' raised on land.

Niirah-not scOrn to bo com;vired
With Hoses' vast Depot—
A greater Mart was never reared—
And I'm alloweA to know.

But what is giant bulk alone,
When rightly understood?
'Tis nought, unless some use is shown—
Some end to public good.

The Mart of Moses, like to thee,
Wits thus designed to act ;
.And every article we see
Establishes the fact.

n equal hath there ever been
To Mos •s' dress display ;
And proofs of this thou must have seen
rkun thy launching day.

Didst thou not note, on either shore,
The gehtlemen attired
In Moses dress, which more and more,
Deserves to be admired ?

I not,red them : for there they were,
In tens of thousands, too ;
And oft amid the exciting stir,
I turned me round to view.
Great tube (and here I placed my band
slap-bane upon my heart)
May
As 'st
M thou retain as tirm a' stand
oses' noted Mart.

A I A G E.
M. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
iupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
conprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and jnztice demand tfiat health should form malt=
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
THE NORFOLK RAILWAY.
A special meeting of this company was held on Thursday
at the office, Guildhall-buildings, to consider the draft
of a Bill for authorising the amalgamation of the Nor-
folk with the Eastern Counties Company; Mr. Adam
Duff in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the meeting was called in
compliance with Lord Wharncliffe's standing, order,
which required that their sanction should be given to
the Bill prior to being read the second time in the House
of Lords. It was unnecessary for him to go over matters
which had been alredy discussed, and therefore he would
at once move that this meetinedn approve of the Bill,
subject to such alterations as may be introduced by
Parliament.

Mr. S. M. PETO, M.P., seconded the resolution, and
in doing so went into several details connected with the
history and objects of the proposed amalgamation. By
the agreement with the Eastern Counties Company the
capital of the Norfolk was limited to 2,300,000/. On
the 2d of May, 1848, the common eal.pf the Eastern
Counties Company was affixed to. the deeds, arid,
on the Bth of May, the Eastern Counties entered
into possession of the Norfolk line, and all the
works and stock belonging to the Norfolk Company.
The agreement had been twice ratified by the Eastern
Couutiet Company, and it was the opinion of counsel
that the latter were legally bound to carry out
the agreement with the Norfolk Company. He then
proceded to show that the Norfolk Company had
faithfully performed their part of the agreement by
keeping within the specified capital of 2,300,0001.
Everything had been most carefully estimated with regard
to the Norfolk Company; 20,0001. would be realised by
the sale of lands, and 30,000/. by the sale of stores,
making 50,000/. The total cost of the line and
works, including the Lowestoft Harbour, was :ascer-
tained to be 2,233,7481., being nearly 70,0001 under
the limited amount, and leaving besides a margin of
50,0001. He then adverted to the recommendation
of the Eastern Counties Committee of Inquiry to
the shareholders of that company, to complete the
amalgamation with the Norfolk, and alluded to a letter
the board had received a few days ago from the directors
of the Eastern Counties Company respecting the traffic
on the Norfolk line, stating that the earnings for the
year only amounted to 119,865/., or an average 'of 2,1771.
per week, which, after deducting working expenses and
interest on the entire capital, including the unproductive
portion of it expended on the Dereham and.Fakenham
line not yet open, left a balance of 3,000/. This account
differed considerably from another account of the Nor-
folk traffic given by the Eastern Counties' directors, in
which it was stated that the net earnings were ss. Bd.
per share taken one way, and 6s. 2d. per share taken
another way. He had taken considerable pains to as-
certain the working expenses of their line, and for
that purpose consulted some of the most eminent loco-
motive
engineers and responsble contractors, who were
ready to undertake the working of the Norfolk line,
including in their estimate ample provision for the
depreciation of stock and permanent way, at such a rate
as would give to the Norfolk proprietors on the amount
stated by the Eastern Counties Company as the re-
ceipts for the year a dividend of Bs. 6d. per share, or
two and a half per cent.-4s. 3d. for each half-year.
He objected to the mode adopted by the Eastern Coun-
ties Company in fixing the working expenses of the
Norfolk line, upon which there were fewer trains than
on the Eastern Counties line, and they were charged
with the average mileage of the whole. He believed it was
the interest of the Eastern Counties Company to carry
out the amalgamation, and the best thing for the Norfolk
Company that they should repudiate the bargain.—
(Hear, hear.) If any party had a right to complain, he
thought it was the proprietors of the Norfolk Company.
There had been no breach of faith on their part; they
had made a bargain, and they were willing to carry it
out fairly and honestly. He then endeavoured to
show that a certain amount of traffic was brought cn
the Eastern Counties from the Norfolk line, which
h would not come on the former if the Norfolk
line was worked indePcndently by the Norfolk
Company or by any other, company. He was of opinion
ths* if ths-salgass...66-shls-Esioessa; Counties Company
were conducted on comrlterctal principles, with their

income of BCO,OOO/. a year, there would he a probability
of their having fair dividends ; and it would be the in-
terest of the proprietors to pay three or four gentlemen
of business habits adequately tor devoting their time and
attention to the affairs of the company. Ample accounts
should also be furnished to the proprietors, so that they
might clearly see the position of their affairs. With
regard to closing the capital account, he did not think
they could do that, because increased accommodation
would be required from time to time; but he thought
the directors should not undertake the construction of
any additional works unless sanctioned in every case by
the shareholders.

