RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The direct-
ors of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction
railways are in treaty with government for the formation
of the Chester and Holyhead line, and also for the work-
ing of the packet service between Holyhead and Kings-
town.

The Orleans Railroad Company has set an excellent
example. It has opened, under the direction of its chief
engineer, Mr. Clarke, a course of lectures on the ele-
ments of locomotive machines, for the instruction of per-
sons employed in the machinery department of the com-
pany.

THE BURY AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY.—The usual
notices have been given for the construction of a railway
between Bury and Manchester, and between Rawtenstall
(six miles from Burnley) and Bury, and to whic) it is
probable, or rather certain, that no opposition will be
offered. The estimated expense is about £250,000.
RAILWAY TO ENGLAND.—The subscriptions here are
proceeding rapidly—nearly £lOO,OOO having been sub-
scribed since the meeting of the company about a month
ago. If the parties continue to exert themselves in the
same vigorous way for a few weeks longer, they will be
quite in a condition to apply to parliament at the com-
mencement of the session.—Edinburgh Paper.

-LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY.—On Wednesday
morning a special general meeting of the proprietors of
this company was held at the committee-room of the
London station, to consider the propriety of extending the
line to Epsom. The chairman proposed the following
resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that
it would be of great advantage to the shareholders of this
company, and to the public generally, that a railway shall
be formed from the London station to the town of Epsom."
Mr. Fitch seconded the resolution, which, after some dis-
cussion, was carried. Another resolution, ernpowe►ing
the directors to make application to parliament, and to
take whatever measures might appear desirable, was also
agreed to.

OPENING OF THE HUNT'S BANK STATION AND EX-
TENSION LINE OF THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS
RAILWAY.-ThiS station, which is within sight of, and
not five minutes' walk from, the Manchester Exchange,
will be opened on Monday next, New Year's Day ; on
and after which day, the present station in Lees-street,
Oldham-road, will be closed for passengers, and be
wholly appropriated to goods and cattle. A passenger,
&c. station is also to be opened at the Miles Platting
junction (of the extension with the main line,) for the
convenience of parties living in the neighbourhood of
Failsworth, Hollingwood, and Newton Heath, from
whence a train is to start for Hunt's Bank every half-
hour, from eight morning till half-past eight evening.
Refreshment and dining rooms are to be opened at the
Hunt's Bank station.

RAILWAY LOANS.—A good deal of attention bas been
directed in the city circles to the announcement which
has been issued by the Manchester and Leeds Railway
Company, that they are ready to receive a limited num-
ber of loans at 31 per cent., in sums of not less than
£lOOO each, repayable at any time, on giving twenty-one
days' notice. Persons seeking temporary investments
have thus a security equally available A ith an Exchequer
bill, with the further advantage of returning a larger in-
terest to the holder. As the example of the Manchester
and Leeds Company will no doubt be followed by other
companies, it may be as well to warn the public to exa-
mine for themselves into the character and means of every
railway body before incrusting their money in their hands.
This should not be omitted even in the case of the Man-
chester and Leeds, which, however, we suppose, is will-
ing to submit to the most rigid scrutiny. The Manches-
ter and Leeds profits in the present half-year will enable
the directors to declare a dividend at the rate of seven per
cent., after leaving a reserve fund of £20,000. The gua-
rantee of so powerful and wealthy a company must, we
should think, be unquestionable. We have, indeed, no
doubt whatever that, in the present state of the money
market, such an opening for temporary investment will
be eagerly seized by many persons.—Standard.

" ALL FOR OURSELVES IN THIS WORLD."—At the
Stockport meeting of the friends to the liberation of Mr.
Oastler, Mr. Ferrand had to mention that noisy free-
trader. Mr. George Wilson, the chairman of the Anti-
Corn Law League ; and he took the opportunity of relating
an anecdote of that worthy gentleman, which will go down
in the history of agitation side by side with the celebrated
saying of the coffee-speculating Manchester. Mr. 'Wilson
is a starch-manufacturer. When Sir Robert Peel pro-
posed to reduce the duty on foreign starch, Mr. Wilson
got together a meeting of the starch makers of the district,
and the result was the sending of Mr. Wilson at the head
of a deputation to. London, to induce the prime minister
to forego his intention as to the duty on foreign starch.
Here we have a brilliant sample of League free-trade ad-
vocates. What Mr. Wilson wants is obvious enough.
"We are all for ourselves in this world." The chairman
of the League would bring in foreign corn, duty free, that
he may have a cheap material for his starch, but he ob-
jects to a competition with the foreign starch-manufac-
turer, because that would bring down the price of Mr.
Wilson's own article.

