NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —l.lvEßrosm., Avocsr 10 As D 11. Nisi Prism Court.—(Before Mr. Justiee Mellor.) LEINTIOLLE T. PATON-SANE r—tar - ACTION AGAINST THE CAPTAIN Dr Till GREAT EASTERN FOR ALLEGRO FALAZ 111PROIONMENT • • The first of these actions was against Captain Welter Pekoe, the commander of the Great Eastern steamship : the sseend us against Mr. L. Archdeacon, the parser, and they were tried together, out of turn, to enable the big ship to leave the Mersey on Wednesday. The record charged an assault and imprisonment in an ill outdated place on board ship, for which damages were claimed ; and there were counts in trover and &tisane for goods ad money, to which pleas were entered of not guilty, never indebted, &c. ; • special plea that the first aimed defendant was in command of the ship, and that the plaintiff, as steward on board, extorted money from the passengers ; and • plea of justification, namely, that the plaintiff being suffering from delirium tremens, it was necessary, in order to prevent him doing mischief to him self and others, to put him under restraint. It appeared that in May last the plaintiff, who had been a steward in the Inman line and other steamships, signed articles as (hist steerage steward on board the Great Eastern, at the ante of It. a month. He commenced duty on the 2nd of that month, and on the 13th sailed in the ship, which had 1,020 passengers on board, of whom 500 were in the stowage, for New York. The muter-at-arms. on the 20th ray. summoned him before Captain l'aton, charged with *alerting money from passengers. After the inter view he was removed to a place near one of the paddle loxes, clue and ill-ventilated, where he was put in confine gunk Next day, at eleven o'clock, he was again summoned before Captain Paton. The charge was repeated, and the plaintiff, who dinged its truth, was ordered to be kept in dose confinement until he could be taken before the British Omen' at New York. Mr. Archdeacon and the chief officer were directed to see the plaintiff searched and put in coo lownent. On this being attempted, plaintiff said, " Haul lest whet you are doing. It's as great an offence to rob a 31311 M of his money on the high seas as it is on shore." The chief mate thereupon went away. Three petty officers were called to the aid of the parser and muterwtarms ; by force the plaintiff's pure and money were taken from him; after this he was left in confinement until May 23, when, having suffered in health, he was examined by the doctor, who ordered disinfecting fluid to be used in the place used as • prison, released from imprisonment, and pet to do mull work. Plaintiff, sou to preclude a charge of insubordioa ties, did this work until arrival at New York on the 27th,1 sad on the return voyage to Liverpool, where he was paid his wages at 5/. • month, without deduction. In cress•examination he admitted the receipt of about If. in gratuities, not extorted, for putting pentagons into better berths. Witnesees spoke to the plaintirs sobriety, and the chief steward, Ming, proved that Luttrell did his duty pro putty before the imprisonment, and afterwards appeared %tally unfit for work. TN; Attorney-Geiaial of the county palatine (Mr. Ed ward James, Q. 0.)., on the part of the plaintiff, condemned the captain's illegal exercise of authority. Mr. Brett. Q. 0., replied that the question wan whether W captain should bare authority to put an end to the mid• practice of fleecing emigrants of their last shilling, and to propene discipline in a crew of 420 men. His Lordship denied that this was the isms on the record, which was whether the captain should have authority to imprimis the man. lie added that he should read the plea to the jury, and ask them whether it had bees proved. Oaptain Paton was examined, and he deposed to eliciting that 511.3 a. bad been levied upon 23 passengers, in sums verying from 2.5. 6d. to 11., and that the poison used wax an eriesary state room on the middle deck. He had the money Wended. The punier gave corroborative evidence for the defendant ; cod Mr. F.. P. Jones, the surgeon , proved that the plaintiff led suffered from delirittni tremens, producing his daily medical reports to that effect. Mr. Brett, Q.C., made an eloquent defence of the captain. who, he asserted, had only exerted his lawful authority for the general good of the passengers, whom it was his duty to protect from extortion or ill-treatment on the part of his *Moors acid t raw. At the suggestion of the learned judge, a juror was with drawn in the action against the purser. After Mr. Deighton had replied, His Lordship, in summing up, said the considerations pre sented on both sides were of the deepest importance, not duly to Liverpo3l, but to every emigrataire port. A eaptain was entitled to do everything necessary for the preservation et order and discipline and the safety of the ship, crew, sad passengers ; he had no authority to punish, se Captain Paton had himself stated ; and the jury would say whether the captain bad acted bona fide ...a reasonably, or harshly and oppressively ; if he had punished when he was only entitled to restrain and prevent —a very material matter to keep to view with reference to the damages—and if the material allegations in the plus were proved. It was vary important as regards the interests of the public and the crews of ships, that acts of injustice sad tyrannrshould be heavily visited, when made out, but sets but L& honest, even if mistaken, should be visited in a vary differsat manner, and in that cue the jary would net weigh the conduct of the captain in very nice scales. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on the first and Ward pleas—diuna7,es a farthing ; on the second plea— damages 40r., besides the 4f, lies sd. taken from the THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE ./ofin ward, described as a tailor, was broaght before Aldermao Sir Robert Carden, eharged with steak% • parcel containing a piece of Moen cloth, value St. 55., from tbe warehouse of Hessra.W. and T. Dorm and Bantam*, 43. Caononalvert, warehousemen. Police-constable Whitney, 497, an officer in private clothes, was in Cannonstreet on the previous day, aod, from information be received, be stopped opposite the warehouse of the prosecutors, and saw the prisoner standing on the door step. He watched him, and saw him go into the warehouse, and in a few momenta be cams oat carrying a parcel in front of him. He followed the prisoner as far as Old Nth -street, where he stopped him, and asked him where he was going to take the parcel, acd he ,aid, over the water to Surrey -street. He asked him where he got it from ; and ■eaaid from the aide door of the warehouse round the owner. The officer said he would show him where he got it from, and took him back to the warehouse of the prom:n eon, and the parcel was identified by Mr. Nicholson, one of the warehousemen. The prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. W ESTMEN.ISITM. Crowds of persons connoted throughout the whole of Neoday . to the Broadway and Chapel•treet, Westminster, aad again assembled yesterday morning, there being much emeation caused by the removal of the market from that