HER .MAJESTYS VislT TO THE

CONTINENT.

• FULDA, WEDNESDAY.
At half-past eight o'clock this evening her Majesty took
leave of her illustrious relations, at the palace of
Friedrichsthal, with the exception of the King and
Queen of the Belgians, who started at five o'clock this morn-
ing post for Antwerp, to make preparations for the reception
of the Queen on her arrival at that place. The Duchess of
Kent, after taking leave of her illustrious daughter, also
left this morning tbr the chateau of Rheinartsbrunn, where
she will pass some days previous to her return to England.
The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg Gotha feeling that
their hospitable duties did not terminate at the palace gates,
accompanied the royal guests to the confines of their domi-
nions, which join the territory of the Grand Duke of Saxe
Weimar between Gotha and Eisenach. With many mutual
and sincere expressions of regret at separation, the royal re-
latives here took leave of each other, the Duke and Duchess
of `axe Coburg Gotha returning to their palace at Gotha,
and her Majesty proceeded rapidly to the old town of
Eisenach, where the Grand Duke Charles Frederick of Saxe
Weimar was waiting to welcome our Sovereign to his
dominions. On entering, her Majesty alighted at the
Rau. en-Kranz, and greeted the Grand Duke with much
cordiality.
As there is nothing particularly e orthy of the traveller's
attention in Eisenach, the Grand Duke had several of his
carriages in reaainess to convey her Majesty to the quaint
antique castle of Wartburg, which is perched upon the top
of a hill, about two miles distant from the town. Her
Majesty expressed her readiness to make this slight detour,
iu compliance with the Grand Duke's invitation, and was
handed at once into his Highness's carriage, which set ofl
forthwith for Wartburg. There are several historical re-
collections associated with this old castle, whose bleached
walls, white with dry antiquity, have in their time sheltered
potentates innumerable with unpronouncable names and
numberless quarteriegs.
Her Majesty looked at all the relics with evident interest,
and was shown the room in which Luther threw an inkstand
at the Devil. General Jackson had a negro slave, so very
black that charcoal made a white mark on his face, and the
Devil's complexion would probably sustain no material da-
mage from a few spots of ink; but there can exist no doubt
of the fact, since the ink-spots are still shown upon the wall,
and are as visible to the credulous as Rizzio's blood-stains at
Holyrood. There are moveover, several very superb suits
of armour in the castle, one of which was worn by the Prin-
ces Cunegonde, a young lady who, in company with Doctor
Pangloss, sustained many vicissitudes, until she at last became
the blemished bride of the susceptible Candide.
Her Majesty partook of some refreshment at Wartburg,
where she remained for nearly three hours; and then drove
down to the high road to Marksuhl, where the royal car-
riages were in waiting. Her Majesty, having thanked the
Grand Duke of \Veinier for his attention, and assured him
how gratified she had been at seeing the castle, then entered
the carriage, and drove on through the Thuringian woods to
Marksuhe through Vach and Buttlar, to Hfinfeld, when the
road enters the territory of Hesse Cassel. The Eelctor had
dispatched the Hofmeister Von Maltzburg and General Von
Hainau to receive her Majesty ou the confines of his do-
minions ; and at nine o'clock in the evening her Majesty
entered Fulda, where apartments had been provided for her
at the Kurfurst Hotel. The Prince Electoral Frederic
William, co-Regent of the Electorate, immediately forwarded
his respects to her Majesty, and placed the old episcopal
palace at her Majesty's disposal ; but her Majesty thanked
the Prince for his hospitality, which was declined, as all the
arrangements had been previously made for her reception at
the hotel.
FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE,. THUIISDAT.
The Queen.left Fulda at eight o'clock this morning, and
arrived here at half-past three o'clock this afternoon. Lady
Canning, Lady Gainsborough, Lord Liverpool, Lord Aber-
deen, Mr. Anson, and all the members of the suite, preceded
her Majesty, who travelled with Prince Albert in a close
carriage. The extensive suite of apartments on the first and
