TUE TELEGRAPH AT THE ROYAL MILITARY AST-
CHELSEA.-It having been found that the steeple
of the church, in course of erection by the Marquis of
Westminster, on his Pimlico estate, at the corner of the
fine new square recently formed, called Chester-square,
and Elizabeth-street, Pimlico, will be exactly in the line
of view between the telegraphs at the Admiralty and
the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea, which continues
to Wanstead-heath and Portsmouth, and will prevent
their working for the important purposes for which they
were erected, the authorities have given permission for
the telegraph to be removed from the Asylum to the
Royal Hospital, which will do away with the difficulty,
and answer the purpose equally well. The conditions
upon which the removal has been sanctioned by the Ad-
miralty are, that the Marquis is to be at the sole ex-
pense. $
of removing the telegraph and the extensive
machinery, and re-erecting the same in the appointed
.
position.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.
DARLINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—A special general
meeting of the shareholders of this railway was held this
afternoon in the offices of the Company in this town, for
the purpose of taking lito consideration the propriety
of authorising the Directors to make application to Par-
liament, in the ensuing iession, fur powers to contract a
branch line of railway am a point in their own line at
or near Cooper House, in the township of Dalton, to
Richmond, in the county of York.
S. 11. Witattisox, Esq., chairman of the Directors,
took the chair, and in opening the business of the day
said that the Sharehol.left present were all probably aware
that recently a meeting was held in Richmond, which was
very largely attended, tiih meeting having been held upon
the subject of extending the Great North of England
Railway to the town of. Richmond. At that meeting
the subject was fully discussed, and the line proposed
by this Company was :unanimously approved of. So
fully was the subject then discussed that it was
hardly necessary for him to go into detail as to the
merits of the proposed scheme now. He felt it was
a scheme which wouleultitnately prove of great advan-
tage to the proprietors at large. The resolution which he
had to propose fur the consideration of the meeting was—
" That it is expedient that this Company should under-
take the formation of a railway from a point in the new
line, near Cooper House, in the parish of Croft and
township of Dalton, to Richmond, in addition to the
Harrogate and Ripon Junction Railway, which, at a
special general meeting ,of this Company, held on the
15th ult., it was resolved should be undertaken; that
the Directors be, and they areliereby authorised to order
the necessary surveys and to take all proceedings that
they may consider desirable, with a view of applying to
Parliament next sessionfor an Act authorising the con-
struction of the above-Mentioned line of railway ; that
provision be made in the-Act of Parliament for the pay-
ment out of the additional capital (authorised at the last
special general meeting tti be raised by the issuing of new
shares) of interest at the:rate of five per cent. per annum,
to holders of such new ewes for the amount of their
subscriptions till the works be completed, after which
the new shares shall forin part of the capital stock of
this Company."
Mr. PLEws, a Directofrsaid he had one or two remarks
to make upon the present position of this Company and
railways in general. Ile would remind the Shareholders
that this Company had lately increased its capital to the
extent of 300,0001., and sooner or later the whole of that
money would have to be paid up. He did not think that any
Company had had more difficulties tocontend with since its
formation in 1836, than; the present one. In the year
1836 there was a mania-for railways, but compared to
the mania in that respect, which existed now, the one of
1836 was nothing. Soon after the formation of this
Great North of Englandgompany the shares went down
to a very large discount; and the Directors were com-
pelled to forfeit 3,500 shares, owing to persons who had
put their names down for shares having refused to go
on with them. These 1;500 Shareholders actually gave
up 20/. p.r share. Thii would show how common it
was, and especially at th present day, for persons to put
their names down for shares without considering how
they were ultimately topay for them. The difficulties
with which this company, in consequence of this for-
feiture, had to contend were very great. On one
occasion the Director i; amongst themselves had to
raise 70,000/. in the space of fourteen days, and if
they had not succeeded in raising that money in
time, out of their own resources, the railway
would have been stopped. These difficulties, however,
were now being overcome, and the line was one of the
nn ge
rdeosms
a. r y Hi t ew
ams efroerl
these remarks
prosperous
tou s
showin t the
wk i
personsy made
who put their names
con-
sider how they were ultimately to pay for them. The
difficulties that arose from this want of caution, he was
confident, would be very:severely felt by many Directors
in the new companies which had lately sprung up all
over the country. With respect to competing lines, he
had only to say, that instead of the public benefiting
by them, the public would be the parties to suffer. In
the case of two competing lines, a compromise was the
almost inevitable result, and then the fares which had for
a short time, perhaps, been reduced, would be largely
increased, and instead of one line, the public would have
to pay for the cost of two. By a late Act it was pro-
vided, that a railway company should not divide more
than ten per cent. profit. It would, therefore, be seen,
that the public would be the parties most to be benefited
by having but one line, .because every year that the re-
turns exceeded ten per cent. profit, a reduction in the
fares must take place. The public, therefore, actually
participated in the profits of the line. He merely threw
out these remarks to guard the public against being led
away by shadows.
