rately furnished.
" The foregoing directions must be strictly observed in all

Witness said that to the paper just exhibited were affixed
several signatures, with various sums opposite, purporting
to be contributions. Believing the paper and the signatures
to be genuine, he gave the prisoner, he believed, half-a-
sovereign, and put his name down on the paper as a con-
tributor.
Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society,
stated that the female was the most determined and inde-
fatigable impostor in the metropolis. The moment she
served her term of imprisonment in one case, she began at
the old work with increased skill and activity. Since the year
1836 she had been charged at various police-offices, and been
imprisoned in several gaols.
Mr. Richard Ferguson, clerk to the Mendicity Society,
stated that he had searched at the proper offices, and found
that no such person as John Wilson was tried in April ses-
sion, 1841, for embezzlement. lle had also searched the
list of convicts fur the Asia and found that there was no
such person in that list. Witness knew that the prisoners
had lived together as man and wife, and also was present
when they were sent to prison together as common im-
postors.
The female prisoner said that she did not recollect having
called upon Mr. Curling, and that she believed the gentleman
must be mistaken as to her.
Mr. Curling said he had not the slightest doubt of her
identity.
The LORD MAYOR then stated that he should to-morrow
(this day) commit the woman for•trial at the Central Crimi-
nal Court, and his Lordship at once sentenced the male
prisoner to Bridewell for three calendar months.
GUILDHALL.

On Wednesday Mr. Barrett, a solicitor in Doctors'-commons,
appeared before Alderman Musgrove, for a summons against
a sharebroker, named Goldzier, under the following circum-
stances :—His client, during die railway mania, searing so
many people were making money, went to the broker and
asked if anything could be done in the way of {speculation,
confining his risk to 20/. or thereabout. The broker assured
him of the practicability of the thing, and with 20/. made a
purchase of some shares, which were speedily sold at 10s.
premium. By this he was lured into adventuring more
money, and 901. was altogether advanced.
Alderman MUSGROVE said he could not issue a summons
to bring parties before him merely to arbitrate disputed
stock-jobbing accounts. To give him jurisdiction there must
be criminal conduct; there must be a using of false pretences.
Mr. Barrett thought he could show the case was just of
that description. The false pretence used in this case was,
that after the first 201. had been laid out, the broker asked
him to advance a further sum of 251., promising that the 451.
would be placed in cash at his disposal next week, besides the
profits which would result from a prudent investment for that
short time. This was a false pretence, for the money was
never repaid and no profit resulted. On the contrary, his
client was beguiled into advancing more money, and the
broker, instead of keeping to his instructions to limit his
client's risk to 301. or 40/., entered into transactions to the
amount of 400/.; and now presented a bill showing a loss of
1101., which his client was called upon to pay, in addition to
the 90/. already lost.
Alderman MUSGROVE said the charge of obtaining by false
pretences could not be made as to representations that pro-
fits would accrue and purchases would be made. The false
pretences must be, not as to a future but an existing fact.
The broker might himself be deceived as to what would hap-
pen. If it could be shown that the money had not been laid
out in such shares, it would be another thing.
Mr. Barrett said he had no opportunity of going through
the account step by step. The account did not set forth
from whom the shares were bought, or to whom they were
sold. His client had no shares delivered to him.
Alderman MUSGROVE asked if his client directed what kind
and what number of shares should be bought ?
Mr. Barrett said no. It was left to the skill of the broker.
Alderman MUSGROVE said the money was given to the
broker to speculate, and the venture had been unfortunate.
He saw nothing that criminated the broker, and a magis-
trate could not be appealed to with the view of obtaining
more specific accounts, and the exhibition of vouchers and
books.
Mr. Barrett said the broker had exceeded his authority,
and had induced his client to part with 901. on worthless
things. He would look more closely into the case, and per-
haps trouble the magistrate again.
Mr. Barrett and his client then retired.

HAMMERSMITH.