second floors of the Hotel d'Angleterre had been kept for the
private use of her Majesty and suite, the former tenants
having been routed from their rooms, and are now compelled
to inhabit lofty chambers in the roof, from which they " stare
upon the stars from out their attics." Shortly after her
Majesty arrived, Lord and Lady 'Westmoreland, with the
Hon. Cecil Fane and Mr. Fox Strangways, paid their re-
spects to her Majesty. Lord Westmoreland and family have
been residing at Wiesbaden since the breaking up of the royal
party at Stolzenfels. The King of Bavaria has just arrived,
and will join the dinner party this evening. The King has
travelled thus far to greet our Sovereign, and to express his
regret that pressing state affairs should have detained him
at Munich, and prevented him from receiving her Majesty in
person at his magnificent palace at Wurtzburg, which it may
be remembered, her Majesty passed whilst on her journey to
Coburg.
A change has taken place in the projected royal progress.
Her Majesty received, whilst at Gotha, a pressing invitation
from Louis Philippe to pay him a passing visit at the Cha-
teau d'En. That invitation her Majesty has accepted, and,
instead of steering for the white cliffs of Albion, the royal
yacht will feat a second time anchor off Treport. Her Ma-
jesty is, however, so anxious to see the royal children, that
she will not prolong her stay with the King of the French
beyond two days at the utmost.
Fier Majesty will leave Frankfart at half-past seven to-
morrow morning (Friday), by railway for Biberich. It is
by far more convenient to embark at the quay opposite the
Duke of Nassau's palace there than at Mayence, as originally
intended. The long-continued line weather has so dried up
the Rhine that the Fairy has been compelled to drop down.
to Bingen, and the receding waters have since obliged her to
retreat to Coblentz. Her Majesty will, therefore, d,scend
the river in one of the Rhine steamers, which draw le-s
water than the Fairy, and will arrive to-morrow evening at
Deutz, opposite to -Cologne, and proceed by railway the
following morning to Antwerp. Should her Majesty feel
much fittigued after her long travel she will accept of King
Leopold's hospitalities until Monday morning; but accord-
ing to present arrangements her Majesty will embark at
Antwerp on board the royal yacht on Saturday afternoon.
FRIDAY.—The dinner par y in the saloon of the lintel
d'Angleterre was not so numerous as might have been ex-
pected under the circumstances. The pa ty consisted of her
Majesty, the King of Bavaria, the Prince Albert, the King of
Bavaria's Aid-de camp, Prince Metternich, Lady Canning,
Lord Liverpool,Lady Gainsborough, Mr. Anson, and Lord Aber.
deen. It has of late been erroneously stated in tome of the
papers, that a misunderstanding existed between Lord Aber-
deen and the Prince Metternich. The very reverse, how-
ever, of this is the case ; the two diplomatists are joined by
the indissoluble ties of an entente cordiale, which is firmly
cemented by the identity of their opinions upon the great
fbreign political questions of the day. When her Majesty
first came to Germany, Prince Metternich earnestly requested
Lord Aberdeen to visit him at his chateau of Johannisberg.
His Lordship pleaded the necessity ,of his continual personal
attendance upon the sovereign, and sent a pressing invita-
tion to the Prince to meet him at Frankfort, and in compli-
ance with this invitation, the Prince arrived here last night
in time to join the royal dinner party. In the evening her
Majesty received Lord and Lady Westmoreland, Mr. F.
Strangways, the British Minister here, the Saxon Minister,
Mr. Koch, the venerable Consul, Mr. Bush and Mr. Orme,
the Attaches, and the Burgomeister, who came in his state
equipage.
Her Majesty retired to her apartments at eleven o'clock,
and at a quarter past eight this morning the royal travellers
were again en route, by the Frankfort Railway, for Biberich.
DEUTZ, HOTEL BELLONA, SATURDAY MORNING.
Her Majesty arrived at this hotel at half-past five o'clock
yesterday afternoon, in the. Fairy yacht, from Bingen. On
alighting from the railway at Biberich her Majesty embarked
on board of the Count of Paris, one of the Rhine steamers,
which was lying off the Duke of Nassau's splendid palace