The resolutions were then unanimously adopted, and
thanks having, amidst applause, been voted to the
chairman, the meeting separated.

SHEFFIELD AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.
MANCHESTER, MONDAY EvErinvo.--At one o'clock
this afternoon, a specialmeeting of the Shareholders in
the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne, and Manchester Rail-
way, was held at the Company's offices, in this town,
" for the purpose of considering the expediency of, and
if so determined upon, of authorising a lease to be granted
to the Midland Railwaj Company, and the Northern
and Birmingham Railway Company, of the line and
works of the Sheffield, :Ashton-under-Lyne, and Man-
chester Railway, with all the stations, tolls, emoluments,
and other property thereof, upon terms to be agreed to
at the meeting, or to be arranged by the Directors of this
Company, under powers to be deputed to them by such
meeting and for other special purposes. The lease to be
for a term of thirty years, determinable at the end of ten
or twenty years, upon the following terms, viz.:—the
lessees to pay all the interest to accrue on loans, also the
rents, rates, working expenses, and every other charge to
which the Company is liable, and to pay to the Sharehol -
ders 5 per cent per annum upon a share capital of 756,0001.,
and 7f per cent. on a share capital of 144,0001. When
the traffic amounts to 2,8001. per week, on the aver-
age of twelve months the dividend to be increaseda
half per cent. ; when • it amounts to 3,000/. per
week, one per cent., with an additional increase of a halt
per cent. for every 2504 per week, until it reaches ten
per cent. The share -and loan capital not to exceed
1,500,000/. The guarantees to the Barnsley and
Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railways to be adopted by
the lessees. The traffii of the Sheffield line to be
managed by a Committie, to be appointed by the three
Companies."
It having been publicly announced, both in Sheffield
and Manchester, that a counter proposition would be
submitted on behalf of the Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way Company, offering to lease the line on more favour-
able terms, the utmost interest was excited amongst the
Shareholders, and the result was perhaps one of the most
numerously attended railway meetings ever held, up.
wards of 200 gentlemen being present, a great portion
of whom had travelled from Sheffield and other distant
places purposely to attend the meeting.
The chair was taken a few minutes after one by
John Parker, Esq., M.P.,
Chairman of the Board of
Directors.

Mr. PLATFORD, the secretary, having read the adver
tisement convening the meeting, which was dated Oc.
tober 16th,

Mr. N. W. PARKER, of London, and Mr. ROBERTS, of
Chester, protested against the shortness of the notice,
and stated that they had only received their circulars
three or four days ago.
The CHAIRMAN said the notice for a special meeting
required by the Act was ten days, and the large attend-
ance proved that the notice had been sufficient. If any
gentleman thought otherwise, he had better move an
adjournment.
Mr. PARKER said he would do so, but the feeling of
the meeting being evidently against an adjournment, the
business was allowed to proceed.
The CHAIRMAN moved that the propositions of the
Midland and Manchester Companies be accepted.
Mr. ROBERTS, of Chester, supported the proposition
of the Leeds Company, principally on the ground of
their offering a greater per centage to the Shareholders
in this line, namely, 6 per cent.
Mr. C. P. YOUNG, of Sheffield, seconded the amend-
ment.

A prolonged discussion followed, during which seve-
ral gentlemen supported the original proposition ; some
spoke in favour of the amendment, and two advocated
the continuance of the Company on its present indepen-
dent footing.
At a few minutes before five the amendment was put
and negatived, only twenty-four hands being held up in
its favour, and nearly ten times that number against it.