CONCLUSION OF THE GREAT CHESS MATCH.—This
celebrated match was terminated on Wednesday morn-
ing, by Mr. Staunton, the English champion, winning the
11th game, and thus concluding the wager for the best
out of 21. The battle commenced early on Tuesday
morning, and M. St. Amant appeared in great force, and
directed so well-combined an attack, that at three o'clock,
in the opinion of a crowded and scientific audience, he
was likely to prove the winner. The struggle was then
postponed for an hour, and recommenced at four, when
Mr. Staunton contrived, with admirable skill, to destroy
by degrees the formidable position of his adversary. In
this state the game was conducted till midnight, Mr. S.
pursuing his advantage with industrious activity, and M.
St, Amant in vain trying to recover the ground which he
so advantageously opened in the morning. At midnight
the battle was again postponed, to be renewed on Wed-
nesday, an increased interest being given to it by the turn
fortune or skill had taken against M. St. Amant. The
room was crowded on Wednesday morning, and the com-
batants set to work highly excited by the presence of so
many distinguished amateurs. Victory, however, de-
clared, after a short struggle, for our countryman, who
won in masterly style, after an engagement of two hours
—making the duration of this game 14 hours. M. Des-
chapelles, who for so long a period has given up chess-
playing, ir, desirous of trying his skill with Mr. Stalin_! ton, but he %%ill not do so unless for a very considerahle
t stake. He offers, it is said, to raise 10,000 fra,cs (4:40n)

erous fr

me, provided Mr

sans can muster money to equal the amount.

GENERAL MISCELLAN Y

EDUCATION IN JAMAICA.—Mr. Russell has given no-
tice of a bill to establish a college in this island.
PRECOCITY.—A boy, " Master Arther Harvey, from
the Royal Adelaide Gallery," aged eight years, has been
lecturing at Bath, on the subject of Astronomy.
It is rumoured in military circles that the colonelcy of
the Ist Royals, vacant by the death of the late lamented
veteran Lord Lynedoch, will be given to General Sir G.
Murray, the Master-General of the Ordnance.
THE LATE DUEL.—We are assured that Lieutenant
Munro, who has recovered from his late indisposition,
will surrender to take his trial at the next sessions of the
Central Criminal Court.—Morning Chronicle.
LIEUT. MuNßo.—The sale of this gentleman's effects
has been stopped by Mr.Wakley, the coroner, who claims
a power over them in consequence of the verdict of wilful
murder at the inquest on Lieut.-Col. Fawcett.
AN AWKWARD ACCIDENT.—Last week a hackney-
coach and two horses backed into the water at Newhaven-
quay, near Edinburgh. The vehicle was damaged, but
unfortunately the poor animals were dro,.ned.
Mr. Baldwin, jun. of the Standard has, within the last
few days, become the purchaser of the Herald for, it is
said, the sum of £28,000, after having been ❑ibbling at it
for a considerable time past.
An alarming fire broke out on Tuesday night, in the
Guildhall, London, but was extinguished without serious
damage. A stone slab, beneath a patent stove, had be-
come red hot and had ignited the joists of the floor.
THE LEICESTERSHIRE MURDER.—The Grand Jury,
at the Leicestershire Assizes last week, ignored the bill
of indictment against John Messenger, la:mer, of Gad-
desby, for the wilful murder of his man-servant, James
Garner, at Whitsrintide last.
PROMOTION OF SIR ROBERT SALE.—With the excep-
tion of his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge,
this is, we believe, the only instance of a regiment being
bestowed upon any officer under the rank of Major-Gen-
eral.—Morning paper.