MATRDIONIAL kISERIES —Yesteiciay, a than named James
Hards was charged, before Mr. T. Paynter, with aggduitthg
Mrs. Mary Herds, his wife.
Mrs. Herds, who appeared with one eye blackened, a large
patch on her cheek, and her arms bared to the elbows to
show the bruises on them, stated, that on Saturday last she
went to the place where her husband was employed to ask
him whot time he would be home to supper. He told her
half-past ten o'clock; and as she returned home she took
with her half-a-pound of rump steak for his supper, and half
a-pound of sausages for her own supper. Just as the supper
was cooked the defendant came in, and she anticipated a com-
fortable meal, but on his looking into the frying-pan, he ex-
claimed " D—n you, where is the gravy ?" She asked him what
gravy he could expect out of half-a-pound of steak, upon
which he demanded the onions, and on her quietly telling
him that she had brought none home with her, he instantly
seized the handle of the frying-pan, and spreading the con-
tents over the room, commenced attacking her with the pan,
beating it about her head, and causing the injuries above de-
scribed, the bruises on her arms being caused by her endea-
vours to save her head. Fortunately she succeeded in open-
ing the door of the room, and getting out of the house.
While the defendant was beating her, he threatened that he
would send a bushel of bullets through her body, and taking
up a knife, said he would drive it through her body up to her
shoulder, and that he would tear her heart and liver out and
twist them round his neck. He was always ill-treating her,
and she would never live with him again.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, began to recount
his wife's qualities. They might, he said, live very com-
fortably together, but she was continually getting drunk and
pawning his clothes.
Mr. PAINTER said the defendant had been guilty of a
most brutal assault, for which he should fine him 40s. and
costs, or a month's imprisonment; and as his wife had sworn
she went in danger of her life, he must also find two sureties
in 101. each, to keep the peace for three months after his
liberation.
The defendant, not having the money, was committed.

THE CLEANSING THE STREETS

OF THE CITY.

COMMISSIONERS
GUI LD OF SHALL.EERS' OFFICE,
W

On Tuesday a numerous deputation from the Association
for the Promotion of Improved Paving, Cleansing, and
Drainage, established in March, 1842, at the head of which
was the President, Mr. Charles Cochrane, waited upon the
Commissioners of Sewers, at Guildhall, upon the subject of
the following letter, directed to the Commissioner by the Se-
cretary to the Association :
" 20, Vere-street, Nov. 17, 1845.

" To the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of London.
"Gentlemen,—l am instructed by the President, Vice-
President, and Council of this Association, most respectfully
to submit the following proposal to your consideration :—That
you will be pleased to permit this Association to demon-
strate, at their own expense, for a period of two months, to
what state of perfection the streets may be kept clean, by
the employment of a given number of men throughout the
day, in the undermentioned places :—The area surrounding
the Royal Exchange, to the extent of from 50 to 60 feet;
Threadneedle-street and Throgmorton-street, Finch-lane,
Tokenhouse-yard, King-street, Guildhall, Gresham-street
(late Cateaton-street), and 200 yards along Moorgate-street,
giving employment, it is supposed, to about 30 men. lam
particularly instructed to observe that it is the furthest from
the wishes of the Association to interfere with, or affect in the
slightest degree ;the interests of the scavenging contractors ;
so far from it, they will consent to convey the manure and
other dirt collected during the (lay to such deposits as may
be pointed out by the contractors.
" The deep interest, Gentlemen, which you take in the
promotion of clean public thoroughfares—the readiness with
which you raised the street-cleansing contracts this year
from 4,500/. to 9,oool.—the good results which have attended
on this increased outlay, making the streets of London
cleaner than' all others in the metropolis, while the sanatory
condition must be greatly improved—the grand efforts made
by the generous citizens of London to supply, by means of
voluntary subscriptions, baths and wash-houses to the poorer
classes, in order to encourage habits of cleanliness amongst
them—and, finally, the undisputed fact that, by the main-
tenance of thkcleanliness recpmmended by the Association
in the public sevects, permandt employment can be given to
many thousands• of the deserving poor in the United King-
dom, so much to be desired during the inclement winter
months; all these tbings induce the Council of the Associa-
tion to hope that the Commissioners will readily accede to
their present request, as they are convinced that the example
of clean streets, which they are so anxious to be displayed
under the auspices of the, municipality of London, will be
speedily imitated in every town and borough throughout the
United Kingdom.—l have the honour to be,,Gentlemen, with
the greatest respect, your obedient humble servant,
" .J. M. DAVI ES, Secretary and Surveyor."
Mr. COCHRANE and the other gentlemen of the deputation,
after having urged the necessity of complying with the
request contained in the communication, stated that the good
effects of adopting a general plan consonant with the views
expressed in it, would be of the highest description, and that
the Association entertained not the most remote doubt that
the citizens of London would, after the experiment, join with
unanimity in commendation of the principle, and the mode of
accomplishing it.
Mr. PEACOCK. (the Chairman of the Commissioners, of
whom about thirty had assembled) said the necessity for
watching over the public health was increasing daily, and
the commissioners of the City sewers were rejoiced to observe
how zealously and diligently their neighbours were exerting
themselves to prevent the consequences naturally arising from a
densely-populated neighbourh9od. The Commissoners of
Sewers for the Cit, had, in the spirit of the resolution to do
all they could for the public health, determined to compel
the contractors to fulfil their contracts to the letter in
cleansing the streets, and had on that morning fined three of
them for neglect of duty. They felt great interest in the pro-
posal of the Association, approved of the experiment, and
most heartily concurred in allowing it to be made for the
term specified, with the consent of the contractors for the
time being. It would (Mr. Peacock added) be desirable that
the experiment should be made in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the Royal Exchange, in the Poultry, and in King-
street, Cheapside.
Some of the Commissioners said they hoped for the assist-
ance of the'press on this occasion.
Mr. PEAOcain said ho was sure of the support of the
press, judging from what had been done by.. that power
when its influence was much inferior to that by which it was
at present distinguished. The Commissioners of Sewers
were, he informed the deputation, engaged in endeavouring
to bring some fire-escapes of a new construction, and ap-
parently calculated to be very efficacious, into use in the
City of London.