part which had been permitted from time immemorial. The commissioner of police ten days ago issued an edict that the whole of the standiogs should be removed by Monday, sod as hundreds of persons are by this said to be deprived of the means of obtaining an honest living, and the aged of them necessarily driven so a workhouse, the greatest sym pathy prevails in their behalf. The occurrence gave cause to the following charge : William Pearson was charged with being disorderly, sad causing a crowd to assemble in Greet Chapel-street, Weetmiester. A policeman proved that defendant was distributing bills le Chapelttreet ois Monday night, and collected • very begs crowd of penons. Defeedset said he could not help it they got round him. The bills having been shown to the magistrate, Mr. Arnold said—Nobody has • right to collect • crowd. It does not matter whether it is by the distri bution of billy , the exhibition of Punch end Judy, or by preaching ; and anybody causing a crowd is bound to move op when told. The notice to remove these stalls appear. to have created a great stir. More attention has lose p..id to others than to what I have repeatedly said. I lave aim planned of the thoroughfare being obstructed, hut MO regsid,bas berm poid'to it. I must say that although I have spoken of the impropriety of allowing the wrests to be so stopped up, I think it is • great hardship that the poor persons who have stood there with their stalls so many years should be now removed and deprived of th e w ee ps of obtaining • living. After the existence of so long • Mending persons should not have been removed, but as they died out their places should not have been filled up. It is entirely owing to the neglect of the police that it has been /motioned. Defendant was discharged on entering into his own re eognisancel .o keep the peace. A young Joao applied to the maghtrate for advice sad ea shim= antler the following circumstances : He said that he unfortunately had a little misunderstood imt with his wife no Monday night, and before entering their boom be pushed her away. They then went into their room, whew in COO/ 4400D00 of his wife's misbehaviour he struck her, sad then his wife, although there was not the least as. esseity for it, called "Murder ." when a roes mimed blokes lane sad forced his way in and moat disgracefully ioterfered, whoa applicant told him that be could settle hie affairs without anybody coming to his awistance. Mr. Arnold—Could beat your wife Applicant—Yes ; but I only struck her that once. Mr. Arnold —She was calling " Murder!" Applicant—Mere was not the least necessity for her doing so. She only called it once. Mr. Arnold—And then this man came ? Applicant—yes ; and he forced his way in at my door, and when I told him that I could settle my private affairs without him be paid no attention to me, and upon my threatening to defend myself if he intruded into my room he absolutely came inside my door, and seising a wish-hand basin which might have cost • matter of three or four ebilliap threw it at me. lt, however, missed me and went through the window. Mr. Arnold—Did you know anything of him before? Applicant—No. Mr. Arnold—The origin of all this was your boating your wife, and her calling, " Murder. " Applicant—Yea, it began at that. Mr. Arnold—A man hears a cry of "Murder" from • woman, and goes to her assistance. You can take your complaint to the county court foe trespass and damage, and the probable result, if you are successful, is that the judge will give you a farthing damages. Applicant left very much &satisfied. WORSHIP-STREET. John Lee, landlord of the Pews of Wales beer-shop. Old Nicholl-street, Shoreditch, and Joke Jarkson, described as a carver and gilder, of Market-street, Liverpool, were charged on re-examination before Mr. Cooke, with being in possession of a quantity of crushed and broken plate, and several gold watches, seals, keva, chains, and other articles. Witnesses from Leicester, Newark, sod Oxford, whose houses had been broken open and robbed, identified many of the articles as their property, and a gold watch won iden tified by a gentleman living in Leicester. from whom it had been stolen while he was making an excursion to Not tingham. The magistrate refused bail, and committed the prim°. ners for trial. THE EXPEFSS, WEDNFSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1863. National Government would charter the vessel as soon as it was ready, and defray all expenses. He said the volunteers would be &Wed on board the vessel. The corporal asked for a few more copies of the circular, as he knew of several young men in his corps who hail expressed wish to join. Defendant gave him three or four copies, and then the two young men went away. He desired them as they were leaving to return as soon as possible, and bring the other young men with them. After they had gone defendant asked me to fill up the form (the description roll) with my name, age, employment, con stitution, weight, iko. I smiled at the request, but I com plied with it. lie then asked me to assist him in enclosing and addressing some of the circulars and letters, with the description rolls, of which be had a book-fell, is readiness to send out. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Had been out of em ployment for the last year. Had formerly been master of two schools in Wales—one at Abetuyon. Had been clerk for a short time since then. Had been M com munication with the Hassan consul respecting this matter, but had never been promised, nor did he expect, any pay or reward for what he had done. Re-esamined—hfr. Talbot, M. P., knew witness, and could testify to his character. The reason why he had not been employed during the last twelve months wee that he had been in the Consumption kf oepitaL Frederick Harvey, riO, Queen-street, Pimlico. brass finisher, deposed that be saw the advertisement in the newspaper, and answered it, and received one of the circulars produced, in consequence of whirl he went to the office in Buckingham-street, Strand, and saw defendant there. Be fore going there—namely, on the 27th July—he wrote to the Russian ambassador, and he also saw the Russian consul, and the solicitor to the Russian government. It was after these visits that he went to Buckinghametreet, taking th lope and circular with him, and also • statement respecting witness's character—a testimonial. Witness described the cenversations with defendant (similar to those with last witness, Gregory). He asked defendant what were the in. docements to go to Poland. He replied, " There are no very great inducements. We should have military cloth ing, the same pay as the National Government soldiers, with a share of the booty and prises. At the end of the war we should have six months' pay or a government situa tion." He said he wee going to Paris on Saturday, where they were doing the same thing. Witness was urged to reply by Saturday. He communicated what took place to the Russian embassy. Croarexamined—l have been nine mouths out of employ. I have had no pay, and expect Done. You may call me a military spy if you like. _ _ Win: Buck, warrant officer of the court, examined—On Tuesday, the 4th of August, I received the warrant pro