Cross-eximtned by the ATTORNEY.GENERAI.--Did
not know whether he was a Chartist or not, but upon
being pressed, he admitted that he was, and belonged
to the Vat Tyler Brigade. Davis was a class leader.
Witness bought a gun in order, if there was to be a fight,
he might be ready as well as the rest. Davis said there
would be a revolution, but witness said there would not,
as they were not ready. Davis had always a brace of
pistols about him. The gun witness bought was a
Queen Anne's piece, and a real rum one.—(Laughter.)
Witness gave 6s. for it.
Reuben Collett—Was a baker and knew Davis. Was
not a Chartist, and had never been asked by Davis to
become one. Saw pistols in Davis's shop. Had heard
Davis say he was a Chartist, but never heard him say
he would wallow knee Beep in blood for the rights of
his fellow-creatures.
Thomas Martin said that he had heard Davis make
use of that expression, but Collett was not present.
John Matthews, a bricklayer at Greenwich—Had seen
Davis at several of the Chartist meetings in Greenwich
with pistols, and urging the people to join the Chartists.
John Hanks, of Greenwich, said that Davis had told
him half--inch chisels were very good things to tear up
LIT bowels of the, police, and, pointing to a musket, he
said, " these are the things that will settle your special
constables." Witness.would not believe Davis on his oath.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Davis
knew witness was a special constable. Witness would
not join the Chartists, because he knew what they wanted
could never be carried out in this country.
John Stanton, John Pinegar, and several other wit-
nesses from Greenwich, were examined for the purpose
of contradieting the evidence of Davis, but they did not
succeed in doing so in any material respect.
The trial was proceeding when our report left.

THE LATH HON. ARD REv. Drt. GERALD WEL-
LESLEY.—The remains of this highly estimable gent'.
man were to be interred yesterday in a vault within the
precincts of Durham Cathedral. Viscount Chelsea, the
Hon. Colonel Liddell, and other connexions, were to
attend the funeral. The late Countess of Mornington
(mother of the deceased), and the late Marquis Wel-
lesley, the Earl of Mornington, and Lord Cowley, are
all interred in the family vaultiat South Audley Chapel.
FATAL REMORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held
on the body of Henry Fox, aged 34, a lamplighter in the
employ of the City Gas Company. On Saturday last
the deceased and his wife had been taken to the station-
house for creating a disturbance in the street, and being
drunk and disorderly. On Monday they were charged
before Sir Peter Laurie with the offence, and fined ss.
each The unfortunate deceased would seem to have
been generally of temperate habits, and the disgrace of
having been locked up in a station-house preyed exces-
sively on his spirits; and this, coupled with the tear of
losing his situation at the gas-works, at length led him
to hang himself. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.
SIGNS OF WlNTER.—Several flocks of wild geese
have been seen upon the Cornish coast, and quantities
of starlings have also wade their appearance. Many
woodcocks have shown themselves, and a few have been
shot. A beautiful specimen of the osprey or fishing
hawk (pancion haliachis), was caught alive at Moors•
water Lodge, by P. Lyne, Esq. It was seen for several
days previously about the grounds, induced to remain
there probably for the purpose of preying on the trout
in the fish ponds, although it had been once fired at.
It was finally captured by means of a rat-gin placed on
a high pole, on which the bird attempted to perch ; it
was very slightly injured, and is now in Mr. Lynn' s
possession. According to Montagu, the osprey is rarely
met with in England, and more frequently in Devonshire
than elsewhere.—Plymouth Journal.
MARBLE VENEERING, OR SLATY PAINT.—III Ohio,
according to a New York paper, a Mr. Blake, of Akron,
has discovered a curious mineral, soft at first, and like
indigo, but hardening in a few days into a slaty stone.
On analysis it is found to consist of about
one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, with mag-
nesia, oxide and sulphate of iron, lime, and carbon. By
reducing it to fine powder, mixing with linseed oil into
thick paint, and applying it with a brush to wood, iron,
tin, zinc, or brick, it becomes, after a few months'
exposure, per'ectly hard and indestructible. As
a protection against fire, it is said to be invalu-
able. In the west it is in large demand for covering
roofs of buildings, for bridges land fences, &c., all of
which i t protects from weather as well as from fire.
School slates are manufactured by applying it to thin
wood or pasteboard. On wooden mantel fronts and
tables its appearance, when polished, is held to be
not inferior to the finest Egyptian marble. Mr.
Blake has procured a patent fur his discovery. Would
not Portland cement, in fine powder, end thus applied,
with linseed oil, produce a slaty veneer over simi-
lar surfaces ? We make a present of the sugges-
tion to the Portland cement manufacturers. Pa.
rian cement mixes with oil, and might thus,
we think, be used as paint, or for stony veneering ;
and certainly the surface of blocks of Portland cernen,
reminds one a good deal of slate: the hardening, toot
from a soft or moist state very much adds to the resem-
blance which it bears to this new world's wonder. By
the way, silica, with lime, has been found, if wo mistake
not, to form a sort of glaze well adapted to give a stony
veneering, like this, to plaster.—The Builder.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importation of lambs from
Holland continues to take place, although the season is
so far advanced for this description of young live stock.
The vessel Lord John Russell, arrived from Harlingen,
has brought 78 lambs, in addition to a fair complement
of other descriptions of live cettle; and the large quan-
tity of 3,458 casks of butter and 300 of cheese, 100 bags
of beans, 710 quarters of oats, some packages of poultry,