THE ST. KATHARINE'S WHARF.

The alterations and extension of the wharf on the west-
side of the entrance to St. Katharine's Docks, and between it
and the irongate wharves adjoining the East Tower-stairs,
known as the St. Katharine's Steam Packet Wharf, which
had become absolutely necessary in consequence of the great
increase and extent of traffic now carried on there, not only
with respect to vessels trading to and from the n6r.t.11-
eastern coasts of England and Scotland, but also the
Dutch, Belgian, and French ports, are now completed.
The facilities, therefore, now afforded there for the land-
ing and housing, for the short period only that
house-room is required for such articles, in conse-
quence of their necessarily quick delivery, of foreign
cattle and provisions of various descriptions, and also the im-
mense importations of fruit, which, if the great increase du-
ring the past season may be taken as a criterion, will next
year be of a still more extensive nature, besides the large
quantities of cattle, meat, and edibles of every kind brought
by the steamers from the Scotch ports, are beyond compari-
son superior to any place on the banks of the river devoted to
similar purposes. Over this extensive warehouse or shed,
of whatever it may be termed, which is on the ground floor,
and opening front the river quay, has been constructed a
room of very large dimensions, exceeding one hundred feet
in length and proportionally wide, lighted with gas, and
having a counter along the entire length of the place for
the examination and delivery of the baggage and passengers
arriving by the foreign packets, and where, on an emer-
gency, or the arrival of two or three, or even more vessels, at
the same time, four or even six landing waiters of the re-
Venue, with their proper complement of subordinates, can
be conveniently employed, and thus afford unequalled dis-
patch to tho public in a matter of so much interest and
importance to them. This is a vast improvement on the
former place, in which one officer only could be accommo-
dated, frequently to the great delay and consequent incon-
venience of the public. The baggage, on being landed, will
be hoisted through a trap into this new floor, in the pre-
sence of the officers, and in the most complete and satisfac-
tory manner. Great facility and safety are also afforded for
thb landing of private carriages, and other baggage of bulk
and value belonging to families returning home from
abroad. In erecting this place the comforts of the
public have not been lost sight of, for, instead of
being obliged to sit in a mere cage, subject to the cold
and draughts, waiting perhaps an hour or more their turn
to be called—which, to say the least of it, was particularly
disagreeable, especially to the ladies, after' a long sea voyage,
and where the ingress to the examination place and egress
also was at the same door—a separate staircase has been
erected at the east end of the wharf, leading to a nice com-
fortable apartment with a fire, and the walls hung with
prints of various kinds, and information respecting foreign
and English places of accommodation for the amusement
and use of the passengers, while they are awaiting their
turn to be dispatched to their destination, and other com-
forts also of great consideration to both sexes have been duly
considered and provided. A door opens from this apartment
into the official compartment, and when the baggage of the
parties is examined and delivered to them, they are con.
ducted from the opposite end to anotherdoor, leading through
the original examination place out of the building, thus
avoiding all crowding or confusion. It may be remarked,
also, that through an opening here into the street the lug-
gage can, if required, be again hoisted without damage into
any conveyance which may bp in waiting for its reception.
Altogether, the improvements and alterations at this wharf
cannot fail to prove most satisfactory to the public generally