duced for the apprehension of Lieutenant Styles I rioted the neighbourhood of Buckingham-street the same afternoon, and made other researches and inquiries, but did not suc ceed in apprehending him. I received information that he was not in town, but had gone to Paris. On Monday afternoon I heard of his return, and I went to the office in Buckinghametreet, where I saw the defendant, and appre heeded him. I told him I was an officer of Bow-street, and I described the charge. He replied that he did not know there was anything illegal in what he was doing. I took him to Bow-street, previously locking up the office, and having lodged him in custody, I returned to the office, and examined the papers. I produce the receipts for advertisements in the Times and Daily Telegraph, and the letters which I found upon the defendant, and also the papers which I afterwards found at the office. Mr. Poland now applied for a remand. Mr. Lewis contended that his client could not be detained under the prompt act, which was intended for the action of the English government only. Mr. Hall considered the act of • snore comprehensive nature, and was intended to embrace any enlistment for a "foreign service." Mr. Lewis said the whole case reminded him of the play of "Much Ado about Nothing," and as the same thing had been done before without interference from the government, the defendant thought he was doing no harm. Mr. Hall remanded the defendant, aid had the bail at 4004, and two sureties in 2001. each, or fear is 1001. each. THE FIRE ARD LOSS OF LIPS IN THE NEW NORTH-ROAD. Yesterday afternoon Mr. William Payne, coroner for the City of London, held an investigation at St. Bartho lomew's Hospital into the circumstances of the fire in Her bert-street, New North-road, on Sunday morning, by which Mary Anne Stabbings, aged 64 years, lost her life, and a woman in hericonfinement and the newly-born child were seriously burned. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the body of the deceased. Mrs. Ste phenson, a lodger, said deceased was in attend ance on Mrs. Solomon Reuben, as a monthly nurse, at No. IS, Herbert-street, New North-road. Mrs. Reuben was confined on Friday morning. On Sunday morn ing she heard loud screams, and upon rushing upstairs she saw the room apparently in flames. She did not go quite up to the room, but ran beck to secure bee own child. Mies Martha Reuben, niece to Mr. Reuben, said that she lived in the name house. Witness slept io the room above Mrs. Reu ben's, and on the Sunday morning she wss awoke by a great noise. She went down and saw smoke and flames in Mrs. Reubeu's room. She threw water into the room, and then dressed and ran out of the hones. Wilma; could not see who was in the room, but she heard deceased's voice. Alfred Barton, Cumberland-street, Hackney-road, said that deceased was • widow. She was insensible when he visited her in the hospital, and she gave no ac count of the accident. Burrows, 29 N. said that when he was carrying the deceased to the hospital in • cab she said, " My poor stomach—all this has happened through saving other people." She could hardly speak, and she gave no account of the way the fire originated. Mrs. Stepbensoo, recalled, said that on Sunday morning she visited the de ceased in the hospital, when she stated that she was about to get some brandy for Mrs. Reuben, and that the candle was standing on the table by the bed. The moving of the curtains, she thought, canted them to come into contact with the flame. Sbe said that if she got well she would be ruined for life, as people would never bays confidence in her again. The jury returned • verdict of " Accidental death." ENLISTING SOLDIERS FOR POLAND. Alfred Styles, a gentleman , about twenty-one years of age, was brought no yesterday, in the custody of William Beck, the warrant officer of the court, and charged before Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate of Bow-dgeet, with having unlawfully attempted and endeavoured to pro cure certain persons to enlist, serve, and to be employed as soldiers in the service and aid of certain foreign people—to wit, the " Poles, who are now in arms against and opposed to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia." Mr. Poland, barrister, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Lewis, of Ely-p Lice, for the defendant. Mr. Poised stated that he was instructed by the agents 'of the Russian government to prosecute the present arse. He could not gay at present if the government of this coun try intended to undertake the prosecution at • future period, but at preempt it was considered desirable to stop certain proceedings going OD in this country with • view to recruit the national army of Poland, and as it was impor tant to lose no time--time which would be necessarily em ployed in making inquiries and procuring evidence, if the arse were left to the crown—the Russian government had re solved to take action at once, and apply for a warrant against the defendant. The proceedings were taken under the well-known act, the 59th Geo. 111., c. 69, which made all parsons retaining or procuring others to enlist in foreign service guilty of a misde meanor, and punishable by fine or imprisonment. The Foams employed in this case was very simple, and ap parently pacific, for it took the form of an advertisement in the columns devoted to the wants of domestic servants, thus—" An engagement is open for several young men to proceed abroad. Applications by letter only, enclosing references as to respectability and present employment, to be addressed to 'L. Z.,' 36, Seething-lane, Great Tower street, E.C." Now, it appeared that this advertisement happened to be answ ered be • young man named John Gre gory, who had been a schoolesastar. and who, thinking this a favourablechance for him (he being then out of a situation) answered the edvertisement. To his surprise he received the "circular," which he would pi ',gutty read, inviting him to join the national army of Poland. He went to the office and saw the defendant, Mr. Styles, and he would detail the conversation which took place on that occasion. The ad vertisement had also been answered by another person, a Mr. Harvey, who would also say what had transpired in copse guano.. Upon the information of these witnesses a warrant was applied for against Mr. Styles, and he was taken at the ottice in Buckingham-street. Oddly enough the letter of Mr. Gregory was found in his paneseion, and also the re ceipt for the advertisements. The following was the " circular" which bad been sent to both the witnesses in reply to their application for situations as promised by the advertisement : " 10, Buckingham-street, Adelphi, Strand, W.C. "Sir,—ln reply to yours of the Zlrd inst., • few Eng lishmen have resolved to offer their services in aid of the Poles, now gallantly fighting to rescue their country from the tyrannical and despotic rule of Russia. It is intended to form a regiment of volunteers, ' composed of gentlemen, sons of tradesmen, clerks, arid others of respectability, who have offered their services to the national government —many who have seen hard fighting in Italy, under the pliant General Garibaldi, having already tendered their