hended no less than 72,1.124 persons, on different charges—

CORONER'S INQUEST.-MILBANK PENI-
TENTI V.—Yesterday afternoon an inquisition was taken be-
fore Mr. Higgs, at the Milbank Penitentiary, on the body of
Elizabeth Grey, aged 21, a convict confined in the above insti-
tution, who died on Sunday morning from the cholera morbus.
Mr. Ellerby Ilexon, of No. 20, Stockbridge-terrace, 'Vauxhall-
road, surgeon, attended the deceased from 10 o'clock at night
until four o'clock in the morning, when she died ; every thing
possible was done for her, and he was decidedly of opinion that
she died of the cholera morbus. In answer to several questions
by the Jury, Mr. Wade, surgeon to the Penitentiary, said that he
did not at all conceive the disease to be contagious. The cases
that had occurred in the prison had all broke out in different parts
where there was no communication from one place to the other.
The ktry expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict
of—" Died by the visitation of God."

SERIOUS ACCIDENTS NEAR ST. .JAMES'S
PALACE.—Yesterday morning, as a large concourse of people
were coming out of the Palace-yard, where the band had been
playing, a bull, in a most infuriate state, which had broke out
irony a butcher's in Covent-garden, came galloping down Pall-
mall. The mob could not get out of the way of the animal,
and an indescribable scene of confusion ensued. The bull
rushed amongst the crowd, and tossed several persons. One
Many persons were gored, and
d trampled on by the crowd. The

ANNUAL NILEMFPG of the LIVERPOOL and
MANCHESTER RAILWAY COMPANY.

(From the Liverpool Chronicle.)

On Wednesday last the general annual meeting
of the subscribers to this undertaking was to have
been held at the Clarendon rooms, and, notwith-
standing the public notice given that it was intended
to propose an adjournment, on account of the recent
death of Thomas Booth, tsq. the father of Mr.
Ilemy Booth, the treasurer, the attendance wit:
numerous. After a considerable discussion as to the
propriety of the proposed adjournment on the
groun:ta stated, which was objected to by several of
' (he subscribers, and particularly by one gentleman,
who seated that he had come from Kendal for the
purpose of attending, the meeting was adjourned till
Fra
The meeting was accordingly held yesterday, at
one o'clock, at which time there Was a very flume&
rous attendance of the subscribers. The chair was
taken by Charles Lawrence, Esq. Immediately on
taking the chair, Mr. Lawrence stated that he had
received an application from a gentleman connected
with the press, requesting permission to attend for
the purpose of reporting the proceedings. Some
discussion, we believe, took place GII this subject
but we were fit length given to understand that the
meeting was intended to be private. We are there-
fore, in common with the conductors of other
newspapers, prevented from giving a detailed account
'of the proceedings. At the conclusion of the meet-
ing we applied for permission to publish an abstract
of the report; but this, after some cons.deration,
was also withheld. We are enabled, however,
from another source, to lay before our readers the
following abridged but accurate outline of what
took place—
Mr. HENRY BOOTH, the treasurer and secretary
of the Railway, read a very long and able report of
the proceedings of the company since the com-
mencement of the concern to the present time. Its
general martagement and its system of superin-
tendence, in all its various departments, were ex-
plained; by which it appeared that the organization
was so complete, and every essential point so well
arranged, that the directors, whose vigilance and
attention are so highly deserving of eulogiurn, have
all the details of this great undertaking almost daily
presented to their view. ►he Bill f r the New Tun-
Bel, now before Parliament, was expected to pass
without opposition. The company have deemed it
neces-ary to alter their plan of conveying passengers
by omnibuses from their office in Dale-street, to
the station in Crown-street. After the sth of April,
they cease to use them ; but it is in progress of ar-
rangement for omnibuses to start from inns and
hotels in different parts of the town on very mode-
rate terms, so as to arrive at the regular station at
the usual periods. The company are also making
arrangements for conveying passengers to and from
Manchester every day oftener than at present.—
There will be no alteration in the plan of carrying
parcels. In lieu of a general annual meeting of the
proprietors, as at present established, there will be
two half-yearly meetings, in January and July, every
year, the dividends to be paid in February and
August. The profits of the Railway, from the
opening, September IS,

During the meeting several gentlemen addressed
the chair, amongst whom were Mr. Isaac Crewdson,
of Manchester; Mr. Wilson, of Kendal ; Captain
Moorsom, of the 52d Regiment ; Mr. W. W.
Currie, Mr. J. Sanders, Mr. James Brown, Mr.
David Hodgson, and Mr. Earle. After the business
was finished, an election by ballot took place for four
Directors, in lieu of four who were to be replaced or
re-elected.

The Directors, whose term of service expired to-
day were Mr. Charles Lawrence, Mr. Hardman
Earle, Mr. James Brown, and Mr. James Cropper.
This last-named gentleman having resigned, Messrs.
Llwrence at:d Earle were re-Plected, and in place
of Mr. James Brown and Mr. James Cropper, Mr.
John Cropper and Mr. Thomas Sands were chosen.