GREAT PEDnTRIAN MATO:T.—Yesterday the long

NOVEL HoAx.—Yesterday morning the following
trick was resorted to by a man named John Foster, a baker,
residing in the Gray'slnn-road :—His wife had been com-
pelled to separate from him in consequence of his drunken
habits, and having heard that she had lately acquired some
money and furniture by the death of an uncle, he tried every
expedient to prevail upon her to return to him, but without
effect. Yesterday morning, as a last resource to procure an
interview, he caused a message to be conveyed to her, in-
forming her that he was dead; and, with the assistance of
some friends, he laid himself out as if dead, covering himself
over with a sheet. The supposed widow was not, long before
she arrived, and upon removing the sheet to have a last look
at the departed, she found herself clasped in the arms of a
living husband. Mutual explanations ensued, and there is
every prospect of a happy reconciliation,!

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCI.
MAN WALES MINERAL RAILWAY COMPANY.

CHESTER, MONiikijll'Eo;eLoCK7-:-.iiolleO'CloCk this
afternoon a special meeting of the proprietors in the North
Wales Mineral Railway Company was held at the offices of
the tesfiestany, in this city, for the purpose of tais irate con-
sideration a peopossi for amalgamating the said company
with the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Juncticn Rail-
way Company, and in case of such proposal-being assented
to, of adopting such measures in relation thereto as may be
necessary and expedient.
Mr. Wm. Wardell, banker of this city, chairman of the
company, presided.
The advertisemetit convening the meeting having been
read,
The CHAIRMAN then addressed the proprietors. He said
they had met to take into consideration a proposition of
greater importance to the interests of this company than any
matter brought before them since they had been incorpo-
rated. The close connexion which subsisted between the
North Wales Mineral and the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and
Chester Junction Railway was such, that it behoved each,
for their mutual interest, to unite in working the two lines
in the most harmonious and profitable manner. The greater
portion of the traffic, he presumed, would be through
traffic in connexion with both railways. It was, there-
fore, their interest to consider the two companies as
man and wife, having one common purse, and one common
object. What possible benefit or good could arise from
having two separate and distinct committees, separate staffs
of officers, separate establishments for engines and carriages,
and the making and repairing of them, and to keep books of
accounts against each other for every sixpenny parcel that
might be brought over one line for the other? It must,
therefore, be evident to every one connected with these lines
that it was their common interest to unite, and make one
concern, or, in the ordinary phrase of the day, to become
amalgamated.—(Hear, hear.) The advantage was so clear
that he need not put it in any other shape; and the only
point for their consideration to-day was the terms upon
which the amalgamation was proposed to be carried into
effect. They had been the subject of mature deliberation on
the part of both the committees, as well as private conversa-
tion, sounding each individual member of the committees,
and other influential holders of stock; and at the recent con-
ference of the two committees, after very long, calm, and
dispassionate discussion, which lasted for many hours, the
terms were adjusted, he was happy to say, to the satisfaction
of every individual who attended the meeting. Every indi-
vidual member of both committees who attended that con-
ference was satisfied they were coming to a wise determina-
tion in recommending jointly to the proprietors in both com-
panies the terms of amalgamation which would now be read.
Mr. KELSALL, the law clerk, then read the terms of the
amalgamation, and the following resolutions were founded
anon them :
"That the Company be amalgamated with the Shrewsbury,
Oswestry, and Chester Junction Railway Company, upon the
terms agreed to at a joint meeting of the directors of both
companies, held at Chester on the 28th of October, as follows :
"That the 201. shares of the North Wales Mineral Railway
Company, when paid up, shall be held as 26/. 13s. 4d. off'
paid up stock of the amalgamated company; and the 101.
shares of the North Wales Mineral Railway Company; when
paid up, shall be held as 13.65. Bd. of the stock of the amal-
gamated company, and shall draw dividends accordingly.
And that the 201. shares of the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and
Chester Junction Railway Company, when paid up, shall be
held only as 20/. of the stock of the amalgamated company.
"That the North Wales Mineral Railway Company shall
be entitled to receive the whole of the proceeds and dividends
derived from their own lines, until the Shrewsbury, Oswestry,
and Chester Junction Railway shall be opened throughout.