services ; and as unity is strength, the few who are required to make up the number will be immediately enrolled. An English general of great experience in the Crimea and Italy will be appointed to com mand, and all of from such volunteers as have seen service, or are otherwise fact, promotion to be made entirely from the ranks. The exclusive nature of the corps will admit of your joining without any detriment to your social position, and a description roll is enclosed, which I beg you will do me the favour to fiU up and forward at your earliest convenience, should the plan meet with your approbration. I shall also feel obliged by your enclosing one or two postage stamps, to cover the outlay of any future correapoudenoe. An immediate decision is expected from the National Government, who will provide every thing necessary for each volunteer, and further particulars can be obtained by applying perso nally at the above address any day between ten and eight o'clock. Permit me to suggest that on each interview you avoid discussion outside the office, or in or near the street, as a few may congregate and attract that attention which would excite the curiosity of the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood. In con clusion, let me impress upon you the necessity of not making this known to any but the pommel friends who sympathies with the cause, in which I hope you will soon be engaged.—l am, sir, your faithful servant, " Lieut. A. STYLES, late Gariladdian army." Mr. Poland then examined the following witnesses : Jobs Gregory, schoolmaster, 15,Lambethaquare—On the 22nd July last I was out of employ. I saw in a newspaper of that date theadvertisement produced, in consequence of which I wrote a letter in answer to it and left it at 36, Seething-lane, Great Toweeatreet. B.C. I believe I left it the next day, the `Gird. On the 27th, the following Mon day, I received • letter by post, or rather the printed docu ment now produced. It is • circular inviting me to an the Polish army, and coutaiaing also a description roll or form, with sperm to fill up my name, age, occupation, fro. Or. the woe day I went to Bucisitighamatreet, Strand, tekiig the description form, circular, mid envelope with me. I arrived at the office about laltpast ten, and I went into an office on the ground fluor. The name of the defend sat, "Mr. Styles," was inscribed on the door and at the side of the entrance. The defendant was there, and spoke to me, having said that he was the Mr. Styles who had answered my application. I told him I had called respecting the letter which he had addressed to me. He then said, "Come in." I went inside and laid the documents on the counter. I asked him for parti culars about the affair. He took me inside the curtain enclosure of the office. He said, "We are determined to go out as soon as we tan. We have already 250 men, and we wish to get about fifty or sixty more. They will be commanded by first-rate generals who have seen active service in Italy." He mentioned the names of Gemeral Forbes aid • General Madan—or some such name. I asked him whit autho rity he bad to raise a regiment for Poland. He re plied that he bad received a commission from the Polish general in Loudon, and he was going at the end of the week to see the Polish general in Paris on the rime business. I asked Lim why the Poles did not fight themselves. He said they could not afford to fight like the English at present., as they were only trying to harem the Russians and weaken them as much as pos sible, while a regular army was being organised. I asked if az; substantial Englishmen were connected with the move. moot. He said, " Yes, there are." At this moment the other young men came in, and the convention was for a time interrupted. The two strangers did not come within the curtain, but the defendant repeated pert of the conver sation he had been bolding with me. One of the young men told him be was a corporal in one of the volunteer artillery corps in Loodon, and he wished to take the same teak if he joined in the Polish struggle. Mr. Styles replied that be could not promise him so much, as a greet teeny who enlisted were very likely to be ignorant of "drill,' and he might be useful to them. The corporal then asked, "What would be the pay ?' Defendant replied, " The same as in the Polish army." He next asked what were the other conditions attached to the service. Defendant replied, " The National Govern ment will defray allexpenses, as they have plenty of money." In the coarse of the coovereation Lieutenant Styles told the young man that during the time he was in Italy he did very well, but he had two very great drawbacks there : one was, he went there very late, wad the other was that he was • prisoner there for eight months. The corporal asked how that was. He replied that the vessel he was in, with 800 others, was taken by the government. The corporal said, " How did you like the prison there?" He replied , " Not at all ; and he thought Russia would be worse.' I said, "Supposing the Polish struggle is unsuccessful, what is to become of the men who go out there?' He said, "If it came to the worst, the British oonsnl would take care to send them home, but he thought the gen tlemen in England who were interested in the movement would take care that it did not come to that." He said, "If we are successful, there will he a great deal of prise money given away, besides the advantage of seeing the grea ter por tion of Europe." He then urged the corporal to juin the expedition, as be would be • greet acquisition to the service. He said the volunteers were expected to sail in about nine days ore fortnight, but that he was going to Paris directly, and should know moreabout it when be returned. The young men asked where the vaned was to start from. The defend ant replied, he thought it would be hardly fair to tell that, as the Russian ambassador might fiod it out, and he might be served se he was before. He mid the 1 THE EDMONDS' MAIN COLLIERY CATASTROPHE. On Saturday three more bodies were recovered from the Edmonds' Main Colliery, the bodies being identi fied by their respective widows as Thomas Hammertan Ox terby, collier, Barosley, aged 50; Thomas Cawthorn, and Worebro' Dale ; and James Ellis, of Barnsley. The two first were found about 500 yards from the bottom of the shaft, in the fourth board-gate pest the first half-way on the south side of the mine ; the other was found in the bank level, them= distance from the bottom. The widows expressed a strong desire that an inquest should be held on the bodies. The inquiry took place on Monday before Mr. T. Taylor, coroner, Worebro' Dale. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to view two of the bodies —little more than mere skeletons. During the forenoon it was announced that five more bodies had been discovered, but they had not been positively identi fied. The following evidence was then taken : Mary Ellis, of Ward-green, deposed—l am the widow of Jame, Ellis, whose body now lies in Worsbro' church. He was thirty years of age. I last saw him alive on the morning of the Bth December. He said he was going to his work at the Edroond's Main pit. lam quite certain as to the identity of the body. I recognised it soon after he was got out, from his general appearance and the clothes ; also by a belt and a scarf he had round his body. The shape of hie body was somewhat eiognlar, and I was quite sure I could identify him directly be was got out. Mary Cawthorn, widow of Thomas Gawthorp, aged 33, burner another of the deceased men , d epose d that she last taw deceased alive on the Nth December, and next saw his body on the 13th August. She could identify him by a strap and a portion of his clothing. She bed not the slightest doubt about the Lody being that of her husband. EJizebeth Lister, widow of John Lister, of Barnsley, aged 41, identified her husband's body, which was found on the 16th of June, by the shape of his boots, which was peculiar, and also by his teeth, which were very remarkable. Hancah Oxterby, of Wortley-street, Barnsley, identi fied the body of her husband, Thomas H. Oxterby, aged 51, by his boots, stockings, sod trousers, which did not appear to have been scorched or burnt. After bearing the above evidence, the jury agreed to view the bodies that day discovered, but after proceeding a short distance were in formed that they could not be brought to the sulfate before two o'clock. On their return to the jury room, the coroner said it was not necessary to see the whole of the bodies ; the Man point was as to their identity, the pa rt of the pit in which they were found, and, as fax as could be suertaitied, the general state of the pit itself. The general impression arrived at was that it would be better to adjourn for a month or six weeks, when everything could be properly considered. The feeling on this point, in fact, appeared to be unanimous, and, after some opposition on the part of the Woraboro ' Dale jurors, it was agreed to adjourn until Thursday, the 10th of September. NARROW ESCAPE FROM A RAILWAY ACCIDENT. — On Sunday afternoon there was a very narrow escape from another dreadful railway accident to the passenger train from Dereham, 1.:i0, to Lynn, caused by more bullock a getting on the line. On this occasion the negligence— which almost led to another catastrophe like that of Monday week—was not on the part of the railway authorities, bat on the part of some perms.. who foolishly left open the gate of • piece of pasture land adjoining the Lynn and Norwich line; and when the driver of the train, • mu named Collyer, saw the cattle— which it is said consisted of eight or ton head of stock woo after leaving Middleton he immediately abut off the ream, blew has whistle three times, and th e b reak b e i ng immediately put on, • terrible accident was happily averted. The passengers hearing the whistle put their heads out of the window, aed in the language of one of them, " prepared for the won't," and got their feet on to the seat, experieg immediately to feel the shock. Mapr4however, th e acc id en t was averte d , arid the tzar was t to a stand still within a few yards of the beasts. It is to be hoped that after the experience of the last few days the suggestion of the government inspector, not only with regard to the frees, out also with regard to the keeping the grim locked, aid the asoopion forsidtad with a key, will be carried aut. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. POBEST OP DEAN. The Lalf-yearly meeting was held at the offices in Victoria-street on Monday ; Mr. A. P. manow in the chair. Mr. W. H. WILSON, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the director mince the last meeting - had been anxiously engaged in endeavouring toeffect a settlement of the liabilities of the company, and to provide for the completion of the line. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on the prospect of a pacific and speedy settlement of affairs. If the plan proposed by their solicitors could be earned out is its integrity the liabilities of the company could be satisfied, and the com pletion and opening of the line insured. In order to insure the working of their collieries at the least possible expanse and with the most productive results, they had enlisted th; services of Mr. Bartholomew, who was intimately acquainted with the mineral peculiarities of the district. It was esti mated that 10,0001. would be required to complete the line and bring it into operation, but arrangements would have to be made to meet the outstanding liabilities. Mr. BAXTER, the solicitor, explained the fi nancial plan that had been devised by his inn. It was to capitalise or convert into preference stock the 41,0001, of outstanding debt. Of that sum the directors would at once borrow 26,0001., of which 10,0001. would be laid out in works to complete the railway, and the remaining 16,000/. among the company's creditors, who would accept the rest of the pre ference stock in proportionate rates to their claims. After a long discussion it was resolved that the meeting should be adjourned until October, to enable the directors to negotiate with all the parties oonoerned &oil report thereon to the proprietors for their approval DUBLIN, WICELOW, AND WEXFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday, at the terminus, Westland-row, Dublin ; the Hon. G. HANcecx, chairman of the company, presided. The Bscarrsar having read the half-yearly report of the directors, which has been already published. The CHAIRMAN said, notwithstanding the adverse circum stances of the country, the report showed a progressive in. crease in the receipts of the line, the revenue for the half. year ended 30th June last exceeding that of the correspond ing half-year of 1862 by no lees than 3,0891. (Hear.) He was glad to be able to mention that, in earning that in creased sum, instead of adding to their working expenses they had diminished them by 8791. (Hear.) The report also stated that an increase of traffic was expected to accrue •by the opening of the line to Ovoca. He was happy to say that since the report was,written the opening of the Ovoca line had become an accomplished fact, and since the opening the traffic bad been exceedingly good. The report having been adopted, The following dividends were declared : On the 6 per cent. preference stock a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum for the half year ended Jane 30, 1863, payable on and after the 24th inst. On the paid-up legal mental of the 5 per cent. preference stock a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent.. per annum for the six months ending 30th June, 1863, payable on and after the 24th inst. On the original stock of the company, a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent, per annum for the half-year ending the 30th June last, payable on and after the 24th inst. MIDLAND. The following is the report of the directory to the thirty-ninth half-yearly general meeting to be held on Tuesday nest: " The directors have to express their satisfaction, that notwitlistitoding the continued depression in some branches of the trade of the country, the traffic of the railway show a considerable increase for the half-year. The receipts, compared with those of the corresponding period of 1862, are as under :—From coaching, 358,5724, showing an increase of 24,6141. ; from minerals, 223,2691., showing an increase of 10,9894 ; from merchan dise, 443,4971., showing an increase of 22,079/. ; from cattle, 14,6851., showing an increase of 5091. The result of the whole being that the amount of the gross traffic is 1,040,07.34, and the total increase 58,1914 The balance available for dividend is 373,660/. 