THE LATE FATAL COLLISION ON THE RICHMOND
AND DATCHET RAILWAY.—At the Richmond Police-
office, on Saturday, Samuel Heeley, the driver of the
Vulture engine, was charged with the manslaughter of
Richard Perry, at Richmond, on the 17th of November
last. The prisoner was severely injured by the collision,
and not able to appear at the examination of Watkins,
the fireman. He was committed tor trial.

HER MAJESTY'S PRIVATE TIIEATEE.—The stage
of the Queen's private theatre, which has been during
the last six weeks erecting in the painting-room
of her
Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket, has received its
finishing stroke and has since been taken to pieces, care-
fully packed in two vans, and removed to Windsor
Castle. The stage-carpenters and machinists of the
Italian opera-house have been sent to the royal residence,
and have fitted up the stage in the apartment set apart
for the dramatic performance to take place in. The stage
is a splendid piece of workmanship, and is built entirely
of timber. The timbers are so formed that they are
held together by mortice joints, not so much as a single
nail being required to fasten any part, either to the
floorings or walls of the Castle. The scenes, which con-
sist of chamber, wood, village, and sea views have been
painted also at her Majesty's Theatre, and are beautiful
productions, in strict keeping with the
lays they are to re-
present, and have been executed by Mr. Thomas Grieve
and
se Mr.. Salfield. They are so formed that, instead of
parating in the centre like the flats of a regular
theatre, they are wound round a kind of drum or barrel,
turned by means of patent windlasses fixed in the flies.
There :are three opening on the P.S., and a similar
number on the O.P. of the stage, sufficiently capacious to
admit of the corps dramatique entering and making exits
without coming in contact with the wings. The curtain
is made of rich silk velvet, is drawn up in a similar
manner as the scenery, and is held straight by a heavy
batten at the bottom. The stage, as it stood in her
Majesty's Theatre, was about 24 feet wide by 34 feet
deep. The foot-lights are formed by a row of splendid
oil lamps, so shaded as to throw the light upon the
smallest object at the back of the stage. The wings and
flies are also lighted with oil lamps. The building of
the stage has been intrusted to Mr. D. Sloman, the
machinist of her Majesty's Theatre.—Observer.
LEASE OF THE EAST LINCOLNSHIRE TO THE GREAT
NORTERN RAILWAY.—The necessary instruments, alter
considerable delay, are now being prepared for the
transfer of the line, about fifty mile in length, and which
runs from the Great Grimsby and Boston to the Great
Northern, which will commence paying on it the 6
per cent. dividend, from the Ist November last.—Don-
caster Chronicle.

GREAT MEETING IN THE MANCHESTER FREE-
TRADE HALL.—Arrangi merits are commenced for hold-
ing a monster meeting of free-traders, financial reformers,
and others, in the Free Trade Hall, in Manchester, on
Thursday, the 4th of Jacuary next. Mr. Cobden, Mr.
Bright, Mr. M. Gibson, Mr. Brotherton, Colonel Thomp-
son, and several other veteran reformers, are expected to
be present and take part in the proceedings. Measures
will be adopted in furtherance of financial reform, and ex-
tension of the franchise, and a more enlarged and compre-
hensive system of registration of voters. It is understood
that Mr. Cobden intends to submit a sort of budget to the
meeting, showing that savings to a very large amount can
be effected in the army, the ordnance, and the navy, with.
out endangering the defences of the country. A very
crowded meeting is expected.