" That the capital required for constructing the branch
lines to be brought before the ensuing session of Parliament,
shall be issued to the shareholders of both companies, as an
amalgamated stock, in the proportions of one 101. share for
every 20/, share in the North Wales Mineral, and in the
Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction Railways, re-
spectively ; and one 10/. share for every two 101. shares held
in the North Wales Mineral Railway.
"That the Directors be empowed to take the necessary
steps to carry out the foregoing resolutions."
The CHAIRMAN said, before he proposed these resolutions,
he would make one or two observations, to show the prin-
ciple upon which the Directors had arrived at these terms.
They had taken an account of the • expense of making one
railway, and, as far as they could, of the proportion of traffic
upon each line. They had certainly come to the conclusion
that there would be a material increase of traffic upon the
Mineral Railway over that of the Shrewsbury, Oswestry,
and Chester Junction. This they were decided upon, and
consequently the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester
Junction Railway could not be put upon precisely equal terms
with their line, which would cost something more per mile
in making, and the traffic not be equal. The exact propor-
tion would be as four. to three. If there were 71. to divide
the Mineral would take 4/., and the Oswestry 3/. Sup-
pose there were 14/. to divide, the Mineral might realise
81. and the Oswestry 61., which was the same proportion,
only the figures were doubled. Suppose the Mineral
were guaranteed eight per cent., and in that case the
Shrewsbury might make eight per cent.: then the divi-
dend could not advance above eight per cent. Should ten
per cent. be made the position of the Company would be
this, that while it was receiving only eight per cent. the
other and weaker partner would be receiving ten per cent.
Again, supposing six per cent. were guaranteed as a fixed
sum to the Oswestry ; it might not realise that ; but you
presented, at all events, the possibility of its receivieee more,
however prosperous the joint lines might be. A precisely
parallel case had happened within the last few days, viz., the
Great Western and the Bristol and Exeter Companies. The
Great Western divided eight per cent, and the profits of the
Bristol and Exeter were estimated at six per cent.—pre-
cisely the samefigures he submitted to the present meeting ;
but in that case the proposal was, that the Bristol and Exeter
should not at any time receive more than six per cent. The
Shareholders, liowever, contended that ultimately the line
would pay eight per cent., and they renounced the agree-
ment made for them by the Directors, and justly so. Now
they (the Directors of the North Wales Mineral) proposed
the same proportion of eight to six, and upon that basis to
become amalgamated. If the profits were larger, then
the Oswestry would receive their proportion as six to
eight ; if they were less than was anticipated, they must
submit to an equal reduction with the Mineral. The sub-
ject, therefore, was_ brought before the Proprietors on a prin-
ciple to which he thought they could hardly object, because,
whatever prosperity might attend one would also apper-
tain to the other, and they would move on in pari pass:
in profit and loss. That there would be great economy in
this there could be no doubt; nor could there be eny doubt
that the advantages would be more. More comfort and pre-
cision in the management must necessarily follow from the
union. The advantages, therefore, he thought, were wholie•
in favour of the amalgamation. With these observations, he
begged to move the resolution.
Mr. HARRISON asked if the conditions explained did not
apply only to the present capital? In all new stock they
would be equal.
The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative, and added that
another question would shortly be brought forward, namely,
the necessity of creating a very considerable addition to the
existing stock, for the purpose of completing the branches to
the collieries, and in some other directions, which would be
either feeders to the main line or matters of defence against
projected schemes; and this additional stock was to be
granted to the amalgamated companies, share and share
saitae.—(flear.)
In reply to a question,
The CIIAIRLMAN said that the branches would be to Llan-
gollen, Wem, Wel spool, &c. He then mentioned t hat three-
fourths of the Proprietors of the whole stock had sent in
their proxies, consenting to the amalgamation, and that in
order to save the atandinge orders, the notices had already
been published in the GazetZe.s
The Rev. Mr., LYON then econcled the resolutions, and
they were unanimously carried.
The Rev. Mr. LYON asked when the new shares would be
issued ?
The Cifaltraraet—lmmediately ; and we shall require the
usual deposit of ten per cent.
Mr. Rot' (Secretary)--They are 10/. shares, and the de-
posit will be it. each,
The meeting then term-mated.