on the banks of the Rhine. As soon as her Majesty was on
board, the steamer got under weigh and descended the
Rhine as far as Bingen, where the Fairy was hove to and in
readiness fur the reception of the illustrious travellers. The
steamer went alongside the yacht, and her Majesty was then
enabie'!lt to step on board without any difficulty or danger.
The beatitintl,rakish looking little vessel then steamed ra-
pidly down the !?Isine, and as the bridge of boats between
Coblentz and Ehrenbeeetein was being opened to admit the
yacht, the fortress poured iorth her parting benediction fro
fom
her five hundred iron mouthses—an example which was l-
lowed from several of the frequent feudal towers which are
perched upon the dizzy pinnacles on the banks of this noble
river.
Her Majesty. is this moment (half-past eight o'clock) on
the point of starting for the railway terminus at Cologne,
from whence she proceeds by special train to Antwerp, and
afterwards to Treport, wind and weather permitting.
ANTWERP, SATURDAY EVENING.—The last portion of the
royal progress by land, and by far the least agreeab )(portion,
a long railway journey of eight hours and a half, has just
terminated. The Queen arrived here at a quarter past lives'
and was received by the King and Queen of the Belgians, who
conducted her to the royal carriages, which drove off at once
to the King's palace.
On leaving Frankfort this morning the train proceeded
with such cautious tediousness that the long black line of
decorated carriages must have looked in the distance like
some pompes funibres, instead of a royal travelling party.
Moreover, the train stopped at every unimportant station
until it arrived at Aix-la- Chapelle, where her Majesty
alighted whilst the baggage and carriages were being trans-
ferred from the Prussian to the Belgian train. The station
was gaily decorated, and all the civil and military authorities
were present to receive her Majesty. who immediately re
cognised M. Millesen, the cloth-merchant, who offered the
magnificent entertainment to her Majesty when she passed
through the town three weeks since on her way to Cologne.
After a delay of a quarter of an hour her Majesty again
set fortis on her journey, and the train proceeded with,
happily, a slight increase of speed, through Herbesthal,
the boundary of the Prussian and Belgian territory, to
Verviers, where Sir Hamilton Seymour, the English Minister
at Brussels, and General D'llahne, one of King Leopol.d's
aides-de-camp, received her Majesty, and travelled by the
special train to Antwerp. At the several stations on
the road, Tirlemont, Louvain. blalines, and other places,
guards of honour presented arms as the train whirled by, and
military bands played our national anthem with more or less
precision. At Louvain a woman stepped forward from
amongst the gazing crowd and threw a letter into the royal
carriage': which Prince Albert immediately handed to her
Majesty, wilt; was somewhat startled by this unexpected
petition. This was the only incident that occurred during
the royal progress whicts was worthy of notice.
There is a grand illuminative. in the town to-night, and
fireworks were let off on the quays siring her Majesty's em-
barkation. On the arrival of the royal party, the King and
Queen of the Belgians conducted her Majesty to the Palace,
where a sumptuous entertainment was prepared. At trine
o'clock this evening her Majesty embarked on board the
royal yacht, which however will not get under weigh until
to -morrow morning. If the weather should be fte propitious
as it has happily hitherto been, the yacht will go to Ire-
port. Her Majesty, however, will net prolong her stay
there beyond two days, at the utmost, and may therefore
be expected at the Isle of Wight on Wednesday, at the
latest. Should, however, the wind blow fresh from the
northward and westward, her Majesty will go direct from
here to England, as the difficulty of landing at Treport
under these circumstances would prevent her Majesty from
paying her projected visit to the King of the French. Lord
Adplphus Fitzclarence (Graf Adolf, as the Germans call him)
is unfortunately suffering from a violent fit of the gout. His
Lordship has been staying at Wiesbaden since the Queen
left Mayence. The Queen looks remarkably well, and bears
all the fatigue wonderfully.

