The latter had two black eyes, and called upon wit ness to take the prisoner into custody.

That experiment, sir far from tending to induce 114 to extend our expenditure, in olue‘d us to look about to retrench it, and so far from in ducing us to farm high, it induced us to look about as to how we could work in the cheapest way. Another party tell*, us that high fanning is a word used in another meaning the nhanorn g the land by the maintenance of animal.: but upon thee peint we should be unable to eon. duct our operations :according to their views. Some time Si., a diaineuisheel friend of 111111 C in the north of }.lwl. be 01d, stated fore the public that, in his opinion, laneleal proprietors should turn their attention to another class of cultivetion, that they should grow flax, that, shunt all, they should use the new reaping machine, and that titre we would be able to recover ourselves entirely.

ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND 11.111.w - AY.—About two o'clock yesterday morning, a serious accident occurred to a goods train, proceeding from Derby to Leeds, which, be sides occasioning a complete stoppage of the line for several hours, will entail a con,iderable loss on the Midland Com pany. It appears that a goetts train, consisting of between 31) and 44.1 waggons, heavily laden, was proceeding between Chesterfield and Stareley, when the axle of one of the trucks near the engine suddenly broke, and threw it off the li.,e. The impetus with which the train was then moving caused the remainder of the waggon, to come into violent collision with it. One atter another they were thrown off the line, and soon formed a heterogeneous minis of goods and broken wag gons, which rendered completely impassable both the up cunt down rails. The telegraph was immediately called into re. quisition, and information of the accident forwarded to Chesterfield and Eekinoton, with instructions to detain the mail train from London, which leaves Derby for the north at 2.1.1 a.m., and also the night mail from Leeds, until the obstruSions were removed. Every exertion was made to accomplish this object with all possible despatch, but not withstanding this, it was between seven and eight o'ciork before the line was sufficiently cleared an as to enable the trains to proceed. In addition to the injury which mam a the waggons sustained, a large proportion of the goods with which they were freighted were more or less seriou-ly damaged. Nu Ultimo is attached to any quarter in respect to the accident.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1851. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the Scottish Central Railway Company was held on Tuesday, I in one of the rooms of the Gi meal Railway Terminus, at Perth; the lion. Mr. Dundas presiding. The report, which was resolved to be held agreed, showed that the revenue account for the half-year was 4:!,023/. 7s. M., and the expenditure 36,750'. sa. 10d., leaving a balance of 5,8731. 25., which, cibled to 8,080/. its. 11d., carried over from last account, left 14,4591. 7s. lid. applicable for a dividend. 'Die CIIA IRNIAN congratulated the meeting on the in crease of the traffic during the previous year—that increase being, as compared with 1851, 61,752 in the number of passenger., the increase in the receipts had not however kept pace with the increase in the number of passengere, which was to be ascribed to the merely nominal fans a hich they had charged during tl:c late couteat with the Edinburgh, Perth, Dud Dundee Company, for tho traffic between Perth and Edinburgh. Still, however, the increase of rciaipts over the corresponding half-year was 3,200 1 . The working cape IliC4 as would be seen from the report, ap peared to have undergone a considerable increase. In 1850, the locomotive charge was 5/593., whereas in 1851 it was 01,215!., slowing an apparent increase of 3,5521. lie said an apparent, because it was not a real increase ; and for two reason,. In no previous half-year had they laid by any sum for depreciation. Last year, however, they had laid pant for tin, object 1,070!., under the working agreement with the Scottish Midland and the Aberdeen Companies. This, then, although charged upon the expenditure of the half- , year, was an neso, in point of fact, available to the corn. pony. In addition to this a sum of 1,2302. had been ex inalniaimendaimpabo.pitat aomplete repair, a thing usual in other companies, and only done on the present oc casion that the three companies embraced in the work ing agreement might start iu the same state, the working expenses having to be all charged upon one common fund. This, then, was an item of expense that would not occur again, while it mould be a great source of future benefit to tire eumpany. Therefore, although it may have caused them anbli.ianal outlay in the meantime, this working agreement will, iu the end, be very mach for their pecuni ary benefit. Taking the whole of the traffic in goods, mine rol,, and lire stock, as well as passengers, there was an increase on the last half-year of something nearly approach ing to 6,000/. ; but of course against this was to be set the increase of expenditure, but of which, as he had endeavoured to explain, 2,3001. might fairly be set down as extraordinary expenses, ahil not applicable to any other hall-year than the present, and consequently should in reality he deducted (ruin :the expenditure of the half-year. The directors were of opinion that tire dividend declared should be fairly out of the earnings of the half-year to which it had rete rence; and it was on this view of the cue that they had recommended a dividend at the rate of 12.. per cent. on the consolidated stock. lie was glad to say that the new stock which had been issued had been taken up to a larte extent ; and he had not the least doubt that it would In all taken up. L'y the sums of money they had already received on account of it, the directors were enabled to proceed with the adjustment of all the uusettled claims of the company ; and it was their intention to proceed with the branch line to the harbour of Perth as soon as some little misunderstanding that had arisen as to a certain claim of servitude was got over. Ile was glad to say that the contractor.' claims were settled, and in a manner most satiafactury—causing a saving to the company of several thonsands, and putting an end to all fear of litigation on that scum. The working agreement with the Northern Compa s, so tar us they could yet judge, appeared to be doing very well, and ho had nu doubt theta would tend greatly to the future advantage of the Central Companv. The agree ment with tire Eiliuburgh. Per;ll, and Dutidee Company, and which had reference solely to the passenger traffic be tween Perth and Edinburgh, was to lie only for three mouths, by way of trial ; and that it would require to be still further adjusted might be fairly assumed from the eir cumntance that since it had been entered into the Central hail heeu carrying two to one of the passengers between Edinburgh nod Perth. (Hear.) The chairman concluded by mining the adoption of the report, and that a dividend be declared at the rate of 12*. fur each 100!. of consolidated stock, to tie payable on the 6th proximo. rlr. SPIERS seconded the motion, which wan unani mously a•;reed to, atter some slight discussion with regard to the c aecution of the branch line to the harbour of Perth, with respect to which it was said that it was the bola fide intention af the directors to curry it immediately into ex ecution. The meeting then adjourned. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocx. There is no general change in shares, but with the absence of operations calculated to support the mar ket, a few of the heavier descriptions show a little weakness, and have been transacted at rather cheaper rates. Great Westerns are sensibly lower, marking only 804, and North Westerns and South Westerns exhibit a slightly downward tendency.