It is a very remarkable fact, that the imperial weekly
average price of wheat for the three weeks respectively
preceding the Bth instant, only varied one penny per
quarter—a steadiness of price at this season of the year
which affords little encouragement for gambling specula-
tions in grain.

It is rather a remarkable fact, that the imperial weekly
average price of wheat for the three weeks respectively
preceding the Bth instant, only varied one penny per qr.,
a steadiness of price at this season of the year which
affords little encouragement for gambling speculations
in grain. •

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE LORDS.—We are enabled
to state that the Duke of WellingtOn will, in the approach-
ing parliament as in last, act as the leader of the Upper
House, and that no intention exists, or has ever existed,
of anticipating Lord Stanley's elevation to the peerage by
the ordiniry process of succession.—Times.
PARRICIDE.—Jo,eph Dobson, aged 25, was indicted
at the York Assizes, on Tuesday, fur the wilful murder
of his father, at Mount Tabor, near Halifax, on the 4th
July last. The prisoner (as mentioned in our columns
at the time) deliberately shot the deceased, the gun having
once missed fire. He was left for execution.
TRIAL OF MRS. GILMOUR,—We learn that though
the Circuit Court sits in Glasgow this month fur the clear-
ing of the calender in the western district, the trial of
Mrs. Gilmour will not come on before that Court, but is
likely to take place before the High Court of Justiciary
at Edinburgh, about the middle of next month.—Cale-
donian Mercury.

THE BURGLARY AT SUTTON BONNINGTON.-At the
Nottingham Assizes, on the 18th instant, four men be-
longing to that town were indicted for a burglary, with
violence to the person, on the 27th October last, in the
dwelling-house of the Rev. Robert Meek. The circum-
stances of the outrage were detailed in our columns at the
time. The prisoners were all found guilty, and sentenced
to transportation for life.

SAM WELLER.—This once celebrated horse, who has
won steeple chases and hurdle races, in the whole amount-
ing to 17, was recently sold for £1 10s. ! It will be re-
membered, that Mr. E. Herbert, of Powick, in Worces-
tershire, by whom he was bred, sold him for £7OO. The
horse is quite sound, and the Worcester chronicle says
he was purchased at Dixon's Repository, at Barbican, for
the above sum.

EATON SOCAN.—INCENDIARY FIRE.—O❑ Saturday
morning week, a fire was discovered blazing in the stack-
yard of Mr. J. Hall, an opulent farmer and corn-dealer;
and the whole, consisting of nine large stacks and hovels,
two of which were very large. containing upwards of 100
loads each, fell a sacrifice to the flames. The barns and
outbuildings were saved by the vigilance of the gentry in
the surrounding neighbourhood.

FAILURE AT DUNFERMLINE.—Mr. George Birrel, the
largest manufacturer of Table-linen in Dunfermline, has
suspended payment. His liabilities are said to be £50,000.
He employed neatly 2000 hands, with at least an equal
number of dependents—about one-fifth of the whole pop-
ulation of the town, so that unless some arrangement be
made for continuing his works, great suffering during the
winter will be felt by a large number of persons.

FIGHT FOR ONE HUNDRED POUNDS ASIDE.—TiIe
pugilistic encounter for £lOO aside between Tass Parker
and the Tipton Slasher, which was to have come off on
Tuesday last, yet remains undecided. The men met at
the appointed spot near Gravesend, accompanied by their
backers and a large number of their friends ; and, after a
few rounds of severe fighting, the brutal exhibition was
put a stop to by the prompt interference of the magis-
trate.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—On Wednesday night a tremen-
dous conflagration broke cut in the extensive oil-cloth
manufactory of Mr. Turner, situate at the back of
Charles-street, Northampton-square, Clerkenwell, which,
from the combustible nature of the materials used in the
factory, in a short time ended in the entire destruction of
the premises and stock-in-trade. Several houses conti-
guous were extensively injured. The loss is estimated at
nearly £3,000.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—ANOTHER BANK FAIL-
VAR.—We regret to state, that the old Banking Company,
lately carrying on busiuess in the names of Sir It. Bas-
sett, Roe, and Blachford, has declared its inability to meet
the demands of its creditors. The deposits are said to be
immense. Luckily there will not be so many sufferers
amongst the lower class of tradesmen in this instance, as
the firm has for some time ceased to issue promissory
notes.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO LORD INVERARY.—It is with
considerable regret that we have to record the death of
the abave-named nobleman. His lordship was on a visit
to his Grace the Duke of Montrose, at Salby Lodge,
Northamptonshire. On Saturday week he accompanied
the noble duke to a " meet " of the Pytchley hunt. In
the heat of the chase, his lordship's horse fell at a very
hazardous leap, when its rider was thrown underneath it,
and received such severe injuries, that, after lingering till
the following morning, he expired. Hir lordship was not
more than 23 years of age.