SHREWSBURY, OSWESTRY, AND CHESTER JUNC-
TION RAILWAY.
CuterEn, TUESDAY AFTERNOON.—At one o'clock to-day
an extraordinary general meeting of the proprietors in the
Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction Railway Com-
pany was held in this city, " for the purpose of taking into
consideration a proposal for amalgamating tto said company
with the North Wales Mineral Railway Com,:,any, and in
case of such proposal being assented to, of adop!ing such
measures in relation thereto as may be necessary am.' expe-
dient." The chair was to have been taken by Wm. 0rb2,1?3'
Gore, Esq., M.P., but he was unable to be present, and
Win. Wardell, banker, deputy-chairman of the company,
consequently presided.
The CHAIRMAN, after announcing the object of the meeting,
said the advantages of the amalgamation must be so obvious,
that it would be quite unnecessary for him to say more than
one word itt furtherance of it. It would be perfectly ridi-
culous, in a line of only forty miles long, to have two com-
mittees, two sets of officers, two sets of engines and car-
riages, together with books to be kept against each other of
the transit of goods passing from one over the other.—( Hear,
hear.) In fact, the undertaking was an united one. A large
portion of the traffic must pass over both lines; and it was
certainly desirable on all accounts that there should be one
action through the whole. At the meeting of the North
Wales Mineral Company yesterday, the resolution for amal-
gamation was unanimously carried, and he hoped they would
to-day he carried by this company with the same unanimity.
Mr. KELSALL, the law clerk, then read the resolutions, as
follows :
" That the company be amalgamated with the North
Wales Mineral Railway Company upon the terms agreed to
at a joint meeting of the directors, held On the 28th October
last, as follows :
" That the 201. shares of the North Wales Zlineral Rail-
way Company, when paid up, shall be held as 2CI. 13s. 4d.
of paid up stock of the amalgamated company; and the 10/.
shares of the North Wales Mineral Railway Company, ',hen
paid up, shall be held as 13/. 6s. Bd. of the stock of the amol-
gaitiated company, and shall draw dividends accordingly.;
and that the 20/. shares of the Shrewsbury, Oswestry, and
Chester Junction Railway Company, when paid up, shall be
held as 20/. of the stock of the amalgamated company.
" That the North Wales Mineral Railway Company shall
be entitled to receive the whole proceeds and dividends de-
rived from their own lines, until the Shrewsbury, Oswestry,
and Chester Junction Railway shall be opened throughout.
" That the capital required for constructing the branch
lined to be brought before the ensuing session of Parliament,
shall be issued to the shareholders of both companies, as an
amalgamated stock, In the proportions of one 101. share for
every 20/. share held in the North Wales Mineral and in the
Btirevsbury, Oswestry, and Chester Junction Railway Com-
Palliee fespeetively. and one 10/. share for every two 191.
shares held in the North Wales Mineral Railway Company.
" That the directors be empowered to take the necessary
steps to carry out the foregoing resolutions."
Mr. W. PErrivr inquired whether the estimate of traffic
was taken from the difference in the value of the lines, or
whether it was a perspective view of it?
The CHAIRMAN replied that the resort:dims had been
agreed to at a conference of the two boards, after along and
most deliberate examination of the merits of each line. He
was glad to tell the proprietors that the terms agreed to were
satisfactory to both. They were founded upon the cost of
construction. The cost of constructing this line would, be-
of the large viaducts upon it, be materially more than
• of the mineral line; at the same time there
the construction
„o4i +raffle upon it. Taking into account
would be a largeti.''' it was considered that the pro-
_ ' - eait and proper propor-
the capital and all other date, -
portion of four to three would be the 'v-ken-
tion to amalgamate upon.
Mr. herr= said there was a line projected from
head to Flint and Mold ; and he asked, if a line should be
made in that direction, whether it would not injure the
North Wales Mineral, and add to the traffic on this (the
Oswestry) line?
The CHAIRMAN said there were various projects in agi-
tation affecting their lines, and the directors had not closed
their eves to them; but they could not now consid6 I. them.
They had their acts, and a certain traffic upon which fern.'
their calculations.
Mr, J. B. Ross, one of the directors' said that any. IL nes
opposition in the direction of Mold were not in to the. Nor tli
Wales Mineral. Their line went to Wrexham, and then 1-