No description of foreign Investment appears to attract prominent favour, and the business to-day has chiefly consisted of small bargains in a few of the regular dividend-paving bonds.

The quota tion of Mexican Bonds is anxious supported by parties in the house, in face of a growing feeling of distrust os to the future dividends, about which none of the accredited authorities here consider it necessary to afford explanation, and notwithstanding the accounts of contimied disturbances in the northern pros inees of the republic.

With the close of the Exhibition and the advance of the waster, the railway traffic returns are gra dually falling from their late high range; but the figures in nearly every ease still show a considerable increase over those for the correspondiir , week of last year.

Although :M. Bravo Murillo may justify this on official grounds, the bondholders will consider that it is is keeping with the confiscatory policy, on which he has acted throughout. The Bravo Murillo plan will figure in financial annals as one of the boldest and most strong-handed plans for appropri ating the property of other people, and he is evi dently determined that the process shall be in every respect unpalatable. So far as he eau he wishes to provide that no future finance minister of Spain shall in a tit of hontstyrceognise the just rights of the bondholders, but it is some comfort to retied that M. Bravo Murillo is not the perpetual ruler of Spain. The time will come when the coupons must be acknowledged, whatever certificate may be deli vered to the plundered owners, and it is to be hopes! an earlier period will be named for the increase of the pittance of deferred dividend allowed on the converted stock. We were in some doubt whether the meeting of coupon holders, called by Mr. John Fitzgerald, for Monday, would be of any use, seeing that the par ties interested had allowed the proper opportunities fur fighting the question to pass, or rather had left their advocates unsupported at the previous meet ings. This letter of Bravo Marino's will, however, afford a very good tilde for the meeting, showing how necessary it is that a permanent committee shall be maintained, and the proceedings of the Spanish ministry closely watched. Unless an ade quate organisation be kept up, the new dividends, if indeed payment be begun, will soon be allowed to fall into an-ear, while the claims of the coupon holders should be urged from time to time. An illustration of the rapidity with which mer chandise can now be transported from one market to another, even if half the globe has to be crossed, is afforded in the voyage of 72 bales of valuable silk goods,which were lately shipped at Canton, on board the Achilles fur Hung Kong. At Hong Kong they were transhipped on board the Suez steamer, from thence carried across the Isthmus, and conveyed in the Indus to Southampton, where they were landed in the docks and despatched by the first steamer to New York. Only 90 days were occupied in the entire transit, and it is calculated that with better arrangements at several points it might be done in 73 or 80 day 8. By this route, although apparently circuitous, there w as a considerable saving of time, which was rendered an object of the more import ance from the high rates of money at New York, and it is very likely that this mode of transit will be adopted to a large extent, provided the charges fur freight and passage present no obstacle. A considerable business has been done during the week in Bank shares. London and Westnauster shares arc attineting a good deal of attention, and on the whole, the price is well supported.