The original motion vas then put and carried amidst
loud cheers, as was another, authorising the Directors
to apply to Parliament next session for the necessary
powers to carry out the arrangements. Thanks were
then voted to the Chairman and Directors, and the pro-
ceedings terminated.

--
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—We understand that nearly
500 shares have been taken by persons in Cardiff in this
undertaking. During 'last week some gentlemen con-
nected with the Great Western Railway have been en-
gaged surveying the neighbourhood of Monmouth, Usk,
&c., with a view of determining the best hne of road for
the South Wales Railway.
THE NEWPORT AND NANT-Y-GLO RAILWAY.—The
surveyors are also busily engaged in surveying this line
of road, when they intend next session to apply to Par-
liament for a Bill.

CAPTURE OF A SUEEP-STEALER.-011 Friday last
a man went to the shop of Mr. W. Rudge, candle manu-
facturer, at Pontnwyd, Newport. Monmouthshire, to sell
a quantity of mutton fat which he had in a wallet ; and
upon William Thayers, the foreman to Mr. nudge,
examining it, he perceived piece% of meat, when he began
to make inquiries, in answer to which the man said he
bought it, the sheep baying died of water on the brain.
This answer excited the foreman's suspicions, and he
sent for police-constable Roberts, who upon searching
the other end of the wallet found a sheep skin therein,
and several pieces of mutton, which appeared to have
been cut from the hind legs. The police constable took
the man to the station-house, and delivered him into the
custody of superintendent Roberts, who ascertained the
next morning that a sheep, the property of Mr. John
Edmonds, farmer, Panteque, had been slaughtered, and
about 51bs. of the hind legs taken away, leaving the rest
of the carcase in the wood adjoining the meadow where
the sheep was killed. The prisoner was brought up the
same day before the Revs. J. Prebert and David Jones,
when upon the application of superintendent Roberts he
was remanded until Monday, upon which day he was
brought before the same magistrates, and committed to
Usk for trial.
MILLERISM MAD.—Mr. Ducker, the lighterman, of
one of the largest houses in Brooklyn, on Saturday last
discharged all his workmen, declaring the world would
not last beyond the 21st inst., and probably not beyond
the 16th.—American paper. Millerism is at this time
making considerable stir in some parts of the States, and
late papers give numerous instances similar in spirit to
the above.—Liverpool Albion.

THE LORD MAYOR ELECT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—At the request of some of my friends, who think
that the public should be disabused of the false impres-
sions whiCh an article published in the Times, of the 30th
ult., was calculated to raise, respecting my motives for
not appearing as Lord Mayor Elect in the civic proces-
sion from Temple•bar, on the opening of the Royal Ex-
change, I must request you will allow me to avail my
self of your; columns to make the truth more generally
known.

I beg to state that in answer to an application from the
Town-clerk as to what duty I would prefer to undertake
on the 28th, I decided to form part of the out-door proces-
sion; when, on Wednesday, the 23d ult., the Lord Mayor
informed me privately that he apprehended the expression
of some unpleasant feeling towards me, which would
prove an annoyance to her Majesty, and he therefore urged
me to take duty in the Royal Exchange. I consented,
but on the following day. I was advertised in the public
journals as one of those intending to ride, and as, upon
inquiry, I did not believe the accuracy of the informa-
tion upon which the Lord Mayor had made his request,
I again expressed my intention of riding, and prepared
accordingly.
At one o'clock on Monday morning, 28th, the follow-
ing letterwas delivered to me from the Lord Mayor :
" Mansion-house, Oct. 27, 1844, Twelve o'Clock.
"My dear Lord Mayor Elect,—l regret exceedingly
that any circumstance should have intervened to prevent
the fulfilment of the intention you had formed on Wed-
nesday last of attending with your brethren in the Ex-
change instead of joining the procession at Temple-bar.
I trust, upon a full consideration of all the circumstances
of the case, you will permit the reasons by which you
were then influenced to induce you to abstain from taking
a place in the procession.
" As Chief Magistrate of this City, entertaining the
deepest anxiety that no circumstance should occur to
interrupt the harmony which ought universally to prevail
on this happy occasion, I deem it my duty to convey to
you a knowledge of the opinion which I have heard ex-
pressed in so many quarters, that you are likely to be the
object of a demonstration.of unpopular feeling, which the
consciousness on your part of its being undeserved can
form no justification for your unnecessarily placing your-
self in a situation to call it forth, particularly as your po-
sift, n in the procession so near to her Majesty would un-
avoidably make her acquainted with the existence of a
feeling but little in harmony with the sentiments the oc-
casion should inspire.