" In preparing the above tables, it has been the earnest wish of
the directors to exhibit, in as clear and intelligible
a form as possible, not only the whole expenditure already incurred,
but an estimate of all future liabilities.

expended on the 30th of June last, to complete all the works at present in progress, is estimated

For this outlay the company will possess 500 miles of railway, and a pecuniary interest in 641 miles in addition,
which may be considered as a tributary to the parent line.

pations are reasonable or otherwise, taking all the circumstances into consideration, and being guided by the ex-

theseof the lines therein
w e enume-
rated were obtained under circumstances which no longer press upon the company- It_ intended to proceed
with them at present, and therefore it is proposed to confine the following remarks to the undertakings which are
actualy in course of progress.
" GUARANTEED LINES.—It is scarcely necessary to remind the proprietors that guarantees
..
in most cases as much with the view to the ultimate protection of the large income o j the company, as to
any increase of its profits—it will be observed that in no case (that of the North -Union and Preston and Wyre lines
excepted, in which the London and North-Western; and Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies unite in the gua-
rantee) is in any dividend guaranteed beyond a moderate per centage on the outlay, but
information
aggregate these
liabilities are apparently large, it may be desirable here briefly to repeat in substance the respecting
,them which has been given in a great measure on former occasions in the ball-yearly reports of the company.
" On the Buckinghamshire lines the original plan has been considerably modified and the capital reduced ; the
guarantee is four per cent. This li
ne may hereafter become of great importance as affording a second line toßir-
iningham, having obtained powers by Act of Parliament to work its traffic over that portion of the Birmingham
and Oxford line from Banbury to Birmingham.
"The Coventry and Nuneaton is a short line, which will open important collieries. In the extent of its mineral
traffic, which will be brought upon the main line, consists its chief value.
" The Huddersfield and Manchester, and Leeds and Dewsbury, provide the most direct line that can be con-
structed between Manchester and Leeds. The distance being forty-two miles against the present route of sixty-
two, passing through the large manufacturing towns of Dewsbury and Huddersfield, and a very populous e, , inter-
vening district, and with excellent termini in Leeds and Manchester. The prospects of tram() nave always been
considered favourable; and when it is remembered that the guarantee is contingent on the dividend of the main
line, and that while the returns of the London and North-Western Company continue 7 per cent., it is limited to
4/. 18s. per cent.; there seems every reason to hope that the result of this undertaking will be satisfactory.
"The Preston and Wyre is leased to the London and North-Western Company, jointly with the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Company ; the latter having two-thirds, and the London and North-Western one-third of the risk.
" The North Union line is also a joint-lease with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at ten per cent. per
annum ; the loss upon this undertaking has been charged in the revenue account of the general concern, and in
both cases it is not improbable that any loss will entirely disappear with the return of commercial prosperity,
" The Shropshire Union lines are guaranteed a dividend equal to half of that of the London and North-
Western Company, but are entitled to any profits on their own line as far as six per cent. ; further profits to be
divided equally between the two companies. The nominal capital is large, but the Shropshire Union Company
has at present confined its outlay to the formation of a line from Shrewsbury to Stafford ; the calculations
appended, refer only to that work, which brings a new and important district into immediate connection with the
centre of the London and North Western Company's lines. The canal forms a portion of this guarantee, but as it
has produced a nett profit considerably above the guarantee, and is not likely to be seriously affected by surrounding
interests, the directors feel much confidence in assuring the proprietors that they do not anticipate any drain on
their resources from this undertaking.
" The Stour Valley line will be an expensive work, and the cost will exceed the original estimate in consequence
of the line passing through a densely-peopled district, which rendered it difficult to calculate its expense.
" The guarantee of two-thirds the dividend of the London and North-Western Company is on 565,750/. The
guarantee of the Birmingham Canal is also connected with this undertaking; but as the revenue of the canal is
no,w,
Iyielding more than sufficient to cover it, this liability, the directors trust, may be considered as nominal.