VAUXIIALL-GARDENS.—The season will close on
the '29th of this month, and it is the intention of the lessee for
the remainder of the season to admit the public at the reduced
price of one shilling. We like the million to have their enter-
tainment at a cheap rate, and we quite agree with the
liberal arrangements the lessee has made for the
la't nights. We hear that another
i night ascent of Mr.
Greer,' balloon will take place n the course of the
• -• a. very novel and extraordinary s'eeple-
week, and also tn..

chase will " come off" on v..- ----n two and three
loon will leave the royal pi opera y " ,
o'clock, and be followed by a number of sporting men on
back who have entered themselves for a sweepstakes of 50/.,
which will be delivered to the winner at the gardens the same
evening. This novel affair has already cau,ed a great sensation
in the sporting world. The gardens in future will be opened
four nights a week, Tuesday being the extra night.—Sunday
Times.

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Saturday
next, the 13th insta• t, at Osborne House, Isle, of W;ght•
The Council is appointed at one o'clock in the after-
noon.
Sir James Graham left town yesterday morning to
pay a visit to Lord Stanley, at Walton. The Right Hun.
Baronet returned to town in the afternoon.
Dispatches from the Governor of Malta, and also from
the Governor of Gibraltar, were received yesterday at
the Colonial- office.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
A new and original comedietta (and for once the
word comedietta, as applied to a one-act piece, is not a
misnomer) entitled Peter Jenkins; or, Fibbing for a
Friend, was produced at this theatre last evening, and
an excellent comedietta it is. Mr. David Brown (Mr.
Meadows) is a partner in a mercantile housr, who mixes
ip sentiment and the main chance in the oddest manner
aessible. His partner is Mr. Whiffen(Keeley) a plain
iitforward man of business, who makes it. his boast
at he has never told a lie in his life. David Brown is
rd and disappointed at discoverieg that his ladye
(eve, Miss Jenkins (Miss Dawson), a young lady with
2,0001. in her own right, has eloped with a gay
Lothario ; and Whiffen is surprised and pleased
at rem icing a note from young Victor de Mont-
morency (Mr. V% igan), a Frenchman, returning
him 501. which he had borrowed of him, and in-
viting him to Lis cottage at Richmond, w here he is
spending the honeymoon with his young wife. 13roart,
who is going to the Star and Garter, gives Whiffen a
cast dawn in his gig. Now Mrs. Montne.rency is the
very Miss Jenkins who was engaged to Brown, and Mont -
morency, who is awfully jealous, has discov. red Brown's
portrait in his wife's possession ; to appease him the
wife declares it is the portrait of her Lrather Peter
Jenkins, and Miss Clear (Mrs. Keeley ), the teacher at the
boarding school from which the elopement took place, and
who has accompanied the lovers, vouches for the truth of
the statement. The confusion which arises when Mr.
David Brown makes his appearance as the companion of
Whiffen may be easily imagined. Brown, however, is
got rid of betore any discovery takes place, and Miss
Clear, who has her own designs on Whitten, persuades
him to declare to Montmorency that Brown is Pete r
Jenkins. Old Jerkins, however, arrives, and when
Montmorency introduces Whiffen as a friend of the
family, and the intimate associate of his son Peter,
the old man is astounded. He has no son. Miss Clear
again prompts Whiffen. Peter is a wild do!:-, has outrun
the constable, the father cannot bear to hear his mane
mentioned, and for that time Montmorency is pacified ;
but Brown again makes his appearance, and Mont-
morency is determined to bring about a reconciliation,
I.y introducing them to each other, and then it is dis-
covered that Peter Jenkins is David Brown. Mont-
morency declares he will repudiate his wife, and
annihilate 'Whiffen, but again Miss Clear recon-
ciles everything. She declares that her father
had determined to sacrifice her to another ; that
years ago she bad been engaged to Whiffen ; that
they had kept up a secret correspondence ; and that
Whiffen had sent her his portiait by Brown, who, for
motives best known to himself; had substituted his
own ; that on Montmorency finding the portrait, his
wife, in order to spare her friend's feelings, had said it
was the portrait of Peter Jenkins ; but that now all ob-
stacles being removed, she can make her dear Whiffen
happy—and most happy, too, does she make Mont-
morency, for she has an enormous appetite, and he is
right glad to get her out of his house. This little play
is admirably written and admirably acted. Mr. and
Mrs. Keeley and Wigan were called for at the con-
clusion, and the piece was announced for repetition
amidst unbounded applause.

RAILWAY.
MEETING AT STOCKBRIDGE.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of the town and
neighbourhood cf Stockbridge, was held on Friday, to
take into consideration the Manchester and Southampton
Railway, which will pass through Stockbridge. The
meeting was numerously and respectably attended. A
deputation of the promoters was also present, consisting
of R. Etwall, Esq., MY., T. Griffith, Esq., Mayor of
Southampton, C. Long, Esq., solicitor, H. Footner, Esq.,
E. Coxweil, Esq., J. Lankester. Esq., and others, from
Southampton. George Powell, Esq., steward of the
manor, in the chair.