16a. 5d., of which the sum of 4,1861. 3a. 7d. is brought from the account of the previous half-year ; and the directors are enabled to recommend the declaration of the following dividends (lass mums tax), payable on the lit day of heptember next :- 2/. 17s. 6d. upon each KM consolidated stook, 21.35. tkl. upon each 100/. consolidated Birmingham and Derby stock, 31. upon each 100/. consolidated preferential stock, 34 upon each 100/. consolidated Erewash Valley stock, 2/. 5.. upon each 1001. consolidated 41 per cent. preferential .stock, 2/, upon each 1001. Leicester and Hitchin pre ferential stock, 21. la. upon each 1001. consoli dated irredeemable 41 per cent. preferential stock 2a. 111 d. upon each 61. 4s. share, being 1 year on 4/. 4 . and 165 days on 14 per share at 51. 15e. per cent. per annum ; 2s. 8 2-sd. upon each 01. preference share at 41 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance of 2,094/. 7s. 2d. to be carried to the account of the current half-year. Mr. Kirtley re ports—' That the rolling stock is in good working order, and that during the half-year ending 30th June, 1863, the mile age performed by trains has been sa follows :--With pas senger trains, 1,901,236 miles ; with goods and mineral trains, 2,800,031 miles; total, 4,701,267 miles, which, com pared with the corresponding period of last year, shows au increase with the passenger trains of 96426 miles, and with goods and mineral trains of 286,351. Total increase 382,677 miles. The renewals of locomotive stock for the half year have been 10 engines, 14 carriages, 18 break vans, 7 horse boxes, 1 carriage truck, and 204 waggons, the entire cost of which has been charged to revenue.' Mr. Crossley reports—' That during the half-year 21 miles of single line have been relsid, and that the permanent way, work., and stations are iu good repair.' With respect to the new hoes the directors have to report, that the works of the Otley sod Ilkley line are making fair progress ; that the Tibabelt and Teversall Branch and the junction curve at Beightoo have beer let, and the works commenced; that the works on the Ashoburch sod Evesbam branch are also making good progress , the whole of the brickwork for the bridges arid veal being completed, and but little earthwork remaining to be done ; the station buildings on this line have been commenced, the work is progressing steadily, and there is every reason to believe that it will be so far completed as to be ready for opening by the end of the year. The Kowsley and Buxton line having been approved by the government inspector was opened for public traffic on the Ist of June, which was the day fixed in the contract. The works for the Junction with the Rowaley and Buxton line to the Dove Holes tunnel (a distance of four miles) have been contracted for, and are proceeding satisfactorily. The works of the Dove Holes Tunnel (whirl is about 11 mile in length) are being carried on by the company. All the shafts except two are down to the tunnel level, and the tunnelling is being proceeded with at ten faces. The remaining shafts are expected to be down by the Ist of Sep tember next. The line from Chapel-ear-le-Frith to New Mills, being a distance of about six miles, has been let by contract. and the works will he commeoced forthwith. The construction of the Whitacre and Nuneaton Railway, which wail let by contract in November, 1862, is now proceeding rapidly. Some delay arose in obtain-' iog possession of the land ; but the line may be expected to be opened in the suminer of next year. The following bills promoted by the Midland Railway Com pany, and to which the proprietors gave their unction at the special general meet. gs held oo the let of April, 19th of May, auil ltith of Juan, last, have received the royal assent, viz.—• A bill for the construction by the Midland Railway Company of a sew line of railway between London and Bedford, with branches therefrom ; and for other pue poem' A bill for enabling the Midland Railway Company to construct new railways and works, and to acquire addi tional lands in the West Wading of the county of York, and in the counties of Derby, Stafford, Warwick, Leicester, Gloucester, the city of Worcester, Nottingham, the towns of Nottingham, sod Northampton ; sod for other pumas.' ' A bill to empower the Furness Railway Company and the Midland Railway Company, to be called "The Furness and Midland ItailwAy ;” and fur other purposes." A bill for the construction by the Midland Railway Company of new railways from their Bristol and Birmingham line to the city of Bath, and in the city of Bristol ; sod for other purposes.' The last mentioned bill as deposited contained power to make a branch from Mangotsfield to Bath. but this branch has been postponed for the present, and the bill so far modified as only to authorise a short connecting line be tween the Midland Railway and the Bristol and Exeter Railway at BristoL The following bills relating to mea sures affective the interests of the Midland Railway Com pany, promoted by other companies, and to which bills the proprietors gave their sanction lit the special general meet ing, held on the let April, 6th May, and 16th June last, hove also received the royal assent,vir.—`A hill for making a railway from the Athcburch and Evesham Railway of the Midland Railway Company in the parish of St. Lawrence, 1 r2vasham. in the county of Worcester, to the Redditch way at Redditcb, with a branch to the West Midland Rail way ; and for other purposes.' A bill for making a railway from the Bristol and Birmingham line of the Midland Railway at Btonehouse, to Nailawortb, in the couoty of Gloucester.' A bill for the amalgamation of the West Midland Railway Company with the Great Western Railway Company ; and foe other purposes? 'A bill for making's. railway Iron, Peter borough to Thoreau, Wisbeach, and Sutton ; and for other A bill towhead. the Kettering sod Thrapitoos r= • Company to extend their authorised line of railway to Huntingdon, with a branch railway at Huntingdon ; to change their name ; to authorise them to use certain sta tions and portions of railway of the Great Eastern Railway Company and the Great Northern Railway Company ; and to make traffic arrangements and other unogemeota with i those companies and with the Midland Railway Company ; and for other purposes.' The object of them bills having i been already stated in the report to the half-yearly meeting in February last, and having beam further explained to the shareholders at the special general meetings above alluded to, the director have now only to coogratulate you that notwithstanding the powerful and protracted opposition to which the first two were subjected in Porliameot the whole of the bills hays now received the sanction of the legislature. The directors have sines the last half-yearly meeting made arrangements with the Great Northern, Great Western, and other railway companies, for the interchange of