HARTLEPOOL DUCK AND RAILWAY.

The annual meeting of this company was held re.
cently at Hartlepool, Mr. W. Green in the chair.
The report stated that the payment on account of the
new shares to the 30th of June amounted to 65,8101.,
and the debts discharged out of the same to 35,9801.,

company have advanced 19,0001. to the York, New-
castle, and Berwick, at 4 per cent. interest, and there
is a balance of 13,8831 due from the Hartlepool
Junction Company to this company, which bears 5
pbr cent. interest. It is intended before the Ist of
Jannary next to consolidate the various denomina-
tions of shares into one consolidated stock, when the
new fifth shares commence at the same rate of 8 per
cent. per annum as the old shares.

Resolutions were passed adopting the report ; de-
claring a dividend at 4/. per share, less income-tax;
and re-electing Messrs. P. Foster, A. W. Hutchin-
son, R. Heinle, T. R. Grey, and J. Wood, the mem-
bers of the committee.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD, SEPT. s.—Daring the present week we
have had frequent showers, and harvest in this neigh-
bourhood has not made very great progress. The re-
ported arrivals are very small, but there is a good
quantity of new wheat per railway, which meets a fair
sale at prices scarcely equal to last week, but still rela-
tively high; the baler qualities of old make the prices
of last Friday, and inferior sorts are still neglected.
Oats and shelling are tully as dear. Beans scarce. In
other articles no change.

PANORAMA OF THE NILE.

A private view took place last night at 53, Pall.
mall, of three large and elaborate additional views to
be added to Messrs. Warren, Bonomi, and Fahey's
panorama of the Nile, and the Holy Land. Toe pic-
tures in question represent the principal bazaar in
Grand Cairo, crowded with buyers and sellers, and
piled with masses of glittering eastern merchandise,
and two religious ceremonies—the annual recurrence
of both of which is hailed as holiday occasions by
the faithful of the city of the Nile. First, we have
the procession of the Mahmal, an ornamented cover-
ing, yearly sent from Cairo to deck the Cava at
Mecca—a small temple reported by the Mussulmans
to have been built by Abraham—the sacred offering
preceded by a band of fanatic snake charmers, and
followed by a long procession of ecclesiastical and civic
functionaries • while afterwards there is exhibited the
ceremonial of the Dosah, also of yearly occurrence
in Cairo, where, upon the anniversary of the Pro-
phet's birthday, the Sheik, or chief of the snake
charmers, rides through the city and over long rows
of prostrate bodies of his admirers ; the fact of sub-
mitting to the tread of the horse being esteemed a
signal evidence of orthodoxy. The theory of the
ceremony is, that nobody is or can be hurt by the
sacred hoofs, and the horse is probably trained to
walk as gingerly as may be, and to step fairly on the
prostrate bodies; but in the occasionally occurring
case of an awkward squeeze, great care is taken to
hush up the scandal.

The new pictures are spirited, effective, and full of
interest , the architectural and still-life details admi-
rable; and the general result a decidedly instructive
and curious addition to the former panorama, the chief
pictorial points of which, we may remark, have been
furbished up and retouched.

ill-
Way. At Valparaiso, according to a recent touristt,in the
have a contrivance worth noting. The theatre there,t he
says, is of rather large dimensions,and the fronts of the
tiers of boxes and gallery, instead of panelling, as in our
English theatres, consist of balustrading, painted white, with
gold mouldings, and the effect Is exceedingly light and
pretty, as well as cool. The seats in the pit are all divided
by arms, and each seat lifts up and discloses a small box, in
which to place the hat of a person occupying it—a very
capital contrivance. The seats are called lunetas, and may
be hired by the year or for the evening. They are all num-
bered ; and as only the same number of tickets are issued as
correspond with the number of the sittings, the place is never
invJuveniently crowded,--The Builder.

the Recorder, Mr. M. D. Hill, Q.C., adjourned the

and elaborate statement, Ktting forth the law upon the
subject, and from which it appeared that no similar
course had arisen for the last 400 years. The Limited
Gentleman did not, however, finally dispose of the
matter, but adjourned the sessions until the 31st of
October, to afford time for a fuller and more complete
consideration of tha case, and refused to proceed with
the trial of any more of the prisoners. Another objec-

GERMANY.

A Vienna letter of the 16th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, states that the Austrian Cabi-
net has recently addressed a note to the British and
French Governments, in reply to the protest against
Austria entering with all her states into the Germanic
Confederation. This letter asserts that Austria denies
the right of France and England to interfere in this
question, and states that she will recognise no other
judge than the Diet, if she should call for a decision
on the subject.
London, England, 1851-10-23

ASSASSINATION OF FRASCHINI, THE
SINGER.

