was extremely auspicious throughout the day. After
breakfast at the Seven Stars and Seymour's Hotels, the
company assembled at the Totnes station. Among these
present were—Sir Thomas Fellowes. Sir Anthony Butler,
Colonel Harris, Mr. T. Woolcornbe, Mr. Brown, Mr. R.
Cole, Mr. Derry, Mr. C. C. Whiteford, Mr. W. Carr,
the Mayors of Plymouth, Devonport, and Totnes ;

Gibbs and Mr. Fripp, of Bristol; Mr. Sillifant, the high
Sheriff of the county ; Mr. Brunel, Mr. Samuda, Mr.

From the high land of Dartmoor, in the centre of South
Devon, to the sba-side, the country is traversed with
ridges of hills, which gradually diminish as they ap•
proach the water's edge. Between these hills are several
deep vales which originate the rivers Erme, Teign,
Dart, Plyrn, &c. To cut through the high land and
cross these vales with a railroad is a formidable work
for any engineer; all present in the train on Friday 811-
peered to be perfectly satisfied with the great talent and
ingenuity displayed by Mr. Brunel in overcooling the
natural difficulties of the undertaking. Shortly after
leaving Totnes, the road enters the Marley tunnel, about
800 yards in length, cut through the grounds of Lady
Carew. It then trends towards the north, and at Brent
is within half a mile of Dartmoor. Between Brent and
Glase is the station of Wrangerton,
selected for the
convenient approach of the projected branch from Kings-
bridge. -By curved viaduqa.lol4.4l44 100 feet, high,
and foimed "of `heavy bilks of timber laid across
massive moorstone piers, the road crosses the valleys of
Giese, Ivybridge, Blatchford, and Slade. From these
portions of the line, looking down the vales
towards the sea, the country presents a most de-
lightful appearance, and all sense of the supposed danger
on the viaducts is lost in admiration of the picturesque
scenery. After passing Ivybridge the village of Cole-
brook and Underwood are approached, and thence the
road falls into the lower roads of &thrum, the seat of
the Earl of Morley. Crossing the upper stream of the
Laira, the line approaches the western coast, and then,
skirting the land under Crabtree, it winds through the
waters of the Lairs., and passes under the embankment
which protects the turnpike-road from the encroachments
of the sea; it then debouches into the new station con-
structed in front of the Lairs cottages. Here the train

and urged upon the delegates the necescitV of. union and
unanimity iu their body. At present there was a decided
split among the Chartists of Lancashire, owing to the
recent conduct of Mr. O'Connor.
The delegates then resumed the consideration of the
report of the organization committee, and after a long
discussion, resolved to appoint, provisionally, twenty
commissioners, whose appointments have all to be sub

The election of the commissioners occupied the As-

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady. Sales 5,000 bales. Railway Shares, although
in but limited request, had a tendency to advance.
The Belgian aed other Continental papers received
to-day contain no news of particular interest. The
want of specie for the payment of wages was felt as a
great inconrenience by the inanutacturers who had me-
morialized the Goverement to order the payment in
specie of the notes of the Societe Generale where the ob-
ject was to distribute the amount among workmen.
Another arrival from the Cape of Good
!lope gives us dates three days later than those
already to hand. There is no political news of in-
tei est. The excellent precautions adopted to ensure -
the tranquillity of the frontier were proving most
elfec,ual, for even cases of stealing were become rare.
The Kafirs, indeed, are Ilely now to be organized into
useful communities, and-to be taught more effectually
the arts of peace. Trade was increasing, but the isle •
ports were stated to be too large for the exports, now
the military expenditure in the eastern province is likely
to be diminished.
The failures in the north of Europe still continue,
and much inquietude prevails in consequence.

INCOME-TAX RETURNS SOLD AS WASTE PAPER.—
A weekly contemporary states, that a few days since,
W. Callcutt, a butcher, residing at King's-cross, pur-
chased a quantity of Waste paper, and upon making an
examination of it, he discovered that nearly the whole
of the income-tax papers which had been returned by
the inhabitants of St. Mary's, Islington, and St. Luke

SALE OF THE LATE SIR ROBERT GORDON'S PIC-
TURES.—The sale of the Italian pictures collected by the
late tiir Robert Gordon, G.C.8., late ambassador et the
court of Vienna, took place on Saturday, by Messrs.
Christie and Manson. With one or two exceptions, the
pictuies were copies. The exceptions were a little
picture, by Moretto, formerly in the Lampeira Palace,
of the " Marriage of tit. Catherine," which sold for
95 guineas ; and the 64 Portrait of Cardinal Loreczo
Pucci," by BmiTaelle. This lecture, formerly in the
Rossi eialuction at Bologna, represents the earsiinal in a
black and white dress in• a sitting position, holding a
letter in his hand. It is stated by Passavant to be an
undoubted work of Raffaelle. Mr. Christie (the
auctioneer) stated that the late possessor gave
1,500 guineas for it ; and during his lifetime had refused
most tempting offers. He would put it in at 1,0001., rind
if there was no advance beyond that sum, he Int''t
withdraw it. There ;was but one offer beyond that
sum, viz.. 1,000 guineas ; at which price it was knocked
down. The purchaser being Mr. Retnagle, the artist.
ORDNANCE SCETEY OF TIM METROPOLIS —Yes-
terday a company of theKoyat Sappers and Miners were

metropolis. The dexterity with which the men pursued
their operations at this dizzy
height, their only support
the .architectural ornaments of the building, excited con-
siderade curiosity.