traffic and for other purposes, which arrangement. they believe I will be of advantage to the companies by placing the rele Lions between them upon a more amicable footing than here- tofore ; with this view they have also entered into nego tiations with the London and North-Western, and other neighbouring companies, in the hope that similar beadietial arrangements may be effected with them. A resolution will be proposed for consolidating, or converting into irredeem able 4 per cent. stock, such of the Cf. preference shares as shall have been fully paid op since the general meeting in February last ; oleo a resolution to authorize the follow ing expenditure on capital account :—Additional roll ing stock, 150,000/. ; additional station end siding accommodation, 50,000/. ; ale and corn stores, London station, 100,000/. Taal-300,0004 It is necessary for the proprietors to appoint five persons, each holding 2,0001. to stock or @bares of the company, to meet in January next to select and recommend to the next half-yearly meeting a suitable person to be appointed as auditor. At the conclusion of the business of the ordinary half-yearly meeting it will be made special, for the pur pose of considering, and if thought fit for approving, an agreement between tbs Evesham and Redditch Railway Company and the Midland Railway Company for the fol lowing purposes, or some of them, viz. :—The maintenance and repair, management, and working, by the Midland Railway Company, of all or any part of the Evesham sod Redditch Railway, and of the works and conveniences be longing thereto ; the regulation, interchange, and apportionment of the traffic upon the Eves ham and Reddish Railway, and the supply of any rolling or working stock required for each purposes - the fixing, taking, and levying of the tolls, rates, and charges upon, and the division between the contracting companies of the receipts arising from the traffic upon the Evesham and Redditch Railway, or any part thereof ; the payment by the contracting companies to each other in re spect of all or any of those several matters of a fixed interest or contingent rent. The shareholders ore aware that the line of railway between Barut Green, on the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, and Redditch, has been for some time open for traffic, and that it is now worked by this company under agreement. The Evesham and Redditch Railway is an extension of the former line, and will join at Evesham the Ashoburek and Evesham Railway now under construction by the Midland Company. It is evident, there fore, that the traffic of the district traversed by the Evesham and Itedditch Railway can be conveniently worked by the Midland Company ; and the directors believe that • work ' iog arrangement, comprehending the objects stated in the notice convening this meeting, will be beneficial to both companies, and recommend it to the shareholders for adoption." LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. The report of the directors, to be submitted to the bailie/ay meeting on the 19th inst., shows the amount of capital chargeable to revenue on the 30th of Jane, 1863, exclusive of leased lime, to be as fol lows :—Consolidated stock, 12,093,5941. • guaranteed and preference stock, 2,922,613/. ; loan; 4,568,3951. ; moneys in advance of calls, 260,7311.—t0ta1, 19,785,3331. The ex penditure charged to capital for the half year amounts to 153,8011. The total receipts during the last half-year were 863,5301.; and the disbursements, 374,723/. The balance of nett revenue, applicable to the payment of dividend on the ordinary stock of the company, is 272,3251., and out of this amount the directors recommend the proprietors to declare a dividend at the rate of 4* per cent. per annum, less income tax, and to carry forward the balance, 13,336/. 2e. 7d., to next half-year's account. Notwithstanding the ' continuance of the war in America, which affects so injuriously the trade of Lancashire, it must be gratifying to the proprietors to observe that the traffic re ceipt' of the half-year have been increased upon the same mileage by the sum of 46,4481. over the amount earned In the corresponding period of 1862. The permanent way is reported by the engineer to be in good condition, and the heads of departments also report the rolling stock which is under their charge to be in good re pair. The estimate of the requirements for extension and enlargement of stations and for the purchase of land during the current half-year is 70,000!., under the following heads : —Laud for station accommodation, 30,531 f. • works in pro gress, 23,7361. ; contingencies, 15,7331. • tota l , 70,000/. The works on the Oldham, Rochdale, and itoyton line are so nearly completed, that the usual notice has been given to the Board of Tilde to inspect it, previously to its being opened for public traffic. The directors have to report that the constructioti of the new line from Salford to Victoria station and also the making of the branch to Dewsbury, have been let to responsible contractors, upon satisfactory terms. In the session of parliament just concluded, a great number of measures were introduced more or lees affecting the interests of the company, but in the main the parliaments/7 proceedings have been very successful. The bill authorising the London and North Western and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies to raise 50,0001. each, for purposes connected with the North Union and the Preston and Vi yre Railways, has heal parsed. The directors succeeded, in the month of March last, in closing l an agreement with the North Eastern Railway Company, by which they were enabled to withdraw the bill for making a I new line in the Doocaster and Hull district, and this agree meat has been confirmed by the act of parliament just passed authorising the North Eastern Railway Company to make a line substautially identical with the one proposed by them. Under this agreement the traffic of the line will pass to and from Hull rid Goole upon advantageous terms, without any outlay of capital on the part of this company. The lines proposed in the interest of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Linoolnahire Company, for extending their railway in the direction of Wakefield, , have been rejected by parliament; the bill of the West ' Riding and Grimsby Railway Company, authorising run- Meg powers over lines belonging to or worked by this company, was withdrawn ; and of the flee branches pro posed by the Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway Com pany, at Low Moor, at Leeds, at Omen, from Wakefield to Kutton, to meet the Barnsley Coal Railway, and the branch to Metkiley, two were withdrawn, two rejected, and one only, the branch to Metbley, has been sanctioned by par liament ; and this on condition that this company and the North Eastern should have the option of becoming joint and equal owners with the promoters at any time within six months from the passing of the act. As this line is only about five miles in length, is easy of construction, and through a rich coal district, the directors be- Fi s e aes v i ci it will be to the interest of the pro prietors to become joint owners of the undertaking. The