Perhaps there never was

a painting more expressive of

domestic alliction and trial than this, or one that came

more home to the heart. It tells its own tale : at

group assenbled: every face bearing a different expression

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BIRMINGHAM AND
GLOUCESTER RAILWAY.-TWO LIVES LOST.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY MORNING.
(Prom our own Correspondent.)
At a few minutes before six o'clock on Tuesday evening,
a locomotive engine, once well known at the Vauxhall Sta-
tion, Grand Junction Rniin,‘, nt

,ouren s engine, winie
standinc,
over an ash-pit at the Bromsgrove Station, blew up
with a terrific explosion. The following is an official account
of the melancholy accident :--The engine in question had
been made by Dr. Church, of Birmingham, for some time,
and, at his request, allowed to be tried on the Grand June-
-44— • , •.

uon rcauway. tin tius trial it was found difficult to raise the
steam quickly, and Dr. Church had it back again to remedy
the defect. Last week, a friend of Dr. Church applied to
the directors of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway to
allow another trial to be made on their line, to which they
consented, subject to an examination of the encr;no

ngme ny tne en-
gineer of locomotives. It was examined by him and his fore-
man, and reported favourably of; and the steam was got up
on Tuesday for the first time, and the engine made
several trips on the line without any loads attached,
and worked apparently very well. About six o'clock

CAPTAIN PIDDING'S TEAS.

THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli-
gence of the English having been totally expelled from
China, and that hostilities had actually commenced between
Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in
person, and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is
at war with England. And the questions upon which the
two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust-
ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro-
bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a
very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of
that article has taken place. Since June last, common black
teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine
Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per
lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo-
ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be
sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise,
however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who
found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than
they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to
raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased
by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How-
QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. per lb.,
being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when
the commonest teas, since June, have advanced ls. 9d. per lb.
HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER will he sold, for the
present, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when even Hyson, an inferior tea,
is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter
catties in like proportions.
Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that
his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no
probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the
least, twelve months ; and as the entire stock of consumable
tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period,
there is little doubt but tea will advance daily.
These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S
MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S
SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages.
N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID-
DING" is upon every genuine package.

PARISIAN BITUMEN PAVING COMPANY.
HE opinion of several eminent Engineers having been
T taken as to the merits of the Bitumen of this Company,
the Directors feel justified in stating that it is capable of
resisting the effects of heat, wet, and frost, and is fully equal,
if not superior, to any of the Asphaltes now in use, while its
price, the carriage from London included, is considerably
less.
The Directors, before mentioning the various uses to which
Bitumen is applicable, have great pleasure in calling the
attention of parties interested in the subject, to a most mas-
terly exposition of the qualities of this celebrated Mastic,
delivered at the Architectural Society, Lincoln's Inn Fields,
by Mr. Tite, who brought to the task not only a compre-
hensive knowledge of what had been done, but a mind deeply
imbued with the conviction that much yet remained to do
towards developing all the resources of which such a material
was capable.
The Directors are well aware that the qualities of their
Bitumen, to be appreciated, must be known, and feeling
that the public will soon be freed from those prejudices
against its use which carelessness of application has alone
generated, beg to say, that they have ready prepared a large
quantity of Bitumen of a proper consistency applicable to the
following purposes, viz. :
To the Covering of Viaducts, or Arches of Railways, Bridges,
Catacombs, Wine Vaults, Cellars, &c.
To the Paving of Pathways, Court Yards, Garden Walks,
Stables, Coach -houses, Barns, Tun Rooms, Malt Houses,
Granaries, Warehouses, Wharfs, Esplanades, Cause-
ways, &c.
To be delivered in Liverpool or Manchester, at £3 per Ton,
cash price ; or
The Directors will execute any of the above Works, in Li-
verpool, Manchester, or the Neighbourhood, at ss. 6d. the
square yard each, inclusive of all expenses.
Directions for Use will be forwarded with any quantity.
And the Directors will guarantee the Durability of Works
executed by the Company.

pointment, suck being the invariable practice of our
chief magistrates—a'practice to which even Mr. Rath-
bone, another Unitarian mayor, felt called upon to
conform. Mr. Bolton's reply to the deputation was
quite characteristic of the bigoted and intolerant Unita-
rian. It was to the following effect, " that being a
Dissenter, and as it was the first Sunday of his official
career, he preferred going to his own place of worship."
We hope that the Protestant electors of Liverpool will
remember this additional insult to their feelings. If
Mr. Bolton imagines that he can with impunity thus
set at defiance an old established custom to which the
great majority of the erectors attack so much impor-
tance, we can assure bim.that he knows little of the
spirit of the people of Liverpool. They will not tamely
submit to such a degradation. The hatred thus mani-
fested towards the Church of England, on the part of
the mayor of Liverpool, will only tend to hasten the
day when the Town Council shall be purged of every
Unitarian, and every' enemy of the church, among its
members.