IRELAND.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE QUEEN V. MITCHEL.
DUBLIN, MONDAY, MAY B.—This case, specially fixed
for argument, was called on at the sitting of their
Lordships.
The Attorney-General and Messrs. Whiteside, Q.C.,
Henn, Q.C., Baldwiti, Q.C., and Perrin, appeared fur
the Crown; Sir Colman O'Loghlen, and Messrs. Holmes
and O'llagen for the traverser.
Mr. Mitchell WAS seated at the side bar.
The case upon the information for publishing the
letter to Lord Clarendon, as "her Majesty's butcher-
general for Ireland," was first proceeded with.
Mr. PERRIN, for the Crown, in support of the de-
murrer, shortly stated the nature of the motion. He
said the Attorney-General had filed an ex officio in-
formation against the traverser, who put in a plea to the
..ffect, that the court could not take cognisance of that
information, because within the same time an indictment
had been found against him by the grand jury upon
the same charge—upon which indictment he had been
duly arraigned—to which he had pleaded—and which,
after such plea by the traverser, had been abandoned by
the Crown. Among other causes of demurrer, it was
specially demurred, that the plea was bad, on the ground
of uncertainty, as it.did not appear whether it was a plea
in bar or in abatement. He argued that the plea was
had, even if the indictment was pending, and that if it
were not bad, all objection was removed by the nollo
prosequi.
Sir C. O'LOGRLEN, for the traverser, submitted that
upon the record as it stood, there was, in point of fact, a
discontinuance, and that, therefore, the Crown, was out
of court and must commence proceedings de novo.
Mr. BOLDIES followed on the same side.

THE NORTH' MAIL TRAIN.—(From a Corres•
pondent.)--This morning, about halt-past three o'clock,
as the mail train from the north was approaching within
a few miles of Derby a violent noise was heard, caused,
it appears, by the breaking of a wheel of a second-
class carriage. After proceeding upwards of two miles,
having passed through a tunnel, it was discovered
the carriage referred to was off the rails, and the train
was Stopped. The gentlemen in the next carriage, a
first-class one, were for a considerable time in the
greatest alarm, having discovered the cause of the fear-
fill jolting and clouds of gravel, &c., which was conse-
quently occasioned, long before the servants in charge
of the train did. After a delay of an hour and a half,
the passengers were taken into the. foremost carriage,
the others being left behind, in consequence of the
second-class carriage being se much damaged. One
gentleman, from jumping out before.the train was stop-
ped, was much hurt about the shoulders. The above is
another instance of the absolute necessity of some
means being adopted
whereby passengers may commu-
nicato with the guards, as our correspondent was fully
aware of the great danger of his situation some minutes
before the officials discovered it. It is but right to men-
tion that the servants of the company acted in the matter
with the greatest attention.
SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—This morning a shock-
ins occurrence took place in Little St. Thomas the
Apostle : a man named William Page, a book marbler,
Sx., residing at No. 1, having thrown himself out of a
window on the third story. He had been ill for a con-
siderabk, time, and his mind was affected. On bring
taken up he was found to be dreadfully injured, and was
conveyed to the hospital, where not the slightest hopes
were given of his recovery.
THE BODY or A MURDERED CHILD SENT BY THE
_PARCELS DELIVERY.—On Thursday evening a small
wicker-basket was brought to the Parcels Delivery
Company's Office, in Middleton-street, Clerkenwell, by
.a respectable-looking young woman, who paid the car-
riage; it was addresed to the relieving-officer, Holborn
Union, Gray's Inn-lane, where it was delivered in due
course, and on being opened the body of a male child
about three days old was discovered, in a shocking state
of decomposition. On Saturday an inquest was held on
the body, before Mr. Mills, at the board-room of the
Holborn Union, when, in accordance with the medical
evidence, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder
against some person unknown.
Mr. A. Moxhel, the Consul General of Belgium for
New York, arrived in London yesterday morning, by the
General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho,
from Antwerp.

The ClllEr JUSTICE—Let the arguments in the second
case against the traverser be gone into.
This was the information against Mr. Mitchell for his
article headed " Striking terror."
Mr. John O'llagan.opened the argument in this pre.
seeution, and Mr. Perrin and Sir C. O'Loghlen having
been heard,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, and submitted that
according to practice, the Court was bound to give
judgment for the Crown. He argued at great length
against the cases cited in support of the alleged disconti-
nuance, and contended that the entering of the none
prosequi before the filing of the ex officio information
was sufficient to warrant the course taken by the Crown.

, We • have great pleasure in being able to state on
authority, that his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
will consecrate the chapel of St. Augustine's Con,,ge
the new training place of our colonial missionaries, on'
Saint Peter's Day (June 29). It deserves to be re-
marked, that this institution is founded on the very site
of that abbey fromwhich the first missionaries went
forth to Christianize the heathen inhabitants of our na-
tive land.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF BITTON PAPER
MILLS.—BRISTOL, MAY B.—An express messenger
arrived in this city yesterday, from Bitton, Gloucester.
shire, soliciting the assistance of the fire-engines of the
different offices, in consequence of the breaking out of a
fire in the extensive paper mills in that village, known
as Bevans's Mills. The engines were dispatehtd to the
spot, as were others from the more immediately adjacent
town of Keynsham, but all efforts to arrest the progress
1 of the fire proved unavailing, which was not extinguished
till the entire building and all the valuable machinery
were reduced to a heap of ruins. There was a large
stock of paper in the store-room, of which a good deal
was got out comparatively uninjured. The jpremises
and stock were both insured in the Sun sod Imperial
offices.
