Providence aud Worcester Railroad.
The ANNUAL MEETING of the Providence and
Worcester R. R. Corporation, was held at the
companys Hall, on Monday, Feb 2, 1851
In calling the meeting to order, the President,
Welcome Farnum, Esq, stated that the affairs of
the Corporation were in highly prosperous con-
dition, that, as would be seen by the Annual Re-
port, the road had earned, during the last year,
per cent on its capital, from which, dividends of
per cent had been paid, the whole floating debt
of the Company amounting to S38, 46l 90 had been
extinguished, and, when the last dividend of per
cent. was paid, it left cash unexpended in the
Treasury. In his opinion, if the road was we'll
managed it might pay 10 per cent. the current
year, and remain. permanently a.Aq ersssur. Stock
In opinion, it possessed advantages as pay
ing road, over any other in New England.
A Committee was then appointed to receive, as
sort and count the votes for Directors for the year
ensuing
The meeting was Of very different character
from those of several preceding years, when there
was a full attendance, excited speaking, and fire.
quently, contested elections. The present meet
ing was thin, and without any excitement This
is owing, undoubtedly, to the prosperous state of
affairs. While the Committee, above referred TO-
were engaged in'their duties, Christopher Robin
son, Esq, (Attorney General of Rhode 1sland),
addressed the Chair, and suggested that some
measures should be adopted to increase the inter-
est of the stockholders and bring them out to the
meetings. He proposed that the Directors should
withhold dividends till after the Annual Meeting,
which, in his opinion, would have the effect to fill
the Hail. After some other humorous remarks, he
called upon Joel W. White, Esq, of Norwich, to
sing a Fremont song Mr. White responded to
this CALL as other singers sometimes do, to an en-
core, by giving something else than what was
called for. He spoke of the excellent manage
ment of the road, as contrasted with what it had
been at former periods, of its great local ad
vantages as profitable investment, and of its
bright prospects for the future if the policy which
now prevails in its management is persevered in.

votes renorted that

ANOTHER INFANTIoIDB -On Sunday last the
Police of this city arrested man named Samuel
Gleason, on suspicion that he had murdered a
newborn child of a woman with whom he had
been cohabitiDg for some months past, named
Frances Hutchins, who is supposed to belong in
Chesterville, Me. It appears that the parties
have boarded, since August last, at the house of
Gleason's brother, in this city; that they occu-
pied the same room; that on Saturday or Sunday
last child was born of Miss Hutchins, and mys-
teriously disappeared. These circumstances be-
coming known to the Police, Gleason was arrest
ed, as we have stated, and after his arrest he
confessed TO the officers that the child was dead,
and that he had buried it in the snow in vacant
lot, about two miles from the centre of the city.
On being requested to point out the place of
burial, Gleason consented, and in company with
several police officers, he proceeded to do so, and
the body was found in field about half mile
northeast Of the house Of Henry PIentiss, by this
side of stone wall, covered with snow and
stones removed from the wall. The body was
brought to,the city and placed in the custody Of
Coroner Day, who summoned jury of inquest
yesterday. The medical testimony showed that
the child was born alive, and the jury returned a
verdict that it came to its death by some violent
means, to the jury unknown, at the hands Of
Samuel Gleason. Gleason was accordingly COM
mitted to the county jail, to await trial on the
charge of murder.

MURDER IN NEW YoRK.-Harvey Burdell,
adentist in Bond street, New York, was found
murdered in his bedroom on Saturday. He
had been strangled, and was stabbed in fifteen
places. The perpetrators of the crime are un.
known.
The deceased owned the house in which
the murder was committed, but it was leased
to Mrs. Cunningham, and he occupied two
or three rooms.
A bloody dagger and loaded revolver are
said to have been found on Sunday, in one of
Mrs. Cunningham's bureau drawers The
dagger is said to have belonged to Eckle, one
of Mrs. Cunningham's boarders, of whom DR..
Burdell was Jealous. Eckle and Snodgrass
another of Mrs, C's boarders, are in custody,
as also is Mrs. c., awaiting the result of the
coroner's investigation. Burdell was quite
wealthy, In October last, he was privately
married to Mrs Cunningham, which was by
agreement of parties to have been kept Sc
cret until June next
The New York Herald of Sunday. gives
the following particulars of the murder Of Dr.
Burdeu. 1t says:
Z" From post mortem examination of the
body made by DIR. Weltje aud others, it ap-
pears that the lungs were found highly in
Hated with air, which would go to show that
stranguation had been used as a means of
destroying the life of the deceased. His
tongue was also found to be protruding some
distance from his mouth, whick also proved
that the deceased had been suffocated. In the
heart were found two wounds, one in the
ventricle and the other in the auricle.
The lungs were also cut also the carotid
artery and first vertebra, There were fifteen
incised wounds upon the body, all of which
were deep, and appeared to have been made
with very narrow bladed instrument
There did not appear to be any injuries on the
head. Around the neck there was a slight
discoloration of the skin, as though the de.
ceased had been seized by the throat while
the murderer was plunging the knife with IA
tai dexterity into the body of his victim.
TheAroom where the murder was commit
ted was the reception room and Office of the
deceased. The death struggle appears to have
taken place in the corner of the room nearest
the door, for here the walls are stained with
sucaks and spots of blood. 1t was here, too,
that the jugular vein was severed, for there
is perfect stream Of gore upon the wall in
the corner of the room.
Mrs. Burdell says that her husband never
kept any money in the house; that he always
deposited in the bank, so there does not APP
pear to have been any incentive to robbery in
the commission of this most foul and cruel
murder. Moreover, none of the deceased S
papers we're discovered to have been touched.
Everything was in order, so that the pre-.
sumption that he might have been murdered
by burglars is entirely out Of the question.
DR.. Burdell was, we understand, quite a
wealthy man, being possessed of $4,000 in
stocks and real estate"

CITIZENS OF NEW YoRK HELD IN SLAVERY
Governor King sent message to the Legislature
on Saturday, concerning two men, citizens OF
New York, who are now held in slavery in the
Southern States One of them, named Henry
Dixon, was citizen of Rochester,, where he
maintained good character While on his way
home from Washington he was kidnapped and
sold to man named Dean, of Macon, Ca, by
whom he was sold. and his whereabouts is now
unknown. The other is named Charles CRANKY,
but nothing definite is known of his case. The
Governor makes no suggestion as to the action
proper TO be taken, except to pay expenses al
ready incurred