Our present publication contains an advertisement
announcing that application is intended to be made to
Parliament, in the ensuing session, for leave to bring
in a bill, or for leave to introduce clauses into any bill
relating to the Liverpool Docks, which may be depend-
ing in Parliament during the ensuing session, for ex-
empting all vessels entering into or departing from the
Port of Liverpool, and consigned or trading to or from
Runcorn, from payment of tonnage rates and other
rates and duties now payable to the trustees of the Li-
verpool Docks. This notice emanates from the agents
of the Bridgewater Trust, and we have no doubt that
it will be warmly supported by the landholders of
Cheshire, and by other influential interests.
The proposed application, there can be very little
doubt, has originated in the bungling and temporising
policy pursued by the Dock Committee and the Corpo-
ration, with reference to the bill which was placed be-
fore Parliament last session. The question involved in
the application is one of the last moment to the inter-
ests of this port. The Dock Committee ought to di-
rect their immediate attention to this matter. While
they are wasting the public money in the pursuit of

the Dock Warehouse phantasm, the, lasting welfare of
Liverpool is likely to be sacrificed. Is it possible that
they are acting in concert with the parties who are seek-
ing to exempt Runcorn from the impost of town dues ?

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 12.

An uninterrupted dullness has reigned in our market the whole
of this week, and the prices of all descriptions of Butter may be
noted 2s to 3s per cwt lower. The chief cause of this depression
is attributable to the present difficult position of monetary affairs,—
such position we take leave to say, being the undoubted effect of
the pusillanimity of her Majesty's Ministers, in permitting " Re-
peal of the Union" to be agitated by an English-hateiug,—Radical.
loving, Irish demagogue, with impunity ;—and of the extraordi-
nary and puerile propensity which these incapables possess for
Little Wars in all parts of the world. How much longer will the
commercial community submit to the infliction of their baneful
rule, without some intelligible expression of indignation ?
Recent accounts from Brazil state that French Butter had made
its appearance abundantly, and that prices of Irish had experienced
a serious decline. The nominal currency of pickled seconds,-here,
to-day is 92s ; but we have reason to believe that an offer of 3s to
4s less money would not be refused.
We have no alteration to notice in the value of Beef or Pork.
The trade remains excessively dull. The top price of Bacon is 543.

Alderman EVANS rose, as the regular business was about
to be commenced, and said—Before we proceed, I should
like to address the council on what affects them as well as

ceedings of this council are reported. I admit that, gene-

THE HEALTH OF THE TOWN.

The subject brought forward arthe last two Council meet-
ings, by Mr. Case, the conservative member for Vauxhall
Ward, is perhaps the most important which has ever excited
the attention of that body. It is now an established fact,
that of the population of this great borough about 43,000
inhabitants reside in damp and unwholesome cellars, and
60,000 in badly ventilated, and almost equally unhealthy,
courts—the whole constituting nearly one-half of the entire
population of Liverpool. Taking these facts into considera-
tion, it is matter of little surprise that the average rate of
mortality in Liverpool is greater than in any other large town

in the empire.
It is not, however, merely in relation to its effects upon the
health of our population that the subject is of importance;
but it becomes as well a question of serious interest as re-
gards the moral and religious welfare of the lower classes of
our fellow-townsmen. It is well known that nothing is more
conducive to the spread of vice and irreligion than a want of
the blessings of free air, arising from overcrowded, habita-
tions. It is well known that the great mass of crime and
wretchedness in all large towns is located in those portions of
them which are the worst ventilated and the most impervious
to the public eye. In addition to the facilities thus offered

for drunkenness, uncleanly habits, breach of the Sabbath, and
secret immorality, ill-health is of itself, amongst the lower
classes especially, a fertile sou lee of dissipation—dissipation
resorted to in order to lull the sting of bodily suffering and
drown the warnings of mental agony.
We do trust that the committee appointed to investigate
this subject will not separate without finding some remedy to
mitigate the evils of the present state of things. We see
much difficulty attendant upon it; but, if the inquiry is en-
tered upon in a proper spirit, we do not despair of a remedy
being discovered. We shall have to combat a strong princi-
ple—the love of gain on the part of owners of the soil and of
property ; but the good of the community requires that a
sacrifice should be made, and it must and ought to be sub-
mitted to cheerfully.

