CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY

HARBOUR.
The works in connexion with the railway and grea,
harbour at Holyhead are actively progressing. The
blasting operations now being almost daily carried on
are probably the most extensive on record. These are
being carried on at a place called " The Mountain,"
about half a mile distant from Holyhead, where quarries
of schisters quartz exist, of the most extensive nature in
this country, and which, on being dislodged in large
boulders from the mountain, are draughted down on
trams upon three lines of rails by locomotives, and tilted
into some 50 feet of sea low water mark, to form the
break-water. The ordinary operations are carried on
by charges of 22,0001bs of gunpowder, fired by means
of galvanic batteries, the dislodging power et the ex-
plosive operation representing upwards of 30,000 tons
of material at a time, and which falls away, so to
speak, almost as imperceptibly and slowly as
though by the action of an earthquake. The
most extensive discharge hitherto successfully
attempted by the engineers, and Messrs. Rigby,
the contractors, has been one of 5,000 tons of gun-
powder, divided into three different mines, exploded by
the battery simultaneously, but which only dish-Aged
36,000 tons. To-day a grand dislodgement of 30,000
tons is to take place ; some of the stones dislodged from
the mountain aro twenty tons in weight. About one
million tons have already been deposited to form the
foreshore for the breakwater, and a total of from five to
six million tons it is calculated will be required. The
daily delivery into the sea is about 4,000 tons, and
there are from 1,200 to 1,500 men engaged on these and
the harbour works. The width of the deposit at the
base of the breakwater is to be 600 feet, and the proper
settlement of the work is ascertained by soundings car-
ried on by Mr. Rendel and his engineers. The break-
water is to enclose an area of 316 acres, three-quarters
of a mile long, in 64 fathom water, with a sea pier 2,000
feet long, at a cost of 700,0001. The foreshore, now
half-way, will extend 5,600 feet seaward. Upwards of
400 sail have sheltered under the breakwater in the
last few months, and when completed it will form the
largest harbour of refuge in the kingdom. The rail-
way company are building a large station and pier for
the traffic.

SUDDENs
heIdDEATH.
by M. Wakley, M.P.,
Yesterday an inquesta
was
at Marylebone Workhouse, on the body of William
Bailey, aged 36, late coachman in the service of Mr.
Venison, livery-stable keeper, Lodge-place, Lisson-
r
grove. It appeared from the evidence that on Wednes-
day night last deceased was engaged to drive a gentle-
man named Orme, residing at No. 16, Regent's Villas,
Avenue-road, St. John's-vvood, and a friend of his, Mr.
Tozer, of Park-road, in a -fly, to the Opera. On return-
ing to Mr. Orme's, about one o'clock in the morning,
both gentlemen went in, deceased being told to wait for
Mr. Tozer, whom in his way home he could put down at
his own door. About half-past one Police-constable Ber-
ridge, S 108, who was on duty, saw deceased walking up
and down by the side of the carriage; but on his again
visiting the spot, in less than half an hour, he
found him insensible in the arms of the gentleman
before named, who told him that on Mr. Tozer
leaving the house to get into the carriage, they found
deceased lying on the ground between the fore and hind
wheels with his head doubled under him on to his chest.
A medical gentleman was promptly in attendance, but
life was extinct. Mr. Gilham, the infirmary surgeon,
said that he had examined the body, and externally
there wore two slight bruises on the head as if from a
fall, but internally nothing which could give him the
most remote idea of the causo of death. The Coroner
remarked that several similar unaccountable deaths had
lately come under his notice. One a mechanic, in good
health, snoring rather loudly, his wife, afraid he would
awake the child, to arouse aim placed her hand under
his head, and that moment he was a corpse. In the pre-
sent case there was no accounting for death, nor the
position in which deceased was found. Verdict—" That
the deceased was found dead under a carriage, but how
he came there, and the cause of death, there was no
evidence to show."

THACKERAY.—Our readers will be glad to
learn that Edinburgh is likely to be honoured in the course
of the winter by a visit from the author of " Vanity Fair,,,
and that Mr. Thackeray is to re-deliver here some of those
lectures on the " Humorists of last Century," which attracted
so much admiration in London in the spring.—s„tsman.
DUNDEE TRADE REPORT.—FIax—AII kinds are
of slow sale, with prices the turn in favour of buyers.
Owing to recent numerous arrivals (38 within the week)
with flax cargoes, that article is now getting more plentiful,
and to save landing charges, &c., there are sellers from the
ships' side at ss. to 10s. per ton below our current rates, for
the respective marks. Tows and Codillas--A lack of animation
is felt for these articles, even though obtainable on somewhat
lower terms. Hemp and Hemp Codillas—There is very little
doing in either, and prices are without alteration. Jute—
This article continues of large consumption, and fine qualities
sell readily at full prices, while common qualities, owing to
their abundance, are of heavy. sale, at former lower rates.
Yarns and Linens—ln both articles a fair amount of business
is doing, though only at the same cheap prices as formerly.—
Dundee Courier.

had been effected. Now that the difficulties and disputes
beenl and a i mab l
which had so long subsisted between the Caledonian and
th ei r guaranteed

of the traffic will be effected by the immediate adoption of
a liberal and equitable table of rates. In the meantime mea-
sures have been taken for improving the revenue from other
sources. Since the last half-yearly meeting three vacancies
have occurred in the board of direction, and their places have
been supplied by the appointment of Mr. W. Buchanan, Mr.
W. Patterson, and Mr. J. G. Gilbert. A vacancy has like-
wise occurred in the office of auditor by the resignation of
Mr. W. Ross, and the directors recommend Mr. J. G. Mor-
rison for election in his room. The receipts for the half-year
ending the 31st of July amounted to 1,5. W. and the ex-
penses to 1,463/. The chairman moved the adoption of the
report, which, after some discussion, was agreed to. Resolu-
tions in conformity with the report wore adopted, after which