DEATH FROM TOSSING BY A BULL.—John Mellon, a
servant in the employ of Mr. T. Melhuish, of Cheriton
Fitzpaine, on last Friday evening went from his master's
house to drive home the cows and a bull. He was found
shortly afterwards leaning against a hedge, and on being
questioned he said he had been tossed by the bull. His
face was covered with mud and blood, and he was then
conveyed to the Bevon and Exeter Hospital, where he
continued in an insensible state until death relieved him
from his sufferings.—London paper.

THE DUKE DE BORDEAUX IN BIRMINGHAM.--On
Monday the Duke and suite were expected in Birming-
ham by the eleven o'clock train, and the Rev. Dr. Weed-
all, the Catholic bishop, and about half-a-dozen Catholic
ecclesiastics were in waiting at the station to receive him.
The Duke did not, however, arrive until half-past one
o'clock, when, in company with Dr. Weedall, he arid suite
departed for Oscott College, about five miles from the
town. On Tuesday the Duke de Bordeaux inspected the
principal manufactories in Birmingham.

THE LEAGUE.—The Anti-corn Law League have com-
menced operations in Sunderland this week in good ear-
nest. On Tuesday the post-office people were alarmed
by the arrival of some huge bags by the London mail,
which, on being opened, were found to contain between
five and six thousand copies of the League newspaper,
addressed to inhabitants of Sunderland. The poor letter
carriers were engaged to a late hour on Tuesday evening
in delivering the valuable packets, and up to Wednesday
noon they had not got through heir labours.—Sunder-
land paper. [This is an indecent speculation in antici-
pation of the death of Earl Grey, but the League sticks
at nothing.]

EATING LUCIFER MATCHES.—An inquest was held on
Thursday, in Stonehouse, on the body of a fine little girl,
aged two years and a half. The child had been playing
with a box of lucifer matches, and had bit of the heads of
four or five of them. Immediately after it was taken ill,
and died in a few hours. The surgeon proved death was
occasioned by the poison which had been taken in eating
the matches, which was corroborated by the manufacturer
admitting the deleterious nature of the composition used
to cause ignition.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEMPT By A FEMALE PEDES-
TRIAN.—Such a feat as was never before attempted by
any woman in the world, is now Performing upon the
Leeds and Whitehall-road, Wortley, near the house of
Mr. James Wilkinson, by Mrs. Harrison, namely, that
of walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 successive hours, and in
all probability will be accomplished ; she performed
one-third of her feat on Saturday week. Bets run in
her favour, but much will depend upon the weather ;
however, she is in good health and spirits, and likely to
surmount every difficulty.

THE PORT OF HULL.—Business has scarcely ever been
remembered so brisk as at the present period. During
the past week there left this port 108 vessels. Of these
44 were in ballast, 17 were steam-packets with goods and
period 104 ves-
passengers, and the remainder laden with wool, linseed
oil, and seed cake, &c. During the same
sets entered this port, including five in ballast, and 16
steam-packets. The principal importations during the

ACCIDENT FROM A PRINTING MACIIINE.—Mr Richd.
Newcombe, proprietor of the Stamford Mercury, met
with a serious accident by getting his hand entangled in
the works of the machine, on Thursday night week,
during the printing of the
paper. We understand he was
in the act of rul;hing something