Mr. J. LANKESTER explained the route of the proposed
railway, arid said, that no town in Great Britain had
made such a rapid advance of late years as Southampton.
Its population had increased from 8 000 in 1811, to
nearly 40,000, and Its export trade from 770,000/. in
1843, to 1,500,000/. in 1844, and to 3,000,0001. in the
first eight months of 1845. This rapid increase was to
be attributed to railway communication ; and he be-
lieved the trade of Southampton was only y, t in its
infancy. It was within his memory that Stockbridge
was once a more thriving place than it was at present ;
and he was at liberty to state that there were parties at
Manchester who contemplated making use of the water
power of the Test, should this railway he carried.—
(Clmers.) Amongst the advantages to be derived from
the formation of railways in this neighbourhood, he
could mention the expenditure in its construction, the
future constant outlay in its maintenance, the employ-
ment of a grcat number of persons upon the line, and

the large contribution by the railway to the poor-rates
of the parishes through which it would pa's. --(Hear.)
Another advantage was the increase caused in the
rateable value of property in the neighbourhood of rail
way stations. In all the places upon the line of the
proposed rai:wa), where meetings had yet been held, the
project had been almo:4 unanimously approved of, and
the landed gentlemen along the line had, in nearly every
instance, given it their cordial support.
ETWALL, Esq., M.P., said it was now a question of
doubt as to whether a railway' would be formed from
Manchester to Southampton ; but it was for them to

consider whether it would not be advan sgeous to Stock-
bridge that the line should be carried which it was pro-
posed should pass through their town.—(Hear.) When
first railways were projected, the landed interest and the
tenant farmers feared that the market for oats would be
destroyed, by horses being thrown out of employment,
but the result had proved the grounel-lessm ss of those
fears, and more just views now prevailed. lie believed
they would all agree that a railway from Southampton to
their town would be advantageous to them, and they
could not but acknowledge that a line which would con-
nect them with the manufacturing districts of the north
' would also be most beneficial to their trade.—(Hear )
There was another railway proposed, vt hich would unite
with this line, and would give them an opportunity of
traveling and conveying goods between that town and
Newbury, Ilsley, and Oxford, and so northwards. This
conflux of railways must be beneficial to their local
trade —(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Meinbrr expre,sed his
hope that they would make common cause with the pro-
jectors of the line, and do all in their power to secure
the success of that desirable undertaking.
Other gentlemen addressed the meeting at some length,
and the motion Navin; been carried with three cheers,
The CHAIRMAN said the unanimity of the meeting was
a source of great satisfaction to him. He was most
anxious to promote the undertaking by every means in
his power. Ile would represrnt to the Earl of Clarendon
the feelings of the meeting, and he felt assured that in
as far as the property of the Noble Earl was concerned,
every facility would be offered to the undertaking.
The petit,ons then received numerous signatures, and
the meting broke up.—Hampshire ktvertiser.

THE HARVEST.—The accounts of the weather
from all parts of the country, and of the progress of the harvest
during the last few days, are extremely gratifying. in this
neighbourhood, the cutting of wheat has become general, and
another fortnight of such glorious weather as we have at pre-
sent will leave very little outstanding grain.—Lancaster
Guardian.
On Saturday, in the Bankruptcy Court, Messrs.
Smith and Hayes, who had opened a club in Henrietta-street,
for clergymen, entitled " The Clerical Club," appeared in this
Court to pass their final examination. Mr. Smith, who was
also the editor of the " British Magazine," an ecclesiastical
monthly of good literary estimation, said that they had been
made bankrupts as " hotel-keepers," but they merely kept a
club. Mr. Parish was the only petitioning creditor. It was
shown that the debts were about 6001. ' • as a set off there were
500/. in the official assignee's hands. Mr. Hayes had to make
further inquiries respecting his property. The accounts were
considered quite satisfactory by the solicitor for the assignees,
and Mr. Commissioner Fane passed the applicants.
COUNTY VOTERS.—A reeholders' Building Society
was formally established on Wednesday evening in Manchester,
J. l3rooke, 'Esq., in the chair, on which occasion no fewer than.
510 shares were taken up, and on which deposits were paid.
This confederacy will, it is probable, prove a formidable one to
corn as sell as other raonopolists.—Preston Guardian.
SHIRLEY MARKET.—Shirley has c numeneed a
market for the sale of pigs, sheep, horses, and other cattle,
which took place on Friday, and was well attended. There
was a good supply of pigs, which to with a very brisk sale ;
the first lot was penned by Mr. Stockwell, of Shirley, and were
purchas d immediately for stock, and the supply was insufficient
to meet the demands, There was likewise a plentiful supply of
cows and horses, which also met to ith a ready sale. it is
thought probable that this will become a good market, as it
will be a great convenience to many ; and at the ordinary
which was held at the White Swan, several dealers expressed
their determination to exert themselves to ensue a good sup-
ply of cattle.—Hampshire Advertiser.
INQUEST ON THE SOLDIER WIIO WAS SHOT BY,
THE CORYORAL AT CORE.—An inquest was held at the
Cork barracks on Thursday on the body of Robert Frisby, the
unfortunate soldier of the 73d Regiment, who was shot on the
evening of the previous Tuesday by Corporal Buchanan, of the
same regiment. The jury unanimously found the following
verdict :—" That on the evening of Tuesday, the 2d of Sep.
Leather, the said Robert Frisby was mortally wounded by a ball
feloniously and wilfully discharged in the Barrack.square of
Cork, by Jame* Rueherusc, a corporal in the said 73d Regiment
of Foot, of which mortal wound the said Robert Frisby lan-
guished until about the hour of five o'clock yesterday, and then
died of the same in barracks in this borough." fbe coroner
then issued his committal, and the prisoner was immediately
after handed over to the civil authorities, being escorted by a
guard of the y3d Regiment to the city gaol, to await his trial
at the neat assiaei.
SYSTON AND PETERBOROUGH RAILWAY.It IS now
clearly understood that this lire of railway will be proceeded
with at each end, viz., from Syston to Melton, and
from Oakham to Peterborough, as soon as the requisite
notices have been delivered to the landowners and oc•
cupiers. The 'Company are prevented from taking a great
portion of the intermediate space for twelve months by a
clause in their Act, unless by the consent of the Earl of
Harboroggh ; but it is confidently hoped that long before the
meetiil of Parlierpept the Noble Earl will let it be seen that
he is not
meaaere likely to prove so beneficial
to the community, and that an aneeatle ervangement will be
ti
opposed to a
effected. It is thought that by running the line on the bed of
the tiakham canal, past the park, his Lordship's principal ob-
jection would be obviated.— Cambridge Chronicle.