Major COURT said, that he had opposed the amalga-
mation because he did not understand it, and the result
proved that the Norfolk Company had made an im-
prudent bargain. He doubted whether the shareholders
were bound, in point of honour, to carry out the agree-
ment, because they were not fully. informed at the
time it was entered into of every circumstance con-
nected with the subject. The agreement rested on
a fallacy, and he did not think it should be urged
in point of honour, or in point of expediency. He
complained of the want of clearness in the accounts of
the Norfolk Company, and concluded by moving as an
amendment, " That a committee be appointed to investi-
gate the accounts of the company, and that the meet-
ing be adjourned to the 15th of July.
Mr. LAWRENCE trusted that they would not lose
sight of the question before them. Both companies
were bound in honour and law to carry out the agree-
ment.

Mr. OLD thought they had better wait and see what
the Eastern Counties Company intended to do.
Mr. PETO said, that the 13t11 was prosecuted under
the sanction of the Eastern Counties Company, and he
thought the proprietors ought to approve of the Bill.
The plant of the company
had recently been valued at
187,0001. He was only a recent member of the board,
and he and his family held 100,0004 of stock in the com-
pany. He could state that the directors had not acted in
this matter alone; they had consulted the principal
proprietors in the company,
and received their sanction
to the measure.

Mr. BAXENDALE thought that a great deal of injury
had been inflicted on railway property by members of
boards acting on the supposition that there was a
great distinction between their public and private
acts, and he thought that if gentlemen had in every
case looked to their public acts as private indivi-
duals, they would not have committed so many serious
mistakes. He hoped they would be enabled to amal-
gamate the whole of the interests of the district. He
entirely concurred with Mr. Peto as to working the line
by contract. It was the only system by which they could
work with economy. He had had forty years' experience
in conducting a very large establishment, and he was
convinced that the only mode of working a railway with
economy was to contract for the working.. Next to that
was a clear and satisfactory statement of the traffic,
showing the gain or loss on every branch of it periodi-
cally. He was not surprised at the dividends falling off
from 10 to 7 per cent. and from 6 to 4 per cent.; for be
was convinced that no individual dare carry on hs busi-
ness in the same way railway companies did. They com•
plained of the traffic falling off, but he contended that the
traffic was very good. He condemned the reckless way in
which the traffic was conducted on the Eastern Counties
line. There was every hope for the line if a small body
of directors could be induced to devote the whole of
thtir time and attention to the management of the un-
dertaking.
After some further observations a resolution was
passed approving of the Bill. The meeting then sepa-
rated.

CHELMSFORD POLICE.—On Wednesday, the Rev.
Jonathan Henry Price, a dissenting minister of the In-
dependent denomination, at Woodham Ferris, and Pris-
cilla Ruffle, a good-looking woman, about 30 years of
age, daughter of a widow occupying a farm at High
soothing, were brought up for examination at the
Chelmsford bench, before Captain Skinner, R.A., on the
charge of attempting to murder a child found in a basket
at Widford, respecting which much mystery and interest
had prevailed. The child was left in a basket in the
ditch of a country lane, with the lid close down. After

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday afternoon an in-
quest was held at the Red Lion publie-house, Lower
Fore-street, Lambeth, before Mr. W. Carter, the co-
roner, on the body of William Butler, aged 63, who had
died of cholera, but whose family imputed some blame
to Cope, one of the relieving officers, in not attending
properly to his wants. The verdict, after a deliberation
of about half an hour, returned a verdict that the de-
ceased had died from cholera, and therefore from natural
causes. They added, that they could not impute any
blame to the parish officers, for, from the evidence before
them, it appeared that the deceased had been afforded
relief every time he applied for it.
Dispatches were sent off, yesterday evening, from the
Colonial-office, for the Governors of the North American
colonies,

CURRAGH JUNE MEETING, 1849.—TIIIIRSDAY.
Stewards—The Marquis of Waterford, Sir T. Burke,
Bart., and J. Courtenay, Esq.
Were it net for the attractive metal of her Majesty's
hundred, presented in the good old-fashioned shape of
guineas, it is more than probable that yesterday would
have been a dies non as regards racing on the plains of
Kildare, only one other event being on the cards, which
was, however, remarkably well contested. The special
train, which left the King's bridge terminus, was
crowded ; the attendance, notwithstanding, was very
limited compared with former meetings. The day's
sport concluded about half-past three o'clock, and the
special train reached Dublin a few minutes after five.