" If contrary to my wishes and expectation you should
consider it your duty to ride, I can only say that it shall
be my earnest endeavour to repress, by every means at
my command, the exhibition of any such demonstration
as I have described, and I feel it right to add I am satis-
fied that your intended compliance with my wishes on
Wednesday last was dictated by a reflection upon what
appeared due on the occasion, and not by any considera-
tions peril:mai to yourself.
" I am yours faithfully,
" MA(iNAY.",
I appeal, therefore, to the good feeling of the public to
judge whether I should not indeed have been wanting in
respect to the Chief Magistrate of the City, and in loyalty
to her Majesty, if I had indulged my own inclination
after the receipt of such a letter from the Lord Mayor.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
MICHAEL GIBBS, Lord Mayor Elect.
Walbrook, Nov. 4, 1844.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT SEA.—We deeply
regret to record the intelligence of the death at sea,
under peculiarly distressing circumstances, of one of
the most intrepid and highly-respected captains in the
American trade out of this port, Captain Simpson, of
the Llan Itemney, Quebec regular trader, which took
place on the 14th ult., as more fully stated in the fol-
lowing extract from the letter of Mr. Willoughby, the
mate, dated Dover, October 27, 1844, and addressed
to the owner :—" We have had nothing but heavy gales
of wind on the passage home, and, on the 14th October,
in lat. 48, N., and lon. 22 W., blowing a hurricane,
and sea running mountains high, the ship scudded
under close-reefed topsails ; at eight P.M. it was the
captain's watch oa deck, when a tremendous sea
pooped the ship, and carried away the stern and
jolly-boat, and everything on the quarter-deck, with
a quantity of provisions, and filled the cabin with
water. I rushed on deck, and found the ship in a
fearful state. The captain, cook, and boy were miss-
ing. I called all hands on deck to bring the ship to,
and employed the men in taking in the canvas. I then
found Captain Simpson and the cook lying on the
forecastle deck, with their heads cut and bruised in
a dreadful manner, and not able to speak ; all
possible speed was made to get them below in the
forecastle, and every attendance was paid, but it
was all in vain ; the cook died at nine P.M., and the
captain at ten P. 31. He died without a struggle.
The boy was found in the main-deck, desperately
bruised and insensible; he is still alive, but in a dan-
gerous state. The ship is not much worse."—From
other sources we understand that the Llan Rumney,
having_been struck by a heavy sea, Captain Simp-
son, the cook, and boy, had been struck by some
timber, probably part of the deck cargo. The
name of the cook is Grant Shield, of this town, and
that of the boy Tom. The remains of the lamented cap-
tain were brought ashore yesterday, on the arrival
of the Llan Rumney at this port.—Hull Advertiser of
Friday.
EXTRAORDINARY AND DISGRACEFUL OCCURRENCE.