SAT.ISIItIiV MICII.IELNIA4 FAIR, Oct. 22.—There was very little business done here today either in Cheese or Onions. The former maintained yesterday's prices, hut the latter, in order to elf.ct a elvar.uwe, were easier to buy. The weather continued very fair, and there was a lull at tendance in the plea4nre fair. On the whole everything has gone off in a peaceable wanner. NEW RULE ItELATING TO THE SITTINGS OF COUNTY Cocurs.—ln the recent rules issued for the regu lation of County Courts, there is one declaring that "On or before the Ist of January, 1842, the judges shall appoint the days and hours for holding each of their courts during the months of January, February, and March in the said year, and on or before the lirgt day of ever) month after the said month of January the judges shall appoint the days and hours far holding each of their courts during the month next following the three months previously appointed, and a notice of ouch appointment shall forthwith be put up by the clerk in sonic conspicuous place in the court house, and in the office of the clerk ; and whenever any day so ap pointed fiat holding the court shall he altered, notice of such alteration and the time when it will take elleet shall be put up in some conspicuous place in the court house and clerk's mike, prarided that the judge may from time to time hold additional courts besides thou hcridubefore required to ho appointed. Two courts shall nut be held before the same judge in one day." It is to be hoped that the time wheat the courts aro to rise each day will he stated, which notice would benefit all parties and prevent late ,•ittingl. TEE 1)00Y OF WILI.s.—A lady, of cousidernble beauty and still young, died a few weeks ago (says the ( aldeltnnotel) at the Datignolles. As she hail lived alone, the jugs ale polio, of the district took toossession of ilVe Mr niture and effeett on behalf of the heirs. Amongst other things was a rather large collection of richly bound books. On opening one of the volumes, the juice de totals fouud a will; in a second there was a sassanal will; anal in nearly all the others there were others. Each of these wills was of a different date, anal each constituted a dill; rent person universal legatee. These legatees were all young inea -1 officers of the army, advocates, shopmen, artists, actors, students, architects, physittimm—in short of every pro fession, and of almost every class of society. In quiries having been instituted, it was ascertained that the lady had married eight or ten years before, but, being of a romantic disposition, hail mon vio lated her fidelity to her husband, and, haring aban doned him, had indulged openly in intrigues with every young mall who struck her fancy. Her relations with each were, however, of short duration, owing to the fickle ness of her disposition ; but having, it appears, a sort of monomania for making wil s, she regularly drew up one in favour of every new lover. Each will thus set aside that which preceded it ; but the last of all was valid. The jugs du pail caused the person named in this last one to ho sought for, and he turned out to be a young artist without fortune. lie was warmly congratulated on his good luck, anal calculated on being placed in comfortable circumstances fur lift:a—the' lady having an income of 30,000 fr. a year; but a few days aao the husband lomat nted himself, and de stroyed all the artist's hopes by producing his marriage eam tract, which established hint inheritor of all his wife might leave at her death. A WI.NY. CI-MAR.—On the end of a stick gleams a monkl of candle, which sends a light flickering Over tho plate like a Jack o'Lantern; running down the low vault, roof; dancing among the cobwebs as it it would tear them ; and lighting up walls of bottle-ends, that point grimly towards us like batteries of cannon. This is the re gion of bins. Here there are bins six bottles deep; for of bottles full of port, there are four thousand three hundred. Our attention is directed to the port of Sir Charles %Vetherall ; port, we arc given to understand, worthy of a lawyer, a wit, and (remember the antique, respectablo orthodoxy of the wine) a tory. The light falls next on some champagne of fourteen years' bottling; each bottle trailing a venerable beard, and slowl)• maturing into mellowed glory in its recess. These bottles, like the actin, a or the just, Smell sweet, and W.W.m in the dust. Here, also, in tome champagne of the vintage of '46—a pe culiarly wed champagne vintage; a happy year for cham pagne lovers. Lucky the man who secures the wine of that year; it being common among dealers to mix the wines of various vintages. Denouncing the practice with crowider abk we pass on—between hecatombs of Johan nisberg, Tukay, and Burgundy—to more port in what is hap pily named " u lining bin." Port keeps its ancient popularity still ; for wine-bibbing people obey the French adage, and always return to their first love. In thin bin is some very fair port, through which Jones, u full. bodied member of " your committee," looks knowingly as he holds it in the light ; and over which Smith smacks his contented But . . In yonder bin . Druid lies! a rare and venerable wine, worthy of the palate of tho most accomplished of existing judges. There is some plea sure in giving such a wine to him ; a pleasure such as an artist [eels in the applause of a flinger. I ask, with bumble awe, who might claim the distinction of being the best judge of port ? I learn the name. It is a good name, —a name as good as bank notes ; for, scrawled at the foot of oblong little documents, it commands the payment of thousands of pounds, and the awe of hundreds of citizens. I cherish that name iu my memory ; and if I ever meet the bearer (may it be at a feast!) I rather think I shall ho very civil to him. But " whether draggest thou me, 0 Bacchus ?"—as Horace exclaims. Still we glide through rivers of sawdust, between genial embankments of wine. There are twelve hundred dozen bottles of champagne down here; there are between six sad seven hundred dozen of claret. Corked up in those bins is a capital of from eleven to twelve thousand pounds those bottles absorb, in simple interest at five per cent., an income amounting to some five or six hundred pounds per annum. "Your committee" are naturally puzzled with this embarramment of vinous riches. They are too much awed to choose. Des " they ascend from the vault. As they take leave till dinner time, they speak confidentially to mule host ;—" As to the wine," says Jones, "we leave all that to you."—A win resolution, Jones.—Dickens's House/sold Words.