Y&ming

the traffic to be :?ual on both the North Wales Mineral and
the aswestry, the mi,ss..ral was so much inferior in cost, that
it was thought fair it should have some advantage upon t 4.1
first amalgamation,
The CHAIRMAN then formally moved the adoption of the
resolutions • and the motion was seconded by Mr. PEPPIT;
and carried unanimously.
A PROPRIETOR asked if any portion of the Oswestry line
was opened hefore the amalgamation was effected, the profits
would go to that company only ?
The CHAIRMAN replied that there was a reservation of this
sort in favour of the North Wales Mineral promoters, • and of
course the same reservation would apply to this company.
Mr. J. B. Ross said the reason of that was, because the
North Wales Mineral had first got their Bill. He begged
to congratulate the promoters of both companies upon the
amalgamation which had taken place. The two companies
separately might have occupied but a very trifling and small
position in the eyes of the world; but united they made one
company, with one line of forty-six miles long, extending
from Chester through the towns of Wrexham and Oswestry,
to Shrewsbury. The amalgamated line would have a large
traffic from Liverpool, Manchester, and Chester, both in pas-
sengers and goods, to the counties of Salop, Chester, Den-
bigh, and Merionedi ; and as it passed, for 14 milesof its length,
and at about its centre, through the great mineral field of
North Wales—the minerals from which, even now, were
carried in large quantities towards Chester cad Birkenhead
upon one side, and Shrewsbury and Birmingham upon the
other—the traffic in this branch would necessarily be very
great. In this way these lines, as amalgamated, would he
possesSed, not only of a large goods and passengershut of a
large mineral, traffic. Perhaps the line might pay as a
goods line, or a passenger line, or as a mineral line only;
but taking the three together, it would certainly be a ten
per cent. line, and one of the best in the country.—(Hear.)
Brilliant as these prospects were as to the line itself, there
were yet brighter prospects in the extensions which were
contemplated. They were owners of half the capital, and
' half the direction of the line from Shrewsbury to Hereford,
which would put them in connexion with the Great Western,
the South Wales, and the Welsh Midland Railways;bring-
ing on this line the iron of South Wales, and the passenger
traffic from Bristol to Liverpool; while, upon the other side,
there were two competing lines from Shrewsbury to Birming-
ham, of one of which their chairman (Mr. 0. Gore) was
chairman ; but whichever of them got their Bill, it would
greatly increase the traffic in the directions of this now amal-
amated line. He expected, therefore, that this line would
ultimately become the great trunk line of the west, extend-
ing from Chester to Hereford upon one side, and to Birming-
ham upon the other. If, then, their prospects were so great
from the local traffic between Shrewsbury and Chester, what
must they be when the line was carried out to a connexion
with the London and Birmingham and the Great Western,
as it was certain to be?—(Cheers.) A more gratifying posi-
tion was impossible, and both companies, he thought, would
have every reason to be pleased with the measuree'adOpted
to-day awl yesterday,—(Cheers.)
A vote of thanks was then presented to the Chairman, on
the motion of Mr. Foreeorr.
The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said it
was quite certain this would form the direct line from Liver-
pool to Bristol and from Bristol to Southampton on one side,
and to the Land's End on the other. It would command the
whole of the traffic of the south-west of England, and,
therefore, he thought there was every prospect of this being
a most successful undertaking.
The meeting then separated.