TATTE R SA LL'S.--( Yr..stEnme.y. N
Yesterday, if not a very busy, was an important day at
the corner, inasmuch as the hopes and fears of the backers
of Merry Monarch were effectually set at rest by a de-
claration that he would not start, owing, it was reported, to
his having fallen lame; while to increase the excitement,
Mentor, who but the day before, owing to a similar rumour,
had receded to 40 to 1, sprung to 12 to 1, at which price
nearly all the money for which he was backed (some three
or four hundred pounds at a guess) was laid out. Miss
Sarah was quoted at 3 to 1, layers, Weatherl it at 7 to 1, laid
once to a small sum,-and afterwards offered, but not currestly.
The Pacha at 11 and 12 to 1, both taken in se'yeral quarters,
and Red Robin at 16 to 1, to which figure he rose from 1,000
to 45, laid twice at the commencement of the betting.
Forth's lot, now confined to Mr. Irwin's two and John
Davies, was backed by Mr. Irwin himself at 20 to 1,
but did not appear to have any admirers out of the stable.
The other changes were of little moment. Closing prices:—

" Mesmerism" has of late attracted FO much of the
public attention, that we do not. feel surprised at its having
been selected as a fit subject for the novel reader and in the
hands of so experienced a writer of fiction as the author of
" Brambletye House," as may readily be imagined, it is treated
with all the effect that could be given to it. " Love and
Mesmerism," for such is the intejesting title of this new work,
is pronounced in literary circles not only the best of Horace
Smith's numerous productions, but one of the most striking
tons of metal

bronze casting was for the fore part of the colossal horse in-
tended for the Wellington statue at the west end. The hinder
part has already been cast, and is now in progress of being
finished. The vast body of metal was occasionally seen through
the iron door of a huge furnace ; it was intensely brilliant and
perfecty fluid. Ad.ep " run" led from the door of the fur-
nace, and conveyed the liquid metal to a large pit wherein the
model was deposited. At a given signal an aperture in the
front of the furnace was opened, and a hollow noise like that
from a volcano was heard. The metal then in a complete state
of fusion glided forth like a stream of lava, hissing and spitting
as it went along to the model-pit. In about half an hour the
whole seventeen tons had run into the pit in a continuous even
flow, giving indication that all was right below. It will take
five weeks before the mass can be sufficiently fixed and cool—a
period of considerable excitement and suspense to the artist. it
was curious that the two principal workmen employed on the
occasion are Frenchmen, cho'en "Y Mr. Wyatt for their know-
ledge in bronze casting. They are two hearty fellows, and
stirred up the liquid metal with perfect nonchalance, apparently
heedless about Its having originally been cannon taken from the
armies of their country in order to form a statue of Wellington.