points ut which they contemplate this economy, but should the arrangements now proposed be carried out, the
effect would be materially to reduce the general expenditure.
" The only remaining guarantee is that to the Scottish Central Company, which/ is taken in concert with the

Lancaster and Carlisle, Caledonian, and Edinburgh and
Glasgow Companies. The lease is 7 per cent. on a ca-
pital not exceeding 1,020,000/. (of which this rompan'ys
proportion is one-fourth); and as the lass, if any, is
to be borne only in proportion to the traffic which each
company receives from it, the risk is inconsiderable.
" The directors may dismiss, thereforo, this descrip-
tion of engagement,. with remarking, that if they do not
offer any early or flattering prospects of profit, neither
as a whole (taking into account the additional traffic to
be brought upon the old lines) are they calculated to
prove a lasting burden on the company; and further
that the control of the working of these important
branches will add to the strength and security of the
whole undertaking is beyond doubt; and when time has
been afforded for the development of their resources, it is
not unreasonable to expect that profit also will be derived
from them. In dealing with these engagements, there-
fore, the directors assume that the liabilities will be met
by the proceeds.

" Tlie next class of obligations is that in which the
company hold stock in undertakings not yet opened, or
only partially se. The amount of capital thus contri-
buted, as per sch, dule 3, is 4,945,231/.
" The directors are aware that the net revenue to be
derived from these several lines may be variously esti-
mated; but however sanguine may be the expectations
of those competent to form an opinion of what may pro-
bably be realised in a few years, they desire in this
statement to take a safe view of the probable results.
" In estimating, therefore, the net proceeds of these
undertakings at 3 per neat., they by no means wish to
convey an impression that such is likely to be the issue,
but rather to place the calculation on lso low a scale as
not to be open to question.
"The subscription to the Caledonian Company is so
limited in extent that a very small dividend would not
entail much loss.

" The Lancaster and Carlisle line has paid the com-
pany 4 per cent. on its stock since the opening, and the
traffic has so largely increased, that an early advance of
dividend may be expected. There will consequently be
a direct profit on this stock, and one which the directors
feel confident must steadily improve.
"The branch lines embraced in the second schedule
comprise extensions into new districts, such as the
Stamford and Rugby Railway, the Clifton branch con-
necting the East Lancashire with the Liverpool and
Manchester line, the tunnel and new stations in Liver-
pool, and the enlargement of station accommodation.
The last named portion of this capital cannot be
expected to prove remunerative per se, but will
be necessary to enable the company to obtain the
traffic expected to arise from the new lines and
extensions about to be opened in various
directions. The means of conducting the
goods traffic at Liverpool are now quite inadequate to
the demand, and comparatively speaking a small por-
tion only of the traffic to and from the interior of the
country is yet transferred to the railway. The new
station at the north end of Liverpool, and the expected
junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line at
Manchester, are calculated considerably to in-
crease this business. The capacity of the Lon-
don and North-Western line for receiving and convey-
ing a very large accession of traffic is undoubted; but
without the terminal enlargement now in course of being
provided, the directors would have found it difficult to
manage such an increase, as on a revival of the com-
mercial prosperity of the country, may reasonable be
expected.
" Having now rapidly glanced at their various litibili-
ties, it remains for the directors to point the attention of
the proprietors to the present state of the capital and
revenue accounts, and to supply materials which may
enable them to form their own judgment of the future
return.

" The gross reveaue of the year ending 30th June,
1848, was 2,194,0931., or an average of 42,194 L per
week.

"It therefore remains for the shareholders to decide
whether the preceding calculations are sound and mode-
rate, and if so, whether there is a reasonable probability
of the gross revenue of the company from the main line
and branches to be opened increasing to an extent of
6,4241. per week. by the year 1852, when all the capital
will be called up, and the subsidiary lines be in operation.
" To produce such an increase, there is the addi-
tional revenue to be derived from all the lines enume-
rated in Schedules 2 and 3; and that steady annual in-
crease, which, with the exceptioa of periods of severe
depression, has taken place since the lines were opened
—to which should be added, that economy of manage-
ment which increased experience will enable the direc-
tors to introduce.