IMPROPER ADMINISTIi ANION OF LAUDANUM FOR
THE HOOPEIG COUGH.—On Tuesday Mr. Baker held an in-
quest at the Bedford Arms, Wapping. wall, on the body o
George William Mitchell, nine weeks old, who was alleged
to have died in consequence of having laudanum adminis-
tered to him for the hooping cough. It appeared from the
evidence of the mother, who lives ill Peacock's-buildings,
Middle Shadwell, that she had three chOdren, one four years
old, aeother two years, and the decease.% who were seized
with the hooping cough. She was recommended to go to a
person of the name of Lockwood, who lived in Fieldgate-
st.reet, Whitechapel. She obtained a half-ounce phial, which
com:.eined a mixture, from a female, who told her to give the
decease 1 a drop the first night, two on the secood, three on
the third, and four on the fourth night. (The phi t... 1 was pro-
,Nced, and labelled " Lockwood and Green, chemists and
drt:,e,-gists, from the late Mr. Jordan, Golden Key, No. 10,
Fiehioate-street, Whitechapel. The hooping cough.") The
, on [handrst night upon swallowi a drop was com•
deceasei.:
posed to s:eep, on the other nights hews awakened with
difficulty. After administering the four drops, which were
deceased last Thursday week, he was mpletely
otavkeeriniobwyertehde, ate.. d sank into a sleep from which hen ever en-
d died on the Sunday following. Mr. D.
tirely recovered, ai:
Ross, surgeon, Shade, .'ll, stated that he received a certificate
from the deceased's mb!lter, which was signed " P. Lock-
wood," as follows :—" This
.is to certify that George 'William
Mitchell died with inflammatiC.n and hooping cough, and had
medicine from me, P. Lockwood, 20, Fielo',gate-street, White-
chapel." He inquired what the deco sed had received, when
the mother showed him a phial, the contents of vibich con-
sisted of a great portion of laudanum. He then refused to
register the death until an inquiry had taken place. .The
Coroner, in summing up
.the evidence, cautioned Mr. Lock-
wood, who was present, not to sell such a medicine, es a
person administering it without knowing its effects rendered
himself liable to a charge of manslaughter. Verdict, " That
the deceased died a natural death, which might have been
accelerated by the incautious administration of A medicine
.given for the cure of the hooping cough."
INTOTTINGIIAM, WEDNESDAY.—OPENING OP. THE
pons,.--At a meeting of the Town Council this day, Mr.
Taylor brought forward a motion, on the subject of men:o-
- the Government, to open the ports at this importanst.
crisie, to pro Vent difficulties which must occur, should they
not be opened, from a scarcity of food, arising from an in-
sufficient crop of wheat and th e disease amongst potatoes.
1 He urged the necessity of the m emorial to strengthen the
I hands of those in the cabinet who might be favourable, and
condemned the policy of deferrii ig to do an act which all
the nations of Europe had thous ;ht it right to pursue, for
the purpose of affording an ample Supply of provisions to the
inhabitants, and to prevent them. being visited with 'the
horrors of famine. He begged to move, that with the fearful
prospect of distress occasioned by the deficiency of the late
harvest, the council deem it expe client, that a memorial in
•conformty with this resolution be prepared and transmitted
to the Lords of the Treasury, and Viet the mayor do affix the
common seal to such memorial. 11Ir. John Bradley se-
conded the motion. Mr. Wakefield thought the alarm
created had been greater than wm ru!cessary, but he should
vote for the ,memorial. Many nea embers of the council
spoke in favour of the motion, and it was carried unani-
-n
mously, and a cora.ittee was appointe d to draw up the me-
morial agreeing with the spirit of the e esolution. ' I
