THE QUEEN—When the stone which was
thrown at the KING fell in the R,.yal Stand, her MAJESTY
immediately picked it up, and said, with great feeling and
agitation, " This was intended for me; I am the unpo-
pular person ; but I know not why."
The massive gold box, intended to contain
the freedom of the City, to be presented to Lord ALTHORT
at the proposed celebration of the passing of the Reform
Bill, has the arms of the City splendidly chased on the
lid, and those of his Lordship on the bottom ; both are
surrounded by an elegant border, chased in_gold of dif-
ferent colours, in which the rose, thistle, and shamrock,
are beautifully and tastefully interwoven. The interior
of the lid displays an inscription, containing the resolutions
of the Common Council, expressing their admiration of
his Lordship's conduct during the tedious and harassing
progress of the Belo, m Bi 1 through the House of Com-
mons, and the sides of the box exhibit, in rich chasing,
the cap of maintenance and other civic emblems, mingled
with scroll work.

GOVERNOR GENERALSHIP OF INDIA.-
(From the India Gazette of January last.)—We are
enabled to Etat-, on very good private authority, that the
,ppointment of the Earl of MUNSTER to the Governor-
Generalship of India may be regarded as certain. Previous
accounts from England stated positively, as a fact, the
offer of that high office to that Nobleman, and his reins it
of it, on the ground of his Royal father's age and preca-
rious state of health, and his reluctance to be absent from
Isis MAJESTY in these precarious times. Our readers will
attach to these considerations the value they may deserve ;
but if our information is correct, and we have the strongest
reason to believe that it is, further r, flection must have
suggested other considerations of paramount influence.
Letters, we know, have been received from England in a
highly respectable iiu irter in this country, stating that one
of the friends of the writer had applied to Lord MUNSTER
for the Military Secretaryship, hut was told that an offi-
cer had been already appointed to that office. It is very
unlikely that his Lordship would expose himself to the
idicule of appointing any One to that office before he was
himself certain of the office to which it is auxiliary and
subordinate, and had determined to accept the offer of it.

The continued success of the Liverpool and Manchester
railway decisively proves, that railways with loco-motive
trt am engines furnish a mode of internal communication
superior to all others in safety, expedition and economy.
In safety—as since the opening of that railway in Sep-
teniber, 1830, upwards of 700,000 persons have been
conveted along it without a single serious accident which
could be fairly ascribed to this mode of conveyance.
In expedition—as the ordinary rate of travelling upon
it is 20 miles an hour, and frequently mole.
In economy—as the charge for passenger sin the first class
of carriages is less than half of what was formerly paid in
the stage coaches, and the charge for merchandise only
two-thirds of what was formerly paid to the canals.
A line from Liverpool and Manchester Riilway at
Newton, to London, by way of Birmingham, will unite
the two great seaports of the kingdom.
It will connect them with all the principal manufactur-
ing districts, viz :—the iron manufactories and potteries
of Staffordshire, the cotton and silk manufactories of
Cheshire, Lancashire, and Derbyshire, the woollen manu-
factories of the West Riding of Yorkshire.
It will connect the metropolis with the great provincial
towns of Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Liverpool,
and consequently with Dublin, Belfast, ants Glasgow.
It will aff,rd improved means of intercourse, for all
purposes of private or public business, for at least
5,000,000 of people.
There is no other line in the kingdom on which both
public and private interests so imperatively require the
establishment of the best possible mode of communication.

The proposed railway from London to Birmingham forms
part of this gnat nationil line.

- Its length will be 1121 miles ; the inclinations will in
no case exceed 16 feet in any one mite, or one in 330.
The cost will be 2,500,0001., and the sufficiency of this
estimate has en ascertained by the Committee of the
House of Commons, upon the testimony of Mr. Robert
S'ephenson, suppiirted by two other eminent engineers.
The Railway will probably not be used to convey coals,
line, and other heavy articles which compose the chief
traffic of canals ; and will therefore very little, if at all,
interfere with the interest of canal proprietors; but the
returns for passengers, light merchandise, agricultura
produce, &c will be such as to insure, at low railway!
prices, an income of above 700,0001. per annum ; so that
should the annual expenses amount even to half the in-
come, there will still be ample remuneration to the sub.
scribers.

Ic has been said, and with truth, that the cost of the
Liverpool and Manchester railway greatly exceeded the
estimate; yet that railway is now paying nime per cent.
per annum on the whole expenditure. The calculations of
the London and Birmingham railway have been founded,
not on the estimates, but the actual cost of that and other
railways.

There can be no question that all the great interests of
the kingdom must be promoted by any improvement in
the means of internal cotnniunication. This has been
abundantly proved by the effect of our turnpike roads and
canals, and all the benefits they have effected will be pro-
duced in a much higher degree by the mote powerful and
more perfect machinery of the railway.
The reduction of time and expense, in travelling and in
the conveyance of merchandise, mu•t immediately be felt
as highly beneficial to the mercantile and manufacturing
interests.

By Irish families visiting London, and especially by the
Irish Members of both Houses of Parliament, the facility
which this railway, when completed to Liverpool, will
afford of passing from Dublin to London in about 24 hours,
cannot fail to be generally appreciated.
The same advantages, in a degree proportionate to the
distance from London, will be afforded to English families
similarly circu►nstanced.
The Landed Interest will be benefited—

Firstly—By the grertly increased facility of conveying
produce to the principal markets of the kingdom. Ve-
getables, butchers' meat, &e., may be sent from North.
ampton in three or tour hours to the London or Stafford-
shire mat kets.

Secondly—By the expenditure of upwards of two mil-
lions of the capital of the Company on labour.
Thirdly—By the constant employment of from 1,000 to
2 000 persons on the railway, when completed.
Fourthly—By the parochial rates paid by it throughout
the whole line.

Fifthly—By the enhanced value of every estate on or
near to it.

The engines will burn only coke and cause no smoke;
the carriages going at the rate of a mile in three minutes
will remain only a part of that time in sight or hearing
from any one place.

The railway does not intersect any park or pleasure
ground, or approach so near as to be an annoyance to any
considerable mansion.

By order, RICHARD CREED.
C. R. MOORSOM.

The London and Birmingham Railway Bill has now
passed the House of Commons in a mariner which clearly
indicates the feeling entertained of its great importance to
the public. _ .

The second reading took place on the 28th of February,
on which occasion the opponents thought fit to divide,
when the numbers were—For the second reading, 125;
against, 46—Majority, 79.
The 8111 has since been most carefully examined and
discussed, in all its details, by a Committee which sat a‘si-
duously and patiently twenty-one days.
The smallest number of Members present, on any one
day, was 16; the largest number was 38 ; but the average
of the whole number of days was 28.
The Committee closed its labours by declaring the pre-
amble proved, and testimony has since been borne by some
of the opponents of the measure, possessing great Parlia.
mentary experience, to the invariable feeling of lupin-
tiality exhibited throughout the investigation.
On bringing up the Report a motion was made by the
opponents for a Committee of Appeal, and it was also pro.
posed to insert some objectionable clauses, but the sense of
the House being against both these propositions, they were
withdrawn, and the Report was adopted without any di-
vision in a House of 200 Members.