THE HARRINGTON DOCK COMPANY.
IVOTIOE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that Application is
-LI intended to be made to Parliament, in the ensuing
Session, for an Act to alter, amend, extend, and enlarge, or
to repeal some of the powers and provisions of an Act passed
in the third and fourth years of the reign of her present
Majesty Queen Victoria, intituled "An Act to enable the
Harrington Dock Company to sue and be sued in the name
of any Member or Officer of the said Company, and to ex-
empt all Vessels using the Docks belonging to the said Com-
pany, and all Goods shipped or discharged therein, or on the
Estate of the said Company, from the payment of certain
Rates, Tolls, or Duties to the Trustees of the Liverpool
Docks ;" and to repeal the clause in the said recited Act,
restraining the said Company, or any other person or persons,
from erecting Warehouses within the limits therein men!
tioned ; and it is also proposed, by the said intended Act, to
make provisions for regulating the use of the Docks and
other Property belonging to the said Company, and for car-
rying on the business of the same ; and for more easy re-
covery of the Rates, Tolls, and Duties which shall be
demanded by the said Company, either under the authority
of the said intended Act or otherwise, on all Vessels and
their Cargoes using their said Docks and other Property ;
and to enable the said Company to raise more money fo- the
purposes of their undertaking. And it is also prop. sal, by
the said intended Act, to incorporate the said Company with
power to hold Lands and levy Tolls on all Vessels using the
said Docks, or their cargoes, and with such other powers as
may be necessary for the purpose of carrying out the objects
of the said recited Act, and the general purposes of the said 1
Company.—Datad the ninth day of November, 1840.

Clerk of the said Company.

INDIA

WAR WITH NitrAuL.—A report has reached the station
—and one apparently well founded—that government have
offered certain terms to the Nepaulese court, upon the rejec-
tion or acceptance of which depends the question of peace
or war. As these gentlemen are, however, just now in rather
a pugnacious humour, their voice will probably be for war.—
Agra Ukhbar.

SEPTEMBER 10.—We have from a source upon which the
utmost reliance may be placed, that the Nepaulese have
acceded to the terms of our government, but that govern-
ment has determined upon forming an army of demonstra-
tion along their frontier. It is to consist of twelve regiments
of native infantry, and two companies of artillery, and will
assemble at Moozuffupoor, Tirhoot, towards the end of
November.

This demonstration is, of course, made to bind the Ne-
paulese to their engagements, and should more decided pro-
ceedings be necessary, the army of observation will be in-
creased by the Queen's 21st, 31st, and 62nd regiments, and
the 2nd Europeans. The orders announcing this movement
will appear in a short time.
The preparations of the supreme government in sending
troops towards the Nepaulese frontiers, arise not from any
apprehension of immediate warfare, but from the wish not
to be taken unawares, in case of any hostile movements on
the part of our neighbours. That little reliance can be
placed on the good faith and sincerity of the court of Kat-
maudoo is evident from experience. It is therefore suited
to a line of prudent policy, to be prepared for any dangers
that may occur, in case the Emperor of China should think
proper to issue his commands to his army to march into
IsTepaul, and to invade the British territory.
Troops are everywhere through Western and North West-
ern India on the march for Beleechistan and Upper Scinde.
500 Poonah horse have been ordered to hold themselves in
readiness. A division of Golundauze, two troops of Horse
Artillery, two squadrons of the 4th Dragoons, and the 3d
Native Cavalry, have been ordered to take the field. The
cavalry brigade is to be commanded by Colonel Fendall, while
Colonel Valiant takes command of a brigade of infantry. It
is said also that the 2d or Queen's Royals and the Ist Cavalry
have been ordered from Deesa. On Monday afternoon the
Hugh Lindsay steamer left for Curachee with 158 men of the
40th, and the Cleopatra will sail in a few days with the Bth
Regiment of Native Infantry. Her Majesty's 41st have been
ordered from Belgaum, and the 31st Native Infantry has re-
ceived orders to hold itself in readiness.—Bombay Times.

Movements on the northern frontiers are not less active
than around Bombay. A letter dated Cabul, August 16, in-
forms us that the 43d Native Infantry was on its march for
Quettah, where the force previously existing consisted of 800
bayonets, two Horse Artillery guns and 100 of Christie's
Horse. The 48th Native Infantry had been ordered for Ca-
bal.—Bombay Times.