A letter from Venice, in the Trieste Gazette, pub-
lishes the subjoined account of the murder of Fras-
chini, the tenor, by a brother artiste :
" On the 10th instant, Fraschini, the celebrated tenor,
was sitting at his breakfast, when his colleague, Collini,
the baritone, who has met with but little applause from
the public, owing to his having nearly lost his voice,
entered his room, and shook hands with him. After a
few moments' conversation, Collini drew a dagger and
stabbed Fraschini three times through the heart. The
latter fell dead upon the ground. The assassin then
effected, his escape. The Italian Opera thus loses one
of its brightest ornaments. Fraschini was married, and
the father of four children."

THE NORTH WELSH n dredging
has no become so extremely profitable in the Menai Straits
that fishing vessels from Jersey and other distant partsfind it
to their advantage to go thither, in order to speculase upon
the profits of a season. These straits abound with vast
quantities of fish which hitherto have passed without notice,
or comparatively little, in consequence of their being but a
limited demand, but the opening of the Chester and Holy-
head line has at length aroused the North Wales fishermen
to the necessity of exerting themselves, otherwise the trade
will be carried from them by enterprising and energetic
Englishmen. Accordingly, from the neighbourhood of Con-
.-ray, large quantities of fish are regularly conveyed by the
rail to Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester, and the other
large inland towns, where they find a ready, market. On
the establishment of the branch line from Carnarvon to Ban-
gor, it is expected that large quantities of the,finny and shell
tribe which so abound in Carnarvon bay will likewise find
their way to England for disposal. In Beaumaris bay ves-
sels from Hoylake regularly fish, and forward large cargoes
to the Lancashire markets.
NEW Ownnus.—Another new patent omnibus
commenced running yesterday between the Strand and the
North-Western Railway. The peculiarity of the new vehicle
consists in a double door, which swings OH a pivot, and turns
completely round, besides possessing a moveable axis, thus
enabling the door to be swung with facility entirely out of
the way of the entrance to the Omnibus, and affording space
tor more than one pesos at a time to enter. • -

SPA IN.

Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived.
The Gazette publishes a decree for the establikh-
ment of a practical school of artillery to be established
on board a vessel of war in one of the sea-ports.
It appears that the Spanish Government intends to
demand of the Emperor of Mouocco a reparation for
the outrage committed on the Moors by the Spanish
schooner loven Emilia.

The Ministerial journal the Orden gives a direct
contradiction to a statement of M. OLIVEIRA, who, in
London, is said to have announced publicly that he
had obtained at Madrid a sensible amelioration of the
position of the holders of coupons of Spanish Bonds.
This paper states, on the contrary, that the Govern-
ment has decided on executing in all its parts the law
for the regulation of the debt as voted by the two
Chambers and sanctioned by the QUEEN.

A PARTY OF BIGHFLYERS.

Wild and daring as was the act, it is no less true
that men's first attempts at a flight through the air
were literally with wings. They conjectured that
by elongating their arms with a broad mechanical
covering, they could convert them into wings ; and
forgetting that birds possess air cells, which they can
inflate, that their bones are full of air instead of mar-
row, and, also, that they possess enormous strength
of sinews expressly for this purpose, these desperate
half. theorists have launched themselves from towers
and other high places, and floundered down to the
demolition of their necks or limbs, according to the
obvious laws and penalties of nature. We do not
allude to the Icarus of old, or any fabulous or remote
aspirants, but to modern times. 'Wonderful as
it may seem, there are some instances in which
they escaped with only a few broken bones. Mil-
ton tells a story of this kind in his " History of
Britain," the flying man being a monk of Malmsbury,
"in his youth." He lived to be impudent and jocose
on the subject, and attributed his failure entirely to
his having forgotten to wear a broad tail of feathers.
In 1742 the Marquis de Bacqueville announced that
he would fly with wings from the top of his own
house, on the Quai des Theatins, to the gardens
of the Tuileries. He actually accomplished half'
the distance, when, being exhausted with his efforts,
the wings no longer beat the air, and he came
down into the Seine, and would have escaped un-
hurt, but that he fell against one of the floating
machines of the Parisian laundresses, and thereby
fractured his leg. But the most successful of all these
instances of the extraordinary, however misapplied,
force of human energies and daring, was that of a
certain citizen of Bologna, in the thirteenth cen-
tury, who actually managed with some kind of wing
contrivance, to fly from the mountain of Bologna
to the river Reno without injury. " Wonderful !
admirable !" cried all the the citizens of Bologna.
" Stop a little," said the officers of the Holy Inquisi-
tion ; " this must be looked into." They sat in sacred
conclave. If the man had been killed, said they, or
even mutilated shockingly, our religious scruples
would have been satisfied ; but, as he has escaped un-
hurt, it is clear that he must be in league with the
devil. The poor " successful" man was therefore
condemned to he burnt alive, and the sentence of the
Holy Catholic Church was carried into Christian
execution.—Dickens's" Household Words."