—On Saturday afternoon, a woman residing near Watt-
street, Hawkhill, Dundee, having occasion for water,
went to a draw-well in the neighbourhood to procure a
supply. In dropping her pitcher into the well, the cord
broke, and the vessel fell to the bottom. Having pro-
cured the aid of some of her neighbours, they succeeded,
as they imagined, in fixing a hook to the pit-
cher, commenced hauling if up, but instead of a pitcher
filled with water, they were struck with horror on disco-
ver that they had brought up a coffin ; which, on being
examined, was found to contain the dead body of a new-
born child. The coffin with its contents was conveyed
to the office' and in consequence of the activity of the
officers, the following facts connected with this disgusting
affair were soon discovered. The might named Rollo,
who made the coffin, was traced out in the course of the
evening, and through him the father of the infant, an
individual " named Nicoll. It appears that the mother
was delivered of the child, which was still-born, at her
residence, Chapelshade, at a late hour on Friday night ;
and the father, being a member of a yearly society,
applied next morning for the customary allowance
for the funeral of a child, which was immediately paid
to him. He then bargained with a manufacturer of
cheap coffins at the Hawkhill, who not only agreed to
furnish it, but also kindly undertook to get the sexton
at Logie, with whom he said he was well acquainted, to
finish the interment cheaply—for a dram. The father,
the undertaker, and another individual called oa Satur-
day morning on a public-house-keeper in Small's Wynd,
in order to procure the means of paying the sexton ;
but it is scarcely necessary to say that he was never
called on to officiate. In the course of Sunday
the father was apprehended, but was liberated on Mon-
day, it having appeared that the undertaker and his
companion had left him in Small's Wynd, and gone, as
he conceived, to the churchyard of Logie, but in reality
to put the coffin with the dead body of the infant into
the well. After his liberation, the father had to carry
the coffin from the police-office to his residence, and
from thence to the burying-ground, being accompanied
by several officers to see that the funeral was completed.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE WHITECHAPEL WORK-
HOusE.—On Tuesday, Mr. Baker held an inquest at the
London Hospital, on the body of Mary Ann Baxter,
age f thirteen. Catherine Brennan, a nurse in the White-
chaperWorkbouse, of which deceased was an idiotic in-
mate, said that on the 2d ult. they were in the females'
yard, which is surrounded by a brick and mortar wall
fourteen feet high, on the top of which is an addition of
four feet, composed of bricks, having an opening of six
inches between each, to serve as a species of trap for
paupers endeavouring to escape. A strong wind on the
day mentioned blew down about twenty-five feet of the
upper wall, and some of the bricks fell upon the head of
deceased, inflicting a wound on the crown of the head.
She was placed under the care of Mr. Foster, the work-
house surgeon, and apparently recovered, but on Sunday
last died in a fit. Mr. Foster, the surgeon, was of opi-
nion that deceased died from effusion on the brain, the
result of the blow on the head. The Coroner and jury
having viewed the wall, did not think it safely constructed,
and the former undertook to write to the board of guar-
dians suggesting the proper remedy. Verdict, " Acci-
dental death."
AN INCIDENT OF TIIE MAIDSTONE PLOUGHING-
MATCIL—A short time before the Maidstone ploughing
match a young man who works for a small farmer in
this neighbourhood asked his master permission to try
his skill on the occasion. The master made several ob-
jections—particularly on the score of his team, which
was not the best matched in the world. However, the
man pressed his request, and at last obtained permission.
He accordingly went to the match and took his station
among the three-horse ploughs, amidst the jeers of the
lookers-on, who were very merry
.at the expense of his
team, asking him if he meant to win with two old horses
and a donkey—one of his steeds being very small, and
the leader a veteran nearly thirty years of age. Still,
nothing daunted, he persevered, and presently merriment
gave place to admiration. Notwithstanding all his draw-
backs he finished his work second, and gained the first
prise ! We may add that he was the youngest ploNgh-
' man in his class, though his horses were the oldest.—
Maidstone Journal.
APPEALS AGAINST THE DECISIONS OF REVISING
BARRISTERS UNDER THE REGISTRATION OF \TOMES
ACT.—Up to Tuesday night twenty-seven appeals to the
Court of Common Pleas against the decisions of revising
barristers, under the Bth Vie., c. 18, a. 62, had been en-
tered for argument. There would have been a muoh
larger number, but, in many instances, the same points
arising, they have been consolidated. The principal por-
tion of the appeals relate to decisions given upon the
question of lodgers' qualifications. After this day (Wed-
nesday) no further appeals can be entered, as the Act re-
quires it should be done within the first four days of the
term next after the decision. Thecasesset down are from
the City of London 4, Westminster 2, Bristol 2, Cam-
bridge 2, Taunton 1, north division of Northampton 2,
borough of Northampton 2, Tewkesbury 1, South Lan-
cashire 3, Totnes 2, West Riding of Yorkshire 2, Bury 1,
Lichfield 2, and Westbury 1.
LoNGiviTr.—Three persons died in Stromness
within the last fortnight, whose united ages were 277
years—being, respectively, 94, 92, and 91 years—pre-.
served their faculties to the last, although—what seems
very wohderful—the eldest had been deprived of sight
and hearing for some time before, but had them restored
in a great measure lately. Another person died a week
before, in the same small town, aged 80. There is a
woman living in Evie a hundred years old, said to be the
"oldest inhabitant in Orkney. She, however, is not the
person alluded to often under that designation, as she is in
her second childhood, and remembers little or nothing,
and cannot be taken as a general reference.—AG