bill for enabling the Midland Company to make a short branch to connect Barnsley with their main line at ' Cudworth haa been passed ; but the attempt made by the Midland and Sheffield Companies to get parliamentary sanction in this bill to an agreement for an exchange of running powers between Manchester and the West Riding of Yorkshire has failed. A bill was introduced iota par liament by an independent company, composed principally of parties interested in the locality, for making a railway to , competition with the line from Blackburn through Chorley to a point on the North Union Railway, a few miles north of Wigan, with separate station accommodation both at Blackburn and Charley. The bill originated in and was passed by the House of Lords though vigorously opposed. This opposition was renewed in the House of Commons, and the ball was defeated. In the course of the proceedings the directors found it necessary to assure parliament that, in the event of the Lill being rejected you would undertake the making of a line of railway for the accommodation of this district; and subsequently an arrangement has been entered into with the promoters of the independent scheme for securing their co-operation in the proposed application to parliament next session. Other measures were ,proposed, prejudicially affecting the interests of this company in Lan cashire and Yorkshire, all of which have either been with drawn, er so modified by climes as to be no longer obits tamable. DANUBE AND BLACK SEA. The report of the directors states that the receipts for the eight month' ending 31st May amount to 14,615/., against 6,553/. in the corresponding period of 1861.2. These mulls have been obtalued sotwithathodieg the great defi ciency of the Louses in 1862. the produce of which has sup plied the traffic of the lot eight months, and it is only reasonable to expect that the results of the coming year will Lear their full relation to the abundant prospects of the present season. This ratio of increase has been maintained up to the date of the List advice., the receipts for June and July Laving been about 7,100/., aa compared with 3,3191. for the same months iu the past year. The proportion between receipts and working expenses I. flitted by 'steal experience to be substantially as follows :—W hen the receipts amount to Wt. per mile per week, the whole is absorbed by the work ing expenses ; when the reeripte amount to 2.i/. per mile per week. 50 per cent. may be taken as profit. With this fact before them, the shareholders will observe that the re ceipts for the List three months have averaged =l. per mile per week, and will be glad to learn that there is reason to anticipate an improvement in this rate during the remainder of the current rear. The progress which these figures de note is almost entirely due to the increase in the through corn traffic. The additional 10.0001. referred to in the last report as likely to be required has Leen obtained at 6 per cent., and exhausts the limited burrowing powers created by resolutions of May 31, 1861. MONKLANDB RAILWAY.—The report of the direc tors states that the rowel IA • on revenue acoount for the half year ending the 30th of June amonoted to 39,995 L, a nd for the correapoodiog half of 1862 to 42,206/., allowing a de crease in the receipts of 2,211!., and the expenditure, in. chiding interest oc loans, to 21,9291., against 19,8011., showing an increase in the expenditure of 4,0281., leaving the net telexes 111,0661., agiaiust2'2,3lrd.. showing a decrease of 6.2394, as compared with the corresponding half of 1862. The directors regretted that three accounts continued to show an unfavourable result. The main cause of the de ficiency was thecoutinued decrease in the mineral traffic, arisiog from the depressed state of the iron and coal trades. The directors proposed a dividend of 4i per Gent. per annum to the holders of the consolidated stock. The reserve fund amounted to 4,11821. revenue account showed that 39,99 rd. had been received for the past half-year, sod 19,8441. expended in working, 4 0841. for interest a lessn leaving a balance of 16,18161. The capital account showed that 917,728/. had been expended. A few days ago, several hundreds of acres of heath and furze Were buret at Sandford, in Dorretshire. Dothan embankments had to be suddenly thrown op to prevent the bre from reaching fields of corn and other raw able property.

The week's import is 21,815 Wok COTTON GOODB.—MAXCUESTCP., Mincer ll.—There bee bees •e business in yarns of all deeeriptione, at a rise of fully larg id. per lb. on the rates of last Tuesday. Th e buying has been very general, but the greeter proportion for India, China, and the Mediterranean. The home trade have been boyen, but bare sot operated nearly to the extent they would have dune in consequence of the high prices required. The yarn market closes very strong, with • decided upward tendency. In cloths there is also a de. mend, which is only checked by the higher prices required by manufacturers. Our report of Friday slated the ie. provement which, having commexced on Tuesday, had led to Nome heavy purchases ; and Mews. Feeder and Co., i s their semi-monthly circular for India (via Marseilles) of Q. Bth confirm that report, stating that the Laminae of the week " has included • wider extent of buying in cloths than her been the case for a considerable tulle past." The demand continues quite as brisk to-day, pee. haps, but business has been brought within narrower limits in consequence of manufacturers, like spinners, trying t o force up prices, so as to cover the increased price of canoe, which remains at nearly the consienrable advance which it attained the week before last. At the prices of last week for cloth sellers report that they could still do • good bust. nese, but that the advance has checked, though it La. not I suspended operations. The chief business doing is for India, in the lighter makes of shirtiogs, madspollarus, lops cloths andjaccunetri, but there is also some inquiry for the boom trade and for various smaller foreign markets. The improvement has caused a more cheerful feeling in the markets generally, It appears that the prospects of increased employment have for the present received• cheek, as shows by Mr. Farnall's report to the central committee yesterday, and in fact this was to be expected. The consumption of cotton has already reached probably the limit which the supply is likely t o afford for some time to come, and this alone would stop more mills resuming work fur the present. There is another indication of the limit being reached also in the fact that the demand for cotton goods probably already exceeds half what it did before the cotton famine, so that is reality fully as much more money is turned over in the trade as in 1860, • limit which the best informed commercial men have all along expressed an opinion was not likely to be much exceeded. MANUFACTURES.-11 UDOLUFTZLD, Atom 11.—The market has not been Onmerously attended by buyers al though • few from London were present. A moderate business has, however, been transacted both in blacks nod fancy trowserinp, and in low priced tapioca some good sized parcels have also been made up.