[PRICE 05D.

At Greenhithe the Cygnet led by a quarter of a mile,
the Cynthia second, the Foam thtrd, the Musquito
fourth, then the Daring and Secret, the Bianca and Gipsy
literally tailed off. In St. Clement's the Musquito
ran into third place to leeward of the Foam, which
shortly after carried away her jib haulyards, and off
Gravesend carried away her gaff topsail, and set a small
headed one she had had before, as well as availing her-
self of the balloon jib haulyards to repair the first acci-
dent. As the wind continued to freshen towards flood
the Musquito gradually gain( d upon her opponents, and
at the Bligh beacon the Cygnet led by about three
lengths, Cynthia second, and the Musquito about a fur-
long only astern of her. Some beautiful sailing here
followed between the two first, the Cynthia went up to
the Cygnet and tried to pass her to leeward, but was un-
able to do so, and after keeping her company for a short
distance dropped a trifle astern, which was two or three
times repeated, until just below the Chapman's Head
buoy, when the Cynthia fairly slipped into the second
place, followed in a few minutes afterwards by the Mus-
quito, who began to give strong symptoms of overhaul-
ing the leading boat. Lord Alfred Paget (the commo-
dore), on the arrival 9f the Jupiter off Southend Pier,
brought her to, having previously fired a gun from
either bow to apprise the yachtmen that the distance had
been shortened, and that they were to round the steamer,
which they did in the following order :
Hours. Mina. Sees.
Musquito ...... 2
Cynthia
Cygnet
Daring
Secret...
Foam 2 . 47
_. _ _

The Musquito put down her helm and came over to
round, but seemed to be doubtful by the sweep she made
whether the steamer was at anchor, or whether they
had been guilty of inattention to their interests. How-
ever, in this respect it is difficult to say, but she went so
wide of the mark that the Cynthia slipped in between
the Mosquito and the steamer, which was dead at anchor,
and they rounded abreast in the same instant, but imme-
diately afterwards the topmast of the Musquito was car-
ried away by the bowsprit of the Cynthia striking, as it
was alleged by several who had witnessed it, the Mus-
quito's topmast stay; that they had almost unavoidably
fouled is certain, tnd the Cynthia had sustained some
trifling injury also. Which party ought to have given
way caused not a little contention amongst those assem-
bled, and which ought to have ported her helm -caused
much diversity of opinion; some held that the Cynthia
had clearly a right to go where she did, and that the
other should have given way, as from the nature of the
Cynthia's position the collision was unavoidable, unless
the Musquito ported her helm to give her room; while
others maintained that the Musquito had jibbed first,
and that the Cynthia ought to have gone outside of her.
The Musquito rigged a jury mast and hoisted the protest
signal immediately after the collision. The Cynthia
maintained her lead, and they arrived in the following
order and time, the Cygnet being, with her allowance of
seven minutes and a half, the winner:—
Hours. Mins. Secs.
Cynthia
Musquito
Cygnet
Daring ...
Secret 5 37 ..... 10
Foam ....... 5

Lord Allred Paget presented the cup to the represen-
tative of the owner of the Cygnet, and the usual
honours were gone through, including the Health of
ber Majesty," &c. The owner of the Foam also re-
ceived her prize for the last match, which bad been left
in abeyance, the sailing committee havibg decided in
her favour. The band of the 2d Life Guards were in
attendance, and played the most popular airs' and the
company were landed at an early hour, much gratified
with the day's sport.

CRICKET.
COUNTY OF SURREY V. COUNTY OF SUSSEX.

This match, which was commenced on Thursday at
the Oval. was brought to a conclusion last evening, and
so near did it occupy the full time that when the last
wicket was taken by Surrey the clock stood at four
minutes-to eight.
Each day the ground was very fully attended. The
match throughout reflected the greatest credit upon all
who were engaged in the play. We have seldom wit-
nessed so much good play with 'so little of that which
was bad, indeed we cannot at this moment call to our
recollection any mistake, or an instance of what can be
denominated bad play, rom the opening to the close of
the contest. The bowling on both sides was of the
highest character, whilst the batting was nearly its equal.
It will, however, noticed that there were but few long
scores. Chester stands at the head of the list for runs,
having made 12 and 44, and the next is Bushby, who
scored 7 and 42. Both batted beautifully, and it
afforded all around the ring great satisfaction on finding
that the latter appeared not only to have regained his
health, but also hie play. Want of space prevents our
entering into any further detail, except to remeak that
the fielding on both sides was snail as has rarely been
seen.

The match stood as follows at its close, and was in
favour of Surrey, who won by 15 rune:—