Mr. C. KERS, the Secretary, read the Directors' report.
It referred to the proceedings in Parliament, and congratu-
lated the Shareholders on the successful manner in which the
Bill had been carried, in the face of the most de ermined and
unusual opposition. The works on the line had all been eon-
trailed for, and operations were already begun. It was origi-
nally proposed that a single line of tail only should be laid for
the present, but as land and br.dges were t e be provided for a
double line, the Directors strongly recommenced that double
rails should at once be laid down. An arrangement has been
concluded with the Directors'of the Scottish Central. by which
the two railways were to be wrought together as one
line—the same gentleman being secretary and manager of both
establishments With the view cf carrying the original ohjects
of the Company in'o effect, the Directors had ordered surveys
and plans of the branches to Blairgowrie, Dunkeid, and Kirrie-
muir, and all of these wire in a state of forwardness. A survey
of the line to Dundee, with a view to the improvement of
the existing line from Dundee to Newtyle, or the formation of
a new and independent line, had also been ordered and would
soon be completed. For the extension of the line from Forfar
direct to Brechin, Montrose, and Laurencekirk, a Company has
already been firmed, the deeds signed, and the deposhs paid;
and the necessary preparations were in prierress for introducing.
a Bib early next session. It would be the duty of the Com-
pany to give every aid in their power towards the formation of
this and other projected lines ; and the Directors recommended
that lull power should be given to their successors to co-operate
with the parties interested in carrying these projecta into effect.
The report was unanimonsly adopted, and on the motion of
Mr. Musses, of Simprin, it was resolved that the Directors
be confirmed in the:r cave, and empowered to carry out the
recommenda•ion contained in the report.
Alr. James Alorion, accountant, and Mr. Robert Macfat lane,
ritcr, Perth, were appointed audi ors to o,c Gin ;Any. The
remuneration to the Dirt ctors was fixed at 3001. per annum;
the salary of the Secretary (it being understood that he is to
receive 400/. from the Scottish Central) was fixed at 2200 t. ;
and the allowance to the auditors was fixed at 25/. each
per annum. _ _

Thanks, on the motion of Mr. WALLACE, seconded by
Mr. GREIG, were awarded to the Prtivisi.mal Committee, to
Mr. Kerr, the secretary, and to Sir James Ramsay, fur pre-
siding.

lIALIFAX, HUDDERSFIELD, AND BRADFORD

UNION.

A general meeting of the Proprietors of this Company was
held in Huddersfield on Thursday, to take in,o consideration
the lately much agitated question relative to the ron-i,sue of
scrip by the Executive Committee in the terms of the Com-
pany's prospectus. Mr. B. N. R. Batty took the chair.
Several resolutions were proposed, and spoken to by Messrs.
W. F:ddison, Bradley, Flo3d, Beaumont, Crossland, Brook,
Dougeil, and More; and ultimately a memorial, to be pre-
sented to the provisional Committee, was unanimously
' adopted, in which the memorialists protest against any such
course, because they consider that the deposits had been paid
on the faith of receiving Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford
scrip. They further consider that the arrangements made
with the Manchester and Leeds Company have altogether a
prospective operation, and that their becoming Shareholders its
the Manchester and Leeds Company was altogether dependent
upon obtaining the Act abut to be applied for. They suggest
that no arrangement or agreement has been made with the
United %Vest Riding Company. so as to bind that Company, and
that the United West Riding Company hate no in..
terest whatever in the matter. They believe that
the agreement 'entered into between the Manchester
and Leeds Company and the West Yorkshire and
West Riding Companies, and that entered into with the
Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford Company, are mat alto-.
gether similar, but that the last-mentioned agreement is con-
siderably more favourable th:.n the former, so that any change
in the name would be absolutely detrimental to their interests.
'I hey recommend that Huddersfield, Halifax, and Bradford
Union scrip should be Issued in the u,ual form t f scrip, and
believe that such a course would sender abortive the intrusive
inlet ference of parties interested only in the change of name
in the Company, from pecuniary and personal consideratior,,
arising out of indiscriminate and vicious speculation in ',raying
and si lling of shares. They feel assured that su.;.:n A course of
proceeding only will answer the expectation of the public, and
carry out in principle the true, legal, and equitable meaning of
the agreement made with the Manchester and Leeds Company.
and maintain unimpaired the confidence which the Shareholders
repose in the Committee,
